REGISTERINcTcOMPLAINTS. "Wish you would jump on so and so about such and such a thing," is a general way of putting an expres sion with which every editor is fa maliar. Often we wonder if there is a newspaper anywhere that goes very long without hearing it. Some folks think that if their neighbor's chickens bother them or if the cook hasn't shown up some morning the proper place to register a kick is through the columns of the newspa per. There are many community com plaints which need to be mentioned in the local newspaper. Many probems which properly belong to the town as a whole should be discussed through the paper, which is in very truth a public servant, ready and willing at all times, if it is the right kind of a newspaper, to stand for what i3 right and for the best interests of the community. The point we would make, however, is that some of the complaints that are registered in a newspaper office could often be remedied without go ing into print. ,Often folks come to the newspaper with fault-finding of the town authorities when they could have the correction made if they would take the trouble to talk to the proper official about the matter. A newspaper should not degenerate into a nagging institution always complaining of little things here and there that might be corrected by oth er means. STATE BONDS The State is offering for sale $8, 372,500 'in bonds, pledging the full faith, credit and taxing power of North Carolina to pay them.; The money to be derived from the sale of these bonds - will be used in building roads and for . educational and char itable institutions. They may be brought in denominations as low as 100. Not only do these bonds furnish a good investment they bear 5 per cent interest and are non-taxable but to buy them is to render the State a patriotic service. "Buy a bond" is a good slogan just now. moreheAd to pass UPON APPOINTMENTS DR. McCAMPBELL IN CHARLOTTE Charlotte Observer. Prominent citizens of Morganton who are in the city are Dr. John MeCamnhelL Mrs. McCamnbell and their splendid young son, Master John Laldwell aicuampeeii. iney are guests of the Selwyn. They made the trip in their car and will return to Morganton today. Dr. McCairpbell .has been superin tendent of the State Hospital for about 25 years. He is known throughout the South as one of the ablest and most successful men in a similar position in the South. He was associated with the late Dr. Murphy, the first superintendent of the State Hospital, intimately, and was Dr. Murnhv's first assistant, 'and during the Doctor Murphy's long illness was practically superintendent. He was elected superintendent immediately folowing Dr. Murphy's death by the board of which the late J. P. Cald well was president for 25 vears. There was no man whom Mr.' Cald well esteemed more highly than Dr, McCampbell. He was devotedly at- i ear and ls J0 be"e understood tached to Dr. and Mrs. McCampbell. i 1S exPected that the attendance will tached to Dr. and Mrs. McCampbell. Under Dr. McCamnbell's snlendid administrative hand the hospital has gone forward in every line of pro gression in physical growth, in scientific treatment, and in general care of that unfortunate class of North Carolina's citizenship housed in the Hospital. Mrs. McCampbell has been Doughton Tells" North Carolina Democrats to Expect Noth ing From Republicans. Writing from Washington July 11, H. E. C. Bryant says: "The post master general and his assistants have created the impression that they will consider the recommendations of Democratic congressmen in the selec tion of postmasters to take the place of those holding: offices advanced from fourth to third place the men and women in the fourth "class offices secured their position by. Through the civil service commission, fjipv are entitled to hold them after their offices have been advanced. Recently the members of the house from North Carolina received letters asking them to assist the department in getting a correct line up on those holding these places. Now it turns out that John M. Morehead, Republican committee man of North Carolina has been asked to pass upon all of these posi tions. " 'We all know what that means,' said Representative Doughton today, -we mignt as well look out for a strict Republican line up. I have told my people to expect nothing at the hands of the Republican leaders; that is about the way others feel.' " TRAINING FOR WOMEN Charlotte Observer, 11th.

He understands machinery just as the average boy does baseball or football, and there are few subjects upon which he cannot converse. He is just ten years old. "We should plant a row of trees down Green street, four or .five in each of the grass plots in the center of the street," was the suggestion of a good citizen to The News-Herald the other day. We quite agree with him, in fact we have mentioned it several times before, but it is just one of those things that we keep de laying in getting done.

Mark Twain was editor of a Missouri newspaper a superstitious subscriber wrote him that he had found a spider in his paper, asking him if it was a sign of good or bad luck. The humorist replied: "Old Subscriber: Finding a spider in your newspaper was neither, goor or bad luck. This spider was looking over The Uplift asks: "Is young Avery, who has been writing some very clev er paragraphs over the signature of "Rambler" in The Morganton News Herald, a kinsman-of the late Isaac Avery?" And adds: "If he doesn't mind he'll be drafted from old Mor ganton." Young Johnston Avery is a nephew cf the lamented' Isaac Erwin Avery. and has evidently inherited, from his uncle the gift of expression and a sense of humor that make his writings pleasing. Lenoir is the latest town in the neighborhood to join in the weekly half holiday plan for 'the .trades peo ple. Lenoir stores, it is announced, will close at one o'clock each Thurs day afternoon during July and Au gust. Hickory and Gastonia are al ready doing it. Why can't Morgan ton follow suit? It will be a decided advantage to Morganton to have the Central High way go in a direct line, through the town instead of making several turns as it now does. The new survey will give a direct road into town from the west and will cut off some of the cistance. it will be much less fusing to the traveling public. con- We have waited long for the open ing of the Icard underpass but it is an accomplished fact now.

Farmers are beginning to advertise, for at some period of the year, every farmer has something to sell.
