Editorial Pag It is beginning to be time for the president and congress to take ac tive measures against hoarders and profiteers who are running the cost of living so high that middleclass business nien and salaried people cannot afford the necessities of life. Prices are enormously high and go ing right on up. We cannot expect any thing but strikes and unrest as lung as this condition prevails. Strikes are the greatest nuisance the country knows today and have even bordered upon a menace to our great commonwealth. With Eu ronean matters nretty well 'in hand it is high time that the reins of government be taken fully in band and some careful driving done for 8 seuson. Regulation of some sort must come. It is inevitable Wages are already too high but no higher than the necessities of life. And as long as necessities continue to soar so long will laboring men clamor for higher wages. The whole indus trial and commercial world has lost its equilibrium and gone wild. It is more as an engine when the gover nor belt runs off with a full head of steam up. The firemen continue to fling in coal. It is up to Congress to pull that fireman away and put that belt back on before the nuts and debris flying in every direction results in more disaster than we have ever figured on.

Both Taunt and Ed Gilbert, the only eyewitness, declare that they didn't hear any report of a gnu and could see nobody close enough by to have done the siiootinc notwithstanding the boys were in an opening suffici ently distant from any building or other obstruction, save weeds and other crops, to have made it necessary for the assailant to have been somewhere within an open radius of where they were at the time Taunt was struck with the bullet. Taunt walk id back to his home, about an eighth of a mile, and told his mother that he was shot. His father, G. C. Taunt, weave roo'n foinman at the Phenix mill, was called to the home and Dr. Anthony call ed. Tlio doctor found it neceS' sary to tike Uih boy to a hospi tal for an operation. He look tin boy and bis father to the hospi tal at Oastonia wbere a 22 cali bre short bullet was taken from i,he right side of his abdomen The bullet cnteied to the right of the spine and passed almost through the body. It is thought that unless complications set up the boy will recover. The whole affair is shrouded in mystery. The two boys, Ar thur Taunt, who received the wound, and Ed Gilbert, 17 years old son of John Gilbert, foreman man of the card room at the Pbenix, it is said went into Ar thur Oantt's store and bonpnt some candy and went out and down the road toward Crowders Mountain. The boys both desig nate a point three or four hun dred yards down the road where an old road turns off to the right as the poiut where the bullet struck the bov. Ed Gilbert said that be heard the "zing" of bullet, which appeared to be coming from a northeasterly dl rection quartering across the road and that Taunt said I'm shot, let's go home", Ed said that he looked at Taunt's back and saw a bloody spot, that be went out Into the big road and looked all around and saw no body anywhere except a man sitting on the roadside about 500 feet away in the direction of Prank Turner's house. The two boys went baca to Taunt's home. Both boys tell tbo same story. Neithe heard any report of a gun, neither saw an f body, and neither knows any reason why anybody should have wanted to shoot the boy, and both identify the place of tbe affair. Officers were soon on the scent- and have been hard at work on a solution of the mystery. GOPORTH-GOFORTI1 Mr. Charlie A.

BELL STUDENTS HAVE BIG DAY HERE The first formal meeting of the W, T. R. Boll Memorial As sociation was held in the grad ed school building here Tues day pursuant arrangements made at a meeting of a few form er students of the late Capt. W. T. R. Bell held in Carlotte last spring. There was quite a large representation of those who at tended the Old Kings Mountain High School during the years from '76 to '87 when Capt. Bell conducted in. Kings Mountain the only school of mnch moment in the county, It was easy to see that while the bones of the late educator lie yonder under the mountain side that his lifeh yet going on in the lives dbf tboe whom he taught. Tim main ob ject of the meeting was to deter mine upon a form of memorial to be ejected by the former stud ents to the memory of the t. sett er they loved so well. Two prop nsitions were under consider ation, a monument of stone to the grave, and a scholarship in soma educational institution. Both were in favor. After brief discussion it was decided to do both. A subscription was start ed and $350 was subscribed to the monument fund and $175 to the scholarship. Tho following committee was appointed by Chairman Jno. V. Schenck of Lawndalo to select a monument and ha', e it erected as It was considered that $350 was suffi cient for that pnrpose; S. N. Bovco, R. L, Siowe, Jno P. Schenck, R. L. Kirkwood, J. H. Quinn. A .most excitant dinner was served by the ladies. Mr. R.L. Kirkwood of Ren- nettsville, S. C is secretary of the Association and a most splendid man. Not only did he subsi.ribe to the fund hut endow ed a scholarship in the Kings Monntain High school to be known a the Hell-Kirkwood Memorial scholarship. Mr. Kirk wood was a student under Capt Bell here ard did barber work among the boys to pay his wsy, He went into business and ha succeeded. He maintains a schol arship in Wofford College, sup ports three missionaries In the foreign fields at a cost of $2800 a year and recently contributed $60,000 to the Methodist Cente nary fund.
