Members of the North Carolina Mo tion Picture Exhibitors’ Association are to, be congratulated for their decision to erect a handsome building at the Stonewall Jackson Training School, the State's school for boys. The building will be used for entertainment features, thus affording Wholesome recreation for the boys. Under the plan adopted by a commit tee* appointed by the association to make final plans sor v the building, the struc ture will be h,uilt of brick and stone, will contain a Handsome auditorium with a seating capacity of 1,000. two moving picture machines and a swimming pool. "While the “movie" machines are expect ed to furnish most of the entertainments put on in the building, the auditorium will provide the school with a meeting place where various kinds of entertain ments can be held. The swimming pool also, will be one of the chief features of the structure, and will fill a need that has been felt ever since the school was organ ized. Tin* “movie" men of the State plan to spend about 65.000 on the building and equipment. They will raise the money by turning over the proceeds of —. their theatres to the fund for one day, together with the salaries of their em ployees for one day. Since the public pays the money into the theatres, the public in a round-about way will be put ting up the money for the building, the theatre owners to pay any difference that may arise. "The motion pictures should furnish much wholesome amusement and recrea tion to the boys of the school, and should add much to their life at the institution. Every time a visitor stops and in spects the school he is immediately ini- 1 pressed. The case of the theatre men | who visited the school was not different from hundreds of others. They were im pressed with the size and completeness" of the training school plant, but inore_ than anything else they were impress ed with the system with which the school is managed. On every hand they found co-operation between the- head of the V»t*«wvl V v x ~ f school, the instructors and the pupils, and instead of finding an atmosphere of v hostility or a spirit of revolt that soine- V times is found in such institutions, they found almost a family spirit, with all of the boys in good health and excellent spirits. Which again shows that the Jackson Training School is one of the best man aged institutions in North Carolina. ANOTHER SET-BACK. f The Republican Old Guard has re ceived another set-back. Instead of elect ing Governor J. A. U. PrQus to the Unit ed States Senate, the voters of Minneso ta elected MUngus jotiusou. farmer-lab orite candidate. Early returns from the election were so overwhelming in Mr. Johnson’s favor that Governor Preup conceded the election early Monday night. Mr. Johnson is a follower of LaFol lette. which means that the administra tion will have one less vote in the next Congress than it had in the last. The new Minnesota Senator can be expected to follow the lead of Senator LaFollette. who has never been a Republican easily influenced or led. by the administration. The tariff has been very unpopular with Minnesota farmers. Their wheat has sold below the dollar mark, and ev en though Governor Preus came out in opposition to the tariff the voters of Minnesota showed that they are un willing to take any chances on a man who is recognized as an Old Guard, who would be expected to follow Senator Lodge and others apd. who might not carry out all of his- campaign promises once the administration exerted its in fluence ou him. The West is not for Harding. The people in that section have seeu the re cults attained t by the Republicans, aud at v every opportuuU v they. sbQwinj their \ -difeplea >urr vftbT'tW -iwfan.'AJslSftt* BOXING COMERCIALIZED. About 100.000 people crowded into Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jersey City sev eral nights ago and saw Jess Willard knocked into pugilistic oblivion by Luis Angel Firpo. the man from Argentine. And observers at the ringside declare “the crowd was the thing after all." It must have been the crowd for there was little to the fight. Willard, trying a come-back, had no chance against Firpo, who ini turn wYmld have no chance against Dempsey, according to expeerts. The 100.000 people present paid about 709.000 to see the two men tight, and they got nothing for their money. Several years ago the boxing game in America became unpopular because it became crooked. No one felt certain that the average fighter would do his best, and there was always the fear of a “frame-up.” . Tbat condition has been removed to a marked degree, and now the popularity of the sport is threatened by commercialism. .Tack Dempsey, wearing and holding the championship title, would not show sporting blood enough to fight Gibbons for his titleNvith out a .$300,000 guarantee. The Dempsey- Gibbous fight was better than the Firpo- Willard fight, but neither would stir the blood. Twenty years ago boxers fought for the honor as well as the money. There were first-class fighting men in those days, champions who evaded no oppon ent! challengers who did not bargain for a fortune before agreeing to enter the ring. The champion now is a business man and lie talks guarantees in large figures. He has become a capitalist and makes more in one bout than specialists in other lines receive in a lifetime for their efforts. People did not go to see the Dempsey-. Gibbons fight in large numbers, and Dempsey’s attitude about his money un questionably kept many away. A cham pion is entitled to a living, to be sure, but any particular sport in hurt when the leader refuses to risk his title with out being assured a sum' of money that guarantees luxury for him-in all future years. THE NEW STREET SWEEPER. Many Concord people have been frank and even severe in their criticism of the new street sweeper that was purchased by the city several months ago. The ma chine does not clean the streets, they contend, and instead of removing the dist and dirt, only serves to stir them up. At present there seem grounds for this criticism, but the makers of the sweeper and city officials who operate it. declare its worth will increase once the streets of the city are cleaned again, fol lowing the paving work and its accom panying dirt removing, and the excava tion work that has to be done in vari ous parts of the business section. The sweeper, under normal conditions, will function fine here, it is contended, and once the streets are cleaned of the heav ier dirt that has been dropped from wag one or carried on the streets by auto, buggy and wagon wheels, everything will be satisfactory. The pick-up Nmodel sweeper was a ne cessity here, it is contended by certain city officials. A machine that would flood the streets and thus wash them, could uot be used here because there is not enough fall on certain streets to carry the water off. The sewer lines would be clogged at all times, and the situation would be far from satisfactory. The city has spent about $7,000 on the sweeper. It should be given every op portunity to show its worth on our streets under normal <-onditious, and then iif it does not function better than it does now. we think the city should turn it in to the company which manufactured it. WHY MURDER HAS DECREASED. , The Calhoun Times notes that murders ' have become fewer in South Carolina ( during the past year, stating, "we do not see aud hear and read about as many murders iu South Carolina now. as for merly.” and offering an explanation that gets right at the heart of the trouble. “It is easily explained. Juries have been convicting, the courts have not been impeding justice. aud governors have been allowing the electric chair to perform On white people. The average murderer is a great coward after all. and has no hankering for tbat old Mo saic law which demands an eye for an eye aud a tooth for a tooth. It is mar velous how people can control passion when they think the law means some thing." . The murder situation iu South Caro lina became very acute at one time, but when the courts began to function more swiftly and more certainly, passions be came more controlled. It is all right to talk about uot taking the life of a human being in an electric chair or by hanging, but we wonder if life sentences would have the same effect and if mur ders would have decreased under such a law as they have under present laws. | ■ When a man knows that he is almost certaiu to have his life taken if he takes auother life, he is a little more recalci trant when his finger touches the trig- C ger ' * And what has been done iu South ( ar -1 olina to stop murders can be done in f that and other States to stop other law * violation. While we do uot mean that 1 death sentences 4 should be imposed on * the violators of other laws, we mean that r speedy and certaiu action 'by the courts t will have more effect thin anything s else in- bringing people 'to theirsenses ■ and creating within?them respfect.yiml fear for the laws. Jail sentences for e bootleggers and speeders will have a fine !- influence in checking two present day t ev ii H . If every auto driver knows that r Li*, tar will be taken froqi bin* for 12 t* months Artfen he Is caught doing'reck less driving, he will be more careful than if he knows it will cost him $lO. Speedy : ‘ and certain justice are the two things i that will curb lawlessness quicker than ! anything else. j SHOULD TRY TO LAND ORPHAN-J AGE. The members of the Junior Order are going to build a big orplmuage somer where in North Carolina. In this State the organization is very strong, and the orphanage is to be located in the State for that reason. The site for the plant has not been decided yet. Concord and Cabarrus county have strong Junior Order lodges. Members of the organization in this county have always taken a keen interest in their work and the general work of the order, and we hope they will make some effort to get the orphanage for this county. There are many ideal sites for the school in Cabarrus county. Our water supply is excellent, our railroad facilities are usually fine. It would be no mis take to locate the orphanage here, and we want to see the Juniors here make an effort to get it. Members of the North Carolina legis lature were given another scare this, week when it became known that an er ror by a clerk or someone in the last Assembly had prevented a bill giving the State prison its funds from passing. If the money could not have been secured in some other manner, it meant the sol ous would have to gather iu Raleigh eith er this mouth or August, and such pros pects are not very inviting. Raleigh is not the coolest place in the world in the summer. AN AGED BRIDEGROOM IN COURT AT MONROE >l. C. Helms. 70 Years Ohl. Convicted of Hitting His 53-Year-Old Wife. Monroe, July 17. —After a four years’ journey on the troublous sea of matri mony M. (’. Helms, 70-year-old wealthy farmer of Lanes Creek township, was convicted in recorder's court here today on a charge of simple assault, upon his wife, who was Mrs. Fronia Boyd -before her marriage to Mr. Helms four years ago. She is 53 years of age and for some riuie prior to her marriage to Mrs. Helms had made her home in Marshville. being employed as saleslady for the l nited Cash Store Company. Mr. Helms was also convicted of abandonment. .Judg ment was deferred until the first Monday in September. A suit for alimony is pending and will probably come up at ihe next term of civil court. The case attracted unusual attention .and enlisted great interest among citi zens of Marshville and Lanes Creek. It appears that the trouble started when Mrs. Helms decarne tire*! of rural life and decided she wanted to go back to Marshville to live*, where her aged hus band had very little desire for that kind »f life. Finally, however. Mr. and Mrs. Helms did move to Marshville and the utter resumed her work with the l nited Cash Store Company, after the affray in which Mrs. Helms alleges that hei husband knocked her down, choked ami kicked her some time in November of 1921. . But the die had been cast and things iwent from bad to worse until the final reparation a few weeks ago. which was followed by the actions in the recorder's •ourt yesterday. FRIEDA HEMTKL IS AN OUTCAST IN GERMANY, HER NATIVE LAND Vrlist. in Tears. Laments Refusal of Countryden to Ldt Her Sing in Ber lin. Berlin. July 18.—'With tears in her eyes. Frieda Hempel said today that she cannot get a hearing in. the country of her birth. Since the war she has come over regularly to Berlin, but a faction of the Monarchists, who accuse her of being “unfaithful” to Germany during the war, will not let her sing. it has been publicly proclaimed that if she tries •die will be howled down, and she does uot want lo try unless she is assured there will be no disturbance. “Everywhere else,” she said, '“1 am welcome. 1 sang in Loudon. They invited me to Paris but I refused. In the country of my birth I cannot sing and have no one who will right the wrong done me. , “Each year I come to see if I cun sing in the land 'of my birth. Each year I am prevented by lies circulated during the war. And not a "single newspaper here will help me. The rest of the world proclaims me a great artist. Here in Germany it is almost as if I were an outcast.” The singer first became famous when she attracted the notice of the ex-Kaiser, who called her a great artist. While she was in America, during the war, German newspapers said she wrapped the French tri-color about herself and so appeared at au anti-German mass meeting. She denies this. but ever since she lias been banned in Germany. TODAY’S EVENTS Thursday. July 19. 1923. Five years ago today the Germans gan their retreat across the Marne.

COMMITTEE MAKES DEFINITE PLANS Met at School Monday and Went Over Site for Build ing—Will Start Work as Soon as Practical. A committee from the North Carolina Motion Picture Exhibitors' Association, headed by R. D. (’raver, of Charlotte, met.'tut the Jackson Training School, near -here, Monday afternoon and made defi nite plans for the erection of a hand some auditorium building at the school.

The building will be modern in every respect and will be erected at a cost of about $65,000. according to-one member of the committee. Its auditorium will be built to accommodate 1.000 i»ersons, and in the basement of the structure a modern swimming pool will be built.

Tilts will mean, the commit-, tee members stated, that the equipment! for the auditorium can be secured at | prices much lower than those usually j paid. j Officers of the sciiool showed the com-j mittce members over the plant aftier j their meeting. The committee members were frank iu their admiration of the school plant, ami were especially struck with the manner iu which the school is run and managed.

WONDERFUL HIGHWAYS OF NORTH CAROLINA Tennessee Highway Commissioner Talks of Our Maintenance Plan. Nashville, Tenn., July 15. —“The greatest lesson to ta* learned from a dose inspection of the wonderful system of highways in North Carolina is in a study of the maintenance plan,” said J. G. (’reveling, dr.. State Highway Commis sioner, who with other officials, including Governor Austin Peay, are back from a tour of that state. North Carolina is spending $2,500,000 annually on the maintenance of her 6,000 miles of eonneetional highways and the system is so efficient that within 24 hours after a rain 4,500 miles of the roadway has been carefully dragged, lie said. The system would not last six days without the efficient maintenance pro gram, the Commissioner said. The greatest feature of the North Car olina system is the fact that a man with the ability of Frank Page is chairman of the state highway commission, consist ing of nine commissioners, lie said. A bond issue and an efficient man at the head of the state department are the most essential factors of an efficient highway system. Mr. (’reveling quoted T. H. MacDonald, Chief of the I’nited States Bureau of Public Roads, who ac companied the party, as saying. The total ibond iswue available in North Carolina is $65,000,000. There are two types of hard surfaced roads built in North Carolina, Mr. (’leveling said, the concrete and the concrete with ! edge on either side and a filled-in as phalt roadbed. The concrete, asphalt highway makes a beautiful jytul convenient surface, he said, as the black roadbed is better on the eyes of the motorist iu the sunlight, and the white edges make the highway safer for the driver at night. Mr. (’reveling did not fail to give credit to the services of the commission chairman of the Tar Heel State, stating that Governor Peay and all members of the party were greatly pleased with the results Mr. Page had gotten. lie feels that Tennessee officials are now in better position to formulate plans for the highway program in this state, after viewing the efficient system of the neighboring state. \ ( ALLS BRYAN SUPERFICIAL Methodist Editor Calls Ills Anti-Evolu tion Ideas a Danger. Chicago. 111., July 15.—William Jen nings Bryan was called “superficial in education” and his theories were char acterized as endangering to young poo* pie in college, by Dr. George Elliott, of New York City, editor of The Methodist Review, who preached today at the Des plaics camp meeting. ' I)r. Elliott ami John Wesley, the founder of Methodism and an Oxford University "fellow, was a pre-Darwinian teacher of evolution and wrote a book to prove his belief. ••The doctrine of evolution is accepted by nearly all intelligent people,” said I Jr. Elliott. "Darwin wrote the ‘De scent of Man,’ but we prefer to call it •The Ascent of Man.’ It is a serious matter that Mr. Bryan with his super ficial education should cause young peo ple in cojlegc to think that iu order to accept Christianity they must accept his definitions of evolution. “John Wesley was a pre-Darwin evo lutionist. He spoke of the ape as ‘a rouglit draft of man' and said ‘How won derful it is that the paws became hands.' “Personally, I like to think that I am related to the worm in the soil, the birds in the ah*, aud all the animals. I never want to go back on my poor relation. 1 could rather think we came from the monkey than from mud. "But the great thought is not that we came up from the dust, but that God came down to us and breathed iuto us the breath of life." / Dr. Elliott said that Thomas Edison, is not a scientist but au inventor. MACK’S NEGRO SERVICE “RUNS AWAY” WITH HIM Starts Darkies Singing Spirituals ami Then Has Hard T»me Stopping Them. Greensboro. N. July 1(5. —“Cyclone Mack's” second negro service iu connec tion with his evangelistic campaign ran away with him here tonight. He start ed the colored brethren to singing a verse, with the congregation joining in on the chorus, and had a hard time stopping them. Several times he attempted to take charge and proceed with his sermon only to have- to wait until the crowd had sung itself out. "Folks hold on to those great old spirituals,” lie told the colored people. "Don't try to ape the white folks, and put on the high-faintin' stuff iu the song line. If you do you will lose the power and fire which has characterized your singing. You will get mechanical, and perfunctory and stereotyped. Did you know that the average song of today is manufactured to- order at $2.50 each? That is the reason that they lack .power. They have become mercenary, and that is the way your singing will get if you don't hold on to the old spirituals God has given you.” The Old-Time Hell-Fire Preaching. “Cyclone” Mack must be giving Greensboro the real simon-pure, all wool aud a yard wide, unadulterated, old-time hell-fire preaching.

MORE NATIVES QUIT OFFICE ura 1 3 Policy of Governor General of Philippines Proves 1 Very Unpopular With Various Offiee Holders. Manila, P. 1., July 18 (By the Asso ciated Press). —The Philippine Islands, and the city of Manila, were virtually without native participation in the high er departments of their government to day as a result of the resignations of four cabinet members, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The Secretary of the Interior and the Mayor of Manila previously had resigned. Insular administrative affairs were wholly in the hands of Governor General Leonard Wood and his American ap pointive assistants. He and his assist ants will assume the burden of govern ment until successors can be found for the resigned officials. So far. Governor Gonerak Wood has not officially indicat ed how he will meet the situation. The reasons given for the resignations consisted of objections to what the of ficials characterized as the Governor General's policy and desire to intervene and control even to the smallest details “our government, both insular and local, in utter disregard to the authority and responsibility of department heads aud the other officials concerned.” OLD TESTAMENT WAS SUBJECT OF ADDRESS Delivered Before Sunday School Leader ship School by Dr. S.
