* 'Eighty Dollars and Cost.
An unusual action in cuurt'here
was that t>y which Judge Lyon at
the instance of Solicitor Norris
imposed a penalty of eighty dol
lars and costs on oue of the most
prominent citizens and bankers of
the State" The penalty was im
posed because the gentleman was

more.

BIG THINGS BEING DONE
IN NORTH CAROLINA-
The Story as Told by a Great Paper.
Manufacturers' Record.
Rhode Island with G9 percent
leads the nation in foreign stock.
North Carolina leads the nation at
the other end of the line with only
seven-tenths of one percent of
foreign stock. North Carolina is
one of the most prosperous states
of the Union.
• It is developing, industrially,
commercially and agricnlturally,
with amazing rapidity.
It is probably one of the most
law-abiding states in the Union,
and its courts enforce the laws,
without fear or favor.
It is carrying forward a cam
paign of college and university
Extension involving the expendi
ture of six or seven million dollars
at present lor new buildings and
having $20,000,000 as the ultimate
plan of this campaign.
Some $12,000,000 was expended
and voted for public "Jucation in
t.'io single year June 30, 192L,t0
July 1, 1922, in that state.
It is putting $50,000,000 or more
into highway improvements.
It is enormously expanding its
hydro-electric developments and
its cotton mill interests, and yet
it is doing this with less than 1
per cent of foreign stock, an un
answerable proof of the fact .that
this nation can carry forward its
material development and expand
every interest which makes for
the betterment of humanity with
out any great influx of foreigners.

Boston Transcript Riddles
G. 0. P. Claims on Congress
Washington Correspondence.
Dissent from the. Republican
claims of victory iu the November
electious is voiced by the Boston
Transcript, ancient protagonist of
Republicanism iu New Engh ud,
iu a long editorial published iu its
issue of Oct. 7. The Transcript
doubts and Scouts the assertions
of John T. Adams, chairman of
the Republican National Commit
tee, that the Republicans will con
trol the House of Representatives
iu the next Congress. It says:
"According to figures given out
by Mr. John T. Adams, chairman
of the Republican National Com
mittee, the Republican members
of the House are so well satisfied
with themselves that of the 298 no
fewer than 2o l J have sought re
election and of these 230 have
been renominated. Those who
failed to secure denominations
were defeated, we are told,
through local causes. Therefore,
it is argued, the party ut large is
well satisfied with the work of its
representatives in Congress and
desires (their return."
The Transcript then declares
that it a Republican majority is
elected "it would be most regret
table" to have it- "similar in
quantity and quality with that in
the present Congress." This Re
publican paper doubts, however,
that there is a prospect of the Re
publican triumph that Chairman
Adams pretends to foresee, for,
the Transcript continues, "it is
impossible to disguise the fact,
and folly to ignore it, that impa
tience and dissatiifaction with its
(the Republican Congress) con
duct have been widespread and
deep, and entirely too strong to be
quickly abandoned and replaced
by contrary sentiments of ap
proval."
One of the Transcript's reasons
for not anticipating or desiring
a Republican majority is given
in these sentences in its edi
torial.
"The overwhelming Republican
victory of two years ago swept
into the House men who never ex
pected to get there, whose election
had not been expected when they
were nominated, aud who were
inexperienced and unfiO That
such men cau genferally be re
elected after two years' trial, is
beyond reasonable bounds of ex
pectancy."
Democrats Blocked Foreign
Debt Concellation.
Washington Correspondence.
Republican organs, speaking
apparently from Presidential in
spiration, are giving almost daily
assurances that the Harding ad
ministration can't, shan't, and
won't cancel the foreign debts.
These reassurances are super
fluous in view of the laws passed
by Congress on the subject of the
debts, their term and the rate of
interest to be paid by the debtors.
But they provoke questions. Why
all the vociferations from the
White House? Who has bet n
pressing the administration to
caucel the dehts? What leads the
advocates of cancelation to suj>-
pose that this policy would me»t
with approval in official quarters?
One thing remains perfectly
fresh in the public mind. That
is that tho administration fought
fiercely for a law that would have
permitted the President and the
Secretary of the Treasury to work
their own will and way in the mat
ter and manner of collecting, de
ferring, reducing, refunding and
forgiving these billions of debts.
Only the insistence of Democrats
explains tho present law, which
limits the maturity of the loans
and fixes a minimum rate of in
terest on t'jem.
Is it the recollection of the ad
ministration's former attitude that
has led some one to believe that
its official representatives would
cancel the debts if they could?

I
—Working for Re-election, of Re
publican Congressmen.
Washington Correspondence.
Washington, October 17.—Tim)
[United States Steel Corporation,
commonly and accurately kuo.vn
as the "Steel Trust," has actively j
entered the present Congressional i
campaign in behalf of the Repub
can party by reprinting and broad-!
| casting a speech by Reprcsenta-1
tive Will. li. Wood of Indiana,!
Chairman of the Republican Con-1
gressional Campaign Committee, j
The subject of Republican Chair
man Wood's speech is: "United;
States Steel; A Corporation with j
a Soul." (laughter.)
The speech is a fulsome eulogy
of the Steel Trust, delivered by|
Mr. Wood in tiro House- of.Rep-j
reseutatives on June 23 last, 1 1r]'
which he compares the Steel-
organization to that of vLx gi . • "
eminent of the United Stale.'., ile;
might have gone further and j
stated that sometimes the Steel!'
Trust in it's exercise of power e.\- j
ceeds that of iae United States, I
certainly with respee! to the Cla\«
ton law and the Sherman law I
concerning unfair competition and ,
monopoly.
Sineo Mr. Wood's eulogy was
delivore.l the Federal Trade Com-j
mission > as declared that the pr j
posed steel. merger would be a,
violation of law, constituting an |
unfair method of competition and I
tending to create a monopoly.
This followed the passage of a
Senate resolution for an inquiry,
in oo the .proposed merger.
Since Republican Chairman'
Wood's eulogy, the steel Trust
has advanced prices of lails S3 to
s•l3 a ton, while the average price
of fourteen leading steel products
has advanced more than $8 a ton j
since last February.
This beneficent, pliilanthrophic
Trust (renewed laughter) isouo"'l
1,000 corporations which mauej
more than $19,000,000,900 during
the war after paying excess profits
taxes. The Republican Congress
of which Chairman Wood is a
shining lit,ht, lias since relieved
these corporations and others,
which made all told $30,000,000,-
000 during the war, of their ex
cess tax. Fifty repre-j
of the steel industry
have also had the high honor of
dining at the White House to dis
cuss the .question of why they
work their employes twelve hour ,
per day.
It. should be remembered that'
Chairman Wood represents a Con
gressional district, in which the
main plant of the Steel Trust isj
located. Whether the eirctila! ion
of Chairman Wood's speech by!
the Steel Trust is to,further the
proposed steel Buerger, which Mr v
Wood highly approves, or whether
it is to express gratitude for die
relief of its excess profits taxes,;
or whether it wishr s to continue 1
'in Congress such a powerful friend
and advocate as the Chairmau of
the Republican Congressional
Committee, is a matter of opinion.
HERE'S PROOF
A Graham Citizen Tells ol UN t

You have a right to doubt uU.-
ments of people liviog far awa\ l>\t
can you doubt a Graham audorVc
ment ?
Read it:
A. T. Webster, i'cplar Strict,
Graham, says: "1 suffered se
verely from pains acr.x.rt th » small
of my back and there v.'as a KOI--
ness through my kidneys. i"I»-» kid
ney secretions were unnatural, too. ,
Finally I used Doans Kidney Pills
and soon was much better i every.,
way. I have had brt little in j
in my b;?k since a i t tin kj 1/tey ;
secretions have claared up."
Over ten years later Mr. Webster!
added, '"I would :j ji bo' with .Mt j

CuUurc and Agriculture.
; George W. Russell.
Our difficulties are largely
p> etiological, that is, it is not so
much neurit! material 'circum
> fauces as fixed ideas, antiquated
nations and prejudices we have to
; counter.
Farmers have 4ad the idea that
jotlser professions require educa
tion but agriculture does not,
! whereas in cality 110 industry re
'quires more education than agri
culture, aud there aro few where
a real knowledge pays tho holder
jofit so well. We do not believe
! oneTariner iu a.tfhousand in Ire
j land sends his son to an
1 ttiral college.' lie lots him pick
'up his knowledge 011 the farm and
I does not realize, as in Denmark
are! G'-n any, that a special agri
|i iltunij education is regarded as
necessary.
Farming is an intellectual pro
fession, far more so than clerk inu
or shopkeeping, or indeed tliij.ii
most professions, and in that
sense it is level with medicine,
jsurgery, engineering, where the
i ruan" who practices receives a
I severe technical training.
Agriculture to be really success
ful requires a special education,
and it pays if the education is ol
the right kind aud tho man who
! receives it is competent.

Priority of Sailing Vessel.
An mi lent law of the sea held the
big White Star liner Homeric ut tier
pier tor nearly an hour, the other day,
after the starting signal hnd sounded,
and the old stilts of the harbor front
were greatly Interested and excited. A
little Nova Scotia schooner, with
enough lumber abonrd to make severul
boxes of matches, had elected to save
towing fees and come into the harbor
under sail, writes the New York cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Tlmes
i Star. The wind veered to an unfa
vorable quarter Just as the schooner
was off the While Star pier, anil It
was necessary for the little vessel to
tack for 20 minutes before she could
give the big vessel a clear course.
Meanwhile, the Homeric, with tlldu
snnds of passengers aboard and a cargo
worth millions, was stuck at her moor
ings. The old an.l enduring law of"
the sea is that a nailing vessel mov
ing without a tug, I.as the right of
way at all times over any steamship.

'ANG OF REAL ADVENTURE
Daring Ocean'* Perils in Tiny Crafl
Will Appeal to All With Romance
In Their Blood.
Small oraft that dare the perila
of the Atlantic are always interest
ing, remarks the Chicago Daily
News. The yacht Diablesse, which
has just arrived at Bermuda after a
four weeks' sail from Cowed via
Madeira, is only 52 feet over all.
With the trade winds behind her she
averaged 180 knots a day until the
Sargasso sea compelled drifting in
the heat-for a week. The ship's
C9mpany of five persons then
amused themselves with fishing.
Such an adventure, so much more
romantic than crossing the sea in a
steel giant, appeals to everybody who
likes the smell of brine. If the news
of it gets to other and better worlds

COLD COMFORT FOR ACTOR
Super's Expressed Willingness to
Carry Out His Part of Contract
Didn't Help Bruises.
W. C. La id law of the Kansas
Farmers' union said during the
agricultural conference in Washing
ton :
"When people try to tell me that
the middleman l\eips tho farmer, I
tell them in return tjTe story of the
fat actor.
"A fat actor had to jump from a
12-foot cliff to a piece of ground
that was hidden behind the .scenes,
so he gavo a brawjjy super a quar
ter to be there to catch liim as he
landed. /
'the time came for the fat
actor to feap," and, looking and see
ing that the super was on the spot,
he sprang carelessly into tho void,
as if the 12 feet were no more to
him than 12 inches.
"Down he sailed swiftly through
the air and—crash! he struck tho
hard floor with terrible impact. Foj
tho super, stepping back, had failed
him.
'"Why didn't you catch me?' he
moaned, when he could speak.
"'I wanted to,' said the super,
'but you didn't bounce.'"
MICHJGAN LEADS IN PARKS
Michigan now has 23 state parks,
which is more than umy other state,
New York and Pennsylvania ex

number. The total area of these 23
parks is greater than the area of the
j>arks of other states exclusive of
several western states where there
are National parks like the Yellow

of the Empire state and the Key

state park, 320 acres, is on Burt
lake, near Indian river, Cheboygan

SHE DIDN'T KNOW
A well-known c iductor was con
demning a musical critic.
"When I read his criticisms," said
he, "it makes me think of a young
woman for whom I once pluyed
'The Moonlight Sonata' on tho
piano.
"'I like that,' she said* when I
had finished. 'lt's new, isn't it?"
"'Why,' I said, 'it's Beethoven.
Surely you knew Beethoven was
dead !'
" 'No,' said the young woman. 'I
didn't even know he was ill.'"

LAUGH AT MUNICIPAL ORDERS'
Men and Women of Zurich, Switzer
land, Refute to Recognize Sep
arate Bathing Division*.
An attempt by the municipality
of Zurich to prevent mixed bathing'
has failed, according to the Geneva
correspondent of the London Daily,
Express. They built a swimming
bath on -the edge of the lake and
erected a dividing screen of boards
six feet high down the middle—one
division for women, the-other for
men.
Fathers and mothers refused to bej 11
separated, and as the men could 1 1
reach the women's division by swim-' j'
ming under the screen they bathed
together.
The officials protested and there; j
were daily scenes. The police were l
called in, but found it difficult to 1
arrest a man in deep wijter. Uni-'ji
forms were splashed, women became i -
hysterical and were rescued splat- '
tering. The scandal reached the ears I'
of tlau municipality and the bath j,
was closed. n
After an official meeting, at which (
petitions from parents who wished 11
to teach their offspring how to swim i
were considered, the municipal au- 1
thorities have removed the objection- 1
