THE GERMAN FINANCIERS
WORKING AMERICA HARD
They Have Been Buying Heanlv Our
Raw Materials and ravine ua
Worthies Gcratan Marks
ENORMOUSLY LARGE CREDITS
ARE THUS BEING ESTABLISHED
Federal Authorities Cannot Tell the
Exact Amount Oermana Have Ac
quired Through This Method
(From Mount Airy News.)
The American sold it r was too much
for the German, but the German fi
nancier is too much for our folks
who love the dollar so well that they
are willing to speculate. It is now
ccming to light that Germany has
been buying raw material, such as
cotton, copper, wheat, corn and such
other food products as this country
furnishes, in such large quantities as
to astonish the world. Last year her
purchases of raw material amounted
to more than thirty millions of dol
lars. And the purchases so far this
year show that they are buying more
this year than they did last.
"As German trade operations in
the United States have been steadily
increasing during the past two years,
wonder has grown as to the source
of such vast purchasing power. The
secret is out German revenue for
buying purcases in this country is
derived from the sale of many bil
lions of practically worthless German
paper marks. By that process enor
mously large gold credits have been
established, and it is against these
that Germany is being able to draw
for commodity purchases.
"Federal authorities in Washington
declare it is impossible to state the
exact amount the Germans have thus
acauired. It is said to total not less
than $900,000,000 and may reach as
high as $1,500,000,000. .Manilestiy
there was enough available in Amer
ica in 1921 to finance purchases that
were not far from $400,000,000. Pro
fessor Cassell, a distinguished Swed
ish economist participating in the
Genoa Conference, stated on April 14
that the sale abroad of German paper
marks and mark securities 'is the
greatest swindle in history.'
"As far as the United States is
concerned, German gold credits from
sales of 'waste paper' currency have
been built up by two classes of peo
ple. One class consists of sheer spec
ulators, who think gambling in marks
is a profitable adventure. They have
riled up in safes and vaults the big
gest stacks of 'stage money that
has been accumulated in this country
since the Confederate States went out
of the currency-printing business.
The other class, which has contributed
o prodigally toward establishing a
German credit balance in American
tanks, is made up of German sympa
thizers, mainly the hyphenates of pre
war and war days, who from a sense
of patriotism have rushed to the aid
of the 'fatherland.'
"It is well known that during the
past two years everybody in Amer
ica who had an acquaintance, a friend,
a relative or a correspondent in Ger
many has been badgered to send over
American dollars in exchange for Ber
lin's paper money. It would be rep
resented that Germany was 'coming
back' fast; that the sinking mark
was sure sooner or later to reach
bottom, and that then the direction
would be upward."
Not only are the liermam able to
sell our people their worthless money
but they are selling their cheap
(roods at such low prices as to cause
our own people to be thrown out of
employment by the thousand, for our
manufacturers are not able to com
pete with them in the markets of
the world. They pay their laborers
a pittance that will keep life in the
body and thus undersell our man
ufacturers. "Numerous American industries are
feeling German competition severely.
It is reported in Washington that the
great glove trade in central New
York State is virtually 'paralyzed by
the invasion of cheap-priced German
leather and cotton gloves, with which
it it out of the question for Ameri
can manufacturers to compete. Many
factories are said to have shut down
directly on that account.
"American cutlery manufacturers
are in a state of anxiety over the
'dumping' of German knives, razors
and scissors in quantities and at
prices that it is absurd for American
factories and American labor to try
to meet. Germany before the war
always had a big cutlery market in
the United States. Not only, how
ever, are her total sales here today
greater in dollars than in 1913-14,
out owing to ridiculously low prices
she is now 'dumping' ten, twenty and
thirty times the amount of actual
cutlery wares into American markets.
It is being bought with validity be
cause of the irresistibly cheap cost,
quality considered. An instance is a
clever little pocket safety razor kit,
which is laid down in the United
States from Germany, after payment
of carriage, tariff and commissions,
at a lower price per dozen than it
costa to manufacture a single one of
the same kind of kits in this country-
That instance can be multiplied
in 100 other categories of small
goods such as gloves, hosiery, toysr,
earthenware and motion picture films.
There also has been p.n enormous
increase in the sale of German news
print p'iper. In the last year be
fore the war only $76,000 worth of
that commodity came from Germany.
In 1921 imports were $3,611,000."

VISITS HISTORIC GROUND
AND GIVES DESCRIPTION
"The Monument" ia Lancaster Coun
ty, S. C, was Erected U Memory
of Brave Amereicaa Soldiers
By Novus Homo
About fifteen miles southeast from
Waxhaw. and some twenty miles
south of Monroe, on the old Rocky
River Road, at a point where said
road crosses the Chesterfield and
Lancaster road ten miles cast of Lan
caster is an historic spot known as
"The Monument.
Some forty years ago the writer
attended school in one of the angles
of this cross roads in a little hut,
which was made of logs and which
was the only building in sight. Mr.
R. P. Whitmore was our teacher, and
a good one he was always on hand
to see that things went according to
his understanding of how they shou'd
go' among the boys and girls oi his
charge while on the school grounds.
Our "desks" were made of slabs
from somebody's sawmill. There were
two ho.es bored near each end of the
slabs and long pegs inserted from
the bark side that served as legs for
"the benches." We had also a writ
ing desk at the rear end of the build
ing, which was made of one broad
nlank restinir on pecs inserted in
holes bored in one lo gof the build
ing. For light, we took otT a plank
that left an opening between the logs
just above the desk.
1 here were no heids in sight oi tnis
place at that time and a dense forest
inhabited by wild hogs, wild turkeys,
with plenty of rabbits, squirrels,
foxes and everything else, including
the bik'trest snakes we ever saw out
side of a carnival, were in evidence.
But we started out to say something
about the monument, so will try to
get back to the subject.
By the roadside just below the
crossing there is a marble shaft ten
feet high and two feet square at the
base. It commemorates the dastardly
behaviour of the British Colonel,
Tarleton, who on May 29th, 1780, at
this place either killed or wounded al
most the entire company of Colonel
Abraham Buford, alter the latter had
surrendered.
A space some ten by twenty-five
feet is enclosed with flint stones
around this monument, and eighty
four bodies of the Revolutionary sol
diers rest within.
The following inscription on the
shaft explains the object of its erec
tion: "Lrected to the memory and
in honor of the brave and patriotic
American soldiers who fell in the bat
tle which occurred at this place on
the 29th day of May. 1780. between
Colonel Abraham Buford, who com
manded a regiment of 350 Virginians,
and Colonel Tarleton of the British
army, with 350 cavalry and a like
number of infantry. Nearly the en
tire command of Colonel Buford were
either killed or wounded, and 84 gal
lant soldiers were buried in this grave.
They left their homes for the relief of
Charleston, but hearing at Camden of
the surrender of that city were re
turning. Here their lives were ended
in the service of their country. The
cruelty and the barbarous massacre
committed on this occasion by Tarle
ton and his command after the sur
render of Colonel Buford and his men
originated the American cry, 'Remem
ber Tarleton.'"
A British historian confesses of
this battle that "the virtue of human
ity was totally forgotten."
This battle ground is in Lancaster
county, but But'ord township in Union
county, was named for Colonel Bu
ford. Some years ago a noted orator and
educational worker for the whites,
was delivering a lecture before an
audience of the colered brethren, on
the x-ray. He made the matter so
impressive as to the ability of the
newly discovered device .to penetrate
and search out the inward substances
that might be hidden in the human
anatomy that at the close of the lec-
ture one old colored brother came u
."5
to the speaker and said, "
wants to ask you a question."
"Alright, Sandy, what is it? said
the lecturer.
"It's like dis, mister, from what
you says erbout dat 'ray' chine, it
seems nothin' 'gwine 'scape it; what
I wants to know is, if Is et chicken
for dinner, can you take dat 'chine
and see chicken?"
"Oh, yes, certainly Sandy, but why
do you ask?" said the lecturer.
"Well, boss, I wants to know dis,
now, can you tell wid dat 'chine
where dat chicken come frum?"
To the Voters of Buford Township
We, the voters of Buford township,
wishing to take some part in our
county's interest, and promoting her
interest not only in Buford township
but to the county and State as well,
and realizing that if there is any
branch of the government which
should be judiciously handled it is
the building up of our roads. Taking
into consideration this question we
wish to place before the voters of
Buford township our friend and neigh
bor, G. V. Rape for road elector of
Buford township. Realizing that he
lives in the center of the township
and can be reached by all parties
wishing to confer with him on any
matter, and also make it possible for
him to look after and keep in touch
with, the situation of the roads in
Buford township. He is a mr.n of the
very h'ghest character and would, in
our opinion, give to the ponvion, if
elected, a fair hearing on r.ny ques
tion presented to the i5nc-l A
lion pertaining to the roada of Untan
county, and would at the s.e.ic time
be faithful and loyal to his obli8".t:on
