FOR A COl NTY HOSPITAL. Machinery has been set in motion here that wi’l eventually bring the county hospital if the pi-ople want it. We can get adequate hosp Hal facili ties for every ela-s of citizens if we can be persuaded to put hjpnauity above money. Tile county commissioners will for mally be asked to cell a special bond election and if the election carries the sum of $100,060 will be available for the keaebol The will ho tvl,M In faxes and it is predicted that the cost w. 1 be so little itiat ,t will not be a burden on any one. That phase of the matter will be worked out later, when other more iinmirtant details have been perfected. The law re quires that a certain number of citi zens must sign the petition and the commissioners will then call the elec tion. Several count'es in the State have hospitals and they have proved of great benefit. It is necessary, of course, to discuss tlie financial side of the ques tion, although (his phase should not be over-empha'sized for the humanitar ian phase should come first. However, those counties which arc operating hos pitals have found them , assets of geoat merit. Cleveland county, for instance, has a $100,060 hospital, and it is being operated without any ex pense to the county. IVe smeerely be lieve that a hospital in Cabarrus would he self-supporting. Should the voters of county de cide in favor of the bond issue they would secure funds from the Duke Foundation. Dr. S. W. ltankin, in charge of hospitalization work for the .foundation, has explained the matter to Concord audiences and there is lit tle doubt hut that this county couid get funds from the foundation should it decide to build the hospital. It is uothiug but just and right that the fortunate persons.in our com munity should be cared for. . Under the present system they are nothing but public wards, but instead of the public as a whole bearing the ex pense, just a few persons now bear it. These people can't be left alone with thecir ills. We can't look the wor’' in the face us Christians when wc al low tlie needy to go in want. No question before tlie people of Ca harms in recent years has been of more -'mportaifce than this one.' It is a subject that challenges our best thought ; it challenges our hearts and our souls. There are many persons in the county, no doubt, who wilL opprtse the bond issue as they oppose all pro gressive measures that mean u little wore taxes, but we have faith in the people of Cabarrus county. We refuse to believe that the majority of the people in this county will allow a few peats each yeur to bias them to such an ( extent that they cun't see the pub lic need. * ' j Biff- . i THE WETS START THE FIGHT. Any doubl as to whul the wets hope for. or at least plan, in iho present session of Congress, has been allays k ed by the action of Representative Hill, Republican, of Maryland, who already has presented in the House a joint resolution proposing the repeal of the eighteenth amendment. The measure was one of the first presented to Congress and it was pre sented by a recognized wet lead**, and J it must be accepted as a warning by (the drys. Nothing will be left undone by the anti-prohibitionists and the , best way to check them is right at the start. 1 Os course we do not believe Con gress is going to repeal the eighteenth amendment. If any change is made it , will be to strengthen the present laws. However, the introduction of the Hill resolution shows that the wets are very, much on the job and that the. forces of prohibition must'be constant ly on their guard. i ‘•Red" Grange did not help colleg iate football any when he capitalized his prowess as a grid star, but how many youngsters would have done dif ferently, wc wonder. The football star has averaged at least $9,000 a game since leaving college for his work on the field and now he is to receive $.30(1,000 for his first movie feature. Grange would probably have labored his entire life without making half that much money if he had decided to turn down the professional offer. Somehow, though, he would have left a better taste in the mouth of the public if he had finished his collegiate career and then turned professional. By his action he intimated that he played football not for the sport but for the dollars that were to come lat er. Grange is a wonderful football player, no denying that, but this sea son other stars have shown with more lustre. Grange is drawing big mon ey because he apjieals to the public. He has been modi' an hero, because, as Heyward Broun so well put it. "he is red-headed and an iceman." The Ka'eigh Times and Venus. Raleigh Times.

The Tar Heel, a tri-weekly publiea . tion at the University. The state , ment is made in an editorial in the issue of Thursday. Every occasion that brings the alumni back to the Hill brings a copious supply of liquor and a copious amount of drinking, the editorial as.- serts, saying that the fault is not with the students. The editorial is reprinted as fol lows : DRINKING AT THE UNIVERSITY. Considerable drinking on the part of alumni and students seems to have followed the Carolina-Virginia game and the use of iutoxicants seems to have been pretty general’y in order at the Thanksgiving daives. As an aftermath it is reported that the Uni versity. either through the faculty or student council, is preparing to take drastic action to prevent its recur rence. | The faculty mill grinds almost as slowly as that of the gods and it will probably be days and weeks before the student body will be able to as certain whether the official univer sity is aroused, whether drastic ac tion is to be taken, and what is to be the nature of Midi action if taken. It is generally thought that either \vh Y-alc dismissals will, follow, or that the threat of two years ago to abolish dances will be carried out. ; in taking up this subject, appar ently from hearsay, it can be said that the drinking problem hero is much older than Thanksgiving. 1925. and what is to be said follows, wbeth r or not the reports reaching the T nr Heel are exaggerated There are supposedly on the law 1 b oks of the State of North Carolina special laws prohibiting the sale of j intoxicating liquors w ithin a certain ! distance of Chapel Hill, especially I placed Caere to prevent the use of liquors by University students. Since •hat time general prohibition laws ■ave been passed nations’, state and J probably local. Chape! Hill is sup- 1 sed to have an impenetrable wall j f 'aw around it protecting it avnicst 1 tb-' inroad f boot eggers. With this barrier thrown ar un i it. he univer itv community shell’ll be unusual'y free of liquor. Having in underworld to deal with, the ferret ting out of any bootlegger t’ at might appear on the scene shou'd be a com a ative’v easy matter. But as it is. hpi r is bought and su'd in bread day’ight bo'h on the streets f Cl'.a 'e' ’lil’ a’d n t'-e nniversitv campus, "hose fault is it that such conditions exist in this co’’ege town so we'i pro terted by the majesty of tlie law of fie United States of America, trie sovereign State of North Caro’ina. ill pan gust county if Orange, and the sacred munieina itv of Chapel Hi”? • The remedy to the drinking prob rm here is not the spasmodic expul don of boys that have beeu found guilty of using liquor-. The student u'imil does not, and can not, control the situation. Not until some definite steps are taken to check the supply of whiskey cau the student council hope to func ipu. Surely if the State of North Carolina thinks it worth while to vote mi lions of dollars for its univer sity, it should be willing to give a little attention to enforcing the laws SOMETHING TO THINK OVER. Advises Sale of Monroe’s lighting System to Southern Rower Co. ’’nuroe Enquirer. Last week I had a talk with a man who ives in another town, iu regard to Monrep’s water and light p ants This man is a construction engineer or at least once followed that business, and ; s mow. engaged in other pursuits. He has no axe to grind. He said: "Monroe needs above a’l else at the present time to sell its electric ightieg system to the Southern Power Company.’’ “How could we profit by selling?" was my inquiry. “Better service in the first place,” said the man. "You are getting here in Monroe about 90 vets oo your i” a"descent lamps when you are en titled to 110. Second, the consumer would pay only 8 cents tier kilowatt rat end of 10 cents.” "That sounds good, but what else?” “The Southern Power Company when it takes over your p’ant will place more industries in your town i than you'll ever get otherwise. 1 was in Mr. Lee's office at Charlotte the other flay and I saw a number of in quiries from various enterprises tAiut wanted to locate in North Caro’ina Some of these preferrd Ahe smal’er ccftmmnities, but contiguous to Char lotte.

But if the use of liquors is ! a crime iu the sight of all laws gov i erning the university, and the pen alty for the use of liquors is expul sion, conscientious effort should be made to rid the community of wliis key. So ’eng as present conditions exist in Chapel Hill no boy should be ex pel’cd from the student body for be ing caught while intoxicated. , The fault is uot with the students.

The idea of the Uniou is for expedition of court trials.

On the ferry, crossing *rom Connecti cut, a stranger, announcing himself as "Pooch," had joined them. Pooch, now in the hack seat, has just leaned over and handed the mystified girl a big roll of bills. Back in Aunt Celi mena's Connecticut home is a worried company. Connie was to have an nounced her engagement tonight—to Bing Carrington or Salt Adams — but, instead, she has disappeared. CHAPTER Vl—Continued And what a situation! Midnight or thereabouts. Somewhere be tween Manhasset Bay and Hemp stead Harbor; Connemara Moore in deceptive fancy dress, planted in a brokendown—not to say up—car in the company of two strangers, ob viously of nefarious calling, bent on criminal endeavor. For there could be no doubt about it; Mr. Pooch, of course,—wfjh his fifty thousand dol lars which Connemara could hear crackling in one of the more inti mate recesses of her costume—but also Mr. Whatever-his-name-was'. A nice young man too. A little slow on the uptake, perhaps, a!- ' though he had picked her up fast enough, CSnnemara was forced to admit. Yes, a nice young man—a little less than Salt and more than Bing, which was probably just about the right combination—but a rrook, a crook. Connemara remind ed herself. A fifty-thousand-dollar rrook! *'l wish he hadn’t been a crook, I really do," Connemara remarked sadly to herself. She certainly had no intention of associating herself Soon a darker shadow proclaimed s boat at anchor in the deeper water. with any bright young stranger who appeared to be headed for Atlanta or some other federal resort, unless he were dead back there the road, which seemed not unlikely. Where was everybody, anyway] \ Conncmari’s wheel came to a stop —it could only have been a few seconds since the crash—and Con mentnara found herself staring at the two individuals from the Pierce who had now advanced much closer. “What goes on, Ku Klux?” one of them inquired. A flashlight blinked in her face, blinding her, and at the same mo ment there was the crack of a re volver over her shoulder. Conne mara felt a hand on her arm, found herself jerked backward onto the - road, heard the inimitable accents of Mr. Pooch in her ear, “You come with me, kid—over the speckled sands!” “But Mr.—Mr.—your friend!” Connemara protested, and wondered why. "To hell with him!” Mr. Pooch announced, dragging her after him into the shadows. “He’ll have to look out for himself with, them highjackers. Guess perhaps he’s croaked, anyway!” 1 Yes, perhaps so. Anyway, there was nothing to be done now but follow Mr. Pooch, much as a tender follows its engine. As for the nice Jroung man— let him go, the fifty thousand dollar crook. Which was exactly what David Lacy was saying to himself from his place of precarious concealment in the ditch in which he was pick ing odds and ends' out of hi&Jiair. She was a nice girl-metre than that, mysterious, charming, alluring: Da vid Lacy allowed himself the world, Intriguing. But she was a crook—no question about it, a friend of that poisonous Pooch, who had recognized her and given her money.

So have they all gofc, so will all yet "go. One of the tutiugs in Wictyta stenographer,, T It was alt too bad—too damn, bad— but let her go, the fifty-thousand dollar crook. ‘ “Good riddance,” David Lacy de cided under his breath. “You—you Whited Sepulcher.” In of which he found him self vyriggling along the ditch, in the direction taken by Mr. Pooch and that smooth-tongued young de ception. For perhaps the first time in her i vivid young life, things were hap , pening almost too fast for Conne mara. She was able, usually, to pluck at least the tail feathers, asjt were, from any passing event, but . on this occasion the needle of Con nemara’s mental recording appara tus was seismic in its evolutions up on the chart of her perceptions. She was being dragged along madly through the dark by the snorting Mr. Pooch. Behind her on the road a commotion of voices and re volver shots bespoke an increasing tumult, in the midst of which the gentleman in the overturned sedan could still be heard, plaintively abu- sive. “What you firing at me for?” n* kept inquiring. “What do you think 1 am, a shooting gallery?*' v Aside from that, Connemara found herself just a breath or two behind the pageant of human events rocketing past ner in fact, she fomjd herself entirely out of breath, in her enforced attempt to keep pace with the fugitive Pooch, whose grasp upon her arm had'not for a moment, needless to say. relaxed. Mr. Pooch was steaming across open fields, hurling himself through hedges, floundering over ditches, decanting himself on the further side of only too frequently recur ring fences, and wherever Mr. Pooch went, Connemara was oblig ed to follow, a reluctant, gasping. , willy-nilly tail to his comet, much encumbered by her nun's attire. At last there was a sandy' slope, the sudden level of a deshrted beach, I a glimmer of water at sight of which Mr.\ Pooch went into reverse. Con namara sat down at once. “Wh-wh-wh—she remarked,, and Mr. Pooch laughed. “All in, ain’t you. kid?” he grin ned at her. “Pretty light on my feet for a heavy guy, I am. No time to lose back there; had to make our get Away,” “You n-needn’t have b-bothered. about me,” Connemara assured hint, and Mr. Pooch roared with mirth. “Zat so?” he chuckled. “Say, kid, you’re a hot one. Think I’d leave you behind with all that dough for *cm highjackers to get their hooks ? Now everything’s going to be just stick with me and you’ll wear diamonds!” With this dazzling prospect m view, Connemara arose to her pro testing /ect, for the good and simple reason that Mr. Pooch had begun to move forward again—his hand, if anything, firmer upon her arm— prospecting along the beach. A few hundred yards away they came to a dinghy', a black dinghy with a white bottom, fast in the sand. Mr. Pooch shoved the boat clear with one hand and turned to Connemara- | “In you get,” he commanded, “and ; sit in the stern—that’s the square end—where I can see you, my goil!” Connemara sat in the stern, and Mr. Pooch climbed in after her and possessed himself of the oars. “Now we’ll look for this baby's mother,” he remarked and began to row, sloppily but not without re sults, for soon a darker shadow pro claimed a boat at anchor in the deeper water —a small power yacht, black with a -white bottom showing when she rose on her line. • “Ain’t no one aboard,” Mr. Pooch observed, and let the dinghy bump But Mr. Pooch was wrong. There was someone aboard, who manifest ed himself from the tenebrous cock pit in the form of a genial voice heavily freighted with. Scotch—both, linguistically and liquidly speaking/ “Hooray!” said & voice, somewhat unexpectedly. “Hooray yourself,” Mr. Pooch re plied. “What time is it?” “ ’Same bells," the voice assured him. “Nine bells, daylicht-savin’ | time. Come richt aboard and havs ’smore coffee?” “We’ll do that little thing.” Mr. Pooch chuckled, and helped Conne mara up the side, much as a police- ! man helps a prisoner into the van, I The voice in the cockpit revealed itself as a little man in a white-vi sored cap, grinning delightedly from car to car. He was, it was evident, fried, blotto, ossified, in short drunk, as only a Scotchman can be.
