Monroe people have known for many years that the Seaboard con ductors excell their fellow-conductors on other roads In character, stand ing, and personality, and the follow In? comment from the editor of the Methodist Christian Advocate shows that the traveling public holds them In similar esteem: "Time, however, pissed slowly sometimes on the best of trains. This was the case in my journey from Atlanta to Monroe, N. C. So when Dr. J. C.

That ad- drees which he prepared for the his torical societies of the Upper South Carolina and the South Carolina Conferences on "The Historical Bases for a Methodist Theodicy" should have a careful reading In all of our annual conferences. He left us at Chester, and then Conductor Laney, who had a breathing spell, came to my relief. I knew his brilliant broth er at Trinity College In the late 70V Conductor Laney is of a type that does credit to the personnel of any company. He Is a loyal Methodist of Monroe and loves to talk of his church, but especially of his family. In his hopes for those boys and Kills he has Invested some very high ideals which he Is striving to see malertal iied. I was glad to hear him bear so high testimony to the value of prohibition. He has been a conduc tor for thirty yars. He says that prohibition has banished the bulk of the difficulties which he has had as conductor with the traveling public." Mrs. Y. T.

By JAMES MORROW. The Monroe high school foot-ball team will paitlcipate in the second game ot the State high school chsm plouship series Saturday afternoon at three o'clock at Robert's Field. here they will meet Affhevllle high school. Last Tuesday afternoon, on a field better fitted for boat racing than a foot-ball game, and In a down-pour ot rain accompanied by a wind feel ing as if It came from Greenland's icy mountains, the Monroe high school eliminated Salisbury high school In the first game of the series by the score of 10 to 0. The local warriors are continuing their ardent daily practice preparing for . the attack of the Buncombe county mountaineers who will arrive in the city Friday night, and' who have made confident expressions of victory. The Monroe high school team Is in good shape, notwithstanding a few minor injuries, and are eagerly anticipating the sound ot the ref eree's whistle Saturday afternoon when they will enter the game with Just as much confidence to win as Ashevllle will, so the game will prove to be one ot unusual Interest in every particular. The "rooting" and other support from the side lines plays a very Im portant part In assisting a team to accomplish a victory. It instills in the players the assurance that their friends and fellows-citliens are in terested In them and are Just as eager to see them win as they are them selves, and it is earnestly hoped that he citizens of Monroe will bear this In mind and not undervalue its im portance, and show their Interest In the high school and appreciation of their laudable foot-ball record by coming out Saturday afternoon and doing everything they can that will assist our boys to win. fine of fifteen dollars and costs, the evidence convincing the court that the man was merely guilty of a sim ple assault Instead of criminal as sault, as first reports Indicated. An argument over the price the woman charged for her shame, so court of ficials believe, was the cause of the row. The Charlotte woman claimed to have come to Monroe to visit rel atives. Rev. B. B. Shankle will preach at Benton Height next Sunday at four o'clock and at Lee Park at seven.

I I.VLI K S SAFE WAS ltlrl.FI) I1Y IN KNOWN IIIIEF Fifty Per Cent Acreage Reduction Necessary to Avert Financial Disaster; Some Crops That Can Be Made Profitable; School Bonds; Service Men in Court The world's business Is in such a chaotic condition that it is impera tive that Union county farmers, to avoid bankruptcy and its attendant sufferings, reduce their cotton acre age at least fifty per cent next year. This is not merely an editorial opin ion. Facts like these bear out our contention: New England cotton mills are reducing production SO per will not sell the school bonds, in the cent, hundreds ot Southern mills are ; event they carry, below par; nor will ever willing and ready to help you in any way possible. To save the school bonds from an Impending defeat, the city school board should publish a signed state ment to this effect: "We, the members of the Monro, school board, hereby promise that we idle, and few ot those that have not shut down are running over three or four days in the week. And then there was a carry-over of 6,000, OOo bales from last year's crop. A well known mill man, who has devoted a life-time to the study of cotton and textile manufacturing, tells The Jour nal that unless there Is a decided in crease in yarn production by the first ot January there will be a carry-over of at least 9,000,000 bales ot cotton next year almost as much as the total ot this year's crop! With such a condition staring us In the face, would It not be business suicide not to reduce the cotton acreage by at least fifty per cent? Soutuern banks are seeing the handwriting on the wall, and already there Is a movement on foot by a Memphis bank to get bankers to agree not to finance the production ot cot ton next year. Another 13.000.000 bale crop, this bank says, will mean ruin for the South, and It is deter mined to do all it possibly can to pre vent such a calamity. "But," the farmer asks, "what are we going to do? Cotton Is our only money crop. There Is no market for anything else." He is partly correct. Some cotton must be raised, and this paper is not advocating a 100-per cent reduction, although it might be the best for the South If not a bale was produced in 1921. But there are other sources from which the farmer can derive a revenue, and we propose to show them. Figuratively speaking, every Union county farmer should "rest on his oars," or "mark time, as tho saying is in the army. Reduce the cotton acreage fifty per cent, economize on labor and fertilizer, and by all means raise sufficient food tor the family and forage for the stock. 'This done, every farmer should then specialize on some crop like sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, or onions. Mr. Leonard Lathan of Buford township has sold 200 bushels of -weet potatoes this -year, and so i. mi ked has been his success with this ci up that he and his brothers are planning ffie erection of a sweet po iii to slot ace house to enable them to raise more potatoes, and keep them over to the following Rprjng when the lemaml will be greater, and the ftilce tiptter. Other communities should fi.!low their example. A storage house, with a capacity of 500 bushels, can be built for about $200 and slinrlj enoukh fgarmers go into potato raisin t, Mr. T. J. W. Bioom, the crnnty demonstrator, believes he 'nn dispose ol the yields in car load lots at attractive prices. Catawba county farmers have been sliipplng sweet potatoes at attractive prices to northern markets every spring for many years, he says. Mr. M. A. Broom of Monroe town ship has been selling around $400 worth of sweet potatoes every year, and he has found It a very profitable business. He has been supplying the local trade at prices very much under those received In the northren mark ets. Mr. Broom, as well as Mr. La than, v e are sure, will Join a co-operative marketing venture such as we have outlined, and there are doubt lesi scores of others. Hundreds ot farmers could pay their taxes with an eighth of an acre In onions. Bushels and bushels of on ions are shipped Into Monroe every year, and after local demand is filled, the rest of the crop could be disposed of In neighboring localities like Cha" lotte, Gastonla and Concord. Mr. T. J. W. Broom believes that every far mer lit the county could "pick-up" $50 In this way. Another possible source of revenue is In fall Irish potatoes. Mr. R. V. Lockhart made this year 86 bushels of Irish potatoes, which he Is selling Pt $2 a bushel, off a little over a quar ter of an acre. Good land, properly fertilized and cultivated, with an av erage season, we are Informed, will produce from 150 to 200 bushels of potatoes to the acre. Shipment of car load lots to other points would be a comparatively easy matter, and far mers who are tired of beln oppress ed by Kink Cotton should no over look the production of potato as an avenue of escape. Proper cultivation of the soil, however. Is essential, and before going Into the potato raisin; the' farmer should consult Mr. Broom, who Is Informed as to the niDBt Improved methods. By all r.iea.19 rave $200,000. the amount spent last year for forage, by rat.dnz a sufficient amount of hay. note, grain and other feeds: and talk over your problems with Mr. Broom. He Is our farm demonstrator, and is Do you remember the tims when the telephone was a convenience T we let the contract for the construc tion ot the high school building un til w are convinced that labor and materials) already declining, have reached their lowest level; nor will we expend any more of this Issue than is absolutely necessary to con struct a modern building." Such a reassuring statement from the school board, which Is composed of men ot the blghest character. would rout much of the opposition that has arose against the bonds, at it all has developed from the belief that unw is not the time to build. During the war Judges gave sus pended sentences to erring young men convicted in their courts pro vided they entered the army, and many of the Governors issued par dons to scores ot men serving time In the Jails and penitentiaries on the same condition. But how different It la now! A Northern Judge sen tences to the penitentiary an ex- service man with five wound stripes to his credit, and here in North Caro lina Judge B. F. Long has sentenced C. C. Hamby. ot Black Mountain, who was wounded and gassed in sev eral engagements while fighting with the famous Second division, to five months on the roads. Transporting liquor was the charge against young Hamby, and although there was no doubt as to his guilt. It seems that Justice, In view of the defendants fine war record, might have been satisfied with a fine; especially so when we consider that hundreds of boot-legger and moonshiners, who hardly knew there was a war on, have been spared Jail and road sen tences within the past few months.

The world, in a large measure, la blind do what the future holds in store, but that class of inci, In the olden times, commonly designated as seers, were naturally as blind as their compatri ots, but the Lord, for the purpose of diseasing the part of the future to a benighted race, put his finger as it were underneath their eyes and op ened them up so that they might take a peep at what was in store. But the work of the seer is now a closed book. Politically speaking, the people of the Suited States, and especially those of t lie good old commonwealth of North Carolina, are not only seeking but praying f.r a little knowledge ot the future. But it seems, however, that this longing Is to be gratified by the brilliant Washington correspondent of the Charlotte Observer, tio-wit, Mr. H. E. C. Bryant, alias "lied Buck." While we feel pure that the Lord has not touclui! Ills ee with an opening touch, as he did the eyes of the seers of eld, we are ceitain, however, that the President-elect, Mr. Harding, has presented himself, scroll In hand, and touched his eye, and not only exhibit ed to him the functionaries of the on coming regime, but has actually dis closed to him the fiscal, the economic and the diplomatic policies of his ad ministration. How else could It be, since he writes so knowingly upon tonics w hich are moot questions to others who have not been so highly favored as he. However. Mr. Bryant errs In his as sumption that Hon. J. J. Parker, the Republican aspirant for Governor, would accept the district attorney- shin. Nothing could be more rldicu ions. Mr. Parker, from a monetary standpoint.

Mr. Rotter, However, Doesn't Relieve It Duty of Church to Provide Itec ' reatUiu. " To tho Editor of Tho Journal: Allow mo to say that I read with much interest and considerable ap proval the Judicious and excellent ar ticle, "Drinking on Armistice Day," in your paper last Tuesday. I believe that "Observer" Is right when he argues that In the case of the drinker on festive occasions the trouble Is that his social instinct has been neg lected or crowded out or repressed fof lack of means for expression till it bursts out !n an emphatic but un wise way, the quickest way he knows. but that his sociability is uppermost. I, too, cannot believe that it is the raw lust of the flesh to make ones sell a disgust ing and degraded and demoralizing demon in man's Image and so distorting the likeness of God into Satan s Impish stamp that it li the actual desire of any human being for wallowing in the filth that makes the drunk. That the craving for re laxation is tho real motive iu most casts of spree, and orten the cause of the initial steps of even the con firmed Sot, is. I am confident, al most beyond dispute. "Ohaerver'' reminds us that play Is one of the primary instincts or the hsman heart, not only of the heart of youth but ot all. Then he asks. "What do we do to satisfy this iasiinct?" He evidently considers it to be a community problem to "pro vide some sort of recreation, or play, or relaxation for all the people. And truly this is one ot the crying needs of the age that Is being recognized more and more. But "Observer" seems to think that it Is primarily tho duty of the churches to provide this kind of rec reation. With this I can agree only to some extent. The church has a special and definite sphere of exist ence and work. It mtut be, If It ful (11 Is its foundation, tho spiritual dy namo that Inspires Its members to bettor living and better labor. Un less a church Is large enough and wealthy enough to employ super visors and directors competent to handle entertainment enterprises, it Is liable to fall in its fundamental purposes If it attempts to provide rec reational exercises for Its people also. I think I may say. however, that the inspiration toward providing com munity relaxation for all the people should come from the proper teach ing of the church. Church members should by all rights be the ones to perceive the necessity for play to keep the people In normal, healthy condition. There Is how the power of the church can be felt In the com munity, so far as this matter is concerned. It Is unquestionably the bottndeti duty and should be the proud priv ilege of every comrrftinity to provide for Its folks some sort of suitable place, both within and without build ing enclosure, where the people can congregate and exercise themselves throue'i every God-given faculty to ward the attainment of the best fttul finest of which they art severally ra;ui!?.

If there is any news going ou in town, we have failed to run it down, even though we did our best. The weather is ail anybody has time or Inclina tion to talk about these days any way. First the dust was so horribly bad that everyone lost all self-respect as to personal appearance, and all Interest in everything, even to the price of cotton, and began speculat ing as to whether we could make it until rain came. We did; and Tues day the rain came; floods of it. Then we found ourselves In another meat mud! sticky, miry, ooxy, splashy mud. We have mentioned before that the highway workers have Just passed through town building us a nice road. The rain came whou the road was at the right stage to add water and make mud pies. Its condi tion now daunts even a Ford. One poor Ford had the misfortune to run out ot gas Tuesday right In the stick iest part of the road and alas stuck fast. When help arrived in the shape of another Ford, it too stuck up hard and tight. There they both stuck and spluttered and spit gas and smoke and rot red and swore fright fully, while tnelr wrathful drivers and a few svmuathizers who had gathered meantime, splashed and floundered In shoe-top deep mud and a pouring rain, and tried every way under the sun to get the dratted things out. And the worst part, not a man of them had a wife along to blame It on. Imagine how sweet tempered they were! Well, it sud denly occurred to them about the time the situation began to look hopeless, that being Fords why not pick them up and sit them out whore they could travel, which they did. Then everything was lovely once more. But some day soon we are going tc have a roai that will not set such sticky, deadly traps for every unsuspecting little Ford that conies along. The rain Just caught It this time before It was ready. It news was as plentiful and easy to get these days as whiskey we would Mart up a newspaper or two at nnce. Now Just wait one minute! We are not going to deliver a tem perance lecture; we are not even go lug to say what our opinion Is Of the nnsty things that make it and drink it, for, as one of our towns men Is fond of saying: "We do not use such language." But if there Is anything to "Observer's" theory that the social Instinct In man is partly to blame for so much drinking on gala occasions, and other times as well, then all we hove to say is that ii. is ia Keiiiug ii oe me most social, neck of the woods we have struck in a long, long tini".
