Cot ton Association Will Be of Interest to Fanners of Halifax County CO OPERATING MARKETING VERY SUCCESSFUL Mr. Homer H. U Mask. Man ager of tlie Field Service Depart ment of the N. C. Cotton Grow ers’ Co-Operative Association, will address the cotton growers of Halifax County at the regular county meeting of the Halifax County organization ot the Col ton Association at Halifax Mon day. July 2nd. 1923, at 3 o'clock P. M. From the standpoint of deliv eries and efficiency of manage ment the N. C. Cotton Associa tion occupies a position in the front ranks of the co-operative associations of eastern United States and it looks very promis ing now that the final settlement for the 1922 cotton crop handled by this association is going to net its members a much higher average than those received who sold on the open market. All the Cotton Growers Asso ciations are federated into a nat ional association known as the American Cotton Growers Ex change of which Mr. C. B. How ard, of Atlanta, Ga., is sales manager. As an instance of the efficiency with which these As. jociations operate, and co-oper ate, a few weeks ago Mr. Howard advised that all the Associations stop seliing cotton because of the continued decline in prices and acting upon Ins advice every one if the various cotton associations :ame oif the market anil stopped jelling cotton until there was a renewed demand for cotton at much higher prices. It is gener ally admitted that this action of the associations played an import ant part in the recent rise of prices for spot cotton. Having been connected with the N. C. Cotton Association since its organization Mr. Mask is in a position to give informa mation that will be of consider able interest, both to the mem bers of the Association and to the non-member farmers of the rountv.

CHAUTAQUA PRESENTS NINTH PROGRAM Season Ticket Sales Run Shot of Guaranty and Guarantors Pay $3.50 each. Good Program Being Given RETURN NEXT YEAR DOUBTFUL The community’s ninth Chau-1 tan qua erected its big tent on I Monday and began the seven day program for 1923 Contrary to1 torm.*r years and due principally to an increase of three hundred dollars in tin* guaranty, sales of season tickets fell approximately $350 00 short of the guaranty and expenses, and individual! guarantors were called on; to make good the deficit | by payments of $3 50 each j The program so far has boon, good, th-* Dunbar Male Qiar-j tette and Bell Ringers and the: Dunbar White Hussars especial-| ly appealing to the audiences. I The Shakespearean play. 'Ihej Taming of the Shrew was well presented and made a very at tractive number on the program Among ihe lecturers who have talked so far Ca-yeth Wells in his talk on “My Six Years in the Jungles of Malay” easily ranks in popular appeal. He carried his audience right with him and it »s i probably safe to say that there was not a bored listener in the tent. Tonight is the big event of [ Chautauqua, “Crossed Wires” a; Chautauqua Comedy-Drama, he-; ing presented by a large cast. To- ; morrow night Opie Read, head liner of Chautauqua lecturers will talk * on “Human Nature and: Politics”. Whether the community will have Chautauqua next year iin 1 doubt at this time. The opinion I of the majority seems to be I against it, but this feeling may ! change before the closing of tin*; program for the year.

Comnletelv outclassed in every phase of the game Weldon was humbled to the satisfaction of all loyal supporters in the open ing contest on last Saturday at Rosemary Park. Anxious to see the 3-R outfit inaction due to the battle pitch which was justified by the usual rivalry between the two towns, the largest crowd which ever witnessed a came at Rosemary Pur! ; charmed fr-f" by the cohuiLii.h o. the pia\ mK field and secondly by the high grade base ball the locals were able to put out, In the hrst two innings Shields was unhitahle, with fuiir strike outs to l.is credit and no hall hat ti d further than the pitcher.

The locals rolled up four more tallies in the iiig seventh which included a drive for the circuit by II. Johnson when Turner was nestling on first where a single had just placed him.

WELFARE BOARD SCORES JAIL County Jail at Halifax Get* Severe Criticism From State and County Welfare Officers — Prisoners Not Properly Treated and Fed RECOMMEND DISMISSAL OF JAILOR On March 30th, 1923, Lhe Hali fax county jail was inspected by R. I). Jenkins, County Superin tendent of Public Welfare, W. B. Sanders and Roy M. Brown, re presenting the State Board of: Charities and Public Welfare. The jail is a three story build ing constructed in 1912, with brick wall, concrete floors, steel stairways, and slate roof. The cells are of a modern type and the outside windows are protect ed by plain steel bars. It has six apartments for the confinement of prisoners four with six cells each, and two with two cells each. The window space is ample for . light and ventilation, but the 1 uuiiumg is so piacea as to points ot the compass that the sunlight does not enter the interior of the cells. The building is wired for elec tric lights, but at the time of the visit th< re were no lamps in the I jail, the jailor stating that the prisoners break them. The jail has a private water and sewerage system which en ters into the Roanoke river. At the time of the visit this also was out of order and evidently had been for months. There had been some time shower baths for the prisoners, but they were broken and not working so that there were no facilities for bath ing. There is no arrangement for hot water. Themital parts of the jail, it was stated had not been painted in three years. They need it bad iy. The toilets and lavatories are not clean. Blankets, the jailor says, are washed once every three months. There are no slips for the mattresses, r.o sheets or pil lows, clean blankets are not re gularly given to new prisoners. On the day of the visit the beds were very dirty. The county does not furnish underclothing, other nlothes or night clothes. The prisoners are not furnished indi vidual towels. It was stated that toilet paper is furnished, but visitors did not see any. The jail is heated by steam. The system needed repairing as one pipe was burst. The prisoners are given two meals a day. The county does not use the fee system, but buys its supplies and pays its jailor a salary. The menu for the day be fore the visit was as follows— breakfast: corn bread, herring, fried bacon : dinner- corn bread, fried bacon, sweet potatoes The meals are served in tin plates which are not washed afterwards unless the prisoners themselves wash them in cold water. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. That the following repairs he made at once: (a) Entire interior of the jail he repainted. (h) Shower baths be ret air ed and provision made for hot water. (c) That the pipes of the heating system be repaired. 2 That all beddWK be given a thorough cleaning'1 *n»t slips of brown cotton cloth be secured for mattresses, and that in the future blankets and mattress slips be laundered at frequent in tervals, and always after being used by one prisoner before they are given to another. 2. That all prisoners be requir ed to bathe and put on clean clothing upon entering the jail, and to bathe at least once a week afterward. 4. i nat me ngnts De repairea and so placed in the jailors cor ridor at least that prisoners may see to read if they desire to do j so, and that the jailor be held re i sponsible for the breakage of any lamps in jailors corridor. ! 5. That the jailor be required ' to keep the jail clean, and serve meals of prisoners in clean dish I es. 6, It is further recommended I by the Superintendent of Public 'Welfare for Halifax County. (a) That the present jailor be i immediately dismissed. (b) That a jailor be appointed that has some knowledge of hygene, sanitation and dietetics. R. D. Jenkins, Supt. Public Welfare.
