A Dangerous Practice
The habit followed by many of the Williamston
people in rushing to fires whenever the alarm is sound
ed is a very dangerous one, and especially so as to
bicycle riders, who rush at the greatest speed possible
through traffic, endangering the lives of not only them
selves but of motorists trying to dodge them.
The law requires all automobiles to diaw Up to the
curb whenever the alarm is sounded and remain there
until the fire equipment has passed and is out of the
way. After an accident happens?and many have
been all too narrowly averted?it will be too late to
heed this warning.
The Week-End Accident Toll
A three-quarter column of news items in a certain
' morning paper recently carried the following informa
tion: Nineteen persons hurt at Edenton over the
week-end, six of them badly injured; one report stated
that seven youngsters had suffered variously broken
ankles, arms, ribs, shoulders, and other injuries; six
teen motors were involved, nine cars being demolish
ed: two drunken drivers were arrested and two bib
and run drivers sought. Another article states that
five men were injured in an accident at Durham. A
third article carried the news that a High Point youth
died of accident injuries sustained when the car in
which he was riding with another young man and
two women plunged down a 100-foot embankment.
With these glaring headlines occurring every day,
we need to take warning. Why should we have so
many accident on Saturday nights and Sunday? It
must be because many people get together, drink, and
get careless. Frequently a bunch of youngsters will
crowd into an auto to such an extent that the driver
cannot properly handle it.
We can easily understand why mothers are always
uneasy when their boys and girls are out late at night.
They of course know the tragedies of young, wild,'
gay life, and the heartbreak occasioned in bringing a
boy or girl home dead.
The only time to prevent these accidents is before
they happen.
Selfishness Breeds W&i
At the last meeting of the League of Nations, the
representative of the Irish Free State, Eamon de Va
lera, is said to have made the best sjreech, substan
tially as follows: "If the great powers of Europe
would only meet now in that peace conference which
will have to be held after Europe has once again been
drenched in blood; if they would be prepared to make
now, in advanced, only a tithe of the sacrifice each of
them will have to ntake when war is begun?the ter
rible menace which faces us all today could-be ward
ed off. The problems that distrait Europe today
should not be left for soldiers to decide. They should
be tackled now by the staesmen."
It has always been the habit of the world to make
all sacrifice for war but none for peace.
Those who are willing tu sauiiicc and wurk fut
peace and who are willing to give up their trade are
opposed by those who profess to want peace but who
are unwilling to give up a little of their trade and
traffic and money-making and had rather see their
neighbors' sons killed in war and their country
plunged into debt for centuries than tu lose one bit
of their war trade. ?
Just so long as we leave our disputes to he settled
by soldiers we will have trouble. We must learn
enough to settle our difficulties by statesmanship and
not by markmanship.
The Standard Oil Company seems to prefer war
because they sell oil. The DuPonts want war be
cause it takes powder. The steel trust wants war be
^Se HTRjtfires steel products, hmct, many tnn
would like to have war for the trade it brings.
The mothers of the world do not like war, because
they love their sons, and they are the ones whose
tm bruised and destroyed by war.
Ona Time Landon Is Right
recently said the people of the
country want hones, a chance for their children, and
r security. They do, indeed, which explains
f elected Franklin Roosevelt in 1932 and h
' they are fsiag to reelect him this fall.
War Facing the World
War would again seem to be facing the world. All
thoae nations that are not engaged in war at the pres
ent time are trying to prepare and equip themselves
for war at a very rapid speed. We are literally
spending billions on shot and shells to be used to kill
human being with, and, although they are our neigh
bors, they are trying to get ready to kill us at the
same time It is only a question of who gets in the
first shot. Or it may be that we will be struck with
a dose of poison gas or have a leg or an arm shot off.
How foolish. And even the most ignorant of us
know that it is foolish. Paraphrasing a famous quo
tation, "What fools we mortals be." The world spends
enough money on war to educate all the children in
the world, yet we keep on enriching a few warlords
and starve and kill the common herd.
Why do we not learn better? We cannot be called
civilized or Christian and continue fighting our broth
ers.
Modern Youth and the Bible
Mordant on News-Herald
Recent literature sent out by the American Bible
Society contains this timely article on "Modern Youth
and the Bible," by Amos Alonzo Stagg:
"The days through which we are now passing seem
to be fateful days. In some ways the future if un
certain. At the tame time the future is largely in the
hands of the youth of today. Therefore, what youth
does today and tomorrow will have telling effect for
generations to come. Things are in a plastic stage
now; old institutions, waya, and customs are being
changed. If change is to be for the better, there must
be careful thought, keen insight, moral and spiritual
principles brought into play.
"The leaders in other days in our western world
were -.tiviied in Scripture. In former generations men
read and knew their Bibles, and at periods of crisis
such men gave leadership and guidance. Cromwell,
Wilberforce, Washington, Lincoln, are only a few of
many that might be named. As leaders of other times
received light and leading from the Book, so may
modern youth, the leaders of tomorrow.
"Youth is idealistic and has a natural desire to do
something worthy and constructive in life. In the
Book of Books is pictured the outstanding idealist of
all time, the young man Jesus of Nazareth, and the
challenge that He gave to remake the world may fur
nish the task which modern youth is seeking.
"Again, youth needs inspiration to great daring and
noble personal living. Others have found it, and I
gladly testify that I have found it in the pages of
earth's greatest book?the Bible."
And as a guide to Bible reading the society makes
The following suggestions Tor various moods of the
human mind:
When "things look blue," read Isaiah, Chapter 40.
When tempted to do wrong, read the 139th Psalm.
If you are facing a crisis, read the 46th Psalm.
When you are discouraged, think over Psalm 29.
If you are "borad," read Psalm 103 and 104, or
Job, Chapters 33-40.
When business is poor, read Psalm 37.
When you are lonely or fearful, read over Psalm 27.
When you are anxious for dear ones, read the 107th
Psalm.
When you plan your budget, read St. Luke's Gos
pel, Chapter 19.
'Co live successfully with, your-fellowman, follow
Romans, Chapter 12.^?^ ?
If you are sick or in pain, read Psalm 91.
Right Way To Cut Timber
Morganton Xeivs-Herald ?
Cutting timber for lumber will not increase the acre
age of idle land on a farm if only the more mature
trees are cut, says R. W. Graeber, extension forester
at htate CoUtge.
By the selective method of cutting second-growth
pine, he said, farmers may secure a profitable harvest
and yet keep on the land a stand of timber that will
utilize the plant food and moisture available.
When pines less than 12 inches in diameter at breast
height are col and mannfarturad by the average com?
mercial mill, the cost of manufacturing exceeds the
value of the lumber produced.
But when treffs 12 inches in diameter are left to
grow, for say 10 years more, they will increase their
diameter by 3 or 4 inches. Trees this size will pro
duce lumber worth from $3 to $7 above milling costs
per thousand board feet.
f armers cutting pole stands of pines by the sekct
ive method will .leave the thrifty, y?> ?nprnfit?KU
trees for future harvest.
V .
Two Roosevelts ^ V
Baltimore Sun.
Theodore Roosevelt, performing in his usual style
at a Republican rally in Illinois, said of his Demo
cratic cousin's administration that it "has squandered
the wealth of the nation and bound on the backs of
our children a burden under which they will be strug
gling all their lives."
There is considerable truth in this assertion, and
the degree of truth ought to be admitted, but It is
not the whole story. If we are going to follow young
Teddy in these truth-telling expeditions, let's put
another fact into the record. If our children had the
money their eiders leet in busted banks and busted
bonds and busted stocks sad busted real-estate values,
before the end of 12 years of Harding-Coolidge
Hoover rule, why, then, our children could pay off
the cost of the Roosevelt administration and dismiss
it with a shrug of the shoulders.
Mind you, Theodore, we are not defending the
policy of Cousin Franklin. The only thing
we say is that you are not going to holler so loudly
about Cousin Franklin's spending that you will make
us forget how much your old bosses coat us. You
cant get away with that. . . ?
Standings BASEBALL T Results
The Martins have just come through their wont week of the aeaso
Starting Monday of last week, they dropped four of the seven games
played, and Saturday they ran into their first shut-out of the season at
the hands of Greenville, with May doing the twirling. Prior to Sunday
the Martins had scored but 2 runs in 28 innings. However, they got their
batting clothes on Sunday and proceeded to get even-plus with the Green
ies here Sunday, when they hopped on Card and Schuman for IS hits and
shutting Greenville Out for her first time this season, 104). Despite the
bad week, Sudduth, Douglass and Walters managed to raise their per
centages, with Douglass registering a 27-point gain, from .268 to .295.
Sudduth is up from .370 to .589, " while Walters boosted his .306 to .310.
Most of the other regulars in the line-up dropped, although team batting
is exactly the same as a week ago, .272. There are few relative changes
among the leaders in each department of the tabulation as the squad starts
the final week of the season. Following are the figures for all games in

Lespedeza Should Be Cut
During Month ot August
Lespedeza should be ready for
cutting in August. The Korean va
riety will bloom about the middle
of the month and should be cut at
that time. The other varieties will
be blooming about the last of Au
gust when they should be cut also.
If the common, Kobe, and Tennes
see 76 are cut at an early stage like
this, they will make better hay.
The second crop then will re seed
itself or make enough growth for
turning under to improve the SOU,
When growing lespedeza for seed
purposes only, however, it will not
pay to cut off an August hay crop.
