OROWTtI OF BUILDING AND DOAN IN THE S+ATB. Building ami loan men of, the State are holding their'annual convention, at Wlightsville Beach this year an<l reports submitted to them by officers show a very tine record of work for the past year. Associations in all parts of the State have enjoyed almost unprecedented pat ronage and the associations as a whole are growing in strength as well as in favor. In connection with the program for the annual eonvention officers of the State Association have sent out some very impressive figures showing the growth of State associations within recent years. Back in 1905. shows the report, the assets of the associations included in the report amounted to $5,542,988.51. There was a steady growth for years and when the next figures were given for the year 1919. the total had jumped to *8,375.- 378.28. and in 1920 to *29.368415.92. Since that year the total has been in creased to *70,248.910.13. The report does not indicate whether these totals are for all associations in the State or for only the associations which are members of the State association. While the growth of the association was slow for a number of years, it has been very rapid during the past five years. When there was an increase of more than 200 per cent. Thus growth is attribut able to only one thing—the success with Which the associations are able to do bus iness. Concord is one of the bpst build ing and loan towns in the State, with some of the strongest associations, and there are few homes in this city that were not erected in part by money secur ed from one of the local associations. The Building and lyban Associations are an asset to any city and it is an en couraging sign that business with them is on the increase. LET THE PESSIMIST GROWL. Business is “going to the dogs” in the opinion of some people who are ready to give up when money gets a little tight. These people see no hope for the future and spend most of their time expounding their theories of pessimism. And that is one reason they are faced with bad bus iness. Instead of working harder they are sitting still with folded hands. There are optimists too. thank good ' ness. They are confident business will v get much better, for they see that al ready it is better than it was some months ago. One such optimist is the New York iournal of Commerce which is loud in its tidings of bigger and better business. It finds that “ititerest and dividend payments this month will run about *30,- 000.000 ahead of laUt year. It looks as if busifaeks whrfe pretty good. Dividends will be nearly j *8.000,000 better than a year:p*o. Industrial companies will.pgy more than $3.900,000 r in excess of f jsist July.' - . RailwaJ’slwill pay over a million moh:: stfret ; railway” almost a million more. And New ,Ifork banks and thist com jr pa flies Will{iay more than a million end a half more.lnterest payments] Will be about *30,000,000 greater, of. which railways will pay about *12,000,-* 0000, and industrial and miscellaneous companies will pay over *16,000,000. In ] dustrial dividends for seven months are nearly *13,000,000 greater than in the same part of last year.” .MAKE “CLEAN UP WEEK” AMOUNT TO SOMETHING. The city is going to some expense next week in staging a “clean up week” and it is to be hoped that the citizens of the city will take advantage of this oppor tunity to get their premises cleaned up free of cost.. All they have to do is move their garbage and trash to the streets, and there it will be picked up by the city trucks' nnd wagons. This is the time of the year when it is imperative that we keep our premises -clean. Dirtt breeds disease,.quicker than any other agency. Filth offers a perfect breeding place for mosquitoes, and filth is always prevalent where garbage and trash is allowed to .collect. Every street in Concord is to be vis ited by the trucks and wagons which will be put to work during the week and there is reason why any one's yard should be dirty after the campaign is over. The city is ready to do its part and it should have the co-operation of the citizens. IiLAN MIGHTY, SAYS ORATOR “Woe to Those Who Oppose It,” Shoiils King klchgle Bell. New York World. More than 7,500 persons, most of them women, cheered King Kleagle Arthur H. Hell, imperial representative of the knights of the Ku Klux Klan. at the regular Sunday meeting of the Ocean Grove. X. auditorium Bible class yes terday. Tlie greatest excitement came when Kleagle Bell announced. the organization was increasing daily and had reached such , a strength now that .nothing could stop it. “Woe to lilifi or her. or the or ganisation,” he “who foolishly places himself or itself in the way of this God chosen militant army of men and women led onward by the Stars and Stripes." The Kiansmen would unmask. Bell de clarer! "when crooked politicians remove the masks from their sou's and convents open their doors.” Nobody at t'.ie meet ing was masked. Post and Fiagg’s Cotton L tter. New York. July 22.—1 t has been a dull, dragging market reflecting expecta tion of a somewhat bearish report tomor row ns seems justified by developments to date and by reports from private au thorities generally. Mmfi. however, de pends on the importance assigned to Texas where the situation has without doubt gone from bad to worse. Okla homa also is beginning to suffer from lack of rains but private advices today reported showers in that state apparently fairly general. Whatever the report, shows as an indication for the crop many of the best iu the rtade feel that there are still large possibilities of damage both by Weat'her and by insists. Any good recession from existing leve's will afford an opportunity for purchases of which advantage should be taken espe cially by those who wib lneed cotton later to use in their business. It would not take much of a crop scare in August to start a broader, more active trade demand especially if indica tions for better trade conditions should by that time receive further confirma tion. The policy of trying to square your position and operations to the vari ous reports as they come along looks like the surest way to meet eventual disap pointment of a more or less, serious na ture.

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE PRISON HEAD HITS SEEKER FUR NEWS Reporter Calling at Prison Greeted I With Bltv; Armed Guard Helps 1 Boss. Rnieigh News and Observer. | Jonathan W. jDaniels, the member of the News and Observer staff regularly assigned to the State Prison, was greet [ed by a blow from Superintendent j George Ross Pou when the reporter milled at the Prison yesterday in the course of his regular rounds and asked whijt had happened at the meeting of the board of directors of the prison held earlier in the day. When Daniels entered the prison grounds yesterday he found the superin tendent with others on the lawn. The reported called the official to one side and courteously requested the news. Pou answered with an onth and a blow. Daniels pinned Pou to the ground and refused to fight him at his own home aud in the presence of ladies, but of fered to meet him at an* other point he might suggest. \ At this juncture the armed guard on duty at the gate rushed up and leveling his rifle at Daniels ordered, the reporter from the grounds. Acting under the impetus of the rifle. Daniels turned away from Pou. The prison head then proceeded to strike the reporter again. The same reporter has been regularly assigned to the State Prison for several months, although other members of the staff have visited the institution from time to time. Since the editorial demands of the News and Observer last April that Pou be replaced at the head of the prison there had been a certain amount of formality between I’ou and Daniels but no semblance of a break in their official relations. Publication last week of figures ob tained by another member of the News and Observer staff from the State Audi tor showing the deficit at the prison on June 30 to have been nearly twice the estimate made to the General Assembly is believed to have led to yesterday’s outbreak although there was no direct mention of the incident. Neither Pou nor the directors of the prison have chal lenged the Auditor's figures or sought to make any explanation of them. In a statement after yesterday's oc curence I’ou admitted he was the ag gressor ami sought to excuse his con duct with the claim that he had been "lied about” by the News and Obser ver. Mr. and Mrs. Pou and Mrs. J. H. Nor man were seated on the lawn. 1 taniels walked nverAoward the group. He bow ed. took off his hat and asked Mr. Pou if lie might speak to him. Pou rose from his chair nnd walked over to Daniels. "Mr. Pou, could I get a statement from you on the meeting of the prison board today?" Daniels asked. "I'm not going to make any statement to you as long as you print damn lies about me." i’ou shouted and simultane ously struck Daniels with his fist. Dan iels and I’ou climbed and Daniels threw Pou to the ground. “1 don't want to tight you here in the presence of your wife." Daniels told I’ou. "I'll fight you anywhere else." Mrs. Pou heard the statement and cried. "Fight, fight." She struck Daniels two or three tFates in tbe back white be was holding Pou. Daniels let I’ou up when a prison guard approached armed with a rifle. “Ton get out of hero, you get out of here,” the guard cried menacingly. Daniels turned to look at the guard, taking fiis eyes off Pou and as lie did Pou struck him with Ills fist from the side, striking Daniels over the left eye. Statement by Dr. J. H. Norman: “The statement published this morning in the News and Observer is character istic of nearly all news tfiat paper pub lishes with reference to the state’s prison, in that it is tilsfd with many misstate ments of facts.

He approached where: we were sitting on the lawn. Mr. Pou got up and met him. -Daniels asked Mr. Pou if he had any news to whltii Mr. Pou replied he had no news for Daniels and would not have any as long as Dan iels continued to publish damn lies about him. Daniels stepped towards Mr. Pou and was met in the face by a healthy right hand swat. Daniels struck at Mr. Pou. .Mr. Pou warded off the blow ami gave Daniels a left to the jaw. They clinched and fell to the ground with Daniel's face pinioned to the ground. They broke and arose and Mr. Pou again struck Daniels in the face. Daniels' brother came up in the meantime. Just after Mr. Pou struck Daniels the lest time the guard on the front gate walked up and ordered Daniels from the yard. The guard did not draw or attempt to draw his rifle on Daniels. Sir. Pou fol lowed Daniels and his brother to the car and told them if the NeO-s and Ob server wanted anj news from ‘aim to have them send over a gentleman. “On several occasions Sir. Pou has told Daniels to his face that he had pub lished lies about the state's proson and let Mr. Daniels know his patience could not last for all time. Recently Daniels has been accompanied to the prison by his wife and yesterday he brought his wife and brother.” Statement by Major Hugh A. I.ove: “Mr. Fleet ‘Williams. Cite city editor of the News and Observer, advised Su perintendent Pou this afternoon that he would detail Hog Gray, Jr., to cover news at the state's prison to succeed Jonathan Daniels. Mr. Pou had requested that a gentleman be sent by the News and Observer to secure news from the state prisoh." Bad Checks. Monroe Kenquirer. Down at the postoffiee one evening,this week a prominent merchant opened a let ter from his bank. "I wonder whose bad check this is?” said lie as he opened it. "I.arge amount?" J inquired. “Oh. only $11.50," said he, with a sigh. “Do you get many checks returned marked "No funds?" I asked. “One or two every day,” said the merchant. "Will you ever get the money?" “Perhaps I will and perhaps I will not." Now, folks, the man who had the bad check is not conducting a cash business. Only recently I heard this samp man's competitor say, “I am going to lose 23 tier cent, of the charge accounts on my books that have been emitting a year or ! more." . Why. in the name of common sense, don't rticse inen get together and stop a bad practice? Why not cut out ■the dead beats entirely, which would eu [able them to sell goods for less, thereby giving good pay customers the benefit? It this was done old Monroe soon would be on the map as a trade center. T.et's remember our town is like unto a big corporation, with its various de partments. and each department prosper ing as the whole prosperts. Competitors | live in another town, or are the mail or , der houses, who. by selling for cash, may undersell us and tfuis get the business to which We ate entitled. Few places in J.ondcn are more in teresting that Covent Gardent Market, and not least among its many curious features is the company ow "whip-mind ers." Ttic company consists of twenty Women, who may be seen any morning before 5 and 10 o'clock holding the whips of carters who have produce to market. Tile business of “whip-mimllng" descends from mother to daughter, and various rights and privileges were given to Hie ancestors of the present company by a former Dnke of Bedford. ftfiSiEMßfek riiNNs ads Are casil BELL-HARRiS FURNITURE CO. : .
