TRUE ECONOMY.

According to the estimate OF Coun-
ty Judge Lightfoot, it costs Nc
Cracker county an average of $4,000
annually to send youths to the re-
form CD school at Lexington,
where they are herded together with
a lot of other bad boys from different
parts of the state and where they may
learn all the depravity possible to be
culled from the city slums and the
coves of the Kentucky mountains
In return for this investment the
county is given back at the end OF
the term for her bad boy, an adult
criminal learned in all the lore OF
his craft, with his technical and theo-
retical education completed, his char
acter gone and his reputation stamp
cd with the record of his confine
ment. II might cost this county as
much as 81, 500 a year to establish
and maintain a Juvenile court with
an advisory board of representative
men and women donating their serv-
tees and probation officers to look
after delinauent children and their
parents in their homes.
There is only one place where
.bildren can be reformed and their
habits corrected. That Is the
home. If the state had a reform
institution. built on the cottage plan
with matrons TO look after the little
homeless bad boys, the Institution
might be expected TO accomplish
aona good. but it scorcely pays Nc
cracker county to squander $4,000 a.
,sar inst to be free from incorriglble
Youngsters for few months when
they are certain to retu IN STEPPED in
deprayity. .

PARTING SHOT
TAKEN AT STATE OF NORTH CAR
OLINA BY RAILROADS.
They Were dubbed Into
Recommendations Newspapers
for Condition.

Asheville. y. c. July 30.-A part
ing shot at the state authorities in
the railroad controversy was fired
through petitions which the Southern
railway and the Atlantic Coast Line
filed before Judge Pritchard today,
asking that his interlooutory injunc-
ton be modified in accordance with
the peace agreement reached Satur-
day at Raleigh between Gov. Glenn
and the railroads. Both the roads
filed petitions very similar in tenor,
which explained a conference here to-
day between attorneys representing
the two roads.
The petition of the Southern rail-
way recites the entire history of the
railroad cases and includes a protest
against what the roads regard as
their i'll treatment; this protest and
recital of facts being designed for
perusal of the supreme court of the
United States as well as for the pub
lie. The railroads declare in effect
that they were dubbed into becoming
a party to the agreement effected at
Raleigh, that the public mind had
been infiamed by the newspapers and
the utterances of politicians. and the
agreement was only assented to UNI
der duress. because of threats OF
an extra session OF the Legislature for
the purpose Of adopting legislation
hostile to the railroads.

No sooner was the federal prosecI-

than specials from Washington be-
gan to appear in newspapers all over

wonderful facts brought out by the

given access to the tobacco trIst S

prepared for Us by the busy

"Man imprisoned in mortal

And the truth has led us
to consider ways and means
for taking the sting out Of
these coming events - for
turning them into endurable
burdens. And Of these WAYS
and means which We have
