O, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1920. $2.00 PER YEAR CASH Williams Caldwell and Beasley Picked For the All State Team Harrelh of Marshville, Also Made First; English On the. Second Team PROCTOR'S ELEVEN An all-state high school football team has been picked by Knox Proc tor, of the University of North Car olina, former Carolina end, who of ficiated In many ot the high school games this year. Sugestions were brought from high school coaches and aihelctic leaders, and Proctor final, selection is based largely on those re- ports. Proctor himself saw nine out j of 19 gaones played in the elimlna- ( tiou coutests for ttie state cnampiou shi:. His first two teams are as follows: Left end Shelor, of Raleigh. Left tackle HarreU, of Chapel Hill. Left guard Beasley, of Monroe, Center Mclver. of Chapel Hill. Right guard Caldwell, of Monroe. Rigtit tackle Transou, of Greens boro. Right end Williams, of Monroe. Ouarter Shepherd, ot Wilming ton. Left half Merritt. of Chapol Hill. Right half Sparrow, of Chapel Hill. Full Faulkner, of Red Oak. Second team: Lett end Gregson, of Elisabeth City. Left tackle Dixon, of Charlotte. Left Guard Lloyd, of Chapel Hill. Center Blow, o! Klnston. Right guard Taylor, of Greens boro. Right tackle Hughes, of Wil mington. Rlsht end Schuster, of Wilming ton. Quarter English, of Monroe. Left half Edwards, of Red Oak. Right half Griffin, of Goldsboro. Full Melvln, of Rocky 'Mount. In addition Proctor mentions the following players as worthy of con siderable praise: Mallory, of Char lotte, and Jackson, of New Bern, cen ters; Willis, of New Bern, tackle; Cole, of Raeford, and Underwood, of Fayettevllle, quarters; Culbreth. of Raeford, half back, and Jennette, of New Bern, full back. Special attention is called to "the fighting spirit of the Wilmington team which In both the New Bern and Chapel Hill games fought up-hill fights when the game seemed lost. The defensive work ot the Monroe line and the smoothness of the Mon roe backfleld and the Interference of the whole team were the best I have seen since Raleigh's championship team of 1914." lit summing up the ability of the various players, Mr. Proctor said: "The contest for state high school football honors has beon unusually close this year, and with 23 teams en tered fur the finals the tak of se lecting an all-state team Is except ionally difficult. Each coach has been requested to give his opinion of the men deserving consideration, and to the 20 who responded, 1 am great ly indebted for the frankness and fairness with which they recommend ed both their own men and their op ponents. In addition officials have been consulted aud every effort made O to insure the best selectioa possible. Having seen only nine of the l games played, 1 am forced In a large measure to depeud on the informa tion so obtained. First Team For center. Mclver, of Chapel Hill, stands above all other and Is universally recommended for the po sition. His steadiness at passing and offensive work have been a bulwark of strength and would win him a place on any college team in the state. On defense he Is just as strong and his ability to break up forward passes was a big asset to his team. "For guards Caldwell and Eeasley, of Monroe, are two strong men, who wre the backbone of thoir team's de fense. Beaaley frequently threw op ponents for losses; Caldwell punts well and both are aggressive men on the offensive and hard lacklers on the de'enbe. "For left tackle, Hairell, of Chapel Hill, deserves a place for his aggres sive, hard tackling and ability to break up punta. He handled his posi tion well In every game. He Is a bard, consistent player, first down the field on punts, and he rarely .misses his tackle. "For right tackle. Trauson, of Greensboro, for his consistent ability on the defense to slse up the oppo nents play and take advantage of It. For right end, Williams, of Mon roe, a hard, sure tackier and brainy player. A powor on the defense, he receives passes well, cover punts good and, weighing 180 pounds, stands as a tower of strength on of fense and defense. For left end. Shelor, of Raleigh, a clear-headed fighter, strong on of fense. He is brilliant on defense and next only to Williams. For quarter back, Shcppherd, cf Wilmington, a brainy player, fast and agressive In open field work, the i. ..li.,,,,- rr hm I pa in. he stands out aboe all others for this position. His aliiltlv to pasi. run ana kick nmnrs him an especially valuable man to any team. And as a field general I've wi no superior.

Bailey Says Registered Live Stock Would Bring Buyers Here on Ev. rry Train. Union county farmers will have the opportunity to hear Mr. L. P. Bailey, one of Ohio's most noted dai rymen, at the court house here Thurs day morning at 10 o'clock. Mr. Bailey, who la one of the pioneer live stock men in this country, will tell how his wife started him in the dairy business, and how they built up a herd of pure dairy cows. In a letter to Mr. T. J, W. Broom, the county demonstrator, Mr. Bailey says that when he started out In life there was not a registered dairy cow in bis section, but that now buyers are coming to his county from all over the country in search ot belter cattle. Mr. Bailey also made the assertion that If two hundred farmers In this county went Into the business of breeding registered cattle and kept good bulls up to a high standard of production that every train that runs through the county will carry a buyer. Mr. Broom says that he wants every farmer In Union county to hear Mr. Bailey so as to get a vision of the possibilities of livestock production. 1 especially," said Mr. Broom, "want the young farmers and young men that expect to be farmers to hear Mr. Bailey. Bring your Wife and sweetheart with you. as It will help you for them to hear what Mr. Bal iey has to say."

DRGESPARENTSNOTTO "DWELL ON UNPLEASANT THINGS AT THE SGHOOL Miss lUtllff Says One Hears Little of the Many Good Things Ac-complished. Gin Fight Between Messrs J. R. And J. T. Shute Breaks Out Anew NEED OF HIGH SCHOOL SHOWN Marshville.Dec. 13. A few days ago there appeared on the streets of Marshville a colored philosopher, from somewhere In Union county. He went into a store and a friendly mer chant tried to sell him something. But John had become Infected with the "hard times" germ and at once began grumbling and growling about low-priced cotton, tight money, hard times, and on down the list of modern ones. Then the nieichant.who is a bit of a philosopher himself said: "Now look here. John, what are you growling like that for. You've got a good farm and Its paid for. You paid for your fertilizer when you bought it, so you are not in debt. You have made one of the best crops this year you have ever made and have plenty to eat, and all this year's cotton on hand yet. Now where in the mischief Is youV kirk coming John thought for a minute. Then he went off to himself, scratched his wooly top and thought some more. Presently he came back to the mer chant. "Cap. you'se right." he said. " 'Fore de Lawd I ain't got do room to grumble and complain. It's Jes you say I ain't eben felt de hard times a tall; but. cap, It's lack dis. You all I hears odder folks a talking hard times and a howling calamity, 'til I Jes natchally gits ter thinking I'se bit too. It's Jes lak a ole hound dog a waking up in de night and thinking he bears a booger. He 'gins tcr bark and howl. Den annoder dog a little piece fudder on he wake and hear de howling and he goes ter bark ing, too. 'Fore long de next dog Jlne In. Den pretty soon all de dogs in de neighborhood Is a barking and a raisin' sand, and don't but one of 'em know what he's barking at, and most ot d time dat one Is a barking at nothing but something he thought he herd. And dat'a de way we folks is doing, ca'se when we comes right down ter think about :t we alnt hurt much a tall. We Just thinks we's heard a booger. I tell you, cap, I'se gwine ter quit my howling and wait till I'se sho nuff hurt!" The ball game which was sheduled between Churchland and Marshville to be played on the local ground Thursday afternoon had to be post poned on account of weather and roads. However, an Interesting game between the second teams of Wlngate and Marshville took place here Fri day afternoon. The score stood at the finish 13 14 In favor of Marsh ville. The game was close all the "ay through which added greatly to the excitement. A number of town people Including many ladles witness ed the game and rooted lustily. Organize Parent Teacher AnmhIiiIIoii An organization which Marshville has Ions needed that gf a parent teachers association was effected Friday afternoon at the school au ditorium. About twenty-three were present and the following officers were elected: President, Mrs. W. t). Harrell; vice-president, Miss Eunice Watson; secretary, Mrs. E. E. Marsh; chairman of membership committee, Mrs. B. C. Parker; chairman publicity conimirte, Mrs. J. S. Harrell. Miss Watson who Is a member of the school faculty will be active president of the association during her stay in Marshville, having had wide experi ence In the work. There is consid erable Interest being manifested in the organization which ids fair to colmii.ate In activity and success. Santa Clans came again Satusday afternoon and drew his usual crowd. If there are any children about the county who have a desire to make Santa's acquaintance Just come to Marshville next Saturday afternoon and he will sirely meet you here Mr. and Mrs. Graham Hearon and Mrs. B. C. Griffin spent Saturday In Charlotte. Mr. Beemer Harrell is at home lor a tew days. Mr. A. R. Edwards who has been In a Charlotte hospital for the past seven weeks returred home Friday very much Improved In health. Cotton was bringing sixteen cents here Saturday, which was above the other markets near. Would Sell Some Cotton. Two prominent business men of Marshville were discussing the cotton situation a day or two ago. Said one: "What would you do about the thing anyhow?" "Well," responded the other. "It is an uncertain quan t'ty of course, but I think if I was holding cotton and owed mone;- I would be pretty quick to sell at least a part of the cotton at sixteen cents, as it is bringing here to-day, and pay my debts. That would relievo the financial situation over the country to a great extent, and It Is really nothing but Justice that the cotton holder pay the other fellow what he owes him." Thi.i sounds like sons! ble talk, so we pass it along "to be taken for what It Is worth. "What do you think?" said a lady we met the otner day. "Two colored women came to me In one day last week, asking for a place as cook." "Well, It's an ill wind that blows nobody good, eh? But the irony of the thing Is that now we can get all the cooks we want, It Is suddenly very necessary that we all cut ex penses." And that's a sad, sad truth that we don't care to ponder over. A very interesting meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association was held Monday afternoon in the Chamber of Commerce rooms. The meeting was opened with prayer by Prof. W. F. Stames, and Mrs. A. M. Stack, the president, then turned the meeting over to the program committee, com posed of Miss Ollie Alexander and Mrs. J. Frank Laney. Miss Alexan der said that Mrs. Laney read such a beautiful tribute to teachers at the previous meeting that she would re spond with a tribute to mothers, which she did In a fitting manner. A very pleasing and attractive pro gram of songs was then rendered by several school children. Following this, the subject, "How Parents Can Improvo the Primary Department." was discussed. Miss Mclntyre. rep resenting the primary department, urged the parents to see that the children were well supplied with pen cils and paper, and the other things that were needed In their work. Miss Iva Ratliff, representing the grammar department, gave a graphic picture of the unadorned and unattractive chapel and school rooms. Suggested needs were maps, pictures, books esecplally reference books window shades, and playground equipment. She said the windows on the sunny side of the building were supplied with shades, but that the others had none. And when using the visual ed ucational equipment, said Miss Rat liff, the. teacher had to go all over the building In search of shades to borrow so the pictures could be shown. She stressed co-operation and urged the parents to see that their children did their home work, and also that they go to school on time. Reports ara sent, she said, to show how the pupils stand in their work,1 and are not sent for criticism. If the pupil Isnt making satisfactory progress teacher and parent alike should talk the matter over and help each other to make the proper cor rections and adjustments. She also suggested that no parties be given during the week, as they demoralized the children and hindered them in their work. "Know your child's need," urged Miss Ratliff. "Also," she continued, 'know your child's teacher. Make her a social call first, and If you have suggestions and criticisms, make them afterwards." One very Im portant thing brought out by Miss liatllff was that if anything happen ed at the school it was advertised all over town, but no mention of the good things was made. She suggest ed that the tables be turned, and ev erybody advertise the good features of the school instead of dwelling up on the unpleasant and unfortunate happenings. Need of High School. Mr. Staines was then heard from on the needs of the high school. He made a plea for the parents to visit the high school, especially during the chapel exercises. Instead of having one chapel, tliey had six as the chap el had to be used for a classroom. Exercises are held in each room, and it was very monotonous. The high school principal also said that he hud been told that the high school stu dents were almost heathen, but he had taught In five schools and had never found a more genteel Ret of boys and gills than we have nere. He urged that we do our best to break up that impression. Out of thirty one in the sen for class, said Mr. Stames twelve made ihe honor roll aud four missed it by less than two points. 'Major J. C. Sikes made a stirring appeal to the women to vote for the school bonds, and Mr. Hawfleld, the superintendent, moved that a steer ing committee be appointed to work at the polls, and to use their i -tomobiles, and telephones to get the people out to vote. 'Mesdames J. F.' Laney, W. C. Crowcll, and Clarence Houston were appointed on this com mittee. Mesdames J. C. Sikes and N. M. Red team were appointed on the program committee for the next meeting. There were twelve parents and six teachers present. Corinth Happenings. Monroe, R. F. D. 5, Dec. 13. Rer. Zeb Caudle preached a very Interest ing and Instructive sermon at Cor inth church last Sunday evening. Mrs. Mattie McCorkle spent sever al days last week with her brother, Mr. H. G. King, at Asheboro, and her son, Mr. Marvin Fowler, at Kannap olls. She tells your correspondent that she enjoyed her visit very much. Mr. H. A. Deese has rented a farm near Matthews from Mr. DeWitt Funderburk, and will move to it some time next week. Mr. T. A. Richardson is also leaving this com munity, having rented a place In Goose Creek township, near Benton's Cross Roads, from Mr. Gus Haigler. Messrs. Prltchard Tucker, Luke Hannah ani Blytne Irby have joined the army, and are stationed some where In Texas. Much small grain Is being sowed in this community. This is the on- j ly hope for the farmer. Sow enough grain to fill your table needs, and also raise enough hens to supply your own meat. And still, baseball would be all , right If It were all right. IT IS BELIEVED BONUS HAVE SAFETY CARRIED At Three 1 M. Over Two Hun. ilml Votes Hail Been Cast Favorable to (lie Issue. At 3:30 p. m. were Indications that the school bonds would carry by a small margin. Over two hundred voles had been cast for the bonds at that hour, and numbers were in the court house aisle awaiting their turn to vote. As the registration was 603, 302 votes are necessary for the bonds to carry. Automo biles are out scouring the town for votes, and it is thought that by sun down the required hun dred votes will have been cast. Monroe women are taking a vital interest in the election, and are doing yeoman service. Sev eral automobiles, driven by some of the most prominent women of the town, were out early this morning hauling in the voters, and If the bonds carry it will be due largely to their Indefatigable labors. WILL RUN DIL STEWART FOR SOME COUNTY OFFICE Coi-reMMiident Says His Political ! View Appeal to Folks Cows in the Cotton Fields, Mineral Springs Route 1, Dec. 13. Miss Margaret Sapp has resigned her position as teacher with the Ker shaw high school and is at home tor the present. A little son ot Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Montgomery died last week and was burled at Bethany church. Dr. Stewart a school ideas may be wrong, but his opinions on politics and office holding appeal to the pub lic so well that he is going to be ask ed to run for some office in the next election. Several citizens have point ed out that some tew offices In the county are being dominated by a few "hangers on," who are looking out for themselves only. Mr. B. C. Hinson, whose leg was broken some time ago, is able to be up and about. Mrs. Dallas Sapp has returned from Cheraw after visiting friends. It's a poor argument that the gin ners are putting up for their ginning fee of $5. If cotton Is the basis for charging, then two dollars Is a plen ty. It Is unjust for the man who pays cash to have to foot the bills of those who have their ginning done on cred it. A trip across Lancaster county re veals the fact that quite a lot of cot ton remains to be picked, and in some places cattle has been turned into the fields, the owners not caring to pick the staple on account of the low price. Donald, the six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Carnes, is seriously ill with pneumonia. The Red Cmss Roll Call. To the Editor of The Journal: The fourth Red Cross roll call is not a drive. It is not a campaign. It is not a effort to raise any spe cific sum. The $1.00 dues of 10.000,000 peo ple for 1921 are payable and this roll call is merely the organized activ ity of collection. The American Red Cross, by Its congressional charter, Is officially designated for the following pur poses : "To furnish volunteer aid to the sick and wounded in time of war, in accordance with t lie treaty of Ge neva; "To act in matters of volunteer re lief and as a medium cf communica tion between the American people and their army and navy; "To continue and carry on a sys tem of national and international re lief In time of peace and to apply the same in mitigating the sufferings caused by pestilence, famine, fire, floods and other great national ca lamities and to devise and carry on measures for preventing the same." Act of Congress, January 5, 1905. The committee is canvassing this week for members. Let every one respond gladly with $1 membership dues. Mrs. J. Frank Laney, County Chairman. McEhoy Reversed On Im portant Case By the Su preme Court WILL SUE FOR $13,000 With the Supreme court's reversal of Judge McElroyfe decision in the case of J. E. Shute vs. J. R. Shute, the gin tight between Messrs. J. T. and J. R. Shute has broken auew, and actions between the two are like ly to consume much ot the time in the future sessions of Superior court. Mr. J. E.. Shute, sou of Mr. J. T. Shute, by virtue of the Supreme court's decision, can becure a hear ing on his damage suit for $13,0o0, w hich is the outgrowth of an injunc tion secured by Mr. J. R. Shute In 191$ to prevent him from erecting a gin near the county jai.j The actual damages claimed is in excess of $4, 000, but under the anti-trust law it is possible to receive a judgment for three times the amount involved, which would be around $13,000, pro vided the allegations of the plaintiff are sustained. The original suit was an action by Mr. J. R. Shute to restrain Mr. J. E. Shute from erecting a gin near the Jail, the plaintiff, Mr. J. R. Shute. al leging the violation ot a contract en tered Into by him and Mr.J.T.Shute. Mr. J. R. Shute gave bond in the sum of $500 to indemnify the defendant in case the Injunction was not dis solved until after the ginning season was over. The fight to make the Injunction permanent was not settled until it reached the Supreme court, where It was held that the contract entered into by Messrs. J. T. and J. R. Shute was not binding, as it was a violation of the anti-trust law. Under the terms of this contract. Mr. J. T. Shute had agreed not to erect a gla this side of the railroad. A contract of this kind, the Supeme court pointed out, was a combination in restraint of trade. After the Injunction was dissolved, suit was. brought by iMr. J. U. Shute for $13,000 damages, three times the amount of the alleged damages that he had suffered because he had been enjoined from erecting his gin. there ford not being permitted to gin and buy seed for the 1918 season. He also contended that Mr. J. R. Shute in applying tor the injunction, was actuated by malice. At the August term the case came up before Judge McElroy, who dis missed the action on the ground that the plaintiff should have set up and recovered damages, if any, in the former suit In which Mr. J. It. Shute gave him bond to indemnify him; and that Messrs. J. T. and J. E. Shute could not maintain an independent action. From this ruling the plain tiff appealed to the Supreme court, which reversed Judf'e McElroy's de cision, holding that the plaintiff is not restricted to his right to recov er damages on the Injunction bond, but may maintain an independent ac tion therefor. The case now stands for trial on the question of damages sustained by reason of the injunction which restrained Mr. J. K. Shute from operating his gin in 1'JIS. TWO LANES CREEK YOLNU MEN HELD Foil FORGERY Says Bread Is Too High. To the Editor of The Journal: Do you think the good old days will ever return when we can buy a full pint ot peanuts for a nickel, or a standard loaf of bread for a dime? When we go to the bakery and buy a loaf of bread, which weighs only a few ounces, and are asked to shell out from 15 to 20 cents, we feel like the bakers are In the same class that some other merchants were, up until a recent date, who had failed to read the papers and be advised that the war prices were no longer In order We feel that the time has come for the bakers to reduce their prices Just as everybody else is having to do, and we hope they will do this at once without pressure from the public. We thank you for this gpace. Consumers. Bny Scout ion nUht guard)- "Hall! Who comes her "Officer of the Da "Advance, Officer of explain wnat you are doing jnighL- here"" y."
