We quote the above not for the purpose

debts or increasing deficits, but to call at
tention to the fact that vast sums now be-
ing collected under the social security
law are being used to cover up the dan

money collected this year will be dumped
into the governments general funds and

THE ONLY SOUND VIEW

Last Wednesday The News and Courier printed
a letter from Thomas I. Traywick, farmer, OF
Cope, South Carolina, saying that "The trouble Tin
the cotton matter) is the failure of the southern
farmer to raise on his farm food for himself and
tenants and feed for his work stock and animals
which supply his meat and milk, and his failure to
use practices and rotations which would preserve
and increase the fertility of the soil. Increased
yields would reduce labor costs. Production costs
being lower, the South would raise cotton to COM
pete in the world market. The only way we can
compete is with low priced cotton. regard all
plans as hopeless which seek to remedy the stua-
ton by tnkering with the price of cotton Ill an
artificial manner. . | am strongly opposed to any
form of compulsory control, so-called measures
with teeth in them . . The signs in this country
now point diSturbingly toward dictatorship IN some
form and degree Even if regarded production
control as the panacea of all our agricultural ills,
would oppose compulsory measures"
There spoke a practical thinker and sound
American. Mr. Traywick has said for The News
and Courier what it would say for itself.--Chares

USING OLD AGE PENSION MONEY FOR
OTHER PURPOSES

By far the heaviest single tax burden
ever imposed on the business and industry
the employers-of this country is being
levied in the guise of social security tax
alton for unemployment insurance and old
age pensions. The burden of this taxation
on business and industry is terrific. This
burden is one of the chief reasons for pres
ent unsatisfactory conditions which are ma
tion-wide, for recession of activity in manu-
featuring and other lines of business which
are unsettling the country in way that is
even more or less startling to the political
quacks and manipulatorS, not to mention
the intelligent, common-sense millions of
our population.
Facing conditions which are shaking the
national government at it's foundations, the
new deal administration is using hundreds
of millions of cash collected from employ

The few who saw HIS. play
Biltmore Friday certainly got
their moneys worth. The stu
dents who saw the game were
quite damp when the final whis-
tie was blown, but their spirits
were not. Biitmore, repeatedly
very strong, certainly slowed
down in the rain and snow
against our Bearcats. The wealth
er may have had something to do
with slowing Biltmore up, but it
couldn't stop AndcrS, Hill. MObley
or Miller. In the meantime our
own Captain Cofrcy, Dill, Mag
ness and GesSer stopped the ones
the rain didn't. We are sure that
the Bearcats have hit their stride.
This game, even without little
Bobby Quarlcs, was a REPETITION
of the previous weeks play. Our
score now stands: Ncndersonyil!e
81, opponents 70, and it looks as
if We vii lcvcn it up before the
season is over.

WASHINGTON There is q

Republican party, of which the
disbursements between eX-PrcSl-

Candidate Alfred M. Landon pre-

With the Republican National

as a means of reasSerting himself
as the party leader.
He felt that Hoover sought tc

On this subject we quote the Lemon
Ncvs-Topic. because our contemporary
speaks logically and rings the bell on this
vital trade problem. The NewS-Topic says:
"l. bordcrcd on the unusual when one Of Amer

No deal +, q good deal unless both buyer and sell

To-day this axiom is almost q commonplace eN-

manned in business for any considerable period o.
time.
For they know. these substantial local mer-
chants that it does not profit them in the end TO
drive a sharp bargain and then lose your good will
and patronage and the confidence of your friends
Located in a community such ours they cannot
depend upon transient business for any apprcca0Ie
volume of trade Their success is dependent upon
your future trade. They get that only II they
give YOU the merchandise, the service, and the
value that will induce you to buy in their stores
again and again
They cannot build a regular patronage If they
give YOU shoddy merchandise, the defects IN when
are quickly discovered when it is put into use
They cannot win your confidence If they over
charge for the service they render or the merchan-
disc they sell because they realize that sooner or
later the transaction will not be satisfactory to you
and when that time comes it will be difficult to
induce YOU to trade with them again.
For this reason, we insist, YOU can buy to great
cr advantage at home. Your local merchant must
be sure that you will be satisfied for months and
years with the commodity he has sold you II ne IS
L. retain your good will.
Think it over. friends, and then we are conf

People of HenderSonville and Hender-
son county, change the foregoing by IN
Sartiug in the proper places the names OF
your county and county town, and then
apply the NewS-TOpic's statements to your
own case. Don't forget that one OF the
certain and satisfactory ways to build up
YOUR own town and section is outlined by
the Lenoir paper; and in building up your
town and section and its business enter
prises you are strengthening and expand
ing your personal interests. Whatever you
do to build up and improve your home
town and the surrounding country will re-
act in your own interest.
By local support of home town business
community interests and the personal in
terestS of the citizen are served. We do
not advise trading at home policies solely
for community benefits or betterment. We
believe, as the LenOir paper so cOnvinc-
ingly contends, that greater satisfaction is
to be found in trading at home and that,
in the end, this course will be found the
soundest and most satisfactory for patrons
of local business as well as for local bust
ness enterprises.
