OIL PLOTTERS INDICTED AGAIN. With “unexpected swiftness,” to quote from a Washington dispatch to a New York paper, a special grand jury in Wash ington re-indicted former Secretary of Interior Albert B. Fall, "Harry F. Sin clair and Edward L. Doheny, Jtlto indict ment charging conspiracy to defraud the, government. Edward L. Doheny, Jr., who carried the alleged bribe of 3100,000 frpm the oil interns to Fall, was not in cluded in the new indictments, the grand jury evidently believing him to have been merely a tool by which the transfer of the tnoney was made. Right on the heels of the indictment comes a decision by a California judge that the lease given for Reserve No. 1 in California was not valid. The court’s decision directed that the government take over, the property again. The oil in terests, controlled by’ Doheny, will carry the matter toMhe Supreme C6urt as was to be expected. - \ These renewed activities against the oil plotters give rise to the hope that something will be done after all to the men who conspired to take from the gov ernment much valuable oil lands. It is not uncommon to hear people talk about what money will do ‘in the courts with the prophecy that the entire oil crowd comes clear, but if the government con tinues the fight something may come of it after all. SucK a result is to be hoped for. There is none too much respect for the law now and if these people get away with these oil leases, as it appear ed at one time they would, they will be held up as examples of what influence and money can do to defeat justice. THE~KINDERGARTEN. A number of children in Concord have been benefitted during the past year by the kindergarten which is conducted un ’ der the auspices of the Y. M.' C. A. For a number of years efforts were made to secure such a school for Concord but the efforts failed until this year when Secre tary H. W. Blanks, of the Y, got behind the project and put R over. The train ing has been of much benefit to the chil dren undoubtedly, and it has been possi ble to get the training at a cost much less than that which prevails in other citieS. Mr. Blanks is anxious to have the school conducted for another year, but it is necessary for him to get more support than he did this year if the school is opened in the fall. It is seldom that chil dren -can get kindergarten training for ?5 a month, yet It is possible in Concord if enough parents will support the school. Parents of Concord should give this subject the consideration it deserves be fore they allow it to get beyond them through negligence. Mr. Blanks should not be expected to push the matter unless he feels that he has the co-operation of parents who have children of kindergar ten age. His decision in the matter will rest entirely with the fathers and iriotl ers who should want to see their chil dren developed along Such lines as are stressed in the )findergart?n. AN IMPOSSIBLE CONDITION. . Senator Borah does not think the Unit ed States should enter a world court un e ■ ,i til there is an “established body of Inter national law under which to operate.” | That creates an impossible course. The Senator wants the court created but he doesn't want anybody to create it. Charles Evans Hughes has an entirely different View. In an address be fore the Americaji Society of Internat ional Law he urged international judi cial institutions as “another way of de veloping international law in addition to the direct legislative processes.” Con tinuing he said: . “The suggestion that an international corirt should await the development of intqrnatjpnal law' is that of academic character which puts hurdles in the way of progress. As we need various sorts of arrangements .to' promote peace, we re quire different kinds of instrumentalities to develop the law-and especially should we have' the eontirinous functioning of the Permanent Court ..of , International Justice. * I should say that the work of such a court would be the best assur ance that we should have of that develop ment.” Mr. Hughes has alwnys taken a posi tion looking to world peace, but the pity is that he and men with similar views shpnld bp forced to bow to the decision of such men as Senator Borah, Senator Johnson and Senator LaFollette. Presi dent Coolidge favors the world court, yet he has been unable to do anything con structive to put across the project. Got His Fin of Mobs. ' Monroe Enquirer. Robert May. who goes everywhere and sees everything he looks at, said he got his fill of mobs while down nt Dallas, Tex as, at the Confederate reunion, last week. According to Bob. and back ed up by the Dallas Dispatch, there was an effort made by several thousand men tq take a negro from the county jail and lynch him. Bob, out of curiosity, got too close to the jail,, house and ■'soon found himself Inextricably jammed 'among a mass of humanity. Officers began firing into the crowd, the, Monroe man wanted' to leave bad but couldn't. The fire company came and turned three or four stream's of water on the jail-stcflhners, and everybody got n 'wetting. ’ But Bob, as soon as he could, de parted those coasts. Not, however, until he had gotten himself well sprinkled, for tunately with cold water and not with hot lead. At the end of the affair, four persons were seriously shot, and a hun dred or more placed in jail. They did not get the murderer. iNext day Bob said he heard that the negro who was in jail and the mob want ed 1 , Bad killed a mar and assaulted a woman, who at the time were out joy riding in an automobile. The woman was not the man’s wife, wife but both had families-. “It was a mess all around,” said Bob. . Don’t Place Entire Trust In the Cotton Crop. < Monroe Enquirer. The present unseasonable weather should be a warning to Union county farmers noY to place their entire trust upon a cotton crop. We should always remenib'Cr mir'oofinty is on tile 'northern tier of cotton states, and tlint it is more difficult to grow the staple here than fur ther Stouth whel-e good progress is being made because off a warmer climate. , But Union county Is blessed •by the met that it has fine markets for almost ail kinds of produce and at fair prices, should our farmers increase their dairy ing and poultry raising in the same ra tio for the next five years as they have in the past, these will exceed ’the value of last year’s cotton, crop. - And last year’s 25,-bale cotton crop, together with value of the seed, brought a little more than, 33,000,000 to Union county farm ers. Increased soil fertility by the use of legumes is the making of Union county. With good soils there is no reason what ever why farmers should not be success ful even when cotton growing proves dif ficult. , Believe It dr .Not. Mrs. Nora Gravghan, of Washington, lost her pocketbook in a public building in that city. It had 315 in it. She notified the police. Several hours later it was found in the vieinity where it was said to have disappeared. When opened it had nearly 3100 in it.

Sister's beau was taking supper with the family, and Johhny was enthusias tically telling him about a soldier -friend who had called on his sister several days since. He said, "Gee! he was swell, and he had his arm—” “Johnny,” said his stater is great em barrassment and’ blushing to the roots of her hair. "What are you telling?" “Well,” said Johnny, “I was only go ing to say that he had his arm—” ‘J*t nny, that will be enough from you," said iis mother. “I was only saying he had his arm— '* “Johnny, you Jeave this room this minute,” said his father severely.

What I ask. and I ask it again and again—what has brought this change in me?” The silence was broken by one of the audience, who mildly inquired: “What change?” Good As New. During his vacation a lawyer met an old friend in the village and their con versation drifted to a discussion of the natives. A young farmer came under their view. “He’s a fine looking young fellow.” said the lawyer “ Ye-e-s,” assented his friend. “Well, anyway, he has a mighty good head.’' .. * , “It ought to be good,” was the reply. “That man's head is brand new —he’s never used it any.” The annual convention of the National Electric Light.

Rothacker, SYNOPSIS Malone, a London newspaper re porter, rejected by the girl he loves because he has no heroic deeds to his credit, appeals to his editor for a dangerous assignment, and is sent to interview the irascible Pro fessor Challenger, who has recent ly returned from an expedition to South America with an amazing story, which no one believes, pf the existence on a great plateau there of many forms of prehistoric life. Byway of proof he exhibits to Malone two sketches—one showing the cliffs beneath the plateau, the other a monstrous animal resem bling the stegosaurus—which he had found among the possessions of a dead explorer , Maple White; some blurred photographs; and a piece of the wing of a huge flying’ serpent, or pterodactyl, which he says he shot down. Malone is con vinced of the professor’s sincerity. At a scientific lecture that night which he invites the reporter to attend Challenger creates an up roar by constantly interrupting the lecturer, denying hie assertion that mastodon life is extinct, and challenging the audience to send out an expedition to test the truth of his own theories. There are three volunteers; Professor Sum merles, a scientist, and long a bit ter enemy of Challenger’s; Ma lone, etiU in guest of adventure, and Lord John Hoxton, well known sportsman and explorer. ■After the meeting Malone accompanies , Lord John to his rooms to make plans for the trip. CHAPTER VI (Continued) “By the way.” he continued, com ing back to his chair, "what do you know of this Professor Challen ger?" , “I never saw him till today." "Well, neither did 1. It's funny we should both sail under sealed orders from a man wo don't know. He seemed an uppish old bird. His brothers of scleneo don't seem too fond of him, eithv„. ' Hdw came you to take an interest In the af fair r 1 told him 'shortly my experi ences of the morning, and he lis tened latently. he drew out a map of South America and laid it on the table. “1 believe every single word he said to you was the truth." 6atd he. earnestly, “and, mind you, 1 have something to go on when 1 speak like that. South Amerl . la a place 1 love, and 1 think. If you take It right through from Darien to Fue go. It’s the grandest, richest, most wonderful bit of earth upon this planet. People don’t know It yet, and don’t realize what It may be come. I’ve been Up an’ down It i from end to end, and bad two dry seasons in those very parts, as 1 told you when 1 spoke of %he war I made on the slave-dealers. Well, when I was up there 1 beard some i yarns ot the same kind —traditions i! of Indians and the like, but with | somethin' behind them, no doubt, i The more you know 6l that coun -1 try, young fellah, the more you i would understand that anythin' was possible—anythin'. There are , just some narrow waterlanps along | which. folk ttravel, and outside that ! It is all darkness. Now, down here 1 In the Matto Grande”—he swept | hie cigar over a part of the map— | “or up In \thls corner where three i countries meet, nothin' would sur | prise me. As that chap said to i night," there are fifty-thousand | miles ot water-way runnln' through I a forest that is very qear the size You and,)" could be as far away from each other as Scot land te from Constantinople, and yet each of us be is the same great Brazilian forest. Man has just made a track here and a scrape there in the maze. Why. the river rises and (alls the best part of forty feet, and halt the country is a morass that you can’t pass over. Why shouldn’t somethin’ new and wonderful lie in such a country? And why shouldn't we be the men to find It oat? Besides," he added, his queer, gaunt face shin trig with delight, “there's a sportin’ risk in every mile of It. I’m like an old golf-ball—l've had all the white paint knocked off me long ago. Life can whack' me about now, and it can’t leave a mark. Hut a sportin’ risk, young fellah, that’s the salt of existence. Then It’s worth livin’ again. We’re all gettln' a deal foo soft and dull and comfy. Give me the great waste lands and the wide spaces, with a gun in my fist and somethin' to look for that's worth flndln’. I’ve tried war and pteeplechasln' and aeroplanes, but this huntin’ ot beasts that look like a lobster-supper dream Is a brand new sensation.” He chuckled with glee at the prospect. Perhaps I have dwelt too long upon this new acquaintance, but he Is to be my comrade for many a day, and so 1 bars tried to Mt him down as I first saw him, with his 1 ' quaint personality and* his queer little tricks o( speech and o( thought. It was only the need ot getting in the account ot my meet ing which drew me at last from his company. I left him seated amid his pink radiance; oiling the lock ot bis favorite rifle, while he still chuckled to himself at the thought bf the adventures which awaited us. It was very clear to me that if dangers lay before ns I could not in all - England haye found' a cooler head or a braver spirit with which to share them. That night, wearied as I was af ter the wonderful happenings of the day, I sat late with McArdle, .the news editor, explaining to him the whole situation, which he thought Important enoqgh to bring next morning before the notice of Sir George Beaumont, the chief. It was agreed that I should write home full accounts of my adven tures in the shape ot successive letters to McArdle, and that these should either be edited tor the Ga zette as they arrived, or held back to be published later, according to the wishes of Professor Challen ger, since we could not yet know what conditions he might attach to ,those directions which should guide us to the unknown - land. .'ln response to a telephone Inquiry, we received nothing more definite than a fulmination -against the Press,’ending up with the remark that If -we would notify our boat he would hand us any directions which he might think -Hr proper to give us at the moment of starting. A second question from ns failed to elicit any answer at all, save • plaintive bleat trom his wife to the effect that her husband was in a very violent temper already, and that she hoped we would do noth ing to make It worse. A third at- He runs after us, a puffing, red faced, Irascible figure. jv ' : -tempt, later in the day, provoked a terrific crash, and a subsequent message from the Central Ex change that ' Professor Challen ger’s receiver ha 3 been shattered. After that we abandoned all at tempt at communication. And now, my patient readers, ] can address you directly no longer. From now onwards (if, indeed, any continuation of this narrative should ever reach you) It can only be through the pa pel which 1 rep resent. In the bandW of the editor I leave this account of the events which have ted up to one' of the most remarkable expeditions of kll time, so that if 1 never return to England there shall be some rec ord us to how the affair came about. 1 am writing these last lines in the saloon of the Booth liner Franclsca. and they will go back by the pilot to the keeping of Mr. McArdle Let me draw the last pio ture before I close the notebook— a picture which Is the last memory of the old country which 1 bear away with me. It lea wet, foggy morning In the late spring; a thin, - cold rain Is falling. Three shining | mackintoshed figures are walking down the quay,- making tor the gang plank of the great liner from which the blue-peter la .flylpg. In front of them a porter pushes a trolley piled high with trunks. t wraps, and gun-cases. Professor Summerlee. a long, melancholy fig ure. walks with dragging steps and drooping head, as one who is al ready profoundly sorry fpr-himself. Lord John Roxton steps briskly,- and bis thin, eager face beams forth between his hunting-cap and his muffler. As for myself. I am glad to have got the bustling days of preparation and the pangs of . leave-taking behind me, and I have no donbt that I show it In my bean- ! lng. Suddenly, just as we reach the vessel, there is a shout behind us. It is Professor Challenger, who had promised to see ue off. He runs after us. a puffing, red-faced, irascible figure.
