Short cotton, 24c; seed, 52%c. Rev. H. Norwood Bowne, of High Point, will begin a speciai mission in Calvary church tonight, which wiii last through the week. Mrs. A. A. Tarlton had string beans, roasting ears and butter beans fresh picked from her garden for din ner Saturday. The frost several' weeks ago got most of the gardens^, but a few are still bearing. , Crop Statistician M. John Burr re ports that 13,535 bales of cotton were ginned in the county prior to November 1st, as compared with 19,-^ 293 to the same date iast year. This is a shortage of 5,758 bales to this period. It looks now like the Anson crop will reach 19,000 or 20,000 bales. ORicers D. W. Sedberry and H. L. Dabbs on last Saturday visited the small store of Dorse Jones, in South Wadesboro, and found a small quan tity of liquor, also a number of empty containers. Jones is now under $300 bond. - For some time there has been complaint from residents of that vicinity regarding Jones' store. Last Saturday Charlie Tillman was run over on the Salisbury road by a car driven by Herbert Sturdivant, and was painfully hurt. The paved road through the colered section is dangerous and both drivers and pedestrians should be careful. It is usually very crowded on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. "Little" Jack Freeman, colored, was arrested by oRicers last night on a charge of attempted rape of a col ored girl, and he is now in jail. Free man was chased by relatives and friends of the girl, and went through a barb wire fence in the course of the chase. However, when odicers went to arrest him they found him in bed. The Wesley Bible class of the Meth odist church had a weinie roast on the high school grounds last Friday night, and the event was well attend ed and much enjoyed. Short talks were made by Messrs. J. H. Armbrust and W K. Boggan, and in an eating contest with L. G. Atkinson, Fred Ballard showed that he is still the champion eater of the class. Mr. R. L. Bowman was present with a radio and the concert which it furnished was a feature of the evening. FORGET IT. Phiideiphni Record. The republican attitude toward the grave scandals which have stained the administration of national affairs at Washington is not that of a re pentant sinner. The party makes no apologies. It asknowledges no guilt. It assumes no responsibility. It re. ' lies upon the potency of an appeal which may be expressed in three words: "Aw, forget it!" Arc the American people going to forget it? Are they going to condone an un exampled orgy of corruption which the executive department of the government failed to halt, and the profits of which would have been pouring into private pockets today but for the interference of the se nate? Arc they giving to overlook bribery reaching its slimy hand into the cabinet of the president of the United States? The convention of hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of government property to private uses? The debauchery of the de partment of justice and the perver sion of its functions, so that its pow ers were used to protect grafters, its agents to intimidate and spy upon investigators, its codes * for the se cret correspondence of persons try ing to evade the long arm of the law ? The shameful appropriation by able bodied civilians of a large part of the enormous funds voted by congress for the relief of disabled veterans?. Is there an American whose blood does not boil when he thinks of the unspeakable meanness, the gross in humanitarianism, of the harpies who, under republican auspices, participa ted in this robbery of crippled sol diers who had laid down more than life itself on the altar of patriotic self-sacrifice? Is there one who dare to demur to the proposition that every man, and every agency high or low, responsible for the looting of the lame, the halt and the blind shall be held to the strictest accountabili Forget it! How can honest men and women who put decency above partisanship forget it? How can Americans who take pride in the suc cess of their republican form of government, with its inherent power ef punishing maladministration and insufficiency at the ballot-box, for get it? One of the foremost Coolidge wor kers in Ohio is Harry M. Daugherty. Rear Admiral Robinson, who was Doheny's able assistant in putting over the wost of the oil deals, is now slated for promotion by the Coolidge administration. Indict ments hanging over the head of a bootlegger who retracted testimony he had given about the use of money in the purchase of immunity in li quor deals have now been quashed at the instance of an assistant U. S. attorney general. Forget it! Subscribe for the M. & L THE USEFUL AUTOMOBILE. There is disposition in certain quarters to ef&icize farmers for buy ing automobiles. The critics seem to think that farmers use autees for pleasure only and that theyj^should work more and ride less. These ctitiea are very much mistak en. The SUtBYHobile is one of the farmer's most urgent necessities. There-*!'np moge useful machine on the farm than,the automobile. The ox Wdgoh and the horse and buggy are now too slow on the farm. *^Spe&d* is as necessary on the farm sa^in the town and city. The automobile has given us good roads, consolidated schools, efficient rural delivery, more efficient county agents, and a broader social outlook, in addition to enabling us to market our produce and buy our farm sup plies to the best advantage. There are many farm homes without tele phones and^goods are not delivered to the fantf&'s door, and the auto enables him to attertdtb his business in the shortest possible time. The automobile is a great time saver on the farm. It takes the farmer to church, after the doctor, and to town to attend to business quickly and brings him back rested rather than in a tired condition. Th& farmer can now do a day's work on the farm and then attend a meet ing 10 miles distant at night. Parsons Drug Co.

Phone 79. Dockery & Moore The, Royal Scarlet Store. The greatest thing in the farmer's life is a satisfied family — a family content to remain on the farm. The automobile makes it possible for the farm family to mix with their neigh bors, visit the school attend church and social affairs, go to towin,' or a the meeting of the club. Among j lists of benefactors, such as rural free delivery, telephones, water works, electric lights, county agents, etc., the automobile is entitled to a place well at the head for without it, success on the farm is much more difficult to achieve. —* G.
