To the Editor Of The Star:
YOUR editorial of August %, concern
ing my order authorizing the closing
down of all Works Progress Adminiscra-
ton projects on August 80 so that w. P.
A. workers in South Carolina would be
enabled to vote in the Democratic pri-
mary on that date, has just reached my
attention.
I feel that I am justified in replying to
this particular editorial and to this end
l am quoting administrative order issued
by me in full:
August II, 1898.
ITO: All Area Directors.
From: Lawrence M. Pickney, State Ad-
ministrator.
In order that every one may be gwen
an opportunity to vote in the primary
election to be held in South Carolina on
August 80, you are hereby authorized to
close down all projects on that date and
to reschedule operations in order that
the workers may be permitted to make
up the time lost.
please make the necessary arrange
ments to notify project supervisors in
order that this rescheduling OF project
operations may be made sufflciently In
advance
This order as quoted was sent out by
the Associated Press to all papers in
this State and was so published.
Since have been State admins
traitor of the Works Progress Admins
+,o+o, ~, South Corolino T have followed
the principle of closing down projects in
their right of suffrage in every election
and have required them to make up the
time so lost. so that the order issued by
me as above quoted is nothing new.
I have absolutely no interest in how
these men and women vote, but do not
believe that they should be denied the
right of suffrage just because they hap
pen to be on relief rolls and employed
by the Works Progress Administration.
Under the regulations workers on prof.
ects of the Works Progress Administra-
ton are only paid for actual time worked
and my order simply substitutes another
work day for the date Of the primary
election and by so doing gives the work.
ers the right of suffrage without depriv-
ing them of the small amount they can
earn and which they they so desperately
need
If your paper desires to give fair
and unbiased statement to the public
in regard to this matter, trust that you
will give this reply to your editorial
prominent publicity in your next issue.

Regret.

Regret.
Mongst arts that flourished long ago
We mourn with grief sincere
The art of silence, for we know
Twill never reappear.
At morn the fierce alarm clock rings.
Then bells and whistles sound;
The screaming airplane motors fling
Dire tumult all around.
The trolley and the motorist,
The radio so queer,
Combine all ruthlessly to twist
Your weary aching ear.

Dilemma at kiukiang.

The makings of another Panay Incl
dent lie in the perilous position of the
U. s. gunboat Monocacy at Kiukiang, a
few miles from the scene OF fighting be-
tween Japanese and Chinese farther up
the Yangtze River.
The Monocacy, carrying a crew of As,
was dispatched to protect Americans in
the Kiukiang district several months
ago when the Japanese drive toward
Hankow assumed large-scale propor-
tions, and has remained there continu-
ally since, against repeated Japanese de-
mands that American and other foreign
shipping be withdrawn from the river as
the Chinese retreated.
In the midst of the battle for Kiukiang
in July the Monocacy moved short way
up the Yangtze, but returned to its sta
ton after the japanese had invested the
city month ago and fighting moved
farther westward.
During its stay far up the Yangtze
the gunboat has been unusually fortu-
nate In avoiding mines hidden beneath
the surface of the river Death and
destruction, planted by the Chinese in
their effort to halt the japanese progress,
lurk in it's waters. Now as the japanese
minesweepers ply back and forth ex-
moorings have occurred around the
Monocacy. The Navy reported yester-
day that within a period of four days
fifteen such blasts occurred in the Vi
cinity of the American gunboat.
The dilemma of the Monocacys COM
mander is to avoid these deadly objects
as they come floating down stream, while
the japanese refuse to permit him to
take his ship down the river to Shanghai.
Another gunboat, the Oahu, which was
In the Yangtze at the time of the Panay
bombing, has been ordered from Nam
king to relieve the Monocacy, but the
Japanese continue to withhold permis-
sion for the ship to make the trip down
the Yangtze, on the pretext that besides
impeding military operations of the
japanese, it would subject itself to great
danger from Chinese mines
The japanese are building up another
good case against themselves in the
event that the Monocacy comes to grief
in the Kiukiang neighborhood. Their
excuse, of course, will be that it was a
Chinese mine which did the damage,
and not the japanese. But the stubborn
insistence that the Monocacy not at
tempt to make the voyage to Shanghai
at the present stage of hostilities smacks
strongly of retaliation. There is more
than a suspicion that the japanese high
command, having failed to persuade the
powers to withdraw their shipping from
the river last month, is now striving to
prevent their navigation of it.
The only suggestion that the Japanese
Consul at Kiukiang had to make in
reply to protests from the Monocacy's
commander was that the vessel might
find refuge farther up the river, but if
the perils of navigating below Kiukiang
are such as to prevent the Monocacy
risking trip to Shanghai, they GER
tainly must be greater above Kiukiang,
where japanese minesweepers have not
yet been able to clear the channel
Such obstinacy does little to restore
good feeling between the United States
and Japan, which in any event will take
q considerable time to effect.

Comments on Republican
immortality in Idaho.

AAAlVA amy III
To the Editor of The Star:
pRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has seen fit
to accuse the Republicans of i'm
morality because they supposedly inter-
vened in the Idaho primaries. 1t would
seem that If the Republicans did so they
should be entitled to more credit than
abuse.
A Republican does not relish casting a
futile vote any more than does Demo-
crat 1t is only common sense for over
whelmed minority to seek to ally itself
with that portion of the majority which
in some measure subscribes to the same
views. That is democracy.
We have gone long way along the
road to autocracy when President can
condemn principle of democracy which
is the most important single political
strategy of democratic England and
democratic France. The principle Of
coalition is irrefutable; it is the only
means whereby minority can protect
itself and its interests against the ex-
cesses Of crushing majority.
The voters Of Idaho certainly had the

Ferrel, McCullin Star
I'm Final Thorobred
Scrimmage
Ry A. ]. Richards

FRANKFORT, KY, Sept. 24--With
a pint-size back from St. Louis, Nc
Cullin by name, on the throwing
end, and Husky Bill Ferrell, veteran
back from Dayton, on the receiving
end, Coach Kean's worries seemed
a little bit reduced today, as ne APP
parently had discovered new pass
ing combination. Dividing his squad
into two groups, with q thorough
mixing up of players, he sent his
stalwarts through the final scrim-
mage preparatory for the opening
game on next Saturday.
Once more the Greens" won,
this time principally because of the
presence of Ferrell and McCuliin
on the Green team. Three times
during the encounter, McCullin fired
touchdown passes to Bill Ferrell, the
sparkplug of this years squad. The
first pass was good for 65 yards 1.-THE
run included). The second covered
some so yards and touchdown.
Ferrells pass snatching work to-day
was the standout feature Of the ESQ
shellacking administered by the
Greens to the Whites. Rodgers al
quarter played his usual good game,
and continues to impress in that
position.
To offset the splendid workout to-
dav was d sad note indeed. A serl--
Gus knee injury to Ellis Dggs,
regular guard Of whom mucn was
expected this year, will probably
keen him on the sidelines for the
rest OF the season. A terrible blow
this was to the Thorobreds, inasmucn
ais guards on this years squad were
scarce.

Barsaa State Hornets
ilaish Third Week
OF Training Season

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept. 27
Coach Rufus Lewis and his stan Of
five assistants put their Hornet
nopefuls through a gruelling grind
here last week in settling down to
the serious business of getting them
into shape for the severe test against
Coach Jack Adkins Yellowjackets
up in Memphis Friday night. The
team took last Saturday off to see
the neighboring Tuskegee tigers in
action against their opponents of
this weekend.
Coach Lewis will probably start
seasoned eleven with a few excep-
tions against the LeMoynites, but as
the game progresses there are sew
eral freshman luminaries vino are
likely to see action before all Of the
iiIing is over. There are sure 10 be
two freshman starters-"Fat'' Jenes,
moving up from the "B' team where
his 200 pound bulk was tower Of
strength in the center post to claim
the same position on the varsity, and
either Griggs, Walker or Taylor,
who will take one Of the tackle
berths left vacant by graduation and

two lads and several others have
been showing plenty of stuff in
scrimmages and it seems that the
two-year old tackle problem is near
q solution if they can maintain their
present pace.

Cotton Crop For
State Is Lowest
For Sixty Years

Raleigh, Dec. 14,--Forl the first time
in the States history, the average
yield of cotton is7below the national
average, il being 38 pounds less than
the 1858 pounds estimated for the
United States. The States December
l average is the lowest yield per acre
since 1yH0, when 217 pounds were
harvested The acreage harvested is
the smallest in go years.
A crop of 100000 bales was esti-
mated for North Carolina on Decem-
ber 1, according to the report released
on December g. by the Department of
Agriculture. This estimate is the
smallest for any cotton crop produced
in this state since 1883 and the 857,-
900 acres left for harvest is the small
est acreage since 1878. The report
indicated that growers would harvest
EE5 pounds of lint per acre, as COM
pared with 338 harvested in 1887 and
with past ten year average yield of
274 pounds. The estimated produc-
tion is only 81 per cent of the crop
harvested last year and is Sc per cent
less than the 1927-36 ten year average
North Carolina's cotton crop pros
poets have declined steadily since
September due primarily to boil
Wcevil damages.
