THE SOUTHERN SERVES THE SOUTH
Millions for
necessities t>ut none
to spare for luxuries
Kailroad profits are limited by law, and rates
are fixed by the Government. In no other
large business is so great an amount of capital
risked for so. small a return ?t? tn railroad
transportation.*
The new money put into a railroad, therefore,
must be profitably employed, either in in
creasing capacity for service or in effecting
economies of operation.
The Southern, never yet able to control all
the new capital its management would be
pleased to invest, necessarily has to give
preference to productive improvements, such
as yards, shops, engines, cars and tracks.
But tt is because it has devoted its resources
to necessities ? rather than non-productive
improvements like monumental passenger

stations? "-that the Southern has been able to
Iceep its service abreast of the demands of
the territory it' serves.

SCORER CLARENCE HARROW.
Pastor Says Noted Lawyer Would
Not Know The Truth.
Laurens, .July 12, ? Preaching from
the text as. recorded in Ezekiel 21:31
and using the theme, "Skilful to De
stroy," I)r. Weston Bruner, pastor of
the First Baptist church, in his morn
ing sermon referred to the unusual
scene in Tennessee, with an array ?f
skilled* lawyers, headed by "Darrow,
agnostic, who wouldn't know the truth
if he were to meet it on the street,"
all lined up anfl aided by Civil Liber
ties, Russian Reds, I. W. W.'s and
'what not, ostensibly to defend a
teacher of evolution but in reality to
make an onslaught against the di
vinely given word of Clod, the Holy
Bible.
"Skilful to Destroy," not to con
struct or build up, is the meaning and
intent, the speaker said, and gave it
as his opinion that the taxpayers of
Tennessee had the right to say who
should teach and what should be
taught in their schools and he praised
in standing for right and truth.

TREATS MEN FOR LIQUOR HABIT
. ' I
pr. Stani?y, of Greeitaboro, Ha? Han
dled Four T Ho u Hand < .<? ?
(Yorkville Enquirer)
"1 cannot prevent a man front
drinking whiskey and sending him*
self and his family to eternal dam
nation and destruction if he insists
upon going that way. But 1 can by
treating hiin get him to the place
where he dues* not crave or desire
liquor s&fi4 enn restore him to hi*
nujimi! im-ntal ami physical condi
tion if N wilt follow, my instructions
and exert a little will power and de
termination."
So MLgg Di. K. I-. Stamey, em.mir.
physician of Greensboro, N. C., who
make a specialty of treating "hootch
hounds" and "hop heads.y During
the past thirteen and one-half years,
Dr. Stamey has treated 4,000 men
from all sections of the United States
who have been addicted to the liquor
habit. Every man has gone away
from his sanitarium feeling betteiv
than he had felt before in year
perhaps, except during that period
when he was soused in liquor and
before the after-effects had set in.
But not all of that 4,000 have
"stayed put," admits Dr. Stamey.
The fact that so my of them have
come back months or years later for
a second treatment and some of them
for a third and even a fourth and
fifth is their fault and not his. They
forget their resolution and determi
nation previously made to lay oft
the stuff and listening to the sinis
ter pleading and invitation of their
so-called friends ami associates, they
took to drink again and soon after
they found themselves back in. the
same old rut.
Dr. Stamey refers to habitual
drinkers and. especially those mem
bers of the booze fraternity who
would persuade one to come down
from his high perch on the water
wagon as "that carbuncle crowd."
It is his opinio*?, based on his
iong experience and observation in
treating inebriates, that association
has much to do with one's addic
tion to the liquor habit. The desire
to be a good fellow and to be agree
able and congenial with the "car
buncle crowd", is the greatest influ
ence in producing drunks, he says.
Of course heredity plays a big part
in many cases. Overwork, and ner
vousness cause some men to drink
to excess and get to the place where
they cannot overcome their desire
for liquor. Then there are others
who start the whiskey wh-iz just out
of p,ure cussed riess.
Dr. Stamey, who is unquestion
ably one of the foremost authorities
in the south on the treatment of li
quor and drug addicts, had little if"
any idea when a young man that he
would devote his life to the "treat
ment of liquor addicts and "hop
heads," as morphine, cocaine and
opium addicts are called in the ver
nacular of the tenderloin. Early in
life he prepared himself for the min
istry of the Methodist Episcopal
church and after graduation rfrom
college was ordained into the minis
try of the denomination. For a num
ber of years he was a circuit rider
and pastor of a number of North
Carolina charges.
Some years later he was stricken
with a throat trouble which left him
with a:i impediment of speech, and
for that reason it was necessary for
h 1 mi to give up his ministerial work.
Thereupon he entered upon the stu
dy of medicine and soon after grad
uation he began making a specialty
of treating inebriates. He has been
engaged in this work since having
had 1,000 of them under his care.
In recognition of the great work
that he has done in reclaiming men
and women and restoring them to
?
their normal selves, Emory Univer
sity, (>a., at its recent commence
ment exercises bestowed an honorary
degree upon him, an honor which
those who know him well and who are
familiar with his work, think was
well warranted and highly deserving.
Dr. Stamey talks interestingly about
liquor as it is in these Volstead days
and the effect it has upon those who
guzzle it. Among other things he
observes :
Kmployers and business men gen
orally have learned many things in j
the la<: feu jears and do not now,
look with toleration even upon the
moderate drinker, to say nothing of
the drunkard. They have found for
instance, that sometimes the moder
ate drinker is in a very shaky condi
tion .that he seems weak and depress
ed, that h<? is irritable and doen not
give to his work that keen concentra
tion of thought which is ever nece?
sar\. They have observed that
First - Drinking, even in so-called
moderation, makes it impossible, other
things being equal, for a man to do
as much or as good work as i? done by
the total abstainer. ,<?

1 Nf* Orleans, July 9.? Mosquitoes
which ? have descended in larger
waiius than usual this summer on
New, Orleans and other places along
the Gulf coast, have been blamed for
bad dispositions and almost every
thing else. Uut the latest charge
; against them comes from Tangipa
! hoa Parish, where the pests are ac
j eu&ed of causing the postponement of
fist- weddings in one week.. The wed
! dings were to have been out door
affairs in keeping with the season.
A dry winter, which caused the
; deaths Of thousands of small fishes
j and other forms of animal life thai
j prey upon mosquito larvae, followed
by unusual rains, this spring, are
the cause given locally for the un?
?usual plague of mosquitoes. Local
health officials say that in the main
they are harmless, at least in so far
as germ-carrying goes.
Druggists that sell various ill
ftmelTing oils have reaped a harvest
this summer and smudges of burn
ing rags, rubber and Spanish moss
are common sights in front and back
yards and even on sidewalks here.
G ood screens keep most of the pests

moderate drinker depends upon a
stimulant and is uncomfortable, ner
vous and irritable without it.
FoWth ? He finds that such a man
is unable to put forth his full mental
and physical powers, and gradually
becomes a machine at best, and not a
dependable one at that.
Fifth ? A moderate drinker is lia
ble to become a drunkard and busi
ness men cannot afford to take this
chance.
The odor of whiskey in these days
cheapens a man in the business
world, declares Dr. Stamey, who adds
that it also makes it hard for him
to get or retain a good position. Men
at the top of the various professions
are not seen chasing blind tigers and
patronizing moonshiners. '"Dutch
courage" is at a discount now and
ever will be, for it is false, and what
is false cannot survive.
This good minister turned doctor
is proud of the fact that 80 per cent
of the 4,000 be has treated have stay
ed quit and noyv ride high on the
water wagon. After he completes his
treatment of a patient he always
dismisses him with the hope that he
will remain sober for the remainder
of his life. Indeed, he would be
happy if there were not a single in
ebriate in the world and there was
no need for hj*? strvices any longer
as director of a cure for drunks. - !
Celebrated Medicine Hag
Become Talk Of The
Town ? Vast Numbers
Here Are Benefited.
i Karnak, the remarkable
new medicine, is producing
such phenomenal, results
that it has become a sensation
here.
Never before has any medicine
brought forth such overwhelming
outbursts of praise from happy
people made well and strong
through its use as Karnak. Vast
numbers of local people are every!
day reporting phenomenal retunj
of their old-time strength and en
orgy and quick relief from their
suffering after taking it.
Men and women of all ages, in
all walks of life afflicted with
stomach, liver or kidney disorders,
some of them weak, thin and nerv
ous and apparently on the verffte of
collapse, have testified that Karnak
has fully restored them to ^hdr
normal healthy condition; they
have regained their weight and
strength and feel li^e their old
Helves again.
Still other*, who seemed fairly
well, yet who Buffered with indiges
tion! constipation, sluggish liver
and sour, gassy stomach; as well
as those who complained of walu
ing up dull and tired ? eyes heavy
? head aching and dizzy ? tongue
coated? -bad taste and offensive
breath, state that they have been
entirely relieved of these distress
ing symptoms and restored to
health and happiness through the
use of karnak.
Karnak la unquestionably the
greatest medicine of all time*.
It is fast coining into universal
use and recognized by authori
| ties as the greatest boon to suf
fering humanity the world has <
1 ever known.
Over 500,000 bottles of Karnak
sold in four states in ten mohtha.

* Karnak is sold in Camden ex

the leading druggist in every town.
' . HEAVY POSTAL LOSS
Deficit Due t.o Increased Pay (o Post
office Employes
Washington, July 8. ? A deficit of
approximately $40,000,000 for postal
operators for the fiscal year of 1925
was estimated today , by Postmaster
General New.
The indicated debt for the year,
which ended on June 30, was attri
buted ,by the Postmaster General to
the increase in the pay of postal em
ployes and the change in postage
rates. In announcing total postal
receipts of $2,832,682 for June from
fifty industrial city postoffices, he
said : % ,
"The receipts of the fifty* selected
postoffices for June show an increase
of 14.72 per cent over June, 1924,
and those of fifty industrial cities
with 16.45 per cent show even a
better average.
"There are Jwo most gratifying
Circumstances in connection with
these figures, the first of which is
the fact that every one of the larger
cities shows an increase, and the
same is true of all but one of the
industrial cities. The month's busi-,
ness is therefore quite satisfactory
from the standpoint of the postoffice.
"Of course any estimate based on
these figures as to how nearly the
postal receipts will balance expendi
tures for the current year is the
merest guess, but, the figures quoted
would indicate a deficit of something
like $40,000,000, which" is due, of
course, , to legislation passed by the.
last Congress affecting bqth pay and
rates."
In 1923 the bottom of the Atlantic
rose two and three-quarter miles in
24 miles near St. Helena.
The output of soda water and
candy in 1924 amounted to more
than $4,000,000.
MANY CLAIM REWARDS.
Twenty-eight * Men Have Been Con
victed in Mutilation Case
Raleigh; July 7.? Claimants for
the state reward money for the ap
prehension of the convicted members
of the mob that mutilated i?seph
Needleman in Martin county some
months ago may lose several thou
sand dollars for their failure to com
ply with the terms of the reward of
fer, it was indicated this afternoon
following a conference between Gov
ernor JVIcLean and Solicitor Donald
Gilliam of Tarboro.
Soon after the mutilation of Needle-'
man, Governor McLean offered a re
ward of $400 for each of the members
of the mob apprehended and convict
ed. The offer 'stated, however, that
the mob members should be delivered
to the superintendent of the state
prison ait Raleigh. And while 28 men
were either convicted or submitted,
only seven were ever delivered at the i,
prison, and they were brought here
after they had been sentenced by
Judge N. A. Sinclair. "If a ,reward
should be paid for each of the 28 the
bill against the state would amount
to $11,200, but if the terms of the re
ward offer are invoked, ?the reward
money will not exceed $2,800 for the
apprehension of the seven sentenced
to prison.
Another matter to be Qetermined
before the payment of any reward is
the official status of the claimants.
State law prohibits the payment of a
reward to a regular officer for ar
rests or captures effected within his
county. Special officers, however,
may make claim. Solicitor Gilliam
i will make inquiry to determine
whether those apprehending the mob
members were regular or special of
ficers.
There is a big list of claimants for
reward money and others still to filfc
claims.
A woman who made a drop of 16, t
00p feet in a parachute had to be
clothed like an Eskimo.
Although Australia manufactures
85 per cent of its knitted underwear,
it bought $3,000,000 worth from other
