FARMERS LOSE BY
BIG FREIGHT RATES
Harding Gives Personal Consid
eration to Coal Strike; Le
gion Observes May 14.
HENRY P. DAVISON DIES
Dr. Milton Whitney, chief of the
soils bureau, agricultural department,
told the Senate agriculture . committee
recently how the Government's nitrate
and water power projects at Muscle
SRoals could be used to save the far
mers of the country more than $16,
000.000 a year in freight rates paid
on fertilizer shipments from the man
ufacturers to the consumers. The
scheme to affect that saving and di
rectly reduce the cost price of soil
feeds to the farmers, Dr. Whitney
said, was practical and could be oper
ated successfully at Muscle Shoals.
The annual average supply of fer
tilizers, Dr. Whitney explained, was
8,000,000 tons, although that amount
had decreased to about 7,000,000 m
1919 to 7,654,000 in 1920 and 4,500,
000 tons in 1921, because of depressed
agricultural conditions. The 1919 cost
was estimated at $225,000,000.
"The farmers paid freight rates on
this tonnage each year," Dr. Whit
ney said, adding that in some products
the filler material amounted to 83 per
cent of the bulk commodities and were
worthless as soil foods.
In a ton of fertilizer made accord
ing to the 8-2-3 formula used exten
sively by the cotton growers of the
South, the doctor said the filler
amounted to 1,750 pounds to the ton,
"Is it practical to make concentrat
ed fertilizers at Muscle Shoals?" the
chairman asked.
"It is practical," Dr. Whitney re
plied. "They could make and ship to
the farmers who could add the filler
and mix the fertilizers on the ground."
Dr. Whitney estimated that more
than $16,000,000 could be saved in a
year in freight rates on 8,000,000
tons of fertilizers by eliminating the
filler materials at the factory and
shipping the concentrated ' forms to
the farmers. Sand and cotton seed
meals are two of the most common
fillers used.
President Harding gave his personal
consideration to the national coal
strike recently when he conferred at
the executive offices for two hours
with John L. Lewis, President of the
United Mine Workers of America and
Secretary Davis of the Department of
Labor. At the conclusion of the con
ference, Mr. Lewis, with the appro
val of Secretary Davis, said the dis
cussion had been upon "certain funda
mental conditions in the industry," but
beyond this nothing could be said.
The strike, from the union stand
point, he added,' was "developing nor
mally and without break."

WARRENTON, COUNTY OF WARREN,
MOTHER'S DAY TO
BE OBSERVED ON 14
Idea Has Steadily Grown In Pop
ularity Since 1908 When
First Widely Followed.
ORIGINATED BY A WOMAN
By MRS. STEPHEN W ROSE
Mother's Day will be observed on
Sunday by an increasing ' number of
persons throughout the country. It is
a day set apart for thoughts of moth
ers, for letters to her, for addresses
and sermons about her, and the flower
of the day is a white carnation.
Mother's Day, as atime of special
observance, has had a most rapid
growth.lt was in 1908 that it was
first observed tp, any extent and since
that time the idea has spread rapid
ly, in many States and Cities the day
being se.t aside by official proclam
ation. The idea is one so beautiful that
it took deep hold on the people' and
the increasing interest in it is proof
that it is a yearly event and that it
has come to stay. The idea of
"Mother's Day" originated with Miss
Anna Jarvis of Philidelphia. It was
her desire to commemorate the an
niversary of her mother's death that
brought forth the greater commem
oration for all mothers on a given day
each year. It was not only the thought
of laying some flowers on mother's
S'ayc, UUI 11 UCCUIieU IU lit!! LllHh 11
would be a beautiful tribute to all mo
thers, the living as well as the dead if
their children on a given day, would
unite in the simple wearing of white
flowers.
She wrote a letter about it to a Phil
adelphia paper and from that publica
tion the idea spread rapidly. Miss Jar
vis suggested as the flower to be
worn on that day in memory of mo
ther's gone the white carnation. Its
whiteness, stands for purity; its form,
baut.iits.-, fragrance- lav Jts" v.-widf"
field of growth, charity; its lasting
qualities, faithfulness all a true mo
ther's attributes. The idea finally de
veloped into wearing white flowers
for mothers gone and pink flowers for
mothers liying.
Only in Eternity will it be revealed
the mighty influence wielded by those
immortal lines of Rudyard Kipling:
If I were hanging on the highest tree,
Mother o mine,
I know whose love would follow me,
Mother o' mine, Oh, mother o' mine
If I were drowned ii the deepest sea,
Mother o mine,
I know whose tears would come down
to me,
Mother o' mine, oh, mother o' mine.
If I were damned of body and soul,
Mother o' mine,
I know whose prayers would make me
whole,
Mother o' mine, oh, mother o' mine

SUBMITS PLATFORM
TO COUNTY VOTERS
Mr. Paschall Declares For Mora!
government and No Whis-
key By Any Officer.
"LIMIT OFFICE TO YEARS"
To the Editors:
Some time ago, I said in an article
that I thought each candidate for a
county office should have a platform
so that the electors could vote intel
ligently.
On April 3rd at a meeting in the
town of Warrenton, I was unexpect
edly nominated for the Legislature.
I felt at first that I could not accept
this nomination as Ihad never had any
desire for an office of any kind. But
I have always been very much inter
ested in the welfare of my county.
I felt that my first duty was to my
home and the community in which I
live, and I can truthfully say that it
was with much hesitation and consid
eration that I have accepted this nom
ination.
I will leave it to the people of the
county to elect me if they, want me,
for I have neither time nor inclina
tion to canvass the county in my behalf-
Below you will find my plat
form' and I will appreciate the ef
forts made to give me this office. I
assure you if I am elected that I will
do my very best to serve the people
in the best way possible.
My platform is this:
I want every office in Warren
County filled with men or women who
feel a moral interest in the county and
will enforce both State and county
laws.
"I am in favor of a public investiga
tion of every office in the Courthouse
once each year, and the report of the
investigation published in the county
paper, v
"I am v in favor of a county budget
tafiice-txes--. Iovk. a-s'-.-can;'.-be; con-
jsistent with good government
"I am in favor of abolishing any
office that is not consistent with good
government.
"I am in favor of a law to recall
any officer of Warren County who
uses intoxicating liquors of any kind.
A man may have good qualities, but if
he uses whiskey in any form this
should disqualify him for office.
"I am not in favor of any county
officer holding an office longer than
eight years in succession. After he
has been out for two years he may en
ter the primary again if he so so de
sires. (This however, does not in
clude the county superintendent of
public instruction).
"I believe that the rural districts
are carrying the burden of taxation.
I believe there are many tax dodgers
in the county who ought to be looked
after. I don't believe we should have
a different rate in Nutbush Township
from that of Warrenton or any other
township for school purposes or roads.
As Warrenton is the county-seat and
draws it support from the county it
owes in return to the rural districts
its assistance in building up its weak
points in schools and roads, and until
this is done we will not have a county
of which we may be justly proud.
'United we stand; divided we fall.'
This saying is as true in this instance
as it was in the day it was uttered in
regard to the colonies obtaining their
freedom from England."
Now, you have before you some of
the principles for which I stand. If
they meet with your approval I will
appreciate your support. If , I am
elected, I promise you that I shall
stand by these principles even though
I may stand alone. I do not want to
be misunderstood on any point and
will be pleased to answer any ques
tion which you see fit to ask of me.
I hope every person in the county
that can endorse these principles will
put their "shoulder to the wheel," and
let's- put them over in the June
Primary. N. H. PASCHALL.

. Memorial services will be held at
Fairview Cemetery on Sunday after
noon at 5 o'clock, Mrs. Frank Allen,
Secretary' of tneX5aughters of "the
Confederacy, said yesterday.
W. Brodie Jones and other speak
ers of the town will make a few re
marks, Mrs. Allen announced.

ercies on Mother's Day assures us, the
Secretary added, that many persons
will drive to Fairview to place flow
ers upon graves and to pay tribute

MR. H. F. JONES PAYS TRIBUTE
TO MEMORY OF CYRUS GREEN.
The friends of Cyrus Green, an old
and highly respected colored citizen,
regret to learn of his death at his
home here on Friday, May 5.
His remains were taken to the town
cemetery on Sunday and laid away in
the presence of a large number ol
friends many of his white friends
sending flowers.
The old "landmarks" among both
races are rapidly passing away. Let
us hope that their descendants will
strive to cultivate that kind feeling;
and good will between the ' races that
Cyrus Green always cultivated.
A self-respecting-and respected col
ored man of the old school has gone.
We do not doubt that he has heard
his Master say, "Well done, good and
faithful servant, enter thou into the
joys of thy Lord," for he served Him,
and his fellowman faithfully on earth.

BUSINESS MEN ASH
FOR WAREHOUS
Say That' They Are Friendly To
ward the Success of the
Co-operative System.
S. J. SATTERWHITE SIGNS UP
Warrenton business men met Assis
tant Warehouse Director J. R. Haymes
of South Boston here yesterday morn
ing in the director's room of the Bank
of Warren in an effort to secure the
location of the tobacco receiving sta
tion for the town.
The business men endorsed the co
operative plan, asked for the location
of the warehouses and promised their
encouragement and support to the
organized effort to sell.
Several men expressed surprise
when told by W. Brodie Jones, who
presided, of the attitude some farm-
ers naci toward the town's lack of ex
pressed interest in co-operative selling
of cotton and tobacco.
Business men present said that the
farmer meetings which they had not
attended were held on Saturdays and
it was practically impossible for them
to be present. Every business man
said that he had not been approached
by the committee appointed by 'the
farmers to canvass Warrenton for co
operative sentiment some weeks ago.
Mr. B. B. Williams confirmed tho
report of Mr. Jones as to the way
farmers felt toward the town, and the
motion was carried that the business
men assembled express in an adver-
tismeent in The Warren Record of this
week their endorsement of the co
operative plan and extend an invita
tion for the tobacco .warehouse to be
located here.
Mr. W. H. Dameron said that the
movement was the greatest which had
ever touched the Southland he was
enthusiastic in commending it. G. B.
Gregory, Cashier of the Bank of War
ren, J.G. Ellis, B. B. Williams, Dr. G.
H. Macon and others expressed them
selves strongly in favor of a new
marketing system.
Mr. J. J. Tarwater, who has offered
his warehouse to the Association, was
one of those much interested yester
day. Mr. W. G. Rogers, proprietor of
the Center Warehouse, signed the peti
tion endorsing the plan and inviting
the location of the receiving stations,
but said late yesterday afternoon that
he intended to operate his warehouse
this year for the sale of tobacco at
auction. The Tri-State Tobacco As
sociation has been in negotiation with
Mr. Rogers; but no terms had been
agreed upon yesterday.
Mr. Haymes was accompanied by
Mr. G. W. Knott of Henderson. These
gentlemen did not promise Warren
ton the receiving stations but reviewed
sentiment and told that the point of
location would be made within the
next few days.
S. J. Satterwhite Signs 145,000.
Sam J. Satterwhite, well and fav
orably known, over Wrarren County,
yesterday pledged to sell 145,000
pounds of tobacco through the pool,
according to Field Service Man L. D.
Morrill who was here yesterday. Ano
ther Targe producer is expected to sign
within a few days, he said.
Mr. Morrill and Mr. E. D. McDowell,
his assistant, are making Norlina
headquarters in an intensive campaign
for more signatures to contracts by
Warren County farmers.
Chamber of Commerce to Meet.
There will be a meeting of the War
renton Chamber of Commerce tonight
