THE ONLY CREATORIn the

Word was God. All things were
made by him ; and without him was
not any thing made that was made.
—John l:l.o.
IS STILL A VITAL QUESTION.
The anthracite miners and opera
tors have patched up their differences
‘ for the time being. Under the ngroe-
V ment reached last week at the Phila
delphia conference work is to be re
sumed under a five-year contract.
The agreement brings to an end one
of the longest and most serious strikes
. in the anthracite industry, but does
?* it serve as anything except a tempor
. ary basis for aetion? That's the real
trouble. What the country ueeds is
a permanent remedy for strike neces
sity.
The fact that this strike nas been
does not lessen the importance
' of devising some permanent method
of settling differences that are certain
to artse in the future. What is going
to happen when the five-year contract
v expires? There is almost certain to
be another strike unless some faot
. finding agency can be in operation.
President Uoolidge has made several
feeble moves in the direction of fact
finding yet he has never really vigor
~ ousl3' sponsored any measure looking
- to a prevention of strikes. In his last
, v message to Congress he made a rce
'ommendation but that's all. lie hasn't
done anything to get that recommen
dation before Congress* To be sure
a Congressman stated on the flay the
strke was settled that his committee
was ready to take action on the
President's recommendation, yet we
have seen no mention of the Presi
dent doing anything further in the
matter. It is not enough for a Pres
ident to make recommendation on such
an imiwrtant question. He should
press the matter. It is imperative
that we get a permanent solution.
Says the New York World:
What the public was told to ex
pect and had a right to hope for from
this the longest of all coal strkes
wavs a reorganization of the industry
in the public interest. At the least
* there should have been established a
continuous ffcct-fimling agency which
would show what coal profits are and
what, on the basis of costs, the min
ers might reasonably ask as wafces.
,There should have been. too. some per
manent body which could use the in
formation supplied by the fact-finding
agency in order to report on dead
locks in the industry as a guide to
public opinion.
The settlement as reported ignores
all the constructive features of the va
. rious plans proposed during the nego
; tiufions." The I’inehot plan, app-oved
by the miners, included fact-finding.
" The Markh- plan, approved bv the o.|.
era tors, included fact-finding. The
miners, at Philadelphia, offered a
s scheme for non-binding arb : trutmn. All
' this seems to have been forgotten in
t, the settlement which was urtuully
i>' In view of this extremely unsatts
; factory settlement in anthracite, in
, vieti of the ominous condition in bi
tuminous,' it is more tlian ever neces
. ««ry for <'ongres* to enact leg : slation
along the lines of the Oddie bill. It
is apparent., that the coal industry is
TCKjifiMkble of reforming itself, it can
fe- only tight and make truces. The real
’ text, therefore, is still to come. It

JUDGES LEAVING THE BENCH.'
Two noted Superior Court Judges
in North Carolina within a week’s
time announced their plans to retire
from the bench. Judge Thad D. Bry- '•
son was first to make the announce- ]
ment and later in the week Judge'
Henry P. Lane said he wanted to
have more fredom and fewer cares.
1 It is rumored already that Judge
Bryson is going to run against Asso
ciate Justice Clarkson for a place on
the Supreme Court bench. Judge
Bryson is one of the ablest lawyers in
the State, is prominently known in
all parts of the State and is unmis
takably one of the finest judges in the
State. He would undoubtedly make a
strenuous fight against Just'ce Clark
son.
Judges find it hard sledding on
their present-day salaries in North
Carolina. Most any sort of a lawyer
can make more money than a judge,
yet the latter are usually outstand
ing lawyers, men capable of making
twice as ranch or more in private prac
tice as on the bench. Judge Bryson
and Judge Lane have served their
State well and their places will not
be easily filled.
A DEATH A DAY FROM AUTOS.
While automobile accident fatali
ties in North Carolina slumbed from
45 in December to 30 in January, we
maintain the average of one death a
day.
However, figures made public by
the Health Bureau show that there
was a sharp decline in the total num
ber of violent deaths from all causes,
there being 111 violent deaths in Jan
uary as compared with 158 in De
cember. Deaths from burns decreased
from 38 to 23; railroad accident
deaths from 9 to 7; homicides from
22 to 16: grade crossings from 5 to
4: accidental gunshot wounds from
16 to 11 : and fatal kunshot wounds
of doubtful nature from 12 to 6. Sui
cides increased from 10 to 12 and ac
cidental drownings from 1 to 2.
PECAN PLANTING WEEK
March 8-13 Designated by the Agri
cultural Extension Forces.
Raleigh. N. <’.. Eeb. 16.—(A*)—
March 8 to 13 has been designated by
the agricultural' extension forces at
State College as Pecan Planting
Week.
A period between middle of Febru
ary and mdidle of March is the ideal
and the middle of March is the ideal
season for planting peacan trees, it
is stated by the extension workers.
Planters are. therefore, being urged to
arrange for the trees and have them
arrive in time to be planted during
the week of March 8. Thousands of
pecan trees are expected to be set
throughout North Carolina during
that week.
Assistance in the campaign for the
planting of pecan trees is being ren
dered the extension workers by the
Pecan Growers’ Society at Raleigh.
The extension workers point out that
the society has the facilities which
will enable plahters to secure first
class trees of the right varieties and
is also prepared to furnish planters
information about -setting Out and
earing for the trees.
It is proposed that each county
plan to plant a certain number of
trees this spring, the number for each
county ranging from 100 to 1.000. It
is being suggested that farmers co
operate with the county agents and
iieip to secure the quota of planting
for their respective counties.
The American Tree Association of
Washington. I). with thousands, of
members, has notified the department;
of horticulture that it will offer five
prizes to each school of vocational
agriculture in North Carolina through
which the largest number of pecans is
planted this spring, one prze for each - ‘
of the five districts.
This association will also send to
each person planting a pecan tree a
Certificate showing that having as ft
good citizen planted a tree such per
son has been elected as a member of
the American Tret- Association.
WETS THING TO CAPTURE

Gastonia Pastor Preaches on Nation

“Amens.”
Gastonia. Feb. 15—That America
has been notoriously ill-governed for a
long time, because of extravagance
and unscrupulous machinery of poli
ticians; that the civil service law ex
ists only in name and is a mere mat
ter of form : that Americans are too
prone to believe that the voice of the
people is the voice of God. and that
they have to learu to vote fop the
right man. regardless of party, were
some of the criticisms of national pol
itics advanced by Dr. F. J. Prcttyman
last night in his sermon. “The Fate
ful of Ambition," or "The Snare
of Politics."
The former United States Senate
chaplain smiled when, near the (lose
of the sermon, several fervent amens
were heard, and said. "1 could not
get your amens on religion, but I got
them on politics.”
The sermon readied its climax when
Dr. Prcttyman made the charge that
a systematic campaign is being waged
to tile firm conviction of the south re
garding tile eighteenth amendment.
"Certain politicians and great metro-'
po.itan dailies are dabbing at the
foundations of the strong convictions.
If they can make us wobble enough in
our opinion on this poiht, why then,
you kiiow for whom you will have
to vfite in the next presidential elec

[ Charlotte, Feb. 14.—Only a rew
years ago the textile manufacturing
of the South was confined very large
,ly to yams, sheetings, printeloths,
| gingham, plaids, plain hosiery and
j other staple goods and very few peo
' pie realize the ' extent to which
specialty weaving, knitting, bleach
ing, dyeing and processing have en
tered this section during the. past
few years.
Not only have many mills changed
from sheeting, print clotus and ging
hams to silk and rayon mixtures, but
small weaving plants are being

Post and Flagg's Cotton Letter.
New York, Feb. 15.—The market
has been somewhat heavy, being un
der some pressure of speculative sell
ing early on orders attributed to op
erators in southern winter re*»rts.
Local traders joined in the selling
to some extent as sentiment in those
eireles is becoming increasingly bear
ish as a result of the indifferent spot
demand which, it is argued, must
sooner or later be reflected in pres
sure from accumulations of the ac
tuals. e
So far nothing of the sort has de
veloped hpd near months hold their
relative position firmly while the local
stock continues to lose with the pros
pect that further shipments before the
end of the montfiN will reduce it to
a mere bagatelle as there is no sign
of cotton heading this way to fill the
•gaps. The situation is so anomalous
as to defy analysis or permit forming
positive opinions.
People in a position to know as
sert that there is still much price
fixing to be done and the ease with
which the market absorbs offerings
even when fairly heavy, as today,
lend* confirmation to that opifiion
as except fur. occasional sputa of cov
ering by shorts there seems no other
source for the demand. It looks
that the actual trade considers both
crops reasonable in price at this level
though perhaps more particularly the
new crop and is laying in protection
1 to some extent against possible later
scares which have come to be regard
ed ns about automata and inevit
able as the precision of the equinoxes.

Emile's imprecatlens died behind
hie teeth and an ashy pallor
drained the drink-heated blood
from his face when, upon, bearing
a scornful laugh behind him. he
turned to look full into the sneer

Michael, had softly opened the
door and stepped Into the room.
Emile cursed the luck that had
made him neglect to lock the door.

“Why are you following me around

Dechine coolly stepped close to
