THE LOCAL VETERANS
LEAVE IN FINE STYLE
Some twenty old soldiers, some of
them members of Camp Walkup and
some from ' Lancaster county, left
Monroe yesterday morning for the
reunion in New Orleans and they went
in style, with a band playing . Dixie
at every jump.. It is seldom indeed
that a camp is accompanied by its
own private band. Camp Walkup
was able to put on this class by rea
son of the generosity of the Icemor
lee Mill which paid the expenses of
the Icemorlee band and sent this' fine
body of musicians along with the old
soldiers. And the president of the
Icemorlee Mill, Mr. A. J. Draper,
is a man who was born north of the
Mason and Dixon line.
And the car in which the veterans
rode bore streamers on' the sides say
ing, "Camp Walkup, U. C. V., Mon
roe, N. C, Tar Heels" and on the
cloth were nainted a few tar heels.
Major Heath was generalissimo and
the members of Camp Walkup who
went were: W. C. Coan, F. C. btm
son, Thos. Willeford, J. C. Hugginj,
Jas. A. Griffin, S. E. Belk, W. M.

N. W. Bivens. A. W. MeManus, v
G. Long. Also among others going
were Mrs; N. W Bivens and Rev. T.
J. Husrerins. , r
The Icemorlee band will not only
play along the way to New Orleans
and back, but they will be in the pa
rades in the city during the encamp
ment. The band carried twentytwo
men, all of them regular members ex
cept one. This one was secured for
the occasion from another town to fill
up. The idea of taking the band
originated with Maj. Heath and he
and Superintendent J. O. Edwards got
t.h endorsement of the management.
The following members of the band
went: D. W. Ureen, Henry u,uio,
Arp McManus, Lee- Helms, - Oscar

f The Raleigh editor and publicist,
who was recently made director for
the public from North Carolina in the
Tobacco Growers Co-Operative Asso

doubt3 that prices of both cotton and
tobacco have been greatly Detterea as
a result of the gradual and orderly
marketing growing out of co-operative
marketing. '
While admitting that some mis
takes have been made, Dr. Poe says
it would be as foolish to give up
co-operative marketing as it would be
to refuse 10 correct mistakes after
they have been made. He affirms
his belief that co-operative marketing
is the inevitable system pf selling

a reoutation as a lawyer since he
entered the profession a ' short time
ago. He finished his course at Wake
Forest last spring, and since that time
has been practicing in Charlotte. But
we are the more proud of this young
man for he is a product of our own
county.

operetta is considered the best of our
part of the program. It furnishes two
and a half hours of excellent enter
tainment. For this part of the pro
gram, an admission fee of fifteen

To all of these exercises the public

Election For Gity
Bond Election Separate Matters
The primary and the subsequent
election of town. officers has nothing
whatever to do with the bond election
for city water supply.' The registra
tion books are open for the registra
tion of voters in the city election. No
new registration is required in, the
matter of the calling an election on
the bond question.
Last mzht the aldermen met to re
ceive petitions asking for an election
on the issuance ol bonds lor water
supply, in case there should be such
petitions, in accordance with their no
tice thirty days before. r
On the 7th of March the aldermen
passed an ordinance providing for the
issuance of $175,000 in bonds for the
purpose of increasing the city water
supply. This notice was published in
The Monroe Journal of Marcn atn,
and once a week since. The notice
sets forth as required by law that it
will become effective thirty days af
ter publication, unless an election is
oetkioned for and called as provided
for under the general municipal fi
nance act. That act provides that an
elect'on shall be called upon such
questions if one-third of the qualified
voters so petition. The aldermen nao
no objection to submitting the matter
to a vote and were not trying to pre
vent a vote, they were' simply going
about the matter in the way required
by law. ".

The smell of the newly ploughed

from every orchard a shower of, the

the date for receiving petitions, the
aldermen met to receive such. A
number of petitions were presented.
As required by law, they were turned
over to the city clerk for examina
tion and legal certification. - If he
finds that there are sufficient, num
ber to require an election as provided
by law the election will be called and
due notice given. - V
Of course the number of qualified
voters referred to in the matter of
calling an election means the number
of names on the list at the time of
the petition, and not at any subse
quent time. Therefore the number of
names registered for . the coming
election after April 9th, has nothing
tot do with it. As said above, the elec
tion for city officers and the election
for bonds if one is called has nothing
to do' with each other at all. They

Close the eye a raomen and look
at tho picture fancy' paints. Every
field in Georgia is there, every field

figures are the same the steady
mute and tne steady man and tne pat

say,
And yet, as those white seeds rat
tle down to the sod and hide away
for a season, it needs no peculiar
strength of fancy to see a Jacob's
ladder crowded with ascending bless

Scornfully, the railroad king would
glance at these small teams in each
small field; yet check those corndrop-
Ders and his cars would rot on the
road and rust would devour the en
gines in the roundhouse. The banker
would ride through those fields think
ing only of his hoarded millions, nor
would he ever startle himself with the
thought that his millions would melt
away in mist, were those tiny hands
never more to be found dropping corn.
The bondholder, proud in all the se
curity of the untaxed receiver of oth
er people's taxes, would see in these
fields merely the industry from which
he gathers tribute; it would never
dawn on his mind, that, without the
opening of those furrows and the
hurrying army oi children dropping
corn, his bonds wouldn't be worth the
natier thev are written on,
Great is the might of this repub

courts, legislatures; great in its
towns and cities great in its com

great in its, colossal wealth.

worn and wasted fields, strike into
idleness or death the plowman, his
wife and his child, and what becomes

Halt the food growers, and what
becomes of your gold and its "intrin

How much of your gold can you

How many of your diamonds will
answer the need of a loaf?
But enough.
It is time to ride down the hill. The
tinkle of the cowbell follows the sink
ing sun both on the way home.
So, with many an unspoken thought
i ride homeward, thinking of those
who plant corn.
And hard indeed would be the heart
that knowinr what these people do
and bear and suiTer, yet would not
fashion this prayer.to the favored of
the republic: '.'O rulers, lawmakers,

INDIAN TRAIL GIRLS
ENTERTAIN KIWANIANS
One of the most entertaining pro
grams that the Monroe Kiwania Club
has ever had was given Friday night
at the Hotel Joffre. Mr. Charles W.
Bundy, principal of the Indian Trail
school, had charge of the program.
Five of his high school girls present
ed a .one act farce comedy entitled
"A Secret League of False Notions."
The play was written by the young
ladies who presented it The charac
ters in the sketch represented five na
tionalities and each girl performed
her part in a most splendid and com
mendable manner. Representing the
five countriei were Miss Martha
Crowell, the American girl, Miss Da
vie Morris, the Italian girl, Miss
Gladys Benton,' the Irish girl, Miss
Jessie Fitzgerald, the French girl,
and Miss Dearie Ritch, the German
girl.
The 'theme of the play was to or
ganize a club to consist of five na
tionalities in order to pass their
school work without having to study.
The German girl had to be initiated
before she could become a member
and in order to become a member,
she had to sing the Marseillaise in
French. After she had suffered this
embarrassment and learned that the 1
purpose of the League was to get out
ot work, she disclosed her position m
the school a teacher of German.
When the ' 6ther girls learned that
she was an instructor rather than a
student, as they supposed her to be
at first, they were placed in a quan
dary and had to disband their organ
ization else' they would nave to leave
the school. 1 '
During the play several jokes were
told on diflerent members of the Ki-
wanis Club. ' '
