STARTED AT LAST. ■ v While the business men who organ ised the Concord Realty Company have . made no definite announcement yet rel ative to a new hotel for Concord, their action in preparing. to purchase the St. Cloud Hotel property lends strength to —insistent rumors that this city before very long will have better hotel I'at-jli f tit's. Reports that have not-been Ver ified, but which nevertheless come from . apparently reliable sources, insist that, the property is being purchased with a new or at least modern hotel as I* the end in view, and while it may take the c-oippany a year to get their plans set for the new hostelry, it is general ly believed that the new owners will r lose no time in getting plans in shape '* j to give this city such hotel accommo- j dations as it needs. We think- Hit- promoters of this un-! dertaking desVrw the co-operation of every man and woman in the city who cures anything about the growth of Concord. A new hotel is one of the direst needs of the city today, and any action that indicates progress securing one should meet with hearty support. We think, too, that the promoters of H the project are wise in asking for small subscriptions from many people. We believe the money could be raised easily among the znen who have al ready subscribed stock in the company, but the project will be more success ful if it can interest a large number of people, and for that reason no one has been asked to subscribe more than SI,OOO and no one has subscribed more than $2,000. v If the purchasers of the hotel prop ip erty can get aliout 40 or 45 citizens of the city behind a movement for -a new hotel, and get the hotel, we be lieve it will always be a good one, so i , far as the equipment, and building r are concerned. We haven't had a real hotel here in many years, and the fatf that forty or more men are willing to put their earnings into a hostelry -ehows without doubt the need lor one here. We are not soliciting funds for the company, but the proposition appeals to us so that we would like to urge persons who can afford to, to give their financial endorsement tie the un is dertaking.' It means something to the city, ami is a civic proposition rather than a financial oue. NEW JUDICIAL DISTRICTS. "j: It seems that this State will get * . four new judicial districts as a result |f, : , /of the compromise between the advo cates of. a bill calling for 4?eveii new districts and Opponents of such a lull. jL who have, however, favored putting pt' solicitors on a fiat salary. LegLsjß px tors whq favored the seven ucw dis tricts, in the. State, opposed the salary i "Dili, it seems, while opponents of the l *. ’salary bill for the greater part were opposed to tlie judicial bill. And now | Ttaleigh reports say there will be a compromise calling for four ucw dis- tricts. • p' Th:s*.uiatler is ouc that has receiv ed much attention by the legislators aud the public generally. The Bar As sociation of the State last year approV ed the bill calling for seven new dis , tricts, but this bill received such op- P position from, its birth that it never really had much ebauce to get through. There are some people who will stand for the four additional districts but who would have fought the bin cnll 'V' . 1 1 in,? for GGveu until (lib last Ob thr other hand, the strongest supporters 1 of the seven district plan have seen the attitude of the general public and they are accepting the four districts, with, a hope of getting the other three later. It certainly seems that four new districts should bo enough, at legist until they are Dried and found want ing. When the Legislature meets again in 1925 it will be possible to de termine. the good that has resulted from the- four new districts, and if the necessity for three more districts can be pointed out then, we say cre ate them.' . /< . * What we would like to see is more work in the present districts first and then if the necessity for new districts still arises, create them. Our courts under the present system work about half (if the time. That's one of the principal reasons nothing is done, and the calendars get congested. And i there are many, many gases that cduld be disposed of if persons interested in them did not deliberately stall for time. BUSINESS CONDITIONS. There are few things that give a better insight into business conditions than the status of the railroads, and reports just issued in Railroad Data show that th<‘ rail systems are enjoy ing almost unprecedented business at the present time. While every phase of*the rail business is a true barome ter of general conditions, freight ings are especially * important in de termining business t status', and TGe Age shows that ear loadings for the week ended February 19 show traffic continues at record levels. During the* week loading of revenue freight totalleijj 853,289 ears. This was not only m -yontarnation of the unusually heavy loadings for this season of the year, which lias been in evidence for some uibnths. but exceed ed all corresponding weeks for past years on record. The total for flit 1 week was 75,498 cars in excess of the same week last year and exceeded the same week ip 1921 to 165,422 cars. Due Riiucipally to severe weather conditions in vari ous parts of the country, the total, however, was a decrease of 12,386 cars with the preceding week this year. Coal loadings, loading* off grain and grain product,* forest products, mer chandise and miscellaneous freight I were included in the articles handled, and As these are articles list'd in ex cess when business conditions are un : usually good, the report shows that 1923 continues to move along with every prospect for a year better in ev ery was than 1922. JUST WHAT HE EXPECTED. The fate of Earle Remingfon, Los Angeles man who was a public engi neer afid according to his wife, a pri vate bootlegger, is hot ■* surprising when one considers his avocation. Ac cording to the police of Los Angeles, they have found one man who operat ed stills for Remington and a number of other men purchase? whis key from him when he was operating “society“ hooch peddler, and his wife admitted, the police add, that he sdld much liquor to Los Angeles “Four Hundred.” People who engage in such traffic should expect no better fate than that accorded Remington. lie was dealing with men of the underworld all of the time; he was operating with men who care nothing for life when it in terferes with some-of their plans, lie) was flirting with death all of the time, and according to another statement of liis wife,, who said he seeuled nervous and frightened for a week before his death, probably was expecting bodily harm. There are people who “get by” vfilli the selling of hooch and other viola tions of the law, but there are many of them who pay dearly, too, and the number in the latter class is ki*reas iug. JSEEIKG~HIS MISTAKES. Harding, acting with the support of Secretary of State Hughes, ha#'addressed a letter to the Senate asking that body for authority for the United States to be officially reprb ; seated on the International Court set up by the League, of Nations. The request of Mr. Harding has been sup ported by some of the most influen tial Republicans, in Congress, and | while in undoubtedly will receive crit icism aiid-Jnml knocks, it is expected to be granted. in asking the Senate to give him authority to appoint a representative, to the court. Mr. Raiding,points out that the action will not “entangle” the United States ;pid adds that participa tion in the tribunal offered an oppor tunity through phiebK. the United States could demonstrate is willing ness to aid in preserving world sta , bility without in anjr manner assum ing “any legal relations to the League.” Is Mr. Harding having a change of heart? Have the real leaders among the Republicans at last seen the light? A* . \ . > V'.--;.: This time last year and the year b< -1 fore. Mr. Harding and his followers dec-la red we had nothing in coinpon with Europe. The “stability of tin world'’ wits none of our business. It was not up to us to take an interest in Straightening out the greatp mess Europe, has made of things. \yny this change? James M. Cox, Democratic Presiden tial nominee in 1920, states that the President’s another triumph of public opinion in American affairs,” and “a demonstration of the power of our religious thought, when aroused and organized.” That seems to cover the case pretty well. When the Dem ocrats immediately after the war talk ed of signing in the League many peo ple. in the United States raised their voices in protest. They didn’t, object to the league so much; they were just opposed to anything that might lead to another conflict. So we started the policy of “hands off” and as a result the European countries .are, in the greatest mess they have. knoSvn for years. We think the Senate should grant the request of Mr. Harding. We feel sure, that the Democrats in that body will support the request, and with Secretary and a few more propinent Republicans behind it.. G. O. IV leaders in the Senate, should get it through. The request of Mr. Harding for the right to,Juke gmrt in intenffitional as-s fairs, regardless of the manner or dis guise in which he. would do it. is the most encouraging sign coining thus far from the present national admin istration. NOW IS THE TIME TO GIVE. Conditions in the Near East have, never been more appalling than they are now. The recent victories and massacres by the Turks have left the Armenians in terrible* shape,—and their living during the next few months de pends largely upon the generosity of Americans. But in spite of tin* seriousness of tin* situation and the fact that the Armenians are almost wholly without means of making a living, it docs not cost much to keep the orphans and beg garly people alive. Five dollars a month will feed and clothe an orphan and make life possible for them. There are hundreds of people in this county who can easily give $5 a month, or $69 a year, for this great cause. \The. campaign for the Near East Relief' was officially opened in, county yesterday. If you have not Al ready made a pledge fo£ this year, prepare to make one. now, for during this week you will be given opportun ity to subscribe to this most worthy cause. Now is. the time to give if you would keep alive one, of the souls un able to provide for itself. NEWSPAPER EDITOR TELLS ABOUT HIS CONVERSION Captain Sul lens, of Mississippi, Speaks at Presbyterian Laymen’s I Meeting. Jacksonville. Fla. Feb: 21«- ?

The state now has 20 districts. The house has passed the Warren i Connor .hill p acing the solicitors on a salary, and the house is reported willing to give the state four Niew judicial districts.

Raleigh, Feb. so many varieties of cotton to choose rrom. ''one finds it difficult to decide which is best for this section or farm, states Dr. R. Y. Winters, plant breeding agronomist for the North Carolina Experiment Station. He says that many cotton growers change varieties every few years in search of some thing totter* and in most cases this practice has been like searching for gold at the end of the rainbow. He says, “Frequent changes in the varie ties of cotton has cost the North Carolina farmer thousands of dollars {for ipffrior se:d 'and many times more in low production and poor qity of lint. So long as these changes,.take place, we can never ex pect to establish production of uniform cotton or find good markets for our produce. Rock Ford, Colorado, did not become famous for its uni formity and quality of cantaloupes iby : having each grower produce a tUf- Jferent variety. Kalamazoo, vycfcigan, I could never have gained its reputa tion for good celery if each grower | had produced a kind. The apples of Hood River Valley would | not se 1 on our markets at five and ten cents a piece if they did not pay 1 attention to uniformity of their pro duce. Neither can we iff North Caro lina expect to g°t the most from our cotton production until one uniform variety is established in each com munity or county and grown there ’continuously. i “We have been told so many times that our State didn’t have the right l kind of"■sail to produ e the best j quality of cotton that we have begun ito heiieve ( it. ourselves. Such state | ments have hen made either through ignorance or for the purpose of buying our cotton cheaper. If we use im proved varieties of cotton and keep them pure, our soils will produce as good qua( ity cotton as is produced 'anywhere in the country. ■ “The Experiment Station and Ex tension Service of the State College and State Department of Agriculture lias had occasion to study more than 500 varieties of cotton during the past twelve years. These varities have j included the best tftht can be had in | the S uitly from. Texas to Virginia. 'Several of the best varieties have been ’tested in 105 communities of 37 coun ities of our State. This means that our j ordinary varieties of cotton have Deen j compared under field conditions with improved straijns in 105 communities of the State. These cottons were grown side by side and given the same treatment throughout the season. The yield ,of each variety was taken and the li’nt turn out and staple compared. From this is calculated money value per acre-for each ■' ariety. Since this work was started in 1913 the im proved varieties have averaged 191 pounds of tint per acre more than the ordjnarv seed usually used in rhe State.” ‘(c . ' 1 \ The varieties that have given this increased yield arid which are recom mended by Dp. Winters ifor use in North Carolina are Cleveland Big Boil, Mexican Big BoV and Edgecombe Cook. According to his tests. Cleve '•hind Big 801 l has yielded highest in the following counties: \Wake, Vrian • ville, Halifax, Hertford, Bertie, Cho wan, Edgecombe, Craven. Cleveland, j Iredell, Fender, Sampson, Bladen, ! Scotland Cumberland, and Onslow, j Mexican Big 801 l has yielded highest iin Johnston. Greene’ Edgecombe, ! Montgomery, Southerly Anson, Rich mond. Union, Rowan, Alamance, ’•Mecklenburg, and Rutherford. Edge combe Cook led in one test of Edge combe county :Tnd stands well where ever It has been tested. Dr Winters finds that-fy*eause ‘■of their low yield, poor quality of lint, and undersirable qualities under :boH» weevily conditions, cotton growers should discontinue the growth of cer-* tain varieties of cotton on the loam dp sandy chiy soils of the cottoif ’sections of our State. These varieties jure King, S mpkins, Rick’s, Medford, i Ruckers Select. Ingold. Sugar Loaf, Perry’s. Improved. Get-There-First, and Bcat-the-8011-Weevil. «*. " He Spoke Last. Competition was keen in the London street market. Two rivals were selling ready-made coats and things, and .each tried to undercut the other. “Look ’ere,” shouted the first, as a 5 brain wave struck hiip. “I tel yer I jam selling these coats rock bottom {prices.
