Bible Thought For The Day

LfcT EVERY ONE ( LEAN I P.
The annual Clean-up Campaign in
I this city has already been inaugurat
ed. by the City Sanitary officer, and
every person in the city is invited to
take part in it. In fact, the success
| of the campaign will “depend entirely
upon the co-operation the citizens of
the city give the city in ilsVpiVts t<y
rkl the y;p-ds and hack lots of ipncfr
of their trash, which in many in
stances has been allowed to accumu
late for the past year.
The clean-up squad of the city this
year allow the same system used in
former years. The property owners
are expected to collect the trash and
place it on the sidewalk or in the
ditch, from which point it will l>e pick
ed up by the city workers. Where per
sons have trash cans or Imxes they are
asked to place the trash in them and
place them on the streets. This will
greatly facilitate the work of the
dean-up squad.
We hope, and have reasqn to believe
that in the immediate future we will
have clean-up week 52 times a year.
Certain city officials have intimated
l that they favor a system which will
allow the city to remove trash from
every street in the city ;it least once a
i week, and we believe such a system
will be inaugurated here in the near
future.
Such a system should he adopted. It
is _ badly needed ‘right now. The dis
posal of trash is a public problem and
; j becomes a more serious one from year
to year. Concord is growing, and its
trash pile is growing wi£h it. We can
not sit back and let the stuff rot in
our back yards, causing illness and
death.
The clean-up campaign offers every-
I
one an opportunity to get their prem
ises clean now. and this is the time of
Vyear when they especially need to Ik*
clean. '*
If everyone will co-operate in this
campaign we feel sure the aldermen
will see to it that some system is pro
vided whereby the city can be kept
p clean.
ONE OF ITS PURPOSES.
it The North Carolina Department of
the American Legion recently started
ti campaign against the appearance in
this State of one Reinhardt Strecker,
“dry” "speaker, and it Ims been an
nounced from Greensboro that the
speaker’s engagements in North t'aro
, lina have been cancelled.
Kv Strecker first appeared in Spring
Hoik*. After hearing him tin* mom tiers
of the Legion there decided that he
was nothing but a German propagan
dist appearing in the clothing ot a
| “dry” speaker, and. they so notified the
,Superintendent of the Apti-Saloon
' in North Carolina, asking that
lie cancel the speaker's engagements
in this State. This the Superintendent,
refused to do, so the State officers and
fc committeemen of the Legion took the
matter up with the National Anti-Sa
|, loon League, which has ordered St reek
er not to speak anywhere else in this
* State.
future.
P Looking after »iuli tases us this is
oue of tlic purposes of the Legion, and
its officers in this State are to be
|i thanked lor the determined netion
they took iu this ease. *
And ineideutully this brings to
| public attention tin need of the Anti-
Saloon League being very particular
as to the speakers it studs to all parts
%■ of the country. VI bile a majority of
p the people are in
and are in sympathy with the Anti-
Saloon League, they will not put up
with wolves traveling around in sheep s
clothing. The Anti-Saloon League
should know all about its speakers
before endorsing them, and they should
allow no German to go abroad spread
ing bis own particular doctrine when
be is supposed to be bringing a "dry
message, and when his expenses tire
paid from contributions made to the
Anti-Saloon League by people who
would not he willing to pay one penny
to any organization or agency that
was out spreading propaganda about
Germany.
BABIES PLAY SECOND FIDDLE.
The American Homes Bureau has
just issued figures which indicate that
American women are thinking of
worldly things so much they can’t take
time for- babies. The Bureau s report
intimates that women now love cos
metics. confections, movies, cigarettes
and motor cars more than they do ba
bies.
The first nine months of 1922 show
ed a loss of 322.932 babies as contrast
ed with 1921. the Bureau announced.
A continuance of this rate of decline
for ten years would bring on a nation
al catastrophe, according to the sta
tistics.
In the same report the Bureau
points out that *10.000.000 a year, for
merly given to homo building, has
been sacrificed to pleasure, and it
blames city women who tiud the boxy
apartment preferable to a fiat, "where
the crying of a child is not half so
agreeable as the lamentations of a
syncopated phonograph record.”
The Bureau’s report says “women
temporarily have given normal life the
go-by" and goes on to show that the
sale of washing machines fell off near
ly a third while the purchase of mo
tor cars increased rapidly.
The situation as pointed out in the
report is one worthy of serious
thought. This country and no other
country for that matter, could for ten
years thrive with a yearly decrease of
322.932 in ouY birth rate. We have mil
lions of people, to he sure, but we
can't afford any such decrease as this.
And neither can wo afford to make
babies take second place in our lives.
They must come first, anil when such
a condition does not exist, then there
is something radically wrong with our
civilization.
ANOTHER GOOD SIGN.
Almost coincident with the an
nouncement several days ago by 4he
Federal Council of Churches that
America is more religiously inclined
as shown by increased Church mem
bership. comes the report from New
York City that in that city Easter
Sunday the Church goers filled to ca
pacity many of the houses of worship,
and in some instances signs had to be
placed on the doors of the Churches,
stating that the buildings were tilled
to capacity.
The New York Times states that in
some “edifices overworked ushers
whispered to beleaguering crowds that
there was not another inch of space"
and "so many experienced another nov
elty—‘shopping’ for a Church not too
full to welcome them. There was
much scurrying about of that sort,
some going afoot to oue place after
another in a neighborhood, others
speeding over the city in private mo
tors or taxhabs. But it was all of
little use, for there seemed not to be
an empty pew or even a vacant corner
anywhere.”
Somehow we can’t get the feeling
that everything is "going to the dogs"
when there are evidences on every
hand of an increased interest in the
Church and its work. More Bibles
were sold last year than any year in
history, indicating that more people
are reading them than ever before.
And yet there are people going about
shouting a doetriue of pessimism and
gloom so far as religibn is concerned.
THE SOUTHERN’S FINEST SER
VICE.
“The finest train service ever in
augurated on the Southern System"
is the way the State Corporation Com
mission characterizes the new sched
ule to be put on April 29th by the
Southern Railway Company. The
schedule was announced yesterday by
the commission.
Better connections from this State to
the west is the real reason for the
new schedule, and it is apparent that
the new plans of the Southern will
tnfce care of a need that has-been felt
for some time. Under the new sched
ule trains Nos. 21 and 22 become fast
• traius from Goldsboro to Asheville
• with through Slfeiter to Cincinnati.
: and new trains to care or their local
traffic have been provided for.
The new schedule also calls for bet
ter connections at junction points such
as Charlotte. Greensboro and Salis
bury, and new trains or changed run
ning time for old trains have ln*en
provided, to make these connections.
All together the schedule seems a
complete one. and it bids fair to be
just what the commission says it will
I be, “the finest train service ever in
augurated on the Southern System.”
A REASONABLE SUM.
Governor Morrison announces that
the State will pay the lawyers who
represented it in* the railroad litiga
tion a total fee o $25,000. Os this
amount Judge Bynum will get $15,-
000; Locke Craig will get $5,000 and
Thomas Warren will get $5,000. In
cluded in the Judge Bynum’s $15,000
will be a fee for his (assistant, Sidney
Alderman.
We think $25,000 is a reasonable
fee. The lawyers at first sought fees
totalling $55,000, it was stated official
ly. while unofficial reports said the
fee's totalled STO.OOO. We think such a
sum would have been too much. These
attorneys fought hard and jlong for
the State, to be sure, hut it seems that
the $25,000 agreement should take care
of them all right. ,
In announcing the agreement Gov
ernor Morrison stated that the State
had made arrangements for the ser
vices of Judge Bynum in the future,
should they lie needed, for a fee of not
more than SIO,OOO.
GOOD BUSINESS PROSPECTS.
According to a recent report of the
Federal Reserve Board of Richmond,
Va„ February business conditions this
year "measured up higher" than those
of the corresponding month of 1922 and
“fell very little short of January this
year.” The board report states fur
ther that all reports received during
the mouth under review indicate a
strong probability of satisfactory
spring and early summer trade.
“Member banks reporting weekly to
the Federal Reserve Bank showed in
creased loans as their customers pre
pared for crop planting, and mercan
tile and industrial activity with the
passing of the winter.” the report
continued. "Savings bank figures con
tinued to rise in both member and
non-membeer banks, reflecting at least
a reasonable degree of prosperity
among wage earners, and the first
installment of income taxes collected
by tilt* United States proved that 1922
incomes were considerably above those
of 1921.”
Increased wages granted textile
workers in this section is another indi
cation ol' good business, the report
shows, going on to give statistics ami
figures that indicate a healthy busi
ness for the near future.

eastern Wake county shortly bei'ori
8 o’clock tonight, according to re
pons received here.
The tornado, which is said to have
originated in the edge of Johnston
county, took a northeastern course
.east Vs Wendell and freakishly skip
ped here and there, demolisning
everything in its pjft'h for two hun
dred yards or more and then leaving
the path or the next two hundred
yards untouched.
It swept within one half mile of
Wend? 11 where it wrought damage tc
the extent of $15,000 on the farm of
J. R. Richardson, and is declared to
have blown down a building in
Zebtilon, which is tonight cut off
from communication.
All the physicians in Wendell and
the country adjacent are busy in
tin* stricken district, and freqaeid
calls are coming into local drug
stores for medical assistance. Thus
far no deaths have been reported
though-a negro woman and child have
been sent to _a Raleigh hospital in a
serious condition.

HARLOTTE TO HAVE
MEDIC AL COLLEGE
lYecHctipn Made It Will Be Erected
and Governed by Trinity College.
.’-harlotte News.
Statements made to tine Kiwanis
’lub meeting Thursday by Dr. Otlio
Ross and Representative Edgar W.
Miarr. both of whom have been ejspe
•iallr interested and active in the ef
'ort to have a medical college estab
islied in the state, and who now say
'harlotto lias been definitely assured
>f tin* institution, excite public con
ideration by their remarks. They
poke with evident authority and not
n conjecture. They said every as
surance had l>ee.n received that eer
aiu interests would put tlie college
here in connection with some denomi
national college.
This newspaper has remarked be
fore upon the. probability and what it
and byway of prophecy seems, in the
light of these statements, to be about
to come to pass, namely, that tlie ad
ministrative heads of tlie University,
because of their feeling against Char
’otte and in favor of Chapel Hill as -a
>ite for the proposed institution had*
1 vailed in making it unlikely that the
rniversity would ever claim the honor
>f having the medical college as an at
tachment.
It has l»e.f*n no secret of course that
t is Trinity College that will probab
ly sponsor the institution if it is erect
'd in Charlotte'. Trinity is fortunate
: n having financial backing more in
terested in tliis movement than the
General Assembly of file state appear

Mill Patriotic Citizens Buy Liquor?
The American Issue.
The ’Volstead Act passed by Con
gress prohibits any one from purchas
ing liquor for beverage purposes. The
Turlington* Act passed by tlie recent
General Assembly, under sect on 2.
also prohibits the purchase of liquor
for beverage purposes. Is it possible
►for a patriotic citizen to violate in one
act both the national and the state
aws? Note also that the Turlington
measure in its classification of citi
zens places the manufacturer, seller,
transporter and purchaser all in the
same class, and provides that everyone
is guilty of a misdemeanor. Surely no
patriot will thus be found violating
the country’s laws.

“Tan Lac habuilt me up twelve
pounds and I am now feeling strong
and healthy, just like my friends all
say L look,” declared Mrs. P. M.
Washburn, riglily respected resident
of Shelby, N. C.
"I suffered from nervousness, indi
gestion and was in a very run-down
condition for years. My stomach was
in such a wretched state there were
few things I could eat and digest,
and many times i couldn’t retain any
thing. Gas formed en my stomach
and caused me terrible distress, and
I was very weak and worn out. I
had no strength or energy, never felt
like doing anything, and was simply
tired out all the time.
"But six batik's of Tanlae made me
fuel like a new person. My digestion
never troubles me, my appetite is fine,
and that nervous, run-down condition
is a thing of the jjwist. Ia in more
than glad to recommend Tanlae to
others, for I am sure‘it has no equal
for troubles like mine.”
