"We further heartily recommend to the farmers of the scuth that by rea son of the great need for increasing fool and feed crops that they mate rally increase their acreage of these crops for the year 1919 and to acoom rlir'i this end by reducing their cotton acreages :. "We urge that the widest publicity be. given the action of this conference and that authorities and agencies in etch state be especially charged with the duty of organizing each state into county and school district for the ourpose of carrying out the action em bodied in these resolutions." Many of the speakers attributed the recent violent slump in prices to the v. r.r industries board and shortly be fore adjournment the following "reso lution was adopted: "Be it resol-vedl That it is the sense of this conference that the powers and functions of the war industries board should be dissolved immediately upon the conclusion of peace." There was some division of opinion concerning the advisability of calling on congress to dissolve the war in dustries board, but J. H. Mills, presi dent of the Georgia Farmers' anion, threw out an idea that decided the delegates in favof of the resolution. "Suppose, when the war is over," said he, "the war industries board is empowered to license all foreign buy ers of American raw materials for export? Suppose the .board permits a certain stipulated quantity of Amer ican raw cotton to be shipped out of the country and hold the balance at homel Thie is the plan now being considered. You might as well face the !?We now. as later, for. you've got to ,a'e it - eventually." , This suggestion at once opened the "'e -of the delegates to tremendous j"-sibnities. ' They wanted to know "if the textile interests were going to h .ve a fence built around 'American raw cotton, so that they could take it at their pleasure' and pay such.a price as they pleased to pay. This was about what It would amount to, thought Mr. Mills and Others. So the delegates lost no" time In adooting the resolution demanding the dissolution of the war irdustnes board immediately upon the conclusion of peace. - ;; , fir.

HEALTH OFFICER PROTESTS AGAINST HOLDING COURT All Homes in Which Influenza Appears to Be Placarded and Rule Pamphlets Distributed. The Rowan county board of health met in the commissioners room at the courthouse this morning to canvass the influenza situation and discuss the lifting of the quarantine as applied to closing of certain businesses, picture shows, schools and churches and pro hibiting public gatherings. il)r. A. J. Warren reported that there was only slight change in the situation, but that the majority of new cases. in this vicinity were report ed from the Salisbury mill section. After some deliberation the follow ing was passed, which lifts the ban on closing and public gatherings ef fectivo at 12 o'clock taiiay, and in consequence of which Superintendent Andrews announced that the city schools would resume work tomorrow: "On motion the order made in the beginning as to closing of churches, schools, picture shows, pool rooms, barber shops and all business houses be rescinded. Also all orders con cerning public gatherings be sus pended, to take effect at 12 o'clock, non, today, November 20.

Warren, county health officer, took exceptoin to the holding of Sunerior court here Monday and is sues the following strong protest: Health Officer Protests Dear Mr. Editor : Yesterday, November 18, 1918, the Superior court wni convened by Judge Long and Solicitor Hayden Clement for the purpose of adminis tering justice to a few criminals that were comfortably lodged in the county jail For six weeks our loyal citizens of Rowan county have patiently co-operated with the county board of health in an effort to eradicate the severe eiidemic of influenza. The pepole have stood by the quarantine like men. Churches, schools and business houses have been closed, probably for the first time in history. They did it willingly because they felt that they were serving, the best interest of the citizens of the county. And they un questionably were. On the contrary, the court officials had a crowded house, with utter dis regard for the quarantine that is still in force. That the solicitor and judge should have allowed court to con vene without regard for the best in terest of the community and without 'egard or respect for the county board if health and their efforts to serve 'he citizens of the county, is an un heard of procedure. Even though no new rases of influenza should arise from the crowded court it is import ant because the utter disregard sig nifies arbitrary officialdom and lack of appreciation of the conscience and moral courage of men devoted to con servation of public health. Both the juilne and the solicitor are guilty of a misdemeanor. No action has" been instituted against these offi cials because we have been taught to regard the court the one institution 'vy means of which laws are observed. nd when the judge and solicitor are made defendants then we certainly feel a delicacy in resortir to legal orocedures. When we prosecute a iudge and a solicitor then we reflect lpon ourselves, because did we not vote them into office they fill ? That .hey have so openly betrayed the con fidence of their own interests is re grettable. A. J. WARREN, Health Officer. w s s BIG MONEY JUDGMENT ENTERED AT ASHEVILLE Asheville, Nov. 9. The largest money judgment ever returned in a federal court in this state has been granted S. M. E. Cozard against the Whiting Manufacturing company for 75jOO0 by Judge James F. Boyd, in United States district court here. The judgment involves 60.000 acres of hardwood timber hi Graham county, said to be the largest single tract of Hardwood timber east of the Missis sippi. The Investment Registry com pany of London, England, and the Union Trust company, of Toronto, 'jondholders for the defendant com pany, were interested in the case. The :ase has been before the court for sev eral years, and ending of the litigation now promises to open uo develop ments in this great tract of timber. w s a Not until shell-torn battlefields are turned into wheat fields will Europe sease to look to us for food.

VON TIRPITZ ADVOCATED BUILDING OF SUBMARINES Thi3 Lessened the Number of Bat tleships and Cruisers and Made German Navy Less Effective. (By Associated Press.) Ix)ndon, Nov. 20. (British Wire 'sss Service.) Captain l'ersuif, Ger .nar. naa! critic chooses the moment when the finest vessels in the German navy are about to be surrendered to Ihe allies to publish in the Eerlin Tapebh.tt a sensatonal article con taining revelations regarding the Ger man fleet. Captain Persuif says he hopes that ihe German fleet would be able in a .wood Skagerrak battle to best the British fleet, wrested upon the bluff unti lies of naval authorities. In August, 1914, Germany had ibout one million tonnage in warships, the writer points out, while Great Britain had more than double this and i hanks to the mistake of von Tirpitz ihe German material was quite infe rior to the British,. In the Swagerrak battle, he declar ?d, the German fleet was saved from destruction pnrtly by good luck and favorable weather cnoditions. Had the weather been clear or Admiral von Sheer's leadership less able the de struction of the whole German navy would have resulted. Long range Brit ish Kuns would have completely smashed the lighter armed German sh'ips. As it was the losses of the German fleet were enormous and on June 1 Captain Persuif says it was lear to every thinking man that the Skagerrak bwttle must be the only s;ret naval engagement of the war. (m all sides, continues the writer, Admiral von Tirpitz advised the con struction only of submarines but re mained obstinate. On October 1 (1917?) several members of the reich stag appealed to the army command not the naval staff with the result that an order was issued terminating the construction of battle ships so tha the material might be used in the construction of submarines. In the meantime so great a scarcity of material had arisen it became neces sary to di?arm a number of battle ships of their metal. In this manner, at the beginning of 191C, 23 battle ships had disarmed as well as one new cruiser. In 1917, he states, 8.1 submarines had been constructed while there had been 6i .destroyers built. In April, 1917, Germany had 126 submarines and in October. 146. In February, 1918, she had 136 and in June of the same year she had 113, according to Captain Persuif. . W S S : TIIANSG1VING OFFERING Urged That tBe Offering This Year for the Orphans Be Liberal Need Is Mori Urgent. To the Editor: The management of our charitable institutions have been making patri otic efforts to adjust their work to the new and imperative needs of the war, which have added materially to and made more essential most of the normal demands upon them. Some of the orphan homes are finding diffi culty in securing funds to continue their present work, even on the same or a reduced scale, with applications accumulating that must be declined for lack of facilities to warrant rea sonable expansion. It is no little task in normal times to secure sufficient funds to support the orphanage work and important departments in a number of the or phan homes have been handicapped on account of this state of affairs. The talk about the needs of these institu tions may become tiresome to some, but if the people are to sustain them they must know something of existing conditions. During the present ab normal times, with increasing de mands of every sort which the war is making on philanthropy, it becomes necessary to keep our orphanage work before the people. Who knows but that v.e are actually facing the breakdown pr.d bankruptcy of this the most im portant work that develops and sus tains the life of the state in a chari table way? The state has taken a large share of the income of her citiiens for the urc of he government in defense of their rights and ideals; it should also pro tect and support, in every possible v.-ay, those forces and activities which create the ideals and make for the security of the foundation of our gov ernment. The spirit of humanity, the enlightened and quickened impulses of education and the retrenerative influ ence of relrpron are the essential ele ments of strength and character in our citizermhio. We must foster them. We crnnot afford to withhold the re l;ef and encouragement which the proposal to contribute the amout of one dav's income to some one of the ?0 orphan homes offers, when a re fusal to do so migrht place the or phanage work in jeopardv. The suggestion of a Thanksgiving offering of one day's income is reason able indeed. Not one person in a hun dred is unable to do that and all can assist in bringing the matter to the sttention of the -people. Each of the orphan fiomee is worthy of any en couragement the people can offer and all patriotic men and. women are urged to assist in secuflng the funds needed to sustain them.

By JUDSON C. WELLIVER. (XtniT Correspondent of Glabc, Copy right, lb 18, by J. C. Welliver.) Washington, Nov. 18. There is iv.j-nifest in Washington lately a good deyl of very real concern about the r.rvj iiiul subtle German propaganda in 1 1 1 i country. It is commonly re fciicl to as Lhe propaganda of sym pathy, and, if it is really being di vected in any organized way, the people who are managing it nre decid edly overplaying their hand. Already, although peace is neither !--e cured nor finally assured, there are sins of a tendency to return to the c.M division of sentiment regarding Germany. People who, before Amer ica entered the war, were frankly and openly pro-German, have been keep ing very ftill fr about 19 months past. The policy has conducted to Kciicral health and well-being. But recently they have beard Her 1 ert Hoover and other people, e.en the President, expouding the reasons why this country must immediately turn itself to help feed the distressed Get man people. This has given the color of high and eminently respect able authority for expression of sym jtahhv in behalf of the German peo ple. "Pros" of 1916 Now Sympathizers So the pro-Ciermans of 1916 are turning up as the German sympathiz ers of today arguing that we must help feed and care for the German people.: moving from this by an easy transition to the argument that the German people are not. to blame, but only the rulers they have now dis carded, and from this to more or less open criticism of the armistice terms on the ground that they are too se vere. All this gives concern to public men wo recognize that the armistice nfter all is not the instrument to de termine Germany's relation to the rest world, in the future. That will be de termined by the terms of peace, which is not yet made, and in the making of which America is said to have an important part. So the apparent effwt thus early to arouse a considerable'force of sen timental interest in behalf of the un fortunate German people is viewed with nn apprehension that in the minds of a good many not unreason able people approaches alarm. If the German sympathizers, here irvl abroad, want the United States to help Oprmnny stave off starvation, they will do well to supnress the'r too frank propaganda, both here and in Berlin. Dr. Solf. by his persistence in ignoring the allies seeking to ore- ate sympathy in the United States for starving Germanv, clready has over done matters. He has received a btoad hint from Secretary Lansing hht thk kind of direct communica tion to the United States is not wel come. It is strongly suspected at Washington that Dernberg and Bern ?tor!T have had a srood deal to do with this new svmpathv prooaganda. Mifjht Develop Political Unit As the politicians view it, it must he regarded with suspicion on this -.i'le because apparently it aims ti olidifv the old p'o-Gerninn svmpathv into something like a political unit wr:ch might he emploved in future political contests. It alreadv is an "a rent that efforts of this sort will "ause a reaction so prompt and em nhatic as greatly to iniure the Ger man interest. The politicians are afraid of show ing themselves in any wise symna- he tii with anything that savors of amiability toward Germany or the rW'ian reople. while the housewives of the ccunt'-v are approaching a ctr-to of revolt ap-aiii3t the idea of making sacrifices for the benefit of fhe German peoples. The other even ing at a runner, Ameri.-a's obligations o help fee I Germany in order to pre vent anarchy in central F.urope was under discussion. A senator was rointirg out that it was purely a nrartical and in no wise a sentimental matter. The Huns must be fed, at least noderately, or they will be come unmanageable and Europe will be threatened with widespread anarch :sni. Whereupon the senator's wife reached for the sugar, took an extra ube. and retorted: Women Not "Weakening" "I don't know much about the eco nomics and sociology of this, but if I have been using one lump of sugar '.''en I wanted two in order that the 'lermnns might get the other I shall now begin taking my second lump. Will everybody please have another !um-i of sugar?" It is declared that every woman at It is declaed that every woman at the table took another lump. When the senator narrated the in cident the next day he concluded by throwing up his hands and demand ing: "What are you going to do about that? If the women get unwilling to save food for fear the Germans will ' c-nefit by it the food isn't goins to be saved." It is just a little incident, but a pretty characteristic one. German propaganda of sympathy cannot pos sibly do any good at this time ani is likely to do much harm. W S S- Wiid Deer in Morgan W. N.

Hon. Theo. K. Kluttz died at his t ome on West Innes street this city Tuesday afternoon at 5:45 o'clock after a long illness of Bright's dis ease. Mr. Rluttz's health began to fail several years ago and after being treated here he was taken to Balti more but efforts there alat) to. restore him to his former good health or give him relief were unavailing and he came home to await the final sum mons,. For several week.-- it was cer tain the end was fast approaching nr.d some days ago he was stricken with paralysis this hastening bis death. At his bedside when the end came were his sons and daughters and other relatives, including a brother, Mr. Altx Kluttz of Chester, S. C, and sister, Mrs. J. F. Griffith, of Salis bury. The funeral will take place Thurs day morning; at 11 o'clock from the Kir3t Presbyterian church of which he was a leading member and in which 'e ' had been an officer for many years. It will be conducted by the pas ior, Rev. Dr. 'Byron Ckrk and the i..terment will be in Chestnut Hill cemetery. Th -odorc Franklin Kluttz was 70 vei!--- old and was a native of Salis bury. His father was sheriff of the county for many years and it was dur ing his imnmbemey in office that youn:r Theodore was born, he seeing the first light of day from his father's ' ome rit the old jail which stood on the site where the present handsome county courthouse now stands. Young Kluttz received his early ed ifnlion in the common schools cf Salisbury and was an apt student and it. was observed by those who watched has career a? a young man that he was destined to become an influential ''rur - in the community. After sttain vr.r '-;s manhood he took up the study of law and graduated and was licensed to practice .opening an office in this i it v. From the very first he began to build u a fine iractice and afterward became one of the leadins; lawyers in v.-estf n North Carolina. A3 a criminal lawyer he had few neers in the state, and he had appeared in defense of the accused in some of the most noted tri:'.l -- in the history of 'Rowan and ad joinircr counties. Few lawyers pos sessed his ability in addressing juries. Mr. Kluttz married Miss Sallie Caldwell, of iStatesville. a sister of the late Joseph V. Caldwell, founder of the Statesville Landmark and for many years editor of the Charlotte Observer. She died several years ago and the grief occasoined by the loss of hii helpmate had never been en tirely nleviated.' Mr. Kl'ittz hail held m.any offices of Irust. bjith political and in the busi ness circles of -Salisbury. For manv 'p:;ri he was read of the Theo. F. Kluttz & Co . drurr house in this city, which at that time was probably the lead';'? drug store in this section of the rtate. Fir three terms he repre sented the eiirhth congressional dis trict ;n the lower house of the na tirnal congress and retired volun tsrilv. refusing to nccept the nomina tion for a fourth term. Tlis last public office .vrs that of iudire of the Rowan County court, and in presiding- over thh trib'wnl he administered justice imuar'wl'y but with a merciful heart. As congreFsnu-.n he ranked hifh and -ps t'.c author .f a number of help ful measures. Mr. Kluttz was a delegate to the N'aUoiial Democratic convention that nominated William J. Bryan for the "-residency the first time aid he made the speech seconding the nomination of th' "hov orator of the Platte." Deceased was interested in a num ber of business and industrial cnter nri'c.j here. He was for a long time oresi'jent of the Davis X: Wiley bmk. i dire?tor in the Salisbury Cotton r-i'lh and in other enterprises. As a public speaker he was one of the best And was almost invariably called on to preside over meeting and intro duce visiting speakers and guests. As an after dinner speaker he was one ef the best and his witticisms always dded ta the enjoyment of any gath ering. His memory was almost fault k'S and he could recall and enumer ate t! ? olden days of Salisbury as r.robnly no other man of his age in t'vs c-unty. He was a student of local bist.ory and took deliiifht in reciting this to the yotnger generations. Mr. Kluttz was a man who could adjust himself to any gathering or any occasion without the slightest preparation. He had welcomed on bo half of the city or varoius organisa toins scores cf convention and associ ation members to this city. He was a leading member of the Royal Arca num and Knights of Pythias, the Hep tasophs and other fraternal organiza tons, and was the oldest member of the Rowan County Bar Association. Personally -Mr. Klutti was one of the most charming men. Pleasant and agreeable, kind and considerate. He always recognized and spoke to all whom he knew, whether intimately or casually, and this characteristic of his had often been pleasantly commented upon. He was not a Vain man in any form and the humblest as well iuTthe high always received the same pleas ant, sociablo and happy greeting from im. He was loved- tor every one who knew him and had the respect and con fidence and esteem .of all. No man was more widely known throughout - tho coanty, in fact he.wa probably .the best nowtrfnan tit tha county, it was a pleasure to know him and to be in his company. One of Mr. Klatta de F.ghts was to tell innocent jokes and thousands cf tone 'he tia dWighted people with anecdote, and many of them were true and deilth with local Rowsn character. He was a man of Arranges Also to Pay Widow of His Victim, Mra. H. W. Kluttz, One Thousand Dollars. TRUE BILL FOR MURDER AGAINST LEWIS POE No Civil Cases Heard and Greater Part of Criminal Cases Contin ued to Next Court. The November term of Rovan Su-1 : perior court was short lived, it having been previously agreed thrt no civil 'ca-es would be heard and only those . criminal cases in which defendants , w e re not under bond were tried. All other cases were continued, and the j work of the court was completed in , 1 half a day. Judge I,ong left this ' morning for his hsme at Statesvil!Q. ! The most interesting case was that against Ed Whitmire, the 17-year-old youth, a brakeman on the Southern ' railway, who went on a shooting tear at the yard office one night several : weeks ago and shot a number of men, ! 1 one of whom, Mr. H. W. Kluttz, a 1 clerk in the yard office, died after wvrd from his injuries. Whitmire en teved a plea of murder in the second j degree and was given 12 years in the ; state prison, This was afterward i changed to five years on condition that he pay to the widow of his vie-, , tint, who has four small children, the su ii of one thousand dollars, and this 'v.ts arranged for. Tho work of the court for the brief term was as follows: 1 Ed. D. Whit mire charged with mur- j i de defendant plead guilty to murder . ;n second degree. Five years in pen it: 'Unary and pay SI. 000.

WASHINGTON LEARNS GLADLY OF MOVEMENT Provisional Government Set Up and General Denekine's Troops Are in Charge of Country. (By Associated Press.) Copenhagen, Nov. 20. The Uk r mian government has been overturn ed and Kiev has been 1 .ptured by trcops from Astrakhan, according t a Kiev dispatch to iSwedish newspa pers. The Ukranian national assembly has fled and a provisional government l.as been established by the captors of the city who apparently are command ed by General Denikine, leader of the . anti-Bolshevist forces. 1 Washington Iearns of Overthrow ; Washington, Nov. 20.- Reports of .the ovethrow of the Ukran'an gov ernment by General Denekine's anti Bolshevist troops was received here ! today with great satisfaction, for offi cials said it will make the work of the ! allies in handling the Russian problem much more simple. , It has been believed for some time General Alexiess, the former Russian icmr.-.pnder-in-chief, had a large force : of Cossacks operating in Astrakiuir, and the news from Ukrania seems to j confirm this as General Denikine is a , member of Alexiess army. General ' Denekine is known to be an able ofi'i ' err who has the confidence of his men and government officials in the allied . countries. I It was po!nel out that with the ; Cossacks, many of whom are Ukrani an.s themselves, in charge it would be easy to reach Russia in Europe wi!h ; supplier pr.d necessary ammunition by way of the Black sea which is now open to the allies.
