In the death of Chief Justice Walter Clark Monday North Carolina loses one of her great est sons. Such a pity that th<> Po"'1, Mills star mail route could : ot have been established by the June primary. Little more than half gone, May has already brought us wind enough for an ordinary March. It's plain enough that adver tising pays, but what folks ne?-d to realize is that it pays the con sumer. Retrospect unci Prospect Time was when The Advance, with the alternatives of aban donment of Muscle Shoals or turning it over to Henry Ford for a century before it, favored acceptance of the Ford olfer, for the simple reason that this newspaper believed that accept ance of the Ford offer was the only way to save Muscle Shoals eventually for the people of thi3 country. Since other interests came forward with offers to take over the project, and with Government development and operation again a possibility, The Advance has been by no means certain of its ground. We know that we understand little of the relative merits of the va rious plans proposed, having been able to give any of them only the most cursory considera-j tion. We realize that if we could give our whole time and atten tion to^he two alternatives now before Congress, Government operation or acceptance of the Ford offer, we would be lost a maze of technicalities beyond! our comprehension. However, The Advance can understand quite clearly that the century from 1924 to 2024 may see as many changes as that from 1824 to 1924, and that within such a period the Muscle Shoals project may develop an entirely new significance. It would seem that 50 years would be long enough for a lease of Muscle Shoals if a lease is to be decided upon. NORFOLK PRODUCE At Jon In * Fffltrtn by ?FKNCR-HOMX>WRI/I, COMPANY.

Hughes Mr. Hughe, is a bond expert and analyst with many years' ac tive newspaper experience. Ev ery week day of the year he writes an interpretive dispatch from New York concerning the activi ties of the day in the bond mar ket. He has prepared this series of articles for Advance readers at the request of the Consolidated I'ress Association. KIGHTKHNTH ARTICLE Sn\ltig To llu\ A lloiuc. An lnve?ttnent frequently put up! to iuo is that of the youiiK couple' j who wish to own th?-ir own home.! I Some?imi's they have already saved la large part of the sum necessary to I build. Sometime* they ask about a I pi.iii for systematic saving with the, ! ultima!" Intention of buying or building. In I he latter case the! lanitH*r is easy. The bent way to' nave inonvy for this purpose Is tol I take out shares in a Kuotl local j building utnl loan association. Such ; a^.M.iions operate uuuer tin- laws ami Ay iii-rully under the supervl-j sion of ih?* bunking department of th?* prirt icuhir state in which they are located. i in* principle on which these asso claiioim are founded is thoroughly j sound. Th- best one in each case j 'Is th?* one doing business in your j [own particular neighborhood or In; I the neighl'orhord-!n which you ex-1 1 p?-ct to I?.ilid. If you have any dif ; ficulty about finding an association the person to consult is your banker either in t'ur tvings bunk or In the commercial bank in which you have an ; :io:.ujl. \Yh? ii. however, fbr one reason or another It is not desired to build for some years the question of how the money shall be invested meanwhile requires a different answer. Of course it Is easy to say that the fund should be put In a savings bank un til It is wanted and undoubtedly i this is the surest way. That Is what) savings hanks are for. Money in-i vested to their can* is always avail* 1 ahle. lint many are not satisfied ; with savings hank interest. They want a larger * return than 4 per cent and that is a perfectly legiti mate ambition. The trouble is too often they want to jump from the sure 4 per cent the savings bank pays to the uncer tain 7 or 8 or even more that some speculative or semi-speculative se-j rurity promises. Always they say they want safety llrst. The two things are not compatible. High re turns and a high degree of safety do not go together. Even when they are content to take good bonds there Is never any I assurance that they will be able to sell their bonds for the same price they paid when they are ready to build. That Is unless they buy bonds which mature about the time they expect to use the money. Bonds vary in price. Kven Libertya lluc tuute as conditions in the moneyj market change. This Is not an argument against 1 buying bonds in general. It is an argument against buying anything, but short term securities when you must have the return of your prin cipal at a specific time. Just now there is a great demand for short term bonds and notes. The quality varies in inverse ratio with the rate of return. Under present conditions 5 or 5 1-2 per cent is about all that the average small investor should demand. W//JU////0 Say?

TWO AHHAL'IVT OAHKH IN POLICE (X)I HT MONDAY Police court Monday was In ses-; aion until noon with two assault cases on tho docket. James Carter, colored, paid a fine of $25.00 and costs for an assault I on Robert Griffin, colored. He was I also put under a suspended road , sentence of CO days. Carter gave Griffin a deep slice on the arm, making It necessary for the latter to carry It in a sling when he appeared In police court Monday. Trial Jus tice Spence was disposed tft send Carter to the roads for the charge against him but owing to the fact that he was over 50 years old and had not been In court before, the court suspended the rond sentence upon good behavior for two years. For assault Harold Mullen and Willie Smith were fined $5.00 and cost*. Walter Combs and Willis White-j hurst, colored, were both taxed with, a fine of $5.00 and costs tor lndulg-[ ing In a game of chance. George Mullen and Charles Bar-' cllft, colored, paid fines of $5 and costs each for cursing on the street. F. W. Webster and James Cope land, colored, were each taxed with the costs for failure to display rear lights on tiieir automobiles. Carson Nixon, colored, was fined i $5 and costs for speeding. Lucius Holly, colored, who was tried last week by a Jury for illegal possession of whiskey and found guilty was given a sentence of three months on the roads, in addi tion to a suspended sentence of six months which automatically went Into effect upon his conviction.

Immediately following his gradua tion he was elected major of the Sixth Battalion of the Junior Re serves. then organized for active ser vice, and was shortly assigned to the duty of protecting the Roanoke River railroad bridge against a threatened cavalry raid. [ On July 4. 1864. the Sixth and ) First battalions were consolidated as the Seventieth regiment of North Carolina State troops land in the election of field officers Major Clark fwas chosen lieutenant colonel?the' [highest rank attained in either army I by a boy under eighteen years of age. However, upon a subsequent| voluntary reorganization of the com-; ifiand, perpetuation in university control; designed to accommodate) a supposedly temporary exigency.; both the colonel and lieutenant col onel moved back a grade, and it was as battalion commander that Major Clark completed bis military service. Col. Matt W. Ransom, and saw active service In the first Maryland and, Fredericksburg campaigns. In Feb ruary, 1863, the regiment having been detached from duty with the Ar my of Northern Virginia, Adjutant i Clark resigned for the purpose of From October, 1864, to the end, In May, 1865, the Stvmtitthe regi ment saw much bard and sanguinary service. In the course of which Major Clark and his gallant battalion won the warm admiration of the army command and of their fellow-in .arms for their high soldiership. I Major Clark began the study of lawyer, and afterwards attended the law at Chapel Hill, under Judge Wil liam H. Rattle. Upon his releas' ! from military service he resumed his studies in the office of a New York Columbian Law School. In Wmihlnc-i ton, D. C. Licensed In January. 1R67.1 he began the practice in Scotland Neck, but shortly removed to the county seat to accept a partncrshlo with Hon. J. M. Mullen.' Desiring a wider fl?*ld. he removed to Raleigh, In November, 1873, where he con tinued his active practice until Ap ril, 1885. when he was appointed by Governor Scales to the Superior Court bench for the Rah Uh district. The people elected him as his own, successor the following year. and he. continued in that service until trans-, furred to the Supreme Court in No vember. 1HN9. Attain. in the election of 1890. the people continued the Governor's appointment. H?* was un touched by the d?-luue of 1&9 4. since. I all parties had concurred in giving j him a full term in the position that he had therefore held to fill out th * unexpired term of Judtt** A. S. Merri nion. In the election of 1902 he was advanced to the Chief Justiceship, 'to which he was re-elected in 1910 and auain in 19IS. His present term will expire some months beyond the KOth anniversary of his birth, hull ' he is just about as uood for another term as a hen is for a shilling;. Judtt** Clark was public-miud?*d in , the widest acceptation of the term.] In the beginning of his profession:.;' career down in Halifax, it was per fectly natural that he should twice lead the forlorn hope of a Dfi.io ; cratic nomination in a county then casting about 2.500 Republican ma jority. It was equally natural for, him to fall into editorial writing ior Stone & l"fell's News when he re*! moved to the state capital. His capacity for work, and for monumental accomplishment in di verse tields of endeavor, is best d*-i scribed as Uooseveltian. Nature' rarely produces the man so versatib ; in ability, so Herculean in energy, that he could at the same time mark j his bigness on two such professions \ as law and Journalism?who couM hold down a man-sized job ou the j Supreme Court bench while he wa*i annotating law reports, editing Slate I Records and Regimental Histories, j writing political reviews and mono graphs for encyclopaedic text booKs. giving very capable attention to the more important phases of state poli tics. and doing half-a-dozen other things, any one of which would keep the avt'cage man's tongue hanging out?who can not only do all these things, but do them so easily that he never appears really busy nor shows the smallest strain of work. Roose velt could, and J-Jge Clark did: wo know of no others. In January. 1874, Judge Clark married Miss Susan Graham, only daughter of Hon. William A. lira ham. and several childien came to bless their union. Mrs. Clark died se\eral years aqo; and the hus'rand never remarried.
