Total Of 500 Laws Passed By Congress Washington — Around 500 laws were enacted by Congress during the session ended last week.* They were ehosen from 18,000 bills Introduced, one of the bumper bill crops In his tory. Of this extraordinary total of Ideas on what legislation the country needed, 13.000 were pre sented in the house, 5,000 In the Senate. Most were of minor Im portsfice. The House figure compares with only 7,700 for the last long session of Con gress. Besides the bills in both houses this term there were simple resolutions, Joint resolu tions, concurrent resolutions which would add approximately another thousand thoughts on the public weal — that’s 19,000 brain children. The tally of the last long ses sion showed 517 public laws, 281 private laws and resolutions, 84 public resolutions passed and signed by the President—a larg er total than for this session. Carolina Farmers Export Many Spuds Elizabeth City.—A total of 1,837 carloads of potatoes were shipped from this district during the season Just closed.* Of this number. 969 moved from Elizabeth City; 415 from Camden; 157 from Belcross; 47 from Gregory; 242 from Shawboro; and seven from Moyock, while approximately 20 cars went to Norfolk by boat and thence by boat to New York. Last year’s figures showed 1,245 cars from Elizabeth City, the dis trict's center, and 2,317 from the district. Prices ranging from *1.50 and *2.20 were received at the tracks here and *1.75 estimated as the average for the 371,200 barrels, bringing approximately *644,390 for the crop. “FOOTLOOSE" PEOPLE (From Greensboro News) Welfare officer, speaking at Chap el Hill, urges that “footloose" fami lies, who travel aimlessly over the country, be sent back home. But, if they had homes, would they be “footloose"? Bamum Was Right; Many Folks Seem To Enjoy Being Tricked And Fooled People Seem To Aak To Be Swin dled In Both Old And Modern' Time*. The world seems to be ready to be fooled. But it makes a bis dif ference under what circumstances the fooling is done. People of two continents paid to see and laughed at Bamum’s de ceptions shown in his circus. They sneered when Dr. Cook's claims to discovery of the North Pole were found to be false. But the misrep resentations of John H. Curtis in the tragic Lindbergh kidnaping have brought a storm of bitter an ger upon his head and landed Cur tis in Jail. In 1835 a New York paper pub lished reports of remarkable dis coveries on the ; »oon by "Sir John Herschel” with his new and power ful telephone on the Cape of Good Hope. Africa. “Herschel" saw strange creatures on the moon, something between a human being and a large ape with wings like a bat. Scientists lent respectful ears and the world at large “ate up” these stories. Then it was found the whole thing was the imagination of a writer in Brooklyn, Richard Locke. And everybody laughed. The same year, 1835, P. T. Bar num began hoaxing the credulous out of $4,000,000 and made them like It. First he exhibited ‘‘Joiee Heth, 181-year-old negro nurie of George Washington.” At her death surgeons declared she could not have been over 80. Next came his ’Fejel mermaid.” then a negro he made up with strange head of hair and hairy hide passed off as ‘‘Zip and What-Is-It?” Barnum’s “Wild Man of Borneo” was In the same class all proving there Is gold In gullibility. In 1907 Dr. Frederick Cook start ed for Greenland. He was not heard from until September 1, 1909, when a lonely telegrapher on the Shet land Islands Informed the world Cook had reached the North Pole. Royalty and cheering crowds greet ed him on his return. Then came news of Peary’s discovery and Cook’s exposure as a faker. Again the people, except for some scien tists that were fooled, laughed. Ephemeral estates are one of the commonest forms of fakery and have taken millions from hopeful heirs and put theui Into the pock ets of shyster lawyers. In England It Is the Drake estate used over and over again on succeeding gener ations, always good for fees from the gullible. In America the same scheme has been worked on sup posed heirs of a 8prlnger estate In the heart of Wilmington, Del.; the Anneke Jans property In New York worth many millions, the Edwards millions awaiting division, and so on. In 1926 an enterprising writer named Frank Power announced he had discovered the body of Lord Kitchener In a cemetery at Eger sund, Norway. Kitchener, as the world knew, went down with the steamship Hampshire, sunk by a German submarine In 1916. But Power had the entire world agasp as the coffin supposedly containing the body of the famous Englishman was transported to London. With the stage for maximum publicity all set the coffin was opened. It was empty. Power was merely pro moting his moving picture repro duction of the sinking of the Hampshire. Nothing was done to these master hoaxers. In fact, the people seemed to enjoy having been gulled. But John H. Curtis was clapped Into Jail and Is charged with obstruct ing Justice. His arrest put an abrupt end to the most tragic hodx In history. Ministers To Make Fight On Sabbath Games Charlotte Ministers Opoain* Sunday Baseball. Preach Against Sport. Charlotte, July 20.—After receiv ing signed petitions ot protest against Sunday baseball from prac tically every church la the county and numerous other protests from Individual laymen, the Charlotte Ministerial association at a special meeting this week appointed a com mittee to use its influence against the practice of Sunday baseball. This committee was in fact an ex pansion of the organisations civic affairs committee. It was given the power to act following an Investiga tion that it might make. Appointed to serve with the com mittee were Dr. E. N. Orr, pastor of Tabernacle A, R. P. church; Dr. A. 8. Johnson, pastor of First Presby terian church; Rev. Herbert Spaugh, pastor of Myers Park Moravian church; Dr. Luther Little, pastor of First Baptist church, and Dr. W. H. Williams, pastor of Pritchard Me morial Baptist church. The chairman of the civic affairs committee la Dr. C. W. Durden, pas tor of St. John’s Baptist church. Dr. W. H. Williams president of the association, pretided at the meeting today. There was a good attendance of the ministers of the county. Reports showed that every mem ber of the association spoke against Sunday baseball from their pulpits yesterday, with what was described as a good response. In the discussions it was em phasised that the committee was to display "Christian spirit” in its ap proach to the question. The plan of action constituted calls on persons in authority in baseball circles in an effort to have the plan for play ing on Sunday afternoon abandoned. It was reported before the meet ing that already there is a dlssen tion or a difference in opinion in baseball circles and that officials are not unanimously in favor of playing the Sunday game. One baseball official was quoted a* say ing that while he opposed the plan of Sunday baseball that influence over which he had no control was so strong that the game was played despite his feeling about the matter, according to a report of the meet ing given to The News by an offi cial of the organisation. Marriages In North Carolina Show Decrease Drop Of 9.9 Per Cent Under 1930 Total Announced By Census Bureau. Divorces Drop. Washington, July 30.—The num ber of marriages performed In North Carolina In 1931 decreased 9.9 percent under the number in 1930, the census bureau announces, with one divorce being granted for every 8.6 couples wedded. There were 13,127 couples wedded in the Tar Heel state in 1931, com pared with 14,573 in 1930. This fig ure made 4.1 weddings in 1931 per 1,000 population, compared with 4.6 weddings for each 1,000 population in 1930. The number of divorces granted in North Carolina in 1931 was two less than in 1930, the totals being 1,535 and 1,537. This was a decrease of 0.1 of one per cent. The figure per 1,000 of population was the same for each year, 0.43. There were sixteen marriages an nulled in North Carolina in 1931 and 27 in 1930. Decrease In Nation For the United States ag a whole, there were 1,060,095 marriages in 1931, a decrease of 68,477 under the 1930 total of 1,128,572. The nation’s divorce total was 183,695 in 1931, a decrease of 7,896 under the 1930 fig ure of 191,591. There were 4,383 mar riages annualled in 1931, compared with 4,370 in 1930. South Carolina and Virginia, which adjoin North Carolina, were among the eleven states to show in creases in marriages. This was at tributed in part to the changes in marriage laws in North Carolina and Tennessee which required three to five days’ notice of weddings un der legislation which became effec tive July 1, 1929. In other words, the census bu reau attributed some of the wed dings performed in Virginia and South Carolina, as rightfully belong ing to have been performed in North Carolina and Tennessee. Urges People To Fight Book Change In N. C. Head Of Hickory Schools Opposes New geography. Would Cost Parents. Hickory, July 20.—Asserting that he believes that the adoption of a new set of geographies for Use in North Carolina schools would cost the people something like $300,000 needless expense, Pro. R. W. Carver, superintendent of the Hickory school system, urges citizens gen erally to rise in protest against further changes in textbooks at this critical time. Supt. Carver says although he has had no official notification, he has been informed that a new ser ies of arithmetics has already been adopted, and it is his suggestion that only by prompt and concerted action can the adoption of a new geography be prevented, as it is be ing considered by the state com mission. The Hickory school superintend ent makes clear that he has no special brief to present in favor of any particular publisher of school textbooks, but it is his contention that all of the books already in use should be retained until citizens are better able to buy new books. Thus, pupils already owning textbooks, but with no further use for them will be in position to pass them along to younger brothers and sis ters of sell them at a bargain to other children having need for Selling Truck In Town A Local Job Protest Made About Buying Farm Products From Farmers Of Other Counties. Gastonia Gazette. Another angle of the relations between country people and town folks Is touched on by The Greens boro News in Its comment on the following Item from the Trinity, route one, correspondence of The Lexington Dispatch: "It appears by our item that those who are not fishing are either play ing ball or going to meeting but the rest are picking blackberries, some of us are still farming In between times also. You see we have time now for social activities since we don’t have to raise anything on our farms only Just what we can con sume, since we can’t sell one thing to the town people. They either buy off trucks or do without, we don’t know which. Turcs from oth er counties and so many dairies sure are hard on us who formerly made a good living ‘peddling’ our milk and butter and garden stuff.” The Greensboro paper says, "but meantime the townspeople do con tinue to eat, and they do not buy anything like all of their garden sass from trucks, either. They’d buy more If there was any certainty when they could get it; but hav ing to have something they usually go or telephone to the grocer for it. There is not a trucker on Trinity route one who could not build up a good trade in town if he’d try to suit the convenience of his pros pective customers instead of his own. "There never was anything to peddling vegetables in town; there never will be again. But If the householders knew that by 9 or 10 o’clock each or every other morning she could be sure of fresh-laid eggs, new butter and real roas’n-ear com she’d prefer buying it from the man who grew it.” A point we have made more than once in the discussion of Wfe local curb market. If the hole wives of the town knew that they could get what they wanted from the curb market any day, or at any time of day they wanted it, the market would be flourishing. They are not disposed to travel several blocks, and engage in a bargain counter scramble to get a few eggs or roas’n’ears when they can get the same thing in a clean, well ordered, courteous grocery store, and at about the same price. Another thing about this peddling it is true there is not much more to this thing of harum scarum indis criminate peddling of country pro duce. It is a thing of the past. The real truckers now has his route and his chosen and select customers; they know what to expect from him. They know exactly what day he is coming and about the time of day. They know what he will have to sell, and consequently, they can arrange other purchases ac cordingly. There are dozens of these farm ers who are making good money, in Gastonia going from house to house, but they are following a well planned route. They are not trusting to luck. They come on other days except Saturday morn ings and they make a business of catering to the wishes of their cus tomers. No. townspeople do not buy from foreign truckers any more than they can help. They would much prefer to buy from local farmers and gardeners and will do so, all other things being equal. RECORD WHEAT CROP GROWN IN RUTHERFORD Forest City, July 18.—One of the highest wheat yields made in Ruth erford county this year was made by J. D. Weeks, Jrx of Rutherford ton, route 4, states County Agent T. E. Patton. Mr. Week3 produced 175 1-2 bushels of wheat on fiv? acres of land. This was an average of about 35 bushels per acre. Mr. Weeks used 430 pounds of aeld phosphate to fertilize the land. He treated the wheat for smut and it was unusually clean. It was of the Purple Straw variety. NOT UNDER A BUSHEL Monroe Journal. The authorities of Winston have come in for a great deal of criticism for the way they have handled the Reynolds case—conducting the in quest in secret. Matters of public interest, especially when handled by public officials, can never be hand led successfully in secret. Sometimes we think that the average public official knows less of popular psy chology than any other mortal alive. A thing that would be but a breath when treated openly becomes a storm when treated secretly. Pub lic matters cannot be handled un tder a bushel. them. Supt. Carver said that even If the present geography, known as the Brigham and McFarlane series, is not quite up-to-date, he is inform ed the publishers will supply sup plements to the old texts free of charge for use of the children who need them, and a discount of twen ty-five percent in retail price will be made to all new books sold to most any concessions that might be made by publishers of other texts that might be adopted. Fear Dry Raids To Cause Riots New York Town Warn* of Possible Bloodshed Unless Agents Change Methods. Alexandria Bay, N. Y.—The chamber of commerce last week In formed officials at Washington that a "serious situation resulting in possible death and bloodshed will result Inside of 48 hours If some thing Is not done” about methods used In prohibition raids here.

A negro preacher, shortly after being called to a church, was de livering a funeral sermon for a de parted member. It happened that the deceased had been afflicted with rheumatism and the undertaker had found it necessary to strap the body down. One of the straps broke. The following day, two of the sis ters were discussing the new preach er. "How yo’ like him?” one ask ed. "He uses too strong language,” complained the other. "What yo’ mean, too strong language?” was the question. “Why, he say,” said the sister, "damn a church whut ain’t got but one door in It!” Sourwood Tree* Big Source Honey Morganton.—The first honey flow for Burke county this season is now under way with the bloom ing of the sourwood trees, reports Robert L.
