Oil Stoves a Menace

Two of the fires in Penns Grote
this week, and the most disastrous,
were caused by defective oil stoves.
They caused a loss of over $500
and nearly cost the lives of Minor
Foulk, his wife and two children.
Too much care cannot be eXercis 4
with these stoves. They are danger
Gus when in good condition and IN
absolute menace to a community
when out of order. If left alone for
any length Of time the fame is ait
to increase, and becoming overheated,
a fire results. Fire Chief Johns n
calls the attention of all users of su h
heating facilities to their danger.
They should never be left alone for
any length of time and should be
kept perfectly clean and in perfect
repair. It would be well to heed this
warning.

THE PRESS AND THE PUBLIC

"In the formation of public opinion there is no more powerful agency than the press. The Bible of democ- racy for most people, is the news paper. It is the book out of which they get their facts and determine their course of action, whether they admit it or not With most people it is the only book they read every day in teh year. u sis clear that in 2 country where public opinion is so decisive, nothing that counts in the creation of public opinion, can be ignored. Men must have something on which to depend for information. They will obtain information and act upon it, whether it is true or not. It is impossible for men and women to get their information frst-hand. The world about us is so complicated that our powers of thinking and under standing are overwhelmed by the data available. What we think we know about the purposes of government aspirations of office seekers, and the rivalry of different classes, we get second, third and fourth hand. As long as this is true, we are mentally, not free men, but abject and pitiful slaves, covering beneath the lash of political manipulators and dogma lists. When we get as much moral courage and independence as the "yaller dawg" that trots at the heels of negro 'possum hunter, we will begin to look into the source of our information and seek a possible rem edy."-Candid Opinion.

BANKERS TO AID
 COTTON EXPORT
Meyer Says New YOrk's Bank CTS Have Promised Assistance
 European Countries May Be
 Given Time to Make Payment

New York, May 9-Cooperation in financing cotton exportation was promised by important New York bankers at a meeting today with the committee of southern bankers and cotton exporters, Eugene Meyer, man. aging director of the war finance cor poration, declared in a statement to- night. The committee was formed at Atlanta recently under the auspices of the Federal International Banking Company.
 'The committee discussed at length, said MT. Meyer, "the details of the plan for making effective the offer of the war finance corporation to make advances on cotton under contract for export in future months. 1t was ex- pected that very considerable ad vances to exporters or to banks that are financing exporters would be ] made available from the war finance corporation under this arrangement, with corresponding relief to southern spot markets and southern banking institutions.
 "The committee also discussed the question of sales on credit to Euro pean countries in order that they may be able to purchase additional amounts of American products over and above what they are now able ] to buy for cash. In this question the , meeting had the benefit of consulta- tion with important New York bank CTS specializing in foreign trade. As surances of strong cooperation were given by the New York representa- tives present at the meeting. No for mai plan of syndicate cooperation was adopted or considered necessary, 1 but it was agreed that this co-opera- tion will be forthcoming when con- crete export propositions are ready for consideration.

It is not the usual thing for a lawyer to take text when he pleads case before a jury Yet that is what happened last week in a Little Rock court, when a case was on trial in which a preacher was the plaintiff. His attorney, in making his argu- ment, took for his text Acts 5:38-29, which reads as follows:
 And now l say unto you, refrain from these men and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
 But if it be of God, yet cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God"
