The weevil also is doing much damage to the crop, and no one knows to what extent the crop may.be damaged by this pest, hs the plants have bloomed out and prac tically all the young bolls have fallen, leaving nothing but grown bolls, and some of these will be destroyed. So the prospect is ant good for a full crop. Protracted meetings have been held at all Hie churches and the people will now give their attention to the require ments of the farm —cutting and imlling fodder, haying, picking cotton, plowing, etc. Air.

TOO MUCH RAIN PUTS COTTON PRICE HIGHER Better Spot Demand and More Doing iu Cloth Markets Also Bullish Factors. New Orleans, Aug. 21).—T00 much rain in the eastern bolt continued an ticipations of low end of August con dition figures from the government and claims of a better demand so rspots from New England mills, along with more doing in the cloth markets of the country, put the price of cotton higher today, following losses of 3 to 10 points on the opening. The rise was gradual and in the second half of the session had the trading months 27 to 20 points higher than the close of yesterday. Oc tober. after falling to 23.47 cents a pound, rose to 23.54, finally closing at a range of 23.73 to 23.75. One the close the market stood 14 to 20 points net higher oil the day. AVeekly crop reports were about as favorable as they were unfavorable, in the opinion of tin* average trader. Rains in Texas were regarded as likely to in crease the yield, although complaints that the moisture was interfering With both picking and ginning attracted at tention. One private crop report of the day put the percentage of conditiqn at 56.3 and the indicated yield at*tl.- 238,000 bales while another report put the condition at 55.3. These figures pulled the market out of its small in itial decline which was due to poor cables. Speculative buying increased and much of it came from outside interests and it was commonly supposed to be based on the belief that the government’s con dition figures Friday morning would be very low. Hedge selling was not much in evidence and most of‘the time the supply of contracts was not at all lib eral. A clergyman from northeastern Penn sylvania tells the story of an Italian who brought his baby to him to be bap tized. “Now.” he said, “you see you baptize heem right. Last time I tell you I want my boy call ‘Tom,’ you call him Thomas. Tliees time I want heem call ‘Jack,’ I no want you call heem Jackass. 5 ' THE CONCORD TIMES JODE MORGAN HELD Is Returned to Albemarle Jail Without | Privilege of Bail. Albemarle Brcos, 2Uth. Yesterday morning, the recorder’s! court, before Judge R. R. Ingram, had as its chief case for trial that of State W. .lode Alorgan. charged with the mur der of O’an Huneycutt on Sunday, Au gust 12th, on the highway leading to Stanfield. The first witness, for the State was young Tise Alorgan. who is a first cous in of Jode Morgan. Young Alorgan testified that he was with Olan Huney cutt on the day in question, walking. They wanted to ride, and remarked they wished a car would come by. About that time, Jode Alorgan drove up and stopped, the witness raising his hand, and asking if they might ride with him to Stanfield. Jode said: “You may ride with me; I have a crow to pick with Olan.” It seems that Jode Alorgan was ac- ‘ cased of writing some libelous matter to friends of Huneycutt, and he said to Olan that he would take him to the parties to whom he was accused of writ ing, and clear the matter up. Olan is said to have remarked, “I don’t ask you to do this.” Words fallowed, and threats of drawing blood were said to have been advanced by Alorgan. As the I'ress gathers it, Huneycutt was in formed by other parties that Alorgan had written or made the libelous state ments against him to some lady friend, nnd that he showed his displeasure. Jode Alorgan resented the charge, and denied that he had any part in them. According to Tisp Alorgan, when the parties met on the road, Jode ’Alorgan got out of his car from the left side and made a kick at Huneycutt and missed him. That Huneycutt struck at Morgan with his right hand and missed him. Cross-examination developed the statement that Huneycutt. held a knif£ in his left hand, but did not use it. Morgan climbed into his car from the left, got out on right side, advanced to the front and shot Huneycutt when within about five feet of him. Airs. John Alorgan testified that Tise Morgan was at her home on Sunday of the accident before and after dinner. She is the mother of Tise Alorgan. On his return to her home. Jode remarked that he was going after Olan. That one or the other of them would wake up in h 1 before morning. Said that Jode was in his shirt sleeves, aud that he carried a pistol. Attorneys for the de fense drew her out, and it was jdiown that all parties involved were at her home that day, and that there was no Unusual diplay of bad feeling between Jode and Olan. The defense offered to place witnesses on the stand if trial judge would con sider allowing prisoner to give bail. Judge Ingram thought this was beyond hi« jurisdiction in the matter, and after consideration of the evidence presented, he ordered that prisoner be remanded to jail until next term of court. Just what line of defense will be fol lowed is only conjecture at this stage of the trial. Huneycutt had a knife. He was angry at Alorgan for alleged slan der. and no doubt made statements which will be brought info evidence, which had a tendency to make Alorgan feel that he had to be on the lookout. Did Alorgan at the time of shooting Huneycutt con-’ sider that the latter was ‘about to use his knife in attacking ’ him? These things are only suggested by the cross examination of State witnesses by the defense. GOV. PINCHOT ADVOCATES 10 PERCENT INCREASE IN WAGES Offers His Plan For Avoiding the Coal Strike Called For Saturday. Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 20.—Governor Binchot tonight submitted to representa tives of the anthracite miners and opera tors in joint conference, a proposed basis »f settlement providing for a 10 per cent increase in pay. recognition of the eight hour Jlay for all employes, and full recog nition of the union by the operators without the check-off but with the right to have a union representative present when the men are paid. The three main ppints of his scheme of settlement were set forth as fol lows : “1. Recognition of the basic eight hour day for all employees: if longer hours are necessary at certain occupa tion. the overtime to be paid for at the eight-hour rate. "2. A uniform increase of 10 per cent to all employees. This to take effect September Ist. “3. Full recognition of the union by the operators, without the check-off, but wifli the right to have a union represen tative present when the men are paid.” A fourth point proposed complete re cognition of the principle of collective bargaining. Governor Binchot asked that both sides withhold announcement of any conclu-1 sion until they meet with him again at noon on Friday next, and that they will J then give their decision. The governor also suggested that as 1 a method of settling differences in cases of disagreement between miners and op- J era tors each side select a man agreeable to both to attend and take part in dis cussions, but without a vote, and not ns an umpire, or referee. If then un-1 nb'c to agree, he proposed the differences ' he referred to the conciliation- board.! “which will be provided with whatever equipment is necessary for the render ing of prompt decisions.” INCREASE IN CANCER HAS GREAT BRITAIN ALARMED Death Rate Has Tripled in Two Generations.

The following is credited to the Sa vannah (Ga., Press: ■ North Carolina i« a perfect State. That's about all the Georgia Legislature has had thrown at it since the session began two weeks ago. It is pure specu lation as to what the House and Senate would have had to talk about but for North Carolina. The legislators are told several times daily what a great State it is. Its tax measures are per fect. its laws are a delight, its prosperity is marked and its folks happy. Com mittee meetings are tilled with speeches praising North Carolina. It is difficult to see how some Georgians kep from moving up there. The North Carolina tax act is reported a« being a perfect measure for gathering coin and at the same time helping industries. There are more cotto v spindles in North Caro lina than, in Geoi%ia. There is more •happiness in the hills of Buncombe coun ty than in the hills and valleys of Haber sham and Hall. Nobody has a word of criticism for North Carolina and its method of taxing the folks and keeping them in a good humor. If this Legis lature doesn’t put Georgia in the North Carolina class before the first of Sep tember it will not be from lack of ad vice to that effect. North Carolina has set a pace that should be an inspiration as’ well as an example to Georgia not only, but to nu merous other commonwealths; and the legislators thereof may with profit spend much time in dismissing what has been done in this State for public betterment. Modesty and candor compel the admis sion that we have not yet attained per fection : in fact some of our folks would admit, without being pressed, that our shortcoming are many. But that is among ourselves. AVer will riot only de clare to the Outsider that we are nearing perfection, but we will attempt to prove it; and few there be among us who are not sincerely proud of the progress we are making and the reputation we have justly earned abroad. It is surprising that more Georgians do not move to North Carolina; in fact we are surprised that folks who are free to move will stop anywhere outside of North Carolina.
