RAIL 8HOP WORKER8 CON TINUE IN CHICAGO EXPECT NOJTHER STRIKE President Grable Saya Path To Early Adjuatment Of Dlaputea Open For Hla Organization i Chicago.—With E. F. Grable, presi dent of the Maintenance of Way Un- V Ion, asserting that he did not expect hla men to leave their work, confer ences looking toward a peaceful set tlement of the shopmen s strike con tinues. 1 Announcement by the Pennsylvania railroad that a satisfactory wage agreement had been reached with its shopmen was considered by some rail road and union leaders to have had a calrifylng efefct on the situation, in- 11 asmuch as the Pennsylvania has in sisted on dealing direct with its own men. . Mr. Grable issued a statement as serting that “the path to an early ad justment is open" so far as the four hundred thousand members of his or ganization are concerned. Mr. Gmble also said he had receiv ed assurances that Chairman Cum mins of the senate Interstate commerce committee expected to hold early hear ings on disputed points of the trans portation act, particularly with refer ence to the living wage principle. Mr. Grable said he advised the board of orders sent to his general chairmen to open negotiations with their respec tive roads immediately regarding dis puted rules, working conditions and wages, and to submit the case to the board i fan agreement was not reached. The first of these disputes came before the board—the dispute being that of the Chicago, Milwaukee and to St Paul railroad. The carrier set * aside the thirty-day clause in existing agreements for the filing of a dispute and Mr. Grable secured the board’s promise for early hearings on this and similar cases, many of which will be COjoylldated. CROP CONDITIONS FOR SOUTHEASTERN STATES [Atlanta, Ga.—Conditions, says the H’ .United States department of agricul ture, bureau of crop estimates, favored plant growth during the past fortnight. Much needed moisture became availa ble for the corn crop, which was suffer ing in much of the region. The situa tion is somewhat spotted. More rain than was needed fell in many locali ties, while some are still in need of showers. The corn crop is improving material ly, but is still below the average. Marked progress has been made in the growth of cotton. It is fruiting well, and its appearance is much bet ter than two weeks ago. Also improvement is noted in hay crops, grasses and pastures. “Shade” tobacco is in, and the qual ity and yields are better than last year. Rice is making good growth with fa vorable weather. Sweet potato crop is excellent, with Alabama and Florida leading. On July 1 the crops in the South east had undergone a very trying pe- k riod and had just begun to recover. This improvement continued over past two weeks, except in case of crops sub ject to special hazards. Cotton has im proved physically, but this is offset by increasing weevil damage. Mause Causes The Death Of 27 Cattle Spraugue, Wash.—One mouse caused the death of twenty-seven cattle on the ranch of Robert Potts. The mouse be came stuck in the pipe leading from a spring to the pasture watering trough. The animals died of thirst.

Hoodoo Locomotive Wrecked Sunday Knoxville, Tenn.—Louisville and Nashville passenger locomotive No. 230 —known to railroad men as the “killer” because of the lives lost in accidents in which it has figured—lies on a side track here a crippled bulk of twisted steel. Pulling the Southland, an all steel ~pasBetfger train from Cincinnati to Jacksonville, No. 230 burst a cyl inder head above Lafolletete, Tenn., the beam wrecking the engine before it could be stopped.

OPERATORS TOLD TO OPEN MINES ADMINISTRATION 8AY8 PUBLIC WELFARE MU8T COME FIR8T; “MINES MU8TOPERATE” U.S. TRIOPS MAY GUARD MEN . v President Issues Statement After Bitu minous Operators Accept Plan “In Principle” Japs Consider Offer To Buy Island Tokio.—The Japanese government is considering an offer for the pur chase of the island of Sakalien from Russia, according to the Yorou, a Tokio vernacular newspaper. The Is land of Sakhalien, approximately 400 miles in length, lies off the coast of the maritime province of Siberia im mediately north of Japan. Japanese occupation of Sakahalien and the con tiguous mainland during recent years has developed a controversy over her policy and intentions at home and abroad that in some quarters produc ed direct charges of imperialistic land grabbing against the Tokio govern ment. Washington.—Bituminous coal mine operators were invited by President Harding at the white house to “return to your mine properties and resume operations,” after they had replied to the president’s tender of arbitration for settling the national coal strike with a collective offer to put their properties and their service at the dis posal of the government “in this cri sis.” Speaking as chairman of the group of operators after the white house conference, Alfred M. Ogle said the employers would make the attempt to resume operations. Meanwhile the miners’ union, through an adjournment sine die of its controll ing policy committee, made certain its refusal to accept the arbitration pro posal, and many of its officials imme diately left Washington. The bitumi nous operators were likewise not a unit in accepting the government arbitra tion proposals, but the president said that a ’large majority" of them, by unqualified acceptance had given him occasion to “express my own and the public attitude.” There were intimations in official circles that all the implications of the decisions to ask that the mines be opened had been fully considered by the government, and that there was a possibility that the protection of troops nnd the American flag would be fur nished in districts where men were will' ing to work, failing sufficient local safeguarding. Employers generally held the view that some coal production would result in union fields in Penn sylvania and Ohio if nowhere else, even though executives of the non - union mines of the Ohio river reported that output was being cut off sharply due to lack of transportation, owing to the railroad strike. > A day and a night of almost continu ous sessions did not suffice to make the bitmuinous employers a unit for acceptance of the arbitration proposals of the government, even though anthra cite operators had given quick accept ance. On a final vote, a general let ter, accepting the principle of arbitra tion and making the tender of mines and services, was agreed upon and pre sented to the president. Kills Son-In-Law With An Ice Pick Jacksonville, Fla.—An ice pick wielded by his father-in-law brought an end to the domestic squalls of William Copeland, 32, according to the story related by the father-in-law, Marion A. Rice, 58, farmer, of Montgomery county, Georgia, who was held in the county jail on a charge of murder. Barge Line Of Nineteen Taken Over St. Louis, Mo.—Edward F. Goltra has complied with the government’s re quirements for taking over a fleet of 19 barges and four tow boats for op eration on the Mississippi, the United States engineers’ office here announces, WHY DOES A LARGE PORTION OF OUR COMMUNITY TRADE GO TO THE CITY? France May Yield On Reparations Paris. — Final settlement o fthe Ger man reparations problem is beginning to be publicly recognized in France as inevitable. The proposal to reduce the German indemnity of fifty billion gold marks to cancel the French debt to Great Britain and to conclude the long pending Anglo-French defensive alliance has become such a constant subject of discussion in reparation cir cles that newspaper and political ex perts although not yet defining the terms in detail are beginning to ac cept as a foregone conclusion that there must be some adjustment. Actress Does Not Figure In Will Test Los Angeles, Calif.—Gloria Swanson “does not enter into this case in any .degree,” argued counsel for the de fense to the jury hearing the contest over the will of Matthew P. Burns, shoe merchant, who devised the bulk of his * $100,000 estate to his widow, the moth er of the film actress. Allegations were made by the contestants, Burns’ blood relatives, that Miss Swanson had conspired with her mother to effect Burns’ marriage to the latter and a will in her favor 2 Rail Executives Inspect Coal Fields Birmingham, Ala.—Coal fields of the Cahaba river valley near Overton have been inspected by C. H. Markham, pres ident of the Illinois Central railroad, and W. A. Winburn, president of the Central of Georgia railroad, accompa nied by members of the staffs. It was stated that these railroad officials would spend the week-end in Birming ham. Wife Will Forgive Eloping Husband Xenia, Ohio.—Although Rev. W. W. Culp of Spring Valley M. E. church deserted his wife and nine children and eloped with Miss Esther Hughes, 19-year-old music teacher and a board er at the Culp home, and now under arrest at Port Huron, Mich., Mrs. Culp will receive him with open arms if he will come back. In the midst of packing the meager family belong ings preparatory to a return to her home at Wakarusa, Ind., Mrs. Culp said she would take her husband back if he would return home. The answer is very simple. It has long been the popular opinion that clothing, farm implements, hardware and general supplies can be bought cheaper from mail order houses in the larger cities than they can be bought from our own local dealers. The reason for this is that these mail order houses are constantly broadcast ing catalogues and booklets and con sistently advertising their wares ,in magazines and newspapers. Through consistent advertising in this paper—not necessarily large space —but a uniform advertisement, a large percentage of our local trade will be kept at home. Let the people know what can he bought at home. “IT PAYS TO AD VERTISE." Co-operation. Today we hear a great deal about “co-operation” and “team work” and often we are prone to think they are but the idle words of public speakers, with no meaning at all. However, it is on this same “co operation" that the industries of the world depend. Not on the. mere word, but on the spirit of It. Employees depend upon their em ployers, and employers are eternally seeking better co-operation from their employees. Business men and large enterprises must co-operate to be mu tually successful. And here in our own town no less than elsewhere is this same co-opera.- tion needed. This paper needs and seeks the co-operation of every mer chant and other business men in this town—and you also need our co-oper ation. It’s by “everlasting team work” that we will both grow. Let’s go! About the Rates on Advertising in This Paper. “Your rates are too high,” said a merchant to us the other day. When you buy an advertisement in this pa per did you ever stop to’consider how many people read this paper? It is estimated that from 3 to 5 per sons read EACH copy of'this paper. Just for the sake of argument, say that our rate is 25c an ipch. Suppose you are using a ten idch advertise ment—the cost being $£'50. bur cir culation is 1,000. Using as a basis to work on that 3 people read each copy—3,000 read each issue. Your cost per reader at this estimate would be about two-tenths of a cent. This is the most reasonable form of advertising in the world. FAYETTEVILLE METHODISTS In Great Revival Meeting Which Closes This Week. The revival meeting at the Method ist Church closes this week. Great in terest has been taken in the commun ity welfare throughout the entire meet ing, and Mr. De Bardeleben has been preaching twice daily to large congrega tions, larger perhaps than have been attendant at any other church meeting in this district; more homes have been represented locally and a more ex tended | community has been reached than at any previous effort in the his tory of the church.

FEAST CHANGED IN MEANING Atlanta.—Final plans in a movement which, it is believed will bring about the immigration of thousands of farm ers from other states into Georgia, are to be considered and adopted at a state-wide conference at the Ansley hotel in Atlanta soon under the aus pices of the Georgia association. The plans, which have been pre pared after thorough and painstaking study of land settlement plans in every part of the country and in the light of one year’s actual Georgia advertis ing results, according to F. H. Abbott, secretary of the Georgia association, are to be subjected to final criticism at this meeting and, upon approval, are to be made public and the machinery immediately set in motion in a number of counties to make definite offerings of attractive farm opportunities to sev eral hundred prospective farm set tlers with whom the association is in contact. "It is possible for Georgia to secure new and desirable farmers from other states," Mr. Abbott asserted. “This is not my personal opinion; it is a simple statement of facts. Nearly one hun dred families from nothern states have settled in Georgia during the past twelve months and a great many more are in immediate prospect. I am speak ing only of the families directly or indirectly Influenced to settle here through Georgia association activities of publicity in national farm publica tions. “While some of the settlement is by single families, by far the greatest interest is shown in group or colony settlements. In addition to two farm colonies that have already taken firm root, I am at the present moment co operating with representatives of three large groups in the selection, of lands for live stock And fruit' farming in volving an area of more than 100,000 acres, contemplating a subdivision into approximately 2,500 farms. “Three principal things are retard ing a possible tide of farm immigra tion to Georgia unprecendenfled in the history of the south. “First, lack of standardized farms modernly improved and priced and sold and handled after sale according to methods having sole regard to the social, educational and economic needs of the farm settler; totally divorced from the idea of land-selling; and, completely safeguarded from the re motest possibility of land speculation. “Second,‘lack of alertness or inter est and of necessary response on the part of large land owners, bankers and business men to co-operate effec tively in furnishing the finances really required to organize, administer and advertise a result-getting, standardized land settlement plan. “Third, failure of southeastern rail roads to arrange low home-seekers ex cursion rates to the southeastern states, as do the western railroads, to attract farm settlers from other sec tions of the territory.” Atlanta Second For Efficiency Atlanta.—Atlanta now stands second in efficiency in clinical tubercular work, putting this city ahead of New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and other large cities, according to Miss Mary Dickinson, secretary of the Anti-Tuber culosis association. A table compiled by the National Tuberculosis associa tion, showing the number of tubercu losis clinic hours per 100,000 popula tion in several important cities in the United States, gives Boston the lead with 20 hours. Others are as follows: Philadelphia, 13; Chicago, 12; Indian apolis, 11; New York, 10; Cincinnati 10; Cleveland, 8; and Louisville, 8; Atlanta, according to an extremely conservative estimate based on the past six months’ work of the Anti-Tu berculosis association, has a rating of 14 plus. When it is borne in mind that this work is almost totally carried on by public-spirited physicians, den tists and others without charge—men. whose services command high fees in active professional circles, this con tribution to the welfare of both city and nation is something that Atlanta can be very justly proud,’’ the local association declares. Ordered Held By Grand Jury Atlanta.—Elmer Ovller, founder and former head of he Oliver Rim com pany, was indicted on charges of em bezzlement of $90,000 from the com pany. Attorneys for the company de clared that though the indictment set the figure of embezzlement at $90,00C it would probably amount to more than $200,000 and would, in all prob ability, mean a loss of more than 1,300 stockholders In Georgia. Attorney George C. Spence, who presented the matter to the grand jury, said the sub stitution of promoters’ stock for treas ury stock composed the larger part ol the alleged embezzlement. Through this method, it is charged, Oliver ob tained approximately $129,000. Through alleged discounting of company notes and other alleged irregularities, Mr Spence said, the total amount embez zled by Oliver would amount to $200,- 000. The Woman’s Club will meet Mon day afternoon, July 24th. at the home of Miss Nannie Lou Stell. Miss Tish Mullins, Mrs. L. M. Lester and Mrs. Malone will entertain with Miss Stell. Time of meeting 4 o’clock. Jewish Passover Originally Agricul tural Festival—Now Refers Di rectly to Escape From Egypt. The Jewish festival of Passover com memorates the release of the Hebrews from Egyptian bondage. The festival opens with a household ceremony, called the Seder, at which a collation Is served and various religous rites performed, including a recital of the events of the Exodus, from a special ritual service complied for this occa sion. Originally Passover was an agricul tural feast. At a later period It be came dissociated in part from Its prim itive nature and came to refer direct ly to the escape from Egypt, which in vested the festival with the new and highly significant spiritual message of liberty for all mankind. In the synagogue the note of spring is reflected in assigned scriptural reading wherein the worshiper is re minded that the winter Is over. This is in harmony with the purpose of the Passover, which is to recall to mind the many miracles which were wrought in behalf of the House of Jacob by the never-slumbering guardian and keeper of Israel, Israel is bidden, through the annual message of Passover, to work for the eventual triumph of hu manity over the tyranny of injustice aud iniquity.—Detroit News.
