C, FRI :CH 24, 1922 NUMBER 11 4M nr irrrTni WEEKS ORDERS RETURN OF TROOPS or(0 Bales of Cotton Burned In Warenouse rire ai uumsuuiu On Sunday Night. CALL STRIKE FOR APRIL 1 Orders directing the return to, the united States by July 1 of all Amer ican troops now on the Rhine were issued on Monday Dy secretary The orders include the return by the end of the fiscal year of the en HrP force of approximately 2,000 men excepted from the previous order of several weeks ago under which the homeward movement of the majority of the American Rhine contingent is now in progress. A formal call for suspension of work bv all union coal miners, issued on Tuesday from the headquarters at Indianapolis, of the United Mine Workers of America, "directs all members of the organization employ ed in and around the anthracite and bituminous coal producing districts to dscontinue work and cease produc tion of coal at midnight, on Friday, March 31, 1922. The suspension, the order added, would continue "until terminated by action of the policy committee of the United Mine Workers of America," and until officers of the 3,000 union locals scattered throughout the coun try have been advised of the commit tee's action. Twenty-six hundred bales' of cot ton, stored in Bobbitt's .Tobacco Warehouse, Goldsboro, were com pletely destroyed by fire Sunday night. The loss on the cotton was estimat ed at $200,000 with $190,000 insur ance, while the warehouse was insur ed for $16,000, which is expected to cover the loss. The cotton was own ed by H. Weil & Bros-,, local -cotton factors, and the warehouse was the property of the Carolina Warehouse Company. The origin of the blaze has not been determined. While the government has "not en tirely" abandoned its efforts to get a settlement in advance of the coal strike called for April 1, particularly in the bituminous fields, and while the Department of Justice is studying possibilities of legal redress in casf danger results to public -peace and welfare, it was learned on Tuesday in White House and cabinet circles that no action is contemplated unless the strike develops. Secretary of Labor Davis, who has presented the government in direct negotiations in the industry, had no comment to make when word of the United Mine Workers' call for sus pension of work on April 1, in both the bituminous and anthracite fields, reached Washington, but Attorney General Daughtery indicated he was inclined to consider that the legal branch of the government might take some steps, particularly in case transportation derangement was oc casioned after the strike was under way. At the White House along with the statement that the effort to bring about a national conference between the employers and the miners in the bituminous industry was still con tinuing, notwithstanding the almost complete refusal of the operators to o-operate, the existence of a great coal surplus was emphasized as a ost important factor. The govern ment's surveys indicated, it was said that with production continuining in non-union fields, the surplus would Prevent any shortage in industry, and should prevent any inflation of coal Prices.

Taylor Offers To Sell Book By Famous Southern Author To Secure Funds. FIGHTS WHITE PLAGUE. Amid the picturesque scenery of Georgia, a girl's beautiful life began. Before her opened a vista that prom ised a life of serene pleasure and brightness; but bereavements and re verses came, and she and her refined, cultured mother, being deprived oi the strong arm that had hitherto sup ported them, were reduced to the ne cessity of laboring for the necessaries of life. About this time, the world became enveloped in a universal war, and a Georgia cotton mill offered Mrs. Wil son and her daughter, Ruth, the surest means of support; and although un accustomed to such labor they threw themselves heroically into the grea battle of life, and during the foui years of the Great War were as much a part of the army of fighters as were che men who wore the khaki. Although slender and fragile this iittle Georgia working girl by the side of her mother fought throueh the Great War with courage and devotion She was fighting for bread and for che means of being of service in the great world of which she found her self a part. In the end she found her self a "casualty," being attacked and strickened down by humanity's great enemy, the White Plague, but she did not surrender. With her accustomed courage, she continued the fight; not now for bread but for life. From the hospital where she sought help, she was soon sent home to die. At this juncture, the attention of Mr. Harry ' Stillwell Edwards, s resi dent of Macon, Ga., and one of the South's most distinguished literary men, was directed to her. His heart was moved with sympathy, and he de termined to give her a chance tor liie Having just lost a daughter, he adopt ed this giri under the title "Sistei Ruth," placed her in Stonehedge San itarium, Asheville, under the care o Dr. Dunn, a distinguished tuberculosis specialist. Mr. Edwards is the writer of many popular little books, which have haa a wide sale. Ift one of his letters tc me he wrote: "I have plenty of land but no money." He, therefore, decidec to write a little book, dedicate it tc Ruth, and sell it for her benefit. The entire proceeds of the book being giver. o her to meet hospital expense. The itle of the book is "Mam'selle Del- phine." The scenes are laid in New Orleans, and the book is intensely in teresting. When Ruth went to the hospital boh lungs and her throat were ser iously involved, and Dr. Dunn did not give Mr. Edwards any encourage ment. rAt the end of about five months, she showed great improve ment. Her throat and her left lung were entirely healed and only her - Continued On Page 8 HEN EGG LOOM LARGE TRIES TO BREAK A RECORD "Lay on McDuff, and damned he he who first cries Hold! Enough!" Having Shakespeare in mind they are "laying on." A few days ago Miss Georgia LaCoste was the proud owner of a "record-breaking;" biddy when eggs were the g oal. The hen was proud and advertised her wares by proclaiming in loud and lusty cackles that she was the cham pion egg producer. But alas! and alack! There are -others that believe in advertising their abilities, and the biddy of Miss LaCoste has a rival in the biddy of Mrs. Tempe Dameron. Mrs. Dameron sends to the office an egg that "lays" the egg of the biddy of Miss LaCoste in the "has-been" class. In this connection it may be well to say that the value of the pro duct of the hens of the United States brings more dollars than the cotton, tobacco, hay, lamb, beef or wool products respec tively. "Lay on McDuff." P. S. It may be that Miss La Coste's biddy is "a-setthV " on her record, and therefore Mrs. Dameron's biddy had an oppor tunity to reach first place on the sly.

CLUB DISCUSSES IRISH IDRAMA The Irish Dramatic Movement re ceived the attention of the Literary department of the olub which met Tuesday with Mrs. R. B. Boyd and Mrs. J. G. Ellis, at Mrs. Boyd's. Mrs. J. D. Palmer gave an inter esting paper on the "Formation of the National Irish Theatre," which grew out of the Irish literary renais sance and has furnished a medium lor the production of true folk drama. Mrs. Edmund White presented a .veil written paper on the writers who contributed to this movement and vho depicted faithfully the comedy and tragedy of the daily life of the irish folk. She discussed Keats, who s primarily a poet, but who never .heless is a great power in the dra natic movement; Lady Gregory, who iS exceedingly skillful in drawing Irish peasant characters, and Singe, "who makes ' the most powerful dra matic appeal, for he is a .realist who is interested not in ideas merely but in human life itself." Singe's powerful one act drama, 'Riders to the Sea," was discussed clearly and forcefully by Miss Gladys jordy. She made her audience feel the deep grief of the peasant mother when her sixth, son met his watery grave. BOYS DOSE DOG; PUBLIC THINKS CANINE IS MAD Quinine, red pepper and tur pentine given a dog here this week to break it from sucking eggs started th'e cry of "mad dog" by those not acquainted with the reason for '. the speed and queer actions of the animal. r Several citizens secured guns and fired at the dog. Mr. Wel don Hall routed the animal from beneath a residence,' putting an end to the chase with a broadside of shot, . Two. boys stayed quiet. The mad dog was a hoax. Barker Williams and a Whittamore boy, with the knowledge of Mrs. Whittemore who had been annoy ed by the canine, prepared a dose that would be calculated to run an animal mad and packed - it down with bread. Like Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer they did not say anything when the chase was on. The true story came out today, but the dog .was dead. "It don't matter," said Mrs. Whittemoore, the cur wasn't any good, anyhow." NORLINA WILL GET COTTON STOMG r Parker Warns Farmers Against Over-cropping Under Co operative Marketing. TRADE BODY 'GIVES LAND Cotton . storage warehouses for Warren County will be located at Norlina if the plans of farmers on Monday are pushed. The township organization of the co-operative cot ton marketing association hstructed a commttee on Monday to accept from the Norlina Board of Trade a deed to seven and a half acres of land bordering the railroad a mile South of the town. The committee went to Norlina with Mr. T. B. Parker of the State Department of Agriculture and accepted the site offered, and the nec essary papers are being prepared for the transfer, a member of the Nor lina Board of Trade said in an inter view yesterday afternoon. "The Board of Trade has made ar rangements to secure from Mr. J. R. Paschall fifteen acres of land and is ready to offer the other seven and a ialf acres whenever the tobacco co operative houses are located. Farm 3rs told us," the Norlina merchant continued, "that they would undoubt idly ask for the remainder of the land is they expected the tobacco ware houses to be placed at the same point." v "We have worked hard and have spent some money" he said "in an sffort to procure these storage facil ities at Norlina and we are gratified at our success." The committee met in the Com missioners room at the Court House on Monday morning with a good rep resentation from all sections of the county. Dr. T. B. Parker of the Agriculture Department made an able address on the folly of the old mark ating system and pointed out in a suc cession of instancies how it had been unprofitable.' ' , ' "We had just as well hang a mill stone about our necks," the agricul- turalist said, "as to over crop under the new plan of co-operative selling. We must plant intelligently and we must stand together for the market ing of our products." Mr. Parker explained that the warehouse could be erected by the iale of stock and with aid from the State under the warehouse law. He stressed the point that he had noth ing to do with the location of ware houses and made it plain that the pro posed warehouse was not to be built by the co-operative association but under the State warehouse system and then it might be leased to the State Co-operative Association. Attorney B. B. Williams asked, "do you not think, Mr. Parker, if 75 per cent, of the cotton is produced South of a line drawn East and West through Warrenton and with the ad vantagesof a water system meaning cheaper insurance rates that it would be wise to locate the warehouses here." Mr. Parker repeated that he was not an authority on location and evad ed the query. He said later that of the three sites he had seen, however, that the upper site at Norlina was more advantageous than either the lower one there or the site at Warren Plains. Warrenton was represented at the meeting only by Attorney B. B. Wil liams, J. D. Palmer and W. Brodie Jones. Others in attendance wero J. C. Brauer, Chm. J. B. Davis, T. B. Fleming, Otto Hecht, J. C. Hecht, R. S. Register, Howard Palmer. J. IL Pinnell, H. G. Limer, R. E. Williams, R. L. Bell, Lucius Hawks, P. M. Stal lings, S. D. Tucker and fifteen to twenty more farmers of Warren. " REV. E, W.
