According to statistics compiled by ex perts.. education ms wojrjh aR it costs'arid then some for the effect it has bn crime. All available figures show that the great percentage of prisoners in the jails in the United States are illiterates. They are people who have never learned the fundamentals of an cducatiou, and .as they hhy.e, not been taught these funda mentals ’ they likewise have not been taught the finer things of life that one learns along with book knowledge. In speaking of a recent case in its city. The Chester Reporter says : “D. Coburn Taylor convicted of mur der at Camden, swore upon the stand that he never went to school a day in his life. Education does not always keep a man from being a crook, but many -and many a case such as Taylor’s has been averted by even a little of the school room. South Carolina’s high illiteracy percentage and astounding crime rate are indisolubly connected. When the facts and figures pertaining to length of term, expenditure per pupils, etc., read the same in South Caioliua as in States that have forged farther along in educational matters, there'll not be so much crime news in the papers, or so much crime to be dealt with in the courts.' There’s a lot of truth in that. All fig ures prove it. About two years ago the South Carolina Mental Hygiene Survey staff investigate the life histories of 310 individuals confined in the State peniten tiary. Os these, 134 were colored and 116 white. The following facts were developed from the inquiry: One hundred and ttyree. or 33.2 per cent, of the total number, had never gone to school and were illiterate; Thirty-five, or 11.3 per qept.., never got farther than the first grade in the public schools: Twenty-eight, or 9 per cent, never got farther'“Than the second grade; Twenty-nine, or 9.4 per cent., never got farther than the third grade; i Twenty-five, or 8.1 per cent., never got farther than the fourth grade; Sixty-three, of 20.3 per cent., got as far as the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades. Fifteen reached high schohol; Ten, or 3.2 per cent., received some college education. While these figures establish in a firm way the close relationship between il literacy and crime, they do not. of course, prove or even tend to prove that all il literates are criminals. Some of our best citizens are illiterates. Despite their educational handicaps, many of them are among our most moral and law-abiding citizens. But this fact does not lessen any the significance that where we find the greatest amount of illiteracy, we find the greatest amount of crime. MILK AND PROHIBITION. Everyone knows that milk is a fine diet. In some instances milk is the only practical diet when a person is suffering with certain diseases, and we have learn ed from experience that milk is one of the most nourishing of all diets. For that reason it is interesting to note that increase in milk consumption since the advent of prohibition. Since 11*17. the last Wet year, con sumption of milk in the United States has increased in about the proportion of 84 to 102, according to experts. In 1917 84.612.01*0.000 pounds were used, and during last year 102.502.221,000 were used. Much of this increase is due-to the fact that in many families children who formerly could not get milk because the monev weut for beer and liquor, ai'e be ing given been an- meftttsd of milk at the soda fountains and buttermilk has increased iu popularity very much with the coming of prohibition. The greatest increase in milk con sumption is noted" in cities. 9ji there i* imported a 17 per cent, gam m 306 cit ies m America *mc* »T dustrial centers it is noted that work men now have a pint or quart of milk besides their lunch boxes. Formerly they 1 had beer or wine. — LIBRARY STATICTICS. The latest Issue of the North Carolina Library Bulletin carries interesting iu formation relative to the work of the libraries in the State during the past year. The report gives the circulation of all of the libraries iu the State and shows that the Concord library ranks with libraries in cities of much larger size. In fact the local library did more than that. It circulated more books than many cities much larger than Concord, and this in spite of the fact that the li brary was closed two weeks for repairs. Asheville has the distinction pf lead-, iug the State iu circulation. During last year iu the mountain metropolis 11,804 books were borrowed. Durham came next with 79.467 and Winston-Salem was third with 77.841. Charlotte’s library during the year circulated 72,314 books for fourth place and Raleigh came next with 67,000, then Greensboro with 04.- 686. And Concord ranks next to Greens boro, exceeding such cities as Wilming ton, Gastonia, Rocky Mount. High Point and Salisbury, which boast of a greater population. The News aud Observer in discussing the figures says in part: “Another interesting guess is as to what town or city comes next (after Greensboro). No it isn’t Wilmington. The New Hanover capital does not read extensively. Next below Greensboro is Concord with 43,257 volumes circulated during the year and the library closed for repairs for two weeks. An excellent record for Concord " The Wilmington library loaned 29.430 volumes during the yeai*. Gastonia loan ed 28.177 books. Hickory made a good showing for its size, loaning 24.537 books in nine months. Rocky Mount loaned 24,690: Hendersonville. 21.847: Golds boro. 18.535: Burlington. 18.168: New Bern 15,210: Rockingham 12.520. There are three colored libraries, one each at Charlotte. Durham and Laurin burg. and the one at Charlotte loaned out the relatively large number of 42.- 594 books last year. ; While we have not seen the compari son made, we believe that Concord’s cir culation will ,gjy,e her the greatest circu lation per inhabitant of any city in the State. We believe also that her circu lation .will give her the record for the number of times each book was eireulat- ! ed.’ And the Concord library is being supported on less than $3,009 a year. ■ y~' DENTAL CLINIC FOR COLORED CHILDREN. Dr. S. E. Buchanan, county health of ficer. has made arrangements to have a dental clinic for colored children con ducted iu this county. The clinic will begin on August 2nd. and parents of col ored children, as well as community lead ers. should do everything possible to get the children to be examined. Children between 6 and 13 years of age will be examined during the clinic, and the examination and any work done, will be free'-of charge. The clinic will be conducted by a dentist sent out by the State Board of Health, and he is an expert iu his work. He will make the examinations in many of the most prom inent negro schools in the county, or iu other buildings located in community centers, and the schedule has been ar ranged with the view of reaching the greater number of children. Parents should not make the mistake of allow ing their children to remain away from the clinic. The complete schedule for the clinic is carried in this paper, and persons in terested should clip it and keep it for reference. The work clone on the' teeth of the children will mean much to them, and in many instances may mean the ac tual saving of life in the end. CAUTION THROWN TO WIND. It is almost impossible to read a news paper now without seeing where some one was killed in an auto accident. And it is very noticeable that Monday papers . carry more accident reports than any other paper, because there are more peo ple riding on Sunday than any other day. And while Sunday accidents have become so common that. they create lit tle unusual interest, the crop of deaths from accidents last Sunday was so great that the reports were very noticeable. The news columns tell of thirty-five persons losing their lives in automobile accidents that day, and iu addition many others were injured. To make it more startling, all of the accidents were at railroad crossings, and everyone of them could have been avoided if proper pre caution had been taken. It is only reas onable to suppose that other accidents which were not reported to the newspa pers occurred, and the death total for the day must have easily reached the 40 mark. And the accidents occurred iu ev ery part of the country, showing that carelessness and disregard for safety are universal traits. During the past several % years every kind of publicity device has been used to warn the people against carelessness. Preachers have warned them from the pulpits; newspapers have carried eol unjns of articles: railroad companies have spent thousands of dollars issuing warnings: and iu North Carolina a law was passed designed to make people more careful. If the sermon preached iu the papers Monday had no effect, then the i people are hopeless. ; , THE BUSIEST INDUSTRY. Fqrbes Magazine raises an interesting question when it asks “What is the bus iest indust! y?” That publication pro -1 ceeds to answer the tjuestiou as follows: j The turning out of over, two and one thalf million ears and trucks a yeat? The producing of 40,000,000 tons of pig iron and the manufacturing of the greatest! or three billion dollars a year? The kill-1 ing and packing of the millions of food animals consumed every year by Ameri cans and by millions of foreigners who eat American meats? No. guess again. Wrong this time too. The busiest industry in America is law-making. Think of it: fully 50,000 bills dealing with business have been introduced in state legislatures in the last twelve months, and it ,is figured that new state laws will be passed at the rate of 1,000 a month all through 1923. Then, in the last five Congresses 90.000 bills for new have have been introduced and upwards of 2,400 have been passed. America is the laud of mass produc tion. I’hfyiably our lawmakers have caught the mass production mania. In the case of industry, some regard is had to quality. In the case of our lawmak ers, quantity, judging by results, has been their sole aim. It is time for the American people to beseech every lawmaker in the land: Physician heal thyself. Everybody thinks lie is capable of passing laws. That’s the trouble. What we need is enforcement of many We al ready have and repeal of many others. ANXIOUS ABOUT THE PRESIDENT. The “soulid South’’ as well as the home town of the President, is anxious about Mr. Harding's condition. Regardless of the political faith of a President of the United States, everyone feels almost a personal interest in his well-being, and the illness of Mr. Harding has been prominent in the thoughts of everyone iu the United States since announcement was made that his condition was “grave." Latest news from the bedside of the President indicates that his condition is much better. He has the hopes and prayers of the nation in his fight for his life. | BIG SCREEN REUNION IN CAST OF ETERNAL FLAME Two Principals and Cameraman Meet For First Time Since Old Reliance i Days. The assembling of the notable cast J supporting Miss Norma Talmadge in her all costume picture, “The Eternal Flame." taken from Honore Balzac's "The Duchess de Lftngeais." marked sev eral reunions of friends and coworkers. Take, for instance, the* meeting be tween Irving Cummings, Rosemary Theby aud Tony Gaudio, who were to gether iu the days of the Old Reliance Company. Then they were making two reelers. Since then they have each added their considerable contribution toward the growth of considerable contribution to ward the growth of motion picture's. Mr. Cummings has not only had stage training under brilliant stars but his picture successes have been many. Re cently his activities have centered about his’ own company as production manager of which he has been -engaged in mak ing Westerns. Miss Theby has/ played in a wide range of pictures, among them “The Great Love" and “A Splendid Hazard." ■ The third member of the reunited trio ’• is Tony Gaudio, whose work at the 1 camera has proved that he, too. like his countrymen, has the artist's unfailing eye for' pictures. i It is the first time the three have met < .since the Old Reliance days and now. ' while Miss Theby and Mr. Cummings : move through the stately pattern of the ' nineteenth century court lif<\ instead of two reel thrillers of those former clays. 1 the only point of similarity is that Tony Gaudio officiated as cameraman on both '< occasions. 1 "The Eternal Flame,” wis is declared i to be Norma Talmadge’s greatest photo- I dramatic achievement, and the screen 1 sensation of the present season, will be : shown at the Pastime Theatre today and, tomorrow.

The malady has been termed by those living in sections where it appeal’s as I “devil’s grippe." It is similar to the malady which broke out in 1896. it is 1 said. So far a>4 doctors have been able 1 to determine it is not a gastric* or digestive disturbance hut is considered : by some as a new type of influenza. No Mileage Book Yet. Charlotte Observer. The big railroads of the country ap pear to have won out on the mileage book proposition. The traveling men asked the court to enforces the orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission for an interchaugcale mileage book at a 20 per cent, discount. The Federal Dis trict Court in Massachusetts has en- ; joined the Commission from enforcing the ruling, holding with the railroads that such sSle would deprive them of a reasonable return cm trausiiortation and seriously impair their revenues. The Government has gone to the Supreme Court with an appeal, but so far. the railroads has the best of the situation. > * China to Seize Lands Ceded tq ; Kussja. ! ' Harbin.

Garrett Fire at the Minister. LARKIN GARRETT ASSAULTED PIERCE Witness Also Stated That He Did Not See Pierce Fire on the Defendants in the Case. Cumberland Sourthouse. Va.. Aug. I. Shad R. Wilson, an eye-witness, testi fied at the trial of L. C. Garrett this morning that when lie was attracted to the Pierce home by the screaming of women on the day Rev. E. S. Pierce was shot to death he found Larkin C. Gar rett sitting on the* minister and beating him in the face, while Robert O. Garrett stood by with a pistol in his hand. The witness also testified he saw Rob ert (). Garret fire several shots into the minister's body both before* and after lie fell to the ground. He saw no other shots fired. The witness is a carpen ter and was working on a building near the Pierce home when the trouble start ed. In telling his story the witness was positive he did not see Mr. Pierce shoot R. O. Garret in the back. The witness said lie would not swear ■that Pierce did not fire, but that he* did not see him fire, and so far as he knew R. (). Garrett fired first. In replay to a question from the bench he made the I fiat statement that It. <). Garrett tired the first shot. There were many objec tions by state’s attorneys to the line of questioning by tin* defense and in most of these they were sustained. The defense sought to show that Mr. Godsoy and Ijis employer were bitter po litical enemies of tin* Garretts, but were overruled on many of their questions. The witness denied he had contributed to the prosecution fund and did not know his employer had. The most vivid story of the tragedy was given by Mrs. B. F. Hendricks, the first woman witness to appear on the stand. She told an uninterrupted story of the tight and footing and made the* unqualified statement that R. O. Garrett fired the first shot, anil that Pierce did not even raise his hand after he ob tained the shot gun. Nashville to Have Big Golf Match. Nashville.

Fifteen-Months-Old Bal>y is Drowned in a Wash Tub. Albemarle News-Herald. One of the most deplorable’ accidents that lias happened in Stanly county for some months was that in the early af ternoon yesterday when little Ruby, the fifteen-111011 tlis-olcl daughter of Mr. aud Mrs. G. B. Bowers, of the Palestine section, fell into a wash tub and was drowned. Just how the child happened to fall into the tub is not known, as it seems there was no one nearby at the time. It is said that there .was only about two or three inches of water iu it at the time of the accident. The child, it is thought, wns playing in the water when in some way it lost its bal ance and fell headforemost into the water and was unable to get out with out help. When found it was dead, and all efforts of resuscitation were in vain. The funeral services will be held today at Friendship Church, IMyler, and will be conducted by the pastor.

Washington. D. 0., Aug. 1. —Highway grade crossing accidents continue to in crease. according Jo a statement issued by the Bureau of Public Roads of the United States Department of Agricul ture. The Interstate Commerce Commis sion, it is stated, reports that in the final quarter of 1922, 517 persons were killed and 1710 injured at grade cross ings, an increase of 10 fatalities and 105 injuries in comparison with the same pe riod of the previous .year. Similar in creases afy? reported in other quarters. ‘‘lt has been suggested that an in crease is to be expected since the number of motor vehicles and highway traffic is increasing,*’ the Bureau statement as serts. "hut this should be the reason for additional preventive measures rather than satisfaction with the situation. “There, is only one safe way to pre vent accidents whore highways and rail ways intersect. That is by a complete separation of the grades by means of subways or viaducts. There has been agitation for legislation in a number of Stales to require all users of the high ways to stop before crossing a railway track. A t'<£ states have enacted such laws. The application of such a law covering all of the railroad cross ings in any state leads to absurdities and unnecesary inconveniences. For exam ple. one of tiie principal state highways leading west out of Raleigh. X. C., where such a law is in force, crosses a branch line of a railroad running into the State Fair Grounds. This switch track is us ed for only a few days each year at the tflne of the State Fair, but under the law all the traffic over one of the prin pical highways in the state must stop at this crossing 5415 days per year. Such laws should be regarded as tem porary expedients only. Hundreds of branch line railroads carry only a small percentage of the passenger traffic now carried by the main line highway which they cross. If either traffic is to be halt ed at the crossing it should be the rail traffic. Right of way is given the most important traffic on railroads. This is a fundamental principle of operation, and this same principle should be recog nized by the State in making any laws with reference to stopping traffic at rail way and highway intersections. Un doubtedly trunk line railways should be given right of way. and the highway traf fic stopped, but branch line railway traf fic lies in a different category entirely. The highway traffic over important State trunk lines should not be stopped at branch line railway crossings. Rather, the infrequent trains should be stopped before crossing such highways. “The agitation for stopping highway traffic at railway crossings however, is ■having its effect in rapidly crystallizing public sentiment against all grade crossings, and this will lead to the only right solution of the matter, that is, sep aration of the grades. “In the construction of federal aid roads the Bureau of Public Roads has adopted the poHcy of eliminating grade crossings wherever practicable, if possi ble by relocation, otherwise by means of an underpass or overhead crossing and to this end an engineering investigation is made of every crossing aud a great many h ive already been eliminated. Costly tructures are required but there is no doubt that the policy lias resulted in the saving of many lives.” LENOIR COLLEGE SITE , DISCUSSED BY RHINE Millionaire Backer oi School Thinks That College Town Should Help More. Gastonia. July 51. —For the first time since he offered to make Lenoir college one of the most modern educational in stitutions in the, state I). E. Rhyne, millionaire of Lincoluton, has given out a statement. to the public on views as to tlie removal of the college from Hickory to some other suitable city which would help supjiort it more than the town where it is now. In his statement published this after noon in -the Gazette. Mr. Rhyne says that nothing Was ever said about the removal of the college until some of. th<> leading citizens of Hicekory showed that they did not want the college by refusing to give money for its cause and upkeep. Hickory people have given very little to the college, according to the state ment. Mr. Rhyne says: “The people of Hickory have had the college a long time and have done nothing for it. They have already let two colleges go dead and if our college was left to them it would not live long. In regard to why the college will be ‘moved, he says : “I am looking to the future of the college and I think this is what ax o should all do. I am going to back the place tiiat makes the best offer and that looks like the best place for the college, but if 1 back Hickory it certain ly will have to come up better, that much is certain. I ain glad the trustees let it be open for bids. They did right. [ did not care for the name of the col lege to be changed- What I want to see is a college that is a credit to the Lutheran church and all the Lutherans back it up and at a pl&ce where it is appreciated.’’ Incidentally. Gastonia is after the Lenoir Lutheran college and Mr. Rhyne, the trustees and several prominent men of the Lutheran church were the guests tonight of the college committee of the chamber if commerce at a dinner served at the Gastonia Country club. Although Montenegro contains rich aud fertile.fields in parts of the country, tak en \\ hole it is one of the poorest countries in Europe. Before the Euro pean War Russia built roads, bridges, hcurches and schools there. The natives are brave and fearless and have beaten back the Turkish swarms for 500 years. Os all the Balkan peoples, they alone have never bowed to the Turk. Alvin M. Owsley, national comniauder of the American Legion, says. "It will take five years to write a sensible law to govern immigration and until that time the United States should bar those who are coming here seeking to avoid the consequencse of a war which they brought upon themselves.*’ !T* The-* common corn TuaFigoldi is regard ed by some superstitions' folk as a magic tioAver, and if picked on the thirteenth day of the month, dried in the sunshine, mixed to a powder and then SAvalloAved in tea, it is said to bring good health and happiness.

THE TIMES, Concord, N. C. WHITE FARMERSNSHOULI) ENCOURAGE THEIR TENANTS To Attend The Negro Farmers’ Congress at Greensboro. Nothing would be more encouraging and stimulating to the negro farmers who are tenants, than to Ifftve their land lords urge them to attend the Negro Farmers’ Congress at the A. & T. Col lege, Greensboro, X. (’.. August 9th and 10th. All the .accommodations are free, i. e.. board lodging, etc. Os course each farmer will have to become a member of tlie Congress by paying the one dollar fee for which he will receive a nice badge and this badge will admit him to the diniug hall, dormitories and all oth er departments of the College free of charge. It will be a fine outing for the tenant farmers and their families. It will be helpful both to tiie tenants and their landlords. Why? Because the very best available information on all phases of farming wilL.be deviated by experts from the Slate and United States Department of Agriculture at this meet ing. Therefore, the tenants will return, refreshed, stimulated and encouraged, brimming full of new information that he will anxiously apply Avith renewed energy on his landlord's farm. By so doing, he will make more for himself thereby make more for hrs landlord. Again, the very fact that the landlord advised his tenants about such meeting aud urges them to come, will cause the tenants to feel that their landlord has their interest at heart, so it will serve to draw them closer together and cement their interest for the common good of all concern I'd. I know that such a prac tice is new. but I feel that the white landlord will find it very profitable. I should like to hold up as an example in this respect. Mr. W. P. Hager, a white landlord of Robeson County, avlio not on ly encouraged his tenants to come to our Negro Farmers’ Congress in Lumbertoit last year, but came himself to see if they were there. After he had advised them to come and also to gel the wholesome in formation given out by experts for both them and himself. We shall be glad to make provision for any white farmer who wishes to attend our Greensboro meeting, for most of our speakers will be Avhite men and white women, so they will not be the only white people in attendance. Please don’t forget that all negro farm ers who expect free board and lodging must-report to me by Monday, August (>th. If there is a party of them coming, one notice giving the number will be suf ficient. JOHN D. WRAY, Farm Makers’ Club Agent and Secre tary Farmers’ Congress.
