The sudden and shocking death, in an automobile accident of Col, Frederick W Galbraith. Jr., national commander of the American Legion, on the eve of his departure on a speaking tour in behalf of legislation before Congress in the interest of ser vice men, is most regretable. As chief executive officer of the Legion, Colonel Calbraith had exhibited the qualities of courage and persistence which won him fame on the battle-fiield, and the sterling Americanism of his public ut terance had endeared him to many who are not members of the soldiers' organization. ."" Other sections of this nation are beginning to see the negro question nearer their own door, and as they stack up against the negro the white people of the west and north occasion ally have serious outbreaks against the negro, or negroes you might siy. Other sections go at it wholesale when the occasion arises, while down south the white folks lynch one or two when the high crime is committed or as many as found involved, but the in nocent negro is seldom disturbed. Attention has been drawn to the greater breadth of vision so much in evidence now in President Harding as contrasted with some of his utter ances made prior to taking office says the Chester Reporter. Whether Mr. Harding really believes in some of his utterances, or whether they were only a petard for getting into office doesn't matter; it is very evident that he is getting off the platform constructed by Messrs. Lodge, Penrose, and others for him to stand on. Whether it will mean confusion and civil war in the Republican ranks, or whether the plat form was a mere subterfuge with the whole crowd remains to be seen. At any rate the Presidency has seemed to have the usual effect on Mr. Harding. It has broadened and transformed his outlook; and he gives every indication of measuring up to the great moral responsibilities that the. Presidency carries with it. A New York woman hired "ghosts" to scare her husband. But now she is in jail, because it worked too well they made him one. Greensboro News. WHY NOT? Springfield Republican. Bates College debaters have sailed for Egland to argue with representa tives of Oxford on the affirmative of the question: "Resolved that this house approves the America policy of non-intervention in European affairs." If they know just what this policy 3, why not tell the home folks: Dr. Wiley tells the house judicia -y committee that beer is not a medi cine. As we understand it, that is not the point urged by those who want the beer prescription legalized. The poi.it is, they want it called a medicine. Kansas City Star.

Ervin received a message Monday telling of the death of her aunt, Mrs. Mollie Sherrill, which occured at her home near Sherrill's Ford, this county. Mrs. Sherrill had been an invalid for a number of years, and was 81 years of age. Her husband, Woodford Sherrill, died in October, 1916'. The deceased had been a member of Rehoboth Meth odist church for many years.where she was buried Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. J. W, Erwin, Misses Dorothy and Winnie Ervin, of this city, attended the fun eral. Mrs. Sherrill was a native of New ton, being a sister of the late William Scronce. She was married soon after the close of the war, and made her home near Sherrill's Ford. A COOLING-OFF PERIOD It is very well for work to be given the news associations that the post ponement of consideration of the Lin ney nomination was because of the ab sence of a Republican Senator, but the country knows better. The case was postponed indefinitely in order that meantime the rebellious negro ele ment might beco..ie pacified and th' way straigntened out for the Western Senators who are fearful of the effect the war on the negro vote might have on their fortunes. The situation had become so acute that action one way or another at this time would have surely precipitating trouble in the Republi can ranks. The Linney matter has been side-tracked merely that it might undergo the cooling-off process. Charlotte Ubserver. The great need of the country just at present is something to make hoes as attractive as hose. Marion Star. Bandits lined up dancers in a road- house near Chicago early yesterday, or late the night before, and got a ay with jewelry and cash estimated at nearly $20,000 .One woman saved dia monds valued at $15,000 by dropping them into her cup of coffee. As hus band to a woman who can react to a situation as quickly and brilliantly as that, the average man would be but clay in hands of the potter. Greens boro News. SENSATIONAL DIVORCE ACTION IN GUILFORD. Greensboro New. Suit for divorce from bed and board and for the custody and tuition for his four children was filed in Superior court yesterday morning by Mack a. Parrish, 39-year-old farmer of near Stokesdale. Among the sensational chages made In the complaint as' grounds for the divorce is that for more than two years past the defen dant, Annie Parish, his wife, has "willfully, continuously, and repeat edly, and with studied maliciousness, offered such indignities to the person of the plaintiff as to render his con dition intolerable and his life burden some. ' He alleges futhermore that she refused to perform the household du ties of a wife and often stated, "she had got the man she didn't want, that there was mighty little she was go ing to do for him, and that she would get the man she wanted yet. He alleged, also, that she "repeat edly curses and abused plaintiff in the vilest terms in the presence and hear ing of their infant children'; that for more than a year in 1919 and 1920 the defendant "kept a half of a buggy whip and a large stick or club at the head of her bed and stated she had them there for the plaintiff so that the plaintiff feared the defendant might arise at night and endanger his hfe while he slept. Article 11 of the complaint alleges that in 1920 the defendant "thereate-i- ed she would get rid of him mighty easv so that she could get the man she wanted, said it wouldn't take but one match to destroy his property, and threatened to cut his throat while he slept. "The defendant stated on several occasions in 1920," he continues the complaint, "that she had frequently stood bv his bed at nirrht while ne slept, with a butcher kniie in her hand tempting to cut his throat and get rid of him, and was restrained from do ing so only by the fear of making a mislick and not finishing him." and that as a result he was forced to sleep in his feedbarn and away fron his home during more than a month. SUBMARINE GHEEN In the game Wednesday in Char lotte between Columbia and Charlotte Tom Gheen, well know here was the pitcher for Cha-lotte and won by the score of 8 to 2 Columbia getting only 4 hits off Gheen. The Observer's gossip writer said of Ghee.i Thurs day: Submarine Gheen is fast de veloping into one of the best twirlers on the staff. At times he is a little un steady with men on, but then he doesn't often let them get more than one at a time, He sure pulled him self out of a bad hole yesterday. ,neen won Ins second game for Charlotte last Saturday, when he pitched againsc Charleston team. Pitcher Gheen spent the week end at his home in Lincolnton. MY PRAYER (Emma Ingold Bost.
