To Pool The Crop.
At a meeting of a large number of
tobacco farmers of this and adjoining
counties at Greensboro last week it was
decided to pool the tobacco crops of
1911, what effect this will have upon
the manner of sale or price of the pre
sent crop it IS imposable to determine
just now. We only hope it will be pro
ductive of no disorder or unpleasant
feeling. We with thousands of other
wish that the step may result
in much benefit to them, and it can be
the case and result in no harm to no
one.
A Thought For the Week.
We owe to the community in which
we live to do everything we can in
every way possible that will be to its
advantage. Our neighbor’s prosperity
means a great deal more to us than
some one who lives elsewhere. We
should bear this in mind in buying our
goods. We can afford to pay our
home man a firm price for his wares
rather than send our money away,
knowing as we do that every dollar
expended with our own citizens will
help in sustaining our schools, churches
and public institutions. It pays richly
to patronize your home industries.—

The President’s Flag.
Leslie’s Weekly.
Not one person in a thousand knows
the president’s flag. As president of
the United States he has none, but as
commander in chief of the army and
navy his presence is noticed by dis
tinct standards. The army flag is red
and bears in the center the official
coat of arms of the United
States. Bearing the same coat of
arms and somewhat similar, save its
color, blue, is the navy flag. The na
vy flag is displayed whenever the
president is aboard a naval vessel, at a
navy yard or under the navy’s escort.
Reviving When Shocked
Again.
Oliver Locke, a condemned negro
wife murderer, struggled for twenty-
eight minutes at the penitentiary at
Ed(tyville Ky., last Thursday and fin
ally broke the leather straps that
bDund his legs and arms. Two thous
and volts of electricity had passed
through his body. The negro toppled
to the floor and the physicians found
he was reviving. He was again strap
ped to the chair, and 2,500 more volts
were used before life was extinct.

From 200
Acres.
Wonderful yield of cotton made by
South Carolina farmers—paid $26 per

Four hundred and eighi bales of cot
ton from a 200-acre field is the wonder
ful record made last year by J. D.
Whittle, near Blackville, S. C., on ths
Southern Railway, and is evidence of
th» vast resources of the soils of the
Southeast for growing the great Ameri-

Tlbe Issue is Made.
That the House Democrats should
feel disappointment over their failure
to pass the Wool and Free List bills
cfVer the Presidential veto is only natu
ral, but they are in no wise to blame
for a result which would have been dif
ferent but for the shiftingjof Insurgent
Republican votes which haQ been form-
ely cast fer the measwre. The upshot
of it all is, of course, that Congress
will close its extraordinary session with
out affecting any tariff reform where-
ever. This, from the standpoint of
the public which is thus denied any
measure of immediate relief from
tariff e3*actio*s, is greaWy to be re
gretted. But two things, at least,
have been made so plain that only the
wilfully blind can fail to recognize
4iera. One is that there will be no
genuine lowering of the protection af
forded monopoly so long as a Repub
lican adminstration is eiothed with
power to prevent it. The other is that,
if elimination of special privilege and
curtailment of tariff graft are to come,
they must be secured through the
agency of the Democratic party and
through that agency alone. The Demo,
grates, though unable to effect any
concrete results, have distinctly made
good, so far as in their power lay.-
They have been faithful to both the
spirit and the letter of the pledges on
the strength of which the people
placed them in charge of one branch
of Congress in the election of 1910 and
have demonstrated beyond a peradven-
ture that they may safely be entrusted
with control of the government, in all
its departments, in 1912. In blocking
all their efforts at tariff reform Presi
dent Taft has made a clear-cut issue
upon which they can go before the
country next year in reasonable confi
dence that the outcome will be in their
favor.—Va. Pilot
TO POOL TOBACCO CROP
This Plan Adopted By
North Carolina And
Virginia Growers.
At a secret session of the six hun
dred farmers and tobacco-growers of
Nor^h Carolina and Virginia in the
Grand opera house Greensboro Fri
day afternoon, a report of the resolu
tion committee favoring the pooling
of the 1911 crop and holding for bet
ter prices was unanimously adopted.
At the session of the convention being
held, and which will pjobably be con
tinued, details the plan will be
worked out. This is an important step
for the tobacco-growers of the bright
tobacco belt of Virginia and North
Carolina, and is the first tiane such a
pool has ever been undertaken in this
'section.
Heaven Help Those Who
Helps Themselves.
A splendid object lesson is funrnish-
ed other towns and cities ctf the State
by the town of Hickory. Recently
the progressive people of that town
raised a fund of $200,000 to guarantee
the establishment of industrial enter
prises,- and the scheme has worked Ad
mirably. We are toid that already the
town has secured a carriage and bug
gy factory, an ©yerall factory, a filing
cabinent factory, a chair factory, a bridge
and steel structural plant, and others
of the same sort, which means that
Hickory is destined to become a great
manufacturing center. And it &11 came
about simply by the peopfe determining
to help Thwnselves, and not waiting
for ©utside capital to come in and do
it all. Outside eapital will come, no
doubt, but it must be met half way.—

Horror,
No Clue to Dij^pearance
The art world was thrown into con
sternation las I week by the announce
ment that Leonardo De Vincis* master-
kpiece, “Mona Lisa,” or as it is popu
larly k«own, “La Joconde,” had dis
appeared from the Louvre in Pams.
The famous painting hung in the place
of honor in the Sa^ Carre, and not a
vestige of clue wS left by the person
or persons ^ho took It to aid the de
tectives and {^lice in trying to trace
Jt. A search of every nook and cran-
^ of the Louvre from roof to cellar
only brought to light the frame in
whiah the picture hung and ttie glass
^hat covered it. Those were found in
tact on a back staircase. Some per-
sans believe that a practical joke has
been played, but nevertheless the gov
ernment has its entire force of de-
work in an offort to
painting.
Bttst Trusts Or Boss ^Em?
Beginning next November 15 a sub
committee of the Senate committee on

J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller,
Elbert W. Gray and others who main
tain that combinations are for the best
interests of the people will be heard
on one side; then those v ho condemn
all restraint of trade will be heard in
turn. Capitalists and labor leaders will
both be asked for their views. Senar-
tor Cummins, chairman of Idie sub-
covmlttee, expresses the belief that
“ou* of it all will come, probably, as

When from the far South the news
Is flashed northward of a lynching, it
invariably brings torrents of condem
nation and pitying regret from the
Northern communities. The S*uth has
always received these somewhat over
bearing comments with patience and
silence—and never offered excuses,
nor tried to shift the blame to another
section of the cnuntry.
But, when a Northern community,
after participating in one of the worst
lynching that has ever been recorded—
dNorth or South—gets up the next
morning, rubbing the smoke, tainted
with burnt human flesh, from its smart
ing eyes, and cries ont through its
newspaper—Coatesville Reoord, August
14, 1911—to the world-at-large, that
“there were several Southern people,
strangers, in town, and there were
strange faces in front of the mob who
dragged the negro away from the hos
pital,” how is it to be expected of the
South to read, with any complacence
or patience, futher criticisms fvoxa. the
North?
When the ministers of the Gospel in
the North—as is their wont on such oc
casions—rise in their pulpits, will they
drag forth some oJd worn sermon on
“The pity of the thing in our dearly
beloved South?” Or, will the text be
“There were several Southern people.
Strangers, in Luwn last
But what will the orator do when he
comes to this part of the text: “Later
stones were used to break the larged
bones of the victim, and, blackener
and oharred, they were divided into
small places and thrown among the
crowd, who scrambled for them like a
pack of hungry wolves jrfter a morsel
of food.”
Will he explain that these same
“several Southern strangers broke up
the burnt bones and distributed them
to their several thousand Northern
friends, who stood around the smoking
pyre looking qp in awe and in inaction
a»d with disa^probatioB?
Or, will it be explained that these
“several thousand spectators” hover
ing around the smoldering remains
were also “Southern strangers” who
came up from the South on an excur
sion train especially to see the “sever
al Southern people, atrai|gers,” show
their Northern neighbors how the
trick is done, and that these self-same
spectators from the South gathered
these hideous souvenirs to hang in
their humbie huts down South, like
relics gathered by the “head hunters”
of the isles in the south Pacific ocean?
Not satisfied wifh this suggested
me, the paper further voices the
xplanations of its citizens by saying
that “A great part of the trouble that
has been caused by colored people in
Coatesville for years pest has usjially
come about through negroes who have
come from the South!”
Will it be explained, when this
part of the text is reached, that the
South sends its negroes around to the
Northern towns to murder people, so
that the goodiv Southern citizens can
send a few of their number—to wit,
“Several Southern strangers”—to burn
the murderer at the stake?
The real backbone os this great Un
ion knows that the South has its great
problems to solve—its conditions to
overcome, and that it actually does not
have time to run excursions to lynch-
ings, nor to send its “several South-
