OMMERCE

By R. E. L. MEL

Having succeeded in getting its
'Ducks in a Row" with the election
of officers for the ensuing year and
adopting a major plan of work, the
Salisbury Chamber of Commerce feels
sincere optimism for the future. The
new head of the organization is Bryce
P. Beard, a Salisburian fully endowed
with the natural abilities of a leader.
He is a young man with the confidence
of his neighbors and a reputation for
having once "set his hand to the plow"
of never turning back. His lieuten-
ants are also young men of marked
ability and business acumen, S. H.
Plexico and Edwin Earle, Jr., having

POINTS OUT WAY
TO PROSPERITY
in FINE SPEECH
Obstacles Listed As Obso-
lete Farm Methods, Bay
ing Abroad And Neg
tecting Virgin Forests.

If the south can be persuaded to buy
more southern goods, its economic
progress is assured, said Hugh l.. Nc
Rae of Wilmington, N. o., president
of the Southeastern Economic c,un-
Gil.
Three factors, he said, are retarding
the south, and if not changed will
guarantee its ruin. He named them as
an unfavorable trade balance, an obso-
lete agricultural system, and failure
properly to utilize and rebuild forest
lands.
Southern people,, h. said, ''buy
more of service and goods than they
sell. Continuance of this practice on a
scale approximating that of the pres
emit must complete our financial ruin.
The south has for the seeking and tax
ing the best unsaturated market in the
world, but its own requirements are
now supplied from other sections. To
seize this market requires no assent but
u own, no courage-only wisdom.
IF consistently followed, it will
start throughout the southern states

lem, attract new capital, stop the ruin

Here is a suggested prayer that is
going the rounds:
f"Now I wake me up to work;
II pray the Lord I do not shirk;
If | should die before the night,
| pray the Lord my works all right"
Salisbury will have the honor and
pleasure of entertaining the North
Carolina Commercial Secretary's As
ISOLATION on Monday next. There are
some sixty-five chamber of commerce
secretaries in the state and at the meet
ing held in Kinston in 1881 it was de-
cided to meet in Salisbury this year.
Just how many visitors will be here
cannot be told, but an interesting pro-
gram has been arranged and Ralph
Bradford, manager of the Commercial
Organization Department of the U.
S. Chamber of Commerce, will arrive
Sunday night and attend the meeting
during the entire session. He will be
the principal speaker at the annual
banquet which is to be held at the
Yadkin hotel beginning at $50 Mon.
evening. At the luncheon meeting at
l P. M, the guest speaker will be F.
Roger Miller of Asheville, a past pres
ident of the National Association of
Commercial Organization Secretaries.
The opening session which will be
at the Yadkin hotel at 10 o'clock Mon
day morning will be called to order
by the president of the association,
Charles M. Ketchum, of Greensboro.
After an invocation, addresses of well
come will be made by the mayor of
Salisbury, B. V. Hedrick, and the pres
ident of the Salisbury Chamber of
Commerce, Bryce P. Beard. A response
to the address of welcome will be made
by some of the visitors. Then will
follow the appointment of commit
tees, the. presidents address, the read
ing of the minutes, etc. During the
afternoon session a feature particular
ly interesting to Chamber of Com
merce workers will be a Round Table
conducted by Mr.. Bradford and sub
jects will be discussed looking to the
rendering of better service to their
particular communities through an ex-
change of experiences and results
achieved.
The faer that che headquarters of
the Piedmont Highway Association is
in Salisbury is beginning to dawn up
on this people generally and the real
ization is being borne home that it is
a distinct asset to the community.
Hundreds of inquiries are coming into
the headquarters here and Salisbury is
hereby becoming known in localities
that never knew it before. 1t is pre-
dicted here that during the coming
months a vastly greater percent of for
eign cars will be noted visiting in and
passing through Salisbury.
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1932-03-25

will be brought to the attention of the
board of directors and no doubt steps
taken for a survey.

blame all this on the war. To cer-
tain extent, that is fair enough. But
1t is likewise true that many depart
ments Of the federal government have
proven inept, inefficient and wasteful.
The Farm Board has spent the greater
part of s5O0,oOO,0oo In an effort to
maintain prices on certain COM
modities-and has made monu-
mental and predestined failure of it.
Two hundred millions more is being
poured into Boulder Dam. The post
office is one long deficit The govern
ment operates ships at loss-the
shipping board appropriation in 1890
was sll,4s4,0OO. And, to go back a
few years, the government sunk ST.
6o0,0oo,o00 while it was running the
railroads.
The condition of the states is even
gloomier-while federal expenditures
were increasing 730 per cent between
1908 and 1928, the states were more
reckless yet, with a 900 per cent in
crease. Every family in the country
is saddled with a government debt of
81 900!
The thoughtful citizen will wonder

WHERE OUR MONEY GOES.

We often consider the debt ridden
condition of foreign countries and pat
ourselves on the back because the
United States is not in the same boat,
But If the trend of recent years con-
tinues, it won't be long until we are.
In 1900, the per capita cost of the
Federal government was s7.2s, and it
increased ten per cent in the next Ii
years, In 1881, the per capita cost was
$S4.37--an increase OF 500 per cent in
Is years. According to treasury esti-
mate, the combined deficits Of 1881,
1882 and 1888 will increase the Federal
debt by the neat sum of s3,25oooO 900,
bringing the total debt to the stagger-
ing total Of sls,24o,oOooOo.
1t is a favorite political practice to

those of an adult. As soon as he learns
to sing. he will take delight In imita-
ting many Of these feathered songsters
perhaps the meadowlark's sweet song
Spring Is here" or the red-winged-
blackbird's "O-Clee' as 1t sings in the
bog.
Field glasses and the child of seven
should be close companions from now
on. With the glasses, at this time Of
year, one can see the rose tint on the
head of the purple finch as 1t feeds in
dustriously on the seeds of the ash
trees, and can distinguish whether
those birds making sound like rusty
hinges are the bronze or the purple
grackles.
And even the child of three and one
half enjoys the thrill OF painting Its
first bird house. Bluebirds and wrens
will soon be ready to start housekeep-
ing, and their daily life will be a sub
ject of intense interest and of educa-
tional value to the child.
Nature provides fascinating school
which practically all children love to
attend and the spring session always
offers particularly rich experiences for
both young and old.

when April Winds
Grew soft, the maple burst into a flush
or scarlet flowers
THE Fountain"
William Cullen Bryant.
Now is the time for the pussy-wil-
lows. The red maple is in bloom. Cat
kins on the willows are furnishing food
for the birds. Patches of ambitious
grass tell us spring is near. The elm
will soon be in bloom, and 1t is nearly
time to search for hepatica and blood
root.
The child should early be taught to
enjoy these flowers us they grow in
their native haunts, but why not let
him start collection-one plant of
every specimen? This will satisfy his
desire to gather, collect, and, possess,
and will develop in him sense Of APP
probation Of the wonders of the plant
world as he learns to observe closely
the resemblances and differences be-
tween the roots, stems and leaves of
the different plants. At the same time
there will be instilled a desire to pro-
tect and cherish the plants and wild
flowers and to refrain from ruthlessly
pulling up armfuls of them each year,
as thoughtless persons have done and
so brought about the extinction, in
many sections. Of some of our most
beautiful species.
The names together with their ORR
gins and the many myths and stories
connected with the plants will soon
become familiar to the child. Such a
plant collection will prove fascinating
just as do collections of stamps min
erals and insects, and will be of real
value in training him to an appreci-
alton of the wonders of nature.
Now is the time for the child to put
on his comfortable shoes and rubbers
and tramp through the woods, turn
ing over logs and looking under de-
caying vegetation in search of natures
surprises. He will find it much more
fun than the commonplace peanut
hunt, and will learn much that is OF
value and interest to him. The scar
let saucer, attached to an old branch
will fill his heart with delight.
If he listens he will hear the wood
peckers drumming and many other
members of Mother Natures family
busy preparing for the summer. From
the topmost branch of some bush or
tree the brown thrasher will soon be
singing, and the chickadees and song
sparrows are already twittering their
love songs. The ears and memory of
a child are often more sensitive than

WHAT THE ELECTRIC
INDUSTRY DOES FOR US

The electric light and power COM
panies of the nation paid $16,00O,000,
or 8.5 per cent, more in taxes in 1880
than in 1929. In period of 20 years,
from 1862 to 1880, inclusive, the taxes
paid per dollar of gross revenue have
trebled.
Whether or not these taxes are ex-
cessive or equitable is beside the point
here. What is not beside the point is
the tremendous contribution made by
the power companies to the upkeep of
government. During 1880, as in 1881,
most businesses were more or less in
the doldrums. Their tax payments
fell off critically, as the treasury
records show. And the power COM
panies, during that time, were assum-
ing more and more of the cost of gov
eminent.
This record can be paralleled in
other phases of the business. Good
authority shows that, of all major in
dustries. the power industry has
maintained better than any other its
employment level and its wage scales.
During 1881, sales of power, and net
profits, have naturally gone down
with the drop in general industrial
activity. But the industry's total of
employees has been maintained at a
consistently high level
Likewise, it has spent a great sum
well over half a billion dollars-in
new construction and in expansion
work. This, in turn, has given en-
ployment to thousands of workers,
skilled and unskilled, at good wages.
Few of our institutions have done as
much. None has done more-not only
in the present but in the past, And
none gives greater hope for future
achievement.
