SKIMS iS HUM OF mire in Durham Writer Hold* For Giving Master Politiran Fair Dml Over State Durham Herald. A. D. Watts appeared in Raleigh p few days ago. Immediately spee , Illation became rife concerning the purposes of the visit of the former “king-maker” in North Carolina Democracy. It never oc curred to anyone for a moment ‘hat he could be there on personal and private business, and not in connection with politics. A peace ful mission to Raleigh during the session of the General Assembly was beyond all thoughts In the minds of quite a number who had their curiosity aroused by that Visit of the Sage of Statesville ‘Mid cx-King-Bee of the Democra tic hive in the politics of this date. For some time Watts has not been in the political limelight of this state. In fact, he has never been much fer the spotlight, pre ferring to he the manager who worked behind the scenes, pullirg h>s wires and manipulating the Strings which caused the charac ters to do their stuff before the nudiences. But, in recent months he hasn’t been doing that so far as he public knows. He has been verv quiet. Therefore, when he bobbed up in Raleigh a few days ago, the feeling became general that there was some sinister purpose for that visit—some big political purpose. Then the speculatively inclined persons got busy. Every probable, possible and impossible cause which active imaginations could i frame was assigned as the reason for that visit, Remarks he mado come years ago in regard to evolu tion were brought out again and credited to him as something new. Anti-Australian ballot motives were, of course, laid at his door. That was a safe guess. Opposition to the eight months school was another. Lobbying for' or against certain features of the revenue bill was another motive ascribed. The writingest of the newspaper writers got on his trail and sleuthed him in hope of finding 'ow why Als. Watts visited Ral ’>h. Surmises have been made. But, as usual, Watts kept his coun sel, and we’ll bet a perfectly good jit that when he leaves the public will be just as much in the dark as tq why he went there as it was the first day he was discovered in the capital city. And why should the public care so much about the purpose of his journey to the State ; .Capital? He is still a citizen in apite of the efforts of some of his enemies. He has the price of * transportation to and from the ;; City, as well as for his hotel bill whilS there. He has the right to look, over the city where he has in times past cut considerable figure In political maneuvers. He has the 'ight to talk politics, if he chooses. he is gunning for anybody’s -oliticai scalp, that’s his privilege, as many have hinted for his, and used ways that were unusual in an effort to get it. If he seeks a little revenge in politics, no one could especially blame him for it. He certainly hasn’t been treated any too well by some of those he hap helped. In his balmy davs when he was the political power in the Democratic party in this state tc sought little for himself, pre .t-rrinv to labor for his friends. . And let it be said to his credit that the oarty had some hefty leaders when Als. Watts was pick ing ’em. It is not* yet leaderless. Mut is drifting into that state, and >f somebody doesn’t come forward and help frame affairs, the party in the State will some of these vteve find itself ""h about as bad n plight as the party in the nation linds itself today. If Watts can wake up the boys ami get the party to take on more life. he should be welcomed upon his visit . to the capital city during the ses sion of the General Assembly. But in all probability, every time he goes to Raleigh for the balance of his life, there will be the same out pouring of guesswork as to mo tives that we find now. and they * nre but a re-hash of those heard many times in the past. -- 'jf* A word to local merchants: Ad vertise.

Strong Arm of Law At Kings Mtn. Gastonia Gazette. When sworn officers of the law have their poods and chattels snooped from under their noses, they are pretty apt to become peeved. Officer Rankin, night pa trolman. hud this experience Mon day night when his Chevrolet was mysteriously spirited away from its parking place on Franklin avenue, i ext to the new city hall.

Two sallow youths'-faced Judge •tones in police court Tuesday morning on a charge of taking the car. They pleaded guilty to the charge and were bound over to superior court, each on a bond of $1,000, which neither of them could make. They are still young boys.

The former knew that the ear didn’t belong to Lloyd Morrow, but he didn’t take the pains to find out whose it might be. Starting off for a little night nir they headed in the direction of Kings Mountain. Officer Rankin missed his mount a few minutes after, and he phoned policemen in neorby town.-, to be on the lookout fo>- it. When the boys blew into Kings Mountain the cops were .hero waiting foe thpm. Iaiying firm hands on the shoulders of the boys, they soon hud them in the city calnboose where they await ed trial. DRiK DRIVERS TO FI BUT Judtic Schenck Denounces Those Who Make Highways Unsafe For Travel Statesville. —Judge Michael Schenck of Hendersonville, who is presiding over the present term of Iredell superior court, made it clear in his charge to the grand jury that men found guilty of driving cars on the public high ways while under the influence of liquor would have hard sledding in his court. In explaining that the first duty of the grand jury was to pass on bills of indictment sent up by the solicitor. Judge Schenck stated further that it was equally the duty of the grand jury to report to the solicitor any cases of law violations that had escaped the notice of the solicitor. “If you know of a man being drunk, your sworn duty is to report it to the solicitor," he said. Should Keport “The highways are in your hands. The automobile is here to stay, and yet one man can make the road unsafe from here to Asheville. If you know of a man who is doing that thing, k is your duty to report it to the court.'' he said. Continuing his instructions to the jurors. Judge Schenck made it known that the fellow who is found guilty of making the high ways unsafe—hi sordino' the lives of the women and children—will not huve a chance to continue the dangerous business for n period of 12 months. Commenting on the remark of ten heard that o >tov ought to he enforced or repealed. Judge Schenck asserted that the law’s can be enforced. Anv law that the peo ple of North Carolina eve behind can be sustained,• he said. No one would say the Ten Commandments ought to bo repealed because they are broken, he said.

Score* Grocer* Who Sell Syrup For Home Brew Greenwood. —An investigation into the reported sale of material for the manufacture of home brew by a chain of grocery stores prob ably will be instituted by prohibi tion officials in the west North Carolina district, as a result of facts brought out in federal court here in a case involving the raanu-1 facture and possession of the so- j called beverage. J. I). Albright, jr., of Charlotte, government chemist, testified that ! t he brew question was made from I malted barley syrup sold by chain grocery stores and contained 6.34 per cent alcohol. “I wish wo could get hold of some of these chain grocery stores,” said Judge Watkins. “They know what they are selling the stuff for and I would rather have them, the men who are manufacturing the drink. “It is not even an apology for good beer or liquor and I think the man who drinks it is a fool and simply has no respect for his stomach.” Judge Watkins then said he wished Prohibition Director H. M. Caud'e ,o cull the attention of chief prohibition officials to the fact that chain grocery stores are selling material for the beverage in this section and ask for an investigation.

Lat est Odd News Comes From Mountain City Asheville.—Who ever heard of -requests from a tenant that a landlord increase the rent? Not many, perhaps. And yet the commissioner of public safety of the city of Asheville is destined to get a petition from certain renters in the city market asking for an ncroase of 10 per cent of jiresent charger.. Needless to say, opposi tion to the idea will develop. The unusual step will be taken by a group of-occupants of stalls who will recommend >.hat the fund derived from the levy be devoted to exploitation of the market as a trading area without reference to apneals of individual tenants. Since the market opened, rent has been cut twice by ^he muni •ii'nlity. A 10 per cent reduction has been made each time. The de creases were put into effects in keeping with commissioners’ prom ise to charge against them only such carrying levies as that part of the building was obligated to assume on a proportionate basis. Accountants’ reports have justi fied the two cuts. Modern Health Ideas Blamed Chicago.—Most college students are nervous wrecks because of their own gullibility and their parents’ so-called modern ideas on health, according to Professor G. T. Stafford of the Physical Educa -ion department of the University of Illinois. The grip of various cults in this country is amazing when you con sider this is the twentieth cen tury,” he said. “Thousands of parents in this state belong to such groups—tracing their aches as d pains to the paths of the stars and laying their lumbago to the position of heavenly bodies. “And then you will find the trusting souls—there are probab ly millions of them-—who are “meat” for any quack doctor that comes along with a receipt for health in six boxes of pills. “Is there any wonder that stu dents do not today have adequate instruction in health and health habits in their classes in schools due to the spueamishness of us moderns in many instances who believe that certain facts about the body and the body’s health are too indelicate to be discussed by trained instructors—come to col lege with distorted standards ,®f phvsical perfection? fn “The average college freshman —in all the glory of hi* flat feet, falling or fallen arches—models his idea of physical perfection chiefly on muscular development. He comes to school bound to be another “Red” Grange”. The st%r athlete to him is the perfect phy sical specimen. “He thinks if he could just run a mile in record time he’d be a regular Apollo—he doesn’t consid er mental, emotional, social con ditions of health—bulging muscles mean perfection as he sees it. He fails to see that a good posture, a correct gait and general health can be obtained outside of athle tics. “You’d be astonished if you knew talk of the tiger-skin clad strong that college men ‘fall for’ the sales man who promises to make then 100 per cent perfect for $30 and postage. TERRIBLE PAIN Alabama lady Telia How She Ob* Utued Relief by Taking Car dot. Feels Fias and Enjoys Life New, She Saye.

MORE MILLIONS for your service TPHE continued growth of North Carolina will require an estimated expenditure of more than $2,800,000 during 1927 for additions, extensions and replacements to the Bell Tele phone System throughout the State. This is one of the largest telephone construction programs ever undertaken in North Carolina during one year, and follows a gross expenditure of more than $2,600,000 last year. It is now estimated that more than 7,700 new telephones will be added to the Bell System in North Carolina this year. These large additions are a part of our policy of building in advance to keep pace with the anticipated growth and pr°0 ress of the State. The expansion of the service makes it mare valuable to every user and provides the entire State with an unequalled, modern system of quick communication. MORGAN B.
