VOL. XLYII N. C. Senators Op pose Greensboro Tariff Congress Dr. Haywood Preaches Strong Ser mons-State Board of Health Will Combat Pellagra and its Cause. (By Maxwell Gorman.) Raleigh, Aug. 9. —One of the few consolations the people who find it necessary to remain in Raleigh during the month of Angust experience is the once-a week "opportunity to hear un usual and eloquent sermons by the "supply" preachers in a few of the churches. At the Baptist Tabernacle, for instance, Dr. Oscar Haywood, of Cavalry Baptist Chifrch, "New York, is Again preaching during the vacation of the pastor, his first sermon being delivered last> Sunday morning. Dr. Haywood is one of the finest and most force ful pulpit speakers in the coun try, and is widely known in North Carolina, spending considerable of his time in this S.tate of lftte years. One must hear Dr.- Hay wood to enjoy his sermons, for an outline of his eloquence is a mighty weak effort at best to depict a small part of what he says. It is worth spaae to attempt, however, to reproduce in small, parts of some of the thoughts and assertions and appeals which thrilled the hearts of his hearers last Snnday morning. Taking his text from the often dodged passage wherein Jesus counseled the turninjg of the other check when smitten on the one, the speaker, after differentiating be tween the days when it applied to the life Christ led and now, concluded by declaring that if one of his congregation should smite another the latter, instead of tnrning the other cheek, would either retaliate or run away. This he used in exemplifying the declaration that, while the time would come when there would be no more wars, the per iod had not yet arrived, and the person who thinks there will be no more strife between nations is fooling himself. One reason for this is because the individual human heart is the basis of all strife between nations. Dr. Haywood made his congre gation sit np straighter when he announced that the revival need ed most should start with the preachers as the converts —and the one I would seek to convert first would be "Billy" Sunday, declared the speaker. He then explained in what respect the preachers, the pastors, most of them at any rate, needed "con version." "The churches no longer attract peopled to the worship of the Master as they did until only re cently," he thundered. "The working people are dropping off, those engaged in railroad and other transportation work, es pecially in the larger cities, do not assemble themselves together to worship God in the churches as of yore." The time is coming, de clqped Dr. Haywood, unless the pfreeent tendency is arrested, when pastors will be confronted with a lnmber yard of empty benches, instead of ths well-filled pews to which they have been accustomed. Dr. Haywood has spent most of his effqpts in the ministry of late years in behalf of the unfortunate and to the reclamation of the men and women whf have sinned, not only morally, but who have made themselves subjects amenable to the human and statute -laws. "How many preachers are there in this community who pray for a convict? How many of them make an effort to help a man who has been in jail r and help him to the better life many snch have aspir ed to »nd attained? How many make a practice of seeking out THE ALAMANCE GLEAINER —' — vS «M 0 «? • *.» . D,.0 those who peed a helping hand iu the struggle for existence and the means to care for otherwise un provided, helpless and dependent loved ones? How many take note of the things science has done and would match them with the Ac complishments of true religion energetically applied as it can be done in His name?" he asked. The falling off in churcli at tendance is not the fault >r ihe Bible. Most of the men wlut do not attend church as diligently as formerly believe just as strongly in Almighty God and Jesus Christ as they ever did. And it is not Dr. Haywood stat ing fchis truth as it applies to "working people" as well as to the other kinds of people —but the writer of this paragraph who is saying so. Senators Oppose Approaching Tariff Congress at Greensboro. Word reached here that Sena tor Simmons took exception to the faet, as called to his atten tion by certain North Carolina bankers, that his name had been used in circulars sent out by the Southern Tariff Association re garding the approaching South enr Tariff Congress in Greensbo ro. These circulars, according to information received by Sena tor Simmons, say that Seuator Simmons and Overman have join ed in extending invitations to public men to address the tariff congress. Senator Simmons said he wanted to make plain that while he will join with any North Carolina organization or person seeking to invite a public mau to attend a« affair in that State, he does not approve of the objects of the Southern Tariff Association and the Greensboro Congress on August 14th does not have his indorsement. It was said thatSenatois Sim mons ana Overman had intro duced representatives of the Southern Tariff Association to public men in Washington, whose services as speakers were desired, but that such introductions did not carry indorsement of the ob jects of the tariff association. So far as Senator Simmons is concerned it was announced that he disagrees with the principles aud purposes of the Southern Tariff Association and believes that i* is mainly concerned with propaganda in favor of tariff pro tection. . Mr. Simmons, as rank ing Democrat of the Senate Fi nance Committee, is now and hss always been opposed to such pro tective doctrine. - The fact that Senators Simmons and Overman introduced repre sentatives of the Southern Tariff Association to public men here in Washington does not carry with it, it was said, the assumption that the Greensboro congress was ap proved by the North Carolina Senators. On behalf of Senator Simmons it was suggested that he believes the protectionists are trying to mislead the farmers and bankers of the South into believ ing that it will do iheir section good to place a tariff duty dn pro ducts, practically none of which we import and a great deal of which we export. Senator Sim mons regards the entire move ment as one not in the interests of the South and he opposes tho objects of the Greensboro con ference. I>r. Kanklit Back and Kxplalna. Dr. W. S. Rankin secretary to the State Board of Health, has returned from Washington where the recent pellagara conference took place. Dr Rankin was able to report a slight decrease iu pellagra cases and to show that North Carolina has been steadily reduc ing the disease and all others that have attacted the human constitution where assault is least easily repelled* The Raleigh doctor, along with all others, naturally expects, aggravated by conditions, brought on an in crease in all desease which are by malnutrition. And it is hoped that the ability of the conference to show the exaggeration of the "plague" in the South will not encourage the disease by putting people to sleep in a false pelief in their immunity. The State Board of Health will talk cows, balanced rations, sani tation, and several remedial agencus all the more. They \p not mean to let pellagra slip up on tne South and smite it while GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. AUGUST U, 1921 it is not looking. And that ap pears to have been what was In President Harding's mind when he issued his statement nearly a fortnight ago. MONUMENTS ALONG NATIONAL HIGHWAY. One Suggested to Commemorate Battle of Alamance At the sixth annual Convention of the Bankhead National High way Association, whfch met in Greensboro, N. C., April, 1921, the Woman's Commission of this Highway recommended the build ing of a monument on the battle field which is on the Bankhead Highway, located in Alamance county, then Orange county, N. C., where General Light Horse Harry Lee killed 300 Tories and Icaused 700 others to disperse, thus preventing the presence of 1,000 men in the British army at the battlefield of Guilford a few days later, which meant so much for American independence. Sfifrce the Bankhead National Highway Association inaugurated this movement, much interest has been aroused throughout North Carolina and adjoining States to erect this monument. Hon. Ben nehan Cameron, President of thej Bankhead National Highway As sociation, writes Director General Rountree that resolutions endors ing this movement have been adopted by the North Carolina Society of the Cincinnati, North Carolina Colonial Dames of America, Confederation °* Wo men's Clubs, and other patriotic societies. These societies have offered their assistance in raising funds and iu urging Congress to make an appropriation to erect this monument. Senator Lee Overman, of North Carolina, and Congressman C, M» Stedman, have both agreed to introduce joint bills iu Congress, asking for the erection of this monumedt. * It is proposed that monuments aud markers, commemorating historical deeds will be built all along the line of the Baukhead Highway, from Washington to Sau Diego, so that this great transcontinental Highway will be one of the most interesting aud historical rqutes in the entire country. § Cotton Manufacture. Waco Times-Herald. Here before us is a statement to the effect that North Carolina has won distinction in the manu facturing world laigely through the initiative and enterprise of her own people, » It occurred lo North Carolinians who wore growing cotton that they might profitably convert Miis cot ton into cloth, aud einiuently suc cessful have they been. . I'hree-fonrths of all the new looms aud spindles sei up in the South in 1920 were set up iu North Caroliua. There are now 513 textile mills in the Suite, compared with 180 in South Carolina aud 173 iu Georgia. North Carolina einbracos more mills that dye aud (iuish their own product than any other I Southern State. I The largest hosiery mills in the world are located at Durham, N. O. The largest towel mills in the world are located at Kauhapolis, N. C. The largest denim mills in the United States are located at Greensboro, N. C, """ The largest damask mills in the United States are located at Roan oke Rapids, N. C. Winston-Salem contains the largest underwealr factory in America. Gaston county, with around 100 mills, is the center of fine-combed yarn of the South. Texas grows more cotton than any State In the Union, bnt as yet Texas is only incidentally in the business of converting cotton into cloth. Right recently two mills of con siderable size have been started up here in Waco, with the latest improved machinery, one a twine mill and the other a cloth mill. The matter of another mill is under consideration; it should be prosaed until the final consum mation. FUNCTIONS YEAR ROUND. Summer School Ends; Orange Sum mer School Begins—Four New Professors; Two Resign. \ , \ Cor. of The Gleaner. Chapel Hill, N. C., Aug. 9. The most successful summer school in the history of the Uni versity is a thing of the paßt. Not quite as many were enrolled this year as last, but the work done was of a higher grade. 1,090 weire enrolled as against 1,147 last summer. 484 of these were study ing for college credit, 606 pursued normal and preparatory courses. 1,024 students were from North Carolina, representing 93 coun ties. Practically all denomina tions were represented. The University is a State insti tution that functions continuous ly, for by the time oue variety of school ends, another begins. The University summer school closed Friday the sth, and the Orange county summer school opened the Bth, the classes of the school being carried on in the Peabody Building, aud a dormi tory on the Campus being used as living rooms for the thirty teach ers who make up the student body of the school. Announcements of additions to the ficulty have been made as follows: Homer Hoyt, Ph.D., as associate professor of economics, Harold F Jauda, C. E., assistant professor »f highway engineering, Robert H. VVettaeh, LL.B , sssist ant professor of law, and John 11. Bradley, Jr, A.8., instructor in geology Durin/ 1919 Professor lloyt has been professor of eco nomics 'n Delaware College, Mr. Jauda, assistant professor of civil engineering at the University of Cincinnati, and Mr. Weltach and Mr. Bradley took their degrees, the one in law aud the other%ts bachelor of arts, at Harvard this year. Resignations accepted at the meeting of the committee of the board of trustees this week iu Raleigh were the following: Holmes M. Dennis as instructor in Latin, aud John Theodore Krumpteiiian as instructor in German. V . CROP CONDITIONS Not Only for State, but Nation Also. ' County agents from the various parts of North Carolina generally report very hot, dry weather for the past week except for local showers scattered over the north ern aud western sections of the State. Up to the present little land has been broken for fall seeding of wheat in the State. Threshing is practically over, particularly in the principal wheat-producing counties. Corn averages good or better, although the crop has be gun to suffer a little from the drought. Cottou grew rapidly in July, improving steadily, and Is now iu g6od condition with the plants fruiting well in several counties. The appearance of the red spider is reported iu Wayne and some sonthern areas. The tobacco crop in some localities has been damaged by the dry weather but otherwise is making good progress. Hay and grasses are in fair condition but needing rain badly, aud pastures and truck likewise are suffering from the drought, the condition rang ing from fair to good. The largest peach crop ever harvested is re ported from Moore. New Han over has a good pear crop,, but in general the fruit crop is neg ligible. The live-stock supply through out the State is normal aud the condition good. Perquimans re ports some tick fever. Farmers are well advanced with their work and in most areas have finished laying by crops. The Good-Roads program is receiving the attention of some of the coast* al counties. Meeting of Co operative Marketing Associations are scheduled in several couuties, reports indicating that these fed erations are making excellent progress. There h**t »»eeii no ma terial recent u.-e of fertilizers de spite the reduction in price. "The corn crop of liie country averages good to excellent, except where the drought continues," *ays the repbrt v issued by the United > States Department of Agriculture for July 28. Thresh ing of winter wheat is almost completed in the central States, the yield ranging about average. Harvesting is progressing in the far western States/ The oat crop is being harvested in the central States returns Indicating many poor yields and much light grain. The recerit warm weather has been favotable to thfe growth of the cotton crop and has tended to check the ravages of the boll weevil. The United States Department of Agriculture reports a severe drought in the northera hemis phere, especially heavy in Europe and India. In eastern Canada the principal crops have suffered but the outlook is regarded as favorable in western provinces. Acreage figures for winter wheat show a decline compared with 1920, but the yields are estimated to be generally higher provided the drought does no further dam age. The wheat crop in France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, and Italy has stood up well despite the dry weather. Spring wheat prospects are not so bright. In the producing coun tries, the oat c/op is expected to be below average. Fordney Tariff Bill Compared to "Kicking Gun." Disapproval of the Fordney j Tariff bill was voiced by .Senator; Nelson (Rep., *Minn.) along the same line of Democratic opposi-j tion that in order to buy our goods Europe must have a chance to sell her own. Among other! thiugs the veteran Kepublicau chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said: "We are anxious to buildup! trade aud commerce with Europe j We are all anxious to have a market for our products, aud to I get prfid for those product* either in cash or iu valid securities. But,' Mr. President, here is one ques tion that stares me in the face: With those devastated countries of Europe rebdered almost help less by the Great War, financially embarrassed, and seeking grad ually to' rehabilitate themselves, how can we ho[»e that those peo ple will have any money to buy our goods unless we give them a little chance to -sell their own products in this country? To my mind, there never was a more critical time for preparing a tariff bill iu this country* than there is now. "Since the days of the Civil War economic and financial con ditions in Europe never have been as they are today; and if you pro qeed with a tariff bill along the old lines, as the situation was when everything was booming and in good order in Europe, I fear it will be like*a kicking gun. , "Therefore, in view of these facta, I think the Committee on Finance, in framing the tariff hill, ought to take into consideration the question I have in this brief manuer suggested. I think it is very important that they should bear in mind, when they frame the tariff bill, that they must leave an opening, a door, for the farmers of this country to get in and obtain some protection.'' Office Hurts Many Men. Chicago Journal of Commerce. * Franklin K. Lane, after 16 years in the public service, died leaving his family only slo,oou. He was well-to-do when he went into office, but politics nibbled away his accumulations until at death, after valuable services to his country, his estate yields his widow and children a bare SSO a month. Office-holding has done that, and worse, to many a good man. How many men who seek and find a political job, enjoy it for four, t or twelve years, return to private life only to find them selves unfitted for the task of earning a living Against competi tion? There is DO competition in office. The salary is regular, and the people pay the freight. . But the aftermath ! On the whole, the proportion of | men who suffer financially and in business efficiency by office-hold ing, la perhaps as leu to one. CAFES AND HOTELS INSPECTED. Misdemeanor for Failure to Keep to ' Certain Standard. Raleigh, Aug. 6. —The rating of hotels and restaurants, totaling twenty-six, iu seven towns of the | State and compiled by inspectors of the State Bpard of Health were made public today. The ratings' range from the low mark of 66.4, credited to American Cafe at Black Mouutaiu, to 91, credited to the Rosemont Cafe at Fayette-; ville. At Goldsboro the Kennon has the distinction of achieving the highest score for a hotel in the list now made public, this be ing 89.5. Through the joint action of committees representing thej Travelers' Protective Association.' the United Commercial Travelersj aud the Hotel Association, in con ference with the State Board of; Health, considerable revision of the hotel inspection law enacted in 1917 was made, and the recent Legislature enacted the proposed | legislation; Under its terms the j ratings for hotels and restaurants I have been placecl on a stricter ! | basis. A failure to maintain a | rating of at least seventy under i the uew law is made a inisde | meanor. ' > . Inspectors of the health depart-, rnenj are uow engaged in iuspec ; ing work iu practically all parts i of the State. It is expected that, within the next sixty,days with ( the force now at work a complete survey of tun State may be com ploted. f : Money Value of Education | The Detroit News. The college man has eloquent; figures to support iiis contention | that he can hold his own in tne| outside world. No less an author ity than the United Stales Bu j reau of Education has recently j issued a bulletin entitled "The; Money Value of Education," in which is to he found some start ling information. "With tin schooling at all," says the bulle tin, "only 31 persons of 5,000,000 attained distinction; with elemen tary schooling, 808 out'Of 3,XX», 000 achieved like level; with a 1 high school education 1,245 emerged out of a group of 2,000,- 000, and wiih college education 15,786 arrived at this point out of ! a group of 1,000,000." , Putting the thirig iu round numbers it appears that the col lege graduate's chande of making /ood is 10 times better than is; ' that of the high school graduate; it is nearly 22 times better than jthat of the elementary school graduate and !»37 times better than that of the individual with out schooling altogether.
