GREATER THAN LAW.
A policeman stepped from behind _ a
street car in a Southern city recently
and wits killed by a car driven by a
yohth about eighteen years of age. YYit
a'csses testified at the coroner's trial that
tlie policeman was careless aiul that the
accident was almost unavoidable from the
driver’s standpoint. Nevertheless, the
father of the youth, who .happened to be
wealthy, did not allow his interest in
the affair to slop there. He visited' the
widow of file policeman, whom he. found
to be suffering from tuberculosis and
promised to send her to sanitarium
and pay all expenses until sfie is com
pletely cured. He told lie he would take
the three little children in his hoHTe,
support them, educate them and bring
them up in even better circumstances
than their father could have done. The
willow readily accepted the proposition.
From the standpoint of the law the
father of the unfortunate youth was
not compelled to give the widow of the
policeman anything at all. The testi
mony at the coroner's inquest indicated
that there were no grounds for a law
suit and it is doubtful if the widow
would have sued even if approached by
what is commonly termed a shyster law
yer. But the father knew nevertheless
that there would be suffering in the
home of the dead policeman. He knew,
of course, that his money could not make
up for the sorrow that the women and
her children had felt, but fie knew at tliq
same time that he could relieve their
physical suffering. His,was a kind heart
and he did unto them as he would have
wished to have been done unto if he had
been in their places.
Such men as this make life. "The
law is supreme and indispensable,’’ as
The Greenville News says, "but it can
not and does not take the places of - the
Golden Rule. The law is mechanically
and necessarily limited in application,
but th** Golden Uuls is human and appli
cable to all human affairs, with a rich*-
ness of justice the law_ cannot meet.
Men who stay within the law are good
citizens as a rule, but men who obey the
Golden Rule are the salt of the earth."
COMPENSATION FOR MINER*.
COMPENSATION FOR MINORS.
issue of the American Labor Review,
compensation laws in most States do not
apply to minors. In Wisconsin, howev
er, the law is idifferent and it requires
the employer to treble the compensation
for an injured minor illegally employed.
Such a law shottld greatly influence
child labor. In North Carolina, accord
ing t) available statistics, there is little
illegal "hiring of children, the State’s
child labor law is so effective, but in
other States heads of manufacturing
plants are less careful about hiring
children, especially since the law does
not require them to nfake compensation
to minors. The Wisconsin law makrt*
sure a certain sum of mpuey for the
minor; it also tixes definitely the amount
of money the employer knows he will
have to pay; it eliminates costly law
suits : and it makes the employer more
careful about hiring in mors. The 'Wis
consin law has another feature. It for
bids insurance companies to pay the eom
/ peusatiom unless the employer is insolv
ent.
THE WEEVIL GETS IN HIS WORK.
Cotton experts at the beginning of the
present cotton season That
unless tlie farmers of North Carolina took
drastic steps to block its progress, the
boil weevil was going to. cause great
damage in this State this year. The
warning - ha/* been;! fulfilled. Cotton ex
perts uo\y tell u.v that ttfe cotton crop
in this State has suffered its greatest
setback in history during the pattf sev
eral weeks, and the weevil is given cred
it for most of the damage.
The XbithvCaroliua cottou pop had a
wouQerfui 'start. In this county as in
fyitton I'ftimtips of. S biff
crop was predicted. It is? now known
s that Hie crop will not be more than 75
'per cent, and that-much only in certain
1 spots.
j The crop this year has been spotted
’ in this county as it has been throughout
‘ the belt. Some sections of this counfry
j have not had the weevil in. great abund
ance. Other sections report the heavi
est damage from the weevil in history.
That’s the story throughout the whole
belt, and the result is a crop of not more
than 10.500,000 bales.
The short crop, together with the fact
that there was little if any carry-over,
has sent cotton above the 30-eent level
on the New York exchange. The farin
ers, it is true, will get as much for their
cotton as they would have gotten for a
full crop, perhaps.
The boll weevil is not wholly respon
sible for the good prices, .however. The
co-operative - associations in the various
Southern States have kept hundreds of
bales from the market, and their action
lias had a tendency U> increase the price
for the staple.
9 With 30-tent cotton the farmers can
make money, counting even what they
lost through the efforts of tlie weevil and
had weather. If a full crop had been
produced the price might have dropped to
the ten or lifteen cent level, and the
country would have been worse off than it
will be with the short crop and 30-ceut
prices.

ADMITS ITS MISTAKE BUT—
s
The Glenn Kagle Sentinel, published in
the State of Kansas, made a mist ike
in one of its recent issues. The editor
acknowledged the mistake, but he added :
“A good subscribed told us about it
(the mistake).- Tlie same day there was
a letter in our postoffice box that did
not belong to us. Wo called for ninety
eight over the telephone and got 198.
We asked for a spool of No. 50 thread
and when we got home we found it was
No. 60. The train was reported thirty
minutes late. We arrived at the depot
twenty minutes after train time and the
train was gone. We got our milk bill
and there was a mistake of 10 cents in
our favor. We felt sick and the doctor
said we wei*e eating too nmhh meat. We
hadn’t tasted meat for two months. The
garage man said the jitney was missing
because it needed a new tinier. We
cleaned a spark plug and ifs run line
ever since. Yes. we made a mistake in
last week's issue of the paper.’’
ANOTHER EXPOSITION.
The third annual Made-in-Uarolinas
Exposition gets underway jn Charlotte
today. A luncheon for many of tin* men
who have made this exposition possible
will be the event that will formally open
the exposition this year, and beginning
tomorrow thousands of persons from all
over this section of the two Carolina*
are expected to visit the Exposition build
ing and view the exhibits placed there.
Officials of the Exposition declare
there will be more exhibits this year
than ever before, and in addition to this
feature, which should appeal to many
visitors, the musical program this year
is the best ever offered in the history of
the event. One of the best bands in the
entire United States has been engaged
for the entire exposition period. Two
noted quartettes will be on hand daily
to offer splendid numbers and in addition
several solo artists of national reputation
have been engaged for the entire time of
the exposition. The musical features of
the exposition are always strong (haw
ing cards and it is unquestionably true
that many visitors will attend the ex
position solely to hear these famous musi
cal-artists.
The present exposition building is the
same as the one used last year. It is lo
cated in that part of Charlotte generally
known as Dilyvorth, and is easily acces
sible from all parts of Charlotte. The
exhibits this year are said to bo far
better than either of the two previous
years, and at the same time are more rep
resentative of the industrial and busi
ness life of tlie two States.
Feature days have been provided and
it is predicted that a hundred thousand
persons will visit the exposition this year.
STRIKE MAY PKOYt A BLESSING.
New York newspapers have lost thou
sands of dollars on’account of the strike
of web pressmen last week, but it seems
that after all from the standpoint of tlie
newspaper owners the strike may have
been a blessing.
This is due to the fact that the entire
suspension of the papers for a day and
the partial suspension of them for sev
eral weeks bus shown conclusively liow
important the papers are to the business
life of New York City. Easiness ineu.
who are frank to admit that without
newspaper advertising business generally
cannot be as it is with the
aid of the newspapers.
Department store heads, even those
catering to permanent customers, said
the inability to promote sales through the
newspaper columns was proving a seri
ous handicap at the opening of the fall
season. And Wall Street, always dub
ious as to the real value of the small
amount of space it uses in the dailies,
was convinced its clients had learned to
depend on the newspaper advertising for
this information on financial offerings.
Several big offerings of bonds, which
\vere to be put out this week, were post-
I poned because of lack of advertising
I space.
| Stores depending ou special advertis
ing were more seriously Nearly
all the leading department, stores began
pointing circulars for distribution among
persons entering their establishment and
for their mailing lists,
j Their executives, however. * found the
, handbills lacked anything like the pull
ing power of space in the newspapers.
„ Bernard F. Ginjbel. vice pi*esident of
Gimbel Brothers, Inc., was quoted in
' published statement as saying he thought
the strike would be injurious to both ;
large and small stores.
“We depend upon newspaper adver
tising for much of our selling power,” he ;
added, “it is the newspaper advertising, 1
combined with the standing of the store
| ing the advertising, which makes tlie
, buyer realize his need of some art icle
which otherwise lie might have neglected"
to purchase.’’ j
! Others are quoted as follows:
i Harold YY. Bonwit, secretary of Bon
-1 wit, Teller and Company :
’T have no doubt that if the strike
lasts much longer we will feel a huge
effect. Newspaper advertising is doubts,
less the most valuable advertising in the J
| world, ami as the retail stores are de-;
prived of this medium they fool the loss
more and more. There has been a slight
falling off of sales in our store. The dis
continuiuirc .of full news about events
in this country and abroad lias a most
J disturbing effect on the minds of cus
! tamers, and causes uncertainty and uu-
I rest, which *s reflected in their buying.
i\ A. Conn, vice president Saks, and j
Cdmpany :
"Tlie loss of newspaper advertising is
especially important at the beginning of
the season, as now, when the stores are
introducing their new styles and paving ,
the way to the new season.”
James McGreery and Company:
"Newspaper advertising is the corner
post of sales promotions and wc hope the
newspapers will return to normal soon.” ,
Hearn YY. Street, one of tin* execu
tives of Blair and Company, a leading
Wall Street banking house:
"Investment bankers were not certain j
until the pressman's strike began that |
newspaper advertising played a big part
in their business. YY'e know now what
invaluable service the newspapers reu- .
der us. It is next to imiKissible to put i
over a big bond issue without advertising. I
Our clients expect advertising, and wil<|
not bother to read circulars."
The Morrison-Maxwell controversy lias
broken out afresh. The Governor re
cently wrote the State Auditor and ask
ed him about the finances of the State.
The auditor replied that on December
31. 1922, there was no deficit as Mr.
Maxwell charged, but rather a surplus.
Mr. Maxwell answered the auditor's let
ter with another assertion that there was
a deficit, so there’s how tilings stand.
Much has been said and written about
tiiis deficit, and yet we are of the opinion
that a great majority of the people of
the State know no more about it now
than they did before the argument start
ed.
Governors seem to be having a hard
time in getting their rights before the
people. Governor Walton has taken Ok
lahoma in his grasp, or rather lie lias
attempted to do so, and when the' lv» ls '
lutors of that State tried to hold a ses
sion to investigate some of his action,
he declared they could not convene un
less he said so. That caused a great tu
mult in that State. Alabama is having
something similar now. A solicitor ob
jected to prisoners of that State working
in certain mines and started an investi
gation. At once Governor Brandon ob
jected. No grand jury, he contended,
had a right to investigate prison condi
tions over which he has control. That is
causing a tumult in that State.
The Revel in Bright Lights.
Charlotte Observer.
In a Concord suburb on the highway
leading out for Charlotte, a traffic officer
has station, his one particular object
being to establish better regulations in
tlie use of blinding headlights. He will
stop a motorist whose lights are a
menace to tlie safety of the road and
give polite caution, at the same time
showjng how the light should be ad
justed. This officer is serving a purpose
of great usefulness. If others of his sort
could be stationed throughout the State*,
travel on the highway would be made
infinitely more safe. Almost every night
automobiles, driven by people who have
a care for their own lives, are forced
into the ditch to make way for the on
coming machine with the blinding glare.
One" night this week a father and
mother, walking the highway near
Landis with their eight year old son.
were confused by the lights of an ap
roaehtng automobile and in endeavoring
to get out of the way, the little boy got
directly in the path of the machine and
was killed. The Mount Airy News and
several other weekly papers that have
just come in are expressing editorial
concern over the prevailing menace of
bright lights on the highways. The of
ifense is even more flagrant on the
Streets of the towns and cities—and
wlnit is going to be done about it V Other
officers like that stationed near Concord
are needed. In a recent trip from Lex
ington to Charlotte it was noted that of
the hundreds of automobiles passed,
only three responded to the dimmed
light signal. Flashers of tin* blinding
light appear to have become rampant on
the State highways. They seem to en
joy immunity from the officers who
have their ininds centered solely on
catching violators of the speed law.
STABS BRIDE BECAUSE SHE
COOKED SPAGHETTI WRONG
Now Infuriated Italian Will Eat it as
Jail Chefs Prepare Dish.
Chicago. Sept. 24——Because his bride
of a few. weeks had cooked the family
spaghetti a la Neapolitan, instead of a
la Milanese, as he preferred it. Serino
Leo seized a large butcher knife and
stabbed her twice in the shoulder and
chest.
At the hospital the sobbing bride, who
is but 20. said she knew but one way to
prepare spaghetti and tried to explain
to her furious spouse- The arrival of
neighbors, who overheard thd row* in, the
Leo apartments, probably saved ! her
life. .
She will be sent home in a few days,
but Serino will eat his spaghetti in the
county jail, and his wishes will not be
regarded asto its preparation. It will
be "a la Cook county,” and he can eat
it or let it alone-

John Marshall, first chiePjustice of the
United State f s, and district agent here of!
-the National Life Insurance Company,
.formerly connected with the United
j States department of justice, is in Meek- j

on charge of impersonating a federal of
ficer in Richmond July 2nd of this year
and obtaining thereby $175 from Homer
■ L. Cummings. S\
\ It is said there are 19 other charges
'of the same kind to be preferred aga list

Chicago, Sept. 21.—George Herman
i (Babe) Ruth of the New York Yan
kee,. pennant winners of tin* American
league for 1923. today was declared to
i be the most valuable player to his team
and was awarded the- American league
trophy for Ihe reason, raving receive!
, the highest-possible number of points,
I and -setting a record that can never be
. beaten.
Ruth was the unanimous choice of
the committee appointed to select the
American league* who has been of great
ost service to his team during champion
j s hip season. Registering first place on
, each ballot one from each of the eight
cities in the circuit —for q total of 64
counts.
Announcement of the award was
made by President Ban Johnson of the
league.
How complete was the comeback
staged by the Yankee slugger this year
can be see from the fact that in the
1922 trophy contest, which was won
by George Sisler. of tlie St. I/mis
Browns, with Ji9 points, Ruth was not
mentioned among the eight players
Eddie Collins, of th<* Chicago White
Sox. stood secondto Ruth in this year’s
contest with 37 poiuts. He was named
as the best player on the Chicago team
by all eight of the committee. Last
I year Collins was fifth with IS points.
Harry Heilmann of Detroit rated third
and Gerber of St. Louis tied with Sewell
of the Cleveland Indians for fourth
place, each having 20 points.
Ruth’s name will be inscribed on the
1923 tablet, of the SIOO,OOO monument to
be erected in East Potomac park, YVash
ingtou, and presented to the United
States government by the American
league as memorial to baseball and a
hall of fame for greatest players

Republican Possibilities-
Cliarlotte < )bserver.
Editor Rentier, of The (’oncord Ob
server. has brought up the etertaining
discussion as to the best man the Re
publicans can put forward for Governor.
Who are the Repnblican possibilities?
Tin* Concord editor has apparently
combed the woods, and the first man he
brings it is YY. G, Bramham, of Dur
ham. but doubts if he would "accept the
trust.” Same way with what might be
regarded as tlie best possibility—Judge
Y\ r . I*. Bynum, of Greensboro. Then
there is “one great North Carolinian”
who would delight the voters of the
State, in the person of John Motley
Morehead, of Charlotte. Editor Kestler
-admits that there is small chance of pre
vailing on him, but, he assures, if Mr.
Morehead should be inclined to consent,
"he would almost be elected.” Then The
Observer brings out what might be call
ed the emergency candidates —Hon- Ike
Meekins, Marion Butler and Col. Harry
Skinner. Tin* latter, however, has long
since told polities to go to- Gilliam Gris
som or Dr. Uy Thompson exhausts the
Concord paper’s list of possible eligible*.
At best it would seem a pretty poor
prospect- Th" one man who might be re
lied upon to take the honor is Colonel
Moekins, and he would run for mere
love of the thing.

STEALS MILE, A WAGON
AND BALE OF COTTON
.Man Picks Up Outfit at Three Different
Places and Heads for Market. —Now
in Jail.
Salisbury, Sept. 20.—A white man
having the appearance of a farmhand
was arrested here, this morning by Dep
uty Sheriff ,T. W. Ivesler shortly after
word had been received from Landis to
look out for a mane driving a one-horse
wagon to which was hitched a black
mule and on which was a bale of cotton.
It developed that the entire outfit was
stolen, the mble being taken from one
man's stable, the wagon front a point
a half-mile away and then driving to
the warehouse of the Landis mills the
bale of cotton was loaded oif.
The man was headed toward a cotton
mill here when arrested, presumably for
the purpose of selling the cotton. He
was given a preliminary hearing and
in default of bond is held in jail for the
next term of Rowan Superior Court.
Big Feature at Pastime Today.
The Pastime Theater today arid to

Manager Stewart of the Pastime states
that the entire twelve reels of tV>
original picture will be shown, and the
prints are in excellent condition.
This is probably the last time this
great feature will be shown* in Concord.
The picture made its first sensation
some time ago, and its owners plan to
retire it after this lonnd of the country.
The great story of the Civil War and
history just after the* war are shown in
the picture. S veral of the most noted
of the screen stars are shown in the
feature.
Note From Supt. Webb.
I wish that every child in our schools
might attend the Made-iu-Carolinas Ex
position. We shall be glad to excuse
any child- from school to make a trip to
the Exposition and lie will not be count
ed absent, as I feel sure that lie will
leant more there than he could possibly
learn in school in the same length of
time. Music has the rights of way in
our schools this year and the exposition
is offering us the best the world affords
in that line as well as an opportunity to
learn what wonderful things are being
done in our own state.
