THE TREND OF BUSINESS.
Recent developments in trade and in
dustry have been highly irregular; but.
taken together, they indicate the coptip;
uanee of business as a whole at a fairly
high levelc of activity, reports the cur
rent issue of the “Guaranty Survey,’’ pub
lished today by the Guaranty Trust
Company, of New York.
“Large trade volumes are reflected es
pechill.v by such general indexes as
freight traffic, sales at retail, and bank
clearings,’’ the “Survey” continues. “Pay
ments by check as measured by debits to
individual accounts reported by the Fed
eral Reserve Board for the week ended
May 6 were the largest ever recorded. In
some of the basic industries further de
clines in outut have appeared, while oth
ers have reached new high records.
“General commodity prices rose in the
second and third weeks of May. after an
almost uninterrupted decline of two
months' duration. Whether this is only a
temporary halt in a slow downward move
ment or the beginning of a substantial
advance, it appears that, in either event,
with rates of general consumption and
industrial production so nearly in bal
ance. business activity as a whole will
be well maintained in nearby months.
“Perhaps the most important feature
of the present situation in its bearing
on tbe course, of business for the remain
der of the year is the exceptionally good
condition of tlic crops. Despite the ros
pcct for a greatly reduced yield of win
ter wheat, the agricultural outlook in
general is distinctly favorable. The cot
ton acreage will apparently be larger
than ever before, and weather conditions
have been such as to make early planting
possible over a large art of the belt. Oth
er crops also are much more advanced
than at this season a year ago.”
WANT ALL, AUTHORITY IN WASH
INGTON.
In bis; Twentieth of May address in
Charlotte Senator Lee S. Overman issued
another warning against the ambitions of
those persons who want to centralize all
power in Washington. The Charlotte
News interprets the address as a warn
ing against “the tendency on the part of
the Federal government to monopolize
the business of governing the country, to
ignore the States almost entirely and to
set up super-forms of authority in Wash
ington to take precedence over the com
monwealths in those common and ordi
nary functions committed to them under
the constitution.”
Senator Overman has been preaching
a doctriue against federal control for
several years and we believe he has been
doing no more important work than this.
He has been in Washington long enough
to see hpw things are moving and lie
realizes full well the danger of central
t izing power in the federal government.,.
Bo nth is apiotljer '• member -of
whb him- been- devoting'much of
liic’Uine to,* llkht against effortsllo-igive
thf fr JVntdiiugt(in government control over
Bt«'te; questioux, and he and Senator Qy-
aware of the fact that if|
moyemeyts v novv bu foot are successful it
will, not be l*ng until the States will
hate no power.'' They’ will not be allow
b * ; s
•k even to pass on questions that deal'
. solely with matters within their own bor
. I The News recognizes (he evil as p-int
[ed out by Senators Overman ami Borah 1
, and it goes farther to issue a warning
1 against the practice of some States in
! trying to do the same thing that the fed- |
eral government is attempting. In some
1 States, The News says, “the rights, the ,
■ businesses, the homes, the firesides, the
sacred content of communities are no
longer given the respect which is their
due. The State is attempting to do in
. many cases what was formerly left ex- 1
’lclusively for the town, the village or the
country-side district, and the result of
■ this centralization, even within the com- j
monwealths, has been to divest the peo
ple not only of a direct voice in the set- j
| ting up of the sorts of government they I
i wanted for themselves, but, overriden as
1 they have been, and so accustomed to I
the practice of delegating their’authority,
that they have lost the old-time zest and ,
interest in government which was notably
a possession of the fathers.”
The News is right. We hear people
talking about the federal government
wanting to take all of the States' rights
away, and in many instances these same
people are trying to take away the rights
of the counties, cities and towns. One
is as bad as the other. Centralization of
the power in the State capital is as bid
as centralization of power in the national
capital. The cities and towns have
rights just the same as the States, and it
is just as harmful for all power within
a State to be centralized in its capital as
it is for the power within the Union to
be centralized in Washington.
Life In German Army Not Altogether
Happy.
Berlin. May 23.—There were 100 sui
cides in the Germany army a year dur
ing 1923 and 1924, and the authorities,
investigating causes, lay the blame large
ly to the long period of enlistment. 12
years .proscribed by the Treaty of Ver
sailles.
Soldiers get despondent at the end
of four or five years, it i« pointed out.
when they are not made non-commis
sioned officers. Naturally the number
of such commissions is limited. Those
who ere not selected see ahead of them
only eight more ..ears of drugery.
On the other hard, men who s"rve
out the full twelve years are given pref
erence in the allotment of civil .service
positions, which means that they are
t raetiealy taken care of for life.
Amundsen Takes His Time. This Editor
~ Says.
Own' Norway, May 24.—There is no I
word yet from the Amuncteeu-Eiisworth
expedition to the north pole, but the in
tense interest in the fate of the men
both here and throughout Norway is
s howu by the constant questioning of
newspapers and those who might pos
sibly receive information. Yet there is
nothing but silence in the myterious
north into which Amundsen and his
comrades disappeared several days ago.
The Aftenposten urges patience. It re
marks that Amundsen always takes his
time and recalls that when he was ar
the south pole with little food, and even
moments were precious, he remained
there three days.
Gets More Than 100 Pounds of Honey
From Each Hive.
Salisbury. May 24.—. J. B. C'ornelison,
of Rowan county, secured more than
100 pounds of honey per hive from sev
eral of bis stands of bees lost season and
experts to do even better this year, re
ported County Agent W. G- Yeager.
“Mr. Cornelison is using modern
hives and other modern equipment."
said the county agent, “and the results
show that the investment is a paying
one. He has established a ready market
for all his surplus honey, at 25 cents a
pound.”

SYNOPSIB
Malone, a London nowepaper re
porter, rejected by the girl he
loves beoauee he has no great deeds
to his credit, appeals to his editor
for a dangerous assignment, and
is sent to interview the irascible
Professor Challenger, a scientist,
who has recently returned from an
expedition to South America with
an amazing story, which no one
believes, of the existence there on
a great plateau of many forms of
prehistoric life. Byway of proof
he shows Malone two sketches—
one, of the cliffs beneath the pla
teau, the other of a monstrous ani
mal resembling the stegosaurus—
which had been among the posses
sions of an explorer, Maple White,
whom he had found dead from
starvation; some blurred photo
graphs of what appeared to be the
same cliffs; and a piece of the wing
of a huge flying serpent, or ptero
dactyl, which he had shot down.
Malone is convinced of Challen
ger’s sincerity. He accepts the
professor’s invitation to attend a
scientific lecture that evening by a
Mr. Waldron.
CHAPTER V (Continued)
My day was a busy one, and I
had an early dinner at the Savage
Club with Tarp Henry, to whom I
gave some account of my adven
tures. He listened with a scep
tical smile on his gaunt face, and
roared with laughter .on hearing
that tbe Professor had convinced
me.
“My dear chap, things don’t hap
pen like that In real life. People
don’t stumble upon enormous dis
coveries and then lose their evi
dence. Leave tnat to the novelists.
The fellow is as full of tricks as
the monkey-house at the Zoo. It’s
all bosh. - *
“But the American poetf*
He tat siowiy ouwn, dick ouc tits cnest, and looked with
supercilious eyes at the crowded hall before him.
•He never existed."
“1 saw hit sketch-book.'
“Challenger’s sketch-book."
"You think be drew that ani
mal r
“Os coarse be did. Who elseT”
“Well, then, the photographs?”
"There was nothing In the
photography. By your own ad
mission yon only saw a bird."
“A pterodactyl.”
“That’s what he says. He put
the pterodactyl Into your head.“
“Well, then, the bones?"
"First one out of an Irish stew.
Second one vamped up tor the oc
casion. If you are clever and know
your business you can fake a bone
as easily as you can a photograph.”
I began to teal uneasy. Perhaps,
after all. I had been premature In
my acquiescence. Then I had a
sudden happy thought.
“Will you come to the meeting?”
I asked.
Tarp Henry looked thoughtful.
“He Is not a popular person, the
genial Challenger,” said ha. “A lot
of people have accounts to settle
with him. J should say he Is the
best-hated man is London. U the
medical students turn out there
will be no end of a rag. 1 don’t
want to get into a bear-garden.”
“You might at least do him the
justice to hear him state his own
case."
“Well, perhaps U’a only talr. AU
right rm your man for the eve
ning."
When we arrived at the hall we
found a much greater concourse
than I had expected. A line of eleo
tric broughams discharged their
little cargoes of white-bearded pro
fessors, whils stream of
humbler pedestrians, who crowded
through the arched doorway, show
•C that the gndlence would be pop
as well as Scientific. Indeed,
it became evident to us.aa soon
aa; W had •' qyken our seats’ that -ka
* ? jnjpUul / an«sN»fen boyish ;■ spirit
wga abroad lnithe *aflery; and -the
hath portlona'-of-fhe’ halt Looking
behind me. i could aea ‘to!** l of
faces of the 1 familfar medical stu
dent type Apparently the great
hospitals had f MOh sent down thslr
contingent The behavior ot the '
audience at present was good- i
humored, but mischievous. Scraps
of popular songs were chorused !
with an enthusiasm which wap a
strange prelude to a scientific led- j
ture, and there was already a ten
dency to personal chaff which prom- j 1
ised a jovial evening to others,
however embarrassing it might be j
to the recipients of these dubiouify ■
honors. * 1
Thus, when old Doctor Meldrum, j
with bis well-known curly-brimmed |
opera-hat, appeared upon the plat- j
form, there was such a universal J
query of "Where did you get that j
tile?” that he hurriedly removed it. i
and concealed it furtively under ,
his chair. When gouty Professor |
Wadley limped down to his seat
there were general affectionate In
quiries from all parts of the hall
as to the state of hi 3 poor
toe, which caused him obvious em
barrassment. The greatest demon
stration of all, however, was thg 1
entrance ot my new acquaintance, {
Professor Challenger, when he S
passed down to take his place at C
the extreme end of the front row >
of the platform. Such a yell ct
welcome broke forth when hi*
black beard first protruded round
the corner that I began to suspect ]
Tarp Henry was right in his sur- i
mise, and that this assemblage [
watf there not merely for the sake ji
of the lecture, but because it had |j
got rumored abroad that the fa- .
mous Professor would take part In j
the proceedings.
There was some sympathetic ]
laughter on his entrance among ,
the front benches of well-dressed
spectators, as though the demoitj
stration of the students in this in*
stance was not unwelcome to
them. That greeting was. Indeed,
a frightful outburst of sound, the
uproar of the carnivora cage when
the step of the bucket-bearing
keeper is heard in the distance.
There was an offensive tone in
it, perhaps, and yet in the main
it struck me as mere riotous out
cry, the noisy reception of one
who amused and interested them,
rather than ot one they disliked
or despised. Challenger smiled
with weary and tolerant contempt,
as a kindly man would meet the
yapping ot a litter ot puppies. He
sat slowly down, blew out his
chest, passed his band caressingly
down his beard, and looked with
drooping eyelids and supercilious
eyes at the crowded hall before
him. The uproar ot his advent
had not yet died away when Pro
fessor Ronald Murray, the chair
man. and Mr. Waldron, the lecture
er, threaded their w<*; to the front,
and the proceedings began.
Professor Murray will, 1 am sure,
excuse me if I say that he has the j
common fault of most Englishmen <
ot being inaudible. Why on earth {
people who have something to say i
which is worth hearing should not ]
take the slight trouble to learn <
how to make it heard is ona of {
the strange mysteries of modern
life. Their methods are as reason- I
able as to try to pour some pro- j
clous stu? from the spring to the •]
reservoir through a non-conducting
pipe, wihch could by the least effort
be opened. Professor Murray <
made several profound remarks to I
his‘white tie and to the water- j!
carafe upon the table, with a ho- j
morons twinkling aside to the sll- !
var candlestick upon his right. Then j
he sat down, and Mr. Waldron, the !
famous popular lecturer, rose amid j
a general murmur ot applause. He !
was a store, gaunt man. with a j
harsh voice and an aggressive !
manner, but he had the merit of ]
knowing bow to assimilate the '
Ideas of qther men, end to pane 1
them on In away which was in- '
telllgible and even interesting ta ]
tk<* lay public, , with a happy knack
of belig funny about the ,
likely ! objects, so'that the
i Sibn ot the Equinox or the fqraf
! tion of a vertebrate became •
