In his opening speech in the
general election campaign Prem
ier Bonar Law says that 1t IS
his belief that the British Nation
"needs rest and tranquility
and that "his policy will be a
negative one" in that sense.
That is a bad beginning against
the aggressive fighting spirit
Of deposed Lloyd George. Neg
ative tactics never win in any
fight and does not appeal to the
people Of any nation, particular

Other towns in the county are

we must show them beyond

LACK OF ENTHUSIASM

Armistice Day, which is des-
tined, through the efforts of
committees from the American
Legion and the Chamber of
Commerce, to be the biggest day
in the history of Scotland Neck,
in fact, Of this whole section, IS
drawing near, and we cannot bno
help feeling that people general

spirit of the occasion.
Through the efforts Of these
committees everything is being
done to make the occasion a sue

but this success is not going to
be complete unless there is d
real gala spirit on the part Of
our own citizens generally. Tha-
we must have. Every single in
div2dual must appoint himself
a committee Of one to welcome
our guests on that day and b

intend to execute. This you havs had.
 You wanted peace. The com meroial interests of the country de- pended upon peace, and we made peace, without sacrificing our inter- ests or detracting from the interests of these with whom we had been associated in the war.
 We have given the best of our cooperation. In the Far East there Is new atmosphere of mutual re- spect and confidence instead of sus- picion and apprehension. We have stopped the competition in naval armament. bringing the great powers together in the happuest cooperation that has taken place since the war In Latin America we have been con- stantly endeavoring to facilitate stability and peaceful adjustments. In almost every country American money Is being invested to help pro- ductive enterprise.
 Thus we are putting our house in crder, reducing expenses, stopping wasteful outlays. maintaing sound principles of international inter- courses"

THE EMERGENCY HOSPITAL
THE MAIL MAN

THE EMERGENCY HOSPITAL The clang of gong Awakes the city's streets, And loungers stand All opened -mouthed in wonder As pell-mell down the roaring lanes Of busy traffic The police patrol takes right of way And stops to lift huddled heap Of wounded human flesh and blood From off the busy thoroughfare. Then with clangin. headlong dash, Makes for that port of luokless men, The old Receiving Hospital And soon upon white-clad table They strech him out, And while they patch his broken
 bones. Hue. bulging cops, behemoth-
 brained, Push back their caps In mood blase. And pose to make a hit With pretty nurse bending low To staunch the flow of life blood. For some men harden with the years. And with the scenes that they must
 view; But there Is one who hardens not Within that place of pain and woe. For he has still a woman's heart, And human sympathy. And many years have dropped be-
 hind
 Since he came there. And he has seen an army brought There in distress. His sympathetic eyes have scanned The broken bodies of the rich. Brought down with one feli swoop
 of fate; The woman of the street who sought
 to end 1t all. The tramp, the drunk, the down and
 out All-all received tho self-same care. And in his shadowed eyes I saw The glow of sympathy; And little children of the poor Come there and hold up shaking
 hands To have him put plaster on Some fancied injury, And get the smile he gives to all-- Receive a pat upon tho cheek, And answer back with baby smile, And lisp a sweet good-by. And well 1t is that man can live A life like this And be not spoiled, And in the end, with duty done, To have them say: Here lies a man, kindly man, Who dried a million Bitter tears.

RATE HEARING IS
 HELDBY WAGNER
Mississippi Traffic Men Tes- tify Before Interstate Com
 merce Examiner
By Associated Press

New Orleans, October 31.--The en- tire structure of the state of Mis- sissippi would be disrupted by the proposed changes in c1assifica tions and establishments of freight rates in the southeast, Mississippi traffic men testified at today's session of the southeastern rate case hearing before Examiner H. J. Wagner of the inter state commerce commission.
 n P. Goodwin of Jackson and c. ". Hayward of Meridian, represent ing Chambers of Commerce of the two cities. advanced the claim that Mississippi should enjoy a low level of rates to bring about development of its agricultural interests, and sub mttted exhibits to show the new rates under the proposed changes advanced by the carriers would be from 40 to 260 per cent higher on a number of comm odfties.
 H. R. Brasher, assistant manager of thes St. Louis Chamber of Commerce. vigorously attacked the proposed 30- oeut dffferential, which would be im- posed on St Louis over Ohio river points to the southeast. He insisted St Louts should have only 15-cent diffcrentaal if the Ohio river cross ings were penaiized Is cents over St. Loufss to Mississippi valley points
 Water Transportation
 The question of water transporta- ton and its effect on the rate struc- ture was brought by Charles J. Rixey, general commercial counsel of the Southern railway, Tn his cross exam tnatkon of the witness. Mir. Rixey took exception to some of the state nlents regarding the rates from St. Louis to Georgia and other south esAstern points as compared with rates from New York. and pointed out the Yatl rates from the east were based on the joint rail and water rates.
 He wanted to know if St. Louis hadva joint rail and water rate to such points as Columbus, Ga.
 'WsA ought to have" replied Mir Braslaer but the southeastern car riers won't make joint rate with the Mississippi barge line"
 E. g. Thomas and K. K. Keas, traf- flo managers of St. Louis industrial concerns, testified to the alleged dis crimfnations in the proposed changes which would keep their companies out of part of the southeastern freight territory.

state and representatives of Theo Lacy, and reference is made to the brief of John s. riley. as well as to the file for full detail. Without dis cussing at length the difference as to this agreement between the rep resentatives of the state and the rep resentatives of Theo Lacy, 1t stands out clearly In the minds of the board that Theo Lacy voluntarily surren- dered himself to the authorities under the assurance that he would be prosecuted in only one case.
 The majority of the Board Is im- pressed by the fact that urged by Judge Mayfield, that it Is not the intent of the law that where a man embezzles state funds that the case against him should be split up into several actions and to use this as a means of giving him more sentences than the law provides. In this case we do not feel that the petitioner should be punished further in the second case. or Frank case, especial ly in view of the fact that he sur rendered himself to the state author ities with the honest belief that he would be prosecuted in only one ease. Had the petitioner been prose- cuted in one case only and given the extreme sentence of ten years, he would by reason of his exceptionally good conduct in prison, have been a free man more than year ago.
 Tt is generally admitted by all prison officials under whom the pri- soner has served, that he made a very exceptional record. and has per- formed long and faithful service for the state. All of these officials earnestly recommend that clemency be shown the prisoner. In view of this long and faithful service. to- gether with the facts and circum- stances herein above set out. the majority of the board are of the opinion that all the nds of Justice have been met and that the law in this case is vim dicated. and recommends that a pa- role be granted Theo Lacy condi- tfoned upon his future good conduct and strict observance of the law"
