Running true to form of irrational
ity more than one radical and un-
American newspaper in this country is
persistent in its criticism of America
for its refusal to recognize the alleged
government of Russia. Apparently
these papers are unable to see, or at
least, overlook the fact that since Rus
STA fell into the hands of the Bolshe-
visits the world has had no proof that
she has had government but all the
proof in the world that she has not.
And it is sort of hard to recognize the
uon-existent-is it not;
In addition to being on her way Rus
STA must know where she is going be-
fore she calls herself a government.
Bolshcvism and government are two
different things travelling in opposite
directions. In other words a "Bolshc-
visit government" is a contradiction of
terms
& first requisite of government is a
tangbHty of responsibility. Before 2
government responsibility is possible a
people must organize itself on politi-
cal, social and economic principles that
make possible and induce law, order
and Justice among its citizens alike in
Their private and public relations. 1t
mus, recognize and uphold the indi-
yiduas nyiolabIc proprietary rights in
the Just fruits Of his labor, cXacting
thereof only a just 1.-THE in support of
the law that protects his life, liberty
and personal property rights.
On these principles only can human
government permanently organize as a
going corccrn and realize responsible
ity to itself and to the world
Now, it is on a basis in scorn of these
principles that Bolshcvist Russia is
claiming to have established a govern
ment which she, and few damphools
automatically speaking outside of
Russia are asking the sane nations OF
the world to recognize.
Indeed, to recognize the so-called
Bolshcvist government considering
the sclf-confcssed principles upor
which 1t is founded would be equal tC
committing the absurdity of negotiat
ing an understanding with the inmates
of a lunatic asylum through a "conf
dcncc man" acting as their agent.

YOU ARE WANTED
For What? To Be Good Fellow"
and Work Together for the Upbuild-
ing Of the Town and Community.

The Post-Dispatch last week told
of the formation of a Good Fellows
club for Rockingham. Much inter
est is being taken in the idea, and
the paper hears on all sides en-
thusiatisc approval of the plan.
There is nothing close about the
plan. No membership dues-no ELI
gibility list, no red tape. The idea
is simply for every business man
in the town and community to meet
together twice q month around a
big table eat the luncheon, get bet
ter acquainted, create a closer feel
ing, arouse a keener civic pride and
band together for the development
of Rockingham. From this twice a
month meeting there will no doubt
be formed a Chamber of Commerce
and other agencies for town better
ment.
The idea is to hold a midway
lunch, from 1 to 2 o'clock every 9TH
er Friday, at the Rockingham hotel.
The cost will be $100 per person,
of which so cents goes to the hotel
for serving the lunch, and the re-
naming 80 cents to the club treas
ury.
The first lunch will be on Friday,

GINNING FIGURES
7,64O,S70 Bales Cotton for the South,
and 1903 for Richmond County,
Ginned to Dec. lst.

The Government issued its
ginning figures this morning,
giving the total amount of cotton
ginned up to Dec. Isl as 7,640,870.
This compares with 10,144,921 to
the same date last year, 8,844, 900
to same date in 1919. The GIN
ming to this date last year was
very large, but then the entire
crop was large, the total yield be-
ing 13,365,754. In 1919 the total
yield was 11.420,763.
From the above figures it can
be seen that last year 3,220,833
bales were ginned AFTER Dec.
1st. In 1919 the number ginned
after Dec. 1st was 2,576, ,763.
The question now is: how many
bales remain to be ginned of this
present crop. 1t looks like the
total yield will be 100000. In
Richmond county there is practi.
cally no cotton to be ginned,
whereas last year there was
about 5000 bales ginned after this
period, and the year before about
2100. 12,308 bales were ginned
in Richmond county up to Nov
14th, and 1903 to Dec. 1st, this
being 785 bales ginned in the
period from Nov. IA to Dec. l,
There will hardly be more than
$50 bales yet to gin.
In this connection it is interest
ing to note that exactly two years
ago the price of strict middling
cotton at Rockingham was 38c,
and December futures was 37.05.
Last year on the same date
strict middling was 13c at Rock
ingham, and December futures
1867. Today strict middling is
16ac in Rockingham, and Decem.
Der futures 1882.

FATAL ACCIDENT
Claude Misenheimer Killed Wednesday
in Steele's Township When Log Pole
Strikes Him on Top Of the Head.

A most distressing accident
occurred in Steele's township
Wednesday afternoon about 4:30
o'clock when Mr.. Claude Misen-
heimer met a sudden and tragic
death. He was hauling logs to
the saw-mill of his father, Mr.. J.
D. Misenheimer. In adjusting
the pole that acts as a lever to
hold the log in place, either the
rope or chain broke, with the
result that the pole flew up and
struck him with fearful force on
the head. He lived scarcely 20
minutes.
He is survived by his wife and
two children. The funeral was
held this Thursday afternoon
from the Presbyterian church at
Mount Gilead.

Gypsies Rob Farmer.

A band of Gypsies numbering
probably 80, including children, was
camped last week on the Rham-
Cheraw road OIL the Tom Horne
place, about miles from Rocking
ham. On Thursday of last week
Alec Purhealth, of the Osborne sec
ton, passed by the camp and was
stopped by number of the camp
ers. One, a girl, pursuaded him to
show her his money, to amount OF
$106. He became uneasy and de-
manded his money back. She hand
ed him back $66, and upon her re-
fusal to return the balance, he came
to town and got out a warrant
against her. Sheriff Mcdonald went
with him to the camp, and after
some conversation Alec and the
Gypsy band settled the matter by
returning TO him $25. They claimed
this was all that was gotten from
him. Rather than go into a trial
etc, Alec agreed to take what was
offered and drop the matter.
The outfit with its filth and dirt
broke, camp next day and wandered
eastward.
