By W. T. B03T, iu the Greensboro News. Democratic headquarters preparing for the filial month of the contest in North Carolina take the work of Bickett, Morrison, Hoey, Gardner Daniels, and Maxwell as authority lor the belief that their campaign is better at this stage than ever and that the republican fight has col lapsed. The satisfaction Is genuine here if the inflexible face of "Churman" Tom Warren is any sort of lndet to his feeling. That functionary has never directed a contest which seems to have given so much satisfaction and so little concern. He la receiving Xrom the outposts notice of Republi can success and setting the majority at 75.000. The poorest observer who has any position of independency can see that the republicans have failed to make use of their sinews of war. The 14 sacks of daily mall with the tax writ ings or Collector J. W. Bailey and Chief Justice Clark have been im pressive, but the republicans have not been able to make any neadway with this classic contribution to their cam paign. They have taken the chief Justice's utterances and perverted them as an attack on the revaluation act and Bailey's attack on revalua tion and made It an asset In the in come tax campaign. With deadly weapons in their hands the republi cans have made use of popguns and It Is pitiful to see one of ihi-m in match with a resourceful democrat. With a record of not ono vote cast against revaluation and a renuncia tion a year and a half late, the re publicans have sinned away their day of grace. But they have been wor.ie off still in the effort to make Judge Clark attack revaluation. His ho:ier has never said a word against reval uation. He has attacked thn tax record of the general assembly In Its tallure to double-tax corporat'on stocks; but the effort to commit th- republican party to such a scheme to taxation with its present or any man agement of tnr party is ludicrous !d democrats. Confusion of Judge Clark's unorthodox tax Ideas with an attack on revaluation has been cleared up by all democratic speak ers, who seriously ask the republi cans If they ever stood or ever mean to stand for such a tax policy as Judge Clark champions. Then Bailey has well-nigh broken the republican heart. His attacks on revaluation were made before the legislature finished Its work and Bai ley admits that the session wonder fully strengthened the party's posi tions as if that Is what it met lo do. But Bailey has ceased to be the con jure word among the republicans. He has Insulted them by printing his opinion of them as unfit to adminis ter the affairs of this state and espe cially the tax question now the para mount Issue. Ills Estimate of Parker Then John J. Parker has proved the prize satisfaction of the demo crats.

(a day known and set apart as cotton day throughout the South certain resolutions were unanimously adopt ed with which the public is more or less familiar. The efforts then and there put forth and the resolutions then passed will avail but little if nothing further is done to put them Into practical execution. It is now generally realized that under present conditions the best way to force cot ton up to 'a reasonable price is to provide the way to make it scarcer and then to convince the public that it will be scarce as a matter of fact. It has been dinned into our ears now for a long time that our economic salvation depends upon the planting of more food crops and less cotton; and. at our cotton day meeting afore mentioned, it was determined that the acreage in cotton for 1921 should be reduced 33 V4 per cent and that HERE'S PLEDGE KAKMKIt.H ARE BEING ASK hi) TO SIGN Thirty-Hire mid Onr-tlilnl per Cent Reduction k American Cotton Association's Plan. To further the American cot ton association's acreago reduc tion campaign, the Union county branch of the association has prepared the following pledge, copies of which are being mailed to the township chairman: "North Carolina, Union county. "To all whom it may come, greeting: In recognition of the importance of pla ning more land in food crops than hereto fore and in order fo combat the boll weevil and Insect pests al ready prevalent, and whereas we consider it to our mutual advan tage to curtail production of cot ton In order to obtain a living price for what Is made, now, therefore, we, the undersigned farmers of Union county.

Parker was hostess to the. members of the Book Club and several other friends Wednesday af ternoon In honor of her house guest. Miss Mabel Cooper of Monroe. The guests had been requested to reore- sent books, and an amusing hour was spent in puzzling out the titles so cleverly represented. Mrs. J. S. Har rell received the prize, a daintily bound volume of verse, which she presented to Miss Cooper, Mrs. Frank Harrell then read a sketch of John Charles McNeil which was followed by a number of humorous selections from this beloved author read by Mrs. ranter.

Over two hundred have registered at the Monroe precincts, and by next week it is believed the registration will exceed four hundred. And who said the negro women would flock to the registration booths?

Mr. Adams will move to Waxhaw, and will prac tice law in addition to editing the paper. In a "personal word-' to the readers of the Enterprise. Mr. Ad ams, in the Wednesday issue, said: The Enterprise has, under the ex cellent management of Mr. Nisbet reached a high standard of efficiency as a county newspaper, and, in ai ming control of It. it is my purpose to increase its value to Its readers la every possible way. I shall make Waxhaw my home, and shall bend my energies to giving the people of the section a live, up-to-date publi cation. For the present. Dr. Burgess will remain with me as assistant ia the news department. "We believe we will have the hearty co-operation of all. If you come into possession of an item of news that you think may interest the readers of the paper, please phone it In, or write it to us at once. We will apreciate your thoughtfulness in do ing this. "The Enterprise has always stood for progress and constructive ideals. and we will endeavor to see to It that it continues to do so." For sixteen years Mr. Nisbet has been connected with th Enterprise In one capacity or the other, and the parting with his old friend was painful. In the same Issue, he made the following announcement: 'with this Issue the Waxhaw En terprise passes Into new hands. I have sold the business, book accounts, good will, etc., to Mr. Hal B. Adams of Monroe. "It is needless to dwell unon the severing of pleasant relations. For sixteen years I have been in some way connected with The Enterprise and have put my best into it.

Judge Thomas A. Jones' outbreak at Ashevllle Saturday nieht in ad dressing a mass meeting of Demo crats largely composed of women. ha stirred Ashevllle as few political utterances (lining the past few vents have. It has been followed by letters of condemnation by republicans and apologies on the part of Jones. In the first place he said among other things lhat he did not "see how any decent southern woman could vote the re publican ticket." To this he seems to stick, although he has qualified it. somewhat by saying that he meant no reflection on southern women, ns he has n sister who is a republican. He called J. J. Britt, editor of the Ashevllle Times, a "low down dema gogue," and said "he wrote editorial lies." The Times today states that Jones apologized to Britt and in a let ter to the morning paper Jones snya ho hurriedly read an editorial which Britt had written about Governor Bickett, in which Jones thought Britt called the states' chief execu tive a demagogue. Today Jones says he misconstrued the editorial, he that mean to call Britt Dockike was lambasting revaulation with Bailey, Bob Doughton was quo ting Bailey on Parker and the mean ing of it was that Parker did not know how to make a republican ar gument after being coached by a democrat who is paatmaster in the art of embarrassing the great dem ocracy. rieawed with Mountain Report There is additional pleasure gath ered from the Sunday story of the Greensboro News, to say nothing or the joy that attended a perusal of the Dally News' "Bunk" editorial . this morning.
