MATION BY GOVERNOR Vnrih Carolina is Singularly fclessod In This FttTRot the Orphan tlu I r and the Unfortunate. Governor Bicketi has isuic 1 the fol- 1 ;., .-,,-lamsition for Thnn Day in North Carolina: Vt,,r forefathers tstnblis'i"t the beautiful custom of sett in :i)a.rl..0"f, ,lav near the end of the harvest time to "return thanks to Almighty .od for the blessings oi in "In this H'ooi vcmi- 11H0 how much l,.m-fnl ? Vinve WO fol' W i h to I' who on last Thanks- piving Hay, wee far away in foreign land, have safely crossed the seas and are at homo again in happiness and peace. , "The Lord of the Harvest lias been pood to us. Our fields have yielded bountifully. Our industries rave thrived wonderfully. Prosperity smiles on farm and factory, b'.i'ik and In every line of business en- Hnvr we ar,. m-osm ring beyond the fondest dreams of our fathers. "TIip has been also a mighty tri u ,t vtiivitnnl forces in our midst fur which we should be profoundly P-ratpful. The fruits of this victory nre seen in the groat forward move mnntc of nil the churches: in the finer educational- advantages enjoyed by all the children of the Stale; in the growing demand for omplete ami economic justice in taxation and in all other matters; and in the larger opportunities offered on every hand to the average man and the average woman. Surely in this day God has triven to men everywhere a bigger, Broader, conception of Christian ser vice than they have ever had before. "North Carolina is singularly blessed in that in this time of turmoil, she is almost entirely free from in dustrial and radical bitterness and strife. Wc should bt, deeply thank ful for the spirit of friendship and good will that prevails among us. Let us pray for absolute justice for all, by which alone this spirit may be strengthened and maintained "Now, therefore, I, Thomas Walter Bickett, Governor of North Carolina, in obedience to custom established by our fathers and in accordance with the proclamation of the President of the United States, do hereby pro claim Thursday, November 27, a day of public Thanksgiving. . "Lej- this be a day of rest and re joicing, observed by everybody. Let us not forget the orphan, the poor and the unfortunate. I earnestly trusr that all the people will assem ble in their places of worship and make fjis a real Thanksgiving day." AYORLD-'VYIDE SHORTAGE OF KEWSritlNT PAPER Newspapers Are Using About 10 Per Cent. More Paper Than is Bein? Produced Remedies Suggested. Material increases in advertising and subscription rates, limitation of the size of newspapers and provision in advrtising contracts whereby rates can be adjusted monthly or quarterly were among the recommendations made Nov. 12 in New York by a spe cial convention of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association, called to consider the newsprint shortage. The report of the resolutions com mittee adopted unanimously says: "Paper manufacturers have told us that there is a world-wide shortage of paper. Aj. the present rate of con sumption the newspapers are using about 10 per cent more paper than is being produced. This means an an nual shortage on the present basis of approximately 200,000 tons. Your committee, therefore, recommends: "That tne regulations of the War Industries Board for the conservation of newsprint be strictly adhered to, and that the full text of all these reg ulations be sent to all the daily ard Sunday newspapers of the United States whether or not they are mem bers of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association. "That publishers everywhere be urged to materially increase adver tising and subscription rates and at the same time limit the size of their issues. "That no newspaper enter into a yearly contract for advertising at a fixed rate, but make rates adjustable monthly or quarterly. "That the American Newspaper Publishers' Association send oat a standard form of adjustable contract for advrtising. "That the paper committee strong ly discourage the hoarding of punt paper."

While $20,&00,000 of the $76,000,000 to be raised in cash and five-year pledges by the Southern Baptists be- teen now and December 7th will go to foreign missions, $12,000,000 will be devoted to missions at home, It has been officially announced. Home mis slona is regarded by the Batlsts as quite as es-?ntial as foreign missions, the larger sun being- set aside for the latter cause by reason of the larger field to be covered practically the entire world. DR. B. D. Gray, Of Atlanta, Ga., Secretary of Home Missions for the Southern Baptist Convention. "Twelve million dollars' Is a large figure when compared with what we have been doing heretofore," Dr. D. B. Gray, corresponding secretary of the Heme Mission Board at Atlanta, de clares, "but it 13 very reasonable In comparison with our ability and small In comparison with the needs of the Home Mission fields." Setting forth the particular obliga tion which confronts America since the war has transferred the center of education from Europe to this coun try, Dr. Gray says: "This brings a new day of opportunity and responsi bility to our people. Our schools and colleges must be strengthened and en dowed. They must be made thorough ly christian In fact as well as In the ory. In this- way .we are to counteract the vicious ideals of Germany and her allies in the world war. Oar youth must be trained on proper lines as to religion and ethics. This can be done best tn our denominational schools.' Some of the educational institutions fcKtered by tho Home Mission Board are the forty mountain schools, serv ing 3,000,000 residents of the South living in mountainous territory where publio high schools are lacking. Fully $10,000,000 could be used to advantage In strengthening the equipment and teaching force of these schools, It Is estimated, so great Is the need. Another demand of the home field Is the 4,000 church organizations In the South which need assistance in the erection of sutable houses of .wor ship, while more pressing still Is the problem created by the presence in the South of 10,000,000 negroes. Speak ing of the negro problem, Dr. Gray says: 'They are of more vital co cera to Ur than any hundred millions of people anywhere else In the world. Socially, politically, economically and religiously they constitute our great est task and wp neglect them at our own perjl as well as their Infinite loss. Racial relations are tense and the sit uation callB upon Southern BaptiitS for a worthy program In behalf of th religious uplift of our brother In black. "We must lead them in sana missionary and evangelistic work and likewise in tha developpment of their religious life on sane and helpful lines. "We need a large company of the best, wisest and strongest negro evangelists and teachers vzho shall help as to lift up their race end make them worthy and worth while as Christian citizens." That work amcng the foreigners in the homeland oilers the best and most economical opportunity for missionary labors among tbcm anywhere, Is the declaration of the Home Mission lead ers. These foreigners are in th fields, mines and factories and are a vital part of our civilization. This work among the foreigners not only g'ves them the christian religion, bat makes them more contented and tot ter American citizens, it i pointed out. Great hopes for the future of th churches in the South are held out In tho enlarged program of evangelism end enlistment which the Baptist T Million Campaign will make possible. The Home Board hopes to win from 800,000 to 600,000 people in the South vho are not christians 4rlnj tlM jiod of the campaign. w i mm J V "nrr "i wrwr'n?',W'?2 are subject to bowel trouble: moth ere must be . caj-efnl about this.

Sis For Sale by Pope Drug Company THE GREAT RISE IN COTTON PRICES 50-Cent Cotton is Predicted in Near Future Some Are Storing and Holding For Higher Prices. (From Monthly Review of Producers' Prices, issued bv the Division ol Markets of the North Carolina Agri cultural Extension Service, Wm. R. Camp, Chief.) The cotton market has shown large gains during October, futures gain ing about 500 points, and spots seven to eight hundred. The demand for better grades is excellent; and they are bringing large premiums over the other grades. A forty cent level has been reached in practically all other States except North Carolina. In some cases this cotton is not any better than the average of North Carolina. Galveston, Texas, reports 40 l-2c as their high mark Saturday, November 1st, for 1 inch cotton. The hiehest reported in North Carolina Saturday was 37 l-2c and some mar kets as low as 35 l-2c. Thase prices are the highest at the different mar kets and of course are for the best grades. This difference of two cents in prices is not due to a difference in the character of cotton, but to a difference in market conditions. Practically all dealers in cotton, in cluding the mill men, are bullish on the market, and often fifty cent cot ton is predicted for the near future. Some people are storing their cotton in warehouses, holding for higher prices, and u seems as though they are going to get it; however, the ma jority are selling at these prices. Good grades are very scarce, and would bring almost any reasonable premium you would ask. The major ity of cotton moving now is of the grades of strict low and low middling. In consequence of a resolution pass ed by Congress, the United States Department of Agriculture estimated the condition of the cotton crop in October 25th at 51.1 comparing with 54.4 on September 25th. A private estimate received during the past week, estimates this crop at 9,450,000 and it seems to be the opinion of the majority who are in a position to know, that the crop will be under 10, 000,000 bales. If Landowners Buck Camp Bragg , May Be Abandoned. Its Washington correspondent writes the Raleigh News and Observ er ui.der date oj' Nov. 13 that the re-l ported disposition of landowners m the Camp Bragg area to raise the price of their property above the figures of the government appraisers will interfere with the inclusion of the $1,175,000 item for the camp when the military affairs committee sends in the omnibus army camp appropria tion bill at the next session of Con gress. This is set forth in a letter from the chairman of that committee to Representative Godwin. It is re ported thaj. landowners in the area were planning to raise the price agreed upon with the agents cf the War Department as much as 200 per cent, in some instances. If that is true it is said that Camp Bragg may De aoandoned, after all. WATCH THE LABEL. Watch the date opposite the name on the label on your paper.

ELECTRIC SERVICE CO, Laarinbnrf, N. C. NEARLY EVERYBODY READS IT Mr. M. N. Folger haa been traveling about over Robeson county a great deal daring the past few months. Some weeks ago he was engaged by The Robesonian, in connection with his other work, to solicit subscriptions. The other day he stopped the editor on the street . "Dogged if I can find any body who does not take The Robesonian," he said. "I did find one man the other day." hft continued, "who said he did not take the paper, but he said he read his daddy's paper." Well, well. Nearly every body in Robeson takes thig al bum of song and compendium of useful information. And those who do not subscribe read somebody else's paper. Cotton Ginned in Scotland. Laurinburg Exchange. There were ginned in Scotland county prior to November 1st 26,853 bales of cotton of the 1919 crop as compared with 21,810 bales of the 1918 crop to the same date last year. The figures were compiled by Special Agent W. N. McKenzie and have been certified by the Census Bureau at Washington. The showing is a splen did one and unless the crop is prac tically all gathered, the county will produce a record-breaker for the good year 1919. J. D. McCall is Mecklenburg's Choice For Congress. Johnson D. McCall, a member of the Charlotte bar and a leader in the Democratic ranks in that section for years, was chosen as Mecklenburg's candidate in the congressional pri mary fight against Clyde K. Hoey of Shelby, by the precinct committeemen of the county Saturday. The three defeated candidates for the endorse men of the Democratic voters of Mecklenburg, and also Judge W. B.
