Some Comments From NOvus
Homo

Waxhaw. r. F. ID. l., Nov. l3.-we
notice we" typist accused US in the
headline of saying that the old time
arithmetic covered the entire gram
mar course" That was a dickens of
an arithmetic, wasn't it?
Seems like the farmers have "over-
did" the sweet potato business al
ready. That's what happens too oft
en-. If we produce stuff in any rea-
sonable amount, it's not wanted. If
we do not produce, we "ought-to-had."
In other words, it looks like we'll be
damned if we don't and we'll be
damned if we do.
There has been some objection to
cooperative marketing on the ground
that the arrangement gives the pro-
ducer too much advantage over the
present force of business men. II
would seem that the present force of
business management has invented
the new undertaking on the part of
the producer, since if they will not
handle the peoples products, then the
people will, Of necessity have to find
a way to handle them themselves.
This is day Of specialization, and
maybe we are going to have 20 spe-
cialize in farming as well as in other
things.
Mr.. S. A. Latham of Buford has
taken the proper stand in behalf of
the renter. 1t is encouraging to ten
ants when landowners speak out thus
frankly in their behalf, and we hope
he voices the sentiment of other land
lords when he expresses the purpose
to take chances" with the renter. If
Mr.. B. Weevil dips too deeply into the
cotton yield, there may not be enough
left to pay the fertilizer bill and the
taxes, in which case a vital economic
fact will present itself with sufficient
force to command consideration, az
ter which there will be more to con
sider. We talked with a land owner
recently who is frank to admi: that
of the produce from ex-
hausted land will not pay the land
lords part of the fertilizer bill. the
taxes and leave enough to keep up
buildings and maintain
them. What's the remedy? Answer:
Smaller farms, better titled, and sys-
tematically improved from year to
year.
Governor Morrison overspole him
self when he showed that property
1ad been exempt from taxes for state |
purposes in North Carolina. lie may
Is well, in fact, did in substance say,
he rich have been exempted, for if |
property does not pay the tax, where
loes it come from?
There is only two sources Of tax
ltion, one Of these is property, the
,ther is labor. The rich own the
the poor do the labor; see

WOMAN. 10i YEARS OLD,
Is BAPTIZED AT CASAR
Bedridden. a Portable Pool Had 10 B.
Taken TO Her Bedside-Family,
Al First, Objected.

Greensboro, Nov. 9.-Mrs. Susan
Pruett, lOI years old. bedridden and
partially helpless, was baptized No
vember 9th in portable baptismal
pool, which had been mounted on a
truck, and hauled TO the door of her
home IN the little town Of Casar. near
here.
Doctors had warned her that the
shock of complete immersion would
IN all probability cause her death.
Members of her family tried to dis
suade her from the ordeal. but she
was adamant in her refusal.
A thousand people gathered from
all the countryside, crowded about
the pool into which she was lowered
and, as she was lifted out, broke into
hymn.
About four months ago Mrs. Pruett
fell and broke her hip. Since then
she has been unable to leave her bed.
as the fracture ia led properly to knit
because OF her advanced years. She
Is woman of the pioneer tyne and
has been the hardest sort of a work
er all of her life. She brought up
her family to attend church and.
while always active in humanitarian
work, she never herself enrolled as
member of the recognized church.
While lying bedr,dden and helpless
the thought came to her that she
desired baptism in the Baptist faith.
She told the members of her family
OF this desire. They frowned on il
because they feared it might mean
her death, and their objections were
indorsed by the family physician. But
she would not be dissuaded, and she
sent for Rev. J. F. Weathers, pastor
OF the Pisgah Baptist church, and
told him of her desire.
Immersed in Pool
II obviously was impossible to take
her to the baptismal pool in the
church edifice, so the minister devised
a way Of bringing the pool-one sim.
liar to it. at least to her door. He
had canvass vat made and mounted
this on a truck. Then it was filled
half full of water and hauled to the
door OF the Pruett dorstep. Water
was heated there and the temperature
raised to body warmth.
Six men then went into the house
and brought Mrs. Pruett out on
sheet. They lowered her into the
water until only her face was above
The surface. The Rev. Mr.. Weathers,
reciting meanwhile the ordinance of
baptism, thrust her heal very gently
under, so that immersion was COM
olete, as required by the ehu,ch doc
lrine. Immediately thereafter she
vas carried back into the house and
given medical attention. 4
Died Forty-Four Yeags Ago
Many in the throng expected the
ordeal would be too much, but the
faith that moves mountains" pre-
'ailed, and she was smiling as she
feebly tried to join in the hyman of
praise that swelled from those about,
who felt that they had observed al
most miracle.
There is no doubt of Mrs. Pruett's
lge. She was married at eighteen,
md her husband died when she was
lxty-forty-four years ago, as the
ecords on file attest.

George Tchitcherin, head of the
Russian delegation in the inter
national conference, today handed
a note to the Italians stating that
Russia could not accept the allied
plan for a commission to study the
Russian problem at The Hague

upon the commission.

The proposal rejected by the Rus.

the allies Sunday night. 1t calls for
a meeting of the big five'-England,

at The Hague on June Is to appoint
a commission to study the Russian

in the negotiations, but no reply is
expected for several days.

A supreme crisis marks the
