STREET PAVING
CEMENT ARRIVES
Contractor Now Waiting on Telephone
COnduits to De Completed.

Who is to blame for the delay in
the street paving work?
That is the question lots of people
are asking, and lots of them are TAX
ing it upon themselves to place the
blame too.
Some put it on the co tractor, some
on the street railway company, and
some on the city officials and all of
these put it on each other.
Some have explained that they are
waiting for the cement to arrive.
Now the cement is here and Mr.. H.
C. Terry, the contractor, says he is
waiting for the telephone company to
complete its work of laying conduits
and marholes.
The cement came through soonor
than it was expected and now it is
ready to be laid down, and the work
will proceed just as soon as the tele-
phone company completes its conduit
work.
Along the north side of the two
west blocks of Main will be laid first
Mr.. Terry states thet it will require
only two or three days to put down
a block Of paving now that all the
grading has been completed.
But Monday the blame for delay
shifted to Jupiter Pluvius. 1t raincd
in a steady downpour all day Mon
dsy and this held up all work on the
streets and means serious delay in
the whole project.

SOME COTTON.

Pine Bluff, Ark, One dollar a
pound for a bale of good middling
one and one-half inch cotton was re-
ceived today by w. G, Key from
Chas. G. Wall & Co.,
TIL manner in which the bale was
ginned and handled was the factor
in the big price. Wall & Co. say they
have bought one hundred bales in the
last few days at prices averaging
85 cents. This was good and strict
middling fiye-sixteenths and one
half staple and better.

ULTIMATUM TO
STRIKERS ISSUED
ATTORNEY GENERAL PAL
MER WARNS MINERS LAW
WILL BE UPHELD.
FIGHT TO THE END
Majesty Of The Law Will Be
Upheld At All Costs,
Attorney General
Says.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. TO-
No agreement has been reached by
officials of the United Mine Workers
of America, in conference here to-
day to consider the order Of the
federal court Saturday to call off
the strike of coal miners, when they
adjourned at 6 o'clock this evening.
Delegates said no vote had beon
taken.
The union heads, who include in
tarnational officers, district presi-
dents and members of the executive
board ard ssala committee, resumed
their deliberations at 1880 o'clock to-
night, but it was the general belief
that no formal action would be taken
before tomorrow. In view of the
provision Of the court order Instruct
ing the miners chiefs to present to
The court for approval their order
withdrawing the strike call of Oct.
Is within 72 hours, it was predicted
tonight that no announcement would
be made by the miners before the ex-
piration Of that time. The court or
der was signed at 1925 p. m. Sat
urday, therefore the union officials
must report to the court by that
time tomorrow.
WASHINGTON, Nov, TO- Solemn
warning was given the United Mine
Workers Of America tonight by Attor-
ney General Palmer that resolutions
Of conventions and orders Of officers
of organizations are not above the
law.
Formal and final declaration Of the
governments policy of dealing with
the coal strike was announced by the
attorney general, while officers Of the
miners organization at Indianapolis
were struggling with the question Of
how to answer the courts blunt and
peremptory demand TO rescend the
strike order.
Describing the strike as a plain
violation of federal statute, Mr.. Pal
mer, speaking with full authority of
the government, announced that all
the power Of the United States would
be exerted TO enforce the mandate
of the court.
Fight to tn. Fad
Although no reference was made in
the attorney generals statement to
the pronouncing of, organized labor
supporting the miners and demanding
withdrawal of Injunction proceedings,
it was evident that Mr.. Palmer had
that document in mind, and official
Washington accepted his declaration
to mean that refusal of the miners to
cancel their strike order would mean
fight to the bitter end

) TO ABOLISH STRIKES

One class of workmen in this coun-
try who have the most exacting and
laborious tasks, that statistics would
doubtless show/shorten life and make
men prematurely old. are the iron
These men who make
stoves and other similar moulden ar
ticles annually hold conventions-t the
moulders and their employees meet
together and discuss relations as to
working conditions, wages, hours of
labor and all matters that affect the
stove founders all over the country
The fact that these annual conven-
tions have been held regularly for the
past twenty-nine years and that there
has never been a strike or lockout in
all that time by the moulders or their
employers speaks volumes in favor
of this class of labor and of the men
who own the great stove plants. If
these men can work in such harmony
and such contentment why cannot
capital and labor in other organiza-
tions do as well?
When these moulders have grew
cnces they present their conception
Of what is due them and the matter
is discussed as man to man and some
times by compromises, sometimes by
granting their requests the differ
ences are adjusted and there is res
pect and good feeling on both sides.
Congressman Nolan, of California,
in a speech on the recent labor trou-
blcS said that he was an executive
officer of the Moulders' Union, and
ne spoke from personal experience
when he said:
When this world and this country
get back to a normal state of mind
and we can sit calmly around the
table and settle these industrial prob
lens, my opinion is that the way to
settle them will be found through
conciliation. Common sense then
prevails. Then there is confidence
between the employer and the en-
Dloyee. and that is the foundation
for our industrial structure,
When we get to that point, and |
am satisfied that We are going to get
to it, no matter what we try in COM
pulsory legislation or compulsory
labor, we will settle these disputes
in the way | have suggested. The
matter of industrial disputes in this
country and in the world will find its
foundation on u solid rock only when
employer and employee get together
and settle their differences in a calm
common-ScnSe way.
That Is the comon sense way Of set
Ting labor disputes; where the men
who do the work and their employers
get together without the presence of
walking delegates, or foreign ennis
saries and discuss their differences in
in friendly and yielding spirit there
will be adjustment satisfactory to
both parties.
Think of the thousands, even mil
lions OF dollars, that might be saved
by such measures Of cancellation and
of fair dealing. 1t is t. bc hoped
that strikes, walkouts and Ioekouts
may be abolished and that common
sense, conscience and the golden rule
may prevail in industrial lines. Then
the prophecy may be fulfilled that the
lion and the lamb may lie dowp to-
gcthcr, and the lamb will not be in
side the lion either

INDEPENDENCE OF
FARM LABOR

The farmer faces an entirely diff
ference situation today with the shor-
tage of labor than he did in the old
days when farm hands were plenti-
full.
While timid farmers, using labor
scarcity as an excuse, have abandon
ed their farms and driftcd to town,
the progressive farm owners are
fast learning to acquire Independence
of labor.
The use of machinery in place of
muscle is the answer.
The problems of quick transporta-
ton, saving and hauling cord wood,
country produce and farm supplies,
cutting ensiIage, grinding feed, she'll
ing corn, threshing wheat, storing
hay and filling silos-these and
much other farm work can be done
by one man with belt, a pulley and
the engine of motor truck.
All these feats of usefulness are
combined in the Indiana Farm Truck
with its portable power units.
LILO u uSh Will Hldke the average
farmer independent of farm hands.
These labor-saving tasks are in
days work of the Indiana Farm
Truck. 1t can also be used as pow
er plant to light the farm, and it will
pump water as efficiently as fire en-
gne.
A farmer safeguards his property,
puts convenience asd pleaure into his
farm work, and surrounds himself
and his family with an atmosphere of
comfort by the service Of one of these
remarkable Indiana Farm Trucks.
The investmcnt-as your banker
will regard the purchase of one of
these trucks-is offered to every res
p0nsible farmer on easy time pay

pany, Of Statesvillc, N. c. advt.

BOIL WEEVIL HAS ARRIVED
IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY

The long hcraldcd and much an
nOunccd boil wccvil has finally ap-
pcarcd in Chesterfield County.
This time there is no uncertainty.
The report is authentic and the proof
is ndisputablc.
Last week the Government sent it's
expert, Mr.. Tucker, from Washington
TO this locality to investigate reports
that had been received stating that
Chesterfield County had been invad-
ed by the weevil.
Mr.. Tucker and County Agent w.
}. Tlllcr imcdiatcly began a thorough
investigation. AS a result Mr.. Tuck
or has many specimens Of the pest in
his possession and Mr.. Tillcr also car
ries sample, all Of which were taken
from cotton plants in this county. In
and around CheraW every field Of
cotton that has been visited yielded
few wecvils. About Chesterfield
no actual wccvils were found, but
pIcnty of evidences were to be seen
Indicating that they had been at
work. The recent froSts have probab-
ly caused them to hibernate for the
winter. The quarantine line now will
include the town of Chesterfield This
means that cotton hullS may not be
shipped from here to points to the
North not yet infested by the wcevil.
These developments need not
caused alarm to the cotton growers of
this county, as they have been warn
ed for several years that the advent
Of the Wecvil in this community was
as certain as death and taxes. Most
OF the progressive farmers of the
county have for several seasons been
gradually increasing their live stock
nerds and fencing, preparatory to the
coming Of the wccvl. Such men will
not be greatly affected. As the wee
VII rs not usually Il fast worker nc
gives ample warning. 1t is the opin-
ION that one more good cotton crop
may be had in this county, possibly
more, but there is no certainty that
the next seasons crop will not be
considerably damaged and there is
much reason to believe that the fol
lowing crop will not be profitable at
any price. In fact, expert advice for
Chesterfield County farmers to begin
at once to reduce cotton acreage and
to increase production Of other crops.
