n the same boat-the path back te
solvency is bound to be a slow ano
painful one. We are not at all
sure that all of the plans proposed
at Washington to tighten the bur
dens of individual and, corporate
debtors will work as planned, blu,
they are at least along step toward
pulling us out of the hole.
The problem of the debtor who
can't pay is as old as humanity.
In the 18th chapter of Deuterono-
my we find the way in which the
ancient Israelites solved it. "At the
end of every seven years thou shall
make a release. And this is thu
manner of the release: Every credi-
tor that lendeth aught unto hi.
neighbor shall release it; he skal
not exact it of his neighbor or Of
his brother, because it is called the
Lords release. OF a foreigner thor
mayest exact it again; but tina,
which is thine with thy brother
Thy hand shall release"
Forgiveness of debts was one OF
Of the tenets of the early Chris
,ians, and the plea comes down tc
US in the Lords Prayer.
Perhaps too many debtors Of our
day expect to be released without
any payment whatever. We would
not go so far as to advocate the
Chinese system, under which L. r
thousands of years every Chinese
had to settle all his debts every
New Years Day, with the alter
native, if he failed, of committing
suicide Or entering into slavery to
his creditors. But we do believe
that most Of us would be better
off if we never had been able to
borrow on long terms, but only for
short periods, and then only as
much as we could satisfy a reason
able creditor we could pay when
due.

GETTING OUT OF DEBT

We have seen a statement re-
Gently, prepared by men who have
made a deep study of the subject:
hat the United States and its in
habitants are in debt to the tune
of one hundred and thirty foul
thousand million dollars. Tha,
includes all government debts, Fed
eral, state and local, the debts OF
the railroads, public utilities and
industries, mortgage debts and fin
ancial bond issues.
There is no manner of doubt
that in the great boom era credi,
was far too easy, men and institu-
tons went into debt recklessly
and that the great problem of the
hour is how debtors can be enabled
to pay their debts without at the
same time running their creditors
Short of universal bankruptcy
for the rest of the world is much

BUILDING UP OUR NAVY

1t is good news in more ways
than one that the United States is
starting out to build our Navy
up to the Init permitted ;.,i Ter
Cur naval treaties with Great Brit
ain, France, Italy and Japan.
We say that with no belligerent
spirit. We hope we shall never
have to use our Navy for anything
but police duty. But these are I'M
settled days in international affairs,
and we do not believe that our NJ
ton, the most powerful in the
world, should drop into a position
of inferiority as compared with
other sea powers. We have heard
reports that some people of other
nations think the United States has
gone completely pacifst and that
we are either too cowardly or too
stingy to provide for our national
defense. From that state of mind
it is but a step for some of them
to find an excuse for trying to use
force to take something away from
us. +.
The spending of $23S,ooo,o 900
in new naval construction will not
only bring our Navy up to full
treaty standards, but it will pro-
vide immediate work for a great
number of w~age-earners. The
Government estimates that more
than $4,000 men will be. employed
directly in the shipyards. But to
build ships steel must be fabricat-
ed, huge armies of men must b
put to work making guns and ar
mor-plate, building engines and
electrical equipment and all the
rest of the fittings and equipment
which go into a man-of-war.
Nearly seven-eighths of all the
money spent on the new Navy
program will go in wages to labor:
and almost every section of the ma
ton will benefit by the flow Of
money thus set in motion.
We hope the shipbuilding pro-
gram and the rest of the Fedora
public works program gets under
way quickly.

A TONIC Laxative

CONSTIPATION, with the annoy
Ing symptoms that usually coma
with it, cuts down organic forca
and disturbs normal health and
w%ell-being. A thorough cleansing
of the digestive tract is of great
assistance in the removal of sick
ening constipation symptoms.
y When excessive accumulated
waste matter disturbs and strains
the muscles of the large intestines,
rendering them temporarily un-
able to perform their wavelike
evacuating movements, Thedford's
Black-Draught is useful in stimu-
lating them to activity, which,
again started, should continue
regularly until some future dis
turbance interferes. In this way,
Thedford's Black-Draught is one
of the TONIC laxatives, tending,
as it does, to establish a regular
habit of evacuation.

AMBITION Serge had

AMBITION -. Serge had it
When l hear farmers talking a
if they were all headed for tn,
poor house l think of my neighbor
Serge Katorsky. Serge came ovel
from Russia just before the war
because he had five children ane
wanted to give them a chance. Hi
had about three hundred dollars t.
start with.
He bought a couple of hundred
acres of cheap mountain land a,
bout five miles from my farm, anc
started to work. He repaired the
tumbled-down old house, and ii
these twenty years has SO improved
it that it is the most comfortable
farmhouse | have ever seen. There
are eleven children now, seven Of
them through high school, two
through college, three of the girl,
finishing up in the State Norma
School. And what marks those
Ktaorsky kids do get in school.
Serge started with some scrub
cows but has bred up his dairy
herd until it's one of the best ir
the district. They grow or raise
practically all they eat, and they
certainly live we'll.
Serge Katorsky had the two es-
sentials for successful living, in
dustry and ambition. With those

One American got into trouble
in Java with a light cream-colored
car. White and cream are mourn
ing colors in the Dutch East In

in China, for the same reason.
You don't want to take a green
car to either England or India. In
England there is a popular super
stition that green is an unlucky
color. Books and plays have been
written about girls who wore

FRIDAY JULY FL, 1888
WHY NOT 10 SAILS
BURY

One way in which the people of
Rowan county can aid the fight
on the depression is to start driv
ing nails. By that we mean max
ing repairs to neglected buildings,
erecting new structures where
they are needed, and putting in
shape things which have been al
lowed to run down since the de-
preston started.
Over in Charlotte they have
just completed a re%novizing cam
Paign, with the people of that city
agreeing to spend more than half
a million dollars in this work. If
the campaign had not been con-
Quoted, probably very little of this
money for repairs. would have
been spent. This fact leads us
to suggest that a re%novizing cam
paign be conducted in Salisbury
and Rowan county. .
In an editorial concerning re-
novizing campaigns, the Saturday
Evening Post says: when a city
or a town makes a united effort
to improve the local employment
and business situation, it also builds
up its own confidence. There is
less uncertainty and apathy when
everybody pitches in to stimulate
work of such a useful kind. 1t IS
nothing but good local business.
But its greatest benefit will come
when it is adopted by practically
all the cities and own in the
country. The slogan of the reno
VIE movement is a simple one, but
for that very reason it is capable
{ Of having a ~far1reaching effect.
The slogan is: "If a man drives a
nail he helps business"
There is another good slogan,
too, and that is: Employment
and investment are cheaper than
charity One of the main pur-
poses of renovizing campaigns is
to provide the unemployed with
productive work-as distinct from
work which is not necessary and is
given more or less as charity. Dur
ing the past three years millions
of structures-hotels, warehouses,
business building and residences
have been allowed to run down.
Their owners have taken the at
titude that economy came first
that they would spend as little as
possible until they could see what
was coming. To permit them to
go on longer without repairs is the
most prodigal kind of luxury. True
economy is to protect the invest
ment they represent by making
Improvements and repairs now
when they can be had at rock-boe
tom prices.
It's time to start driving nails.

The hired man fell asleep on a

STEAM inexpensive


Driving through a Northern in
dustrial city with an engineer
friend | saw a curious piece of con-
%struction under way. 1t looked
Just as if a huge steam engine were
being built out of doors.
THAT'S just what it is" nv
friend told me. "That's the newest
idea in large steam plants for gen.
Grating electric power. What sense
is there in putting up an expensive
building just to house a steam en-
CINE? It's cheaper to protect the
equipment with asbestos, against
cold weather, and put\just enough
of a roof over it to keep the snow
off. Then, when you have to en-
large the plant, you don't have to
tear out a heavy brick wall and
build an expensive extension. Be-
