President Issues A Bitter
Broadside Against Cath

Seek Wealth and Power
KEEP MASSES OF
PEOPLE IGNORANT
/ Catholic Episcopate Con
tinues Unyielding in Its
Refusal to Accept Gov
ernment’s. Regulations.
Mexico City, Aug. 10.—0P)_The
situation arising from the govern
ment's rel : gious regulations ami their
rejection by Catholics today became
more tense. President Oalles issued
his bitterest broadside against the
Catholic clergy in a statement to an
“American good will mission." He
charged the clergy with seeking wealth
# ,I . ll< * Political power, causing revolu
tions and bloodshed and using their
pulpits for seditious speeches while
keeping the masses of the people ignor
ant. •
The Catholic episcopate continued
unyielding in its refusal to accept the
government's regulations; there was
Ho move to turn the priests to the
churches and the deadlock was appar
ently absolute, with no prospects of
reconciliation.
One of the chief developments is a
movement of depression and nervous
ness in business circles. The econom
ic situation was already' bad before
the religious regulations went into ef
fect, and to this now has been added
the effects of the boycott fostered by
the league for the defense of religious
liberty.
Silver exchange has slumped, the
discount ranging from 3 1-2 to 4 per
ceut., the highest in several years.
Prices of some’foodstuffs are advanc
ing and the people fear further rises.
Secretary of the Treasury Pani has
appointed a committee of experts to
study the econopiic situation and rec
ommend remedial measures.
Government employees have organ
ized a league for defense of the con
stitution, with the object of conduct

Only a few worshipers are seen in '
most of the Catholic churches. The I

Agrees With Cfcraeneean’s Message
Concerning Debts.
Baltimore, Aug. 9.—Richard H.
Edmonds, editor of the Manufactur
ers Record, in a cablegram to Georges-
C'; bienceau today told France’s war
time premier that “millions of Amer
icans agree with every word of your
letter to President Coolidge.”
“Millions of Americans deeply re
gret," lie said, “that for its own" hon
ors this country has not cancelled the
alleged indebtedness of France and
other allies for the money it advanced
with which to carry on a war for
world civilization and our national
safety.
“So long as wc seek to collect these
debts we are not following the Golden
Rule but are violating every prin
ciple of humanity nnd Christianity.
Millions of Americans take heart In
the belief that your appeal will stir
to the deepest depths that sense of
honor and responsibility to the world
which commands us to realize that
unto whom much has been given, of
him shall much be required.”

PRICE REDI’CTIONS
ON IfRIGIDAIKES DRASTIC
The Cut In Price* Range From S2O
„ to ICO Each.
Dayton, Ohio, Aug. 10—Drastic
price reductions effective immediately
on all lines of Frigidaire were an
nounced today. The cut in price
ranges from S2O to SOO. Increased
demand for Frigidaire. followed by in
creased production, is assigned as the
reason by E. G. Biechler. president
and general manager of Frigidaire.
“Through anticipated production
increases wc expect to materially low
er our production costs,” said Mr.
Biechier commenting on the annoiuice
ment. “We have sold more than
200,000 Frigidaires to date-—a larger
number than has been sold by all
other makers of electric refrigerators
combined. * We feel that the public
will demand Frigidaire in ever in
creasing quantities nnd now it is time
to pass on the savings that will be
accomplished.”
Frigidaire recently announced a
$20,000,000 factory expansion pro
gram which will give it ail output of
000.000 refrigerator units next year.
This new General Motors plant will
be completed within n short time and
will be in production early in 1927. |
The price ent affects Frigidaire
metal cabinet models, residential and;
commercial installations and also 1
cooling units designed for use in the
standard makes of ice boxes. I
'Retail sales for the first seven
months of 1926 indicate that wc will,
pass far beyond the $80,000,000 mnr
kgjt set as our goal for thia year.”]
Mr| Biechler said, ”We have every
reason to believe that cold weather!
•MiW'attl row many times higher than'
last year, for the public is just be
ginning to realize that it is summer
In' the kitchen the whole year round
and that adequate refrigeration is
needed every day in the year.”
“During the past twenty years the
expectancy of life of the average
American has been prolonged ten;
years. This has been done through
dissemination of knowledge of sanita
tion and health safeguards, plus the
fine work done by the government in
supervising the preservation of foods
in transit. Better refrigeration in
the 'dome is the next logical step.”
Rapid strides are being mude by
Frigidaire in the commercial refrig
eration field# Sales to grocers, res
taurateurs, meat dealers, druggists
and florists have more than doubled
in the past year. The tremendous
increase in this field is altogether due
to the great economies and added con
venience afforded by electric regrig
eration, Mr. Biechler stated.

Renewal of Yesterday’s Selling Move
ment.—Market Later Rallied.
New York, Ang. 10. — UP) —There
was a renewal of yesterday’s selling
movement in the cotton market at the
opening today. Liverpool was lower
than due under further selling inspir
ed by yesterday's government crop re
port and local selling was encouraged
by n favorable view of the weather j
map and expectations of a favorable
weekly review from the weather bu
reau. The opening was easy at a de
cline of 10 to 15 points or all but 6
or 7 points of yesterday’s late rally,
were lost during the first 'few minutes
with October selling off to 16.55 and
January to 16.54. Considerable trade
pricing was reported at the decline,
however, while also there was more
or less covering on reiterated reports
tfiat high temperatures were causing!
the crop to shed in the Southwest and
the market showed rallies of four or
five points from the lowest at the end
of the first half hour.
Cotton futures opened easy; Octo

-1 ( J er *kat the “«mn!l dairyman shou'd
. be put out of bindnews.” Dr. W. A.
? MoPhaul, city -county health officer
t yesterday declared that it was the
policy of ‘the health department to
i encourage as much as possible the
small dealer."
I had only two conversations

, Haid - "»»<t «t that time I positively
p made no such statements.
. "What I did say was that the
, small dairyman was not equipped to

would not try to improve, he ought
‘ not to be allowed to sell/’
The charges agaii.st the health de
partment were made Saturday at a
meeting of dairymen from surround
ing counties.
Charged Discrimination.
In the course of his speech Dr.
Alexander declared that the city
health authorities had a tendency to
cater to the larger dealer and dis-
I criminate against the small pro
ducer.
| “Dr. McPhaul admitted,” Dr. Alex
ander is quoted as saying, "that the
small denier ought to be put out of
| business for the reason thnt it is
much easier to regulate large eon
. eerns.”
It is harder to regulate small milk
| producers who have oue or two cows
l in summer and sell no milk In win- ’
jtor. said: Dr. lieKtun] ytwterdoy. .
“1 did .not s«y they shoulit lie put
out of business unless they would
not improve their plans. What the
city health department is interested
ill is giving Charlotte pure milk.
Wheq dealers do not comply with
health regulations, then I believe the
citizens will agree with me thnt
; something should be done to halt
them.
He Tells Why.
“For instunce, we know of one or
two of the small dealers who have
been seen to take bottles from one
porch, fill those bottles at the wagon
in the atreet. and then deliver them
to the next house.
“When such practices go on, then
it is the health department’s busi
ness to take a hand.
* “As for throttling the small deal
ers, that is not our wish. I wish we
could double the milk consumption
in Charlotte. But we would not want
it to be doubled at the cost of health,
and we would not desire that im
pure milk be pushed off on the pub
lic.
“More, better and safer milk is
our aim,” said Dr. McPhaul.
HICKORY TEAM DEFEATS

of the Day.
Kannapolis, Aug. 9.—Moose, for
mer aee of the Lenoir-Rhyne College
nine was in rare form today and
j the Towel Makem down with four
hits, Hickory taking the long end of
a 2 to 0 score in the first game of
the series.
Hodge was the scintillating star of
the day. both on defense and offense.
He handled six hard chances in
great style. He pushed over the only
earned run of the game in the first
inning when he doubled with a man
on base.
The second run came in the
fourth frame. Hodge was walked and
later crossed the plate on an error.
Otis Cashion played a great game
for the Towel Makers, handling all
bails coming his way without a Dob
ble.
Sherrill pitched what should have
been winning ball, but the inability
of his teammates to touch the offer
ings of Moose caused him to lose the
hard fought affair.
The two nines play the second
game of the series today. The strong
Mount Holly team will be taken on
the latter part of the week.

SHORTAGE OF CARS
FOR PEACH SHIPPERS
,K Is Said That This Has Canned
a Loss of Thousands of Dollars.
Tribune Bureau .
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh. Aug. 10.—Has a mutual
agreement between two friendly and
I eo-operating railroads to eliminate
competition by a third railroad in
handling the bulk of the North Caro
lina peach crop been the oaus» of a
loss of thousands-of dollars to tile
sandhills fruit shippers These ship
pers are inclined to think so and
many say so emphatically, as many
carloads of peaches have had to be
dumped or buried owing to the Ina
bility of shippers to get cars as ord
dered. Finally, with a shortage of
85 ears last Friday, complaint was
made to the Corporation Commos
sion. Saturday, for the first time
in almost a week, there were enough
ears, and tfie Norfolk and Southern I
has promised that for now on there
will be enough.
The growers complain, however,
thnt the Norfolk and Southern had
an agreement with the Southern to
get all its refrigerator ears from the
Southern from Spencer, nnd to route
nil shipments over the Southern, in
stead of also making use of the Sea
board facilities, nnd that when a
shortage of cars occurred at Spencer,
they failed to deliver the cars, when
they might have made up the defi
ciency by calling on the Seaboard at
Hamlet.

LARGE COTTON CROP
IS NOW EXPECTED
Indications Are For More Than I
. Million Bales in North Carolina.
' '"jl... Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, Ang. 10.—Within less
than a month and a hall the cry of
ruination has changed to the evidence
sos another large cotton corp, accord
ing to the careful judgment of more
than a thousand farmers in North
C'aro.ina, based on August Ist condi
tions, With a condition of 70 per
cent., the indications are for more
than a million hales of cotton in
North Carolina this year. The offi
cial estimate was for a 11 per cent,
increase in acreage and 244 pounds
per acre prospective yield.
The prediction of the crop report
ing service of the department of ag
riculture during the drought condi
tions of middle June “that a late and
dry spring usually resulted in a good
cotton crop" is now becoming evi
dently true. While the stand is un
doubtedly irregular, averaging ap
proximately four-fifths of a perfect
stand, and the development of the
plants from two to four weeks late,
July resulted in the plants putting on
an abundance of squares. It was
blooming bountifully when the rainy
period in late July began. Since
that time, the plants have done more
growing than fruiting. In the main,
the cultivation has been good and the
plants have been able to utilize a
maximum of the artificial plant food
supplied them in the form of ferti
lizer.
There was the smallest number of
bi 11s considered safe on August Ist
that had been evident for many years.
It was estimated that the first grown
! boll would be made on an average
date of August 9th, while the fust
. boll would open about September Ist.
This is appreciably later than previ
ous years have shown. The best
stands and the development of the!
plants are to be found in the north
eastern areas of the state, while the
poorest conditions exist along the
South Carolina border, extending up
into Cumberland county. Stands here
i are very poor and the development of
the plants weak and small. Fruiting
appeared to be heavy. The rains in
late July aided this section to a tre
mendous degree.
Johnston county usually has one
of the best crop conditions in the
state, and the crop from Wake north
ward is very poor. The controlling
fnctor in the state's production this
year will probably be the weather as
the boll weevil does not appear now
i to offer sufficient signs of damage to
be alarming. The effects of the cot
ton hopper or flea is very limited
and will probably not menace appre
: ciab’.e areas of the state. Continued
rains will deaerease the production,
• while dry weather for a limited time
will result in a crop of a million
, bales.

Chicago, 111.. Aug. 10.—C4»)—Elect
ors of four states. Alabama. Ohio,
Arkansas and Nebraska, express their
preference for candidates in today's
primary elections.
Alabama democrats choose between I
five candidates who seek nomination ■
to the sent of Oscar W. Underwood,!
on March 4. 1927. Four candidates
seek the gubernatorial nomination.
Two of the Senatorial aspirants.
L. Musgi’ove, of Jasper, ntul Hugo l!
Berk, of Birmingham, were endorsed |
by the Ku Klux Klan. the national 1
organization backed Musgrove, while
the Alabuma Klan favored Beek.
Other candidates are J. H. Bank
head. of Jasper. Thos. E. Kilby, of
Anniston and James J. Mayfield, of
Montgomery.
Each of the four gubernatorial can
didates made road building an issue,
each campaigning for a different plan,
thus making the primary an indirect
referendum on the question. Ohas. A.
McDowell, Jr.. Lieut.-Govpruor; A.
11. Carmichael. Bibb Graves and A.
G. Patterson are the condidates. <’on
gressmen from ten districts will be
nominated along with county officers.
The most spirited campaign in 12
years was waged, ami fully 225.000
voters were expected to go to the
polls.
Ohio voters were faced with a pre
ponderance of candidates. Eighty
seven republicans and democrats seek
state office nominations. Interest was
centered in the republican raee for I
Governor, and the democratic contest
■ for IT. S. Senator, the leading candi
dates for the later being Supreme
Court Justice Florence E. Allen, and
Atlee Pomerorie, for twelve years a
senator from Ohio, until defeated by
Senator 8. I). Fess.
A woman and a negro are among
the twelve republican gubernatorial i
candidates, which included Thadj
Brown, present secretary of state, and i
Myers Y. Cooper, Cincinnati real es-'
tate maii.
IT. S. Senator Frank B. Willis is i
opposed by seven republicans, one be-1
ing former senator Charles Dick, of |
Akron. Willis' nomination was re-:
garded as certain by republican lead-'
era.
Governor A. V. Ponahey, generally j
was conceded victory over tliro» i spir
ants for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination.
Seventeen men. twelve republicans
and five democrats, aspired to lie Lieu
tenant' Governor. Large field-i like
wise seek nomination to other state
offices. Nominees for Congress, the
legislature and county offices also
were being voted on. A constitutional
amendment which would permit ben
efitted property to be assessed for im
provements attracted little attention, j
Political workers said today that
interest in the primary has been slug
gist nnd predicted a light vote. Is-1
sues werefew and of no great consc-:
quence, they said.
Chief interest in the Arkansas pri
mary centered in the gubernatorial j
nomination. Gov. Tom .f. Terra! is
opppsed by John E. Martinenu, judge
of Pulaski chancery court. They wag
ed a bitter campaign, the Governor
charging that Judge Martinenu drank
so excess, while the judge accused the
Governor of abusing h : s power in is
