Salisbury Post. i Bankers are saying that they see i an increase in the habit of writing checks where there is "not sufficient funds.” There are those w’iio inno cently enough make a pass at over drawing a bank account, and there are others who do not, care a snap and bankers are smart enough to know where the line should be drawn. A local banker told The Post that last Saturday was a record day for his bank in this respect. He did not recall a day that brought so many de mands to pay where there was no funds and peihaps no likelihood- of funds to meet all drafts against it. Nearly every business man lias a few cheeks that have come back, some i with added protest charges, and the custom does not seem to decrease rather may be growing larger day by day. The whole story is that we are liv ing too fast, spending more than we have, and before we have it. and more than we are likely to have. In the final analysis the community hears | the loss, for the man who does not give as much as lie receives is a lia ■ bility to the community, and the com munity in the whole bears the burden, of .his upkeep just where he left off. PV It is far better to make no attempt > to pay a bill than to pay it with a check tha does not get past the pay ing teller’s window. Even intention is not as much as good some times. The “Check Off" gj Union miners are insisting on the “cheek off." f This has long been a bitter bone of } contention in the coni industry. It is a system whereby union dues and is lines are deducted from the miner’s pay envelopes and turned over to the ■ union. The miners insist that the shall collect these dues union men, just as the operators ake deductions from employees’ .pay envelopes for rents, clothing. [ food and other articles sold by the Leompany stores to the workers. But the operators opjiose the I “check off’ because they scent strat i'egy on the part of the unions to Lltrork out a disciplinary system that fiwiould more firmly fortify organized I labor at the mines.

The body is slung lower, the seats are lorwer and wider, and there is more room between the front and rear seats. More of a streamline effect has been obtained by raising the radiator cover. The size of the brake drums has been been increased to give greater braking power, so necessary in these days of heavy traffic. The touring car now has four doors and the roadster two. A one-piece windshield has been placed on the closed models.

M. Lower Floor 40c—Balcony 30c—Children 15c WITH ORIGINAL MUSIC SCORES BUSINESS AND THE OUTLOOK. Philadelphia Record. The last quarter or the year looms up with the coming of September 1. The summer months have developed nothing untoward with respect to in dustry and trade. In moet lines the present period shows considerably increased production over last year, with some of the gain in bulk lost in the total profits, due to softened prices. The Government's cotton crop estimate oil Monday, increasing its previous figures by 424,000 bales, led to selling which brought the staple to new low levels. The event of the last week was the calling of the strike in the anthracite regions, to take effect tomorrow. The Bureau of Mines gave out a statement that there is a sufficient supply of anthracite in stock for consumers until December 1. Meanwhile the Interstate Commerce Commission nas ordered a 10 per cent, reduction of freight rates which is expected to aid in bringing West Virginia and Kentucky bituminous coal ua a sub stitute for anthracite, particularly in the New England States. As for some weeks past, the trade reviews still report that business is gaining or gives promises of expan sion in the fall. The note of op timism is heard even where actual transactions are lagging somewhat- Dun's says that with constructive factors outnumbering adverse phases, confidence is sustained. One of the most stimulating is the augmented buying power of farmers in the West and the South, which is being reflected both in an increased consumption of good in rural sections and in larger demands in some of the big manufacturing centres. The at eel trade is benefiting from the improved agricultural situation, extensive pur chasing of material by implement makers being a feature, and the rate of mill operations .us risen further, with new additions to active ca pacity. Not all industries show the same degree of progress, but favor able reports predominate ami some of the statistical barometers that meas ure the volume of uaisnictions are etting new high records. Even the remarkably heavy railroad freight traffic in July has been surpassed during the current month, car load ings being without precedent for this season. Steel ingot production in August s expected to show an increase of between 5 and 10 per cent, over July’s figures, which are the lowest since last September. The rate of increase is not great, but it is be l'eved to be the forerunner of great er activity in the remainder of the year. The oil industry has been a re markably heavy buyer of steel for at least three months past, and H ap proaching its less active season. Fabricated structural steel bookings in June and July made the best showing for two consecutive months in over five years. Farm implement works this year are having their best ; run in 10 years and railroads are making rail replacements at their full normal rate, if not more. The automobile Industry is making var ious purchases of steel for prompt, and sometimes for rush sdlpment. This does not indicate an increasing rate of automobile production at the present time, but is taken as show ing that production is running heav ier than the automobile and part makers expected a couple of months ago when they laid tbeir plans for the current quarter. Mixed conditions exist in the tex tile trade, with complaints of a con tinuation of close profits in different quarters. But the markets are said to be seasonably active, with large transactions in silk. Productions in that line are considered aa unpre cedented. Output of cottons bolds up well, and woolen and worsted manu facture is reported as gaining. Cot ton sagged after the Government's crop estimate on Monday, and a slow downward movement continued throughout the week. Wool ' condi tion* are still unsettled. Prices con tinue to show a softening tendency. Trading in sole leather was quiet, with prices well sustained. Wheat closed the week with re newed liquidation in the Chicago market. The decline from tbs finish on Friday was S 1-4 to S cents, a near low on the crop. Corn continues td be a weather market. cn FBHNI ownowT pays "iiV > Post and Flagg’s Cotton Letter. New York. Sept. I—While show ing a somewhat firmer tone the mar ket does not reflect any real confi dence in n sustained recovery at present. Shorts have been covering to some extent not because of any change iu feeling but as n precau tionary means prior to a three days’ holiday to be followed at once by an official report as to the showing of which not the slightest certainty can be felt. It may confirm bearish values and lead to a prompt reinstatement of nny short lines that may have been i covered. The expectancy, nowever.! might prove a bearish disappointment by failing to confirm the higher private estimates ns on the last oc casion. The way is wide open for that as there has been plenty of de terioration and the pars for the re- I>ort, while larger than the last, are regarded as bullish since they are practically the lowest on record for the time of year. Moreover many who have been «h*rt have lately felt that there was much congestion on that side and that you never get poor by taking profits. Inquiries as to hedge selling fall to indicate that it has been any im portant. scale or if so it has not been through houses that ordinarily re ceive a large share of luch business. The inference is that the major iwirt of the selling has been speculative and while covering may have eased the technical position to some extent it is still strong enough to produce striking result if there should for any reason arise a general desire to cover and take the other side. Just why the fact thar heat and, drought have forced premature open ing and brought on the crop with a rush should be construed as eviaence of a large crop is beyond the ability of veterans in the trade to under stand- That has never before failed to be a warning that the crop is ac tually short and of poor staple on the nverage so that it spends poorly. Talk in some circles here, however, as to the effect of heat and drought would suggest that the best place to raise cotton would be the desert of Sahara. POST AND FLAGG. Touching Self-Denial.

Cole Praised and Pitied Ormond in Letter to Everett Raleigh News and Observer. “Bill is a good fellow and there is not much force to him, as you know, but somebody really should do some thing for him,” W. R. Cole wrote Sec retary of State W. N. Everett in April, 1923. when Cole's relations with W. W. Ormond, whom he shot to death on August 15th, were friend ly and close. | “He entered the service, was sent to Europe and was in the heavy part of the fighting for several months." Cole wrote Secretary Everett. “He was gassed, deafened and almost ev erything else except killed. He is left in bad shape and the government real ly Should do something for him. but like a great many other unfortunate fellows, they have turned hint loose to root hog or die.” “It is human nature to soon forget the obligations we owe such men," he declared. ! Cole was very friendly to Ormond In 1923. Ormtmd and hid daughtetU Elizabeth, were sweethearts. In the fall of 1924, the friendly relations ceased. In the spring of 1925, Cole and Ormond were parties to an agreement in which Ormond agreed to stay away from Miss Cole. Cole shot Ormond to death on August 15th. Secretary Everett, who is a close friend and cousin of Cole, made Cole's letter public yesterday. Mr. Everett is of the opinion that Cole will be found not guilty when he . comes to trial.’ V' Sentiment for Cole. “After the facts became known in Rockingham,” Sir. Everett told a group of newspapermen on his re turn from his vacation, “there was and is now a feeling that the com munity owes Cole a vote of thanks for restraining himself as long as he did. At first sentiment was almost one hundred per cent against him but it has changed entirely.” Cole described Ormond, in his let ter, an “quite a likeable fellow, full of wit and the best natured fellow you ever saw.” He declared that he . would give Ormond a place iu bis mills but fffr the fact that Ormond, on account of his health, must have outdoor work. He asked Mr. Everett to bring the matter Qf a position for Ormond to the attention of Governor Morrison if Everett could find no , place for him. He stated that he Wednesday, Sept. 2, 1925 was “writing without Hill's knowl edge.” The letter follows in full: Cole’s Letter. “Hannah Picket Mills, "Rockingham. X. C., “April 2C, 1923. “Mr. tV. X. Everett, “Raleigh. X. C. “Dear Cousin Will: “I am sorry I did not get to talk with you more yesterday. I expected when I saw you to see you again. X wanted to talk with you about a posi tion of some kind for Bill Ormond. Bill is a good fellow and there is not much force to him, as you know, but somebody really should do some thing for him. He entered the serv ice, was sent to Europe and was in the heavy part of t'ae fighting for several months. He was gassed, deafened, and almost everything else except killed. He is left in and the government really spoil 14 do - something for him but like a great many other unfortunate fellows, they * have turned him loose to roqf bug-or '•' v * i die. “If you have or can find anything for him tfiat he could do that would not be too close confinement for him, I am sure he would appreciate it. He is out of a job here and not being of much force in an office, he is find ing it a hard matter to get anything at all to do. Bill is quite a likeable fellow, full of wit, and the best , natural fellow you ever saw. If you . oou’d help him grt a place where he could make a living, you would be ” doing a work cf charity and at the same time help a boy whose life is almost wrecked by t'.ie trying ordeals he went through in Europe. It is human nature to soon forget the ob ligations we owe such men. I am writing this without Bill's knowledge. I feel sorry for the boy and wish that I had something I could put him at but our work in all inside among machinery, etc., which would not suit him. If you do not mind and have . nothing you could put him on to, you might mention this to the governor who could possibly find a place for , him somewhere. | “Thanking you and with best re gards for your continued health and happiness, I am, i “Sincerely yours, “W. B. COLE.”
