THEY’RE BETTING AGAINST r
HYLAN. mh
.Kd'i Strcet is willing to hot 3 to t
th« Mhydr Hylan is not. Winner in
the approaching Democratic primary.
Os (Course Wall Street does not con
trol the voting in New York, but
those men who make their money i
watching chances to bet know most of
the time what they are talking about 1
and it is seldom you find them offer- '
ing odds on the wrong man. (
As a matter of fact indications point, j
#o strongly to a Walker victory in the ]
primary that Mayor Hylan haa prac
tically admitted that he will enter the, 1
election as an independent candidate.
That is what William Rudolph 1
Hearst has been advising him to do
and as Hylan has been listening to
Hearst suggestions it is considered cer
tain that he will be in the election re
gardless of the outcome of the pri
mary.
Charges have been made openly that
Hearst is controlling Hylan and while
these have beep denied by the Mayor
and the newspaper- man, it cannot be
denied that the Hearst papers are
throwing their support to the Mayor
and that the owher of the papers is
doing all he can for Hylan, although
he is in far away California.
Mayor Hylan made one serious po
litical error. He took the advice of
Hearst in preference to the advice of
Governor Al Smith. When he sought
to question the- policies and motives of
Governor,Smith he stirred up a hor
) nets’ nest. • New York people believe
In "Al” and they are going to show
that faith at the polls.
ARE THEY PRAYING SINCERE
LYT
We are not one to question
power of prayer or to say it*Boes hot
jiiwfit one to pray, but we are not
■ persuaded that alk of the prayers in
Tthe South in recent weeks are going
to bring raifi. We are not persuaded
we have a firm belief that the pray
ers for the most part are the result of
hysteria, brought on by fear of a wat
er famine.
How many of those persons who are
■ praying for rain now ever prayed be
fore? How many of them really know
what prayer means? Prayer, it seems
to ns, is something more than lip
(poring in some public place. How
many of these people are praying be
cause they really think it will do
good? Many of them are going
through a process that does not even
approaeli worship and they have no
faith. Surely there can be no real
prayer if there is no faith.
It's a mighty easy thing to make a
pretense of praying when disaster
fhees you. The real test comes in
daily practice when things are mov
ing along smoothly and everything ap
parently is all right. Do these people
who are praying for rain now pray
Spfiaily for strength to live as they
- Should live? Do they try to live in
snch a manner that their prayers will
be answered?
W* have been taught that ths ear
of God to always open to supplica
tion bat we are not convinced that
■ >■ -a, ;-4kf
He always grants the request; cer- 1
tnifily not when the request comes
through fear of drought and not
through love of - - *

WOULD BE A GREAT THING FOR ,
(GERMANY. ' V ,

Speaking before the Coiicord Rotary i
Club, H. W. Blanks, secretary of the
Concord Chutnber <Jf Commerce and 1
General Secretary of the Concord Y.
M. X’. A., told his brother Rotarians |
that KuropCa|g-Rotnry Clubs are in a ,
quandary as to whether or not they
should allow clubs to be organised in i
Germany.
We are not familiar, perhaps, With '
all of the questions that arise in the *
ease, but there would have been some *
very serious objections if we voted ,
against allowing -Rotary to get n
foothold in Germany. If the Kaiser i
had believed in “Service Before Self" <
he would have been killing to devote i
the time and talent of bia people to |
world pence rather thpn to prepara- 1
tions for war.
“He Profits Most Who Serves Best,” -
says the Rotafy Slogan, and the Ger- ,
mans need to know this. They need i
to believe it and live it. We say by l
all means let Germany have Rotary 1
for certainly Rotary is big enough to r
take care of itself and spread its in- *'
Hticnce even In Germany.
EGG-LAYING CONTEST !
To Be Held at McCormick, S. C., No- i
vember l-*i. (
<• McCormick, 8. C-, Sept. 10.—(AP 1
—Tthe southeastern' egg laying con- <
test under the supervision of Clemoon
College, will opefi November 1 at Me- i
Corkmick and will bo national in I
its scope. i
The plant of 30 houses will cover
seven acres and will accomodate
1200 hens. Entries have been receiv- <
ed from Michigan, Alabama. Virgi
nia. North Carolina. South Carolina, t
Georgia, Florida* Tennessee, and i
Miwlssippl. i
Professor A. F. Cannon, formerly
oh the staff of the poultry division I
of the Georgia State College of Agri- i
culture, will manage the contest,
Which is the second of its kind to be -
launched in the southeast. The pur- i
pose of the (Contest is to show by au- ]
thentic records what can be done i
with poultry under Southern condi- i
tious. |
The contest is not financed by I
any feed eompapy. and is not operat
ed for profit: it is stated. 1
D. H. Hall, supervisor for Clem
son College, will arrive at McCor
mick September 15 to inspect the
buildings which are almost complet- ]
ed. Although the contest will not
commence until November 1, many )
npplicatis have been made, and some j
of the best known breeders will be j
represented, among them being Geo. (
B. Ferris, Alabama Leghorn Forms, ,
Ferguson Farms, Pineview Poultry (
Farm, and Laws Leghorn Farms. ,
The contest is. open to individual j
BMSlena as well as to commercial ]
poultry fantia. ,
The entries will rooisist of i*ens ,
containing 10 hens and two alter- j
nates. The contest is to check up in t
an official way on the number of eggs {
laid during the 12 months from Nov- s
ember 1 to November 11. an at the ;
end of that time to furnish each ow- f
ner with a complete record of his in- ,
dividual hens. Trained popltrymen j
be in charge and permanent files will (
be kept, it i stated, on feed cpnsump- ,
tion, egg production, wight and value ,
of eggs, produced and cost of feed.
Detailed wekly bulletins will be "
mailed srom Clem son College show- J
ing the relative standing of the en- !
tries and the ’ number of eggs laid. 1
A report will be broadcasted by radio 1
from demson every Wednesday J
night. The public will therefore be j
kept in touch with the progress of
the^conteet.
Other similar contests are beiira 1
held at the Alabama Polytechnic '
Institute, the Connecticut Agri
cultural College, the New Jersey J
Agricultural Experiment Station, the 1
State College of Washington, the '
Agriculture and Mechanical College 1
of Arkansan, the Michigan Agri- <
cultural College, and the University '
of California.
Florida Encourages Capital ]
Review of Reviews.
One reason for the amazing devel- (
opments that are .going forward in |
Florida is to be fonnd in ttq» common (
agreement’ that has been reached in |
that State to encourage capital and (
to distoumge demagogues. Specula
tion is indeed rife; but the 'thing to ,
be noted in Florida today is the crea- ,
tion of substantial improvements— .
highways, railway extensions, docks ,
and harbor facilities, business build- ,
ings, hotels for visitors, and homes for
■the new’ citizens who come to till the
soil or to wdrk at their trades. All
this is merely a 20th century manner
of taking a relatively neglected part
of the country and bringing it rapid
ly abreast of the best standards of
other States or regions, by the use of
capital and the latest methods. In
stinctively, our American public would
rather develop Florida than invest its
surplus capital in' Soviet Russia or
in some other distant place of of un
stable finance that is insistently pro
posing to float loans in our money
markets, with tempting commissions
to those who can find the lenders.

he knocked against a lawyer suffering
severely from sea sickness,
“Can I do anything for you?” in

"“Yea,” gasped the sufferer. “Will

Rest Attorney: “Your honor, un
fortunately I am opposed by an uni
mitigated scoundrel.”

THE M«BT WONDERFUL THING.
Washington Times.
You age a beggar who # wants a
dime and you paw him by, knowing
from experience tbat shelter, food
and medical attention are provided
at the expense of the taxpayers for
those in need, be they citizens or !
strangers. j j
You are asked for a loan And yon j
try to evade it. knowing tbat banks I
will not make loans without security j
and that borrowers who have no I
security often are habitual borrowers
and poor payerß. *
You listen to the dory of a friend’s I
misfortune and you say iit n 1
methodical sort of way ”’thnt’« too
bad." You may be too. preoccupied or
too indifferent to put the feeling in
,to your voice that will carry the real |
consolation to the friend who is
seeking it.
And then, perhaps someone you do!
not know is caught by a rock in a j
cave or someone you do. not know ie
in danger of diphtheria in n far off
snowbound, fastness. You stop seek- \
ing money. You stop work. You
throw yous daily occupation to the
winds and dig feverishly for days.
You take a chance witl\ dog teams
and freezing weather to drive day
and night at the risk of your life
to savg that someone you do not
know.
■y Someone is drowning. Yon cannot
swim. But you take a chance with
your life and the welfare of your
family to save that someone you do
not know nnd who may not wish to
be saved.
A ship is sinking. Yon step aside
tbat the weak may be saved. You
grapple with robbers, you dash into
blazing buildings for someone you
do not know.
Why such daily indifference to the
non-spectacular suffering of dnily
life and such magnificent sacrifice to
the stirring tragedies?
Are we all hero -worshippers or are
we self-worshipers, Reeking to be
come heroes?
Are we cold nnd indifferent, to the
suffering of others, forced by timidity
to attempt the heroic thiug when oc
casion demands . it? t
Are we mobs, moved by some more
Imperious and gallant leaders among
us?
The most valuable thing in the
world w human life, and that is the
one thing we nre willing to risk to
preserve for another. Friend or foe,
stranger or kin. it matters not. When
a human life is at stake the meanest
and humblest is willing to throw
his own into the gamble to save it.’
That, in itself, is one wonderful
thing about life.
THE COUNTY CLINIC.
Kinston News,
The Daily News docs not pretend
to be any expert upon medical sub- 1
jeots but takes tbe liberty of present
ing this editorial to its readers upon
the ground that, possibly, it is as
much of an expert as the Bonrd of
I’-ounty Commisskiners! It is under
stood that a oosiderable sentiment
tot fhwTtboliiton of the eotihfy ollnfr
has grown up. How it originated and
who is fostering it now this -paf>er
jloes not know. This much, however,
is known: The clinic is treating, for
the exact cost of the injections, 40
cases of syphilis, none of whom are
able to pay for medical attention:
it is treating.a number of other ven
ereals who are unable to pay the re- 1
gular charges for medical attention. '
Since the clinic was established, the '
death rates of tgphoid fever and diph
theria. in the eounty. have fallen! to
an almost negligible rate.
With the abolition of the clinic,
what physicians of the eounty will
take upon themselves the responsi- ;
bility of treating the 40 cases of sy
philis who are now receiving treat
ment from the clinic? Which of our !
practioners will take upon 'themselves
the woi-k of typhoid ami diphtheria
vaccination on among the school chil
dren of the county? What dentist
will obligate themselves to examine
the teeth of the school children, many
of whose parents are unable to pay
the regular dentist's fees?
-’■lf there is fault to be found with
the present administration of the
clinic, which, by the way, has re
vived national attention among au
thorities in this sort of work, then
let the charges be brought openly
against the administration, but * for
the sake of our good name let u#not
abolish a work, that has saved many
times its value in human lives. What
is $8,000.00 compared with the 100
or more little lives saved from horri
ble death of strangulation by the ra
fages of diphtheria? Our federal,
state and county governments are
spending good money for the preven
tion of cholera among hogs and croup
among chickens. As we, of Lenoir
County, so parsimonious as to rate
our children and unfortunates below
tbe level of barnyard fowls and
beast? ,

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
HUGE SUM CASH
GOES FROM CITY
thousands of Dollars Monthly Going
to Mail Order Houses of tbe North
and West.
Durham County Progress.
Realizing that several thousand dol
lars are being sent away from Dur
ham every week by citizens who are
batvoaizing the mail order houses in
the north and west, local merchants
lire planning to wage a relentless cam
paign against this practice anj to
make an effort to keep this money at
home where it will do tile most good
and. with this in view a campaign of
education which will have as7ts ob
ject to show those who patronize the
mail order houses that they can. get
goods just as good in quality and as
cheaply or more cheaply in price right;
here at. home than they can by send
ing away from the city for the same
thing.
A survey made at Greensboro re
cently showed that five million dol
lars annually was the sum being sent
away from that city to northern and
western mail order houses. While the
sum sent from this city and eounty in
not thought to be as great, it is known
that it will amount to several thous
and dollars monthly and this’money,
it is pointed out, could nnd should be
kept at home.
Just what the exact plans of the
merchants in Durham to fight the
"mail order evil” are to be has not
not been decided upon as the present
time. It is known, however, that they
intend to wage a battle which they
hope and believe will be a winning one
and which will cut down the number
of orders and the amount of money
now be-ng sent to the mail prder places
nut of Durham.
And in the meantime local citizenß
are being urged to "trade at home” or
lo at least look around nnd be con
vinced that they can buy goods just
as cheaply here nnd that the local
merchant always stands back of these.
“Yes. I think I shall buy n motor
car this spring.” said the host, cas
ually, during a lull In the conversa
tion. “I haven’t decided what make
yet; but it’s no use getting a cheap
one, they’re so unreliable. I sup
pose I, can get a really serviceable
mariiine for $1,500 or so.”
While the company were still gasp
ing at.this careless mention of wealth,
little Willie spoke up: “I say, dad,
will that funny looking man call every
month for the money like he did last
year when you bought my bicycle?”
Even the Postmaster Advertises His
Wares.
Publishers! Auxiliary.
Editor R. M. Wilson of the Eckley,
Colo., Tribune has had possession of
•hat paper less than thirty days. His
ssue of August 27 comprised 12
[rages, each filled with a fine assort
nent of display advertising and rend
ing matter descriptive of . the old
lettlers' picnic, which is an annual
pcent in that town. In view of the
fact that he claims every business
lrm in the town of Eckley is repre
«mted in this edition, one would
naturally wonder whether or -not
[hat assertion could be made with
iny degree of ,honesty, but in, thin
•ase it is true, even to the postmns
er. who advertises his wares in the
Eckley Tribune as follows:
v Me, Too!
While everybody else is wishing
■verybody else, through the Tribune,
’ongratulatione on the annual old
lettlers picnic, I want to do so aa
lenrtily as any one, if not more so.
My store is headquarters, I sell
link, green, brown, yellow, blue and
nrange postage etanips, special de
iveries. postcards, newspapers wrap
>ere, all sizes stamped envelopes, and
rastage saving certificates.
All my stock is new' nnd I
specialize in good service.

Uncle Sam’s Storekeeper in Eckley,

Editor Wilson is quite proud of
his edition. AH the work was done
in the Tribune office by Mr. Wilson
himself with the assistance of one
person who is not a printer.
Young Wilkins, who was of very
limited means, presented the minister,
after tbe wedding ceremony, with a
couple of frayed bank notes and some
loose change, saying: “I’m sorry, par-
this is all I've got.” Then,
observing the faint look of disap
pointment which the poor parson was
unable to restrain, he added hastily:
“But if we have any children, we will
send them to yonr Sunday school.”-

FLORENCE MACBETH
i A 6,000-mile trip to sing six songs is the penalty for a lightly
( spoken promise given by Florence Macbeth, famous beauty of the
/Chicago Opera Company, two years ago.
I A couple of years ago, in Paris, a well-known EJuropean impress
sario, chatting with several of his contemporaries, remarked in the
prtma donna’s hearing: “Macbeth will sing at any time for me,” to
which Macbeth jestingly responded: “Anywhere in the world at any
time.” And what does the impressario do but select London—from
whence she has declined many tempting offers during recent years
, — at a time when her services are demanded most by the concert
managers of her own country.
