Getting the Higher-Ups

A prominent physician of Green's
borO has been sentenced to the roads
for a lengthy term upon conviction for
immortality. There are probably thou
sands of men in North Carolina who
are just as guilty as this doctor and
who ought to be aroused about their
sinfulness, if not by the proddings Of
their conscience, by this new evidence
that the courts of the State, upon oc-
casions, will arise to the full length
of duty and send men to punishment
who are prominent and in spite Of
their prsetige. 1t gives hope that in
the course of time, the officers of the
law may become as eager to grab the
big violators as the little violators,
that they will not be respecters of per-
sons in their diligent searches; and,
then, too, the courts will follow up
their movings among the elect by ad-
ministering the same sort of punish
ment to the great as to the small
That is what the law is intended to
do-to move with equal momentum
against all classes, all stratums, all
cOlors, all whatsoever. And when JUS
.tice does not move that way, it ought
to stand absolutely still.

Bv MARY A. CLODFELTER.

Apparently our tribulations are just
beginning. God has been very merci-
full to US but we ignore all his com
mandments, hence it is my belief this
dry spell is sent upon us for punish
ment; it looks as though we will have
a draught.
Owing to the dry weather, farmers
will be unable to sow very much
wheat.
Mr.. T. S. Farabee and small son.
John Clay, had a very narrow escape
last Saturday night. On returning
home from Wallburg an automobile
owned by Chester Motsinger ran into
the rear of Mr.. Farabee's buggy tear
ing the whesl off, doing considerable
damage, throwing Mr.. Farabee and
son to the ground. The child received
a deep cut across the face, while Mr..
Farabee was injured in the side. DR..
jackson, of High Point, was inmedi-
ately summoned. He pronounced the
bruises nothing serious. 1t was a mi
racle that they were not killed.
There are so many accidents on the
road from Walburg to Shady Grove
that it takes a person possessing an
unusual amount of nerve to venture
forth.
Farmers are almost through curing
tobacco. Tobacco didn't meet with
our expectations this year, seems as
though it is a very inferior grade, and
that of course will bring very little
money.

S. M. Wade Brings Boil WeeviI Back
From Cotton Fields in South
Carnlina


That the cotton crop in South Caro-
lima will be unusually small this year
because of the activities of the boil
weevil is the opinion of S. NJ. Wade,
prominent High Point citizen, who has
just returned from the palmetto state
where he saw the pets at his destruct-
i've work.
Mr.. Wade brought back with him a
number of boil weevis in bottle and
after showing them to his friends he
left the bottle at Nations drug store
where it is attracting much attention.
Mr.. Wade has spent several days
in South Carolina and during his stay
there he made a tour Of the cotton
belt Farmers, he said, are greatly
discouraged because of the conditions
existing. The destructive work of
the boil weevil in the cotton area is
disheartening not only for the farm
ers, but for the visitors who are ready
to sympathibe with the farmers. Mr..
Wade said the indications are that the
cotton crop will be smaller this year
than ever and the chief reason, he
said, is attributed to the fact that the
boil weevil has visited that section.
The boil weevil is a peculiar pest.
He wiggles his head, legs and bill
constantly and apparently never gets
tired. He conceals himself in the
cotton boil and there sucks the life
out Of the plant.
Mr.. Waoe said the boil weevil
could live in a bottle for 80 days.
While in South Carolina Mr.. Wade
was accompanied by the members of
his family. They visited relatives at
his old home in Columbia.

The Law Will Survive

A very important point must be de-
ternnined in the West Virginia situa-
tion. 1t is nothing more nor less than
whether or not the law will remain su-
preem or the mob take the reins of
government in it's hands. We have a
rather accurate idea as to how it will
come out. The mobs spasmodicalIy
succeed sometimes; the law is often
trampled under foot; order gives way
to chaos and rigid government is
forced to yield to the passions of the
conglomerate crowd, but in the long
run, the law survives and the majesty
of government is undefled. West Vir-
ginia will be no exception.

Point Tuesday night shortly after s

Marching behind the horsemen in
the parade were klansmen carrying a

Governor a Suitor for
Hand of Mrs. Vanderbilt

Although rumOrs have been drifting
down from the North Carolina noun
i talns for some weeks of the activities
OF a trio of suitors about the palatiaI
country home of Mrs. George W. Van
derbllt, printed news to this effect has
appeared in a New York paper. Ac-
cord1ng to this gossiper, Governor
Morrison is the most conspicuous of
the. three, although General Pershing
and General Julian S. Carr are not in
active by any means.
Governor Morrison is expected to
return to the executive mansion at
Raleigh this week, after passing the
summer at Asheville, ''simply to be
near" as Ch0lly Knickerbocker writes
IN the New York American, ''the al
ways magnificent mistress of Biltnore,
house."
"Mrs. Vanderbilt and the Governor,
OF North Carolina" he goes on, 'have
worked together on several commit
tees to improve North Carolina roads
and the argus eyed ones are laying
their bets on Governor Morrison"
Mrs. Vanderbilt has taken an active
interest in public affairs in North
Carolina of late, among other things
being an officer of the state fair as
sociation. She addressed the state
legislature at it's last session and has
spoken recently in number OF places
in the state.
The report of the attentions paid by
Governor Morrison to Mrs. Vanderbilt
have been whispered about for several
weeks, in, fact ever since the Cover.
nor established the summer capital at
Asheville.
Although this New York newspaper
writer is laying his bets on Governor
Morrison, he considers that General
Carr and Beneral Persh1ng are equal
ly certain that they will be successful.
General Pershing, he says, has been
showing attentions to Mrs. Vanderbilt
for several months.
