These men. most of them negroes, are charged with solic iting la I tor without paying a State li cense. and in every instance reported a fine lias been collected from or lev ied against the solicitors. Two ne groes were arrested hi Salisbury re-’ ceiTtly at the request t»f Concord of ficers and brought back here for trial on"charges of soliciting labor with out a license, and another case simi lar to the one here has been repelled in Greensboro. In South Carolina sev eral days ago a ,negro, charged with hiring other negroes to work in Bur lington,--N. was arrested and fined. The fact that' many negroes are leaving the South is responsible for the determined effort to stop the solic itation of labor in the South. In some parts of the South it is feared the shortage of negro labor will greatly hamper farm work and officers in those States'have instituted a search for solicitors that is getting results. While most of the laborers are Ik>- ing sent to northern cities practically all of the solicitors are Southern ne groes who are hired by white persons in the North. These northern white men are particular not to do their own soliciting. They are aware of the fact that most Sbites have a law requiring a license to solicit labor, and they want the Southern negroes to take the chance of lieing arrested. Hut a few more arrests will make it extreme ly hard to find a negro who is willing to take a chance and if the northern ers want any more laborers they will have to come in person to the South and do their own soliciting. NEED MORE PI RE BRED CATTLE. One Cabarrus farmer, who is inter ested both in the success of the Coun ty Fair and the Cabarrus farmers, has suggested that the fair officials get / somd reputable dealer in livestock to bring a car load of pure-bred rows to Concord for Hie county fair. Jle ex pressed the opinion that the sale of the cows would attract many people to the fair grounds and at the sajjie time would bring more fine cows to Ca barrus county. The suggestion seems a most timely one to us. Other counties surround ing Cabarrus are already well stocked - with pure-bred cows, byt persons who are familiar with the situation in this 1 county declare there are few real pure-bred cows in this county. One farmer was“tmygrd to remark that many people in Oabafrrus have no idea of the real between scrub stock' and puro-bred stock. Many people would not believe that there is such a great difference between the major ity of the cows in this county and the cows in Rowan, Mecklenburg and Gas ton .counties, this farmer said. Pure-bred cows have proved to be less costly than scrub cows in coun ties where they have been tested. Pur chasing -the best in coks is like pur chasing the best in any stock. The in itial cost/ is more, but the income on the investment is also more. These ''pure-bred cows give inure milk in one day than the average cow gives in two, according* to tests made by ex perts. It costs little more to keep them than a scrub. They eat no more, yet they give about twice as much milk and their milk is much richer than the milk from the average scrub ,' cow. t r 1 1 A live-stock display is certain to ,' play an important part in the County ■ Fair. ahd we think the suggestion of the farmer, that some fine cows be of fered for sale during the fair, is one I that should be given serious thought. WANT MOST MOST DIRECT ROAD. A number of citizens of No. 10 town ship have been in this office recently, and each of them lias expressed favor wirh our opinion that the" Cabarrus County road commission should build a road from the Cabarrus line to the Union line along tlie most direct route. This is the only logical way to build any road, we have maintained from tiie beginning, and though tlie road commission's policy lias not been an nounced we feel certain that when it is possible to do so. it will construct its roads along the most feasible | routes, in the straightest possible line at the least cost, regardless of wheth er or not the roads cross or run close to the farm of every farmer in the community. The road to No. JO lias been badly needed for several years, but hereto fore it lias been impossible to get the people of that township agreed on a route, and as a result nothing has been done. We hope the commission will make the building -of this road one of its first moves, and that it will put the road where the engineers say it should go. regardless of whose land it crosses or does not cross. The mon ey to be spent for the road comes from tlie pockets of the people and it is m>t right to sjipnd the people’s money for a circuitous road that is built that .way just because every man in the township wants his land enhanced by the road, ANOTHER BILL FOR GERMANY. While Uncle Sam was a little slow in gettirtg his bill ready for Germany he lias finally presented it. and tin Germans now have something more than reparations to talk about. Al though Uncle Sam was not in such a big hurry to get his bill in. he fi just as ‘determined as the other nations to collect it. Tiie bill is for $1,479,004,313.92. Os course it will take some time to make a settlement, for as The Charlotte Observer states “presenting a bill foi this amount to a bankrupt nation is one thing: collecting it is another.” Included in the bill is an item for $22,600,000 on account of the Lusi tania. Thomas A. Edison has a bill in the total foi $10,422 worth of prop erty in Germany which was destroyed and Henry Ford wants to collect $376.- 000 for the same reason. One of the biggest items is $255,544,810 for main tenance of the American Army of oc cupation. In presenting the hill the United States makes it plain that Germany is held responsible for this bill regard less of any terms of the Versailles Treaty. In fact. Uncle Sam contends thaUthis bill is to be considered sepa rately from all other war hills, and is not even included in the reparations money demanded of Germany. TIIE NEW ASSOCIATE JUSTICE. The appointment of Hon. Hcriot (’lark son. of Charlotte, to the State Supreme Court by Governor Cameron Morrison did not come as a great surprise to tlie Slate. Ahnost coincident with the death of former Associate Walker came rumors of his successor and even tlie first of these rumors carried tin* name of the new Associate Justice. It was general ly felt that tin* successor to Mr. Walker would collie from Mecklenburg, as he was appointed from that county, and this made tlie name of Mr. Clarkson to be mentioned with the Judgeship at once. The Governor, it seemed, could not at first decide between Mr. Clarkson and Mr. T. C. Guthrie. Saturday morning, howev er, Mr. Guthrie wired tiie Governor, ask ing the Chief Executive not to consider him longer, and a short while afterward Mr. Clarkson was appointed. Mr. Clarkson has been practicing law in Charlotte for more than 25 years. He has enjoyed a fine practice ami at the same time lias gained the confidence and friendship of his associates and neigh bors. Mr. Clarkson began tlie study of law shortly after the close of the Civil War and he worked and struggled hard and long during those terrible years to get some knowledge of law. He fought with the Democrats through all their conflicts with she carpetbaggers, later wore a red shirt and always has been regarded as a man who stands for right on every question. He has been for prohibition from the beginning, and in every instance lias stood for right against might or evil. Raleigh correspondents of i4ort.li Car olina newspapers declare Governor Mor rison lias received a large number of congratulatory messages from all parts of the State for liis decision in ap pointing Mr. Clarkson to the highest Court. HAVE MADE GOOD. Those High - School. students who have had the Gold and Black in charge have made good on the job, and for the past several months they have been giving the School students, and others a publication that ranks witn the best, pub lished by any High School, in Nbrth Car olina In fact many people in Concord when shown a copy of The Gold and Black for the first time are frank in ad mitting they are surprised that such a paper can' be edited and gotten up by students in the local High School. It has taken hard work on the part of the editors, reporters and business managers, but we feel that the excellent paper should fully repay them for all their ef forts. The advertisers who contributed to the publication are to be congratulated also. They gave financial and moral aid, and gave them when they were needed most. We shall expect Gold and Black during the second year of its fife to continue the excellent work begun during the past year. Dr. W. P. McGlotlilin, President of Furman University, this week declin ed to accept a $2,000 raise in salary voted by the directors of/the school. The President declared lie would not accept salary raise because lie knew Furman needed the $2,000 in many other ways that in liis opinion would mean more to the institution. this decision was made by Dr. Me- Glothlin in spite of the fact that ho is remaining in Greenville to direct the affairs of Furman at a financial sac rifice, lie having received several of fers last year from several colleges that pay more to their President than does Furman. This is a wonderful spirit and Furman is certain to continue to grow under tlie leadership of a man' who puts service above money. The Allies and tlie* Turks have been back to Lausanne, and this time the former did uot have so much trouble in dealing with the latter. Tl*e Turks dur ing the past several months seem to have learned that the allies were becoming tired of threats and plots, and when 'France was told several months ago that the Turks were about through with her -as a financial “angel," she seemed to line up more strongly with the allies, thus making the position of the Turks less tenable. If France had stuck with the Allies at the’ first Lausanne confer ence more good would have been accomp lished then. DEATH TAKES HEAVY TOLL OF RAILWAY PASSESE Death Overtook 129 Persons in 1922 While Trespassing on Southern Rail way Property. Atlanta? Ga., May 25. —Death over took 12P persons while trespassing on tin* property of tin* Southern Railway system during 1922. While walking tracks. 90 trespassers were killed and <52 injured. 39 were killed and 91 injured while stealing rules or “hopping" train* and Is*1 s * were injured in miscellaneous accidents. According to a preliminary report of the Interstate Commerce Commission. 2.431 (trespassers wen* killed ami 2.845 injured on the railways o? the United SUites in 1922. Even this heavy sacri fice,of life and limb to carelessness is an improvement over past years. In the fifteen-year period from 1901 to 1915. deaths and injuries to trespas sers on American railways averaged 10,73(5 per year. As a pfrt of its effort to discourage trespassing ou its property, tin* South ern is enlisting the aid of school teach ers in pointing out to children the grave danger of this practice. A very large proportion of the t respassers killed and injured have been School children. Wage earners, walking to and from their work on tracks, have also con tribute*.! a largo proportion. Tin* popular impression that a large percentage of the trespassers killed on railways are tramps is shown to be en tirely erroneous by figures' compiled by the Southern from its records running over a period of years. VIRGINIA POSTMASTER IS IN HIS lOOTII YEAR Puts Alabama’s 93-Year-Old Postal C ustodian Wholly in Shade. Washington, I). C., May 25.—When the 93-year-old postmaster at Cale donia Ala., set up the claim that he \fas the oldest living custodian of it post office in the United States fie thought lie had clear sailing and was not letting himself in for an argument. His bubble has hurst, for Davis J. Tavernier, postmaster at Philmonf, Va.. about 50 miles from the national cap ital, is 99- years of age. and does riot consider tlie Alabama rival in liis class. Tavernier has been postmaster at Philmont for 30 years, except for a break of four years between 1N93 and 1897. He tendered his resignation in 1915. hut withdrew it when the pa trons of, tin* office sent in- a petition urging liis reappointment. New 801 l Weevil Killer Discovered. Atlanta Constitution. A boll weevil destroyer which prom ises to revolutionize cotton growing, con ditions in the south, has been perfected by Prof. W. B. (’ox, president of (’ox College, who also operates a large cot ton plantation in Bulloch county, Ala bama. Prof. Cox. who is a graduate of Au burn arid Cornell universities, and a widely known chemist, lias been con ducting experiments for several years in an effort to perfect practical and ef fective poison and combatting the boll weevil. That liis process is a success is proved, he states, by the fact that he has used it on liis own 1.800-acre plantation for the last two yeaijs and has been able to grow cotton under tlie same normal conditions that existed before this sec tion of the country became infested with tlie weevil. In addition to this demonstration, his statement is give:# added weight by a number of letters from other farmers, who have tried it successfully and who give the method their enthusiastic en dorsement. The Cox 801 l Weevil Destroyer is a soluble poison, applied in liquid forms by means a . spray, r The spraJtiug inoculates the plant with * forms a gas two and one-half ! times heavier than air. This gas cloud,'en shrouds the cotton fields and instantly kills the weevil breathing it.

' THE CDNCORD>TIMES The South Is Moving Forward From the Dawn of the Sunrise of Prosperity to the Meridian Splendor Ahead I Manufacturer’s Record, i The progress of the South iu material I and educational lines, is given in the , Blue Book of Southern Progress, a 2i2 j Page handbook of the South, just issued j by the Manufacturers Record, has been I surprisingly great. In nearly*all lines of human progress, the South today with 36.000.000 inhabitants is far and away ahead of the United States in 1880 with 50.000,000 inhabitants. In summing up the facts to prove the foregoing state ment the following extracts are taken from the Blue Book Os Southern Prog ress : x * "In very manywespects the South of today is in advance of the Unite*! States in 1900, and in some respects as late as 1910. All that it has achieved is mere ly tlie beginning of the foundation work for the future upbuilding. “Tin* South of today lias $4,000,000,- 000 more of capital invested in manu facturing than the United States had in 1880. “The capital invested in its cotton mills is five times as great as the capital so invested in the entire country in 1880. "The production of pig iron is nearly equal to that of the country at that time, ,*111(1 the output of coal is more than double the total production of the coal mines of this country at that time. The production of coal ih the Soutfo last year was 158.000,000 tons as’ compared with 71.000,000ttous for five United States in 1880. "The value of the South’s agricultural products last year was $5,291.000,000, wjiieh is a striking contrast to the $2,- 212,000.000 which represented the total value of the agricultural products of the United States -in 1880. “Tiie South’s railroad mileage is al most exactly that of the United States in 188(1. and the value of its exports exceeds by $500,000,000 the total exports of the United States in 1880. "1 non public school education the South expended in 1920 $204,000,000. as compared with $78,000,000. tlie total amount expended by the United States upon pjiblic school education in 1880. j Between 1914 and 1920 the South ex- j act y doubled its expenditures upon pub- ! iic education, and the progress of the last : two years in that respect lias been great- i cr than in any two preceding years in j its history. “Next to the expenditure upon public ! schools probably no other material de- : yelopment is more indicative of increas- ■ mg wealth than the rapid and substan- j tial growth of tlie life insurance business j of the South, that is. through the estab- i lishmenf and successful mauagomenr of j many local life insurance companies. . i The rapidity of the growth of home in-j sura nee is indicated by the fact that | Southern companies had ,in force in the* South in 1921 over $1,744,000,000 of j life insurance. or*:in increase over 1904 1 of 6.358 per cent. "The value of farm property in the ; South quarnph'd between 1909 and 1920 i vising from $5,202.000..000 in 1900 to $21.685.0000.000 in 1920. "Tlie value of farm buildings during the same period advanced from $885,000- 000 to $3,277,000,000. while the value of farm implements and machinery in the ! South rose from $206.000.0000’ in 1900 1 to $902,000,000 in 1920. "1n\1920 the South had $153,000,000! more invented in agricultural implements and machinery fhati the United States j had in 19000. Probably nothing else I in the whole range of Southern activities! is more indicative bf the advance of' Southern agriculture than that this see- ! 'ion should now have in farm implements j and machinery so large an amount in i excess of what the entire country had in 1900 when its population was more than double that "f the South today. “The - total deposits in national and -date banks, including trust companies and savings hanks, in the South in 1900 amounted to $681,000,000. Tn 1922 these deposits aggergated $6,273,000,000. or almost ten times as much as twenty years ago. “In 1910, or twelve years ago. the LARGE HAUL OF LIQUOR IS MADE AT GASTONIA Throe Hundred Quart* of Bottled in Bond and New Packard Car Taken as Booty. Gastonia, (May 24.—The largest sin gle consignment of bootleg liquor ever taken in Gastonia was seized here latftjhis afternoon by Officer Hoard, city police force, in a local garage. Three hundred quarts of bottled in bond Scotch whiskey and Gordon’s dry gin and brand new Packard six was the booty that fell to the alert officer. The car hero a Georgia license. A negro driver who was with me car. was arrested. Two white men got wind of the officer’s coming and made their escape. In the car were two loaded revolvers and a 25-35 Savage rifle wirh a full chamber. Tlie whiskey was all neatly done up in individual packages wrapped with neat straw coverings. The entire back part of the Packard was filled. The negro says the men fucked him up in Spartanburg, S. C. Ho said, however, that Savannah, Ga., was his home.

That paper urges that the idea of the .develop ment of the Linville territory imp a state park should materialize. Tlie Morganton paper further cites an Article in “Natural Resources,” ’the publication of the North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey, en titled. '“State .Must Save Natural Beauty For Common Sense.” vThe artie’e cited is very interesting, and, no doubt, does not exaggerate uin vilie Mountain and Linville Gorge, but we just wanted to say ithis, if the State really wants a state park in the most beautiful spot located within ts borders, or located iwunin the bordersjo? any other state in the unioti, -for matter, it can find thaUplace in the Uwharrm Mountains of Eastern Stanly ' and ‘Western Montgomery.

Walker as associate justice of the tyrtli Carolina Supreme Court, Gov ernor Morrison today narrowed the field of candidates and suggested can didates, hut gave no indication as to who lie will appoint or when lie will make the appointment. The majority of the recommenda tions which are pouring in upon the chief executive from all paYts of the state by letter and telegram are for Heriof Clarkson, but the tide for T. C. Guthrie, also of Charlotte,, rose higher this afternoon. While Mr. Guthrie’s recommenda tions-are coming almost exclusively from lawyers/ the recommendations for Heriot Clarkson come from the bar and lay citizens. Governor Morrison, who was today too ill to ciime to the office, received his mail at the mansion and tonight stated that he had not yet given the matter as much consideration as would warrant an appointment.

SAFETY FIRST IS SLOGAN ' OF RAILWAY COMPANIES ' Campaign to Eliminate Grade Crossing Accidents Being Conducted by Am erican Railway Association. "Cross Crossings Carefully*’ is the • advice given the public by the Ameri ;'can Railway Association in its cam paign to eliminate accidents at grade I crossings throughout the United ! States. Posters depicting the inevit able results of driving carelessly across grade Crossings are being dis played throughout the country by the railroads, and other propaganda, cal culated td make the motorist careful, is being circulated by the association. In a pamphlet recently issued by flic fissoeiatimf it is pointed out that in the last five years 9,101 persons were killed and 24.208 injured in grade crossings. Most the accidents involved the auto. 1 The association members admit that the ideal solution of the problem is the elimination of grade-crossings, hut this is a gigantic undertaking and is not humanly pos sible in one generation with 251,500 grade level crossings to he eliminated on the (lass 1 roads alone. There is an average of 485 crossings eliminated each year hut this number makes only a slight dent in the total it was pointed out. With an average cost of $50,000 for each crossing, it would require $12,500,000,000, all of which would be 11011-revenue produc ing to do away with the present exist ing crossings. Rut. continues the statement, "a sub stantial and immediate remedy can he found elsewhere. Its simplicity en courages hope of attainment. Its prac ticability warrants efforts. It is just a matter of using common care upon the highway. There are duties devolv ing upon the railroads in, indicating the presence of railroad-highway cross ings, keeping such crossings in good condition for travel, and seeing to it that railroad employes do their full duty in warning of the approach of trains. "A literal, conscience-satisfying ob servance of this rule of ‘cross cross ings carefully/ by drivers of and pas sengers in automobiles will undoubt edly save lhfes. To repeat the slogan smoothly one must think clearly and i act. cautiously. By so doing you will! actively co-operate in a worthy cause.” Five rules have been suggested for the observance of the rule:.Slow down , when approaching any crossing, look ' both wjiys and listen to ascertain if a I train is approaching, lie particularly ! careful where there are two or more tracks because of trains in opposite di- j rections. exercise good conservative judgment at crossings, and in case of doubt take the safe course and stop j before reaching, the track. THE STATE FAIR To Be Held This Year October 15-19. ] Plans Now Well Underway. Raleigh, May 20. —The dates of the I sixty second North Carolina State Fair 3 are October 35-19.
