THE GLEANER IS8UZD BTKZY TBUB8DAI. J. D. KERNODLE, Editor. $1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. ??Mm at Uia FMIOlM atOrabam. M. 0.. as xoODd-dla? matter G?^HA^NrcC^^Y2^1928^ BOND ISSUE OPPOSED. Petitions are now being circu lated and signed, calling for a referendum on tbe $65,000.00 bond issue which the County Commissioners have proposed. It is under the "County Finance Act" that the Commissioners pro pose to sell this block of bonds, and which they can legally do, unless the voters of the county register their opposition at the ( ballot box. This act provides that an elec tion shall be held upon petition of a certain number of qualified voters of the county to determine whether the bonds shall or shall not be issued. Under the act at least fifteen percent of the vote oast at the last preceding gubernatorial elec tion is necessary to have the question of issuing bonds sub mitted to the people. It will, therefore, require about 1,200 signatures to the petition to com pel the Commissioners to order an election. A number of petitions are now being circulated and it appears certain that the required number of signers will be obtained. If it shall develop that signers sufficient to call the election are obtained, would it not be well, as has been suggested, that the Commissioners rescind the order for bonds and save the county the expense and trouble of holding an election. There is a strong sentiment throughout the county in oppo sition to increasing the county's bonded indebtedness. The people (eel that the debt burden is al ready so large that there is little hope of materially reducing the tax levy for years to come. A recent statement issued by the County Accountant puts the county's indebtedness at 81,899, 11C.82 on June 30, last. It is not a bad guess to say that the rate of interest paid ou this sum aver ages not less than five percent. Suppose the rate is as much as fiveporcent, then it would require in round numbers, 895,000.00 alone to pay the interest charges. That is a sum that is in excess of the total tax levies af the county but a few years ago. The County Accountant has figured it out that a rate of $1.66 on 8100 valuation will take care of all departments of the county government for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1929. This is 16c on the 8100 leas than the rate for the year ended June 30,1928, but 10c more than for the year ended June 30, 1927. mere area few individuals who are perfectly content to grope along in the old way withont roads or schools; bnt it is believed a vast majority of the citizens of Alamance county is progressive. They want good roads and good schools and they are willing to pay the price. In truth, the connty should take no backward step when it eomesTtb deaHrig'with these" The county's school program has gone forward encouragingly in the past few years, bnt the goal has not been reached yet. The next great problem to schools is roads. In a large meas ure they are interdependent. This point could be elaborataddupon at some length. To care for and Improve school oonditions nearly one-half of the ; tax levy is required. This is an Investment in intelligence that wrtll make for the advancement of the connty, and the earn expend k bd for that purpose will rather J increase than diminish. For road purposes there is a J^aeibto decline, withont with The 18th Amendment. Article XY1II is the 18th amendment to the Constitution of the United States. It was proposed by Congress Dec. 19, 1917, and was declared in a proclamation of the Secretary of State, ; dated Jane 29, 1919, to have been ratified by the legislatures of three-fourihs of the States. Under this amendment the Volstead act by Congress and the . various acts passed by the legislatures in the various States the , manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors are dealt with. In another issue we will print a synopsis of the Volstead i act, a Federal statue, which provides for the alcoholic content of beverages and the machinery for the enforcement of the act by Federal officers. The amendment is as follows: i SECTION 1. After one year from the ratification of 1 this article, the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject 'to the jurisdiction thereof, for beverage purposes, is hereby prohibited. SEC. 2. The congress and thrf" several states shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appro priate legislation. SEC. 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as au amendment to the con- 1 stitution by the legislatures of the several states, as provided in the constitution, within seven .years from the date of the submission hereof to the states by the congress. county which are aa yet sparingly supplied. That the road program may be carried on, if noton the scale that the past few years have witnessed, there are economies that can and* should be introduced that would help to maintain a reasonable pace. Gov. 8mith will be formally notified of his nomination for President on Aug. 2!ind, and on that date he will launch his cam paign. Mr. Hoover will be noti fied of his nomination on Aug. 11th. Senator Simmons has resigned as a member of the National Democratic Executive Committee. Perhaps that was the thing for him to do. No explanation or comment accompanied his tender of resignation. It may be expected tbat the Republicans will encourage'ovory objection to Gov. A1 Smith on ac count of his ohurch relationship and his position as to the Volstead aet. Since when did Southern Republicans get to be bone dry? Club Short Coarse Next College Meeting Following close upon Farm and Home Week being observed at State College this week, the next great gathering of farm folks will be the annual Four-H club short course beginning July 30 1 ?? * ^ < * ?l ana enaing August * wueu between 800 and 1,01)0 farm boys and girls of North Carolina will assemble tor intensive training. The coarse will be In charge of L. R. Harrill, state club leader, and Miss Maude E. Wallace, as sistant state home agent. In addition to the class room work provided for the two groups, there will be a number of joint meetings and a selected number of farm and home agents will oome in from theii; home stations to aid with the work. Certain of the home agents will act as dorm itory mothers and chaperoues. Meet of the instructional work will be given by members of the oollege faculty, states Mr. Harrill. However)?there wiH?be- -seme imported talent, especially in the field of organised play and recre ational work. Miss Wallace has planned at least three cultural courses for the girls, one of which, jnusic aw?^ilflDu.JSiUbe jfiiftn. by Miss Fannie R. Buchanan, an expert from a leading talking machine company. In addition there will be courses for the girls in food and health, clothing anfi health, room and home improve ment and poultry growing. The coatees for the boys will pertain to crops, livestock, forestry, hort iculture and poultry. Only a small sum will be charged the yonng folks for their board and laboratory supplies. Many of the delegates will have their expenses paid by home or ganisations. The program for each day will begin at 1:11 in the morning and last through until ten o'elook at night. In addition to the lecture and demonstration work there will be swimming parties, sight seeing trips, competitive games, motion pictures and other forms of eatsctaiaseoak ? ' I Philosophy of Empire Building. The New South?North Caroline; Half Century Ago and Now?Education, Hlghwaya.Kleetrlclty.Induatry, Agri culture. Half a century ago North Caro lina, by admission of its own leaders, was, with a single excep tion, the least literate state in the Union. Now, some $35,000,000 a year are spent on pnblic school educa tion, and about 100,000 rural pupils are transported to and from school,mostly by motor bus. More important, the people of North Carolina give as their first reason why their state is a good place >n which to live, the great strides they have made and are making in education. Their net argument is the existance of a wonderful system of fine highways. Their third is developed hydro electric power. Their fourth?the effect of a cause?is the rapid strides indus try is making in their state. North Carolina is bountifully endowed by nature. It has three distinct belts; the coAstal plain, the Piedmont plateau, and the mountain district. Vegetation ranges from tropical to northern. Agriculture runs the entire gamut. Cotton and tobacco production are important, but the people of the state have discovered that industry is more profitable, and $50,000,000-banks have made 'their appearance in some cities. Trade centers advertiso their highway connections, their rail roads, the completeness of their facilities. They brag about their bousing condftions and their schools, the material progress they have made, and their plans for greater works for human com fort and economic ease. A far cry from the days of the Lonesome Pine and the family feud! North Carolina welcomes and does not oppose the drift of cotton production to the West. It has found something far better than the one-crop system. North Carolina is an outstand ing demonstration of the progess being made by the New South. It has begun to think right, and its larger future is assured. ?Selected. The Mexican Bean Beetle. The Mexican bean beetle, for merly known principally in the Southwestern Stales, has spread very rapidly during the past ten yeara_through the Eastern States; in many localities it has been abundant for a season and then has subsided, only to reappear in injurious numbers two pr three years later. It is the most serious insect enemy of edible beans wherever it appears in the United States and attacks all kinds of common gdrden beans, tepary Did You Ever Stop To Think (Copyright 1927) By Edsou R. Waite, Shawnee, Okla That some business men give many poor excuses when asked why they do not use newspaper advertising. That with many of them, it seems as though they do not realize that the only way to get business is to go after it! That they never stop to think that the only stores that make a success are the advertised stores! That good horse-sense is needed in the successful opera tion of business. That when a merchant re fuses to use newspaper advert fa ing, it proves he lacks horse sense!' That advertising nets profits in sales and good-will. That without the people's good-will no store can secure customers. That without customers no business can succeed. That some "now and then" advertisers say they advertise occasionally to help the news papers. . That spasmodic advertising is a little better than none. Newspaper advertising pays the merchant! Constant advertis ing makes the public seek a store and buy there often. Sleepy, indifferent advertising does little good- Live ads, run constantly, "bring home the bacon." r beaus, Lima beans, and kidney beans. The Mexican beau beetle \ when fully mature is" capper-col ored and bears 16 black dots on its wings. It appears in the fields about the time the earliest plant ed beans show above ground, and all Hlages of the pest may be fouud throughout the entire sum mer if uot controlled. The injury caused by the beetle is easily dis tiuguished from that of other iusect pests. The beetles and larvae feed ou the uuder surface of the leaves, the adult often cut ting through to the leaf ami giv ing the foliage ? lacelike appear ance. While the larvae feeds on the under-side cf the leaf, it leaves the upper surface intact; the plant tissue is cut away in narrow parallel sections ab rut the length of the insect's body, but narrow strips between these sec tions are left untouched, resulting fn a peculiar network. After the foliage is destroyed, the insects may attack the pods and even Uie stems, and when abundant they have been -kuown to completely destroy a bean crop in about four weeks. Considerable work ou coutrol measures has shown that the materials which will give best control without injuring the plants are magDesium arsenate or a gr ide of calcium arsenate with lime,, applied as either a dust or spray to the under-sides of the leaves. Roads Rule The World? "Roads rule the world?not kings nor congresses, not courts nor constabules, not ships nor sol diers. The road is the only royal line in a democracy; the only ieg islature that never changes; the first aid to the redemption of any nation; the exodus from stagna tion of any society; the call from savagery in any triba; the high priest of prosperity after the order of Uelchizedek, without the beginning of days or end of life. The road is the umpire in every war, and when the new map is mads it simply pushes on its great campaign of help, hope, brother hood, efficiency and peace." ?Selected. The Four-H Club Short Course will be held at State College dur ing the week of July 30 to August 4, Four farm women receive cer tificates from State College this week for having attended four consecutive short courses for rural housekeepers. J. G. Clark of Beaufort county began his tobacco harvest this year on June 27. Much of the crop is maturing earlier than usual in eastern Carolina this season. E. L. Winfield of Pantego in Beaufort county has kept his daughter at the North Carolina College for Women during the past two sessions with profits derived from his hog feeding work.
