Over my ledger I ran nee
The giant ships go down the bay.
And there's no one of them but, holds
My heart aboard as stowaway.
And one will steam to China Sea,
And one will swing around tire Horn
And, oh! I'd be a happy lari
If I were only sailor born
One golden day Til break my bona.
And close my books and wander frets,
.And then another pale-faced lad
Will add my figures up for me

He pointed to a report of the con -
stabulary that 1,000,000 gallons of

"This,'' he said. “Would make
100.000 gallons of whiskey."

Ancient Bathtubs
Were Big Luxuries

conception of the am-lent -Sat
urday night bath.
When the bath had to be perform
cc1 In a portable tub behind the
kitchen stove. Or even before the
fireplace, it was more of an adven
ture than a comfort.
Television appears hkc an over -
t ight marvel when it is remembered
that 1883 years were required to par
feet the system of heating tne water,
supply for the home, the National
Association of Real Estate Beards1
points out.
Even King Minos of Crete when he
slid into the royal tub, a 2,000 B. C.
model, probably had to wait until
servants had carried w ater sufficient
for his bath.
In 1830 there was but one bath
tub in all England, It was not until
1842 that America couid claim a like
distinction.
Adam Thompson of Cincinnati
was the first American to take a
bath in a tub he called his own.
Thompson was so proud of liis tub
that he exhibited it to his guedr,
Christmas Eve 1842. Four of his j
guests were so completely won by
the Invention that they Immediately ;
took baths in it.
However. Thompson's bathtub yei
denounced as a luxury in a two col
umn story In the newspapers the
following day. *
Americans regarded the bathtub
with distrust for several years. In
1843 Philadelphia sought to prohib
it. by ordinance, bathing from iJo- i
vrmber to March. Tile measure fa'i- :
ed by two votes. Virginia levied t
\ fate tax of $30 a year on bathtubs.
■Hartford, Providence, CharWun
■ and Wilmington quadrupled water
| charges to all bathtub owners it
j was not until President Millard fill
I more set the stamp of approval o.)
the White House that the bathtub
came into its.own.
Frequent baths, however, were .iot
unknown to the world before the
20th century.
Governor Rings
Gear As A Bell
Charlotte News.
The situation developing where it
Was not only expedient, but distinct- j
ly imperative that hef let his views
be known on the issue of pending !
legislation, Governor Gardner strode '
into the general assembly and in
language simple enough for a school1
child, and with convictions as In
vincible as Gibraltar, he clearly,
flatfootedly and without equivoca
tion planted himself against the
proposed sales tax, and even against
the MacLean educational reform if
the latter made a sales tax neces
sary.
The governor's assault upon the!
sales tax was terrific. By the use of I
impregnable logic, by simple suasion
by satire and all other devices of I
speech, he shot it full of holes and
virtually informed the legislature
that it coiyd work no greater mis
chief upon the people of North Car
olina than by the imposition of a j
tax that can be defended neither in!
i logic nor in economics.
The governor has fully answered
his hecklers as to where he stands
on this proposed legislation. With
courage and valiancy, he has given
the lie to the lips of every than who
even whispered that he was afraid
j to, make his position known in this
emergency. ,
Poultrymen of Burke county had
1,441 hens blood-tested to be used
for breeding purposes. The flocks
have also been rigidly culled, says
County Agent R. L. Sloan.
