To All Motorists:

To All Motorists:
According to a brief article in The
Safe Driver, a publication of the Ma
tional Safety Council, about 90 per
cent Of all motor vehicle accidents
can be charged to three things: Bad
judgment, carelessness and stupidity
In a recent study of over a million
motor accidents, it was found that the
entire share of fatal accidents attri-
butable to defects in the car amount
ed to only about II per cent, while
for non-fatal accidents the car was
defective in but 5 per cent of the
cases.
In other words, 9 accidents out of
10 are the fault of the man who drives
the car, and not the car itself. As DR..
Miller McCl intock, of Harvard, has
phrased it, the remedy is to convince
man that he must live up to his car
When he reaches as high a degree OF
perfection in his driving as the modern
automobile represents, deaths or
streets and highways will be due fol
a 80 per cent drop.
The modern highway is often con-
gested. Traffic moves fast. There il
no time for Observation-Disclosures, for :
single instant of distraction from the
job at hand. Everyone who drives ar
automobile should keep in the front
of his mind the trinity of destruction;
Bad judgment, carelessness, stupidity.

To the Farmers of
Rowan County,:

To the Farmers of
Rowan County:
In a recent radio address, David
Lawrence, the well-known political
journalist and editor of the United
States Daily, said that the present
transition of agriculture from an I'M
organized basis, constitutes the most
hopeful feature Of the present agri-
cultural situation.
The cooperative movement is grow
ing to a remarkable degree, not only
in scope but in strength. There are
now about $4,000 cooperative associa-
lions in the country, with a total
membership of about 100000 farm
! ers. They did a business totaling ST.
400, 100000 last year-an increase of
$100,o00,0o0 over 1880.
Thus, in spite of present depressed
conditions, agriculture should be OPP
timistic for the future. The day the
first cooperative started was a red let
ter day in the history of farming. And
the day the last group of unorganized
farmers join together for mutual ben
eft, the farmer will have reached the
goal for which the more progressive
members of his industry are working.
The time when a man could stand
alone in his business dealings is past.
He must join with his fellows in the
same endeavor, so that all may pros
per and find a sound market for what
they have to sell.

LOW WAGES AND PROSPERITY

One of the arguments of wage reduction ad-
vocates is the claim that lower wages will slim
ulate business recovery and hasten the return
of prosperity by enabling manufacturer to
reduce their production costs and consequent
ly the prices for the articles which their en-
ployes produce.
This contention received a heavy blow by
the report of the U. S. Bureau of Agriculture
Economics on wages of farm laborers. The
Bureau said that wages on United States farms
have dropped below the 1881 level. Lowest
wages are paid in the South Central and South
Atlantic States, at u to "a cents a day with
board and 90 cents to $1.02 a day without
board. Highest wages are paid in the North
Atlantic States, where the average rate is $1.7O
per day with board and $2.37 without board.
Monthly rates, the Bureau found, range
from $14.43 with board in the South Atlantic
States to $3.50 with board in the Far West
ern Safes; and without board, from $3.50 in
the South Atlantic States to $31.45 in the Far
Western States.
The Bureau also found numerous instances,
particularly in the North Central States, OF
laborers driven to the point of working for
their food and lodging alone, which is the diet
the farmers furnish to their horses.
If the wage reducers' contention that low
wages and the following low production costs
contribute to business revival and prosperity,
the farmers should be in the foremost ranks OF
prosperity.
But the truth is that millions of them are
IN the verge Of bankruptcy despite the fact
tina: in addition to low wages they are assist
ed by the Federal Land Banks to loan them
hundreds of millions of Government furnish
ed money at reasonable rates and backed up
by the Federal Farm Board subsidized with
$500, 600, 900 supplied by the Government to
stabilize the prices of farm products at reas-
enable figures.
Their condition is so desperate that Con-
gress has appropriated an additional $685.
000, 900 for the use of the Federal Land Banks
to assist them with new loans.
The situation in which the American farm
ers are placed should put a definite quietus on
the activities Of low-wage propagandists.
Low wages, with the consequent small buy
ing power Of the workers, are our greatest
handicap to the revival of normal business &C
tivity and the return of prosperity.
1t is regrettable that some of our reading
business men have not the ~clearness of vision
to see this elemental economic truth.

WHITE AND NEGRO TENANCY IN
NORTH CAROLINA

When one thinks of farm tenancy in North
Carolina he usually thinks of it as a negro
problem and dismisses it as such, but figures
and facts given in the University News Letter
by S. H. Hobbs, Jr., show the fact is that 50
per cent. of all farm tenants in North Caro-
lima are white farmers. Ten years ago only fiji
ty-four per cent. Of all tenants in the State

the money in a field and surrendered.

GROOMING OMNIA VINCIT

He said that no true American mar
