CAROLINAS DESERVE RECOGNI TION. gome months ago a number of bankers in the Carolinas started a movement which they hoped would reult in the es , tablishment of a branch bank of the Fed -1 eral ResoiVe System in the Carolinas. Various statistics were preared and pre sented to the controlling officers of the reserve system: experts reported that business in the two States warranted the establishment of the bank: other phases of the matter were thoroughly in vestigated. However, it was the opinion of tile reserve system officials that such a bank is not needed. Interest in the matter is renewed with the announcement that Senator Carter Glass has become interested in behalf of the Carolinas. He gave liis endorsement to the movement and promises to lend such aid as he can. v His influence may be just What Jms been needed by bankers in the two States. Senator Glass was' one of the men who had a large part in the establishment of the federal reserve system and he is in timately acquainted with the financial questions involved. In addition he is a native of Virginia, has banking acquaint ances throughout the two States and is in position to know well the financial needs of this section. Interviewed on the subject the other day in Spartanburg. Senator Glass stat ed without reservation his conviction that the Carol : nas are clearly entitled to a branch of the Reserve System and he pledged himself to do all in his power to aid the bankers of the Carolinas who have not given ap their campaign for the establishment of the branch bank. Senator Glass laid great emphasis on the industrial growth of the Carolinas in the past two years and the consequent financial power that has come into the possession of these sister States. He de clared that these manifestations of wealth and prestige could not be overlooked in passing upon tile request for recognition of these States by the Reserve Board Governors. anothercoaiTistrike? As summer reaches its peak there comes annual threat of a coal strike. I Already it is said the miners will quit in the sole coal fields about September first unless they are given more wages, and apparently the mine operators are determined not to grant any more wage demands. In fact, it is rumored that the operators will be more liable to cut the wages if any changes in the present wage schedule are made. There is never a coal strike iu the summer. The miners realize, of course, that a strike in the summer months would prove a failure so they wait until v cold washer appro aches to make their demand**. 9ke operators on the other hand, had rather have the strike in cold weather tpo, .for if such v condition ex against‘the'uiiious and that public opin at^the^be ginning of the full season gives the oper ator another excuse to raise the coal prices. Coal is always cheaper in sum- mer when there is less demand for it. yet it costs just as much to mine it then as it .does in the winter. -—A- U'P-! IT’S A CHRONIC WITH SOME PEW PIE. The Charlotte Observer notices editor ially that Senator Reed,, of Missouri, has very much to say now about'President Coolidge. The same streak in the Sena tor that made him criticise and despise' President Wilson has made him irttfr very bitter denunciations of the present Chief Executive. There is nothing strange about this after all. Senator Reed is just one of those unfortunate persons who are al ways against the man in power. He is a destructive force first, last and always. At a Democratic conference in Missouri some dayij ago the Senator was present and he made it a point to give his views of the President. He said there is “as great a difference between the Coolidge of faet and the Coolidge of fiction as there is between an oil field prospectus display ing a gusher, and the barren hole in the ground which in fact does not exist.” There are people like this. No one ever pleases them, yet they have a cer tain power that keeps them in office. STATE BAR ASSOCIATION MEETS IN ASHEVILLE First Session Tonight.—Meeting to Con tinue Through Friday. Asheville.

CHAPTER Xlll—Continued Summerlee was' sitting up and stuffing soma tobacco Into his old briar. “We’ve got to she them safe,' said he, .“You’ve pulled us all out ot the Jaws of death. My wordl It viaaa good bit of work!” “Admirable! ” cried Challenger. “Admirable! Not only we as In dividuals. but European science col lectively, owe you a deep debt ot gratitude for what you have done. I do not hesitate to say that the disappearance of Professor Sum msrlec and myself would have left an appreciable gap In modern zoo logical history. Our young friend here and you have done most ex cellently well." He beamed at us with the old paternal smile, but European sci ence would have been somewhat amazed could they have seen their chosen chHd, the hope of the fu ture, with his tangled, unkempt head, his bare chest, and his tat tered clothes.- He had one of the meat-tins between his knees, and sat with a large piece of cold Aus tralian mutton between his fin gers. The Indian looked up at him, and then, with a little yelp, cringed to the ground and clung to Lord John’s leg. “Don't you be scared, my bonnle boy,” said Lord John, patting the matted head in front of. him. “He can’t stick your appearance, Chal lenger; and, by George! 1 don't wonder. All right, little chap, he's only a human, just the same as the rest of us." “Really, sir!" cried the Profes sor. “Well, it’s lucky for ycil. Chal lenger. that you are a little out of the ordinary. If you hadu3: been so like the king ’’ “Upon my word. Lord John, you allow yourself great latitude.” “Well, it’s a fact" “I beg, sir, that you will change the subject. Your remarks arc Irrelevant and unintelligible. The question before us is wliat aie we to do with these Indians? The ob vious thing Is to escort thorn home, if we knew where their homo was." “There fs* no difficulty about that," said f. “They live in the caves on the other side of the cen tral lake.” “Our young friend here knows where they live. 1 gather that it is some distance.” “A-good-twenty miles." said 1. Summerloe gave a groan. “I, fop one, could never get there. Surely I hear those brutes still howling upon onr track." As he spoke, from the dark re cesses of the woods we heard far away the'jibbering cry of the ape men. The Indians once more set up a feeble wail of fear. “We must move, and move quick!" wiid * Lord John. “You help Summerlee. young fellah. The Professor ... proceeded to lec ture upon h|m as if he were a pot ted specimen in a class-room. These Indians will carry stores. Now, then, come along before they can see us." . In less than half-an-hour we had reached our brushwood retreat and concealed dutwelves. All day we heard the excited calling of the spa-men in the direction of ear old camp, but none of them came our way, and the tired fugitives, red and white, had a long, deep sleep. I was dozing myself In the eve ning when someone plucked my sleeve, and I found Challenger kneeling bealdi me. "You keep a diary of these events, and you expect eventually to publish it, Mr. Malone,” said he. with solemnity, "I am only hero aa a Press re porter,” I answered. “Exactly. You may have heard Boms' rather fatuous remarks of Lord John Roxton’a which seemed to imply that there wee some— •T any pnhllel to «Mh an ldaa—«ny^|es'' k£#p well' within the - : v - ■ most absurd reasons to the respset which is always show p by the most undeveloped races to dignity and character. You follow my mean ing?" “Entirely." “I leave the matter to your dis cretion." Then, after a long panse, he added: “The king of the ape men was really a creature of great distinction —a most remarkably handsome and Intelligent personal ity. Did it not strike you?" "A most remarkable creature,” said L And the Professor, much eased In his mind, settled down t<s his slumber once more. CHAPTER XIV “Those Were the Real Conquests" We had imagined that our pur suers, the ape-men, knew nothing of our brushwood hiding-place, but we were soon to find out our mis take. There was no sound in the woods—not a leaf moved upon the trees, and all was peace around us —but we should have been warned by our first experience bow cun ningly and how patiently these creatures can watch and wait until their chance comes. Whatever fate may be mine throfigh life, I am very sure that I shall never be nearer death than I was that morn ing. But I will tell you the thing in its due order. S We all awoke exhausted after the terrific emotions and scanty food of yesterday. Summerlee was still so weak that it was an effort ~ for him to stand; but the old man was full of a sort of surly couragp which would never admit defeat A council was h«id, and it wax agreed that we should wait quietly for an hour or two where we were, have our muqh-needed breakfast, and then make our way across the plateau and round the central lake to the caves where aSy observa tions had shown that the Indiana lived. We relied upon the fact that we rould count upon the good word of these whom we had rescued to ensure a warm welcome from their fellows. Then, with our mis sion accomplished and possessing a fuller knowledge of the secret* of Maple White Land, we should turn our whole thoughts to tha vital problem of our escape and ra turn. Even Challenger was reads to ndnitt that we should then have done all for which we had come, and that cur first duty from that time onwards was to carry back to .civilization the amazing dIF coveries wc had made. We were able now to take a more leisurely view of the Indians whom we had rescued. They were small men. wiry, active and well-built, with lank black hair tied ug in a bunch behind tjielr heads with 9 leathern thong, and leathern also were (heir loin clothes. Their faces were hairless, well-formed, and good-humored. The lobes of their ears, hanging ragged and bloody, showed that they had been pierced for some ornaments which their captors had torn out. Their speech, though unintelligible to us, was fluent among themselves, and as they pointed to each other and ut tered the word "Accala” many times over, we gathered that this was the aa. is of the nation. Oc casionally, with faces which were convulsed with fear and hatred, they shook their clenched hands at the woods round and cried “Doda! Doda!" which was surely their term for their enemies. "What do you make of them. Challenger?” asked Lord John. "One thing is very clear to me, and that is that the little chap with the front of his head shaved Is a chief among them.” It was Indeed evident that this man stood apart from the others, and that they never ventured to address him without every sign ot deep respect. He seemed to be the youngest of them all, and yet. so proud and high was his spirit that, upon Challenger laying bit great hand upon his head, he start ed like a spurred horse and, with a quick; flash of his dark eyea, moved further away from'the Pro fessor. Then, placing his hand upon his breast and holding him self with great dignity, he uttered the word “Maretas" several times. The Professor, unabashed, seised the nearest Indian by the shoulder and proceeded to lectors upon him as ts he ware a potted specimen in a class-room. “The type ot these people," said he Ip his sonorous fashion, “whether Judged by cranial capaci ty, faclAl angle, or any other teat, cannot ba regarded as a low oae; on the contrary, we must place it as considerably higher la the scale niß)r South Amuiieun tribes which I can mantitß.
