TODAY and TOMORROW (Hv Frank Parker StockbriH^rt' ) Gold . . . new valuations I In If ot' till thik gold that has born dug out of tin? earth since Columbus discovered America has vanished, no body knows whore*, according to the Director of the Mint, who haa been compiling statistics on the subject. A little more than a thousand million ounces has been mined in the whole world in 440 years, or about 2 1-4 million ounces a year. Only about half of the total is held by national treasuries and banks. A lot of it lies at the bottom of the sen. Probably a third of the vanished gold is h< ard-. ?'d aiming the treasures of some of the fabulously rich Indian pri.net s. Gold is worth more in dollars aow than it has been since IST.'I. The United States has passed Canada and become the second largest producer of gold, South Africa ranking i' rst. Yet with mow' gold available than ever in history, only France and three or four smaller Kuropcan countries remain on the gold standard of jmoney. , ( This is mv prediction. Every nation will be off tjold within a few months, ther there will be a general world wide readjustment of currency val ues on (| ih w gold basis and the next fftuieratiou will have forgotten that gold was ever cheap as $21 an ounce Machado . . . snd our banks A friend of mine who owns a big Sew York hotel told me the other day l hat General Maehado, the former President ot Cuba, had applied to him for rooms by the yi-a r fot him self and fan ilv; twenty people iu all. including servants. "My friend turned him down because his other guests would l'? el tiervt us, lest some Cuban bomb-tli rower might lake a notion It 'get" the General some' night. >?* A ... . Most Latin-American ex- presidents ?o to Paiis to live when they retire or iuv ?orc>d bid of office. Macltado's 'Hfcr^h-oessof, General Menoenl, has been liviii<* in this country for many vents ami has lately gone back t<. Cuba, where lie litis friends win would l'ke to see him back in tin Palace., Judging by the recent dis closures oP the nma/.in<: financial re lations between New York Hanks and Cuban presidents, the people of that unhappy island seem to me to hnv?? been mercilessly exploited for tin enrichment of their rulers and their banking alliea. Salaries . . Some Too Hi?h Out of all the fuss that bting made over the President's declaration that many corporation salaries are too high, it Beems to me that on? thought stands out. Pig business is not inn by ?w tiers, the stockholders, but by hired iien the managers and directors. Ifa.mll:ng other people's money, it is a natural for many of them to yield to the temp'ation to raise their own pay. v'hcu a company is making mil lions :i year, what is the differenc whether its president syt.' a l.nndred limits- ti or a million That is human reasMiing 1 !i.i\v come to flit' thut ?I is j.-i un.'uM for a corporation head ly fi at her his own nest as it is for a lunik"!1 get rich. ttoth nrr trustees of ?>l'i r people's money ^ What that money cams docs not to them hut to tlic stockholders or depositors Management is entitled to fair pay, |>rcj)ortionnl to ability, hut it is not ??lit it led to enrich itself, at the ex pense of others. Chestnuts , . . Rare and Costly Along1 the roadsides of Yew E?g liind this Full one sees hoys and. girls displaying signs: "Native Chestnuts." Many motorists step to buy thtoe de licious nuts, which have been almost unset table for years. About thirty years ago the chest nut blight, brought from Japan, at tacked the trees in the East until j there was hardly a living chestnut j tree left east of the Hudson River. I cut down the last two chestnut t'oes on my farm several years airo. Shoots rising from the- old s'lnips, however, have now begun to develop mi to trees which soem to be able 10 resist the blight which killed their parents, and some of these hew chestnut trees are bearing their fnrt this year for the first time. The roadside peddlers charge 7;"c a pint for their wares, including j worms- That is a high price, but mauy seem to be willing to pay. i ? North Carolina Votes Dry By Overwhelming Majority I Jackson Dry By 1800 Majority Jackson county registered a ma jority against repeal of the 18th Amemlmen; of approximately 1800, on the basis ot' unofficial returns from 16 of the county's 19 voting precincts. Cashier's Valley and Balsam an the only two townships that have re ported majorities for repeal Sylva township gave an anti-ivpea. majority of 348. South Sylva's ma jority against rei>eal was 207 ; while that in the North ward was 141 Add io and Gmvn's Creek top tin list, with their majorities. At Addit 5 vot.es wore cast for repeal, and 95 against. Green's Creek cast v Mr. W. C. Beed. The meeting was opened by a dram atization "Belling the Cat'', by pu pils fix>m Miss Ollie Jones' room. Mrs. Joe Deitx, chairman of the Welfare Committee, announced that twenty-five Children have been fed daily at the cafeteria; and that one child had been exmined by Dr. Ife Craeken, nnc' fitted with glasses, the doctor making no charge for the ex amination. The association voted to s)?onsoi a sewing room, at which materials for clothing will be mde up; and a plea was .sent out for old coats to be remade for needy children. Mrs. J. II. Wilson, vice chairman of the grade mothers, reported that clothing has been provided "for a number of needy children, the chil dren of one frrade weighed and meas ured, that lumber is on hand for building n coat -rack in Mrs. Freezes room. Mrs. D. M. Hall reported that curtains have been provided at the high school, that book shelves are badly needed in one room, and asked for donations of magazines for the j school. Only 14 Counties Vote I4 or Repeal North Carolina, by a smashing ma jority, H i used, ou i ucsduy to btcoiue one of the States iu the hitherto unbroken ranks oi the ltcpeal Parade. The Anti-repealists were riding high, wide, and handsome in North Carolina, on Tuesday. They swej# the State from the top ol the Smok ies to the Atlantie Ueean, carrying majorities in b(i ol the 100 counueb ol tiie Stat!4. Strange things happened to upset forecasters' prognostications. ? Of the counties containing really big towns, the lvpealisls had admitted that ouly Durham was in doubt. The results showed every one of the big town counties in the anti-repeal col umn, except Durham and New Dan over. Mecklenburg, Forsyth, Guil ford, Wake and Buncouibo entered the anti-repeal column early iu the tabulation, and each precinct report ing showed the majorities against repeal increasing. Of the 19 Southwestern mountain counties, every one showed large ma jorities against repeal. Back in the early summer, when it looked iis il' the State would cer tainly be found as predominantly against repeal, the Chaioltte Obser ver, casting over the list of the cen tral commit ice of the United Dry Forces of North Carolina, made the remark, that il' that list o? men and women really . meant business, that the State would probably vote against repeal in November. It is now evi dent that they meant business. The anti-repealists have been waging an intensive campaign in every county, making their canvass from house to house, and they had the voters lined I up and ready to vote. It is apparent J now that the election was in the bag weeks ago. The majority against repeal in the State will pass the 150,000 mark, when the returns from all precincts are tabulated. I South Carolina, by a narrow mar gin voted against repeal, the vote in the rural counties being sufficient to overcome the heavy repeal vote in Charleston and other cities. Pennsylvania and Ohio voted for repeal, and Utah, by a narrow mar gin also joined the repeal parade, making the 3(jth State to ratify the 21st Amendment, and marking the end of National prohibition. Ken tucky's vote isn't counted until the day after the election, but it is be lieved that the returns will show that State in the repeal column, giving the rvpealists one more State than is necessary to effect the removal of prohibition from the federal con futation.
