Bible Thought For The Day ★ E\ EK\\l>A\ : —This is the day which ; the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and ' if** glad in it. —Psalm 11N:24. j SOUNDS LIKE MESSAGE FROM! RUSSIA. . It seems that the people 6f Minnesota have chosen h radical of the truest, type I to represent them in the Senate in the ■ person of Mangus Johnson. The Sena tor-elect has given ,a statement the press. and in it he preacher revolt, revo lution and resort to arms. ■* He makes of several, facts that cannot be overlooked, but at the same time lie is showing a . bad» spirit whey he preaches revolution, or even suggests that such ' a thing is possible. And Senator-elect Johnson shows an other weak point. He says ‘‘if condi tions confronting the laboring man and the farmer are not changed,*’ revolution j is possible, and thru lie very frankly ad mits that he does not know a solution of the problem. That* is the trouble 1 with many people. They are always go ing around finding fault wfith condi tions and predicting somqfhing terrible for the country, and then when pressed they admit they are more or less guess ing by stating that thej* are talking from observation. The new Senator declares “many think the same thing that happened in Russia cannot happen to this country, but don't fool yourself. It could happen here be fore you knew what was going on. The Czar had a big army but he couldn’t stop a revolution. We haven't any army so what could our government do if there were a nation-wide revolution? - It could not do a thfng.” The United States government might not be able' to do anything if a revolu tion were started in the United States, but the people could do something. This man from Minnesota may be reflecting the spirit of his people when lie talks of revolts but he is not the true spirit of America. The revolution in Russia was possible not because of the weakness of the Czar and his army, but because of the weakness of the public generally. The people did not rally to the Czar. But the greater portion of the citizenship of the United States would stick to the government should anything of a revolutionary nature be started, and Senator-elect Johnson is not going to fool anybody with his radical doctrine except those people who want to be fooled. } WILSON SPEAKS. There are many people who did not side politically with Woodrow Wilson, but there are few who do not recognize in him a man of keen intellect, a man who knows of what he is talking. There fore liis article iu the Atlantic Monthly for August on “The Road Rway From Revolution" will be read with interest by persons in every part of the world, and of every political faith. “Our civilization cannot survive ma terially unless it bo redeemed spiritual ly." This, lie says, "is the final chal lenge to our Churches, to our political organization and to our capitalists—to every one who fears God or loves his country.” Iu other words. Mr. Wilson is preach ing against selfishness. And he gets at the loot of the thing when he tries to catch the public eye through means of money. American people, he charges, are more iut» rested iu making money than helping the Vest of the world,’ and so lie warns that 'f we would continue as a prosperous nation, we must take great er and deeper interest in the well-being of our neighbors. Mr. Wilson speaks not as a radical, but as a man of rare judgment, a man of conservative disposition, and a mau who has made a deep study of present day conditions. We would do well to heed his warning. HAVING GOOD RESULT. According to figures made public by W. M. Cowhig, general superintendent of transportation of the Southern lines east, during the first 20 days of the op : eration of the new Carolina "stop, listen” law, net one grade crossing accident oc curred on tfie 1,232 miles of railroad op* erated in the State by the Southern Rail* way. 1 ; ; Reports naade public by Mr. Cowhig showed that during the first 20 days of last June there were five crossing aeci* dents, resulting in two deaths and injur ies to three others. During the first 20 days of July last year there were two crossing accidents, in which two wer£ injured, none killed. In various parts of tlie State, it is stated, many arrests have been made for violation of this new law, and it is no ticeable how many people comply with the law now, even in remote places. There is still some confusion as to the application of the law under certain cir cumstances. such as crossings where no signboards have been erected and where no watchman can be seen, hut in most instances, according to all available in formation and records, the law generally is being complied with by tourists and other auto drivers in the State. ROCKEFELLER’S MISTAKE. While John D. Rockefeller is nothing but human. even if immensely rich, there are perhaps many people who feel that the oil magnate never made a very serious- mistake. It is but human to err, to be sure; but Mr. Rockefeller has been so unusually successful as a business man that we are sure there are thou sands of people who feel that he must have never made a serious mistake. But lie did. ami we have his own word for it, and there are many people making the same mistake today. "Next to doing a thing right,” Mr. Rockefeller says, “the most important factor iu the success of any business is the telling of people what you are doing. My one regret is that I did not learn this fundamental of success earlier in life.” While these are many men who still try to keep the public generally from knowing what they are doing, the num ber is decreasing yearly. People are be ginning to learn that the way to estab lish confident* is by being perfectly frank. Steadily and rapidly is the print ed wrrjl, prime disseminator of infor mation. increasing the faith of man in mankind and improving Jjfis £,oucoition in the world. ■ >• ’ > THIRD PARTY THREATS. Certain Republican leaderfc have ex pressed the belief that there will be a third party in the next national election. Senator Moses is one of the exponents of this belief, and he declares the slogan of the new party will be "Higher Wheat” and that Henry Ford will be its candidate for the Presidency. The third party is not an impossibil ity by any means, and Mr. Ford may head its ticket, but we agree with The Charlotte News in the opinion that the slogan adopted by Senator Moses will not be an impressive one. The slump in wheat prices has caused much uneasi mss and dissatisfaction in tiic great wheat growing belts of the country, but the sentiment of that particular part of o untry would hardly he powerful trough to affect seriously the vote i;. any other part of the country. The News notes that “while the westetn farmers are in great distress at this time b-cause the bottom has dropped out <f the wheat market, it is unthinkable that a fiactional percentage of the farmers of America huddled iu only a fractional area of the whole country, could be come powerful enough over nig»t to launch a third party. The agr irian re volt is not confined exclusively to the West, hut as extensive as it is as all ii elusive, it does not appear to he for midable enough to constitute the basis for a successful third party. It is the more general discontent that is pervas ive among the voters, farmers, profes sional men. laborers, business men and others that the old parties need to be alarmed overVind not some isolated con dition among some given classes of the people. The truth of the business >s that the whole country seems to be seething with political restlessness and in the midst of a species *of discontent that may he the forerunner of the birth of an entirely new and temporarily powerful organization, one that will last uutil the people recover from their un certainties and are ready to re-establish themselves upon the former fundamen tals.” The dissatisfaction over present con ditions is certainly not characteristic of any one section of the country. The sentiment of tne people of the West lia* been given particular attention by two recent elections, in which the feeling of unrest was plainly felt. In the Minne sota election of a few days ago when the regular Republican candidate was de feated by a Farmer-Labor candidate, the chairman of the Republican State com mittee was frank enough to declare that his candidate last because the people are dissatisfied with President Harding. This same feeling eau be found iu every part of the country. The, people want something different, but they do uot know just what they want. . As The News states, they may follow some temporar ily powerful organization until the old parties offer something more nearly like the people want than is offered now. When Governor Lee M. Russell was sued recently by a young woman who preferred serious charges against him, he had the sympathy of the general public, we believe. But now again serious charges are preferred against him. infor mally to be sure, and he is not receiving sjjch support as he received An the other case. 3 As. liis ; time- of f he takes up"*the .containpjihle practice of ' freeing-all-prisoners in the., prise r on. He opens ‘the doors of the pehiten : | tipry and turns loose upon the people of ■ jJiis State who elected, him in good faith, ' t many of the criminals they hail sent ■ there for their protection. Such action ■ should nevfr bo taken, we think, and k » . — T ’ power to take* such action should not be given to one man. There are many instances, to be sure, when the Chief Ex ecutive of a State exercises in tlie high est form the powers given him, but th&e arc other instances when Governors take advantage of the law, and create acts that are harmful to his State. There should be some way to safeguard the ver dicts of (he courts. Honest Governors would welcome it, and those who are not honest need it. Final and complete plans are being made now for the Ma d e-j n -Ca rolin as Ex position, which will be held this year in Charlotte from September 24th to October 6th. The exposition this year promises to be bigger and better than either of the two previously held, and space contracts already signed show that more exhibits will be offered this year than in the past. The two biggest days of the. exposition will he ‘South Caro lina Day” on September 26th and “North Carolina hay” on October 2nd, and in addition othbr special days will he set aside for special features. J. C. Pat ton has been elected secretary and gen eral manager of the exposition for this year, and J. C. Robinson will be field manager. These two men are now giv ing all of their time to affairs pertaining to the success of the exposition. CABARI’S FARMER GlvFn PRAISE IN FARM PAPER Berkshire Herd of A. H. Litaker Gets Prominent Publicity in the Southern Berkshire News. A special correspondent of The South ern Berkshire News, published at Pine hurst. N. <\, has the following to say about a visit to the farm of Mr. A. 11. Litaker, of this county: The her herd we had the pleasure of visiting was that of Mr. A. 11. Litak er at Concord, N. C. For a long time we have been promising ourselves that we would visit Mr. Litaker and lo*k over his herd. We knew that he had a good herd because we had seen some mighty good Berkshires from there but we must admit that we were surprised at what we saw. In the first place it would be hard to select a more ideal spot for a hog breeding plant than the Litaker farm, about five miles from Concord. If there is a level acre on the farm we failed to observe it as it is gently rolling from one end of the 200 acres to the other and no more ideal drainage could he imagined. "N cry little of the farm is in cultivated crops, something like; twenty a,cres of com that looked like it might turn off fifty bushels to the acre, and the balance of the entire farm, except the “Hog Town” as Mr. Litaker calls it. is cut into about ten to twenty acre pastures and every one of them is down to a good stand of grass or clover. If there was a wash or gully ou the entire place we failed to find it. A good crop of hay is cut from most of these meadows and the Jerseys, for Mr. Litaker has one of the ebst little herds of Jerseys we.have seen in a long time, and the Berk shires make good use of the pasture. We found the sow herd to number about eighteen breeding sows of the best blood lines but we did not find but a few pigs over weaning age as the de mand for spring pigs has cleaned out the herd with the exception of a few that are being retained for the breeding herd and some young pigs that are only waiting to he weaned band shipped. Tlie herd is headed by a son of Reay J’ype and a young boar of Bowsher breeding is coming on and is being used a little this spring. One thing we_saw that was a source of real regret was a young herd of pigs sired by a Penshurst boar named Big Jack and out of a sow purchased from Penshurst Farm. We simply can't these off our mind and the source of our regret is that they were farrowed in February and will not be eligible to show in the Under Six Months class this fall for they certainly would make somebody stand up and take no tice. We asked Mr. Litaker to price the ooar**ln this young herd hut lie wisely shook his head and said that he needed him iu his übsiness and we don't blame him a bit. Another pig that was outstanding was a November gilt, of Mr. Litaker's own breeding that was just about right in every way. This one also stays in the breeding herd and right here we want to say that if every breeder would select a few of his best young animals and retain them for the breeding herd regardless of the price he was offered that we would have more high class breeding herds and the breed would advance iu two years as much as it has advanced in ten. It would be almost impossible to find a more ideal spot for a “Hog Town” than Mr. Litaker has selected for his sow and litter lots as every lot is on the side of a hill, is well set in some permanent grass or clover and is per fectly drained. No mud holes in these lots and no bare spots and the sows were out eating grass exactly like the j:ows and liow they did seem to enjoy it. With all this good pasture Mr. Link er's feed bilf is not the nightmare that a feed bill is to some breeders as he feeds only enough grain to balance the green feeds and his hogs- are doing well on this ration. Mr. Litaker has doubtless been years iu building up his farm and he is still at it but lie is doing it with practically, no extra labor and he is making it pay its own way a> he goes along. We know of no other way in mhich tliis can he done and if any farmer doubts that it is not practical to operate a farm iu jthe south without cotton, a lot of extra liiThds, and a lot of cultivation we desire them to pay Mr. Litaker a visit: Chiropractors Meet. The Salisbury District of the North Carolina Chiropractors Association held Hs regular monthly session on Saturday evening with Dr. H. A. Stirewalt at China Grove. Members from Salisbury, Statesville, Mooresville. Spencer. Albe marle, Lexington and Concord, all the towns in the district, were present. Dr. J. A. Shauers, of Concord, atteuded the meeting.*; The next meeting will be held on ■Saturday:‘e\> r with Dr. T. C. Splude. at Magnetism was known 3.000 years ago.

Dayton, Ohio, July 25i. —The first i flight -by man in an air-propelled vehicle, 1 operated by foot power of the pilot only, is an accomplished fact, it was announc ed at McCook Army Ait* Field here to day. \ • '■*, W. F. Gerhardt, aeronautical engineer at McCook Feld, is the inventor of the contrivance, which he terms a scientific curiosity, and iu which contrivance he made the first successful tiights iu .the presence of witnesses early yesterday morning. While the flights which were made with the new machine were not sensa tional. the inventor claims that the prin ciples involved can be successfully, incor porated in a machine capable of com paratively great heights and speed. f In the longest flight made with the machine, operated b.v and supplied with the pilot’s own power, it rose about three inches from the ground and flew approx imately 20 feet, which the inventor de clares was long enough to insure steady flight. “This machine was not intended to fly around the sky, but merely to make the kind of flight it did, to prove scientifical ly the possibility of human flight,” the inventor said. The “eycleplane” has seven lifting wings, one mounted above the ofher by means of a connecting strut three feet high: each wing is approximately two feet in width and three inches thick. A propeller made of light wood is oper ated by the pilot by means of a chain and pedal arrangement, much after the manner of a bicycle. In recent tests the “eycleplane” was given its initial start forward b.v means of a tow line. After the machine gets under way, the pilot starts pedaling, and when the propeller revolves at a suffi cient speed the machine lifts gradually from the ground and mov.es forward. The regular stabilizer, rudder and landing gear is used ou the “eycleplane." There are no ailerons on the machine; as it obtains its lifting power by the pecu liar placement of the lower*wing.. The fuselage of the “eycleplane" is ap proximately 20 feet long and tlie top wing stands about 30 feet from the floor. No data on its weight were avail able. “No extravagant claims are made for the machine," Lieut. Gerhardt said, "hut I know that there are .possibilities of making greater reductions in the power where flight can be sustained at only required to fly. Perhaps to a point slightly above a nominal power output by human beings." PREDICTS AIR ROUTES COVERING GREATER PART OF THE WORLD Gen. Williamson Thinks North Ameri can Continent Will Soon Be Linked Up With Great Britain. London, July 25. —A most interesting and instructive paper was read before the International Air Congress, recent ly in session in London, by Brigadier- General F. H. Williamson, director of postal services* of the British govern ment. General Williamson predicted that the United States. Canada, rhe West Indies and other parts of the North American continent would soon he linked up by air with Great Rritaiu. Connecting air lines would also run to Egypt, India, The Straits Settlements, Australia, New Zealand, and Africa. "It is not rash to predict." said he. "that the next gen eration will see its railways and its steamships supplemented by a complete system of communication by air." General Williamson said the Cairo- Bagdad air marl service, now in opera tion. saved 20 days over the old land route which ran via Bombay. Karachi and the Persian Gulf. The mail planes covered the 850 miles in a single day. Discussing the future of mail trans part by air, the speaker said that the con veyance of tlr'e whole of the mails by air was an unlikely development unless and until there is a very marked change in the cost of air transport, and in the financial limitations under which postal services are compelled to work, limita tions which require some sort of propor tion between the postage charged and the cost of transport. “Moreover," ~the general added, “an essential condition of mail service is regularity under all conditions, in all weathers, and at all tiines of the year. It is commonly assumed that if a. meth od of transporting mails can be devised which is considerably more rapid, even if more expensive, than anything already in existence, there is an immediate pub lic demand that it be used for the car riage of mails. There is, of course, some truth iu this; but the experience of the post office indicates that the im portance attached to the mere speed of mail communication can easily be ex aggerated. * “It is probable, therefore, that for a long time to come air mails must he limited to urgent correspondence on which a special fee is charged, and that such correspondence will only be a rel atively small fraction of the total mail. Tlie actual volume of air mail carried will depend on three factors, regularity, gain in time, and cost of conveyance: that is. exactly the same conditions as those on which the development of pas senger and goods traffic will depend, and to which the technical development of commercial aviation must be directed.” So Long.

Weisel, wealthy widow, of No. 270 Park Avenue, sailed today ou the France, to remain abroad “until.” she said, “the United States enacts some sane laws which will preserve the rights of its subjects, rather than taking them away.” Not the least of the objectionabe laws, according to Mrs. Weisel. was the A’ol stead act.

Washington. July 26- —Continued activity in wholesale retail trading with corresponding heavy freight, move ment featured the commercial situation during .Tune and the first hnlf of July, according to a review issued today by the federal reserve board. Production declined in June, ‘the report said, but employment maintained the high levejl • set in May. with Wholesale prices registering further decreases. Building materials led the list of commodities influenced by declining prices with a net cut of 4 per cent, the list comprising all basic commodities except house furnishings. Among farm products, wheat, and sugar derlined in July, while corn and ..hides advanced. The board’s index of production in basic industries, which makes allow ances for seasonal variations, was 4 percent lower in June than in May standing "at about the level of the later winter.” according to the review, which added /hat “mill consumption of cotton, output of steel ingots and sugar meltings showed particularly large i’e- J duet ions. The aggregate value of build ing permits and construction contracts in June also was said to show a greater decline “than is usual at that season.” Indices compiled by the commerce de partment to reveal ’business conditions show a slowing down during recent weeks as compared with conditions of the early spring, but a busier condi tion notwithstanding than was exhibit ed at the same time last year.’ Accord ing to an announcement today, the in dex of unfilled orders for basic com modities at the end of June was 77. while, in May it was 87. and in June 1922. it was 66. The index is based on conditions during 1920 as 100. FATHER AND SON WEEK TO BE HELD IN NOVEMBER To Be Changed So as to Cepter Around Armistice Day. November 11th. New York, July 25. —A change in tin dates of National Father and Son Week, so as to have the observance center each j year around Armistice Day, is endorsed by President Harding in a letter received at the New York offices of the Interna tional Committee, Y. M. C. A., which originated the observance in 1917 and whose hoys’ work committee continues to lead its promotion. 'flie change from the week of Lin coln’s birthday, used for the purpose of the observance until this year, has been made in response to the desire of national and international Sunday school organizations. The President’s letter follows: “My attention lias been called to the National Father and Son Movement, which is to be launched during National Father and Son Week. November 11-18. It is a great pleasure for me to commend this movement, which Iffis as its objec tive to draw together in a more intimate way the fathers and sons of America, and to strengthen and develop this re lationship. “The success of this movement dur ing the past years has won for it a distinct place. Since the movement has become world-wide in character, it is most fitting that it center around the (lute of world-wide significance. Armis tice Day. Surely, the coming genera tion will need to he constantly reminded of their obligation to help maintain the lienee of the wodd, for which millions of fathers and sons have died in past yea r. “It is hoped that all individuals as well as constructive agencies, interested in the boy life of our nation, will give this week due consideration and recog nition by bringing together fathers and sons in schools, churches, clubs and other places, and assisting the boys of the community to their own inherent right of companionship with their fathers.” NEW YORK GUNMAN ENDS LIFE OF MAN WHO TALKED TOO MUCH Crapshooter Who Used Loaded Dice is Shot Down While Sitting at Table in Restaurant.

THE TIMES, Concord, N. C. WOULD COST MILLION TO REMOVE LENOIR COLLEGE Trustee ami Member of legisla ture. Says Rumors Are Without Foundation*. Gastonia. July 26.—That it would take a million dollars to move Lenoir college from Hickory is the opinion of W. A- Deaton, one of the trustees and member of the North Carolina legisla ture from Catawba county, who de plores the removal talk that has been started among the friends of tin* col lege. I>r. Deaton's remarks as quoted in /The Hickory Record are as absolutely follows: ‘‘There's absolutely nothing in these foolish rumors about the removal of Lenoir college.” declared Dr. W. A. Deatjbn, Catawba county representative in the legislature and a member of the board of trustees. “Nothing official has ever come before the hoard of directors or the trustees, and all these rumors can possibly do is to injure the institution if they are not stopped.” The gossip removal was started by one or two men. Dr. Deaton said today, and he said they had no realization of the seriousness of the thing they had advocated. Lenoir college, lie said, is the only standard Christian college in this end of the state. It is advantageously located and educators througout the state who have the interest of the college a tlieart —and other educators are interested in Lenoir college—agree that to remove this institution wduld give it a setback from which it would be years in re covering. Dr, Deaton wants this foolish business to cease —unless those who are talking are prepared to raise at least one million dollars. Nothing less would ever get official consideration from the board- JOHNSON DENIES THAT HE SAID IIE WOULD BE WINNER Did Not Tell Ambassador Harvey Tliat He Would Be Elected President If Given Nomination. New York. July 27.—Senator Hiram Johnson, of California, with an emphat ic denial today took cognizance of a story appearing in certain New Y'ork pa pers quoting George Harvey, American ambassador to the Court of St. James, as stating Mr. Johnson had predicted for himself election by a ladnslide if he ob tained the Republican nomination for President. Mr. Harvey, who received his appoint ment front President Harding, to whose views on the \vorld court Mr. Johnson took sharp exception in his first public utterance since returning from Europe, attending~the meeting here Wednesday night at which the Senator outlined his views on America's foreign policy. At tliat time Mr. Harvey, replying to ques tions by newspaper men said: “Yes. I have nothing to say.” The story published' today quoted Mr. Harvey as saying at Long Branch. N. J., that Mr. Johnson would not receive the Republican nomination in 1924. and that he thought Mr. Johnson a little previous in his prediction of a landslide. The ambassador was quoted as saying Mr. Johnson had made the prediction in tlie course of a conversation with him. Harvey Corrects Statements. Long Branch, X. J.. July 27. —Col. George Harvey. United States ambassa dor to the Court of St. James, today cor rected statements regarding the presi dential prospects for 1924 attributed to him in certain New York papers, and asserted that when he had spoken of a landslide he was referring to the chances of Henry Ford and not those of Sena tor Hiram Johnson.
