SURVEY OF FORESTS '' Beginning 'in Wa^ke county, a survey of forest conditions that will extend into every county in North Carolina has been launched by the Forestry Division of the Department of Conservation and Development. R. C. Brown, who will do the field work for the survey outside of the regularly organized forest fire prevention districts, has start ed the work in Wake county un der the direction of State Forest er J. S. Holmes. In the organiz ed dikricts in the eostern and western, 'parts of the state, the field Work W ill be under the di rection of the district foresters. The survey will bo in tho na ture of an Inventory of forestry conditions, with which it is pro posed to tabulate tho amount of available standing timber, the spoc'iea, the uses and the amount of forest land that is producing and the amount t'hal is uiiproduq,- tive at present. State Forester Holmes stated yesterday that although the f.'aci- lities and timo will not allow as thorough study as is desired, it .is hoped that it would arouse re newed interest in forest resources so thnt counties would continue the worlf. One of the purposes of the sur vey is to show the amount of available timber that may be used in developing further wood-using industries in the state. It is ex pected it will aid also in guiding the state’s conservation poli'cies through providing basic informa tion.— News and Observer. 66 It Ain’t No Trouble 99 Thursday.

OUR BOOK FRIENDS Gabriel Wells had a Christmas card in which he says that there are three things that constitute a rounded out life: Power, Plea sure and Peace. 'I’he more we think of it . tho more this seems to be a very good definition. There is not much satisfaction in a life of no power. W hat gives zest to sport is tho employment of our powers and •we lall applaud the victor, that is, the man -who shows the most power. This in cludes both mentality; or mental accumen and skill. As for pleasure, they have learned a great lesson 'w'ho have found out the abiding pleasures of life are those that come from serving others. The pleasures that wq experience in merely re ceiving gifts or benefits, merely enjoying things that are our'own, the pleasures of ipossosslon and amusement are temporary and they fade. ■ But one who devotes his life to bringing joy into tho lives of others has an unfailing source of satisfaction. Peace comes from the firm es tablishment or connection of life with certain fixed principles. 'I’hore are some things which, when wo have decided upon thom. we lay on- the shelf, 'fhoy are not to be reopened. One who is continually arguing the ifunda- mentals is always in hot water and unsatisfied. T hai is the advantage of a be lief in God. it is something fixed and settled, a central sun about which all of our other thoughts and opinions may revolve. Of course tho belief in God does not imply any congeries of fantastic connotntions. One’s be lief in God may take many fonns, but it must have a central cora of repose, A life without inner repose is constantly buffeted to and fro' by contrary passions. One who has power sufficient to enjoy his ability to overcome obsta'cles. who takes pleasure in giving pleasure to others, and who has Inner repose enough to keep 'him content in the center of his being, can be truly said to live a somewhat complete life.

This vexed the great soldier, who blurted out, “Well, now you shall have It all, but at cost price. We will go d'own; into the garden, I will fire ut you six times, nnd then, if you arc not killed, everything shall be yiours.” Madame De Remusat. who relates the above story in her Mem oirs, does not state whether the friend was willing to take the marshal’s fame and wealth and title at cost or not, -but needless to say he preferred leaving the wealth and the prosperity and the titles with the Marshal, rather than to risk securing the sjime for himself fit coat price. How many miserable small men have drifted along in ease and idloneess while their boyhood frltjnds. were working nnd sacrificing and riskiii'g their lives and their health, plodding their way towards fame and honor nnd position, and then after they find themselves loft with the mediocre, or lower,, igo about croaking that so and so “got what ho has by questionable methods.” Suppose -such were given the same opportunity ns the great French Marshal offered his boyhood friend, nil of It at cost price, that i^’, all of it at the price (if hours nnd days and weeks and years of unceasing toll and worry and sac|rifice and danger. Would the envious one be willing to pay the price? Hardly. • ■ Young ipeople should get the lesson. The Duke of Dantzic was not always a duke any more than was Napoleeon an Emperor until he made himself one. He was born to an insignificent estate. Ho entered the French Army as a “buck private,” and was shot at more than sixty times before he became a Duke and a Field Marshal. He served for 19 years before he was even promoted to the rank of captain of infantry. And that struggle of 19 years. Those were tho years during which ho paid dearly for his later titles and wealth and po.sItion. For when he igot started, after the long, slow, strug gle, he was within another two years a. General and within another docado a Field Marshal. But he paid for his fame at tho risk of his life, by self-denial, hard living and patient, untiring toil, nnd ho paid during those first 19 years, while his boyhood friend who later envied him, was doubtless having a good, easy time. How many are willing to pay the price, of succefls? GREATNESS TAKES CARE OF ITSELF 51 CHILDLESS UNIONS .

The iceman left it there.” The ancient city of Corinth, where Paul preached and taught, and where Timoleon. the great patriot, through love for his city, drove from power and murdered his own brother whom he believed to be a tyrant, has at last been complet^iy destroyed, beyond re pairs, aiccording to a news dispatch from Athens the 24th. Several earth shocks hit the old town in rapid succession and four-fifths of the houses ■\yei'e shaken-to pieces and the others made too danger ous for habitation. A'Greek official is reported as having said that the,city can’t be rebuilt, or that rebuilding would be an Impartical undertaking. The destruction of this once great city brings to mind many historic events which took ipl^ce thero. It was at Corinth that Alexander was named as lender of the Greeks against the Persians. IThere St. Paiul resided for a year and a half, and it was to the Corinthians that he wrote, “For I delivered unto you first of all thnt which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins accordinlg' to the scriptures; and that He was buried', and that ,He rose againi the third day according'“to tho scriptures.” Corinth was known as “The Star of Greece.” It was razed by the Romans in the year 146 B. C., and was rebuilt by Julius Ceasar just a hundred years later. It was the mother of many great colonies, among them having been tluit gi<eat city of aiicient Syracuse. At the time of Its total destruction a day or two ago, it was supposed to have had a population of appi’oximately 160,000.

DAVIE CHARGE You just have to hand it to Charles Lindbergh, He pulls thirll- ing stunts, and he does them without making proclamation in ad vance. Before you know it, Lindbergh has already done it. His latest stunt was to hop off from New York for Quebec with medicine for the noted aviator who was stricken with pneumonia While on a recent North Pole fiight. The sic'k man was brought back as far South as Quebec whero he was left in a hospital. Llndy made the trip from New York, a distance of 500 miles, through'rain and sleet and snow, in just'three hours and forty-two minutes. That fellow is one of the wonders of the present age, and that’s all there is to it. -------------0------------- A M ULTIPLICITY O F REASONS The defeat of the county-wido eight months school election Tuesday was not so much due to the fact that Stanly county voters are not interested in education, but rather to a combination of con ditions and circumstances. Many things figured in the defeat of the movement, principally among these being the ipresent high taxes. The property assessment was raised the past year and that, with a 20 per cent increase in levy shot the taxos of the average Stanly county property owner up to the painful point and helped set the heads of our people against anything that, niight even look like a raise in taxes over what they are at this time.

The Southern Railway System is one of the South’s largest industries, and through the service it renders it is a vital factor in the ^owth and prosperity of the South.

As an Ameri can having long family associa tions with the Carollnas, I found myself delightedly handling what ut once rjecognized as a genuine Antiquarian ‘find’: for each of tho five shapely pieces making up the set bore the following inscription: ‘In grateful remembrance of tho gallantry of Captain Johnston Blakeley, late of the U. S. Navy, who, during a short cruise in the Sloop of W ar Wasp, in tho year 1814, captured the two British Sloops of W ar Reindeer, and Avon, and waa afterwards lost at aea.

Thia. aervice ia a of August, when two iprizes were taken in the first three days. Ten enemy merchantmen wcre 'then sighted, under the powerful guard of tho ‘Arma da’, carrying 74 guns. The ‘Wasp’ was at that time on the edge of the Bay of Biscay in ia veritable hornet's nest as regards enemy Sail; but Blakeley circled like a hawk about- the convoy, and although chased off repeatedly, he finally cut out and sunk o ship laden with militiiry stores. Continuing to hover audaciously around the fleet, the ‘Wasp’ shortly descried the approach of various enemy sloops of war, one of which, the ‘Avon,’ waa aeparated from tht! othera. » “With almost inaane valor, Blakeley aet atout attacking thia vesael before full nightfall came with ita promiaed aafety for him in flight from his numerous op ponents. Cutting across the ‘Avon’s’ bows, 43 minutes of furi ous night fighting took place be fore the eneniy struck his colors. The other hostile aloops then came up, and one fired her lee guna into the rigging of the “Wasp,’ whoae commander with desperate bravery made ready to fight against .his more 'powerful adversary. Repeated signala of diatreaa coming from the fast sinking ‘Avon,’ the two British ships turned away, while the ‘Wasp' waa put before the wind for aafety and repair. Blokeley had been, in reality, opposed by no less than four enemy battle ships at much the same time. “News of this second striking victory of the ‘Wasp’ against such odds greatly revived the drooping spirits o'f America, and .brought peace perceptibly nearer. Prepar ations were made by both North Carolina and the Nation to honor worthily the heroes of the ‘Wasp’ on the conclusion of their victor ious cruise. Meanwhile, other captures were made by them, in cluding the enemy brig ‘Atlanta’ on September 21, shortly after which the war-battered ‘Wasp’ and all her valiant men founder ed, presumably oiF Madeira. “When all hope of their return S m art- - * .BDICK leads the fiishion patade Fashionable throngs . . .

AN APOLOGY— BUT NOT FROM THE POSTMASTER The j tions spring into existance, or fnde awny nt the sound of this awful voice. Corrupt conditions may exist for awhile, and even seem to have the control of soci ety, but ns surely ns the advnnce of time, is the nppronch of the reckoning. There is in existnnce, mnny a political organization feeling sure, as Big Bill, of it’s ability to deceiv^e the public as to public opinion^ but woe to that machine. It is as the spaniel be ing ignored by the^ great mastiff who will sooner or later reach the end of endurance and put an end to it all with a single snap. Yes, about the most laughable thing visible, is a few self-constituted bosses so blinded by their own opinion. Is it personal? Then egotism aa to trifle with public Jearn n leâson. Last Thursday evening we re ceived four correspondences thnt hnd been mniled us from Advance and had been ‘‘mis-kent” to Farm ington instead of coming on to us as they should hnvo come.

Palmyra Tree, aboard the yacht Rainbow, discovers a stowaway. She is disappointed in his mild appearance and tells him so. Obeying his command to glance at the door, she Bees a huge fierce, copper-huedi man with a ten inch knife between his lips. The stow away, Burke, and the brown man, Olive, go up on deck and tell fitories of aSventure which are not believed. ' Palmyra decides she loves Van. The night the Biigagement is an nounced the Rainbow hits a reef. John .Thuraton rescues both Van and Palmyra— but Palmyra thinks Van saved her. A sail is sighted .after three days on an island. It is Ponape Burke, the^ stowaway 1 Burke ab- . ducts Palmyra. Burke has to put her ashore on an island, as a Japanese man-of-war is .sighted And it would be dangerous to have her aboard.

He had filled the thing'at the bot tom of the ocean a hundred feet from land. Yet now he drank. She took the sphere when he offered it agai^ and tasted experi mentally: sweet, fresh water; clear, cold as from a spring. The girl drank dee.ply. Then holding the shell upon her knees, fihe sat for 'a long time, looking covertly at this brown being. ■He had all but given life itself that she might have the water ,she craved. And he would have given life itself had she taken his knife and not granted her own. He would be— dead 1 The brown man pointed to the Band in the canoe — an island. Then he extended his arm; the island was I'ocated; there ahead and somewhere, unseen, to star board, Then he flattened out his palm horizontally, la-'fl his cheek upon it, attemiited an expl'anation then closed hia eyes and began to snore. Soon would this nightmare of wind and sea be ended.'Soon would s’he be liberated from this rack of torture. She could throw herself down in never-waking filumber, ^ Her iiand stole toward the open ing of her dress and her fingers closed, caressingly, over the han dle of the knife hidden there. For Olive had given it back. The topmasts of the Pigeon of Noah appeared, Olive snatched down sail and mast. He lashed them flat. With a glance he as sured himself everything aboard was secure. Then, paddle in hand, he kept their craft to the hollow of the seas. But on, on came the topmasts, tho ix)psails, 'rising against the pky. The girl gasped in terror. On came the sails, un nnd on, nearer and nearer, taller and more iflefinite— more ■grwitly to be dread ed. And then, in this awful mom ent, without word of warning, olive spring overboicrd. Palmyra uttered a wail. After all he had braved, to forsake her now? To struggle. With another stroke he recaptured the canoe, bottom up. He put his foot on the outrig ger; tilted the hull so the impris oned air esca'ned. W ith one arm he bore down npon the canoe, their combined weight, to «ink it and control its motion. The other arm 'held the itirl, submerged, so that she choked and fought for breath. On, on ihe Lnpe-a-Noa indeed had come, nearer'and nearer-i^but n'ot too near. Careening under its spread of sail it had been unbe lievably 'Close and then, all un knowing, had flown away. Pon ape Burke, with his (binoculars, had gl'ared straijarht over them in his scrutiny of the more distant sea. He placed the girl’s hands on the now buoyant canoe, returned its gear, lifted himself up and in. H « had stooped fior the more dif ficult feat of hauling Palmyra a- board when, stairtingly he let go his hold with a guttural cry. She turned frightened eyes ov er her a'houl^er, then screamed. For there,, cutting the surface, a little jet of spray rising from ita edge, was another sail— the dread ful lateen of a shark! The man-eater was almost upon her. Frantic, she turned her eyes to Olive. There he stood, for the first time at fault. His hand, with lightning in,«)tinct, 'had flown to the shath of his bolt, found it empty. The girl saw that, in throwing his knife away, she had made Jier own death certain. But, instantly now, tho savage rallied. Only for a second did paralyzing discovery unnerve him. The s'hark had all but .seized its victim ,' A moment and action would bo too late. But in that flash 'of time tho man leaped, land ed with his feet upon the shark’s back, 'rhe impact threw the mon ster into brief panic. She tore at hor dress; thrust out the knife. He snatched it: dived. Just aa the man-eater made to seize its prey, Olive dropped be low the surface. The heavy fish had ino chance to >stop. As it swept over his head the savage thrust upward with the knife in a lunge th'at reached the heart, Olive did not wa.ste time over the adventure of the shark. He had killed sharks before. Throwing the canoe into its course, he sailed on for the island. For an interval they went on, before it beicame evident that Ponape Burke had made them out. Presently the schooner Was so close Palmyra could make out Ponape Burke on its deck, cover ing them with his glasses. The reef wall wns now so im mediately at 'hand she could see that this rim, by reason of the coral broken ofl’ and packed down by the trample of the surf, was higher than the rest of the reef behind, the surface or reef-table, which outstretched inland to the beac'h. The barrier was armored in brown knobs of living coral, with their toothed faces like a giant nutmeg grater against which the sCa could grind the canoe into splinters. And now, as the girl looked, Olive dug 'hi.s paddle in, put all his weight upon it. The craft veered and took a new course— straight for the reef. Palmyra sat stunned. She had 'hoped a- smile. If Olive chose death to defeat, so could she. But, such her faith, ahe felt that, impos sible 'as it seemed, he must still think to escape. ■ Now, as her navigator began to calculate the seas, to hold the canoe back at times. Palmyra saw there was a slight recession shore ward in the line of the reef. It swung in at this point just suf ficiently to create a lee. The’surf did not burst upon it Avith the direct drive of the wind nnd, pro tected through most of the yenr from the sweep of the trades, not so much broken coral had been' packed down here 'and the rim was lower. In a flash she 'perceived that he must have had this place In mind from tho first; that, the tide in their favor, it might be possible, in suiflciently skilled hands, to hurdle the reef. There wns just one phase in the rhythm of the surf when he could succeed. He must catch the moment when the wave had 'crash ed down upon ' tho coral teeth; when the violence of the impact had abated, but not one second of the precious after inrush had been lost. For, if that had not carried him far enough, ho would be caug'ht by the recoil to follow, when the water flun'g' upon the reef poured back into the ocean. Olive paddled furiously to get far enough In so that the back- sweep could not grip them, drag thera down to destruction. Near ly ho had succeeded. But, the recoil having rained the coral al most bare, the outrigger struck a knob of the limestone, broke from tho canoe. Instantly, the man leaped, caught tho girl up in his arms. He .sprang upon a coral bouldor that raised them above tho slid ing water, 'rhe canoe auckcil back over the brink, but Olivo held. The moment the downrush end ed, ho raccd with his burden, bounding over the rough coral, until he had reached another knob rising above the level, perhaps fifty feet in from the edge. Here they weathered the next sea and its subsequent retre'at. Another idash across the shal lows and they were safe from the ocean. But not as yet from Pon ape Burke. As the brown man carried Pal myra, her face, over his shoulder, was turned toward the Lupe-a- No'a, The girl saw that tho schooner, beaten at last, had gone about and was working back out of danger. She saw that the white man had clambered ■‘part way up the rigging. And then she gave a warning cry as, from the shrouds, there flashed out a spurt of flame. Instantly, Olive, understanding, threw himself flat into the three- foot water, A bullet came cut ting along the surface almost where they had st'ood, Olive, leaping up, sprang with the girl behind another boulder in time to escape a second bullet. Several shots Ponape iSurke fir ed in his jealous rage, though now he had no target. Then, the Pigeon of Noah gaining way, drew oflT, and the pursuit, in this phase at any, rate, was ended. The four looked from one to anotrer, hesitant. At 'her first awakening the girl Incarnate there before this is lander’s eyes on the Rainbow, she had been no unlike a goddess; >a being—^as indeed she was— from another world. A high white had 'been told how the Okayama ^ princess, called for the stately had brou'ght her pe6p|e into this h'arbor on the search. "You, you don’t mean. . .” She paused, incredulous. “You don’t mean the gunboat was right here when I came ■and didn’t steam out to catch him ?” She saw that this unbelleveablo thing Avas true. Unexpectedly, she sprang to her feet. “Where’s Olive?”' ¡Her voice rang sharp, frightened. • ■ But Olive himself was asleep. Her father began to e.vplain. "The Pigeon of Noah is an Ame rican vessel. . . . ” . "And there's been so much fric tion between Japan and America,” interjected the mother. “And Commander Sakamoto was su're if he seized the schooner on the high seas it would get into the American papers wrong and stir up more misunderstanding and ill will. ...” “So, my dear,” finished Cons tance Crawford, "you wore sacri ficed to the ends of diplomacy. The Jap, finding you safe, decided tho lesser evil was to let Burke escape.” ' • "iDr. Orife’s just had a long talk with Olive,” said Mrs. Craw ford. Dr. Crife of the mission was their 'host. The girl exclaimed in'astonish- ment. "He can, he can talk to him. He can understand him ?” She seemed hardly to believe. So utterly, with her,/ had the brown man been beyond reach of words, it had soomnd no one, with Ponape Burko gono, could ever bridge t'h'iit gap bolwccn Babel’s most diverso languages, “And to think,” cried Constance “they got tho letter all wrong.

Scarcely had the canoe'changed course than the Pigeon of Noah als^ swung' in toward the 'reef. Palmyra could see Ponape Burke waving his arms, shouting orders. She gave one shuddering gl'ance at the cauldron ahead, then back to the white man. The race was run. And even now, in confirmation, Olive sprang u^p, lot yo the sheet, slashed the cords that held the- CHAPTER X I Olive m'arched proudly up the sands, the girl in his arms a dead burden. The a'ifle fire, as was to have been expected, had brought the villagers running from their thatches. Scarcely had the brown man emerged out of the sea than these Micronesians were swarm ing down. Excited voices filled the air. "0-lee-vay—0-lee-vay— 0-lee-vayl” Bo thia, then, was where he could bring her; the home of his people, the place of his own abode. Here were 'people moving about, brown men, yellow men, white men; the last in white ■clothing and white, shoes, with white'pith chief young lady Palmtree,” The girl settled back 'among her pillows. Tears welled into her eyes, “It W'as enough that I should have wronged him,” she said. “It is unthinkable you 'all should 'have been guilty of this crowning misconception,” She shifted uneasily, lay for some time in silence, gazing thr ough the window. “If they hadn’t bungled the let ter,” she said at last wcarilJ^ "I should have been spared much. And if you hadn’t let Ponape Burke escape, I shouldn’t now be in danger still.” I At last Palmyra 'could talk to' Olive. After all these days and years and' centuries of silence, they two, by the intei’vention of Dr. Crife, had been made articulate. She learned that the brown man served Ponape Burke in a debt of gratitude; the saving of his life. He had for this white >nascal a sort of love, but no sort of re spect. - Great soulfl miist, of their nature, suflTer petty tyranny. And Olive — often, according to his li'ghts, regretting^ disapproving, always palliating — followed the despicable little Ponape. She learned that Olive had not known Bu'rke meant to 'abduct her. And she found that in the beginning he had thought it, not an abduction, but an elopement. Only when the schooner got under way did he perceive that life-giving palm and crowned with hair of flame, she had con descended to him with blankets when a brown creature was in misery with th'at most terrible of things— cold. Olive was not in love with Palm Tree, One does not consider one self privileged to fall in love with a goddess. But from the deck at her feet, intimately yet afar, he had gazed up at her— fascinatod. If Palmyra now knew how Olive felt toward her, she was far from knowing hov/ she felt toward Olive. And if her only ■difiiculty with Van Burejp Rutger had heen a re luctance to give him pain, she found every difficulty with John Thurston. Van himself had made things easy. .'Returning to the mission nt a late hour the third night he had come upon Olive prowling about with la. rifle. “Ponape la not dead,” the brown man had explained simply. But that which 'others looked upon as a touching mani festation of devotion, Van chose to regard with suspicion. “Sakamoto shall know of this,” was.his com ment. Paimyra had 'been so incendsed that, there and then, she ■ had broken the engagement. Van’s dismissal 'placed him in thnt 'position wherein a weak man not infrequentl.v lacks moral courage to turn upon his real rival. He must find un easier target for' his resentment, '.I'hus Van, without in tho least jierceiv- ing why, remained amiable to ward 'riiuraton, but developed an ugly spite against this man of darker skin. But if Palmyra had freed her self of Van, she could not free herself 'of th'at which withheld her from Thurston. Back there in the canoe, in her moment of revelation, she had yearned to meet him once more, face to face, that she might tell him the truth. But now that, astonishingly, she had awakened into the old life,.she found her self quite unr-“ady bo step up to him with any such confession. She willed to love John Thurs ton; she did love John Thurston, ijut between them was the brown m'an Oli.ve,'" and, leering from be hind his elbow, the face of Pon ape Burke, Concerning Olive- she tried to justify herself on the ground of gratitude. Never had a 'girl more reason tto be 'grateful. Was it not .natural she should be eager to take him presents, to sit in his house questioning, to find her self hour by hour more curious concerning him, more interested in him thnn in any other living being? Oddly enough— or -rather, na- tu'iially enough— it did not come to her for some time to ask whether she might be in love Avith this brown man. Then tho idea struck like an unexpected blow. She was stunned. At first she put the thought from her in abhorrence. But in the still hours of the night it came back again and again. Could she indeed be in love with Clive? Was it possible for an American girl, under any circumstances whatever, to fall in love Avith a man of darker race? She shuddered to think others mi'ght believe this thing of her. She avoided Olive, kept to her room. She struggled to anal.vze her emotions, to weigh them ■dis passionately. And, honestly striv ing, she was at last able to say of herself th'at, in no sense, could she be accused of loving him. Not for long did she find the answer. Then it came like release from a' prison cell. She was in love, not with Olive himself, but with his attributes. She wanted to love John for the true manliness that was his. But, alas, those splendid qualities the two posseaaed in common had come to seem the 'personal quali ties of Olive alone. She remem bered how ho had gone after the shark with the knife. . .and con quered, . .

A few days ago I walked into a cafe to get a cigar, 'I'he waiter was busy and so I stood waiting patiently. He saw me and was hurrying, but just as he started to ask me what I wanted, a big 'uply fellow swaggered up and demanded a soft drink.

In effect, о plant facility for the Induetries controlled and Influenced by the Dake InterestB, and that Its oper- ' ation would result In a violation of tho commodities clause of the Hepburn Act. Tho applicant contends that the community of interest which exists, or is alleged to exist, betweon itself and the Duke Power Company and Its affiliated companioa is neither Im- pruper/illegal,, nor opposed to the public interest; that stock ownorshlp is Industrlos by tho Duke Interests is sot now used and never has been ac quired or used to Influence traffic to 1]iu applicant; that hauling coal to the jitcetfl of tHo Southern Power Com- .pany will be a comparatively small part o t tte bUBlnesB, and is not Illegal nor oppoaed to the public Interest; that the pro po te i extensions would b« built to serve the public generally, not to serve <l!0 Duke or other allied interests; and 12>at tho public demand for the ex- tenstone Is unanimous. It admits that 4 echniually the hppllcant is controlled b y the so-called Duke Interests, but claims that the truo ownership of the ■tock la vested In a Very largo num- .ber of stockholders:' Ownership of Stock, ' "Tlioro nre outstanding 86,841 shares ^>f the iipplicant's c.a pital stock, of ^ ilc h the Duke Power Company own» 10,090 shnroB - and tho Duko Farmi- ■Company owns 34,309 eharos.

The trust in denture provides'that 20 per cont ol the not income of tho Endowment must be retained and added to the cor pus of the trust until tho sums so added shall amount'to 140,000,000. In tho event that Duko’s daughter, Doris should die without ieeue, there may be another large addition to the trust fund. The trust funds may be in vested only in the Bocurltles of the Duke Power Company or Its subsidia ries or in Government, State or mu nicipal bonds. Tho trustees are re quired, when they have funda to iii- vieet, to lend them to thesp compa nies or to buy their securities, ,to tho extent that such loans or securitieH are available on eatisfactory terms.

Tho Doris Duke Trust and the Duko Endowment will, therefore, held 11,4HC and 32,903 shares, respectlv(.'l.v, of the applicant’s capi tal stock. Because the stock held by the Duke Endowment will be only 38.4 per cent of the stock outstand ing, tho api)llcant contends that the so-called Duke Interests will not ox- orelse control ot the applicant.

The applicant’s president testitlod that the large hold ings in Judson Mille wero not acquired to influence traffic.

C.—Oho of the greatest centers of activity In tho entire Pied mont region Is the transfer station for the concentration and assortment ot less than n car load freight, operated by tho Southern Railway System In connection with its Spencor terminals. The ' name "Spencer Transfer" Is more widely known among traffic men, shipping clerks and railway yard clerks'and Is written moro often dally all over the United States than that of any other freight station In the South. . From Spencer Transfer an average ot 275 cars ot freight, mado up In large part of the manufactured products ot tho Piedmont section, are shipped dolly to a wide variety of points, rang ing from Boston, Mass., aiul Mechan- loville, N. Y„ on the Baat to Chicago, Minneapolis and Kansas City on the West, to New Orleans and Houston. Texas, on the Southwest and to Hav ana, Cuba, on tho South, Conversely, cara aro loaded Into Sponcer from all important manufac turing and concentrating points in the East and North, containing shipments tor distribution throughout the South. Great Clearing House. Spencer Transfer is tho Southern’s great. clearing house tor freight moving to tho Bast. Tho move ment has now reached a volume which makoB it possible to load dally cars to all important Eastern and Now England oities, including ,ten distri buting points In the Greater New York district. As a result, shipments from the Plodtnont region which are loaded to Spencor are there placed in eoltd care which move direct to final destinations, eliminating the numer ous transfers en route which wero formerly necoasary. This has proved a very Important benefit to manufac turing plants in the South, enabling them to compute on a freight service baslB with plants locatod at any point iu the United States. In addition to the Greater New York depots to which cars aro loaded from Spencer, other destlnatioaB in tho East are as follows: Boston, Springfield, Mass.; Now Haven, Conn.; Cedar Illll TranBtor, Provldonco, R. 1.; Boston & Maine TranBtor at Mochnnicvlllo, N.

Cars nre also loaded at Spencer for all important points in the South and tor peddler sorvice on local freight trains ot the Southern, Movement to the West. To tnke care ot the growing move ment of manufactured products from'] tho South, moving to the West, and to avoid backhauling, the Southern open ed a new transfer station at John Se vier Terminal, near Knoxville, Tenn., in October, 1925. This has relieved Spencor of handling tho greater part ot the buBinoBB for the West as 'ftolld cars are loaded to John Sevier Trans fer from all Important stations on tho Southern and by a large number of manutactuiing plants. However, sufficient -.'olumo of busl- noBS is Btlll concenirnted at Spencer to Justify the loading ot dally сагв to Kansas City, Chicago, Minneapolis and St. Paul, Detroit, Mich.; Springfield, Ohio; New Orleana and Ilouston, Texas.

I |Ria'leig»h, May 16. — Beaufort I county farmers havo again led : the field in tho shipment of car- I lots of fat hogs during the month 1 of April. In March they sold 25 cars for which they received $31,- 555.98, Again in April, they sold 26 cars, for which they received $32,069.63, making a total income for tho two months of $63,625.61. “This moans that a few farmers following good methods of breed ing and feeding their hogs have plenty of ready cash to begin their work this season,” .says W. W. Shay, exponent of thlft system of feeding ancl well known exten sion worker at State College. “The growers received an average net price of $8.21 por hundred pounds after deducting their expenses. This gives a return of $1.08 per bushel for all corn fed the ani mals when iproperly supplement ed by fish meal and minerals.” If .properly fed, these hogs ate an average of about nine and three-fourtha bushels of corn each, since last October, or a total of 35,782 .bushels. During the same period oach hog gained about 150 pounds. The price of corn from November first to May first, would average around 80 cents a bushel. It costs aboyit 75 cents a bushel to produce corn when 30 bushels to tho acre aro secured. Thc profit on the 35,- i 782 bushels sold as. grain ‘at 80 cents would amount to $1,789.10 but sold aa pork through the I hogs, tho profit advanced to $11;- j 808.22, Thia ia an increase of I 560 por ceint and is certainly good I money on the investment, thinks I iMr. Shay. ' Tho prico of hogs haa boon low- ! or than usyal this season and tho j growers did not mako tho monoy ; that they, would- havo made had I the mai-ket been normal, How- I ever, this ono experience by the farmers of Beaufort county shows the possibilities of seilling corn as pork in a state where one- third of tho cultivated acreage’ is i devoted to the production of corn. New York, May 10.—^^When the new Hudson, River bridge, con necting Fort Washington in New York and Fort Lee in New Jersey, is opened to traffic in 1932, it Avill be. by far the Largèst bridge in the world. That distinction now is held by the Quebec cantilever bridge, with a main span of 1,800 fceti The largest existing suspension bridge is that between Philadelphia and Camden, over the Delaware River, ivhich has á main span of 1,750 feet. The new bridge, also of suspen sion type;’ ipiractically doubles these figures with a span of 3,- 500 feet, betiveen its two towers. It will have a total length of 4,- 800 feet. Each of the tow rs will be 650 feet high— nearly as tall as the Woohvorth .Building— resting on solid rock iben’eatb the water. They AviH'contain 80,000,000 lbs. of structural steel, encased in reinforced concrete masonry, and will measure 40 feet by 160 feet at thedr lops— Large enough to completely surround the Wash ington Monument. The new bridge will be the cost liest as well as the largest. When completed, it w ill represent an expenditure of approximately $75,000,000. About ..$60,000,000 of this total will bo spent before thè bridge is opened.

Altogether it looks as if a»’t, if it is to have a firm foundation, must rest upon the basis of tho despised demos. It»isi the fashion of the intel lectuals to deride the public and to ‘think that only a few chosen ones can appreciate or be bene- fitted by the works of art. The newest invasion into the ranks of art, if it ean be called an art, ia the motion picture. This isi tho most capillary of all arts. It gives to the least and lowest and provides him entertainment which heretofore v.'as for those only who could pay from a dollar u'pl for a seat 'at the theatres. For this reason it appears that tho moving picture industry, re sting as it does upon the appre ciation of the whole 'public, ia firmly settled and is in line with democracy. The Kings. Mountain association led the whole state with $93,000. ptl^or associations in the. grou'p gave as follows: Sandy Run $26,- 000; Buncombe, $22,500; French Board, $17,500; Haywood, $13,-, 300.

According to Prof. ILiggins, the Haywood association had thq smoothest working organization of the state, which went far be yond the quota allotted to this association. The same was true of the Transylvania, Yancey and French Broad associations. A larger per cent of the associa tions in this section went over the tpp than in any .other section of the state.

From tho green feed,, the pullets get, certain food ete- ments and iron луЫсЬ Is essentinl- ,If natural shade is not available, ,an artificial shade may be made by driving four stakes in the ground and covering thom with sacks. Sunflowers or corn may also be planted to supply thia necessity.” For those young pullets still in the brooder houso, the heat shauld be decreased as fast As possible and the house ventilated. The stove should remain in tho housé for at least two weeks alter the firo is out to use in ease of,cold rains. Feed the scratch grain, farther away from the house each dny so tho birds will go out and eat more green feed. For roosting, Mr. Parrish -ad- visea the placing of temporary perch poles in the brooder houso when the chicks are about 7 to 9' weeks old and do not need heat. Those poles ahould be about 15' inches from the floor ahd slanting at an angle of 46 degrees. One- inch mesh wire might bo used in front of the poles to rnake the' birds climb up. The normal egg production of mature hens during the month o f Мяу is t-wenty eggs per. bird,, states Mr. Parrish, and the , hens: should Я0 bo fed to géeurç] this- yield.

Tho more tender vegetubles may be planted in the open and a auc- ceaaion of crops begun. "Have a good crop of tomatoea thi.s year,” says E. B. Morrow, extens-ion -horticulturist'at State Colloge. "The mid-seaaon varie ties may/be planted now and it is wise to get the seed started some three or four v/eeki before the plants are needed. Give theae plants plenty of room so that they will grow stocky ahd strong. The early tomato crop might well be staked for best result?, Dr|v0 down a ata'ke aix-fcet long' and tie the plants to this, using soft twine oil strips of old cloth. Prune to a single .ate.m,” Mr, Morrow aays'that tomatoes like phosphates and if the ferti lizer contained, less than 10 per cent of this material, it is a good idea to add about a gallon of sup erphosphate to eaeh 100 feet of' row. Successive ipBantingfl of corn for roasting ears shou.ld be made, state.s Mr. Morrow. The Norfolk Market and Tucker’s Favorite are two good varieties for the State but they do not contain a. high percentage of sugar. For real sweet corn, no varieties beat the Country Gentleman or Stowe'H’a Evergreen. Corn does best when planted in compact blocks rather than in long rows. 'Pollination is poor in the single rows and the eaiis will not fill with grain. Mr. Morrow suggests that gard eners be on the outlook for the cucumber beetle in the water melons, cantaloupes and cucum bers and dust with poisoned bor- deaux mixtures as soon as these bugs appear. The Mexican bean beetle will give trouble;wlth the snap benns, also, and ardust mix- tune of one pound of calcium ar senate to 7 pounds of iime may bo used succes'sfully in controil- * * ling this pest.

That this has beon our policy In granting cortlf- jcates ot exigency the record of post cases amply demonstrates. But de sire to avoid any undue restriction ol enterprise ought not to load us to ap prove now construction which in' volves needless, costly, and wasteful duplication of existing faollltles. That is what the law was Intended to pre vent. "Bxperlonoe and observation have shown that a proposed new line of railroad Is always desired by tho peo ple In the torrltory affected'. It the expression of such desire Is In Itself a sufficient reason for the' granting of a certificate, then tho law might as woll permit unlimited consfruotion. Plainly thero must be other orldenco that public convenience and necessity require a new line. "Here it Is not proposed to open up any new torrltory, but to build a third line of track parallel to and prac tically 'Within sight of an existing doublo-traok railroad which is ad mittedly providing good service and ia not used to anything like Its Inherent capacity. Tho attempted Justification for such duplication of faollltlos rests largely upon a claim of superior ‘flox- Iblllty’ in electric operation of tho, kind proposed.

No single aero yield, no ton acre yield Is greater than the average stalk yield within that acre or ten acre tract. It was with tho development of tlie unit, namely the stalk in mind, that tho National Single Stalk Cotton Show was conceived. "If we can stimulate the farmer’s interest In the single stalk nnd bring his attention to tho bearing of the stalk on his entire yield, our purpose In conducting the show will have been served."

AUCTIONEER ^ L L S 40,000 IN THIRTY YEARS AT , THE KENTUCKY STABLES Lexington, Ky.— “Are you all done? Is that your best, gentle men? The horse is yours, sir. Bring in the next animal." The gavel, comes down with a resounding thump. Another horse has boen sold at Tattersalls.’ 'High bred saddlers, thorough bred runners, trotters, hunters, driving horses and “nags” have 'passed to now, o,wners ^ for 30 years under the crack of the em phatic gavel of George A, Bain, a whito haired, ruddy faced man, known by hor.semon from coast to coast. During his career ho has disposed of more than 40,000 animals at prices ranging from ,$10 to $50,000. They came to Tattersalls, Lex ington’s noted sfllling stables, blooded animals from bluegrass fa m s in Fayette, Boiirbon, Merc er and other counties in that rol ling, limestone section of Ken tucky famous for its stock. Some are from huge breeding estab lishments, others come in lots of one to five from smaller places. The annual action here each March is attended byi thousands of buyers from many sections of tho United States, from Canada and from England. The'Lexington stable, pattern ed after the original Tattersalls, the English selling company, was opened i,n 1896. The name has, survived three fires, the last of which com(pletely destroyed the building in 1918. The present building is operated for private use throughout the year except for one week in March when the public auction is held. On either side of the 4i50-foot long corridor in the high wooden building are 'box stalls, and in the exact center of the structure, which is 70 feet wide, is an al cove fitted with tiers nf seat.^ for bidders. The thoroughbreds show their gaits by iparading up and .down the long central aisle in charge of negro stable boys. Then the animals are brought one by one before the 'buyers while the veteran Bain calls for bids. He swings his 'gavel as impressively for the spavined plug as for the prancing memiber of some royal equine family. _ 784 CIGARETTES, 3 POUNDS PLUG TO EACH PERSON According to statistics furnish ed by the Treasury Department at Washington last year, the aver age allotment of tobacco products was 784 cigarettes, sixty-two ci gars, three pounds of chpwing to bacco and smoking tobacco and one-third pound of snufi! for each person in the United States. Ci garette consumption has increas ed 200 iper cent d'u.nng the last. Possibly no other agency, or institution, o r pest or nuisance has worked more injury misery and distress on the 'human race than the quack doctor or patent medicine faker. He has always kept himself well enou'gh informed, he knows just enough about human psychology, arid mankind’s natural weaknesses to make him thoroughly efflcient as a “fisher for sick suckers.” And he 'has not neglected to fish, and where ignorance «.bounds', there the faker also flourishes and albounds still the more. Why in our ignorance and superstition we have so long let him fleece poor, ignorant, .suf fering humanity, wliy the laws of the land have so long let him prey upon man’s natural foar of disease and death, is more than we can undcjrstand. True, the patent medicine faker and the quack doctor are passing, with the dawn of more learning and the exoixiise of a greater degree of horse sense, but they are atill to be found here and there with their cure alls over nigfht. Howevc|r, with tlie growth and spread of education among the masses, the medicine faker is dtestined to lose out. Even now he is being ridiculed, or, to use a street expression, “laughed out of court,” and we are not certain if that is not about the quickest and surest way of getting rid' of him. About the finest example of this ridicule • was thnt carried' in the Progressive Parmer and recopied recently; In the Bulletin of the State Board of Healtlh. The article .wag headed, “Bait For Sick Suckers,” and ia a sort of ridiculouS. parody on the usual m,edicino faker’s advertisement. Read' it: ' “Do you feel bloated after eating, and have shooting pains in the stummick, and become dizzy after gazing over a .precipice?

Baxter F. McClendon (Cyclone Mack), in a sermon before an immense congregation at his tab ernacle here tonight, tore into political preachers and unmerci fully damned those eccleaiastics who deviate f'rom the ibuslnesa, of preaching the Goapel to meddle with affairs of State. “The busi ness of the preacher," declared the evangelist, “is to preach Jesu» Christ and bring .the .people to God. As,long as we preachers do thnt we havo few competitors, and if wo do that as we should', .we don’t have ttln^ for any other avocation.” "The curse of this country,” continued Mr. McLendon, “is that a lot of men who claim to be called of God to preach, Hia over- lasting Goapel, havo foraakoh their aacred calling of bringing sinnera to repentance aud are trying to dictate ' to the statea- men how this Government should be run. When our forbears fram ed and adoipted our constitution they wisely provided for the com plete separation of church and State, and our Protestant preach- ors ought to respect its provisions or oiioiily reiiudiatu tho docuniont.

For the simple reason that at heart there are still many persona who never think — and use their heads only as a place to paric their hats.” That paper then adds: “Bullbats destroy mosquitoes, and late in the summer evenings these birds are busily engaged in catching the insects.- But men and boys call it ‘great sport’ to destroy ‘man’s best friends’." Since the recent News-Herald editorial came out we have talked with several progressive farmers who declared that they are as ’care ful to conserve their birds as t'hey are the timber and other reaourcea of their farma. That’s fine, May the time soon come when Davie county farmers will use the same methods to save their birds which they now would to prevent thieves ft'om stealing eorn from the granary.

We will pay 24c cash for eggs. By Charles McSwain Well, I have qulfgiving nickles and dimes to every "good cause” that comes along, unless I am personally acquainted with that good cau.se and' also acquainted, or know something about the fel low who is accepting the money. I used to bo a regular contributor to the extent of a dime to every good'Cause that happened along. Made no difference to , me what tho cause was, if tho man said it was a good cause, I used to always fork nvor. I have learned bettor sense', now. Not so awfully long ago, a gen tleman approached me at my desk one day while I was hard at work, arid wanted money for a certain good cause. I thought it was a good cause, so I hand«d him fif teen' cents. Thirty minutes later I dropped into- a certain store to get a five cent cigar. I had’ scarcely lighted my five cent weed be-fore this fellow 'w'hom I had given fifteen cents dropped in and purchased a fifteen cent weed right before my eyes'. • I started d'oing a little think ing then, ibut not rigid thinking. Later another fellow called to see me and' told an awful hard luck tale. He was down nnd out and didn’t have a nickle and the doc tor aaid he needed medicine. Fifty cents was the amount he needed to g e i the medicine. According ly, I handed him over aeventy-five cents, thinking that, I would 'be liberal. I watched him go into a certain store nnd come out. Thinking that I would verify his atory I hurried into the place and asked what the fello\v bought., "Canned' heat,” was tho reply. Tthat started me to tiiinklng a little more, but still I had failed to come to my senses. Not so very long ago, a gentleman called in to see .me, on his way home to another town. Ho ¡iald that he needed a littlo money. Well, he represented a nationally known line of goods and I had been see ing him hero for several years on different occa.sions, "How much ' mone.v do you noed'V” I a.skod. ‘"Only five dollars," he answer ed. So I carried him around to tho bank and endorsed his check for five dollars. Something like a week passed, ancJ, hero camo the banker telling me to plank down, "Plunk down for what?” I queried. "Five dollars,” said ho— "re member that checlt, you told me to cash for that follow? Well, here it is.. Bank say.s' he has never had an account there,” O f course I planked down, there was nothing, el.se to do. I pro- fnised myself thnt I would break the man’s neck next time I saw him, but I have never seen him, I never waa broken from hand ing out real money for sundry good cause.s’ until aher I had en dorsed a check for a supposed' friend amounting to a month’s salary. I had that check to pay with several protest fees and oth er items of expense attached. That cured me. Cured me nicely. Now I would not endorse a check for even a brother. No; I would tell him that , it was against all my religious principl es. I have also stopped handing out nickles and' dimes. The trouble this day and time is that a man goes ahead and works himself nearly to death, and finally gets ,a little something; maybe a little shack with a green gourd vine growing in the sun about the door. He sits himself dovt-n in the shade *of his gourd vine to rest and meditate. He has no malice in his heai't to ward any man; he is at peace with himselt:' and the world. Then, along comes some felloM' and says'. "Listen you 1 you have prosper ed ; you have a portion of thia world’s goods; the Lord could take it all from you if Ho wanted to. Through no fault of yours you are not begging bread, need some mone.y for this good cause that I am representing. W ill you give it to me now, or will you wait until the’Lord i s compelledi to take it away from you?” Nine times out of ten, the iel- low gets up from the shade of his green gourd vine and thinks a minute. He thinks: "Well, what a miser and rascal I a,m. i\nyway. Here I have got this shack .and gourd vine and myriad people are begging bread. The Lord could tako it away from mio and then some,” Then he forks over his hard' earned cash. Ah, Avhat folly!,, T W HY W ORRY IN ADVANCE?, Stanly'. News-TIoi'ald. Uncle Noah Penninglon who is a consistent Baptist, but who is neither'a Mason, nor a Ku Klux nor .a .Junior (and we doubt whetlier or not he has a repub- ,!icanwifé) does; not love Al Smith. He found the following clipping in the Monroe Journal the othv day and challenged the Stanly Newa-Herald to reprint It: •‘‘A Dunn man who represents himself as being a Democrat, a Baptist, 'a Mason, a member of the Junior order and the Ku Klux klan and the husband of a Re- Ipubiiican-^vife, asks how is be going to vote for Al Smith. Looks like election day will be his day to go fishing.” If he goes to all the lodges that day, he’ll hardly have time for yotihif or fishing before sundown. Frankly*.we hardly know just what a domocrat Who is a Baptist, a Mason, a Junior, a Ku Klux and who has a i'epublican'wife would do on election 'd'ay Avere Smith his party nominee for president. But men have been facing and overcoming difficulties for ages, and there is no use for us to speculate on the pr'edicamsnt of such a fellow aa the one above describedi. FUNERAL OP MRS.

W il liams., 83 years; who passed away nt her home near Fork, was held at Fork Baptist church' May 19 at 11 o’clock. The services were conducted by Rev, E. W, Turner, her pastor, and aaaisted by Rev. June Carter. Surviving are 'her husiband, D. W. Williams, two sisters, Mrs. T. C. Sheeta, and Miss Jennie Hane- line, six childrein', Mrs', John Grav es, Mocksville; Mr. J. N.

"Havo you figured out your al lowance?” "No. W hat’s the use in bother ing about nothing?” ethical thing to do la to rlae up and kick the soliciting friend fif teen somersaults. Then aay: "My Jiood friend, I fain would give it all to the Lord if He takea a notion that He wanta it, but not you. Until the Lord gets ready to take my gourd vino, no ordinary man is going to share its .shade.” That’.-» the pro])or thing to do and say. I know because in my day J have simply been an addict for giving money to aundry good cause.s, and most of them turned out not to bo good causes at all. From now on, and in fact, al ready for some time, I keep ev ory cent I can get my hands upon. Now, if I take a notion to giye a little money ,t6 a good' cause, I aend it to an orphanage whero I know it la serving a real good cause. That’s the only way to do. If you make a giving maniac out of yourself, you will most cer tainly throw away lots of' good nickles and dimles on woi'thless' causes. Leaksvllle Newai The. sort of newspaper that would bo publiahed if everybody edited it would be . something wonderful, but nothing that any body would subacribe for. The newspaper busineda is perhaps the most competitive of any in existence. People who make up newanapera must have the m'as's of the people in mind every mom ent. No ne\va paper can live by catering to a choaon few. There is not in any community enough busincas to support a large newspaper designated es pecially for what are slangily called the highbrows. The high- biows are a vague class, but are commonly supposed to be the type of citizens who take no interest in any suibject except ono con cerning things that would bo dis cussed in a faculty of fine arts convention or a s.mposiuni of tho higher clergy. No newspaper made to fit a clientele of intel lectuals or near - intellectuala could aubaist on what the intel lectuals would be willing to pay. A new author made himself un popular some time ago by saying that aa far as he hati observed' most of the criticisms of his books had como from' that claas of .roaders 'who never buy books, but are keen on'borrowing them and picking thom to .pieces'. It might ibe said of some of thoso who are severest, in their condem nation of the press that they do not havo to'pay its bills nor do they contribute grfiatly to its sup port.

GLENN Veterinarian items of Interest From The Capitol Wasiiington, D. , C., May 13, by Charles E. Fox, who was Disi-, Aecordilivg to Senator Norbeck, trict Attorney of Philadelphia o f ‘North Dakota, à Republican county at the time the last elec- who has beem urging farm legis- tion waa;held in Pennsylvamia. latiori satisfactory to the farm ers and not of the character which the Cpolidge administra tion and the industrial bloc .in control of the present national adminotration woiild be willing to have enacted, if Herbert HoovM' becomes President the agricultural industry need not apply to him for any aaaistance. In a recent telegram to one of his aupporters in Indiana. Hoov er swid that he hoped' Congress would enact such a farm bill as the Pre'sident had recommended, Sen'ator Norbeck »aid that b6 far as he can diaeq.ver, the only kind of farmi legislation Hoover favors is a measure providing for loans to farmers, auch a measure, ac cording to Senator Norbeck, 'has not be’en requested by the farm ers', and they do not want or need iMr, Fox told the committee how Republican major,ities are manufactured in machine-ridden Philadelphia by faked registra tions, padded ballot returns, by voting men long ideadv the voting of patients who have been in the hosipitals for years, and one in stance was cited of a ten-year- old registered girl who was voted. - Mr. Fox’s story covered seven teen years obaervation in the County Prosecutor’s; office and in trying to indict and convict elec tion crooks. He told how, ward' andl district leaders of the Mel lon- Vare organ'ization system^ aticallyi attempted to prevent prosecution of their tools. As typical, of conditions, in tihat city Mr. Fox told how in one division of the Fourth ward of. Philadel- )phia twenty-five, fraudulent re- it. He added that the plea that giatratioris were uncovered', in- under such a plan some of this eluding the names of persons' borrowed money "might be used to stimulate the market was omly another w ay.pf saying that the funds would' ''ibe available for wholly unknown, aome who were unnaturalized 'and at least two who had long 'b.een bed-ridden hospital patpenta. Ho alao told | gambling on the board of trade i how in one word a 'husband had for the ipurpoae of booatingnbeen allowed to vote not only for prices.” Seniitor Norbeck said that by Ih,is Indiana telegram "Herbert Hoover has given notice to Con gress and to the farmers that if he is elected President they need not apply to him'. It can only be considered a declaration that the present policy of cheap food'; stuffs must be maintained in the interest of the larger industrial, dividends. The election of a candidate who approves the breaking of p'artyi pledges made four years ago would mean the final subm'ergenee of agriculture in America to industry.” Farm leaders are predicting that in the event of Hoover’s no mination for the Presidency by the Kansas City convention, mil lions of farmer.si in the agricul tural States' will vote the Demo cratic ticket next November. An ama/.iiig tale of ' voting frauds in Penii.sylvam'a, under the ruio of the ■¡\Iellon-Vuro lie- publiean machine was unfolded to tho Senate sluaii fund iiivo.sti- gating committee a few days ago himself, but for ihia wife who was ill, andl also of obtaining affida vits from scores of persons who had been "voted” but who had neyer gone near the polling places. In some of the wards', the tools of the iMellon-Vare ma chine put more ballotai into the ballot boxes than there were names .on the registration books. In several of the ward'« the elec tion offiicers did not permit a »ingle ballot to bo counted a- gainsit the "organization” cani- dates. It was by such means thnt a majority waa obtained for Wm. S.

FARiWING’l'ON NEWS RAT IS ROBBER; SHOULD BE DESTROYED * Phones: * 21 Harris-LeGrand Pham acy * 83 residence-. / . Raleigh, N, C„ May 21.— The loss caused from rats in North Carolina amounts to about five m'illion dollars annually, "The pest destroys by pollu tion ten times what it actually eats,” aa'ys Odom Ste\vart, junior biologist at the North Carolina learn about the rat, the more in imical to the human race, it seem's to be. It is pugnacious enough w'hen cornered to attack a grown person, and' the yaiue .of food stuffs and other, commodities that go to the support of the rat popu lations is scandalous in its por- portions. Furthermore, it is, an incendiary, for often, in more ways than one, it has caused de vastating .fires.” Mr. Stewart states that the rat is a dirty and pernicious beast, carrying on its body evil com panions: in the shape of fleas and these are responcible for some of the most atrocious ravages on mankind, Tjhe best way to prevent this loss of property and menace to health caused by the rat seems, to be the systematic destruction* of the pests by the use of methods which have been carefully work ed out by the United States Bio logical Survey. In most casesi poisoning in the most practical method to use. Where the rat burrows are found in the open groi;nd or where a con'centration ofj'gas' may be obtained under jfioors, fumigation with calcium 'cyanide dusit is more . efficient. Conditions alao exist where the use of poisons is not adyisa'ble and where traps are preferable or Where a poison that will not ndanger livestock may be usled, .To be rid of rats would be \\%rth a thousand times what it mrfeht cost, states Mr, Stewart, and\it is of interest to every hom'§, high and low, to wage a susltaijied warfare against these de.stwcij^e rod'enta.

The appointment of John Henry Clement, a member nnd president of the Forsyth County Bar As sociation, as Judge of the Super ior Court in ,the Eleventh District by G'overnor McLean, assures the State an able and efficient jurist, Mr. Clement was given the'una nimous endorsement of the at torneys oi this district following the resignation of Judge Roy L. Deal who waa appointed to suc ceed the late Judge Raymond Parker following his death. It ia no slight honor to be selected by fellow attorneys and citizens ior such an important post, of responsibility and service as the Superior Court bench with out a dissenting voice. Mr. Cle ment has been a practicing at torney for a number of years in this county and this recognition comes as a result,of the record he has mado for himself during those years. Mr. Clement brings to the bench a temperament and acquaintance with the law that promise a suc cessful career for him as well as a careful administration of jus tice on behalf of the citizens of the State. The Journal wishes to congratulate Mr. Clement upon his. appointment and also the State upon gaining a jurist of such conscientious and ralpablo qualities as he typifies. ■ THREE SENATORS ATTACK HERBERT HOOVER’S RECORp Washington, May 21.— Secre tary Hoover was the target of a round of firo in the Sc^nate today.

He had a straight, finely chiseled nose that was alkost classical, thin lips and rather high cheek-boncs. He wore tlie Biiow-white turban of a Mus sulman. But most of all I hotic- ,ed his eyes. They, were the eyes of a mystic, very black,. and' as- toundingly dee^. They gave no ’ key to his thoughts, but suggest- ed the somber mysticism of the East. Of course he was one of Southley’s servants, nnd a native of Hindustan. “Yes, I!m Long,” I told him. ' “I come from Southl'oy Downs, sahib—and the cur is waiting,” he went on. in his strange, pux’- ring voice. The great, black oyos fascinated me. 'He took my bag and led' the way to t'he car. I ¡am not usually particularly observant of'casual acquaintances; but I f.pund my self studying the dark, straight form in front of me. There was a quality in his carriage that was particularly absorbing. I could n’t quite grasp what it was.

'I am Vilas Hayward. It may help you to keep us straight to know my given name.”' "I J:hink; that is Joe now.” Then wo all stood up. The whole world faded— the glittering table, the watchful faces of the mon, t'ho dark body of the Hindu servant — and left only the slender form at tho threshold of the door. “She’.s been on a visit to tho shore, and she was carried past her stati'on— like the litfle stupid that s'he is,” I heard Southley say ing from far away. “I had to seiid for her in tho^ car.

She paused and looked at me. “I've decided I hadn't better." “I'm so sorry.

It usually takes y€ars of practice to learn to stalk. He seemed to know how intuitive ly. The man walked just like a cat. He placed his feet the same way. . "The other must have missed the train,” he told me in 'his cor rect but hesitant Englisr, as he helped me into Southley^s great touring car. Southley himself met me on the great veranda. The shadows were heavy there, and „his face just a white blud. But when we went into t'he lighted hall, I saw that the months had changed him. The sight of his fine, old face in the soft candle light wn.s, I think, the first real shock of my stay at Southley Downs. He greeted me with the finest hospitality. He c(iuldn’t live in a Southern manor house and do any other thing. It’s in the air and the atmosphere^ as all men know who have visited the South. It is a tradition, too. Tiie voice itself was rather 'wavering and .shrill, rather more aged than I remembered it. Then he turned to the impiissive Oriental behind him. “Ahmad Das,” he asked, “didn't Joe come?” I didn’t hear the answer, for I turned to shake hands -with a tall, straight youth that was South- ley’fl son. He was about twenty^- one, evidently nn undergraduate nt college. ' “My son Ernest,” the old man told niio.' Ho tried to straighten up. "Already taller t'han his fath- 'I prefer candles, and' I ’d have ’em if' I had enough servants to keep them trimmed,” I replied. “It’s the most restful light on earth.” Then the elder Hayward grunt ed in his place. “I fall all over the house with ’em,” he said'. “I like bright lights, and lots of ’em. And the ivorst of it is the'plant broke three days after I came. Spite work, I think,” , I looked at him, expecting to find him in jest. There are men that joke like that sometimes. But his face gave no sign. And I was to learn before the night was done that such remarks were quite to be expected from the elder Hayward. A long, tremiulous call sudden ly shivered out of the darknuss' height, and I was drinWing it like nt all. wine. In the next it was wholly I I couldn’t laugh into her earn- gone.

It was a plaintive, haunting cry, but except to a nat.uralist not worth a moment’s thought. I had been enough in the wilderness to recognize it as the cry of a cer- ta'in large species of owl— a night- hunter that is often found in our Florida marshes. Those on the veranda with me must have heard the. same sound dozens of times. But four of them started in their chairs, and one of the four utter ed a half-smothered gasp of dismay. Something was radically wrong with the nerves of these occuj> ants of Southley Downs. Evi dently the swamp air had got into them nnd left it.s poison. The el derly Southley hnd eviidontly not heard tho .sound. A t least, he gave no sign. Ilis son, the nerves of whose handsome body should I certainly expected nothing as commonplace as I sa'w'. Her eyes were fixed on the form of Ahmad Das, the servant, who was doing some household' task at the end of the long room' . ’ For an instant I also followed his motions with a senseless fas cination. He was on his hands and feet on the rug, evidently cleaning a soiled place >on the carpet. And even in that, awk ward position he seemed to move with a strange, feline grace, a lithe sinuousness beyond all words. I did Dot forget that this was natural in the man. But by some brought two servants, too— a H in du man and' my mother’s ayah. Both tlieae two servants are dead.. Although you would hardly guess it, Ahmad Das was born after they came to this :plantation. “The clu'b grew into a beautiful, tawny, full-grown tiger, seeming ly as gentle as a collie. But one night when the wind blew it seem ed to go mad. It attacked thfi Hindu woman, and .she v/as badly torn before my father drove t'he creature off. In the cond'ltion that she ■vvas, her wounds 'were even more dangerous than thoy other wise would' have been. It was unquestionably, thc-brute’s inten- "They say that they will play for literally 'hours • w.ith their^ human prey— just as a cat plays' with a mouse, with the most ter rible cruelty than can be imagin ed. The beast attacked my fath er then, and leaped through the window and escaped into tho marshes. "When morn!!ng came all the negroes and my father nnd the Hindu tracked the tiger down— and finally killed him in the thick ets. lAnd when they '.got back Ahmad Das was born. On the very day, and the same hour, that the tiger died. "O f course that’s just a detail. The legend that has, grown up deals with . the" stories that the colored people told— about some thing they saw thereafter.” She paused, and in the little silence we heat'd some night bird g'ive its sleepy call; from the marsh. , “At first the stories were rather vague. Now and again they would get a glimpse of something tawny and alive In the thickets. Every- 'body laughed at first. But as time went on it got increasingly hard to laugh. Too many people told the same story. And one night a traveler stopped at the house, , simply speechless with fright. He said that a tiger- clear nnd tawny in the moonlight, had' followed his horse. "The stories nil agreed on one point. The beast was always seen either on or about this hill on which the house is built. And then, one midnight, a negro came w ith a candle on some errand into the library, the room we are now in. He told rather a straight story afterward. He couldn't see at first. He just heard some thing boundling a'bout in the shadows— playing with the cur tains. His cand'le-Hght showed him something big as an enorm ous hound— and yellow and black in color. “That is substantially the leg end, Dr. Long. O f course I don't w ant you to think twice about it — if you do you would take your bag and go. For years and years the story was just .told at inter vals, and not even the negroes were afra'id. 'But two years ago ---. But you’ve heard enough. Let’s talk of something else.” “If I ’m, to cure this house of | its troubles,' you’d .better tell me' i all." I,told her. She braced herself and continu ed. She was a sonsiblCi cool- headcd American givl; nnd I had no cfoubt, but that the story was hal'd for her to tell. Already I was groping for aome natural e.x- ,planation for the legends. “Two years ago Sam, ono of our colored mon, came wild'-eyod into the hou.se nnd said thnt ho had seen the thing just below our veranda— and all of us laughed nt him. Perhaps a month later ono of the 'house-maids came with al most an identical story—she and one of the young colored men had. been walking about the hillside, ^ and it had suddenly emerged from the shrubbery. It makes such a story particularly . disquieting, doctor, to have two people verify it, (continued next week)' Z CO U N 'rY D E M O C R A 'h c J C O N V EN T IO N Í A convontiori of the Deniocnifi'j voters of 'Davio county will 1,5 held in the court house in Mocks, viilc Saturdayi June 0th, a fj o’clock p.’ m, to elect delegates to the State Democratic convention, and the precinct'meetings for selection of delegates to tho Deijiocratic' county convention w ill he hp-kl, at the polling places in all the prpcincts of Davie, ciran- ty at 2 o’clock ip. m., Saturday, May 26th, in compliance with ths resolution adopted by the Stute Democratic Executive Commit- 'This May 14th, 1928. . tJ.

I waded' in the limpid meadow stream, And tho cool lotion 'round myi welted knees. Gurgled a song of true com'pan- ionship, Carressed and soothed, 'and the cool mud that oozed Between my; toes, seemed called in its own Strange dialect a talci from the' far age. Long gone, forgotten, and'into tho realni Of myi young 'life, Ithe God of romance crept. With dream dipped brush, before my wondering eyes.

A G'ei'man leader, Dr. Paul Oe.s- treich, declares that America and England will certainly be driven into war. 'They will both woo Germ'any for an ally, and in this w ay Germany will rise in tho council of na'tions. We havo had among our own people men who predict that war is certain. They say that human nature can not be changed and that war is inevitably due to en sue. Lloyd Gtorge says; "In every country it ia part of the business of the fighting ^ f ï to work out a plan for defense against all con ceivable enemies. They gloat over thoir efii'ciency and, like ev ery inventor, yearn to put their machine to a test, until possible .war soon becomes likely and a I'ikely war gradually glides into the inevitable.” From time immemorial nations and tribes have sought to "pro tect” themselves by increasing their armameints. A considera ble portion of the press is urging the United States greatly to in crease armament on sea and land in order to “protect” itself. There never was a nation thnt could so protect itself. Greece tried it, and Rome and Spain and Germany and,Russia, and they all fell. The best protection for a na tion is for it to form some kind of combination with other nations» which, puibMc sentiment will eii- dorse th|at shall abolish war as a final arbiter.. The most hopeful sign today is that people are finding out that war not only costs them money and valuable lives, but destroys property and Sets back business. It would be a good thing if every 'bOy and girl in the country wore compelled to serve two years under the taterage of army ofilc- era in constructing great public works, such asi the Boulder Dam and the Mississippi Reclamation iprojocts. There is .no objection to uni- ver.sal conscription if it ia univer sal, and if .it is not primarily for the purposie of fighting.' 'I’hose boys and girls would bo potential soldiers in case wo wero ever at tacked; but their employment up on construcliivo works would not bo in tho nature of a provocation of war to other nations. Some way or other wo mn.st give up our arms and defer questions of international dispute to .some other arbiter than crass nationa lism. One hopeful sign is thnt plans of peace are openly discussed in international counclila. The late Pan-American Congress was full of peace talk. And- peace-talking brings peace, just as war talk brings war. The question after all is one of ipubllc opinion arid: the sooner that pub lic opinion is turned away from cau.ses of war and toward the ef forts of peatfe the better will'be our protipects.

Ono ot those articles, dealing with cotton pricoa during the period trom 1922 to 1027, during which freight rates worn substantially ata- tlonary, shows that prices havo fluc- tuatod up and down Invevsoly v.'lth tha world supply ot cotton.It is polatod out that, with fair consideration of Its valuo and the un usual oxpenso of handling, cotton la handled more cheaply than any other agricultural crop; that tho largest cot ton carrier In the world obtains an average of only .272c por pound for an average haul of 270 miles and that freight rates do not affect or control tho price of cotton received by tho f irnior.It Is shown that there is probably no other commodity, tho price of which is affoctad by so many factors as that oi wlieat. During the pariod rovieweu ol 1923 to 1926, lucluBlve, trolght rates wero substantially unchanged, but on tho samo data In different markets having the same freight roto, there wore frequently differences In prices amounting to moro than tho trolght rate.Anothor article In tho Field dls- euasas the market movement of fruits and vegutahlea tn tho United States, and points out opportunities for Southorn producers to take advantage ot periods when markuti) are not glut- 1 ted by the products of othar locaU- tlee. Raleigh, May 28— Tho wheat jolint worm found in N01# ; Carolina in the last two or three years ‘ia rapidly ibecoming a serious pest to this crop, espGcialiy in the piedmont area of the State. "There wore a number of wheat fields in the piedmont countiea where there whs an average losis of over 60 percent of the crop Ia.sit season duo to this ipest,” says C. H. Brannon, éxtonsion entomo logist at State College. ‘‘We have found damage all ,ovor the upper ail'd the lower piiedmont and there is a po.s'i(itbility that the worm w ill ovonttinlly spread to evory wheat field in tho State. Ut is import ant, therefore, that growers be come acquainted with the in sect.” ,Sincc the worm attaclcs only\ wheat, control is simplifled. Good control is securcd by plowing un der the stubble after harvest in the summer, or early fall. Mr. Brannon believes that this should bo practiced howevor, only where it will not interfere wltih the grow ing of clover and forage grasses. If tho stubble is to bo plowed un der, the wheat need's to be eut high sio that al Ithe galls will be left in the field for covering with earth. To do this, ¡it is necessary to keep tho stubbie about 10 inch es high. Rye, buckwheat or bar ley may be siibstituted for w'heat with safety and the pest does not attack thesp crops. Describing'the Insect, Mr. Bran non state.? that the adult looks like a small, black wasp. These appear In. Majl from last year's stubble or strawsitaeks and begin soon afi;er cmergen;ce to lay oggs in the stems of the young wheat plants. One female may lay 70 or more eggs and the eggs hatch in about two weeks. The young larvae,or grubs feed in the stems of the plant, reach maturity and stop feeding just about the time the wheat iHpens. They remain in the sitiibbie over winter chang ing to the pupae or resting stage in NoveTnber.or December. A gall forms on thé wheat stem where the worms feed.

Better results .'are se cured, iri thisi,way! than from wid’- er spacing. The closer spacing not only gives a larger yield but nlso an enrllier crop and this is important this year. iA\ much larger number of blooms are pro duced during the first few w'd’eks of the blooming period when the plants are 'closer together.-Close spacing (Will also help to prevent ■fertile soils, states Mr. Kime. /Then, too, thé cotton should be thinned as, early as it is- reaaon- a'blyi safe to do so. The young plants will have more room, chop- püng will loosen''^t'he soil in the row nnd the planta will get off to a. quick start.

NEGRO ENTOMBED SIX DAYS IS RESCUED W E ARE AGAINST RING RULE OF ANY KIND Smi Diego, Cal., — Every two wmths the San IMcgo park zoo hiis an oleven-nion-.sizo job. ■ Tho job is the breaking of tho hungKi'-.striko of Diablo, 22 1-2 foot python. Diblo will not take food of hia own accord while held in captivi ty. So, when food bocomea a mat ter of life and death, Diablo is stretched to his full length, and a sausage grinder stuffa twenty- five pounds of horaemeat down ills throat through n rubber tube. The men holding the anake mns- sage Dinblo from his neck down, rubbing the meat ftlOng his inner tube until it reaches; his third stomach, which is many feet be hind his head. To keep the snake from dis gorging . the unwanied' meal, 'a heavy leather band fa placed a- round his neck. After the meal, ho iij given \a 36-hour bath in water heated to a temperature of 80 degrees, to .help .digestion. Fortunately for the eleven men required for the feeding job, Diablo requires a meal of this natui-e only every two months. -Although he will not eat, the suiike has no aversion to volun tary drinking. Zoo officials have heen wrestl ing with Diablo’s hunger strike for four years. “He hasn’t eaten of hia own accord aince we obtained him,” saitl N. II. Johnson, in charge of tho feeding. "While this is generally char- actoi'istic of pythona in captivi ty, Eastern zoos have several thnt 'yill gladly eat a live pig or fowl.” DAVIE CHARGE Mather, Pa., May 26,— Entomb ed for more than aix daya in the ruins of Mather mine, after an ex|)loaion; there last Saturday ' afternoon, John Wado, 38, a negro coal loader, today waa ■reunited with his wife and throe children after having been mourned as dead. i Ho wa.H found sitting in i-^utt 24, north working, about two miles back in the mine, by rescue teani.s seeking the remaining dead, early last night. Butt 24 ia practical ly half a mile from the right face ; rooma where the exploaion took •place, ' . Seemingly none the worse for his experience, he wns tnkei) to nn emergency hoapit'nl. Physici ans said that barring danger of pneumonin, he wns phyaically sound. He said he had wandered about the workings and had lived on contents of miners’ food buck ets he found in various aectiona of the mine. How he eacaped the deadly after damp that aivept the explosion- torn mine, was a mystery. Offi cials in charge 'of rescue crews are of the opinion Wade luckily followed air currents. He had been undergrount^ 146 hours. The disaster took a known toll of 174 lives, with severnl i workers unnccounted for. (EiDITORIAL) . The editor of this newspnper, nltho very young, has stood firm in hia political convictions through thick nnd thin, and has been a target for the political ring nnd other “rings” of this county, and hna fought his bnttles on to some of the highest ofil- cea nnd hna won, yet he aees very plainly that there la a certain •bunch, ring, or whnt ever you wnnt to call it, trying to “ bu3t” the Demccratic party in this county. Now we want you to understand that thia newspaper is AGAINST ring'rule, be it Republican or Democratic, or what not, we do not want it, and shall take our stnnd agninst it anywhere and any time. There is nothing that looks any smaller in our eye than to see n man who has stood 'as "boas” for many years, nnd hns had thinga “his way” come out and take a fight against “party .harmony,” and try to disband his party because he sees that “hia day” is at hand, and that the people are learning hia'ways and whya and that he muat do something in order to keep his stand. This very thing is being done right here in Davie County NOW.' There are some who would rather see the Democratic party go down in defeat— destruction, and go entirely out of existance, rather thnn to aee nnother man atep in and get a little higher in the eyea of the public thnn he himaelf ia. They cnre nothing about the pnrty aake, of for democracy unless they are. getting the big end of the pie, and w ill do anything possible to keep his hold regardless of what happens to his party.. Now we want-it understood thnt we aupport the Democratic party, and believe, with both body and aoul, in the principles of same, and will do all we can to help its cause along and to keep our heads together in order to keep down oùr enemy, the republi can party, the most deadly thing to the Domocrnts in existence todny. We cnn not heat them divided, and we surely will get di vided if we keep up this selfish feeling that is between aome to day. Thia “cut-nnd-dried-buainesa " has got to atop and it is going to.take the good red-blooded Democrats to stop it. If you can not— and we don’t expect all— agree on the nomi nees in tho precinct and convention meetings— for the aake of our country and life and liberty give the other fellow the same priviledge that YOU take in the selection of his choice that you take for yours. He is ns good ns you are, and has the same right to vote hia convictions that you have, . , We want you all to go out to ihe primary Saturday and caat your vote for who'ever you please, but aftor nominating and voting your choice keep your mouth shut while the other follow does the same thin.'i. We must defeat the enemy thia fall, and the only way to do it ia to be fair and square with your fellow citizen, and if this be d'jne, we will certninly have a big majority for the Democratic party when the vote is counted.

The vote wns 50 for re-pnaaagei, oyer the veto nnd 31 to sustnin,' thé veto. A switch of four votesv would have pnased the meaaui’ei nnd the lack of them eliminated’ any prospect for farm relief legis lation at this session. Action followed a brief but' , bristling attack on the veto from both aides of the chamber and a declaration by Chairman McNary_ of the Agriculture Committee and ■ co-author of the measure that it waa too late at this seaaio.n to enact any other legialation. That courae had been auggested by the Preaident. McNary declared that while he had atated to Preaident Coolidge^ when informed that a veto ..was' being written that he would, aeek' to have a bill re-passed without, the equalization fee he felt “by the action of the veto it seems., the President haa even forecloaad, that avenue, which, might haver benefited aomewhat the farmers.” It waa the firat ahowdown be tween Congress and the President- on the McNary-Haugen relief bill which troubled Congreaa several; yeara before it finally 'got thé meaaure to the White House last year.

C. i Washington, May 25.— Property damage by fire in North Carolina in 1927 amounted to .'?5,g44,177, a reduction of moro than ¡51,000,000 ns compared лу|1Ь the figure for the preceding year, according to a survey of fire losses being made by engineers of the National •Lumbor Manufacturers’ associa tion. Rural fires were respons ible for oiïlÿ ¡51,125,108 of the fire damage. Fires in North Caroliiia citie.4 of т ого than 10,000 population showed substantial decreases both in the number of firus and tho damage as compared with 192G. Total property loss repoi'ted for 14 cities in this group was $1,- 600,815, as against $2,211,008 in 102(). Of the larger citius in this class Charlotte showed a decrease from $539,300 to $158,760; Greens boro from $306,853 to $65,148; Durham from .$178,408 to $70,008, and' A.shevillo from $43,881 to $31,826. Winston-Salem was the only large city in the state to show an increase. Contrary to the general assumj)tio(i that dwelling house fires represent the major proportion of rural fire, losses, tho North Carolina .»tatis- tics show that dwellings ropro- sontod loss than 25 per cent of tile fire loss in that state. The engineers of the lumber а.ч- sociation who are'gradually mak ing a nation-wide survey of fire losses agreed with Commissioner of Insurance Boney ^vho, com menting on the 1927 North Caro lina loss, said: ■ "Whon one considers that since 1926 tho state has acquired msire than $100,000,000 'worth of burn able buildings and other property, in cutting down the fire loss a million dollars there is enough glory in the record for all good citizens to take a share and to fo o l a pride.” With one exception the trend of tho nation’s firo losses has slow ed up steadily for severnl years. In 1920, the increase over 1919 amounted to $102,000,000 or 40 per cent. Thia, however, the en gineers ascribe largely to price inflation. For example, a thous and pairs of shoes destroyed by fire previous to 1920 .represented a dollar loss of approximately $3,000, but if the shoos repre sented a fire loss of $6,000 in 1920, yet actually the same amount of property was destroyed. An in crease of .$30,000,000 were report ed in 1921 over 1920, but the 1922 losses exceeded those of 1921 by only $17,000,000. In 1923 tho increase was 5.7 per cent, but in 1024 this had dropped again to $11,000,000 or 2.6 per cent over 1923 and 1925 was only $8,000,000 or 1.8 per cent greater than 1924. In 1926 the increase was but $2,000,000, or less than half of o n e per cent. Considering the great number of new homes, garages, offices, stores, shops, theatres and church os constructed each yenr, and the greatly increased use of gasoline, electricity, cigarettes and other prolific causes of fire, this steadi ly decreasing trend is considered encouraging. Based on the 1927 figures for North Carolina and other states, it is believed com plete statistics for the United States will reveal the national firo loss actually as well as re latively lower. lliui'sday, 31. 1928 THE MOCKSVILLE ENTERPRISE.

Arey, dairy extension speci.alist at State College, “the feeds grown in North Carolina are deficient in only four of the minerals most, needed. These are sodium, chlo rine, calcium and phosphorous. These essential minerals can be supplied in an ine.xpensive form by using common salt, finely ground limestone and odorless steamed bone meal. There is no advantage in buying and feeding complex mineral mixtures be- cailae some of these contain a number of unimportant mineral ■," elements which áre not needed 'b; Ifears of Service Ш Model T Fords Expenditure of few dollars may c:zable^ you to get thousands ’ of miles froïH your old car Th e Model T Ford is sti‘! a £rer.t car. It led the motor industry for twenty years and it is used today by more people than any other automobile. More than eight million Model T Fords are in active service in city, town and country, and many of them can be driven for two, three and five years and even longer at very small up-keep expense. The cost of Model T parts, and of necessary labor is unusually low because of established Ford policies. New fenders, for instance, cost from ^3.50 to ^5 e^ch, with a labor charge of to ^2.50. Tuning up the motor and replacing commutator case, brush and vibrator points costs only ^1, with a small charge for material. Brake shoes can be installed and emergency brakes equalized for a labor charge of only ^1.25. A labor charge of f(4 to 0 will cover the overhauling of the front axle, rebushing springs and spring perches, and straightening, aligning and adjusting wheels. The labor charge for overhauling the average rear axle runs from 0 .7 5 to ^7. Grinding valves and cleaning carbon can be done for 0 to ^4. A set of four new pistons costs only ^7. For a labor charge of ^20 to ^25 you can have your motor and transmission completely overhauled. Parts are extra. All of these prices are approximate, of course, because the cost of materials needed will depend oa the condition of each car. They show, however, the low cost of |)utting the Model T Ford in shape for thousands of miles of additional service. See the nearest Ford dealer, therefore, and have him estimate on the cost of re-conditioning your Model T Ford. He will tell you, in advance, exactly ho>w much the complete job will cost.

It is the itinerant poddler, the house to house door bell lingaV ;and those of his kind who travel :from place to place plying their '.trade and imposing-on the cerdu- lity of the unthinking, offering bargains in this and that which .most always turn out to be in- ,-ferior merchandise sold at higher prices or in short measure. It is '■well to beware of these fellows and the plausible stories that they tell to engage the interest .and confidence of their prospects. They are of many varieties and with as many kinds of merchan dise to sell. Inferior articles of many kinds are ppcldled about hither and yon der during the summer months. The automobile has been a great aid to this kind of chicanery for after he has landed a few gullible •prospects a day’s journey will take him far away and beyond •the reach of the buyer who dis covers that he has been victimized. W hat better insurance can tliuru be than buying from the home town merchant? If for any reason the article ;proves unsatis factory he is ready and willing to correct the trouble and satisfy his •customer. Not so with the ped- . dler— he is gone tomorrow op yet today if the chase gets too hot. He is not seeking to satisfy his customer— he is after the money • alone. The home town mercljant stakes his reputatiftn and his s'lie- eess on his record for fair and honest dealing. He may be found :at his place of business day in and day out, year in and year out. 'П11шге is nothing elusive about him. When folks want support and contn'butions for this and that, they know whore to find him and .he gives willingly and generously. Did anyone ever hear of the iti nerant merchant contributing a single cent for the advancement of a local cause? There is one real way of insuring good goods ;at геаяоплЫе prices, one way of •Retting good value for the dollar «xpended and that is to buy of the reputable home town merch ant. Never before in the history of Davie County has a Democratic precinct meeting been held that was more otit of line with tho principles of pure democracy than vva's the Mocksvilie Precinct primary conducted under the m'ariagement and leadership of partisan agencies in the court house last Saturday afternoon. Freedom of speech, frëedom of thought, freedom of action were all deided those present, save a chosen few who undertook to re present the interests of one par ticular "hland-picked” icandidate for president. The Hull forces were present by a large majority and it is safe to say, this majority could have passed a set of reso lutions demanding the immediate execution of Al Smith, had it so desired, and could have got away with it. The resolution favoring the in struction of all delegates pledged to the nomination of Cordell Hull was a perfunctory measure, since less than twenty-five per cent of those voting therefor had ever heard of the Tennessee congress man before his name was sug gested to them by Senator Sim mons., Had the resolution direct ed all delegates to vote against Al Smith for president, its spirit might well havo reflected the sen timents of a majority of the Democrats present. But to say that eighty-nine members of tho convention favor the nomination of Cordell Hull for president is buncombe, pure buncombe. We give below a tabulation of the preference vote in Davio County, compiled from returns carefully gathered. ■ 1 ■ I?recinct Hull Smith NEITHER CAN HOOVER, L O W Sui-e.

There have been complaints from some quar ters, but as a whole the license fee has been paid without com plaint and bitterness, and it seems to us that as our people become more accustomed .to the law and its benefits they will more gladly pay for the increased privileges it will aflford. But we are doing more than raising money from the license. We are offering some protection to the game, and this is perhaps the most important phase of the question.

The old log house stood by the way Somewhat a lonesome grove And many were the children there Around its walls did rove. The old rock chlmhby with a mouth That was so big and wide. Would take in logs quite six feet long, A winter heat provide. The' house was qiialnt, the logs were great. Each desTc was one long slab. ’Twas there we sat from eight till four To learn the A B ab. The teacher had his royal place ,And read a common rule, A thing akin to Jacob’s staff. To regulate the school. The water, then we had to drink Was brought full half a mile; All this do I remember well Tho I was but a child. 'And when the bucket found its place The children rushed around; The teacher then would give a squall “A part of you sit down!” No indlviduiol drinking cups, ’Twas but a tin or igourd. They seized upon 'it with their lips And drank with one accord. 'Phe time would come to spell by heart, Altho’ it seemed so long. . Each scholar then would grab his book And spell out with a song.

S',, W HAT H APPliNED BEFORE Dr. Long, out fisJiing with Alex ander Pierce, a detective, tells of 3iis projected trip to Southley Downs. Pierce adivises him to keep his eyes wide open while there. On the way in a train Dr, Long is attracted by a girl, who later faints. Dr. Long treats her, and looking into her bag, is stounded to find a loaded revolver. Dr. Long meets Ahmad Das, an Oriental, who conducts him to Southley Downs, where he meets Mr. Southley and his son Ernest Southley, Mr. Haywood and his «on Vilas, and then Josephine Southley, who is the girl he had met on the train. Josephine tells him the story of Southley Downs ■ and Its ghost, which is not the ghost of a human being but of a tiger. ; CHAPTER III : “My father and some of the servants went out— both Ernest dndi I were away at school. They couldn’t see in the shadows— but niy father says that beyond all chance of doubt some living crea ture bounded through the thickets In front of them. It m ight havo been a calf— or even a large dog. “A few weeks ago the details liegan to vary. It was after my father’s old friend, Mr. Hayward, and his son came to visit us. But tell me tliis first. Would you say the younger Mr. Hayward would f)e troubled with faulty nerves?” "I saw him jum p tonight when the owl hooted.” ‘‘Remember, ho has spent near ly a month in this house. After a month in it .you’ll jump, too. I mean, under ordinary conditions, «way from this atmosphere.” "I would certainly say that Vilas' Hayward had no nerves to trouble him.” "Just a few nights after his arrival, Vilas Hayward came in to dinner with a curious look, of question on his face. He said he had seen aomething.” Josephine’s eyes were full and intent upon mine, and' the sen tence died away. The silence of the vast room was the kind to be listened to in remote deserts, or in the mountain nights. ‘.‘Yes?” I urged, her. “It Jsn’t very pleasant,” she warned. “A doctor has the right to know all tho symptoms.” /‘He said when he came through the long hall that leads from the drawing-room something walked ibefore him. It was in the sha dows, and' he could not' see it plain. He asked us if we kept a great yellow and black dog, a Jiound as large, or larger, than a Great Dane." The elder Hayward and I were fltrolling on the course, and a few minutes 'before our host had been w ith us. He had gone into the house on some errand. Josephine -waa with Vilas on the veranda, and' his chair was drawn close to hers. A t first I wasn’t thinking about Hayward or Ahmad either. I was remembering with* what astounding fortune Vilas and Josephine always seemed to be alone together. It v/ac •h baffling thing., I could n’t think of any conscious effort in that direction. Yet seemingly powers in the sky were always throwing them ^together. In one instant, all the occupants of Southley Downs would be on the veranda together; in the next, a group of Us would have wandered off, and Vilas and'Josephine would be alone. I wondered how much of this curious development was engi neered by Josephine herself. It wasn’t a particularly pleasant thing to think about. Of course, girls in this age have a right to play all their cards to win the iove of a desirable man. It was •all legitimate— all fair. But some times it seemed to me that she would have preferred to stay with the rest of us, but that «¡ome in scrutable power, mysterous and immutable, denied it. Tha^ power v/as either Josephine’s aged' fath er, the elde» Hayward, or both. Hayward and I were having a good night cigar together. My wrist watch indicated a few m inu tes after ten. And then Hayward paw a hIuuIow waver in'the mon- Jif'ht of the golf geen. living creature was advancing along the slope toward us— some- , thing that seemed' dark and not I very tall. We. stood still nnd ! waited. There was nothing else to, do. ■ Then all at once the creature’s form seemed to change. I can’t describe it except to say that up on one instant it appealed to me aa being low and rather long, and on the next tall and narrow. The change was so abrupt that the creature seemed fairly to leap. Yet il: easily could have been the effect of the moonlight or the shadows. It might have been simply n matter of perspective. At once we saw the advancing form that before had seemingly had the dimensions and outline of a huge dog was just the form of a nian. But I had been enough in the mountains to know that the moon and the darkness wnd the jungles play strange tricks on fancy and vision. ’ It was Ahmad Das. He was coming in from one of. his long walks. iHayward gasped behind The, and as I moved back the back of our hands touched. Hayward’s felt cold. Whatever had 'been fancy and wrong per spective before, this was the truth. His blood wasn't In his hands, as it should have been. Evidently it had all gone up to hia brain, plafing strange tricks with it. Ahrrtad bowed to us as he pass ed.'’ ' , "Good Lord!” Hayward breath ed. ‘‘I wasn’t looking for that wrctch.” "He was just coming in from one of his walks.” ' "Those walks of his I Why don’t Southley forbid ’em? I will if he don’t. I’ll be damned if I ’ll havo him walking through those jung les and creeping up on us this way!” ■ ‘‘Creeping up on us?” I echoed. "W hat way?”, "Besides, what would a man want to walk around in those jungles for?” ho went on, unheed ing me. "Toll mo that?” Then his voice changed— dropped tone by tone until 'it was almost a whisper. "And tell me this, too, Long— and tell me the truth.” "Yes.” "Did — did you see anything curious about — about Ahmad’s posture as he came up the hill? Of course, it was probably just the moonlight — yet there was something puzzling about it.” “I'll confess I didn’t recognize him at once.” “That isn’t it. That isn’t quite it. Long. Oh, the devil I It's non sense, anyway.” We walked up to the veranda and halted for an instant on the steps for ;a last look over the marsh. There was a ring around the moon that promised rain. We listened to the night birds and the noise of the insect world, like the strum of a banjo infinitely remote, above the drear, gray wastes. Then Hayward touched my, arm. “If you’d go in,,Long, and look: at Ahmad’s hands,” he told me, "you’d find ’em with mud on 'em. “Why, Mr. Hayward?” accusation ao bizarre. The glare with which Hayward’s eyes fol lowed him when the servant worked about the rooms was lit tle short of dcadly-^I had observ ed it too many times to be mis taken. Orders he gave were al ways ih the most insulting tone. It seemed to me just an unjusti fied aversion, and the taste of the thing was open to question. There was a tenseness, a heavi ness, in ithe air. It was obvious ly the calm before one of those blinding, crashing Floridian thunder-storms. I thought I had better warn the occupants of the house. There might be windows to close, or other preparations. The library *was empty; b u t I heard voices in the den that opened from it. And maybe it was a sign that already Ithe atmosphere of SouthJey Downs has instilled its 'poison in to my nerves thnt I did not re member to stop and knock. W ith the 'memory of that mysterious calm behind me, I rurried across the soft rug. The door opened softly beneath my hand. The scone in the candle-light was like a tableau. The light was-so yellow and soft, the sha dows so startling black, the actors stood so motionless. W ith arms leaning upon the little mahogany table in the center of the den stood Vilas Hayward. There was a drunken look about him; yot I knew it was not from wine. His fac6- was flushed, Intent. W ith the table between them, aa if for a shield, J(|sephine faced him, "Don’t come a step nearer,” she said as the door opened. Her fade was white ns the candle that 'burned between them, its lines were deep, and hor dark eyes were smouldering. The lit tle silken week end bag I had seen on the train lay before her on the table, and her hand was lost in the lace of its mouth. There were wild, primal pas sions at play in the room. One of them w'a.s lust; and one .was the tfury of murder. Thorp 'is no u.so of mincing words, Thoy wero bared and unmasked before mo. Vilas turned to rhe with an onth. The girl slipped faintini; to the floor. I answered him without restraint, and lifted the girl into my arms. I crossed with her to the little sofa at the side of the room where the two had evidently been sitting; then turn ed to meet the man. He had fol lowed me across the room, and not six feet was between us. "I think. Dr. Long,*' Vilas cried, "that you're altogether too offici ous. You'd better keep but lof this.” I I am not just sure what I an swered him. But primal passions had wakened in me, too, and the words were straight. He leaped nt me, and I met him with a blow. He reeled, then caught at the table. And his hand reached for the silken bag on the table. I knew that the girl was scream ing. The sound rose above the noise of the atorm. I leaped for him, b u t' he whirled about the table before I could reach him. . . . He leaped at me, and' I met him with a blow. "Because he was crawling up that hill— on hands and feet!” Then his face grew into a scowl, and he entered the house. I had a pipe by myself after he had gone. At first I thought about what he had said. But it didn’t make particularly good sense. It was true thiit Haywax'd didn’t like the In d ia n ,y e t,th is He tore the ipistol from the bag. It glittered In his hand. I hnd no .delusions about what he would do with it. The drawn face, the smouldering eyea, told all too plainly. He was too far for me to leap at him. So I struck out the candle. The dark fell over us. The sound-of the storm obliterated his darkness— a truce remembered from primal days. I -don't know how long it iiad continued when Hayward and Southley came. Their forms sud denly appeared in the open door; and each ,of them carried candles. Vilas still held the pistol; and it gleamed in the candlelight. "Vilas 1” his father called. "Put do^vn that thing!” He hastened about the table, and my aged host leaped in front of me. I tried to push him away; and his answer was a laugh— one grim syllable of laughter, ir onical. “He won't kill me,” he said. “I'm the goose — that lays the golden eggs. He won’t kill me.” Vilas screamed _ at us. The murder-madness was on him yet. “He struck me,” he cried. "The devil struck me. He’s got to a- pologize; He found me with Joaephine, and he struck me as if I were a dog.” His father took the pistol from his hands, and put it in his pocket. Southley sighed a little, and plac ed hia candle on the table. The girl rose up behind us, and I was amazed at her, self-control. It had all come back. “He struck me," Vilas siiid again and again. "W hat are you going to« do about it, Southley? You've got just ten minutes to turn him out of this house— or else I'll go instead.” "Let'a forgot it— ” ^he old man answered with utter weariness. "Forget nothing,'Southley 1” he. exclaimed. "We've got to get to’ the bottom of this. If my son was struck, he's got to have satis faction. I lived long enough on the continent to know that, and so has he. And so have you. It isn’t the way it's done over there. If a man's struck the other pays.” "Your son is sufficiently able to take care of himself, I hope,” I suggested, "If he’d taken' care of himself, you’d be laying under this table now— with your blood spoiling à ■good Oriental ,rug,” 'the older Hayward answered with startling miilice. "I’m not sure but that he’d ought to have done it. I be lieve it’s up to you, Long, to give a satisfactory explanation,” "I have nothing to efplain,” Then I turned my back upon him, and faced the broken old figure that was my host. "Sir, if tüero is any explanation' to be made it will have to come from your daughter.” , It was a curious expression that came to 'the ^Id man’s face. Its lines seemed to grow slack. There was hopelessness in it, and the wekkness of long years, and above all things else, hopeless, utter im- potency. It seemed to me that the girl opened her lips to speak. But be fore the words came, thé elder Hayward had answered for him. "W hat has this young pup to do with the relations between Josephine and my son?” he ask ed, querulously. "They have al ready been settled. If that is the issue, it only maltes it more cer tain what course remains. They can’t go Qn living here, guests in the same house, with this between them. Tell him, Southley— that he has two choices. One is to apologize. The other is to leave the house.” "Is that the truth?” I asked my host, "Tell him it is tho truth,” 'Hay- ward’s indomitable words went on. The tone was of a threat— ominous, determined. The eyes of the two elder men met. “She has nothing to exiplain,” Southley told me falteringly. I looked at the girl, and no man can measure or describe the an guish that was in her eyes. But she didn't look straight at me. First she glanced at the strong, bull-dog figure of the elder Hay ward. Then she searched for her father’s time-dimmed eyes, and here she found her answei’. "He's right, Dr. Long,” she told me. "You must make your own explanations.” "It seems the odds are against me,” I told them simply. "Mr. Southley, I have only, done what any American man would have to do, and I can’t and won’t apo logize to anyone. I have cai’ried out the obligation of a guest to his.hosf; .in the .wny.my instincts. believe that I did wrong. It i evident that you uphold ^Wliiit those other men sny—iand your, daughter upholds them, too. And if you will have my bag brought to me, I will go at once.” . The girl clasped her father’s hands. A world of appeal ^was in her dark eyes. "He can't go, in thia storm,” she told him; "The road along the levee isn’t; safe. Tell him. he can’t go till the storm ia over.” The elder Hayward chortled from beyond the table. "A good wetting might teach him manners,” he suggested. “W hat about it, Southley?” The tone waa Insistent, and perhaps it had a scornful quality, coo. “Of course, he can’t go until the rain is done. I won’t send out my cars on a. night like thiH,;’’ The girl whirled to me. Appeal was all over her. "You won’t go till tomorrow?” she pleaded. "Tell me, doctor. You won’t go till the storm’s over?” “I can’t very well, if your fath er won't let his cars go out.” I tried to speak bitterly; but even after her betrayal, tho very look of her softened me. ' I found young Southley sitting before a little fire in the library, and he called to me as I passed. In' spite of the warmth of the night, the little flame looked hos pitable and kindly.' “ Heavens, what a night!” he exclaimed. "I suppose 'you've heard about— about the tiger?” "O f course, I 'know the legend. Anything new?” "Hasn't old ilayward told you? He and my father have been out talking to the servants, just a little while ago. He's quite an old beast, you know. Well, the colored people say he is walking again tonight.” "Nice little thing to think about as I drop to sleep,” I suggested. "Isn't it? Wo have an old gar dener that we call Mose. Mose was in town today, and ho came ,back riding a horse about eleven o’clock. Rather it was somewhat before eleven, because you and tho older, Hayward were out on the golf green for your late even ing walk.” “Go on,” I .urged. "Mose was riding home. I suppose he saw tjiie ghoat-tiger floating through the air, or riding a broomstick— ” "Nothing quite so bizarre as that. I’m sorry to say. Maybe I talk lightly, but I’m feeling rath er serious, Long, If our tiger had done nothing except ride a broom, or fly, or something, it would have boon a good legend to tell our uhildron—^iind t'oast/ to in good vintages. But unfortunately — our tiger took other ways of man ifesting himself. All he did was frighten Morse’s horse— and leave his track in the earth,” The man spoke wholly without emotion. He smiled a little, too — a rather wan, hopeless smile that was singularly upsetting to the spirit, "His track!” I echoed. "You don’t mean that.” "He saw a great yellov/ and' black cat— almost as large as i a pony. iBut that Isn’t quite all. Mose kept his head. He told him self it was a delusion, just as you and I have told ourselves many times. So he controlled his horse; then looked down at the. moonlit road. It was covered with dust, and he .could see very plainly. And he saw— just what I told you.” . I spoke very quietly. "Tracks?” "Yes— as big as his two hands, clear across the road. He wanted to take father and the Haywards and I down to see them. I think all of us except father, who is rather' old for such’ excursions, wore going—^but something has evidently . diverted, them. They were to meet me here.” "I sup'pose the rain has spoiled.' them now.” | "Weakened them, anyway. O f . course, the colored people arei terrified. The night the tiger first went wild was just on such a night aa this— in the middle of the storrii. They say on such nights as these— he likes to come back into the wai'm, dry house, and play in the curtains. ' In a few minutes more we were out where the rain 'beat upon us. The road was already washed! with water. It.didn't seem pos sible that if there had really been mysterious tracks in the dust, that they could havo endured the storm. "I’ve got some fine plans for to- morrow— if it juat clears up, the youth told me joyously as we tramped up the road. I think he waa trying to divert his m ind as well as mine,, from the business in hand.

"Going homo? Good'Lord, why? I thought you’d stay to see us through.' Of course, I can’t blanie you— ” "live got to make a living,” I told hini lightly, "It’s time I wt-nt to work.” "But you were going to stay a full week— and you promised sis last night that you would make it ten days or two weeks.” "Did she tell you that?” "Tell me? I should say she did. She danced a highland fling.” It didn’t make the scene of the hour before^ any more pleasant to remember. She had seemed glad when I had told her that I had postponed my departure. And ev. en now Ernest’s words filled me with a strange, soaring gladness that I tried to fight off. She had proved the hour before'how miich she really cared. She belonged to Vilas, not me, in spite of the fact, that she had been ready to kill him when I opened the door of the den. I remembered every smile— each had .been an epoch— every softness in her dark eyes, every tremor of her lips. We tramped through the down pour, nnd soon we came to the point that the negro had describ ed. Then we began to search about with the lanterns. It must have made a strange picture— tho distant lightning, the glowing lanterhs, our awn tall figures in the yellow raincoats. The great house was dark behind us.

The Mexican Bean Beetle is one of the two kinds of insects belong- intf to Lady-beetle family found in the United States which destroy plants. All other lad.y bird beet les are predaceous insects and are therefore to be regarded aa bene ficial, While the Mexican Bean jji'ctle has been in the southwest ern United States for many years, it was first found in the eastern .states in 1920, It first appeared in Western No'rth Carolina in 1921 and since then it has spread rapid ly through tho State, until now it i.s found in all but the thirteen oa.sturnmost counties. During tho simimmer of 1927 it spread east ward from 75 to 125 miles.

New York.—Eat moré potatoes. This was the advice given by Dr. Mlkkei Ulndheda of Denmark In an address at Columbia university here. Doctor Hlndhede was food adminis trator of his native country during the war and Is known aa the Herbert Hoover of Denmark. He Is a scientist whos« researches Into food values have given him world-wide fame. The person who said that a fat man eating a potato was one of earth'p most poignant tragedies, accord ing to Doctor Hlndhede, sacri ficed truth to make a clever phrase. The ban placed on pota toes by current re ducing fads. Dr. Hlndhede said. Is a?,silly a* it Is unscientific. Po tatoes are among the best health Dr Miuk.i declared.Dr. Mikkel Hind- ,,„ Americans would cat five times moro potatoes," sold' Doctor Hlndhede, "there would bo less illness In the naton and the death rato would' be materially reduced. There Is no more reason for abstaining from eating po tatoes than for cutting meat off tho menu. ' Potatoes nre 7(5 per cent wa ter. As part of a balanced diet they do not cause corpulency. "Potatoes have os many calories aa meat, batter, and eggs but less of vlt- amlMi A. Too mach vitamina A pro duce» sluggishness and lessens resist ance to disease. Too much of this vitamina conaamed in food by chil dren cauios tonsilitis, eczema, cn- lak’god glands, and aenemla." Danmark la one of the great dairy ing eountriea of Europe, Doctor Hlnd hede pointed out. but practically all Danish farmers, he aaid, export their butter to England and serva mar- garlpe on the family table. "The'^ople of D^&mark eat about a half as much butter as Ainerlcaus and nearly twenty times os much mar garine," said Doctor Hlndhede, "and ' the Danes aro celebrated for their health atid sturdiness. The death rato In Denmark from tuberculosis, various forms of kidney dlsoases, und other ailments duo primarily to Improper diet Is about 80 per. cont loss than the (lonth rate from slmllnr causes In the United States."

Livingstone , in Tho Nows and Obesrver) If Walter Hines Page had been made professor of Greek at the University of North Carolina, he might never havo achieved inter national fame at the Court of St. Jaifies. If Prof. J, iD, Hodges), who cele brates his 83rd birthday on his farm in his natiyo county of Davie this weok, hadn’t been made prof essor of Greek at Trinity College, he might have achievod a wider fame, but not more satisfaction out of living, Pago left his native State, and Hodges stayed at homo. Page be came more widely known and in fluenced a larger audience but he achieved no more in character and true worth than has the octogena rian who has walked the quiet paths all tho days of his life since an eventful day in .1865 when he was left on the battlefield in front of Petersburg by his Confederate comrades, who'had mourned him as dead, Capta'in of His Soul Today as the evening of his life draws on, he lives in quietness on I his farm and there are no regrets. The life he has lived has increas-1 ed richness with each passing year. Under Stuart and Hampton he marched with* Lee’s army in northern Virginia and met disast er without flinching. He returned home from the war to find desolation everywhere, pov erty and distress. Standing'upon the heap of ruins, he was .still the master of his fate, and fpr three score years he has continued to be the captain of his soul. Of him j and what he has done in North Carolina it might be said, as was of anotrer land: “From scenes like these old Scot ia’s .grandeur springs, That makes her loved at home, revered abroad; Princes and"lords are but the breath kings. An honest man’s the noblest work of God.” He Doean’t Feel Old The name of Prof. J, D. Hodges hasn’t been sung in public places, but the heritage he has provided entitles himj no less to the grati tude of a great State than does the more spectacular service of men no whit better, who'have had the opportunity to serve in high public'places. “How does it feel to be old?” aisiced Dr. Albert Anderson, siiper- intendent of the State Hospital in- Raleigh, who thought Professor; Hodges was old when studying Greek under him at Trlnliy 'Col- lega more than 40 years ago! , ' “Don’t ask I don’t know," replied Professor Hodgeg as he stood straight as an In;dian. The former Greek professor puts down his yccation as teach- but Dr. Anderson says that neith er is hia real btisinesa. Dr. An derson says that he has learned the secret of happy living. Dr Anderson ought to knov,’. He had already lived more than the aver age man experiencea before Dr. Anderson over knew him,'and they have been going to collbgo com mencements together for 40 (fears now. Before ho becamo a college pro fessor, ho founded tho Monroe high school, whore he had as a student former Governor Bickott, He graduated in 1873 at Trinity Coilogo with Senator F. M, Sim mons and then wont to Yale Un iversity for another j:legree. Strenuous Young Manhood These achievements in them selves were not small, -but ,tho epochal events of his life came before he ever saw the inside of a college. For. four years after the war he worked to get his widowed mother .and her four fatherless daughters established on a farm in Davie County, which had been utterly improverished by the ra vages of Federal troops and of Wheeler’s cavalry. He was only 18 years old when in 1863 he became a trooper in the cavalry of Gen, J. E. B. Stuait in Lee’s immortal “Army of North ern Virginia.” After Stuart was killed'he served under Gen. Wa'do Hampton, He participated in all the great bathes Including Gettys burg of that heroic army, ■' Two horses were shot from un der him in these battles—-'One mor tally wounded and the other slight iy. On the retreat from Gettys burg, he was captured while on picket duty on the Antietam river. The story of thi's capture was told, by the late Chief Justice- Walter Clark in his “North Carolina in the War of. the Sixties,” and his photograph also appears in ^ 'the history. ....... Learning of the presence of the enemy’s cavalry in. the vicinity, young Hbdges wais making for his own lines when suddenly ^l^ere came out of a farm house two Federal ' soldiers. Drawing hi.s carbipe, he promply covered the¡^ and they surrendered. With , his two prisoners he continued on, buf presently was surroiinded by cav alry and forced tp surrender. - Mouj'rncd as D;Ciid j He.was released later and,re- ttirned to his command; He fell before Petersburg following- se'-' vere “shell shock,” and, was 'left behind as dead 'by his,; comrades. W ith thousands of others, he was carried’prisoner to Point Lookout on the Maryland shore. When he appeared at his home , in . Davie County on a hot June day in 1865, it was as though he had iriaen from the dead. : .-(continued o,n- pago 7). "tBy Mary J.
