Charlotte police officers now are conducting a campaign to educate pe destrians as to the proper way and ■time to cross streets. It was said that recently ■ many thousand jay walkers were detected on Charlotte streets, each one of them endangering , his life and making the tasks of auto drivers more difficult. The problem that faces Charlotte faces every other city. It is as hard to educate the pedestrian as it is the auto driver. The burden of proof is always left with the motorist where ' as in many instances the 'many on foot are to blame. The average auto driver lias been taught to watch the traffic signs, but up to the present pedestrians have not - been taught this lesson. They seem to think they can crass the streets anywhere at any time, many of them assuming an arrogant attitude to ward motorists. As a matter of fact ‘ they have uo more privileges than the auto driver and they should lie - as enreftil to observe the law as the man at. the wheel. Persons should not cross the streets except at street crossings in congested areas and when they cross at cross ings they should watch the signs and go in the same direction as the autos. If auto traffic is open north and south pedestrians should not try to cross from east to west. They could go north and south in all safety for then they will be going with the autos. Still, it is a hard matter to make the public see this, and undoubtedly many accidents are caused by pedestrians • although in most instances an effort is made to lay the blame at the door of the motorist. BETTER BUSINESS IN TEX- A TILES. Cotton mill men are more optimis ■Nc, although business with them is not Hi that could be desired. In most in-1 stances cotton mill stocks are on the increase in price, ever an indication that business is better. The analyst of The Textile’ World has this to say of conditions with the textile indus try : 1. An increase in business activ ity and higher average price levels are . •forecast for the second half of 1925. . 2. Increased earnings in the tex tile industry and higher prices for tex tile securities will develop during the same period. The textile industry nearly always follows closely the general trend of business. If the foregoing conclus-, ions axe sound, therefore, there is good I reason to believe that the improve jjd ineut which has been forecast will be shared by the manufacturers of tex- K been at any time in years. It is not <k>wn to the level*of whotewile distri butiou of dry goods: (2) that the ; Wholesale, bait lien ! ' ’ 5 steady since October last" year: and (ft) . that department store trade is rising toward the level of wholesale dry f goods sales. MUSCLE SHOALS AN ASSET r NOW. > The government is using Muscle • Shoals now to aid some sections that are suffering from lack of water. Power development at the giant plant has been turned loose to aid indus trial plants which have been foreed to suspend operations through lack of power, the power companies finding it practically impossible to keep up full schedules with water so low. v We think the government.can find no better use for its plant at Muscle Shoals. Under conditions as they now the the power generated at the plant is sent out to help industry, thus aiding thousands of employes of industrial plants who otherwise would be idle. That should be the real pur pose of government property. The government may lease part of Shoals property at some future day. but it is to be hoped that the power plant will be retained so it can be used to the greatest advantage. Os course if the plant were leased to some private company it could serve the same purpose perhaps, but it should be stipulated in any lease that in case of emergency, such as the country is now experiencing, power can be sent from the plant to other power stations whirl) are in need of aid. FURTHER CURTAILMENT BY INDUSTRIAL PLANTS Suspend, Operations Two Days In stead of One.—ls Result of the Drought. Charlotte, Aug. 29.—The unprece dented drought is exerting an increas ingly important effect toward disor ganizing industry in the Carolinas, and the Southern Power Company's headquarters here tonight announced that the shortage of hydro electric power made necessary a decision to require industries of the Carolinas to •suspend operations two days per week. efe*t¥ves-nrxt .Thursday. A curtailment program requiting in dustrials to suspend one day each week became effective last Wednes day and has been found "insufficient,” according to Charles I. Burkholder, vice president of the company. Livingston’s Cotton Letter. New York, Aug. 31.—The bearish sentiment which was in evidence on* the declines of the lust week appear ed to have gained strength if any* thing over the week-end. It was pro moted by relatively easy Liverpool cables. reiHirts that hedging orders hail accumulated over Sunday and .possibly by one of the private esti mates placing the condition of the crop at 61.3 and the indicated yield at 14,955,000 bales. This crop indica tion was not bussed on government pars and was accompanied by a state ment that the government’s Septem ber report might show a yield indica tion of around 14,200,000 bales, but it evidently made some impression ou sentiment arid the early afternoon selling was -timulnted by reports of au easing spot basis in the south west. December sold off to 22.10 and eh.ed at 22.18- with the general mar ket showing net declines of about 40 to 47 lMsints. Jt seemed possible to execute lorge orders without greatly affecting prices today and it looks as if some of the larger recent sellers were taking profits on part of their cotton. Technically the position of the market must have strengthened materially since the beginning of last week, but it does not yet seem able to sustain the weight of bearish senti ment in speculative circles and the increase in hedging.

He refused to believe it; and he goaded himself to approach with- 1 out hesitation the door of the little i cottage. Nevertheless, something < cautioned furtiveness and steahh I when he had his hand on the k&Ob; ‘ some latent instinct of suspicion, that he was ashamed of but weakly , obeyed. , From the hall he could see, with out himself being observed, through I to the dining room and thence to tb* I kitchen, the doors being open in ' deference to the humidity of ths i summer night. Caroline was carry- < ing a frosted birthday cake, which I she had obviously just completed, < into the dining room; Jim walked i close at her side. . Bob realized with 1 a quceTly hollow thumping in 1 breast, which seemed tight and peaked, that there could be no mis- i taking the tender devotion in the i way Jim hovered near Caroline; in 1 the way his eyes shone upon her. As Caroline set the cake down on the table she. noticed with a little gasp of'dismiy that a portion of the 1 soft floating was cascading over the rim of the plate; it was an emergen cy that required the quick and deft use of a practised forefinger in order j to save the table linen from bring ■ messed. Then Caroline, laughingly ■ Invcffved, determined to round off 1 the mishap with full childish enjoy- 1 ment. She raised her cream laden 1 finger to her lips to “lick it.” But Jim was too quick for her; he caught her hand to his own lips, and ' kissed the frosting away in a man- : ner dissembled in dun at first, but ' under the passionately desired thrill of the contact quickly becoming an yrdent caress. \ Demonstration in Fosesty Work.

J Bob relaxed limply, stolidly, ag [ ainst the hallway wall as one ill and ' in a stupor. Through rmdted eyes, with ears that were fitted by ri far off buzzing, Bob saw and hrard fur ther confirmation of his worst fears. Jim was showing Caroline how he had arranged the place cards; “Bob and his gcftrl over there. You, and Bobby, and I, rat this side— Bobby in die fflittdk—No, I’ll change that yon fat the middle, so (fast I can he rioter to you—" Hut wrath Bob law and heard. Aeaia Caroline’s renetiou was lost on him, far while she reprovingly changed the carts back to their ori ginal position and insisted to Jim that Bobby was eatflM to the place of honor in die middle of the table, Bob bad tiptoed away along the hall, •Wiring the sednsfoo of his own room and a free play ot bit bitter thoughts. “Hqy, Daddy Bob—where you | IriQiUg?

The clown must amuse, even ! when his heart bfoaks! Bobby fled squealing joyously in- ' to the dining room before Bob s J leaping, booing, pursuit; fled, and took refuge under Caroline’* apron that When Bob straightened up anff removed the ptask in order to fat his bearings he found himself de to fece,.gad eye to setd eye, with Caroline. He tried to laugh and ef fect merriment, but pnly succeeded in forcing a series of flat and spirit less laughs that hardly passed his throat. The embarassment of Caroline and Bob after they had nodded good-evening to one another was mutual and deep; she lowered her eyes and flushed cheeks to the talk of setting five candles in the birth day cake, while he grtapto) at Jim in an apathetic way thfe sank to his knees and took refuge fn a fuss ily boisterous presentation-of birth day gifts to Bobby. "Bob, you rascal, postpone your comedy and stand up here and tell us where your girl is. Why haven’t you brought her?” Bob, rising deliberately, was nps erably conscious that Caroline, though she kept her eyes on her work, was intently listening. He tried to take solace in an aggrieved, injured ralionifization—if he bad not come clean with her, she had not been fair with him, either, in not telling him about Jim, and— “ Come, old man, ’fess up—who is she and where is she? The one I saw you kissing the other night!" There, k was out; Jim's innocent blundering and misinterpretation had woven, in company with all these other things, a net of circum- , stantial evidence from which he could wriggli totally dear neither ter lies nor by troth. Anyhow, what - <Bd it matter now?—again, in the innermost recesses of hfe brain wqf« echoing the words, “What the hell difference doss anytMftg make?” Yet, why was there a dull red gh»w in Caroline's downcast chseks, and a dewy mist trembling on her half closed lashes? "Why err-sw I don't 'know whnt you mean, Jim—honestly—Excuse me now, won’t yon please— l’ve got to wash up and dress " Bob felt rather than saw his way wretchedly out of the room, moving with the uncertain feet of a blinded man. Caroline had looked up quick ly at his words, thrilling to a funda mental suggestion of honesty aid sincerity in them; grasping at them as at straws to saws her drowning , soul. - Perhaps Jhn had been mis taken in his identification—it was S, if such a romance had been • on and no one in Crater City knew anything about it.
