GREENWOOD WEATHER.

The people Of the, Southwest are
not the only ones who walked up shiy-
ering this morning, though the wealth
er in Greenwood is not quite as cool
as reported in the above Associated
Press dispatch.
The sun managed to drive away the
clouds that had hung over Greenwood
for several days and yesterday shined
in full glory over the city. The tenn
perature made no decided change un-
til about ten o'clock when a strong
wind sprung up in the north and whip
ped around the house corners and
down the chimneys, making windows
and doors rattle with the announce
ment of approaching winter. The
weather changed, Immediately and
this morning fires were in evidence in
practically every home and in many
of the places of business.
Soon after the first chilling gust of
wind from the north last night large
flocks of wild geese were heard pass
ing over the city in their fight south
ward, sure sign that time to don
heavier clothing has arrived.

DAILY COTTON LETTER.

New Orleans, Oct. 20.-A cold wave
dipped into the cotton belt and estab-
lished killing frost temperatures over
practically the entire northwestern
quarter of the belt with light to heavy
frost over northeast Texas. There
was no precipitation over the western
states. No frost reported elsewhere,
and temperatures continue in the six
ties over the eastern states! Light
scattered rains fell in central por-
tion and some heavy rains over At
lantic coast. Indications are for fair
and warmer western, clearing and
cooler central and eastern states, but
no damaging frosts likely. While all
further crop development is stopped
in the northwestern quarter Of the
cotton belt and some late crops may
be cut of, the fact that there has not
been any check to vegetation up to
now means that q good deal Of late
crop has been made and advices from
Oklahoma state that dry cold weather
Is welcomed to open bolls. Liverpool

wonderful increase attests the great
growth in Greenwood's business.
Greenwood has been the leading cot
ton market in the state for years and
is fast being recognized as the best,
business center in Mississippi. New
concerns are daily coming to Green
wood, swelling the population Of the
city and it's payroll. .
There are towns of the same size
of Greenwood that would feel proud
of a weekly bank clearing the size Of
the increase in this weeks clearings
over that Of last week, $169, 1000.
Such bank clearings published to

STORE BREAKERS
BUSY LAST NIGHT
Entered Store of Edgar Schweig on
Main Street-TOOk Piece of
Meat and Sack Meal.

The store of Mr.. Edgar Schweig, in
the Attlesey building, on Main street,
was broken into last night and robbed.
Entrance was made by breaking the
glass in side door. A large piece of
middling meat and sack of meal was
all that was taken.
The act was evidently done by some
one driven to it by hunger, in view of
the fact that such a small quantity
was taken. So far as damage is con-
cerned, Mr.. Schweig suffered more
loss from the broken door than from
the lost goods.

in the bearing on labor.
Syndicalism, said the report, would
net have developed in this country
had organized capital and organized
labor been disposed to give the "man
furthest down" fair chance On this
point the report said:
ut is precisely because the lowest
grades of labor, the least skilled and
the least literate workers, recruited as
they are largely from our newer
Americans, have been exploited by
manufacturers and comparatively
neglected by the trade unions that
syndicalism has developed"
In treating Of the welfare work the
report said that the workers in this
country have not been slow to recog-
nize the motive which is at the base
OF much welfare work, and have been
prompt to repudiate charity intended
as a substitute for strict justice.
Unemployment receives special con-
siderat:on in the report which stated
that the situation has been materially
improved by reason Of the temporary
cessation of immigration and tie sup
ply Of cheap labor on one hand, and
of the speeding up of the native in
dlstrial process on the other to sup
ply munitions Of war to Europe. De-
spite this, the report said, the ques-
ton Of unemployment has received
only temporary answer.
Importance Of cooperation Of the
church in social service was urged,
the report insisting on the necessity
of church inspiration in the movement
to ameliorate sufferings Of mankind.
There would be great value, IL was
urged, in system by (which men and
women would be trained for special
service under rarish and Sunday
school auspices and by which instruc-
ton in social service would be given
to theological students. Failure was
predicted for any social service move
ment that proceeded without : foun-

REVISE PRESENT
SOCIAL SCHEME
Reconstruction of Plan Necessary to
Abolish Poverty Says Episco-
pal Commission. F
(By Associated Press.)

St. Louis, Oct. 2O.-Need of an ul-
innate reconstruction of the entire So
cial scheme and order properly to
abolish poverty, was urged by the
Joint Commission on Social Service of
the Protestant Episcopal church in a
report to the triennial general con-
vention of the church here today.
Housing conditions, recreation, vice
and crime were set forth as factors
that must be considered in any pro-
gram Of relief.
Signs are apparent, according to the
report, that employers and capital
lists are uniting more closely to resist
further assaults by organized labor.
It is apparent, however, the report
added, that policy Of repression will
no more put down industrial wars
than a similar policy would control
small pox or other epidemics.
The report considered trade union
ism in detail and said that strikes,
lockouts and industrial disputes re-
suit from efforts Of labor to make the
best terms possible with the employ
ers under the present capitalistic sys-
tenn, which, said the report, the trade
unionist accepted as the basis of in
dustrial life.
In recent years, continued the re-
port, the trade union movement has
been discredited in the eyes Of many,
by its apparent increasing tendency to
violence. A common criticism Of the
union labor movement, 1t WAS stated,
Il that it, leaders abuse their power
and play petty politics.
Among other subjects bearing on
labor, the report considered the open
against the closed shop; the allegedly
reactionary character Of contempor-
ory trade unions d the employers view
point and socialism and syndicalism
