Russia's New
Economic Policy

Suizran, on the Volga, May A.
| Five hundred miles from Moscow and
at the border Of the famine belt, it
becomes evident that the first year of
Soviet Russia's new economic policy
has made far less changes in the
provinces than in Moscow, Petroe rad
and the other big cities.
Far removed from the seaports
connected with the manufacturing
districts by broken transport sys-
tenn overloaded with shipments of
food and seed grain to the worst
stricken hunger regions, large pro-
vincial towns such as Suizran have,
naturally, benefited very little by the
present freedom of trade.
They are not starving, as the prov
inccs farther down the Volga, but,
at this time of the year, with the
/ next harvest some months off, they
are living day to day from hand to
mouth.
Markets are open, but display scan
ty stocks and at prices as high OF
higher than in Moscow, while the
peasants and towY dwellers have not
the abundance G1Rpaper money which
seems common to all in the cities
Besides, they are slower to think and
spend in millions and seem reluctant
to part with the printed bits of pa
per which Muscovites spend freely
today in the belief that they will buy
less tomorrow.
In the principal street of Suizran
which has more than 10000 inhabi-
tants, the correspondent counted less
than 10 open stores in a miles ride
| There were three or four bakeries
displaying meager stocks of pastries

years of war a,Sd revolution that
shows much more plainly in the prov
inces than in newly resurrected Mos

When the Volga opens in the sprin,
some of Suizran's shop windows ma
be filled again and if the comm,

Trade That Touches All of Us

We always look to George f. Sob
"rts of the National City Bank to put
things clearly. He told the Export
Managers Club at their recent meet
ing in New York what had happened
to the world and gave a pat and
pertinent illustration.
Russia, he said, was one of the
great tea drinking countries of the
world; India was one of the great tea
producers. The war stopped Russia
from tea drinking and India couldn't
sell her tea. India is great cotton
wearing country, but if she couldn't
sell her tea she couldn't buy cotton, so
the mills of Manchester shut down. If
England'S mills were not running our
Southern farmers could not sell their
cotton and they in turn shut down on
buying.
What is true of tea and cotton is
true in Il greater or less degree of the
hundreds and thousands Of things that
make up our daily life. The Austral-
ian market for shoes affects the mill
towns of New England and the fash

Old Kentucky Shindig
 Rituals City Cabarets

Brodway Cabarets create pity in the light of the gaiety of a good old Kentucky shindig as shown in Heart O the Hills," Mary Pickford's latest First National picture which will be shown at the Royal Fri day, April IA.
 As Mavis Hawn, the hard working and unlucky daughter of a Kentucky mountain fami- ly. Miss Pickford is given an unprecedented opportunity to display her ability to produce laughs and tears.
 Unwilling to see her rustic Romeo defeated in jigging hon. ors by an aristocrat from the lowlands, Miss Pickford dashes into the circle and makes a nobele tffort to keep the dancing laurels among the mountain folk. The dance is suddenly interrupted when Uncle Zeke, going on 93 years old, orders the dance to stop. He has lost his teeth.

"A house divided against it. self can not stand.
 The words are true in all ages and with all people.
 That failure will invariably follow disunion is as certain as that success results from unity of purpose and action.
 Fortunate indeed is that town that is blessed with a citizenship that can come to- gether as a unit whenever the towns interest calls. It argu- es we'll for the breadth of mind of it's citizens that they oRn see beyond their purely personal affairs and catch a view of prosperity in the large.
 But the real cause of dis union in the average town Is not that it's citizens are so deep ly engrossed in their own per- sonal affairs, but that one is jealous and envious of another, one clique supicious and dis trustful to another. Not only this, but each is really willing to forego any advancement If by so doing the other may be thwarted.
 This is a deplorable state for any town to fall into. It Is sure death to all progress, and not only that, but is invariably the direct cause of that town being left behind in the march of progress.
 We are we'll aware that all communities have their fac tions and their divisions of sen- timent and interests. We are equally certain that this fact need in nowise deter the town from seizing every opportunity to further it's interests in every available way. If men could once be brought to see that by thwarting the interests of the town through their opposition to a faction, they were injur. ing their community, surely

they would take a different view of things.
 The man who deliberately stands in the way of his com munity's progress is disloyal. This word has an ugly sound, but we can@lse no other, be- cause no etAr so we'll fits the offense. Placed in broader cir cumstances, the offense would be magnified. No mans per sonal interest ano and no man 5 personal animosities can for a moment weigh in the scale with the welfare of his community, and the man who permits them to do so is as truly disloyal as the man who deliberately plots against his country. There is difference only in the magni- tude of the offense.
 Fortunate indeed is the town which, when any move affect ting the general welfare is be- ing considered, can drop it's factional disputes and put a united shoulder to the wheel in the public interest.
 No man has the right to in- flict his personal grievances on his community and compel it to suffer because of his own sore toe. Yet this is just what he does when he is not willing to join in with the other side in every matter t h a | is for the advancement of the community interest.
 We have said that all towns have factions. Towns will al- ways have them. This does not mean that the towns pro- gress is retarded by them. In many cases the factions serve to stimulate rivalry in achieve ment. Where this is the case they are benificial.
 A wholesome slogan for any town would be: Go after an opportunity and land it; then if we must scrap, let it be over a division of the spells"

BARNBURNERS AGAIN
 IN EVIDENCEAT ROSIE
Miscreant Who Tries to Fire Ira Castleberry Barn Is
 Chased Into Hills

Charles Robinson, special of- ficer detailed on guard duty at Rosie, to protect the prop erty of Dave Wyatt and others who have been frequently warned against cattle dipping, and whose barns several efforts have been made to burn, while on guard late Tuesday evening, fired five shots at man at tempting to make his way through bushes toward a barn belonging to Ira Castleberry. The man evidently intended to fire the barn. Castleberry has received the same warnings as those sent Wyatt, warning him against dipping his cattle and threatening destruction of his property and cattle should he attempt to obey the dipping aw S.
 Ira Castleberry and Kelly Wyatt, residents of Rosie, who were with Robinson at the time of the shooting, joined in the chase and followed the mis- creant for more than a mile in a southerly direction. The man, whom they failed to rec ognize, outdistanced them and made good his escape into the hills. Several special officers together with farmers living near Rosie, have been on guard day and night for more than week to prevent the nightriders from burning barns in the neighborhood.

made by Judge Edward L. Stewart,
recorder Of Beaufort county court,
when he let FIVE negroes charged
with gambling sentence themselves
with their own dice.
When the negroes pleaded guilty
to the charge, Judge Stewart asked
one of them for the cubes which were
quickly produced. He told them he
would let each defendant roll the
bones one time and would sentence
them to serve as many months on the
road as the dice indicated. The ne
groes began to roll and talk to the
dice, and they received sentences
ranging from three to twelve months
on the chain gang.
Judge Stewart later changed the
sentences to fines.

This is going to be a year in which
all of US must look almost solely to
the banks for help in agricultural
matters, and it is a mistake to bring
about a state of affairs which neces-
states the carrying Of money away
from our own locality.
Then again the people here are
borrowers. They borrow largely on
lands for the purchase OF other
lands, or to pay the purchase money
of particular lands. The money Dor
rowed is secured by mortgages. The
integrity of these mortgages de-
ponds ON the taxes being paid. If
the people do not pay their taxes
this year, and if next August a man
disposed to make loans in this state
comes here and finds m years tax

es about due, he will conclude that
this is no state in which to make

We believe therefore that it would
be wise to demand the payment OF
taxes under the existing law, and that
will be unwise to extend the time
for payment of taxes. Last years
experience taught u that this is true.
