heard from every state in the south
and I am satisfied that these reports
make mountains out OF mole nils.
Wherever a thing of this kind occurs,
It is Immediately magnified thousand
fold and spread broadcast. If any
thing of this kind has taken place 1t
is to be attributed entirely to ire
sponsible law-breakers. The Farmers
Union has put itself squarely on record
as frowning down upon such lawless
proceedings and the rank and file OF
our organization will tolerate nothing
Of the kind"
Charlotte Observer: Too bad
about William January Who doesn't
remember the fuss made less than
year ago over the man who, after es-
GAPING from the Federal penitentiary at
Leayenworth, Kan, and living a model
life for years, had been discovered and
rearrested? He had established hap
DIV home, with wife and baby, and 1t
seemed unspeakably hard that he should
an old crime. The people Of Kansas
City where January was highly res
pected business man of the minor Sort
vented loud denunciations upon the
head of Attorney General Bonaparte
for recommending that the escaped pris-
oner be made to serve three months
more as an example. More than one
magazine printed special articles de-
scriptive of the hero and his expert
ence. But now, alas! January has
been found running a gambling joint
and the police are looking for him in
vain. Unlike his prototype, this new
Jean Vatican spoiled the story. Too
bad indeed.
Charlotte Observer: The selection
and acceptance Of Hermann Ridder,
publisher Of the New York Stats
Zietung, as Democratic campaign
treasurer is bound to please very great
" all who desire Democratic success IN
this election. Mr.. Ridder, since Carl
Schurz's death, might be termed the
most influential man among Americans
of German nativity. For this reason,
but still more because he stands for
the best in American life and COM
mands universal esteem, his official
connection with the campaign will be
a source Of great strength. Here is
man of solid character, ability and
achievement-the extreme anti-type or
the shady promoter who was unhappi-
ly chosen at first and whom he sue
ceeds. If without the Haskell episode
he would not have been found in the
forefront, the party may we'll be said
to have received more good than harm
thereby. The new campaign treasurer
known, moreover, as a leading conser-
vative Democrat, his appointment and
acceptance will place the final seal Of
assurance upon effective party reunion.
We congratulate the party and view
the outlook with increased hopefulness
and cheer.
Charlotte Observer, September %:
God has built His universe on a
principle which brings things to the
light. There Is never a wrong COM
mitted anywhere that God has not got
His witnesses on hand, ready to be
subpoenaed when He wants them.
Society owes its protection to whole
some publicity. We sometimes hear
complaints Of extreme publicity given
by the press, but this function Of the
papers in its perfect form is be-
nignant one. Society today is safer
and cleaner because Of the myriads Of
eyes of the press that are daily search
ing 1t through and through" EXpound-
ing the law Of moral exposure as an
inherent principle as inevitable In Its
operations in the moral realm as is the
law Of gravity in the world Of nature,
Rev. DR.. w. NJ. Kincaid, preaching last
night at the First Presbyterian church,
so declared himself The sermon, which
gained it's special appropriateness from
recent disclosures Of alleged double
dealing in political life, was in the ma
ture of warning on which was partly
based an appeal to young men to steer
clear Of the paths where evil turks. An
optimistic conclusion was also drawn
at the close from the fact that by ex-
posure does God protect society and
from the reassuringly small proportion
of glaring exposures to that Of the mil
lions who live honest lives in the light
- Jackson, Miss, September %: Oil
mill managers in Mississippi have been
forced to the conclusion that the cot
ton holding movement also includes the
cotton seed crop. According to state
ments obtained from mill managers, Of
ferings have been very light during the
past ten days and on Wednesday the
four mills in Jackson advanced prices
to S13 per ton for seed f. o. b. at sta
ton and $14 per ton for mill deliveries.
Whether this advance Of 81 per ton will
serve as an incentive to the marketing
Of the crop remains to be seen. Since
the opening of the season mills have
been running chiefly on seed ginned
from distress cotton" Offerings from
large planters have been exceedingly
light. and there is evidently we'll set
tied conclusion among the farmers that
seed is going higher and they will hold
for the rise. The quality Of seed has
shown marked improvement during the
past two weeks. Early ginnings were
deficient in oil, but offerings now COM
ing in are Of very good quality. The
mill managers decline to venture pre-
dictions as to the future trend of the
market, but with the cotton crop un-
doubtedly no larger than last year, it
looks like good Judgment on the part Of
the farmers to hold seed for an ad-
vance in prices. All mills in the state
are now running on full time and a
majority of them are working night
shifts.
New York, September 26: Accord
