Yesterday was Chappie Marable's last day with the local club and the sensational playing of the little sec ond baseman leaves fond memories with the local fans. Marable left to day, at noon for Greenville, Miss., to sign a contract with that club in the Cotton State League, the offer being too attractive to turn down. Mark Webb was at his best. Altho getting off to a poor start, allowing ,f our hits to chalk up two runs in the 'initial frame, he gave up only one safe hit during the remaining sessions of the game. Greenville used three pitchers in an effort to ibrenk the tide, all o whom met a like fate. Two wild pitch balls and three hits gave the Tarboro club four runs in the sixth. Yesterday' Playing.

PRELIMINARY TRIAL OF THE GUPTON BROTHERS MONDAY . There has been some misunder standing as to the date set for the hearing of the Gupton brothers, who are charged with the murder of Jim O'Neal. This hearing will be held here Monday morning before the re corder, , . COTTON CO-OP SURVEYS Mr. Thos. M. Amnions, who has been assigned to this county by the Cotton Cooperative Association, re ports good progress with the surveys that were ordered to be taken by fhe local association several weeks ago. Mr. Amnions has been on the go every day since his arrival and he is doing some splendid work for the association. At a recent meeting of the Cotton Cooperative Association it was decid ed to have a cotton survey made of the entire county and committees were appointed in each township to make this survey and return them as soon as possible to Mr. Amnion? at Tarboro. Mr. Ammons stated to the Souther ner this morning that he had received reports of these surveys from the following chairmen: John D. Lancas ter,' J. L. Dupree, Marion Corbett. Robt. Knight, W. A. Hearne and W. H. Killebrew. This particular work is going on well and Mr. Ammons expresses much satisfaction at what has been done so ar. In a fow days he will send out cards to all those whose names ap-, pear on these surveys asking these cotton growers to express their pref-j erence as to what markets they' wish td deliver their cotton. When these cards are returned the Southerner will give a list and calculate the num ber of pounds that will probably be brought to Tarboro by preference. Now is a good time for the Tar boro people to put in sme good work for their town in soliciting cotton, for the Tarboro assembling station. Now our people can well see the need of a chamber of commerce or some similar organization to speak for the entire community. TARBORO, N. FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1922 CASTLE OF ROMANCE OFFERED FOR SALE LONDON, July 28. Tantallon Castle in North Berwick, for centu ries the stronghold of the Douglases, is to be sold this summer. In Sir Walter Scott's "Marmion" the battlements of the Tantallon are the meeting place of Clare and her lover. Around its walls many fierce bat tles have been fought. At one time the castle was besieged by king James V, who failed to make a breach in its 12 feet walls and starved out the garrison. Later it was the scene of onslaughts by Cromwell and the Covenanters. Greater Davidon Campaign. CHARLOTTE, July 28. R. M. Miller, Jr., founder and president of thexElizabeth Cotton Mills in Char lotte, which are among the largest in the entire South, has accepted the chairmanship of the "Greater David son Campaign Committee," which plans to raise $GOO,000 for the en dowment and expansion of Davidson College, according to the announce ment today of Malcolm Lockhart, di rector of the campaign. Mr. Miller is among the best known business men and manufacturers in North Carolina, and is an alumnus of Davidson. He was also former presi dent of the American Manufacturers Association, and ex-president of the Davidson Alumni Association.

The campaign is being conducted by the -Executive committee of Christian education of the Presbyterian Church in the Unit ed States, of which Dr. H. H. Sweets j of Louisville, Kk., is chairman. RUSSIAN DOCTOR VOICES DEPTHS OF DESPAIR LONDON, July 28. Pathetic let ters are received here every day from prominent Russians in Moscow and other large Soviet centers depicting the plight of the population under the present regime. Writing to one of the London newspapers Professor Chris tevitch, an eminent physician, says that everyone is anxious to come to Europe or America to see how human beings live. We are living a life of beasts," says the letter, "and we think only of wood and food. We are cut off from all civilized life and sympathiz ing people. You cannot, perhaps, un derstand how heavy life is without intellectual impressions, without book and newspaper and friendly conver sations. "Our hearts are so hardened by suffering and losses that deaths of friends and relations make no more impression upon us than trivial oc currences. Nevertheless we continue to hope to be human beings again. In the old Czarist days my wife and I longed for political freedom. Today my wife's ideal is t have a pair of stockings at 2,000,000 rubles a pair."

SAMSOUN, Asia Minor, July 1. American charity is keeping alive the remnant of the dying Armenian na tion. When all other countries turned a deaf ear to the privations and hor rors of the Armenian population, the American people donated $60,000, 000 and 300,000,000 pounds of food stuffs and relief supplies. Scattered thruout what was once the Armenian state are today more than 300 Amer ican men and women who are work ing valiantly to save the last vestiges of this oldest of Christian races in this far-off continent. The Americans are concentrating their attention on the legions of par- entless children which make Armenia the largest orphanage center the world has ever known. In Transcau casia atone are gathered the child hood of 400,000 Armenian refugees who fled before the Turks from Erze rum, Trebizond, Van and Bitlis. Am erica has become the foster-parent of these Unhappy, shelterless young sters. The Americans have organized 38 hospitals, 59 clinics, and numberless relief stations thruout Asia Minor. In a single month they give medicll treatment to more than one hundred thousand patients. In the Alexandre pol orphanage alone there Are more than three thousand children suffer ing from trachoma. -.-" Charles V. Vickery, head of the American Near East Relief Commit tee, who recently arrived from the United States to supervise the field work of the organization, said re cently in an interview: "We are caring for Armenia's and Greece's great hosts of refugees, or phans and sick In Northern Asia. It la II nlnsnl tnlr morla nnwaihla nnlv' by the liberality of the American I people. But we cannot continue it in-' definitely. We must make the people self-supporting. We are trying to place full responsibility for the care of the refugee population upon the governments concerned., The unfor tunate fact, however, is that the gov ernments are reluctant to accept the obligation. America' heart is the nly one that seems to have been moved by the deplorable plight of these wretched people." SAN FRANCISCO, July 28. Law yers and judges to the number of more than 2090 are expected to come to San Francisco early in August to attend the 1922 convention of the American Bar Association, the Na tional Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and the an nual meeting of the California State Bar Association.

A person al picture of General Ferrg Yuh-siaiig known as the Christian general in the forces of Wu Pei-Fu, is contained in a letter from Bishop F. R. Graves of Shanghai which has been received here by Protestant Episcopal leaders. Bishop Graves is said 'to have known General Feng for a number of years. "Feng has been elevated to the governorship of Honan province," he writes, "and it is characteristic of him that when he attended a big re caption in his honor he rode to the Y. M. C. A. hall on a bicycle with a few unarmed attendants, instead of being surrounded by the customary mounted cavalcade. His first Sunday as governor found General Feng at tending a joint service of all Chris tian denominations in Kaifeng at the Shend Kung Nui, or Episcopal church. Here the Christian general preached a sermon from the text : 'To him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin.' "He appropriated out of his pri vate funds a sum sufficient to care for the beggars who infested the city until employment could be obtained for them, at the same time announc ing that those who wouldn't work for a living must leave Honan." Feng became a convert to Christi anity 11 years ago when, attacked by a disease which native physicians de clared incurable, he was restored to health by the ministrations of a Chris tian missionary. Thousands of his sol dier's have embraced the religious iaith of their leader and victory on the field in frequently followed by a service of thanksgiving of a Chris tian character which is led by Gen eral Feng himself, it is reported. "General Feng is somewhat of a Cromwell in his religious ideas," the bishop said, "but there is no ques tion .it all of his sincerity. He shares hard conditions with his men." E. G.

An nouncement of the impending disso lution of the State orchestra has thrown the New South Wales musi cal .world into consternation. The government has given the musicians three months notice following the an nouncement that the deficit last year amounted to approximately $50,000 and that the annual expense were more than $100,000. The pleas of music-lovers to the government ask ing a reconsideration of the decision to abolish the orchestra have been unavailing so far.

Maulana Hasrat Mohani, who in some quarters at least has succeeded Ma hat ma Gandhi in the active leader ship of Indian nationalists, has had a wide experience in the promotion of Indian movements. Unlike Gandhi, who is a Hindu, Mohani is a Moham medan. He is now president of the United Provinces Provincial Cnogrcwi Committee and was recently elected president of the All-India Moslem League. In 1904, Mohani received the de gree of Bachelor of Arts from Sir Syed Ahmed Khan's Mohammedan College. His first political venture was the "stablishment of a Moham medan newspaper, printed in the Ur du language. This paper, called Urdu a-mualla, did much toward arousing and uniting tne jnonnmiiieuaii ium munity. From this time he began at tending the annual meetings of the Indian National Congress and pub lishing in Urdu reports of the proceedings. In 1308, Mohani was charged with sedition on account of , an editorial which appeared in his paper on the English policy in Egypt. Although this had been written by a student in E'.igarh College, the editor was held responsible for it and was sent enced to t"vo years imprisonment and a fine of 500 rupees. Upon being released from jail, he started his newspaper again, and also opened a store where Indian products of daily use were sold. At first' he was compelled to work under great financial difficulties. Subsequently, his paper was again stopped by the government, and he started another. On several occasions, restraints have been imposed on Mohani by the government, but the last of these were removed last December. He now has a large following among Indian nationalists, in spite of the fact that on some occasions he has opposed, not only Lord Reading's government, but Gandhi as well. By his opposi tion to Purdah (the confinement of i women) he has drawn on his head the opposition of some of the more orthodox Mohammedans. WASHINGTON, July 28. Walter Reed General Hospital here, at which so many wounded veterans of the work! war have been restored to their health, and at which there are still many patients, boasts of the strang est rosters in the Whole army service. It is a list of men, hospital attend ants, who are not only willing, but anxious, to give of their blood to the comrades who can be cured only by having injected in their veins the healthy red blood of a strong man. There is a long list of these men, usually not less than 50, who have signified their willingness to wive a pint or more of their rich blood to strengthen weakening soldier patients and hardly a day passes, doctors say, but what there is a call for a transfusion. When the physicians decide tin ail ing patient is in need of new blood, a specimen of his is tested to determine whiih of the four classes of human blood he possesses. The test is then compared with those of the listed men, who have been previously exam ined, to find one that "matches" the patient's. There are usually a number of each type on the listand the tran fusion is quickly accomplished. The men who volunteer for the charity are chosen among the clerks, ambulance drivers, special police and others on active duty at the hospital. Of the five hundred men there, it is said, more than half have given up blood. Although elsewhere there is always a high premium paid to the donor of blood for transfusion, these men ask for no payment, their only reward is a ten days' leave to recuperate, for the operation, especially if more than a pint is given, is very weakening on the system. For that reason only the strongest and healthiest men nre picked. No man is permitted to give his blood twice within two months, but as often as there are calls for the ervice, there are always plenty of volunteers to keep the list full. DUBLIN, July 28. ATI of the big towns in the Connemara district are now being cleared of the insurgent troons. rapid progress being made by the national forces In the west and Munster Province, tay an official re port today, .wjxaxa . i i NORTH CAROLINA FARMERS CONVENTION With appticatKr.s for accommoda tions already considerably ahead of any previous year, indications point to a large attendance at the 20th annual session of the North Carolina Farmers' and Farm Women's Con- ventionwhen it convenes at Stat College Tuesday, August 1, for a three day meeting, continuing thru Thursday, August 3. "It is probable," Bays W. W. Shay: the secretary, "that all of the college dormitories will be filled. Family par ties and ladies are being assigned first to the recently completed Fifth and Sixth dormitories, the 1911 Dor mitory and Watauga Hall, with the four smaller dormitories reserved for gentlemen. South Dormitory, now un dergoing repairs, will hardly be ready for use in time for the convention." "The College makes no charge for the use of the dormitories, but those who room on the campna-will be ex ported to furnish their vwtt bed linen and towels. Meals will be served in the college dining hall at fifty cents each. With the reduced railroad fares offered and the college easily acces sible by automobile from many sec tions of the state an opportunity is offered for ehe farmer to take bis family on an outjng that is entertain ing, instructive and economical." E. U. Moss, director of the Tobac co Growers' Cooperative Association for the eighth district of North Car olina, comprising Granville and Per son counties, has been appointed to the executive committee of the board of directors to fill the place made va cant by the death of the late John H. Gailaway, ' according to today's an nouncement from Raleigh headquar ters. Mr, Moss is director of the ttate experiment station at Oxford, and' is a large tobacco farmer. Members of the association express satisfaction in the continued appoint ment of experienced farmers and to bacco glowers to positions of high re sponsibility upon the board of direc tors. Of the 25 directors of the To bacco Growers Association, 22 are tobacco farmers, representing their fellow growers from 22 districts of 9( tobacco counties in three states. Vice President Joseph M. Hurt of the association, himself elarge to bacco farmer of Southside, Va., in ferring to the policy of the associa tion, in an interview given out at the headquarters today, said: "The suc cessful continuance of large scale co operation with human and financial elements combined, requires more skillful "management than a big cor poration which is chiefly financial. In the corporation you lose sight of the human side, for you are dealing with coin and not with personality; in suc-ie-ful cooperation, we must take the man as well as the product irto the cooperative, and here the human element cannot be lost." Comparing the growth of the co operatives to the natural evolution of hip corporations, Mr Hurt, who cs .ex-president of the Virginia Bankers Association speaks with authority, prophesied that an effective combina tion of human and business organiza tion :n successful cooperatives will be the great development of the fu ture to make life in the country worth living. E. G. Battle, one hundred percent coorciativo farmer, who has signed cooperative marketing contracts for peanuts and cotton, today sent in his contract for 45 acres of tobacco. Mr. Battle, who is one of the largest and most prominent farmers in Edge combe county, feels satisfied that he can add 45 acres more to the tobacco of the association in the form of con tracts from his tenants. The Farmers Mutual Warehouse at Rocky Mount will witness the open ing meeting of the final campaign in Eastern-North Carolina next Satur day noon, when tobacco growers of Nash, Edgecombe and other Eastern Carolina counties will gather to hear Oliver J. Sands, general manager of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative As sociation. MANILA, P. I., June 15. An al most ideal planting season and co operation of planters with the agri-1' cultural divisien of the Sugar Cen tral Agency have combined to make the prospects for sugar in the Island of Negros next year the best ever recorded in fie islands, according to H. Atherton Lee, director of sugar cane investigations for the bureau of science, who has ju-.t returned from N'egros. "Our problem in the Philippine!," said Mr. Lee, "is to get sugar yields per acre up near the standard in oth- . er countries, Hawaii for example, which averages around five tons to tl e acre for a two year crop. Our average jn the Philippines is about ore-sixth of that for a twelve ta fourteen months cror. It will be seen that this is very unfavorable for the Philippines and, of courje there is no insurmountable reason for this, as our soil is as good or posribly better thr.n that of Hawj'u and our water supply and climate are morti favor able, : ''Use of fertilizer this year, on the croT now grow'ng, is doing a reat deal toward better yields of sugar in' NeiToe. Estimates have been made that the crop to be milled in 1922 1928 will be fifty percent above the . ctop just milled in certain dirtricta."
