FARMERS ARE GoUGED
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace Af-
ter the Money Lenders.

Determination to lay before the
National Agricultural Conference this
week "the thoroughly selfish and
grGsping attitude of many companies
of different sorts which loan money on
farm mortgages" was announced to-
day by Secretary Wallace.
Declaring that many farmers who
have never done so before are having
to mortgage their lands in order to get
necessary money, Secretary Wallace
said "it is discouragirg to note that
many companies and individuals who
are in the business of loaning money
on farm mortgages are taking advan-
tage of the farmers distress to heart
lessly extort a rate of interest and
terms of loan which cannot be justi-
fed"
Farmers, the secretary said, were
being compelled to pay 6, s 1-2 and
per cent. OH five and 10 year loans,
without optional payments, and also
a commission of or per cent. while
in some cases as high as 10 per cent.
was being added. The secretary also
charged that many loan companies
were cutting down the amount they
loan per acre to the lowest possible
point thus restricting the farmers
credit at the very time when ii should

The Canadian authorities have
consented to the extradition of Matth-
ew Bullock, the negro who is wanted
by the state of North Carolina for his
activity in connection with the race
riot at Norlina a year ago. Bullock
has the reputation of being very pad
negro, ard it appears that he was able
to bring to bear in Canada very con-
siderable racial influence in fghting
the law. 1t is stated by the North
Carolina authorities that there is no
danger of mob violence on his return
TO North Carolina; but it is deemed
best that he be committed to the pen

Mr.. Wallace declared that no one
could find any fault with such restric-
tions in value of farms as may be die
tated by sound business judgment and
no one should object to fair rate OF
interest, but he added, "in this time
of national stress one finds it neces-
sary to rigidly censor his own words
when speaking of some of the prac-
tices being followed by altogether too
many companies and individuals en-
gagged in the farm mortgage business"

NO SUCH THING.
Page Says There Is No Such Title AS
"Conaressman."


"Congressman."
Any high school student standing on
his constitutional rights, is reminded
that the next time Representative Nc
VonGoogley, of the 753rd district of
Delaware, for example, is introduced
by the teacher at the Friday night
speaking service-which preceded the
refreshments-as Congressman Nc
VonGoogley, he may rise and declare
there is no such dignity.
Digging through the musty records,
William Tyler Page, clerk of the house
of representatives, has found-and
printed in little hand book-that
there is no official sanction for the til
tie. The constitution, says Mr.. Page,
sanctions the use of the words rep
resentative" and members" as des-
ignating those persons composing the
house.
But like other words which have
crept into use since Noah Webster's
utly, congressman ldNSS 10 pit'SSb "AN
the average representatives, over the
telephone or to your face-if you don't
know him-will say he is Congressman
So and So. Some cabinet officers at
house committee hearings, who don't
happen to know the representatives by
name, meet the occasion by saying
Congressman" The easier method
around the house these days, If a man
wants to keep within the constitution,
is to address a member as Judge" 1t

have plenty of artificial fishing bait
for years to come. The other day the
stock of a Charlotte sporting goods
house that had been more or less
damaged by fire was sold and DR.. Neil
and Mr.. Rudisill who chanced to be in
Charlotte while the sale was in pro-
gress were attracted by some 800 boxes
of artificial fishing bait that was Of
fered. They bought the whole busi-
ness-some 300 boxes and the vari-
colored minnows are now strung by
wires along the walls in the office of
Mr.. Smith and make quite a unique
display. Guess we have plenty to do
us a while now" commented Mr..
Smith the other day. when we go
up to Bridgewater fishing we've had
lots of trouble in the past on account
of the bait occasionally sinking and
catching on snags and other objects
in the big lake. I've known Bill
Rudisill to dive from boat in order
to release the bait. But reckon we
can afford to lose a few that might
get hooked now"

Proof of Hebrew Origin.

What gives the version significance
is Professor Clay's proof Of its Hebrew
origin. The tablet has been in the
possession Of scholars for twenty five
or more years, but never before has its
value been realized with such force.
Examination Of the Babylonian records
of the Flood has caused the learned to
assert that the Biblical writer drew his
material from the countrymen Of As
surbanipal in the East, but the old He
brew document disproves that theory.

First Hint of Famine.

Here, then, is the very Oldest eXtant
ancestor Of the story of Noah with the
addition Of the hitherto unknown tale
Of the great famine. According to this
version, a long drought and pesti-
lence that exceeded the most CHASTITY
human imaginings preceded the Flood
itself, desolating the land and des-
troying most Of the people, whose
wickedness and violence had aroused
the divine wrath.
One should notice also that the early
writer is not strongly monotheistic.
Hebrew religion, as depicted here, is
just emerging out of the throes of
polytheism. There are distinct traces
of cult Of many gods, over whom the
One Supreme Being is gradually as
summing complete domination. He is
in time to become the One God of the
Israelites.
1t is only after the horrors Of the
famine and plague have exceeded the
point Of endurance that the great De-
luge comes as kind of coupe de grace
to doomed humanity.
How closely this version resembles
the very earliest form of the story, no
one will ever be able to tell. 1t is cer-
tain, at any rate, that innumerable
changes must have crept in through
the two thousand years of copying, re-
copying, editing, amending, revising,
adding to and taking away from the
lost oldest version. One needs only to
take his Bible down from the shelf
and compare the corresponding pas
sages in the Book Of Genesis to see
what enormous work Of many hands
can make in TIE retelling Of the same
legend.

Ten Women Witness EIectrocution OF
Negro Rapist.
McIver Burnett, negro, convicted Of
an attack on a white woman was put
to death in the electric chair at the
state prison in Raleigh, N. c., last FRI
day, in the presence Of his victim.
Burnett who had stoutly maintained
his innocence during the trial was
heard to humble something as the
jailers strapped him in the chair.
What is he saying?" asked the wo-
man.
Tell them I'm guilty." replied the
negro without lifting his eyes. Ten
women in all witnessed the execution.
One woman tainted.
The woman who had accused Burnett
was accompanied by her husband and
mother in law.
The woman, who is the wife Of a
nearby farmer, and who is still in her
teens was slightly pale but showed no
other signs Of emotion. AS she passed
out Of the crowd in the death chamber
she was asked if the execution met her
approval.
Yes, sir" she replied, at certainly
did"
Burnett, who was IS. years old was
serving thirty day sentence on the
Wake county roads on conviction of
vagrancy when the attack was made.
He had the liberties of "trusty" at
the time and had but one more day to
complete his sentence.

JEFFERSON ACQUITTED
Columbia Hotel Company Found Not
Guilty of Selling Liquor.

Guilty of Selling Liquor.
The Jefferson Hotel Company, of Co.
lumbia, was acquitted at Aiken in
Federal court, Friday of the charge of
violation of the national prohibition
act in storing liquor.
The Jefferson Hotel Company, Of
Columbia, was charged with violation
of the prohibition act in storing liquor
unlawfully and being party to the sale
of liquor to guests. 1t was found after
the trial had progressed some time
that one Of the jurors, B. R. Pauling, OF
st. Matthews, was brother to one of
the witnesses Marion Pauling, clerk at
the Jefferson Hotel. Judge Smith was
about to discharge the whole jury but
decided to excuse B. r. Pauling and
try the case with eleven men. 1t was
charged that on June 3, last, Federal
Officer l.. 7. Queen in company with
State Constable Rodgers and Mr.. Hart
went up to the sixth floor to room $40
and were served with one quart OF
bottled in bond whisky by Glenn Rice, q
negro porter of the hotel, that after
being pressed Rice stated to the Of
ficers that he had secured the whisky
from the head porter, Hampton Fielder
Fielder and Rice were handcuffed and
taken by the officers to the police sta
ton at Columbia. Constable w. w,
Rodgers on the stand today testified
that a brother officer named Thorne
and himself hid under the bed while
Hart ordered and scured the whisky
for SIS. He denied that a gun had
been pulled on Clem Rice to make him
tell where he secured the liquor and
that the negro brought the party
down to the basement of the Jefferson
Hotel and gave them a satchel con-
tanning or quarts of bottled in bond
whisky. The jury was given the case
at lis after the charge by Judge Smith
who impressed the fact that corpora
tion might be entirely innocent Of the
acts of it's employees. District Attor-
ney Meyer stressed the fact that the
hotel company still kept the mer
charged with handling liquor in their
employ. =. NJ. Nelson, of Columbia
represents the defendant company.

To Take Off Free Line?

Telephone subscribers in Glover who
are anxious for the Piedmont Tele-
phone Company to furnish them with
a common battery system similar to
that in use in Yorkville have about
come to the conclusion that the tele-
phone company isn't going to do it
despite the fact that a rental of 50
q month is charged for residence
telephones here against a charge of
$1.75 for residence phones in York
vile. Word comes from Gastonia that
instead Of doing that the telephone
people are considering the idea of dis
continuing the free line" between
Glover and Gastonia and making 1t q
toll line instead. 1t is said that the
service on the lGastonia line is not as
good now as it might be and that
there are n number here who propose
to do some real kicking If the company
adopts policy of charging toll for
this service. Inside dope" is that
one real big row is brewing over the
telephone question and that it Is like
ly to break out most any old time.

"Big Town Stuff."-The city of Mon
roe is experiencing quite little ex-
citement over the proposed increase of
the water supply for that town. The
aldermen recently DECIDED to run q
pipe line to Lees upper mill and
opinion seems to be divided as to
whether or not the decision is well
taken, some Of the citizens, who went
swimming in the proposed source Of
supply when they were boys, remem-
bering how deep the mud was in the
bottom of the pond at that time, and
fearing for the health of those who
will have to drink the water The
aldermen claim that modern purifica-
ton methods will eliminate all danger
from drinking the water and say that
the opponents of the plan are very
much in the minority. They further
say that experts advise that all the
other streams of the county are too
far off to consider. Running up against
problem of this sort would seem to
aid Monroe's claim to being a sure
enough city as it is essentially "big
town" problem.-Waxhaw, IN. c. En-
terprise.
