'■j LETTER FROM W. R.
BLACK WELDER
Men Walking the Streets in FTort
• ida.—No Jobs and Sometimes "Noth
ing to Rat.
- Mr. Editor:
1 As I told you Christmas I would
. write a letter for the good Old Trib
-1 une of Concord, N. C., 1 will try to
make my word good.
I came here just after Christmas
l, but took sick and returned to good old
! North Carolina. After spending sev
eral days with my family I returned
- to the lapd of sand, sunshine and
- rain, which is bounded on the north
e i by the 18th amendment and on all
! other three sides by the three-mile lim
it. It is called Florida. I found a j
i great difference in conditions here in
.! 30 days' time. Lumber yards that
- were empty on the 17th of December,
. were stocked to the full extent. Men
that were working every day before
■ Christmas were walking the streets
begging for work and some were beg
ging for something to eat. This is
what is known as the dull season here
aud jobs are hard to obtain. The tour
ists from the north are here and have
. but little work done at this time. I
obtained work with Blandford Con
struction Co. But can not say how
long the job will last. I hope to hold
on till the Blue Birds sing in North
Carolina. We are having a rainy day
here and a strong northeast gale. It
is cool this afternoon but do not need
. any fire to keep warm. I visited my
first truck farm in this state today.
. It is located three miles west of the
eity right in the swamps that have
been drained. It is attended by an
. old man and contains 3 1-4 acres. The
i keeper told me he had sold $1,750 in
vegetables off of it this winter. I
found green beans, egg plant, lettuce,
cabbage, collords, tomatoes, sweet po
tatoes, Irish potatoes, spinach, ear
rots, onions, celery, beets, radishes.
! butter beans and corn growing just as;
we have in June and July in North
| Carolina. We had a cold wave lierej
j two weeks ago and they kept fires j
! burning in the gardens to protect the I
j vegetables from the cold. The great !
real estate boom that lias swept this j
country for a good while, seems to!
have reached the top, especially along j
the east const. I haven't heard as
much real estate talk in two weeks!
as I hoard in one day before Christ
mas. I know of some that are trying ,
to get their money out of what they >
bought last fall, hut can't sell. It is I
generally predicted that times will be ■
better here by April Ist. I can't say
las I don't know. But I thing some
j other part of the state would be a (
r better paying propos-tion for an in
j vestment than the east coast, as ev- ;
j erything is very expensive here. I
| bear a great deal of talk here of ,
l Western North Carolina aud believe ■
| a man would make a wise investment
iin buying property there. This is a !
level country but can't be compared i
with Nort;h Carolina, as the climate is i
almost the same the year round here, i
And no.change makes it monotonous, i
Therefore, old North Carolina has this i
country beat by far.
! Hoping to see iuy friends in the <
good old summer time. I remijn, i

NO ONE ANXIOEB TO
BUY OR SELL COTTON
Local Market Is Very Quiet, With
Local Farmers Apparently Waiting
For “Necessity” or Higher Prices.
No one around here seems anxiouH
to buy or sell cotton.
At least business at the local cot
ton platform is very quiet, with ev
ery' one seemingly content M follow
the time-worn policy of watchful
I waiting.
Local mills have plenty of cotton
on hand, it is said. Or at least they
have all of the local cotton they want
for rite present. Farmers are wait
ing for the “rise” which many predict
but no one seems right certain about.
Sevejal farmers have been heard to
remark lately that they are going to
sell when the market reaches 20
cents. Others are waiting for 25
cent prices. There seems to lie no
certainty that Jocal buyers will take
any great amount of the staple at any
i price.
Thai !oeal farmers can wait for
rite “break” is indicated by the fact
I that many are waiting. Thousands
| of bgles of cotton have been bought
i and sold on the local market this year,
but the majority of this came from
I otuside the county. % Cabarrus farm
ers have money or good credit ap
f parently, anti they don't have to sell.
I This is usually a dull season on the
local market, however, and conditions i
this year are not so different from
l other years. Cotton prices usually
go up or down at this season ami ev
ery one oeetns content to wait for the
[ inevitable “break."

THE CONCORB DaILV TRIBUNE
CAMPAIGN CONTESTANTS
HONORED AT BANQUffjT-
Yonmg Women Seeking Trip to CaQ
fprnla Guests of Merchants at ¥.
M. C. A.
Merchants of Concord who are ebn
ducting the California Tours Cam
paign were hosts Tuesday night to
the young women who are working
for the three prizes to be offered.
Employes in the business liousea
sponsoring the campaign and a few
other invited guests were present.
Conducted as an informal banquet,
the affair proved one of much interest
and pleasure, successfully serving its
purpose of increasing interest in the
campaign and giving contestants and
j merchants an opportunity to better
know one another.
Robert E. Ridenhour. Jr., manager
of Bob's, was toastmaster, and prac
tically ail of rite active'contestants
were present. As a means of get
ting pcquainted. Mr. Ridenhotir called
the I*ll of the contestants, those pres
ent rising to receive 10.000 eompli-
I mentary votes. Those answering the
roll call were:
Misses Catherine Wideiihouse. Julia
Willett. Addie White, Elizabeth
Black, ffanie Klutz, Peggie .Simpson,
Elizabeth Dick. Julia Harry, Mar
garet Parnell, Margaret Caton, Mary
Sochler, Margaret Fowlkes. Billie
Sapp. Bessie Furr, Ruth Crowell,
Bertha Rimer. Eugenia Lore. Mary
McClellan. Belle Means. lonise Mil
ler, Ruth Pudolaky, Lula Vmberger.'
Marie Barnhardt, Mary Lee Peck,
Sudella Frick, Anna Margaret Cress,
Inez Hamilton, Mrs. T. B. Sturgis.'
Mrs. J. A. Patterson, Mrs. R. M. Snp
penfield, and Mrs. Kuril Fryling
Marcho.
Toastmaster Ridenhour asked H. L.
Collie to explain the purpose of the
banquet and also to speak of the pur
pose of the campaign.
Mr Collie told his hearers that the
; banquet had been held for the purpose
] of getting better aqcuainted and as a
I means of creating greater interest in
j the campaign. "You -and the mer
chants stiouhl learn to know one an
! other." Mr. Collie said, “for you are
working for the same end, after all —
! making n bigger and better Concord."
! The campaign will cost the merchants
! more than $3,000. Mr. Collie Explain
ed, and they expect to get their money
back in increased business.
“You contestants arc really sales
women,” Mr. Collie told them, “for
you are trying to sell the merchants
who are conducting the campaign.
We want you to get new business
for us and at the same time to get
increased business for us from our
old customers.”
Mr. Collie tf&ring his talk read rite
rules of the contest, explaining them
in some detail and expressing the
opinion that all of the contestant-!
would live up to them.
Some discussion arose over a point
in one of the rules which provides
that no contestant should drop out
of tSe ;campaign and give her votes}
to tome other candidates. It was
agreed that surii action, coming as
it probably would at the fag end of 1
the campaign, would add a burden
on the Contestant who had worked
alone during the entire campaign. It
was voted by the contestant that all ,
would abide strictly by this rule.
V. L. Norman arso spoke, onefly :
outlining the purpose of the campaign
from the viewpoint of the merchant.
“We--want yon to get us business
from every one,” he said, “and espe
cially do we want new business. Spe
cial trade events, during which extra
votes will be offered, will be held
from time to time and you contest
ants should see to it that the public
buys from us during such a cam
paign." If the merchants and con
testants work together during the
campaign, much new business can be
brought into the eity, Mr. Norman
said.
Mrs. 11. S. Williams, who last year
spent several months on a trip to the
I’aeific Coact, most interestingly told
of the places She visited, the sights
she saw and the splendors of such
a journey. In her talk Mrs. Wil
liams started at New Orleans, fol
lowed the Southern route to Cali
fornia, described some of the beauty
spots and points of interest in that
state, and then described some of the
wonder one sees on the return trip
via Calt Lake City. Dike's Peak, Den
ver and other cities. This part of
the program was especially appro
priate in view of the fact that prizes
in the campaign are three free trips
to California, and Mrs. Williams de
scribed the routes to be followed and
some of the marvelous eight to be
seen mi such a journey.
The banquet menu waß
and served under the direction of Mrs.
IV. A. Foil. Music was furnished
by "Peck's Bad Boys.”
