Editor Johnson, of Charity and Children, speaks plainly abou nv urideverv thing and some- . times he does some good man an injustice by saying positively that so and so is so. In the last issue of Charity and Children he says: "Decidedly the ablest colWe Dresident of any of our institutions for boys is Dr. Wil liam Louig Poteat of Wake For est Until recently Davidson'i president stood side by side with the head of Wake Forest;" and he leaves the impression that ai the others are small fry. Since Brother Johnson is so positive about it it seems that one ought to accept it, but we can't admit that Trinitv Colleire has now or has had at any time within the past twenty years a man at its head who did not class with any educator in this State or in any other Southern State. Mr. John Ron simnlv forcot Trinity at the time he wrote that, for surely he knows that it is a compliment to , Poteat. able man that he is, to imt him in the same class with Dr. Few and his predecessor, Dr. Kilgo. v Some dull speaker with a tongue tied to no ear but his own so bored the brethren at the North Carolina press convention at Morehead City last month that some of the exasperated ones have not got over it yet and are still preaching sermons about it. Glory be! Hit 'em again. These tedious fellows who take advant age of an invitation to speak and drone on and on when every one within sound of their voice has long ago been worn to a frazzle ought to be chloroformed; they have lived out their day of use fulness and it were nothing more than sweet -charity to put them out of the way. ' A day of prayer was observed in South Carolina to deliver the -State from Bleaseism. It would be more sensible to call & day of prayer for divine forgiveness for elevating a thing like Blease to office and then spit on their hands and go out and lick Blease to a standstill. The doctors of Charlotte have raised their rates from" $1.50 to $2. 50 for day calls and from $3 to $5 for night calls. And the people of the town are kicking. Small wonder that they are. The services of physicians ought not to be placed among the luxuries that only the wealthy can afford. If there is any way President Taf t can help the rich to rob the poor all thev have to do to secure his aid is to let him know how. For the second time within a year he vetoed Friday a bill to revise the wool tariff downward. Missionary Matt Meeting at Re gan Church.

Editor Branch, of the Red Springs Citizen, visited Lumber- ton the othe day and had the following nice things to say about he town in the next issue of his paper: The town is growing into the dimensions of a city. Its main street from the depot far beyond the court bouse square is newly paved and on either side of the street large and improved brick structures are taking the place of the old wooden buildings. Likewise the side streets are being given needed attention. The residential part of Lumber- ton shows up well. As far as the eye could discern were beau tiful homes set back in large shady groves. With exception of its hotel accommodations, which are indeed poor, all is well. with Lumberton." A Cow Gets Drunk on Ferment ed Cornstalks. Washington Dispatch, 8th.

A Virginia husbandman, alarm ed by the indecorous performan ces of an ordinarily perfectly mild animal after munching a ra tion of ensilage, appealed to the sharps of the department Investigation revealed that Bossy had feasted on fermented cornstalks and had simply gotten drunk on raw bourbon whiskey that was all.

Free American Ships Throttgh Panama Canal Senator Sim- mom Takes Leading Part in Fight The united states senate on the 7th refused to strike from the Panama canal bill the provision exempting American ships from payment of tolls for passage through the Panama canal. The defeat of the Burton amendment to strike out the dis crimination in favor of American ships was the Senate's defiant answer to the protest of the British government against the legislation. It was this clause of this bill which led Great Bri tian to send a formal protest to the State Department Senator Simmons took a lead ing part in the fight on the floor of the Senate for free American ships through the Panama canal and also in opposition to placing the civil service of the Canal zone under tne control ox one man. In view of the fact that foreign powers as in the case of the Suez canal will pay the tolls of their merchant vessels pass ing through the big ditch, Sena tor Simmons insisted that the only way we could put our ships using the canal on the same foot ing with fore'gn ships, was to exempt them from tolls and that any other course would result in a ruinous discrimination against our ships in using this great waterway. In support of free ships he pointed out that we are, and had been for years,' spending millions to improve and canalize our rivers and harbors and to con nect our inland waterways by canal without charging tolls for their use and there was no more reason for imposing tolls on .our vessels using the Panama canal than on those using these inland rivers and canals The Senator does not doubt our right under the treaty to ex empt our own, ships from tolls while exacting tolls from ships of other countries. Narry a Claim. bar lotto Observer. How much money was it Sim mons got congress to spend on making a commercial canal of the Cape Fear river between Fayetteville and Wilmington? It was a pretty big wad -$600, 000, or some such matter as that and as most of it will be pocketed by the Cape .Fear natives, we shall not expect to hear the claim that this was a waste of public money.

C Let Us Show You No-Rim-Gut Tirs You are undoubtedly convinced that you should use No Rim-Cut tires. Every motorist has read about No-Rim-Cut tires again and again in the magazines and news papers. You have read how the 10 per cent oversize and No-Rim-Cut features cut tire bills in two. Yon have wanted these tires. They are now here. Let us show you. No-Rim-Cut Feature x No-Rim-Cut tires have six tapes of 126 braided wires in the base, making the base absolutely un stretchable. . Nothing can force the tire out of the rim channel A hooked base is not necessary to hold the No-Rim-Cut tire on I he hook ed side of the rings are turned away from the tire. Then tt e tire, when deflated, rests on the rounded side of the rings. Rim-Cutting is impossible. 10 per cent Orersize When a car is overloaded the tires get that extra strain. That hastens breakdowns means blowouts. No-Rim-Cut tires are made 10 per cent oversize to provide for overload The construction allows that. Goodyear That oversize means 10 per cent more air 10 per cent more carrying capacity. That oversize saves an that overloading, costs. Consider these features, and what they save motorists.
