While the general health record of ~riip* uui«Miiaris)|iuwwo* 'urwii'tJiUfc ed States and - Canada is improving, homicides, death by' accident, and deaths from cirrhoais of the liver, closely associated with alcoholism arc increasing, according to an analysis of the death rate for the first six months of 1925 of the Industrial pol icy holders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, who number more than sixteen million. Alcoholism aside from poisoning by | wood and denatured alcohol, was the P reported cause of 230 deaths during the first six months of the current year, with a death rate of 2.8 per 100,000, says the Company’s latest Statistical Bulletin. This may bd compared with 236 deaths for, the same period of 1924, with a death rate of 3. Deaths from wood and denatured al cohol poisoning, however, increased to 15 as compared with 8 during the first half of 1924. Those from cirrhosis of the liver rose from 475 last year to 548 this year. In the three and one-half-y«ar pe riod, January 1, 1922, to June 30, 1925, the deaths of 1,402 industrial policyholders have been charged to al coholism, of which 1,388 occurred in the United States and only 14 in Can ada. The homicide rate shows a sharp increase, while the death rate for sui cides has declined. Automobile fatalities continue to show a rising death rate, indicating that, despite the renewed efforts of various agencies interested in public safety, no impression is being made on the unfavorable record for these casualties. WILL HAVE ITS EFFECT; h An Illinois policeman was sentenc- P ed to fourteen years’ imprisonment for firing on a car which was not stop ped at his command, the shot killing the occupanh In affirming the de cision, the higheer court set forth a rule that should be called to the at tention of every police officer in the country. It said that “except In self defense an officer may not use a dead ly weapon or take life to effect an ar rest for a misdemeanor, whether his purpose is to kill or merely stop the other’s flight. This is true even though the offender cannot he taken otherwise.”' ■, An offender charged with a misde meanor, therefore, must not be fired upon In any event (except in self defense) even though that 1b the only way to stop hi*. He must be ap prehended without endangering his life or not at all. The practice of shooting at people to arrest them is becoming entirely too common, and we are not talking particularly about the prohibition law, j LI. either. Persons violating speed laws | bavn, been shot and killed. A deputy sheriff in Oklahoma on the lookout for n murderer, waved hi. hand for a i drove o® be fired at it, the shot killiag I the driver, a respectable merchant who ; had no connection whatever with the I crime. Fie officer was convicted of manslaughter. The court said 'that be “had bo conception of his duties as I . peace officer oir of the sanctity of a I human life.” ahd characterized him as ah “arrogant deputy sheriff who would I shoot to kill or wound ally person who would hot obey hie commands.” I We believe officers who shoot with out regard for human life should be I made to pay for their folly and that | jail sentences for them wll make them realize more than anything else ‘ the limits to which they can go in ' the enforcement of their duty. How- ' ever, those persons who choose officers ‘ have some responsibility, also. They should weigh the matter carefully be- 1 fore placing a police badge on a man 1 and above all they should know that ' the officer has sound judgment. Many ' a man has courage without judgment ' and that courage is a drawback rather 1 than a help, for it makes him do things that a man with judgment triutd see were unwise. I '"■ ; Commissioner Grist evidently want- i ed to get that employment bureau in Raleigh where he can keep a personal eye on it. So far as the public knew Raleigh had made no bid for the headquarters of tjje bureau; but since Mri Grist decided to move it there we presume the city of Raleigh and the county of Wake agreed to make such appropriations as are needed to operate the bureau. It has been hinted in Charlotte that another employment bureau is to be operated there, with expenses paid by Charlotte and Mecklenburg county and with the management left entirely to officials of the city and county. Os course, Mr. Grist would have nothing to do with that office since the State would not be asked to contribute anything to its upkeep. Post and Flagg*. Cotton Letter. New York, Sept. 3.—The cotton market has shown a firm tone again today, reflecting continued covering ' with offerings only moderate. The trade seemed to be doing very little and not disposed as yet to follow ad vances. Private authorities gener ally are placing the expectancy above 14 with some close to 15 though there is no lack of complaint of deteriora tion and the usual apprehension exists as to t(ie showing of the report due next Tuesday. The announcement of the failure of a Liverpool house was not much of a factor either there or here though the firm was apparently carrying a fairly large line of contracts. There is a feeling Chat hedge selling may prove rather heavy tomorrow to take care of receipts during the period that the American markets will be closed blit there is a rather high degree of tst sarjßSE#* isa Which prices have declined ha* ac tually been against the crop iteelf. , It is also suggested. that the spot short ‘interest may prove decidedly lit excess of recent estimates on that subject so that. more cotton is pass ing promptly from producers to the trade without hedging than had been realized. The ttime is at hand when severe storms may visit the belt which with so murii cotton open could do more than the usual damage and that with uncertainty over the report that a feeling tjiat there is too much com pany on the short sides has resulted in considerable covering. The technical position is less strained but taking the trade and speculative short interest together is still strong enough to produce strik ing results if events should serve to undermine the present confidence in r superabundant crop.

SYNOPSIS Bob Wilson, freight engineer, Jim Fowler, moil clerk, and Caroline Dale are attending little Bob Folder's birth dag fatly when a boy arrives with an order for Wilson to take out the Lim ited that night. This Juts been Bob’s ambition and he is.elated. Little Bob begs to be allowed to make the trip also and Jim agrees to take Aim in the mail car. Caroline invitee Jane Gor don, who had arrived at the forty unexpectedly, to ,fate the night with her. ■■ CHAPTER Vlll—Continued ✓ “Put me wise to all this bunk, old kid—you fooling around with a bunch of greasy railroad micks—• and yous hid man with millions enough tffi’nr this and every oth er road hi tits country and split the ties int<^ tOOthpicks—” “Whyyou come here?” pleaded Sob angrily, “when I told you I never-wanted to see or hear from you hga|h- Why can’t you go —and leavq*rte alone?” “Ain’t yod the nice one, though? Bo friendly like! I’ll go all right, Bob, when you get your old man to come across.” “My father has disowned me and you know it. I haven t a penny in ( the world except what I earn by i honest work here—” j “Listen, the old man will listen , to reason if you put it to him right. • And I’m telling you now that I’m i going to camp right here on your ] doorstep until you do.” Caroline came apologetically into the room this moment with Bob by to give fair warning that it was : lime for Bob and Jim to be off. Jane glanced spitefully at her, then turned back to Bob and concluded in a low, menacing whisper. “And, furthermore, I’ll put a crimp in whatever little love game you’re I l . aHBr The station agent leaped for the ' signal tower switch. [ up to here. Oh, hell, don't start so, and pull any high and mighty in i nocence on me. I know what I 1 know—when I see it!” ' That was the threat Bob carried ‘ away dinning in his ears when he ' walked down with Jim and Bobby 1 to the station to meet the greatest trust and task of his new working life. Not a, pleasant prospect, or one to allow him full enjoyment of | his night’s job. Yet, with Jane’s ominous words, there remained like . a beckoning aura over and around all present difficulties a picture of Caroline as she had said good-bye; ' Caroline in her slim grace and cour ageous reserve. There was no doubt in Bob’s mind ,but that Jim loved Caroline. After all, 7*m was worthier of her than he ever could be. If it would > make both of them happy—Bob was content, he tried to tell himself, to do penance for his own omissions and shortcomings by encouragirtg 1 and abetting their romance in every possible way. 1 Thus his thoughts ran during the first proud tpinutes of his trip, when ; he thrilled at the leaping response of the big' Mallet to his lightest > touch. Rounding the sharp curve ’ that would take him clear of the J Crater City yards Bob looked back t along the train—his train; his charge. Long, sleek, the lin'e of every mail car and pullman bearing out the suggestion given by every line and angle and sound of the locomo r tive—of power without end, hoarded and guardedly leashed; of grey hound speed- On the tail end—like a rattle on a python, Bob thought “ with a chuckle—was a prison car, I bearing the 'last batch of prisoners I < to be transferred. II Spike waz in that car, Bob had S learned. Strange, was it not?—in I the last car, a mortal enemy; in the * first mail car, a dearest friend and State to Manufacture Culverts for the Highways. . Raleigh, Sept. 3.—ln order that I the State highway commission may [ be furnished with pipe culverts, State 1 prison officials announced today that U a plant for their manufacture Was | being ruehed to completio nat the J. prison. Twenty-five convicts will be 'J engaged in this work. Last year the Btate purchased in excess of SIOO,- 000 worth of culverts from outride the state, said Superintendent Pou, THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE a chHd Bob loved as much as if hi were his son! An pdd mixture. Bob thought philosophically—the best and the worst in his life, under hit hand fpr the whirlwind dash through the night. The last erosstrack of the Yards was behind now, only a clear and long right of way ahead. Bob pull ed the big throttle—it was fitting thgt a giant engine should have a giant throttle!—wide open gradually, giving the*limited a full head of steam that presently sent it poQnffi mg on the straightaway at better, than fifty. The grade up toward Eagle Pass would begin soon; he must make time now, while Ist could, for it would never do to smudge his reputation, which had won this assignment for him, by' dropping behind schedule on his section of the run. And Bob knew, as every engineer knows, that it Is a constant and vigilant fight to keep within scheduled time/ on' a long and difficult run such as this, oyer the mountains. There was something soothing in the smooth exuberance, in the bpf lowing vigor, of the Limited; and Bob, leaning on his right elbow out of the cab window as he watched the right-of-way lights that rushed at him out of the night like green snowflakes in a streaking blizzard, was lulled into more placid reflec tions than he had expected would k e I°* for many, a weary day. After all, it was not fair for him to decide whether Caroline should have Jim or him, or either; he had reason to believe that Caroline cared or him, so the honest thing was to go through with his plan of telling her the whole truth at tha earliest possible moment—including, the truth about Jane, who aqd what Jane was to him, and what his platfii were for unshackling the hold sho had on him. Then Caroline could make her own decision, and there would be no hard feelings—on his part, at least, even if he lost out, h« assured himself; for there was on. thing he never would lose, come what may, and that was the inspira tion of merely knowing such a line and splendid person as Caroline. Bye and bye, as he urged th« roaring iron meteor of the rails o* its flight, the intensity of Bob’s re fl*eti girl to' shore and leaving her in will -1 lag hands, leaped back into the, > surging water. 1 “What!” cried someone on thfj i shore. “Is there another one out ■ there?” i “No,” shouted tha hero. “But I , can’t afford to marry.” BLOWING ROCK HOODED GANG IS IN TROUBLE '\ ' v Judge Shaw lames Bench Warrants For 14 As Result, of Attack on Two Men. , Lenoir, Sept. 2.—Fourteen bench i warrants were issued Tuesday by Jndge Thomas J.
