JI’ST AND RIGHT:—A God of

TENNESSEE BEING AROUSED.
’ Governor Peay, of Tennessee, spent
about ten days in North Carolina this
year, and' his State has not yet quit
hearing about the wonderful things he
saw in North Carolina. The Chief Exec
utive of Tennessee efinie to North Ca.ro
f lina to see and lie had his wish. He
came here tu look i 11 1«> conditions; to |
make a survey of.how this State managed
to make s*> much money and build so!
many .modern schools and roads. He had ,
this desire gratified. And he has gone
hack homo with a new vision for Ten
nessee.
Governor Peay things so much of the
road system in North Carolina that he is
advocating a similar one for Tennessee
' on a larger scale. Instead of issuing
850.tt00.000 worth of bonds and adding
to this amount as North Carolina has
done. Governor PeaC'would start off with
5126.000.000. Os this amount $86,000.-
000 would be spent for improved roads,
such as are being built in this State, and
the remainder would create a fund to be
used in maintaining the roads. The}
bonds would be paid off in gasoline and
auto taxes, such as are levied in North
Carolina. The only change would be in
the auto tax. the Tennessee Governor fa
voring a law that would make pay a lit
tle higher tax than they pay in North
Carolina.
South Carolina and Virginia Govern
ors should make a visit to North Caro
lina. Perhaps a stay of ten days would
show them what their Stifles need., and
Governor Peay’s visit showed him. There
are many fine things to be in
North Carolina, and our people, from
•. the Chief Executive of the s*tate down
to the humblest citizen, are glad and
anxious to show the things that have
made North Carolina the most prosper
ous State in the South, and one of the
most prosperous in the Nation.

MIST IDENTIFY OFFICERS. .
Declaring that “when a law-abiding
citizen is accosted and held up on>,the
public, highway by a man with a gun.
he has tin* constitutional right to know
who is holding him up. whether an offi
cer of the law or a bandit.'’ The Chav
, lotto Observer is bringing to public at
tention a matter of serious interest at
present. The Observer’s contention is
that officers should be identified and it's
contention is right. “Officers whose bus
iness it is to run down criminals,” says
The Observer, "ought never to lose sight
of the fact that a man is not always a
criminal because they have evidence that
leads them to believe he is. They ought
always to remember that they are liable
to accost the wrong man when they are
bunting for a bootlegger or other crimi
nals.”
The Charlotte paper goes on to cite
the case of a good citizen who was held
up and submitted to indignities at the
bands of some men, and he had no way
of knowing whether they were officers or
Hot. who held him up at the point of a
gun to search his car. This case brought
from the Salisbury Post the assertion
that “such performances are uncalled
for,”* and we agree with this sentiment.
The Post is of the opinion “that there is
ti right way and a wrong way of doing
anything and all officers should always
approach others under right condition:
and not leave doubt as to who they are

x J. J. FARRIS.
f
North Carolina’s Fourth Estate has
lost one of its most prominent and suc
cessful members in the death of Mr. J.
J. Farris of High Point. The sudden
death of the High Point man made his
passing sadder, he having enjoyed usual
health until he was stricken just as he
was leaving a meeting of the High Point
Rotary Club, an organization in which
he had been a prominent member since
its organization in his home town.
Mr. Farris was 'a builder and a man
who'lived up to the principles of Rotary
—he profits most who serves the best.
He was a pioneer in the Newspaper game
in High Point, and the two papers with
which he was associated worked hard
for the building of a greater High Point.
He had the vision of a builder, and
he pictured that vision in his papers to
such au extent that he was recognized
throughout his home town as one of the
the city’s, most ardent and progressive
workers. That he was recognized as one
of High Point's greatest boosters is prov
en by the token of love presented him at
the Rotary meeting he attended just be
fore he died, the token being a parchment
on which was inscribed!: ‘“Presented to
J. .T. Farris as a token of appreciation
for his untiring efforts in upbuilding this
‘city.” *
Mr. Farris did not devote all of his
time and energy to the building of ma
terial things, however. He was promi
nent in Church work, and at the time of
his death was teacher of the Farris Bi
ble. Class of the First Baptist Church, a
class with an unusually large enrollment.
His Church work was so prominent in
fact, that it overshadowed his civic en
deavors. great as the latter were.
High Point and North Carolina have
lost an ardent and useful citizen in the
’untimely death of this good man.
REDUCE AIR FORCES.
The Washington Conference for the
Limitation of Armament did much good,
it is generally felt, but it seems that an
other conference to handle another phase
of military preparations is needed now.
This conference should deal with the air
forees. which are being rapidly increas
ed by all of the important world powers.
TAe American Legion has started the
movement for conference which would
deal with this problem, and its cam
paign is being met with support from
many quarters. One of the most ardent
of the supporters is Senator N. B. Dial,
of Sfouth Carolina who' has given much
thought to the question and who has giv
en the Legion his unqualified support.
The last war proved almost conclus
ively that the next war will be fought
in the air. That's the Teasou the more
powerful nations are in this heated race
to see which can build the more power
ful air forces. Giant dirigibles, count
less airplanes, many observation balloons
and other air machines are included in
the vast array of modern fighting appa
ratus the nations are producing.
.Tust what did the nations accomplish
when they agreed to limit their fighting
ships?’ Nothing can be accomplished at
present on the seas. The air forces
and certain gases are the most deadly
fighting apparatus at present, and until
the nations indicate that they arc will
ing to cut down in the manufacture of
these things little will be done to pre
vent actual preparations for wan
Preparedness to a certain extent is
necessary, but it is not right for nations
to'spend millions find millions of dollars
taken from the pockets of the people, in
preparing for more wars. If each nation
had assurances that the others would
halt iu their air programs, each should
be happy of the opportunity to curb.
The Legion has asked President Cool
idge to call a conference to discuss this
problem, and we hope he will comply with
the request.
COMPANY E CALLED AGAIN.
Company E, Concord s military com
pany. has again been called to perform
State duty. The men left this morning
for Spruce Pine, where serious disorders
have been expected for several days aud
where a number of negroes were forced
to leave town.
This is the fourth time within the past
several years that Company E has been
called by members of the Adjutant Gen
eral's department to do special guard
duty, and speaks stronger than words of
tin* respect held for the company by Gen
eral Metts and his officers. r lhe men
were first called to do duty here during
the textile strike. They handled the sit
uation like veterans and ('apt. K. L.
Caldwell, the commanding officer, and
members of the company, were highly
praised by General Metts and Major
Faison for the manner in which they con
ducted their work iu that crisis. Last
I year the members of the company were,
! called to Rockingham and Aberdeen dur
! ing the railroad strike, and later in the
year when serious trouble seemed cer
tain at Spencer the Company was sent
there. The call which came at 1 :30 this
morning is the fourth for the company,
and probably gives the local companj the
distinction of having b&en called for spe
cify duty more other company
in North Carolina.
The two companies ordfaed to Spruce
I>ine last week have never been called on
for similar service before,.and when it
became apparent that a third company
was needed General Metts and his as
sistant. Major Smith, probably were un
willing to take chances with another com
pany that had not been tried and found
all right. That does not mean, of course,
that other Companies, could not and would
not have done the work,..but if the situa
i tiou at Spruce l’iue warrants additional
soldiers it is the part of wisdom to take
men who have had experience iu the kind
of work they will have to do; men who
■ have already proved worthy of* the trust
’ given them. . . .
i Negroes have as much right in Mitchell
County as in Cabarrus Coliuty, and it is
to be, hoped that the determined manner
in which Governor Morrison has acted
will soon convince the people of Spruce
Pine and Mitchell County that North
Carolina is fully able to care for the
rights of her citizens, without, question
as tot color.
THE LAtt IN NORTH CAROLINA.
It is very apparent bow that the peo
ple of Spruce Pine and Mitchell County
are to learn something about law in
North Carolina. The people of Spruce
Pine several days-ago took the law in
their hands and ran several hundred ne
groes from the city, a number of State
convicts being included in the negroes
deported. Other negroes who had been
working for road construction companies
in Spruce Pine and other sections of
Mitchell County left when ordered to do
so. This was the situation tliat prompt
ed Governor Gamer** Morrison to send
Adjutant* General Jmte to the scene of
the trouble, and Geifpral Metts. after
careful study of conditions, has ordered
three companies of militia to Spruce
Pine.
The race question is causing all the
trouble, and there is no reason why it
should. It seeiils that the people of
Mitchell County do not want any negroes
tliere. They do not even want the State
convicts who happen to be black. Such
an attitude is unreasonable. It may be
that the Mitchell people are unaccustom
ed to the negro and do not yet know how
to get, along with him. but that is no
reason why they should say to the State.
“We will have no negroes here. ” The
State of North Carolina is greater than
Mitchell County, and Governor Morrison
seems determined now to i*fove this to
anyone who may have doubts about it.
Governor Morrison is being criticised
already by some individuals and newspa
pers because troops were sent to Spruce
Pine. What would these opponents
have the Governor do? Do they think
he should say that no negroes are to go
to Mitchell county just because the peo
ple don't wqnt them? Do they think he
should say all road work in that county
is to be halted because the people object
to negro convicts? The convicts are un
der the protection of the State of North
Carolina, and it is the duty of the State
to protect them regardless of their color.
FOREST HILL METHODIST
CHURCH IS DEDICATED
(Continued from P age One.)
"H*> would be shouting one minute and
back-sliding the next."
When John •and Peter left the tomb
Mary was all alone, Bishop Denny point
ed out, and Ih> used this phase of the
story to pay high tribute to home and
homelife. Many people, he added, have
the wrong idea about home. “Four walls,
furniture and bric-abrac do not make a
home.” he said. “You cannot buy a
home. Neither ran you buy a wife.
cannot buy the best things in the world.
The trouble with educational systems now
is that too many people are trying to
buy an education. The best things in
life are not bought.”
In telling of an experience of his
younger days Bishop Denny severely crit
icised present customs and manners.
Young men did not call young ladies by
their first names, he said, when he Was a
youngster; aud they, showed greater rev
erence to women generally.” The cus
tom of calling young ladies by their first
names after knowing them about three
©dilutes originated with negroes." he
added. “We are getting other customs
from tlqnn. While the negro is down in
the basement trying to take the kinks
out of her hair a young lady on the upper
floor is trying to put kinks into hers."
“Mary was so wrapped up in her
Lord.” tin' speaker said, that she did not
pay any attention to the angels at the
tomb. She did what no one else has ever
done —she turned hey back on the angels.
Christ saw her there, he asserted, and
a ski'd her why she was weeping. "Her
answer." the Bishop added, "is inter
esting. She was not weeping because
loved ones were dead. She was not cry
ing because of her poverty or because
some membeq of the family had gone
wrong. She was crying because she
could not find Jesus. His absence was
her greatest sorrow.
“I think more of the Tomb than I do
the Cross. Christ went into the Tomb
aud all of His enemies shouted 'We
have Him njt last'. But they were mis
taken. He left and with the keys to the
Grave and to Death buckled on His girdle
started His triumphal march while an
gels iu Heaven joined in. He left us so
ve can sign. ‘O death, where is thy sting,
oh grave, whbre is' thy victory.
“Mary did not know Christ when He
spoke to her at the tomb. His clothing
was different. His outward appearance
different. But she knew Him when He
called ’Mary.’ Did you 'ever hear Christ
call? He calls now just as plainly as
lie did to Mary. We hear as we are.
We see what we aore. Do we ever offer
to help? It is not what we give that
counts, it is what we share.”
Mary told the angels at the grave that
she would carry the body of Christ if
they would tell her where it was.
Bishop Denny used this as an illustra
tion to slicdv what love can do. “You
never saw love face an impossibility,”
he added. "Love gave Mary faith to
believe that she could carry a heavy body,
a body heavier than her own."
Again warning Ids hearers that < hrist
calls today as he did to Mary, the Bishop
advised them to be ready to answer that
call when it comes.

GOOD CROPS IN STATE
Best Average Crop It Has Ever Exper
ienced, Says Mr. Parker.
age crop and livestock conditions it has
•Raleigh, X. C., SepL 29:~That North
Carolina is the most fortunate of states
agriculturally was thl terse statement
made by Frank Parker, statistician, of
the Co-operative Crop Reporting Service
of the Department of Agriculture, on his
return tot bis office here from a tour of
crop inspection through the western part
of the slate. Mr. Parker and his assist
ant, W. H. Rhodes, .Ti\, traveled by au
tomobile through Moore, Rutherford,
Transylvania, Jackson, Buncombe, Cald
well, Wilkes, Watauga and' Surry coun
ties. Throughout the trip they maintain
ed counts and classifications of all fields
over one half and acre in size On both
sides of the roads they-traveled.
This state has. perhaps, she best aver
afe crop and livestock conditions it has
ever experienced, said Mr. Parker.
Through various agents of tlib Co-oper
ative Crop Reporting Service, Mr. Par
ker is enabled to keep in Close touch with
agricultural conditions in all parts of
the state. He summarizes information
on crop conditions sent to his office from
the various sections of North Carolina
and makes public the results ,and his
conclusions for the benefit of the farmers
of the state.
“During the summer months,” said
Mr. Parker, “the Piedmont section, par
ticularly the southern counties of that
section, suffered from very dry conditions.
This Yesulted in late plantings and
growth. For the past six weeks this area
has experienced good seasons, which have
resulted in good corn, grasses and other
crops. Cotton has suffered most, but, be
ing a dry weather plant, the July crop
was good. The boll weevil has gotten
all the squares made since August Ist
in all of the maih cotton belt counties of
the State.- The peach crop was much
shorter than expected, even during the
harvesting season. The mountain coun
ties generally have good crops and the
agricultural apple crop, or tlios produced
outside the commercial orchards, is bet
ter than has been expected.
“In the northern counties the buck
wheat crop is the largest in years and is
in fine condition. The wheat and oats
crops for the entire Piedmont area have
made the best yields in several years.
Tobacco is generally good for this area, a
heavier yield being expected on an in
creased acreage.
“The general impression tWboughout
the ’ Piedmont and mountain counties .is
that the average of crops is very high.
Reports indicate that the same is true
in the Coastal belt. Prospects are very
favorable for not only good production;
bul good prices this fall. The farmers
ar<f generally (optimistic, although they
dislike to admit it.

Strange Spiders Enter Denver.
Denver, Colo.. Sept. 29.—A new
species of spiders, with bodies shaped
like footballs and eight long legs, pink
and striped with black, have made their
appearance in Denver, according to A.
E. Craig, who has captured many of
them. The inseets have wide nostrils,
slit eyes, small mouths and ears, and
were discovered in a shed owned by
Craig.
The spiders are believed to have been
brought here in tropical fruit and es
caped to make their home in the* shed-
The web formed by the insects is thick
and in -the shape of a maple leaf. The
spiders have sharp jaws and long feel
ers. When in danger, it is said, they
turrit a poisonous, steam-like substance
which forms a moisture on glass or any
hard, smooth surface-

Frankfort-on-the-Main, Germany, Sept.

* RAWLS ACQUITTED ON
CHARGE OF DESERTION
Condition of Man’s Teeth Proved to Be
the Chief Witness in His Behalf.
Henderson. Sept. 27. —In what is said
; to jbe one of the strangest cases ever
tried in Superior Court here, James B.
i Rawls tonight was acquitted of the
, -charge of deserting hi» alleged wife. Mrs.
. J. B. Reid, and her children, the jury re
■ turning a verdict of not guilty on charges
of desertion and non-support.
The case depended upon the jury's
, believing that Rawls’ whose wife and
two children were present, had been
’ able to grow a full set of teeth during
. the eight years that the plaintiff alleged
. she had been without the companionship
and support of her husband.
On the stand yesterday Mrs. Reid tes
tified that Rawls was ler husband, but
she could not account for the fact that
the defendant had a full set of front
teeth. Eight years ago, she testified,
when her husband deserted her. he had
no front teeth, they having been knocked
out in an accident 20 years before. Her
two grown children also identified the
defendants as their father.
On the other hand Reid’s three broth
ers and father were quite as positive that
, the defendant was not of their family,
, their belief being strengthened and in
fact practically based upon the condi
tion of his teeth. Dentists who took
the stand testified that Rawls’ teeth
were not false.
Platinum is found in small gray par
ticles along with other metals, including
gold and chrome-iron. Occasionally its
is dicovered in the form of nuggets, which
are naturally extremely avluable. A
25-pound nugget of platinum would at
the present time be worth over $30,000.
