been going up 9.e per cent, stock
prices have been going up 48 per
cent.
Furthermore, since the first of
the year business activity has
ceased to rise-has in fact tapered
Off But stocks have taken re-
newed squirt and risen more preci-
pitately than before.
TINE question whether stock
Il prices are too high, therefore,
is very pertinent. When that ques-
ton is asked, one must ask in
return what is meant by too
high? Too high for what? Too
high for speculation? Or too high
for investment?
Of course, no answer can be
given TO This question which will
apply to all stocks. After all, we
talk of average" stock prices, but
no one buys an average stock.
The question must be answered for
individual stocks.
If the question is asked in ref
ererce to speculation, then we, have
merely to determine whether stock
prices will go higher for month
or two, or five or 10, or a year
or so. If prices are going to con-
tinue to rise, then of course the
market is good for speculative pur-
poses.
But the investor wants a differ
ent answer. No investor wants to
buy a stock which is a good invest
ment now and may be for a month
or two or a year. He wants a share
at price which will be good in
vestment year from now and two
years from now and so on.
A S to the first question, the
IN speculative value of the mar
ket is based on two factors-a con-
tinuance of government spending
and a fair rise in the residential
building field which will stimulate
all business. These are two fairly
dependable elements and, though
stock prices have gone up a little
too fast, there is no reason why
these two speculative energies
ought not to push them up for a
while longer.
On the investment side, the
question can only be answered for
individual stocks. And would say
that such shares will remain good
investments until the general price
structure crashes. No man can say
when this will be.
1t may actually be deferred for
half a dozen years or more. And
If it is. it is sure to be preceded
by further credit imitation. The
answer, therefore, to the second
question is that the investment
values of the market seem good,
but only for those capable of
watching the market with intelli-
gence and gauging the moment for
shifting investment. 1t is no place
for the mere amateur.

Far-Flung Associated Press
Monument To Melville Stone

New York, Sept. Is (AP)-Threads
of telegraph wire connect 1850 news
papers together today in fulfillment
of his dream.
Pulsing cables stretch to the far
thermost corners of the world, scar
ching increasingly for the news that
was his life.
Men at the wars, in the council
chambers, at the scene of crime, at
the 2O-below-zero coronation of an
emperor and of Africa's sun-baked
plateaus-
Men wherever there is news: men
to get it, men to write it, and men
to send it racing over the copper
threads to impatient presses, to the
breakfast or dinner tables of 10000
600 news-hungry Americans.
These-the men and the intricate
human machine of which they are
parts-are the monument of Melville
E. Stone-"M E. S"-the first and
the founding general manager of the
Associated Press.
The Peoria, Ill, Journal called it:

Melville E. Stones imperishable mon
ument"
He is dead now these more than
seven years. Still the monument
grows, for it's foundation was broad
and it was truth; stone Founda-
ton" one newspaper called it.
He wouldn't like the idea of one of
his "boys" writing a story about him
on the anniversary of his birth. One
morning he strobe angrily into the
news rooms and pointed to a short
ZAP" item in a morning paper-an
item that mentioned him by name
and in mildly flattering terms.
II wish it distinctly understood" he
said to his editors, severely that L
have not given the best years of my
life to building up the Associated
Press to have it used to exploit nv
self"
He turned and walked away, but at
the door he paused. His face no
longer mirrored reproach. Instead, the
expression was oddly pathetic ard an
pealing as he said
You boys don't think that's affec-
ton, do you?"

OF the institutions in which Hend-
erson and Vance county citizens take
unusual fspride, there is hardly any
that stands ahead of the II. Leslie
Perry Memorial Library. 1t was
founded in 1924 and every year since
that time has grown in the reach OF
it's influence and usefulness as vast
community asset.
The library was the gift OF the city
and county of Colonel and Mrs. Henry
Perry, parents, and Mrs. H. Leslie
Perry, widow. of the young man
whose name it bears, and is memo
rial to him. 1t stands at the corner
of Young and Court streets. directly
opposite the court house, on the site
where Leslie Perry had his law of
fees before his death.
Supported by Taxation
From the outset the library has
been supported by tax appropriations
by city and county 1t receives an
nually $4,000 from the City of Hen
derson and $4,000 from Vance County,
affordng a revenue of $4,000 for it's
maintenance. 1t is governed by a
board of trustees, some of whom are
named by the City of Henderson,
some by the Vance Board of County
Commissioners, and some by the don
ors. DR.. T. S. Register is chairman
of the board of trustees and Mrs. J.
H. Brodie the boards secretary
Miss Mary Louise McDearman is
librarian, in which position of re-
sponsibility she has served for a num-
Der of years. She has a number of
assistants.
Circulation 69,375 Volumes
Interesting facts about the library
are revealed in Miss McDearman's
report for the year that ended last
June 80.
The Perry library circulation for
the year was 56,624, an increase of
468 over the 56,156 for the previous
year. The Dunbar branch, operated
for the colored people by the Perry
Library, and a part of it, had a cir

6,878 of adult and 2,758 juvenile books
Total additions were 1,O07, including
595 bought and 412 donated and
gained by binding. Volumes lost or
withdrawn numbered 464, leaving a
net gain of 543. The Dunbar branch
had 1855 volumes, including 875 adult
and 781 juvenile volumes. During the
year 103 books were acquired by pur-
chase and 26 by donations or by
binding. Volumes lost or withdrawn

81. Total volumes for both libraries
amounted to 1921.
Vance is one of the 81 counties of
the State giving public library serv-

THE STATE SHOULD ADVERTISE

North Carolina has the goods. She ought to
advertise them and sell them.
Recently maximum daily temperatures of
more than 100 degrees have been common
throughout most of the Mississippi the Missouri
and the Ohio river valleys, even in the Great
Lakes States of Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio. Even Pittsburgh and New York have had
their 100-plus temperatures.
For weeks Kansas City, st. Louis and other
Midwest points have had temperature readings
of more than 100 almost daily, the official maxi
NUNS reaching to 1O6 and higher.
In most of the heated areas between the
Allegheny and the Rocky mountains the mini
mum temperatures at night also have been un-
comfortably high.
All of which leads to the question, how MANY
Of the wel-to-do residents of those heated cities
in that vast Midwest area would have taken
vacation among the lofty cool mountains of
western North Carolina if their attention had
been impressively directed to the comforts of
Blowing Rock, Linville, Boone, Banner Elk
HenderSonville, Black Mountain, Waynesville
and other delightfully."- cool and comfortable re-
sorts among the enhancing verdant mountains
of North Carolina?
There are hundreds of thousands, probably
millions, OF families in the Midwest and the
East who could have taken advantage of the
delightful escape from the heat which the Caro-
lima mountains afforded. To be sure, many of
them would have if the attractiveness of The
Land of the Sky, with its refreshing, inspiring
restful, exhilarating summer climate, had been
properly impressed upon them.
The mountain attractions constitute only one
OF the great natural assets of North Carolina
which ought to be widely and impressively adj
vertised to the outside world. Proper advertising
OF the States attractions in summer and winter
resorts, mountain and seaside and inland its
places of national historic interest and import
ance, and its advantages and opportunities for
the home seeker and new industries, undoubted-
ly would net the State untold millions in profits
in few years.

ECONOMY IN GOVERNMENT

Facts better than unbiased argument, show
that our government has pressing need to take
as its slogan, Economy in Government and
taking that slogan, stick to it. Both parties are
eternally crying Economy, but it is something
like the boy who cried "Wolf, wolff" All he did
was fool the people for while.
Recent figures showing that the federal
treasury has been going in the hole for the past
six years show that the federal government has
spent approximately $18,OOO,OOO,OOO more than
it has received and it is forecast that the current
fiscal year will place the cumulative deficit
above $2O,OOO,OOO,OOO
This vast deficit has been financed through
the issuance of government securities and some
of it will be paid back, but even so, we might
learn to look on government money as we do
our own and not as an amending river of wealth

DEATH WALKS THE HIGHWAY

The gods of reckleSSneSS are devouring thou
sands OF lives each month on American high
ways-and there is no limit to their appetite
During the recent Fourth of July weekend
close to 500 people met accidental deaths-the
largest number for that period since 1881 Fire
works were responsible for smaller number
OF fatalities than usual-but that greatest de-
stroyer of ALL the carelessly operated motor car,
chalked up grisly record And every weekend
witnesses similar occurrences. If, in single
disaster such as an earthquake or fire, as manv
people were to be kill ed as have been killed in
accidents in the last month, the world would be
aghast. But we seem to regard accidents as being
inevitable, and look upon them with equanimity
But the great tragedy is that accidents are
not inevitable. Nine out of ten are preventable.
and easily preventable. Carelessness, reckless
ness, ignorance and stupidity are the principal
causes of accidental injury and DEATH and sure
ly they can be cured-through law, through
force OF public opinion and, perhaps most i'm
portant of all, through education of the indi-
vidual
Death walks the highway. He strides through
our homes. He is unseen visitor at everv
place OF amusement He is apt to put in his ap-
pearance in the happiest hours. The deaths that
follow accidents can be eliminated almost 100
per cent if we will only make small effort. and
learn that foolish act that saves minute or
provides brief, futile thrill can send us or 9TH
ers into eternity. No graver problem faces the
American people than the accident problem
and its solution is entirely up to the pepole.
