REDUCE ACREAGE.
Mr. Harvey Jordan urged a reduc
tion in cotton acreage of 33 per cent.
Mr. Moore, former president of the
state association, Mr. Smithfof the
South Carolina branch and other lead
ers have been urging the necessity
for a reduction of cotton acreage, and
a greater diversification of other
farm products.
In order to still further stimulate
the raising of other products than
cotton the agricultural department
and the Mecklenburg Fair Associa
tion, as was noted in The News yes
terday, have offered handsome prizes
for the "Best, and most artistically
arranged collective agricultural indi
vidual exhibit." This incentive, ad
ded to the already strong realization
that the welfare of the cotton farmer
rests to a large extent this year in
raising other crops, and cutting
down the cotton acreage, will no
doubt have the desired effect. In
support of his advice to reduce acre
age 33 per cent Mr. Jordan, says:
"With a shortage in the world's sup
ply of cotton amounting to 4,500,000
bales, due to bad seasons last year,
the price of spot cotton continues
to go steadily down. The American
mills have been for some time cur
tailing manufacture of cotton goods,
due to trade depression, and the con
dition of foreign trade is none too
bright at the present time, and if
the same acreage is planted in cot
ton this year that was planted in
1907 and is followed by good seasons
in America, India and Egypt, grow
ers will find but little or no profit
in the harvest next fall."
The truth of the above cannot be
denied. And facing the facts Mr.
Jordan sets forth, it falls upon each
and every farmer to do his part in
this work. Co-operation is needed.
One set of farmers can not save the
day for their neighbors before the
ends sought can be obtained unity
of action must be had. The finacial
status of the southern farmer rests
in his action in this matter now
being urged by Mr. Jordan and other
men who know what they are talking
about. j

, Those "Merry Widow" hats are
all right so long as they go in the

High Point has 12,000 inhabitants,
and they all think there is no place
like their home town. That is the
principal reason for the large number.
Over one thousand saloons were
voted out of Illinois yesterday. It

The Asheville Gazette-News thinks
the" statement of Emma Goldman,
"I will talk when I d pease," was
a "womanly statement, made in a
manly way."
Just when the Cleveland Star had
accumulated $30 a heartless burglar
broke into it's till and made away
with the savings. Evidently the
cracksman was a novice. Profession
als never bother a newspaper shop.
The Anglo-Saxon has this beauti
ful compliment for the Queen City:
"Of course Charlotte got the demo

Carolina and we are proud of North
Carolina an dwe are proud of Char

"THE PRODIGAL'S RETURN'
Rev. Frank Siler Preaches on This
Subject Tonight.
The last morning service of the Un
ion Methodist meeting was held at
Tryon Street church today. Tomor
row, at 3:30 p. m., Rev. Frank Siler
will preach especially to women, and
on Saturday, at the same hour, there
will be a meeting for children and
young people. Tonight the subject will
be "The Return." of theProdigal."
Last night's service was the most
largely attended of any yet held, and
the increasing interest in the services
is evident from the constantly growing
congregations.
Rev. Frank Siler preached on what
he called the greatest question in the
world "What must I do to be saved?"
The sermon was replete with illus
trations which illustrated truths which
were mighty in their power over the
hearts of men.
A number of the workers who held
services at the various mills and shops
yesterday reported several conversions
and ouite a good crowd of the people
who attended these noon hour services
were present last night.

Orison Sweet Maiden, the man who
both by his books and magazine, has
so ably developed the success idea,
recently published an article on the
subject of "Getting the Best Out of
Employes." He calls attention to the
fact that there are certain plants and
trees whose very presence tends to
annihilate the chances of anything
else growing in the immediate neigh
borhood. There is something about
them, he says, which poisons the soil
and the air. and everything around
them is stunted, starved or blighted.
These poisonous and life-destroying
plants Mr. Maiden likens unto some
employers whose treatment so poisons
the atmosphere of the office that even
the most capable men cannot prosper
under them. They fret and fume about
the place so that everyone is nervous
and ill at ease.
"I have known of employers who
worked for years in such an atmo
sphere without getting ahead," he says.
They thought it was lack of ability
that kept them down, but when they
changed their positions and got into a
congenial environment, they advanced
rapidly. They expanded like tropical
plants which had been stunted for a
time in an arctice climate, but which
flourished when taken back to their
native soil."
This figure of speech is indeed ex
pressive of the true state of affairs in
a great many business houses.
And the remedy naturally suggests
itself.
The whole trouble with tsese em
ployers is just this: They don't under
stand human nature and won't take
the bother to study the men working
for them. While they may be first
class financiers and understand the
merchandise end of the line from A to
Z, they don't know how to handle men.
They have entirely neglected the hu
man side of their business and before
long they will feel the serious effects
of their ignorance and neglect in the
form of decreased receipts and lower
dividends.

CLEMSON
MISS CLARK TO SPEAK
Out of 600 students at Clemson Col
lege the faculty has expelled all but!
about 200, according to report. Our
correspondent continue his lamen
tation over the fearful pruning of the
college roll by saying that this sim
ply means Clemson "will have no
football team next year." The facul
ty may be acting wisely and they
may not. We are not informed as
to the exact nature of the prank the
boys played on April 1st, for which
they are being sent home in dis
grace. However, it might be well
enough to remember that "boys will
be boys." Perhaps most of the facul
ty can remember the day when they
came under ignoble classification, and
if they have a brnch of freshman and
sophomores who only play the fool
once a year it wmld be a good idea
to sign them for graduation. They
are rare.
The Salisbury Post breaks the si
lence: "It is worth the while to
leave strenuous things for a moment
and direct the attention of our erst
while boon-companion, the Charlotte
News, to the fact that North Caroli
na's pitcher in the game with Vir
ginia yesterday is a Salisbury boy."
Beloved, if you have at last really
found a source of pride in Salisbury,
We desire to offer congratulations,
but we are informed that Carolina's
pitcher was bred in old Monroe.
Aside from this, however, why, "Erst
while boon companion?" We refuse
to allow separation proceedings until
you explain a number of matters in
litigation, for instance your mint
julep contentions, reasons for the
existence of the ground hog et al.
We learn a meeting of the Greater
Charlotte Club " and other organiza
tions is to be held Friday evening to
adopt plans for a civic improvement
crusade. The News stands ready to
do all it's power in this respect, as
it has been doing for some time.
Now that Mr. Hill has been accept
ed by Germany we are enabled to
proceed with our daily duties without
further apprehension.

Miss Elizabeth Clark, of South Af
rica, will make an address at the North
Charlotte Methodist church Sunday at
7:30 p. m.' ,
Miss Clark is a member of the inter
national committee of the Y. W. C. A.,
has spent several years in South Af
rica, pnd attended the school of Rev.
Andrew Murray in that country.
She is a most interesting speaker
and the church in North Charlotte will
doubtless be taxed to its utmost ca
pacity to hear this giften woman.
Her address will contain reminis
ences of the Boer war and also will
be an evangelistic appeal to men to
surrender to Jesus Christ.

STUDENTS LEAVING
Special to The News.
Greenville, S. C, April 9. Nearly
200 Clemson cadets passed through this
city last night bound for their homes,
having been expelled for taking part
in an All-Fools day prank in marching
away from the campus.
The correspondent, in talking with a
number of the boys last night learned
that there is a possibility that many of
them wil be reinstated at the beginning
of the fall term, though it is by no
means certain.
Out of the 600 boys only 200 are left
at the college. The baseball team re
mains intact, but there will be no more
football at Clemson for several years,
it is said, because all the available
material was embraced in the students
expelled.

The movement to run former Gover
nor Douglas of Massachusetts, as a
candidate for vice president on the
ticket with Governor Johnson, of Min
nesota, is attracting considerable at
tention. Such a combination, some be
lieve, would secure a big vote among
democrats throughout the east.
Former Lieutenant Governor M. Linn
Bruce will be the temporary chairman
and Representative James Sherman
the permanent chairman of the New

which is to meet in Carnegie Hall Sat

Hughes for the presidency and select
the delegates-at-large to the national
convention.
Louisiana elects a governor and oth
er state officers this month, but as the
election is purely perfunctory it is not
attracting much attention. The demo
cratic candidates who were successful
in the recent primary are certain of
election. Jared Y. Sanders, the new
governor, and the other new officers
will take office in May.
A large majority of the states will
choose new governors before the end
of the year. Among the states in
which interesting contests are expect
ed are Wisconsin, West Virginia, Ten
nessee, South Dakota, New York, New
Hampshire, Missouri, Colorado, Con

and Florida.

that a well manager, literary ..campaign

course in the common schools he at
tended the Southern University and !

ical College. Upon leaving the last
named institution he began to study
law and was admitted to the bar in
18D3. The same year he entered upon
his public career as mayor of Lafaj -ette,
which office he held for two terms
resigning in 1S9G to accept the demo
cratic nomination for representative in
the legislature. Two terms in the leg
islature were followed by two years
in the office of secretary of state of J
Alabama. This office he resigned in j
1904 upon his election to fill the unex- j
pired term of Representative Charles)
Thompson in the Fifty-eighth Con
gress. Mr. Heflin was re-elected to the
Fifty-ninth and Sixtieth Congresses,
