EMERGENCY JUDGESHIP ACT DOES NOT PAN Ol’T McLean Never Favored the Law But Thinks Service Has Done Exceed ingly Well. Tom Bost in Greensboro News. I Raleiglv. December 31— Emergency judges who will serve first in the new year are Ex-Judge C. C. Lyon, of Bladen, ahd R. Lee Wright, of Row an. Judge Lyon has been assigned to Johnston county for a special term of two weeks beginning January 18. 1926. This is a civil court. The former judge, who now serves as re gular emergency trier, is also assigned to Wilsou for two weeks of criminal court beginning February lath. j Judge Wright goes to Surry county! January tlth in lieu of Judge James L. Webb, who has a conflict of courts and is therefore unable to keep his engagement in Mount Airy. Judge Wright holds two weeks for the trial of civil etpses. Forsyth conflicted the first week with Judge Webb's Surry cases autl Rockingham the second. Governor McLean's attention in' this connection was called to the find ing of tlie federal conference and its recommendations yesterday, one of which observations was that the emergency, judgeship act does not wjork welh Governor Me I -can renewed his ob servation that lie was not originally favorable <jo this »et. He doubted its wisdom but ft came at a last re source. lid is pleased to recall the record of six (cert judges commission ed for 193a. These judges Lave made a good record. He will not make comparisons, but the people have been pleased, he said. He observed further that many re quests for outstanding lawyers have failed to get them. More men have turned down the invitation to preside than have accepted. General Al bert Cox and Judge J. C. Biggs, both of whom have served regularly on the bench, have been unable to hold courts. So has A. 1.. Brooks. But the gover nor thinks the service 'has been splen did. far better than hoped for. Incidentally, there has been but one emergency judgeship mishap, just one setback by the Supreme Court in 3925. But the governor did not say that.

The New* Year was welcomed in i . with suitable ceremonies Thursday }\ j night. I Immediately at the sound of the tow T n elook striking the midnight hour [ there came a burst of noise, made chiefly by the firing of guns and fire crackers, the tolling of church bells dlid the blowing of horns. For a r time, bedlam seemed to have broken . loose. One regular feature of the celebra tion was omitted Thursday night. The local militia was unable to fire * its salute, owing to a lack of ammu- I nition. With this single exception, there was much the usual amount of Ynerry - making on this occasion. i A number of watch-night parties were held all over the city, two of the largest of w’hich were the Y watch ■ party and the First Baptist Church ■ party. At both of the*e. large num bers of persons attended to make merry the last few hours of the old ■ year and to greet the New Year as it was born. At the Y party. Rev. R. M. Court i ney made a brief speech and at the Baptist Church party Rev. C. Herman Trueblood was the chief speaker. , At various homes throughout the city small' parties were held while waiting for the New Year to come , in. The younger set of the city greeted it while dancing in the Elks’ » ballroom, at the DeMolay dance. * b Throughout the course of the night and even at early hours this morning ; there still continued an intermittent l shooting of guns and fire crackers - where belated revelers concluded that ■ it was no time to greet the New Year.

The score was High Point 31, Con cord 26. In the early stages of the game the locals took the lead. During the entire first half, there was little from which to choose in the playing of the two teams with the exception of the fact that the visitors w/re doing the most scrapping. The half ended with Concord leading in a 14-11 score Af.ter the opening of the second half, the High Point five gradually began to creep up on the locals and midway in the period they went ahead for the first time in the game. Desperate efforts were made by the Y cagers to stop this advance but want of training during the holidays told and the best that could be done was to keep the score close. For High Point.

I =— COTTON GROWERS AHE IN HELPLESS ATTITUDE Unless They Take Some Action Against the Present Sub-Normal Prices, Atlanta, Ga.. Dec 31.—(^)—Cot ton growers of the South are “ia a i helpless attitude" against the present . sub normal price for their crop, un less some clear-eut action is taken by them looking toward n curtail ment of production in 102f>. the Amer ican Cotton Association announces, ill i issuing a call for a southwide cotton Convention to convene here January 6 th. Jointly with the American Associa -1 tion call, the Southern commissioners of agriculture issued through their chairman, Harry D. Wilson, of Louis iana. a similar call that the oommis . sinners should join the association i here in an effort to induce Southern farmers to cut down their cotton ■ acreage for the coming crop year. '■ "The enormous acreage planted to cotton in 1925,” says tile American Cotton Association's statement, “ami the very large production of the crop. | creating supplies in excess of con sumption demands, has forced prices for the staple several cents per pound below the actual average cost of pro duction. Against this situation . cotton growers are in a helpless at titude. Their only relief can be i found in a southwide concerted action , in curtailing production of the staple in 1920. . I “The enormously increased cotton acreage in 1925 correspondinjfly ve . (luted the acreage’ in food and feed ■ supplies on southern farms to such , an extent that the question of secur ing such supplies for the operation , of next year's farming is'n matter of deep and vital concern teThe rank and file of the cotton over • all the South. Southern farmers are burdened with the double penalty of selling their great staple money crop at prices considerably below the ac tual cost of production and faced with preparations for next year’s farming i operations with empty corn cribs and smoke-houses and quite limited credit ; facilities. The situation is serious s and calls for drastic changes in crop i operations for 192(5. | “No outside or governmental meas . urea for relief will be able to meet the situation." continued the an nouncement, "Newspaper publicity, convention speeches, and passage of i resolutions will not solve tiie prob lem. As in 1921. there must be i southwide state and county orgnni l nations for growers, merchants and bankers, who will give wholehearted • support and co-operation to n dettn nite and sound program of relief that . will insure positive and effective re i suits. Such a program should be : based upon t*.ic following understand ing : "1. Every cotton grower be urged : and induced to reduce his cotton , acreage for 192(5 thirty-three and nne . third per cent, of area planted in | 1925. restricting his cotton acreage. to not exceeding eight acres to the . plow, to he liberally fertilized, se t >fted seed of the best oup-inch va , rieties planted, the crop cultivated in tensively so as to increase the yield of,,good spiuahle cotton, and wec’vl' ) control intelligently mid effectively al . plied. "2. That a largely' Increased acre . age be planted in food. -feed, and for- 5 age crops, thereby laying the foumla t tion for a sane and reliable system' of self-sustaining agriculture, t "3. That local bankers and mer chants join with the movement and . restrict credits for farm loans -and supplies based upon contracts or agree meats with their customers and pa trons planting cotton that the pro . gram outlined in numbers 1 and 2 be strictly adhered to. . . . t The statement estimates the 1925 acreage cost of growing cotton at S4O r an acre. "At this figure.” it adds. it would require 25 cents per pound ! fopjilll grades to net the farmer cost for the 192:> crop, based upon the t estimated yield of 162 pounds of lint cotton per ac<e made by the govern lmsnt. Applying present prices for (lie crop, it stows a net less of exceed in 8 $400,000,000 to the growers for t the crop of 1925. Any policy of farming that entails such enormous loss to the growers of a staple money crop, with the further penalty of Vo t serious a shortage in home-raised s f "»d and feed crops is nothing short of agricultural suicide.'’ J The cotton convention, therefore, is e eased. says the announcement, “in re , sponse to widespread requests offarm , ers. merchants and bankers rhrouglt -011l the cofton belt, to the end that j 11 .definite and constructive program, relief may be devised and pressed in solution for limiting cotton produc tion in 1926 aud thereby insure fair ■ and just prices for the growers."

Wise, rabbi of the Free Synagogue, really ,suy about Christ [ and the Jews? The rabbi's words, which caused orthodox rabbis to pass resolutions denouncing him. resulting in his res ; ignation as chairman of the United Palestine campaign, are the topic of i the hour in Jewish circles, but out . aiders appear not to have a clear idea of their meaning. But he.mukes it plain that “noth; • *og I could say and nothing that any • Jew could say must lead any one to ■ imagine that we Jews today, any more 1 than 1,900 years ago. regard Jesus 1 in any oth/r light than that he was a ’ man. No Quarrel With Christians. “I do not mean to. quarrel with Christian creeds, or rather with Chris tian dogmas, but wish to make clear that no Jew dreams of accepting, the Christian dogmastie view with respect to flic uniqueness of Jesus in no far as he wns other or more than man." “The important thing-to make clear is .that the "book of Dr. Klaussner, which was referred to at some length in my sermon, deals with Jesus of Nazure:h exactly as the author might have dealt with any other Jewish fig ure of the first century. He views Je sus ns against the Palestinian setting or background without constant ref erence to which Jesus cannot be un derstood any more than Abraham Lin coln v could be understood save as against the background of American life in tile early half of the nineteenth century. “I understand exactly where Dr. Klaussner stands. I believe that Je sus was and that any attempt to ‘mythologize' him away into non-exist .ence is bound to be-futile. No myth A - could leave the iinpiess upon human kind and human history which bus been made by Jesus. ' Many Deny Jesus. "The third thesis of Klaussner’s book, though he does not put it in thia ' way, is that Jesus was a man and a 1 Jew. that he was a young Palestiuiain ■ Jew and spoke the Aramac tongue I and whose life and teachings are intel ligible alone in the light of the ac ceptance of him as a Jew and a Jew -1 >sh teacher. In the course of my ad dress 1 devoted sometime to show : ing the accordance between the teach ings of Jesus and the teachings of his i people and time. This is so obvious as to require no eqjfimentary despite the treat gulf tharhns come to be fixed between the Jewish view of Jesus as man and Jew and Christendom's yiew of the OHrist. “And this leads me to the fourth point, with which Klaussner directly deals. Jesus was not a Christian. Whether or not the teachings of Jes us would ever have led the founding of Christianity, had it not been for the blending of the teachings of Jesusi with the current non-Jewfsb pliilhso-j ph.v of his time, js a matter with which I need not deal at this time. At' best it may be said that Christianity grew put of the teachings of Jesus, but Jesus was a Jew and a Jewish teacher from the beginning to the end of his ways." “Many important Jewish writers, Brandes .of Denmark, for instance, deny that Jesus of Christianity ever lived. Voted One of Greatest. “The thing that I most tried to convey was my own feeling tliut Klaussner is renderipg a great ser-i vice to the Jew and the Christian alike,’ said Dr.. Wise. “Jesus was not a Christian. In the light of this undeniable truth shall Jews forever Friday, janQary i, refuse to claim Jesus either because of the centuries of misunderstanding und Christleftsness which Imvc grown , out of the stories touching the man a-r of His death or because Christen dom is not yet become Christian? , , There is no question of embracing Christianity save by Christians. I do not need to be a Christian in order to recognize the place of Jesus i„ the ’ great Jewish tradition. Israel gave < Jesus the man and the Jew to humaq- l i For. the most part Christendom p lias denied Him ]j| deed, though af firming Him in name. Is not the ’ hour come for us, his. fellow Jesus, to - place Jesus exactly where He belongs— this radiant Jewish teacher in pules ■ tine of the first century?" Telegraphic pretests against Dr. ■ Wise's forced resignation n s ehair -1 man of the United Palestine cam -1 paign aye flowing into the headquat : t<?rs of the drive. Many influential I Jews are flocking to the rabbi’s sup -1 port. Nathan Kharus, donor of SOSO - 000 to Palestine Welfare work, is oue..of hi» defender*.
