INVESTIGATING
MATTER OF NOTE
FOUND In BOTTLE
HAVING KNOW
LEDGE OF MISSING PERSON
BY NAME OF JOHNSON
ASKED TO REPORT

Further investigation into the
matter of the message found in
a bottle on July 10, by Miss Sally
Taliaferro at Haven Beach bear
ing a message signed Watson and
Johnson, is being made by J. l..
Rainier, stepfather of George
Watson, who was lost in the hur-
ricane of September 2, 1885
Mr.. Rainier called at The Citi-
zen office this afternoon and dis
played copies of the Tampa pa
pers in which the message first
appeared. A copy of the mes
sage was carried in the issue of
The Citizen of July 81 and is as
follows:
"Plenty water. No grocery.
Watson and Johnson, 6, 81, IS"
Mr.. Rainier has a facsimile of the
note and after a careful study OF
the handwriting has decided that
the writing is not that of George
Watson, but feels that johnson
may have written the note, and
there may be some person who
knows of a missing johnson and
be able to determine if he is the
author of the message.
To this end Mr.. and Mrs. Rain
err are asking all persons who have
any knowledge of a missing per-
son by the name of Johnson and
are familiar with his handwriting,
to call at their home, 143O Thomp-
son street, and determine, if pos
sible, the identity of the writer of
the note.

becoming more and more inter
ested IN how to make successful
marriages.
Since a course on Marriage and

years ago, the enrolment for il
has increased from 20 to 60.
The summer course enrolment
includes one grandmother, married
and unmarried students, widows
and divorced persons. Some of the
students are from homes where
divorces have occurred.
Problems of courtship and
marital adjustments are discussed
in the lecture course offered to
advanced students. The origin and
development of the family are
traced, with special attention to
present-day problems.
DR.. Coyle E. Moore, who holds
a Phi. D. degree from the Univer-
sity Of Chicago, is the instructor.
DIR. Moore, married and the faith

the Florida conference on social
work and is a member of the state
board of public welfare.
divorce never is brought about
by one single cause. but is the re-
suit of a combination of things -
DR.. Moore said.
"The most important trait to
remember in marriage is to be
able to sit down and approach
problems nationally.
Birth, marriage and death are
the most important events in a
persons life.
. about the first and the last,
the individual has no choice, so it
is highly desirable and important
that he or she give the utmost at
tention to the most important of
the three-choosing a partner for

Parallel Paths Part In Green
Lewis Split On Labor Issue
Many Different Views TAX
en- Relative To Activities
Dealing With Organized
Bodies
By SIGRID A,RNE.
ely Associated I'reSsl


WASHINGTON, July 31.-At
90, stocky, urbane William Green
is experiencing his most tur.
bulent days since he became La
boris official spokesman in 1924
when he succeeded Samuel Com
pers as president of the American
Federation of Labor.
In Washington's sticky heat he
mops his round, rudy face in day
long conferences with union chief
tains. He pleads for peace in la
Dor ranks, and worries, privately.
about a possible split in the A. F.
of LIS three million and a half
workers.
His principal worry is a man
beside whom he has fought
through critical strikes and with
whom he worked for liberal labor
planks in the NRA codes-John
L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers, who has defied the
A. F. of l.. by moving into the
nations steel centers to organize
steel workers into a huge indus
trial union similar to that of his
own 100000 miners.
Loyal To A. F. of L.
Lewis believes industrial unions
which band together all workers,
skilled and unskilled, are more eff
tective weapons i'm fabor's strug-
gle for higher wages and shorter
hours than the traditional craft
unions.
The A. F. OF L., at it's last con-
vention, voted two-to-one against
a wholesale organization drive in
steel that would ignore craft
unions among the skilled workers
in the industry. And Green is
noted for his conscientious observ-
ance of the letter of the law as
laid down by the federation. He
is, he says, 'its servant"
So recently he called meeting
of union chiefs from which issued
an order to Lewis to disband his
Committee for Industrial Organ
ization.
Shortly Green received an offer
from Lewis to desert the A. F. of
l.. and take the leadership in the
c. /. 0. group. Then Lewis of
fered a war chest of 100000 to
organize steel, provided it was
done on the industrial union plan.
Green ignored the offers.
Forsakes Ministry
Green himself has known the
hunger and hardship of a working
mans home. The son of an Eng
lish miner who lived at Coshoc-
ton, Ohio, he went into the mines
as boy of Is.
The injustices he saw there
lured him from the Baptist min
istry, for which he was studying,
to an interest in economics. 1t
led him into union work. At 81
he was elected to the Ohio state
senate and there won fight for
the Ohio workmen's compensation
law which was hailed as extreme
ly progressive.
Then he turned back to union
ism, becoming secretary-treasurer
of the miners. working side-by-
side with Lewis, their president.
Since he came to Washington
as the A. F. OF LIS president his
affable manners and urbane APP
pearance have made him a fami-
liar figure at the capitals func-
tons, social and official.
Each year since 1924 the fed
Grafton has reelected him its
president as matter of course.
And each time his name was
placed in nomination by the deep
voice and scholarly English of
John L. Lewis.

Within the next month or so, the

is urgently requested that every

to make preparations and contribute
in some way or other to this conven-
ton and make it the best ever held
in the county.

to emphasize the fact that this con-
vention is under the supervision of
the state and that it is absolutely
''non-denominational," Every church
organization in the county has cor

in view of the fact that our whole

HelpCropR Recovery

Frank Parker, Federal-State crop
statistician, said during the week
end that rains general over most of
the central and eastern North Caro-
lima since June 10 had caused livery
fine recovery of crops which had
suffered seriously from drought"
After a trip into the Piedmont
section last week, and from reports
on conditions in the East, Parker
said he thought the drought had
definitely been broken except in
scattered areas such as a strip along
through Union and Mecklenburg
counties.
Stands of some crops were weak
but replanting of corn is underway"
Parker said. Cotton and tobacco are
coming out nicely. Late corn is do
ing well. Pastures are recovering
rapidly. Estimate of $50,000,000
drought damage in the State in my
opinion are fading fast"

Surplus as Grounds for

RALEIGH, June 2O.-North Caro-

ing certain July l surplus is the
first year of a biennium which is
booked to produce slightly less than
the second year which ends the fiscal
part of the Ehringhaus administra-
ton.
While a state campaign RACES
about the governor and the COVER
norship the sturdy overplus pleases
nightly and seems to make solid
appeal. The cash balance fell nearly
a million from $2,918,687.11 as of
May l, to the $1,917, 427.11 mention
ed. Heavy warrant disbursements
demanded by the season carried the
surplus and receipts for May from

So, 1908, 798.42.
The fiscal year began with a cash
overdraft of $2,31O,4O7.25 on July /,
1885. That deficit has been absorbed
without resort to borrowing and
swallowed up in the healthy reve-
nues of the succeeding II months.
The sales tax of course, has done the
work and the new biennium begin
ming July l, 1887, unquestionably
will be financed without an exemp-
tionless sales tax. The recent Demo-
cratic state convention in its plat
form pledged repeal of the sales tax
on "all necessities of life" There is
at present terrific verbal prize fight
