VVftiRE WILL THEY G« IN THE
FUTURE?
One cannot drive about the country now ,
without wondering what is to be done with
the automobiles in the future. The prin
cipal highways are filled with them now:
parking space goes at a premium in all
moderately large cities: yet the industry
is still in its infancy.
The United States just lacks 3.000.000 I
cars now of having an auto for every
family within, its borders. Figures
made from conservative estimates place
the number of families at 27.000,000 and
other figures show that 2-1.000,000 cars
have been built. Os this total about 17,-
000,000 or TO pee cent, of the total, are
in use now.
In the face of these figures we find the
manufacturers turning out the cars by
the thousands each day. In spite of the
vast percentage of the original makes
that are still in use thousands are being
made and sold. There seems to be no
end to the purchasing power of the Am
erican people.
FOR THE BENEFIT OF NEGROES.
Tuskegee Institute, which keeps tab
on siieh matters, estimates that negroes
in the United States are worth about $2.-
000.000,000. a total three times as great
as the 1012 total. Negro education, ac
cording to these figures, how costs $40.-
000,000 as compared with $13,000000 in
1013. Up to that year 5,060 negroes
had completed college courses and dur
ing the past 12 years that total has dou
bled.
And as the negroes have been educated
on a larger scale they have taken more in
terest ih their sanitation and health
conditions. This is shown by the fact
that the negro death rate since 1012 has
decreased from 22 to 15 per thousand,
and the span of life has increased from
41 to 40 years.
NOW 18 THE TIME TO FIGHT THE
WEEVIL.
Governor McLean, who has attained
some success as a business-man farmer,
urges the farmers of the State to put up
a determined fight against the boll wee
vil. It is said the Governor was very
successful in fighting the weevil on his
own farm, and he briteves the other
farmers in the State ean have similar
success if they will tadfcto the JW6 soon
enough and with enough determination.
In some sections of this State farmer*
report the biggest weevil crop in history.
The Spartanburg Sun says reports con
tinue to come in from the eastern section
of South Carolina to the effect that the
weevil infestation is the greatest ever
known. Farmers in Barnwell county re
port that negrly every stalk in their fields
is jsiinilar: reports come from
. The Gastonia Gazette think* the farm-
f era of the Piedmont section should pre
pare: for,a campaign against the insect.
, “The boll weevil has not been reported in
the Piedmont, but It will come a little
later,” says. The Gastonia paper, “for
there is no reason to suppose this sec
tion will escape, and the farmers had
■Just as well begin getting ready for it.
Those who have planted cotton must pro
(tect it. i Using the poisoning methods
may take all of the anticipated profits or
the greater part of ft, but it is better to
do'this and come out even than to have
Ia complete loss.” •’ •» »;•*"
The weevil has already reached sec
(tions of the Piedmont. ' It has reached
; Cabarrus county, not in as large num
| bers as in some sections, but it is here
all right and it must be fought. While
the poison does cost much it will not take
all of the profits and as it is the best
method yet adopted, it should be resorted
to without delay in those sections where
it is needed.
Post and Flagg's Cotton Letter-
New' York, July 7?—The cotton' mar
ket has been chiefly under the influence
of disappointing advices from Texas and
fear that deficiency of subsoil moisture
might make itself felt in some other im
portant states in the next thirty day’s
or so. There is also the ever-present
apprehension as to the amount of damage
that the weevil may do in the eastern
belt, especially if the present showery
weather continues. *
There is just enough that is good in
crop and weather advices to fester the
hope of a really large crop add just
enough that is bad to inspire uncertain
ty on that subject so that trading either
way is cramped and the usual disposi
tion manifested to wait and see what the
next report says and so on endlessly.
Today the tendency has been to cover
shorts and. as contracts, save for what
speculative sellers are willing to fur
nish are in scanty supply, prices have ad
vanced moderately. Advances, however,’
attract more or less realizing, together
with selling for a turn by local operators
and whenever demand from shorts tapers
off. prices sag to some extent.
The real question is whether crop and
trade conditions will change sufficiently
to start a buying movement by the trade
which will follow prices up. Something
of that sort seems essential before re
coveries will be safe to follow for any
distance. For the present buyers will
410 well to await favorable opportunities
and not overlook fair profits, but the
short side does not look attractive.

Dry Enforcement’ Talks of the Women

Washington. July 7,—Laying down *
policy in prohibition work. Aftsistinf-
Secretary Andrews, of the treasury, has
ordered the discontinuance of speeches
by women agents of the prohibition unit
designed ns educational efforts to create
sentiment for law enforcement.
As a result of the order, Miss Georgia
Hopley. of Rucyrus, 0.. who was as
signed by Commissioner Haynes to work
among women's organizations, has re

Great Ram Armada Is Being Mobilized.
Buffalo, July 7.—The Buffalo Evening

armada ever seen in Lake Ontario is mo
bilized and loading at Port Colborne.
Oat., for a dash to the dry frontiers of

DINNBK STORIES ’
He Kept His Word.
J .The little jnan 'of the club. his . back
! supported by the mantleehelf, was talk-
I ing about Ireland, and he said manj hard
things concerning the country and peo
; pic.
A big man stood by listening to the
other's vaporings. He smiled occasion
ally until the little man said in a very
loud tone:
“Show me an Irishman and I'll show
you a coward.”
The big man touched the little man <fu
the sleeve and said in a heavy bass voice:
“What's that you sgid?”
“*l said, show me an Irishman and I’ll
show yon a coward,” replied the little
man, whose knees were shaking under
hhn. i '
“Well,, I am an Irishman.” ,
“You are an Irishman? < Well”—and
a smile of joy fitted over the little man’s
face as he saw a hole through which he
could crawl—“l am a coward.”
Initial Wanted.
Most of the real humor in the world is
entirely unconscious. Those who try
to be smart are not half as. funny as
those who seek to be or seri
ous. .
Take, for instance, the lobby of a ho
tel. A bellboy answered “Front” and
then started on his lengthy round of din
ing room, ballroom, lounge, calling Mr.
Zeddikowski, Mr. Zeddikowski, Mr. Zed
dikowski,” until his tongue got all tangled
up.
Finally he completed the circle to back
whore he started from and for the fif
tieth and last time he shouted “Mr. Zed
dikowski.”
As he turned back toward the desk
with a sigh, a small voice from the cor
ner piped up: “What initial, please?”
Stow Service.
The waiter was exceedingly slow and
the diner began to get annoyed.
"Look here, waiter,” he said at last,
“bring me a cup of coffee, and while
you're away don't forget to drop me a
line occasionally, just to let me know
how you're getting on.”
Pole Taddieum’s Symptoms.
“I believe Poie Taddicpm is figgering
ion getting married or something of the
sort,” said the landlord of the Petunia
tavern.
“What makes you think so?" asked
Burt Blurt.
"Well, he was a good checker player
no longer than a month ago, but now
instead of playing the game he just
funters w ithit. Sometimes he won't
play more than two hours until he says
he’s tried and quits. Os course, a feller
is allowed to do a reasonable amount
of studying before making a move, but
sometimes Pole will set and stare at the
board for half an hour if you don’t
poke him, and not make a move. Yes,
sir: as sure as you’re born, he is either
thinking about getting married or else
is afraid he's got an incurable disease.”
Only About Ninety Thousand Stone
Mountain Coins Sold.
Raleigh. July ”7.—Ninety thousand
Stone Mountain half dollars is the re
sult of Pile first and great campaign, ac
cording to messages which have tteen re
ceived in Raleigh relative to the effort
to make the memorial go under commit
tee direction.
It is now understood that private en
terprise is to get behind it in the shape
of a few members of the committee which
distinguished itself by getting Stone
Mountain in the great snarl. The story
of fall-down in the sale of the coin,
minted generously by a government which
did not believe in what Stone Mountain
commemorates, has not been officially re
ceived. but there are people in Raleigh
who have had direct knowledge of it.
