THE OLD-TIME VIRTUES

The world moves on and changes which is Of
course in the natural order of things, for as the
poet says, '"Time makes ancient good uncouth'
but the trouble is now that people alike Of high
degree and humble station are all too indifferent
to anything but individual gain regardless and
along with it, pleasure and sef-indulgence, at the
slightest opportunity and consequently tend more
and more to relegate all that is old as useless, the
virtues along with the outgrown customs. And
herein lies danger.
There are virtues that our fathers held which
dare not discard lest we undermine the very
foundations of the social order, built up through
the ages 1t is we'll to stop at times and consider
what our absorption in the ''whirl Of the world
another term for the machine age" is leading lis
to.
Speaking along this line the other day at high
school alumni banquet, John A. Livingstone, mar
shall and librarian of the North Carolina supreme
court, and one of the ablest newspaper men in the
state, remarked that cts not more laws that are
needed to insure safety on the highways, but a
changed attitude toward the Golden Rule, and he
went on to say further, chat the machine age
brought about indifference to virtues that expert
ence proved necessary for the maintenance of civ
iized institutions and the big challenge today is to
become aroused to the necessity of loyalty to these
virtues.-Lenoir News-Topic.

mANEUvERING FOR LIQUOR

There appears to be an underlying reason lor
the prolonged session of the General Assembly,
o1iouorb bloc determined to enact the Hill bill in
some form before adjournment We cannot recaii
session of the General Assembly where there mas
been so much reversing of votes. People OF the
state are concluding that the budget is oelng
through out of balance purposely to force the Hill
louor control bill because of the revenue 1T Will
produce.
When the Hill bill was about to come to vote,
a po revealed that it was destined to defeat by a
small margin Rather than see it meet defeat, IL
was referred to the Appropriation Committee and
there rested until the money bills were thrown out
of balance by continuous switching and reversing.
Now the Hill bill has been modified to set up liquor
stores in North Carolina towns that voted wet m
the 1882 referendum. Liquor advocates are detec-
mined not to let the General Assembly adjourn
without some compromise legislation which will
serve as an entering wedge toward wet state
Mr. Hill estimated that if the entire state were
wet So million dollars worth of liquor would be
sold 1t would cost three millions to operate the
stores and produce three millions revenue. Thus,
thirty millions would be sent out of the state toS
liquor made elsewhere. No wonder the brewers are
anxious to get foothold in North Carolina. Is It
any wonder that they have lobbyists down in Ra-
leigh? A thirty million dollar business is at stake
If the brewers can't capture the entire state as an
outlet for their wares they would be happy to win
ten million dollar business by legalizing the sale
in the counties that voted wet in 1932.-Cleveland

VIGILANTES

Cleveland seems to be suffering from an acute
attack of hoodlum trouble. Numerous shop win
dows have been smashed and there have been many
threats of more destruction. To protect their prop
erty against these vandals, the citizens in some
parts of the city have organized bands of vigi~
lantes.
One of the rackets being worked which the citi-
zens are up in arms against, is the so-called pro-
tectiye association. The shop owner is invited, or
dered in fact, to join. The alternative is having
his shop wrecked unless he pays the price demand
ed This is the racket which proved so lucrative
for the underworld element in Chicago prior to the
time Al Capone received his 11-year federal ap-
pointment.
1t ought not be necessary for the citizens of a
community to carry for protection. 1t is the
duty of the police to protect property and provide
safety for the residents. When hoodlumism becomes
rampant, something is seriously wrong
Consistent, fearless law enforcement is all that
| is needed to break up such fragrant types of rae.

Gigantic Liquor
Outfit Is Seized

Probably the largest liquor dis
tillery plant ever located in this
section was destroyed in Cooper's
Gap, Polk county, early Tuesday
morning by Revenue Officers
John D. Norton, Hoy Reece. w. P.
Lance and R. 81 Bolt, it was
learned here today.
The plant was capable of turn
ing out IS to 100 gallons Of whis-
ky daily. The copper still had a
capacity of $50 gallons and the
plant had facilities for making
1000 gallons of beer at a time.
There were 70 mash boxes, each
approximately 80 by 80 by "a
inches.
This large still was operated
under a shed, similar to saw
mill and power was supplied by a
16-horse-power boiler. This boil
er was dynamited and the mash
boxes and still were burned. No
arrests were made, but officers
said that they have evidence
against one person.

cotton fell Isl cents a pound
while the price of cloth made from
pound of cotton fell only .89
cents.
The problem, officials agree, is
a difficult one. 1t involves in one
way more than 1000 cotton man
ufacturing plants employing i
quarter million persons and on the
other hand 100000 farm fami-
lies producing cotton.
The slump in exports of raw
cotton is worrying the producer.
The United States shipped only
5,046,000 bales in the IL months
ending March 1, 1885, as COM
pared with 8,442,OOO in the pre-
vious year. Estimates indicate g.
100000 fewer bales were export
ed in the first eight months of this
season which dates back to Aug.
! 1884, than in the same period last
year.
This is due, some officials said.
to the higher price of domestic
cotton as compared with world
quotations. The U. S. Chamber of
Commerce in a report on 1884
trade trends said the reduced cot
ton exports care attributable to
the artifcially higher prices for
America, relative to foreign cot
ton, increased foreign mill con-
sumption of large stocks of Amer
lean cotton bought at lower prices
and considerable substitution of
foreign growths.
The department of agriculture,
on the other hand, maintains the
shrinkage is traceable to short
age of dollar exchange. This the
DRY conflicts with the Chamber of
Commences observations that ex-
ports as whole continued the i'm
provement which began in 1888.
In either event Wallace is stand
ing firm against abolition of the
processing tax. The President has
taken similar position, inform
ing compliments that if this levy
is abolished some other scheme Of
obtaining money to finance the
hAA crop reduction program must
De supplied. There appears to be
no disposition to permit cotton to
iiflo It's own price level again.

COTTON CRISIS HELD

good exports to South American
countries dropped from 66,207,-

Exports of the same goods 10
Central America dropped from
! 44,382,00O to 33,499,000 yards in
the past year. The departments
report acknowledged that the
drop was due mainly to competi-
ton from low priced Japanese
products.
/ The cotton industrialists trace
! this loss directly to the AAA pro-
cessing tax of Az a pound on raw
cotton. They argue their point IN
this way: the tax and the NRA
code provisions regarding hours
and wages have sharply increased
production costs. The added
charges can and are passed on to
the domestic consumer in the
highre cost of overalls, sheets,
work shirts, etc. But the situation
changes when their products leave
American shores to compete in
foreign markets. Here they find
the Japanese able to deliver at a
merchants door goods cheaper
than they actually can be manu-
featured in the United States.
Meantime. they assert, the do
nestle consumer is baking at the
higher prices. He is buying less.
With foreign markets gone and
the domestic market shrinking,
mills began to close weeks ago
and the process is continuing to-
day.
The AAA had collected $780,
447, 1872 as of March l, 1885, in
cotton processing taxes. 1t paid
out to cotton farmers who COOP
Grated in crop reduction proposals
a total of 1921, 1S2,63S. The pay
ments had the effect of keeping
the price of raw cotton in the
United States at IL cents a pound.
Thus, Secretary of Agriculture
Henry A. Wallace, who refuses
even to consider abolition of the
processing tax, argues that it is
| the prop under the entire New
Deal program to rehabilitate the
cotton farmer. He points out that
lin 1882 when there was no pro-
cessing tax the price of cotton av-
eraged 5.S cents pound and that
1884 cotton goods industry corpo-
rations showed a net deficit Of
about $53,O00,000 on their years
operations. This proves, he ar
CUES, that the low prices received
by farmers for cotton did not then
result in prosperity for the textile
industry.
Subsequently in 1888 when the
farm price of cotton averaged 81
cents per pound and a processing
tax was in effect, cotton mill con-
sumption increased "a per cent
and cotton textile mills made a
substantial profit.
Wallace strikes back at asser-
tons that the processing tax is re
sponsible for improbable plant
operations by showing that mill
margins on II constructions OF
cloth averaged 1895 cents for the
crop year 1933-34 and 1887 cents
for the first seven months of the
current season. While the average
mill margin fell to 1913 cents IN
