To the Editor of The Journil: I
noiice Esq. Brawell of Goose Creek
lovns'uip is claiming the recoro. for
having done the most work this year.
That may be true, but here's what I
accomplished this year. On 26 acres
we gathered 23 bales of cotton and
a: e still picking; we made 59 gallons
oi good sorghum; 40 bushels of
wheal on four acres of land; and
ii! out four hundred bushels of corn.
And during part of the working sea
son I was sick. I paid out something
like $10 for labor, and had no other
assistance except ny two younger
biot hers. C. C. and Herman Williams,
both tinder 21. I am still tha.iking
the Lord for what he has dor.e for
W. O. Williams. Monroe, Fit. 7.
Want III Yields Kept Quiet.
To the Editor of The Journal:
We do not doubt the big yields made
by Esq. C. J. Braswell, but for the
take of other farmers we must ask
him to keep quiet about the extent of
hU fanning operations until the mar
keting season is over. Since you pun
ished about him making so much cot
to:i and potatoes the price of cotton
has dropped several cents a pound,
8!.d potatoes have slumped to 90
ceits a bushel. W.W. Ptisser, Marsh-!

Monroe is probably lite only cily

The other day four neighborhood

the city and knocked out several
lights and t,ashes. This is a vciy
it- fortunate state of affairs.
llecenlly two I'niou county boys
l.r.ve been hazed at Trinity College.
Hazing is in a class with burglary,
stcret assault, highway robbery anil
i-neral nil round hoodlumlsm. If
tie authorities of our Colleges and
I., nisters have not the moral stamina
a: d the backbone to stop these crim
i '.il practices, then it is hightime for
li.e courts to take an active hand in
tic matter. At a Virginia College
i out twenty-five years ago a dozen
!zers hroke into a young Texan's

t: e through the heart, one through

t i his home In Texas. The faculty
i .: d the trustees of this school had
b-en trying for years to break tin
t'uis gang of ruffians. It remained
for the young Texan, a quiet, unor
tVisive, unassuming lad to break up
hazing in this institution for years
to come. Hazing, ought to be a peni

A charter tor the Hawn Ice Creair.
Company, with a capital stock o:
$loo. Oi'O authorized, and $10,000
paid in, has been issued, and at it
meeting of stockholders of the cor
poral ion yesterday morning in ihe
Chamber of Commerce rooms Ihe fol
lowing officers were elected. D. B.
Snyder, president ; W. II. Love, vice
president and general counsel; O. 1)
Hawn, secretary and treasurer and
general manager; and a board of di
rectors composed of Messrs. O. I).
Hawn. G. S. Lee. Sr., Heath Lee. It. A.
Morrow and Albert Rei'.fern.
The company will manufacture ice
cream, fancy creamery butter, and
distribute guaranteed fresh eggs. It
expects to do a business amounting to
$100,000 the first year. Plans for
the erection of a modern building arc
also on foot, but for the present the
plant will be operated in the old
creamery building on Talleyrand ave
nue. Mr. O. I). Hawn, the manager,
has bought the Simpson property on
Washington street, and will move to
Monroe from Hickory, where he has
been living for the past year, in a few
weeks. In addition to the manufacture of
ice cream and creamery butler, milk.
will be sold to the people of Monroe
through sub-stations. It is planned
to install a milk station in a couple of
local grocery stores, one at Icemorlee
and one in North Monroe. Deliveries
of milk will be made by sioi-im tilling
with grocery orders.
The manufacture of Ice cream wil
be the main interest of (he company,
and it plans to ship cream daily dur
ing Ihe summer season to nearby
towns, and lo places as far lis Cheslei
on the Seaboard, to Hamlet and to
Columbia. Cream will also be sup
plied to local druggists, and Mr. Hi'.wn
says he w ill also make deliveries in
one-gallon lo:s lo homes in Monroe.
Orders for about $8,000 worth of
the latest ice cream making machin
ery have been forwarded, and ship
ment will be made by the manufact
urers some time after the first of Ihe
year. The plant will be In operation
by March Hist, which will be snftl
cient lime to begin lo supply the de
mand for ice cream. The capacity ol
the plant will be about two hundred
gallons or cream a "flay. However,
t lie company will begin the manufact
ure of creamery butter within a few
weeks, machinery for thai purpos
being already installed In the tempor
ary building which It will occupy.
Much Interest has been manifested
in the ice cream plant here, and the
promoters had little difficulty in dis
posing of the netssary stock. A
great future for the company Is pre
dicted, and some believe it will be in
ly a mailer of lime before its husine; x
will amount to a half million tlo.
Iiirs or more annually.

Mr. F. A. Blair, of Uniherford Col
lege, district orga.-izer or Ihe world
movement for prohibition and law
enforcement, was in Monroe round
ing up the anti-saloon folks, and
making preparation for a concerled
movement that will make it very un
healthy for a Union County man k
manufacture or engage In Ihe sale
of booze. Public sentiment is the
weapon the W. M. P. and L. F. force.
are preparing to use against illicit
ttafficing in liquor, ard Mr. B'alr
collected quite a number of names of
prominent citizens who will ast 1st In
the campaign. The movement is in
its inception now. but a lively cam
paign. somewhat similar to the tneln
ods employed by the antl-saloor
rotces ten aivd fifteen years ago, win
he started in a few months.
According to the literature distrib
uted by Mr. Blair, the law enforce
ment forces will make It a point to
Impress upon officers the necessity
or enforcing the law. In reference
to the oflicers, extracts from the lit
erature reads:
"Ol Ihe one hundred sheriffs I.'
North Carolina. ma:iy of t'.ieia ae ft
ditTerent us 10 the enforcement of
the temperance laws :ome or them
are in actual sympathy with the vio
lators of the liquor laws.
"Public sentiment in North Caro
lina must be made so strong thin
every sheriff, and evty deputy sher
iff will be compelled lo do their duiy.
The same thing must be made to ap
ply to the federal officers as well as
Ihe County olflcers.
"Campaigns of a local nature arc
being waged in some counties at thii
very tiui" especially one vigorous
one In Catawha cnen'v. Sunday
schools, chutches. clubs and Ihe vari
ous organizations are passing reso
lutions and laking action to break
up the liquor trade.
"The State campaign now belns
organized ought to appeal to W of
our people for the two chlet reason
as given above lhat is to make th
money lhat Is spent by the churches
accomplish the most possible, and o
make our own State a place where
liw and order reigns supreme two
objects worthy of Ihe efforts and of
the n.oney cr every true North Carolinian."

Kepreseniatives of churches all

placed in the rear of the pulpit, o,.
which the returns, as they were re

Green. A telephone had been Install
ed in the church to facilitate th"
gathering of the returns, and till
flu. relies repot led except thirteen.
The church was quickly filled, auc.
the meeting was of a very inspiring
nature. In fact, it war probably tl'"
greatest meeting of Baptists ever held
Jin this county. Before the last b'-li

the various churches had learned ik.i;

At the conclusion of the tiiee'ln-r,
Prof. Beach issued the following
statement:
"As associalional director I wish
to state through your c-iK.niiis my
profound gratification at thd groat
response already made by the chu'ch
es of the association. The folks who
failed to be In the meeting at the
First Baptist church of Mo .10? Sun
day night missed the tnouiii-.rn peak
experience of Ihe campaign. T'to spir
it of gratitude and praise was evident
from all sections of the association.
This spirit bubbled over in some el
oquent responses from laymen on J
pastors.
"The First Church of Monroe fail
ed in nothing which could have added
to the pleasure and success of th
meeting. A splendid lunch was serv
ed by the ladies to all out of town
workers. A 'phone had been Installed
!n the church for the convenience ef
the meeting. The service continued
for three .hours and then the folk.'
were loathe to leave.
"The reports from the church were
very gratifying most of these re
nnt-ts were incomplete however, since
the canvass has not been completed.
Let tne urge upon the churches, those
which have gone beyond their quot:'
as well as those which failed to reach
It. that the canvass be continue.)
through Ihe week until every mem
ber has been reached and if nosslblt

unfair that anv member should be
neglected or unenlisled In this great
rorward movement.
"When the canvass w completed.
please notiry me at once the final re
sults lhat I may make complete re
port for the assocla'ion to headquar

week for the Lord In all our Baptist
churches in Ihe association."

P. M., While Store fun 0hii
Before 0 A. M. Fuel tinier.
In compliance with orders issued
by the Federal government with a
view of conserving fuel, Monroe dry
good stores will close, beginning to
day, at 4 p. 111.. until the order Is re
called. Grocery stores are required
lo close at 6 p. 111., and no merchant
is allowed to open his place of busi
ness before 9 a. 111. Drug stores may
remain open after 4 o'clock for the
sale of medicine, but they can no .'t:;-
pense drinks, tobacco and sundries af
ter lhat hour.
The order applies to all stores re
gardless of whether or not they use
fuel of any kind. Stores in the rural
districts are affected as well as Ihe
city stores. The duration or the or
der is problematical, but some local
merchants believe the 4 o'clock clos
ing hour will continue through the
holidays.
The following interpretation or the
closing hours was issued last night in
Atlanta:
"The regulations apply alike to In
dustries, stores and business houses
actually burning coal, oil or other fuel
in 1 heir plants and to those using
electric power, whether hydro-electric
or steam. This question was given
most serious consideration. The de
cision was based both upon the well
known fact that most of the hydro
electric utilities consume a certain
amount of coal varying with the
amount of water-power available and
upon the conviction thai 10 make any
except ion would involve indefensible
discrimination and endanger th-.'
whole plan of conservation, the exe
cution of which is imperative for the
safeiv of the country. In ibis con
nection it niiiy be slated that hydro
electric power now is being diverted
under direction of this committee
from various points of production to
distant communities where users are
largely dependent upon steani-pro-dticed
electricity, therefore, power
saved by the restriction at points 01'
production Is saving coal elsewhere.
"The commit lee was convinced of
the necessity for extending the hours
of business of grocery and meat stores
and milk depots and a modification of
the result ions was issued permitting
such places of business to remain open
until 6 p. 111. daily except Saturday,
When their closing hour is 9 p. 111.
'"Many merchants and others urged
that they be allowed to open before
9 a. 111. and close later than 4 p. in
on eoiii'it'uu that thev liaed no light
or heal or used candles or kerosene
lamps. No exception of this kind ca'i
be made. Any exception would re
suit in discrimination and tend to
iiullii, ei.'orts lo enforce the regu
lions.
"Cigar and tobacco stands in hotels,
rest a urn ills and office bi'i'fiiiits. r.1:1
road stations and other public places,
will be required to observe the hours
fixed for mercantile establishment"
generally, except lhat such stands
may open for the sale of newspaper.-'
and periodicals without restriction.
"Fruit stands anil confectioners
will be required to observe the same
hours as other stores. Where sand
wiches or food is served at such
stands or at soft drink or cigar and
tobacco departments may open before
9 a. in. and close alter 4 p. in. solely
lor the purpose of serving food. No
drink (except coffee, lea or milk, to
bacco or oilier things except food
shall be sold at such places except
between 9 a. m. and 4 p. in."

Boli weevils, according lo ovus
Homo, who writes about them on
another page, were found on Ihe farm
of Mr. C. W. Uuin, in Jackson town
ship, last August. Here is what h-
says about Ihe discovery of the pest:
Why bless your life, Mr. Editor,
the weevil is in Union Couniy now
or was last summer. A number wero
discovered in Mr. G. C. Brooms' leld...
1 (hink it was in August. This fane
is in Jackson township and belongs
to Mr. C. W. Cuius. lr. A. J. Ther-
rell who has spent several years in
the west and, I think got run bad;
home by Mr. Weevil, inspected thee
specimens on Mr. Brooms' cotton and
pronounced them "sure-nuff boll
weevils."
This is Ihe first intimation received
in Monroe of the appearance -f ih.
boll weevil in Union County, and
there is general surprise lhat th
news has not been circulated here'o
fore. Some believe the discovery of
Ihe weevil should at l?ast have been
reported to the Department of Agr
riculture in order that precautionary
measures might have been taken
against its spiead.
BOLL WEEVIL IN CHESTERFIELD
Our NeigblMti-iiig County's Seed H.es

The long heralded and much an
nounced boll weevil has finally ap
peared in Chesterfield count v, says
The Cheslei field Advertiser.
This time there is no uncertainty.
The report is authentic and the proof
is indisputable.
Last week the Government sent its
expert, Mr. Tucker, from Washing
ton to this locality lo investigate re
ports that bad been received stati'ig
that Cheterlield county had been in
vaded by the weevil.
Mr. Tucker and County Agent W.
J. Tiller immediately began a thoi
ough investigation. ,s i result Mr.
Tucker mis many specimens of tlv.'
pest in his possession and Mr. Tilnr
also carries a sample, all of whirl,
were taken from cotton plants in th v,
county. In and around Cheraw every
Held of cotton that has been visited
yielded a few weevils. About Ches
terfield no actual weevils were found.
Inn plenty of evidences were to be
seen Indicating lhat they had bee.,
at work. The recent frosts have
probably caused them to hibernal"
for the winter. The quarantine Itii'
now will include the town of Ches
terfield. This means lhat cotton hulls
may not be shipped from here lo
points to the North not yet infes'.e,!
by the weevil.
