Many were turned away, this crowd emphasizing the inade quacies of Monroe's sole auditorium, the court house. The meeting was presided over by Mr. C. S. Lee. Jr.. chairman of the county democratic executive committee, and he, in a fow apt remarks expressed the appre ciation of the committee to Mrs. Dan iels, and Introduced Mr. B. C. Ash craft. 'Mr. Ashrraft, In his usual humor ous style made a short address pre liminary to the Introduction of the speaker in order, as he expressed It, to weary the audience tliat Mrs. Dan iels might have rest. In conclusion he stated that hereafter Secretary Daniels would be known as the hus band of Mrs. Daniels, Instead of Ylce versa. Mr j. Daniel Is completing a tour of western North Carolina, speaking In seven counties In 41 hours. She Is a speaker of great charm and force, possessing a pleasant voice. In the boglnning she stated that she was proud to be called a North Carollnl and and proud to be the wife of Sec retary Daniels, as he had long been an ardent believer In suffrage. "The men," said Mrs. Daniels, "like to apeak of us as angels. They say we are angels because we always have somthing to harp on, always lonk up in the air, and never have anything to wear. We are certain to harp and we must hitch our aspira tions to the stars and must always look tho betit we ran so that they will always want us. The 25 million newly enfranchised voters are useless unless they do hitch their political aspirations to the stars and keep their ideals up to a high standard." Mrs. Daniels dellKhted the women In her audience with her statement that "men ar not good sports." "They refused to give us the ballot before the primaries, so we are to vote on their ticket. But, contrary to their idea that we know nothing of party organization, we will . show them that we can be sports and ran take the pill straight. If some of jou do not like this ticket, vote for It Just the same In preference to some thing worse. Let us remember that we will be In the next primary." The first of. the Improvements for which women will stand for Is better schools. Fornerly we could say 'South Carolina lies to the south of vn, Virginia lies to the north of lis ana they both lie about us." This Is no longer necessary, for we have so elevated ourselves along educational lines that outsiders prick up their ears when North Carolina is spoken of. Other things for which women will stand arc equal pay for equal ser vice, old age pensions and care for motherhood. Mrs. Daniels stated that she was a Presbyterian and as such firmly believed that Woodrow Wilson was raided to lead our coun try through the past eight years of strife; that the ballot was withheld from the women until this critical time because they would see more Clearly the moral Issues at stake. Chief of these issues is the league of nations. Viscount Orcjr, the great Englishman, was quoted as saying that the world war could have been prevented had even a small part of the league been in force. Under the rules of the league any country be longing to the league must arbitrate before declaring wit on another country. The troubles will thru be taken before a council, and after that must come In a period of nine months wait, or time for the matter to cool. If arbitration fails the controversy is then given publicity and modern di plomacy will not be tinged with du plicity if this rule of the league Is ad hered to. Mrs. Daniels recently attended the youth, who, dying on a Trench bat tlefield niurmered 'Lord Jesus, Mils is uiy body broken for thee.' We must have a general at the Dead ot our foice who will see that we have a league. "The marines at Chateau-Thierry. as they received the unexpected or der to advance stopped to pick rea poppies and placed them In their hats. As they advanced the popples waved like bright red plumes. That, is a challenge to us that we charge wlth heads held high carrying aloft our colors. Every woman who votes for the democratic nominees will re alize that she la keeping her word to some man. 1 am going to keep straight, and you can't vote unless you register.' Mrs. Daniels stated that in all tne counties she had visited the women were registering splendidly. Both registrar for Monroe precincts were present and at the close of the ad dress a number of women took ad vantage of their pretence and were sworn in.

The Marshville la'les have been conung to the front on the register ing proposition. Up to date one hun dred and fifteen ladles have registered. All the talk about town now seems to concern the price of rpiton and conditions of the financial world in general. Being a woman and having been a citizen but a short time, we have no pearls of wisdom to offer upon the subject. But when people begin to get panicky over the price of cotton, the crops, the world in general and finance In particular, and the long faces begin to appear, and the pessimists to croak by the way speaking. ot pessimists, have 'you heard Irvin Cobb's definition of one? Listen! "Pest a commpn nuisance; Brother Shoots Brother in a Quarrel Near Mineral Springs One Brother, Feeling 111, Wanted to Return Home; An other of the Four Wished to Proceed to Monroe; Then the Shooting Began; Injuries Serious Noah Robinson, of Lancaster coun- i ty, was ehot and probably fatally in-jKU KLU.V KUAN" HIDFHS ARE lured on the Lancaster road near' ; sEKX IX PEE DEE SECTION' Mineral Springs by his brother, Lu- , cius Robinson, this, morning about At Their Suggestion Farmers Out 10 o'clock. He was shot three times. one bullet passing through his left lung. One shot glanced his ear, and the other struck his wrist. The Injured man is receiving treat ment at the boarding bouse ot Mrs. Sudle Howie, on Main street, while his brother, who fired the shots, is at large. According to meager reports avail able at this time, the wounded man, In company with three brothers, Lu cius Robinson, John Robinson and Fred Robinson, waa on his way In an automobile to Monroe when Fred Robinson, complaining of being ill. requested that they turn back. An argument ensued, Noah trying to prevail upon the driver, John Rob inson, to heed the wishes of the aicT brother, while Lucius demanded that the cap proceed to Monroe, their orig inal destination. Whether tin exchange of blows took place could not be learned, but officers, who went to the scene, were told that Lucius whipped out his pistol and began firing at Noah. An other brother, It was reported, car ried a pistol; but no one could say that he fired any of the shots. After "Noah fell wounded, the quarrelling of the brothers ceased. They 11 ted the stricken man Into the car and carried him to the home of a negro, who lived close by.l They left him there, telling the negro that they were going after a doctor. Parties near the scene got in com munication with Sheriff Griffith, and Deputies Paul Griffith and Clifford Fowler were dispatched to the scene. The grand Jury, which was about to conclude Its work, was requested to stay in sest-lon until the shooting af fair could be investigated. Officers Fowler and Griffith brought the wounded man to Monroe, and he will probably be taken to Charlotte tonight. His wounds are described as being serious. Sheriff Hunter of Lancaster coun ty was told of the occurrence and In structed to arrest the three Robin son brothers. 4 Later. Since the above was written. The Journal learns that Robinson's wounds are not bo serious as first thought. A more thorough exami nation revealed that the shot, in stead of penetrating the lung, struck a rib, and passed around the side. ThJ doctors say he will recover. STII.L KKLIKVKS HE WILL ET 10 BALES OFF 3 ACRES Prica for Cotton Picking a"'1 Nrgroe Go to Work. White caps, two hundred strong. with horses and riders clad in the Ku Klux Klan gard, rode into Lake City, South Carolina, last Thursday night and as a result the cotton fields next day were thick with cotton pick ers and the housewives of Lake City have all the help in the way of cooks and washerwomen they desire. Farm er now see a way out of toe ruin Which faced them by a deterloratioh of cotton turning blue in th fields for the lack of pickers. The white cap appeared In the town of Lake City about one o'clock last Thurs day night. First they called on some farmers who had been paying as much as a dollar and a half a hun dred pounds for picking cotton and suggested to them that this waa too muck. The price fell to a dollar In a twinkling. Then the cavalcade pro ceeded to the negro section and threw out several hints to the effect that more work and less loafing among the negroes of that section would perhaps be a good thing. Hence the new hordes of pickers and the -multitude of cooks and washers today. Mayor W. H. Whitehead was also visited. It was then about two o'clock In the mornlug. The mayor came to his door and was told thaj he should enforce the vagrancy laws more vigorously. Mayor Whitehead responded by declaring that he had attempted to enforce these laws but his efforts had been met with severe criticism from tome quarters, and that to make the laws more effective he must have the undivided support of the community. From the looks of things last night the mayor la sure ot this support inthe future. The white caps went about their business calmly and quietly. There waa.no evidence of any Intention to offef Violence to any of the many per sons visited, but they meant business just the same. WANT TRAFFIC OFFICER OX LANCASTER AVENUE mistan atmospheric opaqueness In- International Suffrage Convention in terfering with and distorting vision. f.n.i SKiizprtand as a delegate Hen pessimist a common nuisance from the United States. She was ap pointed by the President, so she said, because she was a "broad, all round woman," an 1 asked that the audience Judge as to whether she complied with these requisites. Thirty - five nations, large and small, were repre sented at this convention and the question most frequently asked was "Why doe3 tho United States not sign the league and bring peace to us?" "It was quite hard," said Mrs. Dani els, "to exijil tin that It was not the United SJates withholding the peace, but the republican senate of the United States." . "Our honor Is at stake," she con tinued, "and in addition there Is the mnterlal side to peace. In a world wlthcut the league we should have to be better prepared, have a better navy and army. Our experience In the war has taught us how many bonds and stamps this would require. x)n the other hand, our cotton and to bacco would find readier foreign markets if business had been stabal ized by peace. "Will you keep straight!" was the question asked of the boys as they left for France, and It cornea back to us today In more prosaic form are you going to vote for Cox? "We must " said Mrs. Daniels. "If we remain true to the 7,000.000 boyi who sees things through a fog." But what we started to say was when folks begin to get blue over things they can't help, like low cotton, pol itics and things, we like then to re call extracts of Riley's poem, "Wet Weather Talk.'- He says, you know ".Men glnerly, to all Intents Although they're apt to grumblo some Puts moit thy trust In Providence, And takes things as they come " And summing up his cheerful philosophy ho wiselyconcludes: "It hain't no use to grumble and complain It Jest as cheap and easy to rejoice When God sorts out the weather and sends rain Why rains my choice." We have not accused the Lord of sending tfee low cotton and other evils: He seems to have done His. duty in sending a good crop ot cot ton, but be may not have had any thing to do with the other. That might be politics to blame or It might not be. But anyhow the long faces are not helping matters a bit. Then too we're all In the. same boat, so If misery loves company, cheer up!! LIna C.

Mecklenburg's Cliiiniplon Fiymer, However, Won't (ei Two llun.li-ed Bushels of Corn to Acre, (From the Charlotte Review.) Mr. W. R. Boyd, Mecklenburg coumy'a chumpion corn and cotton grower about whom an article ap peared in The Review a few weeks aL;o, says he is being beselged by fanners from throughout this sec tion who wsh to hear the particu lars about his auethod or farming or to see the crop he has planted. Week before last County Agent R. W. Craeber, of Iredell county, form erly, of Mecklenburg, brought down a delegation of thirty-two farmers from that county 'to see Mr. Boyd's field. iMany other farmers and city men interested In farming have been out to the farm of this man to dee If what The Review" said about his chances for a "bumper crop" was truthful. Mr. Boyd will not get two hundred bushels to the acre on corn this year, he fears. The weather proved un favorable for his corn sometiitie back and" other handicaps have caused him to reduce his estimate on the produc tion to a hundred and seventy-five or more bushels to the acre. He Is still persistent in his claim that he will get ten bales ot cotton on three acres of land. He's arrang ing -for a big time when he gets ready to pick his cotton. A-little negro residing In his neighborhood who holds records In the cotton-picking line similar to thos held by Mr. Boyd In the corn and cotton raisin.; line, has agreed to attept to pick five hundred pounds of cotton In one day. Two friends of the little negro are going to pick with him and in the event ho picks five hundred pounds these two friends have agreed to give him their earnings for the day. nd they are good cotton pickers, too. OUr. Boyd says he believes the negro can do this. He Is gfing to pay "big money" on this drfy and someone la going to get a good day' wages for picking cotton, he said. The cotton and corn on Mr. Boyd's place "look good" now. Although cotton la selling at a low price he expects to make good money on his cotton because he anticipates raising ten bales as cheaply as most farm ers raise two bales.

Begin at 7 p. m. Mrs. Griffin Urge the KegiHtrr. To the Editor ot The Journal: Having been requested to give my views upon the leading questions confronting the women of North Car olina. I shall do so with all candor aud frankness In a subsequent com munication. First, I wish to say that I was not a suffragist. Not that I believed women incompetent to vote intelligently, but believing her great est sphere is in the home, aud when this sphere Is wisely occupied all is well in the state and nation. But this fact does not excuse us from going to the ballot box November 2 and casting our votes. Remember your opponent will vote. The right to vote Is not only a privilege but an obligation and he or she who refuses to vote has no right to whine at con sequences. iVather pity an elector who fails to see the necessity of vot ing at any and all elections. It is a duty. It is a privilege that costs tor rents of human blood. 'Men died for the right of suffrage. If you fail to vote you do riot properly appreciate It As civilization advances the spir it of democracy grows and today we women have been made political part ners with men. It matters not whether It was our choice. It la our duty. Shall we respond nobly? I appeal to the women to register. If you do not you may regret it. I have done many things that were not In viting, but duty compelled me. So I shall do my bit at the ballot box for the gdod of our country as I see It. Don't fall to register. Sat urday Is your last chance. Great Is sues are at stake. In peace aud war we have donewut bit. The greatest battles are the battles of ballots. No bloodshed. Just a clash of Intellects. Prepare for the fray. Put your name on the list. Don't be a slacker. Mrs. B. H. Griffin, Marshville, N, C.

Some of these chll dren are on roller skates out in the street, other are playing about over the sidewalks and street.

Drivers of these cars frequent ly Ignore all speed limit regulations. Thiii creates a situation dangerous In the extreme, and it is only kindness of fate that protects the children from serious Injury on account of automobile traffic. "The purpose of this letter-Is to ask you to detail one of your men to patrol this street during the hours named eight to nine in the morning and two to three in the afternoon for the better regulation of traffic and the protection of the several hundred children on their way to and from school, "Thanking you for your attention to this matter, I am yours very truly, G.

Atlanta, October 19. norn a slave, and now reputed to be one of the wealthiest and most respected negroes in the South, David T. Ho waid, seventy-one, to-day celebrated his golden wedding anniversary and made It the occasion to give koine ad vice to members of his race. Beginning on a legacy of lone hun dred and fifty dollars, left by his former master, Howard now owns a business rated as the fourth largest of its kind in the city, and financial Institutions readily make loans on his ame. "I never wasted time, never went In for wild oats, never saw a base ball game and never danced a step but always attended to my busi ness," said Howard. "No social equality for me; no sane thinking negro want! It." The negro to-day, Howard said wants better Justice In courts, bet ter accomodations on railroad trains and more schools for his children. Ordered to Sell lOO.IMMI Bushels, He Disponed or l,((M,(MKI Bushels on Paper, and Creates Stir. (From the Atlanta Georgian.) . An Inexperienced clerk In a grain gambling firm .made a mistake. Or dered to sell 100,000 bushels of wheat, which, by the way, he and his employer did not have, he sold a mil lion bushels- and knocked the price down to a point that disturbed farm ers and probably injured the country by checking planting winter wheat. Nine hundred thousand bushels were bought back and the price went up again? Do you call a nation lutellige: that permits such juggling with life'ls necessities? In France all concerned would go to prison at hard labor; they don't permit gambling in life's necessities. A Frenchman discovers a seruiu that stimulates the blood to fight against gangrene lu the vermiform appendix. Serious doctors believe that the serum will take place i the kntre in appendicitis. Fashions In surgery change almost as frequently as fashions in women's hats. There is one serum made up of ex ercises in moderation, fresh air with ozone in It, sound, regular sleep and temperate life. That serum will cure almost anything, but you cafn not buy It. You must make It your self. Nearly Hit ten by Tarantula. (From tho Greenville Piedmont.) J. Woodfln Mitchell, a local photo grapher, says that never again will he give his baby a cigar box to play- wlth. Saturday Mr. ..Mitchell stopped at a fruit stand and asked for a cigar box for his baby. The man gave him tho box, and when he got home Mr. Mitchell tossed the box to his two- your-old baby girl and passed on t next room. In a moment he heard a frightened cry from the child and rushed Into the room to find half- grown tarantula, advancing on th baby with hissing sounds. Mr. Mit chell stomped the Insect to death just In time to prevent it from biting the baby. According to Mr. Mitchell, the tar antula was fully as large as an egg and is very dangerous because of its poisonous bite. The theory advanced by Mr. Mitchell is that the tarantula which Is a tropical insect, came to Greenville In a bunch of bnnana from Central America and crawled Into the cigar box to hide. "Too many silk shirts and too' come to him. much good time," he said, wore the causea of racial unrest. Beware the Republican Tax. (From the Charlotte Observer.) In his speech at Durham, Senator Simmons gave the people another thing to think about besides the cer tain killing of the Federal Reserve System by the Republicans, In cane Harding should be elected. They are planning to take the "teeth", out of the income tax, substituting for it gross sales tax, and this would take the burden from the shoulders of the wealthy those who are able to bear II where it was placed by the Dem ocrats, and put It back on the shout dors of the salary and wage earners. where It had been kept by the Repub licans. The thousands of working people In North Carolina who now enjoy tax exemption for $300 In per sonal property and who pay nothing but poll tax, would find themselves once more taxed as under the form er oppressive system and every ran ticket would deserve what had Texaj Red Rust Proof Seed Oats 90 cents per bushel at the Co-Opera-tlve Mercantile Co.

It Is to be regretted that Mrs. Laney is no longer guarding the health of the people in this section. We folks in the country had a real interest in her work. We felt that the food we ate in the restaurants was cleaner by .reason of her super vision. The streets were kept clean; and several times we heard her mak ing simple suggestions to mercantile and grocery men that meant sanita tion for us, and we believe we are right in the assertion that her dis missal is the county's toss. Mr. B. C. Hinson has an unuaual freak In the line of cats.. The moth er of four kittens died the other day, and another cat, about two year old, that had never had kittens, promptly took charge of the orphaned kittens, and is rearing them. Quite a number of South Carolina folks are talking of having the state line changed ao that they can get the benefit of North Carolina's cheap taxes. They say that $1.85 poll tat looks good beside S. 75 which U paid here. While the revaluation act Is not very well understood they say they need It there. There Is a bunch ot us down here In Bnford who would like to know what kind of system of taxation thkt John J. Parker would urge. The present system Is about perfect, in our opinion. Rev. Mr. Johnson preached his last regular sermon at Prospect Sunday night.

Zero Peck bought a bushel of paw paws last week for his wife to make preserves.
