Chinese Stock Bubble




Rumors of a Chinese Government crackdown on speculative trading with borrowed money have led to a meltdown of the Chinese markets. Chinese plans to raise interest rates and curb inflation have also sent the shock waves of this dip into the rest of the world markets. While western markets did not lose as much as the Chinese markets, the crash is still affecting major world indices.

JUDGE WOULD MAKE SOME ROBBERIES CAPITAL OFFENSE


McIntyre Makes This Comment Sentencing 24 Men to 200 Years. Twenty-four prisoners were sentenced today by Judges Mclntyro, in General Sessions, to an aggregate of 200 years for felonies. "Jesse James was a piker compared to some of those men operating in this town," said JUDGE McIntyre as he sentenced Thomas Lowry, nineteen, twenty years for holding up Herman Jacobs in a restaurant. "Your friends must think the courts are crazy to be lenient with you. The Legislature might do well to make robbery in the first degree a capital offense. We need something like that today. If I had my way, I'd send every highwny robber to tho electricchair, or, ut least, to prison for fiftyyears." Said the Judge.

Pauli Ryman Pleases Audience With Beautiful Recital


Mr. Paul Ryman gave an hour of genuine enjoyment last night at the Gear City Hall. Mr. Benjamin H. Nixon presented the song recital. Mr. Ryman has a voice of beautiful quality, and wide range, and also sings with intelligence and discriminating interpretation that made every number a pleasure. His voice has the richness and strength of a dramatic tenor, with the clear sweetness inf ts upper register more suggestive of a lyric voice. His opening number Celeste Aida, that song ever dear to tenors, was well received and displayed much of the finest qualities of his voice, and his following group of old songs was very charming. But all of his modern songs were especially beautiful, and nothing could have been lovelier than each of the three pieces in his second group.

CHARLEY DAKROTT VICTIM OF HEART ATTACK


CEO of Dakrott dead from a stress-related heart attack.


About midnight last night, the wife of Charley Dakrott, CEO of Dakrott Automobile Manufacturing Company, realized her husband was dead. Charley Dakrott was the last of the old school of whispering CEOs. He abhorred the direction government was forcing auto manufacturers, and for years, had been one of the behind-the-scenes directors of the Automobile Lobbying Association. He was a believer in the principle that consumers should have an automobile that they can afford and that the government should get out of the way of that pursuit. His company was running well, but some suggest major strife inside the company, as major players continued to eat away at his market share. Doctors suggest that the stress of running a car company may have caused the heart attack that killed him.

Are You a Farmer?


When a merchant fixes a price for his wares which allows him a profit above the cost, and then holds his goods on his shelves until somebody comes along and pays that price, we call that "good business." And we generally approve of that, but let a group of farmers do the same thing, it's pure speculation and hoarding, and everybody, from the man who parches peanuts to the banker and up, denounces him. The merchant who takes steps to get a fair price is a good, estimable citizen. The farmer who uses the best resources at his command, who tries to protect his wife and children and assure them a decent living, is a "vicious hoarder," a "profiteer," and maybe a "Bolshevik." Farmers, aren't you sick and tired of this silly stuff that the "knocker" is handing you. I hear something each day in Edgefield about the "organization" of farmers.
