No m atter1 whether the summer apn has disappeared behind the next brick block or the Sierra Ne vada, or, has gone in glory behind the surging sky Jine that marks the pacific’s or the prairie’s verge, there is the same eternal mystery in that hustling hour of twilight and doolness. Aiter the day's glare the earth itself has become for us that great rock in a weary land which to prophet Issiah was the symbol of his king to be. In the shadowjve will rest. Now, as of old. that kindly zone of twilight bas come to us on its unceasing mission across the face of our world, a visible to those who will see, and above it shines the even ing star. Before this presence one’s thought, at least, turn home and the familiar things of life are both dear and strange. Flowers close drowsily; birds are stirring to their rest or waking to renewed life according to the kind; and every tree down the street or hill- side is rustling it countless leaves in that vesper^music of the little breezes which a man’s heart ought to be wise enough to understand. Supper smoke is abroad on those same breezes and the children are somewhat quieter. And in that hour the everlasting wonder is re newed: what have we done to de serve a world so fair, what good ness nas made it possible for us? Despite the tumult in which -we confuse our lives and the wrongs that blot usi this hour comes with its healing peace and will come throughout the years.

Don't Sell Cotton in Seed.. hat the practice of selling cotton inlthe seed is responsible for serious |0;|ses to producers in many sections, hajs been demonstrated by iuvestiga* ti(|ns by marketing specialists of the {jIii ted States Department of Agri- cujlture.

The Aatomobiie law. Statesville’s automobile speed aw was discussed by the associa ion. That the present law of ight miles an hour is little more ;han a “ farce,” by reason of the act that it is violated by practi ally every automobile driver, was admitted by all, and it was the iense of the meeting,that the law ihould be changed, except as to the business district, where traffic is heaviest. It was pointed ^ out that a human being usually walks four miles an hoar aud an ordinary horse wilptrot at the rate of eight miles an hour, while the speed .of what iB termed'a real,driving horse is from 10 to 12 miles ao hour. It wks argued, therefore; ,that .auto mobiles should not be> expected to run on such slow speed except in the business district, and it was decided to ask the city authorities to change the law bo as to allow a speed of 12 or 15 miles outside the business section, and then limit the sp^ed to the allowance of the law by a strict enforcement of the law.-^Statesville landm ark.

AeTS ON UVER UKE DYNAMITE '’Dodson’s Uier Tone” Starts Yoir Unr BeRer Tban GaloneI and Doesil ^alnato or Make Yoa Sick.____ Listen to me! Take no more sickening, salivating calomel when bilious or constipated. Don’t lose a-day’s work! Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel, when it comes into .contact with sour bile crashes into it, breaking it up. This is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. If you aTe sluggish and “all knocked out,” if your Bver is torpid and bowels constipated 'et you have headache, dizziness, coated tongue, if breath is bad or stomach, sour just take a spoonful of harmless Dod- •cn’e liver Tone on my guarantee. Here’s my guarantee—Go to 1 store and. get a 56 cent bottle 1 sou’s Liver Tone. Take a spoonful to night and if it doesn’t straighten you right up and make you feel fine and vigorous by morning I want yon to go back to'the store and get your money. Dodson’s Liver Tone is destroying the sale of calomel because it ia leal liver medicine; entirely vegetable, therefore it can not salivate or make yen sick.I guarantee that one spoonful of Dod son’s Liver Tone will, put your sluggish liver to work and clean your bowels of that sour bile and constipated weote which is clogging your system and mak ing you feel miserable. I guarantee that a bottle of-. Dodson’s Liver Tone will keep ybur entire family feeling fine for months. Give it to your .children. I t is harmless; doesri’-i gripe arid they like its pleasant taste.

Editor The Record:—Our great Presiden tial Ratification Rally and big barbecue at Lakewood Park on July the 29th, 1916, in honor of Congressman Rodenbutg and Uncle Joe Cannon set the pace for 'a bet* ter and brighter day in North Carolina. Democrats now follow suit with barbe cues galore, instead of liquor as of yore. Candidate Bickett’s “epidemic of pros perity and latest devices for shooting off p a n ic s " (patents applied for); and'Cam Morrison’s old “donkey drawing the wives of Confederate veterans with an ante* bdlum negro for a driver” are quite ludic rous indeed. How the poor downtrodden people do turn to these modern Joshuas for relief. Democratic solicitude for the Confeder ate Soldier about campaign time Is some thing pathetic. StlU they do less for the Veterans of North Carolina than any utherSouthem State. And when Presi dent Roosevelt recommended to Congress that Federal and. Confederate Soldien share alike in the general pension fund, democratic dignity was derided and South ern prejudice and pride was peeved. Now that the democrats have controlled the HOUSE for five years or more and passed llie most enormous bill forFederal Soldiers ever known (the Sherwood Bill), and Hon. E. Vates Webb and his Democratic cohorts were petitioned to INCLUDE THE CON FEDERATES IN THIS BILL AND THEIR PETITION WAS SPURNED, how can they have the face to pretend to be the friends of the Southern Soldier? And lo, Ben Tilimuii, who has at lastburied the prong- less pitchfork and wishes to grow there from an olive branch, has Si bill in soak fertile next session. How long will it soak? In harking back to the good old days gone by, do the Democrats remember how they used to cuss the Populist Pahy and then outran the Republicans in an effort tu fuse with the Populists and save the State for Bryan and Free Silver? And how this timely trick was turned on Jo sephus Daniels and other so-called lead ers of the simon-pure Democracy of North Carolina? Are their garments spotless? Are they white as snow? What right have they to criticise this record written into the political . But the D^ooratiic Jtoty^toVwriiteri' a record of its own since that Qme, and is now on trial in State and Nation. In vain they try to divert the public mind fiom that record. They are “not running on that record, but from that record.” They are “silent in words, but speak un- uustakeably in deeds.” And In Novem ber the verdict will be "Guilty’’of extrav agance, incompetence, wastefu'nfB’, high taxes and high treason to the Republic. The Democratic campaign in North Car olina has already fallen flat. General Apathy is in full command. Why, why, why? “Hush little baby, do not cry; nigger gwine to git you by and by'.” Redshirtism is dead, and none bo poor as to do it rev erence.

Story of a Typical Daoghter tf fBig Hifl Coontry. By A. W. CLINE. Twenty-five years ago a rev en v officer's life was held at a prem ia* among many Western North Cam- Iina mountaineers and few a n a representstati ve of the government ever ventured in the most extreme western_counties. The older ses tiers believed ‘‘that your dadd* and my daddy had a perfect rigfct to plant corn and make it wp iuto] mountain moonshine’ without the government receiving a share." This old belief has been drivecl away by a dawn of newer intelli-l gence arising in the minds ol the] younger generation, Today isafen and more profitable means of mak ing.a living are being employed by many of those who once mad “ moonshine liquor” for a living. The following Btory is told bj the older settlers of *he section re ferred to above: In one of ttuj counties there lived a typica daughter of the hills, conscious.o her poverty and ignorance', bu proud and loyal to her friends Her. father and brother had eacl| seryed sentences in prison fori I licit distilling, but she did not cod sider it a disgrace, rather lookd upon it in the light or unjust per] secution. The family had a cabi on the mountain with a few acre] of land suitable for cultivatioi Their Btilt was located in a cavt dug from the hillside, with an uti1 derground passage coming out b neath the cabin, closed with a tra door. Here in two rooms lm | father, mother and ten or twel children. Each child was taugi fromicfancy to distrust a straog jlQd -.to,ana w erno §uefitious »feit_ . might lead to the discovery of tlf e still. Biach one knew a Bignal give in case a Btranger was Seen a ] proaching. The girl referred to in the beg! riing of the. paragraph, being t oldest of the family, naturally w| selected to do rnoBt of the wat< ing. Many times, it is said, r saved the still from being raidj by BhoulderiQg her rifle and sta ing lguard, and her father a, brothers from arrest by giving signal which sent them u to I hiding places like rabbits. Daring a taramp through a <j tain mountain section in West] North Caroltna several years this writer saw evidence that b out the statement that moons, iug is on the decrease. In a d forest our party found the a’j doned sites of three or four s’ and at one place much- of equipment was found in a r condition. The people of the tion we visited were not of a less nature, as some think, talked freely of the fight I made on the moonshiners aii the splendid success being with. Tha natives are as i to report moonshining as tb«| the counties farther ,east. A UNIQUE RECORD Very Few Likeit in Our Broad Republic.

Ibls writer ii not a pessimist bat wo are bound to face the real conditions around as, and all the sighs indicate the decline of 'that fine quality in woman which is her crown, namely, modesty. Ofcoarse there are thousands of women just as modest and womanly aB the “ old girl6,” but there are othei thousands who are not; and it is of the other thousands whose num bers Beem to be growing apace that we are writing today. Billy Sun day preached a sermon- to women only, on a recent occasion. Before opening up he had a number of trained noras and a Btring of am bulances on hand. A hundred women in the audience fainted and had to be hauled off to the hospital. We arenot advised whether it was the remnant of modesty that re oiained or Billy’s sledge hammer slang that did the work, but at any rate his aim was true and the women, fell in front of him. It is a. very sugnestive and startling thing that such an . onslaught on the modesty of woman should be thought necessary. Our friends the Suffragists prosper most and find their strongest adherents in those communities where womanly modesty is discredited. VWe do not eay that all the suffragists have IoBt their modeBty, for they have not. Some of them are just as womanly and gentle as may be found in the world; but we do say that the blush on the cheek is not considered good form among many of the leaders of the .-propaganda: Wotnen who feel that they are de out on a cruBade to compel men to give them their rights can not af ford to blush. They are soldiers, and timid soldiers are . poor fight ers. This is the evil we have al ways feared from the enlargement of the suffrage. It is coming, and no man can stem the rising tide, but when it does come much of the modesty of womanhood goes. The right to vote involves the right to take care of yourself. And if a woman makes her own living and furnishes her own protection what business has Bhe to blush? ■ We may be wrong about this;; thing, but we believe the logic of the sit uation rules out1 maidenly modesty which among strong minded.woin eti means weakness, but which in reality id an element of power; and she must bid it goodbye forever when she steps into the shoes of . a man/' .-'V / ■’.

The tick et isan Unusually strong one, and there is no..doubt but that it will be elected by a large majority this fall ^The Record feels fought a good fight. that it hat We have Ia- bSred for a long time to get' the Re publicans of the county to let th< passes nominate the county ticke' Ood the convention held lastweek was run by the masses and thepoli- ticians were *civen a back seat. We hiye favored a two-term system f< r Cojihty offices and not over three terms at the longest. The Record will, stand squarely behind the. ticket nominated. Weseenoreason why Mocksvillt cannot secure a cotton mill- or e hosiery mill. We notice that Moores- ville is getting a new. $500,000 mill, and Albemarle, has also landed a new mill. If the. Wbin Si men-of this city would get together and pull for a few mills - and factories they could be secured.- It seems that there are a few men here who do not want the .town to grow and take on new life. Such fo'ks ough1 to move out into the back wood?, away from the railroads and tot *3oii roads, and live as Daniel Boohe did. Withcheap lands, cheap fuel, good factory sites and cheap labor and taxes, it would be a fine place to lo cate a mill or factory. . There is no K&lthier town = in the state than Mocksville. Let’s get busy and set ijrw? can’t land some new basinet enterprise before 1917. ] tepubli ge very sav, of 4ent Wilson according to tt ®ir ° ^ testimonyjwas one of ihe and most able exponents of can doctrine but Io!' the chan much disappointed they course they would have yot that Republicans were sore pointed in Mr. Hugh**, they mes that are disappointed ft seems evident that they STAND BY THE TICKET v; ..We havg in a friendly way advoca j^d a change in our county affaire. We did it in order to better preserve good representative government. Now, as the party has met and nomi nated a good, strong ticket, we fee that it .Is the duty of every Republi can to 9o all he can honorably t< elect the whole ticket. - JSvery man on it is worthy an<? capable and if elected will have th< interest of the county at heart, anc will perform the duties of their res peptive officers/ impartially, regard of party, faction, or persona! interests.

Last Saturday and Mondaythe gang seemingly met their Waterloo, but when you anBlize the re sult. you will see that the ruling force be hind the smashing of the slate by the former henchmen of the machine was “the cohesive power of public plunder ” I have no criticism to make of hundreds oi the rank and file whose'ignorance and loyalty to party ajje greater than their conception of right'and justice to their fellowman. The mob bent on crucifying Christ was not appeased when they were given a victim, but continued to cry out crucify him! crucify him! I - have heard of the devil rebuking sin. but the picture of A. T. Grant, Jr., thrown, against the screen, for thirty- minutes, denouncing Jim Sheek for offering the office of sheriff to the lowest bidder, and the bidder his brother-in-law, makes a picture that would arouse comment and possibly a little ap plause In a S cent snow, provided the spectators were -personally acquainted with the acton. Ye gods and little fishes what a sight. It’s the regret of my lift that I missed the only great and big show ever pulled off in the town of Mocksville. "I knew, I knew, it could not last; ‘Twas bright, yas heavenly, but ah, ’tis past.”Think bf two of the generals of the retreating army, stopping long enough, In sight of the enemy.to pull off such astunt —it is incomprehensible, and nothing but 11 the revelations of a future age can solve l^Mhe acts and performances of a Davie county Republican machine boss.

No political party ;an command the respect of the people oy nominating bad, corrupt and incom petent men for the offices. Noi.c but eO- Der, honest, capable and competent men should be given charge of the officeB. Tbe Republicans of Davie have for years been nominating and electing men to office who could not discharge the duties ol clieir office. I have decided to' quit voting tor drunkards, rascals and incompetents.: After thinking the, matter over , in ..the ight as I see it, of what is best for the. taxpayers and the people of the entire county, I bave decided to cast my vote for the county Democratic ticket, provided )f course that they put out a good ticket, ind I hope the Democrats will pass reso lutions in their convention favoring the iuditing of the county officers books and abolishing the office of County Treasurer, and amending the road law in a way to make it more serviceable to the people. I ian stand as much as any other man in cbe county, I presume; and I believe the people have stood just about as much as they can srandhi tiiia county. and the only way to get rid of it. so as to really benefit the.®"*'® people, is to vote it out on the 7th toy of November. AjSfone whythinkslrtsigned as postmaster to get in a scramble^ for n county office is badly mistaken. ln_ 1910 I was offered the;office of Clerk o fth eCourt by the bosses, but the price would have been Aibmissipn to the machine rinfl- Thepeople in 1910 went to the primaries and nominated me for the legis lature on Saturday, but the machine goj together Sunday and stole it from me and had the audacity to end a messenger to me early Monday morning of the conven tion and notified me of the steal and re quested me to be quiet, that the Execu tive Gmimittee would nominate me alter another party resigned. Can my real friends who know me expect me to longer ^ffliiatftWith and endorse such a gangT is the honor, reputation and good name of any man safe In such company ” I lbink not and I have decided to quit w. I do not wish it to be understood or thought that I mean the above to apply to the en tire membership of the RepubiiMn party, for tbere are as good honest and reBpect- able men in tbe ranks as in any party, and I want to-see them rebuke the ma chine on the 7th of November. When I resigned as postmaster in 1908,1 had two definite objects in; view—one was to, re form the Republican political machine in Davie county. Failing in that, the second was to smaih the machine. The first I found was an impossible undertaking, for God alone can change the leopards spots or the Ethiopians skin. I abandoned the undertaking and a higher power has been at work and the signs of disintegration are apparent. The second was a pretty big job, and while it has been accomplish ed in part. I am firmly of the opinion that the oidv place at which it can be com pleted is at the ballot box. _ Anybody of common sense knows that if tbe ticket nominated on the 5th is elected.- A. T. Grant, Jr., will absolutely control the fin ances of Davie county for the next two years-. The primaries and convention showed that the Republicans were tired of bis domination and the peyple of the county' have been tired of it for some time. Thepeople ln Davie county can only rule by going to the election on the 7th day of November and tbere defeat che entire ticket nominated on the 5th. Forsyth.

CALOMELWHEN BBJOUS? NO! STOP! m K K T W SICK AND SftLJVATI wIMtoRrS Uwr Tona” Is Haraless To Oleu Yoir Slnggsh Uver u d Bowels. TJgkt Calomel makes you sick. It’s horrible! Take a dose of the dangerous drug tonight and tomorrow yon may lose a day’s work. .Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of tlje bones. Calomel, when it comes into contact with sour bile crashes into it, breaking it. up. This is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. If you are slug gish and “all knocked out,” if your Uver is torpid and bowels constipated or you have headache, dizziness, coated tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour, just try a spoonful of harmless Dodson’s Xiver Tone tonight on my guarantee. Here’s my guarantee—Go to any drug store and get a 50 cent bottle of Dod son’s Liver Tone. .. Take a spoonful and if it doesn’t straighten you right up and make you feel fine and vigorous I want you to go back to the store and get your money. Dodson’s Liver Tono is destroying the sale of calomel because it is real liver medicine; entirely vege table, therefore it can not> salivate or make you sick. Lguarantee that one Bpoonful of Dod son’s Liver Tone will put your sluggish liver to work and clean your bowels of that sour bile and constipated waste which is clogging your system and mak ing you feel miserable. I guarantee that a bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone will keep your entire family feeling fine for months. Give it to your children. It i* harmless; doesn’t gripe aud they like its pleasant taste.

SAFETY FIRST WHATIT MEANS IN THE HOME -'-Solomon said: "Wisdom- is- toe principal thing, therefore get wisdom, and with all thy getting, get under standing.” ' In what better manner can this wisdom be used than in get ting a good understanding of the best ways in which to safeguardout homes? . r ^ -V A home to be perfeotly safe should have a good foundation. First-of all, it must be biiilt on the principle ol cleanliness. Cleanllneaa1 should be practiced by every hasuewlfe. - Ths house should be kept clean. . Care shtiuld be taken that no* decayed vege tables are allowed to -remain in some secluded corner of the pantry. VfIn a home .where there are children, (iare should be - exercised to keep matches opt of . the, react* of inquisi tive little . fingers. In a - neighboring city-the mother of two' tittle tots left them In the' house alone for a short time. On -her return she- was horri fied to see her 3-year-old boy envel oped in flames, -from whicb ha died a few hours later. Had she put''into practice the principles o i "8afetj First" by putting the matches vunder lock and key;- if need be, thfe parents would not now be mourning the loss of that little Ufe.

She Return* to Her Fir*t Lore —Every thing Radical From Corernor Down. Portland, Maine. Sept. 11,—At a late hour tonight the indications, based on a tabulation of the vote from a little more than half the pre cincts, were that the Republicans had won the State election today by safe pluralities. If the ratio of the Republican mar gin is maintained, Carl E. Killikan will be elected Governor by 11.000 plurality. Bert M. Fernald, Republican has been elected for the short term in the United States Senate and the same ratio of gain would give him a plurality of 9,500. , United States Senator Charles F. Johnson, Democrat, has been de feated by Frederick Hale, by an in dicated plurality of 7,500. If the Republican congressional candidates hold the Irad they had late tonight, three, Louis B. Good- all. in the First District. Congress man John A. Peters in the Third,, and Ira G- Herzy, in the Fourth, are elected. Congressman Daniel J . Mc- Gillicuddy, Democrat, was also de feated in the Second District by W. H. White, but this fight was close. This total vote may prove to have been the largest' ever cast in the State. The election was the culmination of one of the hottest fights ever waged in the State and marked tbe reunion of the Republican and Pro gressive parties, whose differences in 1912 gave the electoral vote of Maine to President Wilson and two years later resulted in the election of Governor Oakley C. Curtis, a Demo crat, by a plurality of 3,189. To night’s figures indicate that the. lar ger percentage of the Progressive vote which two years ago was 18, 226, was cast,tj3day; fo r, the Repub-, lican ticket. ' ’ Throughout the campaign in which a great number of men from - all parts of the country, and drawn from Republicans, Democrats and Progressives, participated. * Nation' ul issues were kept to the forefront, The interest aroused together with perfect election weather, j brought out one of the biggest voteB ever cast in the State and possibly great er than has been known before. Chicago. Sept. 11.—"Maine gives the first appeal for a return! to a protective tariff and the first answer to the Adamson bill,” Alvin T. Herte Western Republican campaign man ager. said tonight, "The victory today assures us of victory in November. The victory means that Maine has, enough of the Wilson Administration. It a lso means that the Republicans are to gain control of the United States Senate and that Charles E. Hughes, when he enters the White House next March, will be accorded lthe support of a Republican House and a Republican Senate. Asgoes Maine, so goes the Union.” ■ Fail to Find Villa Band.

Hobson’s Choice. AsuBed to day this expression means a choice with only one thing to choose. Tobias Hobson was a livery stable keeper at Cambridge, England, during the reign.of King •Charles I. He kept a stable of forty horses, Whioh he hired out by Ibe hour or day, and was.fam ous in his day, so far as a livery stable keeper could be. When you went to Hobaoh to hire a horse you had the privilege ofieoking over all, the horses in the alhble to decide which one. you.. A V .. . .would-like to drive, but he always mads/yon takeitbe one. in the stall nearest the door. In this way all horsesin the Btabie were worked in turn, and while you might pre- tendito choose your own horse, you really had no choice; you bad to take the one nearest the door or none. As Boon as a horse was hired the other horses in the stable were moved up, each one to the stall next toward the door, so there was always a horse in the stall nearest the door.

The Chatham Record tells us of a case in Chatham Superior Court in wbieh L. W. Hatley sued Hen ry Regan for slander, the plaintiff alleging that the defendant bad damaged his name and fame to tbe extent of. $2,500 by norating it aronnd that he, the plaintiff afore said, had stolen, purloined, taken and carried away a barrel of whis key. The defendant not only ad mitted that he had spoken and ut tered the words alleged, but ^de clared they were true, which he offered to show to the satisfaction of the court; and b’gosh, as Col. Fairbrother would say, he not only offered-to prove that the so called slander was the real troth, but he did prove it to the satisfaction of a jury, who allowed him to go with out a day'.

An item copied in The Observer about a wagon load of crocks, jars and jugs arriving at Mocksviile from a pottery in Catawba County, reminds The Wilmington Star of the time when; the pottdry flourished in this section of North Carolina. It is still an industry of considerable consequence. ‘’Mecklenburg,” says The Star, “ used to have two jug factories, strictly rural industries,” and it thinkB there is no reason why the ceremac industry should ,not flourish in western North Carolina, for the geologists statfe that the sev eral varieties of clays to be had in great abundance ‘^are among ,the finei8t to be found in America.” The pottery industry at one time was of commercial importance to Lincoln, Catawba and adjoining counties and had attained extensive proportions at the outbreak of the Civil War. The old Potter's road that runs fty Charlotte to the north .and east, .se cured its iiatne by reason of the fact that it was the direct route from the potteries in these counties to Char leston, Which was tfie. pottery mar ket for this sectiotf of the South. This industry might still be revived Oh a profitable basis, but the world has probably picked *!up too.: fast a pace for it, or maybe the pottery heirs and assigns are too lazy to.keep th£ wheels going —Charlotte Obser ver. • Advancer Sept.'16.

In 1871 the Franco Republican, was Presi dent. He preserved .peace. A few yearB ago the Basso Japanese war presented' Bimiliar questions of neutrality.' Theodore Bposevelt, a Republican, was President. He. too; kept us at peace. VYby should Pierce, Grant or Booseyelt have involved ns in any of those past wars of the EaBtern HeniiBpheret Why should President Wilson in volve us nowt These other Presi dents did not only their duty, and it is President’s Wilson’s Bupreme duty to see that we are not invol ved in the present Eurdpean W ar. —Ex. ; . - , -N 1 Japanese Trade and Low Tariff. The .Tapaneee Ootton Trading Company sees its opportunity and is establishing a big agency in tbie country. They have their own ‘steamers with cheap Japanese Sailors and thjy pay their workers, mostly women and children, each low wages that only a protective tariff can save this industry. _ Congressr man Austin visited Japan and re ported that their mills were as well equipped with all modern ma chinerv as ours. He says, “ They pay males 25 cents and’ feihalesiTl cents for 11 hours work; in one plant a room fall of women were working at 8 cents a day.” “ In another plant at least a thousand women and girls are working at 15 cents a day; fifteen, women occupy asingle room, sleep. ing on the floor; the meal consists of a saucer filled with, rice and beans, a piece of fish the si ve of a silver dollar, half a Japanese rad- dish and a cop of tea.” A strong protective tariff is our only safeguard; there can be no free trade except it might be pos sible between equals who have the same scale of iiviug.

They may be summarised as follows. "The utter inability of the Are de partment to control a Are In a building of large area and height In which Are can spread from cellar to roof In a period of time shorter than that In which the Are- department can respond and: get Into effective operation. rThe necessity for eliminating frame additions to brick buildings, protecting IntarIor and exterior wall openings, enclosing vertical openings, as well as the necessity tor proper construction of paropets, skylights and dormer win- 1The need of an ample water supply and a pressure giving effective hy drant streams under maximum re quirements, or of having all Are com panies equipped with an ample supply •of-pumping engines. :■ "The danger arising from the stor age of cotton In the streets which not only spreads the Are,- but prevents engine companies - from working at -advantageous points. JrThe inability of a fire-proof build- Ing to act as a fire barrier when Its exterior openings are not protected. ; -fThe danger of the .wooden-shingle •”d. the manner In which lt epreads *;-br-,-ond the ability of a Aro depart ment to oontrol, even when a fair pro portion of the-buildings are of brick and-have non-combustible roofs, and •'D not congested. ■ "The further fact that wide streets do not form a fire-break when wooden roof construction is ' 'Inance Index. MAKING THE BLUE-SKY LAW EFFECTIVE. - The recent action of the State Su preme Court In upholding the North Carolina Blue-Sky. Law. In the noted A*roy case from Alamance county-will greatly aid In freeing the citizenship of North Carolina from Imposition through the sale-of stocks and other Investments In schemes of nonrsM- dent concerns whose promoters have fleeced good and careful citizens In many sections of the state In the past The decree of the court makes effect ive* the power of-the State Department otvlnsurance to rigidly investigate -cor porations that propose to sell Invest ments of the kind In this state, refuse to license those found to be unworthy ahd to effectively prosecute and-pun ish-those promoters who make-sales without ^he State license: Citizens who .are approached with propositions to sell these stocks and-investments to; them should by all means call the agent, to show his license from the State and, If It Is ■ not _ forthcoming, have nothing .to do with the proposi tion, no matter how attractive It may seem. -; - INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE; Perhaps one. gets a dearer- concep tion of the service performed by life Insurance companies when he studlee the business -of Industrial life Insur ance.
