The Man Behind You


AJpnH AolahC Al NhNGAtl ANN"sf
II is foolish to hold out your hands
in order to block the path of the man
behind you. II ne is worth his salt
he is going to get where you are to-
day. He wants your job, or one just
as good; and contrive as you will.
you will not keep him out of ii pro-
vided he has the right stuff in him,
II he hasn't, some man with the
right stuff will soon step into his
place and then you will be confronted
with the same old problem.
There is a man behind every per-
son who starts on the upward road,
and many of these men behind are
going to be men ahead before long.
II YOU try 10 block their road they
will slip into your place sooner or
later, and there will be not place for
you TO 30 but back toward the rear.
Denying a man an opportunity to
learn the duties OF your job will not
keep him out OF that opportunity
forever. The old time carpenter or
plumber who used TO work in cor
ner so that apprentices could not
"steal his trade never dampened
the ardor OF any intelligent appren-
tces. They not only stole the trade,
nut they very frequently took the
paying practice OF 1t away from the
men who had sought TO hide IL from
them.
There is just one way to deal with
the man behind that Is safe for you
and fair to him. That is TO keep
moving mp so that he may step into
your place when you leave II. II you
are as talented as you probably be-
lieve you are you will some day
come to a place which he cannot
gain Then you need not worry about
him any more.
But as long as he is moving up
you will have to move up too. or you
will begin to move down. There Is
room on one level for one man only.
You must figure that the man be-
hind is just as ambitious as you are.
II he is also just as intelligent and
just as industrious you may try as
hard as you can to keep him from
slipping into your position, but all
without avail.
Every man desires 10 go forward.
II Is fortunate for the really ambitl-
GUS hat so few of them have the
enere" 20 keep at It. But 1t will al
ways happen, in the one procession
of which you have a part, that sooner

Progress Bathed in Blood
NFrom the Raleigh Tlmesl

VF'rom the Raleigh Times
II is evident that mans conquest
or the air has not been completed.
The explosion of the big airship and
the resultant death of thirty -odd Of
ficers and enlisted men Of the Unit
cd states Army clearly shows that
the derigible has not ben 50 project
ed rs 10 be even comparatively
safe means of travel
Investigation will prove, ii il
proves anything, that some princi-
pies OF mechanics was improperly ap-
piled And this in turn proves moth
ing save mans infallibility
II is the pioneers in every age who
furnish the impetus to world pro-
Gress We have no idea that the ma
jority of those who met death in
the Roma gave any great amount of
thought to the risk they were taxi
ing. The trial flight was all in the
days work. But the hopeful thing
about such disasters is that they
never seem to weaken mans conf
dence in his power of achievement,
Next week or the week thereafter a
dirigible, II we had one left, not a
whit safer than was the Roma,
would be manned as cheerfully as
was the death ship.
Progress being the result Of mo-
mentum acquired by humanity on the
hoof is hard on the individuals who
get in front OF 1t and stay too long,
but, paraphrasing. the blood of pio-
neers is the seed OF civilization.
Lives brought to an end in such
disasters as that which overlook the
Roma are neither lost or thrown
away; they count for more in the
great sum total than the lives OF
thousands for whom pestilence has

Try one must have his chickens class
flied, breeds and varieties according
TO their origin, color. size and shape,
Some of the popular breeds OF chick
ems are Plymouth Rocks. Buff Orp-
ingtons. Rhode Island Reds. and
Leghorns. The chickens are elassi-
fled as, meat breeds. egg breeds and
brooders, and mature late. Chickens
belonging to the meat breed class are
very large, poor laying qualities. and
have very slow movements. are good
breeders. and mature lots. Chickens
belonging TO the laying class are very
small and active. Mature early and
are not good brooders and are sensi-
tive to the cold-such as the Leg
horns and Minarcas. The general
purpose fowls are for example, the
Rhode Island Reds, Bun Orpingtons
and Plymouth Rocks. They are good
table fowls and are also good brood
ers. They are more active than the
meat fowls.
Chickens cannot thrive on wet
land. They must be free from mud
dy ranges. Much care should be
taken in securing a dry range for
them. Chickens should have plenty
OF exercise and should always have
plenty of water. butter milk. oyster
shells and feed. They should not
be fed in a hap hazard way but
should have regular feeding troughs
or pans where feed is always kept
before them Egg layers should be
fed a mixed diet Of animal food,
green matter and grain. They should
be supplied with all the mineral mat
ters that compose the egg shell. Corn

VANDEVORT AND
MOFF|TT CLASH

Councilman H. H. Vandervort
Ralph Thompson, chairman of the
police committee Of the council
and Chief of Police Moffitt were
the principals in a rather warm
argument at council meeting Mon
day night when Mr.. Vandevort ac-
cused the police Of discrimination
in the matter of handling law vio-
lators and declared that, If the
police committee were unable to
handle the police, new commit
tee should be named.
Replying for the committee, Mr..
Thompson declared that the body
Of which he Is chairman has very
little power over the police de-
partment and added that he was
tired of having charges thrown
toward him.
Mr.. Vandevort had accused the
police of allowing a Salem man to
go free when he appeared to be
under the influence Of liquor, and
had declared that favortism had
been shown. In replying Chief
Moffitt intimated that Mr.. Vande-
wort s charges were the result of
misinformation The man whom
Mr.. VandevQrt had believed drunk,
he said, was merely dazed from an
accident in which he had figured.
An investigation at the scene of
the accident was made immedi-
ately, Moffitt said. by him and
Patrolman White, but they were
unable to find any indication that
booze had ben in the car or on its
driver. Consequently, he said, no
charge was filed against the man.

laughter for thirty minues, follow
ed by the stirring address by j. C.
Herbson, lecturer and leader for

Mr.. Herbson used for his topic,

the only way to reach the top of
the ladder is first work; second,
work, work; third, work, WORK,
work"
In the evening the Platt-Stone
duo preceded the speaker of the
evening, DR.. Elmer Lynn Will
liams, in thirty minutes of laugh
ter provoking jokes and readings
interspersed with some novelty
music stunts. The most interest
ing of the musical stunts was the
clamping OF an ordinary saw to
table and by means of the violin
bow playing a solo. Mr.. Stone
also rendered a solo on a one
stringed instrument resembling a
violin but made from a cigar box
1.-THE Big Came" the topic OF
Mr.. Williams address, was a re-
view of what he has done In the
line of helping clean up certain
districts of Chicago. His talk was
testimony to what could be done
If a person was willing to fight
tor right even against odds. He
also recited many of the amusing
incidents connected with his
work. Mr.. Williams, as pastor of
the Grace Methodist church of
Chicago, has earned for himself
the name, 'The Fighting Parson."

DOCKET
HELD OPEN TO
HALL CONTEST
Judge Bingham Advised
Suit May Be Filed Here
Today or Thursday, But
Report Doubted.

Declaring that he had been in
formed that Charles Hall, defeat
ed candidate for the republican
gubernatorial nomination in the
state primary election of June 10,
would file his contest against the
nomination of Ben w. Olcott in
the circuit court here today or
tomorrow, Judge George G. Bing-
ham announced from the bench
this morning that he would leave
the court docket as open as pos
sible to allow an early hearing OF
the contest.
Judge Bingham declared that,
should the expected contest act
ion be filed here within the spec
flied 20 day limitation period
fixed by statute, he would give
the case precedence over all 9TH
ers on the docket. The time limit
in which to file a contest pro-
ceeding expires Thursday.
Locally it is thought doubtful
that Hall will contest the nomina-
tion, as any contest filed at this
late date must be prosecuted un-
der the corrupt practices act, by
which 1t would be necessary to
charge and prove his opponent
guilty of fraud in connection
with the election.
The time limit for Hall to ask
recount on the grounds of g
miscount in any or all precincts
expired five days after Governor
Olcott filed his acceptance of the
nomination with the secretary ol
state.
