ledc and many other northern and
western cities race riots between the
whites and the blacks are occurring
with distressing frequency, You may
desire to know what causes these race
riots in the north and west, where you
have probably been told that conditions
for the negro race are preferable to
those found in the South. The ele-
ments of the white race, with which
the negro comes most frequently in
contact in the north and west have a
feeling Of active enemity towards the
colored man, while this feeling does
not exist in the South. What has
caused this feeling in the north? It
is due to competition. The element in
the north performing manual labor,
for which the negro, is at this period,
best suited, finds the negro an active
competitor. and a situation of this kind

A BRIEF HISTORY OF
BOIL WFEVIL CONDITIONS
An Address by G. A. Cardwell, Agri.
cultural and Industrial Agent, A
G. l.. Railroad Company at King.
stree, S. c., October 2, 1920.

The advance Of the cotton boil wee
vii for Il number of years past, in
states south of us has been met with,
first, a feeling of Indifference and dis
belief, and second, disorgapization and
panic after the arrival of the weevils
in large numbers. During the period
of decentralization following the arrival
of the weevils the amount of actual
money loss, and the loss Of labor has
varied according to the character Of
leadership: In some sections lands
have been sold for mere song; the
labor has become scattered over the
entire country, thousands of men, wo-
men and children leaving, for the rea-
son that they faced starvation. This
gloomy picture is typical Of those sec
tions which failed to respond to the
"get ready" advice given by those
familiar with the ravages of the
weevil

fore. These figures were compiled by
the war loan organization of the Fifth
Federal reserve district from informa-
tion furnished by the banks, the state
bank examiner and the controller Of
the currency in Washington.
The steady growth in savings and
the increase in the number of savings
accounts are considered wholesome
signs that the total ware Of wasteful
spending and attenoant high prices
which has swept across the country
soon may be definitely checked. They
seem to indicate, students of finance
| and economics believe, q tendency to-
ward increased production, q growing
determination to cut down useless eX-
penditures and an earnest realization
that money must be saved for future
needs and for wise investment if new
wealth is to be created and if the bust
ness of the country is to be returned
to normal conditions and placed upon
a sound basis.
We Are Not A Thrifty People
We are not naturally a thrifty peo-
pie. This is proven by the careless
manner in which we handle our pro-
ducts after having put our money and
months of labor into their production.
TO illustrate, permit me to mention
the cotton crop, which is your money
crop. When your cotton comes from
the gin what do you do with it, when
you do not have to turn it over to
some one in payment of debt, or sell
in order to get money to satisfy some
account? Do you carefully store it in
warehouse or shed where it can be
protected against damage by exposure
to the weather, or do you permit the
bales to lie out in the open? If the
latter is the course followed by you,
let's stop and consider just what this
does to your cotton and your finances.
Some tests conducted by the u. S.
Department of Agriculture recently
proves that millions of dollars are lost
every year through improper storage
of cotton. This has been known in a
general way for a long time by every
body interested in cotton. Briefly
here is what the tests disclosed:
Bale No. l, fully protected in ware
house, weighed 494 pounds at the
start and had net marketable weight
of 492 pounds when reconditioned at
the end of the test.
Bale No. 2, exposed on dunnage and
turned after each rain or once week,
dropped in net marketable cotton from
487 pounds to 480 pounds. (Seven
pounds lost.)
Bale No. 3, on dunnage on edge,
covered with tarpaulin and left with
out further attention during test, drop
ped from 4S9 to 485 pounds. (Four
pounds lost.)
Bale No. d, flat on ground during
entire test, same surface down at all
times, dropped from 1872 to 260 pounds
1882 pounds lost.) During the test
this bale absorbed moisture until it
weighed 912 pounds on June 7th. In
reconditioning 420 pounds of moisture
went out and 232 pounds of moulded
and ruined cotton were thrown away.
Bale No. S, on the end on ground
during the entire test, with same sur
face down at AL times, dropped from
sos pounds to 1886 pounds. (Loss 1870

whether it be between nations or

many Of the northern and western

Will the democratic women Of

resent the District Of Columbia at tho

ganixations in the District to have
women as three of the six delegates
past the women have not voted In the
elections Of delegates to the national
convention.

ing here would have to be settled lat
er. Tho national committee made no
ruling insregard to 1t, but has left the
question up to the democratic state
committee OF the District along with
the arrangements for tho selection Of
the delegates
II have been In favor Of woman suf-
frage and have no objection person

IT'S time the people here had

MORE SCHOOL CHILDREN;
 LESS VOTERS

Bridgeport appears to have more school children than Hartford and less voters. At the time of the state election of 1918 Hartford had 22,91a registered voters and Bridgeport 2O,- SIS, but the September, 1918, enum- eration of children school age showed S4,294 in Bridgeport, while Hartford had 2S,919.. In spite of the fact that Hartford had more than 1000 more voters than Bridgeport, the difference of more than 5000 chil- dren in favor of Bridgeport shows that the latter city had a larger popu- 1ation than Hartford. the difference indicating that Hartford had more permanent population, with Bridge ports population less stable and made up more largely of transients Which is the larger city today is an open question, which will be settled before night, but it is not generally believed that Hartford had caught up with the Fairfield county metropolis.
