PERIOD OF

Sweden Expends $4,000, 900
to Provide Work for job
less; Conditions Improved

Stockholm, Oct. 5.-The balancing
of accounts at the end Of the worst
period OF unemployment which Swe-
cen has ever weathered shows the
following debit and credit: total
public outlay of $30,O00,000 to pro-
vide work for the jobless, about 1900
miles of new and improved roads,
many new bridges, new telephone
lines, forty-six new athletic fields,
new aviation fields, new barracks,
extensive forest improvements, and
reforestation and opening up o.
lalge new tracts of arabic land.
This information is the result Of
researches made by two leading
Stockholm newspapers on the occa-
ION OF reporting the lowest amount
of unemployment during two and
half years, the figures now being on
ly 10000 as against 10000 in Feb
ruary, 1922. Practically all of the
large funds expended have been for
constructive relief work, while stead
lily decreasing sums have been set
aside for direct subventi6n. At

Man Who .ThreShed

London, Oct 6.-The death occur

whereas it was worthy of special no.
tice, for he succeeded in accomplish
ing what thousands Of Americans
have itched to do but could not, he
gave the boy who later became Ger

ing.
1 It happened years ago when Will
helm was the Crown Prince and was
visiting Ilfracombe, an English sea-
side resort, with his tutor. Wilhelm,
in a playfully destructive mood, be-
gan to throw stones at some bathing
machines belonging to Mr.. Prices
father. He was told to stop, but
teok exception to this infringement
Of his regal rights. Young Price
took off his coat and began to be-
labor the royal youth SO successfully
that he had administered black eye
and several cuts and bruises before
the tutor succeeded in calling of
hostilities.

ATTENDANCE
AT OPERA IS
ON DECLINE
Fine Opera House in S. A.
Does Not Attract Best of
American Artists

Buenos Aires, Oct. 5.-This city
possesses one of the finest opera
houses in the world, the Colon. Of
recent years the attendance has de-
creased steadily until today the man.
agement is confronted with serious
financial difficulties.
Various arguments have been ad-
vanced to account for this condition,
the local business depression and a
change in the public taste since the
war--but the most popular answer is
that the United States is making
opera too expensive for the rest of
the world.
America attracts the best artists
with high salaries, and even in the
summer time, it is alleged, famous
singers make much money from con-
cert. tours and working for phono-
graph companies. Hence they have
no inclination to come to South
America.

Law To Regulate
i" Use OF Narcotics

Port-Au- Prince, Oct. 6.-The Hal
tian Council of State has passed
law to regulate and control the ex-
portation, Importation, possession,
use or sale Of narcotics, poisons and
habit-forming drugs in Haiti.
The specific purpose Of this leg
islation is to prevent the possible
use Of Haiti by German firms as a
base for the distribution of marco
tics. Previously there was no law
Of any description bearing on the
narcotic problem and Germany, not
being signatory to the Opium Con-
vention, was steadily increasing it,
imports of such substances. The
passage of the act has made Haiti
eligible as signatory to this con-
vention.
The new law is based on that
which controls the use of narcotics
in the United States, with certain
notifications to fit local conditions.

NEGRO EDITOR ADMITS ARTICLE WAS ILL-ADVISED
Feeling Relieved At AnniSton
 Over Attack On "White Peoples Religion"
ANNISTON BUREAU I
 THE AGE-HERALD ! AnniStOn, Ale, Sept, 20 ]
fnnltn q.

A feeling of tensity between white and negroes, which has pre- vailed in Anniston for the past week, was relieved partially Thursday by the publication of a long article in the paper written by T. J. Jackson negro, who publishes a weekly known as the Observer In last weeks issue of the negro paper an editorial appeared, which not only criticised the religion of white people, but advised all negroes to stay away from Gypsy Smiths spe- cial service being arranged for the negroes of Anniston next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock
 The article of last week not only criticised the element which has en- tered into the Gypsy Smith meet ing but such issue was general with specific conditions in Admission. The negro editor took the position that white people could not work for God successfully while negro chill dren seek education in poorly Venti- lated and unsanitary buildings.
 When a committee of ministers and laymen, Wednesday afternoon, waited upon the negro editor with the request that an explanation of the editorial be given the public, it became known that the editor had received a letter of advice through the mail that day. Jackson ap- peared at the Anniston Star Thurs day morning with a written state ment in which he considered the ar ticlc i'll timed and ill advised, and at the same time that he had writ ten the article without consulting any of the negro leaders of the city.
 E. Julius William, member of tho inter-ratial executive committee for Alabama, Thursday published a statement fin which he said the edi- torial in the negro paper did not reflect the true sentiment of right thinking negro citizens of Anniston and it is believed the welfare work er's letters on the subject will have & marked effect on the sentiment aroused by the negro editor in his last edition

The increased price of cotton will will offset the loss farmers of Nor gan county will suffer from decreased acreage. it was indicated Thursday by local bankers. The picking sea = son is moving forward rapidly and in not more than week large move ments of cotton will be under way to the market.
 Reports today gleaned from the four local banks gave the opinion that farmers probably will not suf- fer a great deal of financial loss be- cause of the ravages of the cotton pest The bankers reports business is improving throughout the county. Whether short crop with higher prices makes more money for the farmers than large crop with 8 lower price prevailing is a mooted question but after surveying con ditions in this section carefully bank CTS were willing to be quoted to the effect that if the present price is maintained or goes even higher most of the farmers will realize all the profits they had anticipated when planting was begun.
