BELGIAN KING PAYS HOMAGE TO WASHINGTON" MEMORY Albert Places Wreath on Timb at Mt. Vernon Bugle Sounded Tap M Royal Party LamleL Belgium's monarchs paid homage Wednesday to the memory of Wash ington. At peaceful Mount Vernon, overlooking the placid Potomac, King Albert placed a wreath upon the sar cophagus of the nation's first chief executive. There was no more of pomp and ceremonial than when he visited the spots where lie Grant, Lincoln and Roosevelt, but the simple ceremony was none the less deeply impressive. Landing first from the barges which carried them from the Presi dential yacht Mayflower, Vice-President Marshall, the nwembers of the cabinet and their wives had preceded the Belgians uo the gentle sloping walk which leads to the tomb, await ing there the coming of the king. AN bert led the royal party, followed by Queen Elizabeth and Prince Leopold. His majesty uncovered as he ap proached the red brick structure In the face of which is a simple slab of white marble bearing the inscription: "Within this inclosure rest the re mains of General George Washing Then he lifted the huge wreath 04 yellow and white chrysanthemums which rested against the wall and stepped to the gate held open by an aged negro guard, who looked as though he might have been acervltor of the first President. Albert bowed at the entrance and then stepped within, placing the flowers gently upon the granite slab. Again he bow ed, (his time more deeply, and stepped backward from the portal. Queen and prince then made obeisance be fore U) sarcophagus, but no Ameri- can stepped within the touib. There was r.o other ceremony. The trip down the river was one of the memorable events of the Bel gians' Aiueiican tour. As the Mayflower dropped anchor abreast Mount Vernon a bugler sound ed taps and the band played the "Star Spangled Banner" while the military members or the party stood rigidly at salute. The impressive lit tle ceremony was repeated when the yacht began the return journey. Within the Washington mansion they viewed the relics of the great American with more than passing In terest and her majesty, a student of art. described as "wonderful" Hou dan's bust of Washington, made while he was alive. Then they were escorted about the quaint old fashioned flower gardens, the kitchen, laundry and coach house. DEATH OF SIR. LESTER XELSOX. Diesl Saturday Night in Asheville Af ter Ixii(j Illness Mrs. Ward Laney u Sister of Deceased Waxhaw Presbyterian Church Will Probably full Itev. G. B. Thmisii Other Items From Waxhaw Enterprise. Mr. James Lester Nelson, account of whose serious illness was given some weeks ago, died Saturday night at Asheville, following an extended illness of pulmonary consumption. The body was brought to Lancaster Monday morning and burial was at Tlrzah church that day with services conducted by Rev . W. W. Ratchford. Mr. Nelson was a son of J. C. Nelson of upper Lancaster county. He was uboul 42 years of age. Until his health save way three or four years ago he held the state agency for several large insurance companies for the state of Georgia. When attacked by the dread disease he made every effort to fight it off. He spent several months In the Catskill mountains of New York and in Western North Carolina. Last win ter was spent at his home near Tirzah and he returned to Asheville In the spring. All the while he was cheer ful and hoped to get well. His sister. Miss Adelade Nelson, was with him when he died, having been summoned the week before. He was a member of the Presbyterian church and was the highest type of Christian citizen ship. His death will bring sadness to a large circle of relatives and friends throughout this entire section. De ceased is survived by his father and one brother, R. H. Nelson of Ttin monsvllle, S. C and two sisters, Mrs. Ward Laney of this County and Miss Adelaide Nelson of (lie home. The road from Waxhaw to the highway near Cureton's Store has been surveyed and work will begin on It soon. Several changes will be made in Its course. An S curve will be used to lessen the grade on this side the Roue branch and the new road will bear to the left 011 the l yond the bridge.

A canvas of the congrega tion Is belns. mad this week to see If an increase in salary subscriptions can be obtained. Th? schedule of the rural carriers from Waxhaw has been changed and now the carriers leave the office at nine forty-five in the morning in stead of eight o'clock as formerly. This arrangement was all right when the Wilson time was in vogue, but now that the country is doing busi ness according to the honored time of our fathers it makes the carriers mighty late on their rounds. Since the schedule of the "vestibule" has been changed to eight twenty the morning mail from the north can be delivered on the routes the same day and this largely compensates for the later delivery. AX APPEAL TO THE FARMERS. ChulniiH'i Price Asks For (wera tioii Li Cotton Association Drive. To the Editor of The Journal: Will you let me say through the col umns of your paper, that of all times this Is the lime for the farmer and business man or rather men of all occupations to rally with all their forces to the cause of the American Cotton Association. The association has. more than any other force, caus ed the pike of cotton to reach the 40-ceut mark. We need the associa tion to grow and become stronger to maintain these prices la the future. When the drive is put on for nieniber bership (which will be Nov. 10-15) let everybody in Union county rally to the call of the farmer end Join the association. Also give a good liberal subscription to the warehouse. Now is that time. Why ? Because we are able now. Later when the reaction sets In we may not be as able as now. We may not need the money now, but the day Is coming when we will need It. So let's do the sensible thing, build now while we are able and not wait till we are caught napping. Surely we can benefit by the experi ence of the past. We are coming Into our own. Let's apply good business principles to our business and help re deem this fair Southland of ours. So let's all do our duty. I appeal to ev ery one to do his utmost during this drive. Let's make Union a banner county. Respt.. J. N. Price, Pres. PEOPLE I RGED TO WORK BY GO ERXOR BICKETT Re-Construction Commission Issues First Statement After Meeting This Week la Raleigh Must Practice Rigid Economy a.ml Saving Have Faith in God uiul Our Fellow men. Governor Bickett's preliminary statement for the State re-construction commission issued yesterday to the people of North Carolina says: "The State re-construction commis sion created by the general assem bly of 1919, is impressed that the work before the commission falls na turally into two divisions: 1 The pressing necessity of the present hour. 2 The needs of the near future. "The comprehensible work the commission proposes to do will be taken up by committees and reports will be made to the full conunision. The commission will then make spe cific semlings in regard to the sev eral subjects under consideration and these will be given to the public. "The commission is deeply Impress ed that there can be no real Im provement In the present situation until our people shall hark back to the homely virtues of Industry, eco nomy and faith in fellow men. We call attention to one of the most re cent utterances of President Wilson: " 'Only by keeping the cost of pro duction on its present level, by in creasing production and by right economy, and saving on the part of the people can we hope for large decreases in the burdensome cost of living which now weighs us down.' "Work this is essential to increas ed production of the necessities of life end increased production is the only way to curtail the present ex cessive high cost of living. "We call your attention further to the most recent utterance of Mr. Her bert Hoover, who has studied the subject more profoundly than any other living man. and he says: "'It must be founded, too upon the fundamental fact that every sec tion of this nation, the farmer, the Industrial worker, the professional man and the employer are all abso lutely lnter-dpendent upon each other in this task of maximum pro duction and the better distribution of its results. It must be founded upon the maximum exception of every individual within his physical ability and upon reduction of waste, nationally and individually.' Economy In the excitement inci dent to the war and the intoxication induced by much new money, eco nomy has become a lost art and frugality a forgotten virtue, in tne face of the crisis that now confronts us waste Is a crime and improvidence savors of Instants. The commission niRes the people to pratice the most rigid economy in personal expendi tures, and the greatest caution In making investments. If one is not .'-solutely sure that nn investment Is md. let him buy a liberty bond, nu.l our Judgment is that the dollar thus invested will in the not distant future greatly Increase In purchasing power."

Union County Schools. Mr. Wtinnimiaker Examines Cotton Grown By Mr. Wolfe. Several weeks ago The Journal told of "Wolfe's Mammoth Cotton.' grown by Mr. Rosser Wolfe on his farm west of Monroe. When Jir. J. S. Wannamaker was here Mr Wolfe showed him a stalk of HTts unusual cotton and has since had the following letter from the Cotton As sociation President: "I have planted all the leading va titles of cotton for years, big. medium and small bolls. I examined a stalk of cotton grown on your placewhile In Monroe, which you told me you had named the "Afastodian. This cot ton produces by far the largest boll I have ever seen grown. I am con vinced that it is the largest boll grown anywhere to-day. The stalk was well fruited and from all ap pearances It had a very thin foliage It also had a very fine root system and should have a very healthy plant. Your cotton appears to pessrps great merit and should be thoroughly tested." XKW PASTORS TAKE CHARGE OF MARSH YII.l.E CHURCHES. Rev. J. J. Edwards of Hie Methodist and Rev.

Oct. 29. Messrs. Hoyle Starnes and Horace Lathan, who are attending Rutherford coi lege, spent a few days last week with their parents here. School will open next Monday here Prof. Motes requests that every pa tron be, on hand. The compu'sory school law will be discussed freely Prof. Motes says he hopes to teach the best school of hia life. Let us get together and help him. Mr. Virgil Hinson left Saturday for South Georgia on business. Mr. R. C. Nisbet visited his daugh ter. Miss Edna, who Is In school at Albemarle, recently. He certainly thinks that they are building some fine roads In the Oakboro section. "How many people read Scape goat's articles, you reckon?" a friend asked me a few days ago. So I Degan to ask those whom I knew took The Journal and found one In about dozen who did not. Personally I have held a treat Interest In Scapegoat since he first began to send in the Rehobeth items to the Enterprise. 1 represented Prospect and we hart some right friendly quarrels at long range. I car. say that V illie was at wavs writing news that read good. It is hoped that more ex-soldiers of Buford township will be 1 resent at the next meeting of the American Legion Saturday week. The orgam zation Is a splendid one and there if no doubt that every member will cer tainly be fully repaid for the time he loses besides." h's the only ex-soldier oreanization in existence. The cotton buyer who gave The Journal the information that the lint of Union county cotton was inferior to that which is grown in sand must be mistaken, as the Lancaster cotton buvers will bid at least M cent pound more for North Carolina cot ton than that which is grown in the sand. They say the lint is longer and stronger. Mr. G. R. Starnes gave 119 some history of the long staple cotton which Is bringing 32 and up ta r cents per pound. A friend srt Mr. John W. Strrner one boll from an .Tr,.fr,,lt MaUoti. Mr. Stogner rickd th seed from the boll and in the following year planted them. He gathered a few pounds, and again planted it, picking only the best bolls with the longest lint. He gave a few pounds to the late Fletcher Carnes. Mr. Carnes continued to experiment until a good lint and a good yield was secured and this year hundreds of acres were planted iu Lancaster and Union counties from the seed of this one boll. I have one of the smallest bird nests that is built, that of the hum ming bird. The Inside of the nest is but little larger than an ordinary thimble. It is built of moss and is very hard to detect at any distance. I am going to take it to The Journal office on my next visit to Monroe and those who never saw one may get a chance to see it. TEX PERSONS DROWN AS STEAMER MUSKEGON SINKS Hit Pier When Hurrying to Shore to Escaie Gale over Lake Michigan. Muskegon, Mich., Oct. 28. Twelve persons were drowned this morning when the Crosby line steamship. City of Muskegon, formerly the City of Holland, while trying to make the harbor here, struck the south pier and was smashed to pieces, sinking in four minutes. Three of the victims were passen gers, the remainder being members of the crew. There were about 25 passengers aboard the vessel, but most of them made their way to shore. The City of Muskegon left Mil waukee last night in clear weather, but met a northeaster on Lake Mich gan last night. The vessel was trying to make harbor here rather than turn back in the face of the gale, and crashed into the pier in the effort, sinking in four minutes. The exact number of dead has not yet been determined, but it will be at least twelve and may reach twenty. The passenger list went down with the vessel, and it may never be known how many were lost. The bodies of four men have been washed ashore and the beach for miles is being pa trolled. SIX LITTLE NATIONS Small Principalities of Europe That Still Clint; to lnileieiideiire Drawn Out of Century-Long Isola tion by War. The six little nations, hidden away In Europe which have clung to their independence so sturdily through many centuries, Luxemberg, Andorra, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Monaco and Moresnet, were drawn out of their age-long isolation by the war, and now, according to Archer P. Whallon. who writes about them in an article called "Nations that never grew up," in the St. Nichalog, they are likely to be swapped about by the peace conferees before the map of Europe is finally settled. Mr. Whal- Iou'h notes on these six little nations run In part as follows: "Luxemburg is not very large, as nations go, having an area of 98 S square miles, or, In other words, somewhat more than three-fourth the area of Rhode Island. It has a popu lation of 250.000. Its iron mines constitute the source of its greatest wealth and furnishes employment for 8,000 people. The steel mills and foundries have an annual production of goods to the value of $28,000,000. The grand duchy of Luxemburg, its official title, is a constitutional mon archy, the present ruler being the Grand Duchess Charlotte. "Next In extent of territory comes the Republic of Andorra, with 175 square miles nestling up among the Pyrenees, between the French depart nient of Arlege and the Spanish prov ince of Lerida. This little nation has a population of about 5.500. Its ex ecutive authority, two "vigniers," are o.ie by a Spanish bishop and the oth er by France. "The principality of Liechtenstein next In order, is but little more than a third the size of Andorra, having an area of 68 square miles. The population is given at over 9,600 Liechtenstein is 11 miles long, and from 1,200 feet to six nlles wide. It is a mountain valley between Switzer land and the Austrian province of Tyrol, and a little south of the Lake of Constance. Liechtenstein has been more or less Independent since 1719 "On the allies' side of the fight, Just where the oldest republic In the world should be expected to be, Is San Marino. Of all the dwarf nations of the world, the littles republic of San Marino, high up at an altitude of 10.000 feet among th Apennines between the Italian provinces of Fori! and Pesaro-Urhino. is the best known and has the most interesting history The republic has an are.t of but 2H miles of mountainous soil, but its population numbers about lO.oOO and it claims to be able to put in the nein an army of l.00 men, virtually all the men and jo;. b-twi-er, ihe r.ges of 16 and 60. Hi ", Pie HMii lug army in p.-.ce tiii-o is a militia of 6 member!. "Considerably smaller in territory is the principality of Monaco. Lo cated on the shores of the Meaner ranean, surrounded on the land side by the French department of Alpes Maritime, between Nice and the Ital ian frontier. Monaco is a peninsula two and one-quarter miles long, with a width of from 165 to 1,100 yards and having an area of eight square miles: but the total population Is about 19 oon. Within Its limits if loei.tod Men'" Carlo, the most no torious gambling resort In the world. "Vw at the end of the list, we hav the smallest nation of them all. Moresnet Neuter, located four miles southwest of Ihe city of Ai'-la-Cha-pelle. bordering on Germany. Holland and Belgium, with a total area of on ly 1,400 acres."
