Individuals holding office m:y prove false to their public trust. Kviien lliey do, they proveeqiially | 3lse to their party trust. Their ruilt is not partisan or American j„it personal. There is 110 more logic or justice in condemning a I 3HV because one of its number is Io condemn a party because some Lnk official is dishonest or to de nounce religion because some church member is recreant to his lfaitli. _ Tliose who seize upon the mis deeds of some public official as au L cuse to attack our political in- Litiitions are doing what they, can IodeStroy the only form of govern- Lent which so far has withstood Sliose influences which corrupt and Iventually destroy government. There are but two alternatives 0 our system of representative Lrty government, —dictatorship or fme-inau governmen, and. the rule ftheiuob W ithout any excep tion history recQr4s~utba.t.,gqyjenk nent by dictatorship invariable leads to corruption. A power ivhich is unchecked, which owes no Accounting to the governed, invari ably becomes dominated by anibi- itiou and greed. It is notorious [that govermeut by the mob leaes to dcious excesses of every sort, and jlraft and corrution flourish unre- Jiuked. • . Those partisans who, in their keal to make political capital out pf the dishonor of an individual, |an the flames of class hatred and low seeds of suspicion against all public men are contributing to the breakdown of American govern ment. The are merely aiding that ^nall vicious class which is indul ging in the same denunciation not put of a desire to make political [capital, because they are frankly ppposed to our form of government/ In the midst of such clamor, it Nhouldt be emphasized that our !government is cleam, upright and Jtrustworty. Partisan, excitement |aiul recrimination must not cause Ills to lose sight of the fact that be- pore we are partisans we are Ameri cans, with faith in our institutions. Those who for any reason seek to pestroy this faith are not perform ing a service but an injury to the ■principal popular government. Goodbye, Coopers.

(did A Resignation Is Now In Order., Thanks to the vote of the jury at Wilmington the lieutenant-gover nor of North Carolina is no longer in imminent danger of being dec orated-with a ball and chain. Con sequently he is 110 longer able to, plead that lie might prejudice his case .in the courts if he resigned'the office which he now holds to the disgust of "all people who have any sort of regard for the proprieties and deconcies of life. It is officially declared that W. B. Cooper is not a felon. But the fact that a mau is not a felon, is by no means prooi that he is fit to hold the second highest office within the gift of the people of the state of North Carolina. . In the course of the successful efforts to save the lieutenant-governor from going to the penitentiary’", enough evidence was adduced ou hip own side to make his continuance in office on offeuse to decent people. ' - A banker with Iany sense of pro fessional ethics feels that his per sonal honor is engaged with his bank, and if his bank fails, with loss to the depositors, he feeis that his honor isstaivfed, no matter-how guiltless of^wrong-doing he may have been personally. A banker bears to his institution arelation simHiar to that which a sea-captain bears to his ship—it the. vessel goes down, the captain-must be the last man off, if the bank goes down, the banker must go with it. We have recently‘had an instance in this state of the ,collapse of 3 bank followed by the iudictment and trial of the banker. He, too-, was acquitted; but he? happehed' to be a real banker, and the ruin of his. reputtation unhinged his reason. For W. B. Cooper, having lost his bank with calamitous results to hundreds of people who had trusted him, to continue to parade in the trapping of high office, is as offen sive as tor 1 captain who has through negligence or incompetence lost his vessel, to continue to pa rade in uniform, demanding pre-. cedenceiand salutes. Cooperdoesn’t have to go' to jail. Let him be thankful for that, and-get himself out of sight of the public as soon as may be.—Greensboro News; I Died With Wilson. S. J.

NUMBER" 35 Parents and Ttachefs. ; ^ A noted educator savs that: an ac tive Parent-Teachers association" is fh.u sign of-a healthy condition and are indication tKat parents are vitally interested in the schools. ! It is even more than. that. It dis closes that parents are not alone in terested in their school, but also in their children,_arid in order to-better the condition of their offspring, are turning to the schools as the that can get results. Not infrequently It has beeb charged that the., changing social or der has resulted in parents neglect ing their children, that the'increas ing demand-of people for more hours per days devoted -to-. pleasure, Twith consequents neglect of the home’ life, and hence neglect of the children. ’ Jf this change be true—and in many instance it doubtless is—a .virile organization of parent and teachers devoted to Improving the schools indicatis a change of .heart. Many people . are. realizing that children have been neglected; that mother has spent too much time with her card clubs and church socities; chat father has been devoting too many hours to playing golf or to other pleasures. This has brought added-responsibility to.the schools. "The natural thing Jo r parents to <fo, after having overloaded the schools with responsibilities they ihould Jmve.borne, is.to turn to the schools and help, work out a way to meet the problems that confront the child, of the present generation is a good sign.

Alcyone Is Brightest Star of the Pleiades Alcyone, the brightest star of Ihe- !’leiac.cs, equals in brightness'the star Zeta, says Nature Magazine. It was at one time fancifully pictured as the center of-tlie universe by the ustrouo- mer Mulder, but this was merely a speculation for-which there is abso lutely no foundation. The Pleiades form, in fact, a moving cluster of stars of 2011 or more members and the prln-' clpal stars are associated-with a nebu la of vast- size. There is no reason to believe that our sun with his family of planets Is moving around this or any other center of the universe. It Iuis been estimated that the distance of the Pleiades from the solar system is .over 300 light years, or, in other words, that the light from this cluster takes over 300 years to travel to the earth.

But the Ilnsh that overspread her face showed her confusion, and when, compelled by Winton’s presence, she raised her head, her mortification wns too evident for Winton’s, feelings. Suddenly he understood the mean ing of her self-depreciatory words In the coach. A glance at the smirking waitresses, who were plaihly of a class that had drifted to the fields for adventure and predatory purposes: showed him. the humiliation of the girl’s position.. . He remembered what she had told hlin about -two kinds of women; and In a flash he understood more than. he could have learned In the course of a detailed explanation. He saw the Invisible class barrier that recognized two and only two con ditions. On one side you were of the chosen; on the other, you-shared the circumstances of the most vile. There were no subtle nuances of station here, nothing b;r which a decent woman was recognized as such, unless-she came to Malopo In the care of some man of independent means. “ And a Hood of pity surged over the young man. He strode impulsively to ward the desk. “Miss Seaton!” he exclaimed. “I—” She shook her head In vexation. "You must go away, Mr. Garrett,” she said. -• “I wont to see you, to speak with you.” ■ “I dare not. Please go away!” Her distress was so evident that Wlnton could do nothing but obey, “At least let ,me meet you afterward.” he pleaded. “Let me walk home with you. I' shall wait for you. on the stoep.’’ ; . “If only, you’ll go away now—” begged Siieita;' Wlnton went to a table. As he-sat down- he was conscious of the glance of the hotel proprietor,, who stood neat the entrance. The fellow was watch ing Wintcn and appraising him. Wins ton saw the waitresses glancing at him and smiling. And then he understood still more than before. The flashy women In the Continental dining room were there much less for their ability, to wait than to draw cus tomers. And Sheila, In the cashier’s seat, was the particular magneti of the place. And Wlnton might be a “find.” The proprietor was sizing him up as ' a potential captive of his cashier. , He was estimating him in terms of pounds ; and shillings brought' to the bar of the Continental. The waitresses, al ways alert for new victims with money, were watching him, too. Wlnton understood. Sheila’s shame -to the full. It was bis nqw, and it overwhelmed him. He must get the girl away from that place.. Not for an instant d!d it occur to him to doubt her. He saw the desperation that had driv en her to her employment, tied, to a drunken..good-for-nothing father, In a land -where women Wire of two kinds alone, the parasites and the home makers. ' . ., He did not raise his eyes to the desk again, but ate his meal hurriedly, Ignoring the friendly approaches of his waitress, and -went out upon the stoep. lie sat down, looking across the market square. . The sun had set, and dart mess was- coming on with the nwiftneqi of those low latitudes- He began panning-busily for Sheila and her father. - . He mtSt discover what-hold De WItt had over Daddy- Seaton.; . If be could break- tliat boiidand restore the old man’s se lf-respect the beginning would have been made.., . "Wei* It’s n flic, evening, ain’t It,” - mid a votoe begMe him: - • Winfon swung round, to see the little' man whom he had noticed before sup per standing against the wall of the hotel.' He started. How long the man had been there he could hot imagine, but he felt almost as if his thoughts had been laid bare. The man dropped into the chair be side him. “And what do you think of this country?” he continued, fixing Winton with his black eyes. ^ “Strang er, ain’t you? I spotted you as soon as you ;came In this afternoon..” “Yes' I’m a stranger,” answered Win- ton curtly. “There ain’t many Americans in this country yet, but they won’t ,be long coming. You always find ’em where the money is;” said the little man. "In terested in a claim?” “I might be,” answered Winton. “As a rule I keep my affairs to myself.” “Oh; no offense,” said the little man hastily. “We’re all here for the money, ain’t we? Of course, you’re dead right to take ■ that-stand. You don’t know me and J don’t know you. Town’s full of rogues and i. D. B. men, anyway. That was a smart trick getting away with the De Witt stone, eh? But the police will prove too smart for those fellows—if it ain’t a lie.” Winton said nothing. He disliked the- little man intensely. He felt an atmosphere of stealth and moral un cleanness exuding from him, and the little man was. getting on Winton’s nerves by the way he fidgeted, first with'one arm-and then with'the other ; then with one leg and then with the other. lTiiis L D. B. game now—you’ve heard of it, I suppose, even though you are a stranger? Illicit diamond buy ing—it’s as old as the first diamond claim pegged out In Kimberley. Sev en years on the breakwater'at Cape Town to buy diamonds that way, and most of the big men In this country started in that- game. Perfectly .re spectable now, and they ought to have the convict ,brand stamped all over them. But' it’s a temptation,’when a Kaffir laborer knows more ways 'of hiding a stone than any White man could think of. Takes a shrewd com pound manager to keep tab on them. They usedJto swallow them, but. we countered that. Then they’d cut holes In their skin aid bury them, UllhvSe.- started ‘ the medical examination^ as well as the daily search." Then they hid them in their dogs, and we shut the dogs out of the compounds. There was one fellow, a dentist, used to stop their teeth with them. And that game wasn’t worked out before .they had a new trick. ‘Yes, Malopo’s a queer place,” he continued; ‘-‘Between you and me, I don't believe that De Witt stone was. picked up here at all. De Wltt brought it up from Kimberley and planted it'on the Big Malopo claim. That’s what most people are saying. Jiist an ad vertising -trick to boom his stock,' and' the same with the stealing. That stone wasn’t stolen.” “See here!” cried Winton, goaded to exasperation. “What In the name of thunder do you mean by calling - the Big Sfalopo Mr. De Witt’s? What has Mr, De Witt to do with It?” The llttie man laughed and nudged Winton jovially in the side. The touch of his fingers against Winton’s coat was almost intolerable. Winton moved his chair away. . “Now it’s you who are asking ques tions,” said the little man. “You know what you know and I know what I know, eh?” . He chuckled, rose' up, and walked away. Whatever the object of his address might have been, it bad suc ceeded in stinging Winton in hiS ten- derest place. Everybody In Malopo seemed to take it for granted that De Witt already owned the Big Malopb. Even Ned Bums had taken the stone to De Witt. And it had been placed on exhibition in the Syndicate bank. Winton was raging. He meant to show Malopo who owned the claim, and he had forgotten all his warnings about .being cautious. :• )' A -mob of men from the dining room came out upon I the porch, laughing, and joking. Inside the hotel winton heard two in altercation, the subject of their dispute being, apparently, -one- of the waitresses. The mekl was over. Win ton rose and looked through the door way. Then he saw Sheila' putting on her bat beside the cashier’s desk. ’ A man spoke to her as she left the room,, but she walked past him, and went down the steps before Winton. could intercept her. He followed her, and as be did so he bear'd one of the men on the porch make a jesting re mark about him to a companion. rWinton did not heed lfc;'He caught up with the girl at the comer of the block. “Miss Seaton I” he began. She turned, and stopped,' “Mr. Gar rett—” she began. “You asked me to go away, and T did so. I thought you would allow me— • “What Is it that you want?” asked Sheila. IJI want to help you. I know that you are! friendless here, that you are' doing work which is.unsulted to you I know that you were not bom for this sortpf llfe. I want ,to beryour friend:; and your father’s.” : -■ *tA • hundred men; have said” that to me since, I came to Malopo,” answered the girl bitterly. “I mean It” , -. “You moau that you aro. Quixotic enough to wish to do a kindness with out any return; No, Mr. Garrett And f want you to forget that you eyer met me.”She turned again and began walking quickly along the.dark street, but Win ton kept at her side., • ■ “But you are unreasonable,” he cried. "Miss Seaton, surely you are not so rich In friendships that you can re ject one which is' disinterested.” “Mr. Garrett,” she answered, stop ping once more and looking him square ly In the face, “I am not so friendless as you think. And I do not accept friends out, of pity, If you are a gen tleman, you will not speak to me again, not notice me, in the Continental, or anywhere. Good night; and let this be good-by.” He watched her until her figure was lost .In the murky mazes of the foul streets that stretched toward the des ert. His heart sank. . There was noth ing more that he could do, then. He hated Malopo how; he wished he had never come. ■’ Looking back toward the single elec tric light that stood at the comer of the market square, he fancied that he perceived the figure of the little man who had talked with him upon the stoep of the hotel. He was standing with another, pointing after him. Winton strode away, He bad en tirely forgotten Burns’ warning; and if he bad remembered it would not have made any difference. He wanted to get out toward the desert again, to be alone. Old clothes shops, which thrived upon the wages of the native gangs brought to work Inr the compounds, booths of Greek, Syrian, and Indian peddlers, alternating with vaeant lots, Unfed the sandy track. There Were mean little alleys that extended at right angles, terminating In shadows. The moonlight, straggling fitfully through a bank of clouds, something, rarely seen in the dry season, disclosed the desert beyond. ' Near the outskirts of the town -was a new structure consisting of about a score of brick houses of uniform height and. a single, story each, joined to-form two'sides of a square. On the third side was another street, with vacant lots fronting it; on. the fourth barbed • OneoJthemput his hand into his pocket and drew some thing Jorth.'j wire, and the desert beyond. In the center was a well. These houses, which were of the crudest construction, contained apparently but two rooms apiece, and the aspect of the Whole construction was dismal beyond Imagi nation. Only two or three seemed to be inhabited,’ and this fact was'to be learned, by.the tin cans and other ref use that had been thrown out from the doors. ‘ , Winton ,turned from the place In dis gust and made his way toward the end of the street, looking upon the desert. Then be perceived two men close be hind him. Since the -little'man -was not one of them, however, he thought llttie of the matter, and, as they came qtiickly toward him, he stepped aside to-let them take the harder center of the road. / Whdn Qiey were almost abreast of him they separated, with the evident intention' of passing on" either side. Fpr the first time Winton scented mis chief He put his hand, to his pocket where lay 'Ned Burns’ revolver.. He had half ;drawn it when it was dashed to the ground, and the two. leaped at him*. Astunningblowupontheheadfrom a wooden baton sent Winton reeling, He gained his feet just in time, and sent the men staggering back with a couple of—blows In the face. They came at him-again. A second blow on the head felled Wlnton to the ground. His assailants were upon him. kicking and pounding’ him. ' One of them put his hand into Ws pocket and drew something forth, holding It up to his companion with an ex ultant cry. It seemed to be a «m.n •stone, wrapped . In tissue paper/ 'An instant later It lay In-,the man’s palm, ■It’S the De Wltt I” yelled the other; and. turning to Wlnton; Mcked him again.“The game's up, my lad," he shouted. “We were tipped off -about .you, aiid we’ve got you fair. Are youcomlng quietly?” • -At first bewildered. Wlnton now dis cerned that the men wore the uniform of the town police. He saw the trap Into which be had fallen. The UtUe man had placed the stone In his pocket while they sat side by side on the stoep of the hotel, an hour before. He saw the consequences. He would be flung into jail, held there, and, if not railroaded to the breakwater by Judge Davis, at least prevented from attend ing the meeting In the Cihamber of Commerce the following-morning., De Wltt had laid his scheme well. The fury that filled him at the reall- zation of his predicament momentarily paralyzed him. He lay perfectly still. One of his'assailants stooped over him and looked into his face. “You knocked him out for falr, Rob erts,” he said. “This will mean pro motion for us.” “And De WItFU pay through the nose. He’ll have to,” answered the other meaningly. ‘There was1 some papers we was to. look for,” said his companion. The two were off their guard as Win ton sprang. But he; rather seemed to fly from his supine position to his feet with an instantaneous co-ordination of movements. Beforethe amazed police could meet his onslaught be had snatched the baton Yrom the one who had struck him down, and brought it crashing down on his.skull. The man dropped upon his ,hands and knees, moaning, and began crawling with ap parently aimless movements, this way and that.' . The second policeman,' who did not lack pluck, had time to draw his truncheon and attack Winton, who dodged in under a blow which glanced harmlessly off his arm, and ,landed his fist full on hiis mouth. The man stum bled and fell, and Winton turned and ran like, the wind, making for one of the dark alleys that led but to the road. A s1Iie ran he heard the'crack of revolver shots- behind him, followed by the police whistle, and cries for help. The man had picked up.Ned Burns' revolver and fired, .but the bul lets .did not go anywhere near Wlnton, and the policeman's act In firing, and his delaying, the pursuit to summon as sistance gave the fugitive time bo . dart out of sight.around the corner.. 1 Winton had been something of a sprinter at college. He knew he could probably outdistance- the best of the police force. But be' heard answering whistles-before hlm: and shouting, He Inferred that he was running toward the police station. He saw; another alley mouth open beside an empty ped dler’s' wagon, and darted down. ... The street , was empty, but the moon now' rode high In the sky, lighting up the town more brightly, than'an Instal lation of electric , lights might- have done. Wlnton had baffled his pursuers for the moment, but/they were all about him; the trap had'been well set, and in fact pairs of police had been sta tioned at the ends of all the streets leading Into the desert He was like a trapped rat, 'rushing blindly 'from alley to alley* and,, what-was .worst the foreign population of the district was waking from the early sleep in duced by {its activities pfthe day. As Wlnton ran ah Indian fired deliberately at him from a window. The wind'of the bullet whistled upon his neck. And the shouts were growing lodder on all sides. VYlnton was-reeling from weakness as he ran. He bad not realized how strong an effort he had made to pull himself, together after the. two stun ning blows. Something was dripping into his eyes; he put his hand up and was amazed to find It covered with blood. , At last he halted, breathless. He was In an alley* blocked n w at .the end behind him by his pursuers. They bad not seen him as he ran In the shadow of some booths, but the yells of the Indians apprised Winton that his course was accurately known. Before him a street fan at ,right angles, and somewhere In this another group was racing, to cut him off.- He looked up In despair, and then discovered that he had run round the circumference of a large circle. In front of him was the square which he had passed Immediately before the at tack on him. He was approaching from the third side of it, and his only chance of escape lay Into the'desert, bright as day under the hard moon light. - ■/:.

'I'he church has been so email, only 130 members, that by ,lujinsulvcs they could not support ,T pil.^UH. change in the church pro- is due largely to the gener- iliiiiv of the heirs okthe late Stephen Mnriinii .S m ith , formerly of Davie county, w h o died at York, Penn., some years ago.

S te iilie ii Morgan Smith was born in D avie county near Hall’s Ferry • !iro iim i 1S40, and early in life iden tified h im s e lf with the Moravian L'iuirch a t Macedonia Early in life liesliowedadecided ttend toward : tilings meciiaiiical, and at about the ao-L- o f tw e titv years he moved to Y ork, IY n n ., guided by one of the M oravian pators, who was at that j tim e s e rv iiig th e church at Macedo nia. M r. S m ith went to work in a fo.uiidry and machine shop in. York. ; D urin g th e manufacture -of muni- j lions fo r th e war the foundry, com- Ip a iiy s ta ite d the machines for a I w hile, saw a chance to greatly im- 1 prove th e ir operation, and, accord ing!} , d e sig n ed a machine, showing radical changes in the then popular j model. Thru the manufacture of this new machine. Mr. Sniittt pro- j filed g re a tly , and later brought out I Ilie fo u n d ry shop, and engaged ful - j Iy in the manufacture of his im- i proved turbine. - - . Later in life Mr. Smith sold tlie shop and his patent rights for a I coiisitlerable.cash sum and.for roy- I alties. The machines were then j put upon the market on a scale atid tlie loyalties accruing ‘made him a j very wealthy man. During the latter part of his life Mr. Smith made several trips to I this city and to his old home in j Davie comity. While here he visit- j «1 ihe late C. A.

S m ith died about eighteen I years ago a t his home in York, but j even before lie died he became in tensely interested in his native sec- 1 tion.

It is a great pity that he had to ring iii the Bacchanalian revelry scene near the “fend of the-perfor mance and thus leave a bad taste in the mouths of law abiding,peo pie. Just why the composers of these( plays, seem to think that it is incumbent on them to play up whiskey ' drinking is beyond us. The Volstead laws is 011 our statute books and it iS thgre to stay and all the actors and actressesin the .world on the .stage and off, cannot secure its repeal by trying to bring tlie law' in disrepute." Wliile.Johmiy Getz is.a fine actor and' plays his part well, the disgusting drunkard Sceue should be suppressed.V-Both, per formers should’ be classed in the “scofflaw” class,'for that is what they are doing, scoffing at the law. —Union Republican. -Over the Top. ..

McAdoo, secretary of the treasury in the Wilson ad ministration, recieved a fee of $200,- oao for intervention iu a tax refund case of the Republic Iron and Steel Company in 1920, according to a copyrighted SpeciajI story published by the Youngstown Vindicator. '■According to the story Mr. McAdoo was engaged by Chairman John A. Topping, of the Republic, just before the case came to a hear ing and effected a compromise with William M. Williams, then com missioner of internal revenue, and member of the tax revision board. Due to this compromise it is said the Republic received a refund of about $2,000,000 immediately.” My, but didn’t he get a big fee though. It pays to be a lawyer, serve in a cabinet for a while and then get out. Mr. McAdoo’s' supporters' will doubtless try to bolster him up and let him out as easily as possible. Iim the people have to be reckoned with. Itisa sb ard for a camel to go through tlie eye of a needle as for an attorney for vast corporate interests, in the light of receut re velations, to convince people that his voice to lead the peopl’s cru- satle against the defilers of the temple. Can McAdoo make the run. We doubt it. JIcAd00 himself beleives he is a_ finished man for the other day when Ue got back to his' home in California he made a brief speech in which he stated, “I have this to say and I say it with real meauing, I would rather have my California friend, or live in California than to be President of the United States.” He will doubtless get his wish for he will never be Pre ident of the United States.'

The Modern Savage. \ InjlIhedarkest jungles of Africa hundreds of savages have been put to flight by a few white men who knew of the superstitious nature of those ignorant people. We say, why they are only savages, who worship strange gods, and whose ver/religion is based on superstition what more could you-expect. But -- when people, some being .well edu cated people, diDg to ..the supersti tions of the savage, yet living in this enlightened country and surrounded by/cultured people, it is more than we can explain. . Recently we recei ved a chain pray er, which we were to copv and mail to nine different poeple within three 1 days, and failing .to do this, some great nvsfortune would befall US. Yes some, people believe that if they were to break the cnain, -something terrible would happen' to them.

Shame Upon Us. Mr. Editor:—A few Republicans of Davie county met in Convention March the 8th., trampled upon and ignored our plan of organization, the Old Machine under-the leader ship of A. T.

I ' understand that ■ a leading Denipcratpf the county has been for more than a Week, advis ing Republicans who to. nominate for one of the legislative' offices: who is he, and -why ,does he at tempt to control our nominees? Do we need sttch advice, and would it be wise to recall an old saying— "Beware of the Greeks, when thpy come bearing gifts?” I ask ,every.

Ct • One of the Things Mr. Royster Discovered About the FeedingofCrops Cared Fertilizer Has Increased Farmers* Earnings Haven't you beard about the more thorough and scientific feeding for plants-^-hastening maturity and helping to grow crops' that bring higher prices? Everywhere you find farmers talking about the remarkable results through the use of Royster’s Cured Fertilizer. Why Cured Fertilizer Grows,Better Crops Mr. Royster discovered that by.aging or curing fertilizer for four to six months he could increase its value as a plant-food. He found that this curing brought about a certain chemical action which prepared the fertilizer for the use of crops and made food elements available a t th e e e ry tim e th e y a re needed.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - $10# SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - $ THREE MONTHS; IN ADVANCE $ We suppose a politician could be an honest man but many of them are not. If we can’t get a canning factory for Mocksville maybe we can get a candy factory. A bigger pay roll or many empty houses. Which do you want, Mr. Business m an? ■ All the progress that Davie coun ty has made in the past decade has been under Republican rule. The liquor element in Davie county and" North Carolina should realize that their day has passed. Honest men must fill all the of fices iti town, county and state. Tiie day of the crook is nearing an end. * We have a few old ,fossils around here that are’as scared of progress and prosperity as the devil is of lioly water. So long asXhe business men in a town are divided how can the peo ple expect said town to grow and prosper. In unity there is strength From various sections of the county comesthe report - that the Republicans must - nominate a new set of men for the various county offices. We beletve that the leaders realize that- if the old officers are a- gain nommated that they- will -be defeated by the Democrats in Nov ember.'- A new ticket composed of good men must be nominated if we hope- to redeem Davie county from Democratic rule- this fall. The people will not"swallow just any body that a dozen leaders see fit to nominate. The people must be consulted. : Thereare lot's of empty lots in Mocksville that are not being utilized. Join the building and loan association and start some thing. ■ - It is rumored that the Democrats will not again nominate Hon. Mel- vern J. Hendricks to represent ' Davie in the next legislature. We wonder why. There are lots of people in Dayie county Who will pay 98c. for a monthly paper for twelve issues that wou’t pay one dollar for 52 is sues of their county papers. Many people who own automo biles are honest. The reason some of them don’t pay their debts is be cause it takes every cent they can rake and scrape to buy gas and oil. The good women of Davie are in favor of honest, sober men for office and both parties must nomi nate good men if they want the mothers and daughters to support them.

MAN-TAILORED SUIT OF TWILL; TAILORED HATS FOR SPRING T HERE are suits and suits this . spring. In describing them the fashlbn reporter must repeat “box coat" and "straight line”., so often that It hardly seems worth while to say them again—five times out of ten they may be taken for granted. Even so, there are endless variations on these two themes In. the spring modes. One example of the box coat and straight skirt Is shown here. It is evident that It was Intended for a taller person' than the young woman wearing It, for, Skirts In street clothes are from ten to twelve Inches from the hearts that beat as one have’ made the tailored suit and the tailored frock star performers In spring's style pageant Those women who have not already acquired a new tailored outfit are busy In the pursuit of one, and the confidence that nothing Is more ap proved lends zest to this business. The tailored suit requires a tail.ored hat—any other kind of millinery will ,prove a jarring note In the spring song of proper things for,street wear. And obliging milliners have provided tail ored hats to meet the demand. Few of these are severely simple, even 7 T \ B O X C O A T A N D S T R A IG H T S K IR T Boor. Otherwise . tfils plain, clean- cut,. man-tailored suit of twill will- pass as faultless under the eyes o f the most critical. Besides twills and twill ’cords, the proper cloths _ for plain tailored suits are rep, covert] cloth, camel’s hair, certain crepe’ weaves, alpaca and flannel. But In the army of suits the box coat -and straight skirt have allies that, rival them . In popular favor. There are coats with , a little shaping' or. pinching In at the waistline, made In one-button and two-button models,]' others cut on box-coat lines but over lapping at the front, giving a'diagonal line. Youthful, short, flaring jacket’s, fastened only a't the neck, take the. when strictly tailored, and most of them achieve a becomingness that Is nothing less than a lgenlus for flattery. ' Hats of straw braids, hats of silk- and hats of silk - and braid combined; appear In the, front rank of^.tailored, designs for spring. Many lustrous inlE“ llnery fabrics that look silky are also, used. Ribbons,.especially In the nar-' row widths, are -most Important .for trimming, but the tailored bat Is not- much restricted . In this matter—de? signers have learned to adapt almost all trimmings to the tailored mode..' Four hats pictured here give' a hint of the diversity of shapes presented.

Flaring sleeves introduce ,another grace note In the spring song of the pult.Tb© wrap-around skirt, t^i© military collar and the scarf collar are all Im portant Items In the styles. Nflivy bine has naturally come to the fore with the. revival of the mun-tail- ored suit, rivaled .by black and oxford In dark colors , and by beige, sand and certain • brown shades In the lighter tones. The hair-line stripe appears, to have more admirers than ever.

Below, at the right, a .black taffeta hat has petals of figured silk outlined with braid, applied' to the crown, and a facing of the silk.

Another example ap pears In the small hat of taffeta silk with the upward turn Jn Its front-brim.

T H E U D o f f SYNOPSIS. — Winton Garrett, twenty-five and‘just out of col lege, calls by appointment on Archie Garrett, his N e w York coasin and- executor, to receive his inheritance of $100,000. Ar chie, honest, an easy mark aqd a fool for luck, assures Winton that he Is practically a million aire, as he has Invested all but $10,000 in a rubber plantation in either the East or West Indies and in a controlling interest in the Big NMalopo diamond mine, somewhere . or other in South Africa, sold him as a special fa vor by a. Dutch promoter named De Witt. Winton, en route to bls' mine, finds the town of Taungs wildly excited over a big .strike at Malopo; including the 05-carat “De Witt diamond.” T w o coach passengers are a disreputable old prospector, Daddy Seaton, and his daughter Sheila.. D n the journey a-passenger,, who turns out to be De Witt himself, insults Sheila. Winton fights De Witt and knocks ‘him out. Sheila tells him to turn back. She says that her father is a broken English army officer, who has killed a man, and is therefore in De Witt's power, that De Witt Is all-powerful, be ing backed by Judge Davis, pres ident of the diamond syndicate and also the resident magistrate and Judge of the native protec torate, Winton finds Malopo In a turmoil, both over the strike and the theft of the De Wltt dia mond. He discloses his identity. H e finds Sheila is cashier In a restaurant. She declines his friendship. De Witt’s men slip the De Witt diamond in his pocket. H e flees from arrest. Sheila takes him into her home, tends his wounds and saves him from his pursuers. He convinces her that- he Is president of the Big Malopo company. The next’ morning he breaks Into the com- 'Pany meeting and declares him self. Winton succeeds In saving control. He asks Sheila to marry him. She refuses.

C IV NOIKDUGE 324IH EIU IMPETUS IS GIVEN MOVEMENT. TO REMOVE 25 PER CENT REDUCTION. SPEEOf ACTION NOW WANTED Mellon Suggests That Resolution Take Care of Proposed Cut Before June 15. Washington. — With the revenue 'bill facing several more weeks ot study by the senate finance committee, impetus was given to the movement to remove the provision for a 25 per cent reduction ih income taxes payable this year and incorporate it in a reso lution for immediate action. Secretary Mellon in a letter to Rep resentative Ackerman, republican. New Jersey, commenting on the Iat- ter’s resolution proposing to eliminate the September installment payments, said he preferred the proposed cut be made as provided in the revenue bill, but suggested the provision be taken care of by a resolution which would -assure settlement of thte pro posed cut before June 15,- when second ifistailments are due. The revenue bill would allow de duction of 25 per cent of the first in stallment to be made when the sec ond installment isf paid and further deductions of 25 per cent on the sec ond and remaining installments when they are paid. If the entire tax were paid, on March 15 it would allow a. 25 per cent refund. Elimination of the ' September payments as proposed by Representative Ackerman would dis turb the cash position of the treasury in September, Mr. Mellon said. The'secretary’s letter to Mr. Acker man said. “Your resolution provides in sub stance'that a.taxpayer paying personal income taxes in i923 in quarterly in stallments may omit the September 15 installment and if he has paid in fiili on March 15 he 'is entitled to a refund of one-quarter of the amount paid after his return is audited by the treasury. W ith'the principle that it is advisable to permit the taxpayers to get the benefit of the expected sur plus In 1924 by aI reduction of 25 per ■cent of the tax payable in the calen; dar year 1924. I am thoroughly in ac cord. There may be considerable ad ministrative difficulty-in the particu lar method which is contemplated by , the resolution. "It seems to me it would be simpler, and certainly preferable from the StandpointlOf the treasury, if the plan incorporated in the revenue act of 1924 in the form it was passed by the house were adopted in a separate resolution. Under this plan if the resolution were passed'before June 15, the taxpayer could take that on that day a credit of 25 per cent of his March payment plus 2? per cent of his September payment'and in Decem ber 25 per cent' of that payment. If he had paid in full in March he would have refunded the 25 per cent credit." Wide Attention to' Money. New York.—The pronounced In money attracted wide attention in financial and business quarters during the past week. Call money on the New York: Stock Exchange dropped to 2 ,i:2 per cent/ while it was reported available in thb,_ outside market for two per cent. Time money, held at 4 3-4 per-cent for all maturities, was available for 30 dajys'at 4 1-2 per cent and for 'the 60 to 90 day period at 4 1-2 per cent. Bankers’ acceptances were’ slightly 'easier and the rate on commercial paper was shaded 1-4 of one per cent to 4 1-2 per cent. Bankers professed surprise at ■ the extent of the easing and its persist ence through the week. It was point ed out that temporary ease always follows a tax date, but such relaxations ordinarily are over in a few days. ' An exceptional feature of the recent tax payment, bankers said, was the fact that many persons delayed mail-- ing checks until the last moment and • many who usually paid in full Jtorch ■ 15 paid only an installment,' thus de creasing demands. on banks- . Eteavy gold imports and the smalb ness ,of the speculative demand for ■cerdit were Regarded as even more im portant factors. According to',', this view, the markets for securities, cot- 'tdn and grain have been thoroughly liquidated and a -large amount of credit liberated in the process. Mean while: the, rapidity of the business turn over,'due in part to prompt railroad service, has kept down the commercial demand for funds, while offerings of new securities have been small be cause manufacturers have not been in clined to enlarge plants under present conditions.

Measure, Providing Paid-Up .Life In surance, Faces Involved Situation In the Senate. Washington.—The house; for . the third time in four yearn' passed a' sol dier bonus bill. The vote was 355 to 54 and was taken after 40 minutes debate. Twenty speakers took the floor dur-. ing the'brief period, , however, advo cates of a full cash'payment option assailing Hie rule under which the bill was taken up, Which .,limited de bate and prevented the offering of amendments. "Die hards” of both .parties'declared against-the measure on principle, while proponentstorgued it was a measure which would become law. The measure provides for paid-up 20-year endowment life insurance pol icies and cash payments to. eteraus entitled to hot more than $60 in ad justed service credit. Provisions of the old bill for vocational- training and farm or home aid'are eliminated.. Tbo insurance provision is some what different from .the deterred pay- inent certificates proposed in the old bill and because of'these changed the' measure faces an involved Situation in the Senate. Members of that bddy have asked time , to ' udy the new bill, while others' already have pre-' pared different proposals." The finance committee, to which the'measure will be referred, is now occupied with the tax reduction bill.' '. Chairman Green- of the w.ays qnd means, who introduced the, bill dur ing the short debate preceding the vote, reminded the house th a t. the two previous measures had not been enacted into law “for th e ' reason known to all” and insisted this meas ure “will and must become law.”' When asked by Representative Bankhead, democrat, Alabama, wheth er he had conferred with 'president Coolidge as to the prospects for the bill becoming law,.

IO SPEED Bill .IS TOLD PASSAGE OF REVENUE MEASURE BEFORE JUNE 1 SEEMS UNLIKELY. STILL OPPOSES THE DONUS President Makes- It Plain At White House Conference He Stands By Mellon Tax Bill. Washington. — President Coolidge urged senate leaders to speed ,up con sideration of the revenue bill when informed by Chairman Smoot and Senator Curtis, republican,',Kansas, of the finance committee, that its passage before June I now seemed unlikely. Although, the soldier bonus bill was discussed at the White ,House con ference, Mr. Smoot said, it. was prob able this measure would be given priority over the tax reduction bill by the committee for immediate, action, and predicted- little time would be re quired for its disposal, in committee. In this connection, however, it was again made,plain at the White House that President Cooiidge ,opposed a soldier bonus and supports- the Mellon income-tax rates rejected by the house. Regarding the, ■ paid-up insurance bonus bill passed by the hpuse .and the revised revenue measure sent by that body to the senate, it was, reiter ated at the same time that the Presi dent would not declare , in advance of receiving either measure whether he will veto it or sign it. Senators Smoot aid Curtis went to the White House after a conference of republican members of the finance committee at which the program for fiscal bills was discussed, it waa In-, dicated the members favored taking up immediately the bonus bill mid then rounding out the revenue . measure which has been before the committee for more'than fwo weeks. ' Outside of the committee meeting, its members took occasion to place on each other the responsibility for delay in work of the revenue bilil V Chairman Smoot declared “exces sive talk for. reasons best known to the speakers has been-indulged in the committee: meetings with, the result we have' not yet taken up a major section of the bill.” : ” Senator Harrison, of Mississippi, a democratic member' of the committee, also explained of delay, in considera-, tfo nof the bill and remarked that “only two of the nine republican mem bers of the committee were present.” -. Democratic leaders generally indfe cated they would seek to have the tax bill kept to the front in committee. ■ Mr. Smoot predicted that if the rev enue measure were not passed before June I, when Congress plans to ad journ for the national party conven tions only a recess would be taken at that time, with adjournment put off until such time as the tax bill was, completed.

THREE PUNES TKKE THE e y e s o f t w e n t y -t h r e e - TIONS ARE TURNED ON a v ia to r s / NA- Aviators Land at Mather Field and Complete First Leg of Airway Chartering Trip. Santa Montica, Calif.—Three United States army aviators started around the world from here to chart the first globe-encircling airway. Eyes 'of '25 nations will be on the skies between now and August as the American fly ers whig their, way on the 30,000 mile voyage in an effort to accomplish what French and British airmen failed to do. The flight started at 9:32 o’clock when Major Frederick L. Martin left the ground. He was followed by -Lieutenant Lowell H. Smith 'and Lieutenant Leigh Wade. A score of army and civilian airplhhes followed as an escort, and soon disappeared in the clouds, to the northward. The fourth world criiiser,- delayed in delivery by the manufacturer here was, in San Diego. ■America’s attempt to map the first world airway will be carried out in a series of flights ranging , from 135 ipiles "to S60 miles. T he/first I jump. was from Clover field, here, .to Mather field, Sacra mento. ' ...;.. . ,v . , ■, The second will, be fponi Sajramento to Vancouver barracks,'/Washington, ^cross the river .from , Rortland, Ore.,- to ' Seattle where ■ Pontooons will be installed for marine, landing's until the flyers reach Calcutta, India. The be ginning of the- trip, expected to be only a' four and’ a half hours flight, proved -to be a beginning- of the many problems the airmen 'will have to face. Light rains fell here, a wall of clouds settled'down onthe Tehachapel and the San Joaquin and Sacramento valley were blanketed by clouds. It was feared they; would have to go above the clouds over Tehachapi Pass. If. they were forced to a high altitude, at the Pass, it might have meant a return to Santa. Montica. However, the weather broke favorably, and the aviators were able to get over the. mountains under the clouds. The cruisers plan to leave Seattle late this month, go through Alaskan and Aleution points and reach Chica go®, island "of Attu, . end of the first division by April 11. The second divisions of the flight- Japan- will come to an end at Kago shima, ‘Japan, near Nagasaki, April 26. The third division extends along the -.Chinese coast through to Cal cutta, India, at which arrival is scheduled May 28. Pontoons will be replaced at Calcutta by wheel landing geaf through the fourth division,. ar riving at I San Stegano, Turkey, June 19. Then through the fifth. division the aviators will fly over the Balkans to Vienna-thence down through France and to London, England, arriving July I, The sixth division is over Iceland, Greenland, down the Canadian coast to Washington, arriving about August 10, then the final leg will be across the United States back to Clover field. pioneer Preacher - Claimed By Death.

PUfHHlBW Takes the' “Big Four” Newspa pers to Task For Employing a “Subsidized Republican” Cor respondent, Whose Chief Duty According to Highlander, is to • Defame Mr. Bailey, Democrat ic Cdndidates>and Praise Mr- i Morrison and Mr. McLean. SAYS CHARLOTTE OBSERVER WINSTON JOURNAL, ASHEVILLE CITIZEN, AND WILMINGTON STAR, IF THEY WANT THE PEO PLE TO BELIEVE WHAT THEY PRINT ABOUT -MP^r BAILEY “WILL HAVE TO GET SOMEONE I BESIDES A SUBSIDIZED REPUB - LICAN TO DO THE WRITING." I 1 The Above Papers, 'Says the Hijh lander, '“Mist Have Let Their Hat rod For Mr. Bailey Blind Them t( Every Sense of Fairness and Prop nety, To Do Such a Thing.”I / (Shelby Highlander.) The Highlander in thiB Issue es pouses the cause of Hon. J. W. Bailey for the Democratic nomination fo- the Governorship of North CaTolina believing that it can in addition to supporting one of the -most brilliant men in -public life in the State, assist In a small way In helping to smash one of the most powerful political 1l ings • that has ever been known In the history Of- Hio State. At present Mr. Bailey is the Only avowed candi date in the field, though it is generally understood that Hon. A. W. McLean will m -a short tim e/m ake his an nouncement. 'if Mr. Bailey receives the nomina tion It .will be by the vote of i the rank and file, the present state or ganization and practically all of its henchmen already being lined Up to whoop it up for the machine candi- ,date, who as yet has failed to chirp. I Practically all of the daily, papers red for Mr-JBaiJey blind them to every | sense of fairness and propriety, to doj such a thing.. I -Surely, it cannot be said that th^j Charlotte Observer knew nothing-off Mr. Barkley's— record. The Review, was published In Charlotte.. It, sup-j ported Mr: Morehead, republican, also; of Charlotte,-against Mr Clyde Hoey,; Jemocrat, of Shelby. It was very gen-; erally circulated In Charlotte and in the 9th Congressional District. Is -it possible that the Charlotte Observer was not cognizant of-the forces-operat ing to defeat the democratic "candi date in that memorable struggle? ■ " Suppose we follow. Mr. Barkley's career a little further. What do we. find? After Mr. Hoey, the democratic can didate had defeated .Mr.. Morehead, the republican'. candidate supported Mr Berkley, the Charlotte Observer- put Mr. Barkley, on its staff and sent him over the State to report the speeches of far. Morrison, who was then a candidate for nomination -for Governor again Mr. Max Gardner and Mr. R. N. Page: A little later he Ib sent to Raleigh and - .becomes the political reporter of the Observer and other democratic 1 papers "mentioned herein. After arriving In Raleigh, Mr. Mor rison’s administration appointed- Mr. Barkley Secretary to the Shipping Commission. Hifj duties, so -we are informed, consist largely of drawing his breath and his salary of $1,500.00. per year, the while he puts in full time for hts newspapers, filling .them with praise of Mr. Morrison’s admin istration, predictions of victory for Mr McLean -and defeat for Mr. Bailey To cap the climax, in December, 1923. just as the present - campaign was opening, without any increase so far as known, in his duties-as Clerk of the Shipping Commission,- Mr. Barkley's salary whs raised by the' administra tion |3fl0.00,_making -his salary at present $1,800.00 per year. What does it mean? The-Charlotte Observer. Asheville Citizenr Winston Salem Journal, Wilmington Star, Mr Morrison’s administration and Mr Barkley, are all strong in their op. position to Mr. Bailey,. Can it be that this is the explanation! Surely no other JnfiuencerCould induce these democrats to make - common cause with a republican against- a fellow democrat. We still have faith that 'the rank and file of the democratic party want to see fair play,- and’,we doubt if many' will approve of such a- thing as this. Certain, it is, if the papers- referred to - want the ,reading public to. believe what they priht about Mr. Bailey, they will have to get some, one beside a subsized republican to do Jth writing. - BfPIISI MISSIOIIS BBEf ILI EnEHOEB THE WORK ON’ FOREIGN FIELDS SHOWS LARGE EXPANSION FROM FORWARD-MOVEMENT N&W COUNTRIES ENTERED / — Southern Forces Now Have Mission-, ary Fields on Every Side of - Globe With Audldnce of 900,000X100. , <1 «* Il- <1 - *1 I l «1 i i ’ « i « i « i < i m « i «**■ « i I r . « i New English College Cm Clothes ■':H - ' . : :t ■ ■ -V- I.'---. * '■ Y -7 •- -K. ... > ■■ r,:.-. :•/•••:•>-• •.

LOVE, Se> Foreign Mission Board Indicating the extent to which the foreign mission work of the Southern /Baptist Convention has been set for ward by tbe larger proceeds that have come to it from the Baptist 75 Million “Campaign, Dr. J. F. Love, secretary of the Foreign Mission Board, reports that since 1919; . when the Campaign was projected, the following increases in the work of that board have been I made; Number, of foreign mission aries on the field has increased Jrom 328 to 540, number, of native work- I ers from 627 to 2,820, number of churches from 505 to 891, number of t church members- from 49,659 to 103,328, number-- of self-supporting churches from 143 to 211, number of baptisms per year from 5,635 to '12,611, number Pt Sunday schools -from 760 to 1,447, number- of Simday school pupils from 36,11-5 to 67,407; number of day schools from 512 to 796, number, of pupils in . day schools from 15,722' to 32,789, and contributions per year from $173,372 to $437,668. I Baptisms Gain Rapidly Nearly as many persons have been' baptized by tjje missionaries on the foreign fields since the Campaign be gan- as had been baptized during all the seventy-five years' of missionary operations prior to-the inception of. this movement. Dr. Love,reports. This does not include Russia, where more than one million members have come into the Baptist churches in recent- years. Nearly one-fourth as many persons, were baptized on the foreign fields last year as there-were mem bers, all. told, on the foreign fields when the Campaign began. At ,the time the - CampaigUr began Southern Baptists were operating only In Mexico, Brazil, -Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, China, Japan, ‘,Africa and ItIay./ As a result of the-larger pro ceed^ made avaiable from the Cam* paignVthe board hks been enabled to enter'the new fields, of Spain, Jugo-. Slavia, Hungary, Roumanla, and Rus sia in 'Europe, and Palestine and-Si beria in Asia. This.giyes to Southern Baptists a; total missionary -audience of 900,000,006, : Oi^ more, than one-half the total population of the globe. . Older Fields Re-Enforced But of more significance than the entry into these new fields is the re; inforcement that - has come to the' work 'In the older fields, in-the esti mation of the ,officials of the Foreign Mission Board. This reinforcement consists not,only in sending out many new ,/.workers but providing larger equipment /in. the way of church houses, -mission residence^, SchooiIs, hospi tals, orphanges, publishing houses and the like. Summarizing the growth that has come- In the forces on the older fields since the Campaign began the following results are pointed out- Number of churches, 76% increase; number, of church members, 108% In crease; number of church.buildingB, 45% Increase; number of schools’ 55% increase; number of pupils-, 108% $40.00 KininKHiiiIiIiiimKKKKmKamKtKma OF COURSE WE HAVE THE -> ' \ HIGH WAIST, FORM FIT AND BELTED BACK SPORT 1 MODELS, TOO.
