SEPTEItBEt It 1914. : - ' ' . Referring to our recent article in regard to careless automobile drivers, a gentleman suggests very pertinently that there is another side to the question. Ali the careless drivers ire not in automobiles, but . mstny of them drive teams. One of the most exasperating things per sons traveling by automobile have to contend with, is to get itt behind a slow teatn on a nar fdw road, when the driver of the team will not turn to either side and let the machine pass. This kind of thing frequently happens and the driver of the team pays no attention to sig nals, but simply creeps along' in the middle of the road just as though he owned it and had ex clusive right to it. Many peo ple lose sight of what automo biles are doing for the public roads. Their comfortable use demands improved roads. and the owners of machines are the foremost champions of good roads in all communities. They i are also generally the largest contributors of time and money ? to the improvement of roads. The automobile is with us to stay and their owners have rights to the highways and streets that users"of teams may j'usji as well recognize. Of course the whole . matter of travel on the streets and roads in pleasure and comfort depends upon the disposition of drivers of either teams or machines, to be considerate of the rights of others. If all drivers will sim ply use common politeness and gentlemanly breeding, there ' would be no friction. It is a pleasure to note that a better feeling is gradually growing be tween drivers of machines and drivers of teams and all travel ers can help the good cause by simply using gentle, manly courtesy. Greensboro, Sept. 2. A re ward has been offered in the sum of $800 for information that will lead to the arrest of O. C. Klingman, formerly manager of the branch office and ware house of the J. I. Case Thresh ing Machine Company in this ; -city, who is missing. It is said ' that the books of the office here show an apparent indebtedness ; f to the Case Company of approx ' ' ? imately $0,000. The Reitzel j'LAuto Service Company, in which 3Mr. Klingman was interested, ,' , has been placed in the hands of ' - a receiver, and the Greensboro Loan & Trust Company has is sued a warrant of attachment 'in an action on a $1,200 note it holds against M r. Klingman. . Mr. Klingman has been here several years having establish- i ed the Case Company's branch Office and is a native of Nebras ka. " He and his family have vtetood'hlgh socially. .

(The Progressive Farmer) , 1 lit is our hope and it seems! to us well founded that the Eu ropean war will be comparative ly brief. In any caset it seems safe to say that ' before spring the war should be over, and the survivors of the present strug gle ready . so resume , their wonted occupations. While all the nations Will suffer heavily in money as well 6s in men, the peoplewill have to be clothed-: and cotton will - continue to be the cheapest cldtbirig folks can wear. . " ':'. While for a few weeks, there fore, the cotton trade will tie seriously upset both by reason of the deranged oorfroeree of Europe and by reason of the fatb European ships will not be available for carrying our cotfcra abroad the hopeful fact is that 4 within a f ew '.moath anyhow, the world musl have our present 1914 cotton crops add must pay a fair price for it. The only question is as to whom the world will pay the farmer of the speculator. At present it seems certain that 4 golden harvest is going into the bands of the - speculators, unless something is done. Until the war is settled, cot ton, if marketed in the usual early-autumn quantities, -" will certainly be a drag on the mar ket and will not bring anywhere near its worth. The problem is as to whether our farmers are going to be forced to sell under such conditions and literally hand over to the speculative classes millions of dollars the toiling classes have created. In the face of such a disaster as genuine and as serious as if caused by flood, famine or earthquake it seems to us im perative that the National Gov ernment should lend ts aid. The Government should furnish sufficient money to enable every Southern farmer to1 borrow very nearly the value of, his cotton and so hold it until conditions become normal. And what is more, the Government must so control and manage its help as to make sure that it goes direct ly to the man it is intended for, without forcing him to pay high interest rates or excessive banking charges.
