Extrauagant Buying Leads to
Cashing of War Saving Stamps

Between $4,000 and $4,000 worth Of
War Savings stamps have been CASH
ed in through the Richmond postof-
fee during the month Of July, Post
master C. B. Beck said Tuesday A
family of four. in which each member
held the maximum amount, $1,000, in
stamps, has cashed in the entire hold
ing, and so in one week the postoffice
is compelled to pay out $4,000.
Profiteering, which has caused prices
to rise higher than the salary of the
average person, and the general wave
Of extravaganza, are blamed by the
postmaster for the action of many
government security holders.
Prices Increased
There should be more conservative

ticle Of wearing apparel whose price
to the retailer has been increased 50.
The merchant is selling the article at
Sc above it's pre-war price, and persons
are paying the price asked without
questioning.
IF present prices continue, and the
working man and small salaried man
are compelled to pay out all their in.
come for necessities, it means that in
a few years from now we are going
to face an industrial crisis that will
require years to straighten out.
There is plenty of money now, and
everybody has a job. If there should
be slump this winter, and work
become scarce, it would mean that all
the money would be in the hands OF
the banks and the weather. men and
stagnation will result.

slashed with a razor. Major Fred
Haynes was found probably fatally
beaten, presumably by negroes. An
automobile containing Adjutant Cen
eral Dickson was fired on but without
damage to the occupants.
An exodus of negroes to the north
and west sides began as the fight was
at its height Some fifty thousand
more negroes already live in those
parts OF the city and the police took
precautions to stop any resentment
shown by whites at the added popula-
ton of Africans. This hegtra was
stopped at daybreak by the street car

Penned In Homes.
A few whites were penned In their
homes by angry negroes and had to
telephone for police aid to escape.
One family managed to elude the ne
groes by backing their faces and de-
parting in disguise. But aside from
few such instances, persons living in
or near the war zone were unmolest-
ed physically if they remained within
their dominiciles.
TaXicab drivers as news OF the feud
spread refused to take passengers into
the disturbed district and residents
who lived along the car lines that
were stopped had long walks through
the field Of battle. AS far as the po-
! lice could learn these persons suffered
no affronts if they went quietly along
their way.

ter offensives. Most of the white riot
ers were young men and youths with
here and there a man Of mature years.
The police devoted much of their
activity to clearing the streets OF
negroes. and many Of the fatalities
resulted from the recalcitrancy Of the
blacks against the order to dispense.
In one crowd at Thirty-fifth street and
State street, former alderman De-
Priest, a negro, was with a crowd of
blacks ordered to scatter. They re-
fused despite the pleading Of the for
mer alderman and two negro police
sergeants and the officers fired into
the assembly killing four and barely
missing DePriest.
New Negroes Blamed.
A police captain in the black belt
ascribed the trouble to the hoodluism
of negroes who came to Chicago dur
ing the last two years to make up the
shortage in labor caused by the war

LOSS OF $3.50 IN
STANDARD COMPANY
OPERATION SHOWN

Loss of s3,sso.7s is shown in the OPP
Grafton of the Richmond Standard
Manufacturing company, during the
receivership of e. M. Campbell, by
the auditors report, submitted Tues
day to Judge Bond, of the Wayne cir
cult court The report covers the
business done by the company from
August 6, 1918, to May II, 1919, dur
ing which time Mr.. Campbell was re-
ceiver Of the company
According to the auditors state
ment, much difficulty was confronted
in making a complete and intelligent
statement Of the affairs Of the COM
pany, owing to the fact that the in
ventory taken at the time or camp
fields appointment as receiver was
entered on the books of the company
In a lump sum. and the detailed In
ventory was later lost.
Some difference is shown in the
statement made by the auditor and
that made by Campbell on May IT,
1919, as his final report, but this Is
due, according to the statement. to the
fact that that Campfeld's statement
was made from estimates, while the
auditors report was made from actual
amounts shown on the books.
Costs Under Discussion.
Operating costs promise to be
subject Of considerable discussion, as
several items under this head are
questioned by stockholders of the in
solvent company. These include
office expenses. including rent, hire OF
stenographer and the like for Camp
fields office uptown. away from the
factory. The report also shows lumI
sums for expense Of trips to Daytns
and Indianapolis, without giving a de
tailed statement of these expenses.
The present worth of the receiver
ship is given by the report a:
s22.789.49, while its worth in August
1918, at the time Campbell was ap
pointed receiver. was $26,7s0.27. Thu
total assets of the company are giveI
in the report as $25.S21.15 and thu
total liabilities S22.7S9.49
No action has been taken by thu
court on the report of the auditor
and the Judge would not say Tuesda.
whether the report made by Camp
field last May would be accepted o
not, as a result of the audit.

U. s. MACHINERY
 FOR MACEDONIA

Sa1onil<f, May 7.---By Mail.)---Large coneignments of American agricul- turaI machinery have ben unloaded here for use in Macedonia. The motor blows are badly needed on account or the dearth of horses and oxen which the Bulgars carried off with them. In the last six months the American Red Cross has been instructing Greeks and Serbs in the use of modern farm ma chinery and American methods of soil Improvement and now farmers are being given the opportunity to buy implements at advantageous prices. King Alexander of Greece is much interested in American farming ma chinery. Recently a very large con- signment of agricultural machinery and implements arrived in Athens from America The consignment com prised all classes of power machinery and a considerable number of motor blows. King Alexander viewed these blows at the Athens Botanical Gar dens. At his request two or three Of them were set to work in adjacent field, attracting from first to last his special attention. Later these Ameri- can machines and implements were
 exhibited at the zappeion, the large
 exhibition building in Athens used during the war as a hospital. There
 
 mers and the general public. The Greek government shipped a number of these motor blows and other implements to Eastern Macedo- mia and Thessaly to be used for the spring cultivation. In addition thou sands of ordinary American blows are being shipped - into Macedonia To
 pull these blows the Bulgarians finally agreed after much discussion to de- ! liver 7C0 draught animals per week to . the Greeks in recompense for the tens : of thousands of animals taken by the Bulgarian army in Thrace during the
 war.
 | Owing to the fact that farmers throughout the Near East cultivate ] only small tracts, small American ma chinery is in greater demand than the { heavier machines. with the possible exception of harvesters. Only large owners can afford the large blowing tractors.
 | The American Red Cross has brought
 in about 300 American farm wagons and later these wagons and the many small American automobiles now be- ! ing used in the Near East will be sold | to the farmers. The Near East is in ! greatest need of means of transporta- | tion and farming machinery and | Americans are now meeting this de mand.

DANCING CRAZE
 SWEEPS ENGLAND

Dancing has swept English women to their feet. It is real equal rights suffragette dancing, too. For tho English women dance with each other. And the men- Oh, they sit around and look on. Or they don't come at all.
 American Y. M. C. A. secretaries returning via England from war as- signments overseas have brought back the story.
 There is a positive dance craze" says Miss Mary Andersen of IIud- son. Wis. The Y. W. c. A. secretary. Grace Bristow, at the head of London clubs for girls, said it was impossible to get the girls to do much else but dance. And they seemed to pre- fer to dance together. She told of a dance given the night before she sail- ed where men and women were both present and where the men sat around the side lines and tho girls danced with each other. And apparently every one was happy.
 Miss Bristow says 1t is the result of the war. Girls lived, worked and played together fin cantonment and factory communities where they were only girls for so long during the war that they got the habit" says Miss Andersen.
 
 women of England is the summer camp idea. Before the war boys of the wealthier classes wont to summer camps for q military training pro- gram. It was unheard of for grls.
 But the big sisters went to war by the thousands just as the big broth CTS did. So now the little sisters can go to camp. Why not? And camp is not only for the young girl. The bus fness woman, having learned through the war that there were many things she could do as well as a man which she had never before dreamed of, fs going to camp.
 The Y. w. C. A. fs almost swamped in trying to meet this years demands for summer camps.
 "women have learned in four years, what they had not learned fin all the history of England" added Miss An dersen.

SUCCESSFUL PASTEURIZING
PLANT LOCATED AT TARBORO

TarbOro has the distinction of hav-
ing the only pasteurization plant in
the State, and the citizens of that
town are enjoying safe and pasteu-
rized milk, delivered at seventeen
cents per quart, while other towns in
that vicinity are using raw milk at
eighteen or twenty cents per quart.
While the pasteurizing plant is
something new in North Carolina, the
benefits to be derived from pasteu-
rized milk are already we'll known.
It's value as means of saving babies
and preventing milk borne infections,
such as tuberculosis, scarlet fever
and septic sore throat is coming to be
more widely appreciated. The pro-
cess Of obtaining pasteurized milk is
adaptable to any town, and the cost
of installing and operating a plant is
not a prohibitive feature. The install
lation, equipment and delivery facili-
ties Of the Tarbor plant, with ca
pacity for handling $50 quarts per
day, cost S1,5OO.OO, with operating ex-
penses of less than $4,000 per month.
Two men are employed to operate the
plant, one an operator and manager,
and the other as deliveryman. Milk
is purchased at twelve cents and de-
Iivered, pasteu-ized, at seventeen
