Pneumonia, if you don’t take care of it at once. The old-time doctor prescribed mustard plasters. The up-to-date doctor advises Musterole. Colds are merely congestion. Muster ole is made from oil of mustard, men- ■ thol, camphor and other simple ingredi ents that have betiudsed for generations ! to stir circulation and break congestion. Rub Musterole oil with the fingers. You feel a warm tingle as it enters the pores; followed by a welcome relief. In jars or tubes for adults —35 and 65 cents. For infants or very small cliildren, ask for the milder form — Children’s Musterole. Better than a muitard plotter LANDRETH’S GARDEN SEED The oldest Seed House in America. In bulk and packages.

A Southern girl who had married in the North carried back with her a colored boy from her home town to be n servant in her Northern home, Thinking to make things pleasant fot him, she directed him, on his first aft ernoon off. to the section of the city in which she lived occupied by tT?c colored population. The colored boy followed t1 c directions and arrived in the negro section of the big city, but did not stay very long. He was back home early and was, of course, asked how he found things. And this was his reply; “I tel) you, Miss Annie, I was skeercd to stay down there. 1 didn't see a white man nowhere." Who is Governor? (From Lexington Dispatch.) I Press dispatches from Raleigh re I centl.v indicate that Governor McLean | is asking this (mention, in view of the j almost daily advice of .losiah William Bailey to the legislature and other branches of the state government. [Now any citizen has a right to ad j vise in matters concerning the gerier j al welfare, but we don't see why any i one man should gel it in his mind [ that he should do all the advising. Bailey may consider himself a cru sader. Doubtless lie does. But if he [doesn’t mind a whole lot of folks are [going to get the notion he is a nui sance. We do not believe that Governor McLean is so insensible to the public welfare1 as to let things go on unnot iced that should be corrected. Perhaps the majority of the people—a large majority—have the same sorL of con fidence in Governor McLean. He has shown every indication that he is big enough for his job, and is capable of conducting an honest and efficient ad ministration. This constant jabbing erf Bailey wilDproduee nothing except an earnest desire from the people that he keep ciuiet, nt least until the ink i dry on his last statement. It is an adage iq the newspaper pro fession that once a man gets ink on his fingers he never gets if off. An other adage might Ik* coined to cover some men who get ink on their names in the headlines, and never get over it. - Perhaps after all it would surprise you to know the great human weak ness for “front page" stuff. Boll Weevil Coming Strong. (From Statesville Daily.) Scouts who make it their business to look out for such matters, report that cotton boll weevils have survived the winter in good health and in larger numbers than at any period since their invasion. Wherefore it may be assum ed that the pest will do a more exten sive business than ever in the cotton fields the coming summer. Tills re port comes from the American Cot ton association, ami the vice president of the association is “warning against the danger of another short cotton crop.” which he fears will “ disorgan ize the producing and manufacturing ends of the industry." It is hard on the cotton planter to have to feed the boll weevil and tek? chances on the weather and the markets, hut if the short cron brings a proportionately higher price, as it ometimes does, oven the short crop lias compensations 1' is the fear of higher prices that disturbs officials of cotton association rfther than the welfare of the pro ducer. It is a guess for the cotton planter. Sometimes it, is a hit, more often a mips; but he takes a chance. The Glare Of Mammon. (From Charlotte Observer.) Brothers of Floyd Collins, the world wide “hero” of the Kentucky Send Cave, are taking steps calculated to chatter the family idol. They have brought suit against their father to disqualify hint from taking manage ment of the estate, because, they pub lish to the public, he is non-compos mentis, which means that he is crazy, and made so by grief over the tragic experience and death in the cave. Un der the circumstances they might bet ter have been inclined to shield the old man by keeping the family quar rel to themselves. But the boys have seen visions of capitalizing on the fame of the cave, a fame developed at the expense of the life of the un fortunate hrother. and it would be the pool house for the old man. But Mam mon make brutes of the best of us. Telling New England. (From The Houston Post-Dispatch.) The Boston Transcript, which has been suggesting to Northern people that they change their perspective re garding who is doing the most for the negroes in the South, has some thing else to tell its readers about Southern provision for the negro’s education since the North Carolina Legislature'passed a bill by an over whelming vote establishing an A grade college for negroes at Dur ham. The proposed new school win fit negroes for teaching and for eth er professions. That is really a long step in advance, for hitherto much of the education provided for, negroes has been of a utilitarian nature. But the passage of the college bill indi cates that North Carolina desires not to make any discrimination whatever against its negro citizens in the mat ter of educational advantages, and the school of liberal arts thus comes in to being. It is such instances of pro gress in negro education in the South I : I that will change ihe attitude of the North toward the South on the race question. The Transcript is serving both sections by spreading knowledge of such things as this in New Kng land. The Law And The Home. (From The Gastonia Gazette.) | Judge James L. Webb, in a speech I at the dedication of the new court | house of Catawba County a few | weeks ago, spoke a whole lot of truth in the following: “So many young men and boys have drifted from influence in the ; last few years and I am afraid, in the j opinion of this court, thei*e are many | fathers who are depending upon the courts to restrain their boys and girls. May I suggest a greater forum fur dealing with many of the youths of the country than the courthouse, and that is the hpme. All well-governed homes should have rules and regula tions relating to the conduct of the children, and these rules and regula tions should be profoundly impressed up or them, and they should be taught in the home the importance of re specting the laws, and the dire conse ! quences that may follow all their vio j Rations.' The good influence of fathers hnd mothers is far more potential in preventing the young people from be coming criminals than ardj the judg ments of courts in restoring them af ter they become criminals.” There is a tendency nowadays to | shift the burden and responsibility to | the schools. Many a parent actually I blames the school authorities or the environment for the child's impud ence, insubordination, etc., forgetful of the fact that the home is the seat <>f all culture, training and habits. Romance in Modern Life (From News and Observer.) Chronic ,cynics may hold that ro mance is dead, but North Carolinians know better. It in true now, as it has ever been, that hope springs eternal in the human heart, and though styles and modes of living change, there is no change in the essentials. There is as much romance to be found now us there has ever been. Some cynical souls complain that since women got the balot and be gan wearing short skirts the world is on the verge of becoming mattei of fact and commonplace. It isn’t true. There is more intelligence in the i world than ever before. The women are contributing more of the real so-; mance to living than ever before. It I is peculiarly their function to sweet-I en life and to bring cheer into a i sordid wA-ld. They haven’t forgotten \ how in North Carolina. Dot's one doubt that romance is j entering into modern living as it never ! did in the old days? Then let him’ read the annals of the State De partment of Home Demonstration j work among the women and girls of | this State. It La a story of enthusiasm ! and good cheer that Mrs. Jane Me- j .Kimmon has to tell and the story of what she and her associates are do-! ing is better reading than any ro mance pictured in novelist’s brain. By beau.tfying home surroundings, j by making and providing wholesome foods, by studying the essentials of happy living the farm women and farm girls of North Carolina are help ing to malA; it a State that, faces the J realities with courage and enthusiasm ! skpd intelligence. Does one doubt that we have made substantial progress that is worth while? In Acknowledgment. (From Charlotte Observer.i In recent days the editor of The Observer has been placed under a feeling of responsibility in mainten ance of appraisement given his ser vice record by many of his friends of the press in and out of the state. We have,been deeply impressed by the sentiments that have been advanced, and wo would be much less than hu man if we were to appear indifferent to the commendation which has been written. An Alabama contemporary, The Montgomery Advertiser, was par ticularly felicitious. (Nearer home The Concord Observer, The Vass Pilot, The Stanly News-Herald, Charity and Children, The Shelby Star, The States ville Daily, The Salisbury Post and other papers placed us under re newed obligations. But above all is valued the appreciation of our breth ren of the religious press. We are profoundly grateful for the good opin ion of such staunch characters as Editor Plyler, of The North Carolina Christian Advocate, and Editor Bridges, of The Presbyterian Stand ard. It is mighty pleasant>on occasion, to have the thorn Thackeray locates in ‘‘the cushion of the editorial chair’’ pulled out, for thorns there be when least expected—the thorn that in flicts the double ground; the wound we never intended to strike, which hurts the giver more than the receiv er; the anger we create when we nev er meant harm. “These thoughts are the thorns in our cushions,” &nd the cordial expressions of our brethren lead us to believe that they plus*. not have been’ so provokingly abundant, after all. Distance Only Imagination. (From Charoltte News.) Distance is becoming a thing of im agination. A few months ago the world was startled bv the news that a photo graph had been sent from one city to another hundreds of miles away over a telegraph wire and althoueh crude and imperfect, was recognizable as the same picture when it “came off” the wire on the receiving end. A little while later they sent a pic ture of the Prince of Wales from Lon don to New York by radio. Yesterday pictures were sent simul taneously to three American cities, New York, Chicago and San Francis co from Washington over a telephone wire 3,600 miles long—and this time the pictures were received perfectly and in seven minutes. The tests were made by the American Telephone and Telegraph company in final prepara tion for he establishing of a general transcontinental picture service and to perfect arrangements for the send ing of the Coolidge inauguration pic tures. Within a short time/ they tell us “visual telephony” will be a reality and we will be able to “see” the per son who is talking with us at the other end of the line. That will mark the end of “before-breakfast-boudoir speen ig” via telephone, perhaps, and will put privacy at a premium even over the wire. But it will achieve another great advance of science and will fur ther annihilate distance. Time, distance, and those other things we have been looking upon as fixed are. as Einstein contends, only relative, after all. A few years ago a picture in New York was several months away from one in San Fran cisco. Today it is seven minutes away. Yesterday the two cities were months apart by stage coach. Now they are a day’s journey by airplane. Soipe day in the near future, we may expect, the two cities will he much neayer together. We may live on the Pacific coast or in Florida and "commute” to our New York offices. It sounds preposterous, but how would we have greeted the prediction made only ten years ago that we would be sending pictures from New York to San Francisco in seevn minutes? Science is certainly playing havoc with time and space and with all those things we once held as firm and im mutable. Once upon a time we would get very much wrought up over a crude cotton gin or sewing machine. Now nothing will catch our interest for long. There is always, something bigger and more interesting just ahead and we refuse to get deeply aroused ocer something that tomor row may be distinctly out of date. -«-, In p London suburb recently, a man •a as knocked down by a motor-car outside a cemetery, but was uninjur ed. .-Some people can’t take higts.— Humorist.
