ILLITERACY AND CRIME.
According to statistics compiled by ex
perts.. education ms wojrjh aR it costs'arid
then some for the effect it has bn crime.
All available figures show that the great
percentage of prisoners in the jails in
the United States are illiterates. They
are people who have never learned the
fundamentals of an cducatiou, and .as
they hhy.e, not been taught these funda
mentals ’ they likewise have not been
taught the finer things of life that one
learns along with book knowledge.
In speaking of a recent case in its
city. The Chester Reporter says :
“D. Coburn Taylor convicted of mur
der at Camden, swore upon the stand
that he never went to school a day in his
life. Education does not always keep a
man from being a crook, but many -and
many a case such as Taylor’s has been
averted by even a little of the school
room. South Carolina’s high illiteracy
percentage and astounding crime rate are
indisolubly connected. When the facts
and figures pertaining to length of term,
expenditure per pupils, etc., read the
same in South Caioliua as in States that
have forged farther along in educational
matters, there'll not be so much crime
news in the papers, or so much crime to
be dealt with in the courts.'
There’s a lot of truth in that. All fig
ures prove it. About two years ago the
South Carolina Mental Hygiene Survey
staff investigate the life histories of 310
individuals confined in the State peniten
tiary. Os these, 134 were colored and
116 white. The following facts were
developed from the inquiry:
One hundred and ttyree. or 33.2 per
cent, of the total number, had never
gone to school and were illiterate;
Thirty-five, or 11.3 per qept.., never
got farther than the first grade in the
public schools:
Twenty-eight, or 9 per cent, never got
farther'“Than the second grade;
Twenty-nine, or 9.4 per cent., never
got farther than the third grade; i
Twenty-five, or 8.1 per cent., never
got farther than the fourth grade;
Sixty-three, of 20.3 per cent., got as
far as the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth
grades.
Fifteen reached high schohol;
Ten, or 3.2 per cent., received some
college education.
While these figures establish in a firm
way the close relationship between il
literacy and crime, they do not. of course,
prove or even tend to prove that all il
literates are criminals. Some of our best
citizens are illiterates. Despite their
educational handicaps, many of them are
among our most moral and law-abiding
citizens. But this fact does not lessen
any the significance that where we find
the greatest amount of illiteracy, we find
the greatest amount of crime.
MILK AND PROHIBITION.
Everyone knows that milk is a fine
diet. In some instances milk is the only
practical diet when a person is suffering
with certain diseases, and we have learn
ed from experience that milk is one of
the most nourishing of all diets. For
that reason it is interesting to note that
increase in milk consumption since the
advent of prohibition.
Since 11*17. the last Wet year, con
sumption of milk in the United States
has increased in about the proportion of
84 to 102, according to experts. In 1917
84.612.01*0.000 pounds were used, and
during last year 102.502.221,000 were
used.
Much of this increase is due-to the
fact that in many families children who
formerly could not get milk because the
monev weut for beer and liquor, ai'e be
ing given
been an- meftttsd of milk at
the soda fountains and buttermilk has
increased iu popularity very much with
the coming of prohibition.
The greatest increase in milk con
sumption is noted" in cities. 9ji there i*
imported a 17 per cent, gam m 306 cit
ies m America *mc* »T
dustrial centers it is noted that work
men now have a pint or quart of milk
besides their lunch boxes. Formerly they
1 had beer or wine.

LIBRARY STATICTICS.
The latest Issue of the North Carolina
Library Bulletin carries interesting iu
formation relative to the work of the
libraries in the State during the past
year. The report gives the circulation
of all of the libraries iu the State and
shows that the Concord library ranks
with libraries in cities of much larger
size. In fact the local library did more
than that. It circulated more books than
many cities much larger than Concord,
and this in spite of the fact that the li
brary was closed two weeks for repairs.
Asheville has the distinction pf lead-,
iug the State iu circulation. During last
year iu the mountain metropolis 11,804
books were borrowed. Durham came next
with 79.467 and Winston-Salem was
third with 77.841. Charlotte’s library
during the year circulated 72,314 books
for fourth place and Raleigh came next
with 67,000, then Greensboro with 04.-
686. And Concord ranks next to Greens
boro, exceeding such cities as Wilming
ton, Gastonia, Rocky Mount. High Point
and Salisbury, which boast of a greater
population. The News aud Observer in
discussing the figures says in part:
“Another interesting guess is as to
what town or city comes next (after
Greensboro). No it isn’t Wilmington.
The New Hanover capital does not read
extensively. Next below Greensboro is
Concord with 43,257 volumes circulated
during the year and the library closed
for repairs for two weeks. An excellent
record for Concord "
The Wilmington library loaned 29.430
volumes during the yeai*. Gastonia loan
ed 28.177 books. Hickory made a good
showing for its size, loaning 24.537 books
in nine months. Rocky Mount loaned
24,690: Hendersonville. 21.847: Golds
boro. 18.535: Burlington. 18.168: New
Bern 15,210: Rockingham 12.520.
There are three colored libraries, one
each at Charlotte. Durham and Laurin
burg. and the one at Charlotte loaned
out the relatively large number of 42.-
594 books last year.
; While we have not seen the compari
son made, we believe that Concord’s cir
culation will ,gjy,e her the greatest circu
lation per inhabitant of any city in the
State. We believe also that her circu
lation .will give her the record for the
number of times each book was eireulat- !
ed.’ And the Concord library is being
supported on less than $3,009 a year.

DENTAL CLINIC FOR COLORED
CHILDREN.
Dr. S. E. Buchanan, county health of
ficer. has made arrangements to have a
dental clinic for colored children con
ducted iu this county. The clinic will
begin on August 2nd. and parents of col
ored children, as well as community lead
ers. should do everything possible to get
the children to be examined.
Children between 6 and 13 years of
age will be examined during the clinic,
and the examination and any work done,
will be free'-of charge. The clinic will
be conducted by a dentist sent out by
the State Board of Health, and he is an
expert iu his work. He will make the
examinations in many of the most prom
inent negro schools in the county, or iu
other buildings located in community
centers, and the schedule has been ar
ranged with the view of reaching the
greater number of children. Parents
should not make the mistake of allow
ing their children to remain away from
the clinic.
The complete schedule for the clinic
is carried in this paper, and persons in
terested should clip it and keep it for
reference. The work clone on the' teeth
of the children will mean much to them,
and in many instances may mean the ac
tual saving of life in the end.
CAUTION THROWN TO WIND.
It is almost impossible to read a news
paper now without seeing where some
one was killed in an auto accident. And
it is very noticeable that Monday papers .
carry more accident reports than any
other paper, because there are more peo
ple riding on Sunday than any other
day. And while Sunday accidents have
become so common that. they create lit
tle unusual interest, the crop of deaths
from accidents last Sunday was so great
that the reports were very noticeable.
The news columns tell of thirty-five
persons losing their lives in automobile
accidents that day, and iu addition many
others were injured. To make it more
startling, all of the accidents were at
railroad crossings, and everyone of them
could have been avoided if proper pre
caution had been taken. It is only reas
onable to suppose that other accidents
which were not reported to the newspa
pers occurred, and the death total for
the day must have easily reached the 40
mark. And the accidents occurred iu ev
ery part of the country, showing that
carelessness and disregard for safety are
universal traits.
During the past several % years every
kind of publicity device has been used
to warn the people against carelessness.
Preachers have warned them from the
pulpits; newspapers have carried eol
unjns of articles: railroad companies
have spent thousands of dollars issuing
warnings: and iu North Carolina a law
was passed designed to make people more
careful. If the sermon preached iu the
papers Monday had no effect, then the
i people are hopeless.
; , THE BUSIEST INDUSTRY.
Fqrbes Magazine raises an interesting
question when it asks “What is the bus
iest indust! y?” That publication pro
-1 ceeds to answer the tjuestiou as follows:
j The turning out of over, two and one
thalf million ears and trucks a yeat? The
producing of 40,000,000 tons of pig iron
and the manufacturing of the greatest!
or three billion dollars a year? The kill-1
ing and packing of the millions of food
animals consumed every year by Ameri
cans and by millions of foreigners who
eat American meats? No. guess again.
Wrong this time too.
The busiest industry in America is
law-making.
Think of it: fully 50,000 bills dealing
with business have been introduced in
state legislatures in the last twelve
months, and it ,is figured that new state
laws will be passed at the rate of 1,000
a month all through 1923. Then, in the
last five Congresses 90.000 bills for new
have have been introduced and upwards
of 2,400 have been passed.
America is the laud of mass produc
tion. I’hfyiably our lawmakers have
caught the mass production mania. In
the case of industry, some regard is had
to quality. In the case of our lawmak
ers, quantity, judging by results, has been
their sole aim.
It is time for the American people to
beseech every lawmaker in the land:
Physician heal thyself.
Everybody thinks lie is capable of
passing laws. That’s the trouble. What
we need is enforcement of many We al
ready have and repeal of many others.
ANXIOUS ABOUT THE PRESIDENT.
The “soulid South’’ as well as the home
town of the President, is anxious about
Mr. Harding's condition. Regardless of
the political faith of a President of the
United States, everyone feels almost a
personal interest in his well-being, and
the illness of Mr. Harding has been
prominent in the thoughts of everyone
iu the United States since announcement
was made that his condition was “grave."
Latest news from the bedside of the
President indicates that his condition is
much better. He has the hopes and
prayers of the nation in his fight for his
life. |
BIG SCREEN REUNION IN
CAST OF ETERNAL FLAME
Two Principals and Cameraman Meet
For First Time Since Old Reliance i
Days.
The assembling of the notable cast J
supporting Miss Norma Talmadge in her
all costume picture, “The Eternal
Flame." taken from Honore Balzac's
"The Duchess de Lftngeais." marked sev
eral reunions of friends and coworkers.
Take, for instance, the* meeting be
tween Irving Cummings, Rosemary
Theby aud Tony Gaudio, who were to
gether iu the days of the Old Reliance
Company. Then they were making two
reelers.
Since then they have each added their
considerable contribution toward the
growth of considerable contribution to
ward the growth of motion picture's.
Mr. Cummings has not only had stage
training under brilliant stars but his
picture successes have been many. Re
cently his activities have centered about
his’ own company as production manager
of which he has been -engaged in mak
ing Westerns.
Miss Theby has/ played in a wide
range of pictures, among them “The
Great Love" and “A Splendid Hazard." ■
The third member of the reunited trio ’•
is Tony Gaudio, whose work at the 1
camera has proved that he, too. like his
countrymen, has the artist's unfailing
eye for' pictures. i
It is the first time the three have met <
.since the Old Reliance days and now. '
while Miss Theby and Mr. Cummings :
move through the stately pattern of the '
nineteenth century court lif<\ instead of
two reel thrillers of those former clays. 1
the only point of similarity is that Tony
Gaudio officiated as cameraman on both '<
occasions. 1
"The Eternal Flame,” wis is declared i
to be Norma Talmadge’s greatest photo- I
dramatic achievement, and the screen 1
sensation of the present season, will be :
shown at the Pastime Theatre today and,
tomorrow. ' i

FOUND IN VIRGINIA
State Board of Health Wamsv Phy- 1
siciam* to Be on the Lookout FoXit. <
Danville. Va., Aug. 1. —The state
V.-.ilth department is wr os (ding with a 1
new disease which has not been definite- '
l.v diagnosed as yet, but which is being
sent out. to health officers „nd
practitioners throughout Virginia by
Dr. Ennfon Williams of the state board 1
of health at Richmond.
- City Health officer It. W. Garnett, ’
who has just returned from Richmond, !
says that the new malady is causing a
good deal of interest and existing
medical authorities are being serutiniz- !
ed. The victim is taken first with a <
fever, this coming suddenly, and on the ■
following day severe abdominal pains <
set iu. These pass pass usually within 24 <
hours, leaving the victim in an ex
tremely weakened condition. The malady
so far has been confined to eastern Vir
ginia. but doctors throughout the state
are being urged to watch for cases with
these characteristics. There have been 1
no deaths. !
The malady has been termed by those
living in sections where it appeal’s as
I “devil’s grippe." It is similar to the
malady which broke out in 1896. it is 1
said. So far a>4 doctors have been able 1
to determine it is not a gastric* or

by some as a new type of influenza.
No Mileage Book Yet.
Charlotte Observer.
The big railroads of the country ap
pear to have won out on the mileage
book proposition. The traveling men
asked the court to enforces the orders
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
for an interchaugcale mileage book at a
20 per cent, discount. The Federal Dis
trict Court in Massachusetts has en- ;
joined the Commission from enforcing
the ruling, holding with the railroads
that such sSle would deprive them of a
reasonable return cm trausiiortation and
seriously impair their revenues. The
Government has gone to the Supreme
Court with an appeal, but so far. the
railroads has the best of the situation.

f THE CONCOjRD TUBES
EYE-WITNESS FIRST
CALLED TO TESTIFY
IN GARRETT TRIAL
Carpenter Working Near the
Pierce Home Stated That
He Saw R. O. Garrett Fire
at the Minister.
LARKIN GARRETT
ASSAULTED PIERCE
Witness Also Stated That He
Did Not See Pierce Fire
on the Defendants in the
Case.
Cumberland Sourthouse. Va.. Aug. I.
Shad R. Wilson, an eye-witness, testi
fied at the trial of L. C. Garrett this
morning that when lie was attracted to
the Pierce home by the screaming of
women on the day Rev. E. S. Pierce was
shot to death he found Larkin C. Gar
rett sitting on the* minister and beating
him in the face, while Robert O. Garrett
stood by with a pistol in his hand.
The witness also testified he saw Rob
ert (). Garret fire several shots into the
minister's body both before* and after
lie fell to the ground. He saw no other
shots fired. The witness is a carpen
ter and was working on a building near
the Pierce home when the trouble start
ed.
In telling his story the witness was
positive he did not see Mr. Pierce shoot
R. O. Garret in the back.
The witness said lie would not swear
■that Pierce did not fire, but that he* did
not see him fire, and so far as he knew
R. (). Garrett fired first. In replay to
a question from the bench he made the
I fiat statement that It. <). Garrett tired
the first shot. There were many objec
tions by state’s attorneys to the line of
questioning by tin* defense and in most
of these they were sustained.
The defense sought to show that Mr.
Godsoy and Ijis employer were bitter po
litical enemies of tin* Garretts, but were
overruled on many of their questions.
The witness denied he had contributed
to the prosecution fund and did not
know his employer had.
The most vivid story of the tragedy
was given by Mrs. B. F. Hendricks, the
first woman witness to appear on the
stand. She told an uninterrupted story
of the tight and footing and made the*
unqualified statement that R. O. Garrett
fired the first shot, anil that Pierce did
not even raise his hand after he ob
tained the shot gun.

Fifteen-Months-Old Bal>y is Drowned in
a Wash Tub.
Albemarle News-Herald.
One of the most deplorable’ accidents
that lias happened in Stanly county for
some months was that in the early af
ternoon yesterday when little Ruby, the
fifteen-111011 tlis-olcl daughter of Mr. aud
Mrs. G. B. Bowers, of the Palestine
section, fell into a wash tub and was
drowned. Just how the child happened
to fall into the tub is not known, as it
seems there was no one nearby at the
time. It is said that there .was only
about two or three inches of water iu
it at the time of the accident. The
child, it is thought, wns playing in the
water when in some way it lost its bal
ance and fell headforemost into the
water and was unable to get out with
out help. When found it was dead,
and all efforts of resuscitation were in
vain.
The funeral services will be held today
at Friendship Church, IMyler, and will
be conducted by the pastor.

graile crossing accidents
CONTINUE TO INCREASE
In the Country at large.—Due to In
creasing Number of Automobiles.
Washington. D. 0., Aug. 1. —Highway
grade crossing accidents continue to in
crease. according Jo a statement issued
by the Bureau of Public Roads of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. The Interstate Commerce Commis
sion, it is stated, reports that in the
final quarter of 1922, 517 persons were
killed and 1710 injured at grade cross
ings, an increase of 10 fatalities and 105
injuries in comparison with the same pe
riod of the previous .year. Similar in
creases afy? reported in other quarters.
‘‘lt has been suggested that an in
crease is to be expected since the number
of motor vehicles and highway traffic is
increasing,*’ the Bureau statement as
serts. "hut this should be the reason for
additional preventive measures rather
than satisfaction with the situation.
“There, is only one safe way to pre
vent accidents whore highways and rail
ways intersect. That is by a complete
separation of the grades by means of
subways or viaducts. There has been
agitation for legislation in a number of
Stales to require all users of the high
ways to stop before crossing a railway
track. A t'<£ states have enacted such
laws. The application of such
a law covering all of the railroad cross
ings in any state leads to absurdities and
unnecesary inconveniences. For exam
ple. one of tiie principal state highways
leading west out of Raleigh. X. C., where
such a law is in force, crosses a branch
line of a railroad running into the State
Fair Grounds. This switch track is us
ed for only a few days each year at the
tflne of the State Fair, but under the
law all the traffic over one of the prin
pical highways in the state must stop at
this crossing 5415 days per year.
Such laws should be regarded as tem
porary expedients only. Hundreds of
branch line railroads carry only a small
percentage of the passenger traffic now
carried by the main line highway which
they cross. If either traffic is to be halt
ed at the crossing it should be the rail
traffic. Right of way is given the most
important traffic on railroads. This is
a fundamental principle of operation,
and this same principle should be recog
nized by the State in making any laws
with reference to stopping traffic at rail
way and highway intersections. Un
doubtedly trunk line railways should be
given right of way. and the highway traf
fic stopped, but branch line railway traf
fic lies in a different category entirely.
The highway traffic over important State
trunk lines should not be stopped at
branch line railway crossings. Rather,
the infrequent trains should be stopped
before crossing such highways.
“The agitation for stopping highway
traffic at railway crossings however, is
■having its effect in rapidly crystallizing
public sentiment against all grade
crossings, and this will lead to the only
right solution of the matter, that is, sep
aration of the grades.
“In the construction of federal aid
roads the Bureau of Public Roads has
adopted the poHcy of eliminating grade
crossings wherever practicable, if possi
ble by relocation, otherwise by means of
an underpass or overhead crossing and
to this end an engineering investigation
is made of every crossing aud a great
many h ive already been eliminated.
Costly tructures are required but there
is no doubt that the policy lias resulted
in the saving of many lives.”
LENOIR COLLEGE SITE ,
DISCUSSED BY RHINE
Millionaire Backer oi School Thinks
That College Town Should Help More.
Gastonia. July 51. —For the first time
since he offered to make Lenoir college
one of the most modern educational in
stitutions in the, state I). E. Rhyne,
millionaire of Lincoluton, has given out
a statement. to the public on views as to
tlie removal of the college from Hickory
to some other suitable city which would
help supjiort it more than the town
where it is now.
In his statement published this after
noon in -the Gazette. Mr. Rhyne says
that nothing Was ever said about the
removal of the college until some of.
th<> leading citizens of Hicekory showed
that they did not want the college by
refusing to give money for its cause and
upkeep.
Hickory people have given very little
to the college, according to the state
ment. Mr. Rhyne says:
“The people of Hickory have had the
college a long time and have done
nothing for it. They have already let
two colleges go dead and if our college
was left to them it would not live long.
In regard to why the college will be
‘moved, he says :
“I am looking to the future of the
college and I think this is what ax o
should all do. I am going to back the
place tiiat makes the best offer and
that looks like the best place for the
college, but if 1 back Hickory it certain
ly will have to come up better, that
much is certain. I ain glad the trustees
let it be open for bids. They did right.
[ did not care for the name of the col
lege to be changed- What I want to see
is a college that is a credit to the
Lutheran church and all the Lutherans
back it up and at a pl&ce where it is
appreciated.’’
Incidentally. Gastonia is after the
Lenoir Lutheran college and Mr. Rhyne,
the trustees and several prominent men
of the Lutheran church were the guests
tonight of the college committee of the
chamber if commerce at a dinner served
at the Gastonia Country club.
Although Montenegro contains rich aud
fertile.fields in parts of the country, tak
en \\ hole it is one of the poorest
countries in Europe. Before the Euro
pean War Russia built roads, bridges,
hcurches and schools there. The natives
are brave and fearless and have beaten
back the Turkish swarms for 500 years.
Os all the Balkan peoples, they alone
have never bowed to the Turk.
Alvin M. Owsley, national comniauder
of the American Legion, says. "It will
take five years to write a sensible law to
govern immigration and until that time
the United States should bar those who
are coming here seeking to avoid the
consequencse of a war which they brought
upon themselves.*’

WHITE FARMERSNSHOULI)
ENCOURAGE THEIR TENANTS
To Attend The Negro Farmers’ Congress
at Greensboro.
Nothing would be more encouraging
and stimulating to the negro farmers
who are tenants, than to Ifftve their land
lords urge them to attend the Negro
Farmers’ Congress at the A. & T. Col
lege, Greensboro, X. (’.. August 9th and
10th. All the .accommodations are free,
i. e.. board lodging, etc. Os course each
farmer will have to become a member of
tlie Congress by paying the one dollar
fee for which he will receive a nice
badge and this badge will admit him to
the diniug hall, dormitories and all oth
er departments of the College free of
charge. It will be a fine outing for the
tenant farmers and their families.
It will be helpful both to tiie tenants
and their landlords. Why? Because the
very best available information on all
phases of farming wilL.be deviated by
experts from the Slate and United States
Department of Agriculture at this meet
ing. Therefore, the tenants will return,
refreshed, stimulated and encouraged,
brimming full of new information that
he will anxiously apply Avith renewed
energy on his landlord's farm. By so
doing, he will make more for himself
thereby make more for hrs landlord.
Again, the very fact that the landlord
advised his tenants about such meeting
aud urges them to come, will cause the
tenants to feel that their landlord has
their interest at heart, so it will serve
to draw them closer together and cement
their interest for the common good of
all concern I'd. I know that such a prac
tice is new. but I feel that the white
landlord will find it very profitable.
I should like to hold up as an example
in this respect. Mr. W. P. Hager, a white
landlord of Robeson County, avlio not on
ly encouraged his tenants to come to our
Negro Farmers’ Congress in Lumbertoit
last year, but came himself to see if they
were there. After he had advised them
to come and also to gel the wholesome in
formation given out by experts for both
them and himself. We shall be glad to
make provision for any white farmer who
wishes to attend our Greensboro meeting,
for most of our speakers will be Avhite
men and white women, so they will not
be the only white people in attendance.
Please don’t forget that all negro farm
ers who expect free board and lodging
must-report to me by Monday, August
(>th. If there is a party of them coming,
one notice giving the number will be suf
ficient.
