CI1SE PROBE IS STARTED LONDON, Sept. '7. In England, as in most countries, it is very diffi cult to get people to work as ljard for government departments as for business houses. That is the conclu ' sion forced upon a special committee " which has been trying to find out what is wrong with' the Civil Service. Before the war the Civil Service employed 283,000 people at a cost of 29,500,000 pounds. Now it employs 825,000 at a cost) of 67,400,000. Civil servants, it is stated, usually start, to work in London at 10 a.W., take three-quarters of an hour for , lunch and knock ofi promptly at 5 o'clock except on Saturdays, when they quit at 1.30. Their hours of work during the we hus average only 34. Their amu days range from three to p'-x s, according to the t led. Tht -ees no reason why the hours ol civil servants should not be the same as those of ordinary clerks in civil employment, nor why they should get more than two or three weeks vacation, as is custom.' ary in business houses. "It is clear," the committee says, "that if the hours of work were in creased to a moderate extent it would be possible to reduce the staffs and so effect a reduction in the cost of ' the service." ' . -. . That is obvious, but no government has succeeded in doing it yet .and meanwhile the staffs of the various government departments are not 'worrying over the prospect of having to work longer Hours ana get snorter holidays. BOYS JUMPING ON AUTOS. In some portions of the town the small boys are getting on the rear of moving automobiles and stealing a ride. This is a dangerous practice and should be stopped. There is 'an ordi nance against this, and the violations should be reported to the police. There is another ordinance against the boys riding on their bicycle and holding onto automobiles while in , motion. These seeming innocent prac tices are dangerous and the parents should warn their children against engaging in them. The Southerner is saying this to keep some boy or girl from being in jured, and it is hoped it will be tak en in this spirit Visited the Norfolk Fair. W. L. Bell went down to Norfolk yesterday to ee the Norfolk Fair. He says the Coastal Plain Faif has got thU fair beat a block in the ar rangement of display! and the ie of displays. Many of the exhibits are housed in tents.

OF AT (Editorial Correspondence) While in Raleigh last Tuesday we visited the head quarters of the Cotton Growers Association. The room now occupied by the As sociation is probably more than 100 feet by 100 feet. This room has no petctions and at a glance the whole office force can be seen easily. There must he at least fifty type writers in use every hour in the day, and just as many operators too. To the rear of the room is the desk of the President, Mr. U. V. Bla lock whom we found to be a most perfect gentleman ' thoroughly alive to the great responsibilities that he has assumed in directing the destin ties of twenty seven thousand cotton in North Carolina. He is a man of large business affairs and has tem porarily given up his private affairs to market through the Cotton As sociation the cotton of the farmers of North Carolina. Up nearer the entrance is the desk of Homer Mask the man who dir ects the field service. He is the one who gets in the contracts and by his field" hflpers keirgsKitir moving out side the Raleigh office. He has ti see that the fanner know where t bring his cotton.--He. is 'charged with direcli.m of the forty or fifty fi men all through the state located a nearly every comity seat in the state. Mr. Mask was chosen for this 'off i.-e for his great, organizing and execu tive ability and to say that he' has brought 1 he association into a first class working machine but poorly ex presses it. the Over across from his desk desk-of John A, l.ivintinie, the pub licity man, and we had not talked so very long wilh Ibis young gentleman before we Were convinced that the Association had made no mistake in securing his services. His lung newspaper experience has qualified him for his work. He knows not only just what, to tell the people, but he knows when and how to tell them. . Mr. ivingtons isa live wide awake man and he seems out from time to time is meeting already with splend ed results. When one realizes that in this office at Raleigh it will become ncc essary to keep accounts witii man?' thousands of cotton .farmers it is 11 t hard to see that the requirement of the officials are enormous and it tak es a tremendous force to mange the business end of the Association. Everything at the Raleigh Head quarters moves with ease and accu racy and everybody as busy as a bee, - - ; - (' ;- - , Book-keepers poring over account's and ledgers, scores of typewriters clicking at a rapid rate, office boys rushing here and there all go to show that, the Farmers Association is about the biggist thing in the city of Raleigh. We would advise our farmer friends to isit these Headquarters whenever they can. Those in charge will always be glad to welcome you and give xou a glad hand. - ' '' "' '' - 1 ' 1 1 ' - .- i REVIVAL AT PINETOPS, Rev. L. L.
