Not even a pestilence is more terrifying to a community, than a lack of water supply ' when a 'fire breaks out in a thickly built up portion of a city. This lack of water supply has so often been the portion of this city, at critical . times when fires were destroying property, that the actual seriousness of it is felt by few. That a great calamity could overtake this city, because . there is an insufficient water, supply, is not really appreciated.. Tet the danger exists, and its modification at least, if not its entire removal should be undertaken. The city authorities have had house to bonse inspection made to see that water users were not wasteful, by letting their water pipes 'run du ring cold weather, instead of cut ting of the water before it enters the premises, and so prevent free zing pipes. The water meter has been suggested as a remedy, but the question can be seriously asked ,. would any householder be less likely to cutoff his water because of a registering meter! When it is known that possibly open faucets will prevent frozen and bunted pipes, the water meter cost will not be considered as against the chance of a plumber's bilL I A remedy over the present sys tem, would be to divide the city into sections. There is a large sec tion that could be given water du ring certain hoars, and cut off cer tain hours. This of course,' during extreme weather. This would give water ; in sufficient pressure when demanded. Every consu mer would even on the coldest days have sufficient water during certain hours, when now then is no certainty of sufficient water at any time during the 24 hours, in many parts of the city; with the pressure about 15 or 20 pounds at the city halt. ? And this with the water works engines going at high pressure. It might be urged that this isolation of sections , would work hardship to consumers. It wonld place the city as a whole in Afar safes position, as the shut offa wouldenable the water .works to accumulate: water in the. tank, and a fire' alarm would be. the sig nal to shut off M the time one or all sections except that in which the fire was located. This would at least give tha authorities con trol of the water supply, which at present they do not have." 7- CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. . . PUBLICITY. ( The Journal has received a copy of the first issue of the "Bulletin of Greensboro Chamber of Com merce," the official organs-issued monthly. This publication is 12x9 inches and contains matter perti nent to and of the local .organiza tion in whose interests it is pub lished. It is excellent ia every way, but It suggests the query to the Journal, why does the Greens toro Chamber of Commerce need an oiT.cial. publication,' with two e i" ut daily newspapers in its tl'y, each do doubt standing rea cy U r romote and assiafc any and every thinj tbat the local Chamber c f Cl-wtos r 't ar.k t 1 ' i 1 i ; ly by those in t i la t'-e Lalklla's puUica i. ii c,f csar:;s tlvSjm.

Guaranteed underi dxact Copy of Wrapper. r " . tion having an official publication in any city, and for at least two reasons. First, the local newspapers are entitled to the consideration of be ing official publications. They are published daily, are up to date on every act or proposed net of the Chamber of Commerce, keep the membership advised as to meet ings, and are the ready champions to assist an organization that is alive to its community's best in terests. Being thus ready to help, any money that is to be paid out for publicity should be given to the local newspapers. ' The second reason, that an offi cial organ is quite likely to cause the local newspapers to feel that their efforts and help do not meet the organization's wants. If this be tray the Chamber of Commerce cannot prove a local force, for if the local newspaper is not to be part and parcel of the community, its every organization that seeks public advancement and public welfare, there is not going to be any thing worth while doing. COURT ETHICS. A murder, trial is not presumed to develop niceties of thought or language. The attendants at such a trial except those directly con cerned,' must naturally be morbid, for certainly there can be little less than animal grossness, in watching the; condemned, and listening to testimony that cannot but partake 61 the animal, appealing to the lowest condition of man'd nature. Such a trial as has occupied the time and attention of this commu nity during the past week- has been specially debasing. " Every association in its connection has been revolting to good morals. That decency has to submit to such scenes and language, is part of the necessity that makes mur der an open matter in its trial That too often gives .ingress to youth, makes an open seen for the public pillorying of men and women, their secret lives exposed J to the laugh or the. crowd, their sins to the gibe of lawyers, reflec ted in the snicker of the multi tude, that hangs upon each word of witness and question of coun- sel. ". '-- '." "' ":' ' . . And yet in wantonness of eveu a murder trial,, howover revolting, there would seem that a rule of professional ethics should rule aud cootrol. . That while riot of lan guage and rampage of action to wards witnesses might - prevail, yet counsel would not seek to bring each other into the cess pool of Iniquity, aa possible partakers in the excesses of those brought before the court tribunal. , But to the mortification of litis citizen ship, such has been the case, as was witneswd aud heard in court. Such an act has no excuse. The court, in Jud'0 and counsel can not lower their dignity and char acter to become the ribald Je t of 5 1 ForlifiirtsViid CliiHren.'- Ths l(ir.d You tlavo i; Always : Ddaght Bears the Signature'. if TM MStTAtfll aMMiMt.

I faced him fat a boiling rage, - For while I bad always cberiahed the natural and le gitimate hope that I, as his next of kin, might soma day profit by reason, of his accumulative instincts, he could have left his money strewn broadcast throughout the house from the time I bad first come to lire with him and I would not have touched a dollar of it, even had I known I never would be even suspected. Furthermore, none bad a -better reputation for honesty' than myself, and his everlasting treat ment of ma as a potential thief had always nauseated me. .Not caring bow be might regard the act, I drew the key to the front door from my pocket and flung It on the table before him. It was the only key, to the house 4 had ever possessed and its surrender left ma without means of entraaee, but without another word I stalked out into the open, banging the door behind me. -Never had I been In: a mora villainous mood than now aa I strode , through the trees on my way downtown. .-"" - -1 deelred to aea Bruce again. I was eonaereed to know Just what turn his daapondenay might take, and I thought that I might cheer him up a bit Know ing his usual place of habitat in his hours of recreation it waa not long be fora I had located' aim. He waa humped up buaaard-llke in a eeml-prV vate room of a oafe, his bands sound-, lug tha depths of his pockets and his chin ranting upon, his breast A cock tall, apparently untaatd, stood on the table before) him, ; I sat down on the other side of . the board, noticing tnat his eyas were closed, r He had the general appearance of a man: who had bean drinking..; Ordi narily . immacute of person, be was now eeml-diereputabla. . He bad not shaved that day, bis necktia waa dis arranged and bis hair rumpled. How ever, as I bad never known him to be tha worse for liquor, I waa Inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt In tain ease and ascribe bis unkempt-' 'ass to brooding over his misfortune. "Brace," I said after a moment ' - He 'opened his eyed and looked at mo vacantly, but made no reply.- In a general way I attempted to console him, but he only aaook his bead In si lence, and finding my efforts unre warded I finally abandoned them, Or dering a mild decoction for mytelf, I touched hla glass and drank to tha hope that better times might soon be on the wing. - He -emptied his glass without reply, and sank back Into hla dejected posture. Five minutes later ha seemed to oe half asleep, and I determined to take ' him bodily in hand. Not wishing to have blm seen la that condition by ny friends who might hance to antar, I snook aim Into a semblance" of life. Then ma king him take my arm, I assisted him Into the open air. Darkness had al ready fallen and tbe.llghta of the skyscrapers were beginning to sparkle. He lurched heavily against me, and seeing lhat bis condition was rapidly becoming hopeless, L signaled a cab, opened the door and thrust him In aide. He fell upon tha seat mutter ing some address to which be wished to be taken and I turned to the Jeha who was propping him up. ."He will be all. right in a couple of houra. At present ha la not feeling particularly wall and should be taken care of," I said slgnlfloantly. The oth er nodded hla understanding. Then with brief Instructions for him to handle his charge right side up wltb care, I turned away aa ha picked up tha reins. J ,1 formulated my own plans for the evening. In my then state of mind, I m nat care to exert myself, prerer- lng to go where I eould sft Quietly and be entertained by others. I de cided upon the theater.

' , 4 Not being aoouatomed to retiring be fore if. I was not la tha least aleesy. Leaving tha light burning; I threw myself upon the bed as soene by scene I ran the film of the events of the day before my mental ayes. And so deep ly did I become engrossed In this that when I aroused myself and looked at my watch It was aftar midnight- I arose - and stood before tha mirror, searching my own face' keenly,' my mind still reverting to my " quarrel with my uncle and its probable future conse guanoes. While I Cld not' Imag ine that In bis present state of mud be would be particularly concerned aa to where I was,"! resolved to eall aim up and ad rise him of my whereabouts. It did not seem that it oould. do any harm, and undoubtedly it waa . good policy to try and conciliate him now that wa had given full vent to, our spleen. Going to the wall telephone, I asked for his number, and a moment later beard his querulous voice over tha wire as he demanded to know who it v was that -called him at ' that hour; I answered him with the quiet ness I always strata to employ ex cept upon rare occasions when I for the momept lost command of myself. At Last In One of the Dark Cloeeta I ; "" .
