I was raised in a swearing family and -wear by force of habit. 1 can’t help it. (She was tile daughter of a river boat captain'). I don't go to church because the church folks would be shocked beyond, measure to see me walking down the aisle in church. But I study the Sunday school lesson every Sunday. Your lesson in the pifpcr is the only les son- help I have. I take it aud my mother s old Bible and study it tbe same as the holy folks who go to church.’ "The old lady dead now. but there may be others like her and I see that the $.

RANKIN IS HEARD BY H Delivered One of Moat Interesting and Moat Instructive Speeches In His tory of Local (Mb. _ Members of Concord’s Rotary Club met at the Y, M. C. A. yesterday in their regular weekly meeting. -O Immediately upon the conclusion of the business session of the meeting President (Aid! called upon Dr. W. S. Rankin, a trustee of the Duke foun dation, who was a guest of Dick Ran kin, to talk to the club on any subject that he might choose, suggesting hok ever, that inasmuch as Concord was very much itfberested in securing a hospital and the Rotary'Club had tak en steps looking to interesting the Duke Foundation in the city’s needs, that he could in all probability give the Club some valuable information and suggestions looking to the pro curement of a suitable institution for our community. Dr. Rankin delivered one of the most interesting and instructive ad dresses that has been heard by the club since its organization. He point ed out that sickness and suffering arc essential to the development of hu man character—that it’s purpose is that the works of God might be mani fest, and in ridding the world of sick ness and suffering human character was developed. He lauded J. B. Duke and said that in leaving his large fortune for the relief of suffering hu manity did a great thing—that coining generations would call him blessed. He urged that we should de velop a philanthropic impulse in our religion and to this end our churches could greatly assist in securing a hos-. pital for Concord. He said that if we really wanted a hospital we could get it—it being simply a question of how bad we wanted. He explained the terms under which the Duke Founda tion would lend its aid in the estab lishment of a hospital, pointing out that it had been estimated that the cost of hospital maintenance is $3.00 per bed and that the foundation will give SI.OO per bed for every two dol lars raised by the community. He said that at the beginning, it; would seem that a hospital with one bed per -thousand population would be sufficient. He made many other sug gestions that should assist the local committees in interesting the Duke Foundation in local needs. Kotarians Guy I’hillips. of Salis bury, and John H. Cole, of Lexington, were guests at the meeting of Shipp Webb, Dr. S. W. ltaukin was the guest of F. <’. Xiblock mid Roturian Burton Ely, of Morristown, N. J., was the guest of the club. CITY TO FURNISH WATER TO TRAINING SCHOOL School Heretofore Has Been Supplied From Deep Wells. At a meeting of the Water and Light Board Tuesday evening, it was decided to furnish water to the Jackson Training School for domestic puriioses. Up-to the present time, the Train ing School has been dependent oil wat er from several deep vtoter wells. During last summer’s drought, the wells to furnish sufficient wa ter for the use of the school and a pipe line had to be laid tp Coddle Creek. jUipe lines for the new source of water will be laid at once and as soon as Jhese are put down, the Train ing School will start using city water. Although no action has been taken in the matter, it is thought likely that residents between the city and the Training School , will be able to tap this line if it is found that there is apy surplus water to be sold. At the meeting were C. H. Barrier, <’. A. Iseßhour, A. F. Goodman aud J. O. Moose, members of the board. • TRAINMEN WOULD HAVE , WAR-TIME WOGE RATE Proposed Increase to Pay Would Mean $25,000,000 Additional in An nual Salary. Chicago, Nov, 4.—Proposals cen tering on restoration of wdr-tiine wage levels were approved late today by the western joint association of Gen eral Chairman of the Brotherhood of Railroad trainmen uiTTT ttie Order of Railway Conductors. The increase contemplated in such a proposal would involve more than $25,000,000 a year when applied to more than 200,000 men in yard and train service. This action is believed to be the first in a re-opening by the trans portation brotherhoods ami other na tional railroad organizations of their campaign of 1023 and 1024 which sought an increase of 12 per cent, and culminated in an increase of about five. The association lias been in session two days. Tomorrow, it will elect officers ond a conference committee. On November tuth its conclusions will be reported by l(ie grand officers to tbe southern association in a similar meeting at Washington and her 17fli, tlie eastern association will deliberate at Cleveland. If necessary the officers and conference mommit tec will be called upon to appear at the southern and eastern meetings. Brotherhood officers indicated that the proposals in their final form, as agreed upon by representatives of all three associations, might go to the managers /within 30 days. Until that time they declined to divulge de tails as formuluted by the western group.

THE CONCOfcfc DAILY TRIBUNE MORE PRAISE IS SUNG TO .STATE’S HIGHWAYS Tooriat’a After Skidding All Over Old Dominion, Find Welcome Relief at Stale Line Raleigh, Nov. 3.—Automobilists who followed Frank .Spruill, Jr., through Virginia mud into North Car olina. down to Greensboro, where Spruill took the Raleigh read and they made the long trip through the state to Rock Hill, then Florida, gave North Carolina . supernal glory, Mr. Spruill said this morning .jyben he hiked for Rocky Mount. The travelers had been through lio onoke, where they stuck in the mud and Mr. Spruill overtook them. They dragged and skidded over the moun tains, these tourists from Ohio, Penn sylvania, Illinois, Maryland. New York, New Jersey and Delaware. Mr, Spruill headed the process. They wrapped their balloons in chains and pulled slowly toward the state - line. Once across it. they struck North Carolina. "Gentlemen of the world,” Mr. Spruill said grandiloquently, “this is North Carolina. Gpd bless her. Take off your chains and goilown the pike. I am leaving here.” They removed their anti-sliders and struck a North Carolina gait. In a brief drive they were in North Caro lina. All the way they yelled for North Carolina, Mr. Spruill said They acted as boys, who had broken prison. And when they struck Greensboro they were on their first 100 miles with another 100 of hard surface. The Rocky Mount man and Nash county lower house representative doubts not that this bevy of first rat ers will go off and give North Caro lina a million dollars worth of no toriety. The baseball star of the University in the olden days appeared to be anxious to get back to the gen eral assembly where he can vote for a few more millions with which to build a few more hundreds of hard surfaced miles. fit/' Charters Show "Absurd Idiocy” Says Editor of McClure’s. “Government of city, county and state is the only business in Which the people of t(ie United States fail.” says S. S. McCltie in an article upon crime in the United States in the November McClure's. “With our un paralleled genius for organization we should hare the finest govern ment in the world. But it is the only business in the country which is carried on in absolute disregard of the teachings of universal human ex perience.” "The bulk of the city charters consist of absurd and unworkable provisions: there is more downright idiocy and absurdity in this collec tion than can be found elsewhPre in the whole realm of print. "I’eopie may say it is not the form of government that counts; but the men who administer it.” The writer says that -this state ment assumes there are. several sys tems of government possible. Then cun be only two. First the system under which the people elect only a bourd of directors: second, the sys tem whereby the people directly eleetted executives, experts mid judges. History uffords no example of a government that admini-ters ejfaet justice, that uffords adequate protection to life and property, which has departed in any way from the first system. All corporations the world over and nil civilized nations except 'the United States and the I.atin-Amoriean republics, employ the committee method- S. A. Low-ranee Dies at Mooresville Home.

Nov. 3.—When they put you iu the brand new hooseguw at the city police building you're there fur keeps. You can write that in your hatband and remember it when temptation lurks in your path way, says the Charlotte Observer. Bud men won’t liuvc a show, once they get lodged behind the bare in tho new jail. If a prisoner, who is considered a real, dangerous despera do, gets iu the clutches of the law, the police wijl give him sleeping quarters ill one of two special cells that look just like all the rest, but whieh are different. Oh, so differ ent. These two cells are guaranteed to be "fool proof.” Tliat, in fact, is what they nre .culled—"fool proof.” Chief Ferguson says “you can’t stw out of ’em, and you can’t gel out of ’em any other way. When you get in there, you are in there to stay." The city jail ought to he much more attractive to prisoners in other ways, however, tbun the old jail. It is spotlessly clean, and Chief Fergu son ami his officers have promised to keep it that way. The bunks are Hiplt ho eeijs ure roomy. New| Mystery Shaai.
