Unterni! at the poat office at Norfii WOkeabrnro, M. C, as second class matter tmder Act of March 4. m». MONDAY, JULY 31,’ 1933 A new radio device has been'perfected to swing the garage doors aside when the driver pulls a knob ea the instrument board. Trees, poles, fences, dogs, dikkens and other cars must, we presume, still be pushed out of the way by the old method. A Wise Decision The announcement of the North Carolina merchants that they will fight the sales tax at the ballot box rather than in the courts •will have a tendency to increase the sympa thy of all patriotic citizens toward their ■vie'ws. It would be disastrous to disrupt the reve nue returns for the next two years even if it were possible to obtain a favorable de cision in the courts. Two years is not long to wait. In that two years, sentiment can be solidified against this iniquitous tax and mi early start will insure defeat of the can didates favorable to this system of taxa tion. The decision of the merchants is a wise one^and does credit to the able leaders who considered the situation. Advertising the Truth Most reliable merchants are careful to ad" vertise the truth in every particular. If they did not, they would not be successful mer chants. Merchants must deliver the goods to back up the statements they make in their advertisements or soon be considered un reliable. Right now merchants are advertising that merchandise they are now selling for the low prices that have prevailed for the past few' months cannot be replaced wholesale at the present retail prices. For instance an item which the merchant is now offering for 98 cents to his customer cannot be bought ’wholesale for 98 cents. The merchants are telling the truth. The increase of commodity prices has been so great that merchandise prices are bound to soar. When the blanket industrial code be comes effective August 1, prices must again rise higher. The increased wages to em ployes of manufacturing plants and to clerks in stores will force merchandise up. Never in the history of the country has there been a better time to buy. Merchants should take advantage of the opportunity to advertise this undeniable truth and the pub lic should not hesitate to buy. Sunday Baseball Greensboro is having a battle royal over ■the question of Sunday baseball. The Jour nal-Patriot hasn’t the slightest inclination to project itself into a verl>al argument which is primarily a local matter. How'ever, we are unable to follow' the line of reasoning of Greensboro’s officials. The Greensboro Patriots, members of the Piedmont league, played a game a week ago Sunday afternoon and Mayor Harrison de clared himself against a repetition. The city controlled stadium w'ould not be avail able for another game, the mayor is reported as having stated. We are strongly inclined to the attitude of the Greensboro mayor as it relates to Sunday baseball. We doubt the moral value of Sun day baseball and would be first to oppose it if the issue were raised locally. But if we were the Greensboro mayor, which we aren't, ■we would also outlaw Sunday tennis and Sunday golf if we barred Sunday baseball. How Greensboro officials can continue to allow the use of MemoraU stadium for Sun- ‘day tennis—tennis during church hours, mind 3mu—and then rise up in indignation at Sunday baseball is beyond our comprehen sion. How the churches of Greensboro can ^done Sunday golf and tennis year after year and then pass resolutions filled with righteous v?rath at Sunday baseball and still , lAim to be consistent is something those better trained than we in figuring out jig saw puzzles must solve. Apparently, any voice which has been lift- ^ in opposition to Sunday golf and Sunday tennis has been so weak that few have heard it And yet Sunday baseball is seen as . a ein beyond repentance.

Since the morning train, known for many years as the “Shoo-Fly,” was discontinued, mail leaves the city only in the afternoon. The train leaves here at 2:10, but a letter mailed at 4 o’clock will reach Winston-Sa- lesm at about the same time. So there is really only one mail service to Piedmont North Carolina. It is, of course, generally known that all mail for point— in the north and mid-west is routed by Winston-Salem. If there is any change of schedule that will provide a morning mail service, the government, we feel sure, will listen to the appeal of the club. It is apparent that a better out-going service is needed and we wish the Lions much succes-.

The furious form is the lone most commonly seen, and in,jjg^ York. I the middle stage the animal Is' llaboring under great excitement. It has an inclination to travel over long distances. Will attack any animal or man that gets in its way. It will not linger long to fight with other dogs. If it is not killed, will usually return from its starting point, where it will die from the disease. The other form is called “Dumb Rabies” the animal is not inclined to try to bite, as thx under jaw is para lyzed, and could not if so inclin ed. This form Is mostly observed among, pure bred dogs, and bird dogs. Both forms are fatal. None Raleigh, July 27.—Legislators anj former members of the gien- er;il assembly who ate coming to Raleigh these days continue to pre dict that their home communities, in practically every case, appear ready to vote for repeal of the 18th amendment. Linet. Gov. A. H. Graham, of Orange county, says, “My county, I bel\eve, will give a wet majority but there is a strong element of dry sentiment there.” Judge Francis D. Winston, lieu, tenant governor in 1905 and veteran legislator, says his home county of Bertie will “vote for repeal if the preachers will let us,” and Repre-, sentative C. W. Spruill, of Berti' says, “I think Bertie will be for re peal.” Representative Van Watson, of Nash, and Representative F. M. Taylor, of Halifax, predict repeal majorities in their counties. Senator A. B. Corey, of Pitt, believes Pitt “will be for repeal by a big majority,” and adds, “I’ll be darned if I don’t believe the state will go for repeal by a two to one vote.” m August 1st But, wc are going to give you the ad4 vantage of buying again this week at % :p . the special price of $3.95 and old bat- tery for Brand New Battery.

'Three Men Acquitted Of Murdering Woman Gastonia, July 26>—A little over an hour after it received the case, a jury in superior court hree today acquitted A. F. Whitworth and two co-defendants cf^a charge of murdering his estranged wife, Maude Whitworth, 40-year-old dressmaker. Tried with Whitworth were Philip Falls, a former deputy sher iff, and his son. Fort, 23. The three men and a crowded courtroom re|| ceived the verdict quietly. ■ In returning its verdict the jury indicated it accepted the story of the three defendants that Mrs. {Whitworth was fatally injured when she leaped or fell from their automobile. The state contended she was thrown from the car or was .struck a fatal blow by one of the three men.

It is the link in the highway be. tween here and Asheville—short route—which lies between Lenoir and Morganton. Readers of the Journal and particularly all road- minded citizens of Winston-Salem do not have to be told, we are sure, about the vital importance of this stretch of road. When completed it will g^ve Win ston-Salem a new a.nd more direct highway to Asheville, via Wilkesbbro, Lenoir and Morganton. The Lenoir-Morganton road ought to have been built long ago. Certainly at present, if the state highway commission wants to spend money where it will be of greatest service to the largest num ber, it ■will not delay approval of this project anoth er month. We understand the Lenoir (^amber of Commerce will make its new appeal for prompt construction of this road to the highway conlmission in Raleigh next Monday, The Lenoir people should be joined in this effort by representatives of /Winston-Salem.
