I pp The invitation was extended in a K mote handed to the German govern- i Bfdfcet by the French ambassador at j [m. Berlin Monday and made pub'ic in various capitals tonight. It is a to Germany's note of July 20 j R od the subject of security. K Eg-?* their reply the French, in com p mon with their allies, confine them g' selves to 5 observations on on y tnree Rpfipiuts.

Raleigh News and Observer. State lenders of the Baptist de - nomination met here Monday night to 5 consider the growing agitation over s. evolution among members of the de | nomination which has resulted in a marked decrease in the contributions • to State funds for education, mis : sions and charities. I President W. L. Potent, of Wake Forest College, who has been the l center of fire for the foes of evolu | tion in the State was present at the k meeting. Members of the denomina tion who do not approve ot his ’ teaching evolution were also present. The meeting which was held in the office of V. O- Parker, chairman of ! the executive committee of the board j of trustees of Wake Forest, lasted | well into the night. No action was taken or decision made. The meeting was characterized as a “caucus” aud "a prayer meeting" to discues the increasingly serious matter ca'mly in order to meet the problems presented by the contro versy.

Those attending the meeting ad mitted that the evolution controversy in the Baptist denomination of the State has reached a crisis. Foes of f evolution and Dr Poteat. they say, are making stronger and stronger demand that evolution be given out of its colleges. Some fundamental -1 ists in the church are unwilling to, contribute to the eo'’ege while it j cortinues the teaching of evolution. 1 Under the budget plan, any de ficiency in one fund is made up ■ ; from th« others. The on'y way not to j 5 contribute to the therefore, is ’ not to controbute to the purpose of the denomination. j f- While the State furds have fa'len off to a starting degree, it is stated the contributions to individual i churches have shown an increase. I Dr. Poteat has offered to resign as J president of the college on several occasions in order to eliminate fric tions in the denomination but h>s * resignation has been refused by the ■board of trustees of the college. His friends be'ieve that his resignation fwould cripple the college if it came While he was under the fire of the , fundamentalists. ONo plan or movement was de cided am at the meeting although several were discussed. Those pre-rut gathered to discuss a problem which they state is daily increasing in JjlSfeuaness inside the denomination. | The drop in the contributions to fthe State funds ofthe church is at gtribu tefi by some ofthem to bad flgwp conditions in the State rather to bad feeling resulting from Hm evolution controversy.

I It is expected the experts win get down to “round tables business" "in , London next Monday. I The French note to which the j Germains dispatched their reply this evening, observed that the German • government twice had drawn atten | tion to “the eventual possibility of (concluding agreements under which existing treaties might be adapted to changed circumstances" nnd that the Gorman government also sug gests the hypothesis of modification of conditions of th’e Rhineland oc cupation.” To both of these sug gestions the French in effect, have replied that nothing can be done. The French note points out that the covenant is primarily grounded on serupu'ous respect for treaties, which form “the basis of the public law of Europe” and declares that France and her allies consider that the Ver sai les treaty rights which Germany, as well asthe allies possess under it, “must not be impaired.” nor the provisions for the application'"of the treaty modified. Stands on Rights. “However liberal the spirit, how ever pacific the intentions with which France is ready to pursue the pres ent negotiations," says the note, "she cannot surrender her rights. And it is for this reason that the French note of June 16 specified that a security pact could not affect the provisions of the treaty relative to the occupation of the Rhineland, nor the execution of the conditions laid down in relation thereto in the Rhine’and agreement.” As for Germany's entry into the league, the note asserts that “it is the only solid basis for a mutual agreement and a European peace.” FORD AND THE FARMER. 3 Philadelphia Record. 1 Henry Ford’s dream of substituting a synthetic milk-machine for the old fashioned “bossy cow” is not new, but he has recently renewed his talk 5 ab ut it and in the expression of his r views he has been led into saying come things which will scarcely in -1 crease his popularity among the farm ’ ers. In a recent interview, after repeat ing his prophecy that “some one will invent away to make milk synthetic ?. ally” and thus obviate the necessity ‘ of bothering about cows at all, he was * | asked how it would be possible to ; j keep up soil fertility without the *: fertilizer produced by farm animals. ; His answer to that was “commercial - fertilizers.” and when it was sug gested that it is not always eeonom ical for a farmer growing genera' crops to buy such things, Mr. Ford ' is quoted as saying: “It will be in the future. Farms will be largers and J they will be run moire systematically. The little farmers will have to go. 1 They are back numbers. Why do we need farmers, anyway?” Mr. Ford • himself immediately realized that this I was saying a trifle too much, so he hastened to remark that one need not! give up living in the country, if one I I iued tha. short of thing, but one need | not devote all one’s ttime to faming. - either. J Then Mr. Ford said the most sig i nificant thing in his interview: “In dustry is moving out into the country districts It is better not to have • too much centralization. Some of ■ the best workmanship that goes into ' the Ford car is done in the little waterpower plants that we have up the River Rouge. A good many farm people work in these plants. There will be more and more of that sort of thing.” So that’s the idea! Mr. Fi rd. to make this country 100 per cent, efficient, would abolish agricul ture entirely, if necessary. It would , be a grand thing if he could have j the farm folk working for him not i n y part but a’l of the time. He wants a standardized world, but : t.,:tiven help that world if his hopes I - ou’d confe to complete fruition. It is true that the farmer's life is usua.- y au ardut us one and that often it j has more than its share of hard ships ; but there are compensations. ; arid the chief of these is the spirit of j independence that comes to one who wrests his living from the soil and lin his own master. There are other things which Mr. Ford will never be I ab.e to synthetize, the beautites of : , nature, for instance, in the changing seasons. These are things of which 1 p- cts have sung in all ages, and of ’ which Sir Aubrey de Vere in his son- 1 net on “Independence” said: i “Are there no flowers on earth in heaven ne stars. That we must place in such low things i our trust?” j Visit of Stork is a Rare Event in Spitsbergen. Longyear City, Spitsbergen.

Raleigh News and Observer. W. B. Cole, rich Rockingham mill owner, will be brought to trial for the murder of W. TV. Ormond, former sweetheart of Cole’s daughter, at a special term of the Richmond County Superior Court called by Governor McLean yesterday for the week be ginning September 28th. No judge has yet been designated by Governor McLean to preside over the term. Governor McLean stated that he was not calling a special term for the trial of Cole but was merely com plying with the statute ahd calling the term at the request of P. A. Me- Elroy and Solicitor Don Phillips. “I will not designate any judge at the suggestion of either side,” Gov ernor McLean said, however, when asked about the Cole case. “I (bean no reflection on Solicitor Phillips. I told him that I would not and he agrees with me.” Governor McLean stated that he has the highest regard for Judge T. J. Shaw, of Greensboro, who was sug gested by Solicitor Phillips. Judge M. V. Barnhill, of Rocky Mount, is the only judge on the Su perior Court bench who has a vacant week during the week beginning Sep tember 28th. He has just finished five straight weeks of court and this week is the only vacant week for him between now and Christmas. Governor McLean can appoint some lawyer from another county as an emergency judge to hold the term or he may call upon the emergency judges. Judge Oliver H. Allen anil Judge George H. Brown to hold the term. Judge William A. Hoke, former Chief Justice of the Cupreme Court, was asked by the governor yesterday if he would hold the term. Judge Hoke stated that he was afraid that on account of some treatment which he must take for his health he would ’ not be able to do so. Governor McLean expressed his re gret that the former chief justice, who is now an emergency judge, could not bold the court. A Timely Warning. : Rocky Mout Telegram. | Papers over a wide area have told . of the eye of prosperity hrough which Eastern Carolina is now passing and of the roseate future which looms just ahead of the section. The section has been fortunate in being blessed with unusually good crops, and plenty is sure to reign with the exception of those isolated spots where hail and wind storms wrought havoc. The opening of the tobacco and cotton markets will mean the reaping of a harvest of dollars through Eastern Carolina. When prosperity looms, however, and a harvest of dollars is about to reaped, there is time for a warning The news of good crops has gone over a wide area, and there will be many who will seek to reap benefits for they have sowed nothing. Eastern Carolina farmers will in all likeli hood be swamped with mail order catalogues, canvassers, and all man boosters to magazine solicitors, ner of salesmen from investment Prosperity always brings a swarm i if such vultures, ready to prey upon the earnings of others. The warning, thererfore, is to be on the lookout for such types, to give no need to the wonderful tales which some of them will tell and to devote the funds which are about to be put in circu ation into worthwhile channels, clearing first the obligations which have been entailed during tue year, and banking or investing in wet known and preferably home securi ties, where there will be community benefit and a beneficial return of “bread rast upon the waters.” Fight Canvassing Evil. Editor and Publisher. House-to-house canvassing ha 6 be come a vexatious problem in many cities. One correspondent of Editor A Publisher advises us that possibly forty per cent of household furnishing sales are in some localities door yard trades, as against sixty per cent, with local retailers. Canvassers travel ov er the country, employing temporary assistants and by intensive drives place hundreds of thousands of dol lars’ worth of goods. Some of the practice is extremely shady. i The Chamber of Commerce of Au- 1 burn, N. i\, recognizing this traffic 1 as unfavorable to the interests of the 1 city, is attacking, the canvasser ' through display space in newspapers. A campaign of twenty-seven adver- * tisements, ranging to a page in size, I written by a student of locai retailing 1 to run in the daily press, is being 1 used to combat the canvasser. 1 In this copy the following points ■ are made: The out-of-town concern 1 selling by peddler and delivering by 1 parcel post, does not protect the cus- < tomer either in price or quality and his “guarantees” are meaningless The price argument is no sound, be cause the agent’s commission often exceeds the total mark-up of the re liable local retailer. The out-of-town dealer does not contribute propor tionately to the taxes of the commun ity. The out-of-town dealer will never build a city. To make a sale the foreign peddler attacks the whole local retail system with unproved ar guments. “Here today—gone tomorrow,” is the best slogan we have heard as ap plied to the itinerant merchandise so licitor. If goods are not as repre sented by him there is no appenl for justieme. The Chamber of Commerce of Auburn is attacking this growing menace very intelligently and pub lishers in other cities who desire to show local trade bodies how to flight the canvasser will do well to study the Auburn display space campaign.

Howard Brown, who was with season, new THE CONChRD DAILY TRIBUNE AN ANTI-EVOLUTION LAW. r Winston-Salem Sentinel, i- Now it is reported that another anti evolution law. this time one quite sim ilar to the Tennessee statute, is to 1 be introduced at the next session of r the General Assembly of North Car r olina. » There will probably be another r stormy debate similar to the one over r the Poole bill at the last session, with -about the same result. ? A good deal of time and oratory will r be wasted, anil nothing will be really settled. " The Sentinel is not in favor of the r teaching in the public schools at any • time or place of anything which is I really antagonistic to the Bible. But we do not believe it is the func tion of a state legislative body to 1 say what shall, or shall not, be taught ' in the schools. 1 For, if the Leg'slature can say that ' one thing must not be taught, why _ can it not say that something else ‘ must not be taught, and if it can say wbat shall be taught, why can It not ' say what shall be taught, and so on? And if a Legislature with sane leadership can say that something must not be taught that is undeniably bad. what is there to keep another ’ Legislature, under different leadership, from putting the ban on something j that is really good? t The whole thing establishes a prec ( edent that is dangerous, and about the only thing such a law would do would , be to advertise the very thing at t which it is aimed. There are people today who are giv . ing serious attention to the theory of eyolution who had prabably never | thought of evolution at all until the Tennessee law raised the issue in a . spectacular kind of way. There are other ways to keep from being taught in the public schools things that might tend to discredit sound Christian doctrine than by leg islative enactment. For that matter, the proposition would seem to be more within the province of school officials, anyway. And public sentiment Would appear to be a sufficient precaution against unsound teaebiugs. The agitation of a measure similar to the Poole bill, defeated at the last session of the Legislature, can be productive of no good, in our opinion. It will make for increased bitter ness and discord. If Congress and every state legis lature would occupy their time with the eons'derntion of questions other than evolution it would be far better for all concerned. But. of course, attending to the real business that properly comes before these bodies is less spectacular than disputing over evolution and kindred topics. Can Do Without Lights, But Not Without Schools. Monroe Journal “I want electric lights and water in my house, but I can do without that, and I want a good school for my children and I am not willing to do without that.” These words were spoken yesterday by a lady who lives six or eight miles from Monroe as she asked her hus bund to take her to se the county superintendent of schools to rmd out what the women could do about the j school matter. She is alert, watchful j of what is going on about her. has seen other sections of the State and is becomming a ittle nervous about i getting things needed in her own community. “The business men,” she said, “go ! to work when they want anything and get it. but our farmer men don’t do that. They just sit and wait and talk.” “Why don't you women get busy, the?” she was asked. “I think we will have to, for we j have just got to have schools for our children. Our men work so bard, at least most of them do, they haven't | much time to think or to attend to public matters. And we women work so hard we can scarcely drag. We need improvements and helps that will lighten iabro. "The men have bought tractors and trucks and other helps, but the only help that the women amt child ren get is that they get to ride about some now in the Fords. It has he p ed them that the men have quit buy ing mules that they did not ued and are buying cars. We get to ride some. But we need the helps that ' modern inventions has made for the homes.

X. E. A. Service Paper, Gossip absorbs village women. Miss Dorothy B. Chester, a student at the sAool of journalism. University of Illinois, found this to be true when she casually called on residents of small towns in Ilinois. She made these visits primarily to find out what interested the women. Os eighty-eight women whose con versations were recorded, the majority were mature women with the equiva lent of high school education, living near, or in, a small town. "Local excitement and gossip were the source of the largest discussions," says Miss Chester, whose visits brought her to the homes at various hours of the day. “Did yon hear about Jennie May's little boy? He broke his arm,” or "You know this man downtown that works in the shoe store? Jim says he was so drunk last night he bad to be taken home.'' “If you move on to another group of women you will hear them discuss ing a recent fire or perhaps a robbery or the death of some one in the vil lage. Bobbed Hair a Worry. “The women In small towns realise they are slow in keeping in style and so it is a continual worry whether bobbed hair is going out of style or not. “Visitors in small towns are al ways talked about and new residents are a great topic of discussion from the time their furiture arrives. “In the small town and on the farm the crops are of a great interest. The women are equall as interested as the men. “Illness is talked about by a cer tain type of people in both the city and the smaller community, but in the little town it is not talked of as a complaint only but as news. “Radios have become a general top ic of discussion and especially among those who have them, or those who are thinking of buying one. Os Vital Interest. "Household inventions, receipts and patterns for dresses are of vital in terest to most women. Any woman who knows of a new washing machine that saves labor and time describes it fully to her negihbors and friende. s “Societies, work and worry, finan cial conditions, shopping tours, poli tics. poultry and hard roads are dis- . cussed in a like manner. “The outstanding thing that I found was that these people in the small | community do not discuss the movies or dramatic art. They do not have the opportunity to see good plays and movies unless they go to town. “They talk of more serious things than the women of the cities and they talk of the things going on around them for they do not have interests that are varied. “City people are not so intimate and they all have different interests, so that herein lies the greatest differ eat-e m the discussions of the two types of women.” Catawba College. Salisbury Post. The report from Catawba College which was published in the Post yes terday morning is most gratifying. If ' there have been any who were dis posed to doubt the school's being ready ■ for an opening on the date set they ought to read the facts and be satis fied. If not the college , ! .s close by. Now we would say that the general | interest in the college ought to help to fill it with students. No doubt the opening will be most gratifying; re ports indicate as much, but every friend of the college ought to lend a hand and see that Catawba gets eon ; sideration from many boys and girls | wishing to get through school. Catawba ought to aid many a boy and girl from this immediate section ; to get a college education. Four years jof college life moans quite an item in cost these days and a good many boys and girls of bright mind and am bitions to go forward are finding it mighty hard and in some cases impos sible. With Catawba at the door many Rowan boys and girls who might not be able to make it else where will find the opportunity at ; their doors. And Catawba has a his tory of good and faithful work, a rec ord that dates back through the years, and there is no reason why that good and faithful work should not continue, not only continue but grow larger and more assuring. Dr. Hoke tells us that everything at Catawba will be ready for two weeks in advance of the day of open’ng and these two weeks ought to find many boys and girls in Rowan making ready for embracing the opportunity.

Tadkinville, Aug. 27.—“ Give them a lesson in making roads and they will learn sense enough to use them properly," said Judge A. M. Stack, | of Mohroe, who opened Superior court here Monday for the trial of criminal cases. The jurist was in the midst of his charge to the grand jury and was discussing the menace of driving along the public highways in an intoxicated condition. Not an inch of standing room was left when the crowd packed and jam med the courthouse auditorium to hear the opening of August court which was docketed for trial 88 cases, ranging from arson and attempted criminal assault down to petty lar ceny by chicken thieves and knife cutting affrays nnd fisticuffs. It was n throng that fairly jeopardized the antiquated building. Judge Stack in his charge called attention to the great crime wave over the country nnd hq called upon “all good citizens” to help put a stop to it. “We hear great criticism of the city of Chicago," said Judge Stack, "for its crime, for its criminals of the underworld. This state is in no position to criticize Chicago," ho con tinued, “for with a population no lar ger than the population of that city we have n murder for every day in the year against Chicago's record of 300 annually.'' It would be a pleasure to Judge Stack, he indicated, to endorse a move to flash pictures of corpses, victims of reckless and drunken driving, of fights and affrays caused by liquor, in a nation-wide effort to stop the il licit whiskey traffic. The eminent jur ist laid most of the crime of the country to the nefarious liquor trade nnd he pinned alongside the blockad ers nnd rum runners in responsibility the “good citizen" who goes out and buys a quart or a gallon, as the case may be. "We have a good sheriff down in Union county.” said Judge Stack. "A still can't get hot there before it is reported and cut up. Our sheriffs goes after them. I hope you have a good sheriff here, one who will en force the state prohibition iaw. If you will co-operate with him this evil traffic can be stamped out—it must be stamped out.” Why Not Walt For Trial? Kinston Free Press. Announcement that. Captain Ed ward F. Jones of Asheville, has been named by Adjutant-General Metts to succeed Major Wade V. Bowman of Hickory, resigned, to command of the Second Squadron of the 100th Cavalry, would seem to indicate that General Metts has accepted the Bowman resignation and will allow the erstwhile commander of the cavalry troop to leave the service before the ugly charges of criminal assault which rest against him are disposed of. If this be so, it justifies a vigor ous protest on the part of the peo ple of the State and particularly those who are zealous for the main tenance of a high standard of per sonal conduct in the military organi zation. The Free Press knows nothing of the ease pending ngainst Major Bow man except what has been given out in the public press. It knows that he stands charged with attempting to ruin a twelve-year-old child nnd that his resignation was tendered and reported accepted. If be is guilty of the offense of which he is charged and js now out on bond, or of any attempt to commit rape, he shou'd not be allowed to resign, but should be stripped of his insignia before the public gaze and dishonorably dis charged. If innocent there is no reason for either his resignation or dismissal. She Had Him Down Pat.
