One thing is certain not a mile or these magnificent highways was ever built with the approval of Governor Johnston either since he has been governor or while he was a legislator. We are glad he lias seen the "light" and thus acknowledges his error in persecuting the state highway department as he did so often and with such acrimony, even going so far as to call out troops to stop all highway work in the state Maybe now Governor Johnston, having seen the error of his way, may be induced to sponsor at the next session of the legislature?his last?a j movement to permit th,* state high-{ w a . .(.-part im-nt to take over all coun-j iv highwavs in the state, maintain, 'i.i tonstrmt im iii, turning over all > mourn, f,,r that put pose - ' ' : W . 11 r I > ?r,? |' i , ,i ml St a ml a rd Ad vie* To Swimmers W <! 11 * - w i ::i i : i -. ] v * , .in':, ' ' |1 . n 11111 I., i v i. i 111 m 1 n ' ' -i-i - i d id i bill for i h- b.-tm ' Mm*. w!m . njov swimming vm"i-t i** op, r1;:* inf..rmar i-oi tor vvb.it ' : i w o: - h j l I'to- Aun-ric.in Society for the Hard "t K- aritig has i-ste-d a stat.-m. nt i "oi.i.iaimg tinu ly advice for the countless thousands of children and adults' who turn to pools, streams and ocean Min tor respite and recreation during tie- dog days Water in moderation will not harm 'he outer t-ar. the society points out, but it will swell up any tlbrous or waxy material iu the external our canals. thus producing pressure and temporary deafness?the type that makes you hop tlrst on one foot and then on the other to rid your ears of too much K20.

C McCarley. in] discussing the l'J3T Agricultural Con-1 sen at inn program, points out the val-1 'J nt harvesting the largest amount! *: ^11m1111r legume seed possible tins .iiii I t lie advantages of planting , i liberal crop next year. New D the tittle to make plans for harvesting a liberal supply of this! \'.u s cow pea crop for consumption ) ;t> loud this winter and tor planting | it' m year's crop, " he says. "It Is wise I to plan for a surplus of seed, as one may sell it to those who do not have a supply. Usually there has been a: ready market at planting time for any surplus soil-conserving crop seed. . The saving of cowpoa 80ed should he stressed because cow peas Improve the soil and protect the land from soil erosion, thus assisting in a more economical production of crops; furnish a supply of food for the farm; make a good hay crop; and may provide an additional income through the sale of surplus seed." Mr McCarley especially emphasizes the value of cow peas because cowpeas can be harvested readily and because of their special value as food. He points out, however, that there are other summer legume crops equally as valuable in most ways, and producers should also be careful to harvest and preserve the seed of these crops, since the demand for legume seed has generally exceeded the supply.

Finney believes the chunges for 1938 cars aren't going to he very ex tllng 'In fact." In* says, "car makers are wracking their bruins trying to think of what to feature in their advertis iug and selling. Most of the lnnova tions that will muke customers gawk and talk are being held over until 1939. Business Is good enough that ears will be bought in huge numbers for another year without resorting to costly changes. "The relatively small tooling changes for 1938 will help keep up motor earnings, despite the fact that the Increase in retail prices may not cover recent boosts In manufacturing expenses " In New York automobile circles? which, like Finney, do not believe the change's in design will be very exciting?the emphasis in discussing the 1938 models is on Improved handling of cars and new safety devlcea. Several companies, it was said, plan on following the lead of Oldsmobile In using automatic transmission. Commercial usage of the "hill holder," a new Bendlx product, Is also expected in the new models. Studebaker has already brought out the "no roll hack."

Witsell, of Walterboro, S. C., paid a visit today to the Stone Mountain site down which she fell 300 feet August 29, 1879. She was Emmie Jones then, 9 years old, of Augusta, Ga. Exploring the granite mound with her family, she slipped and rolled. A ledge of rock broke her drop. Four hours later she was rescued by George H. Goldsmith, who eased down to the lodge on a rope. "One thing I remember distinctly was that my new* hat had blown off and caught on a rock just over the ledcfr." she smiled today. "I refused | i<> go back up the mountain with Mr. Goldsmith until he had finally recovered my hat." Visionize A New ! Market For Cotton' t t lintou. N t\. Ahg. 3.?A new market for rot ton was envisioned here today as state officials joined with j this section in celebrating the open j ing of the Clinton Faison "Cotton ' road." "Tills dedication not only marks a j new era in road building, hut It opens a new rich market for cotton." Governor Hoey said In an address, which followed the tour of the motorcade from Goldsboro through Mount Olive i and Faison to Clinton. Governor Hoey spoke also at Goldsboro. expressing the belief the road "holds great significance for the farmer." Superior Court Judge Henry A. Grady welcomed the visitors to the dedication, which ended with a barbecue. J. Albert Von Dohleu. representing Charleston. S. C.. congratulated this section and Congressman Graham' A. Harden, of New Bern, said cotton road projects would provide a new outlet for the people. Governor Frank Murphy, of Michigan. told the national conference of state liquor administrators at Mackinac Lake, Mich., that "the American conception of decency, morality and respect of government is far more Important than a billion dollars worth of revenue." The governor urged the administrators to work diligently In encouraging temperance. "Too much emphasis altogether has been placed oil the fact, that liquor produced a billion dollars In Federal and State taxes, he said. "This financial factor is important, of course, but the American conception of decency and morals Is far more Important."

THE TYPOGRAPHIC ERROR The typographic error Is a slippery thing and shy; You can hunt till you are dizzy, but it somehow will get by. Till the forms are off the presses, it is strange how still it keeps; It shrinks down in a corner, and it never stirs or peeps. Chat typographic error, too small for human eyes, Till the ink is on the paper, when it grows to mountain size. The boss, he stares with horror, then ho g^abs his hair and groans; The copy reader drops his head upon his handB and moans. I he remainder of the issue may be clean as clean can be? But that typographic error 1b the only thing you see. Knoxville Express. Many nose troubles are caused by stirking your nose where it doesn't belong. ? .'.1'^'J.,1.! !- 'J1..
