Got Wrong Idea

A great many people have the idea that they can publish any thing in newspaper and sign it themselves and the newspaper is thus relieved of all responsibility in the matter. This is not 90. A newspaper can be held responsible for giving admission to its columns nd circulating through the country libellous articles. or articles or ad- vertisements designed to defraud or swindle the pubic The newspa- per man must use his discretion, as the quality of being a newspaper man is. first, last and all the time, mainly, to know what not to Eub- fish. The correspondent who ire. quently wants to make personal attack on some person will say that his article is not libellous and Iihat he can prove what he says. This 3he newspaper man can only safely take for granted after the case, and all the evidence bearing thereon has been heal I'd and decided by jury or some properly auth orized legal tribunal. A newspaper is not a proper avenue for the carrying on of personal fights. or the settling of what should pro- perly be lawsuits.-Prescott Cour- fer.

MILLS SHUT DOWN
FOR LACK OF POWER
Drought Affects 152 Plants in
North Carolina.

Charlotte, N. O., July 31.-As cli-
max to the unprecedented drought this
section is experiencing, one hundred
and fifty.two cotton mills in North and
South Carolina shut down today be-
cause the water in Catawba river is 80
low that the Southern Power company
cannot supply the plants with power.
1t is estimated that 10, 900 operators
are thrown out Of employment. 1t is
expected that work will be resumed
in two days. It has been man weeks
since rain Of any consequeIce .:..s r.. fall
en-, and local weather bureau rect rds
show now deficiency, of,5o per, cent,
in precipi alton for this section.
Greeks which have not gone dry in As
years are mud holes, and the distress
smong the rural population, dependent
for water on wells, is great.
Mountain streams to the west, upon
which many Touring mills, tanneries,
and otton mills are dependent for
power, have dwindled to mere brooks
in some instances, and many foreign
enterprises have been forced to shut
down. Crops in this immediate Sec
ton are burning up In the fields. Ma
ny farmers in this and adjoining; eoun'
ties, despairing of corn crop, have
chopped down the young corn and are
using it for feed, while the bot winds
are playing havoc with cotton.
Cities and towns to the north and
west of Charlotte are facing the ordeal
of a water famine that this city is now
experiencing. Concord, Wadesboro,
Monroe and other towns are facing the
water supply problem, and measures
of economy are being enforced.
The situation in Charlotte is not i'm
proved, although the authorities are
working day and night on the problem
Feeling that the distress is not being
relieved as promptly as was hoped for
by meas Of tank cars, the offers Of
WI lter from Shelby, Lincolnton and
Gastonia were today accepted, and
tank cars brought in tonight $4,000
gallons from Gastonia. This was pump
ed into the mains Of the city by means
of fire engines.
Special prayer services for rain were
yesterday held in churches throughout
the section. There was brief show
er today and rain is falling lightly to-
night, with promising atmospheric
conditions.
