| ASSOCIATED PRESS AND CENTRAL PRESS i Grits and Gravel (By T. MOSES JONES.) Moses, Ji’„ seems to be getting: along nicely with his foot that the nail was stuck in last Friday. He still is in bed with a fresh flax-seed-meal poultrice bound all around it. We hope he will be able to get out again in a few more days. Elwood, Jr., youngest son of Sheriff and Mrs. Elwood P. Davis, who lives across the way, came and brought him a carton of ice cream which he ate on short order. He has been reading and lying on the bed and trying to keep quiet, but it is i job for him just as it would be a job for me. Had a nice ride in a couple of coun ties today with a friend who happened to be going to see a'rout some busi ness, and I happened to walk along just as he was leaving. It sure was a pleasure to ride leisurely along and look at the crops, and see what was going on, instead of "making ninety.’’ And we got back the same day we left. Mrs. J. J. Moore, of Nelson, Va. ! was over to our town lately with her two daughters. Rosa Lee and Dorothy May. Mrs. Moore was holding the pret tiest. great, big. blue-eyed baby. And I didn’t know that Joe had a fine baby at his house. Lee Roy Jones, of near Chase City, had such a big dinner Monday that he chewed one of his tooth fillings out. He decided to come to town at once and get it fixed, so he brushed what was left of his teeth and actuallv brushed another filling out. If he hadn’t come on to town as soon as he did, he would not have had enough tpeth left to eat supper. , Just at this point I left my writing to rttend lodge meeting. The I. O. O.

And if you want to hear all kinds of foolishness and funniness go ing on, just get several boys that age together and tune in on them. Johnnie Banks of Newton, N. C., a young friend of long standing, was in town for the week-end. Hadn’t seen him for some time. Wish he would write us a letter and tell us the news of that section of the state. Gave Buck Howell several sample copies until I finally landed his name on our subscription list. Buck likes to read the news. Every time it rains until he canno* plow except from a boat, J. H.

(Char lie) Blackley, And when Mr. Blackley and all those boys of his come to town, I mean it is just like Frank linton set down right in the middle of Oxford- And every week from one to ten times (but mostly about once) Early Williford and his son, Percy, from be yond Berea and up towards Rouge mont, come to town. And somewhere near them lives a yoiing man named E. Pluribus Williams. It seems that at the time he was born, his daddy just couldn’t think of a name good enough for the baby. He didn’t want to name him Tom, Dick, or Harry, or any ordinary name. Jim and Joe and John and Jake; Bill and Bob and Ben; Seth and Sam and Saul and Sol and a thousand other names weren’t what he wanted to call his boy. And about that time Mr. Williams happened to pujl a silver dollar from his pocket and read the words, “E Pluribus TJnum”, so he named the bov E. Pluribus Williams. If any one can top that one, just send it in. My own dear mama came over tnd spent the morning with us yesterday and we were sure glad to have her. She can get around on her crutches, which is lots better than having to stay in bed, since her right leg was broken in a fall last summer. The operator said to me the other day, "Moses, you sure went back into some ancient history when you told* about all those things that happened when you were a boy.” Then I assured him that the best part of it was that not many who read it could dispute it, even though they didn't think it. was ;o. Jimmie Cash and Police Strickland fooled me worse than terrible yester day. They told me to come on and go to ride with them. When I got in he car they turned around and pro ceeded about half a block and wound up at the garage. So that was the width, breadth, and length of my ride. I will know them better for next time. That song, "Whispering”, which was all the rage fifteen or twenty years ago, keeps running through my mind I It is just as pretty now as it was then and is often still heard over the radio. I some time ago read in a magazine that the writer of that song offered to go halves with another fellow for the sum of a hundred dollars, which, offer the other fellow refused. The author finally got it started off and only cleared about seventy-five-tlious and dollars on it. Sometimes we ill miss our once chance in life, and that chance never comes again.

It was one which he had often repeated in life, and the words sum med up h : s constant thought and daily duty “Mind the Light.” Those words might well serve as a motto for ever Christian. Jesus calls us the light of the world, and at the same time warns us of the danger that our light may be dimmed or ob scured. Men do not light a lamp and put it under a bushel, tut too often in the Christian life they do that very thing. The light is there, sometimes hidden and obscured by some fault or defect that obstructs its full radiance. It may be some sin which should b : destroyed. “Mind the Light.” Railroad Problem Os Recent Origin (Continued from Pagp o:>e.» respondent, “is that much ‘real’ in vestment in ’ ailroad property is un profitable. This is true of both remote and recent expenditures. Whether or not interest is a burden depends not so much on whether full value for the outlay was gotten at the time it was spent, but on whetether the expendi ture does any good now. The bystand er can criticize the policies of some railroads as wise, and some as un wise. “The American Association of Rail roads and the brotherhoods both are right. The roads can show property values substantially in excess of ther liabilities: the brotherhoods can show that a good deal of this property might just as well be water. “My own opinion is that there was ffc* Br-, PS' COOD/fEAR x JleadiaUPji'ie'im IN VALUE, POPULARITY, SALES ION ! f/TM Car owners the world over have, for 23 consecutive rA) I i wljji y®**** bought more Goodyear All-Weathers than J /g*™ SERVICE WITH A SMILE! • Complete tire and bat _ _ , tery service, lubrication, • Expert workmen, high qual- washing, gas and oil. lty lubricants, and the latest ririvo;« J* j i i, __ modem equipment all these DnVe ln —° r telephone, if assure you the best lubrication y° u _ Want speedy road job in town.

Phones 408 and 409 a lot of foolishness in railroad capital expenditures, based on the careless assumption that things would go on forever as they were up to 1926. Still, it appears unfair for the brotherhoods io generalize loosely about watered capitalizations.” "Not Over-CapitiUlzesd.” Second point: ‘“The investigation sponsored by the late Senator La Fol lette,” relates Mr. Shaw, “proved con clusively that the existing railroad plant could not be replaced by the expenditures of an amount equal to the total capitalization of the rail roads. “In other words, on a replacement - less-dcpreciation basis, the roads were not and are not over-capitalized. “On a value-in-use basis, perhaps they are. So are a lot of businesses. “if the roads could have foreseen the severity of obsolescence to which many of their properties would be subject, they would have avoided many expenditures and written off many others. 1 readily can share cri ticism of them for not being more conservative on this score, but it hardly seems to justify name-calling.” Security Holders Loss. Third point: “Since no one,” says Mr. Shaw, “can guarantee the profit ableness of a given investment, and since the roads must raise a certain amount of money from time to time (maybe not as much as they think) there always will he the innocent third parties—the bond holders. “Mr. McKillips’ attitude appears to be, toward all holders of marginal railroad securities. ‘You must take the rap. We won’t.’ “In practice, the security holders will take, and, to a large extent, have taken the rap. About all that the managements are doing is to try to spread the rap around.” Sins In 1920-’3O. In conclusion, observes Correspon dent Shaw, “I must add an objection to your statement that the stock watering and over-bonding date back a generation or two. “There was plenty of it, but what is causing the roads’ trouble todav consists more substantially of bonds sold in the 1920-’3O period.
