July 4. — CA 3 ) —One of the things to be especially remembered in j the deliberations of the naval limita tions conference, a British statesman has declared, is that the fleets of Great Britain and the United States never will war against each other. The spokesman was speaking in formally on the necessity of striking a mutual balance on mutual needs, emphasizing that thi* country was seeking a large flotilla of cruisers be cause she required them to protect her commercial fleet, which he described as the life-blood of the British em pire, and not for offensive purposes. The spokesman pointed out that the United States had more destroyer* than any other nation. He presumed this was because she needed them, and he contended that Great Britain’s great need for cruisers should be sim ilarly recognized.

HERE FERGUSON MET OFFENSIVE Shaft Marks Spot Where Americans in Revolu tion War Halted British Under Ferguson. (By Staff Correspondent) Little Switzerland. X. C.. July 4. Future travelers will pause at Gill espie (Jap, three miles from here, in the heart of the Blue Ridge, to read the story of how. on Friday. Septem ber 21), 1780, sturdy mountaineers : passed the *pot on their way to de feat General Ferguson and his British force* at King's Mountain. This bit of history is writ on a bronze tablet fastened to a granite shaft, which was formally unveiled at 11 o’clock today in the presence of a large company of people. Mountaineers were there, with their families, having come from the hills and valleys round about. Lim ousines belonging to city folk were parked along the way, as their owners and occupants joined with the hillfolk And paid homage to their ancestor* who not only defeated Ferguson but who gave the world a line of posterity that helped to make up the 30th di vision which broke the Hindenburg line iu France during the World War. A bountiful pienjic dinner followed ex ercises featured by addresses by for mer Governor Cjamerou Morrison and' Brigadier General J; Van B. Metts. Music, both vod-al and instrumental, enlivened the occasion. Governor Morrison’s address was a tribute to the “Heroes of King’s Mountain” and General Metts' trib ute to the mountaineers of the 30th division. The exercises were presid ed over by Judge Thomas M. Pitt man, chairman of the North Carolina Historical Commission, and the an nouncements were made by Associate Justice Heriot Clarkson, member of ~:taijqpMweM*»~ iJoJlawing *»u*iv py the Spruce Pine band, the invocation was delivered by Rev. .Tames Thomas, pastor of the Chestnut Grove Baptist Church, and the benediction was pro nounced by the Rt. Rev. Joseph M. Blount Cheshire, D. D.. bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of North : Carolina. The monument w’as unveiled by the following young women: representing the United States. Miss Kimesia Henry; representing the South, Miss Anna Jackson Preston, great grand daughter of Stonewall Jackson; rep resenting North -Carolina, Miss An gelia Morrison, daughter of former Governor Cameron Morrison; repre senting the mountain people, Mirfses Virginia Queen and Edith McKinney : representing western North Carolina. Miss Isabelle McCall; representing Little Switzerland, Miss Carolyn Chal mers Jvirkpatrick. Former Governor Morrison paid a glowing tribute to the mountain men who left their home* in the cause of independence and joined forces with their sturdy neighbors and friend* in their march to the south to face the British forces. He gave an outline of the campaign and mentioned the leaders. These included many whose names have been permanently honored through the naming of towns and counties in the Carolinas and Ten nessee. General Metts said in parts: “The monument unveiled today rep resents the 'first and the last’—the Revolutionary War and the World War —the first a fight for the inde pendence of our country against Brit ish oppression, and the last a fight against the German aggression and the liberty of the world. ‘lt is a strange coincidence that to day.” General Metts continued, “in commemoration of the heroes of the historic battles fought in this vicinity and of those who fought in the World War, we find it was on Friday. Sep tember 29. 1780. that a large body of the American Army passed this spot on their march to the battle of King s Mountain; and it was just one hun dred and thirty-eight years later, Sep tember 29. 1918, that the 30th Di vision, composed of men from North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennes *ee, broke through the Hindenburg de fense and gained their objective, com pletely routing the enemy and open ing the way to the armistice. “Those men who fought the Revo lutionary War suffered many hard ships, due to the lack of food and clothing, but with all the modern im plements of use in the World War. and the terrific bombardments, even ten miles behind the front lines, the men had food, clothing and medical attention. “The 30th Division was made up of two brigades of infantry (59th Ten nessee and South Carolina) (60 Noith Carolina regiment) a brigade of field artillery. (North Carolina and Ten nwsee) and other smaller units. This "division organized at Camp Sevier, South Carolina, went through a period of intensive training, embarked for overseas service early in May, 1918, landed in northern France and was assigned to a British command. “The field artillery of the division went acros* later and was used in ' the American sector, hence never re- ~ CONCORD, N.

Raleigh, July 4.—Now that the j railroads are to be allowed to ex tend their service by bus lines over the highways of the state, as is per mitted by the State Corporation Com mission. in allowing the Seaboard to operate bus lines from Rutherfordton to Chimney Rock, Lake Lure and Boone, will the next move on the part of the railroads be an applica tion to extend their freight lines by I motor truck, and remove the last I oportunity for competitive service? There is by no means a unanimity j I of opinion in Raleigh, or in the state. | it apjiears. that the Corporation Com mission has acted in conformance with '■ a desire to render “the best service," I as it say*, ip grunting Jhe petition • of the Seaboard to ojiernte its own bps lines. True, rt may be for the “•best service” of the Seaboard and the direct territory served by it. But. whether it will be for “the best ser vice” of the people of the state as a whole, remains to be seen. For many feel that had this railroad petitioned for permission to extend j I its rail lines to certain points, over j its own right of way, that the granting of the petition would have been j justified; but who also feel that the i commission has not been entirely j justified in granting this railroad the use of the public highways, in lieu lof an extension of its own lines, j Esjiecially is this true in the face of i the contention that existing bus lines | are supplying all service, j The commission, however, held that the existing bus lines were supply ! ing a local rather than a through ser j vice, and it seems to have been on | this point more than any other upon which the situation hinged. But the j bus lines are far from satisfied, and | I General J. Albert Cox, who represent j ed them at the hearing, has annouuc j ed that the tight will be carried into j the courts, via the injunction route. I if necessary, before the bus lines will cease their fight. But assuming that the railroad will win out eventually—and the railroads generally do —having gained the first point of bus exnension service for pas sengers, why not a supplemental truck service for freight? In other words, why not a short line railway service over every highway? So it is the precedent involved in the situation, and not merely the in- , stitution of one or two bus lines, that i is muking people think. At first, bus lines were instituted ! in response to the demand from the j public for better transportation ser : vice, and which the railroads would j not at first provide, until the bus lines forced them to it. Now that this bus service has become establish ed through private enterprise, the | roads now wish to step in and benefit i from it, many believe. Atul through this latest decision, they have obtain ed- an important toe hold Thus, within the next few years, I as short rail lines becomes unprofit able, why cannot these roads ask for and obtain permits to give the same | transportation service, both passenger ! and freight, by bus and truck t It i would be a distinct advantage to the i ■; —= ENDS HIS SERVICE AS MERCHANT DIRECTOR Mr. Leonard.

There would be no expensive and extensive -rolling stock to keep up—merely a fleet of trucks and blisses. Yet virtually the same revenue could be expected. But such a move would prove ruinous to the farmer, it is pointed out by those familiar with one of the | farmer's greatest problems—market- j ing. For at present, out of every I car of ruit or vegetables which a S North -Carolina farmer ships to Philadelphia or New York, out of each SIOO which the carload of pro j duce brings at the final destination.. | the farmer receives but $40 —most of! : the remaining S6O going to the rail j roads for transportation. These fi- ’ | gures were brought out this week at tho refrigeration hearing before the Interstate commerce Commission fx aminer in Wilmington. However, the farmer has one means still left him to combat rising rail transportation Cost—and that is mo tor truck transportation. The result is that already in many communities farmers are organizing and operating j regular truck lines to the larger mar keting centers, on a cooperating basis, on which they are earning real divi dends. besides placing their products , on the market from 12 to 24 hours quicker than they could if they shipped | by rail. Another advantage to the farmer in particular, but to any shipper, of ship ping by truck, is the elimination of , haulage to and from the railway. For { the truck delivers directly to the door !of the purchaser, without any re handling. „ Only a few people realize to what i an extent shipping by motor truck has grown in this state, except the railroads. And they are doing every thing they can to improve their ser vice, so as to hold their business. For they realize that they have al- ( ready lost the local passenger busi ness to the bus lines, and the freight , and through passenger business is all th*it remains. And it is the freight that is most profitable. But during the strawberry season , that has just passed, regular through shipments were made by truck to Philadelphia and New York, more than 2,000 cases of strawberries hav ing been shipped direct by this means. And without exception, the motor truck shipments reached the market from 12 to 24 hours ahead of the refrigerated freight shipments. And on the return trips, the trucks brought I crates that sold for less than half the price of new crates shipped by rail. Thus it is that the farmers of the state, because of the good highways which have been built from their i taxes, have a means left them where- I by they may compete with the rail -1 roads, and thus force au equable ad ! justment of rates. But should the corporation commis sion ever permit the railroads to oper ate motor truck freight service oyer the state —which would not be an im possible assumption in view of the recent bus decision —the last means of competition would be removed, and shippers everywhere would be at the mercy of the railroads and their rate makers. the editorial office of The Carolina Retailer will continue in Statesville.

Chicago, July 4. — UP) —Premature celebration of Independence Day caus ed several deaths and many injuries throughout the country although the fatality list was small compared with some previous years, due to stringent fireworks laws. In Milwaukee the police conducted a vigorous campaign against violators of county and city fireworks ordin ances, arresting more than 500 persons up to last midnight. The law prohibits premature celebrations of the holiday and outlaws certain explosives. In spite of- the- precautions five ymrt+ts were burned by fireworks Sunday and six lives were attributed to celebra tors. The first death was reported Sat urday from Tramway, Wisconsin, where Arnold Ford, 8, was killed when he put a giant fire cracker in an empty gasoline storage tank, causing an explosion when gas fumes were ignited. Harold Behling, 14, was seriously injured at the same time, and young Ford's parents were burned in attempting to rescue the boys. A smewhat similar accident at St. Louis resulted in the death of Haden Harris, 12, who succumbed to burns suffered when he shot a blank cart ridge into a gasoline can.
