LENOIR. N. C. LENOIR NEWS-TOPIC. JUNE 9, 1921 Page Seven OMEN STILL IN MAJORITY IN NORTH CAROLINA In 1920 North Carolina had just 99 more females than males, accord 's to announcement toy the census ureau. The State has more than ' vice as many whites as negroes. The nnouncement was a preliminary tatement, and follows: "The total population of the State, ,559,123, comprises 1,279,062 males ad 1,280,061 females. The corre ponding figures for 1910 'were as ollows: Total, 2,206,287; males, ,098,476; females, 1,107,811. Dur ng the decade the total population ncreased by 16 per cent, the male opulation by 16.4 per cent and the emale population by 15.5 per cent rhe ratio of males to females in 1920 vas 99.9 to 100 as against 99.2 to 00 in 1910. "The distribution of the popula tion, according to color or race, in 1920 was as follows: White, 1,783, 779; negro, 763,407; Indian, 11,924; Chinese, 88; Japanese, 24; Hindu, 1. Hie corresponding figures for 1910 were: White. 1.500.511: nesiw. 697.- 543 ; Indian, 7,851; Chinese,TS0; Jap inese, 24; Hindu, 1. During the dec ide the white population increased y 9.4 per cent. lhe loreign-born white popula ion numbered 7,099 in 1920, as against 5,942 in 1910. This element onstituted 3-10 of 1 per cent of. the Ota nonnlntinn in hnth 1920 and MlO." MOSCOW IS SAID TO BE NEAR STARVATION Moscow, Russia, is near starvation, t is said in reports from that city, be cause the peasants are refusing to 11 their corn and are keeping it for -iAed. The decree issued by the bol- feheviki government restoring free- torn does not seem to have removed The menace of a food shortage. Governmental commissions sent to piearby villages to purchase corn are Faia to nave returned empty-handed, and the hope entertained by the so viet government that it might obtain a supply of four from the Caucasus fias vanished, as several million poods i corn have been destroyed bv re- Ibellius elements of the Caucasus re- n. Workers are leaving Moscow to iiunt for food in the villages. A Iponnd of bread sold for 1,800 rubles hwo weeks ago and it is declared the price now is 3,000 rubles. Sugar is selling at 10,000 rubles a pound. Kremlin, the. historic castle in Moscow and present seat of the soviet commissioners, is said to be the only place in Kussia where hunger is not known. The high officials import arge quantities of food for their own use twice a week by couriers from Letvia and Lsthonia. These shipments are made in the guise of diplomatic baggage and sometimes amount to whole carloads. WILL MARK THE GRAVES OF ALL SOLDIERS A headstone or marker will be provided for every American who was killed or died from sickness while in the service during the world war. Many North Carolinians have written to members of Congress ask ing about this matter. In answer to ta letter from W. S. Refch of Eikln n this subject Senator Simmons aid: I "The war department is now au thorized by law to take this action and in every case where the family the dead soldier will apply to the secretary of war for it the depart ment will furnish a fine quality of granite headstone for the soldier's grave. "The denartment will do this not folly in the case of the graves of the soldiers who gave their lives in bat tle, but a headstone will also be fur nished upon application for the graves of any soldiers who died of disease either before or after dis charge from the service. "I am sure that you will be pleased to learn these facts, and I nope that you will give them as wide a circulation as practicable among . nor nponlp. ' 'i. "I hope that not a single grave of our gallant North Carolina soldiers i will be left unmarked and that appli- cations be made in every instance ! where the graves have not already 'been properly marked by the rela i tives." HEINIE, SERGEANT, IS FIRST OFFICER CONVICTED ' Sergeant Heine, accused of having 11-treated British soldiers who were i prisoners of war at the prison camp "at Herne, Westphalia, was sentenced to ten months' .imprisonment by the high court at Leipsic last week. He was the first German officer to be J tried on criminal charges arising frm the conduct of the. war. The attorney general demanded Heine be ' sent to prison for two years. ' The next case to be tried will be I that of Capt. Mueller, who was ac f cured of ill-treating British soldiers at the camp at Karlsruhe. ts i TELEPHONE USERS HAVE RIGHT jp & TO "CUSS" ONCE Telephone subscribers have a rterht to use abusive language at least once to telephone operators when connec tions are not satisfactory. The. State public service commission of Mis souri has so ruled in ordering the Carlow Telephone Company to re ttore service pn a telephone removed following an altercation with a cen tral operator. In making the ruling the commission stated that a single instance of use of abusive language was not grounds "for discontinuance of service.

FLOOD IN COLORADO CAUSES IMMENSE LOSS OF LIFE Flood waters of the Aarkansas river swept through Pueblo, Col., last Friday night and Saturday and caused deaths that may total 500 and property damage in excess of ? 10,000,000, according to the frag mentary reports that could be gath ered as the flood receded Morgues were opened in different parts of the city and by mid-after noon 132 bodies had been recovered The entire eastern and southern sec tions were cut off from the business section. The whole business portion of Pu eblo was under six to eight feet of water Saturday afternoon, but by aiternoon the flood began to recede. disclosing a scene of devastation. The railroad yards were left filled with mud-covered debris and broken and overturned equipment, carrying the damages to more than a million dollars. Business houses inside and out were covered with the same slimy mud, and in imany cases even brick buildings were undermined and wrecked. Frame buildings in the path of the flood were swept away, in many cases carrying their inhabi tants with them. While flood warn ings had been given before dark Fri day night, many persons did not heed them and to this is ascribed a goodly part of the death loss. Thousands of Mexicans with pos session son their backs were wander ing through the city with nothing to eat and no place to sleep. No gas or drinking water were available. FEDERAL AID ROAD MILEAGE WOULD ENCIRCLE GLOBE The mileage of Federal aid roads which have been built or are now under construction is nearly sufficient to encircle the globe. This is the record of work accomplished since July, 1916, when the Federal gov ernment first stepped in to aid in the enormous task of building highways that are now called upon to carry more than 9,000,000 motor vehicles plus a substantial horse-drawn traf fic. The Federal aid law is well named. The department of garicul ture has given th ebroadest possible construction to the law for the pur pose of providing the greatest mile age of highways suited to the traf fic to be carried over them, at the minimum expense. An analysis of the projects under contract shows that all types of roads from the graded earth road up to the finest paved sur faces have been built. In March of this year 22030 miles of hihgways, extending into every States, had been completed or were in process of construction, at a total estimated cost of $361,946,863. IN MEMORIAM T. B. Knight was born April, 1848, and died April 8, 1921, being 72 years old. He was born in King's Creek township, Caldwell county, N. C, He joined the church in early life and lived a noble and consistent life. He married Miss Jane Barlow, who still survives him. To this union were born two children, one son, Mr. S. M. Knight, and one daughter, Mrs. L. L. Carlton, both of Boomer, N. C. He joined the fraternal order of Odd Fellows in East Tennessee in 1906, and when th Beaver Creek lodge, No. 386, was organized he was a charter member. He was ever thoughtful for the welfare of others and always doing what he could to csatter sunshine for all who were about him. He was a kind father, an affectionate husband, an excel len tieighbor, a friend in need.' He loved his fellow man, he always spoke the truth, and if he had an enemy none, of us knew it. When the sum mons came he passed away without even the family having any knowl edge of his going. In his death the lodge most keenly feels this loss, and ou rhearts go out to the bereaved family in deep sympathy. Therefore, be it resolved, First, that we bow in submission to the will of our Heavenly Father. Second, that a copy of these, reso lutions be spread on the minutes of our lodge, a copy be sent to the North Carolina Odd Fellow, a copy to the bereaved family and a copy to the Lenoir News-Topic. Done by order of the lodge, this May 21, 1921. W. F. JARVIS, C. W. PENNELL, H. G. BARLOW, Committee. THE HEAVY COST OF WAR (New York Evening Post) Of every dollar paid in Federal in come tax the government will be compelled to spend 93 cents to cover the expenses of past wars and to pre pare for possible future wars. We would like every citizen to paste that statement inside his hat (or in case of the ladies, inside those little handbags), and ask himself, ev ery now and then, whether war is ten times as important, enjoyable and satisfactory as all the other business of mankind put together. A single crow destroys 700,000 in sects a year.

Knabe Wareroom 209-211 W. Trad. St CHARLOTTE, N. C. PLAN A SALES TAX TO SUCCEED INCOME TAX Belief that advocates of a general sales tax plan ultimately to make the consumption tax pay the way of the government was expressed by Dr. Fairchild, professor of political econ omy at Yale University, says a dis patch from Washington. He declared the issue raised was whether the sales tax could supplant the income tax as the chief burton bearer. Chairman Penrose declared that so far as he knew the income tax has come to stay. Senator LaFollette, Republican, of Wisconsin, took issue with Mr. Penrose, saying he felt "we had reached the beginning of the end of the income tax when a sales tax is discussed." Mr. Rairchilds proposed as a part of the tax policy adoption of a consti tutional amendment permitting the States to tax Federal securities and permitting the Federal government to tax issues. A newspaper announced the death of Elmer R. Jones, who, it turned out, was not dead. Next day the pa per printed the following note: "Yes terday we were the first newspaper to publish the news of the death of Elmer R. Jones. Today we are first to deny the report. The Morning Star is always in the lead." Mil A I lAVH lfjr Thf&mm iriMe NOTICE North Carolina, Caldwell County.
