Moving Foiwrard to Prosperity
Despite Many Obstacles In Way
Those Bars In Path To Prosperity Are Low Prices For Farm
Produce, Labor Strikes, Soldier . Bonus, New Tariff Act,
And Foreign Situation With Respect To Reparations,
' Loans, Etc. Morgan's Associate Consoles Farmers For Low
..Prices. ' .:.-'
NKW YORK, Oct. 3. A picture of
America, recovering from the "rude
buffets and deep wounds'' of 1917 to
1921, aud "with characteristic, cpurse,
binding up her bruises and slowly mov
ing forward to new goals" was drawu
today by Thomas W. Lamont, associate
of J. 1'. Morgan, in an address before
10,000 delegates of tho American Bank
ers' Association convention here.
"We have not yet cause for un
bounded confidence," he cautioned the
bankers. We must not forget that, be-
fore the race is won, we still have some
liir)t' lnir.ll.ia ir iiittin
These bars in the path to full pros
perity, lie enumerated us follows;
1, Low prices- prevailing for farm
products; 2, labor strikes; 3, the sol
diers' bonus; 4, the new tariff net; and
3, tho f6reign situation, with respect to
reparations, allied loans and interna
tional trade.
. Discussing reparations and the inter
allied debt, Mr. Lament raised two ques
tions: "Do our former allies really owe
tis all the debt!" and "Arc we doing
our full share to solve 'the tragic ques
tions that -ore weighing npon the world! "
"One thing is certain," lie declared.
"If sme one, ou April 4, 1917, had been
able to give us our choice as to whether
we should rather give up freely and for
all time five billion dollars, or give nji
the lives of several hundred thousand of
our sons, there would huve been no hesi
tation as to our choice.
."Fate,, however, determined that
choice; it determined that Great Britain
and France should give up the lives dur
ing that first year and that we should
furnish, not our blood, but our money;
taking, however, in place of it the prom
ises to, imy fil our, allies. , v.

With entries . already definitely made
The woman 'n building is already cer-
i turn to be crowded with exhibits from

splendid educational booths of real
merit. Other women's clubs in the
county are also planning some splenUid
booths. The Crossmore 'school will have
an exhibit in this building. The fancy
work and general sewing, iu charge of
Mrs. W. i Michael, will as usual be A
large and verv attractive ' department!
The better babies contest w ill number
scores of babies. Michael & Bivens are
to erect a liuge radio receiving station
in the rest room iu this building and
those thronging it - will eujy the treat
of music and other feuturcs wafted
through the ether.
'That field crops building is some
problem," -remarked the fair secretary
this morning. Various and sundry re-
modeling will have to be done to get
everything in attractive' shape. It will
la a revelation of the community effort
and the agricultural resources of Gaston
and surrounding counties. . 1
The soy beau and cotton exhibits will
havo to be transferred to the first aisle
from the second. The entire west side
of the lengthy building will be taken up
with community fair and community
iKioths. The corn show will occupy many
hundreds of feet. The small grain ex
hibit, practically already in hand ready
'or entrv. will completely fill a good-
'. sized section, thus taking up the western
I aisle completely.
( Commercial exhibits will have to be
'almost completely burred from their old
j place on the first or eastern aisle. The
'arcal legume show, featuring the soil

'especially great educational feature of
j this fair, will occupy a lengthy section

that the waj- ig behind us and we can
take a long look back, is it wise for us,
is it just, is it generous to make some
composition of this' matter "
Mr. Lauiout sought to, console the
farmers who, he said, complain that
"though' this is a big season for crops,
our net money will be small. "
"I shan't attempt to argue the point
of lower prices," continued the finan
cier. "But I never knew a country to
go broke because of its abundant crops.
6o, even though our farmers suffer dis
I appointment, 1 think the low price hur-
die the easiest one to iump. The farm
crs hud higuprices in 1919 and 1920, but
the aftermath, was a serious one for
them. ' In the long run they,' like all of
fas, will fare better on u moderate price
scale, with small fluctuations."
Labor strikes rise as one of the most
serious obstructions to prosperity, Mr.
Lamont' declared, "even though the
worst may now seem to be over." He
asked his audieuce to "remember that
in this, country there are still traces of
arrogance among employers, as there are
manifest signs of urrogunce in labor. ".
President Harding's veto of the bonus
bill "with its threat t tax billions more
out of the American ieoplc and distrib
ute it in such U way that probably no
one would receive real benefit,'' tempo
rarily leaped that hurdle and "created
such a feeling of relief," said Mr. La
mont.. , 1 ,
Of the tariff he ssiid: "W'e shall be
fortunate indeed if we do' not find that
in practice it protects a tot of industries
that do not require protection, and cuts
off from our farmers and manufacturers
a lot of foreign markets that are ready
to buy our commodities.. : .

PROHIBITION IS HERE
TO STAY SAYS FEDERAL
JUDGE E. YATES WEBB
Opening Of Federal Court
In Charlotte Gives Judge
Webb Chance To Express
Himself On Liquor Ques
tion. CHARLOTTE, Oct. 3. In oiieninir a
week's term of federal court here, for
the western district of North Carolina,
Judge E. Y. Webb took occasion to
speak emphatically ou the prohibition
question. Judge Webb, while yet a mem-
oer of the houso of representatives, him
self took nn active part iu tho prohibi
tion , acts of the Congress, beinir co-
. uuiuui u, iiiu ruu-x'vciij'uii net, among
the first national prohibition laws put
fintli..M ..tf .1... ' I. I .
into eneet. ; ,
The court became more than usually
interested when, in charging the grand
jurors for the approuehing term, ho came
to the 18th amendment. The court ex
plained the laws as apssed by Congress,
showing why they were necessary and
plained the Inw-o as passed by Congress,
should pass laws that were of greatest
good for the nation, against the indi
vidual, npiarently, at times. He went
through the recital of those laws most
frequently violated and when he enmo'to
the 18th amendment, took occasion to go
into the matter u little further than hp
did on the others; nuch as robbery of
the mails, counterfeiting, etc. ?
Proiiibitiou, the eourt declared, is pro
hibiting and ho laughed at those who
said otherwise. The records of th
courts of tc country show, lw declared,
that prohibition is working.
"The United States has never lost, a
war," said the court, -"sad-the United
States has declared war on whiskey. "
He went on to show how ou land and
on tho tiea-shore the government Is ac
tively engaged in fighting the whiskey
traffic. He also declared that tho state
of North Carolina is also doing its duty
along this line and said that it, in con
nection with the government, would
otNlfin wtiolrA.. mi. ........ ' .
Judge Webb was particularly empliutic
in expressing his contempt for tho man
who believes in prohibition for the
poorer people, it may be the labor of
the man iu question, while himself has
his whiskey in "his palace" and there
goes to drink, believing, bo long as he
keeps it away from Ins help, and thereby
makes them more efficient so that' his
dividends will be larger. .
"No," said the court, "the law must
be enforced alike towards all, rich and
poor, prominent and obscure."
The courts ought, to take cognizance
of each case as it comes up, ho said, re
membering that for more than 100 years
the fathers of the present generation
Save made whiskey nn.f have drunk it
whenever it suited them. Ho showed
that the American 'people sprang from a
stock that drinks whiskey ami believes
it is all right, and declared the belief
thnt the American people , inherited a
taste for it. 4
The court went buck in history for a
few years and showed that there , was
first a sentiment for prohibition in
North Carolina and then the passage of
laws and he declared that no state in
the union is making the progress that
this state is . making aud he further
pointed out that the progress and up
building of North Carolftii dated almost
from the time that the people voted the
stafe dry.
Prohibition, he declared, has meant
more to North Carolina thau almost any
other one thing.
The court spoke of the Sorrow that
has ben caused by whiskey, and. Stutod
that this was one of the reasons why the
people had arisen and decided that they
would banish it forever from their midst.
I am no fanatic," saul the court,
"but
I Ixdievc, and the facts warrant
me in believing, that fully JH) per cent
of the crime in this country, fully W
jkTt cent of the suicides and almost all
tho heartaches and misery in this natiou
have been traceable to whiskey.
"It is the iicople who believe these
things who have arisen and have thrown
it , off. They hold that whiskey is the
greatest enemy of the American republic
ami it is these jH'ople "who want to see
prohibition enforced." w .
Judge Webb stated that thoe people
who believe that whiskey will come back
again to this country, are hugging u
vain delusion. It is gone, and gone for
ever, the court said.
A ir rent tli ron tr heard Juilio Webb's
charge to the grand jury and his talk
was listened to intently.
John 8. Hunt, of Cleveland cuiity, the
home county of the court, was made
foreman, of the grand jury. "
Court, which convened at 10:30
o 'clock,' spent the reniainiler of the morn
ing and the afternoon session in getting
ready for the heavy docket which faces
it this week.

Giants And Yankees Are Tuned
To Final Pitch For The Crucial
Series Beginning Wednesday
Even Bable Ruth Could Not Get A Ticket Delegations From
All Over, United States Are In New York 500 Newspaper
Men On Hand Both Teams Are Confident Of Victory, ;
NEW YORK, Oct. .1. (By Tho
Associated Press.) The New York
Giants and Yankees, standard bearers of
the National and American Leagues,
were' tuned to eoiievrt pilo'a today in
final workouts in preparation for the
opening tomorrow-' of their second suc
cessive . struggle for premier baseball
honors. The Giants were .victors last
year in a tensely f ought v. orl I 'a series
that lasted eight games. The laurel
this year will go to the team winning
four out of seven.
With a shorter series, attendance rec
ords were not expected to exceed last
year's high mark 269,977 paid ad
missions for eight games, but indica
tions ---pointed, to ..capacity demands.
Club officials today announced a sell
out in reserved seats for tiuv, first ix
games, with thousands of unfilled ap
plications. . This is exclusive however.
og 2,000 unreserved seats in the
bleachers and upper tier of tho grand
stand, which will go- ou sale each at
10 a. in.
Even Ruth was unable to satisfy a
list - minute desire for tickets. The
Yankee aluinrer appeared at the Giants'
offices in his quest.
"Sorry, Babe, biif " there isu't even
a 'hope left,' he was told. Ue was
but one of many.
Advance guards of delegations from
all parts of the United States, Canada
and outlying points were oil baud early
today. The' influx was expected . to
reach its height tonight.
Close to. SOU newspajer men from all
parts of the country were ou hand to
supply millions of newspaper readers
with first hand accounts of the series.
Two hundred additional press applica
tions could not be granted because of i
the limited facilities.
Promise of fair weather, with ideal
temperatures, not only for the opening
game, but probably for the rest of the
week, checkmated any untoward moves
by rain.
But above and beyond the cold and
material facts, the scramble for tickets
and the preparations of the faithful
who will start thot bleacherites vigil
tonight in the lee of Coogau's Bluff,
fans in tho highways and byways were
absorbed in the battle of "ifs" and
"auds the pro aud -con, that wages
back and-forth over tho merits of the
eoI,tcuders.
i Tllos, wlu) a.SSlrrtd vehemently that
; the predominating pitching strength of
J the Yanks would be the decisive factor

jwhi U-11 t the hard hitting,
r uJ aggressive attack

clearing the way for a subsequent peace
coiuerencu, invitation io wmcn u la con
fidently expected the Turks will accept.
The optimistic view of the situation,
taken in Paris is not entirely ahared
here, but hope seems to predominate.
In anti-Greek quarters the activities
of former Premier Venizelos in Paris
and London continue to be viewed with
the greatest suspicion. The Daily Presa
says tluit Venizelos has advised the revo.
lutionary group in Athens to agree n
principle to the evacuation of eastern
Thrace, but to tell tho allies that Greece
will not evacuate the territory until the
powers have decided to do so aa the final
peace terms. ''',
The newspaper says the effect of this
plan, if adopted, would to that the
Greek army would remain in Thrace for
many weeks longer, and that tho condi
tions arising from this inevitably would
bring war between the British and
Turks. It calls upon the British govern
ment and public to put a stop to the dan
gerous intrigue. The report that tint
Washington administration had pro
posed to intervene in the near eastern '
situation is given conspicuous publicity
ami attracts general attention. None cf
the papers comment editorially upon it,
but any development from the American
side is followed here with, the keenest
interest and. there is a large section cf
opinion which would henrtily wclcotw
any action by the L'nited States which
might help unravel the tangle. .
Strong doubts are expressed in official
