By CHARLES P. STEWART
NBA Service Writer
' Washington, Dee. 1. —“The best
luck a government employe can have."
said an erderly chief clerk who has
sn-n' al' his adu t years in a bureau
of one of the Washington executive
, departments, “is to be fired before
'he has time to become really de
pendent on iris job.
"Under The old spoils system, when
a general cleaning out usually fol
lowed a change in administration,
there was hope of) this.
"The civil service commission prac
tically has ended it.
"Today a federal appointment gen
era'ly means a life sentence. The
poor boob who gets onesdpesn't know
it at the time, but lie ifiight as we‘l
be accepting n nice cell in the At
lanta penitentiary.
“The chances for advancement are
about equal in either case. In
Washington maybe yru win your way
.upto a chief clerkship. At Atlan
ta, if you’re good, they make you a
trusty.” ' ,

The old man pondered, his faded
eyes brooding.

Afternosn Newspapers Organize.
Greensboro Heeord.
The organization of the North Car
olina Association of Afternoon News-'
papers, effected in this city Saturday
evening, is a great forward step not
only for those papers but augurs we'l
for the future growth and develop
meat of this state at a time wlier
conditions are rine for uiipreceden’ed
advancement of the state along a'
constructive and des’>ablc«lines. Th
association tend str-ngly to uni
fixation and strength of the afternoor
press, a 1 ready recognized as the great
field for the newsjmper of today.
It is conservatively estimated that
even now some G 50.000 people are egi
brae.d among the readers of the as
ternoon newspapers of North Car
'ina With a c'oser bond of eomm-n
interest established and accentuate'
among these papers and through r‘
definite and well planned effort t<-
promote efficiency in the gathering
and dissemination of reliable news of
the state and particularly es its gov
ernmental affairs, the afternoon press
will be enabled- to give its renders a 1
better news service than ever before.
The masses of the people do not have
time to read a newspaper, save in the
most perfunctory and cursory maunr
before they must be at their dai'y
work, and by the time they returr
■home in the afternoon the paper with
the latest developments in all import
ant flews is awaiting them at their
homes.- Furthermore, they have leis
ure and comfort and can read the as
ternoon paper thoroughly and thought
fully.
Even in the larger cities of the
eountry the number of morning news
papers is steadily decreasing, botji in
strength and in numbers. There are
reasons for this I rend in the news
paper world,, and as the afternoon
newspapers develop in capacity and
efficiency they will grow even mere
notably in advertising putronage and
in readers until they become every
where tile leading newspapers. The
organization of the afternoon press Os
.North Carolinavis a noteworthy for
ward step in the recognition of a
community of interest umrng their
and the application of the co-opera
tive principle, in ; promoting efficiency
and better service. This marked trend
in journalism is particularly marked
during the, last decade and will con
tinue during the ensuing one.

COUGH OR COLD
THAT HANGS ON
Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them
now with Creomulsion, an emulsified
creosote that is pleasant to take. Creo*
mulsipt), is a new medicaj discovery
with two-fold action; it soothes and
heals the inflated membranes and in
hibits germ growth.
Os all known drugs, creosote is rec
ognized by high medical authorities as
oae of the greatest healing agencies for
persistent coughs and colds and other
forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion
contains, in addition to creosote,' other
healing elements which soothe and heal
the infected membranes and stop the
irritation and inflammation, while the
creosote goes on to the stomach, js ab
sorbed into die blood, attacks the seat
of the trouble and checks the growth
of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac
tory in the treatment of persistent
coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, I
bronchitis and other forms of respira
tory diseases, and is exoe&ent for build
ing up the system after colds or flu.
Money refunded if any cough or cold is 1
sot relieved if ter taking according to

BUILDING NEW COURT HOUSE'
r "T j
W- C. I)owd Says It Would Be
“Stupendous Folly ”
Charlotte News.
Opponents of_jhe proposal to move
:he Mecklenburg county court house
from its present site to the new lo
cation bargainedr for by the county
commissioners op East Trade street
delivered their opinions to the ecm- 1
missioners Monday morning at a spe-,
’■•J session which t’ae board called to'
ear the pr- tee'ants. ;
Arguments were presented by rep-:
■eseutetive citizen* of both-the city!
and county against the removal of
he court house. Magistrate John
** Hunter, of_Ma'lard Creek, assert
’d that the rural citizen would have!
to borrow money' this year to pay
Kieir taxes, and, therefore, would not
welcono' the additional cost that
gvould have to be met by increased
taxes. A B. Justice said the pro
'oned new court house by floating a
i’'ort term nqte issfie in-tead of by a
11 nd issue, shou'd not be token as an
■suranee that it would not mean ad
litional debt to the county
The gmup sos protestants named

in the city and is a real estate man
but resides in the county. He in

magistrate in Mecklenburg countv for
‘ forty years; Frank S. Neal. iroini- j
nent farmer of Charlotte township, J
and A I>. Justice, member rs the j
CSar’ctte bar.
Mr. Dowd summarized bis opinion
about the contemplated removal of
the court house by the statement that j
“our new city hall is a handsome,
monument to the most Ktupendous
municipal folly I ever saw and 11
don’t expect to see anything t" equal
it unless the commissioners
carry out their plans about a new *
court house.’* Mr. Dcwd argued
further that the present court ’liouse, 1
with improvements that can be made
with comparatively little expense, will!
last the county and meet all its needs
for a court house for a long time
to come.

Stanly County, news dispatches
say. will probably abolish the cnaii
; gang system of handling prisoners as
a result of the expose of conditions
by the State Department of Pubh
Welfare resulting in holding Super
irrtendent Crandford for trial on tLi
•havge pf murder.
The Department has done well ii
bringing to the attention of the com
what appears to be flagrant disregard
for the most rudimentary principles
of humanity in the treatment of
prisoners. Its showing in the test
:n«ny presented before Judge M
E ory sitting as a committing magi
trate .was impressive. Os cours
-Cranford is entitled to a trial
fair and free tria’, and must be he
innocent until he has been prove
guilty. Yet. if even a vestige ot ti
ev.deuce adduced by the representr.
tives of the Department of Publi
Welfare is borne out, they will hav
rendered ihe .State! great .service
though wo are shamed in the recog
‘nition of it.

I New York, Dee- I.—Trading or.
the cotton exchange' today has again
I been almost entirely professions’
with outside business quieter than
ever. The early weakness was -luc
chiefly to local selling on a generally
favorable weather map and the se
| ief that the export movement had
reached its jH-uk and will now begin
'to fall off as the foreign demand has
decreased considerably of late.
Today’s exports were very heavy,
232,873 bales, but apparently hau lit
tle effect on prices. Liquidation of
December against purchases of May
and October was in evidence and
October was pnrtictllariy strong
Sentiment remains mixed' and Ilic

waiting for tlie next bureau.
