While recently discussing tlie textile situation in the New England States. E. Howard Bennett, editor of the American Wool and t’ottoii Reporter, paid high tribute to the character of the mill oper atives found in the Southern States. At the time Mr. ‘Bennett was*makiug an ad dress in Providence before the Rhode Is land Purchasing Agents Association and was talking about the well-known South ern drift of the textile industry from New England. There are a number of Reason," for 'the drift. Mr. Bennett de clared. but one .of the greatest is the high qualities possessed by the operatives of the South. Speaking of labor Mr. Bennett said: ‘Tn 1904 —and many times since— l visited all of the important mills in the South and many of the little mills way up in the mountains. I made it a habit to talk with the operatives and the younger operatives, the doffer boys and girls who were spinners. I took photo graphs of scores ( >f them and I_ would __ get them by scores to write out for ine their names ami addresses. I do not re member a person who couldn't read and write hi- own name. There isn't a mill village in the South that isn’t hotter equipped for schools and school teachers and school books than are the towns away from the mill. Do you know that the Insurance companies here in New England that carry 4he employers’ lia bility insurance on the New England op erative-;. furnish signs and notices for the New England textile corporations, these notices to be tacked up through the mill —and these notices by the insurance com panies are printed in five and six lan guages. Is it possible that the native Anglo-Saxon operatives of the South are not superior in intelligence, initiative and obedience to these operatives in the textile mills of Rhode Island? I)o you believe that the waste in a southern mill will compare with the preventable waste in an eastern mill? Do you believe that the cost of oversight over these American operatives in a southern mill will com pare with the cost of oversight and sup erinteudanee in an eastern mill?" FOOLING THE FARMERS. The Republ icon National Committee or some other organization intensely inter ested in the welfare of the Republican party, should interest itself keenly in the writings of George Martin, editor of Farm and Fireside, who has explored the tariff archives in Washington and who has been giving the readers of liis paper some straight facts about the celebrated tariff enacted by a recent Republican Congress. Mr. Martin has given the tariff question wide publicity, and the facts as he has presented them will not help the Republican party. “Doesn’t the tariff represent any bene fit to agriculture?” asks Martin. “Well, we wouldn’t say that. The wool tariff represents a gain of $.‘17.-“00. 000 per year- It costs fanners who buy woolens $27,300,000 per year. So the net gain to agriculture is $10,200,000 per year. The sugar tariff represents a gain to our beot N and cane growers of $45.300!000, but it costs all our farmers an increase of $48,100,000 on till sugar they buy iu order to keep sweet on the farm. Adding up one side and down the other, the farm er as a producer gains from the present tariff —the agricultural schedules—a total of around $125,000.00. But when he goes to buy. that’s where he gets it in the neck. The American farmer pays every year an extra on the things he buys because of the tariff. So he is really out of pocket $301,000.000 —ac- tual hard. GO-cent farm dollars as his net gam from the tariff, which Fordney. MeCuniber, et. al. f said would help him so much.” In other words, the fraipers of the tariff are putting oue*additioiuil dollar iu the farmer's pocket janji taking out four, all the time calling attention to the* great service they are rendering in put ting in ib# one. When the tariff came up in Congress there were some Republicans who told the farmers they had nothing to * ca *‘- The tariff wouW be favdrabld teethe®. It has be n still argue, but it has been more favorable to the eastern man : ufaetprer, the man who really makes pos sible the Republican campaign moneys. The tariff,, we repeat, has been favora ble enough to give the farmer one addi tional dollar, while it has taken four from him and given to the ‘‘favor ite son*’ in the east. And the farmers are beginning to see through this thing. That's the part that is hurting the Republicans. Time was when most anything could be put ovo'r on the farmers and they would not real ize what was being done to them. But that time is gone forever. They have littered a righteous howl and they are going to be heard still more plainly when the time conies to vote again. GERMANY ADMITS DEFEAT. The Germans are ready to give up the fight in the Ruhr and Rhineland. Pres ident Ebert has told the German people in a proclamation that passive resistance to the armies of occupation must be stop -1 pod to save Germany from economic ruin. , No territory is to be lost by the Germans, however. President Ebert has declared. The French and Belgians handled the Germans in the one practical way so far as getting results is concerned. The Ger mans had been dilly-dallying about rep arations and everything else since the armistice, and they had really done but little to carry out these promises. They had paid but a small amount of the in-; demnity they owe the allies, and while | it is probably true that she can’t pay all j of the reparations money demanded of ( her, she can certainly pay move than she lias paid, and she can certainly show a < better spirit about the paying. The French and Belgians moved into j the Ruhr in a spirit of determination and j they are still there. The Germans de- j dare they will discontinue'their resist-! ance and will meet such demands as they j can. but the French and Belgians are not ; quite ready to leave.. They have heard ; the Germans make promises before and i never carry them out. so they are just j waiting a little. They are wise in this j move. While*the Germans must know by this time that unless they keep these lat-! est promises- France and her allies will | move right back in the Ruhr, she will J put off fulfillment as long as possible. There were many who declared France ( and Belgium could get nothing by going into the Ruhr. That idea seems to have j been all wrong. If ' the allies secured . nothing else, they at least broke some of ! the arrogant spirit displayed by the Get- , mans, who have ach'd' a£* if they and not their enemies; won the war. *■ COI'RTESY IX EUROPE. Dr. David M. Ramsey, of the Green ville Woman's College, has recently re turned from a European trip, and he does not agree with some Americans in the opinion that there is nothing good in Europe. Dr. Ramsey found several char acteristics of the European ]>eople that appealed to him. one being thriffi But the most noticeable thing he saw was the courtesy of people in European cities. ‘•All the French are polite, and so are the people of all other European nations,” writes .Dr. Ramsey in the current issue of the Greenville Chamber of Commerce magazine. “A big merchant on the strand in London walked .several blocks out of his way to show me how to reach Dick ens' Old Curiosity Shop. Proprietors of large establishments in Paris, after mak ing a sale, walked some distance to the door and bade me good morning. "Such considerations in a strange land are very appealing and make the visitor feel com fortable. I sometimes wonder what these cultured Europeans think of Amer icans when they visit our country. If one gets the idea that European polite ness is superficial aud perfunctory, he is in great error. Possibly the sorrows through which these nations have passed since 1914 Rave made them more earnest and real, but that they are truly cordial and sincere one can scarcely doubt.” New -York City sent a group of chos en policemen to London this summer to study law enforcement methods there. In their report upon returning they declar ed that about the only difference between the policemen of the two largest cities was that the Loudon hobbies were slight ly more polite. Courtesy pays aud it costs but little. ARE THERE ANY BAD BOYS? , l i Have you ever seen a bad boy? There ( are many of us no doubt" who feel that \ye have, seen many of them, but have we really? Was the boy bad or was his eu- 1 viroument bad? ‘Was it a case of a bad boy or a bad parent who had brought , out the crude characteristics- instead of the good characteristics of the boy? , There are mischievous boys and lively ones and boys that elders call lazy, but | i unless the boy is unfortunate enough to j | be mentally afflicted he is not bad. and: j then only the thing over which hb has no control makes him mean. After teaching for nearly fifty years iu the public schools of a small Ohio i town. Miss Jean ElweU, recently volun- i < tarily retired, said, in answer to an in- j quiry : “Bad boys? I have never known [ one. I have had deal with nrisunder- j stood boys, disgruntled boys, and misplae-1 ed boys, but I can’t recall one that might ] properly be called bad. I doubt if any such exist.” This, mind you. after near ly fifty years' in the public schools. Con tinuing. Miss El well says : "Many a poor little victim of baleful heredity or environment has been called bad when he was only lonely or neglect ed, and resorted to wilful disobedience as a means of asserting his individuality, ■■linked. I have found that-the 1 posed bad boy merely had ?aa/ ex?'pss>sof .the virtues held in highest esteem. Tru-j aucy, for example, is regarded as an out- J cropping of badness. and yet L imagine j that mdst'bCtiuancy is due to simple ele mental cqriQsity—a desire to seek,* to find aad’upt to yield. Os eourp we must not ignore truancy or other escapade* with an inane smile of dishonest optim ism. No. we must save the youngster . from mistakes for which he may have to pay as dearly as for sins, t “A growing boy wants adventure — thrills! But civilization as he sees it iu school doesn't seem to contribute the thrills that he hears the older generation I tell about. Does father regale posterity, even unto the third generation, with ac counts of his scholastic triumphs or deeds of social welfare? A gentle lad I knew, who had heard many, many memoirs of patertial exploits along the scholastic Alameda, broke out iu defiance and smart alec rudeness that savored of a tough; to his mother's reproof he replied sedate , ly: ‘Well, if I don’t do something pretty I soon, like father tolls about, I won’t j have anything to tell my little boys when I grow up.' I recall another bit of dia logue: ‘Now, mother wants you to be a nice little man.’ ‘I don't want to be a nice man; 1 want to be a fellow like dad'.” . We feel that Miss Elwell is right, and if there are those who do not agree with her. they are certain to admit that she has given them something serious to con sdeir. She has shown the way, we think, to parents who are not certain about "bad” boys. Her policy is one that can be tried at any rate, and we believe that if it is trieil it would work in a major ity of the cases. tf:xtile business picking up. Reports from various textile centers of the Ftouth indicate that business in the textile world is on the increase at the present. These same reports tell of a dull season just passed in some textile lines, but general optimism is evidenced. Tiiat the textile industry will soon be much better than it was during the sum mer months is shown by the increased activity iu mill stocks. During the sum mer there was little trading in the stocks, but during the past ten days or -two weeks, business in this line has increas ed to a great extent, and sharp advances have been registered by some of the bet ter known stocks. The summer months are always dull for the cotton mills. The fact that this summer was no exception is no reason for pessimism, it is pointed out by the leaders, who are preparing for one of the most prosperous fall seasons in his tory. Cotton goods are expected to be in great demand during tiie winter, aud for this reason the mills are expecting good | business. Thirty-cent cotton seems a reality instead of merely a hope, and with the mills selling their goods and the farm ers getting 30 cents for their cotton to be used iu these goods, a good season is forecast for the South’s textile center. ORDERS MILITARY TO PREVENT HOUSE MEET Gov. Walton Calls on Citizens to Be Ready With Arms to Uphold the Slate. " Oklahoma City. Okla.. Sept. 24. -Ad jutant General B. H. Markham ton':;ht was ordered by Governor J. C. WaUti.’i to “U"0 all force of arms necessary" to prevent the session of the lower hoime of the Ckiahoma legislature called for noon '. edne-mey. All c'd'zen soldiers of the state between rhe of 21 and 45 were directed in the ordt-t to hold themselves in readiness "with such arms as they possess or can obtain to come to the assistance of the severe’gn state of Oklahoma when or dered tc do so by the Governor.” As a precaution against any attempt of the legis’ators to meet elsewhere should they be barred from the house ehambft* at the state eapitol, the Gov ernor also directed Adjutant General Markham to disperse the meeting "it "ur other time or place in the state of ()k --lal. mia."

The adjutant general was ordered to use all military forces of the state if necessary to disperse tbe^usseiub’y. Governor Walton reiterated his charge tluß the proposed meeting would be an unlawful assembly, “dominated and con trolled by the so-called invisible empire, commonly known as the Ku Klux Klan.” He declared that since the Ku Klux Klan was proclaimed an enemy of the state of Oklahoma under his martial law proclamation of September 15th. the ses sion therefore would be in defiance of the laws of the state and an attempt to break the peace. "The troops will be ordered to shoot to kill if that is necessary to prevent the assembly,” Governor Walton told newspaper men. “I hope, however, that no such excessive measures will be nec essary.” The Governor denied he intended tak ing action in the federal court to de termine the legal status of the proposed meeting. „ He likewise denied that ho had sought federal aid iu his war on the Ku K’.ux Klan. i “Whenever the government steps in the issue is their,” the executive assert ed. "I would like for them to take over this fight., because its a bear on my bauds, but until they do, the state of ■Oklahoma is fully capable of looking af ter it.” Finds Oldest Plant in World. Chicago, Sept. 25.—The University of ! Chicago has come into possession of the j oldest specimen of a highly developed I plant over discovered in America, or the j rest of the world, rfccordiug to Dr. Adolph C. Noe, professor of paleobotany. The plant, which has been preserved j for centuries in all its minuteness, was found in a so-called coal ball in a mine near Harrisburg. Illinois. Coal balls are round lumps of limestone which form iu a coal seam and usually prevent plants from carbonization. While all the vegetable matter about the ball becomes shapeless black coal, the forms of life within the coal ball ai-e perfectly preserved. Our whole knowledge of the.- ancient plants whiepi grew millions ofyears 1 ago is' derived. ; Dr. Noe says, from these lumps found j in coal mines. | Lack of sufficient water is one of the most frequent causes for decreased milk flow. Give the. dairy cows plenty of water, says dairy extension workers of the State College and department. rTHE CONCORD TIMES 99999999999 9 © 9 KANNAPOLIS ® 9 DEPARTMENT 9 9 @ 9©9@99 9 9 9 9 9 Kannapolis, Sept. -JJG. —There was a meeting of the pa ictus and teachers at the South school building* Friday after noon at 3:30 o’clock, the purpose of which was to organize a Parent-Teach ers Association.

Sept. 20.—Germany has enough money in bolstering up passive resistance in the Ruhr valley since the French troops entered last Jan uary to have made her regular repara tions payments to the Allies for two years, declared General Degouette today to the correspondent of The Associated I b oss. Moreover, he said this reckless expenditure should be calculated entirely apart from the incalculable loss caused by the economic stagnation of this once thriving industrial center, the direct re sult of the refusal of Germany to co operate with the occupation forces. “More than 1.000.000 workers,” said the commander of the Fi’ench forces, “have now had a nice long eight months’ vacation with pay. and natur j ally they are rather keen to have the occupation continue: but it is not diffi cult to see that this economic fallacy <annot continue indefinitely.” Judging from the general attitude of the German population toward the oc cupying troops. General- Degoutte said lie was fully convinced that if it had not been for the interference from Ber lin the problem of making the occupa tion pay. as well as of keeping the econ omic fabric of the Ruhr intact, would solved itself long before now. “Some day.” lie Arid. "Berlin will see, as many sensible people in the Ruhr al ready see. that the German government made a grave economic mistake in agree ing to pay thousands of workers for do ing nothing. Leaving aside the ulti mate failure of this method to frustrate the of the occupation, as it is bound to fail, the idea of pouring out money to workers for doing nothing is very *>ad psychology. It will have many disastrous ramifications. Already other workers, such as the miners, have caught (lie idea of-passive resistance sch their own employers. These workers, encour aged by the fact that-their fellow work ers. who have been affected by the occu pation, have been able to leave their jobs and still receive full pay, have now adopted the method of going to their work and spending the day discussing the .problems of life or playing cards. The natural consequence has been that mcM of them were locked out. The same thing should have been applied to all the workers who refused to work under the occupation authorities. 7f it had been, passive resistance would have melted'away and there would have been no interruption in the normal econ omic life of the oec-unied area.” When asked what his Impression was of the general attitude of the German population toward the presence of French troops. General Degoute replied: “It’s too good. It’s bad for military discipline.” When further asked if the seizures of increasing amounts of marks. which have been prominently published during the past few days in the German press, represented a departure from methods hitherto practiced by the occupation army, lie answered: “Not at all. We have been seizing money for the expenses of the army ever since we entered the Ruhr. The seizures now seem much greater than at first because the mark now repre- sents only a fraction of what it did when we came, thanks to % rlin’s pol icy of paying vast sums for nbn-produe tion.” “Let me explain about these seizures of money.” the general continued. “As you know, the Treaty of. Versailles provides that Germany shall pay the ex penses of whatever occupation forces may be considered necessary. When we first came I wrote a requisition on the Reiclisbank for the army’s expenses for the first week. The Reichsbank re fused to honor it, as Germany decided the occupation was illegal. I thereupon said: ‘All right, we’ll just take what is necessary for our expenses.’ But don’t forget that for every paper mark we seized we gave a receipt to the person from whom it was seized, and I am re liably informed that all holders of re ceipts have been reimbursed by the Reiclisbank. “The same thing is true of everything else we have requestioned for the army, including automobiles. You may be sur prised to know that several Germans have come to us requesting that we re quisition their automobiles, so that they might cash their receipts with the Reiclis bauk at a profit.” £K\ FIX-STORY BUILDING MOV ED BACK 85 FEET Foil Phone.

Sepl. 25. —The Lenoir- Rhyne college campaign in Gaston re ceived another substantial boost today with a prominent farmer of the county offering 100 acres in fee simple as a site for .the proposed college if moved to Gaston.
