Herrin. Ills. The death toll in tk
disaster, when 5.000 striking unloai
miners attacked the Lester strip mine,
Being operated under a guard of im
ported workers, may run past the tarty
mark, it was said by those in touch
with the situation, although thus far
only 27 positively are known to be
dead.
In the Herrin hospital are eirht
wouided men, only one a miner, and
six of them are believed to be fatally
injured. There were nine, but one
died.
A miner told the Associated Press
correspondent that he had seen 15
bodies thrown into a pond with rocks
around their necks. About SO import
ed miners are missing.
Checking up the death list has Drov
ed almost Impossible. The victims, all
but three of them Imported workers,
so far as known, were found scat
tered over an area within sevens!
miles of the mine. Some were lynch
ed, some were burned when the mine
was fired, others were beaten to death
and the majority fell before the score
of bullets poured Into them.

moony Williamson" county, so
called because of several riots, was
outwardly calm, but there was a no
ticeable undercurrent which kept ev
erybody on edge and wondering If fur
ther trouble might be expected- .
The correspondent talked with
scores of miners and about halt. of
them were certain there would be no
further disorder if there was no at
tempt to reopen the mines, while the
other half said they were afraid some
of the men might not be' held back.
Officially, the situation was reported
by county officials to be quiet.
The scenes of death were very
gruesome, as In a real war.
Bodies, many with limbs shot away,
lay along the roadside or were swung
from trees, men wounded and dying
were stretched out on the roads and
in the fields, with none of the hun
dreds of passers-by able to lend a
hand. Attempts to assist the wound
ed in the early part' of the day
brought rebuffs from the 'spectators,
backed in some cases by drawn guns.
Later the feeling qutated down and
some of the wounded were taken to
hospitals.
It is understood that there will be
no attempt to reopen any of the mines
until the strike is settled. When the
attackers went over the top In the be-
seiged mine there were some fifty or
sixty workers and guards there. What
has become of those not In the known
dead and wounded list can not be said
Some of them were seen in fields run
nlng, with miner sympathizers pursu
lng them with guns. How many es
caped could not be told. C. K. Mc
Dowell, superintendent of the import
ed workers at the mine, was among the
dead. It was said he was the first to
be shot after the mine was captured
and that he was given no opportunity
to escape. (
Hundreds of men, women and little
children, some as young as four years
old, surged through the morgue to
view the bodies, which lay side by
side on the floor, with no attempt to
straighten them out. Most of them
bore no Identification marks. All were
mangeld.
British Marshal Assaslnated.
London. Field Marshal Sir Henry
H. Wilson, one of England's most lllus
trous soldiers, who was chief of the
imperial staff during the final stages
of the world war, was assassinated on
the doortep of his residence in Eaton
Place by two young men who gave
the names of James O'Brien and
James Connolly.
The assassins had loitered about
waiting an hour for his return from
unveiling a memorial to men of the
Oreat Eastern railway who fell in the
war. When he alighted from his mo
tor car, Field Marshal Wilson walked
up the steps, and the men fired several
shots at him from close range, three
of which took effect, one In the chest
one .In the leg and the third in the
wrist. The field marshal died before
he could be taken Into the house. His
horrified wife heard the shooting and
rushed out to, find her husband's body,
dressed in full uniform, lying In a pool
of blood, with the sword which he had
drawn to meet his assailants by his
side.

License Tags Moving.
The green and white 1922.23 auto
mobile license tags are moving out of
the office of the license bureau of the
Secretary of State's office at about
the rate of 5,000 a day, and this num
ber will increase during the next fif
teen days. Under the law all auto
mobiles in the State are supposed to
carry the new license late on and
after the first) of July every year, but
those who are getting their numbers
now are getting them on their cars
this month. There is no objection to
this disposition to get every auto
mobile properly tagged before the
first day of July.
Notices have been sent to about
176,000 car owners of record in the
State, and these are coming back
with all forms of money in payment
for the license tags. The majority of
course, send personal checks or money
orders, but there are many freak
values sent to Raleigh in place of
those regular forms of money.

THE DESTRUCTIVE FORCE OF SILENCE
(Winston-Salem Journal.)
Now that the country is fight
ing its way back up the hill, and
in making real headway, too, in
the struggle, every thoughtful
person should bo interested in
business. We believe that ever.v
intelligent person is. ' A man or
woman doesn't have to be engag
ed in business to be interested in
or constantly affected by busi
ness "Conditions. If one lives at
all, if he eats or wears clothes
and pays taxes, he is bound to
feel the effects of business condi-
uons in uie community in wnicn
he lives.

non 10 an editorial that every
body will read with more than
usual interest. It is the best edi
torial on business that lias ap
peared in The Journal in a year
We didn't write it. We are in
debted for it to Calkins & Hold-
en, inc., of New York.
You uiay say it Is not an edito
rial on business at all, but on ad
vertising. But look a jittle deep
er. orwhatis advertising, in
this day, butthesoul of business?
The title of this editorial is "The
Destructive Force of Silence."
The subject matter is worthy of
every man's attention. Read it
and see if you do not agree with
us:
We have advertised a long
while," said a manufacturer who
wished to stop, "and have good unskilled, continues strong, and dur
will. That good will will last us ,n 0,6 week Placements In these tw
for a long while. We don't need
to add to it right now."
To some extent that is so. The
ny wneei Keeps oa turning lor a
while after the power is shut off.
But not for long. And when it
stops it takes more power to
shut off. But not for long. And
when it stops it takes more pow
er to start it, by six times, . than
it was to keep it running.
One might as well say:
"We won't buy coal now that
it is so expensive, we will gradu
ally chop up the plant and burn
that in tne furnace until coal is
cheaper, and then we can re
build the plant."
Good will is a fine thing to use.
But not a fine thing to use up.
Nothing is ever finished done
Time is destructive. Stop build
ing up and time begins tearing
down. Some things last longer
than others. But nothing lasts so
very long. You think of your
plant, for instance, as built. But
it only stays built because you
are painting and repairing and
gradually but constantly replac
ing it bit by bit.
Think how much more rapid
tne inevitable loss in a thing so
intangible as familiarity as rep
utation-as good will.
Out of sight out of mind not
in a minute but before very
long.
Advertisers who stop adverti
sing expose the advertisingstruc
tu re, on which they have invest
ed much money for many years,
to elements quite as destructive
and more rapid in their action
than those which attack and dis
integrate an unfinished, aban
doned building.
In almost every community
you will find the ruins of an am
bitious but unfinished mansion
generally called
Folly."

even to the extent that a building

Bay that never, in your most op-
timistic moments, have you felt
that your advertising structure
was finished and that it would
shelter and protect your estab

No, you realize, when you stop
to think, that the work of build
