The members of the ct>m- P tni'Ssioir tin get information more at curat idv $ and more easily by visiting the institutions g than they could get by correspondence or £ through conference with the heads of the insti k tutions. And its a good idea, besides, to have § these institutions given the “once over” now r and then by State officials, especially when - those officials have something to do with the r money to be handed out. * As we see it the institution that is carefully ■ ‘ managed has all the advantage under the in- I spection system, and that institution will j ' come nearer getting what it wants than the one *> that seems to be run on a “hit and miss” poli -5 'ey. The commission members can get a good idea of the scope of the work to be done and j* therefore know something of the justice of the * requests for money. g Members of the commission while in Con -3Q,sprd did not make any definite statement rela five to the needs of the Stonewall Tackson Training School but just the same they left the impression that the local school will be well cared for. The}' are familiar with the rapid growth of the school, its splendid success and the inevitable increase in operating expenses that comes with the increase in the student body. It has often been said of Superintendent Charles E. Boger that he actually needs every dollar he asks the State to give the school. “When Boger asks for $100,000,” said one man who is familiar with the system of operation at the school, “it disrupts his plans to get only $99,999. That is because he asks only for what he actually, needs.” That, it seems to us, is a fine tribute to Mr. Boger, and we feel that the budget commis sion after its visit to the school and its inquiry into the management and operating cosl will be most lenient and generous to the institu tion. REMEMBER THE FAIR. Farm people especially, should remember the 1926 Cabarrus County Fair as they gather their crops. It is to these people more than any others, that the fair owes much of its success for they furnish the livestock, the poul try and the exhibitbs for the most part, i?— Our people should take a peculiar pride in exhibiting their produce and stock at tire fair fBT this reason—outside competition is not wanted and is not accepted. Officials of the fair each year receive dozens of letters from professional exhibitors who want to come here with their stock. These people go from fair to fair, charging several hundred dollars and taking away all of the premium money. They are never asked -Cabarrus for they are not wanted. The Cabarrus County Fair |» for local talent and that policy has done as much as any other one thing, we believe, to make the Fair popular. And because ‘the 1 premiums and prize money are available to our people only, our people should show their *will be ,th<j best in the hisflpry of their i The same high standard of shows, and races is to and in The State Fair will not bf in operation this and it is said the Pinehurst Fair also has BpsW- BrS >•. -a - HHs been omitted for the year. That means the' fair here will be the biggest tiling in this part! of the State and for that reason is expected to draw the biggest crowds. It is planned to play up the livestock this* year with special emphasis on the grade and quantity of hogs to be entered. The hog show at the Cabarrus Fair promises to be the best in the State this year. Rqmember the fair, we repeat, and save the best in fruits, vegetables, and canned goods asj well as meats and stock, so it can be Entered for exhibition. MANSEL TO LIVE. We confess our inability to believe Alvin Mansel guilty of the crime for which he was | convicted. This does not mean the woman i who identified him was not sincere nor that 1 the jury was moved by race prejudices rath er than the weight of evidence. If we had been on the jury we might have done the same thing, probably would have, but since the trial the public has had opportunity to study the matter in an unbiased manner and the result of this study is reflected in the scores of letters and telegrams sent to Governor Mc- Lean by persons in all walks of life asking that the life of the negro be spated. Mansel has sort of appealed to us too. He has been anxious, of course, as any man would be under the circumstances, but at the same ! time he has conducted himself so as to give a I ring of sincerity to what he has said. Gov | ernor McLean talked to the condemned negro after he had given him a life sentence and af ter the conference stated that he was more convinced than ever that he "had done the right thing. Governor McLean, Pardon Commissioner Sink and other officials have made a careful study of this case. They looked at it from the angle of human beings about to pass on the life of another human being, even though the latter is black. That’s the proper attitude for life is just as sweet to Mansel as it is to any white person. WISE CRACKS. A negro named A. Dice shot a pair in Key West, got rattled and rolled out of town.—Tampa.

We ve had all sorts of other weeks recently, why i not enlist the aid of the press in celebrating a "murder less week f—Greensboro. N. C., Record. BUSINESS METHODS PAT. Lexington Dispatch. Governor McLean seems to be in a fairway to offer convincing proof to the citizens of North Carolina that more business-like methods can safely and profitably be employed in government. The State is nearing the end of its first full year under the Me Lean system and an actual cash surplus of better than two million dollars is on hand, with the promise that when the full year is over at the end of tins month there will be a good ac tual surplus to carry over to the next fiscal year. The best part about it is that it won’t be an "accrual" sur plus either. The state departments are now keeping books on each month's business and they an know just where they stand at the end of the month or the year. Even the poor old State prison seems destined to come through the year with a small surplus. Under the spur of the governor's effort to make the best possible showing more work lias been dug up for the prisoners to do and it is predicted this week that the prison board will be able to report itself from f2S.(X>O to *30,- ahead from the twelve-months period. It is to be hoped that tne next Legislature will not do any back tracking, but that it will take whatever steps are necessary to add still more effective business methods in the conduct of the state's affairs. Indeed it might well go farther than shat and try to make it easier for the counties to get more system into handl ing the millions that come into their treasuries each year. NEGROES WHO WENT NORTH. Winston-Salem Journal. The Kansas City Star draws a graphic picture of conditions under which many of the negroes of that city live. The Star's editorial offers further proof of the fact, that colored men and women who have mi grated to the North have been sorely disappointed in their hope of finding the pot of gold at the other end of the rainbow. The conditions, as sliow-n by actual photographs of the districts in which the negroes live, “seem almost un believable,” the Star says. That they have been tolerated in a civilized com munity can be explained only by the fact that the great majority of citizens have been in total ignorance of them. Rotting, dilapidated shacks, surrounded by all kinds of filth; littered streets and alleys; insanitary «f*wer con-1 flections, or none at all: —dark and poorly ventilated dwellings; large families crowded into a few rooms—all conditions that breed disease and crime—are a part of the daily life of many people in this enlightened city.” the editor continues. Reports of similar conditions have come from Chi cago, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and other northern cities to which negroes migrated in large numbers during aud after the war. The existence of such conditions explains why so many of the negroes who went North have returned South, disillusioned, and with a new realisation of the truth that in the Soath the negro lives easier, happier and finds his grea)est opportunity for genuine progress. But, many of the negroes who went into the Northerly cities and industrial districts win remain in them, and until better ptovihton is mode for their housing needs, they will constitute a serious menace to the whole pop ulation of those centers. OBe explanation of condi tions is that Northern cities were net prepared for the influx of cOtoind popple from the South. The Houston.

Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, July 9.—The cotton "flea” or “hopper” has appeared in North Carolina and is doing considerable damage to growing cotton, according to an announcement by the State de partment of agriculture. Although the cotton flea has been common' in other states for several years and this season has been doing extensive damage to the cotton crop in Texas and other sections of the southwest, it has never before appeared in North Carolina, although entomologists of the State department of agriculture have been keeping a sharp lookout for the hopper for more than two years. The hoppers were first no ticed by W. S. Rudisill, of Crouse. N. (\, in Lincoln county, who report ed to the State entomologist. Dr. R. W. Leiby, that he had forty acres of cotton infested with the insect. “Very serious damage is being done by this insect. - ’ Mr. liudigill wrote, "and the squares are turning black • and are withering up, especialD those nearest the ground.” Dr. Leiby instructed Mr. Rudisill to send him a number of plants show ing; specimens of the hoppers’ work as well as some of the hoppers, which he is now busy examining. The hopper is a smntl-yellowigh green insect, not unlike a very tiny grasshopper or katydid. It is hard to distinguish it from the plant it feeds upon due to the similarity in color. It is a sap-sucking insect and prefers to food upou the sap in stems of the squares while the squares are still very young. This prevents the sap reaching the squares with its life giving nourishment, so that after the hopper has ’had its repast of sap, the square immediately above the stem attacked withers and dies. On several of the plants examined, from ten to twenty dead and withered squares were found. The hoppers attack the cotton much earlier than doe's the boll weevil, inasmuch as the hoppers do not develop in the boll as does the weevil, and attack the squares when they are just beginning to de velop. The fact that the hoppers seem to prefer the squares nearest to j the ground also makes it a serious' pest, inasmuch as the ground cotton is nmong the most valuable part of the crop. So heavy has been the loss in cot ton in the southwest from the hoppers that in the past week cotton has ad vanced on the New York market nearly a cent a pound as the direct result of the activities of the hop pers and other lesser insect pests. " bet her or not the discovery of the hoppers in North Carolina will af fect prices is yet to be seen. How ever, if the hopper pest spreads, it is likely that it will have some af fect on the crop estimate for the state and hence on prices. Owing to the fact that hoppers have never before appeared in this state, and that their appearance in the entire cotton belt has been com fiaratively recent, but slight study has been given by entomologists over the country to methods of control. However, the best method of com batting them as known at present is to dust the plants and fields affected with flowers of sulphur—that is, very highly pulverized sulphur of the best grade. The sulphur, when it comes in contact with *he hoppers, acts as a caustic and destroys them. The sul phnr should be applied about ten pounds to the acre and can be ap- P'i.ejF with any cotton dusting ma chine in tile same manner that the plants are dusted with anti-boli weevil powder. While the only Report so far re eeivetj has been from Lincoln county, the department expects that other reports of the appearance of the hoppers will come from other sections soon. However, if the infected fields are dusted immediately with the powder ed sulphur, the damage should be checked at once and the cotton yield not greatly curtailed. Deputy Sheriff Shot to Death.

W. STRAUS, President American Sociaty fog Thrift. TO be thrifty In the truest sens* is to thrive, to succeed, to mak« progress. Anything that interferes With this steady development is a Violation of thrift Most of ns give Ample thought to our individual ups building in s material way, but there are subtle' elements in life that all too often receive scant attention. ' > Two thousand years ago, Seneca, the philosopher, wrote: “Man la t > ___ jJrhS -o''y ■ - 6. W. STRAUS born of mutual assistance —you must live for another if you wish to live for yourself.” We cannot thrive or advance to the high levels of success through any creed of fault finding. How much time and energy are wasted in looking for the short comings of others! How many op portunities of self-advancement are •acriflced on the altars of petty Jealousy and criticism! It is within the meaning of thrift to say with Ruskin, "Do not think es your faults; still less of others’ faults; look for what Is good and strong, and try to imitate it You* : faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes.” Fault finding and criticism of our fellows to a habit that will grow eteadily unless checked. Human Imperfections are not difficult to (find if we are disposed to waste time looking let them. 'But to do •<uis not only a sacrifice Os time; but develops a reflex influence upon ourselves that is harmful.
