Your Fire Insurance Policy is nothing more tuai't a
contract between you and some insurance company.
When you buy insurance, be sure that the other party
to the contract is anxious to do a little more than the
right thing.
This agency has had sixty-three years in which to
select the pick of the companies most fair and prompt
in adjustments. No company is permitted to operate
through our office who would in any way take advantage
of one of our clients. Our record sustains us
in our claim that no insurance agency can render bet*
ter service than that furnished our customers.

Totaled 205 Men, Women And Children
With Many Injured
Chicago, July 5.?The lives of 205
men, women and children were a nation's
sacrifice to ^.he celebration of
its 152nd birthday anniversary yes\
terday.
I Fireworks claimed their share of
I victims, as they always have since
the United States first began observing
Independence Day with skyrocket,
pin-wheel and cannon cracker.
1 There were eleven such deaths in the
entire country, according to The Associated
Press tabulation.
Lakes and rivers, however, evacted
I the heaviest tribute to human drowni
ings being reported. Motor car deaths
i ranked next in number, with 54. Heai
claimed twelve lives and linghtning
i three, while four were killed in plan"
crashes, in addition there were 15
| deaths attributed to other causes di!
rectiy connected with America's ob!
servance of the Fourth.
The airplane accidents were at Jol
let, 111., where a pilot and two pass|
angers plunged to death when the
} wing of their plane snapped^ and at
Beaumont, Texas, where one was killed.
Three of the motor oar deaths came
in races, drivers being killed in Oregon,
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
The number of persons injured,
many .probably fatally, ran into the
I thousands. Premature explosion of a
: truckload of fireworks at Lamar, Mo.,
injured 25 persons as 5,000 gathered
| in the public square to witness the
display. In the larger cities the hospital
list of persons hurt during ob|
servance of the day ran into the hundred'.
Chicago, with an ordinance
prohibiting the sale of fireworks,
i echoecj all day with firecracker explosion'.
and reports from police and
; hospitals that the number injured
i was probably greater than in recent

You Can't Hit The High Hpoia All
The lime
I A young lady complained to me the
other day that she had periods of
depression. There were times when
| life seemed drab and uninteresjapg.
And she couldn't see the vision nor
envisage the ideal. Life was just
plodding. ? *
Well, why not? That is the human
lot und we had as well accept it.
We are fortunate if we get the
vision once in a while, if occasionally
we stand on the muuntain top,
bathed in the sunlight, and look out
over the future. Most of the time we
have to travel through the valley of
the shadow.
in most North temperate climates
ruin is intermingled with sunshine
and as the poet expressed it, "Into
each life some rain must fall."
Most of our course is to be made
by dead reckoning. We cannot have
the vision of the stars always, and
life is mostly composed of future
steps taken by faith in the dark. We
are fortunate if once in a while the
clouds sweep away and we can glimpse
the goal.
Life is rhythm. It has its ups and
downs and the best thing we can do
isHo say in the language of the old
ndgyo hymn, "I'm sometimes up and
sometimes down, but still my soul is
heavenly bound."
These moments of darkness, these
uninteresting stretches of our life
are our real test. Then is shown our
staying quality and our ability to
pursue a goal by faith and not by
sight.
We cannot have the glory and the
ecstasy every moment. We could
not stand it. No man can live in a
state of perpetual intoxication. He
j must get his feet down to the ground
once in a while and just plug along.
We have the comfort of knowing
that nothing lasts forever and if our
mood is depressed after a while it
will pass away.
You cannot hit the high spots all
the time.
Converts begin their religious life
usually in a blaze of enthusiasm.
They are keyed up to high pitch and
undergo an emotional ecstasy.
It is afterward that the test comes.
They are required to take up the affairs
of daily life which are perhaps
humdrum and uninteresting. The.
crave emotion, but emotion is an occasional
experience and not permanent.
In their daily life there must be
steady application of the truths they
have learned in those rare moments
of ecstasy, so many of them backslide.
In quitting a bad habit very often
we make a vow or sign a pledge in
a moment of enthusiasm which is
very hard to keep in the succeeding
moments of drabness.
The best moral quality is the quality
of stick-to-it-ive-ness, the quality
of hanging on and doing right when
there are no drums beating nor horns
blowing.
So in the marriage relation, we begin
in a burst of ove and violent
affection what must be kept up
through days of perhaps uninteresting
detail.
So the Bible tells us that it is the
overcomers who shall be given the
reward.
A great stone monument was dedicated
Wednesday at the Bois de St.
Cloud, near Yaucresson, France, to
the memory of the American heroes
of the LaFayette escadrille who died
during the World war. The graves
of all American flyers who died in
the flying service will eventually be
buried close by the memorial. The
dedicatory address was delivered by
Ambassador Myron T. Herrick.
The fourth lynching in Mississippi
in four days occurred Monday when
a negro was hanged for an alleged
attack on a white girl.

Hickman Appeal
For Life Lose*
S#n Francisco, July 5,?The Caliifornia
tupromtf court today uphold
the constitutionality of the law u?der
which William Kdwurd Hickman
was tried und sentenced to hang for
the murder of 12-year-oiu Mat Ian
Parker, of I>os Angeles.
The decision sustained the trial
cuuit in 1 .OS Angeles which after ajury
trial found Hickman sane when
he committed the murder and sentenced
hint to death. The opinion
held that in pleading "not guilty by
reason of insanity," under a recently
enacted provision of the state penal
code, Hickman had not been denied
his rights as a defendant under
either the state or federal consitution
as his appeal petition alleged and
thai hence his sentence must stand.
Immediately after the supreme
court's ruling Hickman's attorney,
Jerome Walsh, announced in Kansas
City that the cuse would be appealed
to the supreme court of the United
States.
In the Marian Parker murder case
Hickman entered only the one plea.
In the murder of C. Ivy Thorns,
a druggist, with which Hickman was
jointly accused with Welby Hunt, 17,
a former pal. Hickman pleaded "not
guilty" and "not guilty by reason of
insanity." He was convicted, found
sane and sentenced to life imprisonment
in San Quentin prison, where
he has been in condemned row since
his two trials. He was sentenced to
hang April 27, last, but execution was
automatically postponed by his appeal.
The supreme court in today's decision,
sent the case back to the Los
nngeies superior court, wnere niCKman
will be resentenced. Under the
law, a period of thirty days must
elapse before this is done.
Hickman kidnaped and murdered
Marian Parker, 12-year-old daughter
of Perry >1- Parker, Los Angeles
banker, last December. After a chase
up the coast to Pendleton, Oregon, he
was caught and brought to trial. He
confessed.
Gaston county ranks third in America
in cotton spinning with its 1,243,277
spindles in 112 cotton mills, and
in addition has 4,lo4 weaving looms,
a survey by the Gastonia chamber of
commerce given out shows.
SIDE DRESSING OF ( OBN
WILD FAY HANDSOMELY
Clemaon College, July 8.?Corn retjuire*
Urge amount* of ammonia and
water for. profitable yield*. ?o far
this season, however, there has been
too much water, and corn has been
stunted because the excess water prevented
normal root growth and leached
out the needed ammonia. Aa %
whole the corn crop over the state is
very unpromising and if it is not supplied
with additional plant food there
is a prospect for a very short crop.
All corn that has not tnateled
should be side dressed with 100 to
200 pounds of nitrate of soda or an
equivalent amount of soluble ammonia,
advises it. W. Hamilton, extension
agronomist. If the heavier
amount is used it should be put on
in two applications, the first when
corn is approaching knee-high and
the second when bunching to tassel.
Experiments throughout the state
have shown that an average yield of
21 bushels per acre can be increased
to 40 bushels by the above amounts
of soluble ammonia applied at the
right time.
John Dyer, a former policeman of
Rye, N. Y., several months ago found
an old violin in his coal bin. A short
time ago he is said to have sold tho
instrument for $40,000 to an unnamed
buyer. John has quit police work.
