Jn| THE GOODNESS OK GOD:—Oil, that men would jtriiise the laird for his v goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men.—Psalm 107 :21. \ GREATER THAN LAW: A policeman stepped from behind ,n Street car in a Southern city recently and n»s killed by a car driven by a jrinifh about' eighteen years of age. Wit nesses test idl'd at the* eofOtier’s trial that the policeman was careless and that the accident was almost unavoidable from the driver's standpoint. Nevertheless. Pie father of the youth, who happened to be wealthy, did not allow his interest in the affair to stop there. He visited the widow of the policeman, whom he found to be suffering from tuberculosis and promised to send her to a sanitarium and pay all expenses until she is com pletely cured. He told he he would take the three little children in his home, support them, educate them and hriug them up in even better circumstances than their father could have done. The widow readily accepted the proposition. From the standpoint of the law the father of the unfortunate youth was not compelled to give the widow of the policeman anything at all. The testi mony at the coroner's inquest indicated that there were no grounds for a law suit and it is doubtful if the widow would have sued even if approached by what is commonly termed a shyster law yer. But the father knew nevertheless that there would be suffering in the home of the dead policeman. He knew, of course, that his money could not make up for the sorrow that the women and her children hud felt, but lie knew at the same tilde that lie could relieve their physical suffering. His was a kind heart and he did unto them as he would have wished to have been done unto if he had •been in their places. Such men as this make life. "The law is supreme and indispensable," us The Greenville News says, “but it can not and does not. take the Nplace of the Golden Rule. The law is mechanically and necessarily limited in application, but the Golden ltuls is human and appli cable to all human affairs, with a rich ness of justice the law cannot meet. Men who stay within the law are good citizens as a rule, but men who obey the Golden Rule are the salt of the earth." COMPENSATION FOR MINERS. COMPENSATION FOR MINORS, issue of the American Labor RevieV. compensation laws in most States do not apply to minors. In Wisconsin, howev er, the law is different and it requires the employer to treble the compensation for an injured minor illegally employed. Such a law should greatly influence' child labor. In North Carolina, accord ing to available statistics, there is little illegal hiring of children, the State's child labor law is so effective, but in* other States heads of manufacturing plants are less careful about hiring children, especially since the law does not require them to make comiiensation to minors. The Wisconsin law makes sure a certain sum of money for the; minor: it alko fixes definitely flie amount of money the .employer knows he WllL have to pay; it eliminates costly law-; suits; and it mokes the employer more, careful about hiring minors. The Wis consin Taw bos another feature. It for bids insurance edmpanics to pay the com pensation unless the employer is insolv ent. ftiHtt-PRjeiigj-iig .] The ( MoeridouWaowell controversy has broken rdht #fre(fh.: ■ The‘ Governor re- \he hSjtrffe jAsdttdr and ask-, ed him about the pf the State.

Mr. Maxwell answered She auditor's let ter with Another assertion that there was 4 ■ '* ’Much has been said and written about * this deficit, and yet" we Ore of the opinion 11 that a great majority of the people of the State know no more about it now than they did before the argument start ed. FEDERAL RESEARCH REDUCES NUMBER OF MINE DISASTERS Big Reduction in Mine Accidents Since Organization of Bureau. Washington, Sept. 21'.—Although the recent mine disaster at Kemmerer, Wyo-' ming, took a heavy toll of lives, there, has been a great reduction in such acci dents since organization of the Bureau of Mines. The Kemmerer disaster was only the second of any magnitude this year, while in former years, before tire adoption of safety methods devised by i bureau experts, LiA -taking explosions were not uucommon. In the month of December, 1907, 600 men were killed in two disasters alone. While the Bureau was not organized until 1010, it now trains annually 12,- 000 coal miners in safe methods in min ing, rescue and first aid work: operates ten mine rescue statious and teu safety stations; and includes in its mobile res cue units a number of fully equipped railroad rescue cars and a fleet of simi lar automobile trucks. Most mine disasters result from ex plosions, caused by the high explosives used in the mining process. Although American coal mines used last year more than 220.450,000 pounds of assorted ex plosives, however, the number of men killed per 1,000 dropped from 0.24 in 1907 to 4.19 in 1921. The most important of the discover ies of the Bureau’s engineers was- that finely divided coal dust is highly explos ive without the presence of an explosive gas, and that a spark, open light, or flame from a "shot” in a vein can set. it off. Prevention of such explosions can be affected through sprinkling dry mines, or by adding to the ever-present coal dust a sufficient quantity of a non-explos ive stone dust. On some mines a stone dust cloud is let loose before every "shot." Aside from developing gas masks and other important rescue equipment, the Bureau also produced new types of ex plosives whose flame is not liable to set off either gas or coal dust. These t‘X: plosives, are known as "permissiblos" and were first devised by bureau research ers, although the Bureau now only tests commercially made explosives and gives instructions as to their best use. Improvements in mine ventilation worked out by the Bureau have contrib uted also to tlie decrease in the number of disasters from gas explosions. PEOPLES NATIONAL BANK PLANS REORGANIZATION Authorization For Continuance Can Be Secured if Depositors and Oflioers Support It. Salisbury. Sept. 20—At a mass meet ing of depositors of the defunct Peoples National Rank of this city, held in the courthouse tonight, a plan of reorganiza tion was presented. This includes al readv subscribed now stock amounting to more than SIOO,OOO. with $50,000 more in sight, and election of a tentative board ol directors, all new men. The depositors were asked to agree to the re lease of 50 per cent, of their deposits, this to be credited to them proportion ately as notes held by the old bank may be collected. Also the depositors were asked to continue to do business with the bank and give it every possible moral support. As soon as a sufficient number of the depositors representing a sufficient amount agreet to the plan and sign waivers to tiiat effect, the comptroller of the currency would authorize the re opening of the institution, and the board would elect officers, the depositors pres ent at. tonight’s meeting unanimously voted to accept the plan. However, a majority of the depositors were not pres ent. Neither was a majority of the de posits represent, but it is believed a suf ficient number will fall in line to insure the reopening of the bank. Age of Tractors in Corn Belt.

One of them was found by a steamer Captain rounding the Horn re cently. While groping his way into the open, a gigantic mass of ice carrying a large three masted schooner, with its boats still in the ciefts, was sighted. Efforts were made to find the survivors but no trace of them was discovered. Another sea tragedy was added to the already long list of those as yet unsolved when a Greenland whaler came upon a strange looking derelict, battered and weather worn, apparently built in the last century and ice bound for years. A boarding crew found in the cabin the body of a young woman, preserved by the arctic frosts. Near a long dead fire was the remains of a young man, still holding a flint and steel. * * » Rim Spreader for Changing Tires A common 8-in. barn-doer hinge can be used to good advantage for spreading automobile rims when changing tires.
