Raskob and Whiskyt ????.

Says Mr. Raskob to the Democratic Party:

"Let me hand you some of the most wonderful

whisky that ever drove the skeleton from the feastof painted landsca|K*s in the brain of man;

"It is the mingled soul of wheat and corn;

"In it you will find the sunshine and shadow- that

chased each other over billowy field, the" breath of

June; the carol of the lark, the dew of the night, the

wealth of summer and autumn s rich content, all

golden with imprisoned light.

"Drink it, and you will hear the voice of men and

maidens sing in the "Harvest Home," mingled withthe laughter of children;

' "Drink it, and you will feel within your blood thestarred dawns, the dreamy, tawny dusks of perfectiSy't**'

"Since Volstead and the new constitution, it hasbeen confined within staves of oak, longing to touchthe lips of man."

Says the Democratic Party to Mr. Raskob:

"keep your wonderful whisky, the greatest cursethat ever brought a skeleton in the closet or paintedscenes of lust and bloodshed in the brain of man;

"It the ghost of wheat and corn, crazed by the lossof their natural bodies;

"In it you will find a transient sunshine chased byshadows as cold as an Arctic midnight, in which thebreath of June grows icy and the carol of the larkgives place to the foreboding of the raven;

"Drink it and you will have woe, sorrow, babbling

and wounds without cause;

"Your eyes shall behold strange women and yourheart shall utter perverse things; ? ' 't

"Drink deep and you shall hear the shrieking-

voices of demons, women wailing and all orphanedchildren mourning the loss of a father who yet lives;

"Drink it deep and long serpents will hiss in yourears, coil themselves about your neck and seize youWith their fangs;

"At last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth likean adder.

"For years this liquid death has been outlawed.If you put it in your mouth it will Steal your brains.We are the friends of the people."

Mr. Raskob's platform came from a letter by Robt.G. Ingersoll. That of the Democratic Party camefrom a letter by Dr. Jas. M. Buckley.

TURSDAY AND miBAY

Weathering the Storm

Out of all the welter and confusion of bank fail-ures during the year just closed the remarkable fact

emerges that not a single building and loan associa-

tion failed in North Carolina. This is a great record

and speaks for itself. The building and loan associ-ations have been cramped of course because peopledid not put as much in them as in good years, and a

good many people got in a tight place and had to

draw out their savings. For this reason the associa-

tions have not beer able to lend as much money forbuilding as they have lent.

A great deal of money has been put tin postal sav-ings and government bonds. If even half of thismoney had been put in building and loan stock it

would have been a fine thing. There are lots of peo-ple who would like to build homes but they cannot

borrow the money. If they could get the money,folks would build and this would give work to labor-ers, carpenters, bricklayers, painters, plumbers andeverybody that helps to build a house. Building

would increase the demand for lumber and' brick andthis would start up the saw mills and brickyards,thus giving many more people employment. Nothing

would help more to do away with the depression thana big revival of building all over the county and in

this desirable revival the building and loan associa-tions can play a tremendous part.? Beaufort News.

We Know a Merchant

We know a merchant here who has an abundanceof faith in the future, a firm belief that this sectionis on the verge of staging a "come-back," and anabiding confidence in his friends and fellow citizens.

We know another merchant who has no faith in thefuture?but then, he never has, in good times or bad.

He doesn't have a firm belief that this section or the

nation is on the verge of staging a "come-back." Galland brimstone are more to his liking as fetishes. He

has no abiding confidence in his friends and fellow

citizens. Wre suspect that once upon a time one of hispatrons must have left town owing him $1.98, andfailed to come back.

We like the goods of the first merchant. His clothhas the appearance of being all wool and a yard wide.

The feel of his wares is solid.? Edenton Daily News.

War Between Money and Men

Wars have existed throughout the ages. There

have been many kinds of wars, even the War of Rose#.Vet, no history records a war more cruel and unjustthan the one we are now having?the war betweenmoney and men. It is true that cities have been be-

seiged in former times and their inhabitants starvedinto submission and forced to surrender.

Now our business organizations have grown so

powerful and have exerted so great an influence upon

the country that the people are on actual starvation.The money and influence of all the people have been

grabbed by a few organized gangs of manipulators.And now the few have complete contral of virtuallyeverything in the entire country, while the masses are

groping in poverty and slavery.The battle seems to be near the breaking point,

and the question is, will the people continue the fight'for their liberties and equality or will they sell them-

selves* out and their future opportunities for a messof pottage, see their liberties vanish and suffer therule of the money gods as in the "days of Egyptianbondage? The war is raging. Money has fixed theprice of all products and the voice of the people hasno influence over the fruits of their labor. Naturalresources have been gobbled up by big combinations,and the time will no doubt soon come when manwill not be permitted to breathe the free air if in sodoing it happens to interfere withe operations of theradio trust. >*.

Our government has passed tqo much of its powerover to big business. It has lost its power over thecirculating medium, and the bankers' trust is fastdestroying the liberties of the people.
