West Vir ginia,. complained much because they were arrested for traffic violations of which they were ignorant. They did not know the parking ordinances and many of them were arrested for their first of fense. They made much complaint, sent their complaints broadcast, and were giving Morgantown a black eye. So the Chamber of Commerce of that city hit upon a plan that shows a true spirit of hospitality, and at the same time does not let the bars down too far. ‘‘Wel come to Our City” reads a tag the Mor gantown police now tie to autos which are parked wrong or which stay to long in one place. This is what the first tag, a green one, says, but if the offense is per sistent a red tag that summons the mo torist to police headquarters is used. The green tag, in addition to welcom ing the motorist to Morgantown, says: ‘‘The citizens of Morgantown, through its chamber of commerce, bill you wel come to our city. "If we can render any service or in any way make your visit with us more pleasure. kindly call at the headquarters of our commercial organization. “By the way. you have violated one of our city traffic ordinances and we sug gest that you call at the chamber of com merce and secure a copy of our traffic regulations.” The above regulations constitute the most sensible qml courteous proceedings we have ever read after, dealing with traffic regulations. Morgantown is making friends for it self by treating strangers as if they were human beings. • There are some cities in this State that could learn a lesson from the action of the Morgantown Chamber of Com merce and police. This is especially true in resort towns, where hundreds of mo torists drive each year, qnd where there are no signs erected giving the parking laws. It is not right or just to arrest a man for his first parking offense in a town where he is not familiar with the law. If the city has parking laws, the laws should be published on signs and put up throughout the city, and especial ly in that part of the city where most of the parking is done. WILL SHOW ITS EFFECTS. Governor Cameron Morrison and State Treasurer Ben Lacy have gone to New York to sell .$5,000,000 worth of North Carolina bonds. The money will be used on extensions and improvements at several of the State institutions. The outcome of the visit of the North I Carolina officers to the money market of New York will be watched with keen in terest. % Heretofore the officers have been able to dispose of the State’s bonds with, out much trouble, but this time a differ ent story may be told. This is the test time bonds of the State have been offered Bince the “deficit” wrangle started sev eral months ago, and just how the chang es of the $5,000,000 deficit will affect the money market will be shown in the bids offered for the bonds. The charges of Mr. Maxwell are cer tain to have some effect on the State’s financial standing. Most of the people in the State, we believe, realise that North Carolina is not in a bad way financially, but will the money handlers of New York City think the same wny. That's the question. Hundreds of IST people In North Carolina are now preparing ter their col lege work. The schools and college swill be in tell operation within another month, and many of them are preparing to care for the largest number of students in . their history. This is especially true of of the larger State institutions. The . Univ«Mtt?, State- and Normal, w* pre- paring to house record crowds, and in. the same proportion to their size, the smaller State schools are making plans. Denominational schools of the State also are expecting another prosperous year, and every school iu the State probably will show an increase in students over last year's enrollments. MAKING FOR PERFECTION Statesville Daily. The following is credited to the Sa vannah (Ga., Press: North Carolina ig a perfect State. That's about all the Georgia Legislature has had thrown at it since Hie session began two weeks ago. It is pure specu lation as to what the House and Senate: would have had to talk about but for North Carolina. The legislators are told several times daily what a great* State it is. Its tax measures are per fect. its laws are a delight, its prosperity; is marked and its folks happy. Com-; mittee meetings are filled with speeches praising North Carolina. It is difficult; to see how some Georgians kep from moving up there. The North Carolina tax act' is reported as being a perfect: measure for gathering coin and at the same time helping industries. There' are more cotto^ spindles in North Caro lina than in There is more happiness iu the hills of Buncuinbe coun ty than in the hills and valleys of Haber sham and Hall. Nobody has a word of criticism for North Carolina and its method of taxing the folks and keeping them in a good humor. If this Legis lature doesn't put Georgia in /lie North Carolina class before the first of Sep tember it will not be from lack of ad vice to that effect. North Carolina has set a pace that should be an inspiration as well as an example to Georgia not only, but to nu merous other commonwealths: and the legislators thereof may with profit spend much time in discussing what has beeu done iu this State for public betterment. Modesty and candor compel the admis sion that we have not yet attained per fection : in fact sonic of our folks would admit, without being pressed, that our shortcoming are many. But that is among ourselves. We will not only de clare to the outsider that we are nearing perfection, but we will attempt to prove it: and few there be among us who are not sincerely proud of the progress we are making and the reputation we have justly earned abroad. It is surprising that more Georgians do not move to North Carolina ; in fact we are surprised that folks who are free to move will stop, anywhere outside of North Carolina. STORY THAT MINISTER PIERCE MADE THREATS Hinted at R. O. Garrett's “Leaving” As “Corpse.”—He Knew of Ambush? Cumberland Courthouse. Va.. Ang. ' 2!).—Testimony that Rev. E. S. Pierce had stated last April that 11. O- Gar rett. count clerk, would “leave Cum berland pretty soon as a corpse.” and that on a previous occasion he had de clared there “would have to be another Hillsville affair in Cumberland to clean things up." was given by the defense witnessed today in the trial of It. O. Garrett for the alleged murder of the Baptist minister last June 5. These statements with testimony de signed to show that the minister ap peared to have some knowledge of the shooting of Allen M. Chandler from ambush last May 3. together with the appearance on the stand As Larkin C. Garrett, jointly indicted with his broth er for the Pierce killing, were the high spots of the third day of the trial, most of which was given over to defense wit nesses, Special emphasis was laid on the testimony concerning the minister’s con nection with -the Chandler -hooting as it is the defense claim that that affair led directly to the fight in whieh Rev. Mr. Pierce was shot l to death a month later. SUICIDE STILL ALIVE ACCORDING TO REPORT Susie Hardy. 15, of East Fayetteville. Apparently Left Fake Note on River Bank. Fayetteville, Aug. 2!).—Susie Hardy, 15-year-old girl of Campbellton. or East Fayetteville, who this morning left a note on the bank of the Cape Fear river stating that she was drowned in the river, and for whose body the river was dragged this afternoon, was seen by sev eral persons late today, according to in formation gathered tonight from reliable sources. The girl is said to have been seen at 5 o’clock this afternoon going in the direction of Hope Mills, with a youth who works in the cotton mill where she is employed. , The Hardy girl lives with her aunt, Mrs. Lena Joyner, who missed her about II o'clock this morning. A search was instituted and the “suicide” note was found on a rock at the water’s edge by Will Boyken. The. water at that point is four feet deep. The note read: “The one that finds this bring it to Lena Joyner. I am drowned in the river ati the boat landing and I want you all to harry me in the semmertery up towy if you will.

New Orleans, Aug. 20.—T00 much rain in the eastern belt continued an ticipations of low. end of August con dition figures front the government and claims of a better demand so rspots from New England mills, along with more doing in the cloth markets of the country, put the price of cotton higher today, following losses of 3 to 10 points on the opening. The rise was gradual and in the second half of the session had the trading months 27 to 23 points higher than the close of yesterday. Oc tober. after falling to 23.47 cents a pound, rose to 23.84. finally closing at a range of 23.73 to 23.75. One the close the market stood 14 to 20 points net higher on the day. AVeekly crop reports were about as favorable as they were unfavorable, in the opinion of the average trader. Rains in Texas were regarded as likely to in crease the yield, although complaints that the moisture was interfering with both picking and ginning attracted at tention. One private crop report of tiie day put the percentage of condition at 50.3 and the indicated yield at 11.- 238.000 bales while another report put the condition at 55.3. These figures pulled the market out of its small in itial decline which was due to poor cables. Speculative buying increased and much of it came from outside interests and it was commonly supposed to be based on the belief that thb government's con dition figures Friday morning would be very low. Hedge selling was not much iu evidence and most of "the time the supply of contracts was not at all lib eral. GOV. PINOHOT ADVOCATES 10 PERCENT INCREASE IN WAGES Offers His Plan For Avoiding the Coal Strike Called For Saturday. Harrisburg. Pa.. Aug. 23.—Governor Pinchot tonight submitted to representa tives of the anthracite miners and opera tors in joint conference, a proposed basis of settlement providing for a 10 per cent increase in pay. recognition of the eight hour day for all employes, and full recog nition of the union by the operators without the check-off with the right so have a union representative present when the men are paid.

Chicago. Aug. 30.—The International Association of Women Preachers opened its annual convention here today. The Rev. Madeline Southard of Winfield, Kan., President of the organization, said that wider opportunity for women in all the professions was 'one of the principal subjects to be taken up. “The idea that women cannot follow a profession is ridiculous,” she said. “The time will come when housework •an be disposed of in five hours, li>aving time enough for every woman to have as wide a life as men and at the same time giving them more time for their •hildren. “At. present ttiey do not have time to care for the children. They'are too much occupied with keeping house.” Some Smoke. Washington, I).

Munds and Winslow Cotton letter. New York. Aug. 23. —Cotton showed a good deal of underlying strength to day although the market was quiet and rather narrow. The feature of the mar ket was trade buying, which was in fairly large volume and at timess repre sented some good sized blocks. Fall River was said to be in the market for actual cotton, and shmo of our friends who have just returned from New Eng land reports a much better feeling in manufacturing circles there. The weekly weather report recorded some improvement in conditions in Oklahoma and Texas as a result of re cent rains, although it stated that condi tion is still poor as result of the drought. Too much rain however, has fallen iu the states east of the Miss issippi river and damage from weevils and other insects is increasing. Our o\\n private reports indicate rather excep tional deterioration in the states east of the Mississippi. The trade appears to be looking for a bureau around or above 58. This will be made public Fri day We favor a moderately long posi tion. and advise buying cotton on breaks tomorrow and Friday forenoon. MI NDS AND WINSLOW.
