In discussing the matter of Stanly’s action in spending her State Highway money. The Albemarle Press says: -We have no grievance against Cun cord and Cabarrus cdjhnty in their de sire to get Stanly county to change her intention of hard surfacing the road which leads through No. 10 township in Cabarrus on to Charlotte, and to build this road through Mt. Pleasant and .Con- Cord. The .lower route under - wised survey will giv<* from live r<* ten miles shorter travel than would the one through Concord, but Stanly feels that there is more at stake even than this. Os late years. Stanfield. Oakborn. Locust, and. in fact, the entire southwestern ‘section of our county has shown strong tenden cy towards fast development along edu cational and industrial lines, and When “Lonnie” droves gets his mill started at Oakboro. it is expected that even more will take place than Inis place now. As to the Cabarrus cofcten tion that the spirit of the law of apply ing the funds to. be obtained should lead us to apply it to connecting the county seats of Stanly and Cabarrus first, there is not sufficient essence in this to cause Stanly to turn aside from a plan which would be to her greater interests, if this ; can be shown, in the employment of the I road funds at Jier command. The ques-* tion of broadest service to the greater number should dominate. But The Press would assure the people of Cabarrus , that Stanly county entertains feelings of sp-ongeet friendship for them, and whatever course is taken will be as free from selfish control as possible.” Concord is going to send a delegation to Albemarle next week to discuss road matters and while it is evident from the above editorial and from other reports coming from Albemarle, that the Stanly people are already decided as to the Charlotte road, we think it is well and gf.od that this matter should be discuss ed by men from the tvyo cities. Stanly citizens who want the road to go to Charlotte favor that road because they think it will be of greater benefit to their county than the road to Concord. Con cord people think the road to this city would be of the greater advantage. It is a question that should be thoroughly dis cussed at least. .The location M the road will not af fect .the friendship of the two counties, of course. Stanly and Cabarrus h*ve always been as brothers and they are going to continue that way. »-*l THE MILLION DOLLAR CRUISE. Senator Overman, of North Carolina. Senator Dial, of South Carolina.•• and certain other members of Congress have announced that they will not take the cruise with Chairman linker of the Shipping Board, on the steamer Levia than. This fact has been established during the past several days in reports from Washington. ,tbe Senators and oth ers declining the invitation for the junk et they were informed that the trip would cost the government- not less tha-n one million dollars. During the past week or ten days much criticism against the trip has de veloped in every part of tlie countiy. Senators Overman and Dial were -frank to admit that they did u not approve of the trip, and their opposition has found general favor. ** The New York World' suggested that if the Leviathan had to make this trip that the sailing party be composed of disabled soldiers and sailors. The sug gestion what that if the government has a million dollars to throw away on a pleasure cruise the guests should be crippled soldiers or sailors rather than uncrippled statesmen, politicians and civ ilians. ■' The Salisbury Post beeves “the.truth of-the matter is that the trip is without feouiid reason.” and we agree in this opinion. Maritime experts agree in the opinion that' the Leviathans tiip fioin Newport News to Boston was all the test ghe needed. - She -that* trip all right. .. Why spend a million dollars just Jo please Chairman Lasker and a few of | his friends? The chairman of the ship j ping board has never made it quite plain as to why the trip should be taken, other than his early statement that the trip was to be in the nature of a test, and with experts declaring this is unneces sary. what is the real object ? Nothing but a pleasure trip, at the expense of the public. A million dollars' is not much as mon* ey goes wick the federal government, but it is just a million wasted here and there, as in this instance, that makes taxes so high in this country. THE HALF-HOLIDAY. For several years Concord merchants closed their stores each Thursday after noon during the summer months. The plan naturally found favor with the clerks, but for some|reason the plan was abandoned last yean and so far as w.e ran learn it has not been seriously consider ed this year. Most of the clerks are dis appointed. however, anti are of the opin ion that but little business would be lost if the half-holiday were granted each week. In explaining their views the clerks have talked along the sale line we find in an editoridf. “Store Closing,” from the able pen of Editor Julian Miller, of The Charlotte News: The grocervmen of the city, with re markable unanimity, have agreed to close their stores Thursday afternoons during the Summer months in furtherance of the idea that those who work therein tire entitled to an afternoon of "’leisure dur ing the hot period. The staiyl is commendable. It is in keeping with the new thought and the new exjierience that have attacked busi ness men and merchants generally with in these late years in turning more of their attentive thought to the well being of those laboring for them. Jt formerly was the idea of mer chantmen that it was their duty to keep their doors open just as long as there was anybody on the streets. There was no concern in those-times for tine physi cal interests of the employes. it was i purely a money-grabbing, cut-throat sort of a competitive struggle, and the mer chant who opened earliest and closed lat est figured that lie was destined to get all that could possibly be coming to him. It is quite different now. Storekeep ers are discovering that their wellbeing is largely intertwined with the morale of their clerical staff and that if those who work in she stores can keep in a content ed. pleased and loyal humor, it is worth more to she store than to keep its doors open continuously. That is the explan ation of the shorter hours, the regular closings, and darkness in stores Sat urday nights and a host of other diver; sions aimed to produce within the ranks of she employed classes a better atmos phere and a great physical, social and moral fitness for their respective tasks. cAn t see the light. It seems that some people will never be able to see the light. In practically every city in the country today there are building and loan associations offering safe investments, still we find many peo ple who would rather invest their money in something foolish. The Greensboro News finds that “thousands of people have lost millions of dollars in the col lapse of New York Curb brokerage con cerns within the past few days, and bucket-shop victims are still putting up a loud and 'desolate chorus. Building and loan yields only a modest per centage per year, sound commercial se curities not a great deal more. Rut the money put into such things stays put.” Those last two words express the real worth of the building and loan associa tions. of which Concord has three of the best in North Carolina. When you in west in these organizations your money “stays put” and it is there for you. with reasonable interest, all of the time. Peo ple who will invest their money in curb market firms and similar enterprises de serve little sympathy when the inevita ble “shock” comes. i \ THE EDITORS AT THE ROCK. Blowing Rock this week is the ineeca for North Carolina newspaper men, and one of the largest crowds in the history of the North Carolina Press Association is expected to attend the sessions of the Association which begin Wednesday night at the Mayview'Hotel. Officers of the Association have ar ranged an interesting program for the meeting, and in addition to this fine program there will be many additional features that can be secured only at the mountain resort. After the official pro gram is completed on Friday the editors and their families and friends will be taken to Linville. where a big picnic will be served. Thus a full program from Wednesday night- through Saturday is assured. / Blowing Rock is rapidly becoming one of the most famous of the pleasure resorts in Western North Carolina, _ The Rock has always been mora or less popular, but. only within the past several years has it bw-ome generally popular, and the number of visitors reaching the city is increasing each year. In addition Jio the number of hotel and boarding house vis itors. The Rock each year is having a greater number ot‘ all-summer visitors, persons who rent cottngfes and spend the entire hot season there, and the climate has proved so popular that the number of families is increasing yearly. “The Switzerland of America” is the name that is often given to Blowing Rock and that name about fits. ' The joint meetiug of the North and Soutjj Carolina Seed Crushers/ Associa tion was held. at The Rock last week. ThiS'xveek the editors are meeting there, and in the near, future, the . State Bar -Association will hold, its annual meeting i there. SOUTH STILL LEADING. f According to a report made public last ; week, the' number of hales of cotton con i’ sumed in the United States during May 1 % was much in excess of the amount used in April, but was not as great as the amount used in March, when a record for the country was established. The cotton consumption report showed that cotton mill business in practically every part of the United States was good again in May, although conditions in some sections were a little uncertain in April: The same condition has aris en again this month in some) sections, but generally speaking the textile busi ness is good at present. The cotton producing States led the rest of the United States in cotton con sumption during May. Thia fact shows that the South is-continuing to keep the great volume of business it first receiv ed not so many months ago. and indicates that the Southern Mills intend to keep this business. For many mouths now the cotton producing States have led the rest of the United States is the amount of cotton used. Despite the short crop last year, the small carryover aifd the great consump tion during the. past six months, cotton prices are still uncertain and the staple ■is not bringing what it is worth. This is ode of the mysteries, and shows very clearly that some factor outsida of cot ton raising or cotton consumption after all regulates the price of cotton. There were about 100,000,000 hales of cotton traded and sold last year, with about 11,000,000 bales raised. That shows what is the matter. The mills did nor complain of the price when cotton went to 30 cents, and it is certain that no one else in the South complained. But some factors got behind the market, and just at the time when cotton should have gone up more or at least should have stayed at the 30 cent level, . the price slumped. /. STOP. LOOK. LISTEN BECOME LAW JULY 1 AH Motor- Vehicles Must Come to a Step Before Crossing Railroads. Instead of being a mere warning to ilie public the familiar “Stop. Look and Listen” signs at railroad crossings will become a law after July Ist. The last session of the North Caro lina general assembly passed a bill re quiring every person driving any motor vehicle on a public highway on approach ing grade crossings to stop, look anti listen, before passing over the rails. For violations of this law a fine of $lO. or imprisonment not more than 10 days, or both, is provided. At the time of its passage the measure met with some opposition by who claim it is designed to protect the rail roads against damage suits arising from grade crossing accidents. It is-claimed to be a debatable point as to whether the railroads will be liable for damage in instances where persons who do not •top. look and listen, drive upon grade crossings and sustain injuries. By others the new law is hailed as providing •i splendid safeguard to lives and prop erty. A similar law is now effective in Virginia and in other states.

In the issue of June 2nd, of the Literary Digest appears a well writ ten.. article headed, A World-Wide Choice of Vacation Spots, which des cribes the wonderful and beautiful vaca tion spots dotting America from the Statue of Liberty in the harbor of Now York, to the land of the setting stin in California, and the most northern point of far away Alaska to the warm waters of the. Gulf Stream. But to our mind, the paragraph* con taining a short description of the Alleglmnies, overshadows in beauty of description and arouses a pride of ownership, that, the many other pages of the article failed to. We quote. “For to the southward between the Great Smokies and the Blue Ridge is the vast summit-crowned tableland, within which is found mountain aeeimry unsurpassed eastof the Rockies—‘The Land of the Sky’—as it is aptly designated. It is a tabyrifh of brawling brooks. leaping rivers, peaks yet. unclimbed, gorges still unknown, valleys hidden away among the mountains and visited only by a few.” writes John U. Barrier in his excellent description in “Seeing * Sunny South.” The last five words of Mr. Farris’ quotation, “and' visited only by a few” leaves just a touch of n sting to a well worded compliment to our state, yet it is the truth. For the beauties, the un doscribable beauties of our own Land of the Sky are known only to eampara tiyely few. and we are sad to admit that many of our people have never feasted their eyes upon that wonderful play ground of western North Carolina. North Carolina is the logical play ground of the south.

June 15.—“ Lots of sym pathy is wasted in cases of this kind.” Judge W. M, Bond, presiding over the June criminal term of court, told a crowded court room,audience this' morning when lie sentenced Thomas B. Pierce, of Warsaw, former cashier of the Home Saving Bank iu this city, to serve five years in the State prison. The sentence covered Pierce’s ■ conviction in three of the five" counts in which he was charged with embezzling funds be longing to the bank and its customers. The sum alleged to lufve been embezzled bv the convicted cashier ranges between $04,000 and $103,000. Upon withdrawal of the appeal this afternoon, by the attorney for Pierce, Judge Bdhd reduced the sentence to four years in the State penitentiary. Pierce was taken to Raleigh tonight and is now iu the penitentiary. Although emphatic is his declara tion that it is not his desire to be harsh. •Judge Bond made it plain that, the should be -stern in the handling of bank embezzlement cases. “In this case,” he said, “the bank, or at least Mr. Hill, its president, has lost $30,000. The customers and . public have suffered a lost of more than SIOO,OOO. This man had no right 1« use the public’s money for private gain and private specula tions. There is a lot of bank busting going on these days, and it has* got to come to a stop. The bank business must remain' -unshaken. If something isn’t done to bring a stop to this kind of stealing, it will get so people will re fuse to trust their funds to banks.” "This is tiie fourth case in winch a bank cashier or a bank president has been before my court within two years. In each instance the defendants were charged with rubbing the public of thousands of dollars. There is no excuse for such act. The bankers who resort to this practice do so deliberately, wil fully and wrongfully. Maybe this young man intended paying tiie money back had lie won out. This, however, doesn't alter the ease. lie had no right to the money,” ludee Bond, continued. Tiie judge concluded his remarks by declaring that if the time has eomo when men can misappropriate thous ands of dollars at a time without pay ing the penalty, it is time to be more lenient with - men who steal a ham or a bushel of wheat.” These petty thieves,” lie said, “are at present always headed for the roads." , r IIAS NARROW ESCAPE AS HIS4HOME IS DESTROYED Mr. Johnson, of No. 3 Township. I jb.-vt His House and Furnishings Last Night. Reports reaching Concord today of the building of the home of Mr. Joseph Johnson, of No. 3 township, last night, toil of the narrow escape Mr. Johnson had during the tire. The home of Mr. Johnson was burned last night about 11 o’clock and the home and most of his household effects were consumed iu the blaze. According to a report here today Mr. Johnson himself had a narrow escape. The blaze was discovered by one of Mr. Johnson s sons, who had beeu to Poplar, Tent for a ride. Coming home the soon entered the house and soon heard a roar ing sopud above the stairway leading to tlu' second story of the house. Soon the roaring noise became louder and the young mari went to a window to see what was causing the noise. It was then that he saw the flame and smoke gush ii’g from a window on the second floor of the house. . Practically the entire upper story of the house was burning by this time, and the son only had time to get the mem bers of the family out of the house be fore they were all driven back by the heat. For this reason only a*few pieces of furniture were saved. < >ne insurance man stated this morn- j ittg that Mr. Johnson had $875 worth of insurance with his company.

A recent operation wicli has attract ed unusual attention was that on an eight-weeks’-old Irish setter puppy, who had swallowed seventeen large iron staples and screws that were left scat tered about kennel. The operation was performed by the well-known veterinary surgeon Dr. C. Pedriek, of Tulsa. Okla., which was also 1 the home, of the iron-eating youngster.
