Dear Folks: The reading matter out today is ample for the masses. There’s every sort and every kind to satisfy - all classes. Some folks will find their greatest joy in read ing tafeb of plunder, where heroes travel page by page through deeds of blood and thunder. And others take the olden poets and glory in their writings. They love de scription told in verse with nothing said of fightings. They like to read of bab bling brooks and snow capped icy moun tains, of marble statues true to life which grace the sparkling fountains. And history will hold the minds of count less other readers, who trial at tales of Washington and bold and fearless leaders. To them there's lure in what is dry to those who crave for fiction, whose thirst for tales of modern life amounts to an addiction. Adventure, travel, botany make other rending matter. Home like the first and some the next, and some prefer the lat ter. Some find the classics best of all while others think them musty. And some will study what is what, to keep from getting rusty. All kinds of readers take their choice, to them their kind is pleasing. And what is warm to some of them, to other folks is freezing. But all will find a meeting place where interest always ca pers. That place is in the daily ads appearing in the papers. Cordially yours—T. V. R. WHO ARE THE CRIMINALS. A review of crime statistics reveals the startling fact that eighty per cent, of all the crimes in the United States are com mitted by yonng men and young women between the ages of 18 and 23. The statistics also show that while . the majority of criminals are young nlen, criminals among young women of the nac , tion are increasing at an alarming rate. Just read the newspapers carefully and the youthfulness of the criminal will be come apparent at once. Loeb, Leopold. William Wright, Bernard Grant and others reeeaved much publicity for their crimes and each is but a youth in years. The condition is a shocking one! The Charlotte News finds that in 580.- 000 arraignments in magistrates’ courts in New York City last year, 80 per cent, of the defendants were youths between the ages of 18 and 23. The metropoli tan average follows pretty nearly that of the entire United States. Sixty per cent, of these youths were morally and mentally deficient, the trial magistrates estimate. A desire to obtain easy money, bad as sociates to egg them on and help them spend, and lack of the proper backgronmd afforded by good homes, school and re ligious training, and complete lack of conscience, in the opinion of Judge Cruin, of the Court of General Sessions in New York, are responsible in great part for this defection among the thousands of youths of America who yearly fall into crime gnd after a short time become grad unto V tin it; LY.iumaiß. The News says a solution of the mat tendency of -of. tinue to produce criminals among the' yonng. Char modern cities, overcrowded, I fast living, fearfully congested, are turn ing out unfinished products of humanity | that easily and quickly fall into crime.” | Truly it is a question that challenges the interect of every one. We must save the youth that is now being led into crime unless we would allow a deplora ble condition to become even a greater menace. GOVERNOR McLEAN. Governor A. W. McLean became Chief Executive of North Carolina today and he and his family are occupying the Gov ernor’s Mansion on Blount street. Governor McLean enters upon the du ties of Governor with the full confidence of the people. He was elected by one of the largest majorities in the history of the State and besides, those persons who voted against him for political reasons recognize in him a man of sterling worth, a man fully capable of administering the offices of Governor with rare grace and wisdom. Governor McLean has served the public befqre and he served it well. He has held high office in federal ranks and in each place of trust he performed so as to increase public confidence in him. A sound business man of striking ap pearance and gracious manner, Governor McLean is expected to keep North Car olina straight on the road to progress. The people believe he will weigh well each question and give such questions the benefit of his well trained and able mind. The people do not expect North Car olina to stand still or go backward under the leadership of Governor McLean. At the same time they expect the State to move cautiously and within reason that the burden of taxation may not become unbearable. YOUR INCOME TAX No. 3 If you are single and support in your home one or more persons closely re lated to you and over whom you exer cise family control, you are the head of a family and entitled under the revenue act of 11)24 to the same personal exemp tion allowed a married person. $2,500. In addition, a taxpayer is entitled to a credit of S4OO for each person dependent upon him for chief support, if such per son is either under 18 years of age or incapable of self-support because men tally or physically defective. Such de pendent need not be a member of the taxpayer's household. For example, an unmarried son who suports in his home nn aged mother is entitled to an exemp tion of $2,500 plus the S4OO credit for a dependent, a total of $2,000. If from choice the mother lived in another city, the son. although her chief support, would be entitled only to the SI.OO ex emption. plus the S4OO credit. The mother not living with him. he is not considered the head of a family. An exemption as the head of a fam ily can be claimed by only one member of a household. The S4OO credit does not apply to the wife or husband of a taxpayer, though one may be totally dependent upon the other. TODAY’S EVENTS Wednesday, January 14, 1925 Ten years ago today, after a week's hard battling, the French were obliged to retreat across the Aisne.

After graduating from the Mc- Millan Military School, in 1884, he en tered high school, completing his course there in 1880.

NO RECOVERY ON BANK DRAFT THAT IS RAISED Richmond Bank. Which Cashed Docu ment Raised From $6 to $8,470.50, Loses. Richmond. Va.. Jan. 13.—1 n an opin ion today affirming decision of the federal district court at Raleigh, N. C.. the United States circuit court of ap peals held that a bank issuing a draft is subsequently altered is only liable for the original face value. The case was one iu which the Sav ings bank of Richmond sued the National bank of Goldsboro, N. C., for recovery of $8,470-50, this being the amount to which a draft fbr $6, Issued by the Goldsboro bank in March. 1918. payable to N. L. Massie, a sewing machine agent, of Richmond, was al leged to have been raised by Massie. The draft, as altered, was in due course of business cashed by the Richmond bank in good faith without knowing that it had been altered.. Upon discover ing it had been altered, the Richmond hank undertook to hold the Goldsboro bank liable for the amount it lost in cashing it. The draft was drawn by A C. Nor wood. president of the Goldsboro bank, to whom Massie had been introduced by the latter’s uncle, J. B. Egerton, a prominent citizen of Goldsboro. It was written on non-sensitized white paper. The amount was not stencilled, nor was any safety device used in writiug the draft. After the draft is alleged to have been raised, a proteetograph was used in stencilling it. and this gave lr the ap pearance of being genuine. The draft was cashed here in June, 1918. after the date had also been changed- Massie disappeared before it was ascertained that it had been tampered with. He is yet to be located. The Richmond bank in its suit for recovery of the amount of the altered draft insisted that the goldsboro bank was liable on the ground that it drew the draft so carelessly and negligently as not only to make possible a fraud EVERETT TRUE BY CONDI “'TAIN’f/,OPIN’ TO )| £ssj,;f T® I j- n THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE During the World War the state's new executive wag prominent in national af fairs.

In its opinion, the appeal court said tat the ease was governed by the laws of the state of North Carolina, inas much ns the draft had been negotiated in that state. In reaching its conclus ions. it. followed the interpretation which the Supreme court had placed on the negotiable instruments act of that state in a similar case in which the Broad Street bank of Richmond, sued the Goldsboro bauk for recovery on another draft, alleged to have been al tered by Massie. In this case it was held by the Supreme court that there could be recovery for only the original face value of the draft. t STATESVILLE ASKS FOR REFORMED CHURCH SYNOD Church at Duo West. 8. C..

Invariably, the added value is greater 1 than the cost of 'the improvement. A house cannot be modern unless it has ade quate sanitary equipment. Besides being an attractive investment, n modern bathroom greatly increases comfort in a home. It teaches children healthy habits, and protects tbe health of every member of the family.
