"There is nothing sadder can befall a soul Than to loose faith in God and woman." An old mamy's terse expression of the sentiment oft framed in song anjd story: -Love 'tis a curious thing Its shaped just like a lizard He flings his tail upon his back And crawls into your gizzard." Many in haste, repent at leisure." In these days of H. C. L. there is no leisure; as for repentance 'Oh well, let's change the subject. The American Legion have you joined yet. Why not? That certainly was a coal-hearted strike they were pulling. 74 babies died in Warren county in 1914v from" purely preventable disease.

' COMMON SENSE WARNING The one danger of any period of re construction is not the inventiveness of the human mind throwing into he air new lines cf tLought, novel con ceptions of society for all men to gather by wireless- the danger is in letting go the old before he new is tested. The ship must not be allowed to drift. We must make sure that we have power to take up in the new direction before we let go the anchor. To reject tradition, to despise the warnings of history, and to bo super ior to the limitations of human nature, is to drive without a chart into a Sar agossa sea of water-logged useless ness.

Raleigh, Nov. 10. In asking the farmers and business men of the State for approximately $200,000 to sup port and carry on the movement and Jworkq, the American Cotton Associa tion is asking for ony one cent out of every $1.75 of the fifty million dol lars increase in the valus of the cot ton crop as a result of the Associa tion's efforts during the past year. The $200,000 asked for North Caro lina represents just one cant out of every $6.12 on the total value of the cotton cro pin the State. And these figures are extremely conservative, for they are arived at on a basis of a seven hundred thous and bale crop for the State this year, at a value of only 35 cents per pound. When the Association began work a year ago, cotton vas selling for 25c. Now it is selling for around 40c. leaving a margain of 15c, while the figuree were based on a calculation of only ten cents increase, or a saving of only $35,000,000 to the cotton farm ers of the State. As a matter of fact, at the present price of cotton, the sav ing to the farmers, as a result of the efforts of the Cotton Association, is nearer fifty million dollars. So it will be seen the figures of the first para graph represent and under-estimate rather than an exaggeration. There will be those in every com munity, of course, who will say tne Cotton Association had-nothing to do with the increae in the price of cot ton. The attention of . this class Js called to he fact that' more than a year ago, when the Association began work, "cotton T was slipping down ie scale like a streak of lubricated light- ping, and farmers ,wee thinking of the days when folks would have to be I begged to buy cotton for ten cents a 'pound. Since the organization of the (Association, cotton has been steadily 1 climbing until today it is seling for j more than it has ever sold for since ithe days of th Civil war. Even the most skeptical will have to admit that jsome unusual force has caused this j increase in price. The American Cotton Association aoes not ieei jriai rc is asKing too mucii or that it is asking' more than the farmers and business men of the State should be willing to pay to have the askqs for only one cent out of every $6.12 that will be paid for cotton, or 'one cent out of every $1.75 over and 'above 25 cents per pound being paid for cotton when the Association be gan work. It believes that any busi ness man would jump at a proposition '.where an investment of one cent would bring $1.74 over and aoovt what he has been getting without making this investment. Forty cent cotton is a very elegant 'evidence of th efficiency of the Amer ican Cotton Association. But forty I cent cotton has not come to stay un j less the farmers and business men !join hands with the Cotton Associa tion in the organization of the great lest marketing organization in the world. Warehouses will have to be built they do not build themselves. The Cotton Association is the logical means through which these ware 1 houses will be constructed during the coming year. Crop reports and mar hqet conditions must be furnished the farmers and the Association is the proper body for doing this work. The drive starts on Monday and runs through Saturday. RED CROSS MEETING AT MACON SUNDAY NIGHT A good, number of the people of Macon, and Six Pound township as sembled in the Baptist church in Macon Sunday night to hear a talk on the Red Cross by publicity chair man W.

Baxter deliver a thankqsgiying address this morning at 11 a. m., being the anniversary of the signing of the armistice with the 1 Central Powers. He emphasized the lesson taught by the war," i.e., that; when man rejects Divine help and grace and trusts to his own wisdom and strength he sinks to the level of a brute beast. There will always be wars until man recog nizes that he is the offspring of God. Number 89 TORWSON WFflSFS fl U La Urn m II La . UU DELIVERS SPLENDID AD DRESS TO ASSOCIATION Strong Address Characterized By Veteran Farmer As "The Best Heart To Heart Talk" He Had Ever Heard. Described by one of the veteran farmers of Warren as the "best heart to heart to heart talk to the farmers it had ever been his privilege to hear" Mr. L. S. Tomlinson, member of the Executive committee of the North Carolina Division of the American Cotton Association placed vitally in teresting and constructive thoughts before the county branch here Satur day morning. Mr. Tomlison forcibly pointed out that organization was necessary if the South was to obtain a fair price for cotton. He plead that the farmer consider his labor and the toil of hia family in the cost of production and then be in a position to secure just re muneration for the staple. This was the purpose of the organization and the result alone could be obtained by the farmer intelligently reconizing this medium as his opportunity. A further thought which Mr. Tom linson urged with vigor was the ware house phase of the situation and the fact that the business men and farm ers should cooperate in the construc tion of warehouses as soon as the local organized units of the Associa tion were strong enough to form a co hesive county body. "Not only are we endeavoring to obtain a just price for the- crop of this year but we are to place the entire south on a fairer economic scale with the rest of the country thru this organization," and continuing another line of thought he plead "that the men of the south owe it to their wives and their families to secure 'a good living wage for the product of their labor and should in vest the returns in ; home comforts which should make farm life as at tractive as the life of any city." The sentiment among farmers af ter the meeting was unanimous that the talk would be productive of good results and that Warren was fortun ate in having the situation clearly presented by a man thoroughly con versant with conditions. General regret was expressed that more business men and farmers vr e not present. STRIKING LONGSHOREMEN . , RETURN TO WORK After a strike lasting a month and one day, which caused shipping losses running into millian3 of dollars and which held the coastwise and transat lantic shipping virtually at a stand still in the port of New York, the longshoremen . agreed to return to work yesterday at the old rates of pay. The movement to return to work was led by Richard Butler and was unanimously voted at a meeting of the Special Federal Commission in Tammany "Hall yesterday. The 2000 or 3000 insurgents, led by Mr. Butler, who voted to return to work voted also to ignore what is call ed the "Woolworth award" of the National Adjustment Commission by which they were to get 70 cents an hour and $1.10 for overtime and will return to work at the old rate of 65 cents an hour and $1 for overtime. Mayor Hylan promised the strikers at their meeting yesterday that he woud get them a re-hearing before the National -Adjustment Commis sion, if possible before December 1, the time originally set by the Com mission for re-opening the case. After the meeting ending the strike Mayor Hyland sent a tele gram to Secretary of Labor William B. Wilson which reads in part as fol lows: "This afternoon I appeared at a meeting of the Longshoremen held at Tammany Hall. After addressing the meeting and urging the men to return to work immediately they agreed to do so at the old rates of 65 cents and $1 pending the decision of the Nation al Adjustment Commission upon the application for a rehearsing on the .ward to be made by representatives of the various locals and the Board cf Conciliation composed of Mr. Hughes, Mr. Vaccerelli and myself. The action of "the longshoremen was ir line with the recommendations' (Continued On Eighth Pag)
