Mr.. FUNSTEN'S INTEREST

Hon. o. Herbert Funsten's letter
of recent date contains much food
for thought. He is one of our most
liberal and progressive white citizens
and he has shown a most humane
and charitable interest in our people
We suggest that Mr.. VIM. A. Jordan
and his associates, the Baptist Min
listers Conference of Richmond and
vicinity, the Rev. w. L. Ransome,
d. D., president; the Richmond In
ter-denominational Ministerial AL
lance, Rev. r. M. Williams, D. D.,
president, take the matter up with
this distinguished Virginian with a
view to advising him upon civic i'm
provements that need immediate at
tention.
The securing of that independent
unit of the traffic light system at
Second and Leigh Streets is proving
to be of untold benefit to this section
and will no doubt save lives and pre-
vent casualties. On the part of our
people, we thank Mr.. Funston and
the Department Of Public Utilities
for this recognition of the part of
the city closely populated by our
people.

VIRGINIA COTTON REPORT

The Virginia cotton crop declined
during September owing to I'M
favorable weather conditions and
the October list forecast of the
Federal-State Crop Reporting Ser
vice of 10000 bales is 1000 bales
below the September estimate but is
still 1000 bales over last years
production. The hot, dry weather
the early part of the month caused
shedding of bolls. The boil weevil
has appeared in larger numbers
than usual and in most of the
Southern section of the Virginia
cotton territory the weevil will
cause considerable loss this season.
Very little cotton had been picked
prior to October LIST, and the gin
ming report showed less than 400
bales, compared with 900 bales
ginned to the same date last year.

A REMARKABLE CASE

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
is scoring heavily in practical
ly every case it has seen fit
to back with its legal staff, influence
and finance. The case of Ben. Bess,
reported from Columbia, South Caro-
lima, is without a precedent, so far
as we know within the legal annals
of this country. Having been con-
victed of an assault upon a white
woman and having served thirteen
years of the thirty years sentence,
upon the affidavit from the white
woman saying he was not guilty OF
the crime, he was pardoned by Gov
ernor Richards.
syme one got her to repudiate the
confession after Ben Bess had been
released from the penitentiary and
Governor Richards, revoked the par
don or attempted so to do, Bess be-
ing reincarcerated in prison. An APP
peal was taken to the Supreme Court
of South Carolina and the court
ruled that a pardon once granted
cannot be revoked, even though
fraud in it's issuance be shown.
Bess has been released Whether
he will remain in South Carolina is
a question for him to consider. Most
people, who know South Carolina
and it's lawless elements would be on
the move in an effort to reach the
North Pole, if they could get that
far in safety.

REPLY TO GILBERT

BERLIN, Feb. 2.-Since an inter
national committee of experts has
been named to meet in Paris in
/ February to elaborate a plan for
solution of the reparations prob
lem, the Germans are collecting
data to demonstrate that the coun-
try is not so well off, as shown by
the report Of S. Parker Gilbert,
agent general for PREPARATIONS.
Mr. Gilbert is told by the press
that he has not looked deeply
enough under the surface.
A series of figures purports to
show that railwaymen work %
per cent harder than in 1913, min
ers produce 81 per cent more, en-
gineers 40 per cent and metal
workers even 43, while wages have
risen only from to 10 per cent.
and the consumption of various
household staples, such as meat,
coffee and cotton goods, has fallen

with pre-war years.
This diminution of purchasing
power is regarded as a serious
problem.
Prof Gustav Cassel, the Swedish
economic expert, is widely quoted
for his view that if the payment of
Dawes annuities is to be continued
with borrowed money, time will
come-after 10 to 20 years, accord
ing to interest rates-when Ger
many will be burdened with a new
foreign debt.
The annual service of that debt
will equal the present Dawes pay
ments and absorb the whole of
Germany's capacity to pay. leaving
nothing for the Dawes payments
themselves, he says.
