j People entitled to the facts.
I The board of education in Mecklenburg
county has been rather upset lately by charges
ihat Charlotte schools have not received all
pf the money due them from county taxes.’
Bpoks of the city and county school depart
n'ents have been audited to determine just
now much has been paid and what amount, if J
*»y. IS. still due the city.
v, So much agitation has been aroused by the
■audit; and other facts in the case that the coun
1y board seems determined to tell no one any
hing. • In the Charlotte News we learn fliat at
recent meeting of the board newspaper rep
jl’esentatives were asked to leave the meeting
|toom and the door was shut in their faces. The
Aboard wanted to talk in secret and that i.s
t just what it did.
r There may be when such action is
necessary but in a case of this kind we ques
, tion the judgment displayed. People of Meek-
Menburg are rather uncertain about what has
happened and they will be more skeptical if
they get the impression that the hoard desires
jUv-iransact its business in secret. Os course,
ftlhat’s just what the board wanted and that's
M'hat it did.
II After the meeting a formal statement was
issued setting forth the position of the board
it regard to the controversy with the city
joard. That’s all well and good but the peo
ple are entitled to know how the statement
ivas prepared and what discussion accompan
pd its preparation. It is not just enough to
jijell the people that so and so has been agreed
Upon.
Ij The Mecklenburg hoard and every other
jjljoard for that matter, spends the tax money
|l>aid public and the people are entitled
jt'o know anything they want to know. There
jis no way for the people to get the facts except
ithrough the newspapers and it is nothing but
for suspicion to be aroused when board
jtnembers decline to conduct their business in
Jthe presence of newspaper men.
I If they have nothing to conceal why the se
cret meeting? If they were discussing plans
to be cairried out with their own money they
would have a right to exclude the public, as
Represented by the press, hut county officials
j pend the people’s money and the people have
i | right to know where the money goes, how it
i ;oes and the attitude of every official who
| pends' it. >
| HARD TO GET THE BIG FELLOWS.
: We haven’t heard any one in discussing the
Daugherty-Miller case express the belief that
either would ever serve a sentence.
« A majority of those with whom we have
|felked about the case frankly admit they have
Iflo idea the former government officials will
llte cottticted. They base their logic on the
ted assumption that it is mighty hard to get
ItheWg fellows.
§! Others think a conviction not impossible
jbut they point to all erf the technical loopholes!
|df the law and admit they eipfict the pair to j
through one of these.
H Orte of the biggest handicaps for the govern
|tnent id the case is the fact that two star wit-
Ijttesses are dead. That has been the trouble
pn olher suits instituted by the government 1
i^gainsrf;former officials, esse Smith and John
■Sr. "KitSg are dead and whenever any former
pbfficihl' gets pinned down he just shifts the
£ proof to the backs of the dead men.
J Ants-the manner of the deaths of Smith and
tive of more charges against government offi
cials than any other administration in history.
WHAT HE WANTED WAS THE MONEY.
The Sheriff of Haywood 'county recently
caught a man wanted in Massachusetts for
murder and when an officer of that State ar
rived in Waynesville . with requisition papers
signed by Governor McLean the sheriff refus
ed to turn over the prisoner. He had read
somewhere about a reward of SSOO for the ar
rest of the prisoner and he demanded that sum
before giving the man to anyone.
The Massachusetts officer explained that he
did not have that amount on his person but
would send it when he returned hume. That
didn’t satisfy the sheriff and it took a message
from Governor McLean to straighten him out.,
Which gives the impression that the sheriff
was interested in the reward more than in jus
tice. He didn't say s 6 but by his action he in
timated that should the Massachusetts people i
fail to send the reward he would just turn the
man free, regardless of any crime he might
hav committed.
Governor McLean was right in his position,
of course. The sheriff should have been co-op
erating with Massachusetts officers instead of
trying to enrich his own bank account. lie
was elected to enforce the laws, not to pad
his own pocketbook.
DOES IT PAY TO ADVERTISE? READ
THIS.
Does it pay to advertise?
Let' the Association of Salmon Packers an
swer.
This organization in a recent bulletin re- 1
ported that more than 1,000.000 cases of sab j
men were sold in a national newspaper adver- j
tising campaign this year, as compared to 205,-1
000 cases in a corresponding period last year, j
during which no advertising was used.
For years these saihnon packers were like!
so many other unsuccessful business people-—j
they had something to sell hut didn’t let the j
people know it in the right way.
If you make the best rat-trap in the world;,
people may heat a path to your door in the I i
woods, but if your rat trap is no better than |
your neighbor’s you can’t sit back and wait for j
the multitude—you must let the people know! 1
about your product.
Certainly the experience of the salmon peo-!
pie shhuld satisfy any one as to the advisabil- \
ity and desirability of advertising.

LENOIR-RHYNE COLLEGE.
Hickory Record. .
Hickory has in its midst the only A Grade College in
Western North Carolina. The bigger and better Jyenoir- 1
Rhyne College is the more it will mean to Hickory. All I
over the State canvassere are asking the Lutheran sub- 1
seribers in various congregations to "pay up”: and if : t
is impossible to pay all. to pay some and give a note for i
the balance due* The campaign for pledges was a!
great success, $5110,090 having been pledged, including
$200,000 by D. E. Rhyne which has long since been
paid. Os the other pledges $200,000 is still duo. The
College needs the resources right now. It asks for
.*500,000 productive endowment and a new dormitory
tor girls immediately. The above amount has been prom
ised. If all were paid it will make the endowment and
dormitory possible. It should all be paid or satisfae-1
torily provided for through notes. Hieknry has promis
ed liberally. In this effort to go forward Hickory Citi
zens should lead the way in paying up. Satisfactory re
ports are said to be coming in from many congregations
assuring the college administration that canvassers are
out at work. Let Hickory respond tomorrow when the
canvassers make their visits.
Splendid prospects depend : n large measure upon the
response to this i>u.v up campaign in - Hickory and the
State. No one can expect liberal friends of the college
to heap up contributions when the |U>ople foil to meet
their just obligations.
Right now is. the appointed time! The success and
growing reputation of Lenoir-lifiyne need to be taken
.advantage of. Help Lenivr-Rhyne College go forward!
LEGION DRINKING.

About this business of so much drinking at American
Legion conventions:
Only a very small minority of the boys get drank, but
they raise so aiucfi cain that they give the impression
that they are a big majbrity. However, the Legion as
a whble sulFers for the sink of a few of its mmebWs. The
grat majority of the 1-egion deplores such conduct at its
conventions. As a matter of fact, a great deal of the
trouble is caused By rton delegntes, men who vis'q gath
erings of this sort just for the opportunity it olfers for
a let-down. The same crowd ean be foAnl at all con

Post and Flagg's Cotton Letter.
New York, Sept. 9.—The market
has displayed a rather dragging
tendency reflecting liquidation by
some of t-he recent buyers disappoint
jod over the showing of the report.
More selling on Southern orders wa,s
also reported but in view of the pain
fully small ginning tile disposition
has been to attribute that more to
speculation than to hedging. irade
demand continues in evidence
through more confined to easy spots
since the report than just before. At
the same time advices from goods
markets indicate a volume of busi
ness for both prompt and later de
livery that implies a reasonable de-,
gree of activity among mills especial
ly as stocks on hand have been so
closely absorbed. Just how extensive
j the gaps are in the stocks of distri
butors can hardly be determined but
in view of the hand to mouth policy
followed so jiresistently for several
years past they can hardly fall to be
important and the ultimate eonbum
er has no reserve supplies but must
uis a rule buy as quickly and as often
as what he has in actual use begins
to wear out. The comment frequent
ly heard about the crop is that if the
xveaather this season, which has been
tile direct reverse of last season, re
sults in another large crop it will
indicate that study of weather con
ditions is a waste of time. All that
is needed to determine the crop is ,
the acreage as a dividend and an ap- j
propriate divisor to arrive at the cor-1
rect quotient. This would also enable j
the government to further reduce the
budget by abolishing the department j
of agriculture as a' needless expense. I
The supply may be eked out ill some !
way but it tooks like a short crop, I
large requirements and higher prices.
I*OST AND FLAGG.
Woodshed Justice Still Being Dis
pensed.
Charlotte. Sept. 9. — Wayward
youth of this city are finding out
that old fashioned "woodshed justice"
is stili being dispensed despite wide- I
ly published rejiorts of the growing |
iaxnexs iff parental discipline.
But the welfare officer chastise- I
ment is provided only as a last re- j
sort- Parents are given the oppor- :
tunity first, but if they don’t avail
themselves of the opportunity, recent ■
sentences imposed in juvenile court |
provide for the spanking otherwise.
The latrot ease brought the shingle |
to six young rowdiws who persisted 1
in placing tacks in the path of un-]
wary motorists. Three punetdres in j
a very short time at the same spot I
directed the attention of the police |
to a sextet of grinning white boys
and .me beaming negro.
The six white boys were brought
into court and convicted but. the
negro proved that he whs only an
onlooker and not guilty of placing
the tacks. He was released, but the
white youths were allotted their
whippings. |
Piedmont Farmers Form Fedr-ariqn.
Charlotte, Sept. 9.—The Piedmont
Formers' Federation. Jnc., an organi
zation intended to provide a continu
ous market for farmers' products,
was launched here today following
one of the most representative meet
ings of farmers ever assembled in
Charlotte.
The meeting adopted the plans pro
posed by former Governor Cameron
Morrison, recently and modeled after
| a farmers' organization at Asheville
i that has operated successfully.
The organization will receive a
charter from the Secretary of State
and will have a capitalization of
SiiOjOtlO, leaders say. The body will
also have a bourA of nine directors
elected by the stockholders.
Common stock will be sohl io
farmers, each fanner being allowed
as little as one share of stock at the
value of SSO.
Charlotte Hazers Lectured By
Principal of High School.
Charlotte. Sept. 9. —A brief lecture
by Dr. E. H. Gnringer, principal of
Central high sqhool, followed with
an admonition to conduct themselves
less‘rowdily in the future constituted
the punishment meted out today to
the three youthful haxens of Central
high after their case had been
thrown out of juvenile court- No fur
ther action is contemplated. When
Judge Wade H. Williams, juvenile
judge, notified the parents of the
boys that the ease was entirely out
of bis jurisdiction, a conference re
sumed and the case Was referred to
Dr. Curinger.
As a result, perfect satisfaction k
