How About This Anyway?
Tile T'plift.
Dr. J. V. Joyner, a consipcuous fig- ]
ure in the co-operative movement and |
a big farmer by proxy, returning from ,
his farms in Lenoir county, reports
that ’’the boll weevil is getting the ,
August crop of cotton.” In this we ■
see just one blessing of the extreme i
heat and dryness suffered in this sec- ■
tion. Dr. Spencer, another fanner t
by proxy, he being the efficient secre
tary of the Cabarrus Fair Associa- i
tion. declares that he ’lias not seen :
ope of these animals this entire sum- ■
iner." whereupon Editor Sherrill re
marked that not a single bottled in- 1
sect of any kind had been delivered
at Tile Tribune office during tile en
tire summer to have himself exhibited
to the gazing public and be written
up. ,
"Good.” exclaimed the secretary of
the Cabarrus Fair Association. ”wo
are forever rid of boll weevils and
ortier annoying and destructive in
sects.”
Representative Britten, the better
navy champion, said at a banquet in
Chicago:
“The difference between the pacifist
attitude and the preparedness attitude
is illustrated in rtie story of Jimmy
and Jack.
“Jimmy anil Jack had been naugh
ty. Therefore their mother sent them
to bed. As they lay side by side in
bed, they heard their father enter the
house. Then, a few minutes later,
they heard heavy footsteps ascending
the stairs. They turned pale.
“ ‘When lie comes in.' said Pacifist
Jimmy. ’l’m goin' to lay. here with
my eyes shut and my hand folded, as
if 1 was praying'.”
“But Preparedness Jack was al
ready bustling about the room.
“ 'l’m goin’ to put on my pants,’
he said, ‘and stuff ’em with newspa

NOTED PLAYERS IN
FAIRBANKS PICTURE
Enim Bennett, Wallace Beery and
‘ Alton Hale in “Dougina Fairbanks
In Kofcfci Hood.”
So far as personalities are concern
ed, filmdom is a land of surprises. It
is difficult to tell who is who, since
the costume drama baa came unto
its most popular vogue and has
caused a marked shifting around in
the easting of pictures. People who
have been in the background for a
long time are coming prominently to
the front ami eonventioinal types are
retiring rapidly front their eminence.
Take “Douglas Fairbanks •in Robin
Hood.’’ a United Artists release at
the Concord theater today for in
stance. Douglas Fairbanks, the star
and producer of this biggest of all
domantie photoplays, made some
wide departures from traditions in
selecting his supporting cast for this
most ambitious film of his brilliant
career, and consequently there are
many anomalies in the personnel of
the delineators of the various roles.
Wallace Beery, creator of sneering
braggarts and vicious men in gen
eral. has the heroic role of King
Richard Coeur de Lion in this super
productioni. He has become the de
fender of right, the same right he
has been trampling on so ruthlessly
in his customary villainous screen
characterizations. He may appear as
a blustering, swashbuckling type,
with huge and primitive appetite for
beef joints, but he is, nevertheless,
quite on the square with the heroing
and the other virtuous individuals in
the story.
Allan Hale is another “heavy” who
has turned his back on past wicked
ness. He plays the part .of Little
John, Robin Hood's aide-de-camp in
his exploits of valor. Like Beery, he. '
too, is concerned in the mire-sing of
wrong rather than demoralizing
truth and justice as he has done in
so many films.
One of the more interesting trans
formations is that of Enid Bennett. 1
heretofore associated chiefly with ■
the roles of the neglected wife in 1
modern society stories. She plays the 1
Mario Marian in “Robin Hood” and
oil the silversheet she presents a 1
veritable portrait of a glorious prill- 1
cess, belonging to an age when men 1
were supposed to tight for women in- :
stead of quarreling with them.
This part is quite opposite to the 1
types of clinging helplost wives such 1
as Miss Bennett has been evolving so
successfully and now in her deliuea- '
tion of tremendously brave woman
hood she seems at her happiest best, i
OWNER OF RUM CAR IS
STILL BIG MYSTERY
Seek Clues That Will
Arrest of Mail Who Drove Car on
Railroad Tracks.
Police officers are still seeking due*
that will lead to the arrest of -the
man who drove a rum car on the
tracks of the Southern railway eotn-
IMiny here Sunday night. The wrecked
car. about twenty gallons of liquor!;
and a coat were- found by the officers
but tile driver of the auto so far has
been able to evade arrest.
What was left of the car. a Stude- i
baker roadster, was placed on a truck
and carried from the scene of the
wreck Monday. There are no large
pieces of the car left and no effort
will be made to repair it.
Tile driver of the car for some rea
son left the highway at the Southern ,
passenger station anil drove up the
road that runs paralel! with the
tracks. Where the road ends near
the Nibloek Lumber Co. tile driver
drove upon the tracks and got as far
as the Buffalo Mill before bis car
stuck in the tracks. While the own
er was trying to get the car free train
No. 38, tile Crescent Limited, came
along and witliout effort did what the
owner had been trying to do—free the
tracks of the auto.
Police officers are still trying to de
cide why the rum runner decided to
drive up the tracks. He may have
taken the blind road thinking it lead
out to some other main highway, the
officers [mint out, but no sober, sane
mail would have driven on the tracks
when t'iie end of the road was reached.
One report current here Monday
| was to the effect that passers-by had
i to pull the man from the car to save
1 him. while another report said he was
| out of the car and had asked several
I onlookers to aid him in getting it
1 from the tracks.

I The revival started off in fine spirit
l Monday night. There was a large
j congregation to greet the preacher,
i and singer. The singing was soul
i stirring and uplifting. Mr. Fry is
| leading the choir in a great way. The
i juniors are singing fine.
1 Mr. Payne, the evangelist, was with
J us Monday night and preached a very
i uplifting sermon on “Prayer,” from
1 Isaiah 60:8: “As Zion travailed she
\ brought forth her children.” He said
i in part:
There must be travail if we win
souls to Christ or in other words we
must pray in earnest if we have a re
vival meeting that will stir the unsav
ed and bring them to Christ. Take
the children of Israel; they prayed
and pled with (list and God heard,
and answered him. The disciples were
in n ten days' prayer meeting before
Pentecost.
First. There must be earnest pray
er before power.
Second. And sometimes there must
be fasting. The old prophets of old
fasted and prayed.
Third. Then we must get down in
sack cloth and ashes. Get down hum
ble feeling the need of what we are
asking Gor for before we can expect
to receive a blessing.
Service tonight at 7:30. Come and
worship with us, and bring your
1 friends.

To Exhibit in Concord Next Friday,
September 18th.
There has been marvels through all
ages, and the seven wonders of the
world have been known for centuries
to the entire civilised universe, but it
has remained for Christy Bros, bfg
five ring wild animal shows, which ex
hibit here on Friday, September 18th.
to produce others as equally well
worthy of recognition. Jungle melo
dies and scenes from tile immense steel
gilt arenas that would tiave held a
l’hamah spellbound, are reduced to
perfect harmony and sets the blood
of the* onlooker to dancing in his
veins, as they witness the disciplined
submission of the fiercest and most I
ferocious African lions, Bengal
with other wild animals, as they obey
the will pf man. and at a simple aiul
quiet direction perform the most mar
velous feats.
Fire, the most terrifying of ele
ments to the beast creation, is en
countered without hesitancy at a sim
ple word of command. Unleashed in
the great steel ribbed arenas a big
African lion springs like a wild cat.
to the bark of his intrepid mount aud
with all the grace and dexterity of
riding rivals performs feats that are
almost incredible. Hoops of tire have
no terror for him as he leaps through
them with all the abandon of a fin
ished artist. *
Then there are the fearful foes
brought together in perfect amity to
present in conjunctive harmony a
spectacular performance, the like of
which the world has never seen or
even thought within the rage of possi
bility. Hiey are the tiger and the
elephant, the equestrian sensation of
ail time, in which a beautiful and
majestic royal Bengal tiger springs
with elyctric speed to the back of a
monster loping elephant and rides
with a consummate grace around the
steel arena, leaping to and from din
fant pedestals, through fiery hoops,
over hurdles aud other obstacles, and
presenting the most startling perform
ance that eye of man ever looked up
on.
These are but a few of the leading
trained wild animal acts, which also
include performing bears, leopards
und leopardesses, pumas, boar hounds,
zebras aud zebrtilas and a troupe of
trained wild elk. For the' very first
time two troupes of wolves are intro
duced. This is the first time that
these animals have ever been edu
cated to perform and they are mar
vels in keen conception of what they
are doing.
Pages might be written aud then
not tell in advance ail of the startling
novelties,introduced in Christy Bros.
Hliows, which are vastly superior to
any other show of the kind in the
world.
JUDGE OGLESBY HOLDING
ROWAN COURT THIS WEEK
Stressed Kes|>eet for Law and Con
stituted Authority in Charge to the
Jury.
Salisbury Post.
The September term of Rowan Su
perior* Court opened here this morn
ing with Judge John M. Oglesby, of
Concord, presiding and Solicitor Zeb
V. Long, bf Statesville, repfeseuting
the State in the prosecution of crim
inal cases. Judge Oglesby comes
here in place of Judge Henry I’.
Lane, of Reidsville. and will liold the
first week of this two-week scheduled
court, which is set aside for the trial
of criminal cases. The first work
was that of drawing the grand jury
and immediately after the eighteen
men were secured Judge Oglesby be
gan his charge.
Judge Oglesby’s outstanding theme
in his very able e4iarge was that of
law enforcement as a whole and dili
gent inquiry by the grand jury into
all violations of the law. He said be
would not paramount any one evil but
urged thorough investigation into all
alleged violations. The greatest evil
and the one the court wished to em
phasize. declared the Concord jurist,
was that of direspect for law and con
stituted authority. He said he had
unbounded faith in the citizenship of
North Carolina, and that the great
majority of people were law abiding
and law respecting, but there was n
certain element in every rounty, in
every community, that had no respect
for law and these were the ones that
were crowding the dockets of the
courts.
He declared the men composing the
grand juries know; who these violators
are and it was their duty to probe
these things and bring the people who
trample the laws under foot to trial.
While urging the grand jury to make
diligent inquiry into all violations of
the laws that came to the attention
Os the members of the investigating
body he declared the place to begin
teaching respect for laws is in the
home. The outstanding theme of the
charge was respect for law and con
stituted authority and the bringing to
trial of those who do not obey the
laws.
This is Judge Oglesby’s, first court
here and he has already impressed all

WHAT FOLLOWS IF WE
PERISH WITH DEATH?
(Tiic following is an extract from
a sermon of the celebrated French
preacher. Massillon, of whom Lonir,
XVI said: “Other preachers make me
pleased with them, but Massillon
makes me displeased with myself.”)
If we wholly perish with the body
whai an imposture is t?ii« whole sys
tem of laws, manners and usages, on
which human society is founded! If
we wholly perish with the body, these
maxims of charity, patience, justice,
honor, gratitude and friendship, which
sages have taught and good men have
practiced, what are they but empty
words possessing no real and binding
efficacy? Why should we heed them,
if we have hope in this life only?
Speak not of duty. What can we
owe lo the dead, to the living, to our
selves, if all are or will be nothing?
Who shall dictate our duty. If not our
own pleasure—if not our own pas
sions? Speak not of morality. It is
a mere chimera, a bugbear of human
invmtion, if retribution terminate
with the grave.
If we must wholly to
us are sweet ties of kindred? What
the tender names of father, mother,
child, rtster. brother, husband, wife
or (friend? The characters of a drama
are not more illusive. We have no
ancestors,, no descendants: since suc
cession oannot be predicated of noth
ingness. Would we honor the illus
rrious dead ? How absurd to honor
that which lias no existence! Would
we take thought of posterity? How
frivolous to concCrn ourselves for
those whose end. like our own. must
soon be annihilation! Have we made
a promise? How can it bind nothing
to nothing? Perjury is but a jest.
The last injunctions) of the dying,
what sanctity have they more than
the last souhd of a chord that is
snapped of an instrument that is
broken?
To sum up ail: If we must wholly
prish, then is obedience to the laws In
sane servitude, rulers and magistartes
are but the phantoms wliieh popular
imbecility has raised up; justice is
an unwarrantable infringement upon
the liberty of men —an imposition, a
usurpation; the law of marriage is a
vain scruple: modesty, a prejudice;
honesty and probity, such stuff as
dreams are made of. and incests mur
ders. parricides, the most heartless
mieltise and the blackets crimes are
hut the legitimate sport of man’s ir
responsible natoea: while t'ae harsh
epithets applied to them are merely
such as Jhe policy of legislators has
invented, and imposed upon the cre
dulity of the people. -
Herb is the issue to which the
vaunted philosophy of unbelievers
inevitably lead. Here is that social
felicity, that sway of reason, that
emancipation from error, of which
they eternally [irate as being the fruit
of their doctrines. Accept their max
ims aud the whole world falls back
into a frightful chaos; all the rela
tions of life are confounded; ail the
ideas of vice and virtue are reversed;
flic moat inviolable laws of society
vanish; all moral discipline perishes;
the government of states and nations
has no longer any cement to hold it
together; all the harmony of the body
politic becomes discord; the human
race is no more than an assemblase
of reckless, barbarians, shameless, re
morseless, brutal, denaturalized, with
no other cheek than passion, with no
oilier bond than irreligion, with no
other God than self!

The Rotary Club of St. Aogoa-

flubs in the nearby Southeastern

wonderful seaside camp, known as
the Boys’ Work Camp on the At

This camp is considered one of the
finest in the country with splendid
bathing and fishing nearby. It

among the sixteen Southern states.
Only Tennessee. Arkansas, Mouth
