MISS ROSAMUND VICE CHAIRMAN Resolutions Endorsing the State Administration and Judge Oglesby and in Honor of Late Maj. Foil. Thr Democratic county convention nt the court house here Saturday was featured by excellent attendance and a fine spirit of harmony. Everything moved off with speed and precision, the delegates from every precinct in the comity being present to give their vote to the various matters presented to them. After the convention the executive committee met and elected C.\A. Iseu- hour as its chairman. Miss Rosa Mund, vice chairman of the county executive committee, called the convention to order and asked Hon. L. T. Hartsell to act as ebair man. J. P. Cook and A. C. Oline were named secretaries of the con vention. The first roll call of precincts de veloped the fact that authorised del egates from every township and vot ing precinct in the county were pres ent. From some townships as many ns a dozen were present and Kan napolis was represented by a delega tion of about fifty. While the convention was called primarily for the purpose of naming delegates to the State convention to be held in Raleigh Thursday, other matters of interest and importance to the party were transacted. Chief among these were the endorsements given several resolutions introduced, these resolutions endorsing the coun ty and state governments, the work of Judge John M. Oglesby as Superior Court Judge, of Miss Rosa Mund as vice chairman and of the late Major W. A. Foil, and a party worker. The resolution of respect and ap preciation of Major Foil and his work, was presented by Hon. Sam Black, member of the lower house of the State Legislature. . The resolution reads: “Whereas, since the last assembly of the representatives of the democ racy of Cabarrus county death has claimed a distinguished member there of in the person of Major William Archibald Foil, our county chairman and our member of the Senate of North Carolina. "Resolved, therefore, this conven tion, while bowing to the will and wisdom of the Architect and Con troller of the Universe, desires to pub licly and officially record our great sorrow in the passing of Major Foil, and to express our loss of his pres ence in our councils, his devotion to and leadership in our cause; and while profiting ourselves by the in spiration of his services we commend to all Jeffersonian followers bis ex ample of fidelity to and activity in behalf of democracy in the county, in the state and in the nation. "Be it further resolved: That a copy of this resolution be sent to the family of Major Foil, a copy to the press of the city and that it be spread upon the minutes of this conven tion." The vote of thanks to Miss Mund came after J. J,. Crowell Jr., had of fered a verbal resolution of apprecia tion and condemnation, he having prepared no regular resolution. The resolution of endorsement for the excellent work done by Judge Oglesby was presented to the conven tion by B. E. Harris. It reads: “Deeply appreciating the great hon or conferred by Governor McLean up on our county tn his appointment of one of our prominent and leading citizens, Hon. John Montgomery Oglesby, Judge of the Superior Court for the fifteenth district, and noting with much pride and satisfaction the very able manner in which Judge Oglesby is conducting the business of the courts in this and other districts of the state, as reflected by the ex pressions of the bar and press, this convention of Judge Oglesby’s home people desires to add its hearty en dorsement of his record and to com mend his candidacy for election to the voters of the district and the state. The fourth resolution, praising the work of county and State officials, was read to the convention by A. B. Palmer. Its text follows: “We, the Democrats of Cabarrus county in convention assembled, en dorse the management of our county affairs by our present county officers as being at all times considerate, Both of private rights and public needa, and as being to a high degree cour teous, economical, and efficient; and we pledge for our officials charged with the administration of the county affairs when continued in office t by the votes of our people, renewed and greater efforts for the welfare of the people. “Our State administration we heart ily endorse as being) the most progres sive of any state in the union, and especially In that it has wrought such unequalled and unparallelled improve ments in public highways, public schools, public health and public Wed fare generally without one cent of State tax on the real or personal (Continued on Page Two) The Concord Daelt Tribune . .

April 20—In the face of ' a gain of 107 prisoners during the ■ first nine months of the present fiscal ' year, there has been an iticrense of 210 in the number of honor prisoners ' a gain of 223 in the number of ' convicts employed in road construc tion and quarry work, according to a cumulative report for the third quarter made public by George Ross Pou. prison superintendent. On June 30. 1025, the prison pop illation was 1.3G3, with 588 whites and 775 negroes. On March 31, 1020, there were 1,470 prisoners, C2O whites and 850 blacks. At the close of the last fiscal year there were 379 men employed on the roads and in the quarries. This had bpen increased to 602 by March 31, 14120. In September, 1025, there were only twenty men in honor camps. There are now five such camps with a total of 125 men and, in addition, 328 prisoners in honor class at the eeptral prison, the two farms and six construction camps, making a total of 507 out of the 1,470 convicts. Su perintendent Pou and Dr. J. H. Nor man. Warden-physician, are much pleased with the success which has attended operations at the honor camps and have in view the opera tion of at least one of the three farm l units altogether with men in honor grade. ' It has become generally accepted in penal administration circles that the honor system, properly and broad ly used, does more to bring to the prisoners self-respect, self-restraint and self-confidence than any other one thing. The placing of a/ man in honor grade, Superintendent Pou points out, is only a stepping stone to the prisoner's reclamation to so ciety as a good citizen, by which he will become an asset, rather than a liability. Superintendent Pou and Dr. Nor man last month established three new honor camps, one at Morehead Bluffs, one at Gorman and the third under Pisgah Mountain in Trannsylvania county. The two officials traveled some 3,000 miles during the month in carrying out the added work attend ant upon the establishment of the new comps. The other honor camps are near Zebulon and in Bladen coun ty- Selection of proper advisory offi cials has much to do with the suc cess of honor camps. Few escapes have been recorded in the past few months, only one jn the past sixty days. When prisoners are commit ted, they are informed of their new' duties and of the regulations and cus toms through lectures by Deputy Warden H. H. Honeycutt. They are given to understand that the prison officials are as anxious as are they that sentences be served in the shortest possible time and that the rules which all prisoners must obey are for their benefit. The pris oners, once assigned to cells, are put to work, the nature' of the duties given them paralleling as closely as is possible the work in which they were engaged outside the penitentiary. While work, and plenty of it, is the lot of every able-bodied convict, there are hours for recreation. In the road camps, ten hours constitute a day’a work, while the hours usually are longer, as is the usual thing on privately owned and operated farms. Recreational activities outside of i*. u ."i" .

THE COTTON MARKET Opened Barely Steady at Decline of 6 to 8 Points.—May Selling at7 18.57. New York, April 26.— UP) —The cot ton market opened barely steady to day at a decline of 4 to 8 points on prospects for better weather in the South and relatively easy Liverpool cables. Liquidation of May contracts in anticipation of possible notices here tomorrow, ns well as realizing or sell ing of raw crop months developed af ter the advances of last week, but the market steadied around 18.57 for May and 17.30 for October on covering with some commission house and for eign trade buying on new crop months. A private report pointed to a de crease of 2.3 per cent, in the acreage with an increase of 1 per cent, in the use of fertilizer. Another authority reports prospects for a decrease of only 1 per cent, in acreage, but neith er report seemed to have much effect on the early market. Cotton futures opened barely steady May 18.63; July 18.11; October 17.35; December 17.02; Jftnuary un quoted. Money is the root of all" evil, and the lack of it the cause of' all worry. work hours are encouraged, as long ns they do not interfere With the duties of the convicts. The routine 1 is accepted philosophically by most of the convicts, Superintendent Pou re ports, with only occasional complaints of mistreatment. These usually come from convicts known among their fel lows as "badeggs” and “their own worst enemies," he added. The position of the prison- superin tendent is a peculiarly difficult ouc. In addition to t'.ie executive and ad ministrative duties imposed upon most institutional heads, the incumbent has general supervision of more than 6,- 500 acres of land under cultivation and must purchase supplies, equip ment and fertilizers for. the several huge farms; purchase and distribute food supplies for nearly 1,700 prison ers and employees; purchase and dis tribute all clothing, supplies and ma terials for the nearly 1,500 prisoners, and inspect regularly the fourteen camps, which, in itself, requires a trip of more than 1,000 miles. These are only a few of the duties and re sponsibilities, but illustrate the dif ficulties, siuce the farms and camps are scattered from Morehead Bluffs, on the eosat, to Belva, in the mouh tains near the Tennessee line, Each prisoner in each camp must have food, clothing equipmnt and other supplies, which makes the problem almost four teen times as complex as if the men were concentrated at one point. The report contains high praise of the fine work being done among pris oners by various persons interested in the welfare of the convicts and, their relatives on the outside. Mention is made of the work at Caledonia farm by Mrs. Lawrence, Mrs. Kitchin, Mr. Josey and others. At Raleigh, es pecial mention is made of the efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Joe- Wethers, Mrs. W. H. Bond, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Loom is Goodwin, Mr. and Mrs. White and others. The prison officials co-oper ate in every way possible. Each week, for instance, a list of the newly arrived convicts, with’ addresses of relatives and friends on the outside, is furnished a group of interested persons in Raleigh and, through them, contact is maintained with the un fortunate families of men behind the bars. CONCORD, N. C., MONDAY, APRIL 26, 1926 HEW FRENCH OFFER lOTSITIWM : to ms com France Must Revise New ) Offer for Settlement of j Its War Debt, the Debt 1 Commission States. BERENGER’SACTS GIVEN APPROVAL In Paris Deputies Think He Has Taken the Best Course.—France To Pay England During Year. Washington, D. (’., April 26.—-fA 3 ) | —France must revise its new offer for settlement of its war debt to (his j eountry, the American debt comuiis- Ii sion decided today. The decision was reached at the second meeting of the American eoin | mission to study the proposal put for ward last week by French Ambasra ! dor Berenger. Secretary Mellon will confer with the ambassador before negotiations ftre resumed. Although France will be asked to modify its offer, it was emphasized today by the American commission T that die latest discussions have not r been terminated. One of the principal hitches is how ■ much France shall pay at the outset. ■ Mr. Berenger proposed initial pay ments of $25,000,000 annually but ■ the eommmission is understood to de sire higher first payments. The eommmission hopes to work out an agreement on a trading basis without formally submitting a count er proposal pending submission by the French ambassndof to a new offer. The negotiations do not depend on the controversial safety clause which would relieve France of its debt re sponsibilities in the event of failure of Germany to meet its reparation payments. The American debt com mission has expressed itself firmly against this, and Ambassador Ber enger is not expected to insist on such a guarantee. Bcrenger’s Tactics Approved. Paris, April 26.—(4 s )—The finance comminittee of the chamber of depu ties generally approved Ambassador Berenger’s tactics in the debt fund iitg negotiations at Washington after Premfer Briand and, Fj nance Minis ter Pefet had explained the situation! this afternoon.
