4, "GREENSBORO, N. C. PAGE TWO v .: WARRING WASP Tfie Old Man Gets A Good Jolt. OD'S little insects and lit tle creatures have things fixed for them- and they are just as brave, just as v hold, just as daring as men who float bonds and buy munitions of war. '-' ". It might be asked how we know: this, and upon what authority we would make such a statement. Come a little closer and listen to this story. The other day Colonel Lindsey Hopkins was in town and with Mr. J. E. Latham he asked us to join in a fish fry at Har die's Pond. . Well, you all know us and you know that a fish fry always catches us even if we can't catch fish But the long story short and that "is al ways best.,-. Hopkins and Latham and Jo Har die had to seine to get their fish. We wanted to try out the rod and the reel. We took a boat and were nicely fixed across the pond but the boat wanted to "move on." Naturally we reached out and grasped a friendly twig of a friendly shrub and just then it "was that we were like the Germans going across the grass of the Belgians! Two old hornets clean cut, for form and beauty nothing in God's handiwork excelling them, pounced downupon our hand. They were the advance guard. The Burgymas ter was giving orders. Two hundred maybe five hundred were .in mo tion, ' getting ready to do us! And each one was proud and patriotic! It would have been a war had we re mained., It was-Germany getting on the grass of Belgium- anl Belgium had her rights. Our hand was swollen the next day -sore but we took off our hat to those patriotic wasps leaving us alone until we encroached, as they believed, on their territory, and then they fought like demons! Right? Of course they were right, and we were wholly to blame. Tobacco Wilt.i 'Mr. H. C. Young of the depart ment of plant disease of the North Carolina Experiment Station, recent ly returned from a visit to several .counties in the Piedmont section of the State where he has been inves tigating areas of tobacco wilt, which is proving very hurtful to the crop this year. A number of fields were found to be infected really more than had been reported to the sta tion pathologists. The disease is prevalent over the greater part of the tobacco-growing belt, and is fast spreading to other '"fields. There is no method of com bating the disease except by a thor ough system off. crop rotation, using crops that do iot carry, the' disease riiisvisH quite irobablaithat-- oxntD plants will grow and spread the wilt much ' more .rapidly than will the 1o- acco plant. . 1- . TRUIili CONFESSES. Will Pay The Penalty Of His Crime Which He Lays To Whiskey. Charles E. Trull, the dope fiend convicted for the murder of Sidney wain in Charlotte, has come into amp and confessed to the norrible ime. The story, as- told in a Ral- special to the Charlotte Ob is that, "confronted by the of death in the electric iday morning for the mur- irobDery of Sidney Swain in all efforts for commuta- g failed Charles E. Trull to his spiritual adviser, Potter of the Glenwood urch, what he terms true confession." In ractically all of tthe made to Governor loher last week in overnor to extend and G ible JF5o " j In Dogdom. The Pittsburg Dispatch says: "There may be nothing of much interest that one could write about the dog life of Pennslyvania, but there is : considerable that is of im-1 portance. For instance, the Penn sylvania Legislature that adjourned a few weeks ago passed a bill, which the Governor signed, prohibiting aliens from owning dogs. To some this would look like ridiculous dis crimination, yet it is based on a condition in the mining regions that has proved very expensive to the people, and whose adjustment has caused much perplexity. "It would seem that any man, na tive or foreigner, should not be de nied the privilege of owning a dog. A trained, well-bred dog is a very lovable sort of animal, but in crowds or herds dogs are a pest, albeit through no fault of their own. Near ly every foreigner in tbe mining dis tricts has owned his dog, and often cared for it with more affection than for his own wife, but thousands of them were not satisfied with only one dog. Some owned half a dozen or a dozen -until the dog assessor or tax collector came round, and then all the dogs in the commun ity, with rare exceptions, proved to be ownerless and homeless. "Throughout the night these usually worthless dogs in packs roamed the countryside, and de stroyed many thousands . of sheep. The responsibility as to ownership, although well understood, could never be definitely placed." POLICE DOGS. Most Valuable Assistants In Detec tion And Capture Of Criminals. Walter A. Dyer, in Country Life in America, has an interesting article on. police dogs, common in many parts of Europe. According to Mr. Dyer New York is the only American municipality that has made any fair test of a dog squad as a part of its police force. And even this test has been attended by remarkable indif ference, both popular and official, in the face of the conclusive fact that in the precinct where the dogs are used, burglaries, holdups and other night crimes have been reduced 50 per cent and housebreaking after 11 o'clock at night, when the dogs go on duty, has become so infrequent as to be negligible. The idea, originated in Belgium some eighteen or twenty years ago and was first tried in Ghent, where the system later reached its highest degree of perfection. The practice spread throughout France and Ger many, so that before the war there were nearly two thousand police dogs employed in the latter country, the majority of which were German shepherds. Injnost foreign cities the dogs are used'' without muzzles and; are taught out Inflicting serious in j ury. : :; j In Brooklyn, however, it has been found more practicable to work them with stiff leather muzzles and to train them to attack ferociously, hurling themselves against criminals who attempt an aggressive attitude, and to trip and throw them if they try to escape by flight. Such tactics to gether .with the alarm raised by the dog's cry, have made him more greatly feared than the patrolman's nightstick or revolver. The training, which begins with obedience to fundamental com mands, requires time, perserverance and patience, for the dogs are ne cessarily active, alert and possessed of individual initiative. In the end, however, it produces dogs of extraordinary intelligence, devotion and courage. They are taught to cleave to a single master, to recog nize men in uniforms as friends and all others as possible enemies; to answer at once the police whistle or the rap of the stick; to hurl them selves upon a man attacking a po liceman; to pursue and throw a fleeing criminal; to search around buildings at night and to give notice by barking of the presence of per- ln tne shadows. They become ry clever at .throwing a runner, zing his leg in their f orepaws ch as a football player tackles man. men on the dog squad are pa n chosen because of their love and their interest in the are on duty from 11 ht to 6 in the morning, n taking out the same and keeping him in from post. pt in training by each night in somewhat a ickey, goes ons V 1 V ey v ""sonating a "rfickey, ' goes f A MUST SHADE LIGHTS. Automobile Owners Oppose The Richmond Ordinance. An ordinance has just gone into effect in Richmond prohibiting oper ators of motor vehicles from using dazzling headlights. The measure is designed to reduce the accident hazard in the streets and is similar to ordinances of this character that are in force in practically every large city in the country. The ordinance provides: "That no operator of any automo bile or other motor-vehicle of any other kind, motor trucks or motor cycles included, whne operating the same upon any public highway with in the limits of this city, shall use any acetylene, electric or other head light on such vehicle, unless such headlight be properly designed, cov ered, shaded, deflected, or mechani cally ; dimmed,- so that it will not blind or dazzle other users of the highway, or make it difficult or un safe for him to ride, drive or walk thereon; and any person violating this provision shall be subject to a fine of not less than $1 or more than $5, for each and every offense, and to a fine of not less than $5, and not more than $25 for each and every subsequent offense. "And for the purpose of making this ordinance N fully effective the owner of any -motor vehicle operat ing contrary to the purpose thereof shall be deemed prima facie the op erator thereof." Most of . the recent automobile models, it is stated, have been pro vided with contrivances ' enabling them to comply with the new ordinance-. Those that are not so equip ped will find it possible to purchase; dimmers or aenectors mat will an swer the demands of the ordinance, at any of the automobile supply houses at a nominal cost. The ordinance was introduced in the Council by Councilman English, of Clay Ward, about a year ago, but rested for a long time in committee with strong opposition from the Au tomobile Club of Richmond, and in dividual car owners. These admit ted the value of an ordinance of this character provided horse-drawn ve hicles and vehicles of every descrip tion were required to carry lights at night. Without such a require ment, they claimed, the dimming of automobile headlights would in crease instead of diminish the street hazard. Big Man Dies. In the death of John D. Long, former secretary of the Navy and former governor of Massachusetts, 'the United States lost a big man and a patriotic citizen. John D. Long was secretary of the Navy during the Spanish-American War. It -was he who is on record as having despatched the famous mes sage of April 25, 1898 to Commodore George Dewey, commanding the Asiatic Squadron, then awaiting or ders at Hong Kong. The message read: "War 'has t commenced between Spain and the United States. Pro ceed; at once-to "ike Philippine Is lands. Capture or destroy the SDan- Ish ships. Use the utmost endeav or." It was on the sixth day after the receipt of these orders that Dewey reported his great victory in the bat tle of Manila Bay. As to the mes sage which had thus sent the fleet into action, Secretary Long once said: "My name was at the bottom. Glo rious dispatch! I should rather like to have the credit of it. But it was not mine. I directed Chief Crownin shield of the Bureau of Navigation to have such a dispatch made ready. But Crowninshield did not write it. Who prepared it! Some subordinate clerk in his bureau. Who! God only knows. As for me, I should not have used the word 'commenced.' I shouia have said 'the war has begun. Aside from that, it is a mighty good mes sage. I think we can pardon that word. The dispatch came in to me. I took it to the president, saying to him: "Mr. President, I think this ought to go.' He said: 'all right, sign it. " A Fair Proposition. The Lexington Dispatch has re ceived a letter purporting to be from a citizen of Stanly county, asking for information concerning an im mense fortue, $300,000 to $500, 000, that is said to be hid in the e i rth somewhere in Davidson ty. He only asks that sccio kind person tell him where it is and he will uncover it, clean the dust and dirt off, and give his informant one third of the loot. Of course information will be forthcoming. WONDERFUL. FIGURES. But Nothing Over Which We Should Exultantly Boast. A Washington dispatch says: "The greatest total of internal revenue receipts in the history, of the government, with income tax from individuals nevertheless $42, 000,000 under the amount estimat ed by the framers of the income tax law when it was enacted, were re corded in the annual report of the commission of Internal revenue, Wil liam H. Osborn. The aggregate re ceipts during the fiscal year ended June 30, including the corporation and individual income taxes, reach ed $415,000,000, against $380,000 for the previous year. "Corporations paid in $39,144,529 and individuals $41,046,166, a total of $80,190,695. At the Capitol it was explained that the world-wide depression on account of the war in 1914 partly expia.'ned the falling off from 'he original estimate and that while th3 framers of the law figured that there were at least 100 people in the United States with incomes c-Z $1'. 000.000 or more, there were only 41 having such incomes. "New York, with $10,221,207 corporation tax revenue, and $17, 417,538 from individuals, produced the greatest Federal income tax of all the States. "Under the emergency revenue law enacted last Ocotber, the Treas ury collected $52,609,126." While the average man thinks that because the corporation has been swatted the rich man pays the freight, the income tax law unjust ly comes directly 'from the success ful individual. The corporation tax revenue, is chisseled, for the most part out of the small stock holder, and the political party that boasts of great gains when obtained under the present laws should be ashamed of itself. With our exports greater than ever in the history of the United States greater by something like three to one we also have the un blushing effrontery to boast that "under the emergency revenue law enacted last October, the treasury collected $52,609,126." And they call it a war tax, whereas, if it had not been for the war there would already have been something doing with the wage workers of America. If we have collected $415,000,000 in the past year from our home people to keep the government going, why not have a tariff for revenue only? Instant Death. G. F. Woodward, a lineman en gaged with the Southern Power Company force which is running a steel tower line from Salisbury to Statesville, met instant death Mon day when he came in contact with a highly charged wire. The accident happened just south of the city. A physician worked for an hour try ing to' revive the man but without result. Mr. Woodward was 35 years old and his home was at Lincolnton. SOUTHERN RAILWAY NEW TRADE MARK. The Southern Railway Company has adopted a new and attractive trade ma;k as shown above. The design "SR" is symbolical to the name of the road and the wording "The Southern Serves the South" is suggestive of the many lines oper ated by the Southern Railway throughout all of the states south of the Ohio and Potomac and east of the Mississippi rivers. There is hardly a city or town of importance throughout the entire South that is not connected with the balance of the South either direct ly by the Southern Railway's own trains or by. sleeping car lines over other roads in connection with Southern Railway, via some adjacent point. On this account the title "The Southern Serves the South" was adopted as being appropriate. Southern Railway spends about $200,000 a year in advertising and a great deal of this advertising is done in the Northern, Eastern and Western sections of the country so as to attract people into the South, and on all of this advertising matter this trade mark will appear here after. i . :1U 1J t . 1 -i " v Fronr Guilford Tps-Fran.ce. A cafjbad of cross ties' was ship ped from McLeansvllle this week to France, to be used in building rail roads to ship supplies to the soldiers In the field. These ties were of superior quality and will help to spread the name of Guilford, which stands for the-best, no matter what the commodity.
