throughout the county.
The live BUSINESS men of London
and of the county were not slow to
take advantage of the annual farm
tenant issue and place before the
farmers their announcements in lib
eral advertising space.
This spring found many tenants
coming into Madison from adjoining
dounties, some of them from the hill
counties of southern and eastern
Ohio. These "Hillikan," settling on
Madison's rich level black lands, have
come here to stay. These newcomers
are almost sure to be prosperous as
nearly every neighborhood in Madison
county has well-to-do tenant farmers
and farm owners, who from the hills
not many years ago, came here poor
and have constantly applied in then
new homes the hard work and econ
omy they found SO necessary to ever
make a living on the thinner hill
lands S
The tenant farmers have not had al
during these years Of re-adjustmen
an easy time even in rich Madison
following the high markets of worl'
war period, 1t is to be hoped tn
worst is past and that the sun o
prosperity is rising again to shine 0
this industrious and frugal class 0
good people so necessary to the wei
fare of the county. r

SALISBURY'S MAYOR

The following editorial is clipped from the March 10th issue of
The CooLeemee Journal:
Salisbury should indeed be proud of its mayor, MI. B. V. Hedrick.
10 substantate this statement, many reasons could be enumerated
In the first place, Mr.. Hedrck, Immediately upon taking office two
years ago, placed the citys financial affairs o a sound business basis.
Not satisfied with this, MI Hedrick prepared a financial statement
OF the condition of the city and published it in the press for the
information of the citizens of Salisbury.
Upon MIR. Hedicks recommendations, many economies have been
effected IN the operation of the citys government, and many thou
sands OF dollars have been saved the taxpayers of that fine city.
Upon Mr.. Hedricks suggestion and direction, the city of Salisbury
has Just recently completed one of the most modern civ halls in
the state. 1t is large, commodious and centrally located. 1t houses
the various offices OF the different departmental divisions of the city,
including the offices of the tax collector, mayor, city manager, water
work superintendent, and police force.
ASIDE from his activities as mayor, Mr.. Hedrick owns and operates
one of the finest hospitals in this section of the state-The Lowerv
Hospital Salisbury, N. G.. Drs4L owery and Moncure, physicians IN
charge, have established an enviable record during the past several
years and many persons from Davie county have gone tt this institu-
ton for treatment These have been SO we'll pleased with the treat
nent received and results obtained while at this hospital, thew con-
tinue to praise the hospital and management long after being cured.
Mayor Hedrck is also owner of the Hedrick Auto Company, Ford
agents for Rowan county.
These arr but a few of the accomplishments of Mr.. Hedrick, but
we believe they ire such as to cause the II, 900 residents of Salisbury
to be justly proud of their mayor.

KEEP AFTER THEM

F.. If the wet leaders are wise they
will set their faces sternly against
I~leniency to b%ootleggers, rum run
ners and "hi-jackers" during the
period which must elapse before
prohibition repeal is ratified by the
States.
1t is essential that there be no
widespread. increasing violations
of the law which might lead to a
further orgy of lawlessness while
the various States are considering
repeal. There are some States
where repeal may possibly hang in
the balance for months.
A further and a still stronger
argument for preventing the boot
leggers and rum runner from run
ming wild is that they will take ad-
vantage of any hull in law enforce
ment to consolidate their position
in the liquor business.
In many parts of the country,
particularly in New York and the
West, gangsters are in control of
the beer business. They have fore
ed their product on the s~peakeasies.
The power of the gangsters is so
great that competition with them
when liquor becomes legal will be
no easy matter.
The time to drive them out OF
the business is now. They will not
surrender without a struggle. They
aim to keep their control after pro-
hibition is repealed. 1t is essential
that their hold be broken for if
they wax stronger they will have
a strangle hold on the business
which the legitimate brewers will
find it hard to break.
Let the authorities do their part
towards putting a curb on these
persons so dangerous t the cause
of repeal at the moment.

SUCCESS In three years
1t is refreshing amid the general
gloom to hear of a man who has
pulled himself out of the depression
by his own efforts. His name is S.
&c. Driver and he lives at Colds
boro, N. c..
Three years ago he had three
cents in money and a secondhand
automobile. He BORROWED" the
use of nine acres of unused land in
the Goldsboro Fair Grounds. Then
he sold his a for $40 and two
barrels of corn. He bought three
pigs with his $40 and started
farming. Now he has 500 pounds
of meat in his smoke-house, four
shoates, a SOW and five pigs, fifty
laying hens and plenty of potatoes
and vetegables to eat.
Money isn't as important as
grit and the will to get ahead.
BEER it's here again
Beer is legal again. The brewer:
are jubilant. Shortly beer adver-
tisements will appear everywhere
in the hope that the younger gen.
Grafton, which has never acquired
a taste for beer, will take to it.
The theory of the new beer law
is that beer of 81 per cent alcoho.
is not intoxicating. Nevertheless
some states are forbidding its sale
to minors.
My own idea is that not many
people will care to drink enough
of this mild beverage to get drunk
on it, though that would be posi-
bic if one took enough. Beer ha.
never been widely popular outside
of the big cities. Americans gener-
ally prefer something with a rea
"kick'' in it. We have always beer

THE RAILROADS AND
WHAT THEY MEAN

The inroads that the truck bust
ness has made into the business of
the railroads of the country is
common knowledge, but apparent
ly few people realize of how much
concern this situation is to the
country as a whole. The problems
and welfare of the railroads are a
very vital part Of the problems and
welfare of the nation. We are not
opposed to the truck industry; it
has come to be a part of our mod
ern Life, but the time mas come
when some policy should be map
ped out which will permit the rail-
roads as we'll as the trucks to exist
and do business.
Here are some figures about the
railroads which are interesting,
showing, as they do, the part rail-
roads play in the Life of the public.
These figures are for the Southern
Railway:
Employs $4,000 men and wo-
men.
Has a 9o,ooo,ooo annual pay
roll.
Has $500 miles of main line
track.
Has 1900 miles of double track.
Has $500 miles of yard and side
track.
Has 1880 locomotives.
Has $4,000 freight cars.
Has $500, 100000 invested in.
tracks, yards, shops, buildings, To-
comotives, cars and other property.
Serves 1900 communities IN
twelve states and the District OF
Columbia, with a population of
100000 people.
Moves 10000 loaded freight cars
per day.
Runs 245 passenger trains per
day.
Deposits 100000 per day in
Southern banks.
Pays u $4,000 per day for
wages. i
Pays out $4,000 per day for
for taxes.
Contributes 100000 per year
to the schools of the South through,
taxes paid to states, counties, cities
and other civil divisions.
When we multiply these figures
many times to represent the many
other rail systems in the United
States we get some idea of what,
financially speaking, the railroads
mean to America.

THE EVILS OF A SALES TAX

Some of the evils of a sales tax
are listed by the Winston-Salem
Journal as follows:
1. The sales tax violates ability
to pay by placing the tax on the
necessity to buy. This is a serious
objection. Ability to pay an est
ablished principle Of taxation in a
democracy. Democratic govern
ments violate that principle at their
peril.
2. The burden of a sales tax will
fall hardest upon the poorest and
lightest upon the richest class of
citizens.
3. Its fundamental aim is to free
property and wealth and possession
and income and Inheritance from
taxation.
4. 1t fastens a new burden uron
consumption and as the head of the
department of economies of the
Wharton School in Philadelphia has
stated, cit is destructive of bust
ness, a defect particularly serious
at this time when we are trying to
encourage business activity"

oldest celebrates
The oldest school in America is
celebrating its three hundredth an
n~iversary. 1t is the Collegiate
School of New York, which was
founded by the members of the
Dutch church in New Amsterdam
in 1888. Wouter van Twiller, then
the Governor of the colony, wrote
back to Holland to ask to have a
school-master sent out who might
instruct the youth, both Dutch
and the blacks, in the knowledge
of Jesus Christ, and also serve as
and precentor." According
ly Adam Rolantsen came over
from old Amsterdam and started
the school.
The Dutch Reformed church of
New York has become the wealth.
lest church organization in the
city, owning millions of dollars
worth of property which has been
given to it in three hundred years.
The old school has maintained a
high standard of education and
sends its graduates to the great I'M
lversities in increasing numbers.
Free public schools were unheard
Of when the Collegiate school was
started, and for nearly 200 years
afterward. Many good church,
people of all sects prefer to send
their children to a school where
they can be sure Of sound religious
raining as we'll as "book-learn-
.ng."

'ne stormy Sunday recently, not
liking to brave the weather to
-ravel to my own. 1t was a little
church in a poor district, and Il
Vas surprised when the service
vas over to realize that nobody
lad passed the collection plate.

how Gomez" He pointed to a box

n Catholic churches, but never
in a Protestant me.
TOO many of our congrega-
ion can't spare even a penny for

wants to contribute, he can do it
lere, but nobody notices whether
me does or not

money can't be giving them any
hing which they value very high

Anyway, | put something in the
