SO Cep Is a Month All Subscriptions Are Due in Advance WHAT CO-OPERATION MEANS. We believe Cabarrus County is now staging one of the best fairs in the State. In fact we doubt if there is another county fair in the South that is better for every feature found as such fairs is to lie had Here and in addition ; -there are many other things here thgt onq i farely Sees at a county fair. V'“Officials of the fair association deserve credit! ij ihfor the fair but this year for the first time since | fair was started four years ago, they do not ..“Cj£et a ll of the credit. This year they were giv g- eh more co-operation than at any other year The people changed all of a suddhn from pes 'E Siinists to optimists, or at least the officials this SMsfcar have been blessed with the optimists in-; * stead of being bored with the pessimists. It’s funny, isn’t it, how people like to predict dark and dismal things? Ask any" fair official you know, for instance, how more pessimists tlian optimists he meets. It’s nothing less thhn remarkable that we have • progressed at ■all With so many pessimists always ready to discourage and bewail our efforts. Looks like people would get just as much pleasure front spreading; sunshine as fromj spreading gloom but they don’t. Take for ex-j ample, the "l-told-you-sos." How many of them have you ever heard making opt : mistic' predictions? The man who says "I told you so” is the fellow who sees you rushing home from the fair grounds to get out of the rain . or who meets you coming home from the Sun day school picnic with your clothing wet. This year he it said to their credit, the moan ers and wailers havp been fewer and the offi cials of the fair have had fine qp-operation. As -—a result their work has heen-more pleasant and it will be. we believe, more effective for we expect all attendance records to he broken here during the week. YOUTH IS NOT SERVED ALWAYS. That youth must not be served always was strikingly demonstrated in the world series which closed Sunday with the victory of the St. Louis Cardinals. The most heroic and the most effective personages in the series are men who have seen years of service and who won through experience rather than brawn. Herbert Pennock and Babe Ruth certainly bore the lion's share ot the Yankee defense and offense and neither is a youth. Penned as a matter of fact has been in the major leagues for more than Pi years and Ruth cer tainly is no novice, having played with the champion Red Sox many years ago. Yet Pen nock's left arm was the most effective gun in the Yankee defense and Ruth's big bat was the team’s one and only big offensive threat. Mr. St. Louis one man stands out heads and shoulders among the other heroes and he is Grover Cleveland Alexander, veteran of six teen campaigns in the majors. Twice with his good right arm and experienced brain Alexan der baffled the Yanks and then in the deciding game with three men on bases and his teair leading by only one run, he was rushed intr the fray. Needless it is to say lie won, while the Yankee fan’s shouted their approval. Brawn is all right hut it is far more effective when it is seasoned with experience. That’s the difference when it is seasoned witli experi ence. That's the difference between youth anc’ old age. Os course these ball players are not old in years hut in baseball years they are “ole timers” who at best have only a few more, good games left in their pitching arms, so they ■ have to resort to other methods of winning hah games. They look back into the years the) have toiled for certain facts that they liavf ‘learned from experience and with these facts go on winhing with as much consistency as the youngster who throws solely with his arm. PLAN MEETING IN FRANCE. H Members of the American Legion in all part' | members of the American Legion in all parts of the United States are meeting in Philadel > phia now and it is believed the convention del egates will approve plans for the 1927 conven- U jion in Paris. pJL* A .movement has been started to elect Gen eral fPershihg copnnander next year so he can b return to'France? with: irtahy of the men whe Ip served under him overseas. He has shown I tHat for various he does not want the honor at this time and no doubt another will he fev ■ efrnag'n unless he -should change his mind. We would like to see; General Pershing ac cept the hopor and certainly if he ever intends tp accept it he -should 'do ;so this year. It would be?most‘fitting fori-the-men who served under him in khaki to be? under his leader ship when the great convention meets in the French capital.' _ ;• V;’ %• There still, seems to be differences of ’qpin ion on the: advisability of the Legion men gp- to-Jil’rrfn'ce. hfft uiiless something df&ttrc beiifi i |ir|g*tUe,;n\e'ft»ngAyill be;fffeld there. Wtfe Frenth’officials are anxious to en tertain the former service man and naturally jfhey. are’gOing* to do,<all;they can. tO'keejLdown any , 'anti-A'nr‘erican: feeling that might arise in ofAhe country! y. Legionnaires: will have form also. and no doubt they can have a big influence on the Freflch reception of them by the manner-in which they conduct themselves. All of the burden of proof will not he on the French by any means. IT’S A GOOD THING THEY’RE GONE. With' cotton selling at a loss of 5 cents per pound it’s a good thing, don’t you think, that the negroes are all gone from the farms in some Southern States? Os course, when the negro exodus started a few years ago farmers in all parts of the South saw only ruin for them. There was no one left to work the crops and so the other things the negro was expected to do. . Such a condition certainly has not brought the ruin predicted. As a matter of fact we are raising more stuff than ever on the farms and certainly without cotton we didn't need any body else to cultivate it. ■ The pity is that something didn’t really happen to cut down the size of the crop.

Winston-Salem Journal. *'I)o you business men realize that all property is pro tected by law? Do you net know that justice depends upon three important factors, the jury, the lawyers ami !thc judges? If. then, you evade jury service and thus shirk your part in the protection of your neighbors property and rights how can you expert other citizens v o protect your property and your rights by serving on juries?" This series of sharp questions was addressed to the members of the Lions Club yesterday by Judge J. M. Oglesby. Through the medium of the press these same ,urations are addressed to the larger body of North Car olina citizens. Judge Oglesby gave great emphasis to the two char acteristics of a capable juryman, high moral character and intelligence. The definition of negligence js clearly defined by the law, said Judge Oglesby, yet many a jury man does not possess sufficient intelligence to understand the definition. He evidently based this statement upon observation of jury service. The trial of a case in which negligence is alleged by a jury of unintelligent men is a travesty on justice, the jurist intimated. Judge Oglesby said that recently he was holding court n McDowell County. A man who was required to re port to account for his behaviour, having been convicted >f a crime, could not be found. The Sheriff volunteered lie information that the man was busy on the Grand Jury. The law specifically demands that only the name >f citizens of known reputable character be placed in he jury box. And yet a criminal serves on the Grand Jury! Judge Oglesby declared that he had seen many nstances of men of law character serving on jtlrics. That so many men of deficient ; ntelligence and low ;rade character serve on juries is due to the successful ‘fforts of intelligent business and professional men to ceep off juries. Judge Oglesby asserted. His address to the Lions was a stirring challenge to them to observe heir duty as citizens by serving on juries whenever summoned to do so. A STREET CAR STRIKE IS BRAINLESS BACK NUMBER. Uale : gh Times. The chief reflection in connection with the Asheville itreet car strike is wonder at the east with which the human motor can operate on a one-cylinder brain. Strikes in general are passe. They were never more ban partially successful, and in their nature never •ould be. For with the best chances of success the strike has always been aimed at punishment of the public, ather than the employer. The principle is that of force o lx* applied by the weaker party. Whenever the force >e<ame too hurtful, the stronger force of public self-pro eetion came into play. The logic of all strikes that are lot gestures is suicide—and suicide is unpopular. In the case of street car and short haul traffic a strike in present day circumstances can do no more than slight y irritate the public convenience. Even in New Y'ork Tty, where millions depend on the subways to carry hem long distances to their work, a recent* strike failed Miserably because of the substitute afforded by a multi ude of motor cars. In a small city like Asheville the •ars absorb the street car patronage with ridiculous ?ase. The truth is that surface transportation by rail : s on ts last legs. In small cities it has reached the point where it is maintained by franchise owners not because hey find it profitable, but because they must continue ttreet car operation as a part of a contract including oth »r and more valuable franchises. In t ; me the street car will becomiy'a nuisance to the public, of which it will gladly be relieved. No strike amounts to anything unless it can hurt idmebody other than the strikers. The Asheville opera tives are acting as if they were living in the 90’s when the fl’vver was djtknOWn. Ulysses 8. Grant was originally christened Himm Ulysses Grant. History's error was caused by confus ion on the part df a Congressman who recommended Hi ram Ulysaes Grant for Point. His name was mixed with that of his brother. fTimpson Grant, and the erron pous name became fixed. J , Government employes traveling at Government expense are allowed to tip waiters not more than sixty centß a day, and bell boys not more than thirty cents. fBE COH'iSDkD " DAILY TRifiUNfc 1. - QUESTION OF WHIPPING CONVICTS IS REVISED More Liberal Tse ot Lash, It ..Is Ar gued, Wpuld Cure Insubsrdbtltfon.

Raleigh that sojne legis a tion on the subject will be necessary. It probably will not take the form of milder statutes toward roughnecks who have. made behtings so nearly i riminaP. The agitation will more likely assume the form of more intel ligence among the prison handlers. It is well known that the chief humilia tion which comes to guards and petty officials about a convict camp is the cussing which the convicts bestow upon these minor men. T’oey do not take it gracefully Soloeitor Evans of the Wake-Franklin district leans right sharply to the lash and very far away from the reformers. He has knowledge of unspeakable speech and conduct by prisoners whom ; lie has sent to the gang. He does j not hesitate to suggest that a lash | wrnild cure many of them nor is he j so strong for so much ceremony and supervision of it. He would safe ; guard the beating, but lie would cut ns much red tape as possible. However, the beatings become less j and less popular. There has been very little trouble with state prison ers who ’nave intelligent and studious men working over them and a hu mane superintendent at the head of I the institution. The state may pa\ ! more money and get better men ; it is ! not likely to lift the ban from the lash and bid every supervisor e’.othed with a little authority to name the medicine which t ear.i offender must take. Dr. James W. Lowber, of Aibstin. j Texas, is believed to be the world’s champion degree holder.
