Toxic dispatches yesterday report
ed that Japan is not disposed to
allow the Shantung controversy to
come before the conference. AT the
same time the United States is not
putting itself forward as a mediator
in the controversy between Japan
and China over Shantung, it was
authUritaiivoly stated.
The immigration issue, which has
been the cause of so much friction
bet Wcon the United States and Japan,
particularly in California, was omit
ted from the agenda submitted by
the United States To the other pow
ers invited to the conference. The
United States always has taken the
position that immigration is a do
mcstic question and cannot logically
become matter of discussion by
an international body. Japan up to
this time has signified no disapprov-
Ial of the exclusion of the immigra-
ton question from the conference.
The zap question, which has
been. the chief bone of contention
between the United States and Jap
an for the past year, is well on the
, way to solution, it was said yes
terday upon the highest authority.
The State Department has strong
hopes that the zap dispute will be
settled completely before the con
| ference begins.
1t may develop that Japan may
be unwilling to submit the Siberian
question to the conference.
With these four important contro-
verses excluded from discussion, the
conference will be particularly free
to proceed at once to the considera-
tion of the foremost problems Of
the international conference.

city last night and lodged in jail.
The charge against Bill Tull was
for interfering with the duties of
an officer. The charge against him
grew out of the arrest OF Chas. Tull.
He was accused of having leyeled a
gun on an officer at the time the
arrest was made, in an effort to
prevent the execution of the Off

Rockingham post-dispatch. [volume] (Rockingham, N.C.) 1917-1965, 1921-05-26

In the passing Of Mrs. Frances
Leak Wall, or Cousin Fannie"
as she was better known to the.
many relatives in Rockingham, a
distinctive type of womanhood
has gone from our midst.
A little old gentle woman,
whose entire life had been shell.
tered and shut in by a splendid
heritage of gentle, kindly folks.
whose history and traditions were
one with the history and tradi-
tions of Richmond County.
An only child she was petted
and reared with a deep love for
her own people, and her dear
Southland. Brought up by her
parents to love and reverence
their church, she was a devoted
Methodist, and to the day OF her
death loved her ministers, and
for some she had an abiding care
for their welfare and happiness.
She was ever conscious OF, and
ready to respond to needs and de-
mands for help from the colored
race; these constituted the needy
to her las they were in the old
days, when they were our slaves
and she never turned a deaf ear
to their calls. So quiet was her
life, that | amagine many who
knew her best, would be surprised
if the colored people would just
tell, one by one, what Miss Fan.
ME" had done for them.
A woman of bright mind and
no mean will, with all the auto
cratic principles OF the old South
.erner, she resented deeply the
organized drive" of the new
woman and rarely responded to
demands apportioned for her by
the associated charities. Altho'
she was most generous in her
own way, and where she felt the
need.
The writer knew her intimate
ly, and loved her tenderly, for
her untailing courtesy and in
herent delicacy and refinement.

Get In On The Ground Floor.

Some county or counties are
going 10 breed and sell purebred
livestock to the farmers of the
State as the weevil advances.
This County has already began
this work in handsome shape,
and if the small farmer is wise,
he will join the procession and
reap his part of the income.
Times Are Tight, Il is True,
and will be tighter unless we be-
gin at once to make preparations
for Investigation, including live
stock.
In a recent issue of the Post
Dispatch, you noticed reference
to the high,class Jersey bulls To-
Gated at the Rockingham, Ellerbe
and Zion Blocks With such
classy foundation stock all that
is necessary is for each man in
reach of these communities to
procure a pure.bred cow or even
a pure-bred heifer calf, and these
communities become at once
breeders of high-class animals for
dairying or for profit in the sale
Of purebred offering.
Caution. In buying purebreds,
never buy an animal that can't be
registered. For no one wants toll
pay a good price for the offering
Of such stock.
Sorghum Seed Cheap.
Sorghum seed can be bought
at about SLIGO per bushel, and if
sown at the rate of one bushel
per acre. with a bushel of peas or
two bushels of velvet beans, will
make a hay better than Timothy.
Sow some on that abandoned cot
ton acreage or on the grain stub
BILE land or on both, and be ready
to winter livestock at low cost.
