is declared hv authorities who have
studied the question from all angles,
ard these authorities are not mere
theorists. bat men who are actually
,np4cedIn cotton farming. or IL close
touch With the actual condltlolls
which affect the markets for It's sale.
They declare. with one voice, that
less cotton must he raised than IN ne
past wear. that another bumper crop
Viii send the market down To such
4 point that the producers Of cotton
Nil be absolutely overwhelmed.
There is now being presented 10
the farmers who raise cotton the
merits OF the Rock Hill plan, as 4
basis for the reduction cf cotton acre
age. Twenty-Five per cen decrease be
ing asked from all the farmers. with
the additional reQuest that there be
an increase III the nal of acres
used for the raising Of food crops.
The combination eff these two mat
ters. less cotton and more acres in
food crops. is declared to be the Very
mudsill Of the proposition to place
wv q IA q lo'itIotI I :
The trouble in North Carolina. as
in other States. is that where q farnIer
secs into the cultivation Of one crop
as ii money crop. be it cotton or to-
lacco, that he puts al his eggs in
one basket and when there is q
slump in prices he is the heavy loser.
That is a mistaken policy. as has been
demonstrated time and again, and the
lurnt child has Il right to dread the
fire. If dependence on a single crop
hurts, then the only sensible thing to
90 is TO safeguard With other crops
as 4 basis of support.
For years and years this paper has
urged the need Of the Investigation
Of crops, and at the risk Of wearying
by repetition it is again calling at
tcntion TO his matter. The mere mat
ter Of receipts by the railroads show
that in North Carolina we are buving
Tar too much corn and hay and meat.
We are taking the money made on
other crops-Scan at times. at a
minimum in some years and even at
a loss in others-to buy from %produc-
ers IN other States who are wise in
their day and generation in being
ready for 4 market that is created by
absolute lack Of foresight and bv
careleSSneSS Of the worst kind. The
gospel that we preach is for diyersj-
Itatlon OF the crops on the farm and
the raising Of home supplies, and we
again TalSe our voices in warning TO
those farmers who place their only
nope and reliance in a single money
crop. expecting to get from it the
means to buy things that can b.
raised just as We'll at home. If it
We're impossible to raise diversified
crops IN North Carolina. there could
be this excuse, but it is a State Of
vide and possibilities. Fac
ing the conditions and the prices Of
cotton in 1912. the farmers this wear
should present a solid front in the re-
auction Of the cotton acreage the in
crease of the acreage for food croDs
aud the raising. in 50 far as it is pos
slble. OF all needed supplies at home

POSTMASTER IS ARRESTED
F. w. Deuser of Clayton, Mo-, Is Charged With Being $t5s Short
 In His Accounts.

St Louis, Dec. 6.-Frederick w. Deuser, postmaster at Clayton, St, Louis county. was arrested Thursday by United States postoffice inspectors on charge of embeZzlement and was taken before United States Commis- sioner Irvine Mitchell in the federal building.
 The warrant on which Deuser was arrested charges he appropriated $15S on or before December last. It was sworn to by Postoffice Inspector E. l.. Duncan.
 Deuser waived preliminary examina. tion and was held under a bond of $1,500 for the federal grand jury.
 The alleged shortage was the sec, ond found in Deuser's accounts, post. office inspectors said Thursday. Last July an examination of Deuser's books and cash revealed, it was said, dis. crepancy of about $400. Deuser at that time declared the funds were at his home, and he feplaced the cash which was missing, the inspectors said.

NEW CURRENCY BACKS ALIKE
Notes Which Are to Be Smaller Than Present Ones Not Ready
 for Two Years.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Secretary MacVeagh of the treasury department expects to give the order for printing the new notes to Director Ralph of the bureau of engraving and printing about February 15, almost at the end of his administration. It will requre IS months to accomplish the change,
 Secretary MacVeagh engaged Ken yon Cox, an artist of New York, to design the back of the notes, which will be the same for all denomina- tions of all classes of notes-United States notes, coin certificates and na- tional bank notes.
 Cox has submitted to the secretary the general features of the design he contemplates, and these tentatively were approved. This design Is sym bollic of progress and peace, showing the development of the nation in the lines of labor and commerce. The new currency will be two-thirds the size of that now in circulation, its dimen- sions being six by two and one-half inches.

W|CkERSHAM MAKES PLEA
REPORT REVEALS THAT CRIME
 FLOURlSHES IN u. S.
In Annual Statement Asks for More
 Money to Enforce Laws of Government.

Washington, Dec. 6.-White slave convictions, criminal and civil prose cutions under the Sherman law, frauds on the revenue, violations of the national banking laws, the postal laws and miscellaneous crimes dur Ing the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1912, have paid in penalties i'm posed more than enough to support the entire judiciary of the United States, according to the annual report of AttorneyGeneral Wickersham, sub mitted to congress.
 Although the operations of the de- partment of justice, the courts and the governments legal machinery in general cost $2,532, 2,560.23, an increase of $232,6S023 over that of the year which ended June 30, 1911, there ac- tually was collected and paid into the treasury of the United States an az gregate sum of ,749,07015. This reveals the somewhat startling fact that, despite the desperate efforts of the government, crime, vice and ille- gal business have thrived.
 Appeals for More Money.

CONTENTION IS THAT ONE PARTY TO CULM BANK DEAL
 WAS THE PRIME MOVER.
JUDGE WAS SILENT PARTY"
Judge Was to Share in the Profits-Infuence Helped
 Friend Get Option.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Attorneys for Judge Robert w. Archibald of the commerce court, when the senate court of impeachment reconvened, were prepared to attempt to draw rom Edward J. Williams, the first wit ness, evidence that a conspiracy had oeen organized against Judge Arch bald, and that William P. Roland of Scranton was one of its prime movers
 Williams was the associate of Judge Archibald in a deal for an option on he "Katydid" culm dump and the house managers had prepared further questions designed to draw from Will jams admissions that Judge Archibald dad brought pressure to bear on rail road officials to get control of the property.
 The nature of Judge Archbald's de- iense to the first article of impeach- ment has been indicated. The house managers obtained the introduction of an alleged agreement between Will jams and w. H. Roland, whereby Will jams assigned one-third interest in he Katydid option to Roland and an other one-third to silent party" He admitted that this latter designation meant Judge Archibald.
 Attorneys for the judge insisted that the agreement had been concoct- ed in the office of Roland, to injure Archibald and that the latter knew nothing of it, and had never consent ed to be the silent party" in such a deal
 Williams declared Judge Archibald had nothing to do with getting the op- tion further than to act as his friend and recommend him to the officers of the Hillside company. Later, under the questions of Representative Webb of North Carolina, he said Judge Arch bald would have received half of the profits realized from the sale of the property.
 Influence Helped Get Option.
 What did Judge Archibald do for which he was to receive one-half of the profits from the coal dump?" de- manded Representative Webb.
 'It was none of anybodys business if I wished to give it to him." retort- ed Williams.

drastic laws and tnCTedsed authority in the administration of the law. He reviewed the work of the department at great length, and in a most com. prehensive manner revealed the exact status of the nations crime-quashing machinery.
 Among the important recommends tions submitted is placing federal at torneys, assistant attorneys and other officers under the civil service rules. If congress will authorize this, Wick ersham said, it will develop the high. est efficiency in the ranks of the en- ployes.
 "The expense of the year." said Wickersham, fin endeavoring to en- force criminal liability under the Sher- man law has not been encouraging"
 The attorney-general presented a long tabulated list of prosecutions to bear out this assertion.
 Considerable attention is given in the report to the governments efforts to safeguard water rights in the pro- motion of reclamation work. The re- port urges special congressional meas ures for the protection of these pio- neers from possible water famines and the encroachment of land-grab- ping companies.

FALL OF cHlOS AND JANINA lM- MINENT-ALeANlAN CITY
 IS FORWARDED.
PLEADS FOR INTACT LEAGUE
Addresses Allies Just Before Protocol Is Signed Hedging Resources 5000 Turks Are
 Captured.

Vienna. Dec. 6.-Two gunboats were reported to be vigorously bombarding valona, city of Albania. The gun ners aimed their shells especially at public buildings, displaying the Al hania flag despite the protests of Is- mail Kemail Bey, provisional presi- dent of Albania.
 This action on the part of Greece made military experts believe that the plenipotentiaries of King George were sincere in their refusal to sign the protocol for an armistice at Baght- che and that Greece meant to carry on active warfare single-handed.
 The Greek government Saturday ad. dressed an appeal to the governments of the allies beseeching them to taks no action calculated to weaken or en danger the league.
 Greece Pleaded for Intact League.
 At the same time Greece offered all her naval and military resources in case Turkey declined to accept terms less damaging to what Greece regard ed as the allies best interests. It is understood that this appeal forms an important historical document, which will show that Greece, far from hay ing any intention to break away from the league, made the strongest efforts to maintain it in its original form.
 The fall of Chios and Janina Is i'm minent, and that Greece will sign the armistice protocol immediately after ward, according to Constantinople dispatch.
