NOT A TIT-FOR-TAT POLICY. The Charlotte Observer indicates that the people of Cabarrus aud Stan ly counties. in its j opinion, have adopted a tit-for-tat policy in regard to road matters. Cabarrus will not pave a road Stanly wants paved, so Stanly will not pave a road Cabarrus wants paved, says the Charlotte pa per. The Observer editorial was prompt ed by a recent editorial in this paper, in which we suggested that something should be done to make the road from the Cabarrus line to Albemarle safer. We did not complain because the Stanly people have uot paved the road for the benefit of Cabarrus peo ple. We did not consider the matter from a local standpoint. We were talking about making the highway safe, not for Cabarrus people but for people in general. It never occurred to. us that the people of Stanly were holding back in this matter because Cabarrus lias not paved the eight miles on five Albemarle-Oharlotte road. We have given Stanly people credit for being above such pettiness. . “But what can Commissioner Wil kinson do about it ?' asks the Obser ver after stating that the road across Cabarrqs js dirtier and therefore more dangerous than the road from the Ca ‘ Ljjartus line to'Albemarle. It might •JhNtcur to the Observer that he could '*#(].( just as he did when he built that i road. It was not built at the sugges tion of Cabarrus people. It was built under the pretense of shortening the route across State, and it was built * over the protest of a majority of the Cabarrus county people who under stand the State road law to authorize the construction of hard-surfaced ' roads between contiguous oouaty seats. || If Mr. Wilkinson bad authority to build that road why can’t he use the J same authority to have it hard-sur -1 faced? If we are going to build State high-1 * ways along all the short-euts in the ~ State Cabarrus would like to ask for I;, the paving of the road from Concord to Caldwell Station, a road that of fers the most direct route to the mountains from this section of tire State. This road would connect the * county seats of Cabamis and Iredell. There would bp no conflict because of the fget that the rood crosses Meckleubuvg county for several miles, ", for under the meaning of the law con strued in the Charlotte-Albemarle highway this is permissible so long as the road is being shortened. I I; There is no tit-for-tat policy in this matter between the Cabarrus and Stanly people so far as we have been > ahfr to learn. Certainly we were not Idling the' Stanly people to tnsk in any sense ' of retribut : on. We have never eeuapred Stanly because the road to Charlotte W#« paved and the mad to Conrord was not paved. That p in * matter for the Stanly jieople to deride. Nor are we willing to believe I that the people of Stanly are satisfied , | with the road to the Cabarrus line I just because the lower Cabarrus road j has not been pared. We know the 1 pieople of Cabarrus have never looked ;at the matter in this light and we j find it impossible to. believe the Stan i !y people have. , We want to ask the question again, however —why can’t Mr. Wilkinson pave the Cabarrus road? As a mat ter of fact, why can’t he pave them 1 both T If he had the authority to say the road from Albemarle to Char lotte was to be bailt, regardless of the attitude of Cabarrus, why can’t he make it safe? OUR MOTOR BILL. The Bureau of Industrial Technol ogy reports that the aggregate motor car bill of North Carolina for the year 1925 was approximately $240,- 000.000. It is explained that this in cludes every expenditure of every sort connected with motor ears—in vestments in new and second-hand cars, gas, oil, repairs, licenses, taxes, and so on. The University News Letter goes further and gives us some idea of just what $240,000,000 is. It finds that it is more than the gross income from the three great crops of the State —cotton, tobacco and corn, com- i bined. It exceeds the bonded debt of 1 the State government by more than a i hundred million dollars. It exceeds I the bonded debt of the 100 counties 1 and 219 cities and towns all com- ’ bined. It exceeds by a few millions the combined value of all public school ■ property, all Church property, all ele mentary institutions, plus the entire authorized bonded debt of $85,000,000 for state highways. “It might be ar gued," says the News Letter, “that a State which can spend such a vast sum on motor cars in one year is a rich State, at least rich enough to af ford what it wants.” That’s the truth too. We can get what we want but we hate to what we don’t want. We are spend ing $240,000,000 a year for our autos and their upkeep, and yet we yell and complain every time taxes are raised a penny to increase educational or road facilities in Ihe various eoun ties. ' 1 ROOF OF A CHURCH IS RAZED BY STORM t Pmeville Section is Hit Hard By Wind and Rain; Speedway Dam aged. Chu rlotte Ofcscrver. Half the roof of the Presbyterian church at I’ineville was lifted off by a windstorm that imescri over the village und so much damage war done to the interior by failing npi bers, brick, a heavy rain, debris from the collapsed roof timbers that the congregation was uncertain jester whether to rebuild the structure or plan a new one. This tvas only one- of the mani festations of a severe storm that swept, over the southwestern part of 1 the county- More than $3,000 damage was | done to the Sam Neely farm near I’ineville. The roofs were taken off two small 1 barns and two small tenant houses on this farm. On this farm and others adjoining there was much damage : from hail, it was reported by people t front that section in Charlotte yes terday. The rain and wind storm did ap- , proximately $1,500 dumagge to the , which will be held at Pensacola, Fla., at an early date.

The House of a Hundred Sorrows The following is the editorial which won the Pulitzer prize for 1925. It was written by E. M. Kingsbury and was printed in the New York Times December 14, 1925: The walls are grimy and discolored. The uneven floors ereak and yield un der foot. Staircases and landings arc rickety and black. The door of ev.- ery room is open. Walk along these corridors. Walk into this room. Here is a sickly boy of 5. deserted by his mother, underfed, solitary in the awful solitude of starved, neglected childhood. "Seldom talks.” Strange, isn’t it? Some, many children, nev er “pr*tt!e ( ” like your darlings. They are already old. They arc full, per haps, of long. hopeless thouglfts. There are plenty of other “kids” in this tenement. Here is one, only three. Never saw his father. His mother spurned aud abused him. He is weak and “backward.” How wick ed of him when he has been so en couraged and coddled ! Doesn’t know any games. How should he? Do chil dren play? Not his kind. They live to suffer. In room 24 is Rose, a housemother of 10. Father is in the hospital. Mother is crippled with rheumatism. Rose does all thg work. You would love Rose if she came out of Dickens. Well, there she is, mothering her mother in room 24. In room 20 age has been toiling for youth. Grand mother has been taking care of three granddaughters who lost their moth er. A brave old woman; but what with rheumatism and heart weakness, three seore-nnd-teu can’t go out to Dr. Norris “Double Dares” Convention to Put Him O^it Houston, Texas. May 13.—Attempts to revive the discussion of evolution before the Southern Baptist conven tion today were featured by the first appearance of Dr. J. Frank Norris, i Forth Worth pastor, and leader of an anti-evolution faction whose head quarters is in a tent near the hall. Dr. Norris—came into the conven tion hall to ask about his status as as messenger under the new rules of representation which demand that messengers be "members of a church iti co-operation with its local asso ciation or state convention.” l)r. George W. McDaniel.. presi dent of the convention, told Dr. Nor ris the application was general and the minister left the hall “daring” the j convention to oust him and branding I t*je convention’s stand on evolution as an abstract condemnation. A lesser evolution ripple came in the afternoon when Dr. Gordon Hurlbut, pastor of the First Baptist (’hatch of Hot Springs, Ark., rose to a question of personal privilege. He asserted that while he was not an evolutionist he could not support the convention’s action yesterday be cause he did not believe the conven tion could bold a club over the bead of any man who is dis|s>sed to ac cept any theory as to scientific hy pothesis, Conscience, Hlone. he said, impelled him to make the statement. It occasioned no continent. The con vention is on record as believing that man is the creation of God alone. Three Reports Are Mode After these ripples, the convention started its machinery again. Three reports were put in the hopper. Dr. J. F. Love, of Richmond, eor res)>ondin* secretary of the foreign mission board, told the convention that 1.215 churches with a member ship of 140,488 are now embraced in the mission field. It has also 929 mission schools with 36.983 pupils and has distributed more than 3,000.- 000 pieces of literature. Its work has been carried on. the report said, on an income of $2,278,225.59, exclusive of borrowed money. Meanwhile, also, it recited, the debt of the boßrd to banks has been reduced to $787,136.- 33. President L. R. Scarborough re ported a deficit of $42,000 in the op erating expenses of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary at Fort Worth and President B. D. REFORMED CHURCH CHASSIS St. Matthews Church, Near IJncoln ton. (Jets Next Meeting.—CoUrgr Report Heard. Lexington. May 13.— St. Matthews Reformed Church, near Lincolnton, was voted as the meeting (dace for the 1927 sessions of the Classis of the Reformed Church in North Caro lina. now in session at Hedricks Grove, six miles east of this city. The Lincoln church won over Zion, of Lenoir, which also extended an in vitation. It was in an arbor at St. Matthews that Carawba College was conceived seventy-five ears ago. One of the features of the second day’s session was the report of the college, now at Salisbury, presented by Dr. R. R. Hol;e, president. In its first j;ear 129 students were enrolled. ThK insti tution is a standard college nnd Its financial status was reported most en couraging. Last night Elder Joseph 8. Wine, treasurer of home mi.seions for the Reformed Church, preached on the Winning of America for Christ. Great I progress was reported in home tnis , sions, the board having received more than $1,500,000 since the geueral I synod at Hickory in 1923. Rev. . Frank L. Fesperman, missionary to Jupan, told of the progress in that . field. A double quartet from the > Maughtown church had charge of . the music for the evening. Today the reports ;on education, • missions, ministerial relief, education apd other objects were presented and | discussed. The reports were opti mistic In tone.

"Naked, and ye clothed me: I las sick aud ye visited me: I was in pris on, and ye came unto me.” t Dement presented a request for-an i appropriation of $102,500 for jthe ■ year. The report on business efficiency embracing budget control for Con vention finances, was recommitted to the committee with instruction* to publish it for two months preceding the next convention and again i re port it. The co-operative program report, recommending $9,000,000 as the oh jeotivo of Southern BapAots,. for all purtmses next j-ear was adopted and action on tho report of the commis sion on representation was delayed for a year. Norris “Double Dareo.” j Tile Norris ripple was brief but 1 full of fire. In a statement afterlie had finished with the gathering he “dared aud double dared” the oon veution to exclude him from its ses sions. A little later he and Dr. George Ragland, of Lexington, Ky.: Dr. T. J. Shields, of Toronto, Can ada. announced a protest meeting in their tent. “The protest is held against steam roller and gag rule methods,” -Dr. Norris, said. “We want to ask in tones which every Raptist in Amer ica shall hear, whether ‘Baptists shall condemn evolution and protect evolutionists'?” The statement apparently was ill res|>on*e to the action of the eofi vention just previously in refusing to hear a memorial censuring I)r. E. Mullins, of Louisville, und two college professors for their teach ings ami writings on evolution. Dr. Norris apparently took it frtf granted that the convention was not in sympathy with 'aim. , “I openly dare them to oust ate from the convention which is the only purpose in that change of title 1 asked about,” he said. “I double dare them to do it. I won’t swallow t'iieir whole animal. I won’t swallow their budget and I won’t swallow their schools. It's the hair of the animal that makes me siek. By what they thought to be a smool'.i trick, they thought yesterday they had side tracked the question of evolution." This portion yf the statement re ferred to t'te at tion of the conven tion yesterday in its stand on evolu tion. It declared Uiut man is the work of God and rejected all other theories of the origin of mankind. DUKE ANNOUNCES FINALS SPEAKERS Senator Robinson to Deliver the Ad dress and Dr. E. F.

The conferees accepted this amend ment in general, but substituted the word "authorized” for the Senate’s term “directed/’ While this change in verbiage weakens the mandment, it is expected that the results will be the same.
