By Tho Associated Press.
 New York, July 20--Is the irdi- vidual as great or greater than the organization in sport? Can any athlete occupy a position which challenges the governing authority of the game-and get away with it?
 The innocent by-stander may not see anything perplexing in either of these queries, The answer, he may say, is negative in both cases, point ing to the generally accepted axiom of sports, that the individual must always be subordinate 10 the whole Hut before the echoes Of the raven E chorus have died away altogether it may be well 10 recall a few pcrti- nont cases

Honorable practice Is practical business it breeds happiness and happiness de- velops efficiency to the highest de- gree.

NUMBER FIVE
Deep Gap Cash
Store is Burglarized
A. G. Miller is Heavy Loser When
Unknown Autoists Help Themsel-
YES to Contents of Store.

Mr.. D. L. Wellborn of Stony Fork
was business caller at our shop yes
terday and while here told of a very
high-handed robbery occurring at the
Deep Gap Tuesday night. Some party
or parties he said entered the store
of Mr.. A. G. Miller, with the aid of
jimmy, at a rear window, and
then from the inside it was dead easy
to open the front door, where they
loaded their car with such of the va
rlety of goods as they wanted and
made away, the proprietor knowing
nothing of his loss until Wednesday
morning. Practically all of the mems
clothing, bolts of silks and other fine
fabrics, sixteen or seventeen auto
castings, together with a good bit of
money from a cash drawer being am
ong the things missing.
Mr.. Miller has not estimated the
loss, nor can he at present, but it is
several hundred dollars. He did say
however that all the merchandise miss
ing could not have been loaded in
a Ford and that the light-fingered
gentry were either plotting a truck
or some heavy make of auto.

Raleigh, Feb. 2.-The house COM
wittee on roads tonight voted unani-
mously to report favorably the bill
introduced by Representatives Tur-
iington and Moore providing for the
issuance of twenty million dollars in
highway bonds to be financed by an
enabling act now in the course of
preparation, which will provide a tax
of four cents per gallon on gasoline
in the place of three as at present,
and further for sinking fund of
$500,000 year to retire the bonds
Also the enabling or financing act
will provide that over 100000 avail
able be used in road construction.
The Bowie bill will be reported un-
favorably.
The principal address before the
committee tonight was that of Mr.
Bowie, introducer of the $35,000,-
600 bill He said he yielded to the
change having been assured by the
governor that if the credit of the
state is now strained the executive
will recommend an additional $780,
100000 two years from now. Further
he said the governor had assured him
that in addition to the twenty million
dollars proposed in the burlington
Moore bill, the sum of approximate
ly $11 100000 would be available for
the next bienna, derived from fed
eral aid and the unused portion of
bonds already authorized.
Mr.. Bowie said he did not want
to be understood as having been
working in opposition to the Gov
ernor at any time; that, all along,
it had only been aE hon est differ
ence of opinio, and that after
comforting with the governor, he
was willing to yield to the situation.
A bill similar to that introduced
in the house today by burlington and
Moore was introduced in the Senate.
A compromise also is expected in the
upper branch, where it is said the
$20,00O,O00 bill will be favorably re-
ported.
