 Laura London's letter was not deliv- cred until the second day, for, though she had not told her messenger to give It to sam when he was alone, Curly guessed this would be better.
 Sam ran over his letter two or three times. IL was such a message as any brave-hearted, lmpulsive girl might send to the man she loved when he seemed to her to walk In danger. Gull took in him. even while he ridicuIed her fears.
 As They rode back to the ranch, Curly mentioned that he had seen Sam's people day or two before.

 "Yes, 1t would. We've got plans. Soapy is relying on me. No matter what they are. but I'm not going to lie down on him. And I'm not going back to the old man. He told me he was through with me. I'm not begging him to take me back. not on your life"
 Curly dropped the matter. But as the days passed he kept one thing In his mind, not to miss any chance to win his friendship.

Yesterday Sunday afternoon
as three sons of Mr.. w. j. Mckee,
of Donalds section, along with four
other young people were returning
from a meeting of the Young Peo.
ple's Christian Endeavor society,
which had met at Greenvale church,
the automobile in. which they were
riding was struck at a crossing near
the church by a car on Piedmont &
Northern Railway Company. The
automobile was completely de-
molished. All of the young people
were thrown out of the automobile,
and all were more or less shaken up,
but none were badly hurt except
Ernest Mckee, the fifteen year old
son of Mr.. w. j. Mckee.

if the legislature could see its way
clear to do 50, it would be up to the
general assembly to do the cutting.
Figures in the announcement of
the budget commission show that to
"cut" items from any Of the de-
partments would seriously cripple
the work and as Governor Cooper
said there seems to be no place to
do the cutting. An earnest effort
is to be made to strengthen the
work of all the institutions this year
and to do this it is pointed out that
the money must be appropriated.
Governor Cooper, always in favor
of advancement and progress, is
planning to put the question square
ly up to: the citizens and the legis-
lature. He hopes for an increased
appropriation and will lend his ef-
forts to this end.
Among the large items being ask
ed is the total for the educational
division with $4,944,5S7.7s. The
correctional and charitable institu-
tions are asking for $1,785,159.9s.

ERNEST M'KEE HURT
IN AUTO ACCIDENT

The young man was taken imme-
diately to the Greenwood Hospital.
His injuries consisted for the most
part of a lick on the head and an
other in the back. It was feared at
first that his condition might be
very serious, but in response to a
call over the long distance by the
Press and Banner the news comes
this afternoon that the young man
is not seriously hurt and that he is
doing as well as could be expected.

COUNTY SAVINGS BANK
RE-0PENS FOR BUSINESS
row-Bank Examiner Makes Thorough Ex-
animation and Pronounces Bank Abso-
lutely Solvent and Directs That it
Resume Business

The County Savings Bank will
reopen its doors tomorrow
morning. The bank was closed
Friday by the officers after con-
sultation with stockholders and
friends of the institution. 1t was
announced then that the bank
was absolutely solvent, but that
its notes to other banks were
maturing and its collections
were slow and it was thus unable
to meet its obligations as they
matured. There was never any
any doubt but that the bank was
able to pay all it's obligations.
At the suggestion of the bank
officials Bank Examiner Craig
and Assistant Bank Examiner
Bradley have made a thorough
investigation into the affairs Of
the bank and they find the bank
absolutely solvent, and the Bank
Examiner advises it to open its
doors. 1t will open Tuesday morn
ing for business as usual. The
bank has been able while closed
to make arrangements to meet
its obligations as they mature
and there Is no reason now why
she bank should not continue to
do business.
After the meeting today Bank

Examiner Craig gave out the
following statement:
81 am surprised that the
= County Savings Bank closed its
doors, and must attribute the ac-
ton of its Directors to a misun-
derstanding of its condition.
AS a matter of fact. the Bank
has made a good showing consid-
ering the time of its operation.
1t is unfortunate that. the Bank
was closed, for in these trying
times that touch the homes of
our entire citizenship, conf
dence in our Banking system
should be sustained by all hon.
est and honorable means. have
made a most careful examination
of the Bank. I find that its Cleri-
cal work has been honestly and
faithfully done and all loans
have been placed with more than
usual caution. The Bank is SOL
vent and at no time has there
been a chance for the depositors
to lose a dollar. With this assur-
ance | feel that it is not asking
too much of this community to
insist that patrons of this Bank
continue to give the same hearty
cooperation that they have in
the past"

CLOTHING TRADE
EXPECTS LOOKOUT
Break Between the Manufacturers
And Workers-Would Establish
Sovietism in Industry, Man.
ufacturers Charge
Statement Issued
By Bandler


ers in the clothing trade do not in
tend to "lend themselves to the estab-
lishment of sovietism in their ndus-
ury," declared William Bandler, pres
ident of the Clothing Manufacturers
association, in a statement issued
here tonight. He characterized as
"humbug, sham and false pretense"
the unions charge that the manufac-
turers have inaugurated lookout"
and plan to return to "sweat shop
conditions"
."This will be evidenced" the state
ment added, "by the fact that the
employers are about to put into oper-
alton a plan of work, whereby en-
ployment will be given to thousands
of workers who for long time have
been idle because of the inability of
the manufacturers to compete and Sc
cure business. And the workers will
be invited to work, but it is feared
that they will be prevented from so
doing by the unions direction that
they strike. Sweat shop conditions
today are matter of the past and
are inconceivable and impossible
through the safeguards and protec-
ton afforded workers by our present
labor laws"
New Order Needed.
Mr.. Bandler asserted a complete
change in the fundamentals control
ling the local labor market is imper-
ative to restore the industry to a be-
sis of business efficiency and eradi-
cate the evil practices in which "the
industry is stepped and the perils
which threaten it." This is neces-
sary, he declared, in order to meet
the public's demand for a reduction
of clothing prices, to save to New
York city the clothing market with
it's annual output of $200,O00,O00 and
give employment to about 10000
workers.
Mr.. Bandler cited numerous confer
iences with the .anion which he said
led to nothing and the unions posi-
ton that irrespective of merit and
of existing economic conditions" it
would not recede from what it had
secured during war times. After the
union rejected the proposal that
workers be held individually respon-
sible. for daily standard of produc-
tion to be agreed upon and manu-
facturers be permitted to discharge
incompetent help Mr.. Bandler said:
"There remained no other course
open to the manufacturers than to
publicly announce the severance of
relations between the association and
the union and to proceed to put into
effect a plan of work whereby each
worker would be paid for what he
produces and on basis which would
permit the New York manufacturers
to secure business in competition with
the other clothing markets where
the wages are very substantially
lower -.

president or cashier of the bank you
do business with. Tell him a large
part of his business comes from
farmers and that farmers expect
him to go the limit in helping them
now. See your merchant and tell
him he had better suffer some tens
porary inconvenience, better wait
until he can wait no longer on his
cotton customers, rather than force
the South back into the poverty and
backwardness it formerly suffered,
And if you have tenants or neighbors
who insist on selling anyhow, buy
their cotton if possible, and hold it
out of the regular channels of trade.
Demand also a fair price for
cotton seed. This subject has al
ready been discussed in previous
issues of The Progressive Farmer.
The decision Of the Montgomery
meeting was that farmers who can
use cottonseed meal for feeding

should exchange cotton seed for an
equal quantity of cottonseed meal,
or should sell seed when a ton of
seed is selling for as much as ton
of meal.
If this battle for better cotton
prices is to be won, the growers
themselves must fight to the finish.

SEPTEMBER SUB
SCRIPTION RECORD

Thus far the Enterprise subscrip-
ton record for the .mOnth Of Sep
TENDER is most encouraging, both as
to new subscribers and renewals.
AS stated last week, many subscrip-
tions expire this month, but the long
list of renewals below would indi-
cate that these subscribers do not
expect to miss an issue of the En-
terprise and thus be deprived of the
county news.
While many nave renewed, still
others whose time expires this month
have neglected to attend to this mat
ter, and among them some failed
to receive their papers last week.
The new rule is to drop the name
when the paid-up time expires. This
has proven entirely satisfactory to
all. 1t is a straightforward bust
ness proposition and is being carried
out to the letter, without partiality
or favor.
Besides the county news, there is
the good store news, so much of in
terest at this fall season, when SO
may have to lay in supply of win
ter notwithstanding, shoes, hats,
furniture, stoves, and SO on. All
these are shown in our advertising
columns and readers are urged to
keep in touch with store keepers by
reading the Enterprise ads every
week. It is actually money to you
to do so.
