C, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1919. $1.50 PER YEA CASH. CAN PAY FIFTY CENTS FOR COTTON AM) MARK PROFIT Thai I the Statement of Mill Owner, Who Back Wminamaker In HU Charge That Ttiere Is Only a Sur plus of 3,000.000 Bales. Columbia. Oct.J. "As president or the American Cotton Association, I appeal to the cotton producers to hold their cotton for the minimum price." said J. Skottowe Wannamaker in an appeal to the farmers of the south. "If you sell at present prices, you are selling below the cost of produc tion. you are helping those who are lighting against us and you are shoul derlng an unnecessary loss. Stand by the south." Mr. Wannamaker at the same time made public the following, letter which he said he had received from one of the largest manufacturers of the. south: "Have just closed an order for around 3.000.000 yards of cloth. Could have sold a much larger order had I deemed it wise to do so. How ever, am convinced that we will see much higher prices in all commodities and manufactered products based up on the price at which we sell this cloth I could pay 50 cents per pound for cotton, basis middling, and still make an enormous profit. However, it is but natural that we buy the cot ton as cheaply as possible. You, of course, realize the fact that the south ern manufacturer does not set the price for cotton, but buys it at the price set elesewhere. I am a southern man vitally Interested In all that Kes to the upbuilding of the south. I be lieve in a square deal, for this reason I am giving you this information. "It is gradually dawning upon le gitimate trade that the statistics is sued by your department were con servative, that your statement of sur plus as carried over on August 1, was conservative. The surplus carried over on August 1 as shown by sever al different Arms and individuals in cluded an enormoi-s account of tin splnnable cotton. We had no idea that there was an excess of 3,000. 000 bales of spinning cotton carried over o:i Aug. 1. The southern man ufacturer is glad to see the producer get a high price for his cotton. The producer is fighting against fearful odds. However, on his side are the facts, figures and statistics and we feel convinced that he Is going to win. A much higher price for cotton is in evitable once competition enters the markft. Hiemember that Europe is bare of cotton and cotton goods, re member that the English are the shrewdest traders in the world. They will never consent to lose their enor mous cotton business, you can rest assured that exports will be limited only by the supply, and the supply of raw cotton will not fill the demand. With this information It would seem that it would be the part of wisdom for the producer to sit steady, ana hold his cotton for the minimum price ieromninded by your associa tion, which of course we understand is only a temporary price based upon a market without competition and not based upon the price of the man ufactured product. "I am buying my raw cotton now, as I feel convinced I will never have the opportunity to buy it as cheap again, and I am, convinced that once the' manufacturing interests under stand the true condition there will be a scramble to fill their wants from the inadequate supply." lOU FIXED FOR SCRAPPING He and Brother lawyer Hud Little DiHiigivi'inent on Court Square Mr. James H. Pou of Raleigh, who Is well-known In Monroe, and who has made several speeches In Monroe, donated $5 to the Wake county school fund for fighting a brother lawyer, S. Brown Shepherd, on the courthouse walk In Raleigh Friday. Shepherd was given the same penalty. The Raleigh paper did not state the trouble between the two attorneys. Two other Raleigh lawyers, J. W.

RACE RIOT IX ARKANSAS Death Roll Now Total Fourteen Trouble the Result of Clashes Be tween a Poti.se Searching For Mur derers of It R. Agent and Negroes. The situation at Elaine, Arkansas. a small town near Helena. Is critical Four white men and ten negroes are dead as a result of clashes between a posse searching for the murderers of a railroad special agent, and groups or negroes. Five hundred U. S. sol diers from Camp Pike, Ark., reached Elaine last night and the situation Is believed to be well in hand. Gover nor Brough accompanied the troops, The trouble is said to have been brewing for two weeks or more. Ac cording to Information gathered, ne groes of tbe county have been organ lsing secretly, providing themselves with high powered rifles and holding' semi-weekly meetings to drill and prepare for the day. when, according to promises made by the organizers, they were to be called upon by the government to join In collecting 50 cents a pound for their cotton. Under the mystic plan the negroes were promised that the government was to pay them for their cotton direct and they, in turn, were to settle with the land-owners. One report said to have been circulated among the negroes was that a strike of cotton pickers was to be declared in a few days and tenant farmers would be expected to remain until after the coming 'meet ing of the world cotton congress in New Orleans, when a delegation -was to come to the cotton belt to adjust matters with the negro cotton raisers. SAYS NOVUM HOMO DIDN'T ALLOW ENOUGH FOR RENT Therefore, He Makes a Revision of Ills Cotton Production Figures, ami Adds Some liiteii'stinx Comment. Correspondence of The Journal. Waxhaw R. F. D. 1. Oct. 2. In Tuesday's Journal we tried to show what cotton 'should be selling for, if the makers of it are to be remuner ated for the labor expended in the production of it. One man has told us we put the rental charges at only half what it really is, since 1000 lbs. or two bales to the plow. Is the usual charge for the use of land In this county, and we had allowed only one bale. I suggest then that we com promise and call it one and one-half bales and let it go at that for the present. We will take the same one- horse farm we handled Tuesday (20 acres and figure tt by the same yield and take off one and one half bales for rent, leaving the tenant Ave bales and the se.ed out of the whole six and one-half bales. At thirty cents, which is probably above the average, he will receive $750 for the cotton, and $183.25 for the seed, or a total of $935. 25 for the whole. Out of this he pavs $180 for fertilizer, $250 ur mule feed, $35 rent of mule, .515 for tools. $25 for seed, $22 for ginning, and $13 for bagging and tits. This makes au actral outlay of $540 from the tenant's five bales and the seed, and leaves hiia $395.25 for wages for himself, his wife, and the childn it that came to his assistance during tli hoeing und pi king time. Out of thU monstrous su a of $395.25 he must feed his famll.', clothe them, pay doc tor's bli 3 and drug bills, send them to school six mouths and buy books at-a cost- of four times what It should be, cou'ilbute to everything that conies his way In the form of charity. Red Cress, blue cross and criss-cross; also mUsloimty; ar stamps, bonds and bums. He m.st pay tax, take the children to amusement parks, have the dentist examine their teeth twice a year, look after the welfare of the community generally,and If he complains that his bank account is running low, he Is pointed out as a never-do-well, and may suffer the penalty of complete ostracism for be ing no-count, no-how. With these actual conditions of the farm staring us in the face, It is greatly deplored by many that so many young men are forsaking the farm and going into other pursuits, and you wonder at it. We read a few days ago of a young man who had gone into a mill and worked a few days during the lay-by season and had made more money In these few days In the mill than he could make In a whole year on the farm. In fact, had made so much money he had taken a pleasure trip, and the last that his father had heard from him was a postal card sent home that wis written by the young fellow while seated on top of the Washing ton monument. Do you think that young man will be willing to tie himself to the farm as a life occupation? Novus Homo. Must Secure Permit to Make Repairs or Build Closet. The state law requires that permit be secured from the city building In spector before any houses may be built, or repairs made. You are also required to secure building permits to erect the new sanitary privies, like the state board of health demands should be put up. You can save money by coming to me for the per mit, as you save me time going after you. I can charge you $5 for a per mit, but It Is much less to those who take the trouble to apply for them. Carpenters must see that permit has been issued before beginning to work. Very truly. J. FRANK HILL. The Mecklenburg grand jury re turned indictments agains six men on charges growing out of the street car strike and riot at the cor barns on August 28. WILLIAMS WILL MAKE 2im ON THIRD ACRE SWEET POTATOES New Salem Township Fanner Real! ten Rig Profit on Small Patch of "YaHer." Two hundred dollars is what Mr, J. 11. Uliams. who lives on Marsh ville route 2. near Euto. believes he will realize off of a third of an acre of sweet potatoes this year. He has already sold 90 bushels off half of the third of an acre patch at prices ranging from 11.25 to $2 a bushel and believes he will get more out of the remainder. As a conservative estimate, he fig ures that he will get 90 bushels more, which will make a total of 120 bush els. The average marketing price he believes, will average $1.40 per ousnei, giving him a total of $252. The cost of making the crop is es timated by Mr. Williams to be $67.50 This is a very liberal estimate, as a perusal of the Items will show. He allows $5 for fertilizer, $5 for ma nure, 12.50 for rent of land, $10 for preparing land and planting seed, $10 for working crop. $5 for harvesting, or gathering, and $30 for hauling to market. On this basis, an acre devoted to sweet potatoes would have returned the New Salem man $600. or more, He had a brother who several years ago had a small patch which made such a yield that basing the figures for an acre it would have made 1000 bushels. 1 Mr. Williams is one of the coming young farmers in this county. He raises his own wheat, meat, corn, and everything else possible. At present he is trying to develop an orchard, and his neighbors say he will have one of the best In this section In a few years.

The supreme triumph of D. W. Griffith's noted career as a world fa mous screen director "Hearts of the World." will be seen at the Pastime Theatre October 9th and 10th, twice dally. Described as the greatest ot all filmed love stories, the scenes and action of the play took place in France two years after the Great War started. Back of the battle lines In Flanders, through stricken villages In the ruined section of France, follow ing the British army, risking life a hundred times to ge close enough to the firing line to get effective materi al for a background to his story, Mr. Griffith, his camera man, and his in trepid company of players moved and acted for the camera, within sound of the i)lg guns, near bursting shells. until at last the signal was given that the task had been completed. In peaceful villages far from the turmoil of war, amid rustic surroundings of such great beauty that they resem bled Corot landscapes, Mr. Griffith and his associates took the wonderful scenes which show the beginning of the great love story depicted In "Hearts ot the World," supposed to have taken place two years before the war started. Amidst such stirring and beautiful scenes the sweetest of all love stories was enacted by the beautiful and charming Glsh sisters. Lillian and Dorothy, with Robert Harron leading man, George Fawcet, Robert Anderson and other players. all of whom risked their lives for the big dramatic scenes In the fio-.t trenches. IiOCAL SOLDIERS APPLY FOR CHARTER FOR A LEGION POST Fifteen Ex-Sen ice Men Sign Appli cation Which Gives Monroe a Post in Soldier Organization. Application for a charter to organ ize and maintain a post of the Amer ican Legion at Monroe has been sign ed by fifteen local ex-service men and forwarded to C. K. Burgess, state chairman of the Legion, at Raleigh. On the Issuance of the charter the post will be named and organized, and a campaign for members started. Those who signed the application are Russell R. Edgeworth. Henry D. siewart. K. L. Payne, George C. Pru itt, R. S. Houston, Frank Redfearn. John Beasley. James B. Gill. Robert S. Howie. Sam. H. Lee, John D. Futch. Jr., W. H. Williams. George L. Hart, A. A. Levy and M. W. Williams. No name for the post has been de cided upon, though one of the signers suggested that it be called "The Mel- vln Deese Chapter," in honor of the first native born Union county man to receive mortal injuries in battle. Re alizing the importance of selecting a proper name, those interested will ex ercise great care before making a de cision. Only a few chapters have been or ganized in North Carolina so far, and Monroe will of course rank among the first to act. It is the intention of those interested to enroll the name of every ex-service man in Union county as a member. All who served in the army and navy at any time between the declaration of war and the sign ing of the armistice are eligible to membership. Tax. Appraisal of Jackson Township Completed.

Fif:y aonars per mile is the maximum al lowed provided the county spends a like sum. Mr. Mullis is now trying to get a maintenance fund from the state for the Pageland road, and thinks he will succeed in his efforts. The Waxhaw road has been put in a satisfactory shape already. Also, the Concord road, with the exception of a small stretch from Benton's Cross roads to the Crooked Creek road is in A-l condition. Many peo ple use this road going to Charlotte. and find It much better than the old road. There is not so much dust, either. A new road, Mr. Mullis said, will be cut from Waxhaw to a point about twenty miles distant to connect with the Columbia highway. Work on this project will start in a very short while. NEGRO LEADERS SEEK TO ALLAY RACE FRICTION A Declaration of Principles is Issued, Sanctioned by Snpt. Brooks ami Gov. Rhkett Conference Held In Raleigh. The declaration of principles unan imously adopted by a representative Dody of two score leaders of the ne gro race In North Carolina In con ference with State Superintendent of Public Instructon E. C. Brooks and others in Raleigh, with the sanction of Governor Biekett, and designed to assure most amicable and co-operative relations between the races in North Carolina and throughout the country, was made public yesterday and is to be given nation-wide pub licity through a special state bulletin. The document is declared to be positive, forward looking, designed to allay friction, put an end to racial ag itation and strife In ordir that a new educational program being applied In North Carolina may not be obstruct ed. North Carolina negroes are de clared to be In a better state of pros perity than ever before and wholesale migrations through labor agitators are warned against as not In the in ters! of the negroes. There is warning against incendi ary articles, false charges that stir race animosity and misunderstand ing, and appeal is made for emphasis on the brighter side of racial rela tions and conditions. There Is insistence that the negro in the main receives the same Justice in the courts that "any other receives that has few or no friends" without discrimination because he is a negro but usually because he ts friendless, that the new juvenile courts assure increased dispensing of Justice and more care for negro youths caught In the toils of the law and guaranteeing them more friends In courts. As to public utilities the declara tion says negroes move Into white residence districts for better home fa cilities necessary ' to health rather than for intermingling with whites, and providing negro districts with better water, sewerage and other ac commodations will solve this problem Also attention to equal accommoda 'ions In public conveyance Is stressed. As to intermingling of the races on social equality it Is declared that "any individual or society, in or out of the state, that advocates the Inter mingling of the races on terms of so cial equality and intermarriage is do ing great harm to the negro, for wherever this doctrine finds lodgment it stirs race prejudice and threatens the well being of both races. As to lynching.' It is declared that removal of the -cause will stop mob violence. Innocent men have been lynched but Innocent women have been outraged by lowest specimens of either race "and patriotic negroes everywhere are readv to unite with patriotic white men to protect women of both races and remove this terror that hangs over the south." Appeals to force are too often made bv self-ap;o! tiled leaders In and out of the state and are the most dan gerous enemies to all as encouraging mob law. Ministers and other leaders and the press are urged to magnify the negro's opportunities rather than stir supposed grievances, stressing what negroes have achieved and can achieve and what their opportunities are with united effort for good will.

History of Broun Cm Union Rap. list Association. (From the Wadesboro Ansdnian.) A book which will be read with genuine interest by the Baptist peo ple of Anson and Union counties has just been issued by Rev. C. J. Black, Rev. Joseph A. Bivens and Rev. M. D. L. Preslar. It is a history of the Brown Creek-Union Baptist Associa tion composed of churches in this and Union county and in addition to the history, there are a number of brief sketches of the lives of many of the pioneer Baptist preachers of the two counties. The book is well written aud contains so much local history of interest to Baptists that all ol'the older and the yot.nger generation also will want copies. The first chapter deals with the coming of Baptists to this section ot North Caroliua and Hie second Is a history of the Brown Creek Associa tion, constitution, rules of decorum, declaration of principles and a ctear cnt idea of the faith ot this strong church. In chapter 2 is an account of the first anniversary of the Brown Creek Association, held in Monroe October 20-22, 1855. Other chapters following give accounts of sessions held after that time, the further growth of the denomination and the "bloody period" of the Civil war. Then the period of re-organization, the various educational enterprises and the history ot the Woman's Mis sionary work and the Wingate School, Then comes a history of the vari ous churches In Union and Anson and the work of such leaders In this section as Dr. E. A. Covington, Dr. W. J. McLendon. T. B. Henry, Wilson Ashcraft. J. T. Redfearn and the first church in Wadesboro. While this part is interesting, probably the most Interesting part is the sketches of the r.iinisien of these early churches who helped to tuak this history. Among these sketches, accompanied by many pictures, are the following, known to the older men and women of Anson and Union counties: Rev. J. L. r'inett, Elder Joseph Williams, W. F. Brrslngton, Elder John Culpep per. El.Ur E. L. Dnvls, Elder Joel Gulled e. Dr. J. B. Richardson, Rev. O. O. Wilhoit. Rev. John James Beas ley, Rev. D. A. Snider. Rev. A. B. Caudle, Elder A. Bivens.
