J Bible Thought For The Day 1 MAX'S APPEAL:—<\ Lord, revive 1 thy work in the midst of the years.— v Hahakkuk 3 :2. f NO SIGN OF SLUMP. !, The reports from New York City that $21,000,000 worth of building con- tracts have been cancelled or suspend- ■ ed during the past few days has caus- ed some people to believe that a de- pressing business slump is alKnit tb hit the cmintry. Certain people who are always looking for the dark and gloomy things are; ready now to give up. and tlrey predict that wifliiu an other six months business in the Tint ed States will he as had as it was two 1 years ago. 4 * 1 There is no reason for this attitude. < if business reports of the country can s (l>e believed. The building work in c New York and other cities has been v suspended it is true, but business con- s ditions did not cause it. The people s have enough money to carry on the r work, but they are taking cure of it t better than other people did two years c ago. Instead of being a bad omen the \ suspension of building seeius a good t omen to us. It shows that the people t have learned one lesson of extrava gance and''where three years ago they r would have gone on with the work. 1 even though they knew prices were mi- s reasonable, this year they are more t cautions. t Building activities in every part of- s the United States have been very act- t ive recently, and this fact has brought. 1 about keen competition. The contract- t ors have begun to bid against one an- s other for laborers and materials'and i this competition has sent everything skyward in price. That's the. reason many contracts have t>een held up. There is plenty of money to put them through but the American of. 15)23 is 1 taking Ik*ttor care of his money than t did the American of 1918 and 1919. < More building has been done in Con- 1 cord within the past 12 months than 1 had been done in any similar length of time in many, years. The same con- 1 dition holds true in other cities. Ev- 1 eryone seemed determined to get some- < thins built at the same time. This 1 naturally has run the price of mater- j ial and labor higher, and it is a good sign, we repeat, to see Americans sus pending work in order to ent out some of the comi>etition and thus lower the costs of building. NO RELIEF YJET. The Southern Railway Company ap parently Las done nothing so far in regard to stopping train No. 34 in Ccjji eord. People of this city who want to catch this train either must go to Charlotte or Salisbury. If was stated here several days ago that the South ern officials probably would take care of this city in the near future, but so far no definite announcement to this - effect lias been made. A number of Concord people, desir ing to get to New York City and other northern points as soon as possible with as little time lost to their busi ness a* uual. wanted to ride this new train, but they had no chance. They either hail to leave their business in the middle of the afternoon and go \Jo Salisbury, and catch the train or wait here until night and lose the next day iu New York City. Concord gives the Southern Rail way Company much business each month. There aye ho competing lines here, to lie sure, but that fact should not influence the Southerfa if it really wants to give the people of this, city the service they deserve. v ' Concord officials lmve found that or dinances are a very effective weapon to use when dealing with the Smdh • j •«* 1 , 1 \ ern. We wonder if an ordinance is i going to lie necessary liefore this city 1 get what it deserves in this instance. We hope not. j 1 1 1 SEEING THE RESULTS. t ' - | j Several months ago when the eonn-jj try first began to realize the great' ] strides the South is making in textile manufacturing, Thomas F. McMahon, I President of the Textile Workers of I America, told some of hip union com- j rades that all this talk about eott#n ( mill expansion in tlie South was noth- ( ing but hot air. The New England } mills, he told his hearers, would con tinue to do business as usual and that j the textile industry in the South would never flourish because the water in • the Southern States is not suited to | textile uses. , And now from Fall River come state- j merits that some of the biggest mills ( in that center have closed their doors, , Twelve of them. in fact, have suspend ed operations, The report says, and . while some have suspended indefinite ly, others are expecting to resume op erations in southern plants which they j are nmv building or which they will build in the near future. The South as a textile center is j leading the world now. That situation . seems rather peculiar in view of the fact that Mr. McMahon says conditions here are not favorable for textile de- velopment. ' j Persons who have doubted reports from the South relative to textile ac tivities must see now tliaV reports . have not been exaggerated. Already we are using more cotton and turning out more goods than the New England ( plants and we are just beginning to . grow. ' t We do not think, of course, that all ( of the textile plants in the New Eng land States will he put out of business by the Southern Mills, but at the same time many of them will and the oth ors will feel more keenly than they ‘ have in the past the Southern compe tition. m HOLES IV STREETS. Someone should take "the matter in * f hand and see if the many holes that have been cut in our paved streets re- ‘ cently can he patched. On almost any c street on which you drive these boles 1 can be seen and they are a danger as * well as a nuisance, .lust who is re- 1 sponsible for the holes being cut * seems to l*e a hard matter to deter- ' mine, hnt nevertheless the holes are 1 there and it does seem that the city 1 could have some system by which it 1 would check up on the holes and see r that tin* persons responsible for cut- 1 ting them put them back in good shape. 1 So long as changes to property are * made and new hodses are built it will Im' necessary to cut the holes in the streets, we suppose, but the fact that j they have to be cut does not relieve c the person cutting them of the respon- i sibility of filling them up-again* when f the work has been completed. The j boles Ix-come larger rapidly when left alone and in addition to being an eye- 1 sore, offer a danger to persons driv- 1 ing along our streets. * ' — l ——— <, TO INVADE TEXAS. * ._ i While officers of tin* Cariflon-Roberts j Interests. Inc., lmve made no definite , announcement of their plans, it is gen- ] erall.v understood that the company 1 will operate not only in Nortji Caro- ‘ lina. hut also as far west and south/as ( Texas. At present Texas is pot a textile center, although great quanti- 1 ties of cotton are raised there and con- . ditions for this industry are said to he fine. Mr. M. L. CalMion, of this city, and Mr. L. W. Roberts. Jr., of Atlanta, two of the incorporators of the new company, have spent much time in Texas recently, and it is known that while there they discussed the erec tion of textile plant* in Texas with some of the most prominent business men in several Texas cities. The ex act status of affairs in Texas have not been made public by the officers of tin* new- $1,000,000 company, but it is un derstood tljey found a large field for their activities, with a number of weal-, , thy Texas men ready to put tlieir mon ey into textile plants. Texas seems a logical place for tex * tile plants. That Stafe raises more i cotton than any other Southern State. ; It hare ample railroad facilities, and its waterways offer excellent shipping . facilities to European countries. The * labor problem should not be a serious * one there, and with such men as Mr. . Cannon, with wide textile experience, , and Mr. Roberts, with wide experi r ence as a builder, behind them Texas i textile plants should be mailefvery sue* j eessful. i* In the near future we expect to t learn of the Cannou-Roberts Company going intp Texas with enough financial [. and moral backing to start a textile ti* movement there.which eventually will s make the Lone Star State one of the J 1 principal textile States of the country. I• * / y ' V PLENTY OF MONEY. .. That there is plenty of money in the a United States is evidenced by the fact i- 4 that when the United'States govern- ment offered .$400,000,000 worth ol bonds to complete the refunding of the Victory notes, more than a billion dol- lars was offered by persons anxious to get possession of some of the bonds. The Philadelphia Record says the amount of money “tucked away and not bearing _ interest is estimated roundly at $250,000,000. Uncashed Liberty Bonds total $58,000,000, un paid war savings certificates amount to $120,000,000 and Victory notes, which have matured and have been ' called for redemption, But have nev'er come out of their hiding places, rep resent millions of dollars.” And with all this wealth, people are losing money 1 every day on some ! of these securities, which no longer bear interest. People are so careless in the United States that many of them do not even know what they tire supposed to do with their securities, nor how to collect the interest on them. Thous ands of dollars have been lost to many people lately becauske of ignor ance and carelessness. Governor Cameron Morrison has been given free reins in the prison in vestigation matter, and it seems only reasonable that the public should give him a chance to make good with his investigation before condemning him for requesting the board of charities and public welfare not to assist him. The Governor made it plain that the board can continue its investigation, with as much publicity or as much se crecy as it pleases, but he doesn’t want it to represent him. as he has special plans he wants to try out and try to put into effect. The Governor has de clared that he is trying to hide noth ing, that he will give full publicity to the matter and that he wants to make ■ the investigation hiinself because lie wants to give North Carolina a modern prison system. We think he should be given the chance to make good his proposition before being so severely criticised. The senior Senator from Minnesota recently died suddenly while en route to his home from Washington. And immediately Governor Preus resigned from the Chief ExeeutiveShip of the State and the Lieut. Governor who suc ceeded him at pace appointed the for mer Governor to fill the unexpired term of the Senator. That’s going pretty, far to get office, it seems to us. If the Governor wanted the place it would have been better if he had ap pointed someone else to till the unex pireil term and then entered the race in a regular election. As The News and Observer sees it, “Governor Preus may be well fitted to be Senator, but it is a bad example to set” to iise such tactics to get any political office. J i Evading* Taxes. Certain brokerage houses in the larger cities of the state are now cir cularizing the state, offering to assist in converting taxable securities into those which are exempt from taxa tion. so as to enable the owner to evade the necessity foi' listing his stocks and bonds for taxation on May Ist. In this connection it should lie noted that Ch. 38, Public Laws. 1921. provides as follows: “Any person who, to evade the payment of taxes, surrenders or exchanges certificates of deposit in any hunk in this state or elsewhere for noil-taxpaying securities or property, or surrenders any taxable iffoperty for nontaxable property, and after the date of listing property has passed, takes said certificate or other taxable property back and gives up said lion-taxpaying securities or prop erty. or executes any fictitious note or other evidence of debt for deduction frlom his solvent credits, shall be guib ty of misdemeanor, and upon convic tion shall be fined not less than fifty nor more than two hundred dollars (one-half of which shall go to the in- or imprisoned not less than one \ionth nor more than six months.- or both. ’ While the statute does not literally cover the ease of the broker who advises this method *of evading taxes, and while the offense mentioned is so defined as to cover only the most obvious attempt at tax evasion, it is clear that such propaganda is-against the spirit of the law and the public policy of the state in favor of the col lection of all taxes due. Any business house in North Carolina that openly engages.in the encouragement of tin* evasion of taxation is an enemy of the state, and should be blocked, if not by the criminal law, at least by an awak ' ened public opinion.

But nowadays the minister of tlie gospel who talks that way is regarded as narrow-minded. Few. however, have made such a complete right-about-face as the Rev. E. J. Saxton. Addressing tlie Dur ham. Yorkshire and Northumberland Congregational Union at Leeds rerent > ly, lie said : “I should like to see our religious papers give evt/y week a list* of plays, worth seeing.

THE CONCORD TIMES THE BATTLE OF ALAMANCE. (By J. B. Robertson.) Today, May 1(5, 1923, 152 years ago the Battle of Alamance was fought on the old Hillsboro and Salisbury road about nine miles Southwest of Bur lington. The name, of course, did not originate from our county name, Ik*- cause the date of the battle preceded tlie creation of our county by many years. The date of the battle was May 16, 1771, and Alamance was created or made from a part of Orange- in 1848. The battle of Alamance took name from the stream on which or near which it was fought—Ala mance. To locate things by streams or hill or mountain in these days was a natural way and the only way as there was very little else to use —few villages and towns. The battle was fought between Gov. Try on, who was Governor of the Car olina Colony and JJie Regulators. The "Regulators” were a band of farm ers who banded themselves together to • regulate” the ’unjust” not the just, collection of taxes. Gov. Tryon gath ered his men in the East and marched against, the Regulators in the West —; West from Hillsboro, tlie capital of the colony. The Regulators were untrained for., war. They were not organized for military battle. They were only part ly armed and-were not supplied with the munitions of war. Tryon on the ..other hand had trained men and sev eral pieces of artillery. There were some negotiations be tween the two armies looking to a set tlement without hloodSliedt But it was of no avail. Tryon, it seems, be came enraged and exclaimed, "Fire! Fire! Fire on them or on me.” These wordV would also indicate that his men were slow to tire on their broth ers whose cause seemed to just. One historian states that Tryon fired the first gun on a prisoner named Robert Thompson, killing him instantly. This statement raised in the writer's mind two questions: First. luA\ could there he prisoners when there had been no war? Second, why did he want to shoot a prisoner? Such procedure is - against the rules of war: and there were those just in front of him who woiv not prisoners and ready to shoot at him. These two questions remained in the writer’s mind for years unan swered. Since I have found two an swers varying some in their noture. Outruns thus: As Tryon crossed Haw river below the present town of Graham, near the river he took a farm er by the name of Thompson prisoner because Thompson billed with tin* Regulators. When Thompson saw the Regulators on the battlefield of Ala mance he started to go to them and was killed by Tryon. How all of this actually occurred may he a matter of conjecture, but that Robert Thompson was the first man killed all have agreed. The battle raged for two hours. The Regulators got out of ammunition and were driven from the field. Tryon lost nine men killed ai.d 61 wounded. Os the regulators there were 31 killed and about 200 wounded, of the pris oners taken by Tryon some six or more, were banged on tlie ground, tin* others were kept for a public execu tion and military display at Hillsboro. Thus ended the first battle of the Rev olution. A beautiful and yet pathetic story is told in connection with the execu tion of the prisoners at Hillsboro. It is said that a small lad .approached the officers in charge of the execution and said. "Let me be hanged in place of the men." And the officer turned to the hoy and said, “what* do you mean?" The youth responded, “that is my fa ther and let me he hanged in his place and let him go home to work for moth er and little brothers and sisters.’ The officer exilafined, “a people made of so stern a stuff will seme day he free." Freedom was seen in embryo, and a prophet suoke. Mark the fact that the Battle of Alamance was fought May 16. 1771. and the Nation did not declare inde pendence until July 4. 1776. It takes bravery for those in humble station to set the fashion for-41uit which is not yet fashionable. Some would claim that ns independence was not declar ed until ’76. the* Buttle of A laui a nee in )71 was a rebellion and does not belong to tlie Revolution. But Revo lution is rebellion against the power in authority, and that is what the Bat tle of Alamance was. So freedom had her birth on the battlefield of Ala mance. Long before the Lexington i’gul Coni'ord and Bunker Hill battles were written in the history of war fare and bloodshed. Alaimnee was scaled in solid truth, and tlie Regula tors had spoken the first word with shot and shell against British tyrany, and for eternal deliverance for the American people. When the great era of freedom comes, when Monarchies everywhere shall have been blotted from the face of the earth and Republics have taken their places: and the question shall go forth who has taken off’ the chains and wlio lias given us liberty, the an swer shall be, the heroes who sleep 'ln silent slumber beneath the sod on the battlefield of Alamance were the first to light the torch. In 1880 (and this in uninteresting story within itself) the first maiiu meiit was erected to mark this spot. A small shaft on. a base to match was placed upon a stone pedestal. The stone pedestal was hot built as firm and seemv as it might have btm and ip a few years it began to give way. In 1895. just fifteen years after the first monument was erected the Coun ty Commissioners had the monument reaired by having built of solid stone granite a pedestal for the original shaft and base. This repair with the original shaft makes a solid sym metrical little monument, and it stands • there low, a silent, lone little sentinel keeping wateli over the graves of tlie' first martyrs to freedom’s cause. I*. B.' The blowing up of the pow der bv the Black Boys of Cabarrus and the Battle of Alamance are two parts of tlie same story: and but for the destroying of the powder on Phif er’s Hill bv ! tin 1 Bhiek Boys of|C*abar rusi, the,Regulators would have had to meet on the Battle of Alamance an 1 firmed force even more completely equipped with the munitions of war.

In Past Ten Years Ratio of Divorces to Marriages Has Doubled. Chicago, May 15.—One divorce has been, granted for every live marriage 'licenses in Chicago during the iirst three months in this year and in the last ten years the ratio of divorces to marriages has nearly doubled. In January. Febr/tnry and March 7,non marriage licenses were issued. During the same period circuit and su perior court judges signed 1.588 di vorce decrees. Some of the reasons for divorce ad vanced by thb jugdes are: Entrance of women into the fields of commerce, industry and business. “Too much jazz.” two much cabaret ing and liquor toting. • Tendency of the young married cou ple's to live with parents, thus becom ing susceptible to their influence. Failure of contracting parties to re gard properly the bonds of matrimony. Too little religion in the homes. Poor cooking,-owing to women want ing to leave “home lires" for a busi ness career and makeshift delicatessen dinners. Economic nffirriages where both hus band and wife work, figures indicate, are a success as the principals rarely seek dissolution from the matrimonial bonds. Ail Mil Service Costly. Air mail service pilots have flown ,5,281.823 miles since the service was inaugurated on May 15, 1018. accord ing to figures announced by Postmas ter General New. The service has cost $4,205,007.1*1). Much of this ex pense, however, has been for perma nent improvements, such as repair shops, development of landing fields and creation of a reserve airplane sup ply. The mail pilot’s life is not ull sunshine! the report shows. More than one-third of the trips, or 8,373, were in rain, snow, hail or fog. The nunilH'r of forced landings was reduc ed from 1.473 in 1021 to 573 in 15)22. Mr. Tew Accepts Pastorate at Baffin Baptist Church, Badin. May 11.—C. T. Tew, of Mexia.
