$ Q. S. FOR JOHN SMITH.
The ductile and intrepid Mr.
Bailey, heretofore aided and
1 abetted by the rash and roman-
' I tic Mr. McNeill, ought Dy an
i means to bring forth some so-
Hution of John Smith's problem'
J before the special session, nov,
J formally called, meets in Ra'-j
1 eig-h in December. Otherwise,!
it looks like it is going to be a
; "hard winter" for John.
1 Whether Mr. H. C. Braeraw,
of Hickory, writing on tenant
farmers in general and on po
litical paternalists in particu
lar, or Mr. Joe Tumulty, writ
ing of his chief, has crowded
John out of the spotlight, The
Southerner doesn't know; but
it'dbes believe that the former
collector of internal revenue
and the unchallenged Archi
medean lever of the old Relia
ble ought to do something
about John's case pretty quick.
'Most seriously, this paper is
struck with the thought that
Mr. Bailey is uncommonly dis
turbed about John Smith. It, of
course, doesn't know whether
it is true that John rents and
farms on shares for Mr. Bailey
or for some one else.
Newspaper correspondents,
writing out of Raleigh, place
Mr, Bailey in the next race for
the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination. Mr. Bailey hasn't
denied this that we have seen
and as the Bailey talk grows
the McLean talk subsides. I,
had been understood that ii
Mr. Bailey ran for governor in
1924 he would make the race
principally because there
would rise up no other Moses
to lead the people out of a
wilderness of taxation. Of
course, he would have a plank
or so providing for getting the
tenant farmer into Utopian
fields, but, largely, it was to
get taxation straight that Mr.
Bailey was willing to run.
But, alas! This is all wrong.
So Mr. Bailey himself says in
correcting some report sent out
of Raleigh by "Bishop" Tom
Boat. According to this "note
to the editor" of the Greens
boro News, Mr. Bailey and the
governor are as Damon and
Pyjthias. They do not harmon
ize on small things but, ac
cording to Mr, Bailey, on taxa
tion they are one and the same,
bound to local self government
by a. common tie and we sus
pect the tie is knotted in Wash
ington
How Mr. Bailey and the gov
ernor line up on solving John
Smith's troubles no one pre
tends to know. It would be
stranger than fiction were the
governor to include in his mes
sage to the special session rec
ommendations of a remedy for
ills 1 discovered by Josephus
Papjels' paper, albeit the dis
covery - was inspired by Mr.
Bailey. Poor John ought not
to. be crushed between the up
per and nether stones.

This gentleman could not'

people a higher compliment.
There is no doubt about Tar
boros reputation now, but our
people should not rest upon
their laurels.
Other towns are straining
every ounce of energy to push
ahead and keep ahead. Our
competitors have their eaide
eyes on us, and watching us. In
a business way they will do
everything in an honorable
way to outstrip us. They are
playing the game strong.
Let our people stand in solid
phalanx behind our buyers and

Let us boost and keep on

CHAPTER IX
Agencies of Warfare Cancellation
of War Dets International
Financiers, and Effect to
Shift War Burdens.
By F. HUNTER CREECH
As to the third point of the Presi
dent's agenda: "To formulate pro
posals to control in the interests of
humanity the new agencies of war
far" very little can be hoped for
in that respect. Agreement may be
reached, but it is a hard proposition
to reach the minds or the secrets of
the scientist or the experiment! of
inventive genius. ( Any agreement
that could be reached that could ac
complish any rood would necessarily
have to be based upon the fullest
confidence in each of the principal
nations involved. ' ,
The fourth point: "By common
understanding with respect to Pa
cific and Far Eastern proVems, or
unquestioned , importance, - to arrive
at a Rotation th-ough the conference
that may serve to promote enduring
friendship among: the peoples." This
i laudable, and thing to be de-
fli
KHENG
sired, but it is fraught with all the
dangers, al the problems and vexa
tious questions involved in the sec
ond proposition, before mentioned.
There seems Jo be a growing im
pression that the conference will be
forced to take up the question of the
cancellation of war debts.
International financiers and rep
resentatives of big business interests
wi'l negotiate for the broadening of
the scope of the conference, so that
the world's financial and economic
conditions may be properly surveyed.
The whole proposition will resolve
itse'f in an effort to shift the war
burdens to the back of America.
The debt of the allies to America.
at present, stands as follows ac-

Dear Sir: I want to thank j

which the American Society for the
c,,nlrjl c,f CuIU,t'r was 80 a,lx,ous t0
get before the people.
We have now covered the field
with propaganda which they de
sired o put forth. In conclusion we
feel ihat the pub'ic owes a debt of
gratitude to you fsr tbio service, for
in the last analysis the public will be . nutritijn, firfist aid and life-saving
the beneficiary. ' j classes and health centers, and in
I cannot close these series off arti- numerous other ways designed to ac
cs without making one more re-. quaint masses of citizens with proper
quest, that you spread in every pos- methods of living, the Red Cross car
sible vvay the information that can- ried its message of health into all
cer, the most terrible disease with ' parts rf the country. The American
which mankind if .afflicted, is pre-Red
ventable, and in the beginning also
it is curable, but after firmly estab-
Iished le'iance can be had upon no
human agency to thoroughly eradi
cate it. Much can be done to ward
the aleviation of its distressing
symptoms. Life may be prolonged
for several months or years, but the
thorough eradication of it is im
possible after a certain stage is
reached.
. Again, thanking you both, person
ally and in behalf of the American
Society for the Control of Cancer, at
whose request this propaganda was
undertaken.
Very truly yours,

GREAT RECORD QF
THE RED GROSS
APPEAL FOR CONTINUED AID
WILL BE MADE DURING THE
ANNUAL ROLL CALL, NOV.
11 TO NOVEMBER 24.
On its record of achievement the
American Red Cross during its an
nual roll call, November 11 to No
vember 24, will ask the American
people for continued allegiance and
support during the current year
through renewal of membership.
This record includes relief rushed
'n diseaster, food furnished to fami
districts, actual service of ministra
tion in thousands of homes afflicted
iy sickness, campaign of education
in home hygiene and care of the sick,
nalvage of liffe and property in in
dustrial accidents, and labor for
thousands and thousands of former
service men and members of their
families in their fight to meet the
new problems of every-day life.
' Forty-three disasters resulting in
the death in the United States of
8"l) persons and the injury of 2,500
called for emergency relief measures
and the expenditure of $1,871,000
by the Red Cross during the year.
A ummary of the year's disasters
hows ihey were of varying types, in
cluding several which have never
been regarded as falling within the
disaster classification. Red Cross re
lief was furnished in 17 tires; five
Hoods; seven tornadoes or cyclones;
one devastating storm; three explo
sions, including the one in Wa'l
street; one building accident; two
typhoid epidemics,' the most serious
' being that at Salem, Ohio, which af-
fected 9 per cent of the population;
j one smallpox epidemic, in the re
! public of Haiti; one train wreck; the
I rate riot at Tu'sa, Okla.; the famine
in China, affecting millions of per-
sons; t mergency relief in famine
I among the Indians of Alaska; the
grasshopper plague in North Dakota
and 1,11 earthquake in Italy.
Bv iar tne most severe oi me uis-
I aster in the United States during j
t',e period covered by the annual re-
port, was the rueb'o flood early in
June. The rehabilitation problem
here was the most serious encounter
ed by the Red Cross in recent years, j
The ..orrible havoc wrought by the J
flood waters is a matter of record. I
More ihan 2,300 homes were affected
and 7, '151 persons were left home-j
Ics.t.
In lonnection with ihe adminis- ,
tration of disaster relief 'measures,,
an in.-i:eaing effectiveness on the
part of the Red Cross to deal with .
emer'neics was manifest during t ho
Hnkinir virt-uallv everv countv in the
country with national headquarters
at Washington, the Red Cross has
established a net work of communi
cation ' through ' which instantaneous
relief may be dispatched to any part
of the United States.
I
its
Through its nursing service,
home hygiene and care of the sick,
Cross nursing service, the re-
serve of the army, navy and public 1
health service, today has enrolled
37,787 nurses, an increase of 1,084
over last year.
In the United States last year,
75,432 persons were killed and 3,-
500,000 injured in industrial acci
dents. To prevent this enormous
waste of human life, the Red Cross
organized 5,103 first aid classes with
a total of 104,000 students enrolled.
The lirst aid; classes were organized
in industrial and business concerns,
schools, colleges and universities,
among foreign groups and among
club and civic groups interested in
reducing the nrfmber of fatalities
and serious injuries. One hundred
and sixty Red Cross life-saving corps
with an enrollment of ; 11,000 op
erated during the year.'

most speedy remedy we know.

ditions," says Mr. Sam T. Carr, of this
place. "To be able to do so. I must

Clack-Draught Is my stand-by.
"These trips used to give me head

was good, so now I use It, and it gives
perfect satisfaction. It acts on the
liver, relieves Indigestion, and certain
ly Is splendid. I am never without It."

fort after meals, causing a bloating
sensation, headache, bad breath, and
similar common symptoms, try taking
a pinch of Black-Draught after meals

down with a swallow of water. This
