The decision of the Norfolk and Western to push its Roanoke-Winston branch ninety miles further South by building from Winston to Wadesboro, N. C, is a significant move from various standpoints. It is another of those extensions by which the West Virginia coal fields are brought directly into touch with the Piedmont industrial districts of the Carolinas. The Norfolk and Western line from its interior terminal at Winston-Salem and at Durham distributes its coal to the manu facturing district of North Caro lina over the Southern Railway lines and over the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley from Walnut Cove. Building to Wadesboro from Winston-Salem will enable it to reach new coal consuming erritary much more directly. Furthermore, this line passes through more than half of the width of the State of North Car-, olina, embracing much of the best agricultural territory, with a good supply of timber lands. The connection with the Atlan tic Coast Line at Wadesboro gives the Norfolk and Western approach 3 seaboard at the . jV, . . . ' Wilmingt Cte Norfolk and Western thus reach es the southeastern seaboard with its coal tonage by a large haul mainly over its own lines. This arrangement should be highly advantageous to the com panies and to the country con cerned. Wall Street Journal. Charge it up to the Tail of the Comet. Something ought to be done to' that scientist who is predicting snow for our latitude during July. This phenomenon which he says will surely occur, he at tributes to the presence of the tail of the comet now enveloping the earth while the body is some where in the illimitable space of the universe, millions of miles away, but traveling towards the earth at fearful speed coming tail foremost, it seems, is the usual manner of traveling with comets. It is all because of the tail of the comet that we are to undergo the remarkable exper ience of snowstorms in the dog days, so says the scientist. For some time now everything that goes wrong or is unusual can be attributed to the tail of the com et. If we have rain all during the summer it will be because of the tail of the comet. If there is a terrible drought it will be be cause of the tail of the comet. The same may be said if there are abundant crops or disastrous failures. It is only the tail of the comet, however, with which we on the earth will have to deal. Our scientist is not bothering himself at all about the body. He fears no bad results from . it. The people need have no fear be cause of its rapid flight in . this direction. It will exert no in fluence on the earth. All the re markable things that are happen ing and the still more remarkable that are to occur are aH because of the tail of the comet. Char lotte Observer.

ASHEBORO'S NEWEST INDUSTRY Acme Hosiery Mill Begins Operations The Acme Hosiery Mill, the latest addition to Asheboro man ufacturing industries commenced operation Monday. Only a few machines are in place yet, but others will be installed this week and more added from time to time until the full capacity of about two hundred machines is reached. GKOWTH OF INSURANCE. The popularity of insurance in one or another of its many forms is growing all the time. Remem bering thofact that insurance of any kind whatsoever is of mod ern origin, the growth of this form of enterprise has been ex traordinary. Several hundred banks of Kan sas have just organized a cencern to insure their own depositors against loss. Insurance against losses by fire or at sea is among the oldest. Life insurance came later. Now it is every where possible to take out poli cies against accident and every kind of disease. Farmers insure against des truction of their crops by hail or wind. They have their cattle, horses and even chickens insur ed. Carters in a city carry risks and automobile insurance is ex- - ceedmclv. onmmnn.' i W f? mous Lon-i don company offered to guaran tee any American business man against loss in the contingency of Bryan's election as President of the nited States. All the world remembers how the same concern stood to lose millions had King Edward oice died under a surgical operation. Title to real estate in this city have for a generation been pro tected by insurance, and now mortgages are treated in the same way. All insurance is a species of speculation. Percentage of peril involved is figured down to a nicety, and then the insurer bets his money that the thing won't happen. It would be possible in some places to be insured against heat prostration in Summer or frost bites in Winter. It has come to this, that wher ever a human being takes a risk or wherever peril is involved over which man has no control, some one else stands ready to wager that the disaster will not occur. Consequently, insurance is an in dex of the eternal optimism and hopefulness of the human race. Philadelphia Press. The Demand For Jig Saw Puzzles.

The Coleridge Township Sun day School Convention will be held at Parks X Roads, Sunday, July I8th, instead of July Xlth ! as published last week. TO SCHOOL COMMITTEEMEN. Committeemen for the various school districts have been ap pointed, and official notice given to every one selected. To make the selection was a difficult task, but an effort was made to get the right men without regard to feeling or bias. In some instances it may be said that the best men were net . appointed. However true or untrue this may be, the appointments have been made, and the task before us now is to secure the co-operation of every man who has been named for this important position. For convenience in orgranizing I have requested that a meeting of the committee be held next Saturday afternoon (July 17) at the school house when a chair man and secretary should be elected, and such other business transacted as may arise before this occasion. When the organ ization has been effected notice should be given at once to the county superintendent. Blanks for this return notice have al ready been sent to some member Of the committee in each dis trict. I suggest that an effort be made to elect teachers at an early date. Heretofore there has been a tendency to delay thi3 im portant matter until all the best teachers have been employed. Committemen should understand that it is their business to look for a teacher. The "sual rule has been to wait until some one makes the application, and then to elect without investigation. We want every committeeman to be interested in the school and anxious to secure the best teach er available. Blanks for taking the census will be provided before August 1st. I suggest that, a census taker be appointed at the com mittee meeting next Saturday. An effort should be made to take the census as soon as the blanks are sent, and particular care should be used in order to make accurate returns. I strongly urge committeemen to keep careful records of their meetings. A book for this pur pose will be furnished upon ap plictaion to the county superin tendent. In a great many dis tricts, such books have been in use before, and will be good for the same purpose again. Retir ing committeemen should see that the record books are handed down to the new committee. One of the most important duties of a committee is to keep a careful record of all appoint ments made to the district, and also the amount paid out. Fre quently attempts have been made to overdraw the district accounts. This should not be done, because the County Treasurer cannot pay more money out than has been placed to the credit of the dis trict. A careful consideration of these suggestions will l?e appre ciated. I want the co-operation of committeemen in all parts of the county in order to make this the best year in the history of the educational awakening in the State. E. J.

She lives by herself and does her own house work. She leads a busy aj& active life, too. Not infrequently, we are told, she walks to Zion church to wor ship, a distance of two miles" from her home.
