J. BRYAN GRIMES.
In the death of J. Bryan Grimes, late
Secretary of State, North Carolina has
lojst a tine citizen and a most efficient
public* |ervant. Beginning liis import
ant duties while still a young man,
Mr. Grimes served his State in such a
manner that he was recognized as one
of the- greatest Secretaries of State
North Carolina has evej known, and
he ranked with the State s' most il
lustrious men at the time of liis
death. . Courtesy and promptness prob
ably were the* keynotes of the -adminis
tration of Mr. Grimes' department,
ami a communication or request to bis
office always brought a speedy and am,
curate reply.
Entering the office of Secretary of
State at the time North Carolina was
recovering from* the regime of Russell.
Mr. Grimes grew with the State, and
liis untiring efforts and great love for
North Carolina, have played an im
portant part in the State's develop
ment.
A BAD IMPRESSION.
A K i- itor in Concord this week asked
if the streets here trfe ever cleaned.
This person came from Greensboro,
and was shocked to see the dirt and
tilth that is allowed to accumulate and
remain on the streets here.
Such a condition should not exist.
It doesn’t take much money to keep
the streets clean, and it gives a. bad
impression for a visitor to come here
and see tin* rubbish and debris all ov
er our streets. We need one electric
street sweeperT and we should have
two. We have more than 32 miles of
paved streets here now, and they
should be protected and kept clean.
Dirt will ruin a street If allowed to
accumulate in great quantities, and
goodness knows there is plenty of dirt
on the streets here. It is a tine thing
for a city to progress, and by build
ing paved streets we are progressing,
but it is wasteful to bullcl the streets
and then let them become places for
the collection of trash. *
ADVICE TO WOMEN.
Josephus Daniels, generally known
as North Carolina's most famous liv
ing citizen, recently delivered a Found
ers’ Day address at Wintlirop College,
Rock Hill, S. in which he admitted
that this is an age of women and ad
vised the members of the gentler sex
to go into polities “heels over .head/’
The speaker, of course, meant no dis
respect in giving such advice. It was
just his way df stressing the import
ance of women taking advantage of
their new duty. Among other things
he said:
“Go iuto polities, heels over head,
unreservedly, wholeheartedly, yfuke
polities and good government one and
inseporable. I do not mean that you
must aspire to public office, though
you will find at times when the poli
cies you would see adopted must he
incarnated and you must light for an
office in order to achieve"results. In
most cases you can do most by fight
ing for principles rather than men, but
if the time comes when you must offer
t yourself to carry out your polivy. then
no timidity should cause you v to fail
jto r go out in the open and call upon
voters of like mind to entrust you with
(the job of cleaning out the Augean
i stables.”
Declaring further that no man or
woman who makes office-holding a
‘profession is apt to be a good public
servant, Mr. Daniels said:
“It is-ouiy the persons who accept
office to curry out rt for jus ami then to
return to tlit* plow who was deemed
worthy in . the days of <'ineuiimtus.
.Today the officeholder ought to stay
in office only so long as there is real
;service to perform and then return
alike to the sewing machine and plow.
If women could bring into polities ffn
‘end to the professional politician ami
ithe smashing of selfish political ma
chines. that alone would make her en
franchisement a blessing to the repub
' - «.
lie.” . / '
The address bf Mr, Daniels, we
think, was very timely. The women
will need encouragement in fulfilling
■ their political obligations, alpd such
advice as the former Secretary of the
Navy gave in bi§ Rock Hill address
should be of great value to them.
A FINE INVESTMENT.
Governor McLeod, of South Caroli
na, wants the Legislature of that
State to pass a law calling for a bond
issue of $50,000,000 to 4ie spent for
good roads. A special committee jip
pointed some time ago to investigate
tlie road question in South Carolina
approved of the bond issue, and the
Governor in liis annual message to the
Legislature, asked .for tlie issue.
The upper part of South Carolina, it
seems, favors the bond issue, but cer
tain other sections are against any
more taxes, and a fight
probably (Will lie waged against the
proposition. Such action, we think,
he a mistake. North Carolina lias
received almost $50,000,000 worth of
publicity from her bond issue of that
amount for good roads, and on fop of
that we are going to get $15,000,000
more to continue and enlarge tlie pro
gram as first mapped out v
Business in almost every line has
increased in North Carolina, with the
coming of better roads. The road pro
gram started conversation about the
State. The conversation led to inves
tigation by outsiders and tlie investi
gation led to more and bigger business
enterprises. The more favorable com
ment a State can got the more busi
ness it will get. The $50,000,000 will
come back to the people of South
Carolina many times, we believe, and'
this amount siieiit for a real road sys
tem will prove a wise investment. t
ETHYL ESTER PROVES
AM I RE FOR LEPROSY
Success of Treatment in Korea Be
lieved to * Insure Eradication of
Disease.
New York Times.
Hope for the eradication of leprosy
froin the world was expressed at the
meeting yesterday of the American
Missidrt so Loners; at 456 Fifth Ave
nue, duel to t ; lie success of a , new
treatment involving the use of ethyl
.ester, a product of chaulmoogra oil,
and an increasing interest everyliere
in the stamping out of the disease.
William Jay President:
Dr. R. M. Wilson of Korea and Dr.
Austin E. Abbott, who lias studied,
cprosy in India, joined in expressing
confidence that the evil might bo
brought under control.
Dr. Wilson described how he had
discharged ten patients in Korea last
March apparently euljed.of leprosy as
far as a medical examination cobid
ascertain. He said that the Japanese
Government was beginning to appre
ciate the possibilities of ridding Korea
of its 20,090 lepers, and extending the
work to its own country, where at
present only one. in forty who are af
flicted receives hospital care. The
>niy cure the Orientals have known,
he said, is the traditional one of eat
ing human flesh, to appease the gods
for inflicting their curse upon them
in ihe form of leprosy.
The ethyl ester derivative of choul
moogra oil, discovered a few years
ago by Professor A. L. Dean a chemist
of the University of Hawaii, is manu
factured by distilling the fatty acids
of the oil and adding camphor and
resoCcin. It is given to the patients
hypodermically. At the present time
1,900 patients in the PI ' 'ppines are
doing well under the new treatment,
according to Mr. Schieffe’in’s report,
which says that in other hospitals in
the Far East similar results are ob
tained.
ST. MIHIEL MAY LOOK
LIKE REAL NOAH’S ARK
Soldiers Returning From Rhine Want
to Bring All Their Queer Animals.
Coblenz. Jan. 12.—The American
transport St. Miliiel will look a good
deal like Noairs ark when she sails
from Antwerp with the last of the
American forces in Gennady if the.
officers and moil are allowed to carry
all the queer animals and merchandise
they have accumulated in the idb—aud
fanciful hours of the last four years.
The. great variety of these posses
sions began to dawn upon them dur
ing their hurried preparations for the
homeward voyage, and some are ex
pressing the fear that their mangerie
will have to be left, on the Rhine.
The men have acquired many strange
creatures, rangthg from monkeys to
Rhine fish. The exact number of
German police dogs in the outfit is
unknown, but they are multitude
and in addition there are numerous
dachshunds, turtles, and
song bir^ls.
Os the inanimate objects, there are
queer little music boxes fixed in the.
bottom of beer steins tluit, when
properly worked, make noises like
birds; there are weird collections of
postcards, antique, pictures and all
varieties of carved pipes, and great
supplies of carpets and civilian clothes,
the latter including queer shaped hats
and silk underwear bought at ridicu
lously low prices in Cologne, together
with furs and other odds arußends.
All these atje intended either as
gifts to the home folks, oi> in the
cases of those-i-inen who have mar
ried while on the Rhine, to lend com
fort to the. new homes they are plan
ning in the United States, as only a
few expect to remain in thp army af
ter their return,
Gettting all his duffle aboard the St.
Mibiel has become a great problem
hut all in all, it is certain the St
Mibiel will be full loaded. But it
is not so lunch what the soldiers want
to take that counts as what both of
ficers and men are leaving behind.
I she majority are pulling up by the
| roots of life they learned to love;
I it is not a regiment, but a colon*- that
is bein£ moved.
THE CONCORD TIMES
IHOUSE HISTORY REVOLVES
ABOUT REP. attJRPHt
Representative From Rowan Tells of
Experience in House About 26
1 Years.
News and Observer.
I Two brown-painted, yale-locked
• boxes with a slit, sort of like a mail
box on a table beside reading clerk’s
desk’s where members are direct
ed to put their bilks lio doubt make
for effiiciency. They :ave ot
time, and bashful members don’t have
to fight for recognition when they
want to send something forward in
•the way of Legislation.
But these same . boxes have left
three score new members complete
strangers, even though Ihe House is
Kittling this morning in its tenth
legislative day. Under tlie old\ sys
tem when a member got recognition
from the chair the whole House
craned its n,3ck ter take stock of him,
and presently when the reading clerk
called his name, everybody knew it
was iMr. So-ana-*So.
In a week’s time the House was
thoroughly acquainted with itself.
Thi? clerks and the newspaper men
and the members and the speaker
had no trouble in identifying every
body. Dick Fountain protested yes
terday. He wants a moratorium for
two weeks, wherein members will be
compelled to offer their bills in per
son so everybody Can know who ev
erybody else is. The advisement.
Fet,e Murphy is threatening to take
an hour off this morning and intro
duce every member of the House, be
ginning with Tobe Connor 'whom he
■will describe as the —well, if he will
just- do it will be well worth waiting
for. "But at that I might be dragged
before the bar pf the House again
for contempt,” he added reminiscent
ly.
That hectic chapter of legislative
history lias been forgotten by most.
Not! a menubar of the present House
except Mr. Murphy was there to see
it when it happened ’in February,
1897, some 26 years ago. and the ma
joirty of them' were not old enough
do be interested in the papers. The
former speaker, and outstanding
parliamentarian of the House, unless
he share the honor with Lindsay
Warren, unfolded it.
IMaybe the blood of men runs
cooler in these tithes than it did
then. Old wounds have healed, new*
times have befallen, and it would be
beyond the imagination of any mem
ber of the-House to conceive of such
goings on in the Hous“ this morning,
even if somebody’s feelings did get the
upper hand.
The :ease-<tf the North Carolina
railroad was 'being pressed by Goy.
Russell, who had just taken over the
office. The General Assembly was
badly split. Many counties were in
the hands of negroes. Vergil Lusk, of
Buncombe county, had been named
Speaker, Mr. Murphy, a somewhat
younger, but no more eloquent man
than he is now, was speaking. The
member from Halifax wished to in
terrupt.
“Will the gentleman from Rowan
yield to the gentleman from Hali
fax?” jthe speaker asked.
“Tlie gentleman from Rpwan will
yield to the member from Halifax,”
Mr. Murphy replied.
“The genti'eman from Rowan will
frame his answer in parliamentary
language,” thundered the Speaker,
pounding his desk with the gavel.
“The gentleman from Rowan wiil
yield to the nigger from Halifax,”
•Mr. Murphy amended.
Again the Speaker pounded his
desk with the gavel and thundered at
the young demanding that
he use the parliamentary phrase of
“gentleman.” “3 wilF give the gentle
man one more opportunity to con
form to the rules of parliamentary
proedure,” he stormed.
“The gentleman from Rowan will
yield to that negro from Ha'i
fax,” IMr. (Murphy shot back. The
House was in an uproar.
“The Sergeant-at-Arms wil' bring
the gentleman from-'Rowan before
the bar the House.” the Speaker
directed. The Sergeant-at-Arms mov
ed over to Mi*. Murphy's desk and
plucked him ging»*rly by the arm.
“They want you up yonder,” he
stammered;
‘‘You get this straigUV Mr. Mur
phy told him, without rising. “If
you lay your hands on me again, I
can promise you one thing—-that in
the next four days there will be a
mighty fine funeral somewhere. It
may bn in Rowan county, but I am
inclined to believe that it will be in
your family burying ground down
in Pitt County.”
The Sergeant-at-Arms fled to the
Speaker’s desk. “He -won't come,” he
reputed to Mr. Lusk. The House broke
up in a pandemonium. That night.
Russell drew up article of impeach
ment against Murphy which were in
troduced the following morning. Mur
phy went and stood beside the seat
of th£ member from Halifax while he
delivered his defense. The impeaching
resolution was lost by a vhte of 115

EVERETT TENDERED PLACE
OF SECRETARY OF STATE
Governor Takes Prompt Action to Fill
x Vacancy in His Council.
Raleigh News and Observer.
Representative W. N. Everett, of
Richmond county, was tendered the
appointment to complete the unexpir
ed term of the late Colonel J. Bryan
Grimes as Secretary of State iast
night by Governor Morrison. Mr. Ev
erett has asked the Governor for sev
eral days in wfiich to consider the
matter before coming to any final de
cision, but bis close friends are of the
i opinion that he will accept the ap
; pointnient.
The tender of the appointment to
Mr. Everett brought no surprise in
legislative and administrative circles
past night. His name was one of the
j first mentioned as a successor to Col
jonel Grimes, and the statement by
'.Tames A. Hart ness,, of Iredell, a one-,
’time candidate for the office tti^t/he
!<\vould not allow his name to he
seated to the Governor narrowed the
field of respective candidates.

HIGH POINT 'MAN BEATEN BY
MASKED MEN IN THOMASVILLE
R. E. Zimmerman Seized ons Premises
of Mrs. Strayhorn.—Warned tc
Leave Town.
Thomasviile, Jan. 11.—Driving intci
the yard of Mrs. H. G. Strayhorn last
night'at about 8 o’clock, R. E. Zim
merman, of High Point, stopped liis
car when he saw a light at a back
shod, and got out to investigate, leav
ing the lights of his automobile turned
on. Mr. Zimmerman took the crank
from his automobile as a means of
protection. He was accosted by two
masked men before reaching the shed,
and, according.to his statements, pis
tols were held to hisHjearibby the men.
Three other masked men arrived at
this time, states Mr. Zimmerman, and
he was gagged and led away to. a
more private, portiop of the Strayhorn
premises, where he was flogged, his
clothing badly torn and hair on the
top of his head closely sheared. Mr.
Zimmerman states,that he was then
led to a lot back of the graded school
ams forced to promise to stay away
from Thomasviile.
Zimmerman was able to make his
way to the home of J. W. Lambeth,
on South Main Street, where he called
up police quarters, requesting the of
ficers to go for his car and bring it
around to him. This morning Mr.
Zimmerman came over from High
Point and in company with Chief
Wimberly went to the Strayhorn home,
where the affair was discussed. Chief
Wimberly and other police officers are
busy in attempts to apprehend the
parties who made the attack. v
Mrs. Strayhorn statas that after al
lowing sufficient time for the persons
or persons driving into her yard to
ring the doorbell, she went to the door
ami saw (he car standing in the drive
way, the motor still running and the
lights on. She states that after the
car stopped on her premises she heard
some kind of screaming noise, but
thought it/Was some boys passing on
the street making a noise, as they
some times do. She further states
that she then became somewhat excited
ami cajjfed police quarters, hut re
ceived nb response. She then tried to
call het brother, T. F. Harris, who lives
on an adjoining lot, and failing to get
him, called E. F. Westmoreland to
| come over and find out, if possible,
iwjhflt was wrong.
Her first knowledge of what had
happened was disclosed when a police*
man came around for Zimmerman’s
car.
Mrs. Strayhorn is one of the promi
nent residents of Randolph Street, and
lias a music class numbering about
40 wjiieh* she teaches in lier home.
Her daughter, Miss Verna Strayhorn.
a young girl of high school and college
attainments and greatly beloved, lives
with her. and her son, Lionel Stray
horn's wife, of Fargo, S. D., is mak
ing an extended visit to the home
following the holidays.
Mrs. Strayhorn >tates that Mr. Zim
merman spent live years in her home
during his residence in ThomasvillA
and that his conduct In her home had
always been that of a gentleman;
that she. looks upon him more as a
son than in any other way on account
of their long and pleasant friendship.
Mr. Zimmerman states he believes
that the attack on his person was
made byNsome enemies of his who
lost money in some, transactions with
him here when he was engaged in the
sale of trucks, and that the ivu Klux
Kl«n had nothing to do with it. 0
Officers feel that it is not v at an
certain that the attackers live in this
community, as there, is not yet any
clue as to who they are nor where they
live.
It is stated, however, later that a
pair of.clippers supposed to have been
used, was found at the. place where
the hair cutting took place, and that
the initials of a man in this town are
on the instrument.

JOSIAH BAILEY TALK&
TO THESTATE EDITORS
He Discusses Test of Civilization and i
Relation of the Press Thereto. i
High Ponit, Jan. 11.—Determining i
factors and forces in the present test i
of civilizatiton and the relation of j
the press thereto was the subject on
which Josiah W. Bailey, of Raleigh,
former state collector of internal
revenue, tonight addressed the. North
Carolina Press Association in session
here.
Civilization, Mi*. Bailey said, was at
stake, and the dqty of the press was
such that necessitated broad action.
Citing President Harding as the,
“most conspicuous watchman upon the
towers of civilization,” Mr. Bailey re
peated part of the introductory to
the message of the President to Con
gress on December 8, in which the.
President said:
"It is no figure of speech to say
we have come to the test of our civ
ilization. * * * I am not speaking at
this moment of the problem in its
wider-aspects or -world rehabilitation,
or. of international relationships. The
reference is to our own social, finan
cial and economic problems., at home
* * * Every nation . puis ; t he able to
carry on ! fqr itself, else its interna
tional relationships will have, scant
importance.”
This passage, Mr. Bailey said, was
the most solemn utterance from a
President since Lincoln's address at
Gettysburg, and he added that the*
problem of civilization was serious
enough in this country to engage "our
individual attention/’
The speaker defined tiie present civ
ilization and set froth !faet(J\s
which he said were working for and
against it, naming what he described
as “the seven plagues of America.” He
cited disrespect for the law, the pur
suit of luxury aud extravagance', tin*
abuse of government, incompetenets in
polities, popular indifference to po
litical matters, commercial disorgani
zation and “ever increasing tax bur
den,” as forces which are seeking to
destroy civilization. On the other
hand, Mr. Bailey, asserted, the forces
seeking to save, and preserve civiliza
tion were summed up as quiet men
apd women who seek out the simple
ways of life, the responsibility of the
ministry, the steady hand gs success
ful business men, and the powers of
the press.
The free press, the speaker asserted,
is one of the corner stones ol" our re
public. If the preachers must wage,
a crusade, no less must the editors.
The safeguarding of civilization and
its preservation was something, he
said, which “newspapers ought t<*
reckon with.”
“Right views of the functions of gov
ernment,’' Mr. Bailey continued, “stern
demands up<Jh political representatives,
unsparing denunciation of the preda
tory demagogs on the other, a righteous
wrath poured out upon the spenders,
the disciples of extravagance in public
and private domains, the assertion of
the moral standard in polities, upraise
of the virtues of simple living and
contentment in domestic and du
ties—these will adorn any newspaper
editorial pages, and go far at the same
time to arrest the vicious tide that
now threatens our civilization.”

Henderson Banks in Good Sba|>e.
Henderson, X. C., Jan.JLB. —Prosperi-
ty is reflected in the reports for 1022 j
activities of the four banks here. All I
of the institutions have just finished
holding their annual stockholders’
meetings, at which the several officials
predicted better record.? wilt be made
in 1923. !
Each of the banks paid dividends
last year, according to the reports, I
which also showed all to l>e in good j
condition.
As a ryle, large animals live long
est. The life of an elephant is four- >
teen times that of a rabbit, while 1
that of a goose is eight to ten times
that of a jgparrow.
