GASTONIA OUT AFTER
LENOIR RHYNE COLLEGE
Plans Are Rapidly Maturing Into a
Concrete Proposal for the Directors.
Gastonia. June 15. —Plans for secur
ing Leuoir-Rhyne College are being
worked out as rapidly as possible by the
Gastonia Chamber of Commerce, strong
committees being at work on details.
When the preliminary work is completed
the board of directors will be able to
place everything before the membership
and there will be something- to
work upon. Later interested «people
throughout the county will be called into
conference.
"While the days are passing and peo
ple are constantly asking what is being
done,’’ said an official of the chamber
this morning, ‘"work is steadily
on. There .are a number of matters to
be worked out and some of them take
time.
‘Tt would have been an easy -matter
at the outset to call a big meeting aiid
get all sorts of resolutions adopted, but
resolutions do not move colleges or ac
complish anything else except make a
noise unless there is- something more
definite baek of 'the resolutions.
"As quickly as details are worked out
the public .will be railed into consulta
tion and with definite facts in hand it
will be easy to agree upon something
that will get us somewhere." Confer
ences have been held with officials of
the college and they are thoroughly fa
miliar with what is being done.”
Give Job to Best Man.
Philadelphia Record.
The prat-lice of promoting members of
Congressional committees by souiority
has resulted iu giving a disproportion
ate number of chairmanships to the
South when Democrats are ill control,
because the South is apt to keep its
in Congress longer than the
North and West do. There are persons
who think that the Democratic party is
injured by this ascendancy of the South
in a Democratic Congress. We are not
at all sure that this is the case. The
civil war has been over AS years, and
the Democratic party is more national
more widely distributed, thauf the Re
publican party. But there are obvious
objections to tlrf* rule of seniority, ex
pressed by Lord Fisher of the British
navy in his prediction that "one of
these days England will go to smash be
cause it was Buzzard’s turn.” \The wel
i fare of the country, and even the avol
i fare of a party, ought not to be risked
( because ft is somebody’s turn to take a
j position of power. The chairmanships
had better be gn-en to the ablest men,
whether the oldest men -or not.

to making their own and concocted

The natives called jt lioocfeenoo and
soon learned to make' it. It is
one quart asufficient to erase the

INEXPERIENCED DRIVER
RUNS OVER TWO WOMEN
Misses Mary Kinraid and Essie Glass.
Morganton, Seriously Hurt By Ford
Car.
Morganton, .Tune 14.—Misses Mary
Kincaid and Essie Glass, Morgan ton
young women, were seriously injured to
day when a Ford car driven by Miss
Buena Lnxton. of this county, ran
over them at a street crossing. -Miss
Lax ton was just learning to drive and
explained that when she saw the girls
she tried to put her foot on the -brake
and put in on the accelerator instead.
Fred Whisnant was with her in the
car. •
The injured girls were taken at ouee
to' the hospital. Miss Kincaid was
found to be the least injured of the two
and will recover. Miss Glass has in
ternal injuries, the extent of which is
not yet known, which may prove fatal.
Both are teachers. Miss Kincaid was a
n)ember of the faculty of the Morgan
ton grafted schools, and Miss Glass re
cently returned from Roanoke Rapids,
where she held a position the past
year. The former is the daughter of
McKinney Kincaid, a Morganton mer
chant and the latter of T. R. Glass, a
prominent citizen. ,
Environment in Which Murder as a
Art Flourishes.
Greensboro News.
A murder record higher than that
of any other nation in the civilized
world isn’t going to be changed mere
ly by enacting laws making it more dif
ficult to procure revolvers and ammuni
tion. Human life, as Hamlet rejected,
is at the mercy of “a bare bodkin”; and
the only tiling that will prevent its
wanton destruction is eradication of the
murders fashion. Murder must be made
distinctly bad form before there will be
much chance of stopping it.,
That js neither an attempt at satire,
nor a strained, humorless joke. It is
absolutely seriousness. Our trouble is
that 'murder is the fashionable, conven
tional "thing to do, under certain cir
cumstances; and of course it is useless
to undertake to punish, the man who
does it while public sentiment is with
him. It is vestigial survival of the code
duello stripped of even those flimsy
safe-guards with which custom sur
rounded the court of honor.
For instance, consider the case of the
North Carolinian who catches another
man in a compromising position with
his. wife —what does public opinion ex
pect of him? Is he permitted to put his
case in the hands of the law. and to de
pend upon the law to punish the inter
loper? Not if he has much regard for
his standing in the community. The
fashion, good form, commands him to
shoot, and shoot for beef. And the
dictates of fashion arc stronger than
any law. No jury will reach any other
verdict than one of acquittal in such a
case, not even if it is shown beyond dis
pute that the. woman was the rosponsi
b> party: and the killer receives popu
lar acclaim, instead of a prison sentence.
That is the extreme case, the one in
which it is admittedly impossible. to
couvict the slayer. But there are others
differing from it in degree, but not in
kind, in that the murderously inclined
individual is not held in any low esteem
on account of his thirst for blood. A
'brilliant illustration is the case of Bax
ter Shorn well, who at one tune or
another has fired on an incredibly large
number of his fellow ' citizens.
Fortunately. Baxter is a notoriously
bad marksman, so he has managed to
kill only one of liis targets: but it has
been due tq incapability, not to unwill
ingness.
But has Shemwell suffered social
ostracism account of his gunplay?
Not a bit of it. He is still a high roller.
With an unserved jail sentence hang
ing over him. he travels "about
he pleases, and none attempts to stop
him. The people of Davidson* will not
prod their county officials into action
looking to his apprehension: the people
of Buncombe county seem perfectly
willing to permit Shemwell to live
among them undisturbed;'' prominent
citizens of Guilford county note his ar
rival iii Greensboro on a business trip,
and never seem to tlxink of notifying the
police? If he were a bootlegger now, in
numerable hands would be raised
against him: he is only a nmnkiller,
and murder is mfieh better form than
bootlegging. A man cannot selL. liquor
and maintain his standing among
gentlemen; but. murder —oh. well, that s
the fashion, that is regarded as an of
fence not necessarily involving moral
turpitude.
Naturally iu that environment mur
der as a fine are flourishes. Why
shouldn’t it?
Leave Pincliot Without Funds for Work.
Harrisburg. l*a., June 14.— 1 The "wets’
in .the House of Representatives today
in the (‘losing hours of the Legislature
scored a victory over Governor Fin
ehont’s dry law enforcement program.
After the Senate had passed the blank
et appropriation bill for $82,950,290,
which it had amended to include the bat
tle-scarred $2.10,00 item for enforcement,
the "wets” in the lower house surged
forward and by a vote of 10< to So
killed the item.
The Senate then bowed to the "wet
sentiment of the lower house by with
drawing its $210,000 item, and as a ie
sult the state will have up money to
enforce- the Pinchot dry law unless the
governor can force an appropriation
through a special session.
Vienna Supports 73.000 Dogs.
((’orresjwmdence of Associated Press.)
Vienna, May 22.—From a census
which has just been taken in Vienna
it appears that the city has <3,000 dogs,
or twice as many as in peace time. * A t
first, sight it would seem remarkable
that so many people in this poverty
ridden city should be keeping dogs.
One of the principal reasons is the
increase iu the number of burglaries
and thefts, which has led many house
holds to keep dogs for protection.
Watchmen with police dogs are employ
ed to guard the great Central cetnetery
from which a number of bodies t have
been stolen.

THE NEW’ NORTH STATE.
University News Letter.
CShjce it was the Old-North State—a
sweet • memory, a piathetic lenient—' L the
Rip Van "Winkle State, alseep for two
full centuries.
Now it is the New North State —awake
at last, wide awake—refreshed aDd re
newed by her long sleep—vigorous, and
aflame with the early morning visions
of jmuth—boastful—blatant, if you”please
—chock-full of bla-bla and blurb, after
the manner-of a robust, two-fisted male
youngster in the pin-feather stage of de
velopment—conscious of his power and
immodestly boastful.
North Carolina is actually beginning
to believe in herself and to boast of her
self gracelessly; for all the world like
Atlanta. Chicago, the Atlanta of the
West, was The Constitution ’ headline
when Cleveland reached the Windy City
in his Swing Around the Circle in the
days of his presidency.
Atlanta has been the butt of many a
merry jest. She’s shameless in her boast
ing. Henry Grady began it and the
very kids keep it up. It is the spirit of
indestructible youth, and youth, wins.
Atlanta proves it. California proves it.
And in particular Los Angeles.
Los Angeles bonds herself a hundred
dollars per inhabitant, spends thirty mil
lions on "sa. water-bupply system, afud
twelve millions more' on a man-made har
bor twelve miles away. She stands right
up and blows about it, pictures it in the
magazines the world around, and she
doubles her population and quadruples
,her wealth in a single decade.
North Carolina multiplies her public
school fund twenty times over in twen
ty years, spends forty-two million dol
lars in two years on public school build
ings, equipment and support, one hundred
and twenty-two millions of federal,
state and local money on public high
ways, and pays another one hundred and
twenty-two millions of taxes into the
federal treasury on incomes, profits, es
tates and the like in a single year.
But sh-h-h ! Nobody must mention it!
It’s immodest to say a word about it!
North Carolina begins—barely begins—
to cash in the immense assets that lie
in her soils and seasons, forests and
water-falls, mines and factories and just"
as she begins, her fervor is chilled by
the charge that she is immodei‘ate and
unabashed in her boasting.
It was a Californian who said at
Long Beach in 1921, North Carolina has
got California beat a mile, and doesn’t
know it.
But North Carolina does know it in
1923 and she means to let the world know
it.
It.has taken her two centuries to de
velop gumption, grace and grit enough to
lay down the foundations of a great
commonwealth in public education,
health, and public highways. And'
has the courage of her convictions.
She does not mean to hide her light
under a bushel measure but to set it on
a candlestick right out in ‘the open for
all the tvorld to see.
The people of North Carolina know —
at least they have been told often enough
to know—that we are building good roads
faster than any other state in the Union,
Pennsylvania alone excepted; but also
that our improved highways do not yet
reach the total mileage of good roads in
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York.
New Jersey, Pennsylvania or California.
And they know, too, that the twenty
million dollars we are spending on pub
lic schools this yedr is four times the
sum we were spepdiug for this purpose
ten years" ago: but also that we .are still
for behind the Middle Western states
in public school support. And that in
legislative appropriations for college cul
ture, thirty-five states make a better
showing than North Carolina. The Uni
versity News Letter exhibited the facts
away back yonder iu July. 1922.
The State has not lost her sense of
perspective. She is not swashbucklering,
but she is doing great things of late
and she’s proud of them. She cau dis
play her wares, but she need not do it
like Simple Simon of Mother Goose fame.
She need not be provincial and parochial
•—which are polite terms for ignorance
of what is happening in the big world be
yond her borders.
So here’s tp the New North State. The
old-age son of Sarah the barren. The
bottle-fetl boy brought up by Murphey

Ottawa, June 15.—The Canadian
