TEXTILE TRAINS FROM SOUTH. . The textile industry in this section of the country lias grown to such propor tions ihgt the Southern Railway an nounces that in the future three special textile trains, to be loaded, solidly with the products nf C ( art>lina mills will be op erated daily. All cotton factory products for points outside tlie south will be handled in these trains which will run on fast schedules and be given the same atten tion as has been given to the special trains handling peaches and other perish able. Trains will be run from Green ville, S. 0.. to l’otomac Yards, Ya„ handling the textile freight moving all-rail to eastern destinations; from Greenville to Pinners Point. Va.. handling freight moving via boat lines to Balti more, Philadelphia. New York. Boston 1 and providence; and from Spencer. N. to Cincinnati, Louisville and east St. Louis with a connecting train from Hayne, S. 0.. to Asheville, handling freight for the west including 23 daily package cars for destinations on and be- 1 yond the Ohio river. Solid cars loaded by the mills as well as package cars loaded at the Southern’s assembling stations at Spencer. N. C., and Hayne, S. C., will be handled on these trains. No short-haul freight will be handled on them and there will be no switches at intermediate terminals. The establishment of this new service by the Southern illustrates very strik ingly the growth of the industry in the South. The industry is become more varied, also, and products from the mills of the Carolina* are being sent to so many different points throughout the United States that the Southern felt the need for the additional trains. CAMPAIGN AGAINST TYPHOID FEVER AND DIPHTHERIA. Although the county-wide campaign against typhoid fever and diphtheria has been concluded by officials of the county health department, the general campaign in the county is not over by any means. The typhoid serum and the diphtheria anti-toxin are still given in the offices of the health department, and anyone wishing to get them ean do so by call ing at the offices. Within the past ten days about 13 new cases of typhoid fever have been reported in the county, and it is interesting to note that none of the patients, according to health department records, have, ever been inoculated. And so far as known now. no . person who has been inoculated is suffering with the disease. That seems to be evidence enough of the merits of the treatment. The serums are given free of charge, and can be secured each Wednesday after noon and each Saturday. AGITATION AS TO REMOVAL OF • LENOIR COLLEGE. A question of whether or not Lenbir College will be transferred from Hick ory to Gastonia is causing much agita tion now. People of Hickory are oppos ed to the move, of course, as the college is a line thing for HnJsbry. At the same time the people of Gastonia are putting up a determined fight for the school, and they have the support of Daniel H. Rhyne, one of the school's most ardent supporters. Proponents of the plan to move the school charge that the people of Hickory have never given the institu tion the support it deserves, while the peoeple of <yerv vigorously deny these! chargee. THe question will have to be settled later by the Lutherans of this and ottyjf States, »nd the’question is one that' deserves much thotght anA consid eration. bM mile*, U*rea<-heMbe "'"ivvU ' : ' TOY TO INDUCE COOLIDGE TO DROP WORLD COURT IDEA ! Republican Chairman Talked With the President Monday.—Lodge Also to See Him. I Washington, ug. 6.—The Republican: | politicians are today bringing pressure 1 to bear on President Coolidge to induce ; hipi to drop President Harditig's world court proposal and not mention it jn his message to Congress in December. Chairman J. T, Adams, of the Repub lican national committee, was with the President this morniug trying to con vince him that the only way to avoid party dissension was to drop advocacy of the court. Mr. Adams, it will be re-; called, differed with President Harding and issued a statement attacking thet court. Sens tor Brandegee, of Connecticut, an other court opponent, was with the new President for an hour and a half yes terday and he is supposed to have argued the same to the President as Mr. Adams today. Mr. Brandegee was sent for by Mr. Coolidge himself. Senator Lodge, who is also antagonis tic to the court and who is' .credited with having led Mr. Harding in his St. Louis speech, is also returning to AVask ington and is to join the others in op posing the court. No one knows Mr. Coolidge’s present position on this issue. During the campaign of 1!)20 he was rather more pro-league than was Mr. Harding. President Coolidge is proceeding quiet ly and without osfentatibn to take hold of the administrative tasks of his new position. No statements to the press come out of his temporary quarters in the New # A\'illard hotel. And what is most unusual there is no one “who has just talked with the President” who ean tell you just what he has in mind. He is keeping his own counsel. But those who know his habits are aware that he is working prodigiously to get a com plete grasp of the situation and to es tablish his own point of view. DESPONDENT MOTHER TAKES POISON AM) DIES Was I liable to Take Care of Her Six Children Since the Death (rs-v Their Father. * ;<■ ,» Anderson, S. C., Aug. 3.—Air*.

The 1023 road construction season is expected to add many hundreds of miles to the country’s system of improved highways. Figures compiled by the Bureau of Good Roads of the Department og Agriculture front 21 scattered states show they will have available .$288,000,000 for this purpose, compared to $273,000,000 spent by them last year. On federal-aid work, which constitutes something like one-half the total mileage, there was under construc tion March 31 work estimated to cost $238,000,000 as compared with $233,000.- 000 on the same date a year ago. The general outlook is regarded as considerably better than a year ago. when the. railroad and coal strikes were dis turbing factors. The designation of fed eral-aid highways is now completed in 33 states, and is almost complete in the others. Thirty states now tax gasoline, as compared with only four at the be ginning of 11)21, and most of this reve nue goes for road purposes. Modest Prayer.

Washington, Aug. (!.—The pomp of i| European courts has not deemtsed no il ticeably since the war, according to re ports of American diplomats to the State I department. American ambassadors are ; continuing their complaints of inade quate salaries to meet the heavy drain of social entertainment, and arc citing post war troubles of entertaining royalty at functions which equal or ..surpass the gilded affairs of pre-war days in Europe. For instance, the state dinner given recently by George Harvey, American Ambassador to the Court of St. James, to the British Royal family set back the American envoy something over SB.- IHH)—for one dinner and trimmings. In fact, the trimmings constituted a large part of the bill, which contained an item of $730 aloue for palms and ferns given standing room in the fireplaces of the American embassy for the occasion. Tradesmen holding the royal favor have to be reckoned with in the enter tainment provided by 'American diplo ma ts. The caterers are virtually chos en for the American entertained by the lord chamberlain of the royal palace, no unknown or plebeian chefs being per mitted to fook for or serve the king or queen. Decorators, florists and a train >f other tradesmen having the royal ap proval also must be selected by the Am erican host and their word, as well as their bills, go a long way in directing the function. Entertainment occasionally of the rulers of the nations to which they arc accredited is an inescapable duty of Am erican diplomats, who arc provided with to entertainment fund to cover the cost >f food and service. A few are wealthy enough to bear extraordinary expenses for social entertainment, but the poor er ones say that the war has not toned down tile 'class" of the required social duties. The higher standing abroad of the Am erican dollar has helped some in bearing tile expense, hut in many cases- local tradesmen add to their bills, in the cas es of the "rich American”' diplomats, more than sufficient to meet the differ ence in the rate of exchange.

North Carolina Wool Growers Should Put Their Product in Better Shape. Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 3.—ls North Carolina wool contained lens burrs and was put in better shape, fnrmers would receive a better price for it, than they are now receiving, according to G. P. Williams, sheep field agent for the State College and Department of Agricluture. Mr. Williams has just returned to the college after spending several, weeks in the field aiding farmers and county ag ents to hold their wool pools. He said he found that the average prices offered were uot so good due largely to the in ferior way in which the fleeces had been handled. "It is much .better off in these Tpiali-, ties than the wool received from States farther south.” said Mr. Williams. in discussing North Carolina grown wool. "Our wool has a satisfactory oil content and a strong fiber. If North Carolina farmers will put their clear wool in standard fleeces and then pack it in standard bags, the product will pass muster on the fleece wool markets and will then attract many bidders who will not look at it now. The wool that is prepared to meet the buyers’ approval and which can be sent by him to the high class mills is the wool that will al ways move the easiest.” Air. Williams said he found much wool that had been ‘'crammed loosely into all kiuds of old bags and tin- buyers would uot look witli favor on such stuff.” Its very appearance, said Mr. Williams, was a serious handicap in moving it at a profit to !he farmer. * Heavy burry wool is extremely hard to move." he continued,-because most of tiie mills demand clear siaple. Cutting down our present heavy proportion of heavy hurry wools and marketing the fleeces in the well recognized way will remove inraeficnlly all the wool market ing troubles that confront the North Car olina sheep grower at present.” Big Demand for Silver May Result in Shortage. -A New A'ork, Aug. 41.—The use of silver in the motion picture industry arid ama teur photography, and the great demand for silver jewelry, are responsible for a growing demand of such huge propor tions that Robert Linton. President of the North Butte Alining Company, qire dicts a shortage of the metal in the fu ture. In a statement on the subject Mr. Lin ton declares that 3,000,0(10 ounces of sil ver are used in photography each year. This is the largest single factor in the increased demand in the United States. The Orientals take great quantities of silver for adornmCnttCahe white metal being favored by them for use in jew elry. China acts as a crafty trader in silver, buying up immense supplies of it on a low market and holding them un til the price soars again. Air. Linton says. In the face of this increased demand comes the intelligence that the world’s production is declining. The rich silver mines are nearly exhausted, and no new ones have been struck. Silver is now, Air. Linton declares, chiefly a by-prod uct of copper and lead, mining, and the larger copper and lend mines are produc ing less silver. WT~ The Staff ol£ Life.

Naples, Texas.—“l have used Thed ford’s Black-Draught for years—l can safely say for more than 30 years,” de clares Mr. H. H. Cromer, a substantial, well-known farmer, residing out from here on Route 3. ”1 am 43 years old, and when a small boy 1 had indigestion and was puny and my folks gave me a liver regulator. Then Black-Draught was advertised and we heard of it. "I began to taice Black-Draught, and have used it, when needed, ever since. 1 use Black-Draught now in my home, and certainly recommend it for any liver trouble. ■> ”1 have given it a thorough trial, and after thirty years can say Black-Draught is ray stand-by. it has saved me many sickspells.” . ' Mr. Cromer writes that he is ‘‘nevei out of Black-Draught,” and says several of his neighbors prefer it to any othei liver medicine. ”1 always recommend Black-Draught to my friends,” he adds. This valuable, old, powdered liver medicine is prepared from medicinal roots and herbs, and has none of the bad effects so often observed from the use o) calomel, or other powerful mineral drugs.

Richard Brindsley Sher idan,- author of “The School for Scan day" and “The Rivals.” came, without question, from his mother. Os that brilliant woman the poet Moore said: “She was one of those rare women who, united to men of more pre tentious but less real intellect than themselves, meekly conceal this ity even from their own hearts.” Thomas Sheridan, the father, was an actor, and like many actors he prided himself on what he did. There was lit tle, however, to serve ns a substantial basis for this pride. Everyone knew that the mother was the greater of the two. If there was but one thing that she liked to do it was to write plays.’ Is not that a startling fact when we consider the great success of her famous son in carrying on the work in which she herself delighted most? She was al so a writer of books. Her book called "The Alemoirs of Mrs. Sidney Diddulph" was a successful book. In play-writing, in the making of plots, in the observation of character, the mother showed the way to her son. Dr. l*arr saiil of her: “She is celeetial!” By that he meant that she was a woman out of a thousand.—quite out of the or dinary. She certainly did not flatter her children, for she wrote: “I have hitherto been their only instructor* * Two such impenetrable dunces I never met with!” And that with reference to the brightest, most soiritilating wit of the eighteenth century.' She was a kindly woman for ' all her caustic comments, and put herself to a great deni of trouble to train her century. She was a kindly woman for no forwardness, but subordinated herself to her husband and her home duties. In her son came the full development of the genius that she herself, under other cir cumstances, might have shown. , /* Mayview lake Drains When the Dam Blows Out. Lenoir, Aug. (i.—The dam at Alay view Lake, located in Mayview park. Blowing Rock, bffrstcd late Thursday evening and completely drained the lake. No damage was done. The break in the dam was caused by erawfish. It seems that the terracotta tile had been used instead of iron tile in'some of the drainage system. It is believed that the crawfish worked throug from the tiling and started water seeping throitgh. - Alayview lake covers only a few acres and there was no farm land for a num ber of miles below. By the time the water had reached the Globe it had spread out so that there was no damage done io the people of that section. Work has already started on rebuild ing and Air.
