USVEIL LORRAINE'S MONUMENT
TO AMERICAN FORCES

Flirey. France, Aug. 21.-Lor-
raine's monument to the American
Expeditionary Forces. the dedica-
ton of which was one of the prin-
cipal objects of the present visit Of
the American Legion delegation TO
France. was unveiled here today by
the Legion's representatives in the
presence of the whole countryside
Marshal Foch, Louis Barthou, min
ister Of the Liberated regions, and
Ambassador Herrick participated in
the ceremonies.
The people of Flirey, who all speak
more or less English as the result or
their long association with the Amer
leans who held the sector, were
deeply affected by the memories the
unveiling brought up, laughing and
crying by turns as they exchanged
greetings with their American friends
and intently following the progress
of the exercises.
The Legionaires came in automo-
biles from Metz, stopping on the way
while Major John G.. Emery, national
commander of the American Legion,
who served in the First Division in
the war, placed a wreath on the
grave of Lieut.. Jefferson Fiegel. the
first officer of the First Division kill
ed in France. Major Emery himself
received from NJ. Barthou the insig-
MIA of commander of the Legion of
Honor and from Marshal Foch, the
war cross with palm, in recognition
of his having been wounded during
the fighting in the Argonne and be-
ing cited in American army orders
The monument unveiled today
which is blunt obelisk shaped shaft
bearing bas relief of s'two dough
boys" with appropriate inscriptions
stands beside the road, facing the
village between the village and the
old fighting front. From the mon
| ument the trenches and entangle
| ments of the former battle lines are
still visible. Flirey itself, where
every house was destroyed in the
| war, is now fully half rebuilt.

DECLARES RACE SUICIDE
INCREASING AMONG GRADUATES

Boston. Aug. 22.-Is race suicide
increasing among college graduates?
Maurie Kicker of the United States
Public Health Service says that it is,
and quotes statistics. Some college
presidents are inclined to doubt the
conclusions drawn by the Health Ser
vice official and think his figures give
a wrong impression. Others say that
from lack of statistics of their own,
they are not prepared to discuss the
subject They amit that Mr.. Riekers'
figures are startling and that they
present a disquieting view of the
future.
Addressing the recent convention
of the National Educational Associa-
tion in Des Moines. Ia, Mr.. Kicker
was quoted as follows: "Investiga-
tion by the federal public health ser
vice over a period of years indicate
that the progeny of one thousand
graduates from such institutions as
Harvard. Yale, Princeton, Vassar and
Smith will not exceed fifty in 100
years from now" He proceeded to
compare the results of a similar can
vass among illiterate foreigners and
said it indicated that in like period
the original thousand would be null
tiplied at least a hundred times.
Frederick l.. Allen, secretary of
the Harvard University Corporation
produced some figures of his own
from the Harvard records. He said:
Mr.. Ricker's assertion would
seem at first reading to give the i'm
preston that college students have on
the average less than one child a
piece. This is not SO among Harvard
graduates at any rate. Among the
classes 1SS1-90 at Harvard the last
ten classes whose statistics are avail
able and may be considered fairly
complete, the average number of men
per class was 24S, of whom 1913
married and had 372 children, an
average of 2O6 children per mar
ried graduate, or 1.55 children per
capita for the whole class.
The Yale figures for the same per-
iod are similar The birthrate among
Harvard graduates declined during
the past half century. The decline
however, was less sharp in the class
between 1870 and 1890 than it had
been previously: and situation
which is disquieting at best. seems
thus to be showing a gradual ten
dency to right ITSELF

Bert Hagan, assault on Frank
Hooker, 1925. Evidence was that
Bert Hagan passed Hooker, who

Frank Hooker was charged S15.75

Jessie Blaylock was charged
S1925 for an assault on Frank
Hooker with brick.
Wiley Farmer was taxed 1925 for
being drunk.
A negro woman named Pauline
Smith was charged $29.75 for disor-
derly conduct. 1t seems that the
woman came to the colored Disciples
church yesterday morning at meet
ing time and while negro man was
talking to some of those standing
around she pulled at his coat tails
and charged him with taking some
clothes belonging to white people for
whom she is washing and not bring
ing them back. She was told that
she was in the presence of the church
and that she must stop raising a
fuss. She replied she had nothing
to do with the church, that the man
had stolen the clothes and thrown
her down for another woman She
then asked Chief Warren to make
out a warrant for James McLain. the
negro, who is alleged to be the cause
of her trouble. This was done.

NO TAN ALLOWED FROM
PRODUCTION OF CHILD LABOR
Continued from page One.D

Continued from page One.)
The Owing gkeating child labor law
was also held unconstitutional by
Judge Boyd in a decision rendered
two years ago. His ruling then was
upheld by the Supreme Court of the
United States
Regulation of labor. jude Boy d
ruled, was one of the powers retained
by the states and not delegated to
the Federal government. State child
labor laws are adequate to care for
the situation and provide penalty not
tax as is proposed by act of Con-
greSS.
The attempt of the Federal govern
ment to regulate labor in the state is
usurpation of authority and violation
of the sovereign right of the state.
An order permanently restraining
the collector from collecting revenue

COST OF MAKING GCROP OF
TOBACCO FOR YEAR 1921

Continued from page Onel
the investment if all the cleared land
should yield $4,000 per acre, or
$1,000 per year.
The cost of upkeep is figured on
the basis of a one horse crop of Is
acres, covering a ten year average,
for the reason that the average life
of a mule is ten years, the average
life of barn is ten years, the aver
age life of wagon is ten years. Of
course it will require more than a
set Of harness, more than one set of
plows, hoes, rakes, shovels, plow
lines for ten years, but the number
and the cost of these have been esti-
mated as follows:
One stalk cutter, $4,000; harness,
$4,000; plows, $3.50; wagon, SIS;
tobacco trucks, $4,000; plows, points
and equipment, s55.75; plow lines,
back bands, collars, names, etc.,
$4,000; shovels, $500; hoes $1,000;
pitchforks, s4.OO; grubbing hoes,
$500; briar knife, $3.50; files, s4;
rakes, s2.O0; barn, s45O.OO; fiues.
$4,000; pack house, $4,000; total
SHOOTS.
Dividing this amount by ten years
we have an average Of $4,000 per
year as the cost of the upkeep Of a
one horse crop of fifteen acres. Di-
viding $4,000 by fifteen acres we
have $500 epr year as the cost of
the upkeep of one acre of tobacco.
Added to $1O8.50 the cost of setting,
cultivating, curing, grading the to-
bacco we have around 10 1-2 cents
per pound as the cost of producing
500 pounds of tobacco when it is put
| on the floor of the warehouse. This
does not include the cost of selling.
In other words if the farmers of Will
so ncounty who have not made more
| than 600 pounds per acre this year
do not receive more than twenty
cents per pound they will not make
any money on their tobacco crop.

SUGGEST INJUNCTION
To STOP TAN RERATE,

Raleigh. Aug. 2O.-Injunction to
prevent the return of any portion of
the taxes paid by the American To-
bacco company and the Liggett and
Myers company, and if possible to
prevent the saving of such taxes as
are now unpaid, was suggested in
state circles todays the solitary rem
edy against the late ruling of the
state board of equalization in re
ducing tobacco stock values equiya-
lent to $4,000 in taxes.
The attorney general having rul-
ed that the order would be regular
and that the reduction was proper,
the old question whether there is any
appeal from the findings of such a
board is raised. The injunction is
the only thing in sight. Government
by injunction is a pet abomination
of the state, but giving back $780,
900 to rich corporation is likewise
a trouble maker. All that appears
possible now to do is to get some
citizen of Durham to stay the taking
of $55,OO0 from the city treasury
which must have the school funds
If the bull is too powerful in the city
there might be found a rube outside
the corporate limits who would un-
dertake to stop somebody.
Lawyers are looking over the
books in procedure today with q
view to finding some way to stop the
payment of this money or reducing
the valuations. This case Gan come
to the Supreme court. In that event
it will give Chief Justice Walter
Clark his opportunity. In it's pres
ent state the Judge cannot well get
into the fight. He will have to sit
on the litigation when it is started
in the courts. 1t is hardly probable
however, that the Durham companie.

YOUNG CORN GREATLY DAMAGED

The young corn is greatly damaged
especially in the northern section of
the county where it has been very
dry. Many of the farmers are cutting
and shocking it in the field for fod-
der. This it would seem is the best
way to dispose of it. There is not suf-
2ficient grain on the ear to save the
grain, and to attempt to pull the fod-
der in it's dried up condition is mere
ly waste of time, so for all practical
purposes the best way is to cut it
down for feed

NEGRO SHOT TO DEATH
IN BULL HEAD SUNDAY
(Snow Hill Laconic) .

About s o'clock Sunday night Cary
Garfield Thomas, who died Monday
morning about the same hour. The
shooting occurred at Thomas home,
and in the presence of Thomas wife,
per, coroner, empanelled a jury COM
posed of the following gentlemen: c..
L. Jones, Lyman Lasitter, S. r. Shin
gleton, James Murphy, J. Britt Sugg,
and F. l.. Rouse
According to evidence brought out
in the hearing before the coroner's
jury the following are the salient
facts of the events leading up to the
murder and of the murder itself Cary
Parker, Garfield Thomas and sever
al others were at the home of Henri

and had made his presence in the
home Objectionable to the women.
vino asked Thomas to get him off
home. Thomas went to Parker who
at that time was in semi-stupor. or
partly asleep. When he got up he
made as if to fight Thomas and in
the scuff1e that ensued Thomas shirt
was torn which appeared to anger
Thomas, who then pulled a pistol
from his pocket and fired once at
Parker, but did not hit him; he
snapped his pistol several times and
it failed to fire. Tom Hall who was
present endeavored to separate them,
and did so, both going towards their
bones in opposite directions, and
only about 200 yards distant from the
! Speight woman's home Parker lived
at the home of Jim Ellis Upon his
arrival there he took Ellis's gun, tell
ing Ellis what he intended to do,
Ellis tried to take the gun from him
but did not succeed. Hall arrived al
the home of Ellis just a short while
after Parker had left with the gun
and upon learning what Parker had
done, started for the home of Thomas
| to warn him; had gone only a short
| distance when he heard the gun fire
1t appears that Thomas saw Parker
outside the door just as he cred, be-
cause he cried out after the shot
Parker had shot him. Parker's wife
was in the room and saw the flash
OF the gun, but did not see who shot
it. Parker went back by the Speight
woman's home and told that he had
shot Thomas, went on to Ellis's home
got some tobacco and walked out with
the gun saying that he was off.
The verdict of the coroner was thai
Garfield Thomas died of a gunshot
wound inflicted by gun in the hand.
Of Cary Parker. Parker has not beer
apprehended at this writing. The kill
ing occurred on the Dred Ruffin farm
IN Bull Head township, the farm
now being the property of Charley

TOBACCO COSTS TWENTY CENTS
TO PRODJTCE

The editor of the Times has been
greatly impressed with the economic
condition of this community and the
causes leading thereto. The depres-
sion is due to the condition of cur
agricultural interests. Wilson coun-
ty is essentially an agricultural Sec
ton. Let the crops fail, or bring
low price, and every other industry
IS affected. So then the prosperity
of the farmers affects the prosperity
Of all.
To this end we have for years en-
the farmers. We have endeavored
to show them that the farmer who
makes his living will have a surplus
from his money crops to salt down
This will be invested in other land,
in better home, education of his
children, in comforts, in better stock,
implements and other things to
make him more efficient and his
family more comfortable. The farm
ers in the western part of the state,
are in better financial condition
than those in the east because they
make their living and have some
thing to sell above that When we
come to think of it how much more
do we get out of life than a living?
There are no pockets in a shroud
and if we had all the money in the
world we could not take it away with
us when we die.
So then above all things a farmer
should provide first for his own
household, and in the case of the
farmer we take the admonition from
the Bible means, to make his living
on his farm.
On the front page of the Times
today we make the assertion that it
costs on ten year average 20 cents
to make pound of tobacco. We
are basing the figures on the cost o1
labor today, and not 1919 when as
nigh as $500 was paid to put in a
barn of tobacco. This year the
price has fallen to $3.50 per day.
The tobacco trade is of the opin
ion that the present crop will bring
an average of 20 cents. We maintain
that the farmers Of Wilson county
will not make any money this year
on the average yield of 600 pounds
to the acre, if they receive an aver
age Of only twenty cents per pound
Therefore let our farmers sit dowr
and do some quiet figuring anG
thinking, and make up their mind.
