DtFrank Crane Saysl Doit Give Up baa happened to yon. don't give up. Do not admit that circumstances are more powerful than you. Though your head be bloody it should not be bowed. You may hare had financial losses and the accumula tlons of years may hare been swept away, possibly by the treachery of some friend. What of it? Tighten your belt and go at It again. Your health may be Impaired Trim! vf itt rrnnift hff hi>* discouragements and hare lived bravely through them. The world Is full of unsung heroes who hare met with reverses and yet kept UP a brave front Keep your flag flying. The bank rupt merchant or the disillusioned youth may see no escape but suicide, but those who are wiser tackle the' problem again. ? - There is no great teaching that does not Instruct us that we can rise upon our faulty past and climb the stairs to a finer future. No more damnable gospel .was ever preached than that for you or any man or woman there is no hope. -it you hare sinned. If you have, made mistakes, rise Tip! Shake oft the past and face the future. There is no man living but what has com mltted some er ffrti'w ran TlMfTW the burden^of life to plunge us into despair or we can shake It off ana seek other Celds. The world is wide and if there is any one thing that both religion and philosophy teach It Is that we can rise upon" the wreck of our dead selves and enjoy that which remains. You don't know what is around the corner and no man can tell what the future has In store for him. Be a thorougbred hand keen up your courage, even though the battle may be against you. h " .Many a peisuu has given up when success lay Just ahead of him. It yon can't do anything else, hold on. Believe In yourself, believe In life, believe in your star. *Tf none of these beliefs can be proved to be sound their effect upon your character at least Is sound, and one who is dominated by a persistent belief In his success is much more liabte to have a sure hand and a good eye than the one who doubts himself. Some one has said that you are never goln^_to succeed in life in any. amir, mental, moral or physical, un til you have stricken from your hands and heart and brain the shackles of fear. - What we want in this world Is something "to tone us up, lb put ua at our best, and fear is Just the op^ nosite of "this.

Skiyaii. t Raleigh, July 25.?The past week developed little of outstanding sig nificance either In State or local af. fairs. With Governor McLean so. jouruing in the "Land '0 Lakes" and Editor Josephus Daniels filling speak, lng engagements with the editors at Morehead and the building and loan representatives meeting in Asheville the principal actors in matters polit ical were far removed from the in spiring influences of the capital city in which there is generally gossip in plentitude about matters public and private. The County Government Ad visory commission .conducted a very helpful school at State College, while the State Equalization Board heard | objections to previous decisions in a conference at Morehead City. Reports to official associates brings news that Governor McLean is enjoy ing the outing in the Northern woods and expects to return in fine physical condition tor the arduous duties of his office. Since his departure- - no emergency has arisen which necessi tated action by Lieutenant Governor Long, but it so happens that he has remained in the State ready to assume the duties of executive should neces sity require. Mr. Long represented the Governor at the big meeting in rri'"""ii nil Wednesday celebrating thf opening of the bridge across Cfib wsn River .which links the "lost coun ties" of Eastern North Carolina with the rest of the State. A recent mes sage from fioveraor McLean indicat es that he will press an invitation tot the next annual conference ot State [governors to be. held aL Pine hunt. ' More thap half the counties of the State were represented in the County Government Institute betd at?State College during the week and the in formation passed along was consider ed very helpful to officials who avail, ed themselves of the opportunity of fered in hearing expertB talk about the "new order of things." There has been not a little confusion in a good many Counties over proposed chan ges. in government nnder the new county government act. This has, in. the main, been evident in the smaller [ count! eo in which the budget sygtem has never been applied. It is all new to them end the effort to conform with the provisions of the proposed new system has resulted In dissatis faction and confusion Business ad ministration has for some years been [practiced In soma of the larger coun ties and the proposed hlugctary plan will be easy of adoption. Details oa, the plan were fully outlined by high authorities during the sessions ~ot the [Institute and the effort to take theory out of administration of the new coun ty government laws is believed to bevy Kaon fairly Successful. It is contended that tf the budget plan. Is best for the State it may likewise suc ceed on a smaller scale. [?The- -State Democratic .Executive Committee did as It was expected to do by electing Attorney General Brummitt chairman and tendering a vote of thanks to the retiring leader John G. Dawson who has held the po sition for the past six years. The se lection of Mr. Brummitt may be said to have been "done in a corner," but it was ratified opeqly and without a dissenttafVoice. Even the ladies present accepted the proposal whole heartedly and the new chairman goes to the bat with all factions uni ted. The Committee very appropri ately adopted resolutions relative to the passing of Judge Walter H. Neal and Col. Alston D. Watts former members find prominent dem ocrats with records of distinguished service to their credit. I I The State Board of Equalization in session at Morehead City on Friday made a number of adjustments and allottments to meet complaints ot various counties. Reductions amount ing to five millions o{ dollars in val uations ot four counties?Camden, Dare. Pitt, and Rockingham?were considered necessary to an. equitable adjustment ot recently appraised val. ues in which patent errors were dis covered. Thirty-five thousand dol lars trom the $100,000 stimulating fund were distributed among nearly score of counties. Practically all major protests from counties were considered and adjusted at this' meet ing of the board. Another session is to be held next month to take up oth er complaints tha't may arise in t$e meantime. Twenty.four counties "ask ed for aid from the stimulating fnnd and those who failed on Friday may renew their requests later on. The Attorney General rules that counties participating in the equalization fund must levy a 40 cents tax; take care of normal Increase in number of teachers employed trith salary sched. ule based on average attendance last year; pay outstanding indebtedness for current expenses, and make levy f0{ current expenses with state pro viding only 16 per cent of salary fund, county levying remainder. The headlight law of the recent General Assembly is declared to be mandatory by the Attorney General's office, but ? comparatively small per. centage of cars in operation bgvt been tested, according to reports from the State Highway Commission which has had the matter under su pervision. Motorists claim that this terftlni business is just another unnecessary requirement having for its purpose the raising of more revenue and ob. Ject to parting with seventy .flvi cents tn order to conform with' th< suggestion. The State Tax commission has es tablished offices in the Revenue Bull ding with Dr. Fred Morrison, secre tary, in charge. The public Is ad vised to let . thq commission havi helpful suggestions at agy and ? al times by A. J. Maxwell, chairman who wants to make a, real tax *or yey of the Stat* .Z. ' Tomorrow Raleigh voters win sa; whether they want to subscribe $75, 000 for the permanent eetabltshmen of a great 8tate Fair and proponent \ of the proposed bond Issue feel con-! fident of the success of the movement. Less than a third of the Qualified vo-1 ters registered for the election but it' is avldeat that * majority of those who did qualify themselves wilt vote' for?the- hoods. The legislative pro.l vision for the continuance of the f?iF places the' responsibility for the site upon the State. The North Carolina Agricultural Society promises to do nate <125,000' for the construction ot [buildings, provided the eity of mi l eigh supplements thU sum to the~exT tentv of $76,000, and 2,693 voters are deciding on Tuesday what is to be [done about it. ?The. recent selection of WIITIard Td Do well, former city clerk of this ctt^T |-?e?executive ot. thg_ State Merchants Association and the transfer of hea<Fl quarters to Raleigh Is considered a forward move of a business organi. isation .which keeps an ear to the ground day in and day out all throughj the year. Mr. Dowell is president of the North Carolina Municipal Asso. elation and brings to his new posi tion an experience which will be a valuable asset In the "service with a smile" he proposes to render the mer. Clibnts of the State. Insurance Commissioner Stacey Wade congratulates the State on the decrease of fire loss, the figures for last month being $197,00p as compared with a loss of $275,691 In Jcne 192b. The fires also decreased in number and there waa no single heavy fire loss during the month. During the week Commissioner Wade journeyed to Ashevllle and talked to the State Association of Building and Loan As. sociations on topics of which he has made a special study In connection wiih his plans of supervision. North Carolina has 5^464 miles ot surfaced highways and 700 of these miles was surfaced during the past year, according t0 data received here from the United States Bureau ot Public Roads, thus placing this State eighth from the top of "the galaxy ot states'' In the construction of sur face highways. The State of New ^ ork ,h< eds the list with 9,853 miles to her creait. Ohio, Texas, Pennsyl vania, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan have outstripped the "Old North State" in surface milea^g, but no states other than those mentioned here have 6,000 miles of surfaco roads. About 350,000 motor vehicles have to dote been licensed to do bus Iness in North Carolina during the ensuing six months and most of the plates issued havo been distributed through the branch offices operated generally by the Carolina Motor Club. A party of 150 Arkansans, headed by the governor of that State, have planned a visit to North Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, Cuba, Georgia and Alabama. They expect to look into the way North Carolina does things on August 16 and plans for appropriate entertainment are In the making by the Raleigh Chamber of Commorce. This Arkansas Develop ment Tour may not include an inves. tigatlon of the coastal plains or a visit to the habita of Capt. John A. Nelson of the fisheries commission, that $6,664,990 pounds of fish, with a commercial value of $2,414,499 were taken from Ta^ Heel waters tho p at year. The Investment In fishing equipment Is more than five million dollars and 9,308 persons wcr? em. ployed in fishing operations. The Statistical Division of the State Department of Agriculture finds that are rer~ nMJch mor? hopeful the lost week ta July than they wero a month ago dud, It is said; to the breaking of a long drought and the recent appearance of "good old 'tl?merlltini?M wWoh tho good old fanner likes to oxperlence.

Simultaneously witfi tho report oj a decrease th the number of Cbutag lons diseases in the State comes th< news that the State Board -of Me9cal Examiners granted license to prac. tice medicine to ninety .three brant new applicants for this distinction. But along comes another announce ment to the effect that <93 violent deaths occurred In the State during the first six months of the yer.r. the ' automottles taking on an average ot more than a life a day, or 191 for the period, and doctors are always wet. e in an emergency. The State Corporation Commie. slon and the Interstate Commerce Commission are co-operating in. an lufilU'gatlOn thf afe jrf which is -to secure uniform freight rates for cut ton in the Southern States. The State Commission invited this co-operation with a_ view to harmonious relation ship "between the state? and federal authorities in rate fixing Commis sions in other Southern -States are being invited to participate in the investigation which will include Inter. . state rates on cotton, warehousing Bud MBIUMffn. f ?
