the crate makers jumped into II e work

selling the crates as fast as we can
make them-so we shauld worry. One
of our best customers said that our
crates are superior to any othe2 he

operators. 1t is our intention to deliy-
er the best goods we can produce and
if at any time they are inferior ii is
because we could do no better. With
the right machines and real co-opera-
tive spirit, we can and will beat the
products of capitalism. The children
were busy to-day repairing sidewalks

out industrial work for the school as,

APmAL. VALuE
AND STANDARDS
By III E. Branch

By II E. Branch
L has been amply and forcefully
demonstrated to world intelligence that
q prime cause Of the high cost of liv-
ins, social unrest. and financial cha
os everywhere existing is due to IN
stability OF prices in making domestic
and foreign exchange Of products; in
other words. inability to define cor
rectly the character and volume of val
re N units of commerce.
The onlv way possible Of eIiminat-
ing an effect Is to remove its cause.
m this case ignorance Of values. When
producer and consumer can correctly
define the value of products. thew will
demand just equivalents in making
commercial exchanges, and an honest
public sentiment will enforce their de-
mands without confusion or without
controversy.
Known and generally recognized
facts will not admit Of argument When
world democracy and stable govern
ment have become automatic qrd self
adjusting, social unrest, miIitarisn
and financial chaos will disappear. and
every child of man will have full on
portunity to develop morally. phvs-
lcally and mentally to the limit Of its
natural ability.
Capital includes all units EMPLOYED
by. society in social development and
human uplift. Value is CORRECTLY de-
fined and measured by stating the
volume end character Of social SER
vice rendered Standards are natural
agents bv whose means we NAV cor-
rectly define the character and volume
Of all social units and thus remove
them from the realms of controversy.
Any part Of a thing, LARGE or small, IS
a unit Of that thing and that unit never
varies in character, composition, and
function. This is automatic.

ed when Abel kept his flocks, units Of

watts. degrees, rods, ETC. existed end
functioned exactly as they do to-day,
and will so continue through perpetu-
al ages. The laws of nature never
sleep.
Dollar is term by which we de-
fine unit of gravity containing twen-
ty-five and eight-tenths grains weight
(of gold). That unit Of gravity al
ways existed, always will exist and will
never vary in function. will always de-
fine twenty-five and eight tenths
grains weight and nothing else. We
cannot define value in terms Of weight.
A bushel Of No. | wheat in the
twelfth century, when it sold for about
two cents contained exactly the same
number of gravity units. cubic units,
and nutritive units that it contains to-
day, and always has and always will
render exactly the same value or vol
ume of social service-will never vary,
but ever remain the same in compost
ton. character. function, and value.
Standards are natural products over
which men and nations have no jur-
isdiction, no option in their selection
and establishment. Nature established
gravity. duration, space, altitude, long
imetry, ETC., as standards of weight.

time. capacity. height, length, etc.
Man has no choice in the matter, what
ever. A standard is identical in char
acter with the units defined, with the
units that compose its structure.
The law Of standards defines stan
dard as the greatest possible or culmin-
ating unit Of its kind and includes all
units Of its own character. Gravity in
cludes all weight units. space all ca
pacity units, duration all time units, etc
IEfence the standard of values must in
clude all units of value or all factors
Of commerce. An understanding Of
that law makes the location of STAN
dard simple matter. Name its great
est unit, and you have named the stan
dard.
Space includes the universe and is
the standard Of capacity and the great
est unit of capacity. Duration in
cludes all units of time from seconds
to eternity, and is the only possible
standard of time. Gravity embraces
all weight units, altitude all height
units, etc. Obedient to that law, all So
cial factors, all units of commerce,
from toothpicks, minerals, power-sitcs,
etc., to the worlds greatest transporta-
ton systems are parts or units of the
Standard of Value.
Labor is the worlds greatest unit Of
value and includes all other units Of
value combined. 1t is the greatest IN
it Of commerce and is the only possible
standard Of value. As space is the
architect Of all capacity units, SO is
labor the originator of all commercial
units. The first intelligent step in any
enterprise is to determine correctly its
labor cost or requirements, and that
core or value is determined by the vol
ume and character of labor required.
There is no other way of determining
values; and this fact is recognized and
employed by all contractors of public
and private enterprises.
Without space there can be no ca
pacity; without duration there can be
no time; without gravity there can be
no weight; without altitude there can
be no height; without dominating or
unlimited units there can be no STAN
dards.
Without labor there can be no wood
pulp, no musical composition, no
books, no tools, no machinery, no en-
terprise, no transportation, no COM
merce, no business, and no civilization.
Labor, bought and sold, is the one I'M
it of value that comprehends and de-
fines all units Of value.
The value of any product is cor
rectly defined by the volume and char
acter of the labor employed in its Gre
alton.
AS we define and measure heat,
steam, light, and electrical energies by
their results, products or units SO can
we define and measure labor energy
by its results. products, or units. A
table of actual values in different de-
nominations of units of value will elm
mate social and financial stress forever
from the affairs of men.

GETS2 YEARS ON
 SHILLING CHARGE

Selma, october 19.-(Special. )- penitentiary sentence for illicit dis tilling upon B. B. Bassett, former druggist of this city, in the circuit court yesterday renewed interest was felt in the sensational raid, made re- gently upon the Bassett home above Summerfield, by deputies from Selma.
 Bassett is an alumnus of the old Southern university, formerly at Greensboro, and he is a man of expe- rience in the drug world. He was connected with the largest wholesale drug firm in Selma several years ago, before embarking in the retail drug business for himself in East Selma. Rumors of distilling operations conducted by Bassett reached Selma police circles in such numbers as to warrant a searching investigation of the Bassett farm, where. in small house, were living Bassett and his wife.
 The place was surrounded late in the afternoon, and as officers ap- preached from the front Bassett is alleged to have cried out to his wife; Here come the officers. Get ready
 
 So quickly was the raid staged, however, that small resistance was given, Mrs Bassett devoting her en- tire attention to destroying whisky stored In the house, according to the officers When the raidfng force reached the small house 1t was sew eral feet deep in whisky, poured out of jugs and vessels about the place, they declare. Three hundred gallons
 of beer were still untouched in one | corner.
 1 As Deputy Berry entered the door
 Mrs Bassett seized a lamp from the | table and hurled 1t at him. It missed
 it's mark, but the explosion which | followed set fire to the whisky run ming over the floor, and for time it seemed that the place would burn, as | no water was available.
 We put out that burning whisky with beer from the untouched kegs in the corner" said one of the raiding | officers, in recalling the incident. 1 Bassett was arrested and brought
 to Selma and placed under $500 bond
 which he, jumped. Later he was cap
 tured in New Orleans and returned to 1 Selma
