Victims of Cupid’s infallible aim at York during the seven days include the following Kannapolis couples: Lonnie Daniels, of this city, and Lucy Redmon, of Jennings; Pearl Hobbs and Sarah Hunsucker, Boyd Mottsinger, of this city, and Ethel Chappell, of Winston-Salem. Eugene Wrenn and Sam Nash, the latter vice commander of the local post, returned yesterday from the American Legion convention at Wash ington, N. C. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Query, Sr., and small son, Sam, Jr., have gone to Wrightsville Beach, whert they pass the remainder of the week. Mrs. Mary Price, after visiting Mrs. Rosa Norfleet at her home near Con cord for the past several days, has re turned to her home at Winston-Salem. Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Rollins and daughter Iva Dell are spending sev eral days at Wilmington. Roy C. Propst, Sr., and A. L. Brown have returned from a business mission to New York. pear.” Twenty-seven years ago, he con tinued, he had called attention to this sepsi in the realm of nervous disorders as presented in neuritis, neurasthenias, mental depressions, so-called nervous att&pks or nervous breakdowns. After twenty year* fe response to his call had come. Tt> ||Rd come first in 1919 to 1923 from Dr. Cotton in America. Dr. Cotton’s Work- Dissatisfied, after some fifteen with the results he obtained, Dr. Cotton began from 1918 onward an attack on the whole field of the sep sis presented by 1,400 cases. The result was that he doubled the number of his discharges and re duced the average stay in hospital from ten months to three months. If means be made available to carry out and follow Dr. Cotton’s substantial and not merely specula tive work psychiatrists would make another large contribution of impor tance far beyond its own special sphere of mental hygiene and relieve a group of patients of an insidious form of influenza. The discovery of the part played by sepsis in mental disorder intro duced an entirely new era into the whole subject. ‘‘The sufferer from mental dis order,” he went on, “cannot afford to have any such sepsis unregarded. He is playing for the highest stakes —the preservation of his brain pow er and his sanity. He can run no risks. Possible Great Results. “The possible standard of increas ed relief which this class of sufferer may receive is that their chances of recovery may be doubled; that the duration of their stay in hospital may be materially reduced, and that on discharge their chances of re maining well, both physically and mentally, will be greatly improved by the removal of the sepsis which 'they previously carried, if that re moval is carried out at the first on set of his trouble before permanent damage is done. “But it is in the realm of preven tion that this new application of antisepsis will find its greatest triomphs. namely, the cutting short of all sorts and degrees of nervous and mental disturbances that in most cases precede and herald the onset of the graver mental disorders.” Sir Berkeley Moynihan, the fam ous surgeon, said: “It Is no use for the alienists to say that this story is and consequently untrue. “Many things that are' uncredit able prove, in fact to be profoundly true. Nor is it any use saying every body has dental infection but is not insane, for there you come tip against the problem of immunity. “Looking back over thirty years of practice I am able to say that the removal of an organic disease had al so often meant the removal of a neuropsychosis. “There is no heart disease, except congenital he*rt disease, which is not the result of infection. “William Hunter is .applying the work of Lister to medicine; and the effect in that direction is going to be quite as great as the effect of Lifters work has been on surgery. . Hunter for years had been a voice crying in the wilderness. Hks contemporaries are just as guilty, as Listers contemporaries, of that numbing and sterile vice, apathy.” COOLIDGE PLANS MYSTIFYING TO PARTY LEADERS Don t Know Whether He Is Actually Out of Race for President. David Lawrence, in N. Y. Sun. Washington, Aug. 15.—The politic ians still are puzzled about President Coolidge e wishes. Those who have come back from Rapid City ave not been able to shed much light on what is or what is not a proper course for a friend and political supporter of Mfr. Coolidge. To join a Hoover boom or a Lowden boom at this stage of the game is fraught with uncertain con sequences. Would the President really be offended? What is the question be ing asked over and over again. Does he want the Coolidge strength to stap antact and draft him? Uncertainty like this has not often troubled the politicians, so they have turned their thoughts toward an an alysis of what Mr. Coolidge had in mind in the hope of finding therein some solution. If Mr. Coolidge wanted to eliminate himself completely he could have said definitely the would not accept. This is the prevailing comment the pro- Coolidge men make, and in doing so they do not question the intent. of the President to remain out of the race as an active candidate. On the other hand, if Mr. Coolidge is going to refuse a nomination, what has hap- make him reac a decision? Search for His Reasons. A man does not lightly throw away a nomination which it was conceded was his for the asking. Were there any reasons of personal convenience attached to the decision? This question more than any other is bobbing up. The Presidency is a con fining job. It deprives the incumbent of freedom. He is guarded constantly by secret service men and so are his wife and son. A secret service man accompanies Mrs. Coolidge when she ventures out in public and young John Coolidge has»a guard at Amherst. Is life in such circumstances worth all the criticism and strain of Presi dential responsibility for more than five and a half years more? It has sapped the vitality of other Presidents and broken th£m down. So some politicians have come to the conslusion that something per sonal must have dictated the Presi dent’s decision, something which makes the glory of continuance in office pale into significance beside the happiness and comforts that private citizens can secure. If this hypothesis is all wrong, if Mr. Coolidge is strong and healthy and young enough to carry 'the bur den for five and a half more years, then is the third term issue the reason for his withdrawal? The political leaders who were ready to bring the Republican machinery to gether for a nomination by acclama tion insist, that this never was a serious obstacle to Mr. Coolidge’s suc cess. Many of them have, therefore, concluded for the most part to go on booming Mr. Coolidge in the hope that the plan to draft him will ulti mattely cause such a commotion in the party as to compel his acceptance of the nomination. Want Situation Cleared. Big business interests are asking for a clearing up of the situation, knowing that uncertainty hurts busi ness. The politicians find themselves carrying a bigger load than usual. Messrs. Hoover and Hughes are well thought of by the business men who consider Mr. Coolidge safe and sane. Messrs. Dawes and Lowden would not prove unacceptable either, but it is within Mr. Coolidge’s oower to remove uncertainty and either flatly announce his unwillingness to accept or to tell the politicians to keep the Coolidge strength intact so it can be thrown to the right man when the sentiment of the Republicans of the country has indicated the choice of a successor WILL extend' tuberculosis CURE FOR COWS TO HUMANS Seattle Experiments, at First Scout ed, Now Said to Be Highly En couraging. Portland, Ore., Aug. 17. Dr. George Kirkpatrick’s supposed rem edy for tuberculosis has reached such a stage of development that the TWO LETTERS THAT DISTURB MAC von BACK So l i DTOKfT AYX '( vehTT 500M?WHy, r™ E V-AKC -MV TRUNK VoULL I THOUGHT 6EN4T BAjCK BV I HAv/£L 1*,,. u/ca.iT Mistake -So ina mcrAc VbU SP&NOIM6 W SJ S ’ VoUNG- MAN X||l AF': YoO DO\V\G- THE CONCORD Seattle Health Department has an nounced it will begin the first of ficial experiments of the remedy on human being in the municipal hos pital. Dr. Kirkpatrick is convinqed he a definite care for the disease, and Health Commissioner Hanley of Seattle has decided to try it on snch patients as wish it because the I remedy is a mixture of drugs that i could not cause any harmful effects. Seattle’s decision followed Dr. Kirkpatrick’s successful experiments with cows, which ended early this week. Five months ago ten cows . bearing evidence of being in advanc ed stages of tuberculosis, were , selected for the tests. They were treated until a few days ago with Dr. Kirkpatrick’s remedy. When three were slaughtered early in the week a United States inspec , tor pronounced them free irom tuberculosis and fit for human con ■ sumption. The examination was made in the presence of about fifty scientists, among them Federal and city officials. Dr. Kirkpatrick is confident his 1 remedy will be as' effective in the case of human beings as it is for cows. When Dr. Kirkpatrick an nounced his claims in January, the ■ American Medical Association dis puted them in an article in the Medical Journal. But Dr. S. G. a Los Angeles authority on tuberculosis, says the indications for tuberculosis cure are highly en couraging. “Perhaps I am a little prejudiced,” he said, “because I have seen some remarkable recoveries under Dr. Kirkpatrick’s treatment.” He pointed out that the absence of indications of the disease in the cows was “remarkable.” However, it is admitted the cow tests are not conclusive, but it is expected the ex periments on human beings, coupled with elaborate laboratory tests, will prove whether tuberculosis can be cured with drugs. A LIFE SENTENCE MAKES SLAYER HAPPY Prefers It to Serving a Few Weeks in Arkansas. Yorkville, S. C., Aug. 17.—Mills Moore, recently convicted and given a life sentence for killing a York coun ty officer, is happy I “I’d rather be in the South Caro lina penitentiary for Jife than to serve a few weeks in the Arkansas pen,” is Moore’s comment.« Moore was returned to South Caro lina recently from Arkansas, where he was serving a short sentence for steal ing baggage at the Little Rock pas senger statiton. While ia the Arkan sas penitentiary, Moore confessed to officers that he was wanted in South Carolina for killing an officer and asked to be sent back to the Palmetto State for trial. Knowing that Moore was practically immune from discovery in Arkansas, newspaper men asked him why he di vulged his long-hidden secret. “I was never ‘easy’ while ip Ar kansas,” Moore explained. “Th# stony i lonesome out yiere is a different prop osition from what it is in South Car olina. Prison discipline and control are different out there. “At the Arkansas pen they make certain trusties guards. If a prisoner tries to escape, and one of these trus ty-guards kills him, that trusty is pardoned. I was no trusty! After thinkjng it over, I decided- that the safest plan was to come back to South Carolina and stand trial for murder ing that officer down at Sharon a few years ago. I decided to take a chance on going to the electric chair.” Moore probably didn’t realize when he left Arkansas that he really was to have a miraculously close escape from the electric chair. When he was ar raigned for trial recently in South Carolina, he succeeded in arranging to receive a life sentence in return for entering a ptea of guilty to the charge ( of murdering a special officer of York county. The case went to the jury, which was instructed to return a ver dict of guilty with recommendation to mercy. But the jury had other opin ions with reference to the degree of Moore's guilt. The jury returned a verdict of guil ty without recommendation. The ju rors insisted that Moore’s crime mer ited the death penalty, and they want ed him to receive that, nothing less. The court explained at length that j Moore’s plea entitled him to a life sentence, but the jury again returned a verdict of guilty without recommen dation. Then the court explained that the verdict would be reversed by a higher court. The .jury then re- SAV,MAC,bo VtoO] TAU_£—\ WANT 7D Do Mg Qt Q-HT* l A FAVOR ? GOME -ft.

After killing the South Carolina of ficer Moore fled to Arkansas, and there he got into trouble frequently. While serving a brief term in the Ar kansas penitentiary Moore injured hie left eye, which was removed. Soon after his release he got into trouble in Little Rock and again went to the penitentiary. , Several years ago Moore shot two men in Greenville county, South Car olina, and escaped. Later he was captured, and in order to insure safe keeping he was taken to the State penitentiary. “When I got there,” Moore said, “the first prisoners I saw were those two birds I had shot! Darned if both of them hadn’t got into trouble and gone to the penitentiary for life!” SITUATION IN COTTON MILL STRIKE AT HENDERSON Sheriff Now Mustering Men to Cope With Any Trouble.—Mill Strikers Tried to Vrevent Handful of Men From Working. ■Henderson, Aug. 17.—Sheriff D. L. Kearney late today was hunting for a number of men to beheld in read iness for possible duty at the Harriet cotton mills as special deputies should there be any disturbances be tween striking textile operatives and any who may have been on strike and who would wish to return to work. It was reported this afternoon that groups of the strikers had congre gated at several of the gates at noon in an effort to keep out the handful of employes who are at work in the Nos. 2 and 3 Harriet mills. There has been no congregating around the gates at any time other than when the workers were going in to the mill, it was said. A new com mittee of the strikers called today on mill officials with the hope of getting some promise of a possible move to ward granting their demands. They were told that the promise made yes terday that S. P. Cooper, president, would personally take charge of an ef fort to iron out any inequalities in conditions of employment was as far as the mills could go and that thery could not grant the 12 1-2 per cent wage increase demanded. Conflicting statements came today from the apposing sides in the Har riet cotton mills labor dispute as the strike entered its 12th day. It will be two weeks at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning since the operatives in the Harriet mill No. 1 walked out and were followed by others the remain der of the week until on the following Monday the mil owners shut down the Nos. 2 and 3 plants. The variance in the claims of the mill owners and spokesmen for the strikers related to' the number of hands at work, and more particular ly at the North Henderson mills, where there has been no complete walkout at any time. S. P. Cooper, president, said that both units at North Heuderson were running full time, day and night with all the la bor needed. Alfred Hoffman, labor or ganizer, disputed this claim, but was unable to give exact figures as to the actiial extent of the idleness there. RESERVE BRANCH TO START UP SOON Quarters Obtained For Charlotte Di vision of Richmond Federal Bank. Charlotte, Aug. 17. —The next steps in bringing the Federal Reserve Bank ing System closer to the financial in terests and the people of the Carolinas will be the appointment of a board of directors and the equipping of the of fices of the branch bank of the fifth district reserve bank of Richmond in the recently completed National Bank building here, which will be possessed October 1. Actual operation of the branch bank will be started as quickly as prospective preliminaries are disposed of and the offices, located on the twentieth floor of the First National building, are equipped, according to the announcement by Robert Lassiter, of Charlotte, a member of the direc torate of the district bank. December 1 was suggested as the probable date on which the branch will begin opera tions. Ihe staff of the branch bank will include probably 75 persons when operations are started, but this num ber probably will be reduced after rue employes increase in efficiency as they become accustomed to their work it was forecast. Hugh Leach, auditox of the district bank, will be the managing director of the branch bank, and W. T. Clements, an official of the ~ J SAY/ L JOH. pOM'T v • wjyvvA^r ■ Jr^ feQMh staff vs 6« vaxe : TOO* j district bank, will be the cashier.

HOPE OF ENDING STRIKE QUICKLY BLASTED S. P. Cooper Sees the Commitee But a Statement Is Not Reassuring. Henderson, Aug. 17.—What appear , ed for a time to be a ray of hope for some sort of progress toward settle , ment of the strike of textile workers in the Harriet Cotton Mills here was seen in a visit of two members of the | strike committee to the office of S. P. Cooper, President of the corporation, early this afternoon but it faded al most as quickly as it appeared when a meeting of the strikers was told of the results of their conference. Rev. J. R. Hopkins, Holiness preacher, and Lacy McDade, the two members of the strike committee, who called on Mr. Cooper, stated to him that they had come at the instance of the operatives for a definite commit ment on the part of the mill-authori ties as to their attitude on the strike situation and of their intentions. They asked for something in writing which might be read to the meeting, and here is the statement, signed by Mr. Cooper, which they received: “I will give my personal attention to the questions presented by the com mittee of the operatives of the Har riet Cotton Mills, and use every ef fort for the mutual benefit of the stockholders and employees, and trust that better trade conditions and in creased efficiency will render possible increased wages that present condi tions do not justify.” There is no material difference in this declaration and that which was handed to the full strike committee at the initial and only other conference held so far, on last Friday afternoon, except that in today’s statement Mr. Cooper promises his “personal at tention” to the grievances of the em ployees. When the members of the commit tee made their report, MaDade said there was an immediate outburst of disaproval and a reiteration of the determination on the part of the crowd to refuse to go back until the twelve and half per cent wage in crease had been granted, that Mr. Cooper had said flatly the mills are not in position at this time to give. THE COTTON OUTLOOK. The 801 l Weevil is Here and is Threatening to Do His Worst. Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 18. —Some farmers claim that “the bool weevil has been here all the time” and some say “Let the weevil do his worst — I’ll make cotton just the same.” Well, according to present indications, the weevil is, here and is threatening to do his worst from Polk to Currituck. Very serious damage is already done in southeastern countries with the crop still young and particularly at- The “Daddy of them all** sayi«=* “Waterman’s Ideal Fountain Pen has been imitated and emulated but it has never been i duplicated.** f Only two movement* are It required to fill a Waterman"* |[ —pull out the lever and push u it back.

The squares are the first fruits of the weevil. It seldom attacks bolls until the squares are not sufficiently plentiful. It is easy to surmise that counties between and Bouth of Wayne and Scotland are the most affected. Reports received by the Crop Reporting Service of the Department of Agriculture say,-so. Statisticians Frank Parker and W. H. Rhodes, Jr., made separate field investigations in the western and eastern counties going as far east as Scotland and as far south as Wayne counties where they found the worse damages. It was observed that while blooming was very profuse in many fields and that fallen squares were profuse, yet the first field may have had many weevils and the latter but few, is were found. Then, too, sometimes where few grubs were found in fallen squares, many punctured squares were seen on plants. The only way to be sure of weevil infestation is to ex amine several places in fields, looking into squares on plants and those fal len, as well as to examine young bolls and to notice the scarcity of blooms. Dusting and frequent cultivation are the best preventative methods to follow. TODAY’S EVENTS. 'T Thursday, August 18, 1927.
