It was quite a while in the developing, and a warning ~ras given, yet the matter was permitted to go on without a finger being raised to avert the inevitable consequences. The result: a young, unsophisticated girl came to an untimely and horrible death a few days ago at a place where she was sent to face the ordeal of childbirth. Her seducer is perhaps seeking other prey. Watch your cotton and fight the boll weevils. They are already attacking the young plants in great numbers and unless a vigorous fight -"J- tha norlir ctaOPOc ftf ID i.UAUC UUUU^ VllV vw ovmqvw w*. ?v plant there will certainly be no fruit. Several reports of the presence of these pests have come to The Record office this week as well as a match box full of the real "bugs" gathered at random on one short row of young cotton. It is quite evident that if there is to be any cotton raised in this section Mr. Farmer must get a lively move on himself. When the executive committee of the Williamsburg . Fair association held its meeting Tuesday and decided that there would be no fair held by the association this fall it was acting uaon its own initiative and not in accordance with the sentiment expressed in the meeting of the stockholders which toook place just bfefore the executive committee meeting. Nearly every stockholder in the meeting not a member of the executive committee, left the meeting with the impression that there would be a fail this fall. And in the light of what took place in the stockholders meeting we fail to understand why the executive committee should act adversely. It was plainly and con_i^? ?1_ f ctusiveiy aecxueu uvi w uia^vsc vi vm association's holdings, that is the grounds and equipment, which was the main object in calling the stockholders together. The association is in debt. It is true that the fair has . \ been held at a loss for the past two seasons, but if we hold no fair at all how are we to get out of debt. It seems Ao us that the time for holding a successful fair was never more favQrfeble than '.this year presents, but if the executive committee, under the circumstances, can decide to discontinue the fair, then why can't it go ahead and decide to sell the property, which would be the feasible thing to do, rather than to sit still and allow the indebtedness to increase. Acknowledged with Thanks. Tiae editor of the County Record acknowledges with grateful thanks a handsomely engraved invitation from Miss Helen Jones Kennedy to attend the commencement exercises of Chicoru College for women. Miss Kennedy is among the'list of graduates and will be awarded a certificate for proficiency in piano music.

To the Trustees of Williamsbur BUSINESS HONESTY URGED BY HARDING PRESIDENT DECLARES GOVERNi MENT WANTS TO AID NATIONS i ?NOT AT AMERICA'S EXPENSE. i ' President Harding, speaking last I week before the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, declared 1 the country "at this very moment is cn the threshold of new era," that business is reviving and the "country i is finding tcelf." i The government, he said, was great; iy interested in restoration of nor1 n-al world bus>ness and economic conditions and there was no disposition or its part to hold aloff from other nations. American industry, however, 1 he said, should net be destroyed to tuild up the commerce of other lands. , The pres;dent declared that there was no one constructive thought in the mind of the administration at the present which took rank over that of a desire to establish firmly and successfully rn American merchant marine. He said he doubted that the World War would have occurred had the United States possessed a merchant marine commen! surate with its commercial importance. I Civilization in Commerce. "If there is any one realization," . he said, "which fires itself more firm; !y than another in the mind of one charged with great responsibility, it , is the conviction that the business life of the Republic is the reflex of all its good fortunes. I think I can venture to say that commerce and civilization go hand in hand, ancl were it not for commerce, there would >-e no civilization. "From the viewpoint of one in au, thority and having ' responsibility comes another consideration. Commerce finds its place in all our considerations. Undoubtedly it had much to do with the bringing about of the World War, and I think I can say just as confidently that it was never once forgotten in the negotiation of peace. It is so inextricably associated with all we do that commerce is always foremost in the life of any people. "We in America?I am sure it is not unseemly to say it?are com mercially a great people, and we ought to be. God blessed us most bountifully in resources. In the citizenship of this Republic is the blend of every people in the world almost, and I like to say I believe we are unexcelled in genius, we are incomparable in cur industry and we have the talent and the determination?the righteous determination?to be commercially one of the foremost nations of the world. "This aspiration to excel is ever an impelling one, because we have learned from our observations of social and civic life that from the great golden stream of commerce flows everything in life worth while. If it were not for this golden stream that comes from exchanges, from productivity and exchanges, there would be little of education, there would be less of art, there would be few of the finer attainments which make life worth while. "While I am speaking very briefly I wish to speak, ladies and gentlemen, for a commerce with a conscience. "If I were to bring only one admonition to you I would like to charge you men and women of influence and responsibility with the task of eliminating from American commerce those who do not have conscience, 1 ' 1 i! 1 ! v/nose conscienceiei;s practices uhiik that criticism which sometimes attends our American activities. "Something has been said, and I think opportunely said that we want a period in America with less government in business and more business in government. If the commerce cf America were always conscientious there never would be a single excuse for government in American business. "There is not an agency in American life which can so quickly put an end to abuses and offenses in American commerce as those who are conspicuous in the leadership of the commerce. "And I beg to remind you that the great World War, like every other war which preceded it, but more notably the great World War, because of its incalculable immensity, has left a state in human affairs quite different from any that ever preceded it. The war would have been a complete waste, it would have been an utter sacrifice of every effort if we did not find the great human procession on a little hicher plane than that which it followed before. And American commerce must keep that in mind, 'lhere never will be a time when you can go back completely to the old order of American industry and exchanges in trade. "I say this because at the very moment v,e are on the threshold of a new era. Undoubtedly there is more than a mere business revival in sight.; Our country is finding itself again.. Wc arc fundamentally n>ht and we do not intend ever to be discouraged for a long tine. "Business is reviving and we arc ' soon to resume our onward sway and % 0 county: As you realize, the employment c teachers is a matter which deserve the serious consideration of ever board of trustees.
