On Monday, Aug. 7th, at 2 o'clock p. m. the membership drive will be opened in dead earnest in Union coun ty by the North Carolina division of the Cotton Growers Cooperative Mar keting Association. Mr. J. A. Evans, of the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., will address a great mass meeting in the court house in Monroe at that time on the subject of boll weevil eradication and the cooperative marketing of cot ton. Hundreds of farmers and business men from all over the county are ex pected to attend this meeting, which will be the first of a series of meet ings of the kind. Some time within the next two weeks, at a date to be announced later, the Hon. O. Max Gardner, ex-lieutenant governor of North Carolina and candidate for gov ernor in the last campaign, will make an address to citizens of the county in the court house on the subject of cooperative marketing. Everything Ready for Drive Mr. E. W. Gilliam, representative of the Cotton Marketing Association, has been in the county for several weeks making a survey of the cot ton acreage and getting things in shape for the big drive. Several hun- lred progressive farmers of the coun- y nave already signed, tne pledge o market their cotton through the association in a systematic way, and it is thought that at least seventy-five per cent of the cotton produced in Union county will be marketed through the association next fall.

A. Covington, was introduced and accorded the priv ileges of the bar by Judge B. F. Long. Miss Covington was intro duced by Mr. John J. Parker and it was immediately moved that, since she is a graduate of George Wash ington law school, having received her diploma in June, ahe be grant ed the privileges of the bar, which was immediately done. Judge Long, in greeting Miss Covington, referred to her father as his dear old friend and one of the most able lawyers that ever practiced in North Carolina. Miss Covington responded in a few well-chosen words and in a most pleasing and impressive manner. The late D. A. Covington, father of Miss Covington, was recognized by the entire bar of the state as one of its most able lawyers, and his daughter who has chosen the law profession is a wry intelligent woman and will doubtless make good in the profession. Miss Cov ington has not announced where she intends locating. SOME DOG-GONE GOOD NEWS FROM NEAR BRIEF Raising Pups for the Market, Weevil Menace Growing Less Did Buck" Beats Brief Brief, August 3.

The estimate of acreage of the crop reporting board, issued July 3rd which was 34,852.000 acres, related to cotton in cultivation on July 25th after practically all of the indicated abandonment had taken place, the de partment's statement said. Condition in Union County The latest condition of the crop in Union county is reported at 77 per cent of a full crop with the state averaging 78 per cent or a crop of 849,000 bales, this being about 7 per cent of the south's forecasted produc tion. Last year, the cotton conditions were very poor to begin with but the late summer and fall were unusually favorable, with a large reduction in acreage. North Carolina perhaps made her largest per acre yield and that with reduced fertilizer. Thia year the wet weather has done considerable damage in the eastern counties, and the bolLweevil along the south border is destined to receive full recognition from now until Oc tober. Thia year'a 13 per cent increase in this state's cotton , (1,601,000 acres) brings the total area almost back to the 1920 large crop. A month ago we had an average condition of the belt North Carolina ranks first as the largest user per acre of cotton Ur. tilizera 406 lbs. and of the pi.c.i ae of the acreage fertilized 95 per cent( STANLY COUNTY FARMERS BAKPIJUSINESS MEN Break Down the Barrier or Imagi . nary Line and Band Themselves . Together for Good Time BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL MEN PARTICIPATE IN FEAST t Ten Leading Farmers from Each of the TowBshina. Assisted hv Farm Demonstrator, Made the Occasion Possible .Movement Put On Foot for tae Establishment of a Coopers live Creamery. (From Stanly News-Herald. 1st.) The farmers of Stanly County seem determined to break down the barriers betweea the interests of the busi ness men, and others who reside in the towns, and the rural dwellers. At least there are around 100 of them intent upon such a conquest. These have opened their eyes to the advantages to come through a better understanding, and a closer coopera tion- between the farmers and busi ness men. This was clearly evidenced by the big banquet which about 100 Stanly farmers gave at Millingport last Friday evening to the business and professional men of Albemarle, Norwood and other towns of the coun tv. Ten leading farmers from each of the townships of the county, with the assistance of our industrious farm agent, took part in getting up this great occasion, which is something new. in North Carolina, so far as the News-Herald has been able to learn. The' supper was served in the large auditorium of the Millingport school, and that building having been fur nished with all conveniences to be had in city school buildings, including electric lights, a beautiful building to behold, one could imagine he was feasting in a great auditorium in one of our larger towns. In addition to the 100 or more farmers who were present as hosts about fifty or seventy-five of Albe marle a leading business and profes sional men, including the members of the Lion's Club, were present to enjoy the very interesting occasion. Also there were a number 01 busi ness men from Norwood and other towns of the county. Mr. Phillips acted as toastmaster, and he made a good one, too, prov ing that he knows other things than how to fight boll weevils, cut worms and other farm pests. Large Attendance Almost every foot of space in the large room was used for the placing of the half dozen or more long tables and hundreds of chairs, and when the crowd of around 200 were seated, there remained but little vacant room. As the large conglomeration of farm ers, bankers, lawyers, doctors, news paper men, ministers, merchants, manufacturers, teachers, and finan ciers stood around tne taoies, tne toastmaster called upon the Rev. D. B. Green, pastor of the Albemarle Presbyterian church, who offered a beautiful prayer invoking divine blessings upon the meeting, and all those assembled. Mr. D. S. Lippard, of Millingport, then extended a hearty welcome to the banqueters on behalf of the Millingport community. Mr. Linpard took" occasion to boost his community as "one of the very best in the country, and his statements were not exaggerated. Mr. M. L. James of Oakboro, was next called upon to give the welcome address on behalf of the farmers, and he did this with a few words, well chosen, and with a sp:nt of eanii'.-tness that sounded real, hon-est-to-goodness welcome. Mayor O. J. Sike. of Albemarle responded el oquently to the address of welcome made by Messrs. Lippard and James. He stated among other things that Millingport and its surrounding ter ritory had set an example of prog ress for every other section of the county, commending the people upon the very excellent school build ing, and upon the good cnurcnes anu roads of the community. Col. G. D. B. Reynolds made a short, snappy talk, filled with his usual wit and humor. A. C. Kimery of Raleigh, spoke upon the great advantages to 1 , .. . . . . . rx nenvea irom a cooperative irream- ery, and urged upon tne people 01 .1 1 the county to cooperate in an effort to establish one, saying that such a business would turn loose ten to twenty thousand dollars every month among our farmers, which for the twelve months of the year would to tal almost as much as the entire cot ton cron. He declared that this would not be the only advantage, but that a creamery would encourage the breeding of more thoroughbred cows and that the farms of those taking an interest would all the time be im proving. He knows hia subject, and convinced most of those present that Stanly county should establish a creamery at once. Mr. Kimery was followed by Mr. E. S. Milsaps, Dis trict Farm Agent, of Statesville. Mr. Milsaps also boosted a co-operative creamery. He 'told of the great pro gress evident in this county during the past ten years, declaring that no better grazing section could be found in North Carolina, deploring the fact that the people here do not seem to have discovered this, or having dis covered it, have failed to appreciate it. After the address of Mr. Milsaps, a committee was appointed to con sider the advisability of establishing a creamery at once. j Ladies Assist The farmer giving the banquet were greatly assisted b" Mra. O. H. Phillips, Miss Myrtle Keller and the club girls of Millingport, the latter having served the sumptuous dinner, . . (Continued on page eight.) COUNTY CHURCHES MAY FEED THE CONFERENCE THE STRIKE SITUATION UNCHANGED IS Nothing ao far has come from President Harding's effort to get the railroad executives and shop men together so far as an imme diate aettlement of the strike is concerned. The shopmen accept ed the President's terms and the executives refused them. President Harding has since been doing noth ing. Railroads claim that they can operate train without taking back the strikers and president Harding is said to be waiting to see how they succeed. The Southern Rail way company has announced its readiness to take all its men back with the same rights they had. Whether they will accept the of fer or not has not been announced. The coal strike remains unchanged. Fuel administrators in this and other states have begun apportion ing out coal. CYCLONE MACK IS GIVEN A PURSE OF FIVE THOUSAND This Waa for His Own Use in Addi tion to an Expenditure Fund of Four Thousand (Rockingham Post, Aug. 3rd.) The great McLendon revival that began at Rockingham on June 25th came to a close last Sunday night, July 30th, with a remarkable demon stration of earnest preaching and public approval. Three services were held Sunday, and it is estimated that fully 18,000 heard him at the three services. The closing service Sundav night brought out the banner crowd, fully 8,000 being really too conserva tive an estimate. The finance committee took posses sion of a half hour at each of the three services Sunday, and gave the people an opportunity to contribute to the free-will purse for Mr. Mc Lendon. Previously, during the meet ing various collections had been tak en to defray the expenses, which amounted to over $4,000. The meeting was scheduled to run four 'weeks and the collections were based on the expenses of four weeks; and as a matter of fact no exact pro vision . was made for the expenses of this fifth week. At any rate, the finance committee Sunday went sys tematically towards raising a com mensurate purse for Mack. With J. LeGrand Everett as secretary, Messrs. B. T. Payne and Marshall French mounted the platform Sunday and made the financial announcements. Responses came from all quarters of the tent, and by Sunday night, 44,980 had been raised. This was later increased so that finally, a check for around $5,000 was turned over to Mr. McLendon. Among the largest con tributors was the Ku Klux Klan with $250. All the Sunday schools, and so cieties, fraternal and religious, con tributed, including the Woodmen, Ma sons, etc. There were two indiviluul checks for $100 each, one for $75 and two for $50; the balance was in checks for $25, and on down. And so it is seen that a great many people had a share in this purse. It was not mere ly the handling out of a big lump of money by a few rich folks it came from all stations and walks of life. And certainly Mr. McLendon must ap preciate this gift all the more, com ing as it did from literally everybody. Monroe Defenls Two Teams but Loses to Kings Mountain Monroe defeated Huntersville in a s.ow and unipteresting game nere Tuesday 7 to 6. The game was featur ed with several home runs. "Lefty" Westnedge pitched a fine gnme and easily outpitched the Huntersville twiner. Huntersville came very near tying the score in the last inning with a homer with two men on. After winning the game, Monroe handed it to Kings Mountain Wednes day on a silver platter. The game was won in the first inning but three bad errors accounting for as many runs gave them the victory. In the first inning Dagenhart was taken out and our old friend, "Bad-eye" Guthrie, was put in when Lockerbie hit one over centerfield fence, Hasty followed in the same place and Bob Kirke doubled. Monroe stored three runs in the first inning and one in the next. Two of the Kings Mountain players pasted the ball over while Monroe got three, two of them going to Lock erbie. Monroe staged a rally in the eighth when Lockerbie hit his second over the fence with a man on. Deal was taken out in the seventh and Culp twirled the remainder. Deal pitched a good game but had hard luck. He would have won his game hand it not been that it was put down that Mon roe should give them a complimentary ticket to it. Lockerbie starred with the willow, getting two home runs, one double out of four trips. The fast aggregation from Cheraw was snowed under yesterday by Mon roe 9 to 3. Deal again started for Monroe and pitched six innings, al lowing one run. He was taken out to give "Curly" Brown, the new recruit, a chance. "Curly" pitched the last three innings. In the seventh two mn were made on him due to errors. Vil hi tightened up after that and allowed no more scoring. "Curly" is still weak but as soon as he gets his strength and stride he will be doing regular duty. Louder, playing center Held in the place of Lockerbie, hit one over left field fence. 1 Mr. Reader, Veteran Entertainer, I Suggests That Churches ; Give Picnic Dinner ! WOULD HAVE IT SERVED j REGULAR COUNTRY STYLE i The Idea Takes Like Wild Fire and the Probabilities Are That "County ! Day" Will Be Observed .When the j Western North Carolina Conference j of the Methodist Church Convenes, I Here in October. Dr. C. C. Weaver, pastor of Central Methodist church, says that Mr. Ben jamin Rta I?-, a splendid old gentle man living near Center church, in Monroe township, has started some thing that is calculated to make him famous. He suggests that when the Western North Carolina conference of the Methodist church meets here on Wednesday, Oct. 18th, all the Me thodist churches of the county out side of Monroe cooperate in giving the conference a picnic dinner one day during the meeting, the time to be designated as "County Day." Dr. Weaver bel.eves it a splendid idea and su;?ests that the date for the picnic dinner be fixed for Satur day, Oct. 21st. Such an arrangement would help to bring the members of this church together in a social way and at the same time furnish them an opportunity to hear Bishop Dinny or some other noted minister preach in the afternoon. It is Dr. Weaver's intention, should the proposition de velop into a reality, to string tables around Central Methodist church and have the dinner served in regular pic nic style, and then in the afternoon to induce the bishop to preach to the great assembly from all over the coun. ty. Woald Set Precedent Since the conference is entertained on the Harvard plan, Dr. Weaver stat es that the citizens of Monroe will not be expected to furnish th e dele gates dinner anyway, but he points out that should the Churches of the county decide to give the picnic din ner it would be quite a saving to the conference and at the same time fur nish an opportunity to country people that has never been offered them at a gathering of this kind, and ha be lieves that it would set a precedent that other counties would follow. Mr., Reader has always delighted in feeding preachers and has perhaps furnished more fried chicken to Me thodist preachers than any other man in the county, and his idea of giving a picnic dinner to the three hundred preachers and two hundred lay dele gates that will be here in October is but the culmination of a life-long habit. Child Kidnapped by Father James Heriot, eighteen-months-o!d great grandson of Eso. M. L. Flow, was kidnapped from the Flow home in Monroe yesterday afternoon by the father of the child, James Heriot, who lives near Bishopville, S. C. It is stated that Heriot has failed to adequately provide for his family. Mrs. Heriot, who is Esq. Flow's grand daughter, and the baby have been making their home with him since the first of the year. Tuesday after noon while the child's mother was at a ball game Heriot went to the Flow home and asked to see his little son, assuring Miss Inez Flow and the nurse that he had no ulterior motive. When Miss Flow was called away for a tew minutes Heriot snatched the babby and carried it up town where he hired Cleveland Helms to take him to Camden in an automobile. Deputy .Sheriff Paul Griffith was no tified pr.d he immediately set out in pursuit or Heriot but tire trouble pre vented his overtaking him. However, Sirs. j. t. McLutchen. grandmother 01 the child, and other relatives were notified and stopped Heriot at Cam den about 12 o'clock at night. Heriot had bought a ticket to Georgia, but was arrested and turned over to of ficers. Esq. Flow states that Heriot was drinking. Before marriage, Mrs. Heriot was Miss Mae Moore, daugh ter of the Late Lemuel Moore of Ches terfield, and Ethel Flow whose second marriage was to J. E. McCutchen of Bishopville. Misses Billy, Aline and Marie Get tys of Charlotte are expected thia afternoo:; to visit Miss Alma Tom berlin. Miss Kate Copple is attending a house party at the home of Mr. and Mis.
