' a The Mim roc doctrine is 100 years old, and the only trouble with :i is the same malady that attacks all hide bound doctrines- its worshipers will not agree that it is capable of expanding to meet changing conditions in a changing world. mmmmm "What education in North Carolina needs is a few more teachers and u few less time-servers" ? Miss Eliza beth Kelly. M iss Kelly appeal's to be a lady whto is quite fond of speaking truth on subjects that arc usually ap proached with gum-shoe. s According to the United States Bureau of Census there are 3<i.6 marriages to one divorce in .Tackson county. No information is given as to which one is (igured as .6 of a marriage. i _ ? We will be perfectly satisfied if the tourists who visit Cashiers Valley will take their sjwrt on the golf course, and leave the trout for the Journal's paragrapher. In other words, if they will leave our fish alone, we'll enter a gentleman's agreement not to bother their golt. We see by the papei's where there were four safe rob beries in Gotham in one day; but so far as we have been able to understand the situation they arc. nearly all rea sonably safe robberies. ? \ T1IE BEST ONE YET " , 1 V / Many complimentary things arc being said about North Carolina And Tar Heels, these days; but the best tWJng that has yet been said about us i? contained inJ this little paragraph from the Manufacturers' Record, in summing up what has made North Carolina forge ahead so rapidly: "It' North Carolina's population could be bodily transferred to any other state in the South and the population of that state could be lifted over and dropped into North Carolina so as to give the North Carolinians a full sweep, the same marvelous results would Be accomplished. The North Carolina people would turn a dese rt into a garden. They would dare to spend money for -education and for other things because they have learned by experience that the ex penditure of money l or material and educational progress is the wiiedt investment that a state can i make." ? ? ? -- TRAINING THEM AWAY FROM THE FARM The federal vocational board is authority for the stAtfe* ment that seventy- four per cent of the boys trained in agriculture stay on the farms, employing their knowledge in tilling the soil and in enrichihg ' the country life of America. On the other hand only 3.6 percent of the grad uates of rural high schools, of the ordinary type, remain in the country, but flock to the larger towns and cities. Obviously, then, the high schools are training the boys away from the farms, away f ro?at$* b*Q, away from the fullest life, away from the country, where eaeh man. is in the fullest sense a freeman, master of hia destiny and master of his Ik :ue, and are unconsciously inducing him to go to the cities, where most men, no matter what their position, wither laborer, clerk, or department head, are wagcslavcs c f differing grades and sorts. If the t.r I : nary training of high schools does this to boys and ^. v.uiltur?l training shows them, the fuller life in the emu . the?v the remedy for what ails us -is a somewhat r( ?..h.uo'u.uy change in the curriculum of the rural high school. XHE CASE OF MCBRAYER Much has been said about the ease of Dr. McBrayer, superintendent of the state saoitoriom for tubercular patients, Since the eonvietion of the doetor and the taxing of a fine of $50.00 against him, for violating the statute forbidding a public official from trading with himself. Wo have no idea Dr. McBrayer did or had any intention of I doing anything dishonest, and that was what the statute ' was intended to prevent; but there seems to be no doubt i that he was teohnieally guilty of viblating the law, when . he, as an individual, sold products of his faj*m to himself^ as superintendent of the sanitorium, and he should have ?been more oareful. Governor Morrison is quite right in | demanding his dismissal, following* his conviction. He would have been remiss in his duty had he done other wise. > ' As a matter of fact, however, the same statute is prob ably violated every day by officials of counties, munici palities, and state institutions, with no intention to do any thing wrong, and it is regrettable that so valuable a public servant as Dr. McBrayer, and one who has done so much for humanity and the state, should be the one thp fates, or his enemies, should have singled out to make the goat, when less valuable men get away with exactly i ? buying commodities for the pubKe . ?r e n . { . . \ " , 1 * ?

She j^aka fifth ia the satire Uaioa ia tha amount of federal taxes paidf this year, and by that measure is far and away first among Southern states. How far she leads is indicated by the statement that she paid in federal taxea more than Georgia, Flori da, Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginia rolled into one. fWe have termed the state little old North Carolina. She ranks twenty-seventh among the federation and is among the laiger Southern states, but a very considerable part is so mountainous that the actual available surface is be low the average and it is intensive use alone that has given the commonwealth its present standing. It is of course the working up into fabrics of one mil lion bales of cotton a year that has been the chief motive power behind the state's advancement ? that combined of course with the state's own cotton field output of two hundre'd million dollars \ worth of staple. But due credit also should be given to a $75,000,000 crop of tobacco and to the fact that the state stands fourth in the pro duction of twenty-two principal crops and fifth in the production of all crops in the Union. There's versatility for you. And here's another and very important point. North Carolina has been living up to her new advantages by applying the tax fruits of her wealth to the state 's gen eral development. A commonwealth once far down among the illiterates of our nation, she is expending splendid sums for educational institutions of all kinds and, awake to the new need, has spent $137,000,000 for a good roads system that promises to be one of the most complete in the United States. Withal, however, finances of North Carolina have been so Well mananged that the tax burden bears more lightly on the people than in any other of the Southern states. And, as a final fact of interest North Carolina^ the Southern textiles state, pays more federal ineome tax than her Northern rival, Massachusetts and but little less than the rich state of Ohio. Little old North Car olina surely is coming into her own. i Exasperating COUGHS- < NOT only you ? but all those around you are annoyed by the constant hacking of a persist ent cough.
