C, Friday, September 13, 1922. $2.00 Per Year Cash LORD IS BEHIND CO-OP. MOVEMENT, County Demonstrator Likens Dr. Poe to Nehemiah of Olden Times CONDITIONS NOW AND THEN ARE ANALAGOUS Like Some of the Jews of That Day Said About the Wall Being Re Too Many of the Farmers Are Standing Aloof, Saying "It Can't Be Done; The Story of Nehemiah. "I am doing a great work and can-1 not come down," is the message that Nehemiah sent to Sandballet and an-1 other gentleman who were conspir- wg against me aougr.ty iseneivnan , when he was rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem and trying to rescue his j people from the terrible condition of! poverty and oppression tl.oy hud lal len into. Preacher Dan Austin has a powerful sermon from ths text that he used to preach on special occasions in this county. And it is the text that Tom Broom says Dr. Clarence Poe quoted when he was told that old Doc Alexander and Alphabet Stone of the defunct Farmers I'r.inn were sending out circulars attacking Poe for crusading in behalf of co operative marketing. And it is the text Broom quotes when anyone wishes to divert his at tention from co-operative marketing. He says that Dr. Poe -is the Nehemiah of the co-operative movement, and now that he is sick from overwork Broom thinks it is a good time to give him some credit. But Broom thinks more. He thinks the Lord is behind the co-operative movement just as he has been behind all movements for great causes. "Just as the Lord was with the oppressed people of Jerusalem, so he is with the iax-ridden, poverty strick en cotton farmers." he said. Then he told the story of Nehemiah. "Hearing the distressed cry of his oppressed race," he bej,an, "Nehe- liliah, a wealthy Jew, persuaded Art axerxes, King of Pers a, to appoint him Governor of Jerusalem. With letters to the Governors of various provinces, requesting thvir protec tion, he set out. "Arriving lit Jerusalem, he found untold d stress. The walls surround ing the city were down, the people had lost heart, they had mortgaged their land, vineyards una houses that they might buy corn because of the famine, and they had borrowed mon ey to pay the king's tribute. "The people were in the utmost depth of despair. With but little food, oppressed by taxes, their burden was greater than they could boar. "Nehem ah .mmediatcly took meas ures to better the l it oi the people. He called the nobles into conference and shamed them for their usury. Then he began the erection of a wall upon the debris of the old ruins." Here Mr. Broom interrupted to say: "And like many of our farmers say ubout the co-operative movement, some of the Jews told Nehemiah that the rebuilding of the wall was impos sible. 'We think it is a good thing,' they would say, 'but it can't be done.' The greatest enemy to the co-operative movement is not the cotton buy er, but the farmer who believes the theory is sound, yet assumes the sel fish attitude of 'wait and see.' " Continuing the story of Nehemiah, Mr. Broom said: "Finally, after much effort, tha walls were completed. 'Now,' to quote the Scriptures literally, 'it came to nass, when Sandballet, and Tobiah, and Geshen and Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had build ed the wall, und that there was no breach left therein; (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates); That Sandballat and Goshen sent unto r.ie, saying. Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages of the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief. And I sent messengers unto them, saying I am doing a great work si that 1 carnot come down: why should the work cease whilst I leave it, and come down to you? Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same man ner." Today, said Mr. Broom, we find Southern farms mortgaged to the hilt, high taxes on every hand; and when the modem Nehemiah, Dr. Clarence Pop, . began preaching co-operative murketing as their salvation, many voices arose in ridicule. Hunting Liquor, Sheriff Hunter Gets a Kick (From the Lancaster News.) Sheriff Hunter sustained a severe kick on the right hip by a mule at the colored camp ground Saturday night while hunting for liquor. The sheriff said he did not get the full force of the lick which was deflected by the animal's foot striking a wag on wheel, otherwise he would have been t home instead of up and about in the discharge of his duties. The print of a part of the mule's foot is to be seen on the sheriff's body. In the search one quart of liquor and three pistols were taken by the offi cers. , It is said that Germany is about to pay something on account. We gath er that this means something on ac count of p.. sure. Manila Bulletin. SAYS BROOM LOCAL HOSPITAL MAY HAVE SPECIAL WARDS The trustees of the Ellen Fitz gerald hospital held a meeting last night, at which time the superin tendent. Miss Elliott, made a full report of the work covering July and August. The report showed a deficit in July while in August the receipt about equalled the expen diture. ..However, for the time the institution has been in operation there is quite a deficit. At the meeting last night ways and means were discussed for the installation of an elevator and x-ray machine for the hospital. A committee of three, consisting of the chairman, Mr. J. H. Lee, Mr. K. A. Morrow and Mr. D. B. Sny der, was appointed to take up the matter of arranging two wards, one for men and one for women, w hich may be occupied at a mini mum price, which would take care of a number of patients of moder ate means. The Journal's informant states that the late Mr. V. C. Redwine, who died in the Ellen Fitzgerald hospital a few days ago, told him while on his dei th bed that if he got well he intended writing an ar ticle for The Journal telling of the pxcellent service, accommodations, -Icanliness and sympathetic atten tion he had received since entering the institution. ..He also spoke of Miss Elliott, the superintendent, in the highest terms. Miss Elliott states that quite a number have recently contributed fruits, vegetables, etc . to the in stitution and that it was thankfully received. ..Anybody who wishes to contribute any such articles as the above, also any other articles that are eatable will confer a favor up on the institution by so doing.

Last Thursday night Abraham blew into town from the "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," stating that he is orig inally from Russia, but more recently from Washington, D. C. Abraham says he is familiar with the city of Monroe, having built hundreds of stove flues here. But that isn't the interesting feature to the story. Last Thursday night Abraham started, as he sas, over into North Monroe to visit some of his colored friends, but he stopped at the railroad crossing on the Morgan Mill road and when found hv' was lying on the ground moaning and groaning, and when asked what had happened to him he replied that freight train No. 6 had struck him and knocked his hip out of joint. Dr. Creft, one of Monroe's colored phy sicians, was summoned and he is s'lll carrying a strained back as the re sult of picking the two hundred pound Abraham and placing him in his car to carry him to the colored hospital. Examinations and x-ray pictures failed to reveal anything wrong with Abraham after he reached the hos pital, but it was very evident that his hip was out of joint and the bones could be heard rubbing together. But not until tne railroad claim agent from Charlotte, where the negro had pulhd off a similar stunt, arrived Wednesday afternoon was the cat let out of the bag. When the agent walk ed in and saw the negro he at once recognized him and said: "Hello., what are you doing here?" Abraham replied that the train had s'.ruc him. To this the'claim agent replied: "Yes. I know you," and he left for Charlotte to get certain in formation to swear out a warrant for the negro. Claim Agent Cured Abraham But during the dark hours of the n.ght before the claim agent had time to return, the thought .of 'Mat Char lotte Gentl'man" effected a complete cure ar.it Abraham left the hospital power, gift or witchery of throwing nis tnigti out ot joint and that he is making an effort to capitalize the gift. Outside of that, nobody knows where he is nor what he is doing, but if anybody happens to see a strange negro weighing at least two hundred pounds rambling around in his mid- night clothes, they are respectfully asked to report to police headquarters ::t Monroe. A man who probably knows says there never was a meal so expensive as the free lunch. 10 worn anu men laid oil, iurlougheU or on leave of absence, including gen eral chairman and others who were as tral chairman and others who were ai oi Juno 30, TD22, and thev will be call viaea lor, snail be used or cited in any controversy between these parties or between the railroads signing the same or any other class or classes of their employes in any other contro versy that may hereinafter arise.

MOORE AND CROW ARE RECEIVING AGENTS One at Marshville and One at Wax haw ill Take Charge of Cotton Mr. E. H. Moore of Mutual Bank & & Trust Co., Marshville, N. C and Mr. W. M. Crow of Waxhaw, have been appointed receiving agents at those points for the N. C. Cotton Growers Co-oiierative 'Association. These points, Waxhaw and Marsh ville, will be the only points in Union county outside Union County Bonded wareDouse at Monroe where cotton from members of the Association will be received. Mr. Crow can be found at weighing platform at Waxhaw any day in the week from 8 a. m. to 5 p. ni. Mem bers are urged to hasten delivery of their cotton to the points mentioned. Mr. Crow and Mr. Moore w.ll re ceive the cotton, sample, tag, issue bill of lading and make out members draft for his advance of $50 on each bale. Monroe, Waxhaw and " Marshville will be furnished a complete list of the numbers of the association in the county with their contract numbers. In case you have not received contract numbers and have a certificate of membership in the association the number on your certificate is the same as your contract number. Put your membership number on a piece of pa per or a memorandum book, and ask either of these gentlemen to compare them so they will be correct. Quite a few members who have signed the contract and whose names are on list furnished are without numbers. This does not mean your cotton will not be received and your draft or warehouse receipt will not be cashed, as the banks in the county have been advis ed for the present to honor all drafts and warehouse receipts regardless of numbers. No member will iro without his advance should he desire it. There is quite a lot of talk going around, so I am informed, that mem bers who do not want to take advant age of the $.'0 per bale advance will have to pay interest on it anyway. This is a mistake. If you do not want an advance jou will not have to ac cept it, nor will you be called upon to help pay the other fellow's interest. We wish to urge members though to accept this advance, deposit the mon ey in some bank in your county, and if you do not need it the bank will be glad to get it, as it puts that much more- money in escalation in your county and helps to booft the price of cotton. In case you do accept this advance, we wish to advise vou to immediately have draft cashed, as it has a bill of lading attached, and until that draft reaches Raleigh the asso ciation ennot touch that cotton in railroad station until the bill of lad ing reaches Raleigh. It is therefore important that when you get this draft with bill of lading attached to it go to a bank at once and get your moiuy so that the bill of lading can be on its way to Raleigh. Our books will he open for the time being for new members and any far mer who wishes to join the associa tion can go to either Mr. Moore at Marshville or Mr. Crow at Waxhaw or Mr. Plyler at Monroe and sign a contract and jour cotton will be ac cepted, draft or warehouse receipt is sue! and you can immediately get your ipO advance. While Mr. K. H. Moore is the re ceiving agent, it does not mean that his bank is the only place in Marsh ville where your draft will be cashed, as the Bank of Marshville will do the sanu1. Mr. Moore is only acting as our n;;ent, and he will gladly make out your draft for the other bank if you desire him to do so. Any other information that mem bers may desire, if they will ad. ires; me. Monroe, N. ('., I will be onlv too glad to see them in person or advise them by letter. If any farmer decides he n ishes to become a member of this association, if he will advise me I will call to see them at once. Very truly yours, E. W. GILLIAM, Fill I Representative Union County Cotton Growers Association. Kt KLUX TO PARADE STREETS ALBEMARLE At Least a Letter to the Editor of the News-Herald Says That They Will (From the Stanly News-Herald.) A letter that had been signed but which had the name of the writer torn off, was handed to the News-Herald this morning which announced that on the nieht of September ISth, the Ku Klux Klan will parade the streets of Albemarle in full regalia, and re quested that we publish a statement to this effect in the paper. Setsng visions of ourselves suspended to a dead limb on some of the highways oi Stanly county if we failed to conform to this request, we do hereby announce the fact, without vouching for the au thenticity or truthfulness of the fact that the parade will be held. Just how many knights of the Ku Klux Klan will participate in the parade was not stated in the letter, neither was the hour when the parade will take place announced, but we assume it will be in the early part .of the night, if at all. No doubt, however, Albemarle will have a thrill on Mon day night, September 18, and that the populace will know what a procession of the hooded organization looks 1 ko when ail dressed up and no place to ko. In several southern states fish are being turned loose to eat mosquitoes. Poor fish.
