Governor Morrison is not adding any thing to his popularity by getting peev ed he is caught speeding. It is not 9 'very pUfisaut sensation, to be sure, but wjby shoitid the Governor feel any more pee Vt%( than tip? : average citizen? The laws were made for him as well as for his neighbors who happen not to hold office, and if he goes faster than the law allows he should pay. The Statesville Daily finds that “in Governor Bickett’s time he was held up in Burlington because the chauffeur had put On too much gas; and Governor Bick ett promptly paid the fine without any protest.” That was exactly wh«t Gov ernor Morrison should have done, if he really felt peeved about the matter he should have kept it a secret, rather than let the world know he was mad because he was arrested. Several weeks ago while riding with the Governor of Tennessee, Mr. Morrison was arrested and fined for speeding. Again at Hillsboro Sunday his car was stopped for exceeding the speed limit. That’s where the Governor got mad. He told the officer he was going to take the mutter to court, and instead of imying the fine, he gave bond. He has that right, of course, if he feels that he was not breaking the law when arrested. But why get mad. or rather why show his feeling? We agree with The Daily further in the opinion that “it isn’t pleasant to hear of the Governor’s car beieng stop ped! for speeding." for “the Chief Execu tive should set an example «s a strict observer of the law,” but “it is gratify ing- to note that the law officers are dis posed to treat Governors the same as other folks. They are entitled to no more consideration on the matter of law ob servance than John Jones or Bill Smith. In fact they should be held to stricter account, seeing that it is their special business to uphold and defend the law." 'Hie officer that stopped Mr. Morrison's car at Hillsboro Sunday probably will enter court with the facts, and it will surprise us if he is not upheld. The facts alone should be considered ut the trial -for Mr. Morrison should be tried as t eitire nos the State and not as the Gov ernor. SHOULD BE TAKEN WITH SALT. , Just about one-tenth of 4)11 the stuff i that is being written now about rum i runners is true. ' First, it was on the Jersey coast that All of the liquor was .brought in, according to reports. Later it moved to other sections, and not long ago, according to special writers for northern newspapers, the stuff was bronght fn without difficulty on the Flor ida coast. These writers would have their readers believe that in Florida good liqttor could be purchased almost any . where. Further, they left the impression that'officers of the law and everyone else co-operated with the runners, and that the whole thing had the sanction of the officers. a That is hardly the case, as shown by the Miami Herald, which says: Whenever A Northern newspaper runs out of special stuff and wants to start a j| sensation it prints an article from some alleged cor respondent who claims to have 5 : investigated rum»runuing along the Fler ids coast. if: Tfce Florida paper then goes on to tell of • “thrilling story ’ sent to a Chicago paper by a corresponded* who riaitotf issisisig f which 40,«ft case* of Mqu*e were brought in, and, as he told it, never had the sli#teat difficulty in getting by the of -1 The Miami -paper insists Uu»t it is ex* i difficult to purchase liquor in that city, that the officers are vigilant land the courts not at all lenient. The statement that any ship brought 40,000 cases to Miami it characterizes as “pure ly imaginative” as no vessel of sufficient capacity to carry such a load plies the waters between Florida and the Bahamas. People will do well to take these wild, rum stories with a grain of salt. They are very exciting, but in many of them there is absolutely no truth. Always Sleepy. Youth’s Companion. • » Less serious in Its results on health and less distressing than insomnia, its opposite, morbid somnolence is never theless a trying condition, for it is like ly to interfere sadly with the perform ance of the daily dutjes. In its minor degrees the sleepy state comes on only in the evening. Many persons who have household or office work to engage their attention during the day are able to attend to it perfectly well, but im mediately after the evening meal when they sit down to read or to study they begin to nod and soon fall asleep. That is the common form of the trouble, but there are other degrees up to a stupor almost like that which occurs in epidem ic meningitis, popularly called “sleeping sickness.” , The causes of evening somnolence are numerous. The most common is prob ably want of sufficient interest in what you are doing. For example, a person who is always sleepy in the evening would be very likely A-at least so we hope—to keep awake long enough to read this article through, though he might fall, asleep over an article about the Federal Reserve Board. Another frequent cause is too hearty a meal at night; When that is the case the heaviest meal should be eaten at midday, and at night a cup of tea with a little bread and jam or crackers and cheese should suffice. Or chronic auto-intoxication may be at the root of the trouble. Tile general health may be at fault: the pa tient may be so anaemic, for example, that the brain does not receive enough sbiood. Or the condition may he the direct result of overwork: the available Energy may be exhausted by the end of the day. Furthermore, many people do not givi* themselves long enough time in <bed. The amount or 1 sleep needed va ries. but as a rule seven or eight hours are necessary, and nature will exact them. Sometimes the tendency to drop asleep may be conquered by jumping up at the first nod and walking about the room. Or sleep may be warded off for an hour tor two by drinking a cup of tea or cof fee without milk or cream. If those simple measures bring no relief, the family physician should be consulted, for there may be some general morbid state that needs correction. Commissioner Haynes 111. Washington.

' I WHIPPING OUT THE WEEVIL. : Chaelotte Observer. Hie American Cotton Association, of which Harvie Jordan is managing director, has this year operated !133 demonstration farms and in this week’s issue of Cotton News. Mr. Jordan is giving summary' of results. The farms are scattered through eleven States and on every farm the work -is being car ried on to the end. of the season, ex cept in less than half a dozen eases where the crop was practically destroy ed by hail-storms, bad stands or sudden lows of labor. The gratifying feature of the campaign is found in the success of weevil control and the prospect to date of a splendid yield of cotton per acre on all of the demonstration farms. Mnhy of the operators, under the simple, practical, yet effective met hods employ ed, feel assured of haryesting frnn one to one and a lin>f bales HA-cotton to the acre on their test plots. The weevil fighters, seems to have proved that it is possible to conquer the liest. but the important point is that the work must be started in time. What Mr. Jordan has to say along this line ought to be impressed upon the mind of every cotton farmer. The time to begin fight ing the wevil is the time the farmer generally “knocks off work” for the year. It is in the Fall, as soon ns the cotton crop is picked out. Then the farmer has a chance to get at the weevil and destroy; him before he hits- an op portunity to burrow in for protection against frost. The line of fight is to either turn the stalks under with trac tors or turn plows, or plow the stalks out so that they will die before frost. Ts this is done, advises Mr. Jordon, all adult weevils and grubs in the field Will tile. The farmer is advised to keep the ditch banks, terraces and hedgerows around the cotton field clean with 'liocs or burning. Do not plant cotton next year where cotton grew this year. Ro tate the crops. Thousands of weevils will come out of their long Winter's sleep next Spring and die of hunger ooking for cotton in the same Held they left a few months before. Old weevils do not live, on au average, longer than a week to 10 days after they come out if hibernation in the spring, unless they find young cotton to feed upon. Burn out old stumps and destroy dead trees near cotton fields. The dean, well kept farm is a very unattractive place for a weevil to hang around on'in the Wint-r months. Don't wait until next Spring to begin the weevil control camptfigi!. but do all the ilamifge possible to the insects before they leave the fields this season. Plant this years's cotton field in small grain or prepare them for corn and velvet beans or peanut crops next Spring. Put your next year's cotton on* the othc* side of the farm where other crops grew 'this year. The farmer who does this may con template the casting, cultivation and piddng of the crop of 1024 with a com paratively untroubled state of mind.

Office Phone SS4W DECREASE IN WHEAT CROP I Prospective Crop WM Be Oif About I* Per Cent., According to Reports. Raleigh, JN\. C., Aug. 22.—There is’ a present prospective decrease of about if* jier cent, in the acreage of the wheat crop this year, accotffiing to a report is sued today by Frank Parker, Federal- State agricultural statistician. "The wheat crop is bringing a very .low price at this time,” the report reads, "causing considerable embarrassment to the Middle Western farmers, and ns a result of this therb is a present prospect ive decrease of about lfl per cent, in the acreage expected to be sown this fall. This information is gained from about 25,000 farmers’ reports which give their past season’s planting and their intentions for this fall. O? course, this doAs not guarantee that their inteilflons will be carried out. "The present intended fall ffixip is 16 per cent, greuter than the pre-war aver age acreage.' The average abandonment of the nation’s wheat acreage has been in the past almost 10 per cent. If the average annual* abandonment occurs this winter, it will leave 35,360,000 acres to he harvested in the summer. “Expansion of the wheat area of the chief exporting countries, combined with the lessened purchasing power of West ern Europe, for the existing low price situation. The World war caused a tremendous increase in the wheat acreage of the five exjiorting countries of the world outside of Russia uni* .the South eastern European countries and since the war these countries have decreased their acreages but little. In fact, they now are growing 28,000,000 more acres of wheat than they averaged before the war. “After long expectation of Russia and the countries along the Danube river, the Ameriean wheat grower should take positive steps this fall to adjust his wheat acreage in with the f'xisting situation. Tlih weather condi tions have been responsible largely for any reductions in the American wheat acreage, rather than any planting policy. Even now the intended acreage will be 14:000.000 acres above the pre-war av erage. "Russia is not expected to export any appreciable quantity of wheat in the near future. The markets already have discounted matters in accordance with the known condition ” •Metropolitan For September. • The Metropolitan for September makes good its claim of being "The World's Greatest Fiction Magazine."
