Hartsell. with Mesdames Hartsell and W. D. Pem berton as hostesses. The meeting was presided ov*r by the President. Mrs. .T. K. Patterson, and much interesting business was disposed of. „ . sineo th <? principal topic of the meet ing was the chimes, this might' have been most appropriately called “a chimes meeting.” Reports were made by Mesdames Patterson. Ridenhour and Pemberton, of their recent visit to High Point, whose sole purpose was to hear ♦the chimes of Wesley Memorial Method ic church of that city. The outstand ing feature of these reports was the beauty of the music and the wonderful .influence the playing at intervals the old inspiring hymns must have on the individual life of the city. A letter from Mrs. Oscar Kerns, of High Point, one of the prime movers in getting chimes for Wesley Memorial, was read. She told us something of what their chimes- mean to the city, especially to the hospitals, the prisoners, the shut ins and the .stranger within their gates, in fact to everyone within the soiiml of their sweet, tones. Mrs. Kerns says every day there are given examples of the wonderful influence for good of the bells on individual life, and gives to its a testimonial left them by a traveling man who came to the city, heartsick, sad and discouraged. So discouraged was he. that he felt to end it all was the only thing left for him. But just as this thought took possession of him. the chimes be gag to play and using his exact words, *‘it seemed that-every song my mother used to sing was wafted q_n the air. end ing with “Home Sweet Home.” I had not been home in many yegH. Sudden ly with tears streaming down my fade, I promised God if He- wbuld forgive me, I would go buck home aud begin all over again.” Many other instances of individual helpfulness might be given. Thesewon derful reports and testimonies, inspire the War Mothers to greater pressing xlieir campaign for Amds to make the chimes foir. Concord a reality. All plans were completed at the meeting for the conducting of the War Mothers* Booth at the County Fair, all money received from this booth to be applied to our growing “chimes fund.” At the clbse of the meeting delicious punch and sandwiches were served by Mesdames Hartsell and Pemberton, as sisted by Mesdames I. I. Davis,; ,T, A. Hartsell a*d Victor Means. —,■ !"r _ r ' .‘, '? Prlndell-Ofortton Wedding. Miss Carltop,' *pf StatyeSville. pmi Mr. D.

Pine, Carried Before Victim. NEGRO ASSERTS HE IS INNOCENT Woman Was Accompanied to Raleigh by Her Husband and Deputy Sheriff —Con- cord Soldiers Praised. i Raleigh, Get. 3.- —Aecompauied by her husband and a deputy sheriff of Mitehel County, the aged white woman from near Spruce Bine who* is alleged to have been attacked by a negro last week, precipi tating the deportation of all negroes from Mitchell County, arrived in Raleigh ear ly this morning and went to the state prison where she identified John Goff, the escaped negro convict, as her assail ant. Goff repeated his denial of the crime and declared he had never seen the woman before. . In referring to the attack the wo man. who is 60 years of age> what happened was "too bad to tell about." The negro, she declared, held a knife over her throat aud threatened to kill her if she called for help. Goff, who had only a few' months more to serve on a 15-year sentence, reduced in length considerably on account of good behavior* was a trusty at the convict camp about foqr miles from Spruce Pint* -on the Ledger JRoad. lie disappeared im mediately after the reported attack -on thq aged white woman, but was captur ed near Hickory several days later by the Oluef of Pblice of Hickory and a -Burke cpuuty officer who had been tipped off as to the direction of the negro’s flight by a group of men from Spruce Pine, who had been searching for the negro night aud day, among them sons < of the assailed woman.. That everything is all right with the Concord military company, now on spe cial duty at Spruce Pine, is the gist of reports received in this city from mem bers of the company. The company left Concord Monday morning on a spe cial train, arriving in Spruce Pine that afternoon. The company today probably is guard ing negro workers who are engaged in laying a sewer line in Spruce Piue. Re ports from the Mitchell county town stated that the negroes were to return, to work this mofcing under troop prt> tection. and members of the Concord company probably are doing the guard duty. The negroes to be guarded by the troojis are not State convicts it has been pointed out in recent dispatches from Spruce Pine. Some colored convicts are at work in the county, it has been pointed put. but they have not been mo lested by citizens of the town who drove out several lurndred negroes last week following an attack on an aged white woman by a negro. The convicts are members of camps guarded at all times by the State, and no effort was made to drive them from the city and county, it is stated in dispatches from Spruce Pine.^ Concord military men are still talk ing in complimentary manner of the splendid work done by (’apt. Caldwell and his men in getting everything ready to leave Concord in such short notice Monday morning. Capt. Caldwell had no . intipiation that his company wjolild be* called. His men were scattered, all over Gouedrd; others were at their homes several miles in the country: and others were in Salisbury. Charlotte and Kannapolis. They were all ready to leave by 5 o’clock, however, and the first •call to Capt. Caldwell was not received until 1 :30 o’clock. * Some men of this city who have had experience in handling guardsmen and their equipment have expressed the opin ion that the move of Company E Mon day morning was of the quickest in the history of national guard work in North Carolina. One man pointed out that Capt. Caldwell collected his men, collected their equipment and moved quicker than General Pershing moved when he received orders to go into Mex ico: And this man pointed out in addi tion that Capt. Caldwell’s men were bad ly scattered when he received his orders while General Pershing had his men in barracks when ordered to move. It is no little task to assembl 64 men. collect their equipment for heavy marching or der. place all surplus equipment on a train and have the men ready to move in four hours. From present indications no disorder of any kind is expected to develop at Spruce Pine while the troops are there, and the members of Comapny E, ap parently are in for a quiet stay in the little mountain town.

C., Oct. 3. —Bad weather and the boll weevil have cost North Car olina 552.490 bales of cotton this year, according to an estimate made by: W. fl. Rhodes, Jr., assistant agricultural statis tician of the joint State-Federal Depart ment of Agriculture, and announced to night. “If no destructive causes had affected the crop, with our 1,704i000 acres (the largest in our history), the state would have made 1.247.490 bales instead of 8.85,- 000. forecast by the Department of Ag riculture,” said Mr. Rhodes in a state ment issued in connection with, his an nouncement. T; “The weevil damage hgs been heavy recently, but the weather .has been un usftally favorable for picking. The cot ton report which conies out in a few days will not show any eha'nges during September. ' There will be practically no •tate crop. “According to a summary of reports from local offices of statisticians in all the cotton states, the crop has continued to deteriorate and extremely heavy dam age has been caused by the boll weevil in most areas, especially in the east. The western states have heavily from drought. “In mahy sections of the cotton grow ing area of Virginia the condition of the crop is the b<*st it. has been for years. In a few sections there has been too much rain, and squares, have dropped heavily. In Tennessee, the Carolina, Al abama. Georgia and Florida extremely heavy weevil damages are reported. ' In the northern pnrt of*this territory the weevil is attacking the gfftnVn bolls and the outcome of the crop is uncertain. In the southern part the pfckinge has progressed rapidly and the crop is very jxiQt with an almost complete failure in many counties. South Carolina reports rust. Some improvement has been not ed in the cotton crop in western and j northern Texas, but it has deteriorated I in the nest df the state, and both in > Texas and' Oklahoma much damage Ims i been done by heavy rains. The boll wee-1 Vil damage is heavy in Mississippi and | Louisiana. In Louisiana fruiting Has been unsatisfactory and the plant bds been shedding heavily. Picking is mnk-‘ mg considerable progress in these states and in Alabama and Arizona. , “According to the report and forecast of.August 25. North Carolina ranks third this year in number of 500 pound bales -of cotton produced, Texas and Arkansas ; >eing first and second respectively. Lifst year Mississippi produced 137,000 bales more than North Carolina, but the boll weevil ravages have placed her fourth in rank this year. The yield per acre in North Carolina is the highest of the principal producing states.” ORPHANAGE STATISTICS Mecklenburg County Furnishes the Larg est Number of Orphans. Raleigh. N.
