Letters From The People Editor of The Times-Recordir: !Since you were kind enough to print) letter, I am asking for space suffi-1 cient for a second one. In this com-I munication I shall endeavor to tell; your readers something of the pros-J p’erous conditions now prevailing in i Rockingham county, North Caro-J lina. and the causes for this highly desirable condition of affairs. In doing this, however, 1 shall not be actuated by a desire to boost the county of my birth but rather by a desire to help the people of the county of my adoption. . Rockingham countyf when I left it 12 yeats ago, was in jnuch the same condition Sumter county, is in today. Farmers were still practic ing the one crop system and most of them were greatly overcropping themselves. Tobacco , instead of cotton, was their staple commodity and they grew this almost *o the exclusion of all else. Each indivi dual farmer tried to plant enough of the weed to exchange for cash l sufficient to meet bis needs. Con- ) sequently the lower tobacco got the more he planted. And while I this method enriched tobacco manu facturers, it only made tobacco growers poorer. Eventually a farmer here and there began to see evil of his way and to set about correcting it. He planted less and cultivated more. Furthermore, he began to diversify and to grow more of the things he needed for his table. This practice spread, it became general. Inten sive farming is generally followed in Rockingham county today. It is doubtful if as much land is being cultivated now as was clutivated 15 years ago. The total production is greater, however, and it is prob able that the acre production of both corn and tobacco is 76 percent greater. The farmer who now over crops himself is a rarity and is looked upon as a lackwit by his more sensible neighbors. But despite their modern prac tices, not all the credit for the coun ty’s prosperity is due the farmers. Much of it is due to the business men of the towns in the county. These have bestirred themselves in bringing in manufacturing indus tries until t'ayre is around 20,000 persons in county de fendant upon such industries for a livelihood. These 20,000 person must eat and they buy much of what they eat from the farmers round about them. The manufacturing industries have therefore been of great benefit to the farmers. Nor have they denuded the farms of labor. Some farmers, of course, have left for the factories and mills, but a sufficient number is still on the farms to produce whatever crops are needed. The factories have taken many tenant farniers who year after year- moved from qne farm to another, and other farmers are bettered by not having to com pete with this shiftless element. The good farmers, those who own land and those who desire to own land are sticking to the soil. Moreover, they find that agricultural condi tions are improving each year. The big land owner is the only one who has been hard hit by the industrialization of the county and iby the intensification of farming methods, hnd he is a citizen who can well be spared. Too often he has stood in the way of progress, anyway. The big farms in Rock ingham county are being cut up and sold to those who wish a home of their own. When cut up these farms produce much more than ever before, increase in taxable values, and are worked by a better class of citizens, citizens who are interest <1 in schools, churches and roads. Rockingham county has a uniform system of taxation. Land is as sessed for taxation at its actual value, having in mind its location and fertility. The county is now collecting taxes on propertty assess ed at approximately $43,000,000. Much of this, obviously, is assessed against values other than agricul tural. The county is spending this year and next close to a million dollars for permanent school build ings. At the end of next year no section of the county but will be in easy reach of an accredited high school. And connecting this system of high schools are roads that never get muddy. The children will be conveyed to school on trucks. The county now has about twentty big trucks and will buy others. All these improvements have taken place within a decade. Better farming methods, more farms but smaller farms, and more manufacturing in dustlies have turned the trick. W. W. WILSON TIFT VOTERS GO HO POLLS IN PRIMARY TIFTON, Ga., Feb. 12.

He has victoriously stood off the inroads of revolution and disruption, but care and disillusion have been conquering him. | He is a tired man, grown gray be fore his time; a tired man waiting for the time to come When h* can turn over his work to younger and stronger hands. I found him here, in those last days of the late revolution, when Adolpho de la Huerta was preparing to pack up his rebels and move from Vera Cruz. For three days he had not left his train. For hours at a time he would pace the observation car platform, only to rush into another section of the train for a conference. There seemed to be an endless round ol conferences —conferences that wi.l determine the fates of some 15,090,- 000 people. It is an easy guess that the name of Pietro Laurens was often men tioned at these. For Pietro Laurens was the man behind the recent revo lution—ra name to remember, for it will come out of Mexico many times in the future. Laurens is mayor ol the City of Mexico. ' He would be a strong contender for the, presidency, but he is too. young. So he chose to make him selfathc power behind the throne, if possible. He could mot drive Obre gon, so he sought a tool for his am bitious schemes. Thus thejate re volt, and thus Adolpho de la Huerta, who knew his chances as a candidate would be slim and took to arms. But, to Obregon, this uprising was but a drop in an already bitter cuq* An idealist, a builder of dreams, Ob regon found himself facing hard facts, and primed himself to face them. He had been elected to office by a party comprising radicals of many opinions, and there was much dis satisfaction among the extreme left wing because communism was not espoused. Laurens was leader of the radicals —and so the inevitable clash. Generals of the federal forces, who fancied they might gain person al advantages from a successful re volt, were taken into the conspiracy. Os abstract loyalty, the average Mexican has no conception. The soldier is loyal to his imme diate superior-—pot to his govern ment; a government that to him is but a thing of words. Add to that, a supreme desire to I be on the winning side, and you have J a perfect condition, for a rebellion, [should the heads oft the army prove j disloyal to the government. | But a tired man—a disillusioned I man—a man who hoped to do great thing's for his people—has had new lines of care graven on his. face; has had years , added to his age ; is only waiting the time, when he can turnover his work to younger and stronger hands. » FIERY, ITCHY SKIN I QUICKLY SOOTHED BY THIS SULPHUR Mentho-Stilphur, a pleasant cream, will soothe and heal skin that is irri tated or broken out with eczema; that is covered with ugly rash or pimples, or is rough or dry.
