" The building was burned Monday night about 8 o'clock,, four hours af ter the children had gone home, and was valued at $600. Th teacher is rsaid to have stated that no fire had been in the building this year, and the prevailing opinion of the com mitteemen is that the building was fired intentionally.

LOCAL MODERN WOODMEN ENTERTAINED AT ASHEVILLE V- THE CAMPAIGN TO ORGANIZE COTTON GROWERS PROGRESSES - Wednesdady night a" delegation of -thirty or more Modern Woodmen journeyed to Asheville in one of the lage"1. buses that ply 'daily between Hendersonville and ' Ashevflle, and wen. most royally entertained by the members of Asheville camp." The Molester ; team of which Femwood .sCttan.V particularly proud, gave the fjlevillites a moat please conception of the degree, work in its entirety. A krre class of 'candidates were in- ;ed, into the mr'teries qf Wood The campaign to organize North Carolina cotton growers as an effi cient part of the American Cotton Association is now rapidly assuming definite workable shape, shows state campaign manager, S. G. Rubinow, in a survey made of the' activities in this state during the past month. . During this time the personnel 'pf the state organization has been per fected and sufficient funds secured to, meet its obligations up to , date. . .. In addition toNorganizing the headquart ers , at Raleigh, field organization is also progressing nicely. Nineteen counties are now lining up for the county organization with good,, live, energetic' business men as county chairmen of the campaign .Forty- five field meetings .have been scheduled to aid in the. organization to this workl wonderful co-operation has been given by the slate daily and weekly press in the matter of pub lishing stories. these striking facts: First: The movement is distinctly Southern, conceived by. Southern "Y" leaders in a conference at Blue Ridge, N". C., last January and to beysup- ported by Southern money. Second: ; An insistent demand from thousands of ex-service men who have returned to their homes in small towns,, rural communities and industrial settlements after feeling the influence and seeing the effective ness of "Y" work in army camps and on the battlefields of France is res ponsible in no small measure for the inspiration of the movement. E. G. Wilson,' who is organizing and will direct the financial drive October 20-30 for the $80,000 needed to put on the program worked out for North Carolina, declares that at every conference there has not only been interest and enthusiasm, but aleo confidence in the willingness of the people of the State to contribute $80 000 or any other sum needed to sup port the new program. T "Tjhe Y. M, C. A-"has been operat ing in North Carolina for the past 40 years and is reaching, only J 5 to 20 per cent oi tne young men ana Doy of the State, declares Mr. Wilson "The City Association, College Asso ciations and the Associations in In dustrial communities are doing a wonderful. work, but 80 per cent of the boys and young men of the State live in small towns and rural com munities and are -not touched. "Conditions today challenge us. Unless a start is made today in com munity work in the rural districts and jn small towns, it may be genera tions before1 anything is done. If the Y; M. C. A, doesn't do it some other agency, which disregards the relig ious and moral innuences tnai are characteristic of association activities may occupy the field. It has a train ed personnel -largely augmented, tested, strengthened, and seasoned as a result-of the work in the army camps and in France." The possibilities for wonderful re sults, in foreign neias are seen Dy Mr, Wilson, who declares that not only France and other European nations, but even Turkey is asking for the maintenance and extension of Y. M. C. A. establishments. The vital importance of organiz ing and extending association work in" colleges anjl high schools has been stressed by Mr. Will L. Chandler of the boys.' work department of the in ternational committee. The Hi-Y Clubs are becoming a power for wholesome influences in . the high schools of the states that have tried them out. The beneficial results of boys' summer camps are recognized and the new program of the associa tion in this state calls for an appro priation of $10,000 for the establish ment of two permanent camps. S. K. Hunt, who has just joined the staff of the state committee as county work secretary is enthusiastic over the possibilities, of his special field. The big object of the. work in rural communities . is to discover, inspire, and assist potential, leaders in every community and to furnish a program for . the work in these communities. This feature of the new program is being heartily commended from all over the state and is so important that Mr. Hunt was engaged for the) work even before the new plans were an nounced or the financial drive made. Both Democratic and Republican parties in Massachusetts, in conven tion assembled in Boston last Satur day, put themselves on record as op posed to the acceptance of the peace treaty and league covenant in the form it was handed to the Senate by the President. The Demoratic convention adopted resolutions favoring1 the ratification of the treaty, including the league covenant, only "provided the cove nant is so amended as to give no other nation more votes than the United States, to 'protect the sover- ignty of the American people, to pro tect the right of self determination and' to refrain from adding to the burdens of peoples wanting to be free, and independent."
