Gaull, joint superintendents of the cemetery, wisi to make Kosemont a beautiful place Everything to he in harmony. Theii main idea is to make it a lawn cemetery because of so rich clay j.nd U keep the land from washing. The walks and roads will be lapt in pooc condition so there will be no troubU tt) get in and e.ut and about the cmtery. They have had quite a few pee pie to give them charge of their lots for annual care. The charges are foi full square $4.00, half square $11.00 i ne-fourth square, $2.00. That is foi the whole year, not just the summemonths. In the fall they sow grass seed so as to keep the lot green during the winter and keep this grass mowed down at all times. They wish it und< rstoocl that the c ity gives them only $25.00 per month They have to pay a good man $50.0iJ a month to work in the cemetery. The public does not wish them to pa\ $25.00 out of their own pockets every month to keep the cemetery in goot hape. This $25.00 comes from the charge of grave digging and clearin.u off lots. If they can get enough iron i j- irum clearing oil lots to put two ! ?'n to work thoy will tlo so. It is not :? money-making proposition with it is a help to them in their busines up town on Main street?Union Marble & Granite Co?and it is a civic pride. A well-kept cemetery speaks much for the pood of a community; a neglected cemetery gives it a black eye. They are sure that those interested in the upkeep of Rosemont will assist them in a moral and financial way tn do what they are trying to do at the cemetery. They also do cement construction work, as straightening up monuments and guarantee them to stay straight, make cement curbing, etc. The city council has passed an ordinance gi\ieg them full charge of the cemetery and all work to he under their iipi-rvision. They wish the public to understand that there is Tots of work to he d'-ne before Rosemont can lie made a beautiful place. Give tlieni time. It will take a year or two.

Premier Poincare sent a note to the I Sri I i - H government this evening, informing the government that h?* ..mill not. fix a date for a meeting with Premier Moyd George in London before he had received the repojrt of the committee on guarantees which will form the basis of the discussions on reparations. Most of the members of this committee have returned to Paris and will probably meet tomorrow to draw up a report on the financial situation m Germany. This, it is expected, will require several *lays. It may be ready for the reparations commission by the end of the weekk, and pending its receipt government and reparations cir. clcs are withholding comment. The return to Paris of Sir John H. Bradbury, the principal British representative on the reparations commission, has been delayed for several days to enable him to confer at greater length with the British authorities. It, has been intimated that the British delegate will await the French decision on the moratorium before making known the British point of view.

Manufacturers Increasing Their Importation of Working Material New evidence of the increased activity of the manufacturers of the I'nited States comes to the surface in the latest reports of their importation of manufacturing material of the class for which they rely upon foreign countries. Official reports of the value of the manufacturing material imported in May of the current year show, says the Trade Record of The National City Bank of New York, an increase of .'13 per cent in the value of the raw material imported when compared with the same month of last year, ami an increase of over GO per cent in the value of the manufactures for further use in manufacturing. This startling increase in the value of manufacturing material drawn front abroad in the latest month for which figures are available is the more interesting, adds the Trade Record, when we consider that the prices of many 01 ine unities so imported are now materially lower than a year ago, and that the advance in the total value of these mterials imported really > means a larger increase in quantities than the mere figures of value would j, indicate. While the details of the May importation are not yet available, those of April, in which the increase was also large, are at hand and show that the price at which many of the manufacturing materials were imported was less than that of a year ago. Manila hump, for example, imported in April, 1922, came at $134 per ton ' against $255 in the same month of last year; sisal $109 per ton against $11(1; India rubber 17c per pound against 21c; pig iron $.32 per ton " against $02 in the same month of last Mar; copper $12'ac per pound against I 1 v-; tin 29c per pound against 34c; leaf tobacco for cigar wrappers $2.03 p.-r pound against $2.17, and other tobacco 03c per pound against $1.02 a year earlier; and ground wood pulp ' $30 per ton against $42. In the textiles, however, cotton, wool, and silk, the 1922 prices are higher than those of a year ago, and this is also true of hides. A study of the figures of quantity of manufacturing materials now being imported gives further evidence of the increased demand of our manufacturers upon the outside worll. Hides and I skins imported in April, 1922, al tnough at slightly higher prices than . a year earlier, aggregated 32,000,000 pounds against 22,000,000 in April of last year; India rubber 43,000,000 pounds against 26,000,000 a year earlier; unrefined copper 19,000,000 pounds against 10,000,000; furs 8,800,000 pieces against 4,906,000 in the same month of last year; pig tin 10,500,000 pounds against 2,500,000 in April, 1921; lumber 90,000 M feet against 41,000; mechanically ground wood pulp 10,000 tons against 5,000; i-.nd chemical wood pulp, 41,240 tons against 13,536 tons in April of last year. In cotton, wool, silk and fibers, however, the quantities in April, 1922, are less than in the snme month of last year. While it is not to be assumed, adds the Trade Record, that prices are "down ' in all the manufacturing matt rials or that the quantities of ail classes show an advance, the fact that the total value of manufacturing material imported in May, 1922, is $127,000,000 against $90,000,000 in the same month of last year, suggests that the reports of increased activity coming from the great manufacturing centers are quite justified. Resolutions of Respect Whereas, God in Ilis infinite wisdom has seen tit to remove from our midst Mrs. J. 1.. Blair, a faithful and loyal member of Grace church and the Woman's Missionary society. We deplore her loss, hut bow in humble submission to the will of our Heavenly Father, knowing that whatever he does, is for the best.

County Treasurer. Work in Overalls Rocky Mount, N. C., July 18.?Half a dozen officials of the Atlantic Cons; Line headquarters here were in overnils today attempting to discharge the duties of i'ie 800 ,striking railroad em- , ployees. All freight and passenger trains from th > 1 >cal junction were put through on ii. ie today, but of- , ficials of the road doubted their tbility to continue to cope with the situation. The last of the s, ecial guards resigned today following the kidnapi.ig , of 18 of their number Sunday and n three last night. , Three arrests were made today in | connection with the disorders of the | last few days. R. N. Barnes and Pat Causby, describing themselves as machinists' helpers, and F. Wilson, a lo- < eal merchant, whose store is located < near the railroad shops, are in eus- i tody charged with assault, conspir acy and kidnaping. I i-. ?"W Invasion Came Without Warning Jerusalem, July 18,.?The Trans- s jordania country has been invanded tl by Ibn Saoud, Sultan of Nejd, and leader of the most powerful Wahabi tribe. Saoud has declared hostilities against Abdullah Emir of Transjordania, and at the head of 10,000 wellarmed Arabs he is within four-hours murch of Amman, the capital of Transjordania, which is about GO miles east of Jerusalem. This invasion came without any warning the latter part of May, anil it has added materially to the turbulence of Anglo-French lc'.ations in this part of the world. It ha* brought to light what isv alleged to be a secret treaty concluded some three months ago between Saoud an I representatives of the French Republic. Emir Abdullah realized at once the seriousness of this move by the Wahabis, whose home territory is in the central part of the Arabian peninsula, and did two things; sent a delegation to Saoud to negotiate peace, and informed the Palestin government of the true state of affairs. Mr. I hylby, British representative in Amman, i n i /-si l :t- r> l anu oenerai unaiiu ratna, composing the* delegation to the Wahnbh', were seized by Saoud's followers and ' released only after very strong representations to the Wahabis from Sir 1 Wyndham Deeds, the British acting High Commissioner in Palestine. Saoud is still encamped within a : short distance of Amman. The alleged secret treaty with France is said to have been negotiat- ' ed by a Wahabi named Mohammed Pacha el Osseimi. It involves military and political relations and is ' aimed against Great Britain and her proteges. King Hussein of Hedjaz, King Feisud of Mespotamia and Emir Abdullah of Transjordania. Its clauses have been published here. They set forth, among other things, that the French government recognizes the sovereignty of Ibn Saoud; engages to supply him with money, arms and ammunitios and to suppoit him if he is attacked by the governments of Hedjaz, Mespotamia or Transjordania. In return Saoud engages to counteract any tendency toward the formation of an Arab confederation in the Arabian peninsula under the guidance of Great Britain and to help with troops, in case French soldiers in Syria are attacked | by troops or irregular bands from ( Mespotamia or Transjordania. It will be recalled that Ibn Saoud ^ last year declared war against Hus- ( sein, father of Emir Abdullah, anil ( probably would have captured Mecca had it not been fo rthe timely inter- , vent ion of Great Britain.

I am taking the | liberty of sending you this letter. t In order to secure a passport, one < must meet the following require- j ments: Every woman, who is 21 years ] of age, or who shall become so before i the general election in November, who r is a white Democrat, and who has re- i sided in the state two years prior to ?. the succeeding general election, and t in the club district GO days prior to f the first primary following her offer { to enroll, is qualified to make the journey to the polls. Public school i teachers are exempt from the provis- j ions of this section as to residence, f if they meet the other qualifications t enumerated. c All tickets for the tour must be se- r cured at least one month before the ? date of sail. Ticket offices are now j open until Tuesday, July 5th, and no r person who fails to enroll herself as j a passenger before that time will be j allowed to take the trip. No registra- < tion certificate is required for the oc- <. casion, but it is absolutely essential c that your name be enrolled on the t club book in your district before the t fourth Tuesday in July. Get your l 'ticket' and avoid the rush! Yours verj cordially, e Mrs. Annie Gaims William, t President South Carolira League of t Women Voters. t n A piano tuner at Wabash, Indiana, p tuned a piano at South Bend, Ind., 05 j, miles away, by telephone. The cus- c turner was told by the tuner how to (j change the tension as each note was t sounded into the telephone. T A humane hull fight without bloodshed was recently witnessed in Los Angeles. Instead of sharpl-pointed blades, blunt prods with a glue-coated base were used by the picadors. j1 The adhesive base held the lances against the hide, giving the appearance of reality without hurting the C( animals in the least. m n< A ship 600 miles off the coast of If Washington recently picked up a cr number of grasshoppers more than three inches "orlg.

It is presumed that they came P( from an island in the Pacific Ocean. m ? of The typewriter is the most deadly ds ?f all engines of waifare because it hi ipreads the propaganda that causes or ivar, according to Thomas R. Mar- Fi -hall, former Vive President of the nc United States. wi The President's Proposal With the best Intentions but with ingular lack of courage and with but lim perception of the consequences of ts course, the administration at Vashington has hopelessly befuddled he coal problem. Finn and defiant it Marion on July 4, the President reurns lenign and benevolent to Washngton and on July 10 avers that pubic interest requires that the coal operators grant the demands of the Jnited Mine Workers. There has been 10 parallel to this since the passage >f the Adamson law six years ago. The situation with respect to supaly of coal demands action, not delay. The solution offered by the President s no solution at all. It* can and will mly postpone the day of peaceful resumption of coal mining. In a panic :>ver the coming shortage of coal, the principles at stake are to be compromised. The operators are asked to surrender to the campaign of intimidation, terrorism and massacre that has characterized the union's conduct in this strike. Must this country have coal at such a price? The fundamental issue In this strike is and has been the reduction of union coal-mine labor's wage in conformity with the same principles that prompted its war and post-war time inflation. To prevent such a reduction the United Mine Workers have wielded the big stick of a nationwide strike?they have exerted the full economic pressure of their organization. Hands drippen red from Herrin, Is the union invited to Washington and told that coal production is going to be resumed at whatever mine and by whatever miners choose to work? No. On the contrary, in me most polite, nospitable manner they are invited to go to work at the wage scale that they are striking to maintain. Knowledge and courage command respect. Who, even among the United Mine Workers present on that eventful Thanksgiving eve of 1919 at the Red Cross Building in Washington, but admired the grit, determination and command of himself and his subject exhibited by Dr. Garfield when he told the miners they could have a 14 per cent increase and not the 60 per cent they demanded nor the 31 per cent offered by the secretary of labor! The present emergency calls for another exhibition of indomitable will and clarity of purpose. Apparently 'he operators must this time supply the stamina and take the punishment that attends opposition to the United Mine Workers. They have the brains, they have the perception of the issues to carry through if they but maintain their unity. It is wholly idle to speculate on what might have been. It !s sufficient to note that a week previous the coal operators offered a plan to which they were fully empowered to commit the iiituminous-coal Industry?a plan embracing essentially every point for which the adminjstration had taken a stand. Tile plan offered the miners as i substitute for the Central Competitive Field a new c"ro: ping of districts, [t provided arbitrnti. .1 boards to settle appeals arising iiom tangles in the conferences of c llective bargainrs. This plan was la -king only in not providing a basis for immediate resumption of work. Precedent for determination by an administrative offl er of the government of a proper and suitable wage scale in sucb an emergency was set by Dr. Garfield in 1919. If the administration had a spark of onviction on the economic necessity >f liquidation of post-war peak wages t could have accepted the operators' oncessions coupled with an ultimatum o the union on wages. The data essential for such a determiation are isaccessible now as in 1919. For the operators to agree to Presdent Harding's . proposal would be lot only to surrender on the points or which tliey have taken a stand but o abandon the country to the rapacity >f a strengthened, domineering labor nonopoly. The country has patiently lubjectcd itself to more than three nonths' strike in the coal fields as a accessary travail in the economic adustment of this basic industry. The niblic most assuredly will not approve >fTicial recognition and unnecessary 'ven though temporary perpetuation >f an uneconomic wage scale under onditions that will rapidly elevate he cost of all coal to previous peak evels. The administration has offered the ountry a solution of the coal strike hat is not even peace without vicory, for so ill-considered are its' erms that even though operators and liners be forced into acceptance, coal iroduction can proceed under nothing l-ss than an armed truce. To mine oal under such a plan is but to reconition the contestants for further rouble in 1923.??oal Age.
