DON’T LET IT DRAG
There is a p;etty genentl convic
tion on tfie part of nearly every one.
apparently, that the First National
Bank is going to reopen We thank
so too But somebody has got to do
a good deal of work before that can
be done. Much hard work is already
being earned on, but this Is no time J
to slump luto a rftate of contentment
with the passing of the buck and the
assumption of the attitude of lotting
George do it. There are a great many
Georges in this task, and every one
of them has bis share of the reapon
aibitty.
Everywhere there is a feeling that
bhe depositors will lend their coopera
tion and will sign their willingness to
leave their money iu the reorganized
bank. But tile fact is that a good
many of them have done nothing in
that direction as yet. If they are go
ing to do it, and wc are confident they
will do It. why wait? Why not go
to the bank and sign the agreement,
or mail it in. and do It at once? May
15 is the zeio hour fixed for the con
summation of this program, and it
can and should be done by then. But
If a lot of people assume an indiffer
ent attitude, an extension of time may
be necessary, to the further delay in
the success of the movement, and pos
sibly to its faiiuie in the end.
It is assumed that the stockholders
are straining their every resource to
comply with their part of the agree
ment It is greatly to their advantage
to fall In line, and undoubtedly they
will go to the utmost.
This is not sa>d as an intimation in
the lightest that the bank committee
is lacking in cooperation by patrons.
The thought in mind is merely that
those who aie going to cooperate,
which we believe means every one.
bhould do it without further delay.
Every depositor and every stockholder
who has nol already done what is ask
ed of ham or her. should make a bus
iress to do it before a single addi
tional day is gone. The sooner the
signatures are obtained Che sooner the
bank can open, and the better it will
be for every one.
WHAT THEY STANII FOR
Evrr so often the Dally Duspwtch
hears, fiom sum.’ humble voter that he
would like very much, before he goes
to the polls on primary day, to know
for a certainty what those candidates
stand sot who arc asking for the suff
rage of the people in their aspirations
to hold public office In all instances
we have had to answer by confessing
our ignorance.
Agitation is growing in favor of the
1933 General Assembly ordering a re
valuation of property. In view of the
temper of the people, this ought to
have been done Jest year. The legisla
ture should never have meddled with
it at all If it were going to leave the
situation in a state of so much un
certainty as it really did. When the
first move was made early in the sec
tion for a delay, whatever it Intended
to do should have been definite and
poeKive then. seoHng the matter once
and for all. Instead It merely post
poned the evil day, and after one or
two more postponement* during the
long parliament, finally wound up by
leaving It optional with county com
missioners . At that tote day. Bhe time
lad already passed when the full task
should have been completed, indtead of
merely beginning for thoae counttea
that did exercise their opinion and go
ahMd. Ttiere should have been no
choice In the situation, the revalua
tion should have been ordered without
undue delays or 4t should have been
forbidden, and if the legislature in
tended to make k optional in the end
that should have been done at the
outset. Then there would not have
been so much uncertainty. But Vance
went ahead and paid the price, both In
money and in the agony that resulted,
and will not have to do the job again
until 1935, whatever the legislature may
decide.
If you ask a legislative candidate
how he irtands or. lifting the 15 cents
school tax from land, he will doubt
less tell you that there seem to be a
fairly general agreement that It should
be done. But few of them know where
the money Will come from when the
transfer is made It might be fitting
to have tlhat information.
If you ask candidates for county of
fice® what they stand for. they might
be in better position to talk: that is.
j with a greater certainty and definite
ness. All of them will tell you they
stand for economy, and so say we all.
It is an easy matter to embrace that
popular word but that is hardly
enough Possibly some suggestion
might be made as to where the prun
ing knife would be inserted. Maybe
the inquisitors could make such sug
gestions. and then again possibly they
could not.
Bux this year as perhaps never be
-1 fore the rank and file of the voters
ate curious to know what those men
stand for who are asking for the suf
frage of the electorate. Certainly
have a light to know, and the can
didate who would ask for your vote
migtht with the same grace be accom
modating enougn to answei a ques
tion or two before you pledge yourself
to him. if Chat is what you want.
FROM ACROSS THE SEAS
Forecasters in this country, headed
by no loss a dignitary than President
Hoover himself, who have for nigh on
tr Ohree years been assuring the ret*
ot us Ignoramuses that prosperity "is
just around the corner,” have long
since been laughed out of court. Like
the fabled Arabs, they folded their
trr.ls and quietly stole away. But that
piosperity really is just around that
corner we are now assured afresh,
this time by a great French news
paper in Paris. Le Temps hazards
the belief and makes the prediction
that the financial crisis in the United
States now is passing through its final
" healing phase" and America is head
ed for renewed prosperity.
Well, few of us doubt that this land
of the free and home of the brave is
“headed" for belter days. What is
worrying the most of us is the agon
izing, heart-rending present, not the
bWstrful. plentiful days yet unknown.
V. hat bodes the future for those who
shall be unable to survive the trying
times through which they are now
crawling on all-fours?
Le Temps doer not assure us that
we shall have again a period as “brili-
Liant" as that which preceded the cur
rent tribulations of business, but feels
that our bloated budget eventually will
balance and that "tihe bonus proposi
tion will be sidetracked." Moreover,
there Is this French opinion that oui
"currency will remain solid.’’
The newspaper is wise enough not
to be so foolish as those who have
risked and cracked their reputation by
undertaking to fix a date for the
pi ndulum to star. Its swing in the op
posite direction from that in which
it has been moving so long that the
excruciating economic pain has been
fell by nearty every one. Therein
i* is not uulike many others. It would
I be a strange thing if we had to loo;
scross Che seas to learn what all of us
would like to hear and to know. Yet
there can be no harm in hoping that
Le Temps is wise in its forecast and
that it may be even wij?er and tell
us more definitely Juot when and
by what method we shali feel a loos
ening of this cx topua-iike grip that
something or other has upon our eco
nomical life.

The extension of time for advertising in 1931 was granted under
a special act which does not apply in 1932. Therefore, the ad
vertising will start the first Monday in May, and the sale of pro

Please keep this in mind and pay before advertising time.
Respect fully,
J. E. HAMLETT
• J Sheriff Os Vance County. C
words actuated by honest convictions, I
I I have always had a deep suspicion.'
I they were trying to please instead of
teach the public. By ignoring the
manufacturer and producer, it is easy
to weave a fine theory favorable, on
ly, to the purchaser but since no one
can long remain a purchaser, with
out selling, both sides of the question
becomes equally important and de
mand equal consideration. It is easy
to tall the laboring masses how cheap
ly they can buy the necessaries of
life’ under reciprocity, free trade and
“Tariff for revenue only” but it is a
difficult proposition to explalp where
they are going to find gainful occu
i pation while they are making these
cheap purchases. We can not hire
foreign nations to raise our produce
and manufacture our merchandise
and still give employment to domes
tic labor. When the merchants of the
, United States fill their shelves with
foreign goods the manufacturing in
dustries of this country are as sure
to stop as a water wheel is when com
pletely covered in wa'r.r. As long as
foreign countries can under-seD do
mestic manufacturers- an J this they
can always do unless the gap is
bridged with a high oroteciive tariff
we will h.iv.: unemployment, t j res
sion and business stagnation.
I have had the privilege of obser
ving conditions under various tariff
acts namely. "The McKinley. Wilson,
Dingley, Payne-Aldrlch, Underwood.
Forney - McCumber and Hawley-
Smoot” and my observation has firm
ly convinced me that a high protec
tive tariff is as essential to pros
perity as lubrication is to bearings. It
seems like there is nothing that could
possible appeal stronger to "The IJve
at-Homc” movement than a high pro
tective tariff. Undoubtedly, every one
who has judgment enough to keep out
of the way of triffic knows he can
not continuously buy at European
prices and sell at American prices.
If the wheat growers, of the United*
States, could sell their wheat to
American millers and buy their flour
from Russia "The wolf " would never
bother their door, but it happens
when the wheat growers can buy
their flour from Russia, everybody
j can get theirs from the same source
' and the domestic millers can t handle
wheat at any price. The same is true
with labor. When labor can buy ui
European prices, the manufacturing
industries of the United States arc
idle, labor is out of employment and
can’t buy at any price, We simply can
not afford to hire foreign countrie.-;
to do anything we can do ourselves,
every time we buy a Chinese' rug a
Japanese' toy, a German razor or any
other commodity manufactured
abroad, we are boycotting American
manufacturers and American labor
and are traitors to American pros
perity by giving aid and comfort to
the enemies of our commerce and the
enemies of our flag.
If everybody would demand Ameri
can made goods, we would need no
tariff and if everybody would abide
by the golden rule wc would need no
laws, but at this writing it appears
like it will be sometime before any
considerable number of people reach
that stage of perfection. But if every
purchasing agent would demand Am
erican made goods—and have noth
ing else the stagnated pools of Am
erican industry would burst into tip
pling streams and the panics and de
pressions that have harassed this
country would bunch their duds and
and seek homage in other climes.
