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

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.

We are beginning to hear some people explain the
cauae of the long spelj of dry weather. 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

For soils that are in a very high

You CAN'T help admiring the charm of natural beauty, any more than
you can help enjoying the natural mildness of a Camel Cigarette.
Camel's mildness starts in the sun-drenched fields where the tobaccos
grow. Only the choicest of the golden Turkish and mellow Domestic
leaves are selected for Camels. Through every step of their cure and /
manufacture the delicate, sun-ripe fragrance of these tobaccos is scien
~ tifically preserved. And so Camels come to you mild and delightful—
not flat and flavorless.
» t t
Swing with the crowd to Camels. Learn the happy difference
between true mildness and insipid flatness. Smoke without fear of
throat-discomfort or aftertaste—just for pleasure!
