When Slt on what he ain’t got, A Tale of The Courts. Herewith follows a tale of the courts as gleaned from the files of the Gastonia Gazette last week: Chapter r. The scene is the courtroom of Gaston Superior court Judge John M. Oglesby presiding ‘ in the course of an unimportant whiskey trail.” The dialogue pro ceeds somewhat in this fashion. Judge Oglesby: “ Gentlemen, there are too many of these one pint, one gallon fellows coming in to the court 011 liquor charges, and Ont enough big fellows. There is somebody making liquor on the big scale in Gaston county and peddling it out among these little fellows, and you are not getting the real offenders. Somebody is not doing his duty around here.” Solicitor John G. Carpenter: . "I agree with you heartily, judge. But I can’t go out and arrest them. I do not wear a badge.” Judge_Oglesby: "Over in Mont gomery county I sent a promiiieiit citizen to the roads for MS months and it broke up the liquor traffic jn that county. The trouble in this county is that the people do not want the liquor traffic broken up ” Former Solicitor George Wilson: Most of the liquor around here comes from up in the South moun tains from the Four County Cor ners.” Judge Oglesby: “Oh I hear that everywhere Down 111 Georgia they say the liquor comes froni North Carolina and in every sec tion of North Carolina some other community is blamed. No, the troubles is righi-n'erd'.''^ We are not getting the real high-ups in the li quor busiuess. These little one- pint fellows that are always getting jnto court are but the agents ot the big boys. Get them.” Chapter 2. The scene is any where the editorial page of the Gastonia Gazette goes. For follow ing this scene above the Gazette said editorially: If the court and solicitor really mean what they say and are realy in earnest about breaking up the liquor traffic in Gaston county, they might look up some of the re cords of unpunished cases right here. If they will go to the office of the clerk of the c urt and look in Book 10 , extcution docket, page 152, and in Book 10 , judgment docket, page 255, they will fiud the unfinished records of one of the most notorious bootleggers who ever, plied- his trade this county. At the April, 1926 term of Gas ton Superior court, he was fined $1,000 and costs, amounting to$i,- 154 80 and given a sentence of four months (later for some unexplain ed, cause changed to two months) on the roads in one case and fined the Costs, $39 30 , in another small case. Of the first sentence he . has paid the sum of $154-5° and has not served a minute of his road sentence. He has also paid the small costs in the second case. But tht record shows that not_ one cent of the thousand dollar fine has been paid and not an effort made to collect it. That has been more than two years ago'. The clerk’s office has no explanation, neither the sheriff. Chapter 3 . The scene is the front page of the Gastonia Gazette of the following day, whereon ap peared this news storv: Following the publication Tliurs- ofan article calling.for informa tion on the settlement of the Farns worth liquor case and as a result of investigations ordered by Judge I John M. Oglesby, presiding at this ! terra of Gaston Superior Court 1W. E. Farnsworth, convicted of j having liquor in possession for sale j at the April, 1926 terra of court and fined Jfi.000 and costs and sent enced to two 'months one the roads —the fine and road sentence never having been paid throughout the cwo years—walked into the office cj)f the clerk of court Friday morn iug and planked down a check for $1,000 satisfying the judgment a- gainst him. !He was relieved of serving the road sentence by the terms of a pardon issued by Gov ernor McLean ;n November, 1926, on recommendation of Solicitor Carpenter and others. That a parole had been issued oy the governor was not known until late Thursday afternoon, when it was unearthed in the of fice of the sheriff. . No notice of the application for the paidon having gone through the regular channels of the clerk’s office or of publication of the ap plication has been found. The rules of the governor’s office re quires that an application for a pardon be published in a newspaper of the county for two successive weeks, and that affidavits stating such has been done signed by' the publisher accompany the applica tion No such application was ever published in any Gaston coun ty newspaper. Furthermore the pardon wascon- diiioned on the payment of the $1,000 fine. The fine had not been paid, but the defendant was' en joying the conditions of the pardon. Chapter ,4 The Gaston court room again, JudgeOglesby speak ing to the clerk and other court officials! “I do not propose to run a cal- lection agency. When a,fine is im posed mr may "'ciJun^^bpose' fo see that'it is paid before the court adjourns or a road sentence im posed. “Gentlemen, the courts and the scrutiny now than at any other time. There is a growing disre spect for constituted authority. People are inclined to flout the law and it is because ot practice like this." Herwith ended the tale of the courts. But if you think there are portions of it not quite clear and needing a good deal more informa tion before there is any chance that they will be clear, and if you puzzled as to whys and wherefores and how these thifigs come about,' Wi can only say that so are we puzzled. But we can add that as is stands we think it a good ' tale and we know the Gasfonia Gazette deserves thanks for telling it—and foi first are pubhc-service. flhe Quaker Service. '.The Quakers are the most quiet ly-disposed people in lhe world; tljey are less inclined to quarrel wjth other folks and Chnrclies than apy other religious denomination, except, perhaps the Moravians. Republican Candidate Hoover is a Quaker, and with these people his nomination has not changed hi> status. He is still known simply as “Friend Hoover.” But little is- khpwn of the Quaker service, be cause the Quaker Church is 110 I often invaded by a curious public. In the first place, when the hour arrives for the Quaker service to begin, the doors of the church are closed and- there is 110 interruption by late comers, Friends or other wise. The Quaker is always ‘.‘011 time.” So the Washington crowd curious to see the Republican no mraee arrive, get out of the auto- mobile and make entrance into the church, knew the hour to be 011 hand; There was much more of a mob out on the streets than crowd ill The church, for the assembled congregation numbered just 86 peo ple' The Quaker services consists in Scripture leading and medita- ticn, with sermonettes by thosi of the members inclined to talk. One of the talkers at the first service Mr. Hoover attended as a “no minee,” was by a civil engineer, who spoke of pioneers in the re ligious and profess’oital life. He made summary of the triumphs of radio and aviation and .other mo- derp.accomplish meins.and impress, edj.the facts- that -thereyis yet-miieh work to do for theheligiqus piqtieer- Simmons, The Caitoon- ist. Senator Simmons has let it be known that he would like to have a cartoon drawn. His conception is this: a voter going to the polls with a Smith ticket in his band, with a keg of whiskey on his left shoulder, a tiget on his light shoulder, and an unwashed denizen from the slums, of Europe on his back. And. when The Senator gets his cartoon drawn, somebody might drawn another upon this concep tion: The Senator will be whis pering in the ear of his private lit tle Tammany in North Carolina and pointing to the big fellow from New York, and The Senator will be telling his little Tammany not to play with the big Tammany might" become corrupted. And then everybody will laugh for the next five days and five nights.— Hickory Record. .lyjho.are'Vo'serVe all jthe peoplenit'tlie crurnty- 'M-W heikymr’ liav You may skin a few people and get away with it, but when you try to skin all the people somebody may call your hand.

Political Foliy. From. Winston-Salem comes the anuouncment that the Republican organization will, in the event Gov. Smith is nominated at Houston, publish a campaign book contain ing attacks and cause for attacks upon the New Yorker. And the announcement contains this sign - ficant bit of news: “The criticisms made by Democratic speakers and newspapeis during the past few months would be quoted freely.” which goes' to show ,.ow the Stronp- ;st partisan big boys furnish thund er to the opposition. The Republicans, in general, have far more political sense than the Democrats. Some of them may not like a nominee, but they confine their pre-convention attack to remarks which not be damaging in case the man really is nymiuat- ed. But no.t so with the Demo crats. They dig up the meanest that can be found, and then stretch it to make it meaner. They do tbeir uttermost to reduce the strongest man in their own party to disrepute in order to prevent his being nominated, and then if he is nominated they eat crow with as, little enthusiasm as they ‘can pos sbly. get by with, Yet they are the most loyal of all Democrats.

While Secretary Hoover stays in Washington to confer with party leaders in preparations for his cam paign, rhft man Mr Hoover hopes to succeed begins a vacation in Wis consin by going fishing. Mr Coo- Iidge learned to fiffi on his trip to Paul Smith’s in the Adirondaeks two years ago. He pursued the angler’s Florida Situation. The Lakeland Ledger conies 011 with 30 |iages given over to adver tising |>roperty for taxes, and con siderably more than 50 per cent of of the listings are “Unknown’’ owners. That is testimonial of a situation which has had no equal in this nation. Those who have re cently returned from Florida ela borate npon that picture. Flori dians are not panic stricken Toey tliev are not going about the task of rebuilding on safer foundations. But the blow has undoubtedly been tremeuuous. Think of 30 pages of property tax- advertise ments in one county, and more than half of the owners unknown.

No need to pose, or to fish for votes as there seehied to be in 1926 and again in 1927.- No motive to consider except, the enjovment of the sport for its own sake.

The need for currying favor with the voters by seeming to play whether there is any desire to play or not is at an end ' Mr. Coolidge has onlv himself and his own pleasure to consider. 0 ( he wants to fi-h now it is a safe bet that he' does so because his inclinations naturally run that way. If he prefers to leave his rod at homp, there is again no penalty to pay. Tne burden has been lifted from his shoulders of his Secretary of Commerce. Mr. Hoov er is the man who must now ’ play a part. He is the one whose fishing must be motivated by a desire for political gain. He is the one who must angle whether or no. or pursue some other sport merely to show that he is human.

The credit belongs to a good Democratic lady. , Our Democratic friends received a very hot reception at Houston last week. Of course there was plenty to drink and some of the boys no doubt failed to find out when the convention opened or ■when it closed. Such is life at a National Democratic or Republican convention. Our Democratic friends staged a mighty love feast in Houston last week. They didn’t use cuspidors, but it was a regular knock down and drag out affair. The North Carolina delegates had a b.g share in the fight; while Georgia, Ala bama and South Carolina did their part. Taking it for granted that everybody WaS7Sober and in their right minds, we suppose the fight was between the wets and drys or the Catholics and Prtestants.

Houston, JLune 28. — Governor AIfrsd E. Smith, of New York, was nominated for President of the United States on the first ballot to night by the Democratic national convention. The votes which really turned the trick were contributed by Ohio who on the first call of the states, had voted almost solidly for Pom- erene. When the roll call was com pleted Smith had 724 2 3 With 733 I 3 needed to nominate, the chairman of the Ohio delegation, obtaiuing recognition in competi tion with the spokesmen of other states, who also wanted to change their votes to the winner, announc ed a vote of 45 from that state for Smith. That gave him 768 2-3 . After Ohio had changed her vote to 45 for Smith aud 3 for Pomerene the totals for the first and ouly ballot stood Smith, 768 2-3 ; Hull, 71 5 8; Reed 4S;‘George. 54 1 2 ; Pomerene, 3 ; Jones, 43; Woollen, 32 ; Harrison, 20; Ayers, 20; Watts, iS; Hitchcock, 16 ; Donahey1 5; Thompson 2 Houston, June 29—Joseph T.

Queen Bess Kennen, Republican national committeewoman of North Carolina and a former resident of Indianapolis, who was in Indiana polis Wednesday, on her way hotne from the G. 0. P. national conven tion at Kansas City. “The state is enthusiastic over Herbert Hoover and his progres sive program,” Mrs. Kenuen said. “In the event if Al Smith, of New York, is nominated on the Demo cratic ticket, I feel sure the state will vote the Republican ticket, something it has not done for thirty years. 1 * Within the last tour years, North Carolina has developed into a re cognized textile'and industrial cen ter. ^ Mamifacturers1 she pointed out favor the high protective tariff such as is advanced in the Republi can platform.

The state tax commission is seeking new sources of revenue. It believes that additional revenue is needed but does not consider it wise policy to increase the present leviest The commission considers this its greatest problem. Next m order is reduction of bonded in debtedness in the various counties. The countv authorities also must be brought to a realization that the county finance act and county gov ernment laws are on the statute books for a purpcse and must be obeyed. The voters in November will have the opportunity to register their sentiments on one proposal which is designed to produce ad ditional revenue without increasing taxation rates. This is the propo sal which is designed to produce additional revenue without increa- ing taxation rates. This is the proposal to separate tangible and intangible property for the purpose of taxation. As matters now stand the taxes which must be paid on intangible property in most sections of the state amount to virtual con fiscation of income. This is not tt ue of the” tangible property, for very IitrIe property is listed at figures approximating the real va lue. Intangible property, however, would have to be listed at its real value. When a security is paying six percent and the tax rate is three percent or higher it means that a major portion of income must be paid as taxes. The result has been that owners of intangible property have- solved the. ^maxter Tqr-them selves by not listing theirsecnrities. At the present time the actual va lue of listed intangible property in North Carolina is less than the to tal of bank deposits in the state, and this is but one form of intan gible wealth. It is a generally accepted fact that intangible property worth hundreds ot millions is escaping taxation in North Carolina because property owners do not list their holdings. The object of the con stitutional amendment is to allow the’ use of a variable scale in taxing intangible property. It would be the idea to ijx an intangible rate which would not amount the con fiscation of income, and it is be lieved if thousands of holders of intangible property will list it for taxation, thereby increasing re venue to that extent. It is hard to say how the com mission should tackle the job of re ducing bond issues of the counties. Many of the counties have not reached their bond limits and $15,- 500,000 was added to /he total dur ing the past year While the total bonded debt of the 100 counties of the state is high, the situation would not be as dangerous as it is if the bonds were issued for lawful purposes. It is a matter of record that millions of dollars have been issued in bonds to cover up short ages in revenue because the coun ties were oot operated on a sound budgetary basis and the end of the year brought deficits in operating expenses, if the law is observed, should be cared for in the budget and the tax rate should be suffi cientiy high to bring in enough revenue to pay them. If the taxes are not paid the sheriff of the county should advertise and sell the property in accordance with the law. There are two ways for the com mission to proceed in cases, where the law is hot being observed. The first is to invoke the penalties pre scribed in the county {!nance act when countv officials fail to per form their duties in accordance with the people through every- possible agency the purpose's of the couutv government laws sb that they will kuow what the officials are supposed to do and will be in a positiou to check on their activi ties. It also would be an excellent plan, when the commission dis covers county officials who are pot performing their work properly,. to: have a definite statement rof.-the shortcomings of the county officials printed in the newspaper or neWs- pacers of the county. This woiild inform the people and probably would tend to keep the commis sioners of the county within the laws. It is a well known fact that, county commissions often ,violate the laws—and Guilford’s county commission is no exception. — Greensboro Record. In Behalf of Father. Some one is insisting that it is time for the world to stop and erect a monument to Father, to show him a little more: appreciation and let him know that, after all, lie is not so dispised aud contemiued as society would make it appear to him T h isisn otad ay for much’ep- thi onement of the old man. We still have enough of humanity . and heartfulness left in us to remember Mother, to have a Mother’s Day and to drop a tear when memory is quickened and the past becomes peopled again with her presence, and, In estatic recollection, she walks by our side and. 'talks and croons and caresses, but for Fath-. er, modern sentiment is more stu pid than active. The head of the house has hi A problems to face, his Iiarq, persis. tent, ever-challenging problems Jpf which only fatherii know, and stress of providmg for the-ear" tbly wants of those for whose com ing into the world he is responsible aud for whose well being his con science is always awakened. , Gome what may, be it sunshine or shadow, health or distemper, be has to go to work aud stay at it, because somebody at home is look ing to nitn to bring in the bacon at night, else mouths remain unfilled and little bodies lack for that sus tenance they must have. And that is but one of a catalog of burdens that constantly reside within him and press down upon him. He has, usually, to do his work aud face his enigmas without sympathy. The wife and mother has little time to be plagued with him. Sbe is too busy with her own duties and has so many of her own pecu liar cares that little opportunity comes to her even to enter into the difficulties that attach to the life of the pater familias. And so it comes about that the old man, cuffed and kicked about in the rough-and-tumble contests of experience, unsympathized with at home or abroad, goes daily to his accustomed .tasks, plodding through them like good soldiers go into and through the tragedies of their battles, and while society lifts the Mother upon the pedestal she deserves and pjayfully flirts with Childhood, it has little time of in clination to fool away any of its thoughts or esteem for Father.— Charlotte News.

Ou account of its great Ienglh not one out a hundred of of our readers would undertake to wade through the platform adopted by national Republican convention at Kansas City and we are attempt ing to give only a few of its mos.. salient features. Touching agriculture—reorgani zation of marketing systems on sounder and more economical lines and the creation of a farm board with power to set up fanner own ed and controlled corporations, to preveut and contral ■ surplusses through orderly distribution. The platform calls for a vigor ous enforcement and observance of the eighteenth or prohibition a mendmant. ' It declares for honesty 111 gov ernment and the appointment of officials whose integrity cannot be questioned. Economy, houesty and !decency in the conduct of political cam paigns is declared for with contri butious for common goods or not at all. The platform pledges the Repub lican party to live tip to the high standard of puolic economy set up by President Coolidge. The foreign policies of the Cool-' idge administration, mentioning our policy in Latim America and the treaty under discussion re nouncing war was also endorsed. Continuation of the reduction of the public debt was approved and ShoukLBe reduced further as rapid- ' Further tax reduction is called for as conditions'of the treasury may from time to tifhe allow. Reaffirmation of the Republican party’s policy in the protective tariff aud support of legislation to give the farmer full benefit under it is urged. Continued opposition to can-.ella Hou1 ot debts owned the Uuiteci States by European powers is re commended. Tlie platform calls for stabiliz - tion of the coal mining indtis r. which will u o k iustice to Loh iniueis aud operators alike, as well as to consumers. Continued ayp.opriations for highways and road building com mensurate with need and resource.1. Continuation of efforts to main tain high starudards of living and high wage scale and means provid ed to preveut excess of injunctions or amendments of regulatory laws to meet changes iu public demands, trade conditions and character com petition Contiued development of inland and intra coastal waterways to give mid-West cheaper transportation to the sea for/its products. Full and adequate relief for all disabled veterans. Maiutenance of the navy in all classes of ships to full ration ac cording to the Washington treaty. For national defense drafting of resources as well as men in time, of national emergency. It would be well for those 'who have the time to take the platform; study aud digest it.

It is said that there are only five men in-the iace for sheriff and six for treasurer in Davie, two gentle men saying they are not running for either office. Dr. J. H. Barnhardt. of Winston- Salem, seems to think Al Smith is going to be defeated tor President this fall. Thousands of other good Democrats think the same way a- bout this matter. • We see in our fovorite newspaper that Cam Morrison is goijg out and stump the country for Al Smith. Who is Cam Morrison, and what has he done that this af fliction should be sent upon him.. A few Al Smith Democrats are insisting that every Democrat in Davie will vote for Al when elec tion day comes. It would be hard to convince The Record that all the Democrats in this section were ilars. A few Democrats in Mocksville are for Smith for President, but if all those who say they will not sup port Al mean what they say, Davie countv will give Hoover a majority of between twelve and fifteen hund red. Goods Box Whittier. There are good wet men, and good dry men; good Catholics and good Protestants. And they will all show their faith at the ballot box. Now. watch and see. No one can blame a Catholic or a wet man or woman for voting for Smith. For he is a good wet man, and a good Catholic. And he doesn't deny it. In a Republic like ours, the peo ple, the voters, will be held re sponsible for the burdons it heaps upon them. They, and not the office seekers, should name the can didates, and pledge them. It is the State, county and town taxes that burdens the masses, and not National taxes. It would not be ;.o, if the two parties were more equally divided in this State. As it is. it is more of an oligarchy than a Republic down at Raleigh. Well. Smith is the nominee. The only plea his supporters gave is: ' He is the only man we can hope to elect. ’ ’ I fee I sorry for such a party, and hope many of its able, clean, smart men don’t feel bad. It is getting time for the Ameri can people to be learned another lesson. And they will when they elect Gov Smith of New York. The issues in this campaign will be prohibition, civil and religious li berty—what our forefathers fought bled and died for. I heard one good man say today that he thoughi Smith would make one of the ablest executives that we have ever had. Now, that is the kind of men that are trying to run our governments in this country. Some Democrats are saying that Hoover is as much Democrat as he is Republican. That being the case, all prohibition Democrats should vote for Hoover — a man who doesn’t drink and who is not. ad vocating the repeal of the prohibit ion law. Six candidates for county treasur er, five candidates for sheriff and two for register of deeds m Davie county. The Republican primary and county convention the last of this month will no doubt be a very warm affair. It is hoped that the delegates to the convention will re- main-as cool as possible and not stage such a scene as was witness ed in the Houston convention by the North Carolina Democrats. A leading Democrat of Winston- Salem was in town one day last week and remarked that so far as he knew there was but one promi nent Democrat in his city who was going to vote for Al Smith for pre sident. A traveling salesman who /travels. North Carolina from the mountains to the sea, says that out of every two hundred Democrats he meets only one of them will sup port Smith. Straws generally tell which wav the wind is blowing. It has been ieported by someone who doesn’t know what he is talk ing ^about, that 'Hoover and his jvife are Catholics. Mr. Hoover was born a Quaker and has been a member of the Friends. church since old enough to belong to a re ligious body. Mrs. Hoover was a member of the- Episcopal church before marriage, but since has join ed the Friends. Democrats who are looking for Catholics can find two in the persons of Mr. and Mrs. Al Smith, of. New York. D ry The Straw Ballot. Votes in The Record’s straw bal lot continue to come in very slow despite the fact that the primary and convention is less than three weeks off. * In the sheriff’s race Graham is still in the lead with 15 votes to space over his nearest competitor, C. V. Miller. Smith is running third, just three votes behind Mil ler, with Cope eight votes behind Smith. Everhardt has but three votes. For register of deeds, Ijames is leading Leo Brock by 59 votes. In the treasurer’s race Stone- street is leading Cook by 43 votes, while Dyson is six votes behind Cook. Walter Call has three votes and Frank Smith one vote. Sena in your votes before the primary. Leaders In Texas To Bolt. Dallas, Texas, July, 2 —An nouncements that they would not vote for Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York for presideut were issued here todav by Thomas B. Love, candidate for lieutenant gov ernor on the democratic ticket, and by Mrs. Edith F. Wilmans, who seeks the democratic gubernatorial nomination in the Iuly primaries. Mr. Love, former democratic na tional committeeman from Texas, declared “a voter has as much right to bolt a platform that was adopted with his knowledge and without his protest, and said that for the first time in 40 years he would vote agaiust the'democratic party. He is a leader of the ultra dry element of Texas democracy. Mrs. Williams, former member of the legislature, said she felt it would,be better for the party to fail ‘‘than to succeed in forcing upon good citizens a man who by his acts as governor of New York had nullified the prohibition amend ment” it that state.

Settled in a Broad and Dignified Way. To the Editor of The Observer: I wish to commend the wise and wonderfully discriminating editorial appearing in The Observer this morning (the morning after), en titled the “Triumph of Personal and Political Strategy. ” 1 Some speculation has been express ed among Smith rooters for this pre sidency as to how you would recon cile your pre convention position with your well-known party loyalty, in case the New York Governcr should receive the nomination. The editorial in question settles that matter in a broad and dignified way. The fact is that when one has prin ciple on his side he experiences little difficulty in reconciling any position he may take with the hignest ideals and purposes. Mr. Smith has crossed the ditch, but the ocean is wide. The moral forces of the Nation will not sur render before any political machine and set aside lightly the principles for which we have been fighting for many years. I would have had in finitely more respect for the Demo cratic party if the convention at Houston had written a wet plank in- co the platform, with Covernor Smith as the nominee,' and gone to the country on the real issue that is involved, rather than play the silly ruse of pledging Democracy to the enforcement of the Eighteenth A mendment and then nominate a man who is avowedly against that A- mendment. Such an act would have been a lesser insult to the intelli gence of the Nation than the thing that was done. These gentlemen who are climb ing'on the band watton and keeping the wi-ies hot into Albany pledging Nnrth Carolina to Governor Smith next Fall, are due to have a rude a- wakening. We are not going to do it,Respite all this talk of religious bigotry and prohibition fanatacism. Twenty years ago North Carolina voted by a tremendous majority for prohibition, and we’ll do it again. Mr. Smith has been frank enough within the last 10 days to state em phatically that he stands for tl e modification Of the Eighteenth A- mendment. The politicians took him with that avowed understanding. I respect him for bis franknesMie did not deceive anybody's mind as to what shall be the result in this country if he should be any ill chance be :elected. The issue is clearly drawn. J. H.

Trent is asked by Campbell to force a confession from Payson Grant, whom he accuses of having crookedly obtained all of Frnii k Sutton's property and then married the latter’s wife.

CHAPTER V— Continued —11 — Payson Grant, dancing with Kath- : ;yn Holland, smiled jovially as he I passed and repassed. Already Pay- : sou was filled with the courage ■ guarded by a green revenue stamp. Katlra was troubled by his new hab its. They made him look older; he grew coarser. She had told him not an Iionr ago that he was drinking liiaiseli to death. The trouble with that sort of dissolution was that it lingered unduly and was not pic- I tnresipie. Paycon would probably de velop into a llabby and fleshy old I aura. Conscious that she had been silent | for a long time and that Anthony I Trent was looking about him curious- I Ir, Mrs. Grant, with whom he was I dancing, became sprightly and con- I versiuionnl. "These are not the sort of people I who interest you,” she said. “I want ed you to come when some very i diaruhisg friends are visiting us. You I west Iiavc thought Mr. Gimbert was ; terribly inquisitive at dinner.” "I Iihe curiosity in others,” Trent i said. “It’s the most self-revealing [ quality there is. Mr. Gimbert, for in- | stance, gave me the impression of be- I ing a sort of amateur detective. Or I perhaps he’s one of the profession- I nisi” He did not take his eyes from her I is be said this. If she lied he would i know it. "Cnbapplly he is Payson’s god- [ father,” she laughed, “and has to be I humored on that account. Most of I these people are the sort of old friends who assume they are welcome I because they have known Payson or me betore we were too old to resent them, a dreadful amount of non sense is talked about old friends. Just I look at this man coming in.” The new guest interested Trent. He had that square, aggressive carriage which is seen most often on those Stho have served their country on the police force. He moved with a pon derous solidity, and yet his furtive, dark eyes and nervous hands con- I tradicted the impression his figure I and walk gave the observer. His I clothes were not of a fashionable I cut “Another old friend?” Trent asked I lightly. “Simply a business acquaintance,” she returned. When the music ceased, I Payson Grant introduced the stranger I as Mr. Yeatman, an accountant, who had come to help him over some South American business. As he said ■ it !Tent noticed that Katica Grant I frowned. Mr. Yeatman, despite his t itSlO-Sason name, had a curious J tacjI inllection that puzzled Trent. I It teemed almost certain that the Ian- PaSO he used was not that to which I "s had been bred. Trent felt almost certain that the furtive Yeatman was an operative I tom an agency. For himself he expe- vicnced no fear. Uis finger-prints or cruhcn measurements were in no oihcial bureaus. It was for the “coun tess" he was anxious. If the stranger were, indeed, a de* cctive lie would probably begin with io servants; and the presence of an 'cn, like Mademoiselle Dupin, would -cm worthy of investigation.

There was something of a child in the old man. He was hardly able to conceal bis triumph. “They can’t fool me,” he began. “They forget I was a ranger once and an old Indian fighter. They couldn’t keep it from me. That fellow, who don’t know as much as I do about double-entry, is a detective. Natica got him here so that gang operating along the coast wouldn’t get a chance. She says there’s a million dollars rep resented in jewels at the dinner-table. This fellow Yeatman had planned to be introduced as an architect going She Had Told Him Not an Hour Ago That He Was Drinking Himself to Death. to make alterations. He’d been read ing it up in a book and could have gotten by. What does Payson do but forget and call him an accountant. No wonder I got him all tangled up in figures.” “I suppose he has his suspicions already?” Trent hazarded. “Sure,” said Gimbert. “He saw he couldn’t put anything over on me. He says the Spring Lake robberies were all inside jobs.. He was asking Natica what she knew about the butler and his two deputies.” Gimbert’s eyes sparkled. “I’ve always wanted to be i- one of those swell house-party rob beries. This place ought to be a mag net. If you were one of those so ciety crooks wouldn’t you try to get an invite here?” , , “It would be an ideal place," Trent conceded. “You understand," Gimbert warned him as he went to the door, “that it is all private what I’ve told you?” “Naturally,” Trent returned. “Good night” Things looked very dark for Made moiselle Dupin. For all Trent knew, she might have been traced here. In that case, nothing could save her. He determined to use Thorpe as a mes senger early on the morrow. At least, she must be- warned. The admirable butler, came unbid den, next morning to know what Mr. Trent desired for breakfast, and whether he would go downstairs or have it served in hi- room. Thorpe had found In the American one be might serve and still keep his self- respect “I’ll go down,” Trent said. “By the way,” he added, “I want this note taken to Mademoiselle Dupin.” It was written in French. She was distressed when sue read it “Be very careful,” the note ran. “There is a detective here calling himself Yeatman and pretending to be a business frjend of Mr. Grant I must see you. Teil bearer at what hour you can come to me.” Mademoiselle Dupin turned to the waiting Tborpse. “I will discuss the matter with Mr. Trent at ten o’clock.”- The butler left her firm In the con viction that some Monetary consider ation was the cause of these conver sations. Gentlemen of leisure, as ha knew, would be indiscreet. Mademoiselle Dupin entered Trent’s sitting room at ten: Although she looked worried, there was an absence of the black despair which, the pre vious day, had had her in its grip. “In twenty minutes,” she said, “I l-.rve to give Mrs. Grant a lesson. Your letter alarmed me very much.” “I only meant it to put you on your guard,” he answered. “There may be no danger of your being recog- uized." “There is always danger,” she said somberly. “How shall I recognize him? There are so many strangers in the house.” “He’s about five feet nine inches high and chunky enough to weigh two hundred pounds. Coloring dark. Gray-black hair and full lips partly hidden by a mustache. Uneven teeth. The left ear is a quarter inch lower than the right. He carries himself erect and squarely. His age is prob ably forty. The impression he gives is one of great irritability of temper. He has many little nervous habits which, somehow, are not in keeping with Iiis rugged, solid, policeman-like frame." “You must have watched him keen ly,” she said. “I did so because he was scrutiniz ing me and askiDg my host questions. I looked so closely because he was one of the few men I have disliked on sight.” There was a look of acute distress on her face. “You can’t mean you think he may have come for you?” Her concern for his safety provoked a strange gratification. “I don’t think so; but that may mean nothing. Think of my life, Mademoiselle. I have taken what I wanted and played my wits against the police, and I have always won. The odds always turn. It may be I take too much comfort In tkiuking that because I have quit the game I shall be secure.” “You have the air of one who has yet a great destiny,” she said. “I do not see you coming to an unhappy fate.” She looked at the clock. “Mj time is up.” “But you need not go without see ing Yeatman,” Treat said. “He is in the garden now, looking up here ap parently.” From a table drawer Trent took a pair of powerful binoculars and hand ed them to the “Countess.” “He has turned his back to me,” she commented. “Yes,, he stands square and menacing like a police man.

Sweet clover will grow almost any where, providing there are more than 17 inches of .rain and sufficient lime In the soil. However, In spite of ,the fact that sweet clover is a hardy plant, it is not always easy to get a stand. In a new publication just issued by the United States Department of Ag riculture os Leaflet 23-L, “Sweet Clov er,” some of the essentials of sweet clover culture and utilization are dis cussed by Dr. A. J. Pieters, agronom ist of the bureau of plant industry. A copy of the leaflet may be secured upon request. Three Essentials. Three things are especially impor tant In securing a stand of sweet clover, according to Doctor Pieters. They are lime, inoculation and a firm seed bed. It may not always be nec essary to neutralize an acid soil, but sweet clover commonly must have lime if it is to do well. Inoculation of the seed or soil is advisable where the crop is to be grown on land that has grown neither alfalfa nor sweet clover before. A firm seed bed is nec essary. Many failures have been shown to be due to lack of rolling or compacting the soil after plowing. Sweet clovermay be utilized as hay, pasture, and for soil improvement purposes. As a hay crop, however, it is not equal to alfalfa or red clover. As a pasture, a good stand of sweet clover in its second season will fur nish more grazing than any other plant known. It is also an excellent crop for soil improvement, and for tunately it will serve both as a pas ture and a soil improving crop at the same time. In some sections it has been found that the increased yields of sugar beets due to sweet clover were practically the same when the crop was turned under after being pastured as when the entire crop was turned under. Value as Soil Builder. The value of sweet clover as a soil improver lies In its ability to take nitrogen from the air through the nodules on the roots, to store this in its thick roots and in the stems and leaves, and to deliver it by rapid de cay when it is turned under. Much, if not most of the nitrogen in the top growtli of the first season moves into the roots in the fall and is stored there. The new growth in the spring is made from this stored nitrogen, and in April and early May, as the nitro gen in the tops increases, that in the roots decreases. This feature and the fact that it starts growth very early make sweet clover an ideal green manure for com. It is not necessary to wait for a large spring growth be fore turning under; usually there will be no more nitrogen May 15 than there was April 15, and the field can be plowed just as soon as plowing can be done after a few inches of growth have been made to -'nsure that the tops will die and not come up In the corn.

Jersey Black Giant Is Preferred for Its Meat The market for poultry often dis criminates against black fowls, which has perhaps caused some breeders to stick to other colors when they in reality prefer blacks. This has been one of the greatest boons to the Jer sey Black Giants. They are black, to be sure, but the ideal Giant quill is White where it enters the skin, and once dressed there is none of, the dis agreeable color remaining that hap pens when other black breeds or va rieties are dressed. Add to this one fact the several others such as growth, heavy weight, vigor and beauty, not forgetting that the Giant is the largest of smooth-legged chickens, and the poultry raiser has a bird hard to beat. »|l >X< *$■ >1« 1% *£“$**¥* I S h o r t F a r m N o t e s I * ❖ One-fourth of American soil is best suited for growing trees. • * • Do not let cattle into the wood lot to destroy young seedlings. * * • Milk, cod liver oil, corn products, and leafy green food make chickens grow.• • • The European corn borer can be controlled, but^it will take time, plus concerted and concentrated effort * *' • Since 1850 the leading states In the production of maple sugar and sirup have been, in order, New York, Ver mont and Ohio.• * * With sweet corn, it has been ob served that hills planted with large kernels mature quicker than those that grow from small seed of the same variety.* * • One way for farmers to avoid the expense of buying fence posts in the future, is to plant a small area of land to black locust European larch, or white cedar.

(Prepared by the United Stales Department ot Agriculture.) Bacterial canker of tomatoes, which has been known as “the Grand Rap ids disease,” from the locality In Michigan where It was first observed in 1910, has since been reported from many regions including the Far South and West It may appear either in the fields or in greenhouses and dam age may range from negligible injury to such complete destruction of the crop as to cause serious economic loss to growers. Mary K. Bryan, of the bureau of plant industry, recommends thorough sterilization of tomato seed as a control method. The disease is believed to have been scattered also by the shipment of young plants which do not show infection at that stage of growth. In Circular No. 29-C, “Bacterial Canker of Tomatoes," just published by the United States Department of Agriculture, this author gives a brief history of the disease,' discusses its economic Importance and describes the appearance of diseased plants as distinguished from those affected with other tomato wilts. The bacteria which cause the dis ease enter the fruit through the stem, without external signs of injury, and infect the seed. When cut open the fruit shows yellow discoloration but no rot Sources of infection aside from the seed, especially seed bed and plant bed infection, are being stud ied. “From all points of view,” the author remarks, “it is wisest to avoid old seed beds, to use only clean, fresh soil in growing tomato plants, and to rotate crops where the disease has occurred.” Tomato growers may procure Cir cular 29-0 by applying to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C- MeansbyWhichPotato Wart Fungus Is Spread Some of the means by which the po tato wart fungus is disseminated are discussed in Technical Bulletin 56-T, “Factors of Spread and Repression In Potato Wart,” a new publication just issued by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. The viability of the fungus in the soil and under vari ous conditions of artificial storage is also discussed. New data are pre sented on the resistance of the rest ing sporangia to moist and. dry heat, and to such fungicides as mercuric chloride and formaldehyde as used in seed potato disinfection. It is shown that the restrictions on the growing of any but immune vari eties of potatoes within 'the areas quarantined on account of wart, and on the movement of any potatoes whatsoever out of these areas, have apparently prevented the disease from spreading. As no resistant varieties of potatoes have been found, the continued cul ture of potatoes in wart-infested areas may result in perpetuation of the wart fungus. However,' further experiments are necessary to deter mine this and the period of survival of the fungus in the soil under natural conditions. A copy of the bulletin, which is pri marily of interest to plant patholo gists, may be obtained by writing to the United States Department of AgrI- culture, Washington, D. C. Profitable to Dispose of AU Two-Year-Olds After a number of tests for tuber culosis in poultry flocks, the Nebraska state department of agriculture and the agricultural college recommended that poultry, excepting for valuable breeding stock on poultry farms, bo disposed of at two years of age ot less. The practice will not only help control the disease, but it will also help increase the profits of the farm poultry business. Most hens pass their most profitable production period dur ing their second year. If poultry raisers will follow this suggestion and then raise their chicks by artificial means on ground where chickens have not run to any extent, avian tuberculosis can be very nearly stamped out in every state, and the poultry business can become still more profitable at the same time. As indi vidual hens quit laying for the sea son in the spring, they should be dis posed of Immediately. The practice will not only save feed, but it will clean up the place so the young stock will have plenty of room next fall and winter. Poultry prices also generally go down during the summer and the hens marketed early will bring more per pound. , Adding Alfalfa Meal to Mash Ration Is Favored The agricultural experiment sta tions throughout the country have shown that alfalfa leaves and'high- grade alfalfa meal are rich in mineral and have a relatively high vitamine A content, The vitamine A content pre vents a disease similar to roup and is conducive to better hatches. The addition of IG per cfeht of al falfa meal to the mash ration does not seem to make too much fiber. This is especially true if the alfalfa meal is allowed to replace a portion of the bran. Second or third cutting alfalfa hay may be fed to chickens with a minimum of waste by placing it in racks that are made of poultry net ting.

The rat kangaroo looked at the tree kangaroo and they both shook their heads as though to say: “Poor old inhabitant—his brain is a little queer.” But while they were thinking this and saying nothing aloud, the oldest inhabitant went on talking. “You see, people from all over the world come to see us. There are peo ple who speak different languages, and stand in front and chat about us. “Ah, the many languages which have been used in describing our charms!” And the .kangaroo who bad lived longest in the zoo waved his tail de lightedly. “We have seen people from the south, the north, the east and west, and even from the center.” “Whatever do you mean by the cen ter?" asked the tree kangaroo. “I mean here, of course,” said the oldest inhabitant. “I am judging the other directions from where I stand.

Enthusiasm is especial ly shown for white accessories with jthe summer costume. So it is that I white kid shoes have come into their own again with a return of the white {felt hat. There are many whites this season from which to choose; so that one is sure to get a pleasing tone. There is the dead white, the jade white, the cream and the ivory white. The most universally favored white is found in either the cream or the Ivory. Slioe i I manufacturers are making their kid shoes pretty much of these whites. The newest modes are either all white or delicately appliqued and piped in pastel colors, or black, blue or brown trimmed. White kid sports shoes trimmed jvith brown lizard are very smart, while white kid trimmed with black glace kid is perhaps a little more popular owing to its accommo dation to any costume. For the dress ier shoe there is the single thin strap slipper very delicately piped, ap pliqued and heeled with gold, or the white kid pump with inset of gold or color, or with a charming white and color smalt kid bow in place of a bucitle. Very dainty are the new white kid shoes for the sweet girl graduate. They are in a one-strap model of pump type, with the thin strap in a delicate color, and the shoe piped in gold. Or they may be all white In tiie same model delicately modeled to the foot. In fact so dainty are these new models that brides are abandoning the traditional white satin slipper for the more practical white kid pump. Lovely as any silks are these new flannels, some of which show florals printed on creamy white. In weight they are as light as anfr cliallis. Be ing of 54-inch width, they cut to ex cellent 'advantage, especially if one is making a sports suit like the one in the picture to the left, where the wide cape scarf requires a good-width ma terial. Note the handsome white kid shoes worn with this ensemble. They have a medium heel and stress the cbic one strap mode. A smart three-piece sports ensemble has a white flannel coat in three- quarter length, posed over a two-piece frock of striped flannel, with the skirt in.plaits and the stripes running ver tically, while the jumper is fashioned with the stripes running horizontally. .With this ensemble, as shown to the right, in the picture, white shoes are also worn. (©, 1928. Western Newspaper Union.) “And that’s fine. We hear their stories. Its far greater and more su perior to hear of many journeys than it is to know of just one which we have taken ourselves." The oldest inhabitant certainly did bring out his point, and the tree and rat kangaroo visitors wished they hadn’t boasted so much. “It’s fine,” he continued, “to be talked about in many languages.” “Soon we. will be as lucky as you are,” the tree kangaroo said. The oldest inhabitant smiled a kan garoo smile. He bad made them feel less . superior, which was what he wanted, and now he felt he could sat isfy his curiosity and hear about the trip they had just taken in coming to the zoo. He had seen to it that they wouldn’t boast by making out his life to be ho interesting. “Who came along on this trip?” he asked. “Well,” said the tree kangaroo, “there was the rat kangaroo and then there was myself.” "That’s right,” smiled the oldest in habitant, “begin with yourselves.” The tree kangaroo felt ashamed once more and began again. “There were two rabbit-eared bandi- cots, two rufus-necked wallabies, two Tasmanian black phalangers, four marsupial mice, two water mongooses, two West Australian rat kangaroos— one my friend here—three yellow- booted rock wallabies, twelve snake- necked turtles, six blue-tongued liz ards and ten dragon lizards.” - The tree kangaroo paused for breath. “Any more?” asked the oldest In habitant, as if he bad not been in the least impressed by the number. “That’s all,” said the tree kangaroo, and the rat kangaroo agreed by nod ding his head and saying: “That’s all, but when we were all on one boat it seemed enough.” “Well, I give you all a cordial wel come,” said the oldest lnliabitant witb a low bow!

Electricity may be supplied to farm homes either by individual plants, by community power plants, or by a com pany which operates the lighting or trolley, system in some nearby city. Wherever it has been installed it has brought innumerable conveniences with it. No one is more ready than the busy farmer’s wife to avail her self of electric aids if she can obtain them. Californians have been espe cially quick to see what electricity could do for the fprm home in addi tion to lighting it and operating power farm machinery. A recent report from California received by the Unit ed States Department of Agriculture states that there is more electricity used on the» farms of that state than In ail others put together.

Lincoln, Neb.—The annulment of a divorce 18 years after Her hns- bhnd’s death and 44 . years after the decree was granted is sought 'by Mrs. Nancy E. Dermit of South Sioux City, Neb. Mrs. Dermit1 who is seventy-two years old, was not aware until after the death of her husband, a Civil war veteran, that she had been divorced from him. In 1S84, the couple had trouble and separated and Mrs. Der- mit began suit for divorce. Before the decree was granted, however, there was a reconciliation, and they began living together again, two more children being born. Mrs. Dermit did not notify her at torney to cease efforts to obtain the divorce, she says, and he went ahead and got it It is now held that the divorce was illegal without her ap pearance or testimony, but attorneys cannot find any way to prove that she and her witnesses were not pres ent The judge who granted the divorce and the clerk of the court are now dead. Mrs.- Dermit cannot go into court to have the divorce annulled, as her husband would have to be named defendant In that case. A suit cannot be brought directly against the district court. When Dermit died In IOlO1 Mrs. Dermit applied to the pension depart ment and I*, was then that the divorce was . revealed. The couple lived in Iowa for years and that state recog nizes a common law marriage, which their union was after the divorce. The pension department does not rec ognize common law marriages. Several bills have been introduced in congress to permit her name to be placed on the roll of widows entitled to a pension, but none of them has passed. An appeal from the pension board’s decision to tlie United States Supreme court is being considered. If Mrs. Dermit succeeds, she will be entitled to $4,500 back pension and $30 a month. Montana Tree Disease ~ Destroys Scotch Firs A deadly tree disease, known as rhabdoeline, introduced into Britain a few years ago with a consignment of Douglas firs from Montana, is sweeping across Scotland and the south of England. Experts are baf- lled, and consider that, wafted by the wind, this disease will eventually wipe out the majority of this type of fir throughout the British isles. The disease first attacks the leaves. Fungus spore gathers, usually on the under surface of the leaf. Tlie leaves die, and within three or four years the tree is entirely denuded of leaves and dies also. There are three members of the Douglas fir family, the Oregon, the blue, which is popular in the south of England for its beauty, and the inter mediate. A curious feature of this epidemic is that so far it has haidlv touched the Oregon, while its viru lence among the -other two species grows fiercer. European Air Courses to Be Marked at Night Le Bourget France.—NigliteIlyers soon will have good signal lights by which to steer their course on four air highways. The way from Paris to London, Brussels, Marseilles and Perpignan will be marked with orange-colored neon electric lights which will flash continually the Morse code for the letters that will identify them. There is but little flying in the dark as yet, but- in every way French avi ation is trying to prepare for the im minent development of night travel. One branch of this work is the train ing of pilots to steer by instruments alone. The men are taught by han dling planes, ip which they are en closed in a dark cabinet while an other pilot who can see the ground prevents accidents by correcting er rors through double control.

' H-H 1 1 1 M I U 11T T-T-H -1 FRIENDS AID FORTUNE WINNER BEAT SHARKS Form Lucky Man Into Lim ited Liability Company. London.—Tales of those who lose at gambling are seldom heard unless they take to crime or commit suicide as a result of their losses. Big win ners at gambling flash across the newspaper horizon for a day or two and are soon forgotten, but the news-' paper reader often wonders what the big winners do with their easily-gained fortunes. Do they blow them in quick ly in riotous living, or do they save and usefully invest the money? Now that tlie season is at hand when every true born Briton has a ticket in some sweepstake the Lon don Daily Mail has looked up some of the men and women who struck it luckily in recent years. The investi gation has revealed that so far as can be found, the past winners have not become wild spendthrifts by their good luck, but have thoughtfully used their money where it would do the most good. " Keeps Off Sharks. William Kilpatrick, the Capetown dental mechanic, formerly of Leeds, wiio won $300,000 in the Calcutta sweep last year, has just returned to Milnthorpef Westmoreland, where his mother and sweetheart live. He is to be married in July. He visited MiIn- tborpe soon after his success, but re turned to Capetown in the autumn. Immediately it was known that he was the winner last year friends in Capetown formed him into a limited liability company, so that his good nature could not be worked upon by sharks or anybody else. He settled on his mother and sisters at Milnthorpe a sum sufficient to bring them In a comfortable income. H e'also bought them a house and a motor car. He established and endowed a soup kitchen to Capetown, where he intends to make his home. • James' Strang of PoIIok street, Glas gow, who won S3G.000 with a $25 treble at last year’s Derby, told a re porter that lie had invested the money very profitably. He has continued in his occupation as a traveler for a firm of wholesale drapers in Glasgow. Part Owner of Ticket. Mrs. Ford, part owner of a ticket which won a little over $150,000 In the Derby sweepstake organized at Otiey in 1923, still lives In her modest home in Pembroke street, Skipton, York shire. Mrs. Ford had a quarter-sharc of a $2.50 ticket, half a share was owned by her' mother, Mrs. Hodgson, who has since died, and ..the other quarter was in the name of a Mrs. Griflin, who was engaged as a cook in a Skipton coffee house. Mrs. Hodgson distributed most of her $75,000 among seven relatives. Castor Oil Bean Drives Insects From Its Vicinity Austin, Texas.—AU kinds of in sects have such a dislike for castor oil bean plants that they will not come near them, and this fact has caused experiments to be made of planting the beans In cotton fields as a means of keeping the boll weevil and other pests away. It is stated that by planting a row of castor oil beans to every four or five rows of cotton, protection against insect invasion may be obtained. The castor oil beans themselves are a profitable crop, although it is admit ted that should they be grown with cotton upon all the farms of the South there probably would result an over production of the beans. Clumps of castor oil bean plants are grown around the homes of many fam ilies to ward off flies and Jiosquitoes, and it Is regarded as strange that the idea that this plan might he adopted for keeping insect pests out of cotton fields was so long delayed in being put into practice. Escapes With Five Kisses, Jailed for Taking Sixth New York1- I f Michael Gallagher had not been homesick for the Green- point section of Brooklyn, it might never have happened, he explained in police court. He was homesick and so he visited the section. It was as wonderful as ever—and so were the Greenpoint girls. He kissed five he passed on the street ,AU seemed to get the idea that lie meant well .and to believe a watched kiss never boils, anyway, so they shooed him on his way forgivingly. Then he met Miss Mae Hiryak1 a stenographer who screamed and fought, and three Greenpoint young men who lmfipened to be passing leaped upon Gallagher. “Your honor,” Gallagher said the next morning. “I believe Greenpoint has the prettiest girls in the world. I just couldn’t help it.” “But Greenpoint can’t stand for this.

Receives Its D eath Blow. Paris--The French capital’s world famous “flea market,” venerable hunt ing ground for collectors of antiques, curios, Paisley shawls, ■ possible Rem brandts, and low-priced and unclassi- liable objects of every possible de scription, has finally received its death blow after seven centuries of business. Disapproved by the city officials and ignominiously shifted about from one to another of the city’s outposts, the' ancient mart suc ceeded in fighting every move to end its days until the passage of the new Sunday closing law, which automat ically deprives it of its principal source of income. ForyearsAmerican visitors and oth er foreigners have visited the Marche- a'ux-Puces every Sabbath to prowl among the curious displays of rusty nails, stovepipes, oily rags, and as sorted junk for overlooked treasures until the wily merchants have become clever enough to conceal imitation an tiques among worthless trinkets in the hope that ambitious amateurs would “discover” them and pay sev eral times their value. In this man ner the fair gradually lost its prestige until it reached a precarious state. With the weekly arrest of dozens of its merchants and the Sunday closing edict its doom is now sealed and its merchants are seeking other means of making a living. Her Portrait Too Fat, Offers it for Sale New York.—Picture gazers were grouped in ifront of the Milch galler ies, confused between pleasure and surprise by a portrait in tlie window., of a woman of the patrician type, painted in the style and finish of the Florentine master of the Fifteenth ce.ntury. The portrait was that of Mrs. Flor ence Brooks-Aten1 who engaged George De Forest Brush to paint it His re tainer was $10,000 plus $500 for a spe cial frame. When the work was done, Mrs. Brooks-Aten said the artist had given her too much weight. On her refusal to accept it he painted another por trait that equally displeased her. Then he sued for $7,000 and won a judgment for $4,000. Tlie gallery understands she thus parted with $14,500 for a pic ture she would not keep and she or dered the sale to get back what she could. Beauty Handicap to Women Seeking Work London.—If a Ziegfeld Follies girl and a “blue stocking” both went after the same job, the I1Ollies girl’s good looks would lose it for her. That was the general opinion voiced at a recent conference on new careers for women, held by the National Union of Women Voters. The meeting was debating whether good looks are a drawback to a girl taking up certain professions. •• “We put forward a woman for a drawing office appointment" said Miss Haslett, organizer of the Women’s Engineering society and Women’s Electrical association, “and her quali fications were excellent, but the direc tor, said quite frankly- that she was too good looking for the job, and would probably upset the men in their work.” Another director, expressing the technical qualifications required of a girl, added, “and she must not jump if the foreman s'ays ‘Damn!’ ” Woman Sleuth Traps Pair With $5,000 Loot Pittsburgh.—Betty Moran, alias “Deafie,” alleged shoplifter with a rec ord in many cities, and one of her pals were vifctims of strategy by city de tectives. Detective Robert Best and William Cryster arrested Betty and her partner, Dorothy Hurd, and re covered goods valued at over $5,000. When the Hurd woman displayed her merchandise to a woman detec tive who had been “planted” In the place both women -were placed under arrest. They were released on bail of $5,000 each after hearings in Morals court “Jack” Moran, who drove the car and was also arrested, was exonerated by the Moran woman at the hearing and was discharged.

The law demands a hand horn for city driving and an electricali.v-op- erated signal for use on coun try roads.

Thomasvilie Baptist Or phanage Reports. The 43rd annual report of the Thomasville Baptist orphanage has just been issued in a booklet of 40 pages which contains reports of the general manager, M. L Kesler; editor of Charity and Children, Ar chibald Johnson, the school principal J. L. Fortney; mothers aid director. Miss Hattie Edwards; pastor of the church. Rev. E N. Gardner; phvsi cians, Dr. J. E Hobgood; treasurer, R. F. Hough, who has been super intendent of the Kennedy home for four years, but is leaving the posi tion on account of taking up the managent of the the Virginia Bap tist orghanage at Salem, Va., his brother, J. C Hough, taking the vacancy at the Kenney home. By requests the report states that $35,000 has been added to the en dowment fund, with the additional income over $13,000 from the Duke endownment for the year. The Thanksgiving offering was sufficient to clean up the debts contracted last year for the maintenance fund and it is stated the regular contributions for this year have been much in ad vance over last year, consequently debts are not oppressive so far this year as last. The moral fo the above is: We wonder if our courts are guilty of such in this county. ^ ll 11 IiiiFimimliriltgtnctaainllllllIllCT Republican County Convention Called.

When Hoover Choose Wisely. “A recent biography of Herbert Hoover” .says Charity and Children, the Thomasville Baptist Orphanage newspaper, ‘"narrates how, in the early days of the war, he was con fronted with the necessity of making a momentous decision He was in London at the time. He was a min ing engineer, that is to say. a man with considerable knowledge of metallurgy. He was not enormous Iy rich, as riches go in America, but he had some millions—plenty of capi tal to enable him to go into business of supplying munitions to the war ring governments. He was an ex tremely able business man, and he saw at a glance the possibilities that lay before any man of his type who would go into munitions-making In brief he realized that it was easily within his power to become certain Iy one of the world’s richest mer, perhaps the richest man of all time. Then came the conquest to take over the relief work in Belgium. There seemed to be then small prospects of, making a great name at that sort of work. Hoover was under the neces sity of choosing between one of the greatest business opportunities of all time, and.a work of humanitarian- ism, to which there was apparently no reward attached. It was a real struggle for him decide. He walk ed the floor for hours in a veritable agony Of decision. But in the end. he decided to let the fortune, and answer the call of humanity. Now, where would Herbert Hoover be to day if he had chosen otherwise? If he had never gone to Belgium, th world, in all probability, would nev< r have heard of him. If he had never gone to Belgium President Wilson wiuldrever havie made him Focd Administrator;''Snd^if he had m t been Food Administrat'r, the cotn- ! try would never known him for tne great executive he is; and if he had not been in the President’s cabinet, still less the nominee' of the Repu blican party and probably the; next President of the United States, Yet e en if the brilliant career had net 6 6 6 Cures Chills and Fever, Intermittent, Remittent and Bilious Fever due to Malaria It kills the Germs DANGEROUS BUSINESS It is a mistake to buy fire insurance blindly.

The old proverb, “ Great oaks from little acorns grow,” is clearly proven in the growth of the Maso nic Picnic at Mocksville, which under the majestic oaks at Clement Grove has developed from a small community gathering to one of the biggest events of the year in Pied mont Carolina. The Masonic Lodge No. 134 had been established in Mocksville more thau 25 years before the picnics were started, being founded in April 1850, by. a loyal and ent.hu siastic body of men. In the 70 's there were not many places of amusement as in modern times, and when the pleasant sum tuer days came the three Sunday- schools of the town would join forces, aud spend a day picnicing at the “Shoals,” where the town of Cooleemee is now located. On one of these occasions it was sug gested'by the late John H. Stewart that the money left over from pur chasing refreshments be sent to the Oxford Orphanage. A few years prior to this the old St. John’sCoI- lege at Oxford which was built to educate Mason's daughters, was in debt and bad to be sold. In 1872 the Grand Lodge met in Raleigh, and J. H. Mills made a motion that it be turned into an orphanage. In deciding the question the vote of John Nichols1 Grand Master of Grand Lodge of North Caro1Ina; turned the tide'in favor of establish ing an orphanage. It then became the custom for the superintendent to tour the State with a chapter ot orphans, and give concerts, one ot these being given at the Presby terian Church in Mocksville. In 1874 it is recorded tnat the Mocks ville Lodge sent $25 00 to Oxford. In the minutes of the Mocks ville Lodge No. 134 , dated April 20th, 1877 , E- Frost being Wor shipful Master, the following is re. corded: “Brothers H. B. Howard, W. A. Clement, and Thom B Bailey were appointed a committee to recieve and prepare homes for Bro. J. H Mills aud the orphans who were to give an entertainment in Mocksville on the n th day ot May next. Ou motion the Lodge appointed Bros. Rev. Tbo's. A. Boone1 Thos. B. Bailey and W. A. Clement a committee to confer with the other Lodges of the county in regal'd to a grand Masonic Picnic on the 24th day of J tine next, and report their action at our next monthly meeting,” P. M. EaiIey1 Sec. There were three other Masonic Lodges in Davie county at that time, Farmington Lodge No 265, Jerusalem. Lodge No. 315 , and County Line Lodge No. 224. The record also states that the Committee on the Orphans’ Asylum w a s directed to request the ministers of the three churches to take up a collection for the Oxford Orphanage on the 24th of June, a date spe cially celebrated in Masonic circles. Again, under date ot November 16th, 1877 . we find another plea to the minsters to their congregations in behalf of the Orphanage, and to take up a collections for it A A. Harbin made the motion that it be suggested to the of ficers of the various churches that they erect boxes in the church es "to receive contributions for the aid of the Asylum. ” Phillip Hanes made a motion that Ithe Orphan Asylum Committee "procure a book, and solicit subscriptions from each member (of the Lodge) to be paid monthly for the' orphan cause.” So we see that these Masonic brothers had the cause of the fath i srless cues doss, at bearti aad. the acorn had' already sprouted, and was showing leaves of promise. It is said that the . hat collection taken at the picnic at the Shoals in August 1878 amounted *0 #3 5 0 0 . Keep that in mind when you read of the checks in four figures which have been sent to the Oxford Or phanage in recent years. The minutes for June 20th, 1879 have this article recorded, “On motion it was carried that we ha\ e a picnic on or about the middle of J uly for the benefit of the Orphans at Oxford, and the following com mittee of arrangements was ap pointed to arrange the picnic at the Shoals or some other place, (viz.) John H. Stewart. J. M. Howard, A. A. Harbin, P. Hanes and- W. A. Clrment.” J. M. Howard, Sec. It is interesting to scan the list of officers for the vear 1879 ; T. B. Bailey, Vv. M ; Wiley A. Clement, S. W.; Philip Hanes, J. W : Biax ton Bailey,vTreas ; J M. Howard, Sec ; W. F. Kelly, S. D.: P. R. Martin, J. D ; A. A- Harbin, Tiler; J. H. Stewart and P. M. Bailev, Stewards; A. C. Kelly1 Marshall; Rev. W. C. Willson, Chaplain, H.: B. Howard, W. A. Clement , and J. L. Adams, Com. of Finance; Jacob Cope1 A. Henly and Cheshire Sain1 Com. of Reference; J. L. Adams, W; A, Clement and H. B Howard,. Buildiing Com;; Phillip Haness, J. H Stewart and E. :H. Pass, Orphan Asylum' Qom. . At the Lodge meeting held' on July 18th 1879 the Committee re ported that they had invited a speaker for the picnic to be helcLat .the.shpa]s._ Jphn H„ Stewarj^- jvai^ appointed to buy 25 or^O^iipions for the members . to wear at the Picnic. J. A. Kelly ’ and 'E. ;H. Pass were appointed to take up the collection at the Picnic, which a- niouuted to r .79 , the-date being July 23rd, 1879 . On April it>, 1880 ti is recorded that the Worshipful Master ap pointed "A. Henley, W. A. Cle ment .and P. Hanes as a Committee with tbe Orphan Asylum Comtni.- tee to take such action In regard to the picnic as they may deem pra- Der.” One of the most en hunias tic workers for the Picnic from the beginning was Major William 'B. Clement, who, although not a Ma son, gave it his loyal support until his death. For several years the Picnics were held at the Shoals, and then it was decided to move it to Mocksville in 1883 , and hold it in a grove belonging to the heirs of John Clement, oue of the ereetors of Davie county. And so, the small oak sapling was transplanted from the riverside to the grove, where it'was watered, with the teats of sympathy and warmed with the sunshine of unselfish love. The officers lor 1881 were: H. B. Howard, W. M., PhilHp Hanes1 S. W ; S. A. W’oodruff, J. W ; W. A. Clemeut, Treas.; A. Henley, Sec.; A. A. Harbin, S. D., Casper Sain, J. D.; P. M Bailey, Tiler. In this year a committee of'three co n- posed of A. A. Harbinj Casper Sain and J. H. Stewart wa.sappoim- cd to select speakers for the Picnic in July. In 1882 it was motioned that a Committee with the regular Orphan Committee discuss pl-ns with a committee from Farmington Lodge for the annual Orphan Picnic. The Committe thus appointed was J. M Howard, Camper Sain1 S. A. Wood ruff and T. B. Bailey. The Or phan Asylum Committe was W. A, Clement, E...„;H.,-,?P?i>s and J. H. Stewart. The Minutes of the Lodge on March 21st, 1884 contain the fol lowing item; “On Miotion of Broth er H B. Howird the Lodge voted to have a. Picnic this year about the usual time, the day to' be set by the committee of arrangements. The WY M- proceeded. .to . appoiat -tise following brethern as a Committe of Arrangements: J. A, Kelly, Chairman, Rev. W. C. Willson, J. M. Howard, S. A. Woodruff, W. A. Clement, J. H. .Stewart, and Phillip Hanes.” A treasured memento of those days is a very ornate invitation to the Picnic of 1885. Printed on the folder are these words: "Invita tion to the Seventh Annual Maso nic Picnic, “Clement Grove,” Mocksville, N. C., Thursday. August 13 th, 1885 'Addressedbv Capt. Oct Coke, and Dr. B F. Dixon. Exercises by a Chapter of Orphans. W. A. Clement, W. T. Woodruff, W. K. Gibbs, C. F. Bahiison. J, M. Monroe, Thos, Butler, Com ” The amount raised for the or phans at this Picnic was $ :68 00 . Thus the young oak, growing strong and sturdy in its new ei - viroument, began to show many new green leeves. The interestin the annual Ma sonic Picnic, which now was held on the second Thursday in August, steadily increased, although some times rainy weather prevented the proceeds from coming up to ex pectations The only building on tbe grounds then was a small wooden platform where the speak ers and orphans were seated, the crowds sitting on benches without backs and no roof except the branches of the oak trees. There was also a booth where ice-cream and; lemonade were sold. Too much praise cannot be given to those .,noble women of Davie for Jibe.,.e&£UQ|xi* the long tables spread under the trees. On September 21st, 1889 it re corded: “Tbe Picnic Committee reported that the net proceeds of the Picnic was $233 00 , and that the same had been turned over to Dr. Dixon, superintendent of Ox ford Orphan Asylum.V On May 16 , 1890 we read, "On motion the W. Master was instruct ed to appoint a Picuic Committee, and re] ort the same throught tbe Davie Times.” The amount rais ed at this picnic was $178 32. The year, 1891 , was a more suc cessful one, for the good sum of $549-53 was sent to L)r- AVilliam Black; then superintended of the Orphanage. Among the items of expense listed at this Picnic we find recorded,” 15c for a lost plate. The speakers on these occasions wete usually the superintendent’of the Orphanage aud some otbtr high official in Masonic circles. In 1892 the officers: S. A. Wood ruff; W. M.; Jacob Stewart, S. W.; Will X. Coley, J. W.; H. B. How ard, Treas.; A. Henley, Sec., and on the Orphans Committee: H. E. Robertson, Phillip Hanes, and A. M. Nail. It was this year that the first excursion train was run from Winston to the Picnic. The minutes of May 20th, 1892 read as follows: "On motion the Master appointed a Committee to confer with Col. Andrews in regard . to chartering a train for the purpose of running an excursion at our Picnic, and 'the following brothers were ap poiuted: T. B. Bailey, A. M. McGlatnery and Will X. Colev 11 The result ot this Picnic'were very- encouraging, aud #622.95 was sent to Dr. Black. Earlyinthe Spring the' Lodge would begin making plans for the picnic, and on April 20th, 1894 it is recorded that that the Master ap pointed Will X. Coley . W. T Woodruff and A. M. Nail to see the owners of the Picnic Grounds, and. ask their permission to use them, the C mmittee later report ing that the owners, ‘ cheerfully consented to let the Lodge have the grounds as usual ” ,The Davie Times of August 10 th, The Record believes that every man and woman1 in Davie county who is qualified to vote in November, should express their preference as to who should hold the various county offices. A number of good men in the countv will be in the race for tne diiferent offices, and we want all our subscribers who are Republicans, to fill in the coupon a- bove and mail, bring or send it to The Record office.

This straw ballot is not binding and will have nothing to do with how you shall vote in November. You can vote tor whom you please in both the primary and county conven tion, regardless of whom you vote for now. VVe believe that this straw ballot will create more interest in the precinct primaries and county convention, and will ciuse a much larger per cent of the voters to at tend their primaries. The voice of the masses and not that of the classes,.should be heard when it comes to naming the meti or . womep who are to serve all the people in the county. When you have voted" give your next coupon to your neighbor and ask hiui or her .to vote. The coupon will appear each week in The Record until the primaries are held.

The Record is printing in today’s paper the history of the Masonic picnic wliicft has been held in Davie county for the past fifty years. The article was written by Miss Mary Heitman, and is well woith pre serving. We are hoping that Al Smith will make at least one speech in North Carolina during the cam paign. We also hope that Mrs. Clem Shaver will visit North Ca rolina and let the Democratic brethren and sisters know what she thinks about Al. Some of the democrats are afraid that they cannot get enough Smith speakers in this state during the campaign. If tne big democrats are afraid to speak for Al the cam paign committee might pick up two or three fellows around here who would be willing to go out and do some talking tor this Tam many Hall bear cat.

We have had many ups and downs, more downs than ups, it would seem, but we have managed to issue the paper every week for the past 21 years without missing-an issue or com ing out a day late. We appreciate the many good things said about the paper by our subscribers and the support given us by the people of Davie and surrounding country. Our aim will be to give you a good paper in the future that will be worth much more than the price charged for it. Your past support has been very much appreciated, and we trust that you will continue to stand, by us in the future. We have enjoyed the almost quarter of a century that we have labored in this county—the garden spot of the world—and will continue to serve you to the best of our ability. A Fine Record. Sheriff Cope, of Davie county, has made a fine record as a tax collector, according to the auditor who bas just finished with the tax 'records for 1927 . Sheriff Cope made.a record of 99.8377 per cent in the collection of taxes for the past year, leaving only .1623 ' per cent insolvent. Tf there is a sheriff in North Carolina who can beat this record of the Davie sheriff, we would ,be glad 'to know who he is and where he lives. Sheriff Cope should be proud of the record he has made in the collection of taxes since he went into office four years ago. ________________ Miss Nell Morris, of Hender sonville,- was the guest of Miss Evi Ca l Friday and Saturday.

CHAPTER V— Continued —12— Don't think for a moment that this iiaan is going to bother you or search iGiir trunks. Us is here to watch,” Ifkc remarked. Mrs. Grant took up the dainty tele- Ipliinc instrument which matched the ItKjuiioir furniture. “Thorpe,” she comianded, when a voice answered Mr. “solid Mr. Xeatman to me at We." Siie turned to the unhappy BIafcnmseIlc Dupin. “You have seen Jlaworld1 tell me what you"think of [fcim." I'l.r tlie moment the “Countess” [toulil not be sure that Mrs. Grant jlisii not prepared the visit of the de lusive as a trap. It had been brought iliout so easily, so naturally, that she j/flt suspicion was Justiiiable. To ieek to evade the man would be, [transparently, an evidence of fear. Ikere was a knock at the door and .tte man who was known as Mr. l’eat- iao entered. It was through the mir ror that Mademoiselle Dupin first saw SIic had turned her back od him itb a caution born of maDy harrow- ig interviews. For one fraction of a went she caught his black eyes wt on her mirrored reflection. It aa enough for her to feel a pang of ™. For the moment she could not stieniber how or where she had met m; but slie was certain that she at And slie did not think he was »the side of the law. Eagerly she listened for his voice, ’hen he spoke it deepened the Im- wsslon of previous knowledge of in, but brought identification no iiarer. llJtn are keeping, an eye on him?” !is. Grant queried. 'He is rarely out of my sight, ma- Iwe," lie answered. “You have, per- llPs1 new instructions for me?” “X# more than I have already given 'I" With a nod of her bead she ismIssed him. "What do you think of him?” Mrs. taut asked. ‘It was not a favorable impression, •ii are satisfied that he is genuine?” "Wi1 yes, The creature has bis litBt in the New York telephone di- Wwy 1 an office, a stenographer, and Ijl Uic rest of it. I went in to see ® uyself. There is so much In- in the world of crime that one a*’t lie too careful.” Sn one hears,” murmured Made- 'oiselle Dupin. She knew that soon she would be to place him. It was like going wough au old trunk for a misplaced Pter. She had known this man and ? “ad been associated with some one ll|ose many incidents outside the * which had made up her life. He 7 * e(m of the police or a confeder- [ * of those for whom she worked. Uiat had been required of her In early days in the gay capitals Lurope was that she should look remain beautiful, and never lae Jier heart. The danger of meet* former confederates was as peril- to Iier now as meeting an agent lf Police. IlonWas har^ly Possible that a quick I tIlroUSh a mirror would reveal Ij2l as tlle brilliantly lovely girl of I niy<!ars ^foro, who had passed as sitat heiress In the Riviera. CHAPTER VI I d e m o i s e l l e Dupin Realizes T .H e r Peri,‘I-Mtnian is the lesser of two evils,” ,7 toW Mademoiselle. Dupin. “He l°n. 1 1° S,tea*' an<* not to denounce !•skrr h * see any «»»»> for sup- ImcI> I knows y°u are In America, Tolrt !Jsa ln this particular house- • it may -even be that he Is legit- fOUQ; Imately a detective now. Two things you must not do. One is not to be seen with me, and another is not to run the risk of meeting him. These people with their jewels won't be here more than a week, and then, I sup pose, he will go.” “I don’t know,” she said doubtful ly. "Mrs. Grant has a succession of these house parties planned. When do you leave?” “I don’t want to. go until I know you’re safe,” he answered. “And that means I shall stay until Yeatman gets out The trouble is that we can’t yet tell certainly which side he is on now. I’m not one to be able to cast stones. He, too, may have changed.” “No, no!” she cied. “One has to catch but a glimpse of his face to know he is evil. It was something of violence that I half remember about him.” “Take what precautions you can,” he reminded her as she rose to go to her lesson, “and remember you can communicate with me through the butler. After all, if it comes to the worst, I don’t suppose two more re sourceful people than you and I are to be found. I’m nor going to see you “Now It Will Cost Enormously.” frightened or hurt by anyone. Re member that I am lighting for you, and my position here is a strongly en trenched one. If anything goes badly, send for me, give me a lead, and I swear I’ll get you cut of this house with all the Iionors of war, even if I have to mobilize the Welds and Bent leys to do It” “I do not think I have ever had a friend like you," she said simply. “In other days, when I seemed to have money and position. It was different, but now, when I am nothing at all— your goodness brings tears to my eyes.” She went hurriedly from the room. Always when she bad been talking to Anthony Trent she was filled with courage and hope. Mademoiselle Dupin knew that while Mrs. Grant needed her for in struction In French she chiefly was anxious to learn the etiquette of these old French families which do not wel come foreigners in their midst. In the long talks Natlca Grant discussed her ambitions freely. She felt she could speak freely, as her teacher had none with whom to gossip. One of her chief grievances against Cap tain Sutton was that be had not let her know of his enormous wealth un til he was about to leave for France. “And because I 3id not know,” she wailed, “I lived In the wrong places, knew the wrong sort of people .and did the wrong sort of things. I could have been received in .Newport if he had encouraged me. It would have been easy when I first married. Now It will cost enortonsly, and I shall need all my cleverness and scheming.” Natica Grant tired her out EveB the housekeeper noticed it at the meal they took together. “She’s a hard woman to work for,” I Miss Brewen remarked. “I don’t won- | der Mr. Grant drinks, although that isn’t thg reason. He’s afraid Captain Frank may come back and kill him, as he swore he’d do at the trial." *»•***• When Mademoiselle Dupin went-to her room, stealthily, fearing to en counter Yeatman, she was In posses sion of many useful facts which placed Natica Grant in a less favorable light Now that she was alone she tried to read, so that the hours before sleeping might pass quickly. The printed pages were not able to hold her attention. She was vaguely un easy. Anthony Trent bad told her be would help; but ne was downstairs, while she was alone in this upper corridor. She turned out her lights and gazed for almost an hour out at sea. Her ears seemed to catch a hun dred harrowing noises In the passage outside. But her nerves grew taut and the fading courage returned when, out of these vague, confused sounds, there came the definite tapping of hands on her door. “It has come,” she murmured. Then she turned on the lights and flung open the door. The man who passed by the name of Yeatman stood ttiere. She clung to the hope that he might have come to ask her' a few questions which, as a detective, lie might find himself ex pected to do. “You have something to ask me?" she said, with admirable self-posses sion. “Not so loud,” said Mr. Yeatman, putting his fingers to his lips. “I have my reputation to think ot” Without appearance of ill-will he pushed past her, closed the door and then crossed to a chair by the win dow. He lighted a Maryland ciga rette and turned to Mademoiselle Dupin. “You do not recognize me?” he de manded, in French. He was smiling. The changed intonation and the al tered face brought back his name in a flash. “Pierre Eedlich!” she cried. Vivid ly she called him to mind now. Per haps she bad seen him no more than twice, but they had talked much of him, the men with whom she had long ago been associated. This was the Pierre Redlich who had been a sort of outside man for them. It was his work to warn of the approach of the police. It had been Redlich’s misfor tune to engage in combat a gendarme with a singularly tliin skull. It was cracked like an egg, and Eedlich was sent to work for life on a breakwater. “You do not remember me as I re member you,” said Pierre Bedlich, breaking the silence. “What was I to you then? Nothing at all. Some thing not to be considered. If made moiselle remembers, she was Madame la Princesse Sonioffsky that season." “Did you come her to look for me?" There was that perfect command OJT herself in the moment of danger for wbich she had been famous. No long er was there fear or hesitation. “I did not know even tliat'you wetu here. No. That was the luck which fools call coincidence. We are going to exchange confidences, you and I, and you shall bear why it is I am here speaking English perfectly who was condemned to life imprisonment knowing only French and my native Flemish.” He took the orange package of Maryland cigarettes and placed it on the white wicker table by the win dow. Tlien he removed his coat “It is good to be where there Is iiu part to play,” he commented. “Here, with a friend, I can be myself.” “Why should you call me friend?” “I ought to have said rival.” “Even that would not be true." “You may lie, but it does not de ceive me. Why should you be in a house like this if not to rob?” “I am here earning my living hon estly. Are you not here for that pur pose?”Pierre Eedlich laughed as lie tossed a cigarette-end from the window. “What a woman!” he said admiring ly. “I am, indeed, an honest business man and can show you testimonials. But I have waited two years for a chance like this. It has been weary work. And then, when it comes, I find I have a rival Now, mademoi selle, if you were a man I should have killed you. I am at a stage where I will have no other person come between me and what I want But you are a woman and a beautiful one.” He looked at her with burn ing eyes. (TO B E CONTINUED.) N e w s O f T h e S o u t h e a s t Happenings of the Week Over .Georgia, the Caro- linas and Florida. GEORGIA’S WHEAT CROP WILL BE BIG MONEY CROP BIG LUMBER PLANT LEASED First State Opera Formed in Flor ida; Large Gin Is Destroyed By Fire; Other Items. Atlanta, Ga.—Georgia’s wheat crop for 1928 la estimated by the United States government at 800,000 bushels. Of that amount not more than 200,000 bushels will find its way to market The rest will be consumed by neigh borhood mills and on the farms. In Atlanta there Is one flour mill that Is capable and ready to buy fevery bushel of wheat that can be raised in Georgia. It offers aready and per petual market for 1Wheat. It pays cash for its grain. But if this mill was provided with every bushel of wheat raised in Geor gia, there would not be enough wheat to keep the plant busy for more than thirty days. Wheat is now selling at $1.65 a bushel. Earlier in the season it sold for $1.75. There will be no Georgia wheat that doesn’t bring In at least $1.65 and still not only the Atlanta mill is forced to buy western wheat, but so are mills in Dalton, Augusta, Macon and Columbus. “And," says J. R. Bachman, of the Atlanta Milling company, there iB hardly an acre of land in Georgia that can’t grow wheat and grow it satisfactorily and In paying quantities. As a result, there is no telling how much this economic failure to take ad vantage of an opportunity is costing our state and our people,” continued Mr. Bachman. “The thing that every flour mill In Georgia is trying to do is to arouse the Georgia farmers to this opportunity.” Big Lumber Plant Leased Waycross, Ga.—One of the most im portant business deals of recent weeks in southeast Georgia was-the leasing of the Georgia Planing Mill holdings at Alma by the Hurircane Creek Lum ber company. The latter company al ready has started operation of the lumber plant. First State Opera Formed in Fla. Orlando, Fla.—What is claimed to be the first state civic opera association ever formed in the country was or ganized here when opera enthusiasts from six Florida cities—Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, Orlando, St. Peters burg and Daytona "Beach—met and perfected plans for Incorporating the Florida grand opera association. The organization plans to sponsor a company of Florida grand opera art ists who have gained renown in their work. Each January this company will play a series of concerts in each city in the association putting on all performances In connection with local choruses. It was. termed as a non profit making civic opera association. Large Gin Destroyed By Fire Dalton, Ga.—Fire of undetermined origin discovered about midnight re cently destroyed the Farmers’ union gins, causing an estimated damage to building . and machinery of fifteen thousand dollars. Will Send Many Guards to Camp Atlanta, Ga.—Georgia is well repre sented among the National Guard and organized reserve ,units scheduled to attend training encampments at va rious points In the South during the month of July, it has been announced here at Fourth Corps army area head quarters. ■>X‘> C o n c e it a n d T i m i d i t y B a r s t o A d v a n c e m e n t Henry Ward Beecher once called conceit “the most incurable disease known to the human soul.” Conceit, however, Is not to be con fused with pride, self-respect br self- confidence. There Is merit In these qualities and many a man of limited abilities has stamped and pounded his way to the seats of the mighty. But the conceited man moves In quite a different realm. His is simply an unreasoning, unfounded .opinion of his own Importance. He Is a giant In a world of pygmies.Many men fall because of timidity and modesty. They secretly tell them selves that they don’t amount to much, that they are mediocre and that nobody Is interested in their words or deeds. They slink into the hidden re cesses of obscurity of complete fail ure. There is a sane middle ground upon which those who get anywhere worth while in life must ever stand, !^either conceit nor timidity will carry anyone very far. Honesty Is the best policy even In appraising one’s own talents.—Thrift Magazine.

Plans $877,233 Expenditure Augusta, Ga.—The Richmond county budget for 1928 calls for an estimated expenditure of $577,233, compared with expenditures of $829,000 in 1927. Roads, with an allotment of $125,- 000 , constitute the largest single item In the , budget, “while $100,000 is allot ted to pay past indebtedness. It is announced, however, that the reduced budget will In no way affect the operation of the. school system throughout the county. Thomasonville Masons Convene Thomasville, Ga.—Representatives of chapters of Royal Arch Masons of the Second congressional district of Georgia have just conoluded their dis trict convention In Thomasville, hav ing been guests of J. M. Rushin chap ter number 23, here, fee meeting was held in the beautiful Masonic hall. Visiting MasoM expressed them selves as delighted with the manner In 'which they were entertained by the “City of Roses,” and the splendid co-operation of the ladies.

On the other hand, njothers who want their children to get as much of the beneficial ultraviolet rays as possible should keep the children in cotton or linen clothes. These four textiles were tested by scientists working at the Kansas State Agricultural college, who found that while the protection from sunburn depends primarily on the looseness, of the weave, the vegetable fibers, cot ton and linen, transmit some of the rays that cause sunburn and tanning, while the animal fibers, silk and wool, absorb more of these rays and thus offer greater protection against them.

Many of the new evening gowns re vive the romance of fashion In that they are given that quaint styling which emphasizes full-skirtedness, ber tha eifects and such. The bertha In tbe picture is of lace and because it is so extremely smart this season, its presence establishes the style prestige of this frock. This dainty dress ex presses an exquisite color-play in that the chiffon voile of which it is made is in the three tones of rose, the ^darkest at the hemline diminishing to just a suggestion of pink at the top. Compared to many. of the latest dance and bridesmaids’ frocks, this model is but mildly bouffant It seems, if lengthened and fuller skirts are evidence, that extremely modish gowns are growing quainter and quainter still. Some of the de butantes and modern belles look as If they had stepped out from the pages of a long ago style book. The fact that organdie and tulle and such diaphanous fabrics are so widely exploited add* to the charm ing quaintness and picturesqueness of current evening modes. Of course, only the youthful con wear these frocks which accent length ened skirts and voluminous hemlines. Then, too, it requires a slender figure to be fitted becomingly in the simple bodices with their normal waistlines which top the bouffant skirt. The new organdies are dreams. Their color ings, well—wito can describe them?- Then, top, their shoulder capes and bertlias of the same material require the ingenue type, if they be displayed to advantage. Well, since evei^ wom an is youthful these days, the eve ning picture was never more alluring ly presented than it will be during these summertime months. ((c). 192«.

Berlin.—Competition in the sale of human blood has become so keen in JGenna that the price has dropped to 50 Austrian shillings a liter. This blood is used in blood trans fusions. These have become so com mon in medical practice in that city that a regular trade has developed and quite a number of people live solely from the sale of their blood. Many of them have been bled 12 to 14 times; the record is 16 times. The JEiselberg clinic is the distribu tion center of the “bleeders” ; from there they are sent to the various hos pitals as needed. The “bleeding” trade is, of course, the last refuge of the impoverished. After about 14 bleedings, however, they find themselves “without blood and without money,” and the constant bleeding has made them incapable of heavy manual labor for life. / The names of the patients whose lives are often saved by' the blood transfusions are kept secret from the “bleeders” in order to prevent later money requests. Personal gratitude is therefore unable to help them. Recently the “bleeders” tried to or ganize a union in order to raise the price of their blood, but the effort failed and the “bleeder’s” trade is therefore still run on Uie open shop principle. 'Sunlight Baths Aid English Mine Workers London.—By taking a holiday in Switzerland and sitting in the sun five ptt-boys from the mines of Mansfield have demonstrated the value of light baths for men and boys who work un derground. A report of the commit tee which has been testing the useful ness of light in industrial hygiene has just been published. Following the Swiss experiment with sunlight baths, a clinic was opened and 50 volunteers from the mines, fourteen to seventeen years old, have been given ultraviolet light baths sev eral times a week for three months. At the end of the time the boys had gained in weight an average of more than four pounds. Boys of the same ages who did not get the light baths gained a little over two and a half pounds during the same three months. Tbe boys who had the light baths gained in height more than the boys who did not. The clinic will he continued, and the committee report recommends that wherever pithead baths are installed light baths should be established with them. The report warns, however, that artificial light baths should be given only under medical supervision. How to Measure Fish! Who’ll Say; Who’ll Say? Olympia, Wash.—How to find the length of fish is now one of the world’s puzzles, so after University of Wash ington sages failed to agree over the method Judge Cliester A. Bachelor was left to decide. Prot E. Victor Smith declared that since the state game law does not specify, the proper way is to measure them from tip of head to tip of tail. Now comes Dean John Cobb of the college of fisheries: “The proper measurement of a fish is from the point of ‘V’ in the tail to the end of lower lip.” Judge Bachelor in his decision will decide if Roy Jensep was justly accused of selling fish under the legal length. Oldest House in Paris Is Occupied by Laundry Paris.—Seven centuries have passed and kings, emperors, wars and revo lutions have come and gone, but the oldest house in Paris is doing busi ness at the old stand. It is a laundry, now In the center of the city, close to the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The laundry isn’t that old, but the owner says the pedigree of the building goes "back to Louis IX. The date "of the house, 1240, is proudly displayed on a stone set in the street wall, and the, laundry’s sign is “At the oldest house in Paris.” Open Mosque to Public Jerusalem.-r-Sightseers are now ad mitted to the Great Mosque of Hebron, built over a cave said to contain the bodies of Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca and Jacob and Leah. .H . ,1 I"l.-l-H"H-I-l-l-l-l-t-H"l”H-l-l-I-t Tunnel Tolls in Seven Months, $2,401,980 New York.—Exceeding evien the most optimistic expecta tions, Jhe Holland tunnel in the first seven months of its oper ation has produced toll receipts of $2,401,980.70. Total expenses, including amortization of $48,- 000,000 in bonds, has been esti mated at $10,500 a day. The average daily return so far has been $11,305.50. The New York-New Jersey Tunnel commission believes the tunnel will have paid for itsell in ten years. At the time il was projected, engineers esti mated not more than 5.372,000 vehicles would use the tube the first year. In the first seven months, ending June 11, 4,334,- 295 vehicles passed through the tunnel. iH-I-M-I-I-M 11 ’ I I 11 I t l"M-M"H-i FAILS IN BUSINESS, STARS IN KITCHEN Husband Is Forced to Work Under Eye of Wife. Los Angeles.—If a husband is a faii- use in business life, try him out as the family cook; fire the maid and chauffeur and let him do their work; dispense with the laundry man and, in general, turn the errant spouse loose to make himself useful about the place. / 'i Some Such program is doubtless be ing advocated in many' local homes, following the divorce case testimony adduced recently from Kenneth Gu- Iick MeClurg, former New Yorker, be fore Judge Raymond I. Turney. McClurg’s wife,'the former Lillian Stanford, is attempting to divorce him on grounds of infidelity and cruelty. McClurg denies everything and is fighting the charges. When he took the stand to testify in his own behalf courtroom spectators iyere treated to a story as pathetically humorous as anything in divorce court history. Says Wife Dominates Him. Originally well to do, McCIurg as serts that he was dominated by his wife. Tliey spent almost all Iiis for tune under her direction, he says. TIien he set about to look for work. First lie started a garage, but it was a failure. Tlien he looked for work in a department store, but failed to make the proper connections. “When my wife learned of this fail ure she was furious,” JIcClurg told Judge Turney. Slie discharged the servants. Some one had to do the work and she told me that I was to be the one. “From then on I was a servant to her. I rattier liked the work itself, but her- attitude was intolerable. For two years, from 1925 to 1927, I sub mitted to it. At first I didn't resist because I loved her. When I did begin to resist it was too late.” During those two years, the testi mony shows, McCIurg lived an amaz ing life. Every meal that was cooked in the household was produced, by the docile husband, and he was a good cook, even Mrs. McClurgadmitted that. Dainty omelettes in the morning, tasty salads for luncheon and juicy steaks cooked to a turn at night Between meals McClurg was not idle. When the dishes were washed and put away he straightened the house, then washed and mended his- clothes. On the frequent occasions when Mrs. McClurg and her mother wished to go out, he doffed his ging ham apron, assumed the role of chauffeur and patiently drove them about, in fact as one of the neighbors observed, he would Iiave made ’ a model wife for some girl who appre ciated his ability. Shy and Sensitive. The whole trouble, MeClurg con fided to the jurist was Iiis own innate reticence. From childhood, he had been shy and sensitive. The other boys didn’t understand him. He hated meet ing people. As he grew older he tried to conquer himself. But whenever he went in business his diffidence was Iiis undoing. He would be unable to meet people and successfully put over business deals, and whatever he tried was a failure. In rebuttal, Mrs. McCiurg charged that this seemingly model husband was unfaithful and cruel. She, also asserted that she had furnished $25,- 000 of her own money for the garage venture and that all but $500 of it was lost Such a problem, Judge Turney de cided, is not one to be ^ecided lightly, in the manner of the average divorce, so he took the case under advisement and that Is where it now stands. Meanwhile Mrs. McClurg has gcine back to her home In Santa Monica, and her estranged husband is en deavoring to avoid the threats of other husbands whose wives have pointed him out as an example of what a hus band might do around the house. Turks Must Sit in Pews, Wear Shoes in Mosques Constantinople. — Turks hereafter must wear shoes in their mosques and sit in pews. A government com mission on religious reform has de cided that squatting on rugs by bare foot worshipers is not compatible with modern civilization. Altars as well as pews will be In stalled in the mosques which now are unfurnished except with rpgs. Or gans and choirs will replace the dron ing of the koran by the priest, the only sound which has disturbed the spacious quietness hitherto. This change is considered to be the boldest westernizing stroke of Musta- PhatKemaFs government since the fez was abolished as. a head covering. The commission alters a ritual which has been followed for centuries. Locate Caracas Houses by Blocks, Not Streets Washington. — Street corners, not streets, are used for addresses in Car acas. capital of Venizuela, according to Frederic D. Grab, assistant trade commissioner, in a report to the De partment of Commerce.' Houses in Caracas are always lo> cated by the corners of the block in which they are situated. If an ad-' dress is given as a certain number followed by two names it means the place is located between those two corners. For example, “12 San Francisco A. Pajarltos" means the bouse is No. 12, between the corners of “San Fran cisco” and ‘.‘Little Birds” (translated). Improved Uniform International SujidaySdiool ’ LessonT (By REV. p. b. FlTZWATBR. L>.L>., Deao Moody Bible InHtiiute of Chicago.) * <©. 192ft Western Newspaper ilolnn.i Lesson for July 22 PAUL’S EARLY MINISTRY LESSON TEXT—Acts 9:19-30; 11:25, 26. GOLDEN TEXT—And straightway he preached Christ In the synagogues that he is the Son ot God. PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul Begins to Work- for Jesus. ’JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul’s First Work for Jesus.'INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Saul Champions an Unpopular Cause. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Years of Growing Experience. I. Saul Preached Christ in Damas cus (vv. 19-22). 1. Saul’s fellowship with the dis ciples (v. 19). After Saul was baptized he re mained certain days with the be lievers in Damascus (v. 19). How beau tiful to think of the transformation which took place—the one who was so passionately bent on their destruc tion was now enjoying fellowship with the disciples. 2. Straightway preaching in the synagogues (v.20). Saul, like every one who is really converted, begins to tell of the new' Iy found Savior. As soon as he is saved he goes to save others. 3. The people amazed (v. 21). Tliey knew that the very one that had been the ringleader in persecut ing the Cliristians in Jerusalem, and had come to Damascus for the ex press purpose of bringing them bouni to the chief priests, was now passion ately advocating that which he Iiad so vehemently sought to destroy. 4. The Jews confounded (v, 22). Saul retired into Arabia for three /ears. During this time lie was taught the full truths of his ministry. II. Saul Escapes From the Jews (vv. 23-25). He used the Scriptures with sucli skill that the Jews could not answer him. Finding that the argument was against them, the Jews took counsel how they might destroy Saul. So in tent were they upon killing him that they watched the gates ’ of the city '•day and night -that they might take him. When this became known to the disciples, they let him down from the wall by night in a basket III. Saul Visits Jerusalem (vv. 2G- 29). This journey to Jerusalem was in strange contrast with the one from Jerusalem to Damascus. The one was as a leader of an important expedi tion under the authority of the Jew ish officers with the prospect of a place of distinction in the council of the Jewish nation. Now he is an out cast, disowned by his" countrymen, and fleeing for his life. L Suspected by the disciples (v. 20). The believers at Jerusalem had not heard fully about Saul’s conversion. They knew nothing of his sojourn in Arabia-, and his preaching at Damas cus after his return. Therefore they regarded him as a spy. 2. Barnabas’ confidence in Saul (v. 27). Barnabas was a man filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 11:24), therefore able to discern the reality of Saul’s conversion. He was in reality a “Son of consolation” and in this instance showed his kind spirit 3. Saul in fellowship with the dis ciples (v. 28). They went In and out together. Peter received him in his home where in he abode fifteen days (Gal. 1:18). 4. Saul disputes with the Grecians (v. 29). He was not content merely to visit with the brethren; He spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ IV. Saul Sent to Tarsus (v.30). A conspiracy similar to that one at Damascus was formed against Saul. When the brethren knew of it they sent him to Tarsus. Saul’s life was in ijahger everywhere except among the Gentiles. He now is back at the place of his birth. The first a d best place for one’s testimony is in his home.|Snul’s conversion was typical of the conversion of the Jew ish nation. Their eyes will be opened by a personal revelation of Jesns Christ to them, and when they accept Him as their Savior and Messiah, they will go forth as witnesses to the Gentiles. V. Saul Teaching at Antioch (11:25, 26). The work at Antioch so prospered In the Iiands of Barnabas that he went to Tarsus for Saul to help him in the work. Saul returned with ,Barnabas and ministered for a whole year. Tlie disciples were first called Christians at Antioch. This name re sulted from’ Paul’s teaching, Instead of being given in derision, as is fre quently taught God’s Program The program of God is not con cerned with time. With Him a thou sand years are as a day. We are too short-lived to criticize His providence.

Supt. Lawrence and a class of or phans were present, an excursion, “loaded down with humanity,” was run from Winston, and the speakers were Major Duncan, of South Carolina, and C F. McKes son of Morganton. The officers for the year 1895 were: F M. Johnson, W. M.; W. T. Woodruff, S. W.; V. E. Swaim, J. W.; T. B. Bailey. Treas.; A. Henly, Sec.; Will X. Coley, S. D.; H. C. Meroney J. D., A. M. Nail and W. C. Denny, Stewards; arid P. M. Bailey, Tiler. Under the date of May 17th, 1S95 it is recorded that "The Com mittee on the Picnic grounds re ported that Mr. Herbert Clement agreed to let the Lodge have the use of the picnic'grounds free of charge. On motion the Lodge voted to have our annual Masonic Picnic 011 the second Thursday in August. The amount raised this year was $510.- 37. Recognizing the Picnic as a yearly affair, the Lodge decided to purchase the grounds, which were solideally located for this purpose, so in January 1897 they bought^ five acres, more or less, from Her bert Clement, one of the heirs of John Clement. By 1898 it became necessary to have a much larger Committee of Arrangements, and whereas in former years there had been from three to six men to arrange for the Picnic, we find here a list of eigh teen, as follows: Committee of Arrangements, T. B. Bailey, J. Stewart, J. A. Kelly, R..C. Brown, and J. W. Jones; Gates and Grounds, W. T. Woodruff, W. A. Owens, W. C. Denny and B. L. Hopkins; Refreshment, W. A. Clement, S A. Jarvis, and V. E. Swaim; Table's, S. A. Woodruff, C. F. Bahnson, and J. A. Currebt; Homes; P. M. Bailey, H. E. Ro bertson, and W. L. Sanford. The officers for the year 1899 were: V. E. Swaim, W. M.; W. A. Owen, S. W., W. T. Woodruff, J. W.; J. B. Johnstone, Sec. T. B. Bailey, Treas.; W. C. Denny, S. D., B. 0 . Morris, J. D.; H. C. Meroney, Tiler. An importantstep was taken in March 1899 when the motion was made.and carried to build an arbor on the Picnic Grounds. On May 19th, 1899 the minutes state that “T. B. Bailey, chairman of the arbor committee, reported that contract had been let. for material to build an arbor on the Picnic Grounds.” A spacious arbor was erected, with a high raised plat form,, for the • speakers, orphans, and band, and it is still in use. In 1902 the statement is made that $335.65 was sent to W. J. Hicks, Supt. of Oxford Oxphac- age. The officers for 1903 were: W. A. Owen, W. M.; J. A. Cur rent. S. W.; H. C. Meroney, J. W.; B. 0 . Morris, Sec., T. B. Bailey, Treas., D. L. Dyson, S. D., Mar vin Waters, J. D.; V. E. Swaim, Tiler. The proceeds from the Picnic of 1903 to W. J. Hicks, a- mounted to $548.17. In 1906 the: officers were as fol lows:,- J. B. Johnstone, W. M.; Marvin Waters, S. W., R. B. San ford. J. W., B. 0 . Morris, Sec.; T. B. Bailev. Treas., W', A. Owen, S. D.; D.' W. Granger, j. D. The amount sent the Orphanage in J907 "was $ 935.96; and in 1910 which was the 32nd Picnic, the gratifying sum of $1511.03 was given to the orphans. The ciowds were now increasing from year to year, and fame of the Picnic was spreading far beyond the borders of the State. It was now becoming an annual “Home Coming Day” for former citizens of Ifccksville and Davie county who |pere living elsewhere. One of the'inost important committees has always been the Basket Com mittee. and on this J. F. Hanes, S. A. Woodruff, J. L. Sheek and ’ others have worked faithfully for many years, the chairman of this Committee now being John.. Larew. A great improvement has been made in the last few years id the viands can be set forth with no ones for many years to come, and fear of rain. The good women of this wiil be the greatest monument this town and county have sup- the Masons of Davie county could ported the Picnic from the begin- have, ning in a most loyal manner, and the fame of their culinary skill is far-reaching, for what would the Picnic be without the Picnic Dinner. On April 25th, 1925 the Order of the Eastern Star organized an enthusiastic chapter here, Mrs. Z. N. Anderson being the first Worthy Matron, and ner successor now be ing Mrs. Lester Martin. Among those caring for the or phans at the Picnic we would men tion Dr. and Mrs. R. P. Anderson, who always open theii home to the chapter during, their stay here. Among .Masons holding the of fice of Woishipful Master in re cent years are: S. F. Binkley in 1913; W. I. Leach in 1916; C. R. Nicholsou in 1917; Marvin Waters in 1920. In 1925 the amount raised for the orphans was $2,000, and in' 1926 the maximum was reached in the amount of $2,300. Let us hope that this good year 1928 will be the banner year of all the fifty. Officers for .1927 were:' R. L. Frv, W. M.; S R Latham, S. 'W; C H Tomlinson, T- W; Dr. L- P. Martin, S D; S/ C Stonestreet, J D; R B Sanford Treas; Z N Anderson S;c;‘D W Granger, Tiler. Orphans Committee: V E Swaim, E. C. Morris, Rov Holthouser. The recently elected officers for 1928 are: S R Latham, W M; C H Tomlinsoni S W; Dr L P Mar- 1 in. J W; R B Sanford. Treas; H C Meroney, Sec; R L Fry, S D; Marvin Waters, JD ; D. W Gran ger, Tiler; S M Call, Sr. Steward, Roy Holthouser, Jr. Steward.

He answers in part by show ing that the border States are not solid. The solid South consists of the states in the old Confederacy and does not include Delawarej or Maryland, Tennessee, Kentucky or Missouri.. From Texas to Virgi nia the states go Democratic pri mary is the decisive test. The Democratic primary is the decisive test. The small numbers who go to the great meaning. The South is solid, but the Republican candi date does get some votes. Vir ginia and North Carolina are -not more reliably Democratic than some northern states are reliably Repu blican. The writer in the Review finds a reflex to this solidity in the in creasing Republican vote in some northern states. - In eight, presi dential elections he shows that New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania Connecticut, Massachussetts and Illinois have voted by more than fifty per ceut against the Demo cratic candidate, that the percent age is increasing until in 1924 no one of these states gave no moie thdn thirty per ceut of its vote to Mr. Davis. In compact New Eng land it is noted that in the election of 1924 Mr. Davis leceived consi derably less than half as many votes as Mr. Coolidge. The Republican vote in the larg er norihern states is becoming greater. Even in those states which elect Democratic state officers, the Republican nominee for President remains in majority figures. It is notable that even in the' border states, which are Democratic, the presidential vote is often Republi- may grow into a mighty monarch can.—Scamore Post Standard. “ CAMPBELL & WALKER " FUNERAL DIRECTORS EFFICIENT SERVICE EXPERIENCED EMBALMER A complete line to select from.

The public, accordance to this man, went on the assumption that any man who aroused the enmity of Wall Street and the party bosses must be a pretty good man; and the public’s demand for Hoover helped bring his nomination. It’s,the old, old story agaid. We often, remain unimpressed by a man’s friends; but we can judge him by his enemies. Often it isn’t nearly so important who’s for you as who’s against you. ttttti ..............

Ifred E. Smith as President and also \ve,)t on recor(j against "all °ther wet candidates, whether nai- l0llaI. state or local” Their op* P .ion Was evnr*»cce»/t in a cpt of A New Road. State highway 90, holding a fair Iy steady east ana west course be tween Lenoir, in Caldwell, and th< Alligator river, in Tyrrell; has : brand new ribbon of pavement wesl from Mocksville, about nine mile;, to the hamlet of County Line at the Davie-Iredell bolder. Gang- and machines are at work gettiuj. the clay off the concrete slab anc building ..he shoulders of earth; tin public has not yet been fortnalh invited to use the road, because ol these operations. Bu? the slab ii there, a thing of beauty; the ulti mate, the user will suppose, in tin development of construction of tha’ fo.m of roadway. They build iin mensely better roads, as to feel anc appearance, than they built seven years ago. Whatever improve ment may be made in the future must be in other respects. The riding qualities of the-cars that are built to go upon these roads havt also been improved a good deal meanwhile; and between the twe sets engineers overland conveyance has been niadh a luxury indeed. So endeth.—with the opening the new Mocksv lie County Line road—an experiment that promised much when the internal cotnbus tion engine was young This road from Mocksville to Statesville useo to be called the national highway by the people of the vicinicy. It was built according to the ideas ol the. federal bureau of public roads, which stood spondor for it, as a demonstration of the type that has since come to be commonly known as “-top soil,” the essential prin ciple being a sand-clay affilatiou. Grading is the main item; and since the demonstrators of sand clay in their enthusiasm wished to make the best financial showing, the cheapest route to grade be tween two points ' was the route ordinarily followed. No account was taken of distance, or of the speed and safety factors involveo in the matter of curvature. They kept grades down but curved hith er and thither around the bills, much as, we are, assured, the cattk did in making the trials that were to the country's first roads. And it was neither time nur safety, noi yet the two in cuinbiiialiou, that received the emphasis m cousidera tion when the time can come to lay stone, asphalt, concrete. Pav- iug costs much more than grading, the less cost the modern road. And so the traveler gets safer and fastei locations. The new pavement on this por tion of Route 90 follows the gen eral lotion of the old "national highway” in somewhat the way that the straight follows, thht of the curved line in the $. Except at stream crossings little of the old grade is touched by new. The re sultant shortening is something like a mile, and more than that is represented in, the saving of time by the discarding S curves and horseshoes. The broader significance of this project is that it leaves only Coun ty Line to Statesville to be paved to give practically parrallel lines of hard road through the Piedmont from Greensboro to Statesville. In deed there are such lines at pre sent, with the exception of some four miles of county soil ioad be tween County Line Harmony. In the eatIv days, the complacent pro jectors of the Central highway gave it two routes, the/Wiuston Salem side not being content wi-h the ex1 elusion of-the one line of- the. pre- ent No. to.

Governor Smith, the De mocratic Flag-Bearer. Governor Alfred E. Smith, foui imes chief executive of the State 'f New York and a product of Tammany Hall in his political a- ihievements and now the Demo cratic party of the United States for the Presidency, bowled over his competitors for that distinction in the early morning balloting with tn ease and swiftness that left the opposition forces in a daze of disap pointment and frustration. It was. however, the coming true if the earlier prophecies as to what -voiild happen when the voting be- <an. As soon as the delegates got >n the grouud-at Houston, thore .iostile to Smith saw the coming of the inevitable and a batch of them ran to cover, making toe task of nanagers of the campaign of the New York Governor all the more rapidly accomplished. The Smith opposition was con fined chiefly to the group of South ern States that have been holdinB out tenaciously against him. For the most part, they maintained their adverse position toward him to the end, refusing even amid the enthusiasms aud elatious of the bandwogon movement to desert their cause and lose themselves in ardor for the nominee. That, in itself, is meaningful Without any disposition to attempt the slightest discrediting of the really amazing strength of Gover nor Smith in Hou -tou convention, it must be conceded at the outset that much of it came-.from, .States that are normally Republicans'and are going to remain Republican. The States that ar? traditionally Democratic, and upon which Gov ernor Smith must absolutely de pend to be elected, stood out for the most part against him. These are in the South. It is true, of course, that some of these States rolled over to his side when they saw the handwriting on the wall, but it is not imaginary to conceive that they had little heart tu that action. Others, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alaba ma. remained unmoved and these Stales, plus the others in the South that finally leaped over upon the chariots of the NcW York Govet- uor, constitute a strength in the electoral college that he must have in order to make a gesture toward .-,uccess. The nomination as dctei mined upon by the convention, while ac complished by a remarkably large vote aud surrounded by such pyro technics as. might indicated that Governor Smith has an excellent chance to develop'that uuity with in his party which is prophetic of success, is nevertheless, unaccep table generally throughout the aou.h, and thio.ghcut Ameiica, so far as certain classes of Demo crats are concerned. . Some have fought him ’ aud will fight hint yet because of the fact that he is a Roman Catholic. Some have fought him and will fight him still because he is an out- aud-out wet and in favor of the modification of the prohibition laws Some have fought him aud will fight him continuously because, to tueir way of thinking, he fails to measure up in all those qualities that qualify one for the great office of the Presidency of the United Statea^l.a,ckipK.^U environment,, in dignity, in depth of mind and in those personal attainments that we, somehow or other, tradijionally call for and expect to', find' flashing forth from the man who occupies the lofty American throne. Tb what exterit these objection/ able features associated with the candidate will.be overcome or for gotten bifweeu’now and Novetntter will determine the gait he goes in his contest with Mr. Hoover. It is conceivable that when the heat and • passion of these early hours have oecome only embers of a for m er flame of hostility, those who are shouting their anathemas against him today may fall in line and him at least the support of their ballots. But it is foolish to contemplate that Governor Smith’s, candidacy will not be reflected in a loss of Democratic National votes in the S >uthe, n Slates. Tens of thous ands of good Democrats will vote f >r Mr. Hoover and tens of thous- a ids more of them will not vote at all, thus, at least, cutting into the partv majorities in these States that have never had such an ex perience as this to contemplate in the last half century. There are some tilings that some people hold to be superior to politi cal expediency and ,opportunity.— Charlotte News-' Some Bitter And Some Sweet.

A number of candidates are iu the field. In the sheriff’s race it seems that the candidates have narrowed down to three—Kelly Cope, the present sheriff. Will N. Smith and C. V. Miller. It was reported that Graham, Holton and Everliardt were in tne race, but these gentle men have had no primary tickets printed and at.least one of them has informed us that he is not ask ing anyone to support him. Tnere may be a few deputies and town ship constables running. For treasurer S. C. Stonestreet, the present incumbent, has opposi tion iu ihe persons of G. Z. Cook, M. G. Foster, W. T. Myers, Wal ter Call and Frank Smith. Mr. Dyson h is decided not to enter the race this year. For register of deeds, E. D. Ijames, the present register, is op posed by Leo Brock, who is mak ing an active campaign. So far as we can learn W. D. Reavis is the only new man out for county commissioner. We don’t know whether the present board, consisting of Chairmain H. M. Deadmon, L. L. Smith and B. R. Bailey want to remain on the board. These gentlemen would no doubt serve were the people to ask them through the primaries, to do so. Mr. Deadmon says he is in the race for county commissioner. But little has been said as to who will be nominated for the legislature The names of A. T. Grant, Jr , and W. E. Boyles aie the only oues we have beard dis cussed. The Record trusts that the Re publicans of Davie will assemble at the various voting places on Satur day and vote for their choice for the various county offices. Only one man can be nominated for each of the following offices: Sheriff, register, treasurer and representa tive, and we trust that the couuiy convention next Monday will sett’e auy contests, and that it -will close with a regular old-fashioned love feast. The gentlemen who are running for office are good men and we believe that the Republi cans in the county will unite in an effort to see that every nominee is elected on the 6th day of Novein ber. Let our battle cry be peace and harmony, all working together for the grand old party of Lincoln, McKinley and Coolidge. . Since writing the above, Mr C. H.

Editor Record:—When our fore fathers established a government, they also created certain offices, and I learned from a perusal of their actions that the officers were to be elected by the people and commissioned to perform those dutiels in the interest of the people, that they should be men of good character, qualified to perform the duties pertaining to the office, that they should uphold the laws, and I entorce them without fear or favor, and that thetr tenure in office should be at the will of the people. My ideas gathered from close study has never made roe think that it was ever intended to create offices just to give certain people a job. Office Is A Public Trust—and how long any man holds the office is optional with the people. Today’s scramble for offi.:e can be attributed ROSEMARY OF TWIN BROOK No. 155176 A.
