The next day is Thanksgiving day and a national holiday. Thus by the granting or only one holiday the boards will en able the teachers to attend the full session of the assembly, leaving Raleigh after the last meeting Sat urday morning and arriving Dome before Sunday. The circular letter- continues: "That not only the teachers but the schools In which tbey work will receive direct benefit from, the at tendance of teachers on these ses sions must be evident to any one who. considers the character or tne program that has been prepared. It will be one that will appeal to all classes and grades of teachers. Many of the most prominent teacn ers In" North Carolina, both public and private, will take part in tne discussions, r Besides ' these whose names are familiar to all of as. the assembly has secured the services or several men and women of national reputation.

FronebergeT Seriously In jured Death of an Infant Methodist Bible Classes Arrange Banquet. York News. Clover, Nov. 12. Arrangements are being made by the organized WesleyeBible Classes, of the Metho dist Episcopal Church, South, tor a class banquet on the evening of Xov 15, at 7:30. This is to be the first of what is hoped to prove an annual affair and is expected to play a large part in the social life of tnese classes. The arrangements for the occasion are In charge of a commit tee consisting of Rev. H. G. Hardin, James A. Barrett. Thos. J. B. Wil liams. N. W. Holland. Z. T. Enloe, F. E. Whitener, D. L. Stanton and Sanford Rftch. In addition to the members of the three classes the teachers of the school will be invit ed. An Interesting program has been arranged and a pleasant time is ex pected. Rev. W. P. Grier has returned from Statesville, N. C, where he at tended the meeting of the A. R. P. Synod. - ' ' " Dr. E. W. Pressley has been . In Columbia for a few days on business. The Infant child of Mr. J. H. Burchfield died at his home la the mill village Sunday night of diph theria. The funeral services were held at the home Monday, Rev. H. Grady Hardin officiating. News was received here this ar ternoon that "Mr. C. W.' Froneberger is lying at the point of death as a result of being caught In a belt or a woodsawlng machine about 10:30 today. He was thrown against the pulley and fearfully bruised about the head, neck and breast and has one leg broken. . Dr. Hood was sum moned and did what he' could lor the relief of tb unfortunate - man. but holds no hope. for. bis recovery. Mr. Froneberger 4s a young mm anc lives about six miles west of here.. ' Lows in Cotton Marketing. . ' We may. summarize our conclus ions by saying: ' - '-.- , (1). No cotton shoald be . al lowed to lie out In the weather. Ton will be sacrificing $10 in grade', for, every $1 you imagine you willgaia in weight. " '-.v:-' :v (2). The present system oft in dividual selling of cotton must go "everybody for himself and the. dev il take the hindmost."' There are too many of the 'hindmost" who catch the gentleman afore-mentioned ; and there are too many unnec essary middlemen to support. Cot ton farmers must organize to sell co-operatively on special days and in large quantities. ' . (3) . They should have their cot ton graded by in expert and impar tial grader. . . (4) . They should see to it that they get the benefit .of higher prices for grades above middling as. well: as the losses for grades below mid-j dling. . . t ( 5 ) . Especially in long-staple ' cotton is - careful grading of the highest Importance. ; (6) . Farmers should get reports of what all available market towns are paying and find out whether in. any of them prices are bing heia down by a buyers' "trust." acting without competition. In such cases they should appeal to the .business men and commercial bodies of tne town for help. They will realize that such methods will cause farm ers to boycott the town and hurt trade. (7) . Farmers and tenants should be encouraged to have their bills fall due in two or three payments instead of having to settle every thing around November first. i (8) . These and other plans should be discussed In your Farm ers' Union or other farmers' organ izations; and if the farmers are not organized in your community, this will be a good subject to organize them on. Farmers fighting single handed can never bring about Uie reforms needed for their relief. -The Progressive Farmer. Encouraging Instead of Discourag ing Improvements. Clarence Poe, In The Progressive Farmer. In the writer's opinion, the two great needs in the matter of taxa tion are (1) a system which will nuourage home-owning by penaliz ing land speculation instead or pen alizing the buyer of a home; .re ducing the rate on small tracts ana increasmg it on unused land and very large holdings; and a system which will levy a lower rate on im provement!, due to a man's industry, tnriit and foresight (such as in creased soil fertility, good barns, ditches. ta?n ted houses, added beau ty and charm) than on the original site value( of the land. A6 Dr. T. N. Carver, formerly Harvard Profes sor of Economics and now head of the National Rural Organization has so well said: "A fysiem of taxation which tax es fvery 6uch positive accumulation cf capital,, instead of land and nat ural advantages, has this effect. If for examine, the law should be such that of two farmers living side by side, rwning farms equally fertile and eyjal!r well located, the more thrifty anC progressive is made to pay ttc higher taxes, the tendency , will he o discourage thrifty ad rroprPE8ivness. One, for" example, vegetates, never improves his rarm or adds to its value by draining, fencing, erecting buildings, stocking it with superior equipment, etc.; while the other plans ahead, im proves his farm, drains It, fences it, erects good buildings, stocks it with superior breeds of livestock, equips it with superior tools, until it be comes, as the result of h's own la bor nnd forethought, worth twice as mvfh as the other. If he is th-en made to pay twice s much in tares as the other man, who started witn as good land as he did. the Govern ment Is not doing very much to en-courc-o labor and forethought, to say the least." Per Capita Fire Loss. The per capita Are loss In the United States for 1912 was $2.55, which Is many times higher than It was in the principal European coun tries. The per capita loss In Eng land was 54 cents. In France 84, ana in Germany 20. So our loss was more than 10 itlmes as great per cap ita as in Germany and about five times as great as in England. These figures suggest at a glance the rea son our fire insurance premiums are higher than Europe's. Premiums ere based upon losses, and they are tot likely to be much lower until we have fewer fires and less destructive ones. The chief reasons for the lower fire losses in Europe are the move durable construction of build ings and the greater carefulness or. the people. Having less wealth, they can less afford to suffer loss byEre. They take better care of what they have than we do. Travelers abroad have often com mented on the slowness and lack of modern equipment of the fire depart ments of Europe, so It is not true that their fire losses are smaller be cause they know more about fighting fires. They have less need than we have of very capable fire depart ments. ATTRCTIVE HAIR Always Fascinates Parisian Sage Makes Hair That Is DulI,Fadd . or Thin, Abundant and Gloriously Radiant.

Adv. 14-11 the pka;gree WILL STAN3 BJTtTN CLE SAM The Great rowers Will Give Presl 'i dent Wilson United Support in Ilia Attitude Toward Mexican Affairs ' Huerta Cannot Resist Pressure Much Longer Dictator Reported " to Have Fled. ''M U', , - The Associated Press rdlspatcn from Washington appearing in this morning's, papers says:-' 'V United support from the great Powers abroad for the American pol icy toward Mexico, shown in a varie ty of quiet diplomatic activities, gave President Wilson and Secretary Bry an a confident feeling today that the elimination of General Huerta as Provisional President of Mexico soon would be an accomplished fact. That the financial blockade insti tuted by the United States had ef fectively tied the purse strings of Europe, that diplomatic pressure was being exerted incessantly on all sides at Mexico City, that close friends v of Huerta were applying their Influence, and persistent re ports saying Huerta had gone Into mysterious seclusion, raised the hopes of the Washington Govern ment that at last It was making def inite progress toward solving, the Mexican problem. ' An exchange of cablegrams with Ambassador Page, an agreement by Great Britain to leave tha solution of the Mexican problem In the hanas of the United States and an announce ment that no moral or financial support would be granted by Eng land to the Huerta regime, set forth in London press dispatches, created a favorable" impression throughout official Washington. It was felt that Great Britain, France, Germany and other Nations now stood together in agreeing to the nlan of tha Unttee States for the elimination of Huer ta. President Wilson had prepareo. early In the day a statement of tne situation reciting what had been at tempted In the communications pre sented by Charge O'Phaushnessy and John l.lnd but within a few nours such favorable advices were receiv ed as to cause the Prepldent to with hold the documents from publica tion. "There are elements in tne case.- said President Wilson, "which I cannot at present discuss, but which look to me very much. more favora ble." He BDoke of the situation to a half hundred Washington corres pondents at their semi-weekly con ference. It was apparent that he felt decidedly encouraged by recent advices. The President Is not nsu sllr quoted after these conferences, but today he permitted quotation to the extent of the slnele sentence. Asked about the word "favorable" he explained that he meant ravora ble" to a settlement. Another lpfluen o that Tz expected to contribute to Ifucrta's overthrow Is the extension of moral supnort to the Constitutionalists. If pressed to the extremitv the American Govern ment will lift the embargo on arms to sid the Constitutionalists in com posing! the situation, b.it there rs still a hopefulness nmoa.: high of ficials that such a steo w'll not be necessary. The Lnltcd States has offered no mediation to t-e Consti tutionalists, but sraply ip endeav orod to learn what projection would bn promised to foreigners and their pi onerty and what would be the prog-am of action of the Constitution alists if they ero sirirgsful by arms.'. The Washington Government re alizes that even tfiioul-t Huerta an nounce his Intenrlou to retire, a competent machinery of Government would have-' to be suhstitnved, and j that negotiation? for an armistice and peace arrangements looking to- I ward a fair and free election would have to be carefully worned out. Reports that General Huerta had fled from the Federal Capital were revived Thursday owing to the ina bility of those Interested In his ac tions to find any definite trace 'of him. Game Postponed. The Gazette la requested to state that the basketball game whlcn was to have been played at Belmont to morrow between the teams of the Belmont high school and Boiling Springs high school has been post poned until Monday afternoon.

A number of the larger es tablishments in the city had already gone on the cash basis and had tried It long enough to be thorougmy con vinced that it was the best and in fact the only system worth having. Last week the Thomson Mercan tile Company, one of the largest re tail establishments in this section announced through . the advertising columns of The Gazette that in the future all accounts due it would be held down strictly to thirty days. The manager, Mr. J. F. Thomson, states that his plan will be to mall to every customer of the establish ment who is on the firm's books a statement the first of the montn. it sold account Is not paid in full by the 10th of the month credit wfil he invariably discontinued. It is a plan but one step removed from tne strictly cash-down system and it is altogether probable that this firm will, before a very great while. Join the majority and substitute a strict' ly cash system for the thirty-day system now in vogue In talking , with The Gazette man Mr. Thomsan said: "I believe the time has come -when the merchants of this section of the country at any rate should go on a cash barfs or at least restrict the extension of credit to strictly thirty days, which is the nxt thing to cash. We have to set tle our accounts regularly with the wholesale houses and manufacturers and It Is not fair for the public to expect the merchant to ' carry them indefinitely when to do so would ne cessitate his borrowing money and paying interest on it In order to pay hia bills promptly. Asking for cred it Is largely a matter of habit. The great majority of our people do not need it and the fact that they can get it only leads them to extrava gant living. They do not know how much they are spending until tney wake up gome day to the Tact that thev have been living beyond their means and are badly in the hole. As a result some business houses must 8ufrer. Our new plan is meeting with favor among our patrons and we find practically all of them heart ily In sympathy with the cash-down movement.
