HOW LONG WILL THE BOOM LAST? A writer in the Wilmington Star de claies that the real estate boom in Flor ida has reached its crest, and sounds a warning to those who may be disposed to sell mrt and stake their all. And evi dently many of the folks the nation over are doing something like that. ‘ An Atlanta man in this office last week a few hours made the statement that millions of dollars had been withdrawn from Atlanta bank savings accounts and taken to Florida: further stating that a mutual friend and acquaintance who owns an apartment house . ; n the Georgia capital lost several tenants in one week, all Florida bound. The Salisbury Post admits that many “have made good in the state" (Florida) and predicts “that many'more will.” yet it issues the timely warning that invest ors should be people who conld afford to take a chance. “It is a wonderful oppor tunity," says The Post, “for those with surplus and planting their investment safely, but it is a wild chance for just every one to sell out, take their little nest egg and go to Florida expecting to get rich overnight. This Florida boom is like all that have gone before. It offers won derful opportunity for success, but run ning along with such a possibility there is a wonderful chance of big, in fact, to tal loss.” As a matter of fact ire are convinced that money invested in North Carolina real estate is safer than money invested in Florida dirt. Os course bigger for tunes will be made at times in Florida, but there is more behind the North Car olina investment than there is behind the Florida investment. The Sunshine State depends upon itK sunshine to a large ex tent while North Carolina has climate, re sources, farming, manufacturing and min erals. It is all right for the man with plenty of money to take a fling at the dirt in Florida but the average man will get along better if he invests his savings at borne, especially the Tar Heel. RULES FOR FIGHTING TUBERCU LOSIS. It is necessary, of course, to spend money to cure those persons who have been afflicted with tuberculosis, and it fs the duty of the State and county to spend much money, yet we should give more attention to the prevention of the diseuse than to the cure. Fighting disease is necessary but it is far better to control it. The North Carolina Sanatorium is do ing both. It is offeriug treatment to those persons who are aWcted and at the same time it i* offering timely suggest ions as to how the disease can be avoid ed. An article sent out from the sana torium uiers these statements: “Yon ean avoid tuberculosis by— dimnfwtant! t.ll'K'.-i Bj' *rnu danger' of I “Not spitting yourself or allowing any- I one' about you, sick or well, to spit where | it cannot be burned up or thrown into the sewer. “Admitting sunlight and air to every room in your house or work place, and i keeping these rooms as clean as possible. \ ‘Taking care of your body and those of. your family. Eating good, properly cook ed food, taking a warm bath, once a week, avoiding late hours and dissipation of all kinds, spending as much time as possible out of doors. “Wearing loose, light clothing that does not cramp your lungs. Not stooping youV shoulders or allowing your-chiidren to do so. | V\>, . , y “Not letting your children come in con tact with people who cough, because children take tuberculosis easier than grownups. You need not be afraid of a careful cleanly consumptive, but avoid the careless one and keep your children away from them.” The President has decided that hereaf ter newspaper men when in conference with him shall take down the’r notes in longhand. The shorthand method, the President contends, makes for too many errors. Os course the newspaper men 1 should be careful and should take every precaution to quote the President eor- ] rectly, but we do not remember of any ; oportunity they have had of quoting him. There are no dispatches from Washing ton saying “the President said so and so." The message is always couched in some other language. “It is learned in official quarters,” or “at the White Hhouse one , learns so and so” are the terms used since President Coolidge took over the office. He doesn’t allow himself to be quoted, yet he is very particular to see that the correspondents get everything right. As a matter of fact it seems that it would be easier for the men to make mistakes with longhand than shorthand. With the former they have to be in more of a hurry than with the latter and haste tends toward error. TODAY’S EVENTS Saturday, .June 27, 1925 Centenary of the birth of William Mum ford Backer.

June 26.—The cotton mar ket has advanced during the past week owing to more or less general tendency to scale down ideas of probably end-June crop indications. After selling up to 23.73 for October contracts on Wednes day. prices reacted half a cent or more from the best owing to talk of shower prospects for the southwest and liquida tion incident to the circulation of July notices. The losses were soon recovered, however, and prices made new high ground for the movement today on con tinued complaints of droughty weather in central Texas and bullish private crop figures. The disposition to scale down crop es timates while encouraged by reports of boll weevil in the eastern belt and the continuance of drought in paras of Texas, was due largely to the figures on the par value of the June 25th conditions as published by the department of agricul ture on Wednesday. .These figures showed a decided reduction in the value of par in nearly all the states and, ac cording to local statisticians, suggested that the average value of 100 per cent, of condition on June 25th this year would prove in the neighborhood of 194.5 pounds to the acre compared with 202 pounds last year. Private condition figures published since these pars have reflected the scaling down of yield figures and re ports isssued today pointing to a condi tion of from 73.7 to 75.5 were aceom- • panied by indicated yield calculations ranging from 13,541,000 up to 13,960,- 000 bales. Previously it had been an ticipated that end-June reports would point to a condition of around 75 and a crop indication of over 14,000,0(H) bales. The reduction in the par value is sup posed to have been partly a reflection of the boll weevil situation and a report issued by the bureau of entomology to day stated that the infestation of boll weevil in some Os the eastern belt states was unusually heavy. The first July notiees issued here were estimated at about 100.000 bales, and caused consid erable near month liquidation but the of ferings Were absorbed at a comparatively uioderate discount under October, and July was selling within four or five points of the October price at the end of the week. No improvement has been noted in trade advices from Manchester but indication of rather better business : in the domestic goods market have prob ably contributed to the advance. THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE Published by arrangement with First National Pieturva, Ira. I and Watteraon R. Roth acker. CHARTER All—Continued I *u so stunned by this sudden shock that for a time I must ham nearly lost my reason. | have a vague recollection, as one remem bers s bad dream, of rushing about through the woods all round the empty camp, calling wildly for my companions. No answer came back from tbe-filent shadows. Tbs hor rible thought that 1 might never see them again, that 1 might find myself abandoned all alone in that dreadful glace, with no poeaible way of descending into the world below, that I might live and die In that nightmare .country, drove me to desperation. I could have torn my hair and beaten my head In my despair. Only now did I realise how I had learned to lean upon my comnanlons. upon the serene’ self-confidence of Challenger, and upon the masterful, humorous coolness of Lord John Roxton. Without them 1 wss like a child In the dark, helpless and power less I did not know which way to turn or what 1 should do first. After a period, during which I sat In bewilderment, 1 set myself to try and discover what sudden misfortune could have befallen my companions. The whole disorder ed appearance of the camp showed that there had been some sort of attack, and the rifle-shot to doubt marked the time when it bad oc curred. That there should have been onlj one shot showed that It had been all over In an instant. The rifles still lay upon the ground, and one at them —Lord John’s —bad the empty cartridge in the breech. The blankets of Chall§S)|er and of Summerlee beside tLe fire suggest ed that they had been asleep at the time, The cases of ammunition and of food were scattered abont In a wlldplitter. together with our unfortunate cameras and plate-car riers, but pone of them were miss ing. On the other band, all the ex posed provisions—and I remember ed that there were a considerable quantity of them—were gone. They were animals, then, and not oa , lives, who had made the Inroad, tor surely thff latter would have left nothing behind. But If animals. Or some single terrible animal, then what had be come of comrades t A ferocious beast would surely have destroyed them and ; left their remains. It is true thdt there was that one hideous -pdbl Os blood, which told of violence. Such a monster as had pursued me during the night could have carried away a victim as easily as a cat would a mouse. In that case the others would have followed In pursuit. But then they would assuredly have taken their rifles with them. The mors 1 tried to think it out with my confused and weary brain the less could 1 find any plausible explanation. 1 searched round in the forest, but could see no tracks which could help me to conclusion. Once I lost myself, and It was only by good hick, and after an hour of wander ing. that 1 found the camp ones more. Suddenly a thought came to me and brought some little comfort to my heart I was not absolutsly alone in the world. Down at the bottom of the cliff, and within call of me. was waiting the faithful Zambo. 1 want to the edge of the plateau and looked ever. Sura enough, be was sqnattf'ut among his blankets tesfde IBs fire In his little camp. Cut, to my amuse ment, a second man was seated in frcct of 'him. For an Instant my heart leaped tor Joy, as I thought that one of my comrades had mads his way safely flown. But a sec ond glance dispelled the hope. The rising sun shone red upon the man’s akin. He was an Indian. ~1 shouted loudly and waved my hand kerchief. Presently Zatnbo looked up, waved Ms hand, and turned to ascend the pinnacle, in a short time he wag standing doss to me and listening with deep distress to the story which I told him. “Devil got them for euro, Msssa Malone," said be. "You got Into the devil’s country, sah. and ho tako yon all to himself. Too take •dvlc* Mass* Malone, and some down tulclf. else he get you os welL* 4 fr: "How ean t come down, Sambo?" "You get oroepers from trees. Masse Malone. Throw thorn over here. I make feat to this slump, and to you have bridge. “We have thought of that. There are no creepers hers which could bear ua." . "Send for ropes. Masse Malone." “Who can I send, and whorer "Send to Indian village, sah. Plenty hlderopo In bidtan village. Indian down below: send him." “Who Is ho<" "On# of our Indians.

Ready notv to take letter, bring rope,—any woo for Seianco should reach ; our !'■ ' - • - ■; ' pletefl letter* already waiting, t would spend the day Is writing s third, which would bring my ex periences absolutely up to date. The Indian could' bear this back to the world. I ordered Sambo, therefore, to corns again to the evening and I spent my miserable and lonely day In recording my own adventures the night be fore. I also drew up a note, to be given to any white merchant or captain of a steam-boat whom the Indian could find. Imploring them to see that ropes were sent to us, since our lives must depend upon It. These documents I threw to Zambo In the evening, and also my purse, which contained three Eng lish sovereigns. These were to be to the Indian, and he was Jjjjl “Quick, young fellah! Quick!" he. cried. “Every moment counts." promised twice as much it he re turned with tbe ropes. 7 So now you will understand, my dear Mr. McArdle. bow this com munication reaches you. and you will also know the truth. In case you never bear again from your unfortune te correspondent. To- , night 1 am too weary and too de pressed to make my plans. Tomor row I must think out some way by which l shall keep In touch with this camp, and yet search round for any traces of my unhappy, friends. CHAPTER XIII “A Sight which I shall Never For get” Just as the sun was setting upon that melancholy night I taw the lonely figure of the Indian upon the vast plain beneath me, and I watch* td him, our one faint hope of sal vation, until he disappeared In the rising mists of evening which lay, rose-tinted from the setting sun, between tbe far-off river and me. It wsb quite dark when I at last turned back to our stricken camp, and my last vision as I went was the red gleam of Zambo's' fire, the one point of light in the wide world below, as was bis faithful presence in my own shadowed souL And yet I felt happier than I bad dona since this crushing blow had fallen npon ate, for it was good to think that the world should know what we had done, so that at the worst ear names should not perish with our bodies, but should go down to posterity associated with the re sult of our labors. It was an awesome thing to sleep la that ill-fated camp; and yet it »u e*en meie unnerving to do go is the Jungle, time cr the ‘other It must be. Prudence, cm tom one hand, warned me that I should r»> main on guard, but exhausted aim „ tore, on the other, declared that I should do nothing at the kind. I climbed up on a to a limb at the great glagko tree, but there waa no secure perch on its rounded sur face, and 1 should certainly have fallen off and broken my neck the moment I began to doze. I got down, therefore, and pondered over what I should do. Finally, I closed • the door of the carets, Ut three - separate fires in a triangle, and haring eaten a hearty sapper dropped off Into a profound sleep, from which I had a strange and most welcome awakening, to the early morning. Just as day warn breaking, a hand was laid upon lay arto. and starting up, with nil my nerves to a tingle end my hand feeling for a rifle.
