It was the writers rare good for tune to be present at a double sur prise birthday dinner given by the children and other relatives and friends to Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Waller, on their sixty-seventh and seventy-second, birthday rescepti vely, and believe me it was some surprised wheu their children, grand children and their host of many friends suddenly burst upon them, in their quit home on Sunday May, 7th, shortly after 1 1 :3c the crowd ,be-gan to arrive, in automobile?. and buggies and all manner of con vyancis and in a. very few minutes there after like train veterns some of the young men in the crowd rained a plank pile near by some carrying plank and otners driving stakes on a beautiful lawn over looking a grand old Yadkin river that flows majestly by the home of Mr. and Mrs. Waller. And in a few minutes pasto change, there was a table some forty odd feet in length looked down with a most bountiful and appetising array of good things to eat, spread out by their children and good ladies of the crowd which after thanks had been offered to the most high for the many good things spread before them. A crowd of more than one hundred of people attacked, and did terrible excution to take vast pile of cake, pie of every description, cream strawberries, roast lamb and many other good things, such as the good house wives knew how to prepare so well and every one seemed to have enjoyed themselves to the utmost. Dinner over, the young people went for a stroll about the beautiful well kept farm while the older people sat about in groups -chatting plea santly while our genial and much liked deputy sheriff Chal Miller sat dosing in the shades of a large mul berry tree to full for utterance. Late in the evening the crowd be gan dipersing in the direction of their several homes. Wishing the venerable couple many, many hap py returns of the 7th; of May. cf this happy occasion. Let Her Gome. A Pennsylvania weather prophet says that the summer of 1922 will be the coldest since 1879. Begin ning April 15th, and continuing un til the last of August we will have cold winds, sleet, "rain and snow. Let 'er come. We can stand al most anything. We have been op pressed with politicians, office seek ers, tin Lizzies, a world wide war, a carnival of crime. S years of a Democratic administration, abnor mal tax valuation, high taxes and and about everything else imagin able. If other people can stand the cold summer we hope to pull up in the rear Ja close second. And an Almonce county man bobs up and says we are to have a drier summer than last; that the -dirt daubers are building close to the ground this year. ; . . "Let the wild world wag as it will We'll be gay and happy still.". Exchange. . Doping Out the Weather. If the summer of 192i is abnormal ly hot, no one will be more surprised than the scientific weather observers A Pennsylvania hunter and trapper is predicting that this summer will be the coldest since 1870 when, "the corn ears were froz-n on the stales " Vleterologists will not scoff at th s Yankee oracle A summer not too hot is not unlikely, for the reason that in 1921 there was and accumu lated excess of over a thousand de grees,-and even since January the 1st the temperature has been higher than normal. As a mattea of fact, the "accumulated excess" has con tinued for almost 20 months. What goes up must comedown. It is time for the pendulum to swing the other way for a season or two. Hp re s hoping our Richmand county crops will not be hurt in the swing. Kock ingham Pott-Dispatch.

It is custom that sets the standards of conven tion. A marriage at a bathing pool the bride and groom wearing-the. scanty attire of bathing suits ccpd. be a mating of souls who would be. happy ever after the same as if: the: vows were taken in churclvlK1 the paraphernalia of the society wedding. But the bathing pool marriage, while not really wrong itself, was put on for the novelty, as a freak performance, which has become all too common in taking marriage vows. Therefore the charge of "conduct unbecoming a miu'ster" seems to fit in the case mentioned.. The parson has a re primand coming to him. The mar riage vows too often sit lightly when taken under approveti condi tious. and it is unbecoming a minis ter of the gospel to lend himself to ceremonies that partake of the na ture of vaudeville performances and tend to make a mock of a very se rious and solemn ceremony. Sates ville Dailv 40 pounds of Butter in 7 Days. Delavan, 1 Wis., May 8. -Forty pounds of butter in seven days is the production record just announ- ced foi a California cow by Mai colm H. Gardner, superintendent of testing for the Holstein-Friesian As- sociation of America. The cow is Miss Aggie Ormisby Segis, a regir tered Holsteiu owned by Fred Hart sooki Lankershin Cal.

The Pace That Kills. The other day the sun shone out, A-he roads dried off. the highway! scrapers got busy, and soon the ?ords that had been dammed up for ten weeks began racing throught Oanbury like bats. Striking the: rade that slopes from the court louse to the bridge, many a mutton-' head, perhaps incensed with sugar h al. stepped on the gas, and the cir made from 25 to 40 miles down h street. Sooner or later a trag edy will occur at the cuve that swings around the Presbyterian hurch to the bridge. Some cars coming in will meet one coming out A collision is bound to result if iither is traveling at high speed, j It is dangerous for children, old persons, or anyone not alert to dang er to be on the street most anytime. especially when sudden good roads following a bad spell. of weather has tenped an irruption of the barba rians. Notwithstanding the law on th statute books which makes driv ing faster than 15 miles an hour a misdemeanor, with utter contemp ot tin law, 30 or 40 miles an hour is common.- A grandjuryman could fiid a rich field for violations by spending a few hours here most any Saturday or Sunday. Statistics show that automobiles are killing more people than war. but this alarming fact does not deter the ignorant or victious speeders, who seem to think cars Were made to get over the ground as fast as gas can arive tnem. ana wno ao noc taKei . ... I tne danger tactor into consideration They sem to be obsessed with the idea that fast driving indicates brav ery orsmartnPS3. They totally over look the fact that any fool can push down a. gas le t r. but it. ta'ces a wL e man to driveit a moderate speed. About Ordering Pistols. Solicitor K.. L. Huffman, of the Sixteenth Judicial District, frwestl e fodt wing law regarding the purchase of pistols in person or b.' ordering them through the rmil. A good many may think they can dodge the State permit by ordering from some mail order house, but such is not the case. Mv attention has been called to the fact that a great many people are ordering pistols through the U S mails and by express, and are re cieving them in violation of the laws of the State. Attention is di rected to Chapter 197, Public Laws of 1919. ' Section 1 That it shall be un lawful for any person, firm or cor poratiun.in this State to sell, give ! away or dispose of, or to purchase tor RE .EiVE at any place within the State from any other place within ; or without the State, without a li j cense or permit therefore shall have first been obtained by such purchas er or receive from the clerk of the Superior Court of the county in which such purchase, sale, or transfer is in- .

' Under this statute I don't think anv postmaster, or agent of any com mon carrier, is authorized to deliver to' any address or consignee, any of of the afore mentioned weapons, un less and until the purchaser or re ceiver of such weapon exhibts to. a bona fide license or permit from the Superior Court of his county.

When Judge Connor, in his charge o the grand jury, made the state nent that the attitude of many peo te with respct to the prohibition aw was ihat it was made for others ut not for them, he characterized he popular conception of the law in dl parts of the- country. "Certainly the prohibition law is a rood law, and I hope it will bestrict v enforced."" sas the prosperous nerchant in New York, Georgia and orth Carolina. And that same venig the merchant probably will nteftain a number of friends witn ;ome of his private stock that he nought from a bootlegger a few days before. We do not believe we exaggerate vhen we make the statement that lalf the men who are engagtd in jrohibition enforcement will take a irink when it is offered them. "Get the other fellow but get all the borze yon can for yourself," J.eems to be the prevailing opionion. As long as people persists in taking this view of prohibition it is a self ivide::t jjfoct that very little prog ress can be made in enforcing it. s a matter of fac you cannot en force a law that does not have the cent ral approval and endorsement of the people behind it. Thus for prohibition has failed to , irouse this approval. And that is the reason why there are a steadily increasing number of violationst a rainst the law. There were thousands of law-biding citizens in the country who had large supplies of liquor on hand when the prohibition laws went into tffect. Ve have yet to hear of a single one Itstroy his supply because he felt he was breaking the law by holding oh to it New Bern Sun-Journal. In a small western town the whole population became ill and the only doctor in the village was serving a sentence in jail on a charge of drunkness. The village officials who placed the physcian in the lock-up were the first 1 ones to sign a petition to the governor lsking that he be pardoned.
