THE DELAYS OF.THE LAW The delays in the law, which Mr, Sanders, of Johnston, seeks to reme dy, will not be prevented by the pas sage of a- bill to require cupci.. Court judges to remain in a county every day of the term.' No men work more diligently than these ouicers and no one should begrudge the few days they are at home. Indeed, it is true that they havo virtually no holi day, for the few weeks when they are not away from borne holding court they are making up cases on appeal and hearing motions. There ought to be enough judges to see that trials are held promptly ahd husiness would fee expedited If a judge remained, in one district a whole year instead of six months as at present and if after every four weeks 6f hold ing court the judge had a week at home. These two provisions, plus power to the judges to limit the ar irument of counsel and a fuller exer cise of their authority lo compel cases to be tried promptly would do much to remedy the law's delay.

CHERRY FRIDAY At Regular Weekly Luncheon Mayor R. G Cherry of Gastonia is Special Guest and Principal Speaker. , At the last Friday luncheon of the Lincolnton Kiwania Club, Mayor R. G. Cherry, of Gastonia, was a special guest and the principal - speaker of the evening. Mr. Cherry, is a delight ful speaker, and his address , on this occasion: was one of interest through out. His preliminary remarks, were hef a numerous nature, and pleased, because Kiwamans believe in a bit of fun as well 'as the serious. Mayor Cherry for a few minutes discussed city government, making comparisons between the old aldermanic form and the Town Manager forms of citylgov. efnment He thoughj- the alderntanit form was all right where suitable men could be induced to give their .time free. The manager form of city gov ernment he declared ideal in theory, and that in many places had proven practical while in other towns there was dissatisfaction. The managerial form of city government is used ii Gastonia, said thc speaker, there -being five councilmen elected by the people just as formerly elected under the aldermanic form, except that the five councilman are elected at large from any section of the city. These councilmen select from their num ber the mayor. Under the Manager form the council selects a town mana ger, whosg duties are to manage the affairs of the eity, he being a central head working under the direction of the town council. The manager looks after all affairs of the city, does- the buying; gives his entire time to look ing after the interests of the city government, directing all of its vari ous affairs. Mr Cherry states that the town manager's position is a very important one, and that the selection of the manager is the all important task under the manager form of city government,' as on tne manager 'de pends" success or failures under mana gerial form of city government. May or Cherry was introduced by Mr. T. C. Committee. ; ' " '- - ' -: The business meeting was presided over by J. Frank Love, Report of the Kiwanis check -show ed that 3.

V A mother's aid law should be enact ed by the present General Assembly. With a little financial assistance the widowed mother could keep her little ones with her and give them the ines timable blessings of a mother's lov ing care, rather than send her children to an orphanage, even if room can be found for them in such an institution. The sheltering care of a mother's love a hundred fold better for the child than any institution that can be pro vided, and this is no attempt to dis count, the orphanages. In fact, these home prov.ided by the churches and fraternal orders are the finest institu tions of our civilization, but the or- pnanages are not gent. remainder, half of the needy children of North.6 ,,, Carolina.

A night's med itation over her "confession" yester day afternoon that she killed Uray Smith in defense of her honor evident ly caused Mary Collins to decide .to tell the whole truth about the affair, and early this morning after having sent for Solicitor Huff mant she admit ted to mm mat the nrst story was told in a desperate effort to shield her mother, Mrs. Rosalie Collins, who she now says, shot her cousin. Mrs. Collins, who is also in jail, has not been allowed to converse with her daughter and although she knows of Mary's taking all the blame upon her f.elf in the story' she told yesterday she does not know the turn that the affair has taken today and still main tains her own innocense. Near To Truth Interviewed tonight Solicitor Huff man, who has given much timeto solving the mystery connected with the alleged murder of young Smith, said that -the whole matter waa turn ing out rather as he expected and he is of the opinion that he is nearer the truth today than at any time since the tragedy occurred last September.

The state law as it now exists does ot conform to the national law upon he subject of the control of the liquor raffic. Why not make the state law o conform to the Volstoad Act? The Anti-Saloon ; League explains he difference as they now exist be wee,n the state and federal laws. Here are the points of difference: . "In answer to your question as to what are the difference between the 1 state law and the Volstead Act, we will say there are a good many. Tho- 3tate law allows the manufacture and sale of wine and intoxicating ciders. The federal law does not The state .aw allows the possession of liquor for beverage purposes, the Volstead law does not. The state provides no nuis ance act, the federal law does. The state law as interpreted by the su preme court of North Carolina under wo decisions has an automomible law hat is "ineffective; the Volstead law - has an automobile law which- is effec- ive. The state law has no pro vision to arrest and punish the land . owners, or' the other person that may be behind the liquor wsiness, and on whose land the block- ader makes liquor, and who is in 'ca hoot' with the liquor making, but tho federal law has a provision that ca catch him."- ''''' - - - Ju-'ge Stack last week at Greens boro sent a "holiness" preacher to tho roads sixty days for driving an auto mobile when intoxicated and further enjoined that for the next six months this man - should not be allowed to preach. This action of the judge is out of his desire thnt the Christian ministry shall bo clean. He pent a married man who had deserted his lick wife and had seduced an innocent girl under promise of marriage to the roads for three years. Such a judge as this is to be commended ' in the most emphatic terms'. 'Yet he is not a' man who delights in the bestowal of heavy penalties. But there ar crimes that call for penelties of gret severity Christian Advocate. - BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY 1 Safeguarded :-He shall give his I angels charge over thee, to keep thea in all thy ways. -Psalm 91J1, i
