A Sorry Example The insistence of Governor Ehringhaus that the warrant charging the driver of his automobile with speeding be prosecuted was commendable. And in complying with with the Governor’s request, Albemarle authori ties acted wisely. But all the apologies that may be offered, does not alter the fact that the Governor’s automobile set a sorry example as it sped through the Stanley town. The patrolman who escorted the automo bile through Albemarle at the reckless speed sworn to by three witnesses was doubtless as j much at fault as the chauffeur. From what ever angle we view the matter, a patrolman, j whose duty it is to wara and arrest drivei-s I of automobiles exceeding the speed limit, and j the chauffeur of the Governor’s car exhibit-1 ed poor judgment on the streets of Albe marle, ■m amined durint schools need dental woii(f ofifers food far thought ^ It reveals a lack of proper h»ne trafaun* and the need for more thorough instruction along this line In the shool room. There is no necessity fw this condition. And dentists agree that a large numt.^a* of those children with defective teeth could have perfect, teeth if they had been properly trained in the care their mouths. Doubting that any peal benefit will be de rived from the suarvey, me of the dentists has suggested that brief lectures in the schools would help the situatim far more than anything else that can be dose without actually providing the money required to mftkft the needed correcti(»8. *T would not even, ask that they go as far as to puixhase tooth paste and an antiseptic. If the chil- dr«a will' only brush tiieir teeth thoroui^ily twice a day with soda and use salt water asl®*;^^ an antis^tic, much of the mouth trouble would be corrected. Of course, this would not take the place of dental work that is necessary to preservation of the teeth and to the heal^ of the children who have decayed teeth, but it would result in great improve ment” Few people realke how much their health depends up(^ the condition of the teeth. If this were recognized, more stress would be i placed upon this phase of education. The mouth survey, so generously made by dentists of North Carolina, if it serves no other purpose, should ser/e to call the at tention of parents and school authorities to a condition that ought not to exist and by so doing, result in training that will help to cor rect the condition. Foetor Write* Again Editor of Joiimol-wtriot, North WllkMboro,. N. O. Dew Sit: I received * letter from Mr. R. L.

It I is strange, indeed, that at this pie will not soon forget an ad ministration of funds that have been used to promote selfishness at the expenses of human misery. I am not a great believer in death bed repentence, and, Mr. Wooten, it comes too late for yon to ask me or anyone else to come to your rescue at this late hour. I have no criticism to offer as to the conduct of Mrs. Foster.

And the Greensboro paper’s editorial sums up the situation in the following words; “'The Glorious Girls may smoke; Woman’s college gets some portion, perhaps more, periiaps less, of its sustenance from taxes paid by cigarette manufacturing companies every six persons are drawing money from the federal treasury? Julian S. Miller in his column, “Event and Comment”, in the Charlotte Observer, speaks of the situation as follows: “Twenty-two million Americans are drawing money from the federal treasury, or, one out of every six of the population of the country— men’ women and children, “Fifteen million of them are direct bene ficiaries, 1,700,000 farmers, 1,061,000 war vet erans and 13,000,000 relief cases. “You think of the Immensity of this matter from the money angle. That’s a serious fac tor. “But a far more involving phase of the situa tion is the social side. “What is happening to the inside philoso phies of this army of American citizens who are eating at the federal table? “The big question is now not so much what it is costing or how much longer all of this business will go on, but what sort of citizens will be left to emerge out of this enforced pros titution of the principles of government.” would realize that mistakes have; but she has been "ham- been made — glaring mistakes j strung” by political clicks that that any one familiar with con-1 bas made It Impossible for her ditions In Wilkes county would jq jq jbe things that her con- The Book the first line of which reads, ' The Holy Bible," and which contains four sreal treasures.

Reprove not a .scorner, lest he hate thee: re buke a wise map, and he will love thee. A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight. As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion. The simple believeth every word: but the pru dent man looketh well to his going. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. Many of the phrases and sentences have entered into our common talk.

Yours very truly, JOHN W. RAGLAND. deposit insurance corporation, it is interest-1 ing to note that the entire nation passed | - through the 31-day period without a single j bank failuie. : David Lawrence, noted commentator, calls j attention to this fact in a syndicated article. Mr. Lawrence is a conservative, but he ad-' nuts the wisdom of the deposit insurance, | r although he regards extension of the insur.-; anoe to cover deposits up to $10,000 as too' costly to undertake. Deposits are now in- | sored up to $2,500. j While a month isn’t a very long time, we^ are reminded that many months had pass-) ed prior to January since it could be saidj that no bank in the country failed. j The administration has handled frozen de- f posits—those tied up in closed banks—in such a manner as to evok 9 praise ^rora the . LAwrence pen. In ten months following the ^j^lring holiday, more than 50 per cent of tiiese frozen deposits was back in the hands of the rightful owners. That is something t« be gndeful for and an interested pubHc ypi iqiprove a pdicy which produces such .jufisfactory results. : her Go to the ant thou sluggard; consider ways, and be wise. Hope deferred maketh the heart sick. A soft answer tumeth away wrath; but griev ous words stir up anger. Where there is no vision, the people perish. He that spareth his rod hateth his son. A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly. {Wine is a mockery, strong drink is raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches. Some of the wisest and most memorable obser vations are set forth in poetic guise, which adds to their impressiveness: There be three things which are too wonder ful for me, yea, four which I know not: The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the. way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid. For three things the earth Is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear: For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat; For an odious woman when she is mani^ ; aiKl an handmaid that is heir to her mistress. These latter se1ecti(^. are not Solomon’s, init, c«ne from a man nanied'Agur, the son of Jakeh, about whom we know’ nothing. : - ' Having known Hon... John W. Ragland for many years, and feeling that he Is in every respect, splendidly qualified to discharge the duties of Su perior Court Judge, we, his friends and neighbors, take pleasure in recommending him to the Democratic voters of the Seventeenth Judicial Dis trict for nomination to .that office at the coming primary. Judge Ragland has served as emergency Judge and Prov en his qualifications for the of-, flee. His abUity as a latvyer has long been recognised in this section, and he hds, in a very marked degree, that po- culiar quality known as the Ju dicial Temperameat. He is al ways fair and conrteons and would make a Judge ot whkh the district and entire state would be proud. We think him worthy and well qualified for the high of fice to which he aspires, and we do heartily endorse and recommend him for our next Superior Court Judge. W. H. Hickey, K. W. Smns, W. W. B^ey,.
