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millions of dollars had been withdrawn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.

Weekly Cotton Review.
New York. 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

"You get oroepers from trees.

“We have thought of that. There
are no creepers hers which could

"Send for ropes. Masse Malone."
“Who can I send, and whorer

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

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. I gave a Cry of
joy as la the cold gray light I saw
