ALL OVER NOW.
"Consider the peanut," adjures
The Beaufort Nejvs, and we rise to
inquire what eh4, with the general
assembly still in session, can be con
sidered? Greensboro-News.,
Could Fiction Writer
Find Anything Funnier?
The story of the British civil serv
ant who, after ten years' absence
from his office, returned to It to find
that he had risen la salary and senior
ity while away, and was now a prin
cipal clerk, has its parallel In real life.
A certain young man became a mem
ber of the French civil service In 1922,
and from that time a hat, a coat, and
a pair of gloves at his desk bore mute
testimony to his existence. This evi
dence was confirmed by his regularity
In collecting his salary. But, other
wise, he was never seen or heard of at
his office.
He was transferred to another of
fice, and his hat, coat and gloves
changed their quarters. But other
wise there was no change. Eventually
It was discovered that he was a pro
fessional danrer, and was too busy to
attend the office.
The authorities were shocked, nod
resolved that the young man must be
punished. But the only two possible
punishments were dismissal and re
duction in grade. The first seemed too
severe; as for the second, the young
man was already In the lowest grade.
Finally, the Gordlan knot was cut
the young man was promoted, and
then Immediately reduced to his for
mer status.
Famous Roman Baths
Have Been Overrated
We go to the movies and see scenes
arranged to Impress us with the
luxury of the old Roman baths in use
2,000 years ago; and very few of ua
realize how superior the up-to-date
bathroom Is to those costly ancient
edifices. So says a well-known maker
of up-to-date bathrooms.
The Roman baths, he continues,
were built, as a rule, by the emperors,
their cost being too great for a private
Individual. Crude and clumsy was the
method by which the water was heat
ed and carried from one pool to an
other. Although It was changed con
tinually, every one bathed in the same
water, and soap was unknown. The
baths were open .only at certain hours
of the day, an admission price was
charged and their use was limited to
nobles and freemen of the city.
In Greece marble slabs were hol
lowed out and filled with water, which
was splashed or poured from urns over
the head or body of the bather. Down
through the Middle ages plumbing fix
tures, as we understand the term, were
unknown.
Live in Fear of "Devila"
In practically all parts of New
Guinea the natives believe that the
"tamarangs" or evil spirits come out
as soon as It Is dark and are constant
ly on the watch for stray negroes,
says the Detroit News. Fortunately,
however, the devils are quite unable
to pass fire at night, so a village Is
protected by a ring of small fires about
It Sometimes the fires are placed In
a circle around the settlement and
sometimes just four are made, one at
each corner of the place. Inside this
protective belt the negro has no fear
whatever of the "tamarangs," but In
the case of the bueh natives especially
all the tinned meat and Jew's-harps In
New Guinea would not tempt him out
side It before dawn in districts known
to be afflicted with devils.
Hit Exeute
Mother's face wore an exasperated
look as she rapped her little soa
smartly on the knuckles.
Johnny would persist In putting the
food into his mouth with his knife In
stead of his fork, and tLne and again
mother bad told him about It.
"Sonny," she said angrily, "how
many times have I told yon that you
must net eat with your knife. Use
your fork."
"Yes; but mamma," objected the
little boy, "I must use my knife, 'cos
my fork leaks."
Left-Handed Compliment
Stories about clowns are In vogue.
One concerning Bill Buck a famous
clown of half a lifetime ago, would
have delighted that artist of the flour
paste countenance.
Two old ladles, standing In a queue
for the pit of a theater, fell to dis
cussing the merits of the various
clowns they had seen.
Said one, summing up her Impres
sions : "But I think I like Mr. Buck
best of them all such a nice clown I
There's nothing vulgar about him he
never makes you laugh."
"Sillier" FoxeB
The name sliver fox, as commonly
used by furriers. Includes the dark
phases of the ordinary red fox, various
i. .oiiort iwer eroV. silver black, or
black. The cotor of the red fox of the
Northeastern states ana oi us awe
the colder part of North America
varies from red to black, and these ex
tremes with the gradations between
them form four more or less distinct
phases, Imowa respectively as red,
cross or patch, silver and black.

Don't overlook the last adigraph,
it shows exactly what the Merchants
Association of Greensboro think of
j advertising other than in local publi
cations. I note around the different stores
that new spring goods are beginning
;to arrive, and from the looks of some
that I've seen, its all mighty springy
looking.
While its a little in between sea
sons, it would be a good idea for ev
ery merchant in town to get tagteher
and pull offa Dollar Day to boost up
trade. By clubbing in, the cost of
advertising and circularizing would
be so distributed that it would be
'down to a low figure.

CATCHING MENHADEN AGAIN.
Most of the fish scrap and oil fac
tories have closed down until next
jFall but some fishing is going on
nevertheless. On Monday Captain
Bonner Willis of the Chas. S. Wallace
and Captain Will Willis of the W. M.
iWebb decided to try their luck and
(they had very good success. The
(Wallace came in with 304,000 in her
hold and the Webb brought in 195,
000 fish. The fish were of a very
good size, some roes, but as usual
at this time of the year did not pro
'duce much oil. Fish are reported to
be rather plentiful off shore but
.weather conditions have not been
.very favorable as most of the time
it has either been foggy or too windy.

an appropriation basis, the same as
other institutions.
May Coma Back
Although an economical start such
as the legislature has made would in
dicate strong objections to the expen
se of a special session, it appeared to
departing members this week that
there may be a call for an extra or
dinary meeting before the spring of
i 192G. Some of the members are
confident they will be back for an ex
tra session; Governor McLean says
that he can see no reason for another
Session until 1927.

bill pans out. If it raises the twelve
