v LANDIS, July 9. The little cotton
mill, Tillage at the southern edge of
Kowan county went through another
v. zy ot its first industrial disturbance
without - greater excitement than
rather vociferous picketing of the
two cotton mills this morning, and

tnter the mills in. the morning and
1-save them at night. The situation
l as potentialities of serious trouble
tad the end may be written in blood.
Upwards of seventy-five strikers
r ithered at the entrance of one of
i . a two Linn mills this morning to
' ranzue the operatives when they
i lived for work. Women outnum
l red the men in the picket line, and
xeeded them vastly in their ability
a deride the workers. The picketers
J led up three deep in the middle of
3 street opposite the entrance, the
)men occupying the first and second

lied "scab" at themsangat them.

Officers of the corporation '.that
owns the mills stationed. themselves
at the gates and cautioned the work-

themselves withstood calmly terrific

The situation here is peculiar, and

turtances in the state. ' There are
out four hundred mill workers in

has built up the industry, has known

. Situation Unusual
Five weeks ago, a committee rep
resenting the operatives, asked the
- r- i.nagement of the mill to discharge
I,'ora: Winecoff, an operative, on the
. ground that her-piece work account
was being padded. The company in-
- vestigated, and. discharged both the
woman and the section boss thought
to be responsible for the alleged pad
ding. Angered by this move, the
v entire working force of all three mills
walked out, and "the mills were
closed.
: At the end of four weeks, Mr. Deal
' says, a; majority of the operatives
asked for the mills to resume work,
' ' and it was dote. About two-thirds
of them went back to work, and the
remainder, to picketing. ' : The presi
dent says that most of the picketers
a re ' new . employes, and . undesirable.

with this end Jn view he has started

REHABILITATION

VERY SUCCESSFUL
Men in Many locations, Crip

, Farmers
(By Asoclatd Preaa)
NEW ' YORK, JULY 9. A num
ber of modest little farms operated by
veterans of the world war,' who have
recovered from. shell shock, gas or
wounds, now. dot the states of New
Jersey, Connecticut and ."New York.
The owners of these farms, most of
them'" graduates" of the New ' York
State School of Agriculture at Farm
ingdale, L. I., have been "rehabilita
ted" and are . now making good as
food producers with the same enthu
siasm that took them "over the top"
in France. , r
The transformation of most of
these former .soldiers who selected
farming' from among the subjects of
fered by the Federal. Board for Vo
cational Training in many cases has
been - a . complete metamorphosis of
raiir&ati brakemen,!' plumbers, police
men, mechanics and laborers. " One
recent graduate of the school was a

he- owns a thoroughly up-to-date
place near Toms River, N. J.
Praise for Soldiers.
According to A. A. JohnBon,- direc
tor of the school, there were seventy-1
six federal, board men enrolled in
June and' a number- of these have
since graduated. Director Johnson
was lavish in his praise of what the
soldier , farmers are accomplishing,
declaring; that, not only were they
doing their full share in the economic
program of their country, but "in a
good many cas'es considerably, more
than others . less handicapped by
wounds." He said they were about
equally divided as farm, tractor me
chanics, general - farmers," poultry
raisers and hog breeders.
Archie A. Stone, former . member
of the Minnesota legislature, who is
in charge of the work for the govern
ment; and has, studied the results of
the farm vocational training r plan
said that it is producing results of
adefinite and : permanent character.
The students may have both theory
and practice at Farmingdale 365
days in the year. -

: Michael Leddy, who lost an arm at.
Chateau-Thierry, is specializing in
tractor work, it is said, as any two

A year ago Charles Kupinski, an
other crippled soldier, had never even
ridden in a motor car. Recently, ac
cording to Director Johnson, he re
paired a cracked cylinder in a heavy
farm tractor at a saving of nearly
$200 to the school.

COX STRONGEST
MAN IN THE RACE
KITCHIN THINKS
Believes Democrats Made Wise
Selection in Standard Bearer
For Party
WILL NOT ANTAGONIZE ;
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
Cooper, of v Wilmington, Said To
Be Original Cox Man in
' This State .
(By PARKER R. ANDERSON.)
WASHINGTON, July 9. The
democrats . nominated the strongest
man by more than a million votes
when the San Francisco convention
selected "James M. Cox, ; of: Ohio," as
its standard bearer, in the -opinion of
Claude Kitchin, who left Washington
yesterday with his brother, Governor
W. W. Kitchin. for Pan - Yan, N. Y.,
where they will spend two or three
months vacation. ' ,
In the opinion of the former ma
jority leader of the house the next
house of representatives will be dem
ocratic. : He sees; little hope of 'the
party regaining control of thesenate,
though this more than a probability,
and he i believes Cox has more than
an even chance to win thejresidency
over his : fellow . statesman. Senator
Hardidg. 1 ' . ,
- What Kitchin Thinks. .
"I believe the democrats at San
Francisco selected the strongest can
didate by-more than a million yotes,"
said Mr. Kitchin at his residence in
Mount Pleasant, a Washington su
burb, today," . Cox is a strong man
and the democrats did- the right
thing to nominate him 'for the presi
dency, I believe he has more than an
even chance to win. , " , ;
"I have known Jimmie Cox for. a
long time, I served in the house
with him. .He is an organizer. If
elected he will see to it that demo
crats get the jobs. He will turn out
every radical now in- office and Ap
point democrats in their places. ,
"Cox will have little trouble with
congress. Having served in - that
body he knows that it is impossible
for an executive to control congress
and get away with it; with the pos
sible exception of war times. ; Instead
of antagonizing the congress he will
confer aml-.work with them. In this
way he 'Will-be able to get through
both houses meritorious legislation."
An Original Cox Man.
Thomas E; Cooper, president of the
American Bank and Trust company,
of Wilmington, and, incidentally, the
Penrose of New Hanover , county, is
one of the original Cox men. He has
advocated Cox for. more than a year
and at the state convention he urged
the delegates to look the Ohio gover
nor over carefully before committing
themselves, to any -other candidate. '
While the convention was in ses
sion Cooper sent many .telegrams to
Tar Heel delegates at San Francisco.
Here is one typical of the many jiis
patched to the Pacific Coast: -
"Hon. A. w . Mcbean, Auauonum,
San Francisco: Listen: Why in the
dickens dont you fellows -get on the
wagon with Cox and sweep the coun
try. "The people do not want McAdoo
or tiny administration candidate. Let
North Carolina be the first to join
the Cox Forces. Nominate Co and
you will be doing all North Caro
linians'a true service."
To Publish Names of Those Who
Have Not Paid Their
. Taxes
Sheriff R. B. Lane Is engaged at
this time in getting up a list of the
delinquent tax payers in Craven
county and as soon as this has been
compiled it will be published.
.There are comparatively few
names on the list Sheriff Lane's col
lection having been made very close
