Dear Folks: When shaking hands you re follow ing an old established greeting, that s : been for years the thing to do when folks and friends are meeting. There’rp many ways you* re* bound to find in which your hand is shaken, and there's a lot j that you can tell by how your hand is taken. Some folks will take it in a grip that sarts your bones a cracking, and makes you feel as tho you d like to do some proper smacking. It leaves your fingers erompled up and red. and sore and shaking, it leaves you thinking that the show of friendliness was faking. And some will lift your hand up high and give it just a wiggle, while passing out some high brow stuff with now and then a giggle. This method leaves you ill at ease, it’s not at all appealing. It brings a sort of sea-sicky and nauseated feeling. Still other folks will take your hand or rather theirs is taken, and not an inch it ever moves the while it's being shaken. It rests in yours like some thing cold that has no sense of living. It leaves you much dissatisfied and full of deep misgiving. But when the elasp of hands is firm and warm and bale and hearty, you fell as tho you’re mighty glad to know the other party. It leaves you full of hap piness and pleasure in your meeting, because you see the heart behind the hand that gives you greeting. Cordially yours—T. V. It. WHAT ABOUT THE COTTON HUP PLY? Will there be an actual cotton short age on August Ist? Will American mills have to close because they cannot get raw cotton? Taking for granted that currenet statistics are correct. Theo dore Ptiee, writing in Commerce and Finn nee intimates that on August 1 Am erica will be “confronted by an abso lute and unprecedented exhaustion of its cotton supply." George L. Fossick, writing in the Memphis (Commercial Appeal, believes cotton Is going to be scarce, but he feels that high prices will prevail and that ■ this price will bring out much cotton that is now being apparently hid. He says: Because a minus quantity can never be un actuality and the condition thus foreshadowed is commercially inconceiva ble I have preferred to ussuuie that his tory Would repeat itself and that the high prices that are a logical inference from the statistics would bring out enough of the invisible and uncountable reserve of cotton in the country to keep the mills running and prevent the dis persion of their operatives. Mr. Fossick points oat thnt in the . eighteen years ended July 31, 1923. the census added a total of over 4X00,000 bales to the ascertained supply. We grant that there is more cotton than has been enumerated, as some al ways escapes enumeration, but we agree with The Raleigh News and Observer in the opinion tbut it is goiug to be hard to "offset the estimated prospective short age of 2,630,000 bales." It would in deed be a very serious matter if lack of raw material caused a curtailment of tex tile operations. Tfff 'cnZer 'ifv t* any more 4tal"tTri 1, people than what is being done on the part of the State to eliminate sickness, Charlotte 8 News" fives some interesting Sr . * °“ , ises of the North Carolina board of ; health and show that Sh 1923 in this | State 91,322 cases of sickness were re , ported with an average of four weeks to each case, a total of 363,280 weeks. The News thinks that the cost of the sickness in each case would average $6 a day, counting nursing, medical attention, drugs and loss of time from work, the 'total being $15,152,006. This does not Include sickness from tuberculosis and ‘other disease which are not reportable. Three of the reportable diseases—ty phoid fever, diphtheria and smallpox— can be prevented and yet last year they caused a staggenug economic loss. There were 634 deaths from these diseases and the total number of cases of sickness was 9,605 ; 38,420 weeks of sickness at $6 per day would cost $1,613,640 for sick ness from these diseases that ean be pre vented. Last year there were 498 deaths from measles and 52.066 eases; 482 deaths from whooping cough and 1&075 Otises f and 13 deaths from smallpox und 8,352 cases. The loss of time 4o those persons suffering from these diseases represent a huge sum. We are in sympathy with efforts to check these preventable diseases and we agree with the opinion us expressed by the health bulletin that made the figures public: “The biggest business, with the exception of saving souls, is the business of keeping well,” Medals to Be Presented to Best State Spellers.

Raleigh, April 10. —“Nice one!" “That's the boy; just like that!" “Aw, pick ’em up and hold ’em!” "Take a lead; take a lead!" These are some of the things Geosge W. (“King”) Kelly has been heard yell ing at the youngsters of the Raleigh club of the Piedmont League during spring practice. Kelly was recently appointed one of the coaches and trainers of the local team. Kelly is one of the best known base ball players in the South. During the last twenty-five or thirty years be has managed or played with teams in leagues in North Carolina, South Carolina, Vir ginia, Georgia' gnd Florida. . , Kelly has made Raleigh his home for more than a score of years. He came to Raleigh from Washington, D. C. ' “King” Kelly came to Raleigh in the summer of 1901 to become a member of the Raleigh “Red Birds" of the old Vir igiuia-Carolina baseball league. Several players on this team later won fame in the major leagues, including ■ Pitcher Frank Smith, who had a brilliant career with the Chicago Cubs, and Jakie Metz, third baseman, who played with the Chi cago White Sox several seasons before going to the New Orleans club of the Southern League. Other players of this team went to the Southern and Pa cific Coast Leagues. Old timers recall the day when "King” Kelly arrived in Raleigh to join the local. The “Red Birds" had suffered a severe slump. and were playing Dur ham, Raleigh's ancient baseball rival, the afternoon Kelly reported. Kelly was scheduled to arrive in Raleigh early on the morfiing of the game, but missed .connections and did not get here until after the coptest had started. In the midst of the game some one noticed a man in uniform, whose hair was slightly- gray, alight from a-horse drawn vehicle just back of the grand stand. "Hello King,” a fan shouted. Kelly waived hfc hand aud went immediately to the players' dugout. Old fans say it was during the last half <if the seventh inning when Kelly reported a( the baseball park, with the score three to two in favor of Durham. Raleigh was at bat, they say, with: two men on bases and two out. “Kelly batting for Jones,” the- im pire announced aud Kelly strolled to> the plate., ' ’ - The pitcher looked at K 1:11y and Ifelly looked at the pitcher. The pitcher shot over a fast one. .“Strike one,” the umpire called. “Strike two," was the umpire’s deei - sion. i The crowd groaned. Kelly stooped, gathered a handful of: dirt, rubber it carefully- up aud down his bat and took his stand at the plate. The pitcher slashed another across the platter and Kelly's bat Tnet it squarely on the nose. The ball saile(f over the centerfielders’ head and two Raleigh I runners had scored when Kelly stopped lat third. Kelly scored on a passed hall and Raleigh won the game 5 to 3. That was the beginning of "King" Kelly's baseball career here,. He was first given the position of fifst baseman aud later made manager of The Raleigh FRESH FISH, Plenty of fish this week, includ ling Fancy Roe and Buck Shad, King Mackerel and Croakers.
