I' NEEDED BANKING REFORM. The high call rate for loans in New ?*- "?!<) Ko nn offpotivP I urn l/liy 13 oaiu IV method of circumventing the Federal Reserve Act which seeks to distribute S money evenly in all sections of the country. Money is coaxed to New York on the expectation of high profits to the detriment of other sections of the country and to the undisputed detriment of legitimate industry. The result affects virtually everyone; and though persons in Dillon may think the New York call rate is something entirely foreign to their interests, they might become interested in knowing that the high rate exacted by a committee of brokers whose word is law in the banking world has much to do with the market of LibVlrt^Artf KnnHc Qq wpll a VI IJ ailU f iviui; vvmww, ? other'kinds of bonds owned here. It is time that the exercise of too great-financial power by a few men were curtailed in this country. WAGES COMING DOWN. 7he workman, the laborer, the domestic and all other classes of wageearners have shared in the "so-calleed'? prosperity of the past three years and there is not going to be much grumbling on their part when the time corneB to lower wages. When the cost of living is cut in half the wage earner will not object when th employer announces a cut of 50 pe cent, in wages. The cut in some lines will be smaller than in others. Before the war some wage earners were not getting / ' enough and others were getting too .much. The readjustment which i bound to come in a short while will bring these two closer together, an for once in the history of the work the wage earners in all lines of dustry will be on a pretty equal ba L Ho ond ever expected wages to remain so high as they are in some industries and still expect prices to take a slump to pre-war levels.. All along workmen have been advised to savt their money while they had a chance to earn beyond the average of their jobs. Some of them did so, bu: . Snust be admitted that a large pro: poriion have been spend!ug money about as fast as they got it. They were told that the best thing -to do with a cheap Aojlar was to saveas many- of them as possible for the > -days when the .dollar got dear, bu mental intoxication at the receipt o more cheap dollars than they ever dreamed oi possessing Caused reckless extravagance in buying. This in Itself was one of the main factors it ' ^forcing the price of commodities ui to higher levels. ? The brick maspn who formerly re ceived $5 for ten hours work lost] his balance when he found he could earn $12 in eight hours. The) .carpenter who imagined himself i lucky when he could earn $3 in ten hours had visions when found hisser-1 vices were in demand at $10 for eigh. hours. The wages of brick-layers and car penters and other skilled workmen may not go back to pre-war level? but there is a general trend to reduce wages in all lines, and the lav of supply and demand operates against the workmen as well as against the manufacturer and producer. , DON'T LOSE YOl'R NERVE. j In times like these a man should keep hi? poise. The slump of 22 cents a pound or over $100 a bale in the price of cotton is a jar to the nerves of the man who has much at stak? but nothing is to be gained by losing jour nerve. It is the strong man who acts with cool deliberation in critical jnoments. The late Jacob Schiff, head of th big banking house which backed th< Northern Pacific railroad venture -with millions of his own and other people's money, was at an orphanage he had founded playing with childrer when several of his associates rushed up to him and told him that strong opposing interests had cornered Northern Pacific and his giganti scheme was about to collapse. Hi? reply was, "Be calm, be calm; they can't steal the railroad," and resumed his play. He won out. There are lots of us who won' make as much as we expected !< r. ake, there are many who von't [ make anything and a few here ant! there probably who will come out in debt, but the world can't steal thh cotton crop. It is in the hands of th producer, and in order to make ends meet he may have to sell a portion of it below the cost of production, but if he breaks even in the wind-up he will not be any poorer than he was at the beginning of the year. Our advice to the man who feels blu^e and dispirited is to gather his, cotton as rapidly as possible, have it ginned and put- it in a warehouse. If yOu have pressing debts sell just just enough to ease the pressure and keep the balance. But don't get excited and lose your head. I The man who makes an honest effort to gather his crop will find men willing to back him again next year, but the man who loses his nerve ana lays down on the Job will have to do his own financing if he tries to farm again. The world loVes a fighter, even if he fights a losing fight, and this i3 a time that calls for all the fight-' mg spirit and all the reserve strength a man has. ' '< But above all, don't lose your poise. Don't lose your nerve. DRAWS $300 FIXE. / . I Colored Man Displays Pistol at Fair Grounds and Pays Heavy Fine. j A colored man with a long dangerous looking pistol ran amuck at the Fair Grounds Friday night and created some excitement among the throng ol' sight-seers until taken in charge by officers. The man was drinking, i and following an argument with a show man over some change drew a long gun and shoved it in the show man's face. An officer grabbed the negro and disarmed him. He spent the night in the lock-up and next day paid $300 into the town treasury. | There was another mix-up between' an officer and a white man in which l blows were exchanged, but no one was hurt. With the exception of these1 I incidents Fair week passed off quiet-. ly. 0 PASS FOR A SLAVE. Copy qi Pass Issued to a Slave to Visit Relatives in 1801. Lumberton Robesouian.
