A. B. JOYNER WELL KNOWN
NEWSPAPER MAN DIES
(Greensboro News)
Archie Braswell Joyner, treasurer
of the Greensboro News company,
advertising manager of the Greens
boro Daily News, admired, respected
and beloved of all Greensboro, died
at his home on Magnolia court last
night about 11:40.
Death came with gracious ease. AH
during the day he had been lapsing
into unconsciousness. He lay quiet
ly and without pain, the strength
which had enabled him to wage so
gallant a fight during the long weeks
gradually wearing away. As night
came on he became virtually uncon

he could not long remain.
Members of his family, his wife
his mother, his father, were with
him. He drifted into sleep as quiet
ly as a child.
Mr. Joyner became ill the first
week in July. He was stricken with
malaria fever, which hung on despite
all efforts. He did not seem serious
ly ill and members of his family
were not alarmed. Archie Joyner
was always so joyous and so tre
mendously alive that one hardly
•thought of Mr. Joyner
as sick. About a week ago more
serious trouble developed. Compli
cations were found in his liver and
it was at once realized that his con
dition was critical. A congestion
reached his lungs and other matters
came on to break down the last of
his resistive power. Yet through it
all he suffered little pain; that bless
ed gift was his to the last.
Had Accomplished Much
As news of Mr. Joyner’s critical
condition spread over the city, a
great wave of sympathy was mani
fested from the hundreds who knew
him and loved him. Archie Joyner,
was Greensboro’s own; all men felt
close to him, missed hi> joyous smile
longed for it again. In churches yes
terday prayers were said for his re
covery, not only in his own church
but in others, for everywhere he was
loved. Few men in Greensboro had
so wide an acquaintance and so loyal
and devoted to friends.

HASTY CONCLUSION LOSES
FAT FEE TO PARIS DOCTOR
Paris, July 30 (A>)—A Paris sur
geon is telling a good story against
himself. He was called in to operate
on an American woman for appendi
citis, and when the cure was com
plete the patient, seeking to show her
gratitude in some way that was not
too commonplace, embroidered a ci
gar case and took it to the surgeon.
Unfortunately the surgeon had
just had a run of patients who had
paid for his services by presents of
little intristic value, so he could not
help saying, "No, really Madame,
take away such rubbish: a thousand
franc note would be much more ac
ceptable.’ j
“All right,” said the American wo
man, and opening the cigar case she
drew a thousand franc bill from it,
laid it on the table, and said cooly,
“There were five others like it in the
case.”

wheat acreage, diversified farming
and co-operative marketing are the
keynotes of the resolutions adopted
by the Wheat Producers Conference

immediate results, they declare, as

years. At the close of the sessions

would go a long way putting the
wheat industry on a sound basis
“before snow flies this year.”

representatives from the hard wheat
states of Kansas, Colorado, Missouri
Texas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma.
These states represent 8,236,000
acres now in wheat in excess of the
acreage of 1913 or eight elevenths
of the total acreage of the United
States in excess of that of 1913.
No mention of government price
fixing is made in the resolutions.
As»one delegate pointed out, “The
subject of political action was not
mentioned in the debate. The ha$d
Ihen know that TheTr 'only" sal*

features that stood out most prom

summer fallowing in the hard wheat
states, reduced acreage, improved
cultural methods on the reduced
acreage, diversified crops and rais

recognition that the increasing

WOMAN’S ATTIRE AROUSES
IRE OF GREEK ZEALOTS
Athens, July 30 C45)—Fashionable
women in Athens and foreign women
who follow the moder ntrend in dress
are being terrorized by the violent
activities of a local organization
which terms itself “the Zealots of
Christ.”
The members of this association
have taken a vow to compel modesty
in women’s dress by force. Women
wearing low necked gowns or going
about with bare arms are often
roughly handled, and th eexposed
parts of their person are smeared
with tar.
In several cases recently the malt
escorts of women thus attacked have
given the roughs some very severe
beatings, but nevertheless the sys
tematic campaign of molestation goes
on.
