XXI MARSHALL, N. C rRIDAYvSKPtEMBER 3CU927 CIRCULATION-2000 f FIRE PREVENTION WEEK GOVERNOR SETS WEEK OCTOBER 9-1S OF A PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR The State of North- Carolina has for years led in efforts to reduce Are waste and its attendant loss or Die and property. October 9th to" 15th inclusive, has been designated as FIRE PREVENTION WEEK through out the United States, and I appeal to our citizenship who are so familiar with the destruction of fire to be come vitally interested in this great economic waste. Carefully gathered statistics show that in 1926, $6,649,039. worth of property was destroyed by fire; that 286 human beings were burned to death in North Carolina, caused large ly through carelessness; compared with our National fire loss of 600 mil lion dollars and 20,000 lives destroy ed, this is low", but entirely too great for an intelligent citizenship such as ours. It is well known that careless ness and ignorance of fire hazard go had in hand as the chief causes of our great NATIONAL FIRE WASTE. I, therefore, urge that the week of October 9th to 15th be set aside as FIRE PREVENTION WEEK in ac cordance with Section 6080 of the Consolidated Statutes, which provides that the Governor of North Carolina shall each year in October, issue a proclamation urging the people to a proper observance. During this week I also urge that fire drills be held in schools, factories 4nd stores, and that they be continu ed at regular intervals. That schools, theaters, churches, public and private .hospitals and In stitutions, factories, stores and hotels be inspected and see Ijurti eyery safe olr?l$iUf al so that exit facilities' are sufficient in case of fire. That local authorities examine thoir fire ordinances and make them suf ficient if they are lacking in any par ticular. To this end I urge our citizens to thoroughly co-operate with our Insur ance Commissioner, and that every mayor issue a Proclamation. I earn estly request the co-operation of ev ery citizen, Chambers of Commerce, Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis and Women's Clubs, and all other civic bodies and the press. As October 9th comes on Sunday, I especially appeal to the clergy and Sunday School superin tendents to bring this to the attention of their people. Now, therefore, I, A. W. McClean, Governor of North Carolina, in ac cordance with law, do issue this my Proclamation, and do set aside and ..designate . October 9th to 15 th, 1927, a Fire Prevention Wk and do urge all the people to a pro per observance of this week in obedi ence to the statutes o f North Caroli- Done at our city of Raleigh, this 1st day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and f tweniy-aeven, and in i the om hundred and fifty-second year pf our American Independence.

By Phillips Burroughs Strong, in Kind Words. ' "The Six-Year Molar" This tooth is so often mistaken by the parents for a temporary tooth since it erupts about the age of six years. It does not replace any of the temporary teeth but erupts back of the temporary jaw teeth. This six year molar is one of the most iippgrtant teeth we ever have. It has been called the "key to occlu sion," in other words, it is the four six years molars, an upper and a low-, er n either side, that holds the jaws InthV proper Relationship -while; th j other teeth are taking' their places in the Jaws. It is so often that we find this tooth decayed at a very early age, even sometimes when it is not fully erupt ed. The grooves are very deep in this tooth and it is difficult for the child to keep it clean. It is formed from from different lobes or centers and sometimes we see a failure of the union of these lobes which will cause decay to set up, and the loss of the tooth if immediate attendance is not given it When we lose a six year mo lar it will cause the tooth in the op posite jaw to become elongated since it has nothing to strike against, and the gum tissue is sure to become dis eased. Also when the second molar comes through at the age of 12 (ap proximately) it Will be in a tilted po sition causing a hammering force a gainst the tooth that it strikes. une ox tne greatest tragedies in dentistry is to see a child under 10 or 12-years of age come to you with an exposed nerve or an abscessed six- year molar. It takes about four or five years' after the tooth erupts for the roots, to be completely formed, therefore, to remove the nerve and fill the root canal is not successful, .' ' The majority of grown people to-day have lost one or more' of their six year molars, simply because tbey did not know at the time that it wa a permanent tooth, or either neglect ed It If we wait unta pain' reminds us that something must be done, it is so often .to ourh sorrow, and, in a tew instances we may find the' tooth may rfever -Mnoatedewilliflni: its way into the pulp chamber, caus ing the ; nerve to die. Later" this will abscess nd the pus of coarse, is ab sorbed Into, the blood stream. Often, we have heard someone talk about a "gum boil, and sometimes regard it as a trifling thing. When in reality n so called "gum boil", is nothing mere or less than an abscess. . ' . ' , ' i If more attention could be given this tooth and save H, then many of the problems that wa now. see would be eliminated, If the parents would only bear in mind that it is not neces. aary for a child to shed any of tjhe temporary teeth to have this erman.: ent six-year molar it would help them to realize that it is a permanent tooth. -The child should visit the dentist every three or four months for an ex-; . animation. If there is not anythini' wrong it can soon be determined, and 11 there Is, it can be treated easier. quicker and with less pain at that time than at any time thereafter. ...l. n. butler, d. d. s.,' N.

TAXES, HERE AND THERE! (By IRA PLEMMONS) From all over the State comes the cry about taxes. The Roanoke Rap id,." Herald in an article headed "Looks Very Unhealthy" says that au ' entire page of that paper wa$ fld, with a Tfet of delinquent tax payers whose property is advertised for tax - i Th list contains five townships aW of twelve, so one can. reckon. tha bsi:.:iBalifJMiti proper wal'W t looks ivery unhealthy.- According to the Bankers Magazine our State stands third in per capita gross State debt, with the per capita ko 17. onlv two other states, South Dakota and Oregon, being above us in eross debt. New Hampshire is jpi.tJ, Ohio is $2.08, Indiana is $1.01, Ken tucky is $1.53, Tennessee is 5.90, Texas is $0.75, and Wisconsin ana Nebraska is nothing. Then it does appear that other states are getting alone without so much debt. Indi ana has perhaps the best roads and schools of any state and their tax rate is far less than ours. There may be Some conditions more favorable to some of these states than ours, but I claim we are far enough in debt if the taxing of the people is to bejeept at its present level or reduced. It matters not whether any officer is paid out of County, State or Fed eral money; it all comes from the tax payers, either directly or indirectly; in other words, if an officer is paid $1,000.00 out of county funds, $1,000 out of State funds, and $1,000.00 out of Federal funds, it's just $3,000.00 of taxes out of the pockets of the taxpayers. If I had three dollars in separate pockets and someone should take what I had in one pocket, I would be out $1.00. If he took what I had in two pockets I would be put $2.00. and if he .went into the last pocket and took fts contents f "$&9Itt be. "broke"! 4 It , does seem that, the taxing agencies' are very nearly slip ping the hand in the last pocket the taxpayers have, and now their proper ty is going on the block I hays tried faithfully to point out that many, ver y many , offices could be cut -out and that, too, without our having to sacri fice any- of the necessary services that wa now-have. 1 However,.;tha mere cutting out of, offices is not enough. ; The offices that are very necessary should ha run very carefully' and e conomically so as to give the public j the very best that a dollar will buy. ! i :"'As I view it, inuch of our school deficit was unwisely, spent A deficit for two years of the enormous sum of j $S1,780.87 appears to ie too much. If you will note in Mr. Blake's audit: for the School Board that Supt's sal ary pf $3,467.00, the per diem of the board pf education, $861.58, travel ing 'expenses of the County Supt, $923,24, Clerical $400.00, and office expense, $484.31, makes a total ex pense of the County board for the school year -192 6-2 7 . of $6,116.10. iThis seems expensive. The traveling expenses look very high. The sup erintendent must have made many ICOURT OPENS AT IMS HALL I Judgetoy fc.

LITTLE CECIL FREEMAN DEAD 'Litue'Cecil Freeman two-year-old son of M and Mrs. Arthur Freeman, died at'Jis home on Long Branch Th)dajp;J about six o'clock. The cau8e 'of .his death was diphtheria and membranous croup. Surviving bis death ire his father and mother, Mr. and Airs.'. Arthur Freeman; two bro thersCsrl and Wade Freeman; and two sisters, Pearl and Nellie Free man , thousand: miles around here in Madi son County-. I really believe that if we had one of our own county men or women as superintendent that lots of thji'.Bxpense would have been sav ed.f Qur own County citizenship has a personal interest in the welfare of the .County and I believe that if some person , like Mr. M. A. James, Miss Ethel English, or some of the other fine young men or women of thi3 horns . County had been superirten dejit that many, very many dollars would have been saved. Really I be- eytha this office should be given to !oui native citizenship, ., ... . t - t is to he retothat the debt is so large," and says furth er, "I fear that some money has been spent for non-pssentials, and certain ly here many student from outside the County were taught at the ex pense of the taxpayers in these town ships." Just what he means, that someone from outside the County has been educated at the expense of the taxpayers in these townships, I do not quite understand. If he means that our tax money is being used for other than the student body of our own County, then I think that should be stopped, or at least require a reas onable payment as tuition, and that should go into the school funds as a credit. I believe that all our officers should be elected by the people whom they are supposed to serve. I think they would ' feel more responsibility and render better service. I have been waiting patiently for a correct audit of our school funds and it is to be hoped that Mr. Blake's au dit is correct, for each audit seems to make the deficit larger. According to Mr. Blake's audit the previous au dit was not correct, since it stated that these deficits had been accumu lating over a number of yearl, but now ti appears that all this deficit was for the' past two years. I hold no brief for rof. Henry, but I am frank to say m my opinion he was the best County' Superintendent we have had for a number of years, and,' too, It appears" that he' ' stayed within! the budget as should be always. ' Under the administration following Prof. Henry the audit shows that every -tem except three was overdrawn from $164.31 to $13,326.77 and a total of $38,397.71 for the one year, 1926-27. NowJhow is this deficit' to. be met? Can we sell more bonds; will we have to sell more bonds? , Or, . will this hsve to be a direct tax. It we have reached the constitutional limit, then we cannot sell bonds, and it does ap pear, that we have gone beyond, the constitutional limit. Then if it's to be paid by direct tax, I say here and now that the taxpayers might just as well threw up their hands. Halifax Coun-; tys condition will not be as bad as OUTS, i. it! -;:::.' .

No money spent in self-indulgence, no luxury lavished in his family, and no hush money offered to God can wipe out disgrace of that sort of riches or bring any joy into the selfish heart that has harbored them. It is a disgrace to any man to be rich or even comfortably well off when his wife is worn out and over worked because she could not afford to employ help on the housekeeping allowance that he gave her. The work of feeding, clothing and housing a family demands the best effort of an intelligent woman; and if she must valso do all the hard labor connected witji it, -she cannot hover the house hold and minister to the spiritual needs of the family at the same time. Modern life is complicated, and the demands that it makes on women must be taken into account in ar ranging the budget of any househeld. It is a disgrace to a man to have any bank acocunt at all if he has not done what he could to give his chil dren an education and those social pleasures and advantages that young nature craves and should .enjoy in wholesome way. It is a disgrace to a man to be rich when his own neighbor is too poor to educate his family and has received from the rich man no help and en? cburagement in his great task of life. The poor man's son, or the widow daughter, that we have failed to ielp onward may be our condemnation and disgrace when we are judged pf God. It is a disgrace for a man to be rich. fwhWleiiis Ird itf if town .-w corn munity 'and" left there no mark of his" wealth to the public benefit It is not even honest to draw riches from a community and do nothing for its up lift and the welfare of its people. The biggest bank account in town is the biggest disgrace in town if its owner has done nothing to help the town in which he lives. It is a disgrace to a man to be rich when he holds membership in church where the benevolent work fostered by that church is languishing for the want of money. There are so many conditions under which riches may be a disgrace an l $ condemnation that we should look long at a bank account before calling it our own. If we could forget self and look at life in the white light of God's perfect love, there are many things that would look different to us; so it is well that we practice forget ting ourselves and, like the pure in heart, seeing God. A man should never tell what he has saved and , accumulated unless what he has accomplished and what service he has done the world mesuree up well with his bank account, and in the light of such a measure there will be little boasting done in this world. Exchange. CONSOLATION FOR POOR PENMEN- Dr. William Root of the University of Pittsburgh says that as a general rule persons of low mentality are good handwriters. "Intelligent peo ple," according to Dft Root, "think 20 times faster than they can write and. therefore, the arm is so far behind the activity of the brain that the result lr poof writing. A person low in men tality has nothing else to think about but the shaping of his letters. But It does not necessarily follow that if you -are a poor penman you are Intelligent or vice versa.'
