Tite State law requiring all auto driv ers to stop before crossing railway tracks is in force now. The near law be came effective July first, and will be en forced from now, on. Just how the State enforce the law at all points is a much discussed/question, but there is every, reason to believe that some plaik will be devised whereby the violators of the law can he detected. In Virginia, we are told, persons living pear cross ings. or having stores near crossings, are'appointed, officers of the law. and even in the remotest sections there are watchers to detect the law violators. Such a policy may be followed ill this State for at many of the crossings in the country can be found a store or dwelling, where someone can be on live watch out at all times. Two sections of the lav.- which explain it fully read: “Section I. That no person (derat ing any motor vehicle upon a public road shall cross, or attempt to cross, any rail ** or intcrurban track intersecting the road at grade other than a crossing at which there is a gate or a watchman (except au electric railway tracks in a city, town or village) without first bring ing said motor vehicle to a full stop at a distance not exceeding fifty (50) feet from the nearest rail. That no failure so to stop, however, shall be considered contributory negligence per se in any ac tion against the railroad or interurban company for injury «to person or proper ty ; but the facts relating to such fail ure to .\top may be considered with the other facts in the case in determining whether the 'plaintiff was guilty of con tributory negligence. “Section 2. That any person violat ing the provisions of this act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon con viction. shall be fined not more than 10 dollars, or imprisoned not more than 10 days, or both, in the discretion of the court.” HAVE WE LOST THE FEAR OF DISEASE? Diphtheria has been very prevalent in North Carolina during the past several months, and the situation has given State health officials great concern. During May and June diphtheria is nos expected to make much headway, as flic latter part of July and August is_the time the disease is usually more prevalent. The cause of the disease this year has been the subject of much discussion aud ex perts 'do uot seem agreed as to the cause. In discussing health conditions gen erally. Dr. S. E. Buchanan, county health officer for Cabarrus, recently ex pressed the view that diphtheria, has been more prevalent this year because people have lost their fear of disease, and this explanation seems very practi cal. While diphtheria has not been prev alent in this county so far this year. Dr. Buchanan expressed some concern as to what the disease will do this month and in August becaus|e people do not seem to take the matter seriously and are not giv ing their children the antitoxin. The i same situation exists in regard to ty phoid fever. Cabarrus county has had little typhoid in many years, but hereto-, fore thousands of people in the county liave takeVi the vaccine each \ear, and ' this year, there has been a let-up. “Just because we have been free trow diphtheria aud typhoid fever, generally > speaking.” Dr. Buchanan stated, “the people seem to have lost their fear of the diseases. That is the explanation I would give for The prevalence of diph theria at this time- of the year. I have been giving the diphtheria serum and typhoid scrum for several months now, but the people ar> jmot responding in large numbers to my offer to give the serum free of cjtiaigc. “Jt seewp that’ the people are going to wait until we have several deaths from the diseases before they take them seri- OHsly again. * That s the trouble. We have been so free from the diseases of re » cent years that people are no longer afraid of them. They have reached the poi*t where they tkiftk they are iqjpjiise That is the danger point. They were ini' 1 mime so long as they were given the ty phoid vaccine and so long as they gave their children the diphtheria serum, but! they seemingly have become careless again. It will take several deaths to im prjj*»s upoji the people the necessity of the typhoid and diphtheria vaccines.” Dr. Buchanan gives the typhoid and diphtheria serums each Saturday and each Wednesday afternoon. / They are given free of charge. There is no rea son why the people of Cabarrus county should not take advantage of this oppor-; tunity (o make themselves and their chil- : drem safe from these two fatal diseases. ✓ _ _______ ___ NO WET PLANKS. The wets in various parts of the coun try are doing a Jpt of talking now in an effort to stir up interest in their cause during the next Presidential jjlection. The action of New York State in making null and void the State (Try laws was the first big gun in the campaign of the pro hibition opponents, and an effflrt lias been madeV> get other States to follow New York’s lead. v All of This agitation is for oue pur pose—to get the two major parties to insert wet planks in their platforms. Neither will do this. While certain east ern centers which house many foreign ers are in favor ,of beer and wine, the: South and practically every rural com munity is for prohibition. The question is a delicate on I. too delicate in fact, for the Democrats and Republicans to tackle, and we expect both parties Fo stick by prohibition. In fact the Repub lican party is already pledged. In one of liis western speeches President Hard ing came out very strongly for our dry . laws and their strict enforcement, and in view of this fact the Republican party is not likely to endorse a wet plank. The Democratic party, generally speaking, has always been dry. aud though Govern or Smith and former Governor Edwards, and a few other leaders, have been in clined to favor a modification of the dry laws, there is no concerted effort’ to in fluence the greater majority of the Dem ocrats. The United States is dry and it is go ing to stay that way. The Dempsey-Gibbons fight is now *a thing of history. Thousands of people paid thousands of dollars to see the fight, but even at that the crowd was nothing to what had been expected. Dempsey, demanding .8390,000. got most of his money, but Gibbons will probably get nothing. He put up a fine fight, but seems to have been the goat of the fight. He -was fighting for high stakes, to be surer but there were few people who thought he had any chance, aud we doubt if lie were very optimistic himself. We believe a majority of the people were pulling for Gibbons, too, Dempsey has always been a big money tighter. His threats to call off the bout on the eve of its schedule because lie did not get all of the money he had demanded, made him even more unpopular. People like to see a champion who cares for something besides money. He is entitled to a good liviug, to he sure, but it takes some of the honor from him when lie shows very plainly that lie is using liis title for money-making alone. Reports from the ringside said only 20.000 persons were present. Dempsey’s tactics were respon sible for the small crowd, we believe. Brock Barkley, writing from Raleigh, declares that A. W. McLean already has a strong organization working for his nomination for Governor by the Demo crats at jflie next primary. At the same time the Barkley letter comes out there appear other reports which show that J. W. Bailey is also working hard for the nomination. Mr. Bailey has made numerous speeches in the State recent ly. and he has many others scheduled for this month. In nearly every instance he utilizes the address as a means of set ting forth some policy that he advocates. Mr. McLean is also being heard at vari ous places, aud though the two men have not announced thofuselves, they both are working now with each practical oppor tunity. THE SALISBURY BANK OUTLOOK IS BETTER President of Defunct. Institution Con fers With Comptroller. Washington, July 2. —That a re ceiver will be appointed for-the Peoples National Bank, of Salisbury seems cer tain. J. Kemp Doughton. president Os tlie bank and H. A. Rouzer. interested in its affairs, were lieri* today aud bad a conference with the Comptroller of the Currency as to its troubles. That the bank will have to be liquidated was all that the Comptroller would say of its affairs, according to Mr. Doughton.—that in all probability a receiver would be appointed. He states that T. J. Lynch, of __ThomasvHlle aud E. F. McGowan of Charlotte, had been agreed upon as co-receivers for the Mecklenburg Mills and tlurt their ap pointment only waited on Judge Boyd. “I feel pretty sanguine as to the out look.” said President Doughton. “Mat ters both for the bank and the mills are much better than they were three weeks ago. The mill situation is much beter.” It is learned that among other mat ters discussed with the Comptroller, there was presented to him a p’an to haVe another organization take over the affairs of the Peoples National Bank but tat no determination was reached as to this. The home of Christine Nilsson in Mdß rid. where she lived for % u time after her marriage to Comte (le Miranda, was dec orated in a most singular fashion. Wreaths, garlands and faded bouquets presented to the singer covered the walls of\sie dining room. > th^jdrawing room was papered with the scores of the differ -1 ept operas in which Mme. Nilsson had • sung, while another rung was liung with . laudatory notices cut from the newspa , p p rs of all nations. • { Mahogany trees do not reach their •! full height until they are 200 years old. TAXON BILLBOARDS AND SIGNS WANTED 8Y SENATOR CURTISS - —1 —"T—■ r Kansas Senator Thinks Signs Which Are Springing Up Like Mushrooms Should Bring in More Revenue. WILL BRING THE MATTER UP LATER When Congress is in Session, and May Ask for Tax Bas ed Upon the Square Feet of Each of the Signs. Washington, July B.—A new source of revenue probably will be proposed at the next session of Congress by Senator Cur tis, of Kansas, republican whip of the Senate. While he has not perfected details of liis bill. Senator Curtis said today lie had given much thought to the billboards and signs which are springing up like mushrooms along the highways of the country as a legitimate subject for Feder al taxation and virtually had decided to place a tax upon them based upon the square feet of each. In the opinion of Senator Curtis such a tax would prove a fruitful source of income without imposing a burden upon the public at large. It is not liis inten tion to a tax upon signs expos ed by dealers upon their own property. STRENUOUS DAY FOR PRESIDENT HARDING President to Attend Oregon Trail Cele bration. to Be Held in Village of Meacham. On Board President Harding’s Spe cial Train, July 8 (By the Associated Press). —President Farding faced today the most strenuous day’s program of his western trip in the smallest town he lias yet visited. The program had to do with Oregon Trail celebration and the town is Meacham.•Oregon, 10 miles from a railroad, and with a population of 51 persons. The population of the little town, how ever. was augmented greatly by visitors from all parts of the state and from n(U joining states who joined in celebration of the 80th anniversary of the arrival of the first Jcagon train in the Williamette Valley. .'.Reports received by the Presi dential party said automobile parties had been arriving -in Meacham for several days, and that by the time the chief ex ecutive arrive? there the population will have increased just 1,000 times. BOK WILL OFFER BIG LEAGUE ENTRY PRIZE V Retired Editor Plans 8100.000 Award For Best Plan to Get United States In.

Greensboro, July I.—The express routing controversy, in 'which mer chants and business men of several of the cities of North Carolina engaged with (die American Express Company early this year, winning a victory by reason of an order of the Interstate Commerce Commission on March 12. kasx flared up again, with merchants of Greensboro, Charlotte, Burlington, Haw River, Thomasville, Lexington, High Point. Graham. Reidsville Salisbury. Mebane, Gastonia and other places ask ing the commission to make another order actually forbidding the going into effect of the “victory” order. _ The merchants, who fought the system by which it was alleged the American Company touted over circuitous routes, causing higher carrying charges and delays of trom several hours to two days, are acting through their associations, chambers of commerce! and' ns individuals. It is charged that a tariff that be comes effective ou July 14. due to the order of the Interstate Commerce Com imission, is actually made inoperative by its lteiuo. a sort of “joker” or rider that nullifies the whole intent of the order, J. \V. Trimble, secretary of the local Merchants Association, states. For that , the Interstate < Commerce Commission is asked to make another order which will forbid the going into effect of the new tariff. New ‘Coue Formula’ Stirs Paris, But Professor Disavows. Baris, July 3. —“The new formula attributed to me. ‘Oh, hell. I am well.’ is a canard, and I beg you to deny it,” Professor Emile Coue telegraphed from Nancy today. ■* “I still use my old formula, ’Every day in every way.’ etc., and I do not think it can be improved upon.’^ Despite Professor Coue’s disapproval, the new formula has taken popular fancy in Paris, and people on the street can be heard muttering in in every known language. Governor Morrison Off For Asheville. Qharlotte, July —Governor Morri son left here tq’day, for Asheville, where lie \s expected-to spend several weeks thit* summer. He had been erroneously ! reported yesterday as having left early l in the morning. Rev. O. C. Myers and family are spend ing some time with relatives in Wash ington. THE CONCORD TIMES HOW SCOPOLAMIN INDUCES TRUTH TOLD BY DR. HOUSE Eliminates All Will, Thinking, Dream ing and Reasoning—Hearing, Only- Sense Left. Manifests Its Sole Func tion, the Memory. New York World. That seopolamin. completely inhibit ing the mind, producing unconscious ness and a quiet brain while allowing (he centre of hearing to function, is the basis of “truth extraction” from criminals, is the assertion of Dr. R. E. House of Ferris, Tex., who used the drug Wednesday in a series of sensa tional experiments upon prisoners in the San Quentin, Cal., penitentiary. In the reporta from the prison after the drug had been administered one man was proved innocent of murder, a second admitted a crime and a third re vealed .his identity. Upon the circulation of the report of these experiments a division occurred among scientists and physicians, some upholding the conten tion the drug would cause true revela tions, others- rejecting the claim. Seopolamin is the drug used in the so-called twilight sleep method of child birth, which lias been met by hostility from some branches of the medical pro fession ever since its importation to this country from Germany before the; war. It. lqjs. nevertheless taken firm hold in one hospital after another and Its growth into general use sems as sured. Dr. House, who has projected seo polamin into a new channel differenti ates its use in the “harmless third de gye<>” from i,ts manner of employment in childbirth. In writing of the actions of tin* drug upon men charged with crime lie says: “1 most earnestly request the read ers of the article not to confound thro technique required for obstetrics with the method advised to be followed ill criminal work. In obstetrics you ouly .attempt to alleviate pain. If you made a woman as drunk as you •should -a suspected criminal, you would stop f< r a whil,e her pains. “The object of using seopolamin in criminology is to inhibit the mind with | it s ston'd events, called memory—con sequently they should be made totally unconscious to produce an absolutely quiet brain. To completely destroy every appreciation of their environment, to every vestige of the will power, to make it impossible for them to even think, dream, or reason, such patieftfs are only completely seo polamitiized. “Upon such patients I have proven clinically that the centre of bearing is the first centre ill the brain to func tion. The centre of feling is next. The centre of sight is next. The centre of smelling is last. Also, the centre of hearing makes the other four centres subservieent ,>and. furthermore. the centre of hearing can make the centres of the 'other four senses function before the special nerve to each of the four centres can make its own centres func tion. “When the centre of hearing is stimulated. iT manifests the only, func tion it possesses, viz.; Memory. ■ Hence the auditory centre is able to call into play whatever association neurons are required to complete the answeer to a queestion asked. “When a jterson is too intoxicated to reason or think, it should be easy to see why the answer comes like the knee jerk, automatically, and not 'from the control of the will power. “The fact tluii a subject, does not remember when he wakes up any ques tions asked nor any answers to any question he gave should invite confi dence in the function of seopolamin. ‘ “The explanation for so many fail ures with the so-called truth serum (a misnomer like twilight sleep) is be cause a state of obstetrical anaes thesia only was induced. and the (House's) receptive stage was never produced from a lack of sufficient drugging, or the making of questions too long to be retained and understood. “The criminal test will only be suc cessful in the receptive stager' This con dition of the mind is first observed when, the reflex are is established. In physics, this "phenomenon is called the Bell Magunli law of condition.” MEMORIAL TABLET TO LATE AMBASSADOR PAGE Tablet Was Unveiled in Westminster Abbey by Former Foreign Secretary Viscount Grey.

NORWOOD TO QUIT AS PARTY’S CHAIRMAN Issues Call For the Committee to Meet at Raleigh Wednesday, July 11th. Salisbury, July 2.—J. Dave Norwood, chairman of the State. Democratic Ex ecutive Committee for the past year and a half, is tonight sending out a letter to members of the executive committee call ing them to meet at Raleigh on the 11th and at that time he will resign as chair man of the committee. “I have neither the time nor the money to remain as chairman of the party,” Mr. Norwood told a reporter today, “and I will insist upon the acceptance of the resignation.” Mr. Norwood says he did not discuess hit? resignation with A. D. Watts and J. A. Hart ness, who were here last week and whose appearance together at the governor’s office caused gossip about the selection of a successor to him as chair man, and he also said the informal con ferences reported from Raleigh was news to hime. While there are said to have been no demands from members of the commit tee that Mr. Norwood resign, he consid ers that partisons would cause the party embarrassment by liking his private busi ness with party affairs. Mr. NOrwood decided to resign shortly after Judge Boyd ordered a receivership for the Mecklenburg Mills Company of which he is president, but did not definitely an nounce this determination until today. Last week the Evening Post, Mr. Nor wood's home town paper, called on him to resign the chairmanship because 'of the financial, status of his mills aud his bank. Rotary and the Press. Goldsboro News. The State editors assembled at Blow ing Roek last week adopted a code of °thics, intended to be only an outline of principles to which newspaper publishers should strive to live up to and” make alive at all times. At the great meeting of Rotary Inter national just held at St. Louis Mr. James T. Williams, of Boston, editor of the Boston Transcript, made a speech,. Among other things Mr. Williams said: The code of American journalism is recently adopted by the American So ciety of Xewspai>ers Editors contains ■iglit canons which codify the sound practice and just aspirations that of a free press—a system of principle to which the members of a free press it would appear must adiiere if they would assume the moral obligations that go with the political rights of a fre press. These canons concern the opportunities of the press as a chronicle, and its obli gations as a teaehor and interpreter; its freedom, its independence, its sincerity, truthfulness aud accuracy, its passion' for fair play, and its sense of decency. As Rotary’s code of ethics charts away of life for the world of honest business, so these canons of journalism chart a way of life which a free press must fol low if it is to shoulder the responsibility that is the twin of freedom. To com mand these canons to the reading and advertising and public represented by Rotary International, to bespeak for them the formal endorsement and sup port of Rotarians is*- not only a privilege, it is a duty without whose performance this discussion would be merely academic. To interpret the facts, to stimulate thought about them, to provoke discus sion. to reflect opinion. to direct opinion, to organize opinion—all these things a free press must strive to do in addition, si it would be a teacher, an interpreter and a leader of the free men it was freed to serve. But the interpretation offered, the thought stimulated, the dis cussion' provoked, the opinion reflected, directed or organized, must upon each occasion possess a foundation of fact, not of falsehoood, and not of opinion or emo tion dressed up to pass as fact. Thus to understand and thus to serve ‘the great jury of the people” is to qualify to lead them and for a free press there is no nobler responsibility than the leadership of a free people. But to choose the function of leadership a free press must “pay the price of leader ship which is loyalty to the truth”—the tiuth for which “all creation has never been able to find a substitute”—thetrith that goes home to the heart of 4nan and on the hearthstone of the heart of man there keeps alive the love of liberty, a passion for justice and a longing that leads men to live and gladly die for ‘the righteousness s that exijlteth a nation.” Concord Presbytery. Concord Presbytery is the middle one of the three Presbyteries that extend from t!ie central part of the state to the mountains. From the heart of the Pied mont. ( abaiTus, Rowan. Davie and Yad kin. it covers Iredell, Catawba, Alexan der, Caldwell. Burke and McDowell, ten counties, to the mountains. 58,460, or 32 7-10 per cent, of all, ten years and over out of the church in the 101!Hi census. There are (55 Presbyterian churches in ten counties, IS of which have a pastor for his whole time and 20 Churches are aided iu support of their work by the Home Mission funds of the Presbytery and Synod. There are also 17 mission stations where there is •no organized church. The Presbytery expended of its own funds .$1*2,9021 for Presbyterial Home Missions,for the year closing with Syn odylo22. A very careful survey of its unoccupied territory was made iu the simnder of 1922. Four seminary stu dents were employed under the direction of the Presbytery’s superintendent and a careful house to house canvass was made in the unoccupied sections. The result of the canvass indicated five fields of special promise needing work and ready for men as soon as we cau place them there. Tie organized churches of the Pre. ly te.-v are well supplied with march buildings, but ten of' the fields of the Presbytery are without manses. Rev. J. M. Clark i> D. Statesville, X.
