Such sentences do more harm than good for the prohibition law. What is the sense in fining a man a large sum and sending him to jail in addition, and then reducing the sentence to some silly fine,- The Citizen thinks such sentences are farcial, saying, “all of us know that sentences of this kind are farcical. They make t’lie prohibition law a joke. Boot leggers will laugh at the law and the courts, while officers of the law and good citizen.' who want the law enforced will realize that it will not Im* worth while to bestir themselvflK tWe wonder if Judge.Mauldin tealizrd just what he was do'tig win it In imposed these sentences V” THE BIG QUESTION. Governor McLeod, jut South Carolina, contends that, the greater problem in connection with the exodus of* the negro from the South to the northern indus trial centers, is not the labor situation in the South but the future of the negro in the industrial centers to which he is mi grating. And there is sound logic iu Ins reas oning. The Northern industrial centers welcome the negro en masse, but what about the negro individually? Business is good in the industrial centers now and the negro probably will get along all right so long as Tills condition exists, but what about hard times? Tbe Southerner knows the negro. He knows how to work him and treat him. and thousands of the negroes who have gone north will realize this soon. In the youth the white man takes care of tfce negro all the year found. In practical ly every Southern town the negroes have sorce whito ESS to wbo* W "•>*“ •in trouble. They know -tW white men < will stick to them. If business is bad and the Southern white man can't work the negro he feeds liim just the same. But what will the Northerner do? Will, lie look after the negro as well as the Southerner has done? And what is to become of the industrial centers when business gets bad? What is to be done with the negro then? It (is undoubtedly true that many ne» groes are already tired of the North, but they can't get home. The labor solicitor wall, take them North, but lie Won't send them back home when work runs out or when the negro becomes dissatisfied. It is certain that a majority of the negroes who recently went north will write to "white folks’’ in the South for money when they decide to come home. They know, the “white folks" will send the money, for they have always, shown an interest in them. Concord negroes declare many of the travellers already are tired of the North erm'life. One negro in writing home is quoted as saying. “Pray for me,” hint ing that he is broke and disgusted with his new home. We believe there are many cases similar to this. The South is the place for the negro. We have no doubt that there are a lot of “broker" and wiser negroes in the North today’, who. if asked, would advise their colored friends to stay in the Southland. GETTING RESULTS. Governor Cameron Morrison, speaking in Charlotte recently, declared he is get ting fine results with the investigation he is making into prison conditions in North Carolina. Governor Morrison de clared that in every instance solicitor and county commissioners are assisting in the investigation and lie is delighted with the co-operation shown. Reports of bad conditions in some county camps continue to be aired. The county board of welfare declares condi tions in the camps of Guilford arc not what they should be by any means, ac cording to reports from Greensboro, and the board makes many recommendations. Other counties are making reports to the Governor, and while a fhajority »f ( tin reports ape favorable, most all of them contain recommendations, which implicate that the camps are not conducted wholly a> they should he. This is to be expected and is just the reason Governor Morri son wants the investigation. At the outset.of his investigation Gov ernor Morrison declared' that lie was go ing to the “bottom" in an effort to get . true conditions, and lie gives e\»*ry indi cation that he will carry out this policy. It is the only right and sensible policy to follow. The people of North Carolina have been aroused over the question and they should know the facts. If condi tions in the camps have been as terrible as pictured in some instances, that is n< reason why Ihe public should not be in formed about them. Public sentiment will do more than anything else to wipe put unjust ami unfair methods in the camps, whether they be State or county, and the people should be told just what is being learned by the (lovernor's 'inves tigation. > A CITY NEED. One heard almost daily complaint here of the fact that the streets of the city bear no name plates and most of the houses no numbers. The proposal to erect the name plates at all street inter sections was taken up last year by the aldermen who dropped the matter when they were told what the cost would be on a proposed sign post. We think money should not be recklessly spent, but we contend that the placing of the signs is one of the biggest needs in the city and they should be erected at once. If the city cannot afford to erect the kind of posts that were shqwn here last year.' why not try something else? Concord is not a village or town any more., Every man and woman in the city does not know the house in which every other man and woman lives. It is not easy now to keep up with one's neighbor in some parts of the city, to say nothing of strangers. So far as we have been able to learn only a few of the streets in the city are marked. People come into The Times- Tribune office almost daily trying to find the location of some street. There is no wa,y to find the average sfc'eet here without stopping someone and asking questions. The population of Concord is changing rapidly now. New people are coming here every day. some of the old ones are leaving. It is hard for a stranger to get about when he lias no sign posts on the streets to designate them. W ( tire frank to admit that we do not understand how a person gets about, or ever locates a desired house. After a person finds a street here now. by asking everyone lie meets the direction, he would have to stop at every house and ask which house bore such and such a number. Very few of the houses arC ■ properly numbered and a majority of 1 them have no numbers at all. ' The sign posts and numbers probably ' will cost the city some money, but they ' are needed. We can't stick to our pro -1 vincial habits because of a few dollars. * We are growing, we are becoming more of a city each year, and it is time we des * ignated our streets and numbered our* s houses in a citified fashion. t s 1 THE PRESIDENTS TRIP. 1 t Plans for the trip President Harding will make to Alaska this summer have e been about completed. < The President . will return to Washington via the Pau e ama Canal and eu route to Alaska plans e to make at least 14 speeches, e The country is awaiting the trip with - keen interest. The people seem to want e to know\just what kind of a trip Mr. a r Harding will make out cf it. There are ii I many, who believe he trill Seize this op portunity to defend his administration, and thus* lay the foundation for liis claim to the Republican nomination in 1924. Others believe he will devote his ad dresses to a defense of his court plane and still others believe he will devote' the trip solely to a study of Alaska and her needs and wants. The latter may be the reason the Pres ident is going to Alaska, but there will be plenty of polities mixed in with the more serious side of the journey. Mr. Harding in all probability will lie"' a candidate again, and lie is not to miss this chance to boost himself 'and his party. Arid in some sections through whiell he will travel he will have a wide, field to work in. He will pass through the stronghold of Senators Bo rah, LaFollette and Brookheart, and it would be a fine thing if he could carry to the people ther£ a message of sanity. Americanism and conservatism. Republican leaders will see to it that the opportunities of the trip are grasp ed. and while Mr. Harding will gave Alaska serious consideration once he reaches it, we fully expect him to de vote liis time en route to a defense of his administration and a plea for anoth er chance. Salisbury business and Church men went after Catawba College in a deter mined manner, and their efforts brought results. The Triisteos of the College, meeting in Salisbury Tuesday, decided to move the college to that city, and the 1924 term probably will open iy Rowan comity. The acquisition of Catawba Col lege should mean much in the business and religious life of. Salisbury, and Sal isbury should mean about as much to the college. The college is to Im* raised to a Grade A institution with its remov al to Salisbury, and plans have already been outlined by which the institution will he made larger and more* capable of ’raining the many tine young men which enter it yearly. The college will not op *n in Salisbury next Fall because tin equipment will not be ready in that city before the Fall of 1924, when the insti tution will call Salisbury home. It seems certain that the General As sembly of North Carolina is in for a special meeting. It has been expected that the’ Governor would call a special session to discus's financial matter since the have determined the status of |he State's finances, and Governor Morrisoi# in an Asheville speech deelaned die expected to call the session in regard f * the ship lin(i matter if his proposition got a favorable report from the com mittee making the" investigation; While we do not expect flu* committee to rec ommend the establishment of a ship line, it probably will recommend better port facilities. which are included in, the Gov erjior’s plans. y»nd for that reason the special session may be etilitnl. MILLIONAIRE MARRIES HIS NOTED .840.000 COOK Paper Maker Weds Woman Whose Dishes Mean Life to Ilim. Muskegon. Mieji.. June 4. —Eugene E. Meurer. milli main* palter manu facturer of Muskegon, has married Miss Margaret Wassermitn. "his $40,000 •onk" whose specially prepared dishes Meurer repeatedly declared meant “life itsey - ' to him. The marriage license was obtained May 24 but information concerning it was suppressed at the County Clerk’s office here until today. The ■ millionaire Tfive his age as 02 and that of liis bride as 42. The two were married May 25 by Rev. George Bohn, pastor of St. John's Evangelical Church. Efforts had been made to keep the marriage secret. The manufacturer's fondness for the woman's cooking led to a break between Meurer and liis family. llis domestic disunities began to attract internation al attention last Jamiaiy. when his daughter. Mrs. Walter Voßh. came here from Germany and had Miss Wasserman. whom she charged was tak ing place of_ the wife in the home, hur ried to Germany. Meurer fought the move after first consenting and giving the cook $40,000 for faithful services. Efforts at reconciliation faded and Meurer filed suit for divorce against his wife who had been visiting in Ger many for two years. He charged deser tion. Mi ss Wasserman attempted to re-en-1 ter the United States but immigraTHni officials interfered until Meuptr pro vided bonds. Meurer is suffering from a chronic stomach ailment and "declares his present wife’s cooking is ''indispens able if he is to live. Aviators Carry Bale of Cotton From Georgia to New Bedford.

June fi, at 10 o’clock. The bridge near the Hathcoek mill River View, as it is known, will be formally opened to the public. For years and. years the people of Stanly and upper- Anson have been pleading for a bridge i built by the state and free to the public. The opening of this bridge is the con necting link between the two counties and will be the means of great trade Already the wholesale houses of Wadesboro are speaking of using trucks for carting their goods to lower Stanly. Much trade will be brought to Norwood aiid Albemarle from the Ansonville section. The bridge is on the slate highway and the roads are splendid from Wadesboro to Albe marle and the north and south line of travel has been opened up and is just as important to this section as the Yadkin bridge at Swift Island on the Cliarlotte-Raleigli highway. • There will be many interesting speak ers present, among thrin Frank Page.

The college campus was overflowing with automobiles and pedestrains from the opening of the doors of graven Memorial for the final exercises this morning until the conclusion of the ceremonies around the flag pole this evening. “Do you exist for what may be done in ylm or for what may he done through you,?" asked William Herbert Perry Eaunee. president of Brown university. Providence. R. 1., in the commencement address this mertiing. The hall was packed to the doors long before the scheduled time for the exercises to be , giti. At 11 a. in. the procession composed i of the board <>f trustees of the college, members of the faculty, the alumni, and the graduating class marched formally into the crowded hall to their reserved seats, while the audience chanted a liymur.' . | „ After challenging the members of the graduating class with the question of what. Up* purjiose of their education had been. Dr. France divided' an eduea- . tors into the two eiasscs, which result from their choice in this matter, "Those who believe that we exist for what may. be done through us are the advocates of vocational training* and those who lievo that we exist for J what may be done in us are the advocates of the , highest possible cultural training, said President Eaunee. As a compromise be tween the two schools of thought he added that “nothing important will ever be done through us until something is - done in it.”- After the commencement address degrees were conferred oil the 121 j candidates forth!* A. B. degree and on the 10 candidates for the M. A. degree. President Few conferred the degrees after the usual ceremony had been . carried out. Geld Nugget of 103 Pennyweights is Found. Stanlv News-Herald. One of the largest gold nuggets to be picked up in Stanly county for many a year was Unit one which was found near the surfsfl'o on last Thursday’ by Mr. I). P. Kirk near the old Ingrain mine on the land of Mr. Tilnian Eo.sper nian. two or three miles east of Albe marle. The nugget tipped the scales at 103 penny weight, and was one of the finest specimens ever seen iu this sec tion. Quite a number of Albemarle people saw the nugget Saturday after noon. The discovery of this nugget, so near the surface, in a section befieveo to be rich in this valuable nn*tal, lias renewed interest in milling and we should not' be surprised tip see this-be come a great industry in this county at a very early date. In the same sec tion where Mr. Kirk found the large nugget last Thursday, other smaller size nuggets have recently been picked up. and it is thought that the metal can be mined there in great quantities with the proper machinery.

Raleigh, June 0. —If teachers In North Carolina carry on the studies of ( school finances and school laws outlined by the executive eommisse of the State Education Association, the sentiment for increased and continued support of public schools will be solidified, in the opinion of Dr. E. C. Brooks, superin-, teudent of public instruction, and other officials of the department. These studies will be conducted by the local units of the association, of which Aliss Elizabeth Kelly is president, in ' every city and county system in the state, according to plans. The organ ization will co-operate with the state reading circle committee and try to out line a course of study which superin tendents can credit teachers for com pb ting. 1 “Tile Education Association,’’ said Jule B. Warren, secretary, "believes there can be no let up in enthusiasm for better schools if the people of the state get the facts about pfiblie-expendi tures for school, and for this reason these studies will be built around the business of financing the public school system. “The general subject of the course of studies will be ‘Dividends on Our Edu cational Investment.' The general plan was outlined by a committee composed of some of the best informed school per-J sons in the state, a committee taken from every department of -Jhe schools. This committee is composed of Aliss Betty Aiken Land, for a .number of years rural .school supervisor of Guilford coun ty : Superintendent Harry I*. Harding, Charlotte city schools: Superintendent E. L; Best. Franklin county schools; Miss Edith F. Gilbert. Wake county teacher, and Forest T. Shelby, a member of the faculty of-the Durham city schools. “The course of study eontemp’ates a complete investigation of the costs of •public education in North Carolina, a comparison of these costs in every com munity with the average cost in the state and nation, a study of the sources of revenue for public schools, and finally an investigation of the results obtained from this expenditure in the enrichment of the lives of the community. committee suggests that at least thVee meetings of the local be devoted to tJiese studies. More meetings may be added if the local deems it wise and de sires to broaden the field of investiga tion. The committee suggestion for a division of the subjects and the sub heads-tinder these decisions in somewhat as follows : “I. What are we investing in .educa tion in North Carolina? The state’s part: the county’s part*: the community’s part: the per capita cost now and ten years ago. Can this per capita he re duced without impairing the efficiency of the schools. “2. The returns on this investment. Larger school attendance: reduced il literacy : larger high school enrollment: increase in college enrollment: better teaching as shown by standard tests and measurements: community activities: ef fect of the consolidation of schools on the social life of rural communities. “3. Ts the dividend commensurate with the investment? Compare the per cap ita cost of education in your community with the poV capita cost in the United Brafes. the state, the county, other dis tricts: compare the cost with what it would eost Ao sand tlfe same number ’of | children to private schools,, where they | could get just as good advantages. The | costs compared with other public I expenditures such as roads, prisons, pub lic buildings, street.s water, lighting: < eommuiiiity wealth now and ten years agm If there is an increase, lias edu- ' cation contribued to the growth in per j capita saving accounts, tax values and' other evidences of increase in wealth? In what way has education helped the religious life of your community? Good roads and good sehoojg; good health and | good schools; good farming and good j schools.” RAIL EARNINGS RANGE HIGH AS 7.93 PER CENT | April Statements For Southern Lines Show 7.18 Per Cent Tentative Value.
