The Commissioners of Cabarrus County ! have made agreement with the State Highway Commission and with citizens »Jt Mount Pleasant whereby the highway friftn .Concord to Mount Pleasant can be paved. Th«', paving will begin at the cer tiorate limits in Concord and extend to the eastern corporate limits in Mount Pleasant, thereby connecting the two towns with a hard surface highway. This road is one of the most important in Cabarrus county. , It connects Con cord with prosperous and industrious sections of this and other counties, and it will add another paved stretch to tile road that leads from this section of the State to Raleigh via Carthage and San ford. The co-operation of the citizens of Mount Pleasant and the Highway Com mission make the road possible. The cit izens of Mount Pleasant have agreed to pay the costs of paving the road through their town and the Highway Commission will add the sum of SIOO,OOO to the money to be provided by this county. This agreement means that Cabarrus County Will have to expend about $175,000 on the project. The Commissioners are wise, we think, in deciding to build a hard surface road from Concord to Mount Pleasant even (hough the State was unwilling to build the road. The State Highway law, to h sure, provides for the connecting of county seats of adjoining counties with bard surface roads, but the Cabarrus Commissioners had been assured that there was not enough money coining to Cabarrus any time soon to provide a strictly State-built road between Concord cord and Albemarle, so the local commis sioners decided to furnish the money and let the State build the road. The road will be built under the direc tion of the State Highway Commission and will be maintained by the State which will take it over. If the Cotnmisisoners can now provide some way to get a better road through No. 1(1 township to the I'nion County line Cabarrus will be in much better shajie so far as her main roads are con cerned. The road from this city to the Union line is hardly second in import ance to auy other road in the county. ■■■ , I —■ ■ ‘ COTTON PRICES. A government estimate of a cotton crop of little more than 11,000,000 bales sent the price of cotton up in the New York exchange Tuesday. The govern ment report was of September 25th and the fact that a crop of less than twelve million bales forecast so late in the sea son was responsible for the rise in price, t The report, however, forecast a larger Crop than the last report, issued several weeks ago. That report predicted a crop of less than eleven million bales, and When it was made public there was tin r cited rise in cotton prices. There seems every reason to believe that cotton prices are going to remain well above the 25-eejjt level. No expert Iftires now that the crop will be more than twelve million bates, and a small crop like that should carry the price near to the 30-cent mark. i, MEMORIAL TO HAKDINO.

Coliseum 1 annex and tile (ireer building in Chicago i the same building in which last year’s show was held- The problem of sufficient space, al though three large buildings have been obtained, has made it necessary to in struct inhibitors to trim their exhibits, said Mr. Upham- More exhibits are ex pected for the show this year than there have been at any previous show, declar ed the manager. Officials of the "" rth Carolina High way Commission already are preparing exhibits for the 11)24 road show. Nesides photographs and charts showing the progress of road building in North ('aroiiia., a bridge model and . other . models will be exhibited at the show by this state, according to H. K. Wither speeu, editor of the North Carolina Highway Bulletin, who will have charge of the exhibit. Working cooperatively with the American Highway Builders’ Associa tion in producing the road show is the Highway Industries Exhibitors’ Asso ciation, with the directors of which Mr. Upham said lie has recently completed satisfactory arrangements. The two organizations are working together in complete harmony. practically as a single organization, to the end of making tlie coming convention and road show the best ever held, he added. The program tor the convention, it was explained, provides for much jnore attention to methods of handling .con struction and maintenance work, and to relations between the contractor, engineer and the machinery and material producers than has heretofore been eustomar. These features of the program are still in process of develop ment, but announcement of the details of the program is expected to be made within the near future- Prohibition Law l nenforeeablr. Says Bishop. Washington. Oct. I.—A prayer for world peace during the period extending from October 24 to November 1 will he promoted over the country announced the national council of Catholic women, under plans announced today at the or ganization's annual convention here. Mrs. Michael Gavin, of New York, president of the council, announced the bishops of the national Catholic welfare council had commissioned the women to promote a noveua prayer and that steps to carry out the plan already had been taken. The Right Rev. Joseph Schrembs. bishop of Cleveland, spiritual director or the-organization, appealed to the dele gates to wbrk to make the prayer a suc cess. Bishop Schrembs. arraigned ’ birth con trol propaganda" anil urged the council to combat it with all of its zeal. He also declared tlie government was spending millions to enforce the prohibi tion law “which everybody in his own heart knows is non-enforceable." "And I notice,” lie said, “that men high in government position who are say ing they have got to enforce this law are breaking it before they say it or imme diately after "There are a great many people who imagine that every ill must be cured by legislation." the bishop continued. "Now let me tell you, dear ladies, legislation will never cure anybody. Legislation is tlie enactment yhf law for certain definite purposes in itself is not going to make a saint out of anybody. These things have got to proceed from the iu nermost sources of individual morality, which is the heart of thj* individual man." The convention also was addressed by Secretary Davis, who urged the women to assist in "humanizing" the immigra tion laws, and Mrs. Gavin, who reviewed the work of the council for the past year.

I Raleigh. N.Oct. I.—Less thnn a third of the 3.002 children,, white and j negro, in orphanages in North Caro-1 lina are full orphans without either j father or mother, according to detailed 1 information compiled by the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare and 1 mailed to orphanage officials at the re quest of the North Carolina Orphans Association. Miss Mary O. Shot well, of the staff of the f Board, lias recent’)’ com -1 pleted assembling iufornujtiou relative to each of these 3.002' children, which 1 necessitated visits to all the child-ear ing institutions in the state. Uniform cards containing this data . have been carefully tabulated, giving some hitherto unavailable statistics, and are now on tile in tlie office of the State Board. Os the 3,002 children in orphanages in North Carolina 402 have fathers: 1.400 have mothers living: 24S have both parents living: and 040 arc full orphans. One hundred and ninety one are illegitimate. There ate 1193 chi'dren who belong to 357 families con taining three or more children. Twenty six hundred and ninety-five of the chil dren eared for in orphanages in North Carolina are white and 307 are negroes. Fifty-four of the living )»arents are in mates of the state hospitals for insane. In the eases of those children whose fathers are alive, some are insane, some invalid and some have deserted their children, according to the reports. Mecklenburg ’is the county which fur nishes the largest number of children to child-caring institutions. From this county comes 19.8 orphans: Wake is second with l(Ki: Buncombe third with ■ 1(10; and Guilford fourth with 153. There are five counties having no chil dren in any of the orphanages—Alle ghany. Caswell. Gates, Greene and Tyrrell. Os the total 3.<H)2 children. 144 come from outside North Carolina. It was impossible to discover where 74 came from, said Miss Shotwell. The 1.193 children belonging to 357 families containing three or more chil dren does not include the long list of those who have cither one brother r one sister in the orphanage. Ilford leads the list in caring for the largest number of children, having two families of seven children each. Another phase of the study made by | the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare was the umber of years the eliidren had been in institutions. It was impossible to learn this in some eases, it was stated, as no date of admission to the institution had been recorded. Ac cording to information furnished, how ever. 453 children have been in an in stitutions one year: 414 two; 328 three: 332 four: 224 five: 230 six: 212 seven: 151 eiglr ■ nine: SMi ten; 72 eleven: 27 twelve: 18 thirteen; eight fourteen: three fifteen: one. seventeen and one nineteen. Thie next step in the Board of Public Welfare’s effort to have full informa tipn on file regarding all inmates of J child-caring institutions will be to se cure tlie health records of all orphanage children. Miss Shotwell announced. A health record blank has been prepared , by the State of Public Welfare in con- ' junction with the State Board of Health. These blanks will be furnished all institutions. Miss Shotwell said. Regular physical examination of or phanage children it was explained, is one of the tilings being especially stress e<i by the Board of Public Welfare at this time, in an examination recently given the children of one institution by the county physician, it was found that three-fourths of them were in need of ( medical treatment. Miss Shotwell said. 1 To Call a Special Term of Court in 1 Mitchell County. Raleigh. Oct. I.—Governor Cameron Morrison, following a long distance con- ’ versation with Adjutant General J. Van B. Mctts. early this morning announced that a special term of court would be called soon as possible to try John Goff, on a charge of attacking an aged white woman in Mitchell county near Spruce Pine. The announcement of the gov- I ernor following information furnished by I the adjutant general, to the effect that . an attack actually had been committed instead of an attempted attack as at first, reported. The governor stated, howev er. that he would have the victim of the attack brought here before calling tlie spiral court, in order that the negro Goss might be identified by the woman. AUTI MN.

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE OVER A HALE PER ACRE DESPITE THE BOLL WEEVIL Robert Stuart Expects Mere Than 250 - Bales From His 250 Acres. I Southern Pines. Oct. 1.—”1 will have! I over a bale of cotton to the acre." said Robert Stuart, who has 250 acres on the farm at Drowning creek. “We have | dusted regularly under Dr. Leiby’s di-j reetion, and our crop will run a"most as big as ever. It is perfectly satisfac tory, and we think" wc have the weevil beat. Our tenants are all in gaod shape, and will have money at the end of the harvest. The dusting cost as about $7,50 an acre for the summer. It saved us'not less than $25 an acre. We shall certainly continue to plant cotton and tV dust ’it wc find sme bet ter mtXhod to tight .tile weevil." -Mr. Stuart is a progressive and intep ligent farmer, and has always made a good c r °P. He continues to expand tlie acreage,on the farm, and to widen its range ’of production. This year, he has an unusual corn crop, a good tobacco crop and his tenants have supplies to feed them and their stock. He is some what better equipped for fighting the weevil than some fanners for Mr. Stuart lias raised peaches’ for some years and knows the method of warfare necessary in fighting peach pests. So when he conies to apply the tactics to boll weevil he was not on strange ground. Hr thinks the Sandhill cotton farmer can make cotton as well as he can make peaches, and that a vigorous endeavor to hold the weevil in cheek will permit the profitable production of .cotton in this section. He will continue to dear up more new ground for cotton and is sat isfied that the cotton farmer is all right if he will use intelligence and energy in his work. Reichstag to .Meet Today.
