CL,* un der act of March 3rd, 1878. It might be a good idea for care less hunters to remember that every year some sportsmen are brought home on a board. It may be that if the railroads are shut down by a strike, the public will find out that the nation can get along without the carriers. There is one thing certain, if the democracies fight the autocrate states, they will know that they have the sympathy of the United States. Our sympathy goes out to the little taxpayer, staggered by the news that the Federal State and local govern ments owe something like $60,000, 000,000. Modern humor: Driver of automo bile which has just hit a pedestrain, sticks head out of car window and asks the victim, "Have you any in surance?" Any citizen who has had exper ience with the Courts, will tell you what he thinks about them. After he talks, you can tetT whether he won or lost his case. The trouble with working in a modern office is that just about the time you settle down to do some good hard work, somebody knocks at the door. Every citizen in Farmvilie ought to be willing to do some community work. However, as in other places, the bulk of public work falls on a few individuals. Meetings have been held in Martin County by the farm and assistant agent to explain how growers can secure maximum payments under the agricultural conservation program. The surrender of Bulgaria, Sep tember 29, 1918, started the end of the last World War; the surrender of Czechoslovakia by the British and French may be the beginning of a new struggle. We heard the story of a business man, the other day, who needed phe nomenal collections in order to meet certain obligations. Strange as it amy seem, he had phenomenal col lections. The difference between purges in the United States and those abroad is that in this country the President's opponents are still alive and, with one exception, holding their political jobs. Here's an idea: A woman in an ? Eastern state, incensed by a low-fly ing airplane, opened Hie with a shot gun, wounding the pilot This ought to be a hint to pilots of low-flying - planes. _ * 1 FREAK HURRICANE DEALS DEATH The tropical hurricane that laahed Near York and New England two weeks ago, earned many deaths and great damage struck heavily popu lated sections of the nation almost without warning. Originating somewhere in tho^U-j Untie Ocean, off the Florida Coaft, the storm was charted until it reach ed Cape Hatteras, off the coast of North Carolina, where it apparently curved out toward the sea. Subse quently, the storm, whirling at sev enty five miles an hour or more, changed its dfraetfen add" increased its travelling velocity from about ^if ' f teen to forty-five miles an hoar. This was UnaanaL .. / ? ^ The Weather Bureau, which at* .. tempts to want areas of the approach j .f? of hurricanes, had to depend upon 5 M ships at fsa for iafiwmatfan dboiS ?: 1 I J r YOUNG PEOPLE TO PAY PENSIONS The drive for old-age pensions is continuing in the United States. De spite the passage of the Social Se curity Act, which provides that the Federal Government will match the States' dollar-for-dollaxv up to $15 per month for every destitute old person in the land, various candidates in a number of states, have advocat ed schemes to provide more money for the older people of the nation. The original $200 a month, advo cated by Dr. Townsend for those over 60 years of age, is being freely al tered In some states the amount of money is reduced and in others, the age limit is lowered to include more voters. The idea of securing every month a sum of money from the na tional or state treasuries is very ap pealing to those who expect to get it. It is so simple. All that the voters have to do is to cast their ballots in favor of candidates who will vote in favor of such payments. Intelligent persons^ in the age group which will receive the pay ments, occasionally raise the ques tion as to where the funds are com ing from. There is the 2-cent stamp a week idea, the two per cent tax on gross incomes and various other schemes to get the cash. Briefly, all of them boil down to this, that the people of the United States, under the age at which pensions become ef fective, will have to dig up the money. They wr? have the bill to pay. It means that their standard of living will be lowered to the ex tent of their contribution in order that the standard of living for the favored class will be enhanced. Not only is there a widespread ad vocacy of pensions for those who are above 60 years of age, but plain in dications, as well, that the veterans of the World War have a general pension in mind. This general pen sion should not be confused with the care which the nation owes to those who suffered injury during their mili tary or naval service. It is not based on injury, but if successful, will give to all veterans of the great struggle a monthly sum from the Government Such pensions are another American custom, deriving its political strength from the number of beneficiaries. Those who expect to get the money are generally in favor of the pay ment Much of the burden for these pen sion payments, both those to older persons and veterans, will be made by young men and women who have come of age after the Great War ended. Few citizens of this county under the age of forty yean will share in the beneficence. They will make the payments. At a time when their own obligations in life are greatest and their struggle to secure a competence for themselves and their family probably the hardest, they will be asked to give of their income in order that favored classes will receive from the public treas ury. If everybody else in the country organized to promote their demands, it seems that the time has arrived for the organization of a group of voten to protect the people in this country who are under the age of the prospective beneficiaries. Alumni Officers Meet At Carolina Saturday Chapel Hill, Oct. 4. ? Officers and the board of directors of the Univer ity Alumni Association will meet Saturday morning, it was announced today by J. Maryon Saunders, sec retary of the association.

Wail Street'a week-old "peace" boom sent many stock* today to the highest prices quoted this year and echoed in trade reports of increasing activity since business was freed of the recent war restraints, Many hundreds of millions of dol lars were added to the billions in quoted security values restored to world exchanges since news of the four-power Munich conference a week ago worked magic in changing finan cial sentiment from gloom to renew ed hope. In Wall Street, a fresh surge of buying following a, pause yesterday lifted industrial shares on the aver age to the highest prices in about a year. The breadth of the buying, em bracing bonds and commodities as well as stocks, reminded observers of the spectacular mid-year upsurge, which stalled in July shortly before the gathering European war clouds began to worry Wall Streeters who had been buying securities in expec tation of business recovery. With the passing of the war crisis, various reminders of business re vival at home cropped up in the day's news, including: A Wall Street report that Youngs town Steel operations had increased further with the addition of two open hearth furnaces by Carnegie Illinois Steel and the lighting of a blast furnace by Republic Steel. A compilation of showing Sep tember engineering construction awards were the largest for any comparable period since 1929. Brisk demand for certain wax ma terials, including hides and rubber. A boost in the domestic price of copper to 10 1-2 cents a pound, up 1-8. Registration with the SEC of a $50,000,000 Firestone Tire and Rub ber bond issue in a revival of new corporate financing. Brokers attributed the resumption of buying in securities partly to overnight reports of optimistic busi ness" hopes expressed by a source close to the White House and to the support accorded the Daladier gov ernmenTT in the French Chamber of Deputies. EARTH SEARCHED FOR METEORITES Smithsonian Adds 70 To Collec tion In Year and Owns Half of Supply. Washington, Oct. 6. ? The Smith sonian Institution added 70 meteo rites to its collection during the past year and now owns more than half of the meteorites known to have struck the earth, it has announced. Meteorites added to the institution collection last year ranged in weight from a few grams to almost 90 pounds.' Ajmroximately 55 per cent of the "showing stars" were from foreign countries, although the stones recovered in the United States out weighed the important ones. The institution, said it was seek ing additional meteorites and would "reward the finders." "A rule-of-thumb way of suspect ing a peculiar stone to be a meteo rite is by noting its weight," the in stitution said. "Meteorites are all very heavy for their size, and much | heavier th?m the average rock on this earth, the reason being that they sometimes consist of an alloy of iron and nickel When the stony meteo rites are found they consist largely of heavy magnesium silicates and usually contain inclusions of the iron and nickel alloy. The iron alloy is attracted to a magnet or will influ ence a compass." ; The institution said meteorites are' rather difficult to find because fgn* ly a few of the shooting stars enter ing this atmospherf ever survive the ; "They are streamlined to extinc tion by the increasing friction of the atmosphere on their mad flight to earth," the report said. /'The - air acts as a brake apd greatly reduces the speed, but in doing so, .much of the outer saxface fe stripped away." ????
