The Charlotte News is concerned over the homicidal increase in North Carolina. ] declaring "we are doing splendidly in j North Carolina in our efforts to break down the invasions of the deadly germs, hut we are making a blunder at our at- ' tempts to decrease crime." and adding ' further that "the virtuous results of the * public consciousness aroused against ty phoid. for instance, are overcome and off- set by the continued prevalence and in- . crease of the homicidal bacillus.’’ The \ News' then quotes from The Ifyileigh 1 News and Observer which gathers from 1 the bureau of vital statistics the infor- * matiou that five homicides occur and ' two men are committed to prison every week in this State for homicides. The figures as compiled and announced by the Raleigh paper are impressive, to say the least. They should create unus ual iuterest among those people who are patriotically concerned about their State. During the thirty mouths six hundred j and twelve people were killed in North ’ Carolina, and 275 were brought to the ' State Prison to serve sentences for vari- ’ mis degrees of murder, ranging from one ! year for manslaughter to execution for : first degree murder. Twelve were for 1 murder in the first degree. 157 for mur- ] der in the second degree and 110 for manslaughter. During the year of 1921. 246 homicides 1 were reinirted to the Bureau of Vital Statistics, 105 people were punished by ' imprisonment or death for murder. In 1022. 253 people were killed and 00 were convicted and sentenced for murder. During the first six months of 1023. 113 1 jieople met'death in homicides, and dur- ' ing the same period 77 men and women ‘ were committed t<j the prison for mur der. 1 Over the 30 months’ period 041 men and women were committed to the prison : to serve sentences for crime. 275 of whoni were brought sos rtnlrder. or about 30 per cent, of the convictions were for taking human life. The man killer has 56 chances out of a hundred of not being brought to prison when he has taken a human life, according to the figures of the Bureau and the Prison. Homicide ranks next after typhoid fev er in the causes for death reported to the bureau. In 1021 typhoid deaths to taled 307 and homicides 240. In 1022 typhoid killed *2OB and homicides ac counted tor 253. Disease decreased and crime increased. The comparative fig ures for the tirst six months of the cur rent year are not available. To quote again from The News, it seems that "we tight disease with one hand and kill with the other. That which slays its thousands has come to awaken more public dread than that which slays its tens of thousands. Evi dently there is need in tins State for a re-swearing to uphold the law. We are letting our conscience become calloused to crime, passing it over as a thing of levity and thus adding to the minimum of value that attaches to human life. NOTHING BUT ROT. The Republican National Committee has just issued a long statement about conditions in the Democratic "solid" South, the purpose of the statement seemingly being to attract the attention and support of uegro voters. The state ment” is not very different from hundreds of others issued from time to time by the committee when it wanted to appeal to the negroes, but for pure "rot" and absence of truth the statement is in a class by itself. The very idea of a body of men *wlio clapp to be intelligent making the asser tion that "eighty, members of the House of Representatives? from the solid South are holding their seats because by shot gun policy and by dishonesf and fraudu lent elections exercise of citizenship of a majority of their communities is prohibited." How many people, includ ing Republicans, believe that? That charge i* included i» the ctMMßittte I 1 ; statement along with a more serious one—that there has not been an honest, ( free election in the South in the past I 25 years. JVhat constitutes an honest, free elec tion in the opinion of the committee? Re publicans have been elected in this and other Southern States during the past 25 .years and in many instances the elec- f tions were to decide important offices, j Surely the committee members do not contend that the Republicans were eleet ed by dishonest methods? If those elec tions wCre honest why can it be charged that those in which Democrats were elected were dishonest? No, the committee members had to send out a message at this time and they wanted to get the negroes. That’s what they were after: The committee recently decreased the South’s vote in the nat ional convention by increasing greatly the North’s vote, and this statement, de signed to convey the impression that the negroes are. not treated night by the Democrats, is sent out with the hope that it will heal wounds caused by the changes in the convention delegates. The state ment may confuse some people who have never* been in the South, but its meaning will be easily read by the majority of the people. CANCER NATALITIES. . ~ i Cancer is demanding and receiving in- , creased attenfion yearly from medical men. This faet is brought about by the increased number of cases of the disease , reported from year to year. The latest statistics show that about as many peo- , pie were killed by cancer last year as by t tuberculosis. Cancer seemingly is on the increase ( while tuberculosis is on the decrease. We j arc learning more each year of the cure ( and prevention of the White Plague and t as we gain knowledge we are spreading it , so rapidly Trod so- successfully that peo- ( pie in practically every walk of life are ( * . • <. , t With cancer it> is'different. The treat ment of the disease is not so certain and it is more costly than in the case of tu berculosis. There are forms of cancer that have been successfully treated by operations: other forms are treated by radium treatment, and others have fail ed to respond to all forms of treatment. The seriousness of the disease is chal lenging the energies and talents of the best minds in the medical profession, and it is only reasonable to expect that with in the next ten years as much will be done to check its progress as has been done within the past ten years to check the spread of typhoid fever, tuberculosis and other diseases which only a few years afo wore considered as dangerous as is cancer now. EORD ANNOUNCES HIS POLICY. There is great rejoicing in tho Cool idge camp over the boost given tin* Pres ident by Henry Ford, who declares to the world that Mr. Coolidge suits him j and who hints that for this reason he should suit the rest of the world. In a statement issued Wednesday tHe Detroit manufacturer announced that he would not oppose Mr... Coolidge as a candidate for any party, and plead with American people to let well enough alone and not bother with a real campaign. And this hits delighted the Coolidge supporters. They did not know just where Mr. Ford stood and they are glad that he will not oppose theier candidate. The truth is, Mr. Ford's statement has pleased many people. No one seemed to know just whftt lie was going to seek and lie had other candidates on the fence. He has a certain following and Democrats and Reepublicans alike wanted to see whether he was going to be a candidate, so they could go after his followers. There is little likelihood that Mr. Ford will carry all His support with him. The fact that Mr. Ford favors Mr. Coolidge doesn’t change the fact that Mr. Coolidge represents everything the Republican party stands for. WILD BEASTS HE HAS NEVER MET. David Lee Wharton, in Our Dumb Au inals. writes about wild animals he lias never met. Ht> says : I have never met a beast — Who decked itself in the skin of its fellow-creature. Who did not prefer pure fresh water to to any other ■drink. Who fawned upon me while planning to destroy me. Who ate unnatural and highly season ed food concoctions. Who deliberately destroyed her un born offspring. Who assumed a "holier than thou" air with his fellows. Who boasted of his pedigree, or bored me with stories of his prowess. I have never met a "lower” animal who would not become my real friend in retain for kindness shown him. There is a lesson for everyone, who should certainly do as much as the wild beast. A WHITE CHRISTMAS. Christinas in Concord this year-was a season for joy for everyone, judging by i the gifts that were purchased for per ■ sons in every walk of life. Those per > sons who had been blessed with more money than they needed for their own I family and friends divided it Avith un- 1 l j known persons who had been less fortu i na-te. and in this manner the true spirit of Christmas was carried into pructical ) ly every home of the city. Organizations and individuals worked 1 hard to see that Santa Claus visited ev i ery home iu the city. It istto ! *be hoped - ’ that no children were disappointed be * ( cause Santa Claus failed to reach them. * So fa-r as is known there was little if s ' any iu ‘ the city on Christmas. * Am effort was made in a systematic way t to determine where food w*s needed, and wfete such cases ware found good things in abundance were furnished. And activities in Concord in behalf of j the needy were just one example of what., !was done in every part of the country. ! Newspapers published in cities and towns throughout the and carried stories of funds raised for those persons unable to raise money for themselves, and the spir it of giving seemed to characterize the j Christmas season in every State ih tne. 1 nation. That is- as it should be. That is the true spirit of Christ, whose birthday was celebrated. "It is more blessed to give than to receive.’’ 'He taught, and this divine principle is surely spreading from year to year. MORE DIVORCES IN~CITIES THAN IN COUNTRY. The repart men t of rural economics of the University of North Carolina has just published figures showing the num ber of divorces issued last year in coun ties in North Carolina. The figures show that Buncombe county had 93 di vorces last year while 25 other counties had only 91. The department explains this disparity by pointing out that Pun combe county contains a large city— Asheville —and that the divorce rate is always much higher in counties cot?tam ing sizeable cities than in counties where the pupolation is mostly rural. One-half of all the divorces in the State weie granted in the ten counties with the largest towns and cities naturally, the de partment of rural economics is led to the conclusion that the divorce problem in North Carolina is an urban problem and that "it will increase as the migra tion increases from farms to cities. The statistics give the department ev ery reason to reach this conclusion. Heretofore agricultural affairs have berni treated merely in an economic sense, but they cannot be so treated in the future. The migration from the farms to the cities is a problem that touches practi cally every phase of life. OFFICER IS ATTACKED FOR FANCIED GRIEVANCE Concord Man . Beat Belmont Policeman Into Insensibility. Special to Charlotte Observer. Belmont. Dec. 26. —One of the worst crimes in the history of Belmont s po lice department took place in East Bel mont Tuesday evening about 7 o’clock, when Policeman H. E. Corrcll was badlj cut about the head, face and neck and was beaten to insensibility by Banks Lay. a former citizen of Belmont, now living in Concord, and his son, Tom Lay. who lives here— Sir. Ferrell's assailants fancied that they had a grievance against him on account of the arrest of two younger Lay boys, and while Correll was making his regular heat in East Belmont at a time whefc there were no other person* about, the two accosted him and asked what he had against the boys. While they were talking Tom Lay struck the policeman from behind, knocking him down. The elder Lay then jumped on him and cut him about the face, bead land neck, inflicting several ugly w'ounds. They took Oorrell's pistol and other weapons from him and left him in a helpless condition, after which they jumped into a waiting automobile and left town. Some months ago Fred Lay, a son of Bank* Lay. was arrested, tried and sent to the ehaingang for breaking into the store of W. It. Stowe, in East Bel mont. Lester, another of the Lay boys, had been in court on various charges a number of times and had giv en the officers so much trouble that the authorities finally forced the family to leave town. They moved from Belmont to Concord. On Tuesday afternoon Lester Lay came to ‘Belmont on train No. 45, ar riving about 6 o’clock, and was arrested by Officer Correll as he stepped from the train on a warrant issued by Barney Calge. charging Lay with beating a board bill at Cagle’s case. About the same time the elder Lay came to town in his automobile from Concord, which gives rise to the opinion now held by Belmont authorities that the affair was premeditated. Local police oflicers stated this morn ing that they were advised Tuesday night of the alleged assault upon the Belmont officer by Banks Leigh (Lay), but so far they have been unable to find any trace of the alleged assailant. Leigh, the officers have been told, moved 'to the Norco tt Mill several weeks ago * biit not many people of this city are acquainted with him. It was reported here that officers watched his house for several hours Tuesday night ami again "Wednesday, hut it is believed that he has not re turned to this city. Christmas Exercises at Y. M. C. A. About two hundred people attended the exercises held on Christmas Eve on the Y. M. C. A. lawn. These people i gathered around the big Christmas tree. which was beautifully decorated for the l occasion, and sang old fashioned Christ i mas songs. The crowd was the largest that has ever attepded an occasion like i this in Concord, and everybody seemed 1 to enter into the Christmas spirit and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the even ing hour’ spent arund the tree singing and carolling beautiful songs. Christmas day, around three o’clock in the afternoon, the Kings Daughters i sent many cars out into all parts of the city and neighboring country loaded with . food supplies for the needy people. The general headquarters was at the Y. M , C. A. and everything was distributed from that, point. The Hi-Y boys and 1 girls of Concord bad charge of the dis tribution and carrying of the food into - the homes of the needy. This is a t splendid custom and has made many . people happy and those who foster such a custom and those who aid in any way j such kindly work will surely be blessed I many times over and over again for their efforts. .■' •• If - .

CAROLERS VISIT EVERY SECTION OF THE CITY Carried Message of Christmas Music to All Persons in Concord. Carrying the message of Christmas music into every section of the city, two choruses of the city sweetly sang Christ mas carols in front of the homes of many persons in Concord Christinas morning. The number of singers this year was the largest in the history of Concord, two groups making the rounds of the city. One group was composed of mem bers of the Hi-Y club and the other was composed of members of various choirs in the city. The latter group started their carol pilgrimage at 2 o'clock and covered ev ery part of the city. They sang at these homes where a lighted candle had been placed in a window or where an electric light cast its glow through a window. Fifteen candles were found burning in homes and in about half of the" other homes of the city electric lights were left burning. At 6 o’clock the carolers were enter tained at breakfast by Mrs. Peter E. King, at the home of Mrs. A. A. King, on West. Corbin Street. Hi-Y Girls anil Boys Sing Carols. Early Christinas morning when ev erybody else was soundly sleeping the Hi-Y clubs of Concord were gathering at the Y for the purpose of going to many parts of the city to sing Christ mas carols. Christmas morning was very cold and the young Hi-Y folks were indeed enthusiastic to brave the early hours and winter frost to carry the Christmas spirit in song from one home to another. The singers Stopped at many homes where a light had been left burning in the window, and also where it was known that an old person lived. This custom is a very beautiful one ami those who have heard the Christinas singers can testify as to the beauty of the voices and the songs. It is to be hoped 'that each year the custom will increase in popularity in Concord as it has in many other cities over the , country. The first woman ever to enter the diplomatic service of any country was : Miss Clotildc Luisi, who twelve years ago was appointed by the President of Fi'uguay as an attache of the Uruguayan legation in Brussels.

THE TIMES. Concord, N. C. AMERICAN DIVORCE NOT BINDING IN ENGLAND London Judge Refuses to Recognize Washington State Divorce. London. Dec. 21. —A divorce granted an Englishman in America is not neces sarily binding here. Justice Horridge, in Divorce Court here, granted Mrs. Alice Rudd a restitution decree, although her husband. 11. M. Rudd, obtained a divorce from her in the Statte of Washington and was latter remarried'. Rudd complied with the Washington law that he must give his wife notice of the intended divorce. However, the merce take up with the Southern Railway Company the matter of paving the road at its passenger station Imre. We think the suggestion is a good one. We have argued for years that the company should be made to pave this stretch of road and we are of the same opinion now. Perhaps the chamber members can get strongly enough behind the proper city officials to make them do something. The Southern is not going to pave tiie road until it is made to do so. regardless of the fact that the mud-holes in the road now are an eye-sore and puisance to the en tire citizenship of Concord. Among the peasantry of Europe it is a superstition that it is unlucky to carry anything from the house on Christmas morning until something bus The largest single raft ever seen in tin* Great Lakes, containing 7.500 cords of Canadian pulpwood. left Port Arthur.
