CHANGE OE HEART.
■ _
When the league of Nations was
presented to the Senate of the United
!' States for ratification. Senator Borah
wuk one of its bitterest opponents. lit*
. declared there was no reason why the
United States should meddle with En
ropean affairs. XYe*hav<* enough at
home to keep us busy, he polluted out,
and throughout the debate in tlie'Noip
! ate on the question of our foreign ‘pol
icy he maintained an attitude of oppo
; sition to our participation in anything
: that smacked of Europe.
And now we find him introducing a
resolution requesting the President to
call another disarmament , and eco
nomic conference. He is the man who
, is frying to get the United States to
•take an interest again in European as-.
Lxgirs. He lias seen that the United
f<.sttrfo3~~caynot 4tyt* alone, 2
if .And President Harding and his ad
risers and leaders have seen the same
thing. In asking the Senate not to
adopt the Borah resolution President
i Harding points out that its adoption
would “tie liis hands’* in other nego
tiations Jae has for aiding
other words, the President and the
Republican leaders-are not opposed to
aiding Europe, but they want to? do it
in manner already planned by/them,
j This change of heart, or rather this
admission of a desire.to help Europe,
had to come. It wa§ always foolish
to talk about the United States living
alone jttnd leaving Europe to solve
her problems alone. We are too close--
ly allied with the European countries,
whether we want to lie or not. and the
policies outlined and suggested by
Woodrow Wilson when he was presi
dent of the United States will even
tually be adopted. The Republicans
may change their names and outward
appearances, lmt the essentials will be
the same, and this is done
the better off will every country be.
w TO FIGHT BOLL WEEVIL.
Next -month in North Carolina there
will begin a determined campaign to
- exterminate or at least to check, the
boll weevil. The campaign will he
waged by the Division of Entomology
4t>f the Department of Agriculture. and
every section of the State interested
-■ is to be visited by experts who will
4 give facts a fid figures to aid the
farmers in their fight against the pest.
We have ceased to wonder whether
the weevil is here. We know that he
is, and we know too. that unless we
do something fie will be here next
l year in ev4n larger numbers. That is
Why the State Agricultural Depart
ment lias planned to wage" this cam
paign in. those counties which are in
terested. and the, success of the cam
}«iigii and the success against the
• weevil next season, we tliink, will he
determined solely by the farmers. We
lielieve much giaxl will result from
the campaign if the farmers will co
operate, but if they go about declaring
there is no weevil and making no ef
forts to combat liTiu, nothing will be
4: gained.
p An intensive speaking campaign is
the big* gun the department will turn
against weevil. The speakers will
men who know their business, men
who have had experience with the
Weevil and who have tried with suc
cess the combat methods they will
recommend. In addition to the speak
ing campaign other visits and timely
* guides on how to fight the weevil
If fl appear from the office of tie
[i f-ision of Entomology fr<re turn to
time during the growing season. The
newspapers will also co-oi)erate, and
• every possible agency will be used in
jan effort to aid the farmer in his
fight against the insect.
The Salisbury Post finds that “tests
made last season by the Division pi
Entomology show that the standard
method of dusting with calcium arsen
ate for weevil control is “profitable
when done according to directions.
The results of hiany demonstrations
conducted by W. Bruce Xlabee and
Franklin Sherman show than an av
erage expenditure of .$3.50 per acre on
control methods gave an average net
profit of over $23 per acre. This gives
a solid basis for extension work by
county agents, thinks Mr. Sherman,
lmt he states also that emphasis must
be placed on the liest cultural meth
ods for growing cotton whether the
poison method Ts to be used or not.”
We are after the boll weevil in
North Carolina and if we continue
our determined efforts we will suc
cessfully light him.
SHOULD RECOGNIZE SOUTH.
Senator Harris, of Georgia, has
started something in Congress and we
hoi»e his efforts will bring results.
The Georgia Senator points out to
Congress and the public the fact that
no Southern man is a member of eith
er the United _States Supreme Court
or the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion, two of the most important
branches of our national government.
And he wants sufficient pressure
brought to bear upon the appoint
ing powers to cause recognition of this
important but wilfully neglected sec
tion of our great nation.
We believe the American public will
at once reedgnize the just claims be
ing made by Senator. < Harris for
Southern representation in all’ import
ant branches of the government. The
I South has enough able men. and pol
ities alone ha 4 kept the Southern men
i from securing the places they deserve.
The New England politicians would
like to keep the South from getting
anything, and so far they have been
successful in many ways. The Demo
cratic. South has been given little rec
ognition by the Republicans, and this
alone accounts for the fact that the
Southern States have no representa
tion-in every important branch of our
government.
It will be a happy and helpful day
when public officials in the United
States are chosen" for merit rather
than for polities.
* .
LITTLENESS.
Think of men being big enough to
be elected to the Senate of the United
States and then being too little to
vote “aye” when a resolution express
ing pleasure at the recovery of for
mer President Woodrow Wilson was
introduced in the Senate. It is- no
wonder we are getting nowhere with
our legislation in Washington when
men with such a streak of “littleness”
are elected to the high office of Unit
ed States Senator.
These men are political enemies of
Mr. Wilson, to be sure, but by their
action they as much as declared that
they are sorry lie is recovering. That
attitude is liard to understand in any
one, and especially when it is found
in a man who is supposed to be high
ly cultured and civilized. By refus
ing to vote when the resolution was
introduced they are good as told the
world how they hate the former Pres
ident. They showed the world that
hatred and fear, of the war President
has choked the human instincts
in them until they are not even glad
.Mr. Wilson is not to lose his life.
We repeat this spirit of littleness
in a man big to Ik* elected to
the United States Senate is something
we can't understand,
NORTH CAROLINA COTTON.
According to the latest report of
the Census Department of the Federal
Government prior to December 13th
there had been 10,948 bales of cotton
ginned in Cabarrus County. During
the same period last year 8,722 bales
were ginned against 8,973 bales last
year. The report for Itowan County
shows 8.914 bales this year and 5,302
bales last year, awl in Stanly county
this year 7,356. bales were ginned
against 6.033 last year. Mecklen
burg is the 'only county in this im
mediate section which shows a loss
of cotton this year. The total balqs
ginned this year amounted to 20.225
and last year 21,885- bales were gin
ned. The totals are based on figures
counting round bales as half bales and
not counting linters.
It was generally predicted before
the cotton crop was ginned that this
year’s crop would -be less than last
year, but a survey of the entire
States shows just the opposite condi
tion'prevailed. There are some coun
ties, to be sure, where the reduction
was most noticeable,, hut the State Us I
a whole shows an increase over last
year. The total number of bales gin
ned last year was 767.150 against a
total this year 0K830,410.
The biggest increases made In any
counties were in Harnett and John- {
ston. In the former 32,538 bales were
ginner this year against 24,465 last
year, and in the latter 57,525 hales
were ginned against 46,963 last year.
The largest decrease/'was noted in
Robeson County. Last year this coun
ty produced 61,770 bales and this year
it produced hut 44,750 bales. In Co
lumbus County there was also a big
decrease, from 4,460 bales in 1921 to
527 bales in 1922. , Other counties
showing a decrease this year were
Wilson, Union, Scotland, Sampson 1 ,
Pitt, Perquimans, Pender, Pamplico,
Onslow. Lenoir, Jones, Greene, Duplin,
Craven and Anson.
It is interesting to note that prac
tically every county which produced
less cotton in 1922 than in 1921 lies
either in the eastern belt of the State
or near tlie South Carolina line. In
both sections the boll weevil was more
active-than in the western counties.
The low price paid for cotton in 1921
alsso influenced many farmers to cut
down their acreage this year.
GAVE HIM A BETTER KNOWL
EDGE OF OUR SECTION.
The Tribune and Times recently
printed a series of ten page articles
setting forth the advantages of Con
cord and Cabarrus county to prospect
ive settlers. Quite a number of copies
of these papers were stuff to people
in various states who were inquiring
for a place *to locate, the list *l>eing
furnished us by the industrial depart
ment of the, Southern Railway. We
hifve received 'several acknowledg
ments. the latest one being as
lows:
Mr. J. B. Sherrill,
Concord, X. C.
Dear Sir: Your letter of the 13tli
inst. and package of papers arrived
just as 1 \yas leaving for the Smith. 1
appreciate your sending them to me.
and they gave me a better and great
er knowledge of the opportunities in
North Carolina. However, ns l hqve
lived before in North Carolina. alon?t

I went hack among my old friends
and neighbors. \
I congratulate you upon the spirit
that prompted Vmi to send me the pa
pers and letter, and I trust that with
in the coming year I too may be lo
cated in North Carolina and doing my
bit toward making an already good
place better' and more prosperous.

BETTER BUSINESS FOR 1923 I
<
By (\ B. Wagoner, lYesident of Tlie
Citizens Bank and Trust Company.
Nineteen Twenty Two has been
a . year of steady and substantial!
progress and the Ne.w Year finds
business generally in that not readily-!
definable condition which, for lack of'
a better \Vord, we are accustomed to
call normal. Here in America we
know flint normal business means good
business.
And times should be still better in
1923 although, perhaps, hardly all that
we might have hoped. TUere is no
mystery about the reasons for it.
The farmers, of the United States
who, with their dependents represent
more than one-third tlie nation's buy
ing power, are in greatly improved
condition. Good crops have lfft a
comfortable surplus for export, and
overseas demands assure a fair return
for their produce. They are liquidat
ing old debts—thus making money
easier; and their purchases after two
lean years are stimulating manufac
turing and merchandising in every
corner of the land.
Unemployment, which not many
months ago threatened to offer a really
serious problem has almost vanished
and we hear rumors of a developing
lalior shortage. Xloreover. the years
of depression have driven home tlieir
salutary lessons: extravagance is far
less apparent in every walk of life, and
ordered economy—-the essential basis
of any enduring prosperity—is bearing
its usual fruit. 4
• But. despite the premise which the.
situation holds, are still factors
which must lie taken jiffy considera
tion and w’hieji will, in some measure,
retard the forward march of business.
'The Nation’s labor problem, for in
j stance, seems as.far as every from real
solution, and neither legislative action
nor business ingenuity bag yet found
an answer satisfactory to all concerned.

Maximum prosperity which is the only 1
kind which should interest us, cannot
be hoped for relations he.-
tween employer and employee are
stabilized on a basis that both will ap- j
prove, until both manifest a genuine
desire to be. fair, not only with each (
other, but with the public which is 1
necessarily the greatest sufferer when \
they disagree. !
Moreover, present restrictions upon (
immigration, however admirable the
motive which inspired tlufn, appear to j
hold the threat of a serious handicap
to American industry. Agitation for
remedial legislation is growing and not
the least of our National responsibili
ties is that of develofffng a sane, bus
iness-like policy in contrast to one
governed by half baked idealism.
But the biggest obstacle in the path
of the Nation's business is the Euro
j pean situation, for we can never hope
for the best business here until there
is good business there. European bus
iness is sick, and it will l>e years be
fore it hi genuinely healthy again;The
one encouraging thing about it is that
convalescence is progressing, since ev
ery gain made overseas will be re
flected in our situation at home.
These deterrent factors, however,
cannot justify pessimism on the part
of any American business* man. The
New Year is to be a good year for all
of us—letter than 1922 or 1921—in
finitely better than the years of fever- '
isli inflation which followed the'great
war. Men will go carefully about
* their business, watching the corners
for- opportunities to economize, ex
panding - their operations cautiouslv,
knowing that there is profitable busi
ness to be had, but realizing at the
same time that such business will go
‘only to those who deserve it on a '
sound, competitive basis,

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW
New York. Dec. 2D.v-Ncw high rec
ords prices for the season have been
established iu the cotton market
during. the last week. Evidently the
absorption of pre-holiday offerings,
had left very few sellers around the
ring and when the market reopened
for business after Christmas it was
very responsive to buying orders.
These came from the trade as well as
from operators who appeared anxious
to replace contracts sold previously,
and fresh buying was stimulated by
the strong showing of Liverpool when
the market tlie/e reopened on Wednes
day morning. As a result, both the
active springs months sold above, the j
27 cent level, with May selling at
27.10 or the highest price touched by
any delivery since the beginning of
tiie season.
This made an advance of very nearly
three cents per pound as compared
with the low prices reached on the
early month reaction, and evidently at-j
tracted considerable, realizing. This !
was promoted by less favorable views
of the foreign political situation and i
gave the market a wither unsettled up- j
pea ranee toward the end of the week.
Offerings, however, were sufficiently,
well taken on reactions’ of some 45 .
or 50 points to maintain ji steady un- j
dertone and at the close, of business j
tonight most market opinions heard |
among local traders included expres
sions of confidence in ultimate values.
This appeared to lie based upon the
bullish view of the statistical position,
favorable reports from the«,domestle j
cotton goods markets and a belief that j
