BUSINESS AT THE OLD STAND


John Bull is still jeolous of his
financial credit. The Chancellor of
the EXcheQuer announces that Eng
land expects to pay her debt to the
United States. For that purpose
about s250.0OO,00e will be ear
marked in the next budget This,
of course, is only in line with the
policy which the English have found
it wise to pursue for many genera
tionS. A debt of one government to
another is something new, but the
plan is to put it on the same basis
as If 1t were a debt of English mer-
chants. They have learned to feel
that they will gain more by being
scrupulously loyal to their obliga-
tons than they would by failing to
pay 1t is true that the former
Chancellor of the Exchequer said
that England would be favorable to
general cancellation of interallied
war debts but if that is not feasible,
the English stand ready to pay what
they owe. There has never been
any doubt of that.
In line with this clinging to an
old and honorable tradition is the
steadfast ways in which those respon-
sfble for the conduct of English pub
Tic finance have refused to run after
crazy notions. AS the Prime Minis
ter declared in his GuildhalI speech.
they would not consent to debase the
currency. They would have nothing
to do with the method of meeting
deficits by printing money on gov
eminent presses The gold stand
ard has been guarded. Liquidation
has been enforced Heavy taxes
have been aid to enable the Treas
ury to make both ends meet. The
costs OF production have resolutely
been cut down. The result is that
England, which also had an artificial
BOOM" Debated it more RAPIDLY
and is recovering from it sooner
than other countries.
In word, England has held on to
ancient and tested principles of
finance. She is now reaping the bene-
fft and preparing to do business at
the old stand.-New York Times.

MRS. GEORGE JAY GOULD
DROPPED DEAD.

Lakewood, N. j., Nov. 13.- Mrs.
George Jay Gould. wife of the capital
list, dropped dead today while play
ing golf with her husband -on the
private links at Georgian court, their
country home.
She has just finished drive at the
fifth tee and with her husband was
watching the flight of the ball when
she collapsed without word. Mr..
Gould turned to speak to her and was
astonished to see her lying across the
tee Thinking his wife merely had
stumbled, Mr. Gould fastened to as
sist her to her feet, but when she
failed to speak to him, he sent the
caddie on a hurry call for physicians.
Doctors George w. Lawrence and
Irwin R. Hance reached the links
quickly A brief examination convinc-
ed them that Mrs. Gould was dead
and that heart disease had been the
cause.
Mrs. Gould appeared to be in ex-
celelnt health when she walked to the
links with her husband few minutes
before noon She showed no traces of
exhaustion and chated with her hus-
band as they progressed to the fifth
hole. Evidently Mrs. Gould had over
xerted herself and had made no men,
ton of it to Mr.. Gould.

COSTS money. Ine life OF the stone
cased grade is until it is destroyed
by earthquake, volcanic eruption or
flood The base should last just as
long. There is no reason why the
greater part of the road fabric North
Carolina is no/ constructing should
not be in existence a thousand years
hence. Base may deteriorate on ac-
count of the character of the sub
base or improper construction, or
lack of care. Base may be destroy
ed if subjected to a weight of traffic
support. But on soils of average
quality, with proper location, honest
construction and reasonable care,
the stone that is being laid on roads
today will be as durable as that the
Romans laid in their time, before
the Christian era.
No generaliza ton can be safely
laid down as to TIE top, or wearing
surface. Neglected, it will eventual
ly wear out entirely, and the same
neglect may cause serious deteriora-
ton of the base. 1t is not unreason-
able to suppose that system is be-
ing evolved, on certain types of
roads, whereby maintenance and re-
construction will become one process,
the top will never be permitted to
wear out, and the road will be kept
in about the same condition from
year to year. without ever being re
built Yet the cost of maintenance,
amount to considerable sum, as
much as it would cost to top a road
About these things even expe-
rienced engineers cannot speak with
confidence. Guilford county has had
considerable experience with one
type of road, as experience goes in
modern road building and mainten-
ance; and the tentative conclusion
is warranted that the cost of main
tenance is not excessive, as compared
to buildig costs. Most of the counz
ties have had enough experience to
learn that the cost to keep the cheap
er types of roads up to par quality is
large, compared to the cost of build
ing.
Considering what must be done to
the wearing surface-call it rebuild :
ing Or maintenance-there is an i'm
portal content of truth in the state
ment that the roads will not last for
ever. Assuming that money is
worth what it costs, which is true
when it is 'profitably invested, the
policy of issuing bonds. and never
paying the principal-paying for the
use of the money regularly every
year; reborrowing it every day in
fact, and paying the lender his hire
at nightfall-is plausible enough But
the Notwithstanding concern
will sooner Or later have to confront
the question of what effect such a
policy will have on the cost of it's
ment of credit means-as long as
the individual, corporation, city or
state has any credit at all-it means
increasing difficulty of borrowing
money. and consequent increase CO

EXPECT RESULTS FROM CLUBS
Organizations Formed In Alabama to
Beautiful Sections Are Hailed
With Much Enthusiasm.

The beautiful mile" idea, we un-
derstand, originated in the mind of
Billie Maltby, the manager of the
club, who is actively engaged in work
ing out the details of the club. In
our opinion he has conceived an idea
which is going to result in great good
in the building of better roads, better
homes, and the making Of a better cit
izenship. The idea lis taking root in
other sections, and we would not be
surprised to see beautiful mile"
clubs organized all over Alabama with
In the next IL months. The idea will
be carried into the towns and cities
and beautiful street. clubs will be
organized. Everybody will want to
live on beautiful mile" road or a
beautiful street" And. in the lam
guage Of the Birmingham News, Billie
Maltby has started something which
is going to keep the eyes of the public,
on the original beautiful mile" club.
They are going to see what it does
and how 1t does 1t. Here's hoping
that they come up to the full expec-
tations Of those who are looking on.--

LISTED
AS PRODUCER OF
B|TUM|NOUS COAL

Audrain County was listed as one
of the large bituminous coal produc-
ing counties in the State in a bulletin
issued recently at jefferson City.
Galloway county is listed as one of the
counties where deposits of channel
coal are found. Missouri channel coal
contains more than 6 per cent hydro
gen and. gas generated from it has an
Illuminating power of more than
twenty candles. Misouris bituminous
coal contains less than per cent
hydogen and its gas has a candle
powerof seventeen. Channel ignites
more easily than bituminous.
While figures for the local coal
output of Missouri are still incom-
plete, indications are that it will be
banner year for coal production of
the state for a period of forty years.
The output is approximated at $780,
900 tons. The next best year was
1917 when 5,670,000 tons were pro-
duced.
In a period Of seven years Missouri
has had only eighty-seven fatalities
among approximately $500 coal mine
workers, who were working either un-
derground, in shafts or on the sur
face, announces a bulletin Of
Labor Statistics. The bulletin also
states that this is very favorable
record. Fatalities were more numer-
GUS among mine workers in 1914 than
any other years of this period, with
