We wonder if the auto truck manufacturers
had anything to do with ,
calling the strike? I,

Every misfortune has its blessings.
We are looking forward with pleasure
to Novembr 1st when we will get
a brief rest from the incessant shift- j

Commenting on the efforts of the |
southern farmer to organize co-opera- (
tlve marketing associations a wes- ]
tern publisher says the co-operative j
movement among farmers is nothing ,
new. 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.

Maxton, N. C.t Oct. 20?Stories j
mong the negroes show that not a I
w are superstitious about the '
oil weevil. 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

following he dropped dead.
