Believed |r Dreams Finkjjfcanm was a {rood Uqj^cxas peruting; tenant, and, being toijWiy, the landlord did not like to ^jnetid him. So one day he cornered the old man and, with his most ingratiating smile, said, “Kinklebaum, I dreamed last night that you came up to my houses rang the bell, asked for mo, and, without my saying a word, handed me the money you owe me.” “So?” said Kinklebaum. “Do you believe in dreams?’ “I have a great deal of faith in them,” said the landlord, hopefully. “Den give me the receipt,” said Kinklebaum, “and I’ll believe in ’fem too.” It might be nice to go to bed by day-light-saving time and get up by standard time. First Fourth Of ^ July Its America Dfenrbofh Independent. A century and a half ago American hands were set to the one irrevocable document of our national history. The Constitution may he amended, but not that. Laws may be repealed, but never that. Unchangeable as a force of nature the Declaration of In dependence stands, ancient in its terms, contemporary with every phase of modern progress in its spirit,1 It was not the work of Thomas Jefferson; he wrote what the towns and farms were saying; their thought informed his words. The Constitution was the work of the lawyers and statesmen, but the Declaration Vvas national and popular in its origin. The first Fourth of July passed un noticed; no one knew that it was the Fourth of July. The land was shroud ed in deep anxiety. A struggle be tween government and the people had existed for years, deepening at last into war. A year before the First Fourth of July, George Washington had taken command of the American army on Cambridge Comon. Independ ence was not the issue as yet; the total demand was the reasonable one of British rights for British citizens. Events compelled the relucaiu, re sort to independence as the sole available' source of political justice. Debate wore on contemporaneously with the fighting, until colony by col ony, suve one, gave their votes for the fateful step. In the evening of the First Fourth of July the Declara tion was adopted by twelve states. On July 5, the President and Secre tary of Congress signed the docu ment. On July 6, it was published in the Pennsylvania Evening Post. On July 19, Congress ordered it en grossed. It was not fully signed by all the names that now it bears until August 2. And for six months the names of the signers were kept secret, for they had performed an act of high treason, and, as Franklin said. “Unless we hang together, we shall hand separately.’ On this one hundredth and fiftieth Fourth of July there nr<> some tnings which we shall do well to consider concerning that first 4th of July. For one: a declaration of indepen dence can only come from people who are already independent in their think ing. Our fathers were independent before they even thought of independ ence in the political sense. Van Tyne truly says, “the English kings planted the seeds of the Revolution when, in their zeal to get America colonized, they had granted such political and religious privileges as tempted the radicals and dissenters of the time to migvata to America . . . The Eng. lish government had systematically been stocking the colonies with dis senters and retaining in •England the con formers. The declaration was adopted July 4, 1776, hut rot until October 19. 1781, when Lord Cornwallis surrendered was the War of Independence won. The Declaration was but the announcement of conviction, it was not possession of the boon. The Thirteen Colonies struggled thirteen years to possess y hat they declared to be theirs by right. The Declaration involved “their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor, all which they staked, and all which multitudes lost, save honors, and some even that. The first Fourth of July was a day of darkness and doubt, and its successor anni versaries were shrouded in gloom, j until out of the darkest hour of de- j spair light suddenly dawned. The j American Revolution was not an out-1 break of anarchy. It was the oppo sition of better government to worse. American radicalism differs from other forms extant in that American ism knows that it possesses within it self the cure of the ills that harass it; it need not destroy itself to effe:t reform, nor wreck itself to right its keel. Its principles leave liberty free, for there is a radicalism that binds liberty in chains, and in the name of principle banishes principle from the field. The First Fourth of July saw our revolutionary radical fa'thers in Con gress assembled, holding that all men arc endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights that to secure these rights, governments ure instituted among men, and appealing to the Su preme Judge of the world for the rec titude of their intentions they set up such a government for the securing of such rights. That Government still stands and ,hose rights are still se cure. Crowds Attend Foot Washings t Reports from the Primitive Baptist churches in Guilford and Rockingham counties, where the sect is numerous, itell of immense crowds at the annual foot washing serviees, just concluded. These services are all-day affairs, and draw many old members back to the 'communities from which they went. ' The foot washing is not the main I feature, although it once was. There are sermons in the morning and after noon and' often the congregation is so [great that part of it is preached to outside of the churches. The primitive Baptists claim that foot washing is ^symbolic of humility and has been so since Jesus washed the feet of his disciplbs. It is not con fined to the United States, the King hof Spain recently having washed the feet of twelve indigent men, to show that he is not haughty nor arrogant. We’ve about reached the point wl»ere the fact that a man is missing Droves that somebody didn’t miss him. ‘•I want my boy to have an easier time than 1 hod.” And there’s one ex planation of jails. State Spends 12 Million Each Year On Its Schools Raleigh.—From $604,337.31 in 1918 !9 to SI2,470,050.28 in 1024-25—that •s the way the amount North Caro lina is spending- on capital outlay for its public schools has been growing during- recent years. This Is pointed out by State School Facts, off the press Friday. A month ago, this publication of the department of public instruction discussed expenditures for school pur poses, dividing- such expenditures, roughly, into capital outlay and cur rent expense. In its June 15 issue, the periodical discussed the latter, and to day’s issue deals with capital outlay expenditures, which includes amounts spent lfor buiudings and sites; furni ture and apparatus; libraries and trucks. Progress Starts The year 1919-20 marks the real beginning of the school building era in this state, says Schools Facts “Small wooden structures having be come dilapidated through neglect and disuse during the war and the in fluenza epidemic, and an increasing number of children having enrolled in .-.ehool, the needs of modern and com modious buildings in which an educa tion might be hnd at the best advan tage becan»e acute. “During this year 1919-29, over $2,350,000 was spent to increase these advantages. Of this amount, nearly a million and a half was for the bene fit of the rural children and over $900,000 for the children in the cities. “The next year, 1920-21, nearly three and three-quarter million dol lars were spent to increase the in vestment in capital outlay of the schools of the stnte. Nearly two nnd a half millions of this amount were invested in rural school property and $1,219,622.72 in city school property. “The next succeeding year, 1921 22. capital outlay investments lacked a little more than $200,000 reaching a total of six milion dollars— over two million dollars more than the year just preceding. Over a million and a half of the increase was in city school property and the other half million in rural school property. Nearly a quarter million or one-hall of the rural increase, was for the pur pose of trucks for the transportation of children. There svas very little in crease in actual expenditures for new houses and sites in the rural schools that particular year. “Over twice the amount spent dur ing 1921-22 has been, invested in new choolft and school equipment during each of the past three years for which figures are availabler’ During 1922-23 -over twelve million dollars was spent toward increasing tfie capital outlay in both j-ural and city schools. During 1923-24 over six million dollars was invested in rural school property and nearly four millions in city school property. During 1924-25 the rural schools increased capital outlay in vestment over eight'>nd one-half mil lion dollars and the citv schools near ly four millions, making a total of $12,470,659.28, the most of that has been invested in any one year in school property." v Three Factors Tl.J publication assigns three fac tors as being at least partly explan atory of the tremendous growth in the value of school property—or rather in the amounts invested. First, increase in pupils, showing the need for more adequate buildings; second,; the beginning of the State road uro gram, making possible the consolida tion of schools, together with the movement to build a more oermunent t.vne of building and together, also, with the smaller purchasing power of the dollar; and third, and probably the mor.t influential. th« creation of the special building funds, enabling coun ties to borrow from the state to erect needed buildings. Of the *112.470.059.28 spent for capital outlay in 1924-25. 68.7 percent was spent in the rural schools and the remainder in the city schools for new houses and sites. This was an aver age of $13.97 spent for each rural ch Id and $19.85 for each city child. “Twenty-five years ago a total of $56,207.00 was spent in the rural schools for new houses and sites. This would about build and equip one good school building of sixteen rooms and auditorium under the present dav me thod of erecting modern school build ings. Ouring that t me thin amount probably helped to build hundreds of "p*-"dard” on" room log sehoolhouse. I f'There is no record of what the i*ity schools spent rior to 1904-0J1, Dtiring that year the record shows that $74,575.35 was spent in the cities for permanent equipment. This amount would hardly be enough to build a city school by the present day method of building.’’ Says Man Should Live To Be 150 Man should be able to attain an av erage of 150 years Richard Lynch, president of the Unity society of New Ytfrk, told more than 2,000 delegates to the annual congress of the inter national new thought alliance, which met i nth»» city the oast wek.

Asheville Still Getting Exciteemnt Out Of Negro Sup erstition - Asheville.—Hundreds of men, w->. men and children recently were thronged about a little frame dwell ing in Valley street in the heart of the negro district where a “ghost” would occasionaly emit a weird shriek or blood-curdling moan. The spook is said to inhabit a dark and cavernous basement under the house. The po lice were making repeated efforts to scatter the crowds. Here’s what is to be found in the basement; half a dozen chickens, or dozen or so stones of varying sizes, half dozen or so bottles, a wornout washboard. Silas Robertson, a negro and bis family occupy the house. Robertson’s littie child was lying in the house desperately ill yesterday while the throngs outside sought news of the ghost. Occasionally Robertson or his wife would come to the doorway, threatening o» pleading with the vis itors to disperse. The ghost hunt ap parently reached the peak of excite ment yesterday when more than 2,000 persons visited Robertson’s home. An aged negro muti, leaning on a can" and standing in a corner of the yard at a safe distance from the basement volunteered the informa , tion that he knew why the place was '“hanted.” His story in substances is: I Not many years ago an old negro preacher lived at the site where Rob ertson’s house now stands. The preacher saved bis money and hid it in the basement walls. A few years ago, after participating in a big water melon feast the preacher died in great agony without disclosing the location of his hidden treasure. Since then, time after time, he has come I back to the scene of his former home. “Chillen’s been going to that base ment long fo now, some of ’em been get tin’ a quarter or fifty cents. They ain’t said nothing about it. Every thing was all right. Then this little nigger gal gits foah dollars, en tel! all ’bout dis preacher, he don’t lak that. You touch that rock whar his money’s hid, and he sho gwiner hol ler. In an effort to demonstate to the cfov.d that the basement was unoc cupied policemen last night entered the place, but mnny in the assemblage remained unconvinced. Some sneered and laughed. “Ain’t nothing goner stop him ’twill he jes stop cause lie Want to,” they said. Publishers Discuss Business As Planned However, Editors In Annual Meeting Will Hoar Also From Other Professions Gastonia—The annual meeting of the North Carolina Press association at Hickory, July 21 to 23 will be de voted very largely to purely business matters, jas.

In many communities there are peo ple who consider it little short of treason for a newspaper to publish an opinion contrary to the views of these self-appointed censors. An opinion expressed privately by some one passes, but let that opinion be put in cold type and instantly therp is a howl and in some cases a de mand for a retraction or an apology. The High Point Enterprise recent ly had an experience of this sort. It printed an unfavorable criticism of a play presented by a company which appeared there under the auspices of the American. Legion, saying that it was a poor show. Thereupon some few Legionaires hastily assembled and passed a resolution declaring the show to be a good one and that The 'Ergcor'se had some “motive” infer ■entially a bad one—in discrediting the company. The Asheville Citizen, noting the occurence, says: “The Enterprise did not follow the example of the remonstrants who sought to suppress its opinions. On I the contrary it published the adverse | opinion and criticism of itself on its front page, and then, repeating its original criticism, calmly announced that criticism, of amusements offered the public is “a department of the service The Enterprise must render its'readers, and they are not to be in fluenced by any group.” ‘•The real newspaper not only re cognizes the absolute right of others to hold opinions contradictory of its own but often publishes these at its own expense. It Will not, however, give unlimited space or privilege to those who, intolerant of the opinions of others, demand the righ to talk it down in print—free.”—Greensboro News. Destructive Attacks of Cutworms on Tomatoes Among the most important insect enemies of the tomato are cutworm! of various kinds. according to the United States Department of Agricul ture. These smooth, plump, gray oi< brownish caterpillars attack the young tomato plants both In the plant bed and when set in tiie field, usually cutting them off near the surfuce ot the ground. One cutworm can destroy many more plants In a single night than it can devour. By reason oi their destructive attacks resetting it frequently necessary.
