GRAHAM, N. C., Oct. 30,1910
The President has issued what ,
might very appropriately ibe ,
termed an ultimatum iu regard to ,
the strike coal mine workers pro
pose to put into effect on Nov. Ist.
He tells them they shall not tie ,
tip tho transportation and indus
trial operations of the country |
and bring distress to innocent
millions. There is no uncertain
tone in his statement and the
country is backing him. 'I ho
miners are warned at their peril.
These miners are striking for five
days a week and six hours a day
with six days' pay. Absurd!
Reasonable people will not stand
for it.
Has the long drawn out discus
sion of the Peace Treaty and the
failure to ratify it promptly any
feonnection with the various strike
movements in tho United States?
Is the unrest tho result of enemy
propaganda ?
' President Wilson is so much
improved that his physician al
lows him to give some attention
to official matters.
All the proposed reservations
to tha Peace Treaty aud Cove
nant have been defeated in tho
Senate. What next?
Judge Boyd Asks President to Name
Another Judge-
Judge James E. Boyd of Greens
boro, of the United States District
Oonrt, on Tuesday sent a letter to
President Wilson, requesting the
•ppointmont of an additional
judge for the Western N. C. Dis
trict.
Congressman E. Yates Webb has
been slated for the place for soino
time and it is believed he will be
appointed at once.
Judge Jioyd is unusually virile
for a man of his age, hut recognizes
that he must conserve his strength.
The following is Judgo Boyd's
letter:
"To tho President: —
"I feel that 1 should request tho
appointment of an additional judge
in this district under tho provisions
of the Carlin act.
"I sin passed 70 years of age and
have been on tho bench as United
States district judge in this (tho
western district of North Csrolma)
lor nearly 20 years. As long as I
waa capable of performing the duties
of the oQice efficiently I did not
think, it proper that an additions!
judge should bo provided, but now
that 1 am in a condition physically
which renders me unahlo to do ail
the necessary court work in tho dis
trict, and I, therefore, suggest that
the appointment of an additional
judgo bo made without delay.
"I have tho honor to be, with
very great resj>e',
"Your obedient servant,
"JAM. E. BOYD,
"United States District Judgo."
Elevations at Graham, Burlington and
Haw River—Graham 122 Feet
Above Haw River.
Several years ago the U. S Geo
logical Survoy passed this way and
placed a copper tablet about one
foot above ground at the West side
of the North entrance to the court
house. The tablet says "G4» foot
above sea level," hut the true ele
vation of Graham is »>41.072 feet.
Where tho tablet is placed tho ele
vation is correct for that point.
While the engineering corps was
here recently making tho survey for
sewerage for Graham tho elevations
were taken all around tho commu
nity as a basis for estimating tho
probable cost of putting in a sower
age system for Graham
The following figures, which were
furnished by Mr. E. M. Gregory of
the engineering corps, will be in
teresting ss to the elevations at dif
ferent points: At the court house
641.072 feet; at Graham station
065.77 feet, or over fourteen and a
half feet higher tliau the court house;
at Haw River, top of bridge lloor,
533.60 feet, or more than 122 feel
lower than'at Graham station; at
Burlington station r>62.1>5 feet, or a
little over seven feet higher than at
Graham Station.
It will be notod especially the big
drop from Graham to Haw River—
-122.18 ftet, which makes the grade
from Haw River to Graham tho
heaviest, perhaps, on tho line of the
old N. C Railroad, ami a hard pull
for heavy trains.
Soldier, Twice Reported Dead.

Mr. Jennings McClure of the A.

Hence when he came hack his rela

the Headquarters Co. for Camp
Sevier and was later transferred to
an aviation mechanic corps. lie

BIG MONEY LOSS
WHEN COTTON IS
STORED ON GROUND.j
Cotton Growers Lose Many Thou
sands Annually Properly
Housing Their Cotton
Under (Into of Oct. 2j li. L.
Winch oil, Regional Director of U. ]
8. Railroad Administration, writes
to cotton growers, dealers, gin
ners, tfce., very pertinently about ]
the caro and proper storage of cot
ton to prevent loss, as follows:
Millions of dollars are lost every
year through improper storage of
cotton. This lias been known in
a general way for a long time by
everybody interested in cotton,'
but probably very few of us have J
even suspected what a tremendous
factor storage is in the trade, or
Iho astounding lot of money
thrown away by the individual
owner who lets a bale of cotton 1
stay on thegroniul.
.Some tests conducted by the
I Tniled States Department of Api
culture recently were brought to '
the attention of the United Slates
Railroad Administration, and
their results were so startling that
the Administration desires to aid
in gaining for them widest pos
sible dissemination and most care
ful consideration.
The most striking fact disclosed
was that a 192-pouifrf bale of cot
ton stor d flat on the ground for
six months lost ".'>2 pounds, leav*
lug 2CO, pounds for the market,
while another bale stored proper
ly in a warehouse lost only two
pounds. This means that, if the
price was thirty cents a pound,
the loss on the first bale was £l!).CO.
The loss on the bale in the ware
house was but sixty cents.
These tests occurred at I'ross
No. 1 of tho St. Louis Cotton Coin
press Company, Little Kock, Ark.
Seven bales of cotton were pur
chased by the Department of Agri
culture ami stored under various
conditions from November 26,
1!)18, to June 13, 1!»1!». Weekly
observations were conducted and
complete reports prepared upon
the condition of tho cotton
throughout the period.
Briefly, here is what the tests
disclosed:
Halo No. 1, fully protected in
warehouse, weighed 4l)'l pounds at
the start and lind a not market
able weight of -192 pounds when
reconditioned at tho end of the
test.
Hale No. 2, exposed on dunnage
and turned after each rain or once
a week, dropped iu net market
able cotton from IST pounds to 4HO
pounds. (Seven pounds lost.)
ltale No. 3, on dunnage on edge,
covered with tarpaulin and left
without further attention duriiiK
test, dropped from 489 to 485
pounds. (Four pounds lost )
Hale No. 4, Hat on "ground dur
ing entire test, same surface down
at all times, dropped from 402 to
2GO pounds, tg'l2 pounds lost.)
During t hottfsrl his bale absorbed
moisture until it weighed 912
pounds on Juno 7. In recondition
-1 irig 420 pounds of moisture went
' out and 232 pounds of moulded
and ruined cotton were thrown
away.
Halo No. 5, on end on ground
(luring the entire test, with same
surface down at all times, dropped
from 505 pounds to .'lB5 pounds.
(Loss 120 pounds )
Hale No. t>, on odjie during en
tire test, same surface down at all
times, dropped from 5011 to 438
pounds. (Loss 55 pounds.)
Hale No. 7, on edgo on ground,
turned from time to time, at least
once a week, dropped from 4*15 to
473 pounds. (Loss 22 pounds.)
Inquiries by the Agricultural
Section of the Railroad Adminis
tration have developed that the
tests actually demonstrate what
will happen to average bales of
cotton handled in tho same fash
ion, and do not represent excep
tional cases. Many practical il
lustrations could lie cited to sup
port the result of eaeli test.
While the grower and handler
of cotton are most vitally inter
ested and Vill benefit chielly by
heediug the .warning given by
these facts, the railroads also are
concerned—directly, because of
the liability of claims arising from
damaged cotton, and indirectly
because the interests of a great
class of producers and shippers
and the interests of the railroad
are common.

The healthy, attractive woman

And yet health and attractive
ness are much a matter of good,
red blood and unless a man or wo
man is afflicted with some deep

ous health, and personal charm
are within easy reach.
l'epto-Mangan is responsible for
the present health and happiness
of thousands who formerly were
thin, pale, languid and easily ex
hausted. l'epto-Mangan helped
place these folks in tho full-blood
ed, energetic, vigorous class —and
it probably can do the same for
you.
J'epto-Mftiigan contains the ele
ments that make rich, healthy
blood. And as a result of the in
creased supply of red blood that
Pepto-Mangau creates, the entire
system attains the vigor that be
longs to every man and woman.
l'epto-Mangan is prepared iu
two forms, liquid and tablets.

Ask your druggist for "Gude's"

are pulled outof the closet all full
