W. W. MEN Virginia Town Makes Them, Mostly Finns, Kiss Flag And Leave Town. . Weirton, W. Va., Cct. 7. One hun dred and eighteen alleged members of the Industrial Workers of the World captured in a raid near here today, were marched into the public square of Weirton, forced to kiss the Ameri can flair and were then driven out of town by police and deputies. Seven others, suspected of beinj the leaders, after kissing the flag, were taken to the county jail at New Cum berland, where they will be held pend ing investigation by federal autheri-' ties. ' -.,.. The raid was carried out without any serious disorder. Authorities of Han cock county and Weirtor had been searching for the rendenzvoua of the alleged I. W. W. since there appeared on the sidewalks here written threats that "the I. W. W. will get you." Last night the meeting place of the men wanted was located in an old bam on the Hancock county road, south of here. It was surrounded by heavily . armed deputies and a few entered the barn. The few in the barn sought to escape without success. A search of the place resulted in the finding of a large quantity of "red" literature half a ton; it was said in which the flag of anarchy was ex tolled and the prediction made that the extremists would rule the world. The deputies also found the names of 18 men, supposed to be members of the organization meeting in the barn. Im mediately deputies were sent out and the men were rounded up in the public square. There was one fight after an other in bringing the men- to the square, and even after they were cor ralled there was resistance when the deputies gave them the option ef kiss ing the flag or going to jail. ' A big American flag was strung across the street over their heads while another flag was used for the kissing. Most of the men were Finns, and they were told in their native tongue that they must kiss the flag or remain in custody. Protests came from many, but they were in vain. ; Some voluntarily took hold of the flag ;' and buried their faces In it. The men were then informed that they must leave town. - Again there was a pro test from many but they were escorted to the town limits, nevertheless, and ordered to leave.

The Public Schools of Lincoln County To Open Nov. 3, 1B1 All Children From Eight To Fourteen Tears Of Age Will Be Required To Attend School on And After This Date For The Entire Term of The District In Which They Live. The Board of Education of Lincoln County in session October 6, 1919, set the date for opening the public schools of this county, which have no more than six months term, for Monday, November 8. 1919. All the schaols will run for a term of six months this year and it will be necessary to begin them on this date in order to close them before the farm work demands the services of the children in thj Spring. School Committeemen and teachers are requested to make all necessary preparations for beginning school before this date in order that no school may be delayed in opening promotly at the appointed time, says Sunt. Beam. The Board of Education passed the following regulation, governing the attendance of children on the public schools for the year 1919-1920. That where it is apparent that the demands of the farm are. serious enough to re quire the immediate services of the child or children, the children may be excused from attendance upon the schools until November 3, 1919. It is further ordered by the Board of Ed ucation that all the rules and regu lations governing the compulsory attendence upon the schools of children between the ages of eight and fourteen years shall be strictly en forced in the county of Lincoln on and after Nov. 8, 1919. Supt Beam says that it is hoped that all school committeemen, teach ers end patrons will give their hearty co-operation to the carrying out of this law. ' Industrial Conference Began Its Work Monday.

A basis of co-operation between the three great elements in the life of the nation which will go far toward eliminating strikes and other social unrest, is hoped for as a result of the deliberations.

Exhibits of Farm Products at Pleasant Home Came Up To Expectations of the Most Optimistic. The people of the Pleasant Home section made good with their Commu nity Fair, which was held Wednesday of this week. The exhibits of every thing grown on the farm, as shown in the school building, surpassed the ex pectations of the most optimistic. The exhibits shown wore of fine quality and great variety, and would make a creditable showing in competition with any anywhere. The ladies of that sec tion, it could be easily seen, had a hand in the success of the fair, their ex hibits assembled from the homes of that progressive community were es pecially attractive. In . the canned goods section of the school building, everything canable was on exhibit, and the care given to preparing this ex hibit was very noticeable to the close observer. There were four individual exhibits of 36 jars each, credited to Miss Ethel Self, Miss Alma Yoder, Miss : Okla Heavncr, and Mrs. Clifford Leonard The field crops of the farmers was a special feature of exhibit in the school building, and considering the shortage of many things this year, the Pleasant Home folks did themselves proud on their splendid Bhowing. A feature of the day was a sumptu ous picnic dinner, served at noon by the people of that community, and there were a number of invited guests from town and county, and the appe tite created by looking upon the pro ducts of the home and farm, was here fully satisified everybody surrender ed to the well prepared ham, chicken, beef, cakes, pies, pick!es, etc. Talks were made during the after noon by Supt.

Sixty-one million dollars. That's t Vl a fntal nf Kanlr.dnfimiiil ...il... in December, . the last year of-'thenominaii?nal work with. small regard world war; i millions in our 82 na- tional banks and 42 millions in our 442 State banks. It is nearly three times the total of 191561 against 22 mil lions. ' ; During the last two years of the war we invested 163 million dollors in Lib erty bonds and war stamps and gave three and a half million out of hand to the Red Cross, the army Y, the Sal vation army and similar other war re lief agencies. And every time we turned around we'd hear somebody say: Surely this is the last drive! If this sort of thing keeps up we'll go into bankruptcy! And yet we ended the war with 61 million dollars in our banks, in time certificates and saving desposits. . Our surplus cash m the banks of North Carolina today is more than we have been able or willing to invest in Church and school properties Church and State, public and private in 260 years of history! It is just about equal to the total we have invested in motor cars during the last ten years! If ever again we talk about being poor in North Carolii n, we ought to be ashamed of ourselves. We are rich enough to invest in anything we really care, about in Church pur poses, college endowments, school nouses and school supports, improved highways, whatnot. If anywhere we ever again balk at investing in these primary agencies of civilization, it will be because we are incurably tight SKinned and close hsted. , The day of pint-cup thinking about the big-scale concerns of life and des tiny is surely at an end in the Good Old North State. OMAHA SITUATION. In response to recommendation of Maj. General Leonard Wood, who was assigned to quell the rioting in Oma ha, Neb following the lynching of a negro and the burninc; of the court house, the city voted to appoint 100 new policemen and carry out a pro posed semi-military organization.

DR GEORGE TRUETT'S ADDRESS IN CHARLOTTE. A goodly number of Baptist of town and county were in Charlotte Wednesday night to hear the address of Rev. Geo. Truett of Dallas Tex. Truett is admittedly the bast preach er in the Southern Baptist cenvention, which is almost the tantamount to saying that he is the finest Baptist preacher in the world. Perhaps A. C. Dixon formerly of the Tabernacle church in London, is his equal in elo quence: but for sheer spirtual pow er it is seriously to be doubted if Truett has his equal in the Baptist denomination anywhere in the round world. He was heard by a great audi ence in Charlotte, v Dr. Truett spoke in the interest of the Baptist 75 million campaign, He had six speaking engagements in the state, The cause that he represented is the undertaking of Southern Baptists to raise S75,0UU,U00 within the next five years for the seven (treat objepts of benevolence which the denomination supports, The distribution to lhe fund mill l, .o fnlU.t.c- Foreign missions j Christian education J Home missions I Aged ministers' relief Orphanages Hospitals $20,000,000 20,000,000 12,000,000 5,000,000 4, 700,000 2,125,000 , North Carolina Baptists are called upon for at least $6,000,000 of the to tal, of this sum a little more than half $8,140,000, to be exact, will be spent Oh the object of the North Caro lina Baptists state convention. In adopting this system the Baptists are merely endeavoring to put their work on a sound and scientific finan cial basis. Hitherto they have gone after it piece-meal, the respective sec retaries of each object to which the denomination contributes struggling eacn tor his own department of de . "... l"a oegm ning this year the denomination goes on the budget system, the budget amounting to $15,000,000 a year for five years, and the workers for the budget as a whole, and not one man for foreign missions, another for home another for Christian education, and so cn. Everybody is setting his shoulders to the wheel for the one big fund. The raising of this amount will vast ly extend the Work of the denomina tion in the foreipn field, enabling the foreign mission board to employ 200 additional missionaries; it will estab lish on a firm foundation the 132 Bap tist schools, academies and colleges scattered over the south that are now endeavoring with pitifully inadequate funds to care for the educational needs of 18.000 voune Deonle from RnnHet homes; it will strengthen the hands of tne nome and state mir.sion boards, en patred in tho work of tha donnm;nAf;A in tne state and m the south; it will provide a resonable pension fund for aged Baptist ministers, wornout in the service, and unable lonper to sustain active life ;it will care for 5,000 orphan boys and girls. Americans whose needs are no less great and heart-wrenching man mose oi tne nenthen In foreign lands. In short, it will put Baptist de nominational work squarely and firmly on its feet, in' position to go forward indeed. CATAWBA FAIR. The Hickory Record discusses the recent Catawba county . fair as fol lows: ., , "Those who are interested in the Catawba Fair Association should de termine this week whether it is to be continued as a jollification and a car nival, with more wheels of fortune than anvthino- else, or whether it. la til be run as an agricultural fair. The gentlemen who turn various wheels at. ten cents a turn make the point that the man who places his dime on a) number has a better chance of getting) his money's worth than the man who 1 spends 50 cents to enter the o-rnnnHaJ To us it appears to be about 50-50. "But the sort of fair we are having tnis wecK is not calculated to improve the iarming, heln the community com - merciallv or better the morals of anv who attend. I "The public wants some amusements, but it also wants to look upon some exhibits. Aside from the enttla hnrsM.; Jiogs poultry, there is nothing to tho fair. The president of the association' nas worked hard, the Kecord is sure, and probably some of the directors have bestirred themselves, but there has not been enough interest "Let's decide pretty quick whether we are goinp; to have a fair next year or a lot of shows and the like."

October ARKANSAS BLACKS ARE VICTIMS OF A SHREWD NEGRO Organizer of Insurrection Took Their . Saving Stamps and Liberty Bonds Preyed on Ignorance Helena, Ark., Oct. 6. A statement was made today on the recent riots by E. M. Allen, of the committee of seven authorized by local officials and Gov ernor Brough to investigate the trou ble, charging that the affair was an organized negro uprising, fostered by a negro who preyed on the "ignorance and superstition of a race of children for monetary gains." Mr. Allen who is one of the lead ing men marked for death, after hear ing confessions, examining circulars and ether evidence procured by state and military officers m connection with the work of the committee, issued the following statement to explain what the committee had found to be the sit uation leading to tfW killing of five white men end upwards of a score of negroes: , "The present trouble with the ne groes in Phillips county is not a race riot. It is a delliberately planned in surrection of the negroes against the whites directed by an organization known as the 'Progressive Farmers' and Household Union of America,' es tablished for the purpose of banding negroes together for the killing of white people. This union was started by Robert L. Hill, a negro, 26 years of age, of Winchester, Ark., who saw in it an opportunity of making easy money. He has been a farmer all his life but lately had been posing as a, 'private detective doiner work in this and all foreign countries." "Hill started his first union work in April of this year" Mr. Allen Airt "Ho told the negroes it was necessary for an memoers oi tne union to arm them selves in DreDaration for the rtv hi, they should be called upon to attack xneir wnite oppressors. "Negro men were charged $1.50 en trance fees ond negro women 50 cents, Mr. Allen said in his statement. Another form of extortion sea snares or $10 each to all the ne groes in a , proposed building to : be erected Dy the union at Winchester, the statement says. "Hill would find out what negroes possessed thrift stamps and liberty bonds and would ioouc o ccriuicHie stating that so many snares had been purchased at $10 per share and all ing shares in the amount of $50 or more were told that their names would be engraved in the building. In other words, he had so planned his cam paign tuat any negro possessing from 50 cents to $50 was iriven an nnn. tunity to invest in something con nected with the union. "Another scheme' used hv Hill obtain money was to appoint lending ui-jsiucs m.vucn longe as private and foreign detective, furnishing iireiii more nicKie pmted stars and pair ot nickie plated handcuffs for wnicn tney paid him $50 each. ma meeting at wincnester in August was attended anil . aHHni.J bv white men.

"I have cross examined and talked to at least luu prisoners at Elaine iney oeiong to different lodges in that section. The stories they tell are almost identical as to the promises and representations made by Hill. He even told them that probably some of the negroes would be called upon to die before "equal rights' would be as sured but thev must look selves as crusaders and die if necessary to secure the freedom of the other members of their race. "All lodpe meetings were required to maintain an armed 'out guard' of six sentinels.

MORE PRODUCTION URGED BY COUNCIL IN PUBLIC APPEAL. Members of President's Cabinet Study The High Cost of Living-Work and Co-operate. ;.. Washington,, D. C, Oct. 5. Lack of production, unavoidable war waste an 1 considerable profiteering are the main cause of the present high cost of liv ing problem, the National Council of Defense finds. The Council, which is composed of the Secretary of War, Navy Interior, Agriculture, Commerce, and Labor has made a careful investi gation and finds: That the nation 8 productive pow ers have not been fully utilized since the armistice. That too few goods, notably the nec essities of life, have been produced and that even some of these good haw been withheld, from the people. That the high cost of living is due in part to unavoidable war Waste ami increase of money and credit. That there has been and is consider able profiteering, intentional and un intentional. The Council believes that the reme- ies for the situation are: To produce more goods, and to pro duce them in proportion to the needs of the people. To stamp out profiteering and stop unnecessary hoarding. To inforce yirgorously present laws and promptly to enact such further laws as are necessary u prevent and punish profiteering and needless hoarding. lo bring about better coroperation and method in distributing and mar keting goods. To keep both producer and consumer fully informed as to what goods are needed and as to what supplies are available, so that production many an ticipate the country s demands. 1 he statement issued today by (gov ernor Clarkson, director of the coun cil, continues as follows: Goods and money are the means of life. Better standard of living are im possible without producins more goods. Man cannot consume what has not been produced. "At the war s end our allies had des perate need of the essentials of life. I We have had to share our resources with them, but this drain will grad ually lessen. In so lar as our shortaae of goods is due to this cause we can well afford to be patient. - It is just essential that we have patience with the econemic situation here at home. The process of pro duction requires time. If production is rapidly increased, vastly improved con ditions will, prevail in America when the results of present and future la bor begin to appear. "learn work is imperative. It is lust as essential between retailer, whole saler and producer as it is between em ployer and employee. One group of producers cannot wait on another group. The manufacturer, the farm er, the distributor must each immediately assume his part of tne burden and enter upon his task, lhe nation cannot afford cur tailment of goods vital to the people. Un American business rests a yrave responsibility for efficient eooperation in bringing nbout full and proportion ate production. On American labor rests an equal grave responsibility to attain maximum unit production and uninterrupted distribution of goodc if labor itself is not to suffer -mi further rises in the cost of liv- lhe entire nation producer, distri butor and consumer alike should re turn to the unity that won the war. Group interests and undue personal gain must give way to the good of the whole nation if the situation is to be squarely met. "Our common duty' now, fullv a. much as in the war, is to work and to save. In the words of the President in his addresa to the country on August i!o, iyi, only by increasing produc tion and by rigid economy and savins on the part of the people, can we hobo far a large decrease in the burdensome cost of living which now weighs us down." Work, save, cooperate, produce. (Signed) Newton D. Baker, Sec- tertary of War and Chairman of the Council, josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, Franklin K.
