Bolshevik Slaughter.

The bloody "terror'' of the
French revolution caused the legal
execution OF 1900 persons and
the death by other means of per-
haps two or three times as many
more. What of the Russian ter
ror? The Paris Gaulois publishes
figures concerning it that would
seem incredible if it were not said
that they are taken from the re-
ports OF the extraordinary com
mission printed in the Soviet
newspapers. Since October, 1917,
there have been executed, says
The Gaulois, 20 bishops OF the
Greek church and 1,2l5 priests,
GIFTS professors and school teach
ers, $500 physiciaHs, 54,65O army
officers, 100000 soldiers, lO,5OU
police officers and 4S,5OO privates
IN the constabulacy force, 1880
land owners, 355,250 other mem
bers of the "intelligentsia" and
o. the middle class, 1913, $50 work
ingmen, $3.50 peasants. If the
statistics are trustworthy, the
Bolsheviki have killed more men
III Russia than were killed in the
French army during the World
war.

trying &c work off their goods on the
unsuspecting public.
The white carnation Is now the
only Mothers day emblem, and 1t is
only as u design of this symbol.
Flowers. are not used in any
way for Mothers day. and the waste

ways has the name Of the Mothers
Day International association on the
inside. No other badge has any sig

GOES TO REWARD.
Life Of James Martin Armstrong,
Confederate Veteran. Ends.

A440 VI ObucS MAI t1u AIQSt(OQR,
Confederate Veteran, Ends.
The life of another survivor of
the once mighty armies OF the
Southern Confederacy ended Sun
day night when James Martin
Armstrong, we'll known and
highly esteemed citizen of Fort
Mill township, dod at the home
Of his son, Lee r. Armstrong 2.
two miles south of town. MIR.
Armstrong had been in declining
health for several months and his
family had realized for some
time that the end was not far
off. He was born in Fort Mill
township on March 10, 1874, and
was therefore i'll his 18th year.
Mr.. Armstrong was married in
1865 to Mrs. Julia Patterson, who
died 3O-odd years ago, but Of
their marriage he is survived by
two sons, Lee K. Armstrong and
Sam {. Armstrong, both OF Fort
Mill township, and a number of
granddaughters. Mr.. Armstrong
had been a member of the Meth.
odist church for many years and
also was a member of Catawba
lodge No. So, A. r. NJ, for the
last 40 years. The funeral serv.
ices were conducted at the home
of Lee r. Armstrong by his pas
tor, the Rev. w. h. Bouknight,
Monday afternoon, after which
the body was taken in charge by
members of the Masonic lodge
ard inferred in the city cemetery
with the funeral rites of the
order.
Mr.. Armstrong had spent all of
his long life, except the three
years he was in the Confederate
army, in Fort Mill township. he
was an hOnored, upright citizen,
whose exemplary nte won tor
him in- full measure the friend
ship and esteem Of his neighbors
and acquaIntances. In recent
years Mr.. Armstrong had not
been a frequent visitor to Fort
Mill, but or the occasions when
he did come to town he always
found friends ready to welcome
him and to express the hope that
his health was good and that he
had left many years of life. The
large attendance at the funeral
and the numerous beautiful flv-
raj offerings attested the respect
and esteem of the people of the
community for him.
Yesterday III speaking of Mr..
Armstrong; record as a Confed-
crate soldier one of his comrades
said that no truer or more de.
vcted youth stepped forward at
the call of his native State to
face death OH the battlefields of
Virginia and other States than
Mr.. Armstrong. AS boy II
years old he enlisted in the Sixth
South Carolina regiment. He was
soon transferred to Virginia and
there participated in a number of
the major engagements of the
war. At Seven Pines, the Seven
Days Fight Around Richmond,
ThOrougfare Gap, South Noun
tain, Sharpsburg, Fredericks-
burg, Lookout Mountain. the Will
derness. Spottsylvania Court
house, Cold Harbor, Petersburg,
New Market, and in numerous
other battles he did his full duty
as soldier and was with the i'm
mortal Lee at. Appomattox on
April 9, 1865. ......-.

FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

From The Nations Business.
 Less than one-third of the banks in the United States are members of the federal bank system-less than 10.- 900 out of more than s0,oo0. They represent. however, about two-thirds of the country's banking power. The others are state banks, trust com panies, and stock savings banks, about half of which are ineligible for membership. Nevertheless. it is to the member banks chiefly in New York, that the other two-thirds turn whenever there Is a profound busi- ness depression such as that from which the United States Is now emerging. A preponderance of nom member banks is in the distinctly agricultural sections. Adverse criti- cism of the system, and some mis- representations, as well as the po- litical demand that the President be required to appoint a farmer 10 the federal reserve board. have been voiced most loudly by men from those sections in which the banks have the least representation and the smallest investment in the system, compared to their opportunities. This is not an argument that they should have larger representation in pro- portion to the number of their banks.
 Even in Iowa and Alabama, for i'm stance, less than one-third of the banks belong to the federal reserve system; in North Carolina, only 16 Fer cent of all banks are members: The figures are as of June 30, 1920.

FINAL CO., OPERATIVE
 HOG SALE AT TROY

Troy, June s.-(Special.)-The last ro-operatiye hog sale of the year will be held next Wednesday. June [, at the cooperative hog sales pens in West Troy. It Is likely that farmers will take advantage of this and bring in a large number of hogs.
 That the farmers of Pike county are awake to tho value of co-oper- ntive marketing is evidenced by the way that they are signing up con- tracts for the pooling of their cot ton market. More than 200 farmers have already signed up and many more are ready to sign, but the rains and muddy roads have kept the workers from getting to them. How ever, in the past week 500 more bales were signed up. bringing the total number signed up in Pike county to above the 5000 bale mark.
