MINING CONGRESS SEEKS INDUSTRIAL COOPERATION CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 26. Industrial cooperation between cap ital and labor in the mining industry will be the chief topic of discussion at the American Mining Congress, when it convenes here Oct. 9. J. V. Calbreath, secretary of the congress, when he arrived here to make nreliminary l. . ..i. 'ements for the 25th annual session, said mutual recognition of the rights, responsibil ities and relations of employer and employe will be sought. "Two problems confront the min ing industry today," he said. "One is the reduction of the cost of pro duction and the other is the necessi ty of reaching some stable policy t eliminate strikes between labor and capital. There must be some solution by which both labor and capital will profit thru increased production." bible Movement for papers progressing CINCINNATI, Sept. 26 The plan of the Back to the Bible bureau of this city is furnishing newspapers of the country with selections from the Bible .is reading matter has met with such success that the bureau has pre pared the "Sermon on the Mount," which will be distributed in seven teen, sections. , ; THE COASTAL PLAIN FAIR. Years ago there was a saying meant to be funny about the county fair that had long since ceased to exist. As we remember the tale it went something like this: "Tarboro had a fair that consisted of a cow and a pumpkin and when the cow ate the pumpkin it 'busted' up the fair." We do not vouch for the authenticity of this old adagef but the fair was "busted up" all right enough from some cause or other. What led to the1 writing of this article was a conver sation that took place between two people who have been enthusiastic contributors to the Coastal Plain Fair. The question was asked: "Are you going to exhibit any fancy work this year?" The reply was: "No; I am afraid to do so as so many things have been stolen at the previous fairs and as there is no redress, articles being entered at the owner's risk, I am afraid to chance it." The consensus of opinion seemed to be that these thefts were done by some of the fakirs who have had concessionsand who have had free access tc the grounds at night when there were not enough watchmen on the grounds to protect the entries. This should not be possible. If the grounds are to be open to the carni val crowds at night there should be enough guards to prevent this whole sale stealing. In one instance an ex quisitely embroidered baby dress was stolen and the owner naturally would hesitate to risk another valuable piece of work. It is not always a cow and a pumpkin that causes a fair to cease to exist but carelessness in the protection of property that very aoon causes people to lose interest. This can and should be made "impos sible.' -.'..';-. "Entered at the owner's risk" should apply to loss by fire or possi ble damage by water, but never to lost by thieves, If proper protection is giro it could not happen.

Response in church offerings in Korea would put American congregations to shame, say missionaries in that country rep resenting the board of Sunday school of the Methodist Episcopal church. The men rarely earn more than ten cents a day yet they give one tenth of that to the church. One man had no money so he drove his oxen to the church and gave that. Another man sold his farm and gave the mon ey. Many women and girls put all of their silver hairpins and rings on the collection plate. RALEIGH, Sept. 26. Opening of a $100,000 endowment and building campaign for Saint Mary's School, Raleig'i, was announced today by Col. Albert L. Cox, national chair man of the campaign committee. The initial meeting of the cam paign will take place Monday when twelve divisional chairmen for North and South Carolina will gather in Raleigh to formulate campaign plan. Ladies who will be present at the meeting as divisional chairmen or members of the executive committee are: Mrs. Joseph J. Bernard, Ral eigh; Mrs. Theodore Davidson, Ashe ville; Mrs. A. S. Mory, Charlotte; Mrs. Hiram Bell, Greensboro; Mrs. Linn Bernhardt, Salisbury; Miss Re- ba Bridges, Tarboro; Mrs. Lawrence Sprpnt, Wilmington; Miss Katherine Draine, Edentoc; Miss Minnie Leary, New Bern; and, from South Carolina Mrs. James A. Cathcart, Columbia; Mrs. ' W. E. Lindsay, Spartanburg, and Mrs. D. U. McEachern, Florence. "Saint Mary's School, the largest Episcopal church school in the United States, has reached the point in its development where it must have ad ditional financial resources," Colonel Cox said today. "Its chief needs are a largsr endowment, a senior-junior hall to house the girls of the two classes taking college work, a science hall, and a more adquate infirmary. The present campaign will provide $40,000 for endowment and $60,000 to go toward permanent improvement to include the above-mentioned need. "The campaign will be carried on by twelve divisional chairmen nine in North Carolina and three in South Carolina working under national chairman." ST TUTIONAL Strong Board of 1 White" Citizenn Sup port Religious Training Institution Tarboro is practically assured a colored institutional church training school. In addition to being a place of worship and Sunday school in struction, this institution will give instruction in the various vocations of the colored people. This is another Booker T. Wash ington project, only it has a stronger religious element in it. The Rev. T. W. Thurston, who is the originator and -pron.ptor of this enterprise, has the horse before the cart where it belongs. As the spirit-life is worth more than physical existence, and the soul is worth more than the body so this institution will put. the em phasis where it. belongs. If there is anything that can and will solve the race problem and our industrial problems, it is the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore the Southerner highly endorses this great and worthy un dertaking along with the strong board of prominent white citizens, who are backing it. This institution will have a good central location for all the colored people. To whom it may concern: We the white members of the ad visory board, of the John C. Dancy Memorial Institutional Church which is to be erected in Tarboro, N. C, do heartily commend (his wise and wor thy enterprise to the people of the town and county, and the public in general as an institution deserving air the moral and financial support our people are able to give. It is not merely a church of worship with up-to-date Sunday school equipment but will teach the relation of moral ity and religion to all the vocations and recreation of life. For instance, it will teach classes in child nursing and laundrying, not from a monetary point of view, but from a moral and religious point of view of being able to render worthwhile service. It will also supervise social anil recreational activities under religious leadership and in wholesome atmosphere. It is well known that there are two colored people in the county to every white person, and it also well known that the moral ami religious life of the colored people have been sadly neglected, and that few strong religious leaders have been develop ed among them. This institutional church will have for its main purpose the developing strong Christian char acter and religious leadership. Our moral and religious life is greatly af fected by theirs and it is part of our task. Therefore we not only do not hesitate to commend this enterprise to our people, but heartily recom mend it to them for their serious consideration and whole-hearted sup port. (Signed) : C. A. Johnson, M. G. Mann, S. S. Nash, 3. Mabry Hart. Rev. Daniel Iverson, new pastor of Howard Memorial church, who with his wife and children haw tal.ee up residence among us, by his pleasing personality and gracious manner Mas won the approval of all with whom he has come in contact. Mr. Ierson's first sermon, the subject of which was "Normalcy," was masterpiece as was one preached late- on, '"As surance," . which was highly'' cr.m mended by his hearers. Sunday morn ing the subject, "Evolution," was handled in a masterful way, show ing careful study and a perfect un derstanding of his subject. Pos.?cs ing a keen sense of humor in con nection with a pleasing delivery, his congregation feel that in secaf.ng this good man for a shepherd for their flock, the church has made an instantaneous "bit" with the Presby terian! of Tirboro. jr CHURCH OF DIED EARLY TODAY ACOTE ASTRMA WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. Senator Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, died suddenly at his home here shortly after three o'clock this morning. Death was said to be due to an acute attack of asthma from which he suffered recurrently a number of years.

He was stricken suddenly last night. Senator Watson was 66 years old. A FOREST BURIED UNDER THE CITY WASHINGTON Evidence of the existence of an ancient swamp in which great trees flourished in days of long past, possibly contemporaneous with earl iest man in America, has just been discovered in a deep excavation made for the foundation of a hotel under construction in Washington, I).

At a depth of about 2" feet below the street level the evcavatioii dis closed of black swamp muck, con taining large quanities of wood, tree trunks, and stumps, Some of these stumps are of large size, a few of them reaching a diamerter of !) or 10 feet. Much of the wood is well pre served, showing clearly the woody structure and the external markings of the bark. A preliminary examina tion indicates that owe of the more common trees of this ancient swamp was cypress. The -tory of these trees, however.) is only a oriel chapter of trie whole geologic history shown in the ex-1 cavatioti which has just been examon-j ed by Chester K. Wentworth for the United States Geological Survey.'

I. NEW TUBE TO AUGMENT RADIO BROADCASTING CHICAGO, Sept. 26. The world's largest vacuum tube, standing three feet in height and three and one half inches in diameter at the bot tom, has been completed in the lab oratories of the Western Electric Company, officials announced. The tube is capable of supplying 100,000 watts, 200 times the power required for the usual radio broad casting stations of '100-mile range. The difficulty in experiments was to make the whole tube airtight and to get the wires for the filament nnd grid into the tube while keeping it insulated against about 200,000 volt.
