A woman |toured oil out of a can into the stove, where she thought the fire was out, but it caught up, burst etAhc can" burned her, and she died in a few hours. There i- too much danger in -jKiuring kerosene on a lighted lire, for people to take any chance whatever. The horrors of being burned to death - should c ause every jßTson to.be more careful. Don't Expect Too Much Anxiety'would perhaps be „ the proper word to de seMhe the. feelingsof many people in this section of -the count ry - wlit > are- - fo-tcr-wliattiit' -t+f tobacco i> to In in (ieorgia tomorrow, when all the markets of that State will open: * While llit- price has already been fixed, it" has not been given out to either the warehouseman or the farmer. The price is a thing that comes down front the ex ecutive board of the big-tobacco companies, which agree as to what kind and what percentage each par-' tiriprjtmg company will take. _li they setidj.ivtyers, the farmers will thank them for their mercy., If the) pay' above the cost of pro duction, tin faFmei will call it grate. So tfte thing now on the mind of the farmers is * Will the tobacco buyers have either mercy or grace, or. the (ieorgia market tomorrow'f" iAH iking at every angle of the situation,, the farmers would doubtless lie called fools if they expect much. \ Teachers' Salaries « 'i'he trend to raise salaries of leathers by a hiding scale sent down from above (Raleigh and county beards) each year has possibly had its day. The scar city of teachers in the past has made it very hartt-t" get a sufficient number of properly trained ones to fill the schools of the State. * That-condition*, however, can not last with the large number of educated and trained teachers coming from the colleges each year: The positions are lieing filled very rapidly, and that, of itself,'wil hold the salaries ■•down. ~ No one, however, complains that good teachers arc getting too much. The complaint come on ac count of paying teachers by a regular schedule, the good and the bad on the same scale; perhaps too lit tle for the good and certainly too much-for the poor. The prj'sent method of paying teachers on a' basis of what they themselves were as students and not what they are a> teachers is fundamentally wrong anil should be changed. Hunting and Fishing in North Carolina Hunting and fishing are still sports in North Caro lina. 138,5V9 people bought ftcenses to hunt and fish hist seaMUi at .1 i o>t of ,000. Of the hunters licensed, 878 were non-residents of the State. Martin County sold 1,875 licenses and received $2,427 for.-them. The preservation of game and fish in the- State is a part of the worliof the Department of Conserva tion and Development The work of the department is more than sustained by the income from license iees. which are willingly paid by hunters and fisher men. who know that proper regulation is the only way to preserve game; and unless it is done, within a lew years there will be no game to hunt and few fish to catch. -v- — ' . This haptens to be one Case where the creation of new officers should have the approval of the public, aiid while this branch of the work is important, it does not a[>proach that of the work of the forestry di vision of the same detriment, which has for its task the perfection of a better system of growing trees, combined with a more careful and sensible method of preserving and saving them. It it too easy now to see hundreds of thousands of trees burned and killed by fire in a short ride in any direction any day; most of the time caused by thoughtless carelessness, part of the time by blind ignorance, and occasionally caused by excusable accident. it is a sad thing to pass the thousands of acres of once beautiful forest trees, burned and falling worth lets to the ground. If the department succeeds in eliminating even a small proportion of the forest fires and is able to get land owners to give timber lands 1 letter care, we will save millions every year that is now more than carelessly wasted, it is ruthlessly de stroyed. Straw Votes Mean But Little The presidential straw votes being conducted by many newspapers need not be counted as a safe guide to stake money on. Many of the best voters on both sides will not vote. Some strong partisans of Smith will vote a dozen times while the Hoover partisans are doing exactly the same The voter does not have to sign he only ha.- I> check irby a cross mafk and mail it in,—There is nothing to prevent the man who takes a dozen.dif ferent pa[>ers from clipping the ballots from each of them and mailing them in each week. And then, too, it would be pretty easy to print a few hundred thous and of these straw ballots and put them ip the hands of a friend who could have therrr signed in wholesale lots. . lr*Ts doubtful if.such news is.legitimate, because it i : . so inaccurate. * One of the great troubles with the present campaign is inaccuracies. While this is not i new thing in (xilitical cam|>aigns, the signs |K»int to ! more falsehood in this campaign than in - any other in the history of our country. * f\. I One of the needs of the voter i ; more truth. Makes Strong Appeal Clyde R. Hi icy made political speech of the campaign in North Carolina at Shelby on lues day, July 24. No North Carolinian, and few Americans, can make a stronger speech than Mr. Hoey. His speech was a liurning indictment of the Republican Party, which, however, is no difficult problem, since the policies of the Republican Party' have, like their practices, been lar from the principles of democracy. He advises lining up from bottom to top for the party candidates. Democratic Party in Serious Position Hie rJehHitalic: TarTy need W attempt to minimize the seriousness of its position. It would be folly tt> attempt to make believe that everything is all right. 8 Tlie day is now come for men to think. We must recognize the importance of good county and State government, and no man doubts the• democracy of North Carolina. I'he State chairman is a Democrat; as is the candidate for governor. The |>eople gen erally appreciate the Democratic l'arty. of the State, and are going to support its ticket. National), things are quite different, and many of the true and tried simon-pure Democrats of the State are still inquiring where a Union League Republican national chairman intends to lead them. The fact that Senator Simmons has quit the na tional committee is the best evidence that something is wrong. The voters of North ( arolina know that Senator SimmofuT will not sell them out, "and they have so long trusted him as their leader that they will not desert- him now into a camp led by Raskob. Even many of Al Smith'.; strong supporters are very much afraid of this fellow Raskob, who has but one thing to commend him to Democrats, and that is that he voted' for Woodrow Wilson. He certainly stands with folks who do not stand for democratic principles. The danger |>oint is in being choked to death trying ti* swallow Kaskob. A Terriffic Toll Ike L'ftivcrsUy ,\t"U'S l.tttcr gives many startling figures on automobile fatalities and gives some good suggestions as to how to prevent many of them. It says: "l-ast year 22,000 people Were killed in automobile accidents on the highways of this coun try. Many of these people, probably most of them, were innocent of recklessness or daring on their |»art, victims of another's recklessness or criminality. This terrific toll of lives is wicked and unnecessary. The American people are riot going to give tip their automobiles; they can not if they wished to. Life has been reorganized in terms of the automobile —though not in one |>articular. _ \\e have not limited their use to those who can be trusted with them. We no longer permit anybody and everybody to go armed. We have taken guns away from the intoxicated, the neurotic, the criminal. An automobile Is also a dead ly weapon the court has so declared it. Its use should be limited to those who are normal, sober, and law-abiding. Yes; even more than that—those who are free from any charge of being reckless or inconsid erate. Careful drivers, respectful of the rights of others, ought not to have to share the roads with drunken and dare-devil drivers. The time has come when the right to drive U car should be restricted to those who can be (kpendeirupon to cooperate in mak ing the highways safe. More Than Mere Oratory Needed Folks generally are great borroers, which is not specially a wrong thing to do. Yet we doubt if a preacher has the right to borrow a sermon and jam it full of wind and\"bust" it open and never give it to his congregation. Yet such is sometimes the case. A preacher' picks up a patented sermon and delivery it in school-boy oratorical gusto, all except the spirit and the life. No preacher should attempt to preach for mere oratory. While it may sound good, it ought u have spirit in it. -4 A blind nun who has been sentenced to serve six months at the penal farm should have no difficulty now in seeing the error of his ways.— lndianapolis News. THE ENTERPRISE Things Tom hink About By JAMES D. TAYLOR esterday I spent the day with an old friend of mine who soon will start on a long, long journey. I have several old friends who will not be here much longer. There may be some among the old who do not care for the fellowship of youth. I do not know any, however. I'sually ttiey tove to feelthe touch of youthful hands. Youth is very thoughtless. With its vigor and its joys, youth goes on its merry way without stopping for a little while with those, who ap proach the great adventure. i'robably if youth only knew how tlii' old hunger for human companion ship it would share its joys and by so doing bring cheer and strengthen tin hearts of those ntaring the end of the trail. When you pal with those who have covered the route, you are using your time well. You are bringing joy to thi-m and all the. While you are learn ing the short-cuts to a successful life. WELL BRED PIGS MAKE MORE MEAT Tests Made by S,tate Col lege Official Reveals Interesting Results Even a hog is susceptible to good breeding, and when he is well bred lie will make faster and more ccenomi c,,l gains than will his' brother who lacks such quality of blood. » . —'Wc—cunducluJ i»'n tests in 1927 which prove the prevailing o| inioii that pigs of breeding, pi. (id in the proper environment and led a good ration, will produce more Satisfactory results than .pigs of non descript breeding' says Karl Hostel ler, in charm |J swine investigations State CifUege. 'VVe used 129,piKs in the tests. Sixty-nine were bought tn eastern C arolina and while they v. ire thrift) aii'l ill good condition, gave 110 cvideucc of any .particular breeding' THe SScf »»t) were pure bred or'high-grade FolandrChma ani mals bred on the Blaikland. Station faun, near Wenona.' As to results, Mr. Jlostetler stall's that the (>9 pigs poor breeding had an initial weight of 92J pounds at thr beginning of the feeding period and fame out weighing. an average of 21-1.5, The average daily gain was 1.1 pounds, and it required 479.5 pounds of feed In produce KM) puUnds of gain. Hut the good pigs of high-class binding weighed an average of 103.4 pounds 'at the beginning t»f the test iiud came out weighing 240.5 average. Ilu se pigs made an average daily of 4.4 pounds an drfquired only 3/ 1.8"J pounds of the same feed to produce u 100-pound gain. i'.ach group of animals received shelled torn, tish meal, and minerals from self-feeders and were couipara blr as to rations and environment. Therefore, it is obvious, states Mr. Hos tiller, that good bredeing had some thing to do with the increased gains made by the more profitable group. The ability to produce rapid and eco nomical gains from feed consumed is certainly transmitted from parent to oft spring in the same manlier as is color, l'orui, and -.size, he states. Despite depredations by bean beet les, the ordinary farm garden is still the he»t paying piece of laud on the pli'ce.
