Wearing $3.50 Hose.
Monroe Enquirer.
“Look yonder,'i said an observant
Monroe citizen, indicating a young
woman irticse middlin' graceful lower
limbs were incased in darkish brown
stoekins.
“What of her?” I inquired.
‘/■She's wearing gun-inetal hose—
cost $3.50 a pair.”
“Great guns !” I exclaimed—“s3.so
a pair, when her gramma never had
a pair of stockings in her life that
cost over a quarter?”
“Yes, sir— gun-metal — latest things
out,” said my informant.
I did net get unduly excited, for a
pair of sheeny-shiny socks more or
less is nothing in my young life.
But I think that if I were notmakin’
so niueh money rurulin' a newspaper
I would like to manufacture silk hose
amt- sell 'em maybe $5 to $lO a pair, j
The socks I’d sell, however, wouldn’t
be worth mor'n dollar a pair, but lots
of folks these days and times won't,
buy an article unless they pay two j
or three times its real value. They :
don’t want to appear cheap.

worth, boys. Millions have been made

HIGH BIRTH RATE IS
NOT DUE TO NEGROES
Counties With Fewest Neg Toes Have
Highest Birth Rates.
Raleigh. October 24.—(/P)—North
Carolina's continued lead in the birth
rate in the union is usually partially
accounted ffir by the average man by
the fact that North Carolina lias a
large percentage of negro population,
and that the birthrate among negroe**
is high. North Carolina counties
having fewest negroes, however, lead
the state in births, figures for 1924
compiled by the vital statistics bureau
of the State board of health ami con
tained in its annual report, just "pub
lished, fdiow.
Mitchell county, one of the moun
tain counties of. North Carolina, and
one of those having the fewest ne
groes. is an easy leader in birtli rate.
In 1924 that county had 42.1 births
for every 1.000 population. This is
in contrast with the average of 31.9
for the entire stateT
Warren county comes second, with
29.8. births for every thousand popu
lation. Gaston county, in. the Pied
mont section, with 29 births per 1,000
population a close third. Curri
tuck, on the far east, stands' at Mi*
bottom of the list, with a birthrate of
0n1y.21.7 per 1,000.
Taming to the death rate figures,
mountain counties again stand at the
top. The fewest deaths per 1,000
population last year occurred in Gra
ham county, where the rate was only
s.B—less than half the 12.2 average
for the state. ( ,
Avery county, next door to Mit
chell the leader In the birth rate,
stands second on the list for a low
death rate. Avery’s rate of deaths
per thousand population Hast /.par
was 8.1. Yancey—another county
bordering Mitchell —and Ashe tied for
third place, with a death rate per
thousand population of only 6.3.
The highest death rate in North
Carolina last year was in Bunccombe
county, where they were 18.5 deaths
for every 1.000 people. Partial ex
planation of the rate in Buncombe
probably is the fact that its county
seat —Asheville—is a center for the
treatment of tuberculosis, many peo
ple who have become ill with the dis
ease moving to Asheville.
Denouncing Verdict.
Statesville Daily.
The American Legion post at
Carthage has passed resolutions
I condemning the verdict in the Cole
lease as a "travesty on justice” and
• a “Mot” on the “name of the
State'.'’ The same resolution also
condemns Jas. A. Lockhart, G’hur
! lotte lawyer. and Legionnaire, of
! counsel for the defense, “for the
I false and unjust aspersions ■ cast
I upon the honorable war record of
William W. Ormond, deceased"; and
it is further charged, that "the said
Lockhart, in his excessive zeal for
his rich client, and to satisfy the
maw of his bulging ego, and. bis in- i
satiate desire for the lime'iglit, !
made the same either maliciously, I
or with reckless disregard ot the 1 !
truth.” That seems to be plain
enough, and it may start something j
witiv Mr. Lockhart. Speaking of the
Rockingham verdict, the reaction of I
public opinion is very pronounced 1
in the declaration that justice was
outraged. The sentiment against it |
iu newspaper' expression, and, by ;
newspaper correspondents, is strong j
—stronger than hail been expected.
tlharity and Children suggests
that “It is folly to abuse the jury !
and charge it with corruption.” So
fur as observed here nobody has in
timated corruption in connection
with the jury. The criticism is that
the jurors rendered it verdict on
sentiment —the unwritten law,
which has no litgal standing—a,ml
violated the law in so doing. Un
questionably the verdict has no
legal standing, Mr. Brooks, of de
fense counsel, to the contrary not
withstanding.
