Local Good Samaritans
Help Unfortunate Couple

Late on Tuesday afternoon man
and his wife, with babe in her arms,
appeared at police headquarters and
appealed for help. He apologized to
the chief Of police for the appeal.
They were sent to the Kerns hotel
for the night. Investigation reveal
ed that the husband was aged about
% years and his wife about 81.
They had walked from Olympia
Except about 8 miles, when the
Red Cross auto picked them up),
that day, he carrying their baggage
Ia large suit case and valise) and
she carrying their baby, aged one
year. They we're without money.
About two years ago they we're mar
ried at Birmingham, Ala, where the
wife's father and family now live,
and where the husband had a posi-
ton with salary of $3.50 per month.
Under inducement that in the mining
district of West Virginia he could
get big wages, $40 per day, he gave
up his job and with his bride went to
West Virginia. His expectations
were not realized. Instead of $40
day, he began working in the mines
and received about $500 per day
for two weeks. Then the time for op-
GRAFTON began to lessen, dropping to
three days per week, then lower and
finally his compensation was so re-
duced that he could not support
himself. Money paid by installment
plan for household equipment was
lost. Other employment was sought.
The pay was less and work irregu-
lar. Their first babe was born. The
doctors bill and other expenses with
work exhausted what funds
they had. Thus they began their
return to their native state, Ala
bama, working as best he could,
slowly making their way. His last
work before arriving in our city was
at the friedrich plant at Hitchins,
Carter county.
He presented a printed filed in
letter of commentator properly at
tested showing that he was a deacon
Of religious organization known as
Christian Conference of Whitaker,
W. Va, general headquarters at
Charleston, W. Va.
The wife gave the name of her
father living at Wylam, Ala, sub
urb of Birmingham, and said he was
a member of the Odd Fellows lodge
at mining town, Edgewater, two
miles from where her family lived.
Some Of our townspeople became
interested in the case. Sufficient
money was secured from two church
charity funds and twenty eight in
dividuals and business firms to pro-
vide them with transportation to
Birmingham and "a extra for emer-
gencies en- route. Tickets were
bought and presented to them. A
lunch for the trip was provided, and
as they waited at the depot Tuesday
afternoon as the rain fell one Of our
thoughtful women, observing that
the mother was thinly clad, sent
hastily to the Red Cross headauar-
ters for a coat or cloak for her,
The city paid for hotel accommo-
dations during their stay.

Shirt Cuff News and Facts.

When you visit Washington these
DAYS you hear much more about the
farms than formerly. We presume
that this is because of the activity Of
the farm organizations and the in
creasing importance Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Anyway, a re-
porter for the National Editorial Ser
vice in which this newspaper is a
franchise member, jotted down some
facts and news on his shirt cuff that
came to him by chance during a day
spent in Washington. Here they are:
American farmers own zoe, 600
automobiles.
"Ultraclay' is the name Of a new
substance found in soil by scientists,
Department Of Agriculture is sus-
Ipicious of clover seed imported this
winter.
Agricultural Department has dis
covered the cause Of root rot in
corn.
Sugar substitutes, like d%extrose,
will be allowed in curing hams and
bacon.
Uncle Sam has eight million farms
about one-third of which are over
100 acres.
The farmers have over Fl 600, 900
horses.
Bureau Of soils has now surveyed
one-third Of the United States.
Agricultural Department is about
ready to announce a method Of say
ing fruit and vegetables on railroad
cars from freezing.
Rhode Island lost one-third of its
farms in the last ten years.
Perhaps all these facts are not
news to farmers but we'll bet most
OF them are.

"The South learned a bitter lesson
these past IL months. While Texas
ard the States west Of the Mississippi
river sold their cotton, the eastern
belt held. The price fell from 40
cents to 10 cents. The banks loaned
money to their capacity. They even
strained themselves to accommodate
the farmers who wanted to hold cot
ton. Even now the banks are loaded
with cotton paper. The merchants
are carrying thousands and millions
of unpaid claims on their books.
Nobody who cares anything about
his reputation can afford to give ad-
vice about holding or selling cotton.
Naturally, in the face of short crop,
the growers want all they can get for
the staple. On the other hand, re-
membering the lessons of the past
season, it seems to be the part of
common sense to sell at least part
of the cotton crop and pay up some
Of the old debts.
"Once a debt paying campaign is
started it will have a far-reaching eff
feet on all lines of business. Like a
stone thrown in pond, the waves
will reach the furthermost shores OF
business. Buying will result. The
wheels will be started to moving. Bet
ter business will result. Everybody
will feel the stimulating effect. The
depression will be lifted and we will
be on the road to normal conditions.
A Charleston business man supple
ments the foregoing as follows:
There is no doubt about it, the
two things needed to put business on
its feet in this territory, are first, a
debt paying campaign, and second, a
buying movement. Put these two
forces to work and everybody will
soon be happy and smiling and busi-
ness will be we'll on the road to nor

zone thousand dollars turned loose
in any city in. the cotton belt would
settle many debts. From sunrise to
sunset, the money would travel per-
forming the useful mission of making
easy many who are now hard pressed.
A half million dollars would settle
still more debts and would go far to-
wards solving the question of provid-
ing work for the unemployed. The
100000 or more bales of cotton which
is estimated as being held in South
Carolina, together with the new crop
estimated for this State at 650,000
represents on today's market a total
of about $145,OO0,OOO. The seed from
this years crop will add thousands
more to this total. When this cotton
is sold it will wipe out many old
scores. News & Courier, Oct. 6.
