Hereafter proposed events may be referred to as like unto a highway through Newton. Shelby lawns with the contin ued drought are like bald men in a barber shop—-in need of a tonic.

AN ODOIl AND !> LIVES. r Judge Yates Webb, a strong ‘ opponent of liquor, in bis official : capa^itv and otYerwi-o oqn - stantl.v reminds the nublie that [ liquor isn't sc free as it once was. i And in the reminders he is ex \ a<*tlv right, but along with R. R. Clark, of the Greensboro News, J we would remind the Shelbv jur ist that although it isn’t what it f once was, it still is—if one can deduct anything from such a say , iner. Even the most faithful of drinkers will agree wRh t^e ; judge in saying that "liquor is not what it once was.” Their r preof is in that it is likely to kill . nowadays, where it once crea1 l pd a spirit that made life seem like living a few hundred years longer. But, Judge Webb in his reminders speaks of quantity, j ' not ouality. Added to his thought is the following by R. R. Clark: ' ! As we get Judge Webb’s philnso-j ' phy it is that if you keep saying li quor isn’t it v/ill just be bound to dis-1 appear. But in saying “liouor is a dead cat in North Carolina” his hon or was unfortunate in the metaphor. ■ The feline may hp stretched out, to all appearances without life. But some* times the cat conics back because one or more of the nine lives remain ed. And even if his honor insists that all of the nine lives have been t x tinguished, exterminated, he must ad mit that the odor remains* MR. PAGE AND ROADS. | This may jar some of the temperate minded. It has to do with Frank Page, road builder extraordinary, who, by report, sees fit to lake a rather small attitude towards the decision of the Supreme court in connection with the Newton highway. dodge Thomas Shaw granted a restraining order against high way construction on a route that he tbought was unfair to the county-seat of Catawba. .Judge James I,. Webb after hear ing all the evidence decided like wise, and at the move of the Highway commission the matter was forwarded to Supreme court where the necessary number of members of that high judicial body endorsed the two concur ring decisions, which said that the route as proposed by the '■nad commission was not just to Newton. Which to our way of thinking means that another road, iustly routed, should be built. Folks in that section, and hundreds of others destined to travel High way 10, are becoming imoatien while awaiting the completion of the important link. But ivtr. Page anparentlv takes the viewpoint that since the Su preme court says he can’t build a road one certain route that the court should say by what route it should be built, and further more, according to state papers, he apparently means to wait un til some kind of an “edict” is given before he builds the road, •’■'id i*» the meantime good North Carolina citizens are handicap ped through the lack of the road. Mr. rage has been mucn boost ed and complimented over North Carolina and the nation for hi a remarkable road building, and it seemed as if the toasts had not mounted to his head, as they are wont to do with some folks. But, now—well, the head of a great road building system should not be a politician, but neither should he be au autocr it. Along that thought the Ra leigh News and Observer im parts some timely advice to Mr. Page: Th > Supreme court, affirming Judge Webb, one of the ablest and oldest Superior court judges, render a prop er decision in the matter of running route .No. 10 through the heart <>f Newton, though the fact that the chief justtice and another able justice dissented shows it is a question about which good men differ. The begin ning of the large roadway construc tion program was predicted upon a county seat to county seat route from the ocean to the Tennessee line. Nat urally, when the county seat of Cataw ba was left off the route one and one-eighth miles thorn the court house its people felt that they were denied what should belong to them under the law. ^ i K ct court’, like ail human in | t !ot ''r.s. ;n wrong at times, but all v|,t j, , >■ t.V finding ■ • oven if ♦ h-'v • ”o •>. , ;,ni roved. Therefore, ft.to Highway Commissioner Page is ■ i: ... el . a ag this statement: “The • i v,a lnenu.tl in the most suitable place according to the best iutlgme ot the state highway comtitiss'oner.” Put he was wrong, and his criticism , will not be approved, when he added: “The Supreme court has forbidden the road to he built there. If that lo ca.ion is wrong, there must be a right i.ore in the opinion of the Supreme court, and the highway commission is awaiting an edict from the court stat ing where the road shall be built.’’ The highway commissioner has no read th? Supreme court decision. It holds Unit the law requires the cord to he built through the county seat of Catawba county and that a route )tt < and one-eighth miles from the court house is not in compliance with the law. It directs the highway commis sion to obey the law and lay out Uk route as the law prescribes. That body needs no “edict." It merely needs to employ its engineering ability to carry the road into the heart of the county seat of Catawba county. The state highway commission properly has large powers, as it should have, and in most instances it has exercised its power wisely. There should, however, he no resentment on the part of Mr. Page when the high est eourt interprets the law to carry out the original design of the legisla tors which made ihc backbone of the system a county seat to county scat plan. Mr. Page's use of the word “edict" sounds harsh and the average, reader may think he was reflecting upon court autocracy. Because “edicts” have usually come from sovereigns who brooked no legislative or .judicial d» rection. the word “edict” in the pop ular mind has a tyrrnnnical sound. Mr. Page, however, had probably th« first dictionary definition w’hich read*: “A public notice issued by official or state authority.” However, be may have had the popular acceptation if “edict” for he says that “the high way commission is awaiting an edict from the court stating where the rood shall be built.” The intimation is that I [ I the highway commission will do noth ing until the Supreme court lays off the road, but such a course, of course could not be seriously considered. The plain duty of the commission, four iudees having interpreted the law, la without delay to carry Route No. 10 through the heart of Neton, the county seat of Catawba. Beardless Barley Better Than Oats Mr. Shufford Beam of Waco, N. C. believes in sowing beardless barley. He sowed 11 acres last fall, and har vested (>'J8 bushels of barley and made 200 bales of straw. This gave an average of 58 bushels of grain and 1!) bales of straw per tore. It cost Mr. Beam $t 12.11 to pro duce this crop or 88c per bushel. Mr., Beam say.-, the straw would more than pay the cost of production. 1 Beardless barley is harder than oats and will stand the winter much better, i's food value is superior to oats and will produce more per acre and it is from three to four weeks earlier than oats.

PUTTING JO JO IN IIIS PLACE 'Jr-. In fact the very water supply of the town was threatened. The cotton mills curtailed; they had to for j lack of power. It looked dark even black. Ilut what happened?

And remember this—the weather never ruined any man. When a man is ruined he ruin; himself, (iod some how a'tends to the man who is on the job, rain or no ra n. Here is v.hat we consider to he a pood example of the way to look at life. The writ:r in the dark summer of 1018 sat in the office of a man of business in New York City .This man was engagin'? n the real estate business in New York as a side line i with the late W. E. I). Stokes, a mil lionaire who died lately. Stokes was the owner of the An sonia hotel—a very rich man and a man of sound business judgment. Wlrle we talked with the party of the first part of this transaction, Stokes entered the room. He was ex cited; very much excited. It is sel dom that a man of his calibre pets genuinely off balance, but, he had lost his nerve. Addressing his friend he sa d: “Smith, let's call that deal off. There is the devil to pay. The Ger mans arc going to drive the Eng. lish in the Channel. Things are go ing to pot. Let’s lay off and play safe.’’ 1 hi' man was actually out o) breath from the haste he had applied to reaching his partner. , The other man leaned back in his swivel chair, as calm as Julius Suf ic selling a prescription—not a ruf fle in hi: temper—and exclaimed: “Stokes, go home and read Eng. lish history. The English have never been driven in the Channel yet, and they are not going to be. The worJd is not going to pot; not at all. it doesn’t do that sort of thing. We will go right through with the deal.” And they did, and made big money. The moral of which is—read the pad with intelligence. And draw an intelligent conclusion. The want of rain, or the want of anything, may be ernhara.ss.ng; but never yet has ad verse weather appeared on the scene except to the betterment of a large clement of a community. A. D. J.
