CXfBIBLE THOUGHTI X—FOR TODAY—I IH Bihl® Thoughts memorized, will prore «|S| " after T SE®K THINGS ABOVE Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth—Colossians $:2. Ye cannot serve God and Mam mon.—Matthews 6:24. It has helped great deal. The sixth anniversary of the birth of tile prohibition inw lias been the oc casion for celebration in various i>arts AT the country. Dry leaders and lay men have co-operated in celebrating, with special emphasis placed where it belongs—greater efforts in the future. No one contends that the prohibi tion law has ben, enforced to its full extent. The public has not co-oper ated sufficiently for that. But just the same it is a fact, qs contended by Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel for the Anti-Saloon League, thut the l*w has resulted in the establishment of conditions vastly improved over the conditions that existed previous to the enactment of the law. Figures secur ed by the Census Bureau show that there was less drinking in 1923 than in 1910. the decrease being given as 55 per cent. In 1924, according to every available figures, the decrease was maintained in the country. The Charlotte Observer thinks “the one outstanding fact is the obliteration of the saloon and creation of homes with money that formerly passed over the bar counter, a corresponding re duction in pauperism and depopula tion of the slums. Prohibition has brought about many blessings to the American imputation, in spite of the fpet that bootleggcry is far from be ing suppressed.” ! ' Prohibition, it seems to us. is worthwhile because it has been able to do some good in fact of the most de termined fight ever waged by the Am erican people against a law. When we begin to support the law as it should be supported its real worth will be more apparent. ONE TRAFFIC DEATH EACH DAY. Deaths in traffic accidents in North Carolina last year totalled 365—an Hverggo of one each day. The total 1 includes deaths from accidents at grade crossings, the victim in prac tically every instance having been driving or riding in an automobile. Gtgde crossing ucchlents should never occur. The man whose car skids into a ditch or whose ear is smashed by anptbar ear is helpless at times to avoid trouble, but the man who gets killed at the crossing does so because of negligence. It is an easy matter to stop and look and white the rail way .companies have dangerous cross-' iugs iu this State, the trouble most of tbe is traceable to the driver who refuses to use raut'on. Koected that North Car ave more traffic aeci of the Southern States re traffic in the State.] have resulted in motor not be, equaled by any 1 fcbelSotithl Unless it is l‘ that Commonwealth jceouie comparable to s only since tbe land JV In .|hose States where the roads are impassable la suilh weather as we are having now, there are less accidents. The roads are legs congested and of course where there are fewer cars on the road* there will be fewer traffic deaths. There is little the State can do to protect the lives of auto drivers. Va rious laws designed to protect the motorist iffive been'enacted, still our death list .-mounts each year. Tbe matter is entirely with the people. They can cut down the auto accidents when they decide to use common sense while motoring. COURSE IN NEWSPAPER READ ING. Speaking before the editors of the State recently, Dr. Chase of the State University, suggested that a course in newspaper reading would be beneficial to the State. In this connection he pointed out that at a recent test con ducted by questionnaires, newspaper readers sent in queer answers to ques tions that should be easily answered by intelligent newspaper reading. “The Golden ’State” Was called Heaven by some of the persons who stood the test and others sent in an swerrs just as ridiculous. The trou ble with the public. Dr. Chase sug gested. is ignorance about reading and lack of reading. Many persons do not know how to read the papers, he said, while others make no effort to get newspapers to read. Who is there to question the sane ness of this argument? There is a liberal education in the newspapers if the people will just read them, and read them intelligently. 1925-1926. Chavity and Children. The year that passed into history on last Thursday night was notable for several things. One was the severest drought that the oldest citizen ran re call. The western section of tbe state was especially afflicted. The earth is yet far below normal in rainfall, and wells are reported dry notwithstand ing the good mins of the autumn. Bus iness conditions, however, are reported better then usual. The taxable wealth in many of the counties is said to be well in advance of any year in our history. The state is Howled with automobiles, which is the generally accepted test of prosperity; for it takes real money to buy and maintain automobiles. The advancement iu general intelligence was a remarkable feature of the year. The school spirit has been strong and growing. The standard of teaching lias been raised. The darknes is passing. Ignorance is becoming a disgrace. The man or Woman who can not read is becoming more of a rarity. Newspapers during the year have greatly extended their circulation, and more books were read during 1925. by North Carolinians, perhaps, than ever before. From the standpoint of Intelligence 1925 made a good record. Religiously, there' has been great agitation. Throughout the year there was the spirit’of contro versy that brought us no good but considerable harm. Extremists have shown an unbrotherly spirit and ugly words have been spoken and written. Very little progress was made on the payment of debts on our boards. The Baptists aud Methodists are especial ly burdened with unpaid obligations on the five year “drives.” The churches, however, have received large accessions. It is hoped that the new element will help to make up the defi ciency in giving that was so notice able and deplorable in the year 1925. Last year was unusual in the number and cost of church buildings either projected or completed. Expensive meeting houses is the order of the day. Instead of $25,000 the average church now projects a church building to cost SIOO,OOO. 1926 begins under favorable auspices. }Ve learned some 1 lessons iu 1925 that ought to be helpful in the new year. Let us hope that we shall have a year of peaceful progress. We have talked too much and done too little as Chris tian people. It is time to stop the gabble and go to work. We hope also, that the old time lessons of economy will characterize the new year. In both church and state, we have been plungers rather Hian plod ders. We caught the contagion of spending too fast. The spirit of ex travagance was in the n : r. And the spending was mostly on ourselves. There is little danger that we shall become extravagant in our giving. The old year was good and bad : may the new cony the good and avoid the bad. Century-Old Laws Changed. London, Jan. 16.—Statutes dating hack as far as the reigns of Edward 111. and Henry V. have been amended or repealed by the new “Criminal Jus tice Act” which has just come into effect in Great Britain. One of the most important changes is in a law which has been in opesa tion for more than a thousand years. Since the earliest times it hag been supposed in British law that, if a married woman commits a crime while her husband is present, the hasband is guilty, aud it lias been sufficient for a wornau merely to prove that he was present. This is no loriper so, except in (he case of treason and mur der. Another new law is of particular in terest to the newspapers. Under the new statute no person may take or attempt to take any photograph, sketch, or portrait of any person, whether judge, juror or witness, in a court. The word “court” means (he building and its precincts. It there fore has become a crime for a pho tographer to take one of those "Mrs. 80-nml-So leaving the court today" snapshots which have appeared daily in the illustrated .press.

VOLCANIC SPEECH MADE BY 81-EASE Attacks Windrow Wilson. Foreign Diplomats and Prohibition Enforce ment. Washington, Jan. 15. —Attacks on Woodrow Wilson, foreign diplomats in connection with the importation of liquor, prohibition agents and oth ers were made today in the Senate by Senator Blease, Democrat, South Carolina. Reading George Washington's fare well address in an argument against American adhesion to the world court, the South Carolinian particularly scored the diplomats, charging that they were "feeding liquor to" aud "de bniuhing” American women without interference from federal government authorities. Assailing the Democratic party for endeavoring to “foist” the League of Nations upon the country, he said lie believed this Was done for the purpose of endeavoring to make, through his egotism and vanity, the then President of the United States t'.ie President of the world.” With respect to prohibition, he de clared that “any man who thinks this country has prohibition is an ignorant fool." "The only man in this country who has prohibition is the poor devil who 'inis not got money to buy liquor, and everybody knows it.” Senator Blease said. “If he does not know it. it will notj take him Jong to find out if he will just walk slowly along the street and look like his lips are dry. "Why they have soliciting agents all over the city, and they come into the Senate office and they go to the House office building and they come under the dome of the capital; and yet some people stand up apd talk nbout prohibition.” Quoting from Washington's state ment that foreign entanglements would open the door to foreign influ ence and corruption. Senator Blease shouted: “We have it in this country," “You opened the doors to foreign influence." Ire gilded, "and God knows you have the corruption of it right here in Washington—liquor sent over from Baltimore under protection for foreign embassies, that they ami their people might have a big Christmas, drink liquor, drink wine and cham pagne. frolic, have dances. “But the poor little devil who rode a street car all day in the sqow. or drove a hack, or worked down here in a ditih somewhere, and quietly slipped out and got his half pbjt, put it in his pocket, and slipped around in somebody's closet or maybe slipped home and took a little drink—some scoundrel paid by the government in the shape of a nasty, dirty spy. vail ing himself a prohibition agent, look ing in the window, runs in and drags him ami slaps him in-jail for 30 days, while the embassy people in their uniforms and their stripes and their fine hats and clothes drink all the liquor they want and do every thing they can at variance with the laws of the United States. “Great God, V.hnt a country! Whatl an enforcement of law charged up | to soriiebody. I don't know who.” ' Senator Blease argued that law and order was hamaiiered because “our higher officers in many instances don't obey it.” “Our churches are divided," he con tinued. "some of them teaching these .fool doctrines like evolution." Adverting again to Woodrow Wil *on, the senator said that when James I M. Cox. the Democratic candidate for| president in 1920, “went ap to thej White If O use and knelt down and said : ‘I consecrate my all to tlife. Mr. Wikioli, pot my country,’, the people ; slapped him in the face, and properly sq, because 'George Washington told them to db it.” !

' CHAPTER XlX—Continued “It’s too bad,” Connemara mur mured consolingly, trying not to giggle. “Still, I’m not so sure it’s such a bad thing for us they did make a get-away. We’ve all been mixed up in some pretty queer pro ceedings, I’m afraid, and Aunt Celimena would just naturally have died if we’d appeared on the front page of the morning papers. As for the money, you leave that* to me. I’ve a sort of hunch ” She walked over and held out her hand to the weeping Sweetie, who promptly slapped it away. “Teeth like a darn fox terrier,” she sobbed, and continued to rub her wounded leg. Connemara again reached out her hand, and this time pulled the other girl to her feet. “I’m so sorry— truly, I am. But I just had to. Now —come in here, won't you, for a minute?” Brushing her tears from her eyes, Sweetie reluctantly followed Conne mara within the moonlit sitting room. “What a fine can of oil I turned cut to be,” she muttered. “To let a soft little social dame put it over on me.” “Don’t feel so badly,” Conne mara smiled, “I didn’t play tdir. How could you know I’d bite you?” she put a hand on the girl’s shoul ler and patted her gently. Then a aard note came into her voice. “It’s to use, you know. Hand it over, please.” “But—but—but I’m engaged,’’ ike stammered weakly. Sweetie stared long into Conne mara’s face. The defiance of her txpression gave way to defeat, then ■ to hopelessness. “Veh, all I get is the wreath of hand-painted rasp berries.” Shrugging her shoulders, she reached inside her blouse and “Take the damn stuff,” she said, bitterly, “and a lot of good I hope it does you. Now what? The bulls?" Connemara smiled winningly. “Bulls? You mean the police? Oh, no, Sweetie. What have they got to do with it? I haven’t an idea who really owns this money.* If it’s yours, I’ll give it back when you prove it. Meanwhile—we'll just keep still and watch.” '• “Oh, well,” answered Sweetie, “who cares? Naw, it ain’t mine. And if it interests yon any, I’ll tell you I’m glad to see the last of it.” “Poor kid,” said Connemara, and once more she patted Sweetie’s shoulder. “I like you—a lot. I want to have a talk with you later. Don’t you get terribly sick of . this sort of life?” “Aw, for the love of Mike—don’t bother about me. I ain’t worth'it.” Nevertheless, with a quick move ment, she grasped Connemara’s hand and preyed it. “Yap’re a damn good egg yourself.” ’'Well, what’s up?” came Lacy’s voice from 4he doorway. “Find the money?” Connemara did not hesitate. Her eyelashes flickered slightly in sig nal to Sweetie as she answered cheerfully, “Um-h’mm, wasn’t it bright of me? I must be losing what little mind I have; It’s been ' right where I—l put it, all the time. You just forget what I dreamed about burying'it, won’t you?” “Fine,” Lacy said imperturbably, 1 but his eyes looked straight into hers with a quick little glow of ad miration. “And now, Miss-er, Sweetie, McTish seems to have something he wants to say to you out on the porch.” “Yeh?” Sweetie snickered. “Well, pardon me for livin’.” Then to Connemara, “Holler if he gets fresh.” She walked sedately out of the rootQ- Tittle Girl Killed by Car at Lexins ton. ■ Lexipgton.

A man she had known for five minutes two years ago, and rather] well—she had to admit that—for the twenty-four hours just past. Still, you couldn’t call that time enough Ufc— Or could you? Who was he? What was be? And what right had he to do such things to her with that caress in his voice? She mustered up her old ally, face tiousness . “What a pity you don’t make the stage your career.” But he shattered her silly defense efficiently. “Darling,” he whisper ed. “Yqu darling.* His hands were reaching for her. In a moment he would take her in | his arms. . . . How to escape? Then, all at once she knew. She didn’t want to escape. “But—but—but I’m engaged,” she stammered weakly. “You Set your life you are!” Lkcy exclaimed. Whatever else he may have meant to do or say was cut short by a blood-curding shriek. With a thud remarkably reminis cent of that made by a sack of po tatoes cast into a wagon, Aunt Celi- > mcna sat heavily down upon the top stair, and slid unceremoniously down upon them. CHAPTER XX By George Palmer Putnam Halfway down the stairs, Aunt Celimena caught at the banisters, staying her erratic progress hall ward, and rose to her feet. Anyone but Aunt Celimena would have been shaken by the sudden pitching for ward into the darkness, but that good lady, after the briefest instant of pause to regain her breath, was once more in command of her dig nity. Clutching her dressing gown about her, she dominated, by sheer will power, the strange assembly, half grouped in the front hall of Moorelands, and half overflowing upon the broad porch. “Connemara,” she called. “Will you be good enough to come and tell me what this is all about?” Instead of answering, however, that young lady voiced an observa tion of her own. “And now see who’s here! The faithfijl family lawyer himself, com pleting the cast of our mellow melo drama.” Connemara was on the crest again, her strenuous experi ences, apparently even her bruises, for the moment forgotten. Her sally followed the sudden ap pearance of Adam Brewster de scending in Aunt Celimena’s wake, the only one of the’gathering who was conventionally clad. “That, my dear, will do,” Aunt Celimena spoke grimly. “Naturally Mr. Brewster heard the extraordi nary commotion going on down stairs and came to our assistance. Did you expect anyone to sleep through it?” Her glance took in with -delibera tion the group below her, one by , one,.until it rested upon Sweetie in the doorway. “Were thfy burglars, or this—this young person’s recent associates?" she demanded. “You may remem ber that I warned you, Constance Mary, what would certainly be the result of bringing her into the house.” Sweetie took the accusation with entire equanimity. Tilting her snub nose to an angle even more acute than ndture intended, she grinned impudently into the disapproving eyes of the lady who had thus libel ed her, and shrugged fier shoulders. It was Aunt Celimena who looked away first. “I think, - she said, to Mr. firew ater behind her, “that there are a number of matters that need ex plaining—at once.” The lawyer murmured an eager assent. From his expression it was clear that he very much doubted the ability pf a number’of people, to explain—satisfactorily—a number ol things, but he charitably refrained from Batting this dohht into syords (To be continued) \ striking the child, whq was in the act of Crossing the street, a portion pf tlie central highway in the southern lwirt of the cjty. ?
