He Saw in Piedmont
Was “Revelation.”

ft Echoes from tlie visits mads by
■ L northern bankers and investment |
■' I brokers to the Southland. f6r the pur-'
’ a peso of Retting first-hand information
about conditions here, are being heard
HI now that the visitors have returned
H to their native heath and have given
U| expression to the sentiments aroused
rft by (he new birth of the South.
}'■ When a party of visitors from
Washington, New York and other
I eastern cities stopped in Kannapolis
last week to visit the Cannon Manu
facturing Company, I was careful to
watch the things that interested them.
They paid close attention to the ma
chinery. to be sure, and the houses
and equipment received attention, but
that group of men for the most part
were giving more thought to the em
ployes and their surroundings than to
material possessions of mill company.
This was due no doubt to the fact
that in the north stories, bused on
conditions that existed half a century
ago perhaps, have pictured the south
ern cotton mill worker ns ill-nurtured,
half-clad and weak in mind and body.
The class of laborers seen by the visi
tors is the one thing that lias made
the biggest impression on them.
This is demonstrated by a para
graphs from an article by .John E. Fen
nelly. writing in Commerce and Fi
nance, after a visit to the South with
n party s|>onsored by the Southern
Railway Company and Walter S.
Case, of Case. I’omeroy and Co. The
paragraph reads:
"What I saw in the Piedmont was
a positive revelation. In place pf
ha If-starved, ill-clad laborers I had
, been led to expect, the workers of the
I Piedmont revealed a picture of pros
perous well-being that I had not
thought possible in thin machine age
of onrs. Wherever we went we saw
the same fine specimens of young
American manhood and womanhood,
alert, well-dressed and with a look
of youthful happiness about them that
one is not accustomed to associate
with the so-called slave of the ma
chine. There* was nowhere to be
seen that dull, weary stare so char
acteristic of the factory worker, who
fights a losing battle with monotony,
long hours and with a wage standard
of the bare margin of subsistence.”
Mr. Case brought forty investment
bankers of the East to this section on
a special train to let them judge the
South, its people and its opportunities
for themselves.
The parties visited Kannapolis.
Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High
Point, Charlotte, Atlanta, Birming
ham, Asheville and points in eastern
Tennessee.
"Few of us had appreciated,” Mr.
I FenneUy states, "that a young and
l virile ginnt this new South really is,
and how rapidly it is challenging the
world for industrial supremacy.”
Mr. Fennelly declares that the
wealthy bankers saw far more than
mere machinery, that “we sow some
thing that caught the heartstrings of
- every man of us, sonihttiing to remem
ber long after the sight and sound of
the machines have been forgotten: We
looked into the faces of the Piedmont
worker and read there the future
greatness of the South.”
! The writer admits that he came
knowing not what to expect because
he had heard “gruesome tales of in
dustrial feudalism in the South, tales
of sweated child labor, of a semi-peon
age for adults, heart-breaking hours
and poor conditions of work for the
women.”
"Perhaps,” Mr. Fennelly said,
‘‘there are communities and factories
in the South where conditions of the
worker are as bad as they had been
painted for me. Unquestionaly we
saw only the most progressive and
modern establishments in the territory
and, therefore, I cannot pretend to
have made a comprehensive survey.
And perhaps my impressions were
colored b,v a certain familiarity with
the tenement worker of New York
Qity, and by my anticipation of find
ing conditions far worse than thAe
I actually saw. In any event, I can
only testify that what I did see was
all to the credit of the southern man
ufacturer.
“The one disquieting thing to me
was disquieting in its potentialities
rather than in the actualities that I
saw. This was the undeniable state
of industrial feudalism that exists in
many of the southern factory towns.
. Wherever we saw this condition, it
was clearly a case of benevolent au
tocracy, but there is no blinking the
fact that, where an employer has such
complete control over the destiny and
welfare of his workers, there are
bound to be a case of grave injustice
and tyranny. In the factories we
visited, the laborers work, on the av
erage, a day of nine and one-half
hours, for five and one-half days a
week. Long hours, perhaps, for mo
notonous factory work, but not ab
normally long as compared with other
i sections of the country.”

OPPOSE EVOLUTION
ISSUE IN LEGISLATURE
Alt Three Candidates for Speakers
Are Opposed to It.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, .Tune 15.—Evolution will
have little chance of becoming an is
sue in the next general assembly if
the attitude of those who are seeking
the speakership of the House of Rep
resentatives is any indication of the,
way things will go. It will be re
membered that it was in the house
that the Poole bill was born, lingered
iiickeringly and then passed on to
that land where all good little dead
bills go. And although Poole was
re-elected—or renominated—in the
primary just past, even the most ard
ent friends of fundamentalism who
favor tampering with education by
means of legislation, have little hope
that the measure "pnpaed" by Poole
will be in any danger of becoming a
law at the approaching session of the
legislature.
There arc already three candidates
for the speakership actively in the
field, it was learned today. They are
H. G. Connor, 6f Wilson, in Wilson
county; R. T. Fountain, of Rocky
Mount, Edgecombe county, and N. A.
Townsend, of Dunn, in Harnett coun
ty. All three are strong men and]
men of ability. They have all had
previous experience in the legislature,
and are well tit ted to perform the
di ties of tile speakership, their
friends say.
But here is where the evolution in
sect inserts itself into the matter.
All three voted against the Poole bill
when it once was an issue and ail
arc known to be opposed to any such
measures again coming before the leg
islature. It may even be remem
bered. that when the Poole bill was
before the committee ou education,
that it .was Representative Connor,
that broke the tie and east the ueeid- 1
ins vote in the committee, whereby the
bill was unfavorably reported.
Now, since the makeup of the com
mittee on educution is in the hands
of the speaker, and ail three candi
dates for the speakership are known |
to be unfavorable to any legislation |
affecting the teaching of evolutiou, it I
is considered extremely unlikely that
any similar measure would stand ■
much chance of getting a favorable
report from the committee.

THE COTTON MARKET

Today—Covering Movement in Evi
dence.
New York, June 15.— Of) —The cot
ton market showed renewed, Steadi
ness eari.v today. The covering move
ment which had developed yesterday
after the severe break late last week
remained in evidence, and probably
was promoted by relatively steady Liv
■ erpool cables, reports of a good tone
in the stock market, and nervousness
over the possibility that the prospects
for rather unsettled weather in the
southwest would eulmirihte in rains,
although showers in that section
would not be considered unfavorable,'
The opening was steady at an ad
vance of 2 to 5 points. Active
months sold 8 to 10 points net high
er in the early morning.
July advanced to 17.71 and Decem
ber to 10.44. Trading was compar
atively quiet. The advance met a
little selling on reports of showers in

mayor of Paulsboro. anil his bride.
52. today were receiving congratula
tions from townspeople after he had
blocked efforts to prevent his marri
age by having him committed to the
state hospital for the insane.
Dr. Pounds and Miss Jennie Stiles
were married shortly before midnight
after two score indignant citizens had
driven to the hospital in Trenton in
motor ears and convinced tile doctors
that Dr. Pounds was of sound mind.
Tl»> aged man was torn from the side
of his intended bride yesterday morn
ing by two unidentified men who dis
played paiiers calling for his commit
ment to the institution.
Dr. Pounds asserted that his son.
Charles, who lived in Newton Square.
Pa., was responsible for his treat
ment.
The action aroused the population
of Paulsboro. Nearly 50 citizens went
to Trenton to obtain Dr. Pounds' re
lease. and when they returned with
him the entire town turned out. Fac
tory whistles shrieked and church
bells sounded a welcome that brought
men, women and children to the
streets.
At first Dr. Pounds and Miss Stiles
demurred at a speedy wedding, saying
they were not prepared, but friends
were insistent and they finally agreed.
A clergyman, the Rev. J. W. Lynch,
was hastily summoned and the cere
mony was performed in St. Paul's
Methodist Episcopal Church, which
was crowded. Mayor Don Bnnnaman.
of Paulsboro, acted as best man.
After tile wedding ceremony the
briiie returned to her mother's horse
and Dr. Pounds spent the night at tlie
home of a friend.
Dr. Pounds’ first wife died last year
and his marriage to Miss Stiles was
said the the latter’s mother to have
been the fulfillment of n dying wish
expressed by the former Mrs. Pounds.
Overman’s Majority’ About 50,000.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, June 15.—Now that elec
tion bet on how large a majority Sen
ator Lee S. Overman rolled up in his
contest with Robert R. Reynolds can
be settled. But Sh J h-h. It's a se
cret !
Os course no one its supposed to
know until tomorrow when the State
board of elections meets to canvass
tlie returns, just what the actual fig
ures are, but The Tribune correspond
ent has “unoffiiciaily” learned that
Senator Overman’s majority is with
in only a few votes of being 50,000,
with complete returns from some four
or five counties yet to be included.
So those who bet that Overman
would win by a majority of 50,000 or
less—and maybe more, can collect
right now without waiting until to
morrow.

Washington. June 15.—(A3)—Wil
liam S. Yare. the victor in the repub
lican senatorial primary in Pennsyl
vania this year, told the senate cam
paign funds committee the story of his
successful fight against Pepper and
Governor Pincbot.
Questioned at length about the un-1
usual expenditure during the cam-1
paign. Mr. Yare explained the politi
cal organization through which hi* I
campaign fund was collected and
spent. Figures previously submitted
have brought up to almost SOOO,OOO
the total spent in his behalf and have
placed at nearly $2,000,000 the grand
total of the fund collected for the three
rivals’ tickets.
Washington. June . 15.—C43)—Non
plussed over the ins and outs of cam
paign collections made in Pennsylvania
this spring for William S. Yare, the
Senate campaign funds committee to
day had to change Its course of inves
tigation and tackle the question from
a new angle.
With Thomas F. Watson, treasur
er of the Yare organization in Phila
delphia. on the stand. Chairman Heed
exhausted his celebrated talents as a
cross examiner in an effort to find out
the original source of a s2f>.oo<) con
tribution. and finally gave it up and
quit the committee room.
“Anyone can ask this gentleman
questions that wants to,” said Heed.
“I am through.”
With that he walked out. The
crowd buzzed, and Watson sat wait
ing in the witness chair.
Senator McNairy, republican, of
Oregon, finally rapped for order and
questioned Watson, who said the $25,-
000 which he himself contributed to
the fund. represented
from his business over quite a period.
The witness also said he drew part
of it out of the bank.
By this time Heed had returned,
however, and he went back to the ex
amination.
“You had money in the bank where
it was safe, and took it to your office?”
Ihe asked. “Yes. I accumulated the
$25,000 because I did not want to
send a check, as I did not want it to
appear I had contributed $25,000 to
the campaign.” Watson finally said.
At that, the chairman called the
committee to a corner of the room,
where it decided to excuse Watson
and decide later whether to call for
his books and accounts at the bank.
Harry A. Mackey, city treasurer of
Philadelphia, and statewide manager
of the Vare organization, then was
called to the stand.
Mackey went through a long de
scription of how he organized the
state and appealed to all fraternal or
ganizations to support Yare. He
asked Representative Morin to organ
ize in Pittsburgh and look after ad
joining counties. L. S. Roberts and
King Folfe in Armstrong county were
the managers for Yare in Allegheny
county and signed a receipt for $2,-
000 they received from Morin for cam
paign work.
“I was told they divided the money
after getting it in Pittsburgh, each
taking $1,000,” said Mackey. ‘King
Wolfe dropped in one of those Pitts-
I burgh political clubs. When he walked
out his face was battered in and the
SI,OOO was gone."
“Was that a Pepper or Pinchot po
litical club?” asked Senator King.
Democrat, of Utah. “I can’t say,”
Mackey replied.
The early season gossip that “Babe”
Ruth whs slipping has now been put
away in moth balls.
