the Inspiration and it was due
to, their leadership and splendid
executive ability that both their
home towns have made repu-
tations for the towns themselves
and Tor these two splendid men
who I o 0 k an occasional
chance.
Charlotte today is the first
city in the Carolinas and one of
the most progressive in the en-
tire South. The writer of this
editorial recalls his first trip to
Charlotte, and not so many
years ago, either. 1t was then
an overa3 own village. Soon aft
CT arrival we saw that prince Of
Ministries, Lew Dockstader in the
Academy Of Music at Charlotte.
Lew came on the stage late.
When asked what DELAYED him.

ment stores, 20-story office
building under construction and
everything else one finds in a
metropolis, and all this came
along after Edward Latta gave
them the start and incidentally
made millions for himself.
Speaking Of this man whose
splendid executive ability has
left a monument for himself in
the thousands Of homes he
builded, the High Point Enter
prise says:
The death of f. D. Latta in
Aaheville is noted, Charlotte
pays tribute to his memory as it
should. Despite the fact that Mr..
Latta left an investment of a mil
lion OF so in Asheville's develop
mant, it was Charlotte that had
,ha benefit Of the creative power
of the force that was in him.
Mr. Latta was in the clothing
business some 40 years ago in
Charlotte. Then that city was a
Village, unambtous and depress-
ed Mr.. Latta energized it and per-
hops did more than any other one
man for its promotion. He inspir-

The Bible.
This day | am seventy years OF age, and
my mouth is filled with gladness because God
has fulfilled his promise to me. Born in Cuth-
bert, Ga, at the southwest junction OF Depot
street and the street leading towards the Gem
etery on July 5, 1855; reared in Randolph
county, living in three other counties OF
Georgia and in one county (Barbour) in Ala
bama | have lived through the very best
years that God has given the world since He
created it. Born in competency as to bread
and apparel and home owned by my par
ents | have never lacked food or clothing
and roof to cover me and mine, The good
has so far surpassed the evil in my life that
except by comparison the evil need not be
mentioned. Both father and mother sincere
Christians who rejoiced in being allowed to
live, it is but natural that | learned early God
fearing and humility Hence | could not be a
pessimist, though from an accident at nine
years of age | have gone through life handi-
capped; but none other has suffered because
Of that handicap and | mention it now to en-
courage others to hide from the world their
weaknesses and cheer the world by their
hopefulness The world is good, the best
thing after man that has ever come from the
hand of the Creator, and it gets better every
minute. Don't look for snakes, look for fish;
don't smell jimsons, smell magnolias; don't

State Taxes Increasing.

Among the matters considered by the gov
errors of twenty-one states in recent con-
feence at Poland Springs Me, was reduction
of state taxes According to statistical in
formation presented state taxes have not de-
creased since the world war, but have in
creased quite in contrast to the reduction in
federal taxes. There is prospect Of further
reduction in federal taxes, and this inclines
the governors to the belief that there must
be decrease in state taxes.
But at this conference it was suggested that
one of the methods by which federal taxes
are again to be reduced is by the repeal Of
laws by which states in certain matters
subsidized by the federal government. One Of
these laws relates to federal aid in state road
building. Should this law be among those
repealed it is evident the states would be
compelled to expend more money in road
building. Yet, as the governor OF Massachu-
setts pointed out, the states might expend
more money in road building and less money
in other directions. This governor was OF the
opinion that a great deal Of state money does
not represent very much value to the people.

Losing All Respect for Human Life.
From the PHILADELPHIA Inquirer.

Frghtful and appalling are the only words
that can be used in commenting upon the
latest crime figures. Frederick l.. Hoffman,
statistician and insurance expert, declares that
the annual homicides in this country now
reach 1000 and that the toll for 1924 was
double that of 1900 The situation is worse
than ever, and the tendency seems to be
growing instead OF decreasing.
But what can we expect when one lawyer
who specalzes in the defense OF murderers
boasts that he has saved one hundred culprits
from the gallows? What can we expect when
pardon boards do a land-office business free
ing criminals? What can we expect when
maudlin .sentimentality takes the place OF
stern Justice? What can we expect when re-
spect for the law grows less year by year,
What can we expect when human life is held
in lower regard than at any time since the
foundation of the republic2 What can we eX-
pect when experts puzzle Jurles, and when
hair-splitting interpretations OF the law take
the place of sound common sense? What
can we expect when mere boys are running
wild, without the slightest parental super
vision? What can we expect when nearly
half the criminals in the penitentiary are I'M
der 2l years of age?
We are sorely in need of parents who will
make their children toe the mark We are
equally in need OF police who will do their
work without fear or favor. We need juries
that will convict when the evidence is con-
elusive, and we need more judges bravely to
face the crisis which confronts us.
Every case must stand on its own merits,
of course, but surely some drastic means
must be taken to remove this murder re-
proach from a nation that pretends to be
civilized

Don't Sell Georgia Short.
Prom the Atlanta Georgian.

The Dawson News says: The chaps who
are waiting for Georgia land to get cheaper
before they buy some OF it will have long
time to wait, As matter of fact land values
have turned the corner and are on their way
back. With cheap money and good crop
year there is every reason to expect decid-
ed advance in the selling price OF land.
The Dawson News is right Real estate
values in Georgia at present really are low;
but they are not going to be any lower. Real
estate doubtless is cheaper in Atlanta today
than it ever will be again. And the Georgian
thinks that is true of all Georgia.
This is bad day in Georgia for the pessi-
mists, the winners and complainers. The man
who sells Georgia short just now is "a fool
for the want OF sense"

Dangers of a Surplus.
From the Baltimore Sun.

In answer to a criticism that il his sugges-
ton OF the extent to which taxes ought to
be cut were followed a deficit would result
Garter Glass, former secretary of the treasury,
was quoted as saying that he did not know
any worse curse to a country than a surplus.
The rejoinder seems apropos in view OF
Washington dispatches which report that the
publicity recently given the unexpectedly
large surplus for the last fiscal year has al
ready whetted the appetite OF congress for
pork" Various seductive schemes for spend
ing money are advanced.
Secretary Mellon has taken good care that
congress will not get its hands on the sur
plus for the fiscal year just ended He has
applied it properly on the national debt, and
as that still amounts to more than $2000O-
100000 the treasury is in no sense troubled
about what to do with unanticipated wind
falls.
Our debt charge is over 81 200,000,000 a
year, annual interest charges alone being
more than $800000000, SO that talk OF. en-
barking on another spending orgy is out Of
place Indeed there is occasion for some APP
prehension lest the treasury departments too
conservative estimates of revenues will lead
congress to believe that it is deliberately I'M
derestimating them, inducing to free outlay
whether treasury figures justify it or not.

The Fig Crop Profitable.
From the Athens Banner.

Figs grown in abundance can be made one
of the chief industries in this section. A farm
er near Commerce has made out OF his hg
crop this year more than he received from his
cotton crop last year. The price OF figs is SO
the bushel and the markets demanding
the entire output of the state. Figs are not
an expensive crop to grow-no boil weevil or
other insects to fight; only the ordinary prun-
ing and care of trees is required to grow a
crop of this most delicious fruit. The Com
merce News, in commenting on the crop of
one farmer in that section, says:
"A gentleman in this town is selling figs at
SO per bushel. He ships them to Atlanta and
bills of sale and checks covering the same
show that the figs bring 80 cents per quart.
That is above nine dollars per bushel. Figs
may, and doubtless do have enemies but the
boil weevl is not one of them. The greatest
enemy of the fig in this section is the hard
winter But when figs sell at the price desig-
mated it might be worth while to consider
the fig as a ready money crop Like the
peach, it comes in mighty handy at time
when we have but little to sell for ready cash
At the sale price being received twelve bush
els of figs are as valuable as bale of cotton
1t requires much less expense to grow them
than cotton"
