from his office in the concession

removed his hat as We entered the
shack. He was ordered to stand to
one side while my card was exam
ined and I walked on into the
alleyway, standing in the open door
from where I could watch the scene
inside the crowded shack.
The Japanese, still seated in his
chair shouted at a Chinese police
man.
Search him." he said, motioning
toward House.
House was ordered to diSrobe.
He was compelled to mfasten his
trousers and let them fall around
his angles. The Chinese policeman
ran his hands over the Briton's
body, while the coolies in line a
few feet away stared.
Remove your shoes" the Japa-
nese said curtly.
House took off his shoes and
socks. He was ordered to remove
his coat and to dump the contents
Of all of his pockets on the floor
of the shack.
While he stood with his trousers
around his knees, the policeman
pulled his shirt tail and lifted it
up even with his shoulders.
Then House was ordered on his
way. He slipped his bare feet into
his shoes and carried his socks,
coat and hat through the door into
the alley. There he dressed in full
view of everyone on Woodrow Will
son street
Returning later to the concession
through another gate, the Japanese
sentry merely glanced at my pass
and, in japanese, asked; You are
an American" then I was permitted
to continue. House said that he did
not intend to return to the con.
ceSsion for few days.

Saying. in efefct. that oratorical

Vance county cotton farmers have
been given a 1910 allotment of s.
1851 acres, according to announce
ment today by E. Y. Floyd, AAA
executive officer at N. c. State Col
lege. The allotment list gives no
comparative figures for 1899.
Growers here, as elsewhere in the
cotton belt, will vote on Saturday,
December 9, in referendum 10 de-
termine whether they will ask the
Federal government to invoke quotas
for 1916, and it is taken for granted
the referendum will be favorable.
Floyd said every cotton farmer in
the State will know his individual
acreage allotment before he votes.
The 1910 State allotment Of &c.
543.7 acres is substantially the same
as for 1899, and all cotton grown on
the acreage apportioned can be sold
without penalty. The State quota
has been divided among the 70 coun-
ties where cotton is grown, on the
basis of past paintings, and in turn
is being apportioned among the in
diVidual farmers.
In the Vance neighborhOod Of
counties, allotments made include:
Franklin, 19,981.6 acres; Granville,
2,295.5 acres, and Warren, 10,932.8
acres.
Vance is one Of the smaller cotton
growing counties, and the amount Of
cotton produced here has been grad
ually declining for the past several
years, because Of weather or gov
ernmental restrictions and because,
at least during 1889, much Of the
acreage was transferred to tobacco,
on which there were no controls
Robson county received the lar
gest allotment, 54,614.9 acres, fol-
lowed by Cleveland, with 51,O911

Talking Of
Repeal

A petition for an election on
whether or not to abolish liquor
stores has been signed py a suf-
f,cient numper Of people in Frank

until preparations can be made, and
at the request Of the officials OF the

ccived here today.
The State organization takes the
position that the winning OF such
an election in a liquor county is too
important to take chances on losing,
once the campaign is begun, 1t is
said. Data on results Of the opera
ton of the liquor stores is desired
before the election is held, and a
field man Of the dry forces is to be
assigned to assist in the work. State
dry leaders are represented as OF
the opinion that dry victory IN
one or more Of the present II liquor
counties would make return to pro-
hibition certain. 1t is held that such
a victory in two or three OF the
counties would encourage others III
the group to hold elections, ana IN
fluence the next General Assembly
to order a Statewide referendum
whereby liquor stores would be
closed in all counties.
These State leaders are repre-
sented as believing, too, that the
LIQUOR forces will not call any more
elections 1t is further in
dlcated that they believe the present
IS the opportune time to strike, and
