VETlf, IT MAKETH THPELLINU HAIM) Marvin Blanton, jr., wonders it we've ever heard how a small-town editor explained to his readers that the letter “s" had been lost from his composing room. We have, but perhaps some of the audience have not, so here goes: “Lathi, night thomc thneaking thcoundrel t.htole into our compothlug room and pilfered the cabinetth of all the eththeth! Therefore we would like to take advantage of thith opportunity to apologize to our readerth for the general lnthlpid appearance of your paper. We would altho like to thtato that if at any time in the yearth to come we thhould thee thith dirty thnake in the grathth, about the premttheth, it. will be our complete and thorough thatlthfaction to thhoot him full o( holeth. Tliank you!” CAREFUL, GOVERNOR; ABOUT THAT NAME Qovernor-to-be John C. Blue he r Ehringhaus is flirting with the danger of losing one of lils original barkers. Not that one vote more or less will make much difference when they begin counting Saturday, July 2. Almost, five years ago this department predteted to the Elizabeth City man that he would be the next governor, At the time he desig nated us as one of the three original Ehringhaus men. Knowing politi cians, however, we expected him to forget It. but last week at the state convention he dashed up with the glad hand, called the correct name and introduced his original “Western North Carolina Ehringhaus sup porters" to several friends. Naturally the taffy hit a ten-strike natural with a fellow from the back country, But this week there came a letter ffom Ehringhaus headquarters, expressing delight at seeing an original Ehringhaus supporter, etc., and so on. So far. so good, but the letter was addressed to “Wren Gum." Ebeltoft would have chuckled over that; he claimed his name was misspelled more often than any other. In fair ness, though, we're not blamiitg Mr. Ehringhaus; he seemed to know the name well enough just last week. So, apparently, the letter was dictated to a stenographer and she did the tangling. But surely the comely miss who presided over the gubernatorial candidate's correspondence desk last week couldn't make a mistake like that, and remembering her, per j haps we shouldn't have mentioned such a minor matter anyway. And that idea may be reenforced if this colyum is closely enough read at home to disclose the unfortunate slip in referring to the stenog. On sec ond thought. By Gum, "Gum," being an original supporter, will stick by until the end. It could have been spelled “Gun," “Dun,” or even “Bum.'’ Anyway, that much space has been filled. W1SECR ACKER! T notice,” chirps up a wise-cracking reader, “that your colyum re ferred to the fact that railroads have reduced rates whereby Shelby people can now go to Washington and remain a week for $5.

Returning home he was asked by his mother how he got along, “Well enough." he answered, "except that I didn't get a wink of sleep, cause they kept the light burning in my room all night." "Whv didn't you blow it out?" asked his mother. "Blow it out?” the boy said. "How'n the heck could 1?

The Spartanburg Herald is mov ed to make some remarks about two kinds of lawyers nd their re lation to blind justice, anent a re cent bit of advice given by tire chief justice of this state. It says: In his address to the graduates of the law school at the University of South Carolina Chief Justice E. S, Blease told the young men that the opportunity for good lawyers1 In South'Carolina is greater than ever. The times demand the "right eous practice of the law." hr said and he urged the graduates to ac cept none but "just causes” for trial in the courts. j If all young lawyers should ac eept the advice of the chief Justice of South (Carolina and loyally fol low it a change of great public ben efit would be effected in the trial courts. If "Just causes" were taken for trial what a saving would be brought about in the administra tion of justice! It was Richard Hooker who said : "Of law there can be no less ack nowledged than that her seat is in the bosom of God. her voice the harmony of the world: all things in heaven and earth do her homage, the very least as feeling her care, and the greatest as not exempt from her power." But do lawyers of today enter tain the high opinion of their pro fession as that expressed by the great English theologian? Many do. but the profession in the United States has become polluted by a minority which looks upon the law as a lever with which to pry money from the pockets of litigants, as a means to defeat the purposes of Farmers, Wives Plead To Keep County Agents 700 Durham County Folks Tell Commissioners Of Value Of F.s ter.Mon Workers. Durham. June 32.—Seven hun dred Durham county farmers and■ their wives gathered in a mass meeting here thia week before the county commissioners for a public hearing as to whether county home! and farm agent work would be con- ! tinned in the county and whether these two extension workers would be allowed to have their offices in the Durham farmers' exchange building. • Considerable difference of opin ion has existed here for some weeks between the farmer members of the mutual exchange and certain feed and supply merchants of the city ai to the activities of the exchange, Charges have been made by the feed dealers that the exchange does not pay city and state licenses but at the same time is allowed to op erate In competition with the mer chants. The charge was further made that the home and farm agents, who are public servants, have their offices In the exchange budding and are aiding in the com mercial activities of the mutual or ganization. Speakers from the county coun cil of homy demonstrations clubs and from the mutual exchange warmly upheld the work of the two agents before the commissioners to day and at times it was impossible for the proceedings to be heard be cause of the cheers and applause of the farmers and farm women! present. The speakers proved that the work of the two agents was beneficial and productive and that they were engaged in educational tvork rather than iu commercial ac tivities. Attention was called to the income the women were receiving from the curb market which is housed in the exchange building. Several speakers representing the farmers called attention to the bet ter prices for whltf> they were buy ing their feed, femlizers and seeds and the profits which they are re ceiving from the sale of poultry, poultry products, cured meats ond other items. At no time, said the speakers, did the farm agent en courage them to buy any special material offered for sale by the ex j change. The low prices and the pa tronage checks at the end of eaoh ■ season was sufficient argument for trading with the exchange, they | said. If Entire Wealth Were Divided Your Part Would Be $39 Average Man Would be Disappoint ed in Very Small Amount of Cash Comini;. New York.—Plans to divide up all the money and property in the i United States, proposed by a new political sect who call themselves “Divisionists" are being examined by economists. The new scheme is characterized as a long step beyond anything hitherto suggested by So cialists or communists. “It would lead promptly and inevitably to chaos and a lower standard of liv ing for everybody,” declares Dr. William Bacon Bailey, statistician of the American Magazine. If all the money and property in the United States were split up equally, what would be the share of each person? The. answer is as fol lows: Each person would have $39 in money. $1,400 worth of real estate, a $100 share In an automobile, $160 worth of clothing and personal be longings and $1,300 worth of ma chinery. railroad equipment, raw materials, and other property which could not be physically di vided without destroying its value. The income of each American would be $500 a year, but this would be reduced to $380 by a tax bill of $119 a year. Dr. Bailey shows that if all the Americans who have incomes of more than $10,000 a year were cut down to that figure the result would only Increase the income of other Americans 10 cents a day. “Many people contend that the salaries paid to the executives of big corporations are too high,” sug gests Dr. Bailey. "As a matter of fact, the rewards paid for expert management are far smaller than most persons realize, and are in slgnificent in relation to the total income of the country.’ The United States Steel corpora tion pays some very high salaries, he declares, but if the money paid in high salaries was distributed throughout the staff, the average would be increased only 5 cents a day. government, to conceal the crimi nal and prevent his conviction. Such lawyers have brought dis grace upon the profession and cre ated disrespect for law. It was against them that Chief Justice Blease Issued a warning in ’ his counsel to the graduates at Colum bia. When only just causes are brought Dry Law Issue Also Big Topic For Democrats All Other Question* Secondary As Convention News. Chicago, June 22.—Prohibition, j the word that spelled roaring dls-1 put,e for the Republicans now strag gling homeward, was first on the tongues today of convention-bent Democrats. Candidates, economic issues, even organization, took second place in the discussion of newly arrived Democratic leaders to the question: What will the Democrats do about prohibition? .... Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Democratic national executive com mittee, puffing at a Dlack 'brier be tween answers to the two score newspaper men at his first press conference, believed the party would adopt a plank favoring" sub mission of prohibition to the people to determine whether they want the 18th amendment repealed. He called the Republican plank impossible of interpretation and said that of the Democrats would be specific and brief. He expected that it would denounce conditions under prohibition in its preamble. The tentative picked members of the Democratic resolutions com mittee will assemble next Thursday to begin work on that party’s plat form. hoping that they can saw out the rough outlines of moat of the planks by the time the convention assembles. Open hearings probably will be held on some of the disputed issues. The convention, Itself, will have to ratify the make-up of the committee later. While the resolutions committee may have a ready-made plank for the convention when it meets, Shouse does not believe the prohi bition question will be disposed of without a floor fight such as pro vided the dramatic high spot for the newly adjourned Republican meeting. The last paper from the littered work room floors had hardly been cleared away from the Republican convention before Shouse and others who will help to arrange for the Democratic meeting were on the ground. Already the headquarters of two of the Democratic presndential contenders are set up. But that of the leading candidate, Franklin D. Roosevelt, has not yet been opened. The first .on the scene were repres entatives of John N. Gamer, the speaker of the house. State Patrolmen Busy During May Over 22,000 Motorists Stopped During May. Arrests During Month Total 1)82. Raleigh,—Stare highway patrol men stopped 22.442 violators of either the motor vehicle or highway laws during May and could have arrested every one of those stopped, it was pointed out today by Captain Charles D. Farmer, commander of the patrol, in releasing the report of the highway patrol for May. But of this number, 10,812 were per mitted to go on their way with nothing more than a warning or re primand from the patrolman. A total of 902 arrests were made during May, however, which is a larger number than in any previous month, while tickets were issued to the other violators instructing them to have certain defects. such as lights or brakes, corrected within a given length of time. These 962 ar rests brought in a total of $24,258, to the state and counties, of which more than $14,000 went to the coun ty school funds from fines and for feitures. "If we should tighten up and make arrests, for every offense, we could produce enough cash in fine* and forfeitures to pay a large share of the school costs in the state,” Captain Farmer said. 'However, we are continuing to adhere to the policy that the primary duty of the patrol is to enforce the highway laws and protect life and property on the highway, instead of trying to collect revenue by making ar rests only in extreme cases, since we do not want to needlessly an tagonize the motoring public.” Of the 982 arrests made, 130 were for driving without a license. 110 for using improper tags, 107 for drunken driving, 113 for speeding, 109 for Improper lights and 60 lai reckless driving, 40 for being drunk on highway*, with 367 for miscel laneous causes. The lights of 8.700 cars were fixed at service stations after warnings by patrolmen, while tickets for defec tive lights were issued to 1,918 oth er motorists. Patrolmen investigat ed 111 accidents in which 16 per sons were killed and 99 injured.

Next Great Deluge Forecast By Science Melting Polar Ice Caps to Raise the Level of Seas and Flood the Continents. (New York Times.) We will speak of the "Tee Age” as if it belonged to the remote geolo gical past. Geologists have reached the conclusion that there were sev eral Ice ages. What is more, the last ice age, known as the quaternary, is only about half over, despite our blistering summers. "Eternal ice" or "eternal snow’’ are figments of the poet’s imagination. Very slowly the great Ice sheets in the Arctic and Antartic regions are melting and pouring torrents into the oceans. The earth must inevitably change its aspects and its climate. How the change Is slowly taking place and what the result will be has been considered by such able geologists, physicists and meterolo glsts as Professor Sir Edgeworth David of the University of Sydney, Australia, Professor Wilhelm Mien ardus of Gottingen and a score of others. The latest is Dr. William J. Humphreys of the United States weather bureau, who recently ad dressed the American Meteorologl-' cal society on the subject, summar izing old views and modifying them In the light of the information gath ered in the Antarctic regions by the Byrd expedition and >n Greenland by the Ill-fated Professor Alfred Wegener and his companions. Glacial Sheets Reduced by Half. The glacial sheets that now cover the North and South poles were once 12,000,000 square miles In ex tent—more than one-fifth the pres ent total land area of the globe. In the course of about 700,000 years they have melted down to their present area of about 6.000.000 square miles. The iee on Greenland alone is ten times vaster than the area of the state or New York. Weg ener's echo soundings showed that It Is over 9,000 feet thick near the center of the island and about 4. 000 feet thick near the edges, of the bowl over which it spills. - Here, then, we have enough ice to provide a layer of water one mile thick over 700.000 of Greenland's 827,275 square miles of surface. To this we must add another layer of mile-deep wa ter which would be spread over S, 300.000 square miles of Antarctl'c 5.400.000 square miles. The earth is steadily growing warmer. As all the ice at the two poles melts a stupendnous volume of water will be released- Professor I David conservatively estimates that the sea level will rise fifty feet. Professor Melnardus doubts that estimate. Dr. Humphreys, with the studies of Byrd and Wegener before him, believes that the rise will be 161 feet. Such floods are nothing new as we see by the marine fossils found on the tops of the Rockies, Andes and other mountain ranges. The Deluge of the Future. So. within 30,000 or 40,000 years there will be another deluge. Salt water will sweep over the conti nents leaving only the higher land dry. Holland will be Inundated. Fish will swim in Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey, for most of England will lie beneath the waves. The Desert of Sahara will be a great inland sea.

Palms and alligators would flouri|fi at the poles as they did milions of years ago. What will become of man if clima tic conditions are thus changed. Ice sheets in high altitudes produce strong contrasts in temperatures between the polar and equatorial regions. Winds, storms, weather that changes from day to day are the result.
