CHINATOWN eERTIE BURIED.
Some Laughed While Others Cried at
The Funeral.

All that was mortal Of Gertrude Mer-
ritt, known to the lowly of New York's
East Side simply as "Chinatown' Ger
tie" was laid at rest last Thursday at
Linden Hill cemetery, Brooklyn. For
years an outcast In the streets and
alleys Of the bowery when that
thoroughfare was the synonym OF
crime and degradation, she became,
almost in a single night, a mintstering
angel to the suffering, an interceder
for the erring a counsellor of the weak,
and an avenging shadow to those who
had broken their promises to- follow
the straight and narrow path.
Funeral services for the woman were
held. last night in the little chapel of
the Midnight Mission of the Rescue
Society in Doyers St, the heart Of
Chinatown. Men and women who knew
her laughed as a score of speakers,
hardened to the ways of the under
world, told stories Of chinatown Ger
tie"
These had known her when she was
q pariah, even on the lower East Side,
and most Of them had been led to bet
ter things by the woman whose flower
covered coffin stood before the little
pulpit. 1t was not all laughter, how
ever, for here and there hands un-
ashamed brushed away tears that flow
ed in tribute to one who had been as
strong in doing good as she had been
weak in following the thorn paved
path.
Tourists who had gone to see China
town tried to get into the chapel, but
only those who were respectful were
allowed to enter. Those who did not
show a real sense of propriety were
cast into the street, and a policeman,
standing near, Wa always looking the
other way when this occurred.
1t was a strange funeral to many OF
the strangers who witnessed it. But
it was a SHINING, loving, remembering
throng that attended. 1t was a little
fragment out of the Kaleidoscope life
of q mighty city, and it was all that
Gertie would have wished.

uNPRoFlTABLE PRODUCTION
Why the Cotton Farmer Loses Out IN
His Efforts.

The editor Of the Dillon Herald
strikes a. keynote as to the reason for
improbable production of cotton, as
follows:
"Men are gathered in convention at
New Orleans to find out why the pro-
duction of cotton is unprohtaole.
Every delegate to that convention
knows in advance why the production
of cotton is Improbable, but 1t does
good for them to get together and talk
it over. Cotton production is un-
profitable because cotton is made with
free labor. The man who runs the
farm works for nothing and makes
his wife and children work for moth
ing. If it is a family or fam
ily-rented farm there is no pay roll to
meet every Saturday night. If Stan
dard Oil or the u. S. Steel Corpora
tion was operated on the same princl-
pie they would have gone into the
hands of receivers long ago. If a
man owns or rents n farm he ought
to get a salary for operating 1T. II
his wife and children are required to
work on the farm they should be paid
the same wages they could earn in
some other kind Of employment.
Every day. Of free labor the owner or
renter of the farm and his wife and
their children give to the farm is a
contribution to the world. Every year
since the close of the Civil war the
South has contributed millions of dol
lars to the world through the free
labor of it's women and children.
Taken in the aggregate it has been a
! tremendous drain on the resources of
the south, and if the south had not
been blessed with marvellous natural
resources it would have gone into
bankruptcy many years ago. That is
why the production Of cotton Is un-
profitable.
When the Southern farmer gets it
under his skull-cap that he and his
family are just as entitled to a living
wage for the labor they use in pro-
ducing their crop as the labOrer in
any other industry is entitled to such
wage and then by organization puts
himself in position to demand that
wage better times will be just around
the corner for him and his family
and cotton production will cease tc
hc Improbable.

Shoot to kill orders were issued last

any; but there is room for more and
still better attention to both places.
Bethesda shows more neglect than
any other cemetery in the county
There are thousands of dollars OF
headstones there that have fallen and
broken to pieces, and others that are
inclined in the same direction. 1t Is a
pity to see such neglect"
,. The Homo Town.
Here" said one this morning, 'fs a
bit of verse by Edgar A. Guest in which
he describes the home town. It fits
yours and mine wherever 1t may be
and know it will be appreciated:
It doesn't matter much be its build I.
ings great or small,
The home town, the home town Is
the best town, after all.
The cities Of the millions have the
sun and the stars above,
But they lack the friendly faces OF
the few you've learned to love,
And with all their pomp Of riches
and with all their teeming throngs,
The heart Of man Is rooted In the
town where he belongs.
There are places good to visit, there
are cities fair to see,
There are haunts of charm and
beauty where at times it's good
to be,
But the humblest little hamlet sings
a melody to some,
And no matter where they travel It
Is calling them to come;
Though cities rise to greatness and
are gay with gaudy dress,
There is something in the nome
town which no other towns
possess.
The home town has treasure
which the distance cannot gain,
1t is there the hearts are kindest,
there the gentlest friends remain;
IL is there mystic something seems
to permeate the air
To set the weary wanderer to wish
ing he were there;
And be it great or humble, it still
holds mankind in thrall,
For the home town, the home town
Is the best town, after all.
Boil Weevii a BLESSING.
Speaking Of the coming Of the boil
weevil," said a farmer in an adjoining
county, do you know that many peo-
pie who have lived or done business
in counties where the boil weevil has
done his work regard the weevil as a
blessing in disguise. I was talking re-
Gently to gentleman in Rock Hill,
who has money to loan and who told
me that recently an eastern capitalist
wrote him wanting him to handle $780,
900 or $1,00o,OO0 have forgotten which,
on farm lands around Rock Hill. The
agent wanted to know on what basis
the capitalist wanted to loan his money
and was told to make $50 an acre as a
general basis although the agent would
have to be governed by circumstances.
Then the agent wanted to know IL the
capitalist didn't fear the boil weevil
and the reply was: Not bit of it.
If 1 loan this money in Rock Hill /
don't expect to be paid for couple OF
years or more. BY that time farmers
will be down to business and the period
Of reconstructive farming will be well
under way. BY that mean that the
men who own land but who are not
content to sit on goods boxes in stores
and let the colored tenants run the
farms while they run the government
will get down to business after the
boil weevil eats things up once or
twice. Then this country will bloom
like a rose"

Rock Hill Case May Come Up.
There is considerable speculation
here as to whether or not the case of
the state against NJ. F. Owens charged
with assault and battery with intent
to kill In connection with his shooting
at Policeman s. M. Williford on the
streets here several months ago will
come up for trial in the court of gen.
eral sessions In Yorkville next week.
The defendant gave bond shortly after
the trouble and in view of the fact
that few cases are tried at the April
term where the defendant Is on bond
there Is little probability that the case
will be tried.
Farmers Signing UP.
Farmers in the vicinity Of Rock Hill
continue to sign agreements to market
their cotton crop through the coopera-
tive marketing plan and those inter-
ested in soliciting signatures are well
pleased with results obtained thus far.
1t is stated that many more farmers of
the eastern section have signed than
have ip the western section Of the
county. 80

fact that he was acquitted this week
Of nfansiaugiiterS in connection with
the death Of Miss Virginia Rappe, a
moving picture actress in Los Angeles,
CAL, some time ago. One of "Fatty's'
pictures was shown by local moving
picture theatre today and judging from
the size Of the audience, the fact that
Arbuckle has been the subject of much
unsavory publicity Of late and that his
reputation as a moral leper has been
firmly established, did not serve to
keep the crowds away. Most of the
folks who are condemning Arbuckle
are people who do not go to the movies
anyhow" was the comment Of the the
atre manager. .i..

There are numbers of forward look
ing farmers in Cleveland county who
believe that Mr.. B. Weevil Is going to
put quietus. on the cotton growing
industry in that county sooner or
later. Instead Of weeping about it
they are looking now for something
else. So tobacco cultivation is being
slowly introduced. A number of pro-
gressive farmers have planned to go
into 1t this year and there will be
many others to follow. 1t Is said that
there is no reason why tobacco cannot
be grown in Cleveland county and in
northwestern York county for that
matter as we'll as it can be grown in
