THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1922
A tragedy has recently happened
in the community. 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

numbers and unless a vigorous fight

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_

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.
We are also indebted to Misses
Martha Louise and Sarah Margaret
Agror for similar invitation to attend
the exercises of the senior class
of the Lexington high school, at Lexington,
Va., of which these young
ladies are members. It is with genuine
regret that we find ourself unable
to attend either of these occasions.

I admonish you of the larger rcspon

aspirations of men.
"I do not tliir.k that any busines
can permanently succeed that is nc

honesty and honor, that enterpris

unchallenged before the worid."
"There is one fundamental that w
ought never forget. No law can eve
be enacted or any substitute eve
found for the reward of merit. It i
the essence of our social life; it i
fundamental in our religious lif<
And I am quite sure that there ca
be no abiding reward without meri
and I am equally sure that there ca
be but little of merit without prospet
of reward."

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

As you realize, the employment c
teachers is a matter which deserve
the serious consideration of ever
board of trustees. You are now em

important duty in all school business
I know something about the work o
your last teachers. Therefore, I ar
asking that each board of trustee
see me before employing teachers.
