CONGRESSMAN CRISP TELLS OF
PARTY's PROGRESS IN SPEECH
ACCEPTING THE NOMINATION
Continued From Page -

tional relations by our great president
Woodrow Wilson, we have not become
involved in the carnage, but today We
are at peace, and we are the most pow
erful and richest country in the worlG.
| fervently hope that, by the grace OF
God, it may be our province in the
near future to be the mediator to
restore peace and brotherly love
throughout the world President Will
son not only has handled our foreign
affairs with signal ability, but has also
guided our domestic affairs with equal
sagacity. To him alone is due the
credit of, settling the conditions be-
tween the railroads and their en-
ployees, thus averting a strike which
would have upset business, destroyed
commerce, and caused untold suffering
to our people. We have had many
great presidents, but in my judgment
when impartial historians shall write
up the achievements of the Wilson adj
ministration, they will proclaim him
the greatest of American presidents.
Gentlemen of the convention, as DEM
ocrats We all have a right to be proud
of the achievements of our party To
have been your representative at
Washington at this important period
in our history is an honor l shall ever
cherish. | served you to the best of
my ability, and / cannot find words to
express to you the emotions, feel to-
ward you and the people of the dis
trict you represent, for their recent
vote of confidence in me. God has
blessed me with the best friends man
ever had. 1t was through their devo-
ton, their loyalty and intelligent eff
forts that l won such a complete vic
tory on September 18th. My success
is due to my friends, and to every one
of them l owe debt of gratitude
can never repay. With heart over
flowing with love and gratitude, | ac-
cept the nomination for congressman,
which you have, in obedience to the
will of the people, just conferred upon
me. l treasure animosity toward no
one, but God being my helper, l shall
earnestly endeayor to make all the
people of the district the best con-
gresham 1 am capable of making.
Looking into your dear faces, You
friends, who contributed so largely to
my success, 1 extend heartfelt thanks.
My gratitude is too deep and profound
for words, so l can only say: God
bless you. l love you all"

BOisterOus Negro Arrested.

RALEIGH, N. c., Sept. William
Mallette, negro, was arrested here
today by secret service men, accom-
panying President Wilson's special
train. The negro acted in a threaten
ing manner and attempted to board
the presidents private car when taken
into custody. When searched at the
station Mallette had in his pockets a
ticket to Washington, and stated that
he had missed the regular train, CIV
ing this is an excuse for attempting
to board the presidents special. He
was locked up on charge of being
drunk and disorderly. President VIII
son was not informed of the arrest.
Mallette, after a hearing before the
recorder, was sentenced this afternoon
to serve thirty days upon the county

 1 Mir. Horner's first interview with Miss Proctor was just as interesting as her appearance will be here on ghe Chautauqua this summer. When he showed her one or two of the circu- lars that he had of companies re- gently organized, Miss Proctor's only remark was What rotten costumes" 1" He asked her if she could improve them and she said she could and told him how. And she has been doing it ever since. Not only has she been telling the members of these com panies how to get and wear their cos tunes but she has been drawing on her education and experience in show ling them how to do a lot of other things well. All of her knowledge and ingenuity is wrapped up in the work that will be done this summer right here on our own Chautauqua.

PRODUCTION TALC AND SOAPSTONE IN 1915
 BREAKS RECORD

The United States has long been the leading nation in the production ot tale and soapstone, and it's produc uon of late is increasing. The output of tale for 1915 was 166,336 short tons, valued at $1,401, ,197, and of Soapstone 20,555 short tons, valued at s490,3S5, according to J. s. Diller, of the U. s. Geological Survey.
 The best grades of tale, which are used in the manufacture of pencils, erayons and gas tips, as we'll as of toilet powder, though found in North Narolna and Georgia, are not sup phed there in sufficient abundance to meet fully the American demand.
 Tale is most extensively used for making paper, paints and lubricants, ana the bulk of the supply comes from New York and Vermont. Pennsyl- pania, New Jersey, and the Southern 9tates contribute largely to the tale used In the manufacture of toilet powders, paints, soaps and lubricants, ana Tn the rubber trade as we'll as in hnlshing leather. Tale of the lowest grades, much of it discolored, is used TOT foundry facings in casting iron. it IS soft and slippery and is widely used to diminish friction.

BETTER PROGRESS IN FARMING

Warm weather has arrived tardily in the Southwest and plants are now growing rapidly. The prospects for crops seemed discouraging on account of excessive rains in many places a week or two ago. But there has been a great improvement recently, since warm, fair weather began.
 Spring oats have made great inn provement during the last three weeks. Fields that were slow to make a start now promise an excel lent yield and harvest time is near.
 Most farmers are still contending with weeds because of the recent rains. But crops are growing and great progress is being made in cul- tiyaton. Late crops are to be plant cd and it is believed more stubble fields will be turned early than for many years.
 The conservative manner in which trading has been done and the in- crease in food and feed crops planted this year has greatly improved the financial condition of the Southwest. Business of all kinds has been un- usually good; banks have larger de- posits than for years; merchants are prosperous; workmen employed at goo wages.
 Crop diversifcation has held the cotton acreage down, it is believed, to safe farming. Since cash buying has been the general rule farmers are most sure to be prosperous. Their cash will soon be coming in for wheat, oats, hay, fruits, etc. Prices for live stock are unusually good; dairy pro- ducts, poultry products and vegetables on most markets have sold well, con- Sldering the fact that more of these products have been raised than usual.
 The future is bright for farmers. Whether the war drags heavily on or peace comes soon farmers will pros per. Most of them are prepared.
