a few other bets in the press of

But just as the social revolution was
getting well on the way, somebody
hung on a "verboten" sign and the
revolutionists went back to beer and
pinochle. However, that's the way
those bloodthirsty Huns always do,
and what are we home and radiator
revolutionists going to do about it?
Another detail | fell down on was
that | didn't expect the Bolsheviki
to hang on for more than a year,
although | never laid me down to
sleep without praying that I'd find
myself dead wrong by breakfast. An
other ex%tenuating circumstance | can
plead is that Comrade Lenin himself
only hoped to hold the fort for a
year or so. Besides, whoever would
have dreamed that the Allied Anal

would furnish the picks and shovels
which enabled the Bolsheviki to dig

NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY

The upward movement in commodity prices has
begun. That is what all the economic authorities
have been saying must happen before prosperity can
come Back. Cotton is up, wool is up, hogs are
up, rayon is up, and silk went up so high and 50 rapidly
on the Japanese Silk Exchange the other day that the
authorities closed the exchange to prevent a riot.
With raw materials rising, it follows that the prices
of goods manufactured from them must speedily rise,
and that brings the matter right home to everybody in
this town..
Now is the time ito buy.
Commodity prices are not going any lower. They
have touched bottom. People who have been waiting
to make their purchases until they were sure the bot
tom had been reached had better dig into their purses
now and buy while the merchants shelves are still
stocked with low priced goods. They are not going
to remain on the shelves very long, and the next lots
which our local dealers buy are going to cost them
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1932-09-23
o and will have to sell for more.

more and will have to sell for more.
We have a distinct feeling that we have turned the
corner on hard times. w find that all over the coun-
try almost everybody shares the same feeling. We all
want prosperity back, and we want it back as quickly
as we can get it. The quickest way to bring it back
is for everybody who has an untitled want and any
money whatever with which to supply that want, to
spend that money NOW. Dollars are going to get
cheaper, as goods go higher in price. 1t has been many,
many years since the dollar would buy as much in
clothing or fabric or groceries OF hardware, in shoes
or household goods or furniture, as it will today. 1t
will be many, many years, we hope, before it will a.
gain be possible to buy such bargains as are available
all round us today.
The people who have been wise enough to hang on
to their money during the depression are setting the
example for all the rest of us. They are buying in
the stock market, they are buying in the wool market,
they are buying in the cotton market, they are buying
in the silk market. That means that "big money has
got over being afraid, and we think it is time for les
ser people with little money to overcome their own
timidity and begin to spend.
By buying now you speed the return Of prosperity.

of the most hated element in the community. What
a crowd!
Nowhere is there such a stratling example of exc
cutive success as the way in which that organization
was brought together. Take the tax collector, Mat
thew, as the most striking instance. His occupation
carried a heavy weight of social ostracism, but it was
profitable. He was probably well-to-do according to
the simple standards of the neighborhood; certainly he
was a busy man and not subject to impulsive action.
His addition to the group of disciples is told in a single
sentence:
"And as Jesus passed by, he called Matthew"
Amazing. No argument; no pleading. "A smaller
leader would have been compelled to set up the advan-
tages Of the opportunity. "Of course you are doing
we'll where you are and making money" he might have
said. II can't offer you as much as you are getting;
in fact you may have some difficulty in making ends
meet. But l think we are going to have an interesting
time and shall probably accomplish a big work Such
a conversation would have been met with Matthew'S
reply that he would 'have to think it over" and the
world would never have heard his name.
Jesus had the born leaders gift for seeing powers in
men of which they themselves were often almost un-
conscious. One day as he was coming into a certain
town a tremendous crowd pressed around him. There
was a rich man named Zacchaeus in town; small in
stature, but with such keen business ability that he
had got himself generally disiked. Being curious to
see the distinguished visitor he had climbed up into a
tree. Imagine his surprise when Jesus stopped under
the tree and commanded him to come down saying,
To-day l intend to eat at your house"
The crowd was stunned. Some of the holder spirits
took it upon themselves to tell Jesus of his social
l1.-I.. II. ,o.lI~,& .n..J - 1.,L. +bo ,,;c+,La of
visiting Zacchaeus, they said. Their protests were
without avail. They saw in Zacchaeus merely a dis
honest Jew; Jesus saw in him a man of unusual gener-
osity and a fine sense Of justice, who needed only to
have those qualities revealed by some one who under
stood.
So with Matthew-the crowd saw only a despised
tax-gatherer. Jesus saw the potential writer Of a book
which will live forever.

COM MENTS
Suggests Republication of Debts Along
With Prohibition.
To The Editor:

To The Editor: .
1t is said that around 70 cents of
each tax dollar goes for debt service
or to pay interest on bonds. When
thirty-seven hundred homes were
sold this year for taxes, it does not
seem like We can pay this interest
much longer. If we can't pay the
interest on a debt without losing our
homes, how can we ever pay the
debit
This would be a good question for
our school boys and girls to debate:
Resolved, that all homes should be
sold for taxes rather than repudiate
county bonds" We might start on
county bonds and tackle State bonds
later if necessary.
1t looks like people are going to
be given a chance to vote On legaliz-
ing the sale Of liquor, the prince of
home wreckers. While we are voting
to ~legalize the sale Of liquor, why not
vote to do a little bond repudiating?

]. THE
Tower


Hon. O. Max Gardner,
Governor of North Carolina.
My Dear Governor:
It has been interesting to note
that IS per cent or more of the con-
tracts for supplies for the various
state departments and institutions re.
Gently awarded by the division of
purchase and contract have been OBJ
tanned by North Carolina concerns,
and that in mist cases Of awards to
outside firms the commodities proba-
bly, could moi be bought within the
state. I have noted also that the
construction contracts awarded by
the State Highway commission have
gone to North Carolina concerns,
except in a small percentage of cases.
l understand that in some states
something in the nature of a small
handicap is placed against outside
contractors, and some North Caro-
lima concerns have found it difficult
therefore to get the business of such
states. Such a policy, of course, is
designed to promote home industry
and give advantage to those who pay
taxes within the state: I believe the
taxpayers of the state like to see
their money kept at home, so far as
is consistent with reasonable econo-
my. Certainly the North Carolina
contractor, manufacturer or dealer
should be favored when their prices
for the anne quality art practically
as low as those of outside concerns.
Governor Matthew Roman.

AGAINST LIQUOR


To The Editor:
Will you kindly print in your paper
this letter against open saloons, boot
leggers, bad liquor and for genuine
temperance.
Bad dirty liquor made Of sugar,
red devil lye, ETC., like is reported
sold these times by a few bootleggers
who don't respect themselves enough
to not sell such liquor to a few peo-
pie who don't respect themselves too
much to drink it. 1t causes all to
error who drink it, and he that is
deceived thereby is not wise.>
Open saloons and bad dirty liquor
we do not want-Genuine Temper
ance is what we want and it will
come to, all the American people
when the people decide to love each
other better and love his neighbor
too much to sell him bad liquor and
the neighbor learn to love himself too
much to buy or drink bad liquor or
to be deceived thereby.
Right and temperance will prevail
when all the American people learn
to love the peoples soul more than
they do bad booze or money untold.
Dear readers will you think wisely
and soberly.
Yours truly,
F. E. BARRINGER.

AND THE LAWYERS TOO

Figures given out by the State Bar Association show
that of the 1899 lawyers in North Carolina, only
1852 paid license taxes to practice during the year
ending on May 81, 1882. And of the 1852 who paid
their license taxes, there were 562 who paid only the
half-fee upon the statement that they received less
than $1,000 during the year.
Some folks have on idea that the depression has con-
centrated upon their particular line of endeavor, but
it doesn't take. much delvng into other professions to
discover that all have suffered alike-even the lawyers

those who should see it, won't.
There is an abundance of idle land
in this country. No people ever
starve, no matter what the difficult
ties, if they have access to land, and
will use it. 1t is the one source OF
livelihood that all must depend on,
regardless of what their occupation
may be. So if we really wish to cure
this depression, brought on by mach
ines, and gamblers, the one sure way
to do it is to confscate all unused
land, necessary, put the helpless vic
tins of commercialism on it and let
them live.

Detressjon-Cause end Remedy.
To The Editor:
Those who will learn better some-
time, perhaps, are still trying to bluff
the depression.
They speak of it as if it was a
phenomena, such as the eclipse Of the
sun, or moon, that comes about on
schedule and departs the same way.
They seem to be wholly oblivious
Of the reasonable inference that such
an effect as the present depression in
quence of a Nationwide calamity is
exercising on all lines of business
nd on every class of our citizens
could, by any means, have come a.
bout without a real and specific
cause.
They talk of unemployment and
lament its extent. They seem to
want people to think the depression
caused unemployment The truth
is, unemployment caused the depres-
sion. Labor, without jobs, and far
mers getting nothing for their pro-
duce, forced business men to carry
their stocks of goods on their shelves
because laborers and farmers could
not buy what they needed.
The reason why so many laboring
people, the industrial workers, are
out of work, is because machines
have taken their jobs. The reason
farmers cannot get the cost Of pro-
duction for their produce is because
the city workers have no jobs, and
hence no money.
The machines that robbed the
workers of the chance to labor and
earn, do not cat, either potatoes,
beans, chicken, pie OF cake. They
are going to eat any Of these
things, or wear any Of the overalls
made from the farmers cotton.
Thee are facts that cannot be ig-
nored. They are facts tnat must be
met and remedied. Employing just
a few laborers here and there, to
build a postofice or a hard surface
road-most building and road work
is done by machines now-and doing
this with borrowed money, which
must be repaid with interest, will get
us out Of the depression just like the
frog got out of the well by climbing
up two feet during the day and fall
ing back three feet at night. The
problem solved in this case, said the
frog would land in hell on time, If
he kept this up.
There seems to me, only one reme-
! dy for the present situation, and
