Bible Thought For The Day THU WAV OF KSUAI’U:—It shall come to pa-* it) tilt 1 day that the Lord shall stive flue re-t from thy sorrow, anil from thy fear, and from thy bard bond age wherein thou wast made to serve. — Isaiah 14::;. SHALL IIE HE OITLAWED? While Republican leaders in the- Unit ed States have beeu trying to "place" former Senator Kellogg us an Ambassa dor. other things of greater interest to the United Slate- .and the world have been taking place. While frineds of Mr. Kellogg have been wondering just what he will say or do as representative at the court of Sr. James, another American ambassador has been making history. That Ambassador is Myron T. Her rick. Ambassador to France, a man who stands bead and shoulders alx>ve any oth er diplomatic* officer appointed by the late President Harding, and at the same time a man with influence in his party. He proudly and rightly proclaimed the part the I nited States should play in world affairs, although his utterances ' are not in accord with utterances by iff) out of every 11*0 Republicans in States. And he expressed views that have been advanced and supported by Democrats since the armistice. What shall the penalty be? Shall he be out lawed. by his party, or shall his utter ances be taken as an indication of a change of heart by the American gov ernment. which was anxious for the an nouncement of tlie change to be made by some Ambassador or some agency which might be thought to be speaking for it self. Speaking at Navariu Farm in France on Sunday. Ambassador Herrick ex pressed ihe belief that we had* put our hand to the plow and would run the fur row* through. “Whether we like it or not. he said, “our lot is now cast in with the other nations to a very consid erable extent." "The situation in Europe at this min ute concerns as profoundly, though far less tragically thaif the af fair- of 1914 to 1917. Our continued well-being depends largely upon tin* set tlement of Europe’s affairs and calls for the exercise of the same sound sense and business judgment as actuated America in joining the war.” declared the Ambas sador. who had earlier in' his speech ex plained that America’s entry in the war was prompted by idealism, and sentiment for France, but also by plain common sense business, and for the riglft. And now lie asks a -.question that has been pr*q»ounded by a multitude of Dem ocrats a thousand times; "If we were to stand aloof from what we call this ‘European mess' when i* is apparent the balance can not be recover ed witliout our help, then why did *we come into the war in 11117 7 Were we mistaken then? Were the government and the people wrong in tin* almost unan imous decision to act V I answer no. No sucli disgraceful verdict upon case will ever be rendered by the American people. We have put our hands to the plow and we're willing to run the fur vow through, for we how km.w if tin present problem is not solved, and justly and quickly solvede, then truly America will have fought in the war in vain." The same forces that impelled us to cuter the war are now calling us to aid the world in recovering its balance, he exclaimed. ‘‘Can it be accomplished without us 7" he asked, and gave the answer, forcefully and eloquently : "The logic of events is stronger than any man's wishes and the vital concerns of a country take precedence over the personal preference of either its states men or its individual citizens. Because of the things we fought for, because of the things we hoped for, be cause of the things our men died for— whether we like it or not. our lot is now cast in with the other nations to a very considerable extent. This w hole question rises far and away above the clamor and strife of partisan ‘politics and whosoever seeks to use it for political advantage sullies the memory of the dead we come here to honor.” "The vital concerns of a country take precedence over the personal preference of either its statesmen or its individual' citizens.” ! COTTON-MILLS CURTAILING. i The price of cotton continues to go up and the general public continues to buy goods manufactured in the cotton mills, but the cotton mills are unable to sell their goods. That’s the proposition that is worrying the cotton mill men today, and that the situation ip Gaston County !is very similar to the one here is jiuli [cated by the statement from The Gas- Ltouia Gazette that “\vhat v worries every (body connected with the cotton mill bus i iness is why the price of yarns and oth jor manufactured products does not fol low cotton in its upward swing.” Several cbttoh mills in Cabarrus Coun ty are working on a curtailed schedule now. and others are expected to follow suit in the near future. Manufacturers i are having a hard time selling their goods at any price and it is practically impossible to sell them at a fair profit now. And here is another peculiar thing about the situation: Manufacturers a’fc* willing to sell goods manufactured this year on 2S cent cotton at prices cheaper than those offered last year when 23 and 24 cent cotton was used, but they can’t find buyers. Practically every mill in this section is running at a loss, most of them operatiug to give their employes work ns long as possible. They are do ing no business and would profit more at a standstill. This is the opinion of the American Wool and Cotton Reporter concerning conditions in the Northern Mills. It g >es on to say that it may be that somfc of the cotton mills which closed down recently have put a few of their machines into op eration again, but it would be a mistake to interpret numerous reports to this effect as indicating that these concerns are about to start tip again in a large way. or that substantial curtailment will not be continued in many mills for scute time to come. \ The Gazette declares “cotton mauufinc turers generally find themselves in a very difficult position today, because of high costs and cotton uncertainty, and the continued lack of any considerable demand for many of their products. The cotton question is worrying them all. The supply'is certain to be inadequate and there is a probability of a real scarcity during the coming year. Higher prices all along the line seem inevitable. It will take time to adjust the industry to a basis nearer the 30-eent level and to educate buyers to the necessity of high er pyles for goods. Meanwhile taere will be much uncertainty throughout the market with few if any mills, either North or South, running full time, and many operating on short schedule.” You can walk into most any retail bus iness house in Uoncord or any other city in this section of the State and find peo ple buying goods that are manufactured in the cotton mills of this section. Re tailers in many citi«*s are. having the best trade in their history, yet the cotton man ufacturers cannot get orders for goods that are -idling well on'the markets to day. It is n*peculinr situation •find one that is causing some concern. WILLIAM I). HARRY. Cabarrus » minty lost one of her must valuable citizens in the'death of William f). Harry, who died Monday of apoplexy at his home. “The Mmehead Place.” Mr. Harry was an adopted son of the county, but lie gave it the best within him never theless. and set an example of service and loyalty that native sons would do well to follow. Possessing a keen in tel leet.j a wide knowledge of farm conditions, an Instinctive business mind, and love for .fairness and justice. Mr. Harry prov ed to be one of the finest citizens of Ca barrus County during his life here, and he will be missed when supiiort for county or community projects of merit rs needed. Mr. Harry was never too busy to think of his church and his fel lownran. and his greatest deeds were those wherein he contributed of his lime and money to his Church and his talent and energy as a public servant to his fel lowinan. Truly, he had his house by the side of the road and he proved a friend to man. Strikers Outrage Dead. London. Nov. 4. —The bitterness of the hatred ; n the Cork. Ireland, under takers’ strike does not even respect the dead. Saturday afternoon .two men and women entered The mortuary chapel of a local hospital and lifted a dead patient out of his coffin, where lie was awaiting burial. They placed the corpse on a stone slab nearby and then smashed to pieces the coffin which had been made by a firm involved in the strike. The affair was reported to the Bishop of Cork, and in all Catholic churches in the city today the act was denounced in the strongest terms. THE PENDULUM. CONTINUES FOR WARD SWING. The political pendulum, which reached its highest mark on its backward swing in 15)20 when a great Republican major ity was hung up iu many States, con tinues its forward swing now with easy and consistent strides. In almost every election since the last Presidential elec tion Democratic candidates have made huge inroads on majorities hung up by Republicans in 1020, and the elections held on Tuesday were no exception to this rule. In those States which were Democratic in 1020 Democrats on Tues day polled bigger majorities than they did in the last election, showing that the Democratic tide has pot yet reached its crest. Democrats were elected in all three states where there were gubernatorial elections—Kentucky, Maryland and Mis sissippi. Vermont, where only a senator ial contest was held, returned a republi can. Porter H. Dale, who defeated Park H. Pollard, cousin of President Coolidge. In the seventh contest of the House, the Democrats won four and the Republicans three, one of the Republican victories l)ie iug an unset in which former ltepreseh tative Benjamin L. Fairchild defeated his Democratic opponent for the place made vacant by J. Vincent Ganley in the the 24th .New York district. Party align ment was unchanged in other congression al sections. The victory of the Democrats in Ken tucky. where Representative Win. J. Fields defeated Charles I. Dawson, re corded a swing of the pendulum which at the last election swept over nor Ed win P. Morrow. Republican, intto office. Mr. Fields' majority was decisive and lie will have a Democratic legislature to support him. Governor Ritchie, re-elected in Mary land over Alexander Armstrong. Repub lican. had an increased majority over his first election. K. L. Whitfield. Democrat, had no opposition in Mississippi. In New York state the Republicans retain ed control of the General Assembly, but .the Democratic judiciary ticket in Man hattan and the Bronx was swept in|p office, over Republican and Independent tickets by Wm. li. Hearst. American party candidates who waged a fight in Utah under the slogan “separa tion of church and state,” were beaten. Mayor liolph. Republican, of San Fran cisco, apparently was re-elected. Results of the senatorial and congres sional elections will have two houses of Congress with this lineup: House. Repub licans 223. Democrats 205, Independent 1. Farm Labor 1. vacancies. 2: Republican majority IS. The Senate Republican majority will remain at six. FRANCE ISOLATED. The tremendous part the United States can play in world affairs if given a chance by the party in power, is shown in the trend of events since it became apparent that America will be officially behind the commission of experts which will in vestigate to determine what Germany is able to pay. The invitatiton from Gr<»at Britain for another inquiry, at which tlie United States would be represented, was not popular with any other Euro pean country at first, but when Secre tary Hughes and certain other American officials let it lie known that the plan had their* approval and that tin* United States in all probability would accept the invitation, Italy. Greece and Belgium were quick to come to her side. That result leaves France isolated, a position sin* cannot maintain. Premier Poincare was positive at first that Franco would not change her mind ou repara tions. The Treaty of Versailles gave France certain things and she was going to demand their fulfillment even if it took a pound’of flesh. But it seems now that she will change, as she will have to do. France cannot stand against the rest of the world, now that the United States is lined up with Great Britain. Italy, Belgium and Greece. We feel that Germany should pay to the last dollar of her ability, but we also feel that a fuir estimate of her ability should be secured. The United States heretofore has had nothing to say about reparations, but after tlie next confer ence she will be heard and she will wield a big influence im'the Germans and their future actions. The United States today is the most powerful nation on earth, and for that reason other nations must listen to her and take her advice. The campaign of tin* French in -the Rhur was generally regarded as a French victory, but what did it bring France? The Germans were forced to abandon the passive resistance policy, and yet the Ruhr invasion did not bring a solution to the reparations problem. France is alone in this matter and she cannot remain in that position. Sin* will have to join the rest of the world in the inquiry that will determine what the Germans can pay. and the plans for the collection of the payipejits. STRICKEN LION OF S STREET IS STILE A POWER Big Delegation to Call on Wilson at His Home Sunday. Armistice Day, Mostly of Women. 11. E. (\ Bryant in Charlottd Observer. Washington. Nov. 7.—Keen interest is manifested here in the announcement that former President Wilson will broad cast some views next Saturday night, and will receive a delegation next Sunday. Armistice. Day. A daughter of Bernard M. Barucli is engineering the radio pro gram with Tuston Thompson, one of the leaders of the Wilson administration, and Mrs. 11. E. C. Bryant, an ardent Wilson supporter, co-operating. The Stricken Lion of S Street is still a power in the land. Hi* has a great personal following, made up largely of people with true hearts, and enthusiastic democrats without any axes to grind. One has but to visit Keith's theater here on Saturday to realize that Mr. Wilson is very popular, and still dangerous to imposters. One of the greatest crowds ever assembled at a private residence will gather in the streets about the Wilson home Sunday. People are flocking into the city from out of town communities to be there on that occasion. Mrs. Wil son has promised a few remarks from her distinguished husband. The popularity of Mr. Wilson is still discouraging to republicans and a tew democratic aspirants here and there. Senator Shields, of Tennessee, would be glad to use Mr. Wilson in his light for re-election, but the ox President lias branded him in away that he cannot do it. Others would like to boast of the political support of Mr. W ilson but dare not. Politicians have very littleNJo with Mr. Wilson. They could not use him while lie was in the White House, and they would like for him to remain silent now. Therefore, the promise of an ut teramjc this week is causing much con cern and comment here. The republicans arc afraid of their foreign relations record. They have no definite policy, hut have switched about from position to position, trying to beep dear of the path marked out by Mr. Wilson. They would rather he would keep his ow n counsel. Colorado this year produced 700,0U0,- 000 pounds of beet sugar, or enough to supply every man. woman and child in tht> United States with more than four pounds each. * THE CONCORD TIMES URGES FI LL CO-OPERATION OF ALL EX-SERVICE MEN State Commander of American Legion Is sues Appeal.

WEEKLY REPORT ON W EATHER AND CROPS Frost Throughout North Carolina. But No Damage to Matured Cotton Crop. Washington. Nov. 7.—The Department of Agriculture's weekly weather and crop review today reported the condition of Southern c.irps as follows: Continued turns in Oklahoma and por tions’of Texas and Arkansas caused fur ther deterioration of the cotton crop.

T. I'm hei’ger, Chas. W. Wineooff. PATROXS OF WINECOFF.' Why Wineooff Community Cannot Afford to Support the County-wide Election. Get it out of your head that we ob ject to the tax. We are accustomed to that, we have the habit, having voted a spcecial tax 12 <;• 15 years ago. We know of no tax that has been collected in the county that has brought hotter results. We were, however, privileged to spend it as we choose. You know the re sults—between twenty and thirty stu dents in college now. Our ambition has grown and for years most every child has known our plans to build a ten room brick building and establish an “'A grade" high school, teaching chemistry, music, business and agriculture, .from which our children could enter the leading col leges. Everyone expected this school to draw high school students at least from all the territory from the city limits of Con cord and Kannapolis, the present loca tion is just half way and at a cross road. These people are ours not only by adoption and convenience, but they are old patrons and neighbors. They built homes here because of our school. Many people have lately purchased home-sites it high prices for no other reason than to live near this school. You ask. what has all this to do with the election on the 20thY We hope it will not take you as long to realize the truth as it did us. Most all of us registered with no other intention than to vote for it. Expecting as advertised, that this was our chance to speed up our plans. This was agreeable to us even though at least one-third of the Winecoff ai}d Xo. 4 Township money would go to other districts. Hut alas, when we eventually cornered *Supt. Robertson we found lie had planned to sacrifice us on the cross, by not only taking our cash, but also limit us to a section with less than 4<Kt possible scholars to draw from when the State advises not to even try to start a high school with less than 500. He sends all the scholars from Bergerbevg, Bcthpago. Centerville. to Kannapolis, where they are so crowded now and have been and will be that they have to teach in private homes, lie also says we can. go there or get some students across the county beyond Concord. Hauling them will be no job. but it will cost too much to haul our^patrons almost iu sight and on the highway, to Winecoff. “Consis tency. thou art a jewel.” Mr. Robertson's position reminds us of the morning breakfast at a certain home: Husband remarked. "I have a very bad head this moruing.” Wife remarked. *T am sorry, dear. I hope you will be able to shako it off.” Winecoff lias done more and sacrificed more to establish a high school in Ca barrus county than any other commun ity. Now if is sacrificed. Who said we were selfishV Why should such a plan ever be thought of. It is not necessary in order to establish a county-wide sys tem. Who is selfish Y Friends of Wine coff. please use your "think-tank'' on this subject. Ask some questions. This is somewhat of a secret campaign. We regret tliis light is forced upon us. We take 1 his way of explaining our po sition. The election if lost will set us to thinking and lead up to a mutually satisfactory plan of schools. Res pec tfu 11 y su luni 11 ed. (’. .1. GOODMAN. It. L. UM BERGER. W. X. BAftXHARDT. , School Committee. Card From Prof. Robertson. With reference to the above I wish to say that in the tentative districting for high school purposes in the county that has been done, the Wineeoff School is the only school outside of a town that was put into the new scheme for a high school. In doing so the Hoard of Educa tion and tlw* Superintendent were trying to save that school to the community that has done so much to build it. and in so doing tried to allot all surround ing territory to the Wineeoff High School that they thought could reasonably be dis tricted to that place. Mr. V». E. Uinber ger came to see me last Saturday after noon. late, and asked that the children of Midway, which is a part of the Kan napolis district, be hauled to Wineeoff for high school purposes, when these children are in easy walking distance and some of them in crawling distance of the High School at Kannapolis, to which they are now going every day. Last Monday Mr. I mberger came before the Hoard of Education and asked that these same children at Midway, which is in the Kannapolis 'district, be hauled to Wineeoff for High School purposes. The Hoard assured Mr. Umberger' that it had always done what it could for Wineeoff. and that as a Hoard it wanted to see Wineeoff grow nlud irvospeV. and that it would continue to do flfi.v and everything in reason for Wineeoff.

Xov. 5. —The s)Sth an nual session North Carolina Moth xl'ot Protestant Conference, in session at the new community church since last Wed nesday morning came to a close at 4:45 o'clock this afternoon following the read ing of the stationing committee's report. ReidsvMle was this martrug selected as the place forr the nevt meeting. The conference at the morning session voted to increase the church extension beudget to SIO,OOO. while the superan nuate fund was increased to $5,000. The .conference faculty in a report made this afternoon recommended that young men entering the ministry be re quired to study the conference theological |course before be : ng assigned to pasto rates. The new college enterprise of the- ds - nomination has been given considerable attention at this session of the annual conference. At a previous session of the conference last week Dr. Andrews I presented his annual report as financial agent and director of the campaign to raise funds for the institution, which showed the progress made during the past year. The report indicated that a total of about $220,000 of the goal of $300,000 had been secured in pledges and cash payments. More than 7.000 peo ple made subscriptions to the college building fund, to the present time. I>r.. Andrews wilj labor fir the college again I next year and he states that the program ' of the campaign calls for finishing the I present campaign for $50.00 by. Christ mas of this year. -The report'of the financial agent showed that one-fourth I of the pastoral charges in the conference ] had raised their quota in the campaign, -and the remaining three-fourths of the charges will be canvassed, a house-to house canvass being planned among those charges not attaining to their goals. It is expected that the various pastoraf charges that—have raised their quo tas will “go over the top" and thus as sure the conditional Wills gift of SIOO.- 000. When the goal in the campaign is reached, and the Wills gift secured, the, college enterprise will have a total in j assets of approximately $(>45,000. in cluding tin* endowment fund.
