One reason is that no good news
paper will print dishonest adver-
tising.
The other reason is that expert
ence has proven that dishonest ad-
vertising hurts the advertiser far
more than it does the buyer Of the
goods advertised.
This fact is easy TO understand.
A person may be dishonest in a
quiet, sneaky way, for long time
and never actually be caught at it.
But an advertisement is q combin-
alton agreement and guarantee.

A merchant or manufacturer in

That advertisement carries GER

SQUAD IN GREENWOOD
Red Cross and Legion Take Up
Claims of Service Men.

The Press and Banner was in error
last week when it said that the clean
up squad of the American Legion
and the Bed Cross would be in Green
wood Friday and Saturday of last
week. The dates were confused and
the squad will arrive Thursday OF
shis week and will be there Friday
and Saturday, August 26 and 27,
with headquarters at the Community
Hall. The purpose Of the squad is to
establish personal touch with ex-
service men who have or ought to
have claims against the government.
Expenses of the men will be paid
while they are in Greenwood and
railroad fare will be given to re-
turn home. The only expense man
need incur, therefore, in making the
rip is the cost of a ticket to Green
wood. Men from Greenwood, Able
vile and Mccormick counties are
invited to meet with the squad in
Greenwood. Information may be had
here from DR.. G. A. Neuffer. or w. D.

TEXTILE STRIKERS I.
RETURN TO WORK
SIXTEEN HUNDRED OPERA
TIvEs AT CONCORD AND KAN.
q; NAPoLIs RETURN TO LOOMS
WITH TROUBLE NOT FINAL
LY COMPOSED. .

/. Charlotte, N. c., Aug. 20.-Fig-
ures compiled as to the number Of
employees of the six cotton mills at
Concord and Kannapolis who have
returned to work since the reopen
ing Of the plants, figures on which
both factions are practically in agree
ment, show that of the four thousand
who were at work when the six
plants were sut down by the strikers,
one thousand and six hundred are
again at their looms and spindles.
The figures submitted are as follows:
Cannon mill at Kannapolis are
working LOO as against 1900
originally; Cabarrus mill, Kannapo-
lis $50 against 600; Brancord mill at
Concord 80 against 81; Cannon mills
at Concord 125 against $50; Hart
sell at Concord go against 125 and
Locke at Concord $50 against 600.
The situation in both towns today
is reported as unchanged with both
factions eagerly awaiting the arrival
Of Governor Morrison, who is to
speak at 3 o'clock this afternoon,
and make somewhat of a public de-
liverance as tc the rights of the
strikers and their duties as well. The
labor leaders who were instrumental
in getting the governor to come to
the scene of the strike after he had
refused to act on their telegraphic
advices, appear to be greatly heart,
ened. President Barrett Of the State
Federation Of Labor expressed him
self as having made at least some
progress toward reconciliation in
that he had succeeded in impress
ing Governor Morrison with the
expediency of visiting the scene of
the strike personally and making a
popular address.
Governor Morrison is not expect
ed to attempt a mediation of the
differences. He said in his original
statement that the strike represent
ed an economic issue and that he as
governor, could not, therefore, in
tervene.

TESTS IN BOMBING BY AIR
CRAFT ESTABLISH EFFIcIEN-
CY OF BATTLE CRUISER AS.
CHIEF DEFENSE AT SEA, so
SAYS ARMY BOARD

Washington, Aug. 20.-Results Of
bombing tests held off the Virginia
coast from June 21 to July 21 have
failed to displace the battleship from
it's preeminent position as the ma
tion's chief defense at sea. l.. ,s.i Z.
This was the outstanding conclu-
sion Of the report of the joint board
of the army and navy, made public
today by Gen. Pershing, the senior
member, and approved by Secretary
Weeks and acting Secretary Roose-
velt. 4 Z. z
The tests, which resulted in the
sinking Of four ex=German warships
by aerial bombs, prove, however, the
board added, "that it has become
imperative, as a matter of national
defense, to provide for the maximum
possible development Of aviation in
both the army and navy"
The tests proved also, the board
agreed, the necessity for aircraft
carriers of maximum size and speed
an effective adjunct of the feet"
and for, the development of "effec-s
tive anti-aircraft armament"
Instead of furnishing an econom-
ical instrument of war leading to the
abolition of the battleship, the, devel-
opment of aircraft has added to the!
complexity Of naval warfare" the re-,
port stated. Il.
The tests, which were conducted
by the navy, with the cooperation Of
the army air service, were reported
upon separately by army and naval
boards of observation, and these re-
ports formed the basis Of the state
ment issued today.
The joint board included Admiral
R. E. Coontz, chief of naval opera
tions; Major Gen. W. G. Ham, as
sistant to the chief of staff; Rear Ad-
miral C. s. Williams, naval opera
tions; Brig. Gen. Henry Jervey, gem
eral staff, and Capt. w. C. Cole, naval
operations.
The board found that military air.
craft, when used beyond the radius
OF action of shore bases, possessed
"limited assistance to gunnery in the
control jof fire, limited assistance in
the service of information and secur-
lity and important strategical and
tactical qualities in operations OF
coast Defense" but might prove
decisive factor in coastal operations
if used in adequate numbers.

Columbia, Aug. 20.-Taking Off
cial notice of newspaper charges in
effect that South Carolina had abdi-
Gated to mob violence, Governor
Cooper, who returned today from
Paris Mountain, where he had been
spending vacation, gave out a state
ment, taking the newspapers to task
for their utterances. The Chief Exc
cutiye calls on the papers to present
proof Of their charges Or snake due
apologies to the State which they
have slandered."
81 The editorials to which the Gov
erner took exception were published
in The, State (Coiumbia,) The News
and Courier (Charleston) and The
Record (Columbia). These editorials
dealt with the so-ca1led ''hide and
seek" policy of officers who had
charge of the prisoners who confess
ed to killing William Brazell in Lex
ington County, 8. g., IN Sunday
night, August z. 4
= Several nights last week trains
were searched by the mob near Co
lumbia, and the newspapers pointed
to the failure Of peace officers TO
take in hand these men who were
searching trains and also commented
on the consideration shown the men
not bringing the prisoners directly
to Columbia in the open daylight in
defiance of the mob. ..5a.
& The Governor says in his state
ment that he thinks there has been
too much publicity in connection
withsthe Brazell murder. One Of the
chief troubles the officers had, he
says, was that the newspapers print
ed every move made by the officers
sand therefore enabled those who
sought to do violence to the law to
have advantage of advance informa-
ton"

HOME BREW SAFE .

cONFEREES AGREE, ON ANTI
BEER>MEASURE-SAID THAT
STANLEY AMENDMENT ADoP.
TED IN COMMITTEE WILL
BLOCK ACCEPTANCE .s'.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The confer
ence report on the anti-beer Dill,
definitely agreed on today and pre-
sented to the senate, exempts mans
home from search without warrant
obtained in due course Of law but re-
auires no warrant to search other
property divided an officer acts
without malice and has reasonable
cause to suspect the presence of
liquor.
Along with the presentation of the
report word reached the senate that
prohibition leaders Of the house had
declared there would be no recess OF
congress until the measure had been
finally enacted. Senate leaders, on
the other hand, announced that it
was hopeless to expect senate &C.
ceptance in view of the rejection by
the conference Of the Stanley amend
ment, passed unanimously, and de-
signed to protect the home and other
property from indiscriminate search
through imposition of heavy penal
ties.
The only point at issue in final de-
liberations of the managers was the
searching provision. In reaching
compromise both the senate and
house amendments on, the subjects
were discarded. In their place the
conferees adopted the following seec-
ton: - E
"That any officer, agent or en-
ployee of the United States engaged
in the enforcement of this act, of the
national prohibition act, or any 9TH
er law Of the United States, who shall
search any private dwelling as de-
fined in the national prohibition act,
and occupied as such dwelling, with
out warrant directing such search,
or who while so engaged shall, with
out search warrant, maliciously and
without reasonable cause search any
other building or property, shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
conviction thereof, shall be fined for
a first offense not more than $1,000
or imprisonment not more than one
year, or both. ...
whoever not being an officer,
agent or employee Of the United
States shall falsely represent him
self to be such an officer, agent OF
employee and in such assumed char
acter shall arrest or :detain any per.
son, or shall in any manner search
the person, buildings or other proper
ty of any person, shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
conviction thereof shall be punished
by a fine of not more than $1,000,
FOR Imprisonment for not more than
one year, or both"

The man who claimed to be an

supposed to have been from Spar

to know him said that he was the son
of a Spartanburg physician and that
his name really was Adams.

CHANGE IS. MADE p.
IN COTTON RATE
SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD
COMMISSION ISSUES ORDER
REDUCING TARIFF ON SHORT
AND INCREASING TAX ON
LONG HAULS. " ;; r. =

Columbia, Aug. 20.-The South
Carolina Railroad Commission is to-
day issuing an order in which it
grants that part Of the new schedule
of freight rates on cotton proposed
by the railroads which reduces rates
on short hauls, and at the same re-
fuses that part of the schedule which
carries an increase for hauls of more
than 1870 miles. :.
By this order the railroad commits
sion has, according to the impression
held by cotton men, thwarted what
appeared to be an effort on the part
of1some of the railroads to effect a
higher freight rate on cotton shipped
within the two Carolinas.
The proposed new schedule was
submitted by the Seaboard and the
Southern and had the approval of
other roads, it is understood. 1t pro-
posed reduction in rates for hauls
up to 120 miles, but for hauls Of more
than 130 miles it carried an increase
The new schedule proposed a rate Of
10 cents per 100 pounds on cotton
shipped for distance less than five
miles. From ten to five miles the
new rate would have been 211k cents
The present rate for all shipments
under ten miles is 271s. This means
a reduction of six cents on this short
est haul. From this on up to 120
miles the new schedule shows re-
duced rates, the rate for Distances
over 10 miles and under 120 miles
being set at 521s, as compared with
the present Sd for distance. ~,
The new schedule offered to make
the rate for shipments for 120 to 130
miles 55 cents, the same as the pres
ept rate, but for shipments of over
130 miles and under 140 miles the
new rate would have been 571z cents
as compared with the present 56k
cents, and from this on up to ship
ments of 800 miles and over, for
which the new rates would be 76a,
as compared with the present II Y
an increase of five cents per 100
pounds.
The railroad commission had, a
large hearing in Columbia recently on
the matter of this proposed new
schedule, and at that hearing it was
contended that the schedule submit
ted would increase the freight bur-
den on cotton, as there are more
shipments of over 130 miles than
there are for shorter distances. The
railroads had proposed to make the
new rates effective on shipments in
the two Carolinas, and on interstate
shipments between both the states.
h The order of the railroad commits
sion makes effective that part Of the
proposed schedule which reduces
rates, but disallows that part which
would raise rates. It is understood
the North Carolina Railroad Commits.
sion has approved the new schedule.
