Says Business Is
Gaining In South

Daniel c.. Roper, secretary of
the department of commerce, at
tending the regular mid-winter
meeting of the Duke university
board Of trustees declared the
South is probably leading the en-
tire country at the present time in
business activity.
A recent trip to Florida gave
the cabinet member a good oppor-
tunity to witness the south's re-
vival in commerce, and he COM
mented especially on the transpor
tation business increased activity.
II am told that more people
have been hauled by the lines into
the south this winter than at any
time since 1925. The general
outlook is good but the south ap-
~.s> to be setting the pace at thu
time" said Secretary Roper.

Man Who
Told This. Was
A Fisherman

Here is a snake story out of the
West that comes to us from Char
les Link of Kelliher, Mimi, and
which we pass on to you. One day
as I was en- route to one of my IA
vorite fishing holes, with a box of
fishing tackle in one hand and a
gallon jug of whisky in the other,
he relates, I noticed a rattlesnake
caught beneath large rock.
Like the good Samaritan that I
am, l stopped to release the snake,
but not realizing that I meant no
harm, the reptile gave an angry
rattle and bit me on the leg. l
had always heard that whisky was
good for snake bite, so I swung the
jug to my mouth and began plug
ging away at it.
Although I didn't stop until l
had drained it, I felt no effects
from my snake bite cure, but I
noticed that the jug by that time
had swollen to five times its ORR
ginal size from the rattler's poison.
1t wasn't until I set down the
empty jug that / discovered the
snake was so drunk he couldn't let
go of my leg. I pried loose his
fangs and holding him by the head
5andagcd first the wound he had
received from the rock, and then
that which he had given me. Then
! releasd him, picked up my tackle
box, and continued by walk to the
river. l had fished for about an
hour and was almost out of bait
when l felt a tap on the shoulder.
Imagine my surprise when I saw
the RATHER with a frog in his mouth
which he presented to me for use
as bait. When l went home, the
RATHER followed me and we soon
became the best of friends.
1t wasn't long before Herbert
CHATS what I named him) learn
ed to do various useful things
about the house. Just as an ex-
ample, he would lie on the doorstep
and when visitors came he ratified
until I opened the door.
One night I was awakened by
an awful racket in the room where
I kept my valuables. l snatched
up a gun and hurried to the scene
There was Herbert gripping thu
combination on the safe with hi.
fangs, his body tightly coilec
around a burglars legs. and hi
tail OUT the window rafting for the
police.

E. Negro Got Job
Dawson Was After

Chalk up another first" for
North Carolina. This time the
credit of providing another First"
for the state belongs to the color
ed people.
North Carolina is the first state
in the union from which a colored
man was appointed as assistant to
the attorney general Of the United
States under a Democratic admin
stration. The colored gentleman
in questio, is one Robert Lee Vann,
born and reared in Maney's town.
ship, Hartford county, North
Carolina. He is living in Pennsy-
lvania and is a lawyer and editor
of a paper. He was appointed as
special assistant to the attorney
general by President Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
Another interesting feature in
this appointment is the fact that
the negro Vann vas given the ap-
pointment for which the Hon.
John G.. Dawson, of Kinston,
worked so hard to get. Mr.. Daw-
son is former chairman of the State
Democratic Executive committee,
and he is said to have remained in
Washington for three weeks trying
to get the job that was finally
given to the Negro Vann. 1t is
understood here that Mr.. Dawson
and his friends were somewhat put
out and greatly peeved when a IA
tive North Carolina negro won out
over a stalwart like MI. Dawson.

Do you believe in signs? -. ..
There are a number of them in
Salisbury placed there for the
especial benefit and protection of
the motorist, and there are also
many placed for the welfare of the
pedestrian. In the latter class there
is one in particular, at the intersec-
ton of Kerr and Ellis Streets, at
the Frank B. John School, which,
although as large as the top of
bridge table, apparently seems to
be hard to seen on the part of a
number of drivers, who persist in
driving south on this particular
block, while school is being dis
missed. Also it is we'll to remem-
Der that the young lads, with the
white belts,i in the center of the
street are not just playing soldier
but are invested with just as
much authority as a traffic officer
in uniform, while at. that definite
task. So while driving in this vi
entity when the pupils are enter
ing or leaving school, bear this
thought in mind, WE ALL
LOVE OUR CHILDREN.

Defeat Of Silver Amendment

The failure of the silver re- monetization amendment to the dollar devaluation bill was an event to be expected under present conditions, and should cause no feeling of disappoint- ment to supporters of the bi- metallic theory.
 As in the case of the attempt to force the remonetization is- que last year by amendment of an important financial measure the effort to attach a 16-to-1 rider to the Presidents dollar devaluation bill was virtually foredoomed to fail owing to conflict with administrative policies.
 Whatever may be MT. Roose- velt's personal attitude on the silver remonetization question, it was certain that he must op- pose its adoption at this time for the very succinct reason that the United States is al- ready pledged to follow the re- mobilization program adopted at the London Economic Con- ference.
 This program, be it recalled, was instigated by the United States and adopted at our re. quest by 66 of the worlds nations.
 Being thus committed to a definite policy with respect to silver, MT. Roosevelt could not be reasonably expected to acquiesce in an attempt at sil- yer legislation by Congress which would be in radical con- flict with the principles and understandings which We our-' selves proposed at London and solemnly pledged ourselves to follow. Had the effort to force the remonetization issue been successful, Mir. Roosevelt then would have had no option but to impose the veto if we were to avoid the odium of treating cur solemn covenants as Scraps of paper" and appear ing before the world as welch- CTS on our own proposals.
 To us of Hyder, wholly de- pendent as we are upon the re- mobilization of silver for our future communal progress and prosperity, every delay in bringing it about is disappoint- ing; but we may find consider able comfort in the thought that the amendment lacked

NEW YORK, April 16 G.N.SJ.
Cotton futures turned downward
today under the pressure Of pro-

conference report on the Bank
head bill, adopted by the Senate
on Saturday. Losses, comparative
ly small in near months, ran to so
cents a bale in distant options.
Initial dealings brought recess
sion in prices of 2 to 4 points,
which was due partially to weak
ness at Liverpool where equiva-
lents were nearly so cents a bale
below due prices. Trading was
only moderately active at the
opening, but picked up somewhat
toward the end of the first hour.
The conference report on the
Bankhead control measure was a
disturbing factor.

9 points, with May off 5 at 1882;
