RIGHTEOUSNESS PAYS Better is a little with righteousness, titan ‘great revenues without right.—Proverbs 16':$. RUMORS TO BE EXPECTED. it is otily natural that rumors of Bax ter JJtjirhftm's. resignation should be Started throughout the State. As State Auditor Air. Durham has had his books and accounts athlifeVT recently by t(ie act of the last General Assembly; hind as is the raise in most instances, when an in vestigation of his department got under-, way rumors of his resignation started the rounds. Let any department under go an investigation and immediately there are rumors that its head will re sign. Mr. Durham has been in a hospital recently, and this fact has been used as :iu excuse for his resignation, while the publie generally feels that the rumors were started because some one thought, or wanted to make people think they thought something was wrong in Air. Durham's office. The Auditor in a re cent statement made emphatic denial of resignation rumors, and stated that he expects to keep on the job. From hints the auditors who who ex ainined the State's finances made, there will be no reason for any one to .feel alarm. It is reported from Raleigh that one of the auditors told State Treasurer Lacy that their report “probably would please him better than one he could make : himself." That certainly indicates that ; eyerything is o. k. with the fiutfnces of North Carolina. SHOULD THINK OF OTHERS. City officials are trying now to impress upon merchants anti heads of other bus iness houses in this city the need and importance of keeping the sidewalks clean in front of their places of busi ness. But at the same time they want the clean condition to exist with as lit tle inconvenience as possible to the pub lic. The sidewalks are swept all right, it is pointed out, but little care and judgment is used. The complaint seems to have foundation. Persons walking down the business sections early in the mornings or about 1(1 o'clock on Satur day nights are forced to walk through dust created by the sweepers. No ef fort has been made to keep the dust down, and under the plan followed in the past, the person who passes the area being swept was certain to get the dust and dirt on his person and clothes. It would require but little effort and time for the sidewalks to be sprinkled or treated with some dustdown prepara tion before the sweeping is started. The expense would be (mall too. .Such a method would not only result in clean sidewalks, but it would result, in less dirt and (lust and a cleaner town. Busi ness men should think of other people when having their sidewalks- cleaned. Southern railway officials some time ago notified officials of Concord that they were going to repair all their grade crossings in the city. We do not know whether or not they have pretended to keep this practise, but we do know they tarve not done it. The crossing at the | passenger station is in bad shape, and the right-of -way just southwest of the tracks is in miserable shape. There are huge boles frtmi one side of the road to the other and such holes are dangerous in their location, just at the approach to the tracks. It would not take much time or money for this road to be fixed, la fact it. would npt ; take much time or Money to! get a(I of the'crjtssiugs in good Effcape. and a good crossing is safer than ~4 rough one. „ 1 ■■ ■ jm.’J Hlg Han't forget to save some of that pteat' grain for seed.

CLOSING OF THE PEOPLES 1 NATIONAL BANK AT SALISBURY Due to the Wihtdrawal of Deposits on Account of Receivership of Mecklen burg .Mills. Special to Greensbsee»Xews. Salisbury. June 8. —The Ih-oples Na tional Bank, oue of the largest in the city failed to open it* doors this morn ing, and the Farmers and Alerchants Bank, of Granite Quarry, four miles east of Salisbury, closed its doors at 2:30 this afternoon. Both closings were voluntary on the part of officers on, the banks and the reasons given were identical, to wit, the receivership of the Aleckleuburg Alill's Company and withdrawal of ideposits as a direct re sult of the receivership ease. When askisl this afternoon for a statement as the Peoples Bank president .1. K. Dough ton. proferred a copy of the typewritten statement that bail been* posted on til" bank door earlier in the day. This was all that the president had to give out and it covers the case well. The statement is signed by Air. Dongh ton. as president, and A. L. Smoot, as cashier. It reads: “The directors of the l'eop'es Nation al Bank have concluded, after a thorough consideration of its affairs and the sur rounding conditions, to close its doors and suspend its ordinary routine of busi ness until its responsibility to its ..de positors can be further strengthened. “This situation litPs arisen as a re suit of the receivership of the Aleekleu burg Mills Company, followed during the past week by large and'-continued' withdrawals of funds by depositors, ami this action is being taken solely for the purpose of safe guarding all depositors, whose interests we desire to proteiM “Immediately upon ascertaining tin condition of the affairs of the Aleekleu burg Mills the officers of the bank, by wire, requested the presence of a bank examiner in order more fully to assures the preservation of the interests of all parties. Mr. AY. P. Fogler. national bank examiner, has been in Salisbury for several days ami has been kept frank ly and eolsel.v iu touch with {hi- situa tion. The action taken in suspending the operations of the bank has his ap proval. "A committee from each of the othet Salisbury baßks is today going over the assets of this bank With a view of co operative undertaking wltriebjr they may promptly guarantee or pay the /deposit.- of this iiistitniion. . YY> are of the opin' ion that it is possible for such an ar rangement to be worked Mint and the op ; (■rations of this bank independently or through one or more institutions, resume within a short time." Air. Fogler had no statement other that that the decision to close came front tin local officers of the hank and had his’ap proval. AA'hile Air. Houghton would not discuss the plans or prospects it is understood that there is a movement, looking to the saving of the depositors money to them and that announcement of this plan may be made in a feu days. Mr. Houghton, who is a son of K A. Houghton, state revenue commissioner, anti was formerly a bank examiner, took the presidency of the Peoples Bank a year and a half ago and Air. Smoot has been cashier a little longer than that.

Prohibition Director Canfield de clared today in a letter to Mayor Hylan. thanking him for his promise of eo nperation from local polfee. "There are 25.000 peace officers in [ New Y'ork state." Air.

One Os the .most Influential mothers in all history was the celebrated Blanche of Castile, mother of Bt. Louis of France. She had such an effect over her son that, she' made him a king, a royal .cru sader. a martyr, and finally a saint. She wnx a woman of almost boundless 1 and resourcefulness—one of the women in history, as well as one of the most interesting. As is so often the easei with people of genius, she owned her natured to a combination of the blood of different nations. Through her father she was pure CastHlian: through her mother she was English. She combined all the romance and hap py spirit of the Imtin race, with the energy and power of the Anglo-Saxon. On both sides she traced her descent from kings. , She ‘herself came from Spain to be come the wife of King Louis Y'lll of France. It is probable that she was •the greatest person in all Prance. She feared no man and no combination of men. In many respects she was like the great Elizabeth of England. When her royal husband died in 1226. she \yas entirely fitted to carry ou the very grave responsibilities of rule. There were re sponsibilities enough to make a Napo leon tremble. Foreign enemies' threat ened to gain power. Blaneh of Castile resisted them all alike, and met every emergency. She moved soldiers about as she moved men on n chessboard. In the meanwhile she took care of a large family of children, in spite of maids and servants galore, giving to her children a mother’s love. To Louis, named for liis father. Vhe gave untiring devotion. The eliild was only twelve when the father died—and Blanche of Castile bent herself to training him to be n king. She fought for his throne: maintained him as a king, ruled in his absence on crusades, tind was in general, far more to him than most mothers are to their children. YY'heti Louis was made a saint it would not have been a bad idea to speak highly of that devoted mother who trained him so carefully, in the way lie should go. Mothev-love lias made more than one saint. Next: The mother of George Murray. Why Be a Sucker? The newspapers have recently been tilled with numberless accounts of stock swindling operations. The old saying that n sucker is born every minute seems to he more than borne out. The average man knows nothing about investments and too often seems adverse to securing advice. If the fminformed citizen before giv ing up his hard-earned money for a scheme about which he realiy knows nothing wfiuld conshlt a bond house or banker and learn the actual facts in the .ease, the fake stock seller would soon disappear.
