AUen made some re marks to the grand jury at the re cent session - of Durham superior court which are , big with signifl cance. . - "One of the most fruitful sources of crime," declared hia honor, "is neglected childhood. A mistake that we are making Is in allowing the children of the commnnlty to devel op into criminals because we peg- let them and turn our attention too mucn .to the punishment ol crime that is already committed. V There is hardly a term of court held any where that .there are not a number of children up for committing some crime A . little investigation dis closes the fact that these children become criminals because of neglect I want you at this term of court to determine if there are orphans or neglected children in the county. If you Bhould find such neglected chil dren it is your duty to report the matter to the clerk of the court and homes will be found for them." Scientific, criminology has long ago .decided that the reformation of criminals, to obtain the best results must begin early. -V There will scarcely be a distent from Judge Allen's diagnosis as to the principal source of supply. The rearing of upright men and women is a matter which requires the most painstaking diligence and care, and if these be lacking, whether through the death of parents or their unfit ness it is the easiest and most nat ural thing in the, world for the neg lected boys and girls to drift into unsavory environments. From these f they get an entirely twisted outlook upon h'f e and its relationships. It is this outlook that makes them erimi nala and its correction is an abso lutely necessary perequisite "to any permanent reform. f Every year that passes , over the head of unfortunate youth serves to fix the enormous notions deeper hi hia brain and to make them harder of eradication. " - The various orphanages scattered over the State testify to the fact that we have not been entirely un mindful of these things, but Judge Allen's experience that , there is scarcely a court docket without its child defendants shows how much yet remains to be done. ' r v'-.' '!. The training schools which the State maintains in being and 'in prospect will stop the leak a little further down the stream. But the grand juries, if information - were furnished them, could strike at the very orign of the matter, and in thip we think consists the enormous im portance of Judge Allen's ' sugges tion. ', vv:,;:: :'.

' " . Pats aa lad te Their Hopes. , There has developed in many quar ters a fear that there was a loop hole in the legislation of the recent legislature that would allow places as objectionable as near beer saloons in the State in spite of the hear beer prohibition act in that section 61 of the revenue act provides a license tax of $10 for r'selling malt". It was insisted by some that sheriffs and other officials would be obliged to issue licenses for the sale of malt liquors under this act. However the question has been put up to the at torney general and he has ruled that section 61 applies only to dry malt under strict interpretation and not to liquid malts. This question has been raised recently in several sec tions of the State but the ruling of the attorney general puts an end to any nopesotne near Deer interests that section 61 might give them a 'toe-hold" for maintaining malt sa loons in the stead of near beer sa loons.

We have so . often urged North Carolina farmers to grow their own hay. that we confess immense char gin at the statement in the Star's Ox ford, correspondence yesterday to the effect that the farmers of Gran ville are purchasing hay grown as far away as Mexico.; . ' Our Oxford correspondent stated that $150 paid on one single car load of hay looks like big freight, but that is what the Oxford dealers are now paying on hay produced more than 1,500 miles away from the fine county of Granville! ; We have no doubt the entire lot of hay eould have been grown in , Granville at half the money paid for freight alone. . . , It is actually a shame that we do not produce all the hay consumed in North Carolina. There are no better bay lands anywhere in the world, and when we get to be hay raisers we will find that to be true. Speak ing about hay the Petersburg Index- Appeal said a few days ago: Hay is going to be hay next year, A wholesale dealer of this city pre dicts that it will sell at 140 a ton at least The crop is short The rains came to too late to save It. The dealer referred to urges fanners to sow german clover' and cow peas at once, otherwise their stock will suf fer next year. . In anticipation of the high prices which ' will prevail next year dealers' are buying all the hay offered them and will hold it un til the coming season. Farmers would do well to heed the advice of the Petersburg produce man." The North Carolina farmers were warned long ago to anticipate just what is stated by our estemed Pe tersburg contemporary. " Even now we can make up for lost time.. For tunately,-the season here is long and It will be good money for our farm ers to put in all the Fall forage crops they can, and even to save the na tive grass crop that may grow be tween now and the first of of Octo ber.

' ' If you have any members in your local Union who have not yet freed themselves from the galling yoke of the credit system encourage them to begin to plan to stay out of debt next year. The credit system of buy ing supplies on time Is the greatest curse of this age. While the credit system has been abandoned by most of the white farmers in some sec tions of the 8tate, it still exists in appallingly large proportions in some countries and it is reducing to serfdom those who have permitted themselves to be fettered with its chains. - The writer was in a town in the- eastern part Of the State the other day which had been built in five years. The principal owner of the town was then in Eu rope taking a vacation. x The "credit" farmers of that community were cotton farmers who grew cotton as principal crop be cause the time merchants wouldn't extend them ' credit unless they planted a "money crop." These time merchants were then selling their credit customers corn at $1.25 which Cost 85 cents per bushel If $1.00 per bushel was a fair cash price the credit price carried a 85 per cent cent rate of interest 'The note or account being due In about six months, 85 per cent for six months is equivalent to 70 per cent interest if calculated upon the an nual basis. ' ' . ? , 1 Every progressive citizen wants to see Southern towns build up. but who wants to see towns building at such cost as thisT A credit system of that kind sinnks men down into poverty and wretchedness deep- er and deeper every year and it makes a coward and a slave, and such condition necessarily stifles the ambition of his wife and children and it thereby makes . this part of the hiinian race -weaker with each succeeding generation. -Union Far mer.

' Mesas tew Prices, The census buseau reports cotton condition to be 82 and a record breaking crop is Indicated. If the aggregate . crop this pear should reach fourteen ; or fifteea million bales it will put practically all the cotton speculators on the bear side of the market andp rices will drop to level that will be disastrous to the fanners and to the business interests of the South. When it is known that a fourteen million bale crop will bring less money than a twelve million bale crop, ia there even a puny reason why farmers should want to plant for a f ourteen-milllon bale crop?

"Yes, that neighborhood has the best school in the county." - - When you hear this said about a community what a pleasing picture at once flashes through your mindl You not only see the pretty, painted, attractive school building, well kept grounds, but a joyous picture of the thrift and enterprise and progress of the entire community also suggests itself. You know that if the neigh borhood has the best school in the county, then it must be that about the best people live in it already and that more good people are com ing to it for a good school always attracts good citizens like a magnet You know that the fact that these people have had the- enterprise to get the best school in the county means, too, that they are wide-awake about everything that they live in good homes; that they have painted their houses; that they are using im proved implements and machinery; that they are getting better roads; that there is a wholesome social life and that the young people are happi er, and that in a hundred other ways the school and the spirit it represents have made their influence felt in brightening the lives of the people round-about. All these suggestions lead directly to another thought: Why shouldn't your neighborhood have the best school in the county, or at least one of the best? It would only take little determination and co-operation on the part of all the people in your community. . r- nrstoiaii, get your dictnet so enlarged or arranged as to provide proper support for a school. Then vote whatever local tax is necessary in Order to get. an adequate teach ing force and an adequate ' school term. This will cost money but so does seed cost money. Still one doesn't mind mind putting valuable seed corn into the ground when he knows that it is going to bring t good harvert in the fall The har vest of returns from the school-tax investments are just as sure. Next, you want to get a good teacher sure. Next, you want to get a good teacher and pay him or her enough keep him with the school - not merely for one term but as long as he can do good work. Finally, get these practical courses introducted Let the boys - learn the scientific principles that will have practical application in farm life.: Let the girls learn the principles of domes tic science. And let both boys and girls give a proper amount of time to the principles of sanitation and hygiene how to live right and how to Keep well. Let your school give adequate training along these three practical lines then ground the stud ent thoroughly in the Three R's, and if the parent have done their part, jrou need have no fear as to the sort of men and woman your community will turn out Progressive Farmer. Wolves la Sheep's ClotbJag. ; The Gastonia Gazette carries a dis gusting story last week about the unknown tongue people, wolves in sheep's clothing, who are out in an effort to deceive the very Elect itself who are holding forth in the suburbs of that city." If the story carried by the Gazette be true, (and we do not doubt its truthfulness) those engag ed m the beastly proceeding deserve to be either in the penitentiary or the insane asylum. It seems strange that in this age of education and Christianity that our people will be led away by such bosh. There are people throughout this land who never -attend service at their own church but who become perfectly crazed over the damnable doctrine of some human hyena who preaches some new wonderful doc trine. These preachers are interest ed, not in the salvation of souls, but in the gratification of fleshy lust and greed. , They are taking from our people their nara earned money and are giving in return insanity, family dissentions and debased moral char acters..,-.

The declaration of Chairman Un derwood and its endorsement by Mr, Kitchin, also a member of the Wars and Means Committittee,' has cut of the way a good deal of the tangle wood and the brush through which Democracy has been meandering during the past few years and allow it to emerge from the wilderness of Clevelandism on one hand and Bry anism on the other into the open of the rule of the people and the prin ciples for which Democracy stands.

The Department of Justice is plan ning immediate proscution of all trusts or monopolies which do not dissolve or take other steps to obey the Sherman Law as it has been in-1 -t t . i r. m va n I terpreteain tne standard uii, io - bacco and Powder Trust cases. At-1 torney uenerai wicKersnam is au thority for the statement that all such will be brought before the courts ss soon as proceedings can be instituted. And this is right. If the Depart ment of Justice will give the trusts a limited time to separate and form distinct and separate entities, just as they were before the amalgama tion, the matter could be easily han dled and with very little trouble. An expert accountant could take the property of the American To-1 bacco Company and figure out in a I few days what each stockholder was I entitled to. These stockholders would I then have to-be sub-divided into flrrouns and them o-miin diiatored around the factording according to I order to elect tneir officers to con-1 duct and maintain their factories as they were conducted before the or ganization of the trust. A receivership would only be ne cessary to work out these details where the stockholders eould not agree on values, make an equable di vision and straighten out the tangl for which they alone are responsi ble, due to selfish desire for riches and power.
