The town of Faith was incorporat ed March 9th, 1903, R. A. Raney was the first mayor. John T. Wyatt was the first town clerk. H. A. Wyatt was the first policeman. Today, August 11th, 1917, there -Are about between 500 and 6do in habitants. Nearly everybody owns their own home and nearly everybody |n and near the town, make their liv ing working in the granite quarries, Ixcept the ministers, the doctors ana Merchants and a few retired farm* srs. The town of Faith is six miles |outh of Salisbury, on the Mt. Pleas ant big road. The six mile post ip In the center of town. Faith is sit uated about the center of the gran \ -a . . ~/ ite belt, which is fifteen to twenty miles long and from one and a half, to two miles wide and on thia granite are hundreds and hundreds of the fin est quarries in all the wor’.d and sever al large fine quarries inside of the cor porate limits of the town of Faith, and some of them are in operation to day. Several years after the Civil War a young man came into the settle ment and taught school and boarded among the scholars. Some time later he married the oldest daughter of E. E. Phillips, Esquire, and when his father-in-law E. E. Phillips, died, J. T. Wyatt bought the granite quarries and tools and all appliances and con tinued the making of the old time stationary mill stonee for corn mills. All about in the woods and fields cbuld be seen large granite boulders. Many of them were larger than dwell ing houses. Then there was large flat ledge of many acres of solid granite all about over the country all lying idle, not a hammer or tool had ever touched this great deposit of granite and when J. T. W yatt look ed over these milee and miles of beau tiful granite he thought that it could be put on the market perhaps and something made of it. Then he com menced to write to different cities all over the United States to see if he could get them to give him an order for a sample car load of street curb ing. At last he got the city of Char lottesville, Va., to give him an order for a sample car load and when they received it the city was so well pleas ed with they sent an order right back to J. T. Wyatt for several more car loads and this was the beginning of the great grinite industry now going \on here in Faith and all along the granite belt, and J. T. Wyatt is con sidered the father of the granite in dustry here in Rowan county. The granite belt runs from northeast to southwest through Rowan couty and this section on account of the large output of granite, is becoming one of the most prosperous and wealthiest settlements anywhere in the State of North Carolina. And the business will continue for many generations, and the people will be living in beautiful homes built of granite in a hundred years from now. Some beautiful homes are already built of native granite. And the Reformed Church here is built of native granite. It is one of the most beautiful churches to be found in North Carolina. Lots of church people come here from other counties to examine it and find what it cost, to see if their con gregation can put up a church like it. Faith has a Baptist Church, a Lutheran Church and a Reformed Church. The Baptists are now pre paring to build a new church in the town of Faith. Faith has five stores, two eating salons, two barber shops, one furniture store, one garage, besides a large number of beautiful granite quarries all about in the woods, and in the fields. And J. T. Wyatt, the man who started up all this granite business is still living in the town of Faith and is the oldest man living in Faith to day, August 11th, 19^7. Work goes on all the year round in the quarries, winter and summer, ex cept when the ground is covered with a deep snow. John T. Wyatt is the man who dis covered the beautiful pink granite quarry near Faith and bought four acres and operated it for several years and while working it furnished all the granite to Geo. W. Watt, the millionaire at Durham, to build his beautiful mansion which stands there today as bright and beautiful as the day it was built, as the pink granite doesn’t change its color. This beau tiful pink granite quarry is now owned and operated by a rich company since J. T. Wyatt sold It and they have up a crusher and all kinds of machinery and are getting out the finest monu ments #nd vaults to be found in the United States for the millionaires and rich people up North. The pink granite is the only deposit in the world like it, beautiful like a peach bloom. VENUS. GEORGEVILLE, Mr. and Mrs. L. A.

Charlottesville, Va., Aug. 17.—G4>) —The greatest menace to our liber ties are ignorance of what is taking plade in public affairs and Indiffer ence to public responsibilities, Daniel C. Roper, former United States com missioner of internal revenue, said here today in addressing the Univer sity of Virginia Institute of Public Affairs. No person Is worthy of the benefits of American citizenship who persistently refuses and avoids the at tending obligations of bis citizenship, he said. “These obligations involve observ ance of the law, keeping before the people the sanctity of law and order; taking proper personal interest in public affairs and casting ballots in the interest of what he intelligently believes to be the interest of the coun try,” he declared. Political parties, the speaker said, serve useful purposes, which he out lined as follows: To outline public policies; to edu cate the voter as to these policies J to formulate into law proper policies and wisely administer such laws in the interest of justice and equity; and as checks and balances are most im portant among human beings, a po litical party out of power should ex ercise wisely the right of criticism against the party in power ; and thus endeavor to see to it that the basic principles of government are proper ly interpreted and conformed to. 73,000,000 TREES PLANTED IN 1936 _____ X Progress in Forestry Legislation Told in Report of Association Survey. Washington, Aug. 17.—Considera ble progress this year in the enact ment Os forestry legislation is record ed in the annual Forestry Legisla tive Survey of the American Tree As sociation. Delaware, Florida and South Car olina joined the States having fores try organizations, bringing the total to, forty-two, while Nevada and Utah enacted legislation dealing with the subject but, like Wyoming and Ar kansas, established no organization to conserve and develop this natural re source. The survey shows that 73,000,000 trees were planted during the year and that the area of State forests was brought to a total of 6,838,936 acres. Pennsylvania held the lead in tree planting, setting out 27,916,029, fol lowed by New York with 22.000,000 and Michigan with 10,000,000. Penn sylvania also led in forestry appro priations, with $1,203,485. Charles Lathrap Pack, President of the association, in announcing com pletion of the survey, asserted that the “Mississippi River flood has directed the attention of the Nation as noth ing else could oo the need of provid ing forests at the headwaters of the Mississippi and its tributaries. ‘This phase of flood prevention, while it will not stop floods, will aid in preventing them,” he said, ‘‘and is the only one I know of that will pay dividends in future years.” BLAMES CRASH ON DEAD MAN Collapse of Raleigh B. & L. Laid to the Late J. B. Robeson. Raleigh, Aug. 16.—A dead man, J. B. Robeson, former secretary-treasur er of the organization was today blam ed by Stacey Wade, state insurance commissioner, for the collapse of the 1 Raleigh Mutual Bunlding and Loan association. The association closed its doors Saturday. In a complaint, asking state courts to name a receiver for the concern, Commissioner Wade, alleged Robeson, at one time president of the Raleigh Real Estate and Trust company, made collateral promises without authority of directors of the association and had put notes secured by second mortgages, payable to the Raleigh Real Estate and Trust company into the treasury of the loan association. The dead man was also charged by Commissioner Wade with “making promises he could not fulfill,” with the result that shareholders started a “run” on the association. Naming of Paul F. Smith, a di rector in the defunct association, as temporary receiver, drew criticism from several share holders, Japan and China. Youths Companion. A new complication is introduced into the Chinese situation by the act of Japan in hurrying thousands of troops into the .Shantung Peninsula Japan, it will be remembered, actually occupied Shantung for several years during and just after the war, and, though it eventually surrendered con trol to China, Japanese commercial interests are still very large The Japanese government does not mean to take any chances with regard to those interests, and, as the nation alists advance toward Shantung, Jap anese troops are being poured into the peninsula to protect Japanese ware houses and factories from the danger' of looting and destruction. This makes the nationalists very angry; for they say—and no doubt be’ieve— that it is all part of a Japanese plot to get possession of Shantung again. There has npt as yet been any col lision between Chinese and Japanese troops, but the possibility of a clash exists, and if it comes it might lead to a sensational change in the char acter of the fighting in China and in the issues that are at stake there. Bomb Threats Made If Reds Die In Chair. New York, Aug. 16.—The police re ported today that annonymous threats of renewed bombing if. Saco and Van zetti are executed have sent to a number of prominent persons and cor porations.

Their Present Inquiry. . “Buyers of cars are more par ticular nowadays than they used to be,' are they not?” we asked. “Oh, yes!” responded the dealer. “While they used to ask all sorts of questions about the mechanism, power, and so forth, now all they want to know is ‘what i« absolutely the lowest advance payment I must make?’ ” Successful merchants, and manufae jTirers spend more money in advertis ’og their when business is poor than when it is good. Western Stanly Writer Tells About Strange Discoveries Made in Mound t Stanley News-Herald. 1 The. discovery of the mound near | Norwood and the discussion which ’ has since gone on as to whether the | strange little hill is a natural one, or whether it is a mound or pyramid | built by some far off prehistoric race of people, has brought to attention still [ another one near Coble’s Mill, which, | from relics found, is beyond question a burial mound. From one of our Western Stanly reporters comes the following interesting story about this strange pyramid, or mound; • “Near the bank of Rocky River, on the Union county side and. about half a mile below Commissioner Coble’s mill, is a strange mound that evident ly holds an interesting story of past ages. This strange mound, or what was once a mound, is located in the center of a level piece of bottom land on the estate of the late Rowan Dry. This swell of land is about fifty feet long and perhaps twenty-five feet in width, and in itself might excite little attention, as it might have been thrown up by some unusual flood in the past. Says a son of the late Mr. Dry: ‘When a boy, I often barked my shins, or hitched my plow against a smooth square stpne rising upright in the center of this mound, and standing about one and a half feet above the surface. At last, being vexed very much, I decided to dig down and remove the stone, which proved to be some task, since it extended some six feet into the sand. However, being somewhat curious as to the meaning of a stone of such smoothness, and symmetry, standing upright from a ted of pure sand, I kept to it, until at the bottom of the stone I unearthed a fine specimen of urn or bowl, about twelve inches in diameter, and*perhaps six to eight inches deep. Inside this ii 1 ■ 1 - J” - 'J ** "' 'J MJULS EXPLAIN WHY THEY CALLED FOR THE SOLDIERS Claim Strikers Were Preventing En trance to Mill Premises, and Civil Authorities Were Unable to Cope With the Situation. That Was De veloping. Henderson Dispatch. A formal statement, the first to come from mill sources since the strike at South Henderson commenced eight days ago, was given out today by S. P. Cooper, president of the corpora tion, in which he undertook to explain why the directors of the mills called for the soldiers. „ It is stated that the situation was becoming threaten ing, and that civil authorities were unable to continue in control. The full statement follows: “Between nine and ten o’clock on Thursday morning, August 4, the operatives in Harriet Cotton Mill No. 1 walked out. Harriet Mill No. 1 was immediately closed down, and there was no violence or disturbance. Har riet mills Nos. 2 iand 3 continued to run and the operatives on strike began congregating around the g tea of Har riet mills Nos. 2 and 3, and their demonstration first to get the employ ees in Mills Nos. 2 and 3 to stop work and later to prevent them from work ing by preventing them from going into the mills and by threats and in timidation continued to gradually grow in size and force until the operatives of Mills Nos 2 and 3 were either un able to enter the mills or were afraid to approach the gates. The yaVl hands who were at work in Mill No. 1 un , loading cotton and the firemen who were keeping up steam for the pur pose of maintaining fire protection only, were driven away from the mills. At noon on Monday, the Bth, it was necessary to close down Mills 2 and 3. The foreman of the yard hands was forcibly prevented from entering the mill property and driven away with threats of violence. The strikers refused to let trucks or teams enter the premises and made the truck driv ers and operators leave the premises with orders to stay away. “On Monday the Bth, the chairman of the county commissioners and sheriff were called into consultation and informed of the situation and ask ed to take proper steps to prevent any disorder. The sheriff deputized 12 men and instructed them to use every precaution that could be calculated being out of the county on business, to avoid trouble or disorder. “At noon Wednesday, the Sheriff his deputies came in and reported that the situation had gotten beyond their control. This information whs con curred in by the superintendents of the mills. The deputies stated that most of the extra deputies had already turn ed in their badges; that they were powerless to control the crowd ; that the crowd numbered - around three hundred, and were in a very ugly mood; that the strikers had stated that no one else could go on the mill premises, and that any attempt on the part of the deputies to carry a watchman or fireman into the premises would precipitate serious trouble; and that any effort on their part to make any arrests or to enforce law and order would result in loss of life and rioting; that under the circumstances , they did not feel that there was any possibility of their handlihg the situa tion, and they could not get deputies to go with them to render sufficient assistance, to handle the situation, and requested that the military company he called out. After consideratioh of these statements by a full board of uirectors, Lieutenant Colonel James W. Jenkins was called in and all par ties concurred in the necessity of this request. At the time the military compamy went out to the property, there was a large crowd estimated at from three to four handred preventing anyone from entering the property and making threats of violence against the superintendents and other workmen and officials of the mills.’’ Most of State’s Fatal Wrecks Due to Speeding. Raleigh, Aug. 15. —Speeding was the principal cause of fatal accidents on North Carolina State highways during the aix-month period ending June 30, ,1027, according \o a sum mary of eau*>es of seventy fatal ac cidents made public by the highway commiesien today. •» - * Out of seventy fatal accidents speeding caused 23. Eleven wen caused b» reckless driving, nine by intoxication and eight by careless driving. The others are c’assifie as follows: Railroad crossings five; cars park ed on highway three; blinding tight-*- three; unknown reasons three; two; children playing on highway two; fau*'t of car, two. The Likeness. Bhe—Ton remind me of the sea. He—ild, romantic, relentless. "No—V>u just make me sick.’’ was another perhaps the size of an ordinary tin dipper. Between the two, was a peculiar substance very much like crumbled chalk. Leaning against the upright stone, at an angle of perhaps fifty degrees, was a short flat stone, evidently placed to shelter the pottery, and under this stone I noticed the dirt was of a peculiar grayish black color, very unlike the gaud, which fact led me to the con clusion that a human body had teen interred with the pottery.’ On being questioned as to what he did with his find, Mr. Dry said the urns were used for feed and water troughs for pig, puppy and chickens about the farm yard, until broken, after which the good housewives of the community used the pieces as markers when lay ing off lines on their quilts in the process of making. Around this up right stone was a dozen -or more smooth flat stones, that had fallen down, or had been knocked down by the plow in times past, but other than these there was- not a stone in sight. What is it? Perhaps a tribal burying ground with the chief in the center. Perhaps some prehistoric tenpple of worship. Who knows but that thefee urns held the ashes of some mighty personage of a long gone civilization What a pity they were destroyed, since they might have proven of price less worth. Only excavation under the direction of a competent geologist can tell the tale. = “Anyone caring to visit this inter esting bit of wonderment, may call at Commissioner Coble’s mill and inquire for Mr. Dry who lives just across the river at the old homestead, and he will be cherrfully directed to the interest ing spot, and all details told for the asking.” BABY BORN AFTER MOTHER 18 KILLED Birth by London Surgeon's Operation Followed Death by Seven Minutes. London, Aug. 16. —The successful birth of a baby, through a Caesarian operation, seven minutes after its mother had teen run over and killed in a street accident here —an almost unheard-of piece of surgery—is now the talk of the British medical world. Mrs. Nellie Easton, the eighteen yearo-ld wife of an unemployed paint er’s assistant, was expecting to be come a mother in about three weeks. She had made all arrangements to go into an east end maternity hospital in a fortnight and had bought the ex pected baby’s outfit. She told her landlady July 29 she was going to buy a white dress for her coming child but was advised, in accordance with Ideal superstition, to wait until the baby was born 'or it might prove un lucky. Early that evening, while • crossing the street, Mrs. Eaton was run over by a motor truck, the wheels crushing her head. The body was carried in to the nearby office of Dr.. Mintzban two minutes later, where he immedi ately realized she was head. Recog nizing the condition she had been in, and recalling one such case in medi cal history about sixty years ago. Dr. Mintzman at once decided to perform the Caesarian operation in the hope of saving the child. Seven minutes later he brought a baby girl into the world. The infant was half suffocated, but a£ter two minutes of artificial respiration and hot and cold water applications she showed signs of consciousness. The doctor wrapped the child in cotton wool and rushed her to the hospital, where she was placed in an incubator and completely covered. She then weighed five pounds and fourteen ounces. She still lives and shows ev ery indicat’on of continuing to do so. Dr. Mintzman, who is honorary clinical assistant to the London Jew ish Hospital and assistant medical superintendent of the Greenwich In firmary, has been complimented “by a number of his medical colleagues on his triumph. Dr. Bellingham Smith, the well known London obstetric surgeon, in praising Dr. Mintzman said: “I can not recall a case in which a child has teen delivered alive after such a lapse of time. It is rarely in cases of th'.s kind that it lives. Cases where the mother is killed in an accident on the point of birth are so rare that this birth must be almost, if not absolute ly, unique.’’ WINSTON POLICEMAN DIES FROM INJURIES Motorcycle Traffic Officer Was In Collision Thursday; Negro Out on $5,000 Bond.
