Governor of (Maryland, wno-'w fllso president of the Maryland Bar Association, .iihuoulncpjf that he wants to sue one more amend ment which would require that no fu ture amendments be ratified by any state legislature (toless at! least one house thereof is elected after the amendment has been proposed and unless the act of the legislature in ratifying the amend ment be subject to a referendum to the people \>t the state. Senator Lee S. Overman, of North Carolina, in a speech before the Kiwan is Club of Concord some weeks ago went a step farther and stated that he was in favor of just one more amend ment to the constitution, and that is one requiring that all future amend ments should be submitted to a vote of the people instead of to the various State Legislatures. The Constitution of the United States, like the work of all human brains, is not perfect. But it is a great and glor ious document and should not be tinkered with without very careful, sober, solemn and fearful thought. Us fruits are lib erty. equality, justice, educational and commercial opportunity, freedom from oppression, the light to worship God ac cording to the dictates of one s own con science, the light to tile pursuit of hap piness. It embodies in a concrete form the great ideals of America. It should not be changed without longhand seri ous thought, and never dnder the in fhienee of emotion, which has been re sponsible for numerous changes that have been made in the past, tk’ores of amendments have been proposed by well meaning persons throughout the coun try. but these should be given the test of time before they are written into the organic law of the country.

How does your community stand? _ ! TO TRY OUT HER TALENTS ON BROADWAY NEXT FALX Star Actress of the Carolina Play makers to Go to t ew York. Chapel Hill. N. C., July 18.—Along the announcement that Miss Elizabeth Taylor, star actress of the Carolina Plnymakers. will try out her .talents oh Broadway next fall, comes a report qf her year’s work as field agent for the Bureaeu of Community Drama of the University Extension Division.

Director of the Extension Division, the Playmakers form the parent organization at Chapel Hill from which the idea of a Peoples' theater is radiating to all corners of the state through the agency of the Oommunt ity Drama Bureau of the Extension I>ir visiop. Mr. Snell stated that while the University will feel the loss of Miss Taylor's work. Professor Koch expect? to secure someone equally competent next fall.-- According to ■ Miss Taylor’s report, she has served I*oo towns during the past ten months, has written 412 let: ters, loaned 728 play books and has sent out 43 bulletins. Her visits to towns were made always upon request either to take charge of the production of a home talent play or pageant or to as: sist in designing stage equapment or t<J heli> with make-up, ets. Following is a list of communities which Miss Taylor visited and rendered service to: Raleigh. Caroleen, Henriet ta, Franklin, Draper, Concord, Fayette ville, Edenton, Candler, Hillsboro, Reids ville. Winston-Salem, Salisbury, Char lotte, Asheville, Morganton. Lenoir.

LET LIVE STOCK REPLACE COTTON, SAYS DEPARTMENT Tire Stock That Is Best Known Is Plain Pigs. It Says. Raleiegh. X. C.. July I!).—"With the cotton crop threatened by that invisible enemy—the boll weevil—the remedy is of great importance." says a statement issued by the United States and North C&ro’/na Departments of Agriculture Crop Reporting Service. “Live stock is wisely suggested to replace the cotton. The stock that is best known is- plain Pig*- , •While the United States ’hoggish in tentions are almost unchanged in' the number saved this spriug as compared with a year ago." the statement contin ued, "if is observed from a compilation of thousands of reports from each state, that North Carolina intended in Decem ber to breed eight per cent, more sows for spring pigs bu.t actually farrowed the same number of sows and saved fifteen per cent.’ less pigs than last year. The corn belt states averages six per cent, more pigs saved, while the sows farrow ed were twenty-five per cent, more than a year ago. It seems that they exceed- , ed their December intentions by six teen per cent, while in this state, we farrow'd seven** per cent, fewer sows. The national intentions averaged sev enteen per cent, increased farm farrow ings anil exceeded the December breed ing intentions by four per cent. “The shows intended for breeding for fall farrowing as compared with those actually farrowed last fall, amount to 34 per cent, increase in North Carolina, 2(5 per eent. in the corn belt, and 28 per cent, more for the United States. The December lust results gave evident*! of 10 per cent, less actual fall furrowing than the previous fall for this state, while it was 28 per cent, more in the corn belt, and li> per cent, mole over the entire United States. "Tlie question is. what accounts for the 34 per cent, present intentions of breeding for fall farrowing, which is more than the main corn and pork belt, and- a radical change from the fall and spring results. Will the farrowings this fall be far short of tile intentions or will the market priees and the present out look have a different effect? The aver age bulk price of porkers on the main markets ranged between six and seven cents during June. ; B Fin S in & Up Bhi we c&nv A TadOj PS l VnSPcivE WE YOOG.

Very few crops are ex empt from them. The scale and other insects get the fruit, the boll weevil the cotton, the bugs the potatoes and cab bage, etc. The Johnson 'grass and cane grass take your fields. But, now just' when dairying is getting to be a profita ble business, along comes the bitter weed to give trouble. We learn that one dairymau claims to have lost over S7OO this year because of bitter milk, could uot sell it. And we have heard of the same complaint over at Charlotte. Bitter weeds grow up in pastures, by roadsides, and almost anywhere if al lowed to do so, and in the early sum mer cows will graze them along with grass, and they cause the milk to be so bitter than it is by no means good to drink, either fresh or as butter milk. The butter, however, is not affected. Very few people in this section know che weed, as it is a new comer. It re sembles dog fennel more than anything else, but the bloom is entirely yellow. We have seen it growing here and there, mostly about. Concord, but not in very large quantities. While it is thus, not frowiug very extensively, would be the time to get rid of it. I We would suggest that oiir “county agent get acquainted with this fellow if lie hasn't already done so, Get some of the weeds and put them about the court house where the people can see them and learn about them, and destroy them if they have any about their premises. Ev eryone who uses' lhilk to any form. ' should be interested, even the townsman, in destroying these pests. Once they are widely disseminated they are rather hard to deal with. ’ the time to act is now while there are only a few of them. Pull them up and burn them. The rail road employes should have* their atten-* tion called to them to keep them off their right of way. By timely co-opera . tion by all, this pest can be easily erad icated. If you value good milk and ice cream, you had better get busy, espe ■ daily dairymen. j W. E. ALEXANDER. Baxter and Miller Indicted for Mjirder in Lincoln County.

TRIBUNB MOSLEMS FLOCK TO MECCA FOR HOLY OBSERVANCES Pilgrims Are Now~Oonverging on Meet*, Their Stared CHy. ■ ((Yirrespoudence of Associated Press). Cairo, June 20.—Pilgrims are now converging on Mecca, • their sacred city • and the birthplace of Mohammed. Thou sands are traveling, from all parts of the Moslem world to be present on the • day of sacrifice. July 24. Egyptian Me - hamHtedans have dispatched the sacred i Carpet to Mecca, with elaborate cere- I monial and prayer. ■ Since/ the burial of the Prophet Mo hammed, more than a thousand years ago, Christians have been forbidden to • enter the Holy City, which is surround ■ ed with great mystery and veneration, i But in spite of this interdiction, sixteen i Christians are known to have entered ' the city in disguise. Death would have . been their fate if they had been detect ed. Thus far no American has set foot within its sacred walls. The foreign ers who have penetrated the city have ; been mostly Englishmen who spoke Ara bic and disguised themselves as priests of iieasants. (>u arrival within a short distance of ; Mecca the pilgrim discards his ordinary ! clothing and assumes the garb of a ’’Ha I jee”—a garment consisting of a white | aprqn with" a piece of blotli thrown over the shoulder. Sandals may be worn, hut I the head must lie kept uncovered. In the city itself certain ablutions I are performed, after which the “Black j Stone” is kissed, and the pilgrim runs I. seven times around'’ the pobcpid. After I special prayers and genuflections he then drinks from the- Holy Well, and once more kisses the stone. On the following morning there takes place the quaint ceremony of pelting the devil with stones, followed by the sacri fice, when a sheep, a goat, cow, or oam •' el is offered, according to the pilgrim's means. This concludes the pilgrimage. The meat of the slaughtered animal is , prepared for use on the return journey, and the pilgrim receives a certificate ■ that he is a "Hajee.”. As a mark of dis- I tinction he thereafter wears a green 1 band round his headdress, which proves I to all the world, that he lias endured the I hardships of the pilgrimage. i) THE FARMER’S DAY. ' I * I Philadelphia Record. .1 A Moorestown, N. -J.. correspondent E of the Record, whose letter appears in i the "Mail Bag" this morning very teas-1 - onably inquires whf, there should be l such a hullabaloo over the 12-hour day • in the steel industry and other lines of I - manufacture and employment, while so little notice is taken of the fact that the faTnier puts, in the same length of time, or more, every day at the hardest kind of labor. The question is unanswerable. Cer . taiuly the farmer is deserving of sympa thy. not only because of his arduous t labors and the utterly inadequate re , turn they might bring him. hilt because of the hazardous status of his employ ment. No matter how industrious he may be—no matter to .. what extent he draws upon the servieeS'of his wife and [ children, who also toil early and late— he is at the mercy of climatic condi- J rions over which he has no control be fore he can produce a crop, and at the 1 mercy of economise conditions equally uncertain in realizing upon it. If na ture frowns upon him. he loses, regard less of the range of prices at harvest time. If nature favors him, he is still likely to be a foser when lie tries to dis pose of his crops. Averaging one year with another, he makes a living entirely incommensurate with the efforts he puts forth. * We are not wise enough to suggest a remedy. But it is obvious that utiles*? means shall be found of shortening the farmer's hours of labor and assuring him a reasonable return, farming will become more and more an unattractive employment, the cityward drift will con tinue, production will decrease, and we shall enter uiion a new cycle that cannot terminate until new values are set uiion farm products -by a marked discrepancy between supply and demand. We must be fed. But the farmer is not a philanthropist. He has as much right to consideration as the laborer in the steel mill, and when he and his wife demand an eight-lionr day something is going to happen to the prices of prod ucts of the farm. The hoiothurian or sea-slug is a snail like creature, which can throw off its vital organs when frightened, and replace them alt within a few weeks. _ Dr. J. A. Shauers CHIROPRACTOR' Maness Bldg.

The mother of George Ripley was what is called a typical, old-fashioned New England woman. She was the sort of i>erson who wishes to see everything in its place. To move a chair from where it usually stood was an offepce. To leave things in disorder was an abomi nation. To spill anything was a high crime. She had an air of dignity that made it seem impossible that she could ever have skipped a rope or run a race.’- ? As for her ever having lifted her voice sufficiently to shout, that was certainly out of the question. She was serene, dignified, quiet, reserved. Having but little, she was obliged to cultivate the virtue of thrift, and thus she saved ev erything. mended everything, and lived a life of great simplicity. She would have been shocked could she hffve fore seen the waste that is characteristic of today. Nevertheless, she was charitable and thoughtful of others. "I'm going to step over to see poor old Mrs. Brown,” she would say. "I hear the poor woman is worse today.” and off she would go, prim and formal and stately, but warpi-heart od, and willing to work hard, or to gife anything that she had for.the benefit of others. r *■ ’ ’ s ' -- * This old-fashioned blit wprm-hearied wain tig married Jerome Ripley, and mov ed with him from Boston to Greenfield, Mass., then, 'only a small place. There her husband, tecame a merchant and a highly respect**! citizen. George Ripley was the youngest of her ten children. He inherited all the New England virtues, and became one of the gdiief-.exponents of the idealistic concep tion of things called "Transcendental ism.:"’ 1 He was among the leaders iu es tablishing Brook Farm,” a gieat com munal experiment tliat was to lead to absolute happiness, but that failed as all such experiments do.

July 19.—A leas ed wire extending the market news ser vice across the continent was opened (last Monday, it is announced by the (United States Department of Agricul- I ture. The new extension connects Kan sas City with the Pacific coast and pro vides regular communication for 12 hours each business day to the new of fices at Denver, Salt Lake City and San Francisco. An extension of the service to South eastern states was also opened on Mon day by the establishing -of wire com munication with the office at Atlanta. This service is now being conducted by commercial messages, it was stated, bnt it is expected that by September 1 a lease*l wire will bf installed connecting Washington with Raleigh. N. (’.. Clem son, S. C.. Atlanta Tmd Jacksonville, Fla. These new extensions, it was as serted. will enable the Bureau of AgrLj cultural Economics to greatly improve its' market rgffwrting service in the fur Western and Southeastern States. The telegraph wire which is used for the col lection and distribution of market news is supplemented by radio broadcasting by more than eight private stations throughout the United States, Depart ment announcement sank Professor Robert DeC. Ward, of Har vard University, writes: "No iiossible temporary advantage to be gained by the importation of cheap alien labor could in any way offset the incalculable > harm which such an influx would inev itably do to our country and our race. The question of protit*Nis not for a mo ment to be considered as more important * than posterity.” The great steamship Ijeviathau can carry passengers enough to fill a good sized country town, nearly £.OOO in all.
