Almost the entire week has been spent in try ing to secure places fur these ladie.s to board without result. It now seems as if Camden will lose several good teachers unless board can be had at once. One. experienced teacher refused to accept a position in the high school until board at a reasonable price was assured. This we have not been able to do. so we will lose our chance at her!"

North Asked (41 Keep Hands Off. # Austin. Texas, Sept. 1. ? Resolutions declaring emphatic opposition to "people of the North who do not understand con ditions in the South interfering with our relationship" adopted b.v the executive board of the St. Johns Missionary Negro Haptist Association, were mad" public at a meeting here tonight of 2.0<)0 ne groes and more than 1(M) white persons, called to discuss the race question. "If we are left to ourselves." the resolution declared, "we will, in time, adjust all our difference for the ?ood of all concerned." The Negro Haptist Association, which called the meeting, has a membership of 20, (MM) negroes in the vicinity of Austin. A portion of the preamble to the de cision dei-lares : "Those magazines, newspapers and ' periodicals published by negroes, that magnify the wrongs and minimize the good, that publish and brandish before the eye incendiary articles at this time are enemies rather than friends, of the race." Negroes here say the Austin meeting is the beginning of a nationwide move ment to establish a ?better understand ing between the race*. Mr. Kelly Named as Delegate. (!ol. J. H.

I. -Community co operation in reducing tbf high cost of living i* ii < k?*<l by Attorney General Palmer, according to Governor Copper, who ri'iiifiu'il to his office today after an ?PWWf '0f two wi'cks in at tendance upon the annual conference of Governor# iu Salt l.akc City. Governor Cooper return ed by Washington where ho, as a mem ber of a commit tor of (lovcrbori, bud a conference with President Wilsou unci Attorney <\'in'ial Palmer relative to State assistance in t li?? nation's war ou profiteer*. The plan us outlined by Mr. Puliuer Is to name a faij* price commissioner in ?each State, who in turn will desig .i.ile fair price <>omiaittees iu each com munity. Should the committees be uu able to determine a scale of fuir prices, the Attorney Geueral's office will have authority to name an equitable figure. Mr; Palmer emphasised that those charged with hoarding necessities would be prosecuted. Governor Cooper issued the following, statement this afternoon '?onccrning the government drive to cut I trices : "The Attorney General of the Cnited States regards the present crisis grow-!| jug out of the cost of living as of very serious nature. /ll <? is putting forth every possible cflYirt t . ? bring about an eco nomic arrangement that will be fair to all. 'INi do this, the intelligent coopera tion of each community is desired. The act of < 'o tigress regulating hoarding and selling of necessities during the war, is ^rtll in effect. This being the case, the plan .<f the Attorney General is to name Ji tail- price commissioner in each State, and this commissioner will in turn, name fair price committees for eactl community in his State; The Attorney General will accept the price* agreed upon by these committees. In case it is not possible to get the committee# to serve, the question of regulating prices will be handled directly from the Attorney General's office. Information now in hand relative to the illegal hoard inn of necessities will lead to prosecu tion's. stated Mr. Palmer. "In our conference with President \\ ilson and with Attorney General Palmer, each 'stressed the needs of Kuropc. where a great shortage of food and clothes exists. The production in Europe is now 40 per cent under the normal before the war. Food, fuel and clothing must be sent to Europe, elite there will result Kuch a serious, crip pling of European industries, that- they will be unable to buy our raw materials. This, obviously, would be disastrous to us. as well as to Europe. Consider the case of Italy, for instance. Italy has no. coal ; for many years she has been buying fuel from England, but England can not now supply it. The *^ieed must be supplied by us, or the Italian indus tries will diminish. "Both the President and the Attor ney General, appreciate the fact that in order to secure great production of raw muterinlf}, the producers .pust have a fair profit. It is not the intention of any department of the government to injure any1 producers or manufac turers, on the contrary, their purpose is to assist every one in the making of a fair profit. It is short.' lighted to kill the goosf that lays the golden eggs by reaping enormous profits for a while, and therebv cut off future sales. "The government sees that there is too great a difference between the prices paid for raw materials, and the price* paid for the finished products made from these materials. It is, therefore, the purpose i*f the government to ' put an end to the arrangements which permit several tin reasonable profits being made in the process from the producer to the ultimate consumer. "The public must, eveutuall.v, solve the problem that is now uppermost in the thoughts of the people. The so lution res, lives itself, to a very consid erable extent, into this proposition : Raw materials in sufficient quantities to su]>f>ly the needs of the world must !>?? produced, and the finished products must he consumed in a frugal manner. If the ultimate consumer wijl buy only the things thaf he must have, he will reduce the cost of living. If the pro ducer will see to it that the yield is adequate, he will thus serve the world, 1)?> assured of a fair profit, and will more over. pro ted himsolf against high prices, for he is. perforce, an ultimate con smner as well as a producer. ''We nre approaching a crifd# that will demand of us all the best that is in us. We must economize and in crease production and we must be con tent to sell whatever we have to sell at reasonable prices. We must practice self-denial and live honestly and simply. The world is in a condition which l? causing many well informed men more anxiety than was caused by the war I.Ktt COI NTV NRW8 1 1 ciiis of 1 III (?athered From llisli opville Vill(ll?'MIOI'.

This land was formerly the property of W. T. Smith and O. K. Price and were adjoining farms which will be converted into one large farm. The property comprises several hundred acres of fine pasture lands, a great deal ??f open land ^jmd quite a nice lot of timber land. A saw mill will soon be erect ed on this property and a good many new tenant houses will be erected. rtself. "Here is the situation : the people of European countries are demoralized and almost disheartened. They are short of food and fuel and they are looking to America to supply these shortages. This does not mean that we are to extend charity to them but we must arrange credits for them. We must fk> these things if they are to live and get back to normal conditions so they may buy our raw product* and pay for them. If we do not reopen the European market* we will have un told depression in this country, and in order to help the European countries we must practice economy ourselves.

When the lenders found the npgro was not in the jail ,tlie mob turned its attention to J !I large (piantity of illicit whiskey which j had been found stored in one room. The head of a lU-gallon keg was smash ed iu, cups were prodtteed and tho lhpior vanished rapidly. Cases of quart bottles were broken open and the bottles rap idly carried away. One white man and two negroes were wounded as a sequel to the rioting last, night following attacks 011 the jail. One ( of the negroes was shot by a militiaman while resisting search. Twelve hundred national guardsmen are patrolling the city. All negro passengers coining by train are being searched at the stations. The list of known dead totals seven. For *25 years the corners at Vine and Central avenue have been the con gregating places of negroes, particular ly so on Saturday nights. On account of the unusual excitement Saturday night and the fear of the negroes to venture into other parts of tho city, their cus tomnrv hanging out"* places were more than crowded. Iteyond this and a tense feeling un der-current nothing out of the ordinary was noticed early Saturday night, but shortly after 11 o'clock shots were heard on Central avenue, near Vine, and ne groes poured down to tho <*orner of Vine and Central from every direction. A few white men 'were in the section and shooting soon began in earnest. When the fourth Tennessee machine gnn company opened,, fire in the direc tion of the corner at Ciflitral and Vine streets the high npoisl bullets picked holes in the pln^e glass as easily and smoothly as punching holes through a shoot of. paper with a pencil. Not only did bullets hit tho front of the store on tho Vine avenue side, bat they glanced i?fT from the brick structure on Oen trnl and punctured the store front on the Central street side ns well. 1 When the soldiers passed off Gay street on to Vine* avenue crowds of ne groes also advanced toward them from Vino and Central. Half way down Vine between Gay and Central, the first squad of men stopped and sot up two machine gnns. In the meantime the mob of whites that was trailing tho militja be gan firing in the directioa of Vine and! Central. This frightened the negroes to' cover" and when the machine guns npen-j <?d ni> only a few remained in the] street.
