North Carolina was a dry State,
that is its people voted out liquor.
Jong before many other States closed
the saloon. We boasted of our ’’ari<l
ness.” pointing with pride to the fact
that North Carolina was one of the
pionggr States in the battle against
liquor.
These are all the more reasons why ;
we should be ashamed of our •'moon
shine'’ record as shown in a recent is
sue of The University News Letter, i
"The statistics furnished in that pub- ;
lieation read:
North Carolina is a great industrial |
State, and not the least of her indus
tries is moonshimng. Our rank among ,
the states in illicit manufacture of
whiskey compares favorably with our
rank in textiles, tobacco, and furir
ture. Unfortunately we have no offi
cial data oil the volume' of output or
value of the finished product, blit
judging from the 1925 report of the
federal C mmissioner of Revenue one
gets the impression that North Car
olina is second to none in moonshin
ing. our population considered.
During the fiscal year ending June
30, 1925, federal prohit/'tbon agents
seized 1,917 stills in North Carolina.
839 distilleries, 680 still worms, and
18.340 fermenters. In number of
stills seized only two slates ranked
ahead <;f North Carolina. namely
Georgia and Illinois, both with a lar
ger population. On a population bas
is North Carolina ranks first in stills
seized (Operations of state and Vocal
officers arc not included in tbVse
Btatenjeiits. t In only three states
were more distilleries seized, namely
Georgia. Virginia and Tennessee, all
neighboring states. These states rank
ed ahead of otjrs in still warms seiz
ed. However. n fermenters seized
North Carolina was surpassed only by
Georgia.
The federal agents seized more than
a million and a half gallons of malt
liquor in North Carolina (rank thirdt
njore than thiAe hundred thousand
gallons of mash, and 219 automobiles
valued at $70,521.
"The appraised value of property
seized anti destroyed by federal
agents was $758,861. In only one
state, Georgia, did federal agents de
,-stroy a larger amount of property.
However, there were nineteen states
in which the value of property se’zed
attd not destroyed was greater than
is North Carolina!

THE DUXBURY RECITAL
Concord has a rare opportunity for
two excellent entertainments on the
afternoon and even in* of March 17th
when John Duxbury, England's emi
nent reciter, will appear here.
Mr. Duxbury, it is deliv
ers annually a greater number of re
citals than any other artist in the
United Kinfldom. His career is a
striking instance of concentration,
the devotion of one’s whole time and
energy to a particular field of labor.
One critic after hearing a Duxbury
recital wrote; “We had the pleasure
of hearing him, and all that we had
heard was confirmed. In voice, man
ner, appreciation and realization of
the different characters, lofty themes,
and sharp transitions which compose
that wonderful drama, he excelled.
His memory alo,ne is a phenomenon,
and his ea|>e an enviable possession.”
Two of the best known pieces of lit
erature are to be recited here by Mr.
Duxbury. In the afternoon he will re
cite “Pilgrim's Progress.” and in the
evening “The Book of Job.” The lat
ter is said to be his greatest work.
Hundreds of Concord people should
hear this noted man. It is seldom
that the public in the South has op
portunity to hear such an excellent
entertainment.
OUR STATE HIGHWAYS.
Recently Governor McLean point
ed out that Our State highway system
now included 4.448 miles of complet
ed road, on which there has been ex
pended in four yTars a total of $82,-
300.063. During the year 1025 there
was new road construction of 1.554
miles at a cost, with bridges, of $27,-
327.008. There is at present under
construction an additional mileage of
slti. to cost $14,850,572, and. this will
be greatly increased during the year
1028 by the expenditure of from 10
to 12 million dollars loaned by vari
ous counties to the Highway Com

TWO CHILDREN ARE
BURNED TO DEATH
Happened in Patrick County, V*..
While Playing With Matches in
Chicken Jlouse.
Mount Airy, March 10. —The two
small children of Shaffer McMillan
were burned to death this morning
about J) o’clock, according to news
reaching here this evening. From
the best information obtainable the
children were playing in a small
chicken house near the residence. It
seems that 1 there was a quay.fffV of
dryr straw in the chicken house and
it is thought the children
matches and iu some way set tire to
the straw and their way of (’•♦cape
was cunt off by the flames. The re
port is that their little bodies were
almost literally burned up. The
father, who lives about seven or
eight miles north of this city, in
Patrick county, Ya., works in one of
the local furniture shojk-; and was
here today when notified of the
tragic death of his two children.
Their ages were about three and six
years, it is said, and were the only
children in the family.
Wanted—More .Marion Talleys.
Winston-Salem Journal.
The triumph of Marion Talley.
Kansas City girl, recently as a
Metropolitan prima donna, a little
more than a fortnight ago. not only
thrilled the country by proving that
American can produce her own
opera *tars; it gave birth to the
idea that we have other Marion
Talleys yet to be discovered, and
sent two hundred Kansas City
boosters back home after hearing her
to help find and finance their sue
cese.
The sucres* of M'teS Talley was
something more than a personal
triumph. Kansas City discovered her
when wax a 14-year-old choir
singer, and by voluntary contribu
butions and publk? benefits raised
$25,000 with which they sent her to
Europe to develop her talent under
the best vical teachers of grand
opera in tin*, world- And now that
she has exceeded their fondest ex
pect at ions the citizens of Kaiwfls
City are going to raise $50,000 to
help other talented lingers of their
city to duplicate her success. Every
one of Pue 80.000 school children in
Kansas Cir.v will be given a chance
to qualify for their aid in mimic,
drawing, painting. molding ami
kindred art#.
The action of Kansas City ie
really a greater triunmph for Amer
ican art than that of Muss Talley,
for it means that hereafter America
is going to produce her own artists.
The Open is here. In fact, it has been
here all the time, but up until now’
we have never believed it and have
been willing to pay xtaggerinlg
amounts to foreign artists of all
sorts to appear before American
audiences. The time has come to de
clare our national independence in
art as well ** in government and
give our boys and girls a chance to
develop their artistic ability. And
Kancas City is already leading the
way.
No city in North Carolina is bet
ter fitted to s!ow the action of
Kansas, City han Winston-Salem.
Musicaltly, Winston-Salem ha# ax
promising talent as there is to be
found in the South among our high
school boys and girls. Mr. Breach
deserves much credit for what he ha#
done to discover this talent and de
velop it t> but the city should also do
its imrt.* Why not an endowment

leys and others with outstanding;

pared by Professor R. L. Flowers, ,
treasurer, and -Dr. Frank O. Brown, |
controller, to be submitted to the
trustees of the Duke Foundation iu i
New York.
Several feature# in the plans are |
to be highly approved. The re-loca
tion of the new plant a mile ami a
quarter from the present site is to be
highly commended- To begin with, it j
will allow the opportunity for com
plete uuifyjmifUy in architecture,
something so sadly lacking in most
of our Southern institutions of learn
ing. iu addition to this, it allows
every facility fur putting into effect
a complete unified ideal in campus
development, for the new campus
will not be cramped for want of
space. The new site also, because of
its high elevation, gives the new de
velopment a beautiful and ideal tseU
ting for an academic atmosphere, re
moved from city ‘distraction#. ,
While of course buildings and
grounds are by no means all of an
institution of learning, they are a
highly important part of it and the
founders of the new university are to
be congratulated on the foresight
which their proposed plans indicate.

"Perhaps I didn’t.” Teddy ad

I will consider that I did."

called Mrs. Marks interjected; "If
she sees much of you, Teddy, she
probably will have enough to re
member of what you actually do
say, without being bothered with

“They don’t daJre, perhaps.” Pen

began, and broke off. “Pendleton

CHAPTER XV
Joanna Holds Her Own
It was not long before Lord Ted
dy had skilfully maneuvered Jo
■taae from the stone tea table In
M winter garden into a tete a
(Cte corner of the drawing room.
‘Never could stand Pendleton, you
know," he confided to her when he
had held a flame for her cigaret.
‘Can't see what Doris sees in him.
or he in her, for that matter. Can
you?”
“Is that how it ts?” Joanna in
luired. “You see everybody's fresh
to me, now 1 have to wait
for signs.” N ~-
Lord TeTsdy eyed her Intently
Fhe felt singularly at ease with this
exuberant young man. She laughed
it him brightly when he protested:
I‘Oh, really, now! You mustnrt pre

“po you know,” be observed,
moving from his chair to a place
tlose'r to her on the divan into
which she had settled, “I'm going
lo be terribly fond of you before
long.”
“Yes, I’m sure of that.” she in
formed him. -“’I can see the signs.
Anyhow, teachers« always are.
iren't they? But you were saying?"
“About Pen-marks? It’s ‘Mrs.’
Marks, of course. “You’ll probably
see the other part of her tomorrow

“I’ll probably be here, but 1 don’t

“Yvonne's giving something or
other; usual thing Doris will be

i bad sort, but a bit empty. She
tnd Pea will be miserable trying
to keep up appearances. It’s
beastly, cl course, for anybody to
lave husbands and wives about, but
these two moon about U so openiy
they're delightful.”
“Is he —married, too?”
“Profoundly! He has to be more
mrreptitioas than any husband I
know. Yoa’ll be fearfully amused
by the two of them. Pen and Doris,
when you're used to them. They're
siways about someplace tor tea.
Phat'a why I really was clever, you
know!"
“And It doesn’t make any differ
ince—to anybody? To their friends,
Jke Miss Coutant, and people who
know of the hnsbatid and wife.”
Lord Teddy examined the girl be
side him deliberately. He noted
all the distinguishing patterns of
her. 31s eyes dwelt particularly
(or an Instant that barely could
have been measured, on a smartly
silken knee, hardly yet escaped
trom the angular sharpness that is

of a modlsbiy meager dress. His

tnsly upon her month, that was al
most round because of tbe full,
scarlet curving of'the lower lip and
the deep, perfect bow of the upper
one — e splash of color as ts some
>ne had crushed a red rose there.
She knew what he was doing. She
felt hi* eyey wherever they rested.
Not a muscle 6f her twitched, but
the wae conscious o< an exquisite

you couldn't be wholly successful.
When a woman has had so much

the moon for her, then she has to

Joanna regarded him elaborately,
frankly imitating his own examina
tion of her a moment before. “Yes,”
she said, her inscrutable smile
playing upon him. "Then yon have
away with you—as a teacher. 1
suppose you’ve a diploma, or some
good references, or things like
that?” His ready laughter bubbled
through his mask of seriousness.
"Only experience, my lovely Jo

session of it with both of his own.
"My experience will have to be your
guide, and yours my ambition.”
When he finished he gave her
limp, fragile fingers a confidential
pressure, and looked intef her own
shining eyes with a deep smoulder
in his. She seemed to be uncon
cerned about her band. She even
moved her knee, a little, to help
him out down the space between
them. She said, then:
“We seem to be making a bargain
of some sort. When you happen to
think about It, tell ms what it-is
won’t you? The best I can get out
of it is that you want to be a guide
and you've ambitions of some kind.
1 like ambitions tremendously. It’s
so much fun flattening them out!”
“Yes.” he admitted. “You'd flat

imagine. You wouldn’t be afraid of
missing anything. That’s why I’d

at him. "I know,” she finished for
him. “If I’d give you my other

rest of the distance between us.
Then you could tell me just how
pretty you think I am, and how

then you'd end up by saying I was
Just made for somebody to love a
lot and you’re somebody. Have I
forgotten anything?"
“Not a thing," he declared.
“When do we begin?”
This time they laughed together
buoyantly. Joanna decided she was
going to enjoy this fair haired,
ebullient young man whose chief
aim in life, according tfe Yvonne,
was consoling neglected wives. He
was amazingly handsome, as easily
read —to her —as an open book, and
sbe was convinced, utterly barm
less. Yvonne’s picture of him pua
sled her. She conclqded he would

ready she was becoming accus

though he wasn't is years. She
was astonished, secretly, at her
own ability to be Interesting to men

prenticeships at more dM*Hng
shrines than her's.
She wae still disturbed by that
ready supposition of bis at their
sudden meeting earlier in the after
noon. She reminded him of tt again,
and‘declared that she wouldn't be
satisfied with him until he had
made satisfactory explanations. He
was not abashed.
“Toni were such a surprise," he
assured her. “Not at all llhe the

fix yourself a drink on your way
out.”
When he was gone Yvonne and
Joanna took up the ’important’ mat
ters of the mocrow; the automobile,
ttp chauffeur—“l’ll find you one,”
Yvonna agreed and a desceat
upon a famous jewelry house.'
“’there'll be a crowd here tomor
row night,” Yvonne explained.
"That’s what Teddy was referring
to. I’m making it a big crowd in
your honor. I’d already planned a
night of it, but I’ve elaborated for
you. You’ll meet everyone and
they'il meet you. I'll have an un
married senator and two married
ones, without their wives; a few ex
iled Russian princes, and a smat
tering of their princesses. You’ll
like the Russian girls. Some South
Americans who will make you
think, always, of sapphires or black
diamonds, and everybody who’s in
love with me or wants to ho-
That’ll make a representative party.
I’m keen to know how you'll like
it—the crowd I mean. Between

Joanna looked up sharply at th*
mention of Brandon and Kenil

Yvonne's tone as/she pronounced
the names. She Wanted to ask her

all means,” Yvonne insisted,
shrewdly "I fancy bp is a young
man who will require handling. If
you oontinue to be concerned about
him. Shall you —be much con
cerned about him?”
Tbe suddeness of the challenge
caught Joanna off her guard. Bhe
dropped her eyes. All at once she
was conscious that her libs were
quivering, and that she was con
cerned. R wasn’t quite straight jn
her mind, but She had put away
something Teddy .Dormlnster had
said for later consideration, and it
came back to her, pow, a little
confusedly. “She was

background. And you haven't been
spoiled.”
She wondered why John had not
understood as well as Teddy Dor

she said to Yvonne, “that I’ll go
around hunting sad music I"
