[jjj '■ EVERY DAY:—This ix’.fkC.daj. which the Lord hath made; we'‘‘A-iil rejoice and* be glad in it.—Psalm 118:241 WILSON SPEAKS. There are many people who did not side politically with Woodrow Wilson, hilt :th«e are few who do not recognise in,, him u than of ( keen intellect, a man Who knows of what he is talking. There fore his article in 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 be redeemed spiritual ly.” This, he says, ‘is the final chal lenge to our Churches, to our political organization and tt> mtr capitalists—to every one who fears God or loves his country.” In other words, Mr. Wilson is preach ing against selfishness. And he gets at the root of the thing when he tries to catch the public eye through means of money. American people, he charges, are more interested in making money than helping the rest of the world, and so he warns that if 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 i conservative disposition, and a man who : has made a deep study of present,day conditions. We would do well to heed ’ his warning. v 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 j serious mistake. It isOjut human to err, to be sure, but Mr. Rockefeller has been 1 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 , he did, and we have his own word for it, ‘ and there are many people making the same mistake today. “Next to doing u thing right,” Mr. Rockefeller says, “the most important factor in 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 there 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 confidence is by being perfectly frank. Steadily and rapidly is the print ed wrrd. prime disseminator of infor mation, increasing the faith of man in ' mankind and improving his condition in the world. When Governor Lee M. Russell was sued recently by a young woman who preferred' serious charges against him. be bad 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 88th support as he received in the. other case. As his time of office expires, he tgkes up the contemptible practice of I (teeing all prisoners in the State pris on. fie opens the doors of the peniten tiary and turns loose npop tjij people of fifa State who elected him'in good faith, many of the criminals they bad sent there for, their protection. Such action should 1 never’ be takpn,* wp think, and pow;pt' to ’take suyh ’ action sbohld not be‘given to one man. ’ There aye many •' Instances, to be sure, when the Chief, J&x eeutive of a State.exercises in the high est form the powers jjjr*n him, buj there would welcome it, and'thoae who are not honest need it. i DEAF PERSONS AND THEIR EMPLOYMENT Head of Bureau for the Deaf Telia of Some Interesting Cases. Raleigh, July 28.—“ We are running across some very interesting deaf per sons in our employment work.” said J. M. Robertson, head of the Bureau for the Deaf of the Department of Labor and Printing. “One of the most un usual of these ig that of a deaf mute employed as billing clerk and stenogra, pher for a tobaeco concern at Danvillej Va. ' ' ! "This fellow attended the North Caro lina school for the Deaf at Morganton, almost a helpless boy with a big hump on his back. The older he got, the big ger the hump became. He bent down, his bands almost touching his feet. This deformity together with his deafness was a great handicap. “He was determined not to allow himself to be dependent upon charity. He searched many months for work and at last found employment with a tobacco manufacturer at Danville. He has worked hard and has made good. We have just received a letter from his em ployer telling us what he\tbinks of this deaf mute.” The letter from the manager of the tobacco company is as follows: “Henry has been in my employ since 1914. I found him at tjjAt time work ing in a tobacco factory of which I as sumed management. He was pasting revenue stamps and labels ou smoking tobacco, making .SI.OO per day when at work. I do not suppose we operated that department more than half the time. Consequently he had to get. as sistance from relatives. “He was very anxious to work full time and was anxious to learn to operate a typewriter. So, I put him in ’the office at $4.00 weekly. He learned to to set up forms for writer-press, this being very useful to us as we did a great deal of circularizing. “His salary was increased from tim? to time and it was not long before he was able to take care of himself. Ht bought liberty bonds in war time and has probably saved a little money. “A few years ago I got up a special letter head with his name as manufac turer’s agent/ to sell tobacco by mail. He got up a list of gopd merchants, cir cularized them and did' sell quite a lot of goods. R “Henry is now acting as my stenog rapher which sounds strange for a deaf nnd dumb man. I pencil my letters hurriedly and he copies them on a type writer. He does it accurately and neat ly and his work is verv satisfactory “He is also my billing clerk in which I capacity he is very accurate: also assists with the bookkeeping. He is very hap py in his work, never wants a vacation and would work overtime if I would let him. “Being deformed as well as deaf and dumb he is handicapped for speed but being constantly on the job he turns off a great deal of work and honestly earns every cent he is paid. He is one of'the most deserving young men I ever saw and it is a pleasure to have him around. t “All of which.” said Mr. Robertson, “goes to show that t|je deaf can do any work where hearing is not required if given a chance."

I Dayton, Ohio, July 25. —The first flight by man in an air-propelled vehicle, i operated by foot power of the pilot only, is an accomplished fact, it was announc , ed at McCook Army Air 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 in which contrivance he made the first successful flights in 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. In the longest flight made with the machine, operated by 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 other 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 by 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 Rhe ground and moves 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 “pycleplane” is ap proximately 20 feet long and the top wing stands about 30 feet from the floor. No data on its weight were avail able. “No extravagant claims are made for tlie machine,” Lieut. Gerhardt said, "but 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 above a nominal power output Try tifunau beings.” Grass Burner Used by Southern. Spencer, July 26.—The Southern is operating what is called “the grass burn er" on several divisions of the road. The outfit is said to consist of a huge tank of steam, super heated and then heated by the use of an oil burner. The machine is attached to a locomotive and the steam is discharged with great force in a spray reaching some 50 feet on either side of the’ right-of-way along the main line, killing instantly all veg etation along the roadside. So hot is the steam that it is said to kill even large bushes without actually touching the steam. It is said the oufit can uiake about five miles per hour doing the work of several hundred men, effecting a in labor and money. Macfadden Publications in Big Demand.

Cabarrus Savings Bank (THE CONCORD DUCT TKIBUNI THE HOME SUPPLY OF PORK 1 North Carolina Men to Speak at Live stock Meeting to Be Held In Mont gotaery. , , t Raleigh, N., Q.;, juH 26 —Earl Ho*- > tetler, in charge of swiffe; investigations . for the North Caroiina Expei'im«ij sta • tion arid*,tV. W. Shay, in charge of M: • tension work with swine, have accepted ■ invitations to address trie Alabama Farm ‘ Bureau Livestock meeting to be held in ! Montgomery on Friday and Saturday of ‘ tbis week. \ • recent announcement from Edward ■ A. O’Neal, President of the Alabama Farm Bureau Federation, stated that the program for this state-wide meeting has ' been completed and that representative ' farmers will gather at Montgomery from ' each county of Alabama. ’ The invitation to s®r. Hostetler to speak before this meeting on some of the problems in connection with producing a home suppTy of pork, is in recognition | of the excellent work that he has done in North Carolina,” said an announce ment by the Department of Agriculture. "Not only has he had charge of all the investigations being made with swine in this state but he has also served for about two years on a committee repre senting the packers, the State Experi ment Station and the Federal Depart ment of Agriculture working to deter . mine the best methods of overcoming the production of soft pork in the south. Mr. Hostetler lias represented the State Sta tions on this committee.N "Mr. Shay’s work in feeding hogs and selling them co-operatively has also gained wide recognition. In some sec tions, it is stated that this phase of cx teusioji work has caused as much favor able comment as any other one thing at tempted by any agricultural worker in the south. “Officials of the State College and De partment of Agriculture feel that the selection of Ihes<*two speakers from the state is largely because of the big agri cultural program now being carried ou here. The State is attending much at tention all over the south, because of its diversity of farm crops, its continued ad vance in value of crops and the increased interest in all kinds of livestock and pas tures.” Messrs. Hostetler and Slmy will ap pear on the program of the Alabamu meeting on July 28 nnd will give the re sults from some of the work which they have done in this state. Thirteen Conventions Scheduled For Raleigh. Raleigh. N. U., July 26.—Thirteen conventions already are scheduled for Raleigh in 1924, according to an an nouncement made here tonight.

Among those organizations which huve chosen Raleigh for their 1924 meeting place are the following: / North Carolina Chiropractor's Associa tion—May. North Carolina Dental.,Society—April. X. C. Funeral Directum and Etnbulm ers—Muy. jßjsj. Insurance Agents Assertion of N. C.’ —June. State Federation of Lion’s Clubs— Date unsettled. North Carolina Medical Society— April 15-17.

York Rite Masonic Convention —May 14-16. f Itebekah State Assembly—May 20. Caution Created. Charlotte Observer. It has been observed (hat there are some people in the State who consider themselves too good to obey the law. and scorn td stop at the crossing. Nevertheless, they exercise the caution of slowing down and looking each way before going on. It is drie ft) this cir cumstance that a 10<) p?r cent record in crossing safety lias been established since the stop law went into effect. It is not because every driver of an utito mobi’.e baa stopped at the erossiiig, blit because every driver lias been moved ft) caution, that the railroads have been enabled to pass out word of a casualty less record since the law went into ef fect. The stop law is doing good in spite of the few who think tfiey are better I than the law. J. W. Motley Escapes From Jaws of Death. Mount Airy, July 27.—J. W. Motley, a foreman on sewer construction work in this city, had a narrow escape when , the bank of the ditch caved in and buried him under loose earth. Mr. Motley was inspecting the sewer pipe and was stoop ing in the diteh looking through the pipe when the loose earth slid, down on him, the ditch was about 10 feet deep and j he was nearly smothered before the • workmen could get him out. as well as ( being painfully bruised. His injuries confined him to his home. ■ Mothers of Famous Men ! . ■ The Mother of William H. Prescott. "She had a perfect spirit of sell-sac rifice,” wrote the American .historian, Willisuj H.. Prescott, concerning his ! mother. > . “She was sympathetic. ' She had-a heart, full fit km.”., . ” The woman of whom be wrote lived tex see her son fifty-six years of age, honor-' ed in his own country and even beyond it. In all those years she rejoiced in having- his deepest love and respect. There is something exceedingly great about motherhood, for it can command the deathless love of great men whose minds are turned to the most serious work. It can make men who are nota ble for thought and for keenness of per ception look upon their mothers as ideals of all perfection. A mother, therefore, gains a throne such as no queen could commnnd. save through the power of motherhood alone. Catherine Hickling Prescott was an unusual woman. She was very fond of reading, and delighted especially in reading Shakespeare. The Bible. of course, she knew almost by heart. Then, too, she made many attempts to write. This love of reading, and this desire to find expression in authorship, and their influence on her son. She was a woman of remarkable energy, tireless in carry ing on her own work, in visiting those who were sick or unfortunate, and in giv ing service wherever she could find need fbr it. lYTUiam H.« Prescott was the oldest of her seven children, and he inherited her love of books, of writing, and her intense energy. AVhen he took up the work of writing his great histories of Mexico and of Peru he was as tireless as she had been. Her pride in him was well founded. He carried out to the full all her own longings.
