'I ' - . ' TOE NEWS-nECCHD, MARSHAL N. C. SLACKiHG OF . . BUSINESS SIII SLOWING UP IS SHOWN IN RE. PORTS FOR APRIL AND MAY. . OFFICIALS STUDY .SITUATION Trade and LProductlon Continue In Large Volume, Saya Reaerve Board. Washington. Government officials whose departments are concerned with the economic situation throughout the country are giving more than cursory attention It was made known to the trend of general business as indicated by conditions which developed late In April and have continued Into May. While trade and production continu ed in large volume, reports to the fed eral reserve board show that there was slackening of business activity, although In comparison with the situ ation prevailing a year ago, general conditions are regarded as far better. The reserve board in a summary made public attributed part of the slowing In business to "seasonal Influences" but these It was declared In other quarters, could not be wholly respon sible. The reserve board noted decreases In the production of lumber, anthra cite and mill consumption of cotton. On the other hand, there were In creases reported' In such basic lines as the output of pig iron and petro leum. While car loadings were much lar ger for the period covered than for corresponding weeks in 1922 the short age of freight cars evident a few months ago has almost entirely disap peared. This was constructed by the reserve board to mean more than a seasonal decrease in shipping. The heavy volume of traffic appeared to be constituted mainly of manufactur ed goods. Tke weather was charged by the reserve board with responsibility for some of the reduction reported in de partment and retail store sales. Eas ter purchases, made In March, aug mented that month's total sales, but "unseasonable" weather held down April purchases. Accompanying the decline In sales which although not substantial In all lines was evident everywhere were cuts In prices of certain basic commo dities such as fuel and farm products. Clothing, metals and bundling mater lals however, were' slightly higher In price at the beginning of May than a month previously. Mail Robbery Nets $50,000. Staunton, Ills.

GHILD LABOR REGULATIONS Sound Warning Against Attempt of American Bolshevlkl to Control the i Congrats. ' w. Concord. Declaring the ''efforts of certain men and organization! tVcen trallre power In Congress," is the greatest menace this country facet to day, Senator Lee S. Overman, In an address here before the Concord jKwanls club, made an urgent plea tor conservation of our constitution; "the foundation of our country and the power of our liberty." Senator Overman was especially severe in his criticism of those peo ple who would "amend our constitu tion until we have none left. He pointed out that there are 71 bills to amend the constitution pending in Constitution pending In Congress now, and warned that some of them were very dangerous, especially those which would direct the teaching of birth control and would take away certain powers of our courts. Senator Overman was also em phatic in his denounciatioq of the amendment relative to regulating child labor In the United States. ' "If we pass an amendment statins; that no children can work until they are 18 and such an amendment has been offered, we will raise a nation of Idlers and loafers." Each state should be allowed to make ' its own laws relative to, the working of chil dren, the senator declared, and as an example of the efficiency of this plan,, he pointed out that in a senate com mittee last year it was admitted that North Carolina's child labor law Is the finest to be found in this country. Senator Overman said that he fa vored one of the 71 amendments off ered to Congress. "That is the Wads worth amendment," he explained. "This amendment would put all future amendments up to the people, and that is who should decide them. You cari't force any law created by a change In the constitution when the majority of the people do not favor the change." Senator Overman issued a warning against bolshevlkl, declaring they are attempting to gain control of Con gress. "They will take the powers from our courtr, once they get con trol," he warned, "and put everything in the hands of Congress. Power centralized in Conpress Is the great est menace facing this country today.1 Rights of states to regulate affairs within them is a divine right the senator said, and he plead with his hearers to fight against any movement that tends to further break down the constitution and weaken the rights of the states to "look after their own folks under local conditions."

Emerso, declared Dr. Henry Van Dyke, speaking at the unveiling of the philosopher's bust, Illustrated the noblest achievement of democracy to produce 'a spiritual aristocracy. He was an awakener, a liberator, a teacher of courage with prodence. "The question of today," Dr. Vau Dyke asserted, "Is whether the new generation of Americans will follow such native teachings as those of Emerson, or turn to idolatry of strange gods, like Freud, the renegade Jew, Nietzsche, the Insane German, and H. G. Wells, who thinks that he had In vented the only true religion which is communism. To turn from the writ ings pf these men to the poems and essays of Emerson is like coming out from a cabaret Into the fresh air." Martin W. . Littleton, president of the Southern Society bf New York, speaking at the unveiling of the statue of Lee from the chisel of George T. Brewster, declared that the Confed erate general was the embodiment of a cause which was lost, but the rep resentative 'of a principle which will never die. ' ' "The cause," he said, "was the ftight of a -state to withdraw from the Union; the principal was the right of state to withdraw from the Union; the, principle was primary and pa triotic loyalty to the sovereignty which he acknowledged. It meant, perhaps, more happiness to mankind that the cause be lost, but it meant perpetuity to civilization that the principle should survive." Five Killed at Crossing. '- . Franklin, Ohio.
