SHOWING THE VISCOUNT IN TRI E LIGHT. I Viscount Birkenhead, who is in the Uni:i-d States making a series of speech es, sfart|e<l off rather badly when, in his first address, lie criticised the efforts of Woodrow Wilson to bring übout world peace. Wide publicity was naturally giv en to the Viscount's address, and the re action has been world-wide. In the United States there lias been severe censure of the Englishman for his efforts to place the efforts of Mr. Wil son in the wrong light. A request has been made that the Viscount either be told that he cannot deliver his scheduled address before the bankers convention or that he cannot use his address to make further statements of criticism against loyal Americans. And ill London, the home of the Vis count, he is more severely criticised than in the United States. seems that in England he is really known, and for that reason the press there deals with him openly and harshly. The London papers carried tile following editorials in re gard to the Viscount's address: The Morning Post asserts that "the effect of Birkenhead’s injudicial remark is to confirm the isolationists in the wis dom of their policy of turning their backs on Europe." In an editorial headed "L'Enfant Terri ble Abroad.” the Daily News says that Che British do not like the American tariff laws, but would welcome an almost prohibitive tariff on the importation of former members of the British cabinets, and rigid customs examinations of the contents of their lecture tour portfolios.” The Westminster Gazette hopes that undue importance will not be attached to ‘'Birkenhead's words, asserting that there are few politicians in Great Britain to day who now speak so exclusively for themselves as does Birkenhead. The Westminster Gazette points out the unfairness of argiiing that Woodrow Wilson is the agent of post-war condi tions. The Daily Herald, the labor newspa per, offers an apology for the ex-chancel lor, saying "lie has long been regarded as a national nuisance and has now be- i come an international danger.” There are many people, of course, who did not agree with Woodrow Wilson in all of his policies, but there are few peo ple who hold the same view of Viscount Birkenhead—that Mr. Wilson was not really seeking world peace. Such ut terances are not called for, especially from a man living in England, and the edi torial suggestion of The Daily News, that a prohibitive tariff be placed on the importation of former members of British cabinets who would visit the United States, seems a good one. .!—v-u— ■ art" THERE CANNOT BE A STRIKE. Governor Pinchot, acting as a govern ment mediator to avert the threatened anthracite strike, in his first conference with the miners and operators, indicates that the Federal government is ready to take drastic action to avert the strike. In his prepared speech which was read at the first conference with the leaedrs on both sides. Mr. Pinchot is reported to have told them bluntly that the strike must not be called. That should bring results. So far as the public generally has been able to learn, there is no just reason why the miners and openators cannot agree, and the; Federal goVerumept would be within its rights 1 to do anything to keep the k miners at work. And there will be no strike if the min ers and the government will act to pre vent it. The utterances of Governor I*ineb<* %****<! tbgt »«<■* getion will taken, and there is every reason to P* . lievn that hp bus»<*l*e method* in' dealing with the question will bring re sults. The scales committee of the min ers: holding the right to withdraw the strike order, has been meeting in Harris burg at the same time the miners’ com mittee met with the Governor. This seems to indicate that the miners real ize they may have to change their minds in regard to the strike, and they want to be ready to call off the strike at a min ute's notice. The public will not put up with strikes as willingly as it once did. In this in stance neither the miners nor the oper ators haveipshown where the strike is necessary, and the government will have the full support of the people in any ac tion it takes to keep the mines in opera tion.

Forty-Two Years Without a Shut Down or I,abor Dispute. Manufacturers Record. More than forty-two years of success ful operation, during which there lias : never been any labor trouble, is one of ' the outstanding facts in the history of the Pelzer Manufacturing Company, of South Carolina. That speaks highly for the management and highly for the in telligence of the employes, hut the spirit which has been hack of the management and highly for the intelligence of the employes, but the spirit which lias been back of the management in this remark abl achiee achievement is indicated in otic of the statements made by President Ellison A. Smytlie in a letter to the stock holders of the Pelzer Manufacturing Company regarding the proposed sale of stock of that company. Mr. Smytlie pays high tribute to the directors and to the loyal help and assistance given to him by the officers of the company and the whole corps of employes and then he adds this remarkable statement, worthy to be studied by every manufacturer in this country : "There are no better people, taken as a whole, in tile world than the employes of the Pelzer Manufacturing Company During the forty odd years the Pelzer Mills have been in operation there has never been any running on short time or curtailment of operation due to the de pressed condition of tile goods market, or the necessity of piling up goods in ware houses waiting for a market. The ob . ligation has been held that having invit ed people to move to the Pelzer village, employment should be given, regardless of whether the continued operation oT the mills was to the best interest of the corporation or not. This fact lias 1 been appreciated by unr employes and no labor troubles have ever occurred at Pel . zer." Beginning in 1880 with a capital of 400.000. over-subscribed by Charleston people, • the Pelzer Company increased its capital in 1888 to SOOO,OOO and in ISO!) to $i .000.00(1, tfhe last increase of ■ S4OO.(MX) being placed by the stoekhold > ers at $125 per a total ' investment on the part mUthe stockhold . ers of $1.100.000. During these forty ' two years cash dividends aggregating s•’’>.- 811.087.50 and stock dividends of $2,- 000.000 hpve been paid to the stookliold '< ers. The property is now sold for $!).- r 000.000 and Mr. Smytlie adds "which I trust will be satisfactory to all the stock t holders." Any stockholder who is not j. more than satisfied with 'such a record as that ought to be forever debarred from having- a profitable investment of any kind. The Bargain Hunter. A microscopic youth, with a penny clutched firmly in his moist hand, stood on tiptoe in front of a candy counter, inspecting the goods. Nothing seemed to please him and finally the clerk, in exasperation, said!" "See here, young fellow, do you want to buy the whole world with a fence around it for a penny.” The prospective purchaser meditated a moment .and then replied : “Let's see it.” • v -| A-— r - -- . . r ii i ■ si iiAi !■■*» gr in gin £UP EM II * 5 *■** A Tad^. • i ~ 1 "■ » • ’ j ~ ** il 11 " ' __ Jk' She -»■ •1. ■ SCAELED CAT-' "SS &UT Hjy MOTHER 0 J AH U.ATS - ] 'TU&v, k AWBOt-ANCC w - • Smatter?_ &WD I€ f .

After a very careful study of economic and political conditions in England, meet ing. there in the most iutiimiti way a i number of the foremost bankers of Lou don and discussing with the European situation, Mr. Frank Gould, Vice-Presi dent of the Manufacturers Record, went to Erauce and., at the suggestion of the American Embassy and of high offi cials in France, made a tour of the Ruhr District and studied from every angle the situation in France and in the Ruhr. In France he found everybody at work. He writes in a personal letter that he lias been tremendously impressed with the energy and activity of the French people, young and old, male and female. In England he found depression, unem ployment. a constant cry of high taxes, and pessimism, with no definite plan nor definite suggestion ns to liow the Euro pean situation could be cleared up. In France he found a spirit of energy and optimism everywhere and nobody com plaining of taxes, and a definite plan for the occupation of the Ruhr until Germany is brought to its senses and makes payment of reparations. France Knows Germany as .no other country ill the world does. It knows the rottenness of German official life in the past as in the preseut. It knows that ; the whole scheme of selling marks throughout the world was for the pur pose of robbing the world, to acquire vast profit to individual German indus trial leaders and bankers. It knows that the German government at the pres ent time is maintaining the unemployed labor in the Ruhr District, which is un employed because Germany insists upon what it calls "passive resistance.” These are some phases of things in Eu rope which he has seen aud heard which Mr. Gould presents in this issue ill an interestiug letter which we have headed. "Why Not Trust France?" It will be followed by other“letters covering some other points on European conditions. GOVERNOR TO NEW YORK TO SELL STAT’S BONDS Will Return to Raleigh Tonight After Summer Vacation in the Carolina Mountains. Raleigh. Aug. JJ4. —Governor Morrison is expected to return to the capital for the winter Saturday night. He and Treasurer Ben Lacy 'may go to New York next week to undertake the sale of $5,000,(MM) in bonds authorized at the meeting of the governor aud council -of state last Saturday. During tlie summer's absence of Gov ernor Morrison, Secretary of State IV. X. Everett has been the chief of admin istrative iiffnirsju Raleigh. No mem ber of offici»l«t*TiW>«u>utaii(ls greater con fidence and . respect titan Mr. Everett, and he has proved to be the counsellor, sympathizer, barometer and general mainstay of officialdom. Among the people of the state he is tremendously popular and among those closer up. with whom he is associated with day by diy. that popularity is an entluisisatie a sy'among the people gen erally. One /liing that all elements of politics about) Raleigh agree upon is that GovernqM Morrison did one of the finest things of his administration when ! he appointed Mr. Everett secretary of : state. Rev. \V, 11. Causey to Leave Salisbury. Salisbury Post, 27th. Rev. W. H. Causey yesterday com pleted his pastorate of the First Re formed Church in this city, having ten tered liis resignation some weeks ago. He, with his family, will return to Vir ginia this week find he will be located near Woodstock, having come to Salis bury from the latter place last Decern* Tber Ist to take npdiis work here as suc cessor to Rev. C. C. Wagoner, who went to the Newton church. Rev. Mr. Causey, who returns to the mountain section of Virginia in the in terest of the hedltli of his family, was no stranger in Rowan, having served other Reformed churches in this county some yeaers ago. He had endeared himself to all who knew him and it is with regret that the' members of his church give him up. He is one of the strong ministers of his .church in section of the country. The congregation of the First Re formed Church lias not yet secured a pastor to seueceed Ret*. Mr. Causey. Several ministers are being considered and it is likely that a call will be ex-,, tended one of these within a short time. In the meantime arrangements will be made for services every Sunday. Greensboro Dentist is Placed in Padded " Cell. _ Greensboro. Aug. 27. —Dr, H. D. I Stembridge. of this city, dentist, was to day placed in a padded cell in county jail here, after he had made an attempt to butt his brains out against the walls nf a cell In the city jail, where he had beeu placed on charge of drunkenness. It took three policemen to take the man through the corridors of the courthouse to jail as he kicked and cursed them. Hay is now being made in many parte of England by means of an electric fan which dries the grass, which is cut and stacked while still* green. 1 BUSINESS AND THE OUTLOOK Philadelphia Record. - ' The present week assumes a place of ( importance in the business calendar of the year. The round-up in the coal j situation comes today at Harrisburg, j with Governor Pincho as the President's mediator; the way seems open for a \ recognition of the Obrogon government in Mexico, to be preceded by the begin ning of the liquidation of the old Mex ican debts in accordance with the ar rangements entered into by the interna tional committee of bankers; announee luent will be made, probably, of the ; plans of the United States 'treasury for additional national financing, a subject . that lias had Secretary Mellon’s ntten- | riori since he returned from abroad.

While the | expansion has not beAi great, and not By ' any means general, and some industries , report inroads on banked-up orders, there is, nevertheless, enough doiug in * various lines to show that the corner , was turned a few weeks ago. Cotmnod- i ity prices appear to have held all the | gains shown last week: farm products, live stock and cojton goods have, in deed, bettered the showing of strength i made then, and iron and steel prices sltow the fewest aud smallest variations Cabarrus Savings Bank ER.VE US fcOM THE lEST KIND OF Service) service;; wmrnmmm Any hopes of quicker profits will never swerve us from our intentions to give to tbe public the kind of dependable plumbing service to whfch they are entitled.

With the advance j toward autumn, increasing /Interest in | prospective future requirements is being shown in different channels, and there |is expectation of a more general revival of activities after the present seasonal restraints have been removed. The steel market has passed through the dullness of July and August without a break iu prices. Steel production is from lu to 15 per cent, under the April i peak. The change from the 12-hour to tlie 8-hour basis is progressing satisfac , torily. The textile trades showed something of an improvement, but they are still con siderably less than normal. Interest centers in the government cotton esti mnte of August 25th, which will be made public late in the week.. Cotton goods were in fair demand, ami demand for silks slightly increased. Stocks are admittedly low, so that a broadening of I haying is looked for soon after Labor Day. * The market iu raw wool con ■ tinues narrow, manufacturers ly restricting their purchases to actual | requirement. Demand for men's wear I goods in wool and worsted continues to j be an outstanding feature of'the trade. Chicago wheat prices are up five cents a bushel from the low point of the week, and sentiment seems to be that the bear movement has been pretty well discount ! ed. Some of the bearish propaganda jis attributed to foreigners, who have . made large purchases on breaks in prices. \ Crop reports on corn are generally t'avor j able except from the Southwest. The corn trade is bullish iu distant futhres, ' and their purchase has ‘narrowed the j gap somewhat with the high September i prices. . Safety Razor Blade Used In New Pick pocket Trick.
