LEAGUE SANCTIONED IN AMERICA ;
The f'uited States has not entered the
League of Nations, owing to Republicans
ut power in Washington, but the major
ity bf .the American peoples, judging by
tjieir actions and sentiments as express-,
ed since the Graero-Itayan ‘situation be- , 1
came acute, favor the principles which 1
the League stands for. This filet may j
be surprising to many politicians as it 1
was surprising to Premier Mussolini of •
Italy. \
. In defending his action in declaring the 1
League has nothing to do with the pres-, 1
out diffiffieffiulties between Italy and 1
Greece, the Italian Premier expresses
surprise that America of all nations, lias 1
not come immediately to the aid of Italy.
That’s' where he was misinformed. He 1
thought because a bunch of politicians
jn Washington had. kept America out of
the league a majority of the Americans !
were opposed to the League. He seem- .
ingly thought Americans were going to j
fall on liis neck and claim his conqueror
because he has defied the greatest or
ganization ever created for peace.
That’s not the true spirit of America. 11
regardless of the fact that we have not 1
entered the League. Mussolini will nev- 1
er make Americans feel that Italy has *
ground in the present- controversy for 1
war, or even serious threats of war. And '
if she had such ground, that would he 1
more reason why she should submit the j
question to the League, the organization 1
formed for the purpose of deciding dis- 1
putes. j {
The present attitude of the United. 1
States probably will be a great help to 1
the League. *lf Italy actually carries ’
out her threat to reject the League in all ■
phases; of her negotiations with Greece. | 1
it will show the people the real power of
the League, for Italy cannot buck tlie 1
rest of the world, Mussolini today is 1
• very much lily* Wilheim in 1914. and his :
fate is too well known to create envy in ;
the hearts of leaders of other nations.
The United States does not belong to the 1
League, to be sure, but the people in
the United States are in sympathy with i
the League aud the United States is not
likely to side with Italy. That’s the im- j
portant fact. It will show the world
that although the United States does not (
belong td~the League she does not neees-
sarily side with other nations who are j
in opposition to that organization.
Italy is a full-fledged member of the ,
League but at present she seems anxious
to show her bad faith in an aggravated
form by withdrawing from the organiza
tion the first time thing* don’t go her
way. That’s a poor spirit, and it won’t
win anything in the long run.
If the nations which already belong to
the League ran effect a settlement in ,
the present crisis between Italy and I
Greece, they will have greatly strength
ened the League. And it seems that
they will accomplish this. Great Britain
has let it be known that she will stick
to the’ League, aud France is expected ■
to do the same.
CREAMERY FOR COUNTY.
A number of prominent business men
of Concord and farmers of Cabarrus
county are making plans now to install
a modern creamery in this county. The
. situation has been studied carefully by
these men, aud they have arrived at the
conclusion —and a wise one, we think—
that such a proposition would pay in
this county. Not being willing/however,
to try to put the project over without
the assurance of a larger number of bus
iness men and farmers, they have called
„ a meeting for Saturday. September 15th,
at which time the proposition will be
put before those present.
It seems rea-soiiable t|u us that a
creamery would be an asset to C abUTruk
• county. Successful creameries have been
established in other counties in the State,
aud these counties had no more at the
beginning of their creamery industry
than has at present. A'cream
ery would rnfct more money to Cabarrus
farmers and bof all it would mean a
taliney supply the year round. As it is,
» or at least as it was until diversification
* came to be taken up by some, the aver
[ age farmer in Cabarrus county had mon
ey just oyee a year—right after he had
[ sold his cotton, and then lie <wed most
* of it for things purchased during the
\ year. But the creamery pays out money
■ the year round. It pays out of its prof
its and it pays out for the goods it uses.
It is estimated that Cabarrus farmers
now spend between SI,BOO and $2,000 a
■ year to get their, milk and cream ship
ped from the county. That money, at
least, would be saved. And there are,
other profits that follow the proper man
. agemeut of a creamery.
In those counties where modern eream
, cries are established, the business is
j recognized as one of the best in the
[county. That is a fact in many counties
in this State now. "VVe believe the same
would prove the case in Cabarrus. We
believe that once a creamery is started
here, it soon would be recognized as a
county asset. •
The men behind the creamery proposi
tion deserve full co-operation and sup
port from everyone who want to see the
county land another progressive and pay
ing business enterprise.
GO TO SCHOOL—AND STAY THERE.
This is the time of the year when many
children have a hard time trying to de
i cide whether- or not they will enter
school or college this fall. The problem
is equally as great for many parents who
had rather have the earnings of their
children than to see the children properly
educated*
The question should not be a hard one
to decide. Let the child go to school by
1 all means, and once lie is there, keep
, him there. The chances of children of
j graimnjhr school age staying out of
| school in this State are slim, for the
State law requires them to attend, but
with the older students it is different.
And it is with the older students that
the temptation to drop educational ad
vantages for a steady, job is greatest. In
many instances the employer is to blame.
He has his Selfish interest at heart, and
instead of advising the boy to resume his
studies, he tempts him with a small in
crease in pay.
j A high school education has a strength
ening, influence on youfli. The wildest
youths of today, generally speaking, are
j.those who have had no education. Most
of the inmates in our prisons are per
sons without education. The student
doesn't merely learn certain facts aboilf
the three ‘TIV: he learns something
about life, about association with his fel
low man. and about caring for himself
away from the family circle. And these
things are indispensable in this age.
We say put the boys and girls in
school and leave them there.
| RAILROAD EARN US’GvS.
1 According to statistics published in
i Railroad Data, earnings of Glass I rail
i roads in the United States dinting the
past 35 months have been much less than
is generally known. The general public
seemingly lias an idea that most of the
money taken in by the railroads is profit,
but this does not hold true, according to
this report.
J A special report of the Bureau of Rail
way Economics just made public shows
that the net operating income of the
| Glass I railroads of the United States in
the thirty-five months period from Sep
tember 1. 1920 (the date upon which
the six months' guarantee expired) to
August 1 this year, has been at the av
j erage annual rate of 3.97 per cent, for
the country as a whole, on the minimum
tentative valuation of the as
fixed by the Interstate Gommerce Com
mission for rate making purposes.
In the Eastern district the average
rate of return on an annual basis earn
ed in the thirty-five months period has
been 4.08 j>er cent.; in the Western dis
| triet 3.83 per cent, and in tip* Southern
district 4.08 per cent,
j For the first seven months of this
year the net operating income of the
Glass I railroads was at the annual rate
of leturn of 5.51 per cent.on their
| tentative valuation. In dollars, the net
| operating income whs $528,219,300,
( compared with $418,394,650, or 4.46 per
cent, for the same period in 3922.. This
is an increase of $109,824,650 over the
first seven months last year. ,
In the Eastern district for the first
seven mouths this year'the earnings have
represented, on an annual basis, a re
turn of 6.40 per cent., or $288.484,000;
iin the Southern district 6.47 peg cent.,
lor $77,624,750, and in the Western dis
jtrict 4.17 per cent., or $162,110,550.
SEES CONTINUED PROSPERITY
t - FOR THE SOUTH.
James H. Farley, of New York City,
the guiding spirit in a® chain of stores
operated in eighty-five cities in the South,
is a booster for the Southland. Mr. Far
ley keeps in close touch with business
. conditions iu those States where his
I Stores are located aud he i* quoted by
, the New York Journal of Gommerce as
. declaring prosperity is certain to come to
,• the South.
Mr. Farley knows that already the
j South has enjoyed unusual prosperity,
but lie thinks the beginning has just been
, made. He feels that the South “is due
for the greatest period of prosperity it
I has ever known” and he gives reasons
to back this judgment. The Journal of
e Commerce qqotes him as saying:
"The South is due for the greatest pe
riod of prosperity it has ever known.
1 Wages have increased iu the South ip
* greater proportion than iu the North or
a Middle West. Sales are better and pay
>, ments for goods are better in the South
e than ever before, while business is
y good generally everywhere throughout
the country, and the coming faR season
promises to be the besf iu history. It
s is the South that shows the greatest and
a most solid gain. The building program
in the South- exceeds that of*-the North
right now and homes and new business
operations are progressing on a big scale.
“The smallest tovyns now demand
‘Fifth Avenue styles* and are as up-to
date in this regard as any of tlie big cit
ies. It is no longer possible to play off
‘last year’s models’ on the small town
folks, for Fifth Avenue extends through
the heart of e\*ry city awl town in the
country. For This we maintain a big
staq of bu.#rs in New York all the time
and ship daily men’s and women’s cloth
ing to all of our stores.”
Gabsfl-rus County is getting a lot of
publicity out of her fair and she will get
even more. Inquiries about the fair the
coming in from all parts of the country
now, and the occasion will bring many
strangers to the county. People of the
county are also showing increased in
terest iu the fair. Their plans indicate
that they are going to take a, keen in
terest in displaying thtir wares and in
specting those of their neighbor, and this
should be worth much to the county. It
will show to visitors just what can be
raised and manufactured in Cabarrus
county, aud will at the same tim/ give
Cabarrus people themselves a different
vision of their home county. Final touch
es arc being made at the grounds at
present, with several last minute addi
tions under construction. The horse
{•aces proVni.se to be the most interesting
feature of the fair, and some of the best
racers in the country are expected to be
here with their horses. Plans to bring
a prominent speaker here for one day
are being discussed, it is stated, and wc
think the plan would prove a profitable
one.
The aldermen of Concord have passed
an ordinance making it unlawful for au
tos or, other vehicles to park in front of
the St. Cloud Hotel for more than five
minutes. Such a law was needed here.
Union, "street in-front of the hostelry lias
been a favorite parking place for drivers,
especially “jitney” drivers, and it has
been almost impsosible for persons de- 1
siring to stop at the hotel to alight in I
front of the building. Under the pres- ]
ent law autos have been standing in front
of the hotel for hours at the time, in
many instances, and as a result the ho
tel management has suffered. The new
law will allow a five minute stop to be
front of the hostelry, and that
should bo long enough.

OCRACOKE IS EXCITED
OVER STRANGE WOMAN
Woman Has Been Seen at Night Carry'
ing Suit Case. Has Sobering Effect on I
Men.
Ocraeoke, opt- 9. —The little town of
Ocraeoke is having quite* a bit of ex
citement over the appearance of a
strange woman. She made her appear
ance one night near the Pamlico, inn,
and- was seen bv some one having a
suit case in one hand. The next night I
she was seen up in a section north,
known as Treat or Mayo Hill. She
travels with a suit case in one hand all
the time. Two mutes who had been
floundering up on the plains nortft. said
she had a suit case in one hand, iu the
other hand she had a large knife. The
mate's were very much excited about
seeing her.
Some of the '"Citizens suggest that
bunch of politicians who were here last
week left a lot of evil spirits at different
points as they picniked at several
places. And some of the old ladies are
beginning to relate some of~ the stories
of old, of traveling the road at night
and a lady appearing to them with a
white shroud on and who walked along
the road with them. One effect it is
said, it is having <>y the young men is
they are returning from their* trips
around the creek at 8:30 o'clock now
and they are very quiet in their walks
homeward. Their sweet voices with
songs until 11 o’clock are heard no
more. If the excitement continues for
the next Week the community may have
to ask for a good detective to find out
who this mysterious woman is.
Simmons Wants Air Disarmament Meet
ing.
Raleigh, X. C\, Sept. 8. —F. McL.
Simmons. United States, senator from
North Carolina, favors the proposal of
tlie American Legion for an internation
al air disarmament conference, award
ing to advices received here from the
Legion’s national headquarters at In
dianapolis, lud.
The Legion is taking a i>oll of United
States senators, congressmen, governors,
newspaper editors, college presidents and
other prominent* citizens for the purpose
of obtaining their views on the question
-of an international air disarmament con
ference.
Three hundred and thirty-five replies
have been received from letters sent out
in conducting tlie poll, it is reported by
Legion authorities, of which 303 have
expressed approval of the proposed con
ference. Among those answering quer
ies of the ex-service men's organization
are 21 United States Senators, 76 repre
sentatives, 14 governors, 158 newspaper
editors, 35 college presidents and 31 oth
er prominent citizens, according to infor
mation received here from the Legion
headquarters.
Senator Simmons’ reply to one of the
Legion queries, according to a copy sent
the Associated lV’csrf. follows:
"I think the necessity for limitation of
military and naval equipment applies
equally to the limitation of military air
craft armament and I am iu favor of
limiting both. I can therefore see no ob
jection to an international conference for
this purpose aud I am of the opinion
that such a conference would probably
result in much good.”.

KLUCKERS DENOUNCED
FOR USE OF VIOLENCE
Misguided in Attempt to Promote Amer
icanims Behind Sheets ami Masks.
Greensboro News.
The Ku Klux Klan was denounced
yesterday morning by L. B. Hayes
at Park Place Methodist Church as
"among those who resort to force and
violence to accomplish their end's.”
“They 'think that they are supporting
a government which cannot stand with
out the methods they employ,” Mr.
Hayes continued. "Our idea of tin
klan has changed somewhat in the pa*t
few years. We first regarded it as a
matter of buffoonery, then as an organi
zation for graft and now we regard it
as a set o# people who are misguided in
their attempt to promote true American
ism and democracy behind sheets and
masks to accomplish their'plans.
"You cannot frighten intelligent peo
ple. The challenge of the klan is being
met and will continue to be met by such
courageous men as the governor of Ok
lahoma. No organization that allies
one race against another,- one religion
against, another, can promote true Amer
icanism gr true democracy.”
The sermon tfas on “Violence in the
Kingdom of God." the text from Mat
thew 11:12—"And-from the days of John
the Jtaptist until now the—kingdom of
heaven suffereth violence.” Mr. Hayes
spoke from the passage describing the
incident where John the Baptist seht to
Christ asking if he were the Messiah.
John was in jail and was greatly sur
prised that Christ had not come to him
by some form of force and rescued him.
Hi« courage failed him. said the preach
er. because of his misconception of the
kingdom of God. Christ's answer that
the blind received their sight, the lame
walked and the poor had the gospel
preached to them was an indirect an
swer but carried with it a true idea of
what the kingdom of God really meant.
"In this day.” said Mr. Hayes, "we
have flung out the challenge afresh to
God as to how he is running this world.
One of the admirals of our navy is quot
ed as having said that if one of has
captains could not run his ship any bet
ter than God is running the world, he
would bo fired Vh less than a week. And
yet is it not possible that the real trou
ble with our world is -that men have not
learned the gospel of a loViilg patience
but that they still resort to violence and
force in trying to accomplish their
aims?
"It is a dangerous thing to build from
the bottom after the structure has been
completed and yet we*'find it possible
in some cases to add to and build up a
more lasting foundation. It is possible
to do some of this kind of work in the
kingdom of (iod but often it is neces
sary to tear away the superstructure and
get down to rock bottom for .1 fresh
l start.
"I'm glad that no good has come from
'the war and that no country has re
ceived any benefit that is lasting, because
we shall possibly learn the lesson that
lasting good does not come from any
form of violence and destructive forces.
Possibly God is able to justify the in
ternal disturbance that have recently
wrecked Japan. Possibly that is nec
essary that the earth's surface may
finally come to a state of rest that it may
be more .habitable for man.
"Just as long as the spirit of man
is a rebel to (tod. so long is he un
reachable of the love of God. The thing
that we must fight today is not the nat
ural phenomenon hut we must build up
•1 greater and nobler spirit which will
not countenance violence. The king
dom must come through a loving spirit.”
CHURCH BUDGET IS
PUSHED EVERYWHERE
Southern Baptists .Are Busy Placing
Their Finances Upon Better Basis.
Throughout the summer .period Bap
tist workers in the various states of the
Souther Baptist Convention have been
busy on the task of setting up then*
organizations for reaching all the
Churches within their borders with a
message on the church budget as the
embodiment, of the best system of both
local church and general denomination
al finances. As a result the organizations
are being rapidly completed *«nd the
prospect is that an intensive campaign
on this matter will be waged throughout
the South (hiring the fall months.
I)r. 0. E. Bryan of Nashville, budg >t
director of ti|e Baptist 75 Million Cam
paign. is in general charge of this
special effort to put the Baptist church
es of the South upon a more solid
financial basis, and he is being assisted
by the various state secretaries and
special church budget directors. A num
ber of assiciations have already set-up
their organizations and will assume
responsibility for carrying the movement
to aP the churches in their territory.
It is the belief of those who are
pushing this-movement, that if the local
churches.-.will put their local finances, as
well as their contributions to the general
missionary, educational and benevolent
work of the denomination, upon a
regular budget that will be contributed
to regularly by all the members of the
church's, the time will come soon when
both the local churches and the general
boards of the denomination will have
sufficient f\inds with which to adequate
ly carry on all their work.

I TWO NEGROES BURNED TO
DEATH IN NIGHT BLAZE
' Were Boys of* Ceb Garland, and Were
| Asleep in*Hcuse When It Was Burned
1 to Ground.
1 Additional facts relative to the burn
ing of a negro’s home in No. 10 town
ship last week, show that two negro
children and not four, were burned to
death in the house. Reports reaching
Concord last week stated that four boys
k weuc bzurnecr Tn the house, but full re
ports show that only tw<* were burned.
The children were sons of Ceb Gar
land and the house was on a farm oT Mr.
A. P. Widen house. The colored people
of the community, according to reports,
were having a protracted meeting and
each night they left their children in
the house, one grown person remaining
with them. On the night the house was
burned a negro woman was left with ten
children. Eight of the children were on
the ground /floor and were asleep when
the- womai/ discovered the blaze. She
carried the eight children out of the
house, but every time she went 111 to get
a child, those already carried out would
follow her in. That made it necessary
for her to carry the eight children a
considerable distance from the house, and
for this reason she was unable to reach
the two boys who were asleep on the
top floor.
The charred bodies of the boys, aged
12 and 14, wore'found the day following
the fire.
