This paper may be partisan in its , sympathy with the cotton growers [ and the textile interests of the South j t° the extent that its views ccncern ivg.tbe bi-weekly cotton estimates of I W* fedwal government are somewhat efdored. Nevertheless it is more t'uan ever convinced by the report of last ‘feirie.A 8 - on the ri * h f tT ? ek - • ago the ‘forecaster* raised their estimate of the siae of the crop about fonr hundred thousand bales and as a result the price dropped from a. half to a cent a pound in one day, but later steadied a little, i Last Thursday they came along and added 828,000 more probable bales to their estimate of only two weeks be fore. bringing the total estimated crop to 15,739,000 bales, or more than a million bales larger than the crop of last year. The natural result was that the “bottom fell out” of prices and growers today stand; dis couraged and more or lesa indignant | that the guessing of a bureau of their I government has cost them many mil ls lions .of dollars. When these forecasters change their estimates 820,000 bales in two brief g weeks, after the cotton plants have 1 »H stopped growing and the crop has 1 been made, it is no wonder that Sen § ator Heflin declared that their work 31 was about as reliable-as counting the « hairs on a dog’s back by merely looks I jS ing at the dog. * It is true that ’ginning reports j showed over seven million bales ginned * before the last report, but it is also |i true, may it also be .repeated, that f heavy ginning began earlier than in § years in nearly every cotton • groW | ing county of the South, due to the ' if general dry and hot weather causing | rapid maturity.

New York, Oct.' 17.—Muhicians, are predicting a revolution in music and the development of a new type of mits- I ieal composition ns the result of an invention which has just been tried oht in this city.

A new principle in piano construction, de spending upon a'fourth pedal, and re volving splats, which open or close inside a grand piano; has been intro duced .to give this effect. ÜBR PENNY COLUMN—IT PAYS It Seems That People Really Love to Be .Humbugged. Mon Coe Enquirer. Well, well! It doth appear that our people do love to be humbugged and bamboozled and messed up by slick-tongued agCqts. Here In Union counfy for ttie past several weeks stove agents in automobile trucks have combed the county, selling 'Stoves priced $139 each—half down'and the balance next fall—with a note bear ing six pUssent intrust! • * >■ Maybe I would not have learned all this had not two friends of mine—a man and bis over in (loose Crick, happened in the Heath Hard ware next door to The Enquirer of fice one day last week. ‘‘What & pretty 'range,”, said the lady as she opened the oven door to one of the blue enameled cooking de vices in the hardware store. “What is the price?” sbe asked of Gilmer Joce. “Eigbty-five dollars,” said the polite salesman. “And a ni{e set of cook ing utensils go with it!” “The law!? excaimed the lady. ‘‘Why,\one of my neighbors bought g range from a peddler the other day and paid,sl39 for it.” "Over here is a range- the agents are selling.” Joyce rejpHed. “We want only SSO for it—guaran teed to be just as good. in evlry re spect as the agents are selling for $139.” , , "Well, I sure am gjad we didn't iAiy the $139 range when he can get the same thing for $50.” . K : “Yes’m; you save SB9 wh'eh you buy fromaus,” said Joyce. .„ I investigated a little further and found that the wily agents are sell ing half down, half next fall, and lots of persons have fallen into the sepme. They have paid double the value as the stoves, r.o doubt, and of course the notes given are ’.‘pure- velvet” to the stove manufacturers in a distant state. And if they have done, as most fellows of their like, these same' notes have been “Shaved” perhaps 10 to 25 per eent and are now in the hands of local bankers or individuals —waiting for the next faH! Not only is the Heath hardware Company selling a range for SSO, but I understand these same ranges may bo had at Marsbville, Waxhaw, Win gate and Ipdian Trail from the loeal merchants, who are ever redy to make good .their assertions about goods sold.

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE THE COLE VERDICT. Lexingpln DiapaV h. “This paper *S*riouply disapprove* the (Jcle Verdict.purely and simply be- P*"Sie the state aiid’ hation cannot’ long survive such, jUiscatriagea of jus tioe.J says t’.ie Salisbury Post in its editorial comment on the acquittal of the Rockingham killer. “Tite verdict found at Rockingham will give new conrage to very sneak ing. cowardly impulse" to be i-evenged that lurks in the heart of any North Carolinian able to'pay the price for his defense after the fact of murder. The verdict is a blow to law and or der.” Kiua the High Point Enter prise concludes its comment on the ending of the trial. “It is a verdict that shocks the state's sense of justice.” says The Raleigh New! and Observer -in the coutse of a lengthy editorial review in which it holds that the jury din carried the law and evidence. The Raleigh paper indicated that a verdict «f,manslaughter would not, have been displeasing. "How. will justice in North Caro-' liqa fare midst such a clamor?" asks the Winston-Salem Journal in review-, ing some of the comments made by the people of the state upon learning of the verdict, and it adds: “What .haunting mockery comes back from 'the tombs of scores who died at rope’s end or in electric chairs in North Carolina kho knew not the magic charm of suhh mystic answers as •self-defense' and ‘transitory insan ity' ”.!. The Greensboro News points, out .that the “unwritten law" has been expanded by the'verdict of the jury in justifying the killing of Ormond on the ground of insanity. The Newa expresses regrets that' the con tents. -ot Miss Cole’s letters to Or mond were not made puDlio. The Charlotte Observer takes a very mild view of the ease but seem ingly holds that under the charge of .Tadge Finley the jury could not free Cole on the slander plea unless it discarded the law. The action of the jury “was fair neither to Bill Ormond nor the people of North Carolina, and was in direct violation of the judge’s charge," holds the Raleigh Times, which adds that if Oole should be held as an insane man then the judiciary must follow ‘'the precedent set. by the jury and decide to let the law go hatig.” The Wilmington Star accepts the verdict and voices t'.ie faith that the courts continue to be the only satis factory vehicles for redressing public or private wrongs. “The Star is glad the jury did not say the killing of Ormond was justified. The thought that one may take the life of another for any wrong or grievance, however great, is not justified by law," it con cludes. The Concord Times takes the vfew that the jury acquitted Cole solely on the slander basis which the court had toid it was not a legal defense. "There is not written law that would turn Mr. Cole loose, but this jury h>s taken, another step for the ' unwritten law.” says the Catawba News-Eenterprise. The Robesonian of Lumberton thinks “it was evidently not a, verdict according to the law and evidence,” although it points out that many in that community approve of killing under the circumstances and hold that- “the fact that it is outraging the majesty of the law and trampling it under foot seem to make no dif ference.” .A great body of the local press in the state has not yet had ooportunity to give expression to the matter, but comment as a whole .will perhaps run true to the examples given above. ' As this paper sees it, there are sev eral tragic aspects to this case.- One of these is that the defendant swore that he prayed much over the matter and then virtually acted on the feel ing that he was doing right.. He has committed a graver crime perhaps in this statement than he did with his pistol. We don’t believe the God we try to worship in a feeble way, the God who said "Thda shalt not kill,” reversed Himself for the benefit of Bill dole. Nor does this paper believe that any juror got the assent of God to violate the oath he had taken to try this case according to the law and the evidence. Such things as these strike at the root of ,tbe faith of men and are deplorably unfortunate. • This paper is ever lastingly tired of wabbly creatures, trying to pass the responsibility to the Creator. There is another aspect overlooked by most om those who have sympa thized with Cole for killing because be swore he believed his daughter had been slandered. They ask the ques, tion: “What would you do if it were your daughter?” One wonders how mahy of them have reversed this ques tion and asked themselves how they would feel if their son shduld be shot down from behind because forsooth he had done a very foolish things eight months before? Would they feel that another was jdstified to sluaghter him in this manner and then go on the stan4 and hide behind the flimsy ex cuses that he was insane, that he killed in self-defense,-and then, real ising this was not enough, pull his lUnghter’s reputation between him gnd the legal consequences .of his get? If the “unwritten law” is to be ex panded by one jury to cover this crime, then who shall say that an other jur# shall not declare the “un written laW” to cover other excuses in fact just as plausible? To con tend that the jury did otherwise than gceept the defense plea of justification appears ridiculous. Earthquakes Laid to RadC!” > Tokio, Oct. 17.—Rhdio has been blamed for causing many unpleasant phenomena. The latest charge t*be laid at its dohr is made by Dr. Naka mura, an eminent Japanese scientist, who has just completed a research of the district of Sanin, where seme, earthquakes have taken placs fthis year. Dr. Nakamura advances the theory th#t the earth, instead oflcen- ’ tracting as It cools toward the centre, is expanding on account of wireless activity setting up an internal pres- i sure. He believes that pressure «uch < as this from flie interior of the tarto < causes the earthquakes. i tdlK '.*». u-.’t i£. "JL\ lie MR. BROOKS’ COMPLAINT. R. R. Clark in Greensboro News. Upl,raiding the newspaper folks for esftii'ising the Verdict of a jury in i a somewhat noted case recently con cladcit, Mr. A. L. Brooks, of coun sel for ('lie defense, is quoted as say ing : “The action of the jury wan not a violation of the law. The law says that the fate of a man faced With a criminal charge shall be de cided by twelve of his fellow ryen, and their verdict shall be abided by.” Is that do? The inference is that tie verdict of a jury automatically becomes law. is sacred, and may not he criticised. Anyway Mr. Brooks f>ys it must be “abided by.” Then It Would be interesting if Mr. Brooks would tell the audience why he and other attorneys spend much of their time thying to upset verdicts of juries. If the verdict in the Rock ingham case had been averse to Mr. Brooks would, he have insisted tliaf it’ should be "abided by,” t'hat it was Ijficred ? Well, hardly. In moving to set that verdict aside Mr, Brooks have declared that it was an te outrage, contrary to the weight of evidence; and they would have •lie court, in polite language, but would have told him, as Mr. Brooks ftreported to have told him at Wilkisboro that he erred and leaned too much to tie defense. Not in words bijj in effect, had the verdict been otherwise, Mr. Brooks and as sociated counsel would have called heaven to witness that the jury did fiot know what it was doing and that he judge was little better. Failing of relief in the eourt below, as they would have failed, they would have hurried to the higher court with their story of juror, and judicial ignorance, demanding another hearing. Failing ing the higher court the governor would have been bes'ought, early and late and between times, to set aside the judgment of the court, on the ground that the trial was unfair and justice was outraged. Jury verdicts automatically become law. they are sacred and may not be callPd ill question, when they go Mr. Brooks' way. Otherwise they are probably an outrage on justice and should be set aside speedily. But possibly it is\tbe Brooks theory that Criticism of verdicts and of court pro cedure is the- exclusive privilege of lawyers. Whatever this theory, t'iiere is no quarrel with him here on ac count of his Criticism of newspapers. Thnt is liis privilege, and if he can say more abont the newspaper folks than some of them can say about the legal fraternity, the verdict of juries and the conduct of courts, he is more than welcome to proceed. Mr. Brooks is sure editors' “would be the first to hoWI if the jury system were abol ished." Might possibly be mistaken about that. In fact there may be some who would accept the change Without objection on the idea that it might be for tile better and could hardly be for the worse. There seems to be nothing sacred about court practice to lawyers determined to win at all hazards and at any cost. When court procedure may invite neither reverence nor respect, some newspaper writers we wot of are not going? to lie about it and pretend to respect that which does not command respect. • Those who would have equity must de equity, the lawyers sometimes say. Those who would have respect must command it. .Cook Has Another Big Idea. Lexington Dispatch. Another big idea has entered into the head and heart of that fine spirited North Carolinian, Col. J. I*. Cook, of Concord. Not satisfied with being the real “Father .of the Jackson Training School,” doing ,so muck for the uplift of wayward boys, he now proposes to build- a $75,f1D0 hospital at the institution ttyit those young delinquents may receiva the medical and surgical treatment so much needed by many who are sent there. His idea is to get 75 public spirited and big hearted men and women in the state to donate SI,OOO each and to use that fund in erecting and equipping the hospital. And seemingly, ne com menced at Albemarle, for last week ■ Col. Cook carried the announcement in hia paper, The Uplift, that Mr. John 8. Rfird of this p!aee. has donated. SI,OOO as a nest egg. In announcing the donation by the Albemarle naan, Col. Cook makes this statement, after quoting Mr. Kfird’s letter which accompanied the gift. This letter of Mr. Efird, one of I the state’s most successful and far seeing gentlemen, is a pleasant and most hearten inf proof that the pro pnsition will appeal to the hearts and purse of people who hear the call for help.

In the last week's issue of Charity nnd Children Rev. J. T. P.iddirk, a pastor of wide experience, painted a picture of n certain type of evangelist that was true to life. Evangelists of the right sort piny a large and important purt in the promotion of the Kingdom. Among these- the evangelists of our Home nnd State Mission Board are being great service nnd are worthy of the confidence and esteem of our people. But there is another Class, so well described by Mr. Biddiek.- who bring discredit on the cause they pretend to represent, as well as upon them selves. of the type of the Rev. Sin it hers Gusher, are all too common. They are out for the money, and apparently for nothing else. A preacher so keen for money that everything else is overshadowed, is .not fit for his job. Paul was per haps the greatest evangelist the world has known and he worked with his own hands in the family where he lodged and we have no doubt paid well for. his board and. keep. He made no demands on the people to whom he preached. Think of Paul caling for the, best hotel in town and free transportation to and from the church for himself and his singers! And the appointment of a committee to- gather up ham and chickeus in addition to the large cash colection for his service! Money mongers have no business in the pulpit. The preacher of the gospel, whether he be evangelist or pastor, who is too anxious about his com pensation loses his influence and curtails his usefuless. But this pas sion for money seems to posess a certain type of evangelist, and he usually lands at last where Smith ers Gusher did—without work and in poverty. Demanding the easy and opulent life i,s not showing forth the spirit of the Master. The Lord’s mes senger does not live in’ luxury, and men like Gusher who demand that they be petted and pampered soon reach the end of their row. They dis credit the Christian religion and make the road rough and steep for worthy ministers. The love of money has exactly the same effect upon a preacher that it has on every body else. It is the root of all evil and brings disappointment and dis aster at last. Flappers Adopting Mod Guard Leg Attire.

Last Sunday I attended worship at Ridgecrest and just before the min iiter began to preach a young man was called on to sing a solo. Head thrown back, his face showing anima tion without affectation, ho began to sing. The song was one whicli was popular for solos a few years ago, “Tell me the story of Jesus.’’ His voice was good but not remarkable, his personality was sufficient without being especially impressive, but into voice and mien crept the pleading tones of the song. It was not easy for some present to restrain tears. When he was through every one pres ent wanted to hear the story of Jsus, was eager to listen to the preacher tel] tlie beautiful story anew. As I write I remember a song which Miss Highsmith sometimes sings in the tabernacle, “I want to live closer to Hii»J’ That song never losts its charm, it always mellows the hearts of those who listeji. Several yeare ago, when I was pastor in another city, there was a young woman of charming voice and personality who used to sing solos when sufficiently! urged. She always sang some pro duction which would show off the compass, of her splendid voice, but which left the hearer without spirit ual reaction. One day she was per suaded to sing a simple gospel song. She was so much opposed to singing it that she required the pastor to announce that it was sung by special request. Somehow she managed to get into the feeling of the song as she went along, and when she was through she was filled with astonishment by the sight of a congregation in tears. She learned that day that it is better to sing to yeach the heart than to win applause and court compliments. I However, she did receive a number of compliments, and from persons COURT CALENDAR The October Term of Cabarrus Superior Court will con vene October, 19th, 1925, before His Honor Judge Henry P.

MCALLISTER, Clerk Superior Court. * m * PAGE THREE who had never enjoyed her Ringing before. The point js tin’s, the only reasoh for a solo is to stir hearts to worship! To sing a soio just to show off is as uiyunietified an net as it would be to parade up the aisles crying out, “See' my new hat and notice my beautiful complexion.” Operatic airs in an opera house do stir a certain class of emotions, which may be perfectly proper nd their place, but they do not produce an atmosphere of wor ship and therefore they are out of place in church. Another kind of songs out of place in church are beau tiful little ditties about birds, sun sets, and flowers. The place for them is in the home or parlor, or preferably the nursery. Our advice to soloists, one and all, would be to put Jesus into your songs and use simple airs such as can sing themselves in our hearts during the succceeding week. The best test of an effective solo is the number of people who hum it as they go about their work the next week. Assail Freak Ciotiies of Fashionable Men.
