TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS

Typographical errors are the bane
of the existence of every newspaper
man Tor woman). Lucky is that one
who reads his paper after it has come
from the press to find that an issue
has been published in which there
are no errors. If there is anything
which causes one to want to murder
the whole force it is to find that his
favorite article has been messed up"
through the dropping of lire or the
displacement of letter. But come to
think of it there are less errors in
newspapers than almost any line of
work considering the number Of oper-
atoms through which news must pass
before it is passed on the public. If
a reporter happens to write down the
word Sillie when the one 'phoning in
the news says Billie, it is just too
bad, and after he has collected his
news there are about 100000 chances,
a newspaper man has figured out, for
human errors in single newspaper
page and like number Of mechanical
errors before the job is complete.
Take the front page of the average
and figure there are one-quarter of
million separate operations before
the copy is converted into newspaper
form. Count the number Of errors and.
divide into quarter of a million and
you have the number of errors or the
ration for each operation.
Lucky is the newspaper person who
can get paper through the press
without an error.

1908 1885

After q dry years in North Caro-.
lima, legal liquor is being sold in sew.
eral counties. AS authorized in a re.
cent county referendum held under
act Of the 1885 General Assembly, the
first legal liquor sale was made in
Wilson little over week ago and
the sales for the day were reported to
amount to more than $1,000 with 1925
individual bottles sold.
In 1908, by a majority of $4,000
male votes-women not being eligible
to vote then-a statewide prohibition
against the manufacture and sale of
liquor was adopted and the Legisla-
ture passed the bone dry burlington
act year later.
During the past two years, states
to the.>right of us and to the left of
US have voted for legal liquor. TWAS
hard enough, and almost impossible,
to keep dry state with wet sister
states. AS it is now, the Legislature
could have thought of no more en-
tangling mix-up than to allow some
counties within a mother state to be
wet while others tried to remain dry.
Older people tell us that the reason
the young people of the land are for
controlled liquor is because they cam
not harken back to the days before
prohibition and therefore do not I'M
derstand the horror of broken homes,
broken families, and broken human
beings who allow themselves to be-
come slaves to the Sparkling cup.
Politics makes queer bed fellows,
and it is our belief that liquor is
something that will be as hard to out
law IS murder. All the laws of the
land cannot stop either drunkenness or
murder. Strict laws control it. At
present the laws are in favor of legal
liquor. Those opposed to it should not
stop the, good fight, but one Of the
greatest fights, one assured of more
triumphant victory, is to see that the
boys and girls who are growing up
today learn of its effects on both
body and mind and are so trained and
taught that they think no more of
tampering and trafficing with it than
they would of starting fad for
drinking arsenic water. 1t is well to
remember that while bootleggers sell
liquor, it is very, verify seldom that
we find one who drinks his own
wares. -

HE RINGS THE BELL

Independence Day orators rang the
changes on individualism, personal
rights, the Constitution, and the
ideals of liberty, but Senator Harry
Moore, Of New Jersey, speaking in
New York, rang the old bell with
this:
eve hear talk of sharing the
Wealth. I have no wealth, and never
have had any, but I don't want the
wealth of any other men. All I want
is the chance to earn it, and that's all
the American peple want"
That, we submit, is the honest and
honorable position of every true
hearted, right-thinking American.
A lot of wild, foolish and irrespon-
sible talk is in the air in these days
about this, that and the other promise
of Utopia.
Sharing the wealth is one of them.
Senator Moore touches bottom
when he declares that what the patri-
OF wants is merely a chance to earn
it for himself and not to have that
of somebody else divided with him.
You can't puncture the validity OF
the morality or the righteousness OF
that utterance.-Charlotte Observer

TINE PASSES

On the 4th Of July, We began the

The World War laid us under a
heavy monetary burden, which has
more than doubled since 1918, to say
nothing of an increase of very con-
