One hundred and fifty bankers from
seven comities, comprising what is
known as Group Nine of the North Caro
lina Bankers Association, were the guests
at their regular fall meeting here last
llight of the Castoniu Clearing Houso
Association at a banqquet at the Country
Club from six to nine-thirty o'clock.
This group is composed of Burke, Ca

Mecklenburg and Rutherford enmities.

the feature of the evening.
John M. Miller. III. cashier of tin?
Citizens National Hank of Gnstoiiia, was
toastniaster and in that capacity made
the visitors feel Ktrictly at home from
J.it- very start. A. G. Myers, president
of the (Jastonia Clearing House Associa
tion, delivered the address of welcome
and his few but most appropriate words
of cordiality broke the ice and made t li.
bankers understand that they were here
for a good time as well as for business.
secretary Alen T. Howler of the North
Carolina Hankers Association spoke
briefly of the work being done by the

Speaking for the agriculture commit
tee of the State Hankers Association Mr.
M. L. Muuney, of Cherry ville, called on
the bankers of this district to preach,
during this year, a ''live at home" pol
icy. Last year's slogan, he said, was "a
good milch cow on every farm." This
year it Is 'a good cow, good hogs and
good poultry on everv farm." Too much
of our uioiU'.v, he unid, goes to the west
and northwest for the noeessil ies of life.
A1J this money could and should be kept
right here at home. It is a duty of the
banker, he said, to preach this doctrine

issued today by the Census Puroau show- I
ing increases in the number of prisoners i
in state and federal institutions since the

eighteenth amendment and the Volstead t

Information gathered by the asoiia- j

causes arising from the use of intoxi

in the so-called prohibition period of

Convictions under the federal prohi

Negro Shot Man,
Attacked Companion
WACO, TEX., Nov. 22. Twenty
Texas Rangers were sent here today
as a precautionary measure in the
event of an arrest as the result of
the killing of Grady Skipworth, 19,
and an attack on hia young woman
companion. The young woman, who
was not seriousy injured when her
body struck a tree after her assail
ant threw her over a cliff, accused
an unidentified negro.
Feeling was intense here last
night. Skipworth was jobbed first
and then shot, the young woman
said, after which the negro turned
his attentions to her.
No arrest was made here, but it
was reported from Fort Worth that
a negro had been arrested there in
connection with the case.
The local national guard company
was called out by the mayor, but
Governor Neff announced the situa
tion did not warrant use of state
troops, and his order directing the
Rangers to take charge superseded
the mayor's act in placing the
guardsmen on duty.
COAL OPERATORS HAVE

In
WARM AUTUMN CAUSE.
Domestic Consumers Have
Held Off Market And De
mand Is Slim.
ClUCACO, Nov. J. (By the Asm)
ciated 1'iess.) Expectation that some
coal operators would recoup their losses
in the recent coal strike through in
creased prices, a belief given wide pub
licity at the end of the strike when one
or two operators were quoted to tliat
effect, has failed to materialize, aecord-
iug to a survey, of fuel conditions in mid j
die Western stales. '
The wide publicity, combined with an I
unusually warm autumn, discouraged)
buying by domestic; consumers to siieh (in
extent that there ha been a noticeable
drop in prices in many states. This in
particularly noted in those coal produc-
ing areas where ireigJH rates lor short
hauls an
not a major factor in settling
the retail prices.
Typical of the general trend, accord
ing to UoU'it Medill, state fuel adminis
trator of Illinois, are jiiices at the cen
tral Illinois mines. Immediately alter
the strike the operators quoted screen
ings, tlnir lowest grade coal, at from
.'I.-.") to .:i.7." at the pit mouth. Last
week central Illinois .screenings were of
fered as low as fl.iiil and in spite of tho
reduction the mines are unable to book
enough orders to average fifty per cent
production.
similar price reductions are reported
from several states. In Kansas dealers
are selling coal at one to two dollars
under last year's prices. Imtiana, Mis-
i.-outi and other states report lower
prices.

Judson 1j. Vipperman, 1. D had as his J
theme " The Mystery of the New Kirtli. '
He jnefaced his remark with the state

the salvation of Hie world, and that in
tvhiehc. ICrist is rc-incarnateit in tee
heart and life of the regenerate.
"The province of regeneration," said
the speaker, "is to recreate the soul of
man." Continuing, he said that regen
eration was Christ dwelling within the
human soul, a matter of heart and life.
According to the speaker, tin' Spirit of
dod dwelling within the human heart
trt'eomes at once the antagonist of ali
'that is corrupt in human ie.it ions,
t " llegenerat ion does not immortalize
the human body, neither does it iminor

"There are," said Pr. Vipperman,
"three pledges of the resurrection of the

who became the lirsl fruits of them that

which witnesses to the resurrection; and.
third, Christian baptism which shows
forth in symbol the final resurrection.

Parade Atlanta Streets
ATLANTA, GA., Nov. 22.
Masked women, estimated at fully
three hundred, paraded Atlanta's
streets for the first time in the his
tory of the city late last night.
The paraders were said to be
members of the Dixie Woman's Lea
gue, a "patriotic society." They
were arrayed in white costumes,
with flowing sleeves trimmed in red
and blue. The masks completely
covered their faces, and were simi
lar to those formerly worn by the
Ku Klux Klan. They also wore
I -shaped bats with red tassels.
The parade was ed by mounted
policemen and a band. Then fol
lowed the members, grouped in pairs,
each carrying a small American flag.
Just what it was all about At
lantians did not seem to know.
Newsboys dubbed them "Women
Ku Kluxs."

Faries appeared to be one of the
coolest men in the court house when
brought in by three sheriff's depu
ties. He wore a blue shirt, dark
gray coat and light gray trousers.
His black slouch hat was in his
hand. He looked all about the court
room, evidently trying to get a
glance of recognition from kindred
and friends. There was not the
slightest evidence of any form of
demonstration when the prisoner en
