A DISEASED YOUNG MAN

Now nat was the case here. The
rich y)une 1uler wanted to knew
what ai,s1 aim and the great phJsi-
clan diagnosed mis- disease 60 money
tits. He was loaGed down with fifty
lucre. He was like the Dead Sea-.
everything flowing into it and moth
ing flowing out. But he was oblivious
of his true condition. He really
thought that he had kept the COM
mandments in their true and inner
meaning. But when the Master put
the probe right into the sore of his
heart he WINGED, and cringed and
drew back. 1t is possible for man
to have a mortal disease and be I'M
conscious of it. And this young man
did not know what allied him until
Christ diagnosed the disease.

Tradition has touched with its
magic hand this rich young ruler, who
came so near the gates Of paradise
and yet missed it. According to the
legend his was the largest fortune Of
the era. Despite his youth he was a
member of the Sanhedrin. He held
the money bags and was the ablest
financier of his day. He was Rock
fellow, Carnegie and Morgan in one.
His fathers caravans, with the camels
and horses, went out to Arabia, Egypt
and Babylon, and returned with great
treasures. And yet, when Dante
wrote his story of the Inferno, he says
that Virgil pointed him out even in
hell, standing apart from princes, and
general and misers, the rich young
man who made the "Great Refusal"
A MODEL YOUNG MAN
What sort of a fellow was this
nameless young man of the gospel
who came so near becoming an apos-
tai and lost his chance of glorious
Immortality of fame? He was model
young man. From his youth he had
loved honesty rather than fraud,
truth rather than falsehood, purity
rather than lust. He was walking
decalogue. He was straight, clean,
respectable, conscientious, sincere, up
right, virtuous, aspiring, loveable, a
pattern of propriety. And when you
consider that with all this he was as
rich as mud, you get pretty exalted
idea of the splendid qualities that
dwelt in the young mans heart. He
represents large type of men who
are found in every community who
o1ao r1vrfnbf racnanfo hla.
who stand outside of the church, and
inquire with sense of personal pride,
"What lack / YETI"
AN INQUIRING YOUNG MAN
But this young fellow, who had the
Ten Commandments buttoned up in
his clothes, was not quite positive
that he was on the right track after
all. He was troubled occasionally
about his future, and now that he
had the opportunity he puts the ques-
ton to the Master; "What lack l
YETI" Now when a man goes to a

POSED AS GIRL
FOR TWENTY-ONE YEARS
Everett True

Charlotte, N. c., Sept. 21.-How
a young man masqueraded as girl
from the time of his birth until he
reached the age of twenty-one years
is the strange tale brought back
from Ocracoke by Charlotte visitors
who have just returned from the
North Carolina island after a sum
mer on the sands.
Vera Williams was the name OF
the girl" Charles E. Williams is
the name of the man.
Williams mother, it is said, had
her heart set on girl baby. When
the boy was born she determined to
dress him as girl and not say any
thing to anybody about it. He dress
ed as girl and he went as a girl
until he reached the age of twenty
one years. During all that time
none of the neighbors entertained
any suspicion but that he was what
he represented himself to be. In
fact, it is said that at various times
several of the young men of the is
land courted him.
When he reached the age of twen-
ty-one, however, Williams decided
that he had had enough of masquer-
aiding. Without saying anything to
anybody about it, he sent off to a
mail order house and bought a COM
plete outfit of mems wearing appa-
1el. When the stuff arrived he con-
cealed it in his room. That night,
after the rest of the family had gone
tc bed, he proceeded to make some
ance. He cut off his hair, and he

cast off the female wardrobe that he
had been wearing for so long.
The next morning when the mail
boat left for Beaufort a young man
got aboard whom no one recognized
in spite of the fact that many of
the passengers had been acquainted
with him, or her, for many years.
From Beaufort he went to Baltimore,
where he succeeded in getting a job
IN a restaurant.
Finally he returned to Ocracoke,
and he's living on the island now.
He's a splendid specimen of young
manhood, and it looks as if he is
going to help the boys court the
girls instead of himself being court
ed by the boys. Those who former
" knew him cannot help but won
der how it happened that they had
rever had any suspicion concerning
him before.

The growing demand. for good roads
able discussion as TO the cheapest and
most durable types of pavement.
Statistics show that for hard surfac ced
roads the asphaltic types are in great
est general use. The popularity Of
these types, especially those of the
sheet asphalt, the asphaltic concrete
and asphaluc macadam, is due to their
long wearing qualities, resiliency
against traffic impact, dustlessness,
noiselessness, cleanliness and low cost
OF upkeep., Brick and concrete roads
have also developed, as have the
wooden block and granite block types
The most recent available figures give
4211 per cent Of the surfaced roads in
the United States as being Of gravel,
1922 per cent as macadam, 17.16 per
cent sand-clay, 1923 per cent asphalt
and other bituminous materials, 391
per cent concrete and O.62 per cent
brick. The figures for the asphaltic
and brick types,-a total Of 1858 per
cent show the extent to which city
types Of pavement have been adopted
in the rural districts.
The types most favored IN the cities
not only for paved streets but for I'm
proved roads, included not only the
asphaltic types but those of brick and
macadam. Brick is highly desirable
but more costly than some types.
Macadam is satisfactory type when
combined with an asphalt binder which
makes the road dustless and prevents
ravelling. 1t costs but little more than
the old type of macadam since the cost
of sprfnkHng with water is eliminated.
Portland cement concrete is not re-
silent but it forms an excellent foun-
dation for the resilient surfaces. When
used with an asphalt filler brick is
semi-resilient. Asphalt surfaces have
an average life ranging from 20 to 25
years and foundations, e thus pro-
tected, should last not less than thirty
years. When a foundation is covered
with shock absorbing surface, that

CAMP PAlCN FOR CONSERVATION
 OF WILD BIRDS
Nation-Wide Drive to Pre- vent the Murdering of Americas Best Farmer Friends.
tFrnm Thursdays Daily Press

tFrnm Thursdays Daily Press
 Med Donaldson is deyoting time and attention to the promotion of
 .'The Bird Sanctuary Campaign, 3 nation wide scheme that was some time ago put into action by the Peoples Home Journal of New York The plan is to strive to conserve the birds of the nation that they may contribute their natural modes of living to the welfare of the people by destroying vast quantities of insects and other pests that other wise would destroy crops, cause the development of plaques and the like. He is distributing a pledge entitled: "A Pledge to Protect the Wild Birds of America.'' The paper is presented to land owners and others to sign, inviting them to be- come members of the organization known as The Green Meadow Club.'
 As all illustration of the value of the plan, the American quail is cited as one of the many examples why birds should be protected. The literature says of that bird so freely slaughtered by hunters "The quail (Bob White) is one of the most useful of our insect eating birds; it consumes enormous quantities of weed seeds, including all the worst weed pests of the farm. A coyey of quail is worth many hundreds of dollars every season for grain protection"
 The long list of birds named in the literature inviting memberships to "The Green Meadow Club shows that birds are truly the best friend the farmer has; to him and his descendants they mean better crops, better health and greater happiness.

OIL INSPECTION TAX WILL BE
 DISCONTINUED
Chancellor Martineau to Enjoin State Depart ment Following Agree ment.

Little Rock, Aug 4.-Following the precedents of the United States District Court in it's recent deci- sions in Fort Smith, Chancellor Mar tineau today will enjoin the state Oil Inspection Department from it's collection of inspection taxes of one- eighth of a cent per gallon for oil and gasoline, according to state officials who have agreed to the in junction.
 The petition for injunction was filed by the Bear, State Oil Company granted in the federal courts had been asked by the Texas, Pierce. Magnolia and other foreign oil com panies operating in Arkansas. The ground upon which the Bear State, as we'll as the Pierce, Texas and Magnolia, companies had sought the injunction was that while the law creating the Oil and Gas Inspection Department and fixing the inspec- tion tax and intended giving to the state only the police powers of in spectiOn, the amount of tax author ized had resulted in collections above the cost of the inspection contrary to the national constitution. It was shown that the tax yield from in- spections last year produced ap- proximately three times the amount of money required to maintain the pose the injunction, it was said yesterday, and the inspections for the remainder of the biennium will be made tax free. At the next session of the legislature it is prob able, state officials said, that a measure will be enacted which will reduce the inspection fee to an amount which will yield only suf- ficient revenue to support the de- partment. The injunctioiis, while applying specifically to the com panies which sought them will be held to apply generally, it was said and will have the effect of re Istraining the collection of the tax from any company in the state.
