 Tt killed him. I'm going to tell Charters what happened"

 T shan't call him until you and Marjorie are out of the house, T interrupted Wave.
 I've got something to say to him. Something that's got to be said If I don't join you within ten minutes don't wait for me

 The heavy fist, crashing upon James's jaw, drove his head against the stone wall. Without groan he sank to the ground.
 You damned dog" whispered Wave, and, not gently, stirred the inanimate form of MT. James with his foot, ere removing the black handkerchief that was tied about his face.
 There was 8 movement within the room; the door was opened.
 What is it?" asked Marjorie.
 Ssh! It's all right" whispered Wave, putting his fingers to his lips, he motioned to her to gc back into the room.
 Its that man!" she said.
 Yes He's tainted"
 Turning to her table, Marjorie caught up the jug of water.
 We can't leave him like this.
 And, kneeling beside the pros trate man. she sprinkled water upon his face asld hands.
 Don't, child,' protested Johy Wave. T hate to see you touch tht reptile. I'll drag him .'
 Get me the glass" said Mar. jorie. I" believe he's dead" With a shrug John Wave fetched the glass of water from Marjorie i bedside-table.
 Pour a little more on his hand and head" she directed. Now rais' him up little" ' Mir. James stirred and opened his eyes, groaned and closed then again.

Swiftly he opened his door and crept into the corridor.
 Stopping low, Wave caught 8 glimpse of the outline of a dark figure between himself and the tall window that framed the star spangled sky. Rising, he crept swiftly in it's direction. It disap- peared. Touching each door as he passed it, he came to one that was ajar. Softly pushing it open, he said
 Come out" and stood aside, his left hand raised and leveled.
 Scarcely had he done so, when the dark figure reappeared between him and the window at the end of the corridor. Instantly beam shone from tiny torch in Waves

 No Punished for murder Come with me His room ."s Charters dashed ahead of Wave up the stairs and threw open the dcor of James's bedroom.
 In a few seconds his profession al eye told him the worst, and, as Wave entered the room, he saw the inscrutable man suddenly burst into tears and heard him with rending sobs, cry aloud: "Ch, Jimmy! My son Oh, Jim my, my son!"

SITUATION SPA|N'S THRONE LOOKS BAD
 RESULT ELECTION
KING ALFONSO HAS THREE POSSIBLE COURSES OF
 ACTION

MADRID, Spain, April 14. R- King Alfonso is considering what action the government will take in the situation which is gravely threatening the throne and which was brought about by the repub- lican victory at the municipal el- ections.
 King Alfonso was to decide at a cabinet meeting whether he will accept the resignations of the three cabinet members which were rendered him.
 Group leaders formally demanded Alfonso recognize the Spanish Re- public. Qualified observers said the King had three possible courses of action; one is to con- tinue ruling the district until the parliamentary election and this will probably lead to a republic; the second is to establish another dictatorship and this will probably mean a general strike and revo- lution or civil war; three, is to abdicate.

WHALES CUT HOG DEMAND

It may sound strange but it is nevertheless true that the growing whale industry is having adverse eff feet upon the demand for hogs. In several foreign tries whale oil is being used for making margarine, there by reducing the market for American lard.
 One large packing company reports that the pro- duction of whale oil has increased 300 per cent in the the last four years and equals one-haf of all the lard produced in the United States This has been due to the discovery of process whereby the fishy taste of whale oil may be removed making it more palatable as human food.
 So another new Alaska industry is in the ofng pro- vidng wants to take chance and who knows "big butter and egg from Alaska" may day be real
 To supply this vast quantity of oil about 3o0oo whales killed last year, each yielding more than 100 barrels average there being 400 pounds of oil to the barrel In modern whaling the animals killed van explosive carried by harpoon fired from gun, and the is reduced to o fertilizer and canned meat by large ship on the spot equipped for the pur pose Whale meat not very desirable for food but account of it's cheapness it is used in Oriental countries and in the Arctic.
 The of whale oil in the United States is confined largely to the manufacture of soap and lubricants being used here for margarine making But in foreign markets the whale is becoming real competitor of the American hog.

A Comment from Raleigh

(The NeUs and Obseruer)
The most important North Carolina
book of the New Year is "A History
of the Public Schools of North Caro-
lima" by DR.. M. G. s. Noble, Dean
of the School of Education of the
University of North Carolina, just is
sued from the University of North
Carolina Press.
DR.. Noble might have said in his
preface but for his modesty, in that
portion of the work dealing with the
most epoch making history of public
education, part of which | was and
am" From his graduation at Chapel
Hill, Dr. Noble has consecrated his
life to public education, and his close
touch with it's other leaders from the
days Of John c. Scarborough emf
nently fits him for writing the true
story Of the greatest educational era
in the history of the Commonwealth.
The leadership of the inspired few,
the inertia of the many, the perennial
clash of personal interest and public
welfare, the inevitable but painfully
slow progress of education in its fight
against ignorance and greed-all are
here made plain in this story Of pub
lie education in North Carolina from
earlier colonial days to 1900, and it
is we'll told by one who has per-
formed yeoman service in the cause
of education. The work covers ter
ritory never before fully explored and
charted, and will constitute lasting
memorial of the noble men of vision
who laid deep and broad the founda-
tons upon which the new educational
structure has been erected.
This volume deals with the history
from the earliest schools in the six
teenth century to 1900. DR.. Noble is
now engaged in history of our pub
lie schools during the period OF 1900
1880 which he hopes to finish at an
early day. The first work, monu-
mental in character, will be received
as the authoritative story uf- public
education in this State, and the sec
ond volume beginning with the in
auguration Of Aycock will deal with
what has been done in our day.

Return on Building and Loan
Shares Was 6.96% Last Year

land on shares withdrawn were
81, ,441.62, making the years
total profits $20,756.92. The
operating expenses - salaries,
taxes, and everything - were
Isl, ,858.O6. The ratio of operat-
ing expenses to profits is consid-
erably lower than in most build
ing and loan associations.
The total net profits account
December 81, 1880, stood at
$25, ,538.39. The total assets
were $2O6,O21.39, divided as fol-
lows: cash on hand S4,311.39; (;
mortgage loans, S29O,195; stock
loans, $6,665; furniture and fix
lures, $3.50; real estate, $4,000.
Last years officers and di-
rectors were Reelected at the
shareholders meeting.
In a brief talk M. E. Hogan,
president of the association, re-
viewed it's operations in 1880.
He said that it ended the year
in excellent condition with all
loans well-secured and with. no
important arrearages in either
dues or interest. The directors
follow the practice of limiting
loans to 60 per cent. of the ap-
praised value of property offered
as security. In every case the
property is appraised by COM
mittee of directors.

The Effect of the Cut

(The NeaUs and Observer pub-
fishes the folloa0ing letter from
T. L. wilson of the faculty of
the State College in Raleigh).
Those who are clamoring for
q reduction in salaries are not
interested in how it will affect
me. Therefore, l shall list be-
low few of the ways in which
it will effect others:
l. The farmer who has been
selling me butter and buttermilk
will not sell me any more. l
shall substitute oleomargarine
for butter, and water for butter
milk.
2. The North Carolina poul-
tryman who has been supplying
me with a chicken almost every
week will have to keep his
chicken. Western beef is much
cheaper.
3. The other North Carolina
poultryman who has kept me
supplied with eggs will get to
keep most Of them. Western
oatmeal, and toast made from
western flour, make a much
cheaper breakfast.
a. My clothier will become
even more distantly acquainted
with me than he already is.
5. The man who has been
waiting to give my house a
much-needed coat of paint will
continue to wait indefinitely. fl
6. Any agent who approaches
my door to sell anything what
soever will need suit of armor
7. My little girl may be COM
PEELED to discontinue her piano
and violin lessons. That will
lessen the buying power of her
music teachers, and will again
hit the farmer, the poultryman,
and the merchant.
8. SO far as | am personally
concerned, those who are in the
business of providing amuse-
ments will be affected not at all.
MY amusement bill is already
nil.
8. Much as | regret it, | shall
have to reduce my subscription
to my church.
10. No one need solicit pen
ny from me for the Community
Chest. | shall be too nearly an
object Of charity myself.
My case is typical.

Back in 1923 lot of dull peo-
Die used to sneer at John Philip

clowning, and said they wouldn't
accomplish anything. But such
people overlook the very impor-
tant truth that effective buffoon-
cry is one of the best ways Of
showing up hypocrisy in it's true
colors. The clowning of Colonel
Hill, indeed, did more than that.
1t not only proved the hypocrisy

it made it possible for people to

Hard times serve to remind las that
habits of thrift and economy in the
management of business and personal
affairs pay in the long run. Those
able to withstand the pressure of
business depression and financial
stringency are those foresighted and
forehanded people who conserved their
resources and laid up money for a
g.
{ainy day when the sailing was
smooth and easy. Many Of US can
practice economy when circumstances
force US to it, but are unable to do
without things we want when we
don't have to do without them.
