L'iSili. —lt lie-ins to look liU'j the
cflort now injikiin !o inuueo the
Legislature to cliiingt* the law so
ns to provide thai. 111•» solicitor.--.
.. ol the several judicial (11-trie 11-
shall to pa ; il fixed amounts as
' salaries, instead of tees as at pres
ent, will l)o successful. Several
. Torts to accomplish this result
have beeu made iu the past, but
i
• this time the l>ar Association is;
behind the movement, which also
has as part of its plan the matterj
of providing more courts tor the
larger counties in which the prin
cipal cities are located.
One reason for tlio agitation of 1
jh > subject of solicitors' fees at
this time is the effect of newspaper
pubicity of excessive fees Chichi
• some solicitors are alleged to be
receiving under the present sys
tem, the statement being madej
that at least two solicitors receive!
fourteen thousand dollars a year!
aud none less than seven or eight
thousand. Oue solicitor was
credited recently with drawing!
eleven hundred dollars for lessj
than a week's work in oue county. |
Dad Conditions in County Jails.
The revelations made as to pris
on conditions in North Carolina!
at the meeting % few days ago of
the Committee, of One Hundred
appointed by the Governor seve-j
ral months ago, with the co-opera- j
tion of the State Department of!
Public Welfare, make it plain j
that another effort at "prison re-1
form" is about to be launched
here. The Legislature will of |
course be asked to givs tl is mat
ter attention. Two-thirds of the
jails visited by representativies
of the committee were found toj
be in a bad or worse condition,!
forty out of sixty o£> them not
complying with the law as to sep
*" aration of prisoners, etc. Some
jails have no separate accommoda-1
tions at all for women prisoners, j
and none is reported as having a |
jail matron. The mail prisoners, |
boys, young and old, and the mostj
hardened criminals and the first
offenders all being confined to
gether with no effort made to sep
arate the sheep from the goats, so
to speak.
Conditions at the State Prison
are much better, but Superintend
ent George Pou will ask for a H
classification of inmates and es
pecially better provision for the
"criminally insane."
Former Lieutenant Governor
• V D. Turner, while serving as
bt'ii.itor lor Iredell county several
\e*rs ago, pressed this matter of
classification of convicts and other
re.oruis aud secured th-e eijaet
l lent of a law designed to very
materially better conditions fo| '
the unfortunate people imprisrtu-r
eii, many of them 4or life auch
without tiny hope of anything but
itii'irisonmeut in this worid. But '
it eeins that some of the best
provisions of tint law have gone
into inocuous desuetude, or at j
least stand in need of rejuvena
tion.

One of the best and most re

Sponsored by-the Agricultural
Club, an organization "made-up of
ithe students taking the agricul
tural courses of the college, the
1U22 fair, unique in its lmld in
| this section of the country, sur
passed any of the fall festivals
Jierttoforo attempted, and com
! pared very favorably with a num
ber of the community aud county :
fairs of the State.
Opening in the morning with a
I splendid parade' that wound its
way from the coilego through the
down-town streets of the cily, in
which nvery phase of the work of
j the coj lege agricultural depart
ment was represented by a clever
float, the fair continued through
jotr the day. nETrotn the time the
I exiiijits and midway were thrown
jopeu to visitors in the early after

through Patterson Hall to exclaim
with amazement at the imposing
I array of farm products that had

the STUU.OO worth of premiums (

Declared by critics to have been ,
"the bt-st parade ever seen in
Raleigh," the street portion of T he
festivities drew protracted ap- ;
plause all along the line of ,

The whole show, freaks, side
shows, clowns and all the rest of
it, was in the line of march, but
I stress was laid all the way through
lon agricultural education and the
float plaeardud "Watch State Col

the Frort" eurbodied the spirit of
ithe whole procession. The float
i was pulled by a squad of fresh;
j men.
j One striking float portrayed the

corpse was attended by pall- (
bearers. Other floats represented
striking contrasts, one float show- .
i ing modern methods of high school ;

Hollowed by another show
ling the slipshod system of the i
'sast. Another pair of floats, con-j j
Iras ted present living conditions |
in farm homes with those of the .
past. Still another contrast was j
present-d in crop*. The Poultry t

AMD THE FIREMEN LAUGHEOI
But Perhaps All of Them Didn't, Al
though Mrs. Bl.mk Undoubtedly
Meant Well.
Lawson Purdy, secretary of the
Charity Organization, soch-t* said at
a reception In Sf\v York:
"Some people run down the charity
expert—the man or woman who studies
charity and makes it his or her pro
"fesslon, but why shouldn't we have
charity experts as well as medical ex
perts, law experts or military exper*st
"Take collecting, for Instance —col-
lecting for charity. The expert knows
how to do It, and the greenhorn, be
side him, is like Mrs. Blank.
"Jlrs. Blank was the chief pillar of
a home for stray cats. The home was
In a very bad wuy. In fact, Its credi
tors said they'd foreclose on It If It
didn't settle up at once.
"Late one night, tossing sleepless In
her bed, heartbroken over the home's
coming ruin, Mrs. Blank had a sudden
brilliant Idea. She rose, ran to the
telephone and sent In a lire alann.
"When the firemen, breathless arid
wild-eyed, dashed up with their en
glnes iind hose and ladders, Mrs. Blank
met them at her door.
" 'Bo. s.' she said, with a gay laugh,
'there:l.|a't any fire really. I've Just
brought you hertj because you've sim
ply got to subscribe f>o cents apiece
to my stray cats' home.'"

RUM IN AUTOMOBILE TANKS'
Havana Chauffeurs Said to Be tJslng
It Because It Is Cheaper
Than Gasoline.
A report in the Scientific American
has it that the tnxlcabs of Hnvana
are running on what our forefathers
knew as rum—though of the dena
tured variety. They are using It be
cause It Is 80 per cent cheaper than
gasoline, and It 1b the product of
blackstrap molasses, which is Just
now a drug on the market. This by
product of cane sugar Is overflowing
the storage tanks; by turning It Into
automobile fuel, taxi rates have been
cut, the minimum now being 20 cents.
This cut is said to have been author
ized by the mayor at the request of
the cabmen themselves, who hope by
this means to popularize this mode of
travel.
The superabundance of blackstrap
molasses has given them their oppor

Standing In two countries, the post
olllce belongs to the postal service of
the two nations. t"ie eellar connects
tin- _two counlrles. In the days
hot very long ago when the post ollice
was a general store, whisky was
known to be sold In one country and
delivered in the other without ever
having gone from under the roof of the
old structure.

Causes of Cllmatio Change.
Tyndall was one of the first to sug
gest that tho cause of the great
changes that tho climate of the earth
has undergone In tho past might con
ceivably he the formation of thin can
opies of gas In the atmosphere, ca
pable, of transmitting the luminous
heat of the »un, but Impervious to the
dark heat rays radiated back from
the earth. i Wheeler, seeking a new
explanation of the glacial periods,
suggests that such canopies could be
formed by the fall* of rings of matter
external to the atmosphere. Helng
afterward resolved into belts, iliey
might give rise to strong elliptic
zones, until their final disappearance
by descent to the earth In the form
of dust. He picturesquely suggests
that primitive man saw tho latest
cloud belts/1 which gave rise to the,
myths of serpents'' twined about the
earth.
