PASTOR GORDON
LEAVES SOON
The Rev. M. W. Gordon has been
called by the Baptist church at Spencer,
N. C., and will leave Conway for
"his new field on June 1st.
He has served the First Baptist
church of Copway as its pastor for a
number of years, during which time
he has served faithfully, not only the
congregation of his church, but the
general religious interests of the
town. He has endeared himself to
the peonle of Convvav and there are
many who regrets that he and his
jrnod niust move away to a
new work.
Spencer is one of three towns that
form a sort of cluster or family:
Spencer. Salisbury, and East Spencer.
There are about twenty-five
thousand people in the three towns
and the Spencer church to which he
5s going is the leading church in that
section of North Carolina. It offer?
a great opportunity for usefulness
Dr. Gordon will have a congregatior
r.earlv three times as large as the con
gregation he has been serving here.

KLAN LEADER
UNDER CHARGE
Atlanta, Ga.?A bench warrant for
the arrest of Edward Young Clark,
former imperial wizard pro tern of the
Knights of the Ku Klux Khan has
been issued by Federal District Attorney
Clint Hager, it was announced
at the Federal building.
Clarke failed to appear in the
United States district court here for
trial on the charge, of .tfjsipg the mails
to defraud. The court ordered hi?
bond, amounting to $500 forfeited.
Civil action to recover the amount
of the bond is to be taken at once,
and a bench warrant for Clark has
been issued.
Sidney Smith, member of the firm
of Westmoreland & Smith, attorneys

Tor v,iuiKe. disclaimed Knowieaire 01
the former klansman's whereabouts.
Mr. Smith told the court that he
thought he could produce his client if
a continuance in the case would be
granted.
Counsel for Clark in a statement issued
following the court decision, ordering
the bond to be forfeited, said
that continuance was requested on
two grounds. First, because George
Westmoreland, leading counsel, was
absent from the city. Second, a certificate
was offered the court as to the
condition of Clark's health.
"The doctor's certificate stated explicitly
that Mr. Clarke was absent
at the present time," said Mr. Smith,
"by his direction and because of his
exceedingly nervous and depleted condition.
"There is no fear of the outcome of
the case against Mr. Clarke. Those
familiar with the facts are confident
of his vindication when the case
comes to trial. In view of the stress
to which Mr. Clarke is at present being
subjected, it was deemed not only
wise but necessary to regard the instruction
of his physician and to delay
his going to trial as to such time

ated to withstand the strain," said
Mr. Smith.
The case, according to the indictment,
is an outcome of Clarke's klan
activities. It is alleged that the former
klan official sent out circular letters
to all subordinate officers of the
organization telling that they would
have to be bonded in the sum of $1,000
and that a premium of $5 would
be assessed on each bdnd, which premium
must be sent to him.
The indictment further alleged that
several promiums were sent to Clarke

Dec. 14. 1922.

, The gravity of the crisis confrontj
ing the cotton industry in the United
States cannot be paralleled by any
situation previously facing the growI
ers since cotton was first planted ii
this country more than one hundred
years ago. So long as soil, climatc
and labor were the only necessary requirements
to produce cotton, the
South grew the staple in abundanc<
and each year harvested a surplus beyond
the world's requirements.
The cotton-growing industry in thi:
country is now facing disaster fron
serious curtailment in production be
cause of the ravages of an insect de
structive to the fruitage of the cot
ton plant and which science and tin
practical efforts of the growers seen
powerless to overcome.
The cotton boll weevil first invade*
the southwestern cotton lands o
Texas from Mexico in 1892, and with

cotton .area, reaching now into th
central and northern tiers of cour
ties in North Carolina. The wide
spread destruction of the cotton cro
from this insect for the past two yeai
has been far greater than at any pei
iod in the history of infestation.
In this connection, the statists
carefully gathered by the Unite
States Government give a startlin
^ account of the appalling disasters 1
the crop wrought by the weevils du
' ing the past few years, and to whie
! I invite your very serious attention.

Washington, D. C., Mar. 22.?Chairman
Cordell Hull, of the Democratic
National Committee has appointed
i Mrs. W. A. Freeman to act as a special
representative of the National
Headquarters in organizing a "National
Democratic Victory Club" in
j Conway.
) This is part of a nation-wide plan
of organization, extending into every
' one of the 5.000 larger towns of the
country, and having for its object the
formation of an army of 100,000
Democrats to bring victory in 1924.
Chairman Hull is thus striving, by
intensive work this year, to win the
Presidential election next year .
The plan is for each club president
appointed by Mr. Hull to organize a
club of twenty of the livest Democrat?
in each town, thus giving the National
Chairman 5,000 flying squadrons,
each one composed of twenty dependable
men and women, and each under
a trustworthy captain?broadcasted
