The idealists are often nominated j by .he politicians for offices to which . they stand no chance of getting elected. j will be observed throughout Europe j and in many non-Kuropean countries, such as Japan. Korea aud Pales tiue. • Four annual holidays—Christmas, I New Year, Kaster and Armistice Day —have heretofore been celebrated in ternationally. A liftU has now been added to the list. Thu movement was started In America by the Near Kast Relief as a new, striking and Inten sive method of raising funds for the feeding of tha children Ln American orphanages in Hible Lands. 8n this day—December 7—Ameri cans are asked to eat a dinner of soup, bread and stew, or of corn grits and condensed milk, or of rice, maca roni and cocoa. As they eat this novel meal, they are asked to remem ber that, coarse as It is, it is all that holds body and soul together for the orphaned boys and girls overseas, to whom the elemental factor of hunger Is each day's vital problem. People here are reminded that, however poor the fare may seem, they can at least have two bowls of soup if they like, and two slices of bread. As they finish their second serving, they are asked to remember that the orphan wards of the Near Kast lteli f can have only one serving, for there Is not enough to allow more. They are asked to remember that these children exist on such a diet »6"> days out of each year, and they will not live to become men and women un less more bread and more soup are provided. Those who eat the Golden Rule dinner will not lack distinguished company. Such a meal will be nerved on Sunday in the homes of kings, prime ministers and presidents. The Golden Rule is a universal creed. It Is a common denominator of all religious aud social welfare organizations. It is a test of our religion and our sincerity. Golden Rule Sunday is a day for personal stock taking, for nit asuring our lives t>y a universally accepted standard of life to ascertain how nearly we t have attained to an ideal. It is a j day of plain living and high thinking. The dinner, however, is not an end ; in itself. It is an occasion, in the words of President Coolidge. "for bringing to the minds o! those who 1 are prosperous the charitable require ments of those who are in adversity " On Golden Rule Sunday the citizens of all nations will be seated liuura tlvely at the same table, partaking literally of the same food, thinking the same thoughts aud entering Into a new realization of the brotherhood of mankind.

C., Wednesday, Nov. 26, 1924 TOBACCO HOUSES CLOSE TODAY Will Observe Thanksgiving, Opening Again Next Monday —Two Million Pounds Tobac co Sold Last Week. The Winston-Salem tobacco ware houses announce that they will close 1 today to observe Thanksgiving and will not re-open until next Monday, 1 Dec. Ist. Last week the warehouses sold a total of 2,414,010 pounds of the weed at an average price of $25.08, accor ding to the report of Major Z. T. Bynum, of the Tobacco Board of Trade at Winston-Salem. During the present season all of the warehouses at Winston have sold a total of 18,408,145 pounds, and the average price has been up to this time $23.10 per hundred pounds. Inauguration To Be Very Simple Affair 111 all probability there will be neith »r an inaugural parade nor an inaugural ball on March 4, next, in Wshington. While President Coolidge has not yet talun up the matter formally his strong inclination toward simplicity, as will as his systematic de mand for economy anil retrench ment, will both make it probable that he follow the example set by President Harding in 1921. Four years ago the inaugural pro cession was of the simplest char acter, and there was no inaugural ball. Former President Wilson did not hold an inaugural ball either in 1913 or 1917. While no definite announcement is expected from the White House for some time as yet, the belief is prevalent that President Coolidge will decide against making any for mal or elaborate celebration in con nection with the ceremonies on March 4. Courtesy Rides Or Lifts Dangerous Business Accidents and hold-ups have put a crimp in automobile "courtesy rid ing." The driver of a car thinks twice these days before he gives the man on the corner, waiting for a trolley car, or the wayfarer on the highways it "lift." On the subject of "courtesy rid ing" The Charlotte Observer has this to say: "There have been numerous in stances where automobilists have lie n sued by those to whom they had extended the courtesy of a ride on account of injuries incurred in the course of the ride. The courts in many states have decided that there lis direct liability. One Charlotte man who, with his wife, invited a neighbor couple for an evening drive in their new car paid $2,500 as a | result of injuries suffered by the | couple when another automobile ran into his car. | "One Charlotte business man at present is on pins as the result of injuries which two persons who were riding in his car suff. red when an accident occurred. I "Another North Carolina business | man in a neighborhintr city picked up •a couple at High Point and had his I car wrecked by a collision with an- I other car at Thomasville, his cour j U'sv-ritlers being injured with the oth -rs. Unless this matter has been 1 re.-ntly settled this gentleman is j fncing ii suit for personal injuries *>y H- ri>twhile guests." i C.i-irt rulings on the point are bad, | for they appear to put him in the j i I'iss of common carrier, so far as 'liability fn" damages or injury is iconcern d. In other \v.mis, the ilrivcr who I extends "courtesy rides" to friend or ntranger assumes the same re j sponsilvlity for life and property as ! is placed upon the street railways. The boys are wonderfully politi in rising from their seats whenevei a pretty girl comes in. A good deal of alarm is manifest ed because Congress will soon as> seni'.le to save the country. Some folks need to spend a littli less time repairing the social systen ; and a little more in mending thei . own buildings. DOLLAR A POUND PAID FOR TOBACCO Lum Booth Gets Highest Price Paid For Tobacco Since the Peak of the World War— , Sold At Pepper's. Winston-Salem, Nov. 22.—One of the highest prices paid per pound for tobacco on this market since during the World War, was paid on yesterday at Pepper's warehouse, when Lum Booth, of the Meadows section of Stokes county, sold 88 pounds of the leaf for one dollar a pound. The tobacco was bought by one of the Winston-Salem tobacco manufacturers. The pile of tobacco sold by Mr. Booth yesterday was a bright leaf and was exceptionally fine for wrap pers.. Besides this pile of tobacco Mr. Booth sold several other piles at at high prices. Including the 88 pounds mentioned above he sold a total of 178 pounds for $332.74, an average of about .s(>'.(.so per hundred. This is the highest average recorded on this market during the present season and probably holds the rec ord for several seasons past. The several lots of tobacco sold by Mr. Booth were as follows: S8 pounds at SI.OO, 112 at o>c.. •">2 pounds at 01c., S>o pounds at 51c., 10 pounds at 50c., and 120 pounds at 71 cents. To Regulate Motor Busses and Jitneys Throughout North and South Carolina today the subject of motor bus and jitneys is commanding thoughtful and widespread considera tion. Newspapers, state, city and county officials as well as thinking citizens generally are giving it serious attention. Every angle to the subject—the necessity for State regulation, the wear and tear on the improved highways, of the states, license and taxes, competition with the rail ways and street railways, the cut throat price wars, the speeding of the busses, the dilemma as to the transportation of express and other mails if trains are discontinued, the regularity and dependability of the bus service—all are being discussed. The editor of the Durham Herald, after a trip on one of the North Carolina bus lines, sounds a warn ing on one phase of the situation. He writes: "If the state is to pro tect the highways for the general travel, it will have to do something ! to regulate the speed of busses." Fixing the speed at which he had I trailed at about 55 miles an hour the c'river admitting 4S miles— I The Herald editor remarks that "no | railroad would dare impose such a ! risk upon its passengers." Along simlar lines the Greens -1 boro News says: i "Every person in this state who drives a car will do well to givi ! some thought to the stage .coach | piloted by an individual %-'hi. do I (.ends on the weight of his .luggei naut mai hin-. to open for nim a lam o f t~. flic in tiisregifj wf a!' high way laws. "Unless such thinking on the pari of the public, threatened daily, is effective, the speed and recklessness |of one of these drivers will furnisl a front-page horror for the -news | papers one of these mornings." Good Neighbors The country town folks may bi ! awfully busy with the mountains > work that they pile up for them selves, but somehow when Unci' lliram or Neighbor Smith is laid u| with that pesky rheumatiz, the; manage to squeeze out half a day ti saw up his wood or get in his corn. Many folks who move oIT to citie where their next door neighbor don't know their names, miss that oh ' friendliness in the icy atmosptuY I into which they have dropped, j Modern progress is a tine thinp ( ! but it should never lead our folks ii r I this section to drop the fine oli j neighborly spirit. And let us giv I a hearty welcome to every strange | who comes here, either to settle o "i to visit.

ONE NEGRO I KILLS ANOTHER I R. G. Allen Strikes Commodore j I Kallahan Over Head With Mattock Handle, Resulting In His Death—Allen In Jail. R. G. Allen, colored, is in Stokes jail at Danbury charged with the v murder of Commodore Kallahan, ii also colored. The killing occurred on n the Flat Shoal road, about three e miles south of Danbury, Saturday v last, where the men were engaged n in road work. Both were in the d employment of Z. T. Sherrill, one of t the county road superintendents, i though neither of the men were s prisoners. According to eye witnesses Allen r and Kallahan had had some difficulty t early in the day and in the afternoon t the quarrel was renewed, when it is I stated that Allen picked up a mat- a tock handle and went up behind Kal- 3 lahan and struck him twice over the back of the head and shoulders. Kal- j i lahan never spoke after being hit, i' but lived several hours after being ! taken to a Winston-Salem hospital, j i A preleminaiy hearing was had i i before Justice N. A. Martin here j' Monday night, and Allen was re- manded to jail without bail. 1 Coming* of the Airplane, ■ ithin 12 months we may see it', material difference in the transporta-', tion system of the country. It may !. may be safely stated that the high- ! ways are not going to be quite so! crowded as the road-builders have , anticipated, as the pressure will be relieved through medium of Lhe air p ane. Ownership of an airplane may become as common as ownership of an automobile now is. Henry Ford is a man accredited with '.lie faculty of seeing into the future, and instead of discouraging the coining of the plane as competition with the automobile, he is onco.iiT.ging it The Detroit correspondent of The Wall Street Journal sends that paper information of ;I gift JI an "airport" by Henry and ICdsel Ford. It ad joins the Ford plant, at Dearborn, 11 miles from Detroit, and will prob -11 ably serve as a terminal of airplane '. companies now being formed, which 'twill operate between Detroit and 1 other centers, although all civilian as well as Army, Navy and air mail ' pilots will be free to use it. In do nating the field, the Fords disclaim ' ed any intention of going into the | • airplane business, stating they were interested only in watching its de ' velopnient. The field comprises 200 acres and has been laid out with two 300-foot ' wide runways 3,700 and 3,400 feet 1 long, respectively. In the center of the field the name "Ford" appears in letters 200 feet wide made of white crushed stone. This is visible from ' an altitude of 10,000 feet. Gasoline, oil and spare parts for the more popular makes of civilian planes will be available on the field for visiting pilots. The iiir port, we take it, cor responds to the automobile camp, now developed into a popular institu- I tion at all towns in the country. And s the Fords are providing this facility s for airplane business in face of the II fact that a neighbor plant is now en gaged in turning out airplanes for .ommercial purposes and for individ ual ownership. Undoubtedly the day is not far away when there will be put on the market :is many "makes" e of individual a l'llur.e* as there now f | are of automobiles. Charlotte Ob . | server.

Supt. of Schools J. C. Carson, who was here from Gernianton Monday, is enthusiastic over the good work now going on in the schools of the county./ All of them are supplied with efficient teachers and are run ning on full time. So far contagious diseases and other troubles incident to this season of the year have not interfered with the progress of the schools. The attendance in the schools has never before been as good as at this time, and Mr. Carson states that there are now eight hundred more pupils in the Stokes schools than were in attendance this time last year. W. N". Reynolds of Winston-Salem, recently visited the Reynolds school, which hi- donated to the people of Quaker Gap in memory of his moth er, and Mr. Reynolds was surprised at th./ number of children enrolled in the school. He stated that when he decided to build this school he asked the architect to make plans for a building that would take care of 25t> children comfortably, thinking that such a bu'lding would be adequate I for a number of years. IT >\vovor, . there are already enrolled at the j school more than 350 children and the number continues to increase al j most daily. It is probable that the ■ building will be enlarged at an early date.
