VOL. XLYII Governor and Council _ « N of State Ask Towns to Make a "Show-Down" Doesn't Look Much Like an Extra Ses sion Now—No Sentiment For it Outside the Interested - Towns. •* lrC : * —— NEGROES WITHDRAW OPPOSITION TO LINNEY Some Say Ho ''Ate Crow,'* but Linney Says "'not so"; Has not Changed—Negroes say They Misunderstood Him. (By Maxwell Gorman.) \ Raleigh, June 28.—The pros pects for an extra session of the Legislature are not so likely as they were a few days ago, the Governor and Council of State having considered the matter in formal conference more than once, and practically called npon the cities asking for legislative assist ance for a show down of their financial condition before the final action of calling or not calling the law-makers together in special session. The disposition to avoid an extra session is as strong as ever, and outside the members of the municipal association from the cities most interested there is no sentiment favoring a special session. The view the administration takes of the present situation is that under the constitution the legislature cannot be convened in a special session either granted or rejected. Figures from the cities must be forthcoming, it was made plain. The present indebtedness and the date of maturity of outstanding paper, the present and the highest tax rate to be levied under existing statutes, along with concrete evidence that local banks cannot legally tide the towns over until a regular ses sion is, in the main, the informa tion wanted. Some of the cities can supply this information promptly,' but some of them cannot. It will be at least ten days before it can all be assimilated, and in the mean time the State officials expect to see the clouds rolling by. On July 15th the State Treasurer, as indicated, will open bids for $8,372,500 worth of State bondß and some index to the financial ability of the State is looked for in the offerings. • A stronger reason to suspect that the extra session may yet be averted lies in the possible call here of the State bankers. When they can offer the State ten mil • lion at a time. it is believed that a pool can be 'formed to take care of the cities, and it is not beyond the pale of possibilities that such a conference will be called here. Taking the State as a whole, conditions are no worse today than they were in 1910 when a special session was averted by the bankers absorbing more than four millions of North Carolina refunding bonds. Shippers to Meet JulY 9th Traffic experts and shippers, representatives in conference here with the Corporation Com mission adjonrned for another meeting on July 9th. The recent Virginia cities deci sion was reviewed at length, but ■o actual appraisal of the result was agreed upon. Principally, THE ALAMANCE GLEANER the meeting here was to call off couference scheduled for WashTu&tpn on June 28th. % * The proposed western revision of rates has been temporarily withdrawn and the carriers do not want the meeting. Some of the proposals are the subjects of rulings in the latest order, and a revised schedule will probably be coming soon. No action was taken on the rep arations suits, but a general alarm was sent out to all ship pers urging them to be here on July 9th, when this matter will be fully considered and the man ner of initiating the suits deter mination. Linney Sure of Confirmation The end of the fight against Frank Linney by certain negro politicians, who moved on YV ash ingtou to defeat the Republican State Chairman for U. S. District Attorney, has been reached. Briefly the conclusion is stated from Washington as follows: Negro opposition to Mr. Linney crumbled before the Senate Judi ciary Sub-committee, composed of Senators^ Ernst of Kentucky, Cummins of lowa, and Overmau of North Carolina. The Sub committee is expected to recom mend unanimously for confirma tion- The negro protestauts say of Mr. Linuey that he "met our every contention" or "surrendered to our views." Mr. Linuey and his friends say he did nothing of the'sort; that he merely inform ed the committee that as district attorney he would enforce the law without respect to race or color,. that he would prosecute those who seek to disfranchise the negro of his constitutional right and that the famous Linney campaign circular was not a dis franchisement document, but one suggesting only that the "negro question" be eliminated in South ern politics. On these matters &lr. Linuey tola the committee his record and views had been an 4>pen book all along. Yet the - negroes present concluded the hearing by saying they had "misunderstood" Mr. Linney and his attitude, else they would not have taken up the time of the committee with their protests. Henry Lincoln Johnson, negro national committeeman from Geor gia, appeared as a sort of attorney for the race at the Senate hear ing. •» •Negro leaders from Boston, New York,* Chicago, Toledo, Washington and other cities were present, together with a delega tion of twenty or more from North Carolina, led by D. C. Suggs of Salisbury. Governor In Wrlghtavllle. Governor Morrison has gone to Wrighteville Beach for the week, and there will be nothing new in the matter of convening the Legis lature before his return.

A farmer in Florence county, S. C., went to his county ageot, in July, 1920, and asked him his ad vice as to selling his herd of cat tle, consisting of several registerd cows, which he had priced very low considering the value of the animals. The agent tried to per suade him to keep them, but he replied that he could not be bothered with cows when cotton was selling for such a price. Real izing that it w&s useless to argue, but that under boll-weevil con ditions the cotton enthusiast would need the cows, the county agent simply put him off. The would-be seller called several times and urged the matter upon the agent. In the meantime cot ton went down, and stayed down. In the fall the owner of the cows called and said: "Mac, if ft were not for my cows I don't know what I would do, since cotton has gone down. I'm giving' mytfows better attention, and selling S4OO worth of milk every month. That milk check certainly looks good." The same farmer went to the county agent's office once more in January, this year. He said there was a cow he could buy for $250, The Glorious 4th!

Committee. |and he wanted the agent's advice as to whether it would pay him to sell enough cotton to buy the cow. He believed that even if the long staple cotton, which he could now sell at 20 cents, were to bring 40 {cents next spring, the cow would give enough milk to make up the j difference. Brick Workers Strike at Elon. Cor. of The Gleaner. Elon College, June 28—The calm and smooth running indus trial life of the village of Eton College was broken yesterday morning when the workers of the Elon Crfllege Brick Works walked out on strike. Sixteen colored employees quit their work Mon day morning because of a re\uc | tion in wages. The former wage scale of $2.50 a day for the labor ers in the brick yard was cut to $2.00 a day. The trouble seems to have grown out of the fact that; most of the colored workers were in debt to ihe manager of the com pany, and the wage reduction was an excuse to quit work. The strikers who did not owe the manager anything are now ready to go back to work on the basis of the new WRge scale, although : the others are still holding oat. MME: PROG: Scant Summer Styles Makes Parson Poetic. Scant summer styles, as exhib ited iu and about New York, have inspired Rev. Dx. John Roach Straton, pastor of Calvary Bap tist Church, to pen a poem, which was going through its second edition in the public prints Tuesday. Wrote Dr. Straton: "Mary had a little skirt, The latest st}h>, no doubt, But every tiaae she got inside She was more than half way out." In a prose foreword, delivered from his pulpit Sunday night Dr. Straton declared he did not ad vocate a return to the old street sweeping styles. "There is a style for women's dresses which is in harmony with the laws of sanitation as well as the principles of modesty," he said. The healthy stomach is nothing if not conservative.

It must be incomprehensible toj the Republicans that the Eng-; lish should have a celebration of the second anniversary of the League of Nations. Only 50,000: people participated in it, because th« eoal strike made it impossible to run special trains froiA all parts of the couutrv. But the! throngs in Hyde Park were too big for any one man to address, and there were several meetings, addressed by 20 of the most dis-j tinguished men in the Nation, j secular and religious. Don't the English people care for their own indepeudeuce? Is British sover eignty of 116 interest-to them? Mr. Harding would tell them that the League is a super gov I eminent of the world, and that foreign Nations can order ihe! British Army and Navy around. Don't the English people under stand that the seat of tlibir.gov-! eminent has been transferred | from London to Geneva, and tliatj instead of assuring the world's peace the League is going to) make more war than ever? But perhaps the English people do not believe half of what the Re publican politicians say. A good main of ns do not, either. If a man comes to you for ad vice tell him what he wants co hear, and he will like you; if you tell him what you really think, he will hale you and do as he pleases anyhow. , It's easy to keep away from the I grafters, hut we can't escape the grafted.
