Errors Do Creep Into the Paper. Sam Miller, up *t Mineral Wells, in Western North Carolina where the crazy waty flows uninterruptedly, ad mits there was an error in his news paper the other day, and in apologis ing for it said: “Oh. yes. We know there were some errors in yesterday's paper. We’ll agree further that there were some few errors in the iaspe the day before, but before balling us out too unmercifully about it we want to call your attention to these facts: In an ordinary column there are 40.000 letters, and there are seven pos sible wrimg positions for each letter, making 70,000 chance* to make errors and sever! million chances for transpo sitions.

One month’s treatment of . this medicine has done more for me than all the other medicines that I have ever taken in my life, and for this reason I gladly add my name to your list of en dorsers,” said Mr. Albert Goodman, val ued employee of the Locke Cotton MiHs, Concord, N.

Continuing his statement to the HERB JUICE representative, Mr. Goodman add ed: “I had suffered so much from stom ach trouble and constipation, and had taken so mnch medicine withont getting any real relief, I had about decided thnt* it was no use to hope for ever being weH again. I was greatly surprised to find that the first bqttle would help me no much and make such a great change in my general health. After using it for several days the gaa pains stopped, my bowels becaiqe regular, liver more active and I commenced to gain in weight and strength from the first day I started taking HERB JUICE. Now Rinre I have taken it for over a month I have been completely relieved of the indiges tion after eating. I have no • trace of constipation and now I am once more en joying good health.

She too. was a .offerer from indigestion, also had weak spells and nervousness, but HERB JUICE re lieved her of theoe ailments and today she and I are in the best of health and we unhesitatingly, lire HERB JUICE credit for it.

CUT BUS TRAFFIC BETWEEN N. C. CITIES Four of Seven Lines Between Charlotte and Greensboro to Get Licemea. Raleigh. June 30.—Kirk’s Auto Bus Service, the Charlotte-Concord Bus Line, the Royal Blue Transportation Company, Ric., and the Blue Star Bus Line will be awarded licenses certifi cates to operate between Charlotte and Greensboro if they present between now and August 1 title to equipment to: satisfactorily maintain serviee on this line, it was announced by the Corpora tion Commission in an order made pub lic yesterday. The same order requires the Piedmont Stage Line, Inc., the Dixie Motor Coach Line, Inc., and the (White Bus Line to show to the Comtnissioin the public con venience and necessity for the service each is now maintaining at a hearing here at ten o’clock on August 1 or cense operating. A survey Os the service maintained by the seven lines by the Commission shows that, all the lines except the Piedmont Stage Line. Inc., arc losing money. The order states that the sur vey shows “that under the present ar rangement too many miles are operated per carrier for the revenue received and that the present service exceeds the present public convenience and necessity and that the serviee should be reduced. Taking such action has been deferred from time to time because of reported negotiations between some of the car riers which was said to be with a view to consolidation.” The tour lines which will be granted the license certificates are the original operators. The round trips made by the several lines in the aggregate ran to 26, each 30 minntes apart. Kirk’s Anto Bus ser vice ran eight. Piedmont Stage Line, Inc., ran seven. Charlotte-Concord Bus Line, three; Dixie Motor Coach, In corporated, four; White Bus Line one; Blue Star Bus line, two and Royal Blue Transportation. Inc., two. “There appears to be an excess of equipment upofi the line," the commis sion says. “soii|e of which is inadequate because of six* and some because of age, and for that reason it was doubt ful whether this undersised and old equipment could ever be profitably operated, but to eliminate it would probably deprive some of the owners of their only means of making a living.” Cost Per Mile Too Great. The commiission then observed that Kirk’a Anto Bus service is said to have been the original operator between Sallisbury and Kannapolis, the Blue Star Bus line between High Point and Thomaaville-Lexlngton, the Charlotte Concord Bus line between Charlotte and Concord, the Boyal Bine Transportation company. Incorporated, between Greens boro and High Point. These all were alleged to have been original lines. The Piedmont State line Incorporated “was originally intended to have been a com bination' of pooled equipment of the original carriers on this line, and in ad dition thereto four busses of the United State lines, incorporated.” The 'Kirk, the Charlotte and the United Stage lines, incorporated, however, were the only compinies becoming parties of this arrangement. ■ The commission then shows that 341 trips over 33,576 miles carried 5,918 paaaeogers for • revenue of 34,971.01 with an approximate cost of $0,043.38, or a loss of $1,124-19.

Taking such action has been deferred from time to time because of reported negotiations between some of the carriers which was said to be with a view to consolidation.” WOULDN’T STAY PUT. The Pathfinder. Every once in a while we read where some person has been buried alive. Un fi rtunately but few of these victims be come active in time to be let out of their graves; the burial party almost al ways gets in its work and the mourners leave before evidence turns up showing that the burial was somewhat premature. Recently a man in Ohio was pronounc ed dead nnd the undertaker was allowed to have his way. The day lor the burial arrived and the man in the coffin was still apparently dead. There seemed to be no reason why he Rhould not be buried, so he was taken to the cemetery and lowered into the freshly dug hole amidst outpour ings of grief. As is customary on such occasions, the minister officiating said, many wonderful things about the deceaseds character. Such things had never before i be«i spoken of him; even his own relatives heard for the first time. And when the minis ter was all through, apparently the man hud never done an ill deed in his life, for nothing derogatory to his character had even been inferred. Then the first shov elful of dirt was raised in midair and ev erything about was as quiet as the grave. “Rap, rap, tap; tap. rap, rap.” A methodical aifd determined knocking was heard—the grave was no longer quiet; neither were the spectators. “Tap, tap, tap; rap, rnp, tap.” Chills ran up and down all spiites concerned, and faces grew clammy. There was no doubt where, the noise came from. Some strong soul volunteered to descend into the grave and BETTER CLEANING RESULTS Are obtained when your garments are thoroughly dust ed before Cleaned or pressed.

Then, Great Balls of Flame, out stepped the “corpse” —all smiles. After the first great shock wore off everyone crowded about the once “dead" mnn and congratulated him on his narrow escape. • The ‘.‘corpse” explained that he was sorry to disappoint everybody but that when his senses returned to him down there in that strange and unpromising pit lie didn't like the idea of being buried while his wife was still so young and would likely marry again soon after the flowers on his grave had decayed. The man's wife fainted on the spot. Polite Warfare. The Chinese have always placed polite ness first and foremost in their classifica tion of human virtues. An amusing in stance of the observance of this rule comes from Peking, where during the fighting outside the city recently, a foreigner was frequently disturbed in his sleep by the night operations of a battery firing near 'his house. Finally, in desperation, he sent his servant to the battery commander to ex plain the nnnoyance he was causing and asked him to “stop the war.” The com mander at first refused, explaining he had orders to fire all through the night,) but on a personal application from the sleep less foreigner, who urged persistent flb ing would undobutedly nrovoke retalia tion from the enemy fiireily agreed and ordered his gunners to desist. At a lecture the speaker orated fer vently ; “He drove straight to his goal. He looked neither to the right nor to the left, but pressed forward, moved by a definite purpose. Neither friend nor foe could delny him or turn him from his course. All who crossed his path did so at their own peril. What would you call such a man? - ’ “A truck driver,” shbuted a voice from the audience. If you want to make friends, the sure way i« to make no enemies.
