A VOICE FROM INDIANA A Born Hoosier in the World. New York Is there room in your paper for a "voice from Indiana? There are many of us who have heretofore been rigid Republicans but who .regard the League of Nations, as writ, to be for the nations of the world as great a charter for liberty and public securi ty as our own Constitution has been for our several States in sort, the Wickersham, Hoover, Taft, Root kind of Republican; only we are not indebt ed to the party for offices or special privilege. We learn from the history of our Revolution that our now supersanct Constitution was bitterly opposed by that flaming patriot Patrick Henry of Virginia, the Adamses of Massachu setts and even the John Hancock whose signing of the Declaration has furnished a phrase in current slang, and others of public characters of those days. They all made a great noise then, and great is the noise be ing made by our Harry New and Jim Watson and Will Hays, but the earnest-thinking citizen who so often has burst the confident expectations of politicians and office-seekers in Indi ana and kept it a pivotal State will Put Indiana right in N ovember or I badly miss a guess based upon forty years of voting experience at her JoL's. MARRIAGE BONDS ft will be of interest to our people J have a small smep in the Warren Record set aside for the publication of ailidge bonds entered into in the lar'y days of our County. This mat- er !s of such interest to the present peration that in several Counties 'e Legislature has authorized some r;mPetent person to enter these bonds Poetically in a book for that pur pose. As we said we shall publish a few . nese marriage contracts each week or some months, and trust they will lrove of interest. 1 March 1805.

QUALIFICATION AND RE QUIREMENTS SET FORTH Women Voters Do Not Have To Tell Their Exact Age; Just . State That They Are Twenty one Or Over. Raleigh, N. C. The following infor mation relative to registering and vot ing, given out by Legislative Refer ence Librarian H. M. London, will be of especial interest to prospective women voters througout the State: "All persons not previously regis tered and who expect to vote at the election on November 2nd are requir ed to present themselves in person be fore the registrar of the precinct for registration between September 30th and October 23rd -inclusive. Voters cannot be registered in any other way or manner. They cannot be registered by mail or over the telephone. The registrar of the precinct will be at the polling place on each of the four Sat urdays during the registration period with his books for the purpose of re, istering voters. At other times, he may be found at his residence. "The woman voter is subject to the same conditions and qualifications as apply to the male voter, except that she is not required to pay a poll tax or exhibit a poll tax receipt in order to registerand vote in the coming election. Before registering each woman voter must take the following oath: " 'That she will support the consti tution of the United States and the constitution of the state of North Carolina, not inconsistent therewith; that she has been a resident of the state of North Carolina for two years, of the county for six months and of the precinct in which she proposes to vote six months ; that she is 21 years of age and has not registered for this election in any other precinct.' "The Attorney' General has ruled that the woman voter need not give her exact age, but she must state that she is 21 years of age or over. An act of the extra session of the General Assembly of 1920 defines the residence of a married woman living with her husband to be where her husband re- sidesnd that of a woman living sep arate and apart from her husband to be where she actually resides. "Where a person has moved from one precinct to another precinct in the same county within four months from the election, such person should register and vote at, the old precinct. "At the coming election six boxes will be provided in which the follow ing ballots will be deposited: (1) State officers, including United States Sen ator; (2) member of congress; (3) presidential electors; (4) members of the general assembly and rounty of ficers, and (6) constitutional amend ments. "Under the absentee voters law, any person duly registered who may be absent from the county or physi cally unable to go to the polls for the purpose of voting in person, which fact shall be made to appear by the certificate of a physician or by affida vit, shall be allowed to register and vote upon application to the chairman of the county board of elections, who will furnish the voter ballots ana blank certificates necessary for vot ing." TO CELEBRATE FESTIVAL . On Sunday, October 10, St. Paul's Lutheran Church, of Ridgeway, N. C, will celebrate its . annual "Mission Festival" with German services at 10 a. m. and 3 p. m. and English ser vices at 8 p. m. Prof. W. G. Schw ehn, of Greensboro, N. C, wil occu py the pulpit both at the morning and evening services, and Rev. John Ra bold, the pastor, will preach in the afternoon. All are cordially invited. Frontier Etiquette Fre&h from Boston, the lawyer in the frontier town had just finished a glowing summing up for the defense. There ensued a long, pause and the Easterner turned in some embarrass ment to the judge. "Your honor," he asked, "will you charge the jury?" ' "Oh, no, I guess ot," answered the judge benignantry. "They ain't got much anyway, so I let them keep all they can make on the side." Ameri can Legion Weekly. JTHE- AMERICAN RED CROSSj Eastern I I a I Ik Americans who contribute to the Red Cross would fel atnpt.v reimid for their generosity if they could see what it means to hundreds of thousands of war weary sufferers in the Ialkans. Here is a widowed liomiuiii an mother with her five children just after a visit to a Ited Cross irl.W s;a;ii;n. All are barefoot and the boy at the left is wearing clothes i.:ade of srrans from the battlefields. They have just received winter clothing, food and ondensprt milk for the baty.

I States, like individuals, can profit The strength of the United States by good examples, and North Carolina depends upon the practical patriotism has set an example of intelligent com and sound economic thought of her prehension and efficient development future citizens. These characteristics and utilizatibn of her material re must be developed in the daily life of sources which is worthy 'fo be follow the school; Economists agree that ed by Texas; indeed, by all her sister the universal adoption of habits of in- states of the South. telligent saving will strengthen our nation tremendously. When every wage earner has a reserve fund of money the country will be sound eco nomically, socially and politically. The teacher who encourages pupils to earn money and to invest in Thrift Stamps and War Savigs Stamps is do ing much for their economic strength and practical patriotism. Each child who buys stamps feels a partnership in the government; he learns the wis dom of investing his money in securi ties that are absolutely safe; he be comes familiar in a practical way with compound interest; and as he sticks stamp after stamp upon the card, he has a visual demonstration of how savings grow. Faith without works is dead. Thrift without safe investment such as gov ernment saving securities, is robbed of its benefits. Its virtue lies not only iri its principles but in the actual practice of investment. Each year thousands of boys and girls in the United States are deprived of a col lege education because they lack money. Yon can remedy this situation among your pupils by starting them on the road to saving early in life and encourage them to safeguard these savings in government securities. You are rendering a real service to your country by promoting the sale of these stamps. The burden of war debt is still heavy and the government must still borrow mohey. Add to vour influence as a teacherT Promote w sound economic thought, practical pa triotism and prosperity by encourag ing your pupils in the regular pur chase of Thrift Stamps and War Sav ings Stamps. . . t y t OF OUR TOWN When Folks want Anything Done, they go to J.

M Europe NORTH CAROLINA AN EXAMPLE What she has achieved can not be fully appreciated unless the historical fact be kept in mind that North Caro lina was ravaged and desolated by the invading Northern army in 1865. She had no foundation on which to build except ruins, She faced gaunt, bitter, cruel poverty, and her distress ing condition was intensified by 10 years of oppressive political misrule, marked by debasing corruption and conscienceless, plundering of the peo ple. Then her lands were not comparable in fertility or extent to those of Texas, the soil of which was never touched by the foot of an invading foe. In view of such conditions it is amazing that North Carolina should have moved up from the twenty-second to the fourth place in the value of agricultural products among all the states, and what is, if possible, more wonderful now stands second in the value of textile products and second in the production of tobacco. Every intelligent Texan is obliged to make the humiliating confession that Texas is woefully deficient in the number of the manufacturing establishments. In that respect North Carolina leads the entire South. The traveler is rarely out of sight of a cotton mill, a yarn mill, a veneer mill or a furniture factory, or a to bacco products factory. Some counties have nearly a hun dred mills converting cotton into yarns or cloth, and ip Durham, where there is one of the largest tobacco es tablishments in the world, and there is also an immense hosiery manufac tory. North Carolina spins and weaves more cotton than she produces. Just as in time of war she sent more of her sons to the Confederate army than there were voters in the State. The waters of nearly every river has have been harnessed and made to furnish light and power, often for disitances of 50 miles. She has under one roof the largest furniture factory in the entire South. That there should be one small county in North Carolina more cot ton mills than there are in all Texas is a reproach to the people of this state. There is not an acre of land in the county in which the capital of North Carolina stands that is comparable in productive capacity to nine-tenths of the land in Harris County; yet there is not an acre of land in 'Harris county, five miles from the court house, than can be sold for as much as land 10 miles from the capital of North Carolina can be sold for. The people who have wrought such a work are awake to every interest. J Asheville with 28,000 population pro poses to spend $20,000 on a reunion of the Thirtieth (overseas) Division, and an expenditure of $40,000 a year by her board of trade, much of it for ad vertising, brings tourists enougji to Asheville each season to leave there more than $25,000,000. It will pay Houston and all Texas 1 Mrp&mM i $m&Nm t w til .... J mA PRESIDENT WIL- i SON AND HIS FOES The following clipping from a Cal ifornia newspaper showing the great ness of Wilson is of interest: We appending here a list of the most prominent appointments of Republi cans, and suggest that you tack .it up within the range of your vision, that you may rest your gaze thereon when the next cheap thing comes alonr with the charge that Wilson kept Re publicasn from places of honor and power during the war, to- the end that Uemocratics might "hog" the trough: Woodrow Wilson appointed Genera Jbhn J. Pershing, a Republican, the son-in-law of Senator Warren, a Re publican enemy of the administration, in command of the American Expe ditionary Forces. Admiral Sims, i life-long Republican, in high . com mand of naval operations in the dan ger zone. Howard E. Coffin, Repub lican, in charge of aircraft production; E. R. Stettinius, Repulican, in the War Department in charge of sup plies; Major General Goethals, Repub lican, in charge of shipbuilding; Major General E. H Crowder, Republican, in charge of the draft. Wilson made Republican, General Peyton C. March, chief of staff of the United States army; turned control of the Emergen cy Fleet Corporation over to Charles M. Schwab and Charles Piez, Repub licans. H. P. Davidson, Republican, headed the Red Cross; Frank A. Van aernp, icepuoiican, was piacea m charge of the War Savings Stamp campaign; Harry A. Garfield, Repub lican and son of a Republican. Presi dent, was made Fuel Administrator; Herbert Hoover, Republican, was ap pointed Food Administrator. Of eight members of the War Trade Board Wilson appointed five Republicans, and gave five out of eight places in the Council of National Defense to Republicans. And now, have you ever observed a Republican President or any other President moved to make anything like the above showing? The truth is, that if the President erred at all, he gave, the Republicans too much showing in matter of war posts. They have certainly shown precious little appreciation. The par- tisan assaults which have been made on Wilson exceed in viciousness any thing in the history of the country Well men have never been assailed by partisan foes as vindictively as Presi dent Wilson, seized by a critical ill ness, was attacked. Surely those who honor Wilson and believe in the broad and humane national policies which he has done so much to establish are ready to go to any reasonable limit to see that the country gives its appro val to what he has done with respect to the. greatest question that has con fronted this country since the War Between the States.

John Parker, Republican nomi nee for Governor will address the pub lic on Friday October 15th, 1920, at the Court House, at 11 o'clock a. m.

Last year was 11,329,755 bales. The North Carolina condition is 68 per cent of a normal or full crop, indicating 799,000 bales. Last month's forecast was for 12,783,000 bales. The present prospect is fourteen per cent more than indicated one year ago. The acreage is one per cent greater than last year. The decline in pro duction during September was ap proximately five per cent. Last spring was quite late, more commercial fertilizers than usual were used, the summer nights were cool and August had much rainy weather, resulting in a late crop with some pro' mature opening of bolls. The Sec tember 25th normal yield is 288 pounds lint and the 59 per cent con dition indicates 170 pounds average. The North Carolina condition of 68 per cent, based on a 365 pounds full crop (normal), gives us 248 pounds forecasted yield per acre. The June belt conditions of 62.4 per cent was the lowest on record. The lateness of this state's crop is indicated by the report of only 40 per cent ginned of the average at this season. The North Carolina crop of 1,550, 000 acres, which is two per cent more than the 1919 area, begun with a May 25th condition of 70 per cent, increas ed to 74 in June, 77 in July to 79 in August. This gradual rise contrasted with the decline in other states .from the June report. The North Carolina farmers did not seem to appreciate the effect that the heavy weed growth would have on the fruiting, until the picking was actually begun. The yields fell much short of expectations as evidenced by the September 25th condition of 68 per cent. More than a thousand reputable farmers' reports are the basis for these estimates. The consistency throughout was impres sive. The present forecast is twenty pounds per acre less than last year , yield. Conspicuaus Features Affecting Crop The continued railfall in Auerust favored a heavy weed growth at the expense of fruiting. The shedding has been common since that time. The late August and Sep tember dry weather following the pre ceding1 wet seasons favored shedding. The top crop is very scarce or absent. All through September deterion tion was in evidence. The crop was quite late which is evidenced by the lateness of the picking season and the large percentage of the unopened bolls at the present time. If a late fall follows like that of last year, it will permit of more fruit and its development, which will help considerably. The yields have been very disap pointing and was lowered by the heavy attacks of the boll worms (not weevil) Considerable storm damage in some southern counties. The army worms has done consid erable damage. MARMADUKE ITEMS Mrs. M. C. Davis is spending a few days with her daughter Mrs. John j vt cu at niia wilting.
