The Senate Finance Committee is
revising the Underwood tariff bill
for general consideration in the
Senate.
A man will raise cain with his
wife about being superstitious about
the number 13, but he will spend a
half hour looking undr the bureau
for the "good luck" copper cent
that he has lugged around for ten
years.
Says the Atlanta Journal: "Some
women act as if they have a corner
on religion." The probability is
they have, since most of the men
can't make any claims in that con
nection. Five hundred thousand dollars
has been raised by bond issues since
April for new school buildings in
North Carolina, according to a state
ment made by Dr. J. Y. Joyner,
state Superintendent of Public In
struction. Fifty-two verdicts in divorce cases
which were uncontested were ren
dered in the short space of 104 mirir
utes by Judge Henry C. Hammond
in the Superior Court at Augusta,
Ga., recently. This is an average
of one every two minutes. How is
this for untieing the "doubled cus
sed" knot ?
The Charlotte Observer says four
carloads of maple sugar have been
shipped from Wilmington, Vt.,
part to New York for candy and
part to North Carolina for tobacco.
Maple products for the needs of
this section are among the commo
dities which our fine mountains
ought to supply.
We are glad to know that the law
requiring drivers of vehicles and
automobiles to keep to the right
and give each half of the road will
be enforced. Many accidents will
probably be avoided in this way,
and it is a rule that every one
should observe without being re
quired to do so by law.
The News & Observer says; The
good roads campaign in North Car
olina has been given strength by
the legislative act for township
elections. By means of it any
township in North Carolina which
wants to build good roads can hold
an election for the issue of bonds
to pay for road building.
How much of thought, of love,
of self-denying patience on the part
of parents; of obedience, of filial
respect, and duty on the part of
children, should enter into the
structure of a home that sacred
entity not bounded by any four
walls, but living in the hearts of
those who share its blessings for all
time.
To judge from reports coming
from Washington the aspirants for
the office of Collector of Internal
Revenue will have to remain on the
anxious seat quite a white yet. The
President appears to be anxious to
get tariff legislation out of the way
before devoting a great deal of at
tion to the less urgent matter of
appointments,
A New York man has eye-teeth
an inch long. The probability is
that after cutting his eye-teeth he
kept right on hanging around New
York indulging in all sorts of ex
perience, If the average New York
er's eye-teeth were to grow in pro
portion to his experience it would
give him the appearance of -growing
ivory for tooth brush: 'handles, says
au an exchange. -
Don't be a star-gazer old mother
earth should have your undivided
attention as it is the best one you
will ever trod.
In all its history the South has
never had its advautages so signal
ized as at present. Fate seems to be
with the South. The South's climate,
the South's versatile production,
the South's great variety of soil,
the South's power of resources, the
South's richness in yielding the
world's chief raw materials, and
the South's permanently based pros
perity are enough to fix the world
advantages of the South, well says
the glittering Morning Star.
Eighty-five American teacher left
San Francisco recently to enter the
Phillipine teaching service. They
were elected from a large eligible
list, and nearly every State in the
Union was represented. They are
under a two-year contract, or on
probation to determine their quali
fications, although the average term
of service of American teachers in
the Phillippines is six years. There
are 700 positions occupied by Amer
ican teachers and nearly $3,500,000
is expended annually on the schools
in the Phillippines
An Every-Day Problem.
Men and women who will be
criminals 25 years hence are now
sweet-faced children. Think of this!
The man who somewhere will com
mit a crime that will astonish and
disgust his fellows is today a fine
boy with perhaps a lovable nature.
The girls will be walking around
15 or 20 years from now, repudia
ted and socially impossible, are now
full of love and kindness.
The man who in twenty or thirty
years will be a merciless business
tyrant is now perhaps a manly little
fellow, worthy of the attentions of a
gentle and kind-hearted mother.
Among such as these are the
wrong doers of the future, the criminals-to-be.
They will be objects
of the sheriff and policeman's hunt.
What is to be done? Evidently
the character of the young must be
formed. The youth must be train
ed in kindness, usefulness and wis
dom. The world must save its own
children.
Poverty, drink and drugs will al
ways continue to drag human be
ings down. Let us try to lessen
those evils. Why should we be too
selfish to save the children? Why
shirk from helping the unfortunate
where the needs exists? This is a
proper every-day problem for men
and women, for educators and the
statesmen.
