I87S We Wish to call your attention to the fact that it is and nas been our custom to charge five cent* per line for resolutions of respect cards of thanks and obituary notices after one death notice has been published This wtU be strictly adherred to H“~ FRIDAY, JAN 4.1923 TWINKLES A1 Smith is not through with politics he announces but to our way of observing he caused a lot of others, pro and eon, to be through. Among others who failed to shop early were the auto tag buyers, it aeems to Ye Twlnkler ns he dashes in two days late and find* himself at the end of a line one block long. Star headline: "Only 200 People Pay Income Tax In (Jfleveland County.” Wonder how a couple of hundred others $et by, or are we better boasters than payers? By the way of refreshing the memory of those planning to go down: Today week Shelby’s first governor will have been inaugurated. Leap Year U just an odd-fitting year on the calendars nowadays. It means nothing to the girls. Marriages in Clevejand county last year fell off instead of gaining. F. P. A. In the New York World informs in the language of the telephone operator that this is the good year of “One Nyun 'Two Nyim;” ■“If every auto owner in North1 Carolina who had not pur chased a new license plate by Tuesday noon had been jailed, then the big need of North Carolina for 1929 would of neces sity have been bigger, and perhaps better, jails. They seem to make a habit of staging a dry raid every New Year’s in New York and it appears to us that some day there, must fome along a January second in New York With all the liquor gone—what with the dry officers getting a part and the thirety guzzling up that remaining. NOW, HOW’S THIS? IT IS THE SAME Charlotte Observer that feared high taxes * were mining industry away from North Carolina which made the following observation: "The advance of North Carolina as a manufacturing State is demonstrated in the fact that the value placed on its manufactured products dur ing 1928 is more than three times the value of its agricul tural products. The factories contributed $1,164,617,000 to the wealt^, o$th<3 State, against $861,605,000 by the farms.” WASTING OF WORDS “pIRLS, you may not believe this,” writes Eugene Ash craft in the Monroe Enquirer, “but it’s a fact that you can get a beautiful complexion by steaming your face over a we»;h Jttb.” , '•Qpgitmiuftg he advised: “Wringing out clothes makes the,«{ij£il>lWsingly plump; hanging them out on the line increases the 6ust measurement, and carrying them to and from the yard makes the waist line smaller and the limbs mors shapely. Try it girls!” Now, what we would like to know: does Mr. Ashcraft really believe that there are girls who will even lend an ear to such beauty hints ? GARDNER AND SALES TAX r*OVERNOR-ELECT GARDNER as yet has not expressed himself on the state-wide long school term measure, but unless ho has changed h*s opinion about a sales tax on com modities in the state within the last year he certainly will oppose the long term school measure if it can be maintained onljKby a Saids tax j Those who recall it will remember that about one year ago Mr. Gardner addressed North Carolina druggists at Greensboro, and in the address he took pains—was so particu lar about It, In fact, that the topic was the subject of his tajkr-to express his dislike to a sales tax in plain terms. In Thafo-taAk to the druggists he painted the picture of the sales tax. nuisance in South Carolina and described the day when conditions raivht exist in North Carolina. Frankly, our idea is tMt* men’' | > of the sales tax plan in connection with the ( lonfr tdhn Schools is the best way to make the next gover nor* WLememy of the school measure, rather than a support er QfiV, >n>< WE’RE RIDING TOO FAST IT’S QUITE an old expression about the countryside that “one’ cannot eat his cake and have it, too.” Likewise it should be evident that a farmer cannot ride m his farm, in the form of an automobile, and have it, too, free of mort gages and encumbrances brought about by the riding. Gee McGee writing recently in the Progressive Farmer, under the head of “Whither Are We Drifting,” offers some vary sound thinking, though it is presented in his semi-hu raorous fashion. Read it: "I have st last learned why folks no longer want any land. IPs an beacuee a fellow cant ride in a farm, and folks have got to ride, you know. What thia country needs today is some nice little farms on1 wheels with gasoline tanks and steering wheels andsoforth attached. “The average automobile costs Just about what 40 acres of good farm land would eoet on the present market Land will last a lifetime without very much depreciation or wear and tear, but an automobile depreciates at the rate of at least S3 a day, and it costs atom $3 a day i to keep it running all the time so’a it will depreciate faster It be ^ eomee junk in two years, or at the first real wreck that overtakes it V "Them to a peat deal of complaint about the high taxes ol a It- i cense plate alone, usable for twelve months, will pay all state and county taxes on 60 acre? of first-calss farm land, and the porperty tax on same automobile Is at (east twice the tax on the farm used tor comparison purposes. The road tax on the gasoline the average man buys in a year will pay all the taxes assessed on a 90-acre tract of land "Now, my dear deluded bankrupts: dont get me wrong. I think every man ought to owp an automobile if he can por.'ibly do so and remain honest. But the day Is coming whefr we shall all see 4he need of owning something besides automobtles. Wien a country spends more for non-essentials than It produces, something Is bound to hap pen—Just as surely as something happens to the family that spends more than it earns. "About 96 per cent of everything we buy. with the exception of cotton goods—which are practically taboo, thanks to the advent ol silk and rayon—Is manufactured up North. We have to send our money out of the South to get our luxuries and othei requirements. We even buy New York state eggs, and Iowa butter, and califorlna peaches, and Maryland tomatoes, and Nebraska wheat, and Kansas oats, ar.d Missouri beef. I simply don't see how we can do It on and on, and keep new automobiles and plenty gasoline within the environs of our families. "We are riding so fast we don't take time to think.' i» virais WEIL 13 If 311 [ Gastonia, Jan. 2.—Bloody cloth in" which my be part of the scant wardrobe of Jacob Vanderburr youthful sr-pected stayer of five members of his farru'y. vr,s found in the wcl) rear the ashes of the family < burned home accord.ng to a report which attained circulation today in official circles here.

Dr. Minot Simons of a Unitarian church in New Tork is reported as saying, “Always look Into your own life before yon com placently point the moral of a great teaching at someone rise.” A clergyman who Is a scholar, should know better than to make such a statement. The world is better off today through the mor als pointed out by men who either were In jail or should have been there, than through the stainless lives of millions who had nothing to contribute to the minds or souls of others. The proverb, "example Is better than precept” does not apply to the field of learning. A great phy sician can do more good by leading a dissolute life and, at the same time. Imparting his wisdom to the world than he can by devoting his days to leading an exemplary mor al life, and refraining from teach ing. Shakespeare pointed the moral of many a great truth. And the most enthusiastic Shakespearian scholar never bragged of his Idol’s moral pulchritude. Washington and Jefferson point ed the morals of their teachings at the whole world. And the whole world admires those men. Yet their private lives, under present penal codes, would have landed them In jalL If you have an interesting thought, a great idea or a moral truth to give the world, for heaven's sake do so. even if the police are after you for your misdeeds. Per haps, some day, your contribution to mankind may enlighten your self. But, even if it doesn't It will do good to others, Dr. William J. Mayo of Roches ter, Minn., said, recently, “Many small towns that formerly had trained physicians, now have only one or more untrained practition ers, wedded to cults or dependent on appeal to the emotions ” He ascribed this condition to the Increasing cost of medical educa tion and mora stringent regulations by state boards of medical examin ers, two factors which had eliminat ed a large number of Inferior medi cal schools that used to flourish. This statement depicts a bad sit uation. An untrained practitioner can do much damage On the oth er hand, the regulations of exam iners who have the responsibility of admitting physicians to practice cannot be too strict. We have more people of Inferior Intellect, wedded to queer cults who tempe*- with the human body, than any other country in the world. II we ever reach an intelligent place of civilisation. medical edu cation will be free. Applicants for admission to a medical college will be subjected to the same close scrutiny of mind, morals and pur pose which the Catholic church gives to every applicant for the prlestllood. And when, after the most rigor ous training, they enter upon their vocation as doctors of medicine they will do so in the same spirit in which the high-minded priest undertakes his life's work, not for gain but for the glory of the God he believes in, and for helpfulness to his fellow man. But we have some traveling to do before we reach that plane. CONSTRICTION IN DURHAM REACHES NEW HIGH LEVEI Duham.—Construction in Dur ham reached a new hign level dur ing the year now ending when per mits involving $9,896,838 were issued by the city for new buildings. One project, Duke university, involved $7,000,000. The permit for the uni versity project now under construc tion, was the largest single permit issued in the history of the city. Assimilating so many straw votes doubtless accounts for the extraor dinary horse sense of The Literary Digest,--Charlotte Observer. ✓ Important news to every patron and friend of Ward’s—to new customers as v/e.1 as old!
