C., October 27, 1921 We wonder if the auto truck manufacturers had anything to do with , calling the strike? I, . Every misfortune has its blessings.

There are 6,000 farmer-owned . elevators in the west where co-opera- ( tive marketing is no longer an exper- , iment. The latest development in cooperative marketing is the movement ; among dairy farmers to start city delivery systems. The dairy farmers say ( the "rake off" between producer and . consumer is too heavy. The same may , be said of cotton and all other farm products raised in the south. I ( ( Harris, prominent white man of j Ridgecrest, N. C., who slew his neigh- , tor in a jealous rage, was electrocu- . ted at Raleigh last Thursday. Almost superhumn efforts were made^ to secure a commutation of sentence.|, It was alright for Judge Carter, of aonnsel for Harris, to appeal through the press to the people of North Car-)* olina to flood the governor's office j with letters and telegrams in Harris' behalf, but when Judge Carter accused the governor of being influenced by political and financial considerations he closed the door of hope to | narris. mere was a possibility that the governor would have been moved ' by humane reasons, but if lie had|^ given way to his feelings after the publication of the Judge Carter ^ charges it would have been a tacit ad-j* mission that the charges were true.' I r. It took a high degree of courage for the governor to resist the pressure!v that was brought to bear on him. If ' the wretched Harris had a chance' 0 Judge Carter's charges destroyed it. I ^ Tf the ill-timed appeal to the public v bad saved Harris* life it would havej( condemned the governor to a living! j, death. )(' Fox, Gappins and Kirby, self-con- j} ft.ssed murderers of the young taxi-'|v cab driver, Fitzgerald, were not exe- e, au ted, last Friday and there Is much ^ wondering. This is regrettable, but it sj cannot be helped. The eleventh-hour'OI appeal from the verdict of the lower court acts automatically as a stay of ,j. execution and the supreme court must hear their cases before they can jn be put to death. The law gives thejU{ same measure of protection to every j(, oitizen, and the law could not be changed to suit this particular case, -pi The chances are that Fox, Gappins rn and Kirby will go to the electric chair, ni bull the law must take it course be- ai fore the sentence of death is car-'Cf ried out. There is talk of asking the|Sll next, general assembly to change the rr law so that technicalities which =?? I _ - -- - ??I times act as an obstruction to the prompt administration of justice may be removed, but to do so would be to venture on dangerous ground. The W court of appeal is the great scale in si which justice is weighed without passion or prejudice, fear or favor, and any law which limits its power or clothes it with authority to make exceptions in any particular case would destroy the very purpose for which a it was established. The taking of a human life, even by the state, is a s< serious matter, and the accused (j should be given every opportunity to j establish his innocence. Where the ^ death penalty is involved, iifstead of s] making the right of appeal more dif- k ficult the law should be amended by a requiring the state to pay the costs of b an appeal where it can be shown to u the satisfaction of the court that the accused is not able to raise sufficient c money to pay the costs. The processes ' of the law are slow, but justice trl- 0 timphs in the end. The chances are P that Fox, Gappins and Kirby will pay r. the extreme penalty for the murder of r the young taxi-cab driver, but al- j though their crime was a heinous one, it would be a still greater crime to < rush them to their death without giving them an opportunity to exhaust all the resources of the law in their 1 own behalf. don't <;kt panicky. "There has been so much boll weevil talk," remarked a conservative1 business man the other day, "that I am afraid the people sye beginning to &<dieve that actual starvation stares them in the face," 1 There Is a lot in what this business man says. There has been nothing bui boll weevil talk since the middle of the summer, when the weevil made its appearance in this county. There are two sides to every question, and there is a good to the Boll weevil question. Starvation does not follow in the wake of the boll weevil. The boll weevil has been In mm cotton. belt, for the past fifteen m muxm mi years. During that period he haa crossed the cotton belt, but there has been no starvation. In 1916, ten years after the boll weevil reached the cotton belt, the south made a recordbreaking crop, and the 'biggest crops the south ever made have been made since the coming of the weevil. The boll weevil does damage, but it does not clean up the cotton fields like a horde of army worms. If it did North and South Carolina would have been the only states in the south last year to make a cotton crop. The pntire crop would not have been more than 2.000,000 bales, but the other ten million bales were made In states where the boll weevil has been operlting for 15 years. For the past three months we have heard only one side of the boll weevii question?and that has been the iinret o!/l a kl!T 1 ? * m nv?oi oiur. ?* c uavt iit^ara oi mc man who planted 500 acres and got 50 bales. News like that travels, bemuse i. is news?it is startling. We tiave not, however, heard of the farmer in boll weevil territory who made 500 bales on 500 acres. There Is nothing startling about that bemuse it is being cone every year, rhat has been done so many times' right here at home that it Is nothing unusual. We have liear^ the story so jften that it does not attract attention and news that does not attract attention does not travel very fast nor irery far. We had heard so much about :he poverty-stricken counties of lower Georgia, lower Alabama, Mississippi. Louisiana and Texas that of curiosity ive took the other day a late copy of i commercial rating book of the souhern states and went over the -ntings of the merchants and manufacturers in these sections. The result of our investigations was turprising. We found that merchants Wd manufacturers in these sections uid just as good ratings as merchants] .nd manufacturers who were out] >f boll weevil territory. We could lot toll tho lllffor.ll/.o r-.. - i * I w.. v.iv uiui ivuvr JJV mi cia Cirujl | nd rating were concerned. They were j loing business at the "same old I tands." If the boll weevil leaves pov- j ity in its wake there were no evilences of it in these sections where he boll weevil made its appearance cars ago. We are not trying to minimi-e the ( riousness of the bolt weevil situaion. If next year is an unfavorable ar the boll weevil will cut down he cotton crop in Dillon county from 0 to 40 per cent. Where we have eon making 40,000 bales of cotton "c will not make more than 20,000 a 25.000 bales, but the cotton crop 1 Dillon county will not be a total iss. There will be good crops on [>me lands and poor crops on others, ut where a man plants no more than e is able to cultivate properly the <perienjce has been that normal crops ave been made, except during excesvely wet or very unfavorable seas- ( is. There is nothing alarming about ie situation. While less cotton will planted, there will be a eorrespondgly smaller amount of fertilizers ed, and heretofore the fertilizer bill " is amounted to one-fourth of the to1 value of the county's cotton crop, here will be more food and feedstuffs ised which means that less cash onev will be sent away from home, i id taking it as general average the unty will get along fairly well. But > far as want and suffering are conrned?those are matters not worthy ' consideration. I Mr. J. A. Hursey left Monday for! 'ilmington, N.

An old woman said, "I'm :ared of them, they are getting in le peas, and one man died after eatig peas for dinner." Being assured hat the weevil was good for soup, he insisted that It would not do to ill them, any way, that a man up bout Rockingham put some In a ottle and burner them and on Satrday following he dropped dead.
