“THE-GREATEST OF ALL IS I Cor. 12:31 and I Cor. 13. Sit your hearts on the higher talents. And yet I will go on to show you a still higher path. Thus. I may speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but if I have no love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal; I may prophesy, fathom all mysteries and secret lore. I may have such absolute faith that I can move hills from their place, but if I have no love, I count for nothing; I may distribute all I possess in charity, I may give up my body to be burnt, but if I have no love, I make nothing of it. Love is very patient, very kind. Love knows no jealousy; tbvc makes no parade, gives itself no airs, is never rude, never selfish, never irritated* never resentful; love is never glad when others go wrong, love is gladdened by good * ness, always slow to expose, al ways eager to believe the best, al ways hopeful, always patient. Love never disappears. As for prophesying, it will be superseded ; as for ‘tongues,’ they will tease; as for knowledge, it will be superseded. For we only know bit by bit, and we only prophesy bit by bit; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will be superseded. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I argued like a child; now that I am a. man, I, am done with childish ways. At present we only see the baf fling reflections in a mirror, but then it will be face to face; at present I am learning bit by bit, but then I shall understand, as all along I have myself been under stood/ Thus ‘faith and hope and love last on, these three,’ but the great est of all is love. t'/.' " T" COMPLAINT AUA1NST SOME OF THE YOUNG NEGRO DRIVERS , There is considerable complaint in the county about the bad road manners of some of the colored people who drive cars. A young lady said to us the other day that she has frequently been forced to run her car far off to one side of the road to avoid a collision with chrs being driven by some negro boys and negro men. It is thought that it is the negroes oif the younger genera tion who have such bad road man ners. The older ones do not be have this way. They learned their manners in the homes of the white people of culture and refine ment. Some of the younger negroes have learned their bad j manners from some .who do not I have culture and refinement. Courteous and polite people do] not hog, the road. They would j as soon be caught sitting down to j the table and grabbing for the best on the table without form or ceremony. A decent regard for the welfare of other motorists should mark the driving of an,V| car, whether if be white on col ored. This* much should be said as a warning to any one, whether white or colored, who persists in endangering the lives of other people by holding to the middle of the road when passing another car: Public sentiment will tolerate this thing only so long and so far ; and If the impudent young upstarts, whether white or colored, continue to ignore the rights of other motorists on the road in the reported insolent fashion, they may expect nothing less than that their driving Bases will be taken from them. hey haven’t got sense or man ► enough to drive a car proper hen they will have to be pre ted from driving, he negroes in Caswell have reputation of having better The Political Outlook By Albert T.

We are sure they are jealous of this reputation and will endeavor to live up to this high standard. To do this the older ones and the leaders should advise some of the younger ones who are not so care ful about their manners that they must show the proper respect and regard for other motorists on the road. Good manners can not be dis pensed with on the road any more than in the home or market place. WHEN SELLER MUST SELL AND BUYER CAN WAIT The situation in the tobacco marketing business which was described in yesterday’s story from Wilson might stand other and further explanation. There are certain factors which appear as simple as anything is which is influenced by laws of supply and demand. A late opening of the markets and an obvious need of tobacco farmers to obtain cash against obligations expected to be met at this time,'combined per haps with other factors, have re sulted in a greater amount of to bacco offered for sale than the market can absorb. Under such #Gene Tuitney , ' (H535HSS3 W i Carrying the responsibility erf the title. Champion Gene Tunney was i never more serious in hi* life than ! in the finishing hour* of hi* train ing at Chicago for the first defense of his crown. . * circumstances prices drop as naturally as a stone in water. Hence the advice of warehouse men for the farmers to hold to their tobacco and not dump it all on the market at once. A more radical suggestion, that the mar kets be closed for a week, nfas not looked, upon with favor; but the fact that it was looked upon at all ought to give some indication of how seriously the situation is re garded. Whether the advice will be heeded is another matter. The tobacco farmer automatically holds up his offerings when he thinks the price is not right—or holds it up as long as .he can. He will be fairly certain to do that now. But he can not do it longer than the moment when the need for cash becomes imperative. The buyers can hold up. Therein is the difference. All of which is old stuff. The markets in the east have known the situation before and no doubt will know it again. They are fac ing the same confusion and dis organization that, in greater or less degree, they have always faced and will continue to face; and they have the same un stabilized market they will always have so long as there is no gov ernor and so long as a situation exists in which teller must sell and buyer can wait. When co-operation raises its head after the dreadful heating it has taken and becomes a fact accomplished in the tobacco world, it may still be that condi tions closely similar will prevail. But it is primary economics that a governor on the market which permits the crop to bp offered periodically and opportunely in stead of being dumped in faster than it can be absorbed, is the answer which has been found elsewhere to just such problems. The dispatch notes that although independents are buying, the larg er companies are not. Well, would there be any reason other than that they think they can ultimately buy cheaper?—Greens boro Daily News.
