Dangerous Wires Wires may all look alike, but they are not. To a family in the western part of the State, a high-power ed line was just an ordinary wire, and installing a radio, two members of the group threw the aerial over the charged wire. They never knew what killed them. The schools would do well to teach the danger there may be in wires. Bootleggers Against Cannon Every bootlegger in the United States is hoping that Bishop Cannon will be crucified. They would perhaps go further and want to see the Methodist and all other churches renounce soberness, because drunk eness and partial drunkenness is the soul of the liquor dealer's business. Why Cursing and Growling? We know yf nothing more unfaiT than to hear a man cursing the government for low prices when, at the same time, he refuses to accept the favors of the government. Only a few days ago a certain farmer was complaining at the low price of tobacco and held the government responsible. At that moment, the government had a man on the warehouse floor to as sist Him in grading his crop so that he would not be totally unable to have anything to say about his grades. Neither did he know that the government had sent a man here to tell the farmers that the gov ernment would gladly lend them all the money they actually needed at 4 per cent interest to enable them to hold their tobacco and demand a better price. Both the grading system and financing plan have been highly endorsed and have helped millions of people. Yet, our farmers refuse to accept these favors, apparently preferring to curse the government and growl at everything. We need not expect govern mental favors until we cooperate and try to help our selves. As long as we pile our tobacco on the mar kets and make no effort to try and fix a price on it, just so long will the buyer take it at his own price. And from a strictly business standpoint, is the buyer to be blamed'( What can the government du for ui when we re fute any of its proposals to help us. The sad thing about the whole situation is that we seem to be mak ing no progress whatever towards establishing a mar ket for ourselves. Selecting Names /or Teams (Me of the big objections to ball teams both foot ball and baseball is their nick-names, although these names may be appropriate. One team is known as "Wild Cats," and another as "Blue Devils," and so on. Just think of such names for church college teams. They have gone to the woods and to perdi tion to find names for their teams. The name of the school would seem sufficient to distinguish the several IMIW, ADVISES SOWING OATS AND RYE ♦ By C. H. RABON Much thought and effort ha* been given to put across what it called the ! "Live-st-Home" program and it doesl seem that anyone who i* farming' should make enough food and feed crop* for hi* own use and also to have | a surplus for sale. This fall due to the very low prices I of what are considered as cask crops j such as cotton and tobacco, and due to' tl»* severe drouth in many sections of I the country, it NCIRI my desirable to put in extra acreage of feed crops such as oats and rye. In sowing these crop* the land should be well prepared 1 and food aeed of varieties adapted to the soil and climatic conditions of the ccmmtsnity should be ueed. These crops should alto be liberally fertilis ed. U has been proven My tiases over Wt per unit of eny crop, the coat of producing the crop fa reduced when' •WW property.

Others have been beard to predict no rain in three years, and still others refer to the situation as the beginning of the millennium. Such explanations and predictions are obliged to be unfounded, and show the speculative nature of the human mind as to the creation and gov ernment of our earth and its kindred planets. They apparently forget that the creator not only formed these wonderful things, but that He also, at the same time and with the same marvelous power, created an order in which these things are worked and by which they are to be governed. We have various seasons —hot, cold, wet dry and in termediate, —and why kick against these things is hard for one to understand. We can hardly reason out why some people can always point out what they call faults in nature and never mention its wondrous features that are good. Big Bill Thompson, Chicago's mayor, has been so closely associated with the gangsters of that great city that they became acquainted with his wife and pro ceeded to take $20,000 in cash and jewelry off of her. The unusual [>art about the theft was the guarding service put at the disposal of Mrs. Thompson. A special policeman, on guard over the money and jewelry, was disarmed by the bandits who took his fire arms and badge away with them. The theft is good enough for Big Bill; for he had no business being so friendly with the underworld in his city. Of course, it must be humiliating to Mrs. Thompson to lose her beautiful jewelry and the large amount of cash. If the mayor's wife can't be protected, by special police, apparently there is very little protection, if any, for the commoun run of citizens in that great city. It is clear that Chicago needs another mayor and a better police force. Expecting Transportation Question Congress is already planning for a big fight dur ing the short session opening in December. One of the major problems will be the regulation of bus lines. Undoubtedly, the railroads are pushing the fight in an effort to cripple or curtail bus service. Naturally, we all feel sorry for the railroads in a way, because of their loss of business. However, why not allow the law, "survival of the fittest," to operate in their case as well as in the case of machine and factory hand? The human hand loses it power and should cause more alarm than a resulting change in the realm of machinery. More than 100,000,000 people in America have been disappointed this fall. They have been looking over the hill where prosperity disappeared a few years ago, apparently expecting to see it, steed-like, come galloping back. In this they have failed to observe every law of nature. They forget that yester day never returns or that the mill never grinds with the water that has passed. We are foolish to gaze our eyes out, looking down the road where our great wave of prosperity recently traveled. It is time to about face and look for the coming tide which will surely come. Of course the wave will not be like the great tidal one brought about by the war which was the most unnatural as well as the most unsafe prosperity we ever had, but we will see peace, pros perity and happiness, the kind that is limited to our actual needs. Let us then turn our faces from the passing day, and look cheerfully towards the rising sun which will surely bring us light, life and glory. No as we once had, passes a gener ation but once, but progress is always with us when we push. Carolina Teachers' College has widened its doors and is now admitting young men to study at the institution. The modern trend has been toward the mixed school and now it Is difficult to find an e*- clusive school either male or female. However, the question has not been settled as to which is the best. It is generally conceded that schools have been put on the mixed basis MOT* because of expediency than be cause it is really better for young men and women. cent nitrogen and 5 per cent potash. For soils that are in a very high state of cultivation, there should be u.*ed from 300 to 400 pounds of 16 per ' ce'nt acid phosphate. High analysis fertilisers may be in all cases in place of the above I recommendations. | SALT WATER PISH jIN THE ROANOKE j Crabs, Menhaden Are Seen In River This Week AtPlymouth | Not in the memory of Plymouth's ( oldest inhabitants have crabs and menhaden been teen in Roanoke' River, or has the stream ever be fore been knows to be brackish or salty. Crabe and menhaden have been seen in large quantities during the past several days, and the river water which as far back as citicens can re call has been of a murky, yellow hue, is now a bright green changing at times to a deep blue.
