LEVIATHAN NOT LARGEST
SHIP. BRITISHERS INSIST
They Will Collect SI2OO From America
for Making That Claim.
Southampton. Eng.. July 11.—The
Leviathan is not the largest ship in the
world. The American government can
style her that, and get away with it. but
the liner will have to pay SI2OO for the
privilege every time she enters this port.
AVhen the Leviathan was reconditioned
it was claimed her net tonnage was in
creased from 23.548 to 27.090. AA'lien
she reaches here tomorrow she will have
to pay $8,090 in harbor dues, $1,200 of
which is solely due to the net tonnage
increase.
On that figure the Leviathan can be
called the largest ship afloat, and Lloyds
accepts it, although the Alajestic’s di
mensions are slightly larger.
An Unpopular Law.
Gastonia Gazette.
The more we see of this railroad cross
ing stop law, the less we like it. The
only good we can see in it is to absolve
the railroads from blame in the case of
an accident. Fool drivers and irrespon
sible idiots, for whose safety the law
was passed, are not going to stop at the
crossing unless there is a deputy there
to stop them. Sensible, law-abiding driv
ers who are never endangered by a speed
ing train, because they stop, iook and
listen, will observe 'tlie law because it is
a law, not because there is any virtue in
it.
And. according to reports from one
who has been fined for failure to ob
serve the law, it will cost you $29.20
every time you are arrested. That is the
least cost. The miniipum fine is $lO.
The costs amount to $19.25. The solici
tor gets eight dollars, the deputy sheriff,
who makes the arrest, gets two or three
dollars, the magistrate gets a goodly
slice, and the witnesses also get a good
I chunk. Then there is the cost of is
suing the necessary papers, etc. They
tell us that $29 or S3O is the least at
which you cau get out for failing to ob
serve this law if arrested.
Furthermore, it is a lot more dangereus 1
to cross a railroad track, while shifting
gears, as the majority do, who do come
to a halt, than to go straight across in
high at 20 or 25 miles per hour. There
is more danger of an engine’s choking
and stalling on the track.
If there are not some modifications
the law is going to be mighty unpopular
in this neck of the woods. ’ I

| The Y. M. C. A. force worked like

j occurred in. the program. Everything
went off smoothly. Probably the most
important and gratifying part of the
'celebration <was the total absence of all
! aspects of drinking and rowdyism. Not
a single arrest was made during the day
1 for breach of conduct. This is one
l thing Kannapolis should be proud of,
35,000 to 37,000 people gathered together
