THE FRONT PAGE.
This morning's Charlotte Observer con
tains the following editorial, which we
trust everybody within tlie "'sound of
the voice” of The Tribune anti Times will
read and then read again:
‘"Front page positions in the newspa
pers are uot given to hews stories merely
to please-an individual or a group of in
dividuals—not. newspapers—-
‘but they are placed there because they
are regarded in the newspaper office as
the most important stories available at
the time the front page must be closed.
“Several factors are taken into consid
eration in deciding which are the most
important stories, chief of which are the
questions: How many people will be in
terested in them, not in the city of publi
cation alone but taking all the readers of
the paper everywhere into consideration ;
how important is the personage or organi
zation involved in the story: now "new
is the news in the story, that is. is it the
first "break or has it already ( been print
ed in another newspaper, and did it hap
pen since last issue of the paper or is it
two or three days old? The idea is that
the front page "shall carry the most im
portant news of the day anil nothing but
news that has not already been publish
ed unless it is of such news value as to
outweigh the fact that the main part of
the story has been published.
“The importance of. any piece of news
on any particular day is only relative.
One day there will be so much important
news that many good stories that might
ordinarily take front page position are
crowded off to an inside page, while on
other days important stories are so few
that news of secondary importance is
given first page position.
“Another factor is the hour when the
story is received. Sometimes a story
that ranks almost with the biggest of the
night becomes available so late that if
must take secondary position, else be
left out entirely, because there is uot
time left in which to re-arrange the front
page.
“To newspaper men an this is academ
ic. but occasional incidents suggest that
many readers do n >r understand why cer
tain stories ar«* placed on the front page,
while other stories, of far more import
ance from their viewpoint, are not.”
The requests for position for various
articles submitted or written in the office
is one of the most annoying ones the man
aging editor of a newspaper lias to con
tend with. The paper necessarily must
have some regularity of make-up. and
the editor and not the reader, must be
the one who decides where an article
must be placed, due not only to the reg
ular plan of the paper but to tin* exigen
cies of make-up. Only recently a good
friend complained that a certain local
article in which lie was interested
was uot given a position such as he de
sired.
“We put it on the local page,*’ we
said. ,
“O. .no, you didn’t." he retorted, “it
was on the second page."
“Well, that is the local page.” was the
reply.
Please note:
The tirst page is reserved for Associ
ated Press news and such local news as
are of sufficient general importance to
be given a" feature heading.
The second page is reserved for such
local matters as arc of enough importance
to be given single rn double headings,
other than social or personal.
The last -page is the “short local'’
page, or for local items which are pub
lished without headings.

• IS N<f EXPERIMENT
Recording The Philadelphia Ere
ord’s report Francis H. Si;son P rfc
' ideht of the Guaranty Trust Company, of
New York, thinks that “advertising is
! only on the threshold of its golden age.'
j “That day has long passed, if. indeed,
it ever existed,’’ said Sisson, “when ad-
I vertising, under proper conditions, can
be considered as an experiment or a spec
ulation. It has long since become a dem
onstrated economic factor as a business
builder and a clearly proved educational
force. That it may not always, in all
hands, operate with 100 jier cent, ef
ficiency is no more a proof of its fail
ure than an unsuccessful operation on
the human body by a horse doctor would
be a proof of the failure of surgery. Its
call is for skilled t men, broad men, who
have thoroughly mastered the tols with
which they must work, \yhose sense of
public psychology is sure and true and
whose vision of National opportunity is
as broad as the world.”
Air. Sisson As one of the New ‘York
bankers who know from experience just
what advertising means. The. business
men of the metropolis had opportunity to
learn just what advertising means when
the pressmen recently went on a strike
in New York City, aud the newspapers
could not carry ads. Business suffered
throughout the city and banks were forc
ed to postpone bond issues until they
could get their messages to the people
through the papers.
WHERE DOES OCR CORN GO?
, The Charlotte Observer is authority,
for the statement that three-fourths of
th world's supply of corn is produced in
the United States, and it goes on to dis
cuss the usages of corn in .an interesting
manner. According to figures obtained
by The Observer about three billion
bushels are raised in the United States
and about four billion in the entire world.
A statistician of the National City
Bank undertakes to tell what becomes of
tin* corn produced in this county. Most
of it. he says, is turned into meats, for
every corn producer has a miniature
“meat factory” on the farm in which lu*
feeds a limited number of hogs and beef
cattle for home consumption and for the
market, so say nothing of the quantity
which he feeds to the horses which he
must use in his farm work. The Depart
ment of Agriculture estimates that 40
per cent, of our corn crop is fed to
swine. 20 per cent, to farm horses, 15
per cent, to cattle ou farms and five per
cent, to livestock not on farms. 10 per
cent, for human food, while only about
two per cent, is exported in the natural
state, though of course a large share of
the meat exports represent corn.
TEXAS LEADS IN CROPS.
According to The Farm National Bu
reau of Research. Texas leads all the
States of ,the United States in the value
of its crops this year. This fact is due
entirely to the large cotton crop which
that State produced-and to the high price
being paid for the staple this year.
The total value of crops, livestock
products and livestock produced on the
farms in 1923 is estimated at $10,208,-
000.000 by tin* bureau of research.
This is ah increase of 13.3 per cent,
oj-er the 1022 production, as estimated by
the r. S. Department of Agriculture. 30.7
per cent, over 1921 valuation and 72.0
per cent, over the average pre-war 1019-
1914 value.
Texas and lowa farm products both
dose to the billion mark. Missouri, Ohio,
New York, Wisconsin, Kansas, Nebraska.
Indiana. . California. Minnesota and
Pennsylvania are next in order. North
Carolina production is fifteenth, with half
run over a billion dollars and Illinois is
a billion valuation.

DARK CELLS AND MI ZZLE
TAKE PLACE OF FLOGGING
Three-Year Man Just Out Says Con
ditions Have Improved Even Them
Raleigh News and Observer-
Dark cells in which men are chained
to the floor in solitary confinement on
a twelve-hour ration of six soda crack
ers and a pint of water have taken the
place of the leather strap in the Hali
fax county prison farm, and some men
have been kept thus, for violation of thi
rules, for sis long as a hundred
and seventy-hours.
This is the story W. .T. Latham, of
Richmond county, who has just com
pleted a three-year prison sentence for
making whiskey,, told The News and
Observer
“For my part, I’d take the leather
any day.” said Latham, a powerfully
built, middle-aged man who claims that
his own term passed without the strap
or censure.
“That's what those who have been
th rough t it say, too,” lie added.
The cells, according to Latham, art
in a building formerly used for a hospi
tal. There are eight of them now and
preparations are afoot to build more. I
They are six feet long, wide enough to
accomodate a man’s body and high
enougfT for a mail of little more than
the average height to touch the ceiling
by standing on his toes. A mere wisp of
light and a lint of ventilation come
through slats at the top. Inside, the
floors and the walls are ceiled smoothly
and the hard floor must serve for a
bench and bed. An opening in the door,
just big enough to allow a pint cup of
water to be shoved through, is kept
securely closed except twice in twenty
four hours when six soda crackers and
a pint of water are thrust into tlie
cell.
Leather Muzzle.
Hanging on tin* wall by a peg. to b<
seen of all who enter tin* house, is a
leather muzzle, a home-made affair that
strap? across tin* face and locks be
hind the head, clamping a wad of
sheep's hide securely over the mouth.
With this on. a man may breath
through liis nose, but he can neither
open his mouth nor sjienk.
The cells are used almost constantly,
according to Latham, aud it is not un
usual that several times a week all eight
of them are full. The State farm, lie
says, now lias a prison population of
about 200. A and B Grade prisoners
under (’aptain Rhein and (’ Grade
under Captain Tom Peebles, who lias
a reputation so effective handling of
desperate men.
“I never knew the muzzle to be used
but qiiee." said Laliani- “Lester Kenan
got it. Lester was serving five years and
was sent down to Captain Peebles' camp
from the Central Prison. They thought
lie had something to do with a letter
that was sent out. While Kenan, with
some other prisoners, was being moved
on the train one of the men made a re
mark about a guard who was standing
at the door of the car with bis back 1
turned- The guard reported Kenan but 1
later told Captain Peebles that lie might
have been mistaken about Kenan having
been tin* one who made the remark. He
said that when he looked around Kenan
was laughing and at tin* time In'
thought Kenan was the man. Anltow.
Captain Peebles ordered Kenan to the
dark cells. After he was put in the
cell, Kenan said something about want
ing to know why lie was treated that
way. They jerked open the door and
put the muzzle on him.
“The muzzle might have been used |Oii
others. Kenau is the only one I know
about."
Last Labor Day. eighteen prisoners
at work ou the dykes, went on a strike
for Labor Day holiday, according to
Latham? Captain Medlin was in charge
of them. When they refused to work he
told them that they would be sent to
Captain Peebles’ cam]). Twelve of them
decided to go back to work but six
stuck it out, were sem over to Camp
No. 1 over which Captain Peebles pre
sides. and were thrown in the dark cells.
Some of these men wen* kept in the
cells as long as a hundred and seventy
two hours. Latham said.
Six Soda, Crackers Now-
Formerly, according to Latham, tin*
dark cell, solitary confinement ration
was one soda cracker and a pint of
water twice a day. Now these prisoners
get six crackers and a pint of water.
When they are released, they are al
lowed to eat as much as they wish.
Frequently, it is afterwards necessary
for them to go to the hospital or so
take medical treatment.
The limit of confinement without
special permission of the Superintendent i
of the State Prison is twenty-four hours. J
At 1 in* end of twenty-four hours.
Latham says, the prisoner is taken out.
his pulse examined by a physician. Dr.
Orr. who lives midway between the two
camps on the Ilaliftx farm, and a tele
gram is sent to the prison superin
tendent for permission to continue the*
confinement if the supervisor wishes.
There is food in abundance at the
farm, according t<» Latham, who says
that much is wasted because of poor
cooking. A vegetable garden there grows
enough to supply four such camps and
the chief lack in the food is in the
preparation and the variety.
And yet, afer IV/t years. Latham
dec’ares conditions are much improved.
Although no strap has ever touched his
shoulders he worked both at'Wadeville
and at Topton road construction camps
when the whip was used frequently.
“I have seen some men get us many
as twenty-four licks in the same spot,"
he said. "I have helped to pour warm
water on a man who hail been beaten
the night before to loosen his clothes
from liis raw flesh. Most of those who
were whipped were weakly fellows who
couldn't move twelve yards of dirt a
day. That was what tin* contract called
for. When a man didn't move liis twelve
yards, lie was reported by the con
tractor's man and he got a
beating. I was strong and husky. I could
move my twelve yards.
“I haven's anything to say against
Captain Peebles or anybody eke for the
way they* treated me. Captain Peebles
| didn’t show me any favors but he didn’t
do me any harm. The only tiling I've got
to say against Captain Rliem is that he
' shows too much favoritism to liis
’ ? 1 * ■
; negroes.
Prison Self-Government-
An indefinite sort of prison seif
' government, according to'Latham has
* grown up on the prison farm since the
’ recent agitation.
“We found out that somebody on the
outside was interested in us,” was the
Avay he explained it. “gome of the long
;THE CONCORD TIMES
timers, men who had been in raison f° r
four, five or six years, took hold of
things. Now, when they see a fellow
about to get in trouble by breaking some
prison rule, they get hold of him. talk
to him aud keep do wit the trouble. Ttr
that way they don’t g*t to the authori
ties for punishment.”
It-was his estimate that infractions
of the prison discipi he. s*:y.e Tim
abolition of the whip and the formation
of this unofficial self-government system
among the prisoners, have been reduced
seventy-five per cent.
“No, we didn’t have any officers and
didn’t have any name for that sort of
thing. Wc just sort of got together our
selves. The supervisors don’t know any
thing about it,” he declared.
Since the order for the abolition of
Hogging, Latham said, the whip has
not been used to liis knowledge and Cap
tain Peebles who used to curse and
-wear at, his prisoners freely has stop
ped this practice. Some of the guards
still curse the men, he declared.
Latham was particularly apprecia
tive of the work that is being done in
Camp No. 2, of which Captain Rhem is
supervisor, by the religious workers of
Scotland Neck. They hold services in
rln} camp every Sunday. Captain Peeb
les. be said, doesn't allow them to come
to his camp.
Puts Murder in the Soul.
“The whole system of treating prison
ers is wrong.” said Latham, looking
back over his past three years. "It
puts murder in a man's soul as soon
as the cell door closes on him. It be
gins when he sees the jailer pass by the
telephone without even a look at it
when lie has promised the prisoner to
Telephone bis wife or liis kinfolk about
his arrest. And it keeps up. with a
piling up of these little things which

tin* way through prison. -
“Judge Finley sentenced me to three
c*'ars in Richmond county for making
4quor. I plead guilty. I thought it was
too hard a sentence but Judge Finley is
a fine man and haven't a word to say
about it. I took my medicine and it's
all over.

"‘But they did. anil now I want to

Why Worry in Business? Advertise.
Philadelphia Record.
Advertising has its important share in
business prosperity. Tliics is not an aca
demic view but is the seasoned opinion
of John G. Jones, vice president of the
Alexander Hamilton Institute, of New
York.
“If people are thinking iu terms of
hard times.” said Mr. Jones, "you will
get hard times. If everybody is talk
ing good times we are more than likely
to have prosperity. The liberal adver
tising of leading firms and industries
in recent years has been a powerful fac
tor in restoring and increasing business.
It is one of tlie most effective things in
preventing panics and Busi
ness conditions are depndent upon de
mand : advertising increases demand.
“What the newspapers make us want
soon become our necessities. L was so
with the automobile, which has been re
sponsible for the largest increase in ad
vertising and luts become an important
factor in the increase in the entire coun
try’s business. The development of civi
lization has been the story of the develop
ment of advertising.
“The next few mouths look bright be
cause business men believe conditions are
sound and "ill continue sound. If the
advertisers of this country keep telling
tin* people their story, keeping up the
demand for our manufacturers, we shall
not have to worry about the continuance
of good business.”

BUSINESS AND THE OUTLOOK
Philadelphia Record.
One day last week a prosperous look
ing gentleman was accosted on the high
way by two friendly strangers, one of
whom pleasantly inquired, “How is busi
ness V” His reply was, “It’s fine; its
fine.’’ Rut lie had nc time for details,
for the strangers in a very systematic
way showed him their guns and relieved
him of his ready cash. While other sec
tions of the country report a reduction
in retail trade due largely to the mild
weather, Philadelphia reports a volume
of retail trade quite without precedent,
and the buying of pig iron on a scale re
minding one somewhat of the activities
of last Spring.
Reports to Dun’s show that there is
still 11 heavy distribution of merchan
dise, as indicated by car loadings, and
there are other evidences that a big butsi
uess in the aggregate is being done. Yet.
the .disposition to operate only as the
need arises remains sharply defined, and
curtailment of production has continued
lat not a few plants.
The industrial feature of the week has
been the buying movement in pig iron.
I which is estimated by The Iron Age as
amounting to 1100,000 or GoO.OOO tons
in six days, approximating the total pro
duction of merchant furnaces for the
whole month of October. "As there has
been no important buying movement in
pig iron for more than half a year, the
significance of the large present pur
chases is taken as a favorable sign for
the turn into the new year. Secretary
Mellon's proposals for tax reduction are
accepted by business and financial i.nter
♦ ( -ts generally as an effectual bat* to
bonus legislation: but it will not pre
vent further agitation, which will con
tinue until a showdown comes in the
December session of Congress. Building
operations have gone on with but slight
recession, continued mild weather being
a favoring factor.
Pittsburgh's market in steel-making
iron has not been 00 active as the mar
ket for foundry iron. The large turnover
in ]>:g iron was facilitated by price con
cessions on the part of some furnaces,
but in the Chicago district furnaces have
marked up asking prices .*>o cents to sl.
Steel mil loperatidns continue to taper
off slightly. The probability of a mild
buying movement in steel products is
hinted 'at. but js not definitely predieted.
lit the textile trades the retailer’s'
hostile attitude toward price' advances
has been a feature of the past week's
developments. In the primary markets
the rise in raw cotton brought about
higher prices in unfinished cotton goods,
leading t > a lessened demand and fur
ther mi }]/ curtailment, with the growing
complaint of inability to operate at a
profit under existing conditions of high
raw cotton and resistance to higher
prices for unfinished fabrics. The Jiome
and foreign wool markets continue firm.
The buying abroad for the American
.trade has been largely in the finer fleeces.
Texas* sales seem to have been for the
dealers, the mills not being yet ready
for new .supplies.
In the Chicago grain market liquida
tion in December wheat was light?:, and
the nearby deliveries showed light
gains. The. sentiment of the market
will be show when it becomes known
whether the new Congress menus to “do
something for the farmer.” Opinion
among the operators as to corn .seems
tixed. some traders looking for May
corn to sell at 00 cents while cyther's
predict SO cents. May now being about
midway between these estimates
and Flagg’s Cotton Letter.
New York. Nov. 20.—The market to
.V. 1;ls s hown a fine undertone and
tair y heavy selling has apparently been
easily absorbed by good trade buying
and the replacement of speculative lines.
The easy manner in which the Decem
ber notices were handled, reports from
Manchester and Worth street showing a
big business being done, and better spot
advices, had an encouraging iii.fuuence
011 the market. Further price-fixing was
still in evidence which added consider
ably to the strength of the market and
until this class of buying shows signs
of slackening reactions of any groat 1
proportions are not expected.

Concord I’bople Are Doing AH They Can
For Fellow Sufferers.
Concord testimony has been published
to prove the merit of Doan's Kidney
Pills to others in Concord who suffer
from bad backs and kidney ills. Lest
any sufferer doubt this evidence of merit,
we produce confirmed proof—statements
from Concord people who again endorse
Doan's Kidney Pills—confirm their for
mer (testimony. Here's a Concord case:
Mrs. Lillian Mclntyre, 131 Franklin
Ave., says: “I suffered from a dull
ache iu my back and sometimes the
pains were knife-like when I stooped and
almost took my breath. I had dizzy
spells and specs came before my eyes.
I was all run down and felt tired. My
head ached and I was nervous, too. My
ankles bleated and my hands puffed up.
My ; kidneys ( were weak, I heard of
Doap's Kidney Pill* and < i psed / 5 them.
My back felt like new and wy kidneys
were regulated.” (Statement given
May 10. 1018.)
On January 23, 1022, Mrs. Mclntyre
added: “Doau’t have never failed to
help me when my kidneys have troubled
me.”

“Mother, is it wrong to say “Rotter
dam?” asked the little seven-year-old

and I hope it will Rotterdam teeth out.”,
A chap of about six was asking his
father a few questions, among wljieh

“Never poisoned any body by mis

’Aery well, then," she replied, heaving
a sigh pf relief, laying a coin on
the counter, “you may give me a nickel’s
worth of cough drops.”
A i*atient in a sanatorium was seen

inquired, with a scowl. “You’re so
much iu arrears.”
