Pithy Paragraphs from the Durham
Herald.

When the politicians turn teetC ta!-
ers it is time for the rest OF us to fall
, in line.
| Combine or no combine, the fifth
district is evidently counting on get
ting what is coming to it.
At least one member Of the recent
Legislature has declared that he has
enough and wants nothing else.
Those papers that are in receipt OF
a subsi ~ should at lea have 10
trouble in paying ont Saturday
nights.
But If the next State convention
! g stores III. conservatives to good
standing what are you going to do
about it.
Mr.. Page is perhaps wondering
what he said to lead the Legislature
to think hat his road was one of the
big ones.
Mr.. Kitchin denies that there is IL
combine and we suppose we will have
to put it down merel v rs a remark
able coincidence.
We wish the farmers could get
better prices for their tobacco
then they might not ask SO much for
chickens and eggs.
For Us, we do not mind seeing lie
railroads make few dollars. They
cannot very well prosper in il coun-
try that is on irs uppers.
There WAS no occasion for the
populists joining the Republic aas
when they could join the Democrats
and get what they wanted.
1t is wrong to allow people to de-
eide for themselves what they want
unless they happen to want what
you think they ought to have.
There are a few in the fifth dis
trict who are not supposed to belong
to the combine who seem to think
they are entitled to something.

much about it to know that it is

1t has been broadly intimated that
n portion of the Senate was Influenced
by the tobacco trust, and still there
has been no call for an investigation
nor has anybody been called Il liar
about it.
Even those OF Us who stand for
good morals do not know exactly
where we are at, as what is believed
to be all right in one community is
considered radically wrong in an
other and the law proposes to look
at it at that way.
We cannot understand the nature
of the man who gets mad beca Use
the public or any part of it refuses tC
accept his ideas or theories We
have our opinions on most questions
that come up but we would not force
anybody to our way of thinking.

North Carolina Progress.
Raleigh Times.

Raleigh Times.
The bureau of manufactures at
Washington is printing in the con-
sular and trade reports extacts from
speech delivered at Charlotte by
Govener Glenn in which he related
the marvellous progress along indus
trial lines in North Carolina. This
extract is included:
I'VE now have in North Carolina
100000 persons when we had only
100000 80 years ago. Our wealth
increased from 100000 to billion
dollars; our debt has been reduced
from $40, 100000 to absolutely
nothing. We bave $1O,OOO,O0O as
sets with which to meet outstanding
obligations of $6,O0O,OOO Thirty
six-years ago We had no spindles to
speak CT; no railroads; we were known
as the Rip Van Wrinkle State. Now
all this has changed. Five years ago
North Carolina stood third in cotton
manufacturing in the United States:
now we stand second, and two years
from now we stall be first
There is no doubt about the fact
that conditions have changed. We
are no longer in the Rip Van Wrinkle
stage. The development has been
marked, but it would be dangerous
to enact laws which would retard
progress and brighten capital which
is inclined to come to our state. A
statement in the consular reports,
along with the address of the goven-
or, that the tendency hereabouts is
toward conservatism would add ire
mendious force to that which has
been so truly and so eloquentlv
expressed.

No Worse than Republicans Have
Done.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger.
The Republicans are crying shame
because the Legislature took Surry
out of the Eighth congressional dis
trict andput it in the fifth. The pur-
pose was, of course, to increase the
chances of keeping the former dis
trict i'll the Democratic ranks, which
the change does without at all en-
dangering Democratic hold on the
other. There is no crime in that.
and the Republicans are barred by
their own record from making any
kick. Does not each party. when it
comes in power, form the districts so
as to give it Il better showing in the
election OF congressman? Had the
conditions i'll the two districts been
Just the reverse would not the Re-
publlcans, were they in control of
the Legislature, have done exactly
as the Democrats have done? We
do not think the truthful men of
that party will deny it.

FOR WOOD PRESERVATION.
Efforts of Uncle Sam to Prevent De
cay of Valuable Lumber.

Efforts of Uncle Sam to Prevent De-
cay of Valuable Lumber.
Uncle Sam Is making careful and
elaborate Investigations of methods OF
preserving wood, which are expected to
result in the savings Of millions Of dol
lars annually by the prevention OF de-
cay. It has been determined that coal
tar creosote Is a most effective preser-
Vative of timber and number Of ex"
periments are being made along this
line.
Those most directly and materially
interested In the experiments in the
methods of creosote treatment are the
railroad companies, the mining inter-
ests of the country and the telephone
companies.
All of these industries expend mill
ions Of dollars every year in renewing
timber which Is made useless through
rapid decay. The growing scarcity of
the more durable woods has made II
necessary for the lumber industry to
turn to the less durable timbers The
economical utilization Of many woods
which are very susceptible to decay
would be out Of the question but for
the possibility of preserving them
through treatment.
+ 1t has been shown in the experiments
which have been made that the life
Of some kinds Of timber can be doubled
or trebled by impregnation with creo
sote oil.
A representative of the forest servict
Is now visiting number Of the larg'
eastern cities In the study of creosot'
oil production and the coal tars whicl
furnish the raw material for It. Th
commercial use of preservatives will
check the work Of the insects and flung
/ which DESTROY the timber.

Kite control within certain prescrib-
ed limits has been accomplished In
France by means Of "deviator," and
this makes the kite available for life
saving purposes. A severe test was
given to the device some time ago at
Royan, on the east coast of France, and
wonderful things were accomplished.
Skates have been invented, says the
Scientific American, which will fold
perfectly fat and to such small dimen-
sions that they can be carried In the
pocket. A leather wallet with two
pockets is supplied with each pair, and
when closed the package Is three
fourths of an inch wide, inch thick
and the length of the skates.
Even the nursery demands automo-
bile thrills. A French toy Of recent
design consists of an automobile which,
with chauffeur and mechanician, dashes
, along at high rate Of speed for a
distance and then the thing suddely
collapses. The two men are thrown
out and the machine turns over and
piles up like real wreck, to the de-
light Of the children.
Among fishes that are able to live a
considerable time out Of water and
that habitually invade the land Is the
"climblng perch" which can remain for
days out of water, and which Is even
said to climb palm trees, whence Its
name. The hopping goby," which
leaves the sea to skip along the shore
4 in chase Of insects and sand-haunting
mollusks, has an elbow joint In Its
fore fin which thus serves for a leg.
Its gill cavity Is enlarged 80 that II
can contain considerable air. 1t Is be-
lieved, however, that respiration Is aid
ed by the thin skin Of the tail fin. In
climbing perch the gill cavity contains
a special organ which seems to play
the part of q lung. Landcrabs possess
an analogous organ In their gill cavi'
ties.
David T. Day Of the United States
Geological Survey, referring to the fact
that within the last four or FIVE years
the price of platinum has increased
about tenfold, says that nevertheless nc
real famine In platinum exists. Al
present it is always obtained by placer
mining, but 1t also occurs as arsenids
and gulphids. The present supply Of
the metal is probably 100000 OUNCES
per year, and the probable future de
mand is estimated at 100000 ounces
systematically worked, the known
placer deposits could yield 175,OO'
ounces per year, and 1t is deemed un
likely that the arsenid and sulphid de
posts will be worked until after tn
placers are exhausted. The high prices
Doctor Day says, have mainly beel
produced by combination of dealer
and boarding Of the metal.

Paint and ocean Trouble.

"The worst feature of ocean travel
is never mentioned In steamship COM
pany prospectuses or In books of trav-
ell" said a returned tourist. 1T is not
seasickness, for only d few are taken
that way In the ocean greyhounds that
neither rock nor pitch. 1t Is not the
narrow quarters or the inferior cook
ing or the tipping habit 1t Is paint.
There Is always wet paint on an ocean
steamer, and there Is never sign on
It to warn passengers. The modern
sailor is a painter, constantly welding
the brush, always painting some part
Of the ship or other. There Is hardly
a passenger on an ocean liner that
does not land from voyage with some
article Of apparel damaged by paint.
A sailor told me onue that every ship
is repainted inside and out at least
three times year. The work goes on
constantly In port and on the sea, and
the passenger never can escape. PHIL

Fooling a Wolf.

A boy II years old, the son Of a
pioneer in Montana, observed wolf
sneaking about one day last January.
He took sheep skin and spread 1t
over low bush in such way that It
resembled the live animal, and after a
time the wolf made dash for 1t.
He detected the fraud at once, and
instead of galloplpg away with the
pelt, which would have made a good
dinner for him, he dropped 1t and
sneaked off with his tail between his
legs. He realized that he had been
made the victim Of joke, and he felt
the same as a boy who had been April
fooled.

CRIME AND IT'S VAST COST.
rortentous sum Paid by Americas
People ON This Account.

Portentous sum Paid by Americas
People on This Account.
The cost of crime to the government
reaches the enormous sum Of $4,000
600. on this sum $4,000, 600 Is ex-
Tended In certain percentage ef the
maintenance of the supreme and fed
eral courts, United States district at
torneys United States marshals and
the secret service bureau; part OF 1t Is
the cost Of crime to the treasury de-
partment to prevent smuggling, the
cost of crime to the army and the navy
and to the postoffice and to allied de
partments.
The government losses by smuggling
and postal frauds, ETC., add the $780,
100000 to make the aforesaid total. In
the last statement, which is only an
estimate Of what the national govern
ment pays for crime, 1t should be re-
membered that there are no reliable
figures on the subject In estimating
the government losses at $60,0O00O0 q
year for smuggling, fraud, etc. the
writer has endeavored to keep strictly
under the mark.
1t is estimated that the government
loses from $75,OOO,00O to $100,000,000
a year by smuggling alone; while. the
postoffice frauds are believed to have
cost the government something like
SAC, 100000 year.
The detailed cost of crime In the
United States presents some astound-
ing figures. In 1907 the cost of crime
In Greater New York was $35, 5,502,-
1924 The State, county and city
authorities outside of Greater New
York spent for it $42,605, ,472.75. In
forty-five States New York excluded)
the expenditure was $697 ,0S0,000
Criminal losses by fires totaled $780,
100000. BY customs frauds the ma
tional government lost $60,000,0OO.
During this one year the loss In
wages of 100000 State prisoners was
2S,O8O,OOO, while the loss in wages Of
10000 prisoners in city and county
jails was $33,000000. The grand to-
tai, therefore, Of the cost of crime In
the United States reaches the stupen-
dous figures of $1,076, 1927 605.99.
The cost of religious work in the
United States is enormous. The cost Of
foreign missions, comprising all de.
nominations, is $7,0O0000; home mis-
sions expend the same sum. We spend
for education $2O0,O00O0O; for church
expenses and ministers salaries, $780,
100000. Hospitals and dispensaries
for the sick poor cost us $1OO,OOO,O0O;
for sanitariums Of all kinds we spend
$50 100000. City missions and rescue
work of all kinds demand and receive
S3,OO0,OOO; humanitarian work of ev
cry kind, $12,0Oo,oo0.
Our Young Mems and Young Wom
ems Christian Associations cost 20,
OOO. 900: while all other moral and SO
cial work in the United States requires
an expenditure of $5,000,000. The to
tai expenditures for humanitarian ant
religious work Is, then, $549,OO0,OOO
AS against this the total cost Of crim'
in the United States for the yea
reached the Incredible total of $1,076,
; 1927, ,605.99.
That Is to say, we spend more thai
$500, 100000 year more on GRIM

Rather Than Betray Secrets.
Not long ago Kansas City stenog-
rapher learned that the railroad for
which she was working had determined
to extend It's line. She had a friend
living In the town through which the
line was to run.
A letter to him, with her savings,
would have enabled him to buy at a
low price the land the road needed,
and the peculiar nature of the ground
In that neighborhood would have en-
abled him to sell at a great profit. She
did not consider the thing more than
a minute and then decided that 1t
would be dishonorable thing to do.
Another stenographer in large real
estate Office became aware Of deal in
which $15OOOO was involved. Certain
information she possessed would be
worth thousands to the other parties.
They made few advances and limited
at rewards as high as 5000 for her
betrayal Of her firm. She Indignantly
refused and told her employers Of the
scheme.
! Another stenographer was offered
$1,000 for copies of three letters which
she had written. A lawsuit In which
her employers were involved might
