OPERATORS CRAWHSH
Miners Agree to Proposed Raise
Government Will Operate
Coal Short

The officers of Miners unions
accepted the administration fig
ures for raise in wages this week
and were ready to go to work
but mine owners would not agree
and another deadlock is on and
coal short everywhere. Many
factories, shops and other big in
stitutions have been forced to
close and thousands of workmen
thrown out of work. Electric
light plants have shut down and
chaos will soon reign if the prob
lem of coal is not speedily solv-
ed. The miners asked for about
.60 per cent increase and the tuel
administrator suggested 81 per
cent increase which the miners
accepted but nothing doing ex-
cept in a small way.
Kansas proposes to take over
mines and operate and other
states contemplate the same
move if the government cannot
afford relief.

Negro Holdups to Pen

Thursday of last week Sheriff
Hurt took the three negroes who
we're accused of holding up and
beating a farmer named Thomp-
son and who lived near Moperly
to Moberly for trial.
Two of them were sentenced
to ten years each in the peniten-
tiary and one was given two
years, the fourth one in the es-
capade having been shot and kill
ed at Moberly in his effort to get
away from yigilantes.
Sheriff Hurt did not feel so
comfortable with the negroes in
his charge either at the Jail
where the sheriff of Randolph
county had hustled them after
the capture Of the three which
escaped from the mob, or when
he had to deliver them to the
court at Moberly, but the hiding
place of the culprits was not
learned by the neighbors of
Thompson who were searching
the country for them nor the
day Sheriff Hurt was to hand
them over again to the Randolph
Sheriff. so he got thru without
any Experiences" further than
ap2rehensions.

CROP CONDITIONS
Wheat In First Class Condition
Corn Gathering General
Market Brisk

While there was perhaps not
more than one half as much
wheat sown this fall as last in
this county, the appearance of
the wheat everywhere is fine
and tho some of the fields are
not covered by the wheat, no
fear but thatall of the crop is
large enough to stand an ordi-
nary winter.
Everywhere corn is being gath.
cred. AS a general thing but
one woman can be seen in the
fields because there is only one
available. Scarcity of pickers
is felt and farmers are having
to gather for themselves in a
great measure. The price bere
is 81. 25 and that seems to be the
price over the county generally
for quality sales. The yield is
good, ranging from 40 bushels
to S2a so far as we have been
able to hear. Dave Tudor near
Shannondale is the man who
picked 824 bushels to the acre
from his corn field so far as he
has gathered. We heard that
one field in The Bowling Green
would make something more than
100 bushels to the acre but this
report has not been. confirmed.
Any way, number of farmers
are getting better than 60 BUSH
els and good corn at that. Yes,
Corn is King.

American Consul In Mexican Pen
No Reply To Note
Court Trouble

Some time ago Mexican ban

The United States demanded that
Mexico pay the amount for re.
lease of jenkins and he was re.

by the Mexican government
charged with collusion with the
bandits and thrown into the pani-
Tertiary at Pueblo pending triaN
on the charge. Jenkins is very
weak from exposure while helC

and the United States sent a note
to the Carranza government de.
manding his release from prison.
No attention has been paid t.
the demand and the cabinet i:

cussed the situation Tuesday but
as usual, did nothing to justify
the reports in the metropolitan
press of strained Relationship

Capt. John Henry White

The subject of this sketch was
one of the picturesque citizens of
the county since 1875 in which
year he came from Virginia
Accomac county where he was
born March 2l, 1888.
Captain White was a COM
manding parsonage, of that
make up generally which COM
bined will power, energy and
manliness. Possessed of an ex-
traordinary understanding of
human character, we'll versed in
the history of his country and in
domitable in his purposes, he was
a man with as big and sympathet-
ic heart as a friend or deserving
man could wish to appeal to.
For years he resided in the By
numville neighborhood on a farm
which he improved, but a few
years ago retired from farming
and spent his remaining days in
travelling and visiting old scenes
and among his children until TAX
ing up his residence here about
a year ago, Failing health kept
him about home for several
months but his interest in cur
rent events and old time matters
never abated. When country
fairs we're events in this and
neighboring counties, Capt.
White was always on hand with
some good stock and no one ever
enjoyed a good horse race more
than the captain and he had
winners almost every where he
entered his thoroughbreds.
Dec. Is, 1865 Captain White
and Miss Mary E. Ragland were
united in marriage at Richmond,
Va. and surviving him are his
widow, daughters, Mrs. o. P.
Ray of this city, Mrs. S. C. Laird

Okemah. Okla, Henry of Rock.

Sioux, Ia, Nat of Kansas City

Miles City, Mont.
Capt. White served in the
confederate army for four years
and during the last year of the
war was in command of the 46th
Virginia. Like many veterans
of the same army, he retained
convictions held when he shoul-
dered arms in the lost cause and
his allegiance to Democracy was
answering.

Char. Glrl Celebrity

and p0llClcal Dr0tnerS ana SISTERS
of one of our Charlton county
young women, out all others in
the county will rejoice at the
high preferment bestowed on
Miss Alma Sassee of Brunswick,
daughter of Hon. and Mrs. F. G.
Sassee. Miss Sassee is chair
man of The Women's State Re-.
publican committee and one of
the principal speakers at big
Republican functions all over the
east as we'll as in her native.
A short time ago Miss Sassee's
picture appeared in The Globe
Democrat among other notables
of the nation, and we unhesitat.
ingly say that she was the most
distinguished appearing woman
of the lot. In her addresses,
often printed in full by metro
politan papers, Miss Sassee shows
a wonderful acquaintance with
the history of the country as
we'll as with the creditable his
tory of her party. Some few
historical facts she will be par
doned for not remembering or at
not referring to in her public
addresses, another indication
that she is pretty well up on poll
tics, but she is equipped to meet
all slings and arrows shot at her
party which are not from the
bow of history and hurled by an
experienced campaigner.
If Miss Sassee were only affi-
lated with the Democracy of
her county and state, but, not
being, it is up to scme young
democrat among the women OF
the party in the county to quail
fly and go on the war path after
the popular and effective young
woman's political scalp or there
may be proselyting wholesale
and slumping of Democratic ma
Ijorities hereabouts when womeT
vote.
Miss Sasse has undertaken tt
rebuke Mrs. Antoinette Funk
director of education for the
Democratic National Committee
for Mrs. Funk's statement re-
Gently in st. Louis that the finan
ces of the nation were about de
pleted at the end of the Harrison
administration. If Mrs. FunE
accepts the advice of Miss Sasset
and looks up history on the sub
ject over which the disagreement
exists, it is likely that Mrs. Funl
will amend her statement in re
specC of the exact date, but th'
ball has opened and partners arr
women only so let the men no
butt in.
1t is gratifying to note tn
rise in public life of any on,
from the county, especially whel
that one possesses gifts which at
tract the nation on short notice
and we congratulate Miss Sasse'
on having attained a place amoni
those at the top of her party
Wesincerely trust that there will
be some young Democrat amonI
our women voters to be, ant
then not to be, who will challen
ge Miss Sassee for equal honors

Farm Bureau Notes
By Sam Jordan

What Do You Think About IT,
| mean the corn show of 1920.
Can We pay 100000 in premiums
hire a band, secure fine speakers
for a big program and sell corn
for less per ear or bushel than
in the past?
Try to answer these questions
for yourself. Don't you say it
eau be dons? | do, and let me
tell YOU how, presently. If fine
seed corn could be placed on 500
more farms in the county than
are now growing 1t, do you think
il would paw?
Do not stop to argue about the
fine virtues of scrub corn. II
just wastes time. Are you will.
ing to do justa little toward the
work Of putting more good seed
on the farms of this county, es-
pecially if you gain by it? Looks
like foolish question, but will
you do it?
Here is the scheme as it now
appears to me. | am going to
ask every member of the bureau
and as many others as will, to
agree to enter a bushel of good
corn, and to secure at least one
other person to do the same. If
he cannot enter the corn just
chip in" the price of a bushel.
Suppose we can thus get 500
bushels of good seed, and it
Should sell at an average of $500
a bushel, this would give enough
money to pay all expenses, and
pay in premiums $2000.00.
/ Wecould make a wide premium
list opening to the world, with
some good prizes and a long list
for the county.
But what good would it do the
county? 1t would put high class
seed corn on more farms and
help to advertise the county as
putting on the biggest show, anC
as seed corn growing county.
But what good would it dc
the man who enters corn? Ii
would make it possible for him
to win as much or more than il
cost him, but that is not where
his gain would be greatest.
He would find that in getting
his bushel he would haue to pick
out big lot of his best corn,
and all but the bushel could be
used as his next seasons seed.
The big lot of fine seed selected
early would be the biggest aver.
age gain.
If you do not have seed good
enough from which to grow some
fine corn, would it not pay you
to get busy early?
| may not be on earth nor ir
Charlton county next year, but
that does not matter. Somebody
who grows corn will still be here
and | am trying to stert the 1921
corn show now, by getting youl
help. and when we all line W
ready to do our duty, the effor
will not be great for anybody
and we can make a great winn'
ing for our county. You will b.
asked by and by. either in per
son by some one, or through thu
press or by letter, and l an
speaking of it now, that all MAJ
!. have time to think it over, ant
!. be ready to act when the tim'
comes.
