8 beautiful little thing in the arms
of a lover, whaT fame equals that?”
asks M.vriam Harry, reoowned i'reneh f
writer who haa recently stirred up the v
Paris critics with her book on “Cleo- '
patra.” , V ‘ '
“1 do not give -such importance to
beauty—so fragile and phemeroua,” -
says Rosie of the Tlolly Sisters, and
sinec Jenny is of the same i
opinion as Rosie that meanp that they
both think love is the only thing that
counts and that without it fame is
nothing.
Little Cupid comes o.T with all the
honors. Fame and beauty appear de
sirable only when leading love.
“When one choses love, nothing else
is left,” says N Madame Andre Corthis,
young French authoress.
Victor Boucher, popular French
comedian feels the same way.
“Love is what makes all the great
artists and great savants,” declares
Ida Itubenstein, “and by this, of course
I mean all that is beautiful.”
Coue’s Death Ends Cult Activities
In Austria.
(By International News Service.)
Vienna, Aug. 10.—The death of M.
Einile Coue, the great exponent of
auto-suggestion, has been the death
of his cult in Austria. The French
psychologist ,had hardly Jaeen dead a
week when the two Cpue roeioties of
the capital decided that the death of
the Master at sixty-three was too
heavy a blow for the tenets of the
cult and disbanded. Not, however,
before urging members to practice
modified Coueism within the home,
especially among children, but to
send for the doctor when needed.
Coueism became popular in Aus
tria four years ago hnd at one-time
the societies had almost 20,000 mem
bers. Lately it had dropped to half.
A National Trade Union Federa
tion has been formed in Argentina
to embrace the nntionnl organizn
. tions of raiiwaymen. tgilors, leather
workers, and pirb’jc . service em
ployes, together with local unions of
. vnrious other crafts.

STANLV IHOHWAT MEN AND 1
COUNTY BOARD FALL OUT|
Commissioners Are Socking to Force
Complete AudH.
Special to Charlotte Obaenrer. 1
Albemarle, Aug. —Unless the
present stand of cither tha- board of
commissioners or the highway board
of this county shall be changed
shortly, interesting developments ap
pear to be imminent. A fight between
the two branches of Stanly's-govem
ment is apparently brewing. Some
time ago. according to Chairman E.
C. OobJe of the booard of commis
sioners, at the request of nummerous
citizens and tax payers, the board of
cbmmifaionerß decided to have the
books of the highway board audited.
The highway board did not appear
to favor the move, but finally told
the commissioners that if that body
would pay the bill the highway board
would turn over its books to an
auditor. An auditor was employed,
and he found that the vouchers for
money expended balanced tytli the
total receipt almost to a cent. How
ever, as the auditor is said to have
suggested, in order to make the audit
practical and worth while, it was nec
essary liiat he have ail of the in*
voices. The highway board jyVus re
quested to turn over the invdigos, but
the chairman of the board refused to
le the auditor have possession of all
the said invoices. This so far, show#
*up vouchers for the payment of' n
large sum for which no invoices are
accessible to the auditor.
The chairman of the boaal 'of
county commissioners seems very de
termined to havd these invoices or
know why the auditor is' hot* entitled
to them, arid he does .not hesitate to
let it be kntfcvn that such steps wilt'
be taken as may be necessary to 1
have the highway board show up the
invoices. This dispute between the
two hoards has caused "much rumor
over the county. All kinds of wild
reports are in Circulation. Some ot
these reports-are' to the effect that
the highway board has been found
to be short oxer three hundred thous
and dollars. But as a matter of fact,
the county commissioners are not
♦ ;
f&£ CONOQftP DAILY TRIBUNE
I charging a shortage of funds. That
i board is only claiming that their
(auditor can’t find for what purpose'
large sums of money have been ex
pended by the highway board for the
j reason that A. F. Biles, trie chair
i man of the highway booard, refuses
1 to turn over to the auditor all of the
invoices. When interviewed today* J.
R. Price, attorney for the highway
board, staged that, according to hiA
opinion of the law, the Stanly coun
ty highway board is an independent
[ Organization and that as srich is not
| subject to the jurisdiction of the
.; board of county commissioners, and
i} that an auditor acting for that or
■ iganization has no right to the in
i! voices and l-eeords of the county
[highway board- He said that it was
. I true that up until a few months ago
i it had been the custom of the high
■ j way hoard 1 to pa&i on the payment of
I I numerous bills. Then the secretary
i jof the highway board would make a
i voucher to A. F. Biles, chairman of
!! the board,’ for the amount of the
, lnnip sum of such bills and he, n
! turn, would write his individual
, checks to the persons to whom the
' bills were due.
Methods Changed.
That custom was abandoned, how
ever, several months ago, at the re
; quest of the electorate of the high
i way board. The payment by the high
way beard secretary to the chairman
i of the board in lump sum vouchers
made these vouchers to Mr. tides
many times into the thousands
of dollars a month. There is where
the whole of the present trouble
: cotries In. Q. K. C. Cob’.e, chairman
of "(he board of county commission
ers, says that, his board and the citi
zens and taxpayers of the county are
! entitled as a matter of law and
right, to know just what these
vouches to Mr. Biles covered. The
highway board says that it has noth
-| ing to-cover up, but that the board
of commissioners rias no right to
] regulate its methods of paying its
bills. That the situation \vill result
| ill a law njrit of sonie sort, unless the
| highway board shall turn over the
| invoices to the auditor, there is iit
j tie doubt, for Chairman Coble seems
as datcrniined to make Chairman
Biles show his Invoices as Chairman
Biles seems determined to • withhold
them. 'Coble believes that either his
board or the county grand jury will
certainly have a rigljt to force the
highway board to show up its in
voices, and he does not hesitate to
nay that the matter will be pushed
to the full extend of the law.

A “Dollar Biscuit’ Saved a Life.
(By International News Service)
Tampa, Fla., Aug. 10.—A 'Hollar
biscuit” —which in many cases has
kept the approximate time for many
