Camden, S. ('., Friday, June 12, 102*? A prohibition officor at Ualeigh, N. (?., hn.s ^>t himself into a lot of trouble by being too handy \Vith his pistol. Two or three days ago a prominent attorney of Smithfield, N. was returning to his home from Raleigh in a oar wjth a party of friends. The officer ordered the ear to stop, hut the driver continued on h )k way, Then the officer fired into the ear, killing the Ihwyer instantly. Now from his jail coll the officer says he thought the ear was loaded with liquor and th;U ho fired at fif UjJ} jCrtf the tires to stop it. That may he true, but . the office! will find it hard to escape responsibility for his rash act with nothing more h? justify H than a defense of that sort. Of course liquor running is had business, and sooner or later the man who per sists in violating the luvv against it almost certainly eomes to grief. J?ui had as liquor running i-, human life is too valuable to be takt n in an effort to stop it. O-ff ire is have no right to shoot ut cars, even if they know the cars are loaded with liquor, to say nothing of" the all too frequent, practice of men employed t<> enforce the law shooting at cars with no better warrant for the act than the mere assumption that the cars were hauling liquor. The trouhk with main peace 'officers js. thai in^uad of try ng to enforce tin laws as t hey should, they undertake to make law for them selves in trying to apprehend Saw violator* and a-Te^ed- law violators.

Ail of these arc worthy, purposes lor which the saving habit may woll be formed, but the most important result of saving is the development of character which accompanies the formation of the saving habit. Savings banks have been organized for the purpose of stimulating this sn\ ing habit and furnishing a safe -place for the deposit of the savings of those who have sufficient strength u\ charucter to save. In receiving grtat numbers of small .>avir.gs from the savers and lending them in larger amounts to borrower^, the banks are able to earn a profit, a large part of which is l>ai<l to th?? <avers a? interest on their deposit.-., and these savings will go on working and earning interest v-r noornc '.org after the savor will bv: unable to ?-arn. i by depositing his savings in the bank the aaver is not only looking out "o:- his owl welfare but is, at the t>*rr.c time, rendering a service, to his community booause the^o funds, together with those of o'ther deposi tor^ car. b?? used by the bank in the f.nancirg of homes, >.-hr>o!> and roads, and tv'U-? create employment out of which may grow more payroll- and more -avings.

Forty -One Acres of Hugs ^A zoological garden for insect? only, and occupying forty-pne acres, will furnish a national object les son, It wil show the good done by some insects, the harm done by others. Without insects, for instance, there would be no blackberries?. Without bumble bees, as the Aus tralians discovered, with amazemen', you ennhol have clover for your sht ep. It would be easy to destroy all the insects in an orchard, but if you did that you would ruin the fruit crop. With insects, as with other animals, the dangerous kinds are in a minority. Hut the dangerqus ones ate very dangerous." ' 1 The insect- zoological garden is much more important to human be ing- now than the old fashioned kind. Man's dangerous enemies are no lon ger the" wolves, lions, catamounts and snakes. Where wolves at their worst might kill 500 people in a year, "one little demon of a mieroscopic_li.f<\ ! the colon bacillus, carrying with it Asiatic cholera, will destroy millions of lives. II > ??u Love Your Child liorman scientists, fighting con tauiou* discuses, adopt this motto. "Don't let your children be kissed by strangers." A better motto would be: "Don't let your children be kissed by*a hy body." Kissing children tliat do not be long to you is offensive and danger ous stupidity, and that applies to politicians, and all others. You need not be diseased to be a carrier of disoase. Your own system may resist germs that would be fatal planted on the delicate mucous mem brane of a child.

"No man can escape his fate," says t German proverb, and superstition, uhioh has frequently stimulated cour age, has carried on the theory.
