give some concession to children who
are needed at home for one or two
weeks to pick cotton, The law allows
us to give these children half of the
day TO pick cotton. Have school to
open early In the morning, say eight
O'Clock or earlier. do what you can
for those who are needed to work on
the farm. then excuse them to go
home and pick cotton. Keep these
children no longer than twelve
o'clock. For the children who are not
needed at home so badly, school may
continue for the rest of the day.
We wish to ask the parents to meet

RIDDLE AND LEE WORKING
FOR LARGER WATER SUPPLY

hVthahus poh TfrStnt source 10 De
Made by Additional Sewer Lines
Would Overtax IL. and Town Must
Have More Water.
The proposed extension of the sew
er lines mean that water coRsump-
ton in Monroe will be almost doubled
and Mr.. C. W Lee. city engineer, and
Mr.. L. l.. Riddle. secretary of the
Chamber OF Commerce. have taken
up the matter with the United States
Geographical Survey in an effort to
find some means of increasing the
supply. After making cursory in
vestigation of conditions, the Survey
recommended that a number of shall
low wells be sunk at different points
in the city as the only solution to the
problem.
The letter from this department.
in answer to Mr.. Lee and Mr.. Riddles
request for advice. reads:
According to the geologic map OF
North Carolina, published as plate Is,
page lie of bulletin 426. copy of
which | am sending YOU under sepa-
rate cover. the vicinity OF Monroe is
underlain by metamorphic slate and
schist. with some included volcanic
rocks. This accords with Mr.. Lees
statement that your wells penetrated
slate. There is no prospect of strik
ing a better water-bearing formation
below this slate. and the prospects of
getting any considerable supply by
drilling deeper than you have already
drilled are very poor. The usual ad
vice given by the Geological Survey
for developing water in slate or other
metamorphic rocks is TO sink wells
not deeper than 800 feet. On the ba-
sis of the information given by Mr..
Lee. il is probably not advisable TO
drill even to this depth.
1T would seem that you have good
prospects for increasing your water
supply by drilling additional 6-inch
wells to moderate depths. 1t is diff
ficult matter. in formation OF this
kind. to predict from surface indica-
tons the localities where wells with
the largest yields can be obtained,
However. in order to obtain as much
water as you require. il is advisable
not to drill the wells too close togeth-
err. in order that they will not inter-
fere too seriously with each other.
Thus il may be advisable to sink the
new wells in a different locality than
that in which your present wells are
situated. even though this will IN
yolye some additional cost for in
I..Nllntion and nneratiOn"

BECKETT SAYS REMEMBER
HORSE THAT PULLED PLOW

Cotton Association Has Done Won
derful Work for the south. and the
Governor Urges All Farmers to
Join IL.
Remember the horse that pulled
the pillow" is the heading of a procla-
nation issued by Governor T. W.
Beckett to-day in behalf of the Amer
lean Cotton Association drive, which
will be held in this State November
10th TO 18th. The proclamation fol-
lows:
When folks are sick and all things
go awry.
God and the doctor is the cry.
when folks are well and all things
righted,
Gods forgot. and the doctor is
sighted.
These homely lines explain the
apparent apathy of some of ourpeople
in regard to the American Cotton
Association. When the Association
was formed the cotton market was
desperately sick. and there was the
widest enthusiasm for the Associa-
ton The condition of the cotton
market is tremendously improved;
indeed. il is approaching robust
strength. and there has been con-
sequent loss of interest in the doe
tor
"The Association has done a monu-
mental service to all the people OF
the cotton States and II would be a
tragic blunder to allow 1t to go into
decline.
more than any other agency the
Association demonstrated 10 BUYERS
from every nation at the world cotton
conference that the farmer has not
been getting a fair price for his pro-
duct. SO impressed were the spinners
from England with the facts furnish
ed BY the Cotton Association that
they openly said that they did not
desire TO buy cotton produced under
the conditions that they have hereto
fore obtained in the cotton States.
The spinners urged the farmers to CO.
operate in the matter of production
of bailing. housing. selling and
transporting their cotton. These are
Fffre definite aims of the Association
and the success of all these under
takings will inure to the benefit of
the farmer. the merchant, the banker,
and the consumer of cotton goods.
THE Association makes no appeal
to class feeling or class prejudice, but
urges all our people to join the
Association and cooperate in making
our royal staple blessing to all the
people. from producer to consumer.
From November 10th to 18th
1919, inclusive a drive for member
ship will be made in North Carolina.
During that week I urge our people
of every class and condition to join
this Association. Give heed TO the
admonition of Governor Vance and

Allegations made to the states at

Senator Hitchcock said if resolutions

would settle the fight so far as the

Republicans could secure adoption OF

senate sat in the committee of tbs

"Our intention then the senator
