A greater demand for cot ton materials will demand a more extensive manufacture of these ma terials, and this will in turn create a demand for more raw cotton and so raise the price of cotton from its pres ent depressed condition. Each indi vidual purchase need not be great; but if all will help, the united strength of the movement will tell and show decided results. Some political economist has said that women do seven-eights of the spending. Certainly in the case of wearing materials, practically the en tire expenditure is In the hands of women. . Our appeal is, therefore, to the women. Let them do their cotton shopping early. Let them select, wherever possible, cotton fabric in stead of wool or silk. Many cotton fabrics are now made of a texture so fine that they have the beauty of silk, and so heavy that they give the warmth of wood. So this cotton co operation need cause no one any de privation or discomfort. ADVERTISED LETTERS Remaining In the Postoffice at Golds boro, Oct. 12, 191L MEN'S LIST: W. A. Arbine. W. D. Burton. : R.

THE DAUGHTERS OF MEN IX FIVE PARTS BY CHARLES KLEIN, AT THE ACME THEA TRE TONIGHT. The Acme theatre will present today "The Daughters of Men", by Charles Klein, adapted by Lawrence McClocky and produced by Geo. W. Terwilliger. A brief synopsis of the play follows : Richard Milbank and Daniel Cros by, brothers-in-law, are the heads of the Federated Iron, Coal and Trans portation Companies.. This immense corporation employs thousands of workmen. Crosby dies and Milbank retires. Crosby's eldest son Mathew, becomes president of the corporation while Reginald, the younger, is made a director. Milbank is represented by James Thedford, whom he makes vice president. This leaves the manage-: ment in the hands of young men. They soon become involved in labor difficul ties. The company assume an arro gant attitude and refuse to recognize the Brotherhood, Reginald marries an actress and the two proeeed to astound society by a series of enter tainments. At one of these functions the feature extraordinary 'is a minia ture lake of champagne, built in the ballroom floor, on which little gold sail-boats are propelled by the fans of the guests. Oscar Lackett, editor of a rabid labor newspaper, makes this stunt the subject of a red-hot editorial denouncing the company. strike is declared with Jem Burress, a crude, forecful young man, and Louis Stolbeck, a middle aged- Ger man as leaders. stoiDecK: nas a daughter, Louise, and Burress is in love with her. Louise, under the in fluence of the two men becomes a vio lent agitator. Later John Stedman, a young lawyer, comes into the public eye as a supporter nf the Rmthor.l He preaches moderation and hood, secures a big following among the more temperate of the strikers and is elected to the Brotherhood Council. Louise Stolbeck is attracted by . the young lawyer's quiet force and popu larity and Burress insanely jealous induces his clique to find some evi dence to discredit Stedman. Grace Crosby, sister of Reginald and the un compromising Mathew is of gentle nature, she attends many meetings of the strikers and is much interested in Stedman's addresses to the men and her admiration grows to love. Burress seizes upon this as a weapon ridicul ing Stedman's pose as a friend of the workmen while he is courting a mem ber of the family "responsible for all their woe3." At last Stedman visits the Crosby home and boldly asks for Grace's hand. The brothers ridiculed him until Uncle Milbank promises to consider the matter providing that he, Stedman, will end the strike. Sted man refuses and Grace, admiring his loyalty to the Brotherhood, declares that she will marry him in any case. Learning of Stedman's visit to the Crosby house, Burress accuses him of being n league with the Bosses and succeeds in turning some of the men against him, still the more intelligent have faith in him. Louise Stolbeck learns of Stedman's attentions to Grace Crosby and becomes enraged, but when she hears her father and Burress plotting to remove him from the Council her better nature prompts her to go to his apartments and warn him. Whil3 there Graces comes in, (it is night) she comes to tell him that she will marry him whether he stops the strike or not. She admires him for standing by his men. Lackett and Stolbeck arrive to demand Sted man's resignation and he goes down stairs to eee them, leaving the two women alone. Louise accuses Grace of following Stedman for selfish rea- sons and dares her to call up her peo - pie and tell them that she is in his rruvms Clrano tnlren tha nhnno ni1 calls her brother to come to Sted- man's and take her -home. Mathew and Uncle Milbank arrive and are ushered upstairs when the President of the Brotherhood and others arrive for a conference Louise and Grace him in another room. Stedman, to end the matter, offers his resignation, but Grace comes forward and refuses to permit it. All parties being present, a conference was in order and expla nations offered. The strike was end ed and Grace becomes Mrs. Stedman while tempestuous Louise is matching wills with the irascible Burress.

L. and Other Roadg Must Abide by "Rule 29" of the Commission. Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 12 The Corpo ration Commission issued this even ing an order upsetting the purpose of the Atlantic Coast Line, and any oth er of the Norti Carolina railroad companies that were planning to do so, to inaugurate a system in applying the new reduced intra-state freight rates, effective .October 13 through the Special Railroad Commission, by which the railroad would charge the higher rate for the longer distance over its own lines in cases where there was a shorter route over dif ferent lines for shipments where the shorter and cheaper route was not specified by the shipper. The commission says the Atlantic Coast Line has been advertising its purpose to apply the rate of its own shortest line to shipments not spec ially routed by a still lower combina tion route where such exists and giv ing notice that in "shipments so for warded the company may not under the law entertain claims for over- charge-on the basis of the lower rte I applicable via another route." The commission holds that this course would be in direct violation of Rule 29 of the commission, which can be enforced even if Section 2 of the Justice Act would seem to war- j rant the course indicated by the rail road company. Rule 29 making it obligatory on the railroad company to ship by the route giving the lowest rate; that "the plan of the railroad company would put the burden of routing the shipment over the cheap est route on the shipper, the majority of whom never think of it and are uninformed. The commission orders that the At lantic Coast Lane withdraw at once these instructions given, its agents and direct them to "route" all "sbip ments in strict accord with. Rule 29 of the Corporation Commission and furnish the commission with copies of such instructions to agents." Dr. R. L. Carr, of Rose Hill, was here today conferring with the Cor poration Commission, representing opposition, on the part of citizens of Rose Hill, Warsaw and Magnolia who oppose the petition of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company to be permited to take off passenger trains Nos. 90 and 91, Wilmington and Golds boro, on account of decrease in pas senger travel. The commission has not indicated whether or not a hear ing will be given opposition before acting on the petition of the ra... company. NEW GROCER Mr. H. H.
