NEWBOLD, Osshier SERVICE FOUR PER CENT liBlUHBlfailllil rHE COTTON ASSOCIATION Why People of County are Asked to Join and) Support the Asso soclation. A county mass meeting of the Lee bounty Division of the American Cot on Association was held in the town nali Saturday atternoon with an at tendance of about 200 men. Mr. L. S. Tomlinson, of Wilson, who is one of the National directors of the American Cotton Association, address ed the meeting. Mr. Tomlinson's talk was very impressive, and those who were absent missed a great treat. In bis address Mr. Tomlinson an swered several questions which should clear all doubt from the mind of the man who has questioned the purpose of the American Cotton Association. He said, among other things: “To those who wish to know what is to become of the money that is to be paid in for dues: Flrstf there is being propaganda spread throughout the country by the “Cotton Bears” to sup press the price of cotton, and kill the Interest of the people toward the American Cotton Association. Money has already been used through publi cation to fl^ht this proproganda, and It will take more money to kill it. Second: The permanent association is to maintain a paid secretary in each oiaie, county, ana towosnlp la tbe cot ton producing States. Third: The As sociation will publish a semi monthly jouroal, and send It free of charge to every member of the Assoclatloo. This journal will have oa its sta£f paid experts In the cottoa markets which will keep the journal informed on tbe market conditions of the world. The secretaries of the townships will through the county secretaries keep the journal informed on crop conditions every two weeks. The expense of this journal per annum will amount to 82, 000,000. “To those who wish to know why bankers, business men, and profession al men are asked to join and supgprt the organization: The prosperity of the South is controlled by the price of cotton. If cotton Is selling at or below cost of production the farmers have little or no money. This condition af fects the business interests of both bankers and business men, especially merchants. The income of the profes sional man is effected by the price of cotton, and so is the pay of teachers. Good road and rural school develop ments have been held back by the low price of cotton. Rural women and children have been made Blaves to low as a commercial product has brought fair profits to the ones who have hand led it, but this profit has not been di vided with the producer. The purpose of the American Cotton Association Is to unite the business and producing in terests of the South that they may be able through organization to demand their part of the profits from the greatest money crop in the world.” The campaign for members of the Association was postponed until the week of November 10th. It is hoped that we can get Mr. Tomlinson to re turn to Lee county for a meeting with the business men of the county before the week of November 10th. If we are so fortunate as to get him for the business men’s meeting it is hoped that every man In the County .will come to this meetlg. n Women are al so invited. Synod in Session at Raleigh.

Attorney General Pal tner notified the beet sugar refiners who have been withholding the product from the market until th price situation becomes more stabi lized that the United States sugar equalization board bad determined that 10 cents was a fair price to be charged to wholesalers and that any charge m excess of that amount would be regarded as a violation of the food control act. The refiners were asked to telegraph their con currence of this price which means that the supply will be put on the market immediately, thereby reliev ing the present stringency. The price to the wholesalers heretofore has been 9 cents, so the new price means an increase of 1 cent a pouud. Retailers have been allowed to charge 11 cents for controlled sugar imder the old price. While the de partment of justice and the sugar board did not state what the new retoil price would be it \s assumed, increase will not he greater man the wholesale advance. At 3:16 and 8.00 P.

A dispatch from Washington says Timothy Shea has given notice to Congress that the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire men and Enginemen, of which he is acting president, would not observe pending anti-strike legislation if enacted into law. Such an attempt to single out railroad employes and deprive them of what he termed, the economic right of workers to strike to prevent injustice, must he accepted he said, in connect ion with other information which the railroad brotherhoods have, as a foregone conclusion that the railroads contemplate a general reduction in wages when the government surrenders control and desire such a meas ure to forestall a strike. “If these interests or the leg islators believe railroad employ es will unresistingly submit to any such invasion of their rights as citizens,’’ Mr. Shea continu ed, “they had better expel that thought from their minds, be cause I believe I speak for locomotive hreinen and hostlers m at least when I say that any - law which deprives them of the rights of American citizenship would not be observed, not be cause this class of American oitizens are law-breakers, but jecause such a law wouia db unwarranted, un-American and contrary to American institu- 1 tions,” Mr. Shea said such a law was ) ilmost certain to precipitate re volution and was in fact just what extreme radicals and re volutionary agitators desire. “This would give them logical argument for direct action,” ho asserted, “with the intention of displacing the liberal and more conservative leaders and there by overthrowing the existing social political and industrial institutions of the country, ‘‘If an anti-strike law is en acted the responsibility for an upheaval which might follow lies with Congress.” Great Waste From Improper Cotton Storage. Millions of dollars are lost every probably very suspected what a tremendous factor storage is in the trade, or the as tounding lot of money thrown away by the individual owner who lets a bale of cotton stay on the i^rouud. Some tests conducted by the United States Department of Agri culture recently were brought to die attention of the United States Railroad Administration, and their -esults were so startling that the Administration desires to aid in gaining for them widest possible iissemination and most careful con sideration. The most striking fact disclosed was that a 492-pound bale of cot ton stored flat on the ground for six months lost 232 pounds, leaving 260 pounds for the market, while another bale stored properly in a warehouse lost only two pounds. This means that, if the price was thirty cents a pound, the loss on the tirst bale was $60.60. The loss on the bale in the warehouse was but sixty ceuts. Inquiries by the Agricultural Section of the Railroad Administra tion have developed that the tests actually demonstrate what will hap pen to average bsles of cotton handled in the same fashion, and do not represent exceptional cases. Many practical illustrations could be cited to support the result of each teat. Saving Lumber With Glue The development at the Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin, of a water-resistant glue which will hold wood together under severe atmospheric conditions provides many wood us^rs with a new and practical means of saving lumber. Small waste pieces of wood can be built up into large pieces which are as strong as solid pieces and considerably cheaper. The new laminated wood con struct’on is already beiug success fully used iu wagon hubs and axles, hat blocks, shoe lasts, athletic ap paratus, and airplane parts, all of which are exposed to hard usage and severe moisture conditions. Detailed information about the manufacture of water resistant laminated wood may be obtained from the director of the laboratory free of charge. Judge Adams. It is a matter of gratification when a judge of the type of Judge W. .). Adams is found on the bench. He is an able law yer, a just and upright judge, who has the confidence of the people. Judges of his type are too few on the Superior court bench of our State. The service is hard and upremunerative^ Lawyers of first class ability can make much more money in prac tise and be at home with their families—Statesville Landmark.
