TO-S^.-^— -- I'^^J THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE I : Twin f«r» Govern in Washington. | i Washington, .fan. 17. —The way the i WaHhingttjii citizenry is bedevilled by i government is ohe sin and two shames. The two district commiswoners— the third or engineer commissioner concerns himself only with technical matters, far which thank providence —rule like twin czars. Whatever they spy “goes”—at least it does for awhile. ' Later the courts often knock it out. * * • The frequency with which this happens St significant of the regime's irresponsibility. ** , The commissioners slap on some new regulation and it's law until somebody employs counsel and spends . a lot of money putting up p fight. , Then, as likely as not, it transpires that the whole thing was illegal all along. Those who suffered under it in the ; meantime simply are out of lock. • * * The rule subjecting pedestrians to arrest for auto traffic code violations was- a recent sample. Traffic Director Eldridge wanted it and persuaded Commissioners Rudolph and Fenning to issue the decree. The police dropper! everything else to go after pedestrians. Trying to cross a stTeet was prac tically equivalent to a pinch. Obey ing the officer’ signals was to invite being run over, for the cops were too busy" with pedestrians to bother with autos, and they ran wild. To disre gard them was to. fluid in jail. • * * After several days of this, with ISI arrests, one of the jaywalkers appeal ed from the traffic court to a higher tribunal which promptly declared the entire performance an outrage and or dered it stopped. KEEPING THE HOME FIRES = BURNING. 5 Winston-Salem Journal, The Journal welcomes the Anti-Sa loon League and its field forces to Winston-Salem. They are coming next with some of their big gest guns. Among the heavy-weights will be Bishop Cannon and Congress man Upshaw. Many of our churches Will have their attention brought forcefully to the prohibition law at their Sundnny mothiing and evening services and hi addition there will- be a mass meeting which will give non ehureh-goers an opportunity to hear these able men. It is well to have such a campaign occasionally. It is one of .the ways to “keep the home fires burning” for this great reform. Without a vigor ons public sentiment in favor of pro hibition tile bootleggers and “wets” will get the upperhand. They are busy all the time. They are at work now in every city and state in the 'hiion. They «#« “boring in” at Wash- TnfcKiii day and night. Even in the Congress of the United States there are representatives of the of the people who have taken oafh to defend and support Che constitu tion and .vet are bitter foes of that section of the constitution which for- 1 bids the manufacture and sale of in toxicating liquors ,4n the United States. They would do anything in their power to overthrow that part of the constitution. Only this week one member 'of Congress was forced to resign from office in order to go to Atlanta to serve a two-year sen tence for violating the law which Congress enacted to safeguard/ this amendment. With such men as this in the con- \ gress of the United States, with a “Wet” governor of New York actually being seriously consindered for presi dential nomination by leaders of -one of the great political parties, it be hooves all sincere believers in the ef ficacy of the prohibition amendment to stand together and -work together for its defense. The main effect of such a campaign as will be put on in Winston-Salem - next Sunday will be to rally once more around the standard of genuine prohibition reform the Christian men and women of this city who believe the law should be enforced rind Hint people of all classes, rich as well as poor, should he taught that they must respect this section of' the constitu tion of the Unied States as well as any other, if they desire to retain their citizenship in this republic.

Rumors led Carrie Nickerson to be-, lieve that on John Smith’s farm sonre where was a pot of gold baried there | seventy years before by two of her , relatives. A fortune teller produced , a map which purported to indicate the definite location of the treasure. Months passed. When neighbors were discussing the matter -at the Smith home, littlie Minnie Smith pro posed that there be provided a pot of gold which the searchers might find. An old copper kettle was filled with rocks, ami two lids were fastened on the top, after there had been placed between them a note dated 1784, di recting the finder 'not to open the pot for three days, and then to notify the heirs. Then the kettle was buried in an old chimney seat in an abandoned .dwelling on tSe farm. Carrie found it fourteen days later. She discovered the note. “You must carry out those instruc tions to the letter, and you’d better deposit the pot with the bank at Cot ton Valley antfi the heirs can be noti fied” was the suggestion of one_of the helpers, who was “in” on the secret. Carrie acted on this suggestion, but the cashier refused to give a receipt for a “pot of gold,” The bank presi dent, while Carrie was arranging with a lawyer to lock after the legal for ma liefes. examined the pot far enough to find that it contained nothing of value. By this time the joke had leaked out, but the lawyer agreed to carry it along, and the next morning, when the parties appeared at the bank, Miss Nickerson, noticing that the pot had been opened, loudly preclaimed that she had been robbed. When she ascertained that it contained nothing but rocks, she proopeded to bombard those present therewith. The next move of the disappointed .treasure seeker was to sue the per petrators of the joke, the cashier and the bank president, for $15,000 in the Louisiana courts. Carrie died before the case came to trial, her heirs took up the fight, and, the 'STqirome Court of Louisiana" 1 awarded damages. “If Miss Nickerson were stjll liv ing,” it was declared in the official report of the ease, "we should be dis posed to 1 award her damages in a substantial sum. to compensate her for the wrong thus done.” There are no frogs in the Hawaiian j Islands although a single species of toad is found here.

Little Billy tripped over the edge of the carpet and dropped the dish of tapioca jhe was carrying.
