Donald Walter Cameron, distinguished guest of the Scottish Society of America at its annual meeting at Red Springs today, m concluding the address of the occa sion. Earlier in his address, which was frequently interrupted by ap plause, this chief of the clan Cameron from overseas declared that he is still optimistic that America wm come in to win the peace the seeds of which were sown by "your great for mer President, Woodrow Wilson, as America came in to win the way." m Never was there a more Perfect October day of mellow Indian^ mer, and the crowd from far and that covered the sides of the Wood a^land theatre at Flora Macdonald col ^lege thoroughly enjoyed every min ute of the exercises that began at 11 a. m. and lasted until nearly 2 m., when a halt was called for the picnic dinner that was served m the grove hard by the the*tr$. * Col. Cameron, who is invariably called "Lochiel" and who is the 25*h super-chieftain of the great Clan Ca meron, inheriting the dighity in an un broken line of male ancestors who fi gure on every page of Scottish his tory, and his wife, Lady Hermione, daughter of the fifth duke of Mon trose, head of the Clan Graham, came to America for this occasion, in res ponse to an invitation extended them last year by the society and carried in person by Dr. C. G. Vardell, pre sident of Flora Macdonald college and president of the society. O her dis tinguished guests were present. A Deep Line in History, Following words of welcome by Dr. Vardell, and invocation- by Rev. Dr. L. S, Massey, pastor of the Me thodist church of Red Springs, greet ings were extended to Lochiel by John Gordon Gray, past president of the St. Andrews society of Philadelphia. Mr. Gray spoke eloquently of Scot land's glorious record and declared that with the exception of Greece Scotland has made a deeper line m the world's history than any otheb na tion. He referred briefly to the gold en age in Scottish history in the 15th century, when that country iedm science, in literature, and m divinity. Courage, Chivalry yd Devotion. ? In introducing Lochiei, Mr. A. W. McLean of Lumberton paid tribute to the record of Clan Cameron for bra very. chivalry and devotion to duty; and to the splendid military record of its present chieftain, who was badly wounded in the Boer war in Africa .and who when the world war broke out, at the request of iurd Kitchiner, raised the 5th battalion of the Came ron Highlanders and served with dis tinction throughout that great war, winning the rank of brigadier general, often cited for gallantry and deco rated with the cross of St. Michael end St. George. When Mr. McLean tmrsnea tne au dience rose to greet Lochiei, but the distinguished speaker was destined to have a double-barrelled introduction. Governor Cameron Morrison was call ed upon to extend 3 welcome to North Carolina, officially, which he did gracefully, referring to him as the most aristocratic democrat who ever visited these shores, as democratic as a distinguished ancestor who re moved his shoes in order to be on equal bare-foo%ng with his men and led them to victory in the battle of Killiecrankie, but who would be known by his latest title, leader of the "Ladies from Hell". Scottish-American Hospitality. Lochiei expressed his gratitude for the Scottish-American welcome he and Lady Hermione had received sine ethey landed. He does not feel that this is a foreign country ,and he said he learns more about Scotland here than he learned at home. Indeed he finds, he said, that the further he gets away from Scotland the more loyal and enthusiastic Scotchmen are. He spoke briefly of ihe story of *45, of Prince Charlie and how he was saved after the battle of Culloden by Flora Macdonald, who is held in ven eration throughout the Highlands. Finest Bducatiodal System The old dominees of Scotland, he said, who in olden ways worked for Man Killed -By R. & (2. Train Near Fork. Charles Phillips and Team Killed and Wagon Demolished—Drove on to Track in Front of Train. Without Heeding Warnings. Mr. Charies Phiilips and a horse and a mule which he was driving were instantly kiiied, the wagon in which hp was ridings was demolished and a bale of cotton which was in the wagon was badiy damaged Thursday afternoon at 4:16 at Fork, 8. C., when the JRaieigh & Charleston pas senger train struck them at p cross; mg near the station, i According to Mr. W. L. Dahgherty, engidear on the train aMKe Ham # the^accident, Afr. PhiHipk had just left a^coMdn gin and drove on to the track in front of the approaching train, which was running abpat Z6 miles an hour. Two cotton gins, two seed houses and two box cars, ta* l^tc: cn a side track next o the seed houses, were all somewhat responsi ble for the accident, the peed houses and hox'Caro blinding the view of Mr PhiMipa and the nmse fro# #a gins Po#ibly dHtracHng^ JaMoa^ tion Wwn the MiCsta ofiHw' enghte Whistle When Mr. Daugnerty ftrst saw the mules the. train was only a few feet away He had already blown station blow and cut off the power, dust before the mules reached the crossing he gave the caLtie alarm with his whistle but this did not atop them He immedia+edly applied the emergency brakes and threw the gears in reverse The crash had come, the young men was killed the team was crushed, the wagon demolished and a bale of cotton was knocked nearly clear of the right-of-way. The train was stopped before the last coach had passed over the wreckage. The unfortunate man was liftAsKs when he ws& reached by the train crew and passengers. His remains were taken up, prepared for burial and taken to his home about 4 miles sopth of Fork. a pittance, often as little as 33 cents a week and who were rich when they got as much as $50 . year, were res ponsible for the great men Scotland has produced and who established the finest educational system in the worM, which provides th^t ev^ry one^ shall have a chance at an edttCHtion, no matter what their station in life. Will Pall Through Conditions are bad in Scotland now, he said, but they have pulled through before and will pull through this time, though the tide of emigration to Canada has been strong for the past two years, draining Scotland of some of its best blood. Col Cameron's address was well re ceived and he was freqniestly inter rupted by^ applause. He spoke of the strong attachment to the soil on the part of Scotchmen wherever"" they roam, and, as stated at the ou'set, of the Clan feeling that clings to Scotch man everywhere, no matter what their adopted country, and which he sees as a powerful foundation updn which to build for th epeace and advance ment of the world. ' At the conclusion of Lochiel's ad dress, Gov. McLeod of South Caro* iina was calied upon to do the custo mary thing in Scotland and so to make Coi. Cameronfee! entirety at home by moving a vote ofthanks to the speak er. Gov. McLeod was entirely happy in his remarks. His mother was a McCallum of Robeson county, he said, and he was Scotch, but he had enough Irish in him to keep him from being weighed down with the responsibility of being a fuli-biooded Scotchman. He said he was glad to be vice president of the Scottish Society of America ho long as JPr. Vardell is president and will do all the work, but if *Ae need arises he is prepared to play the part even to wearing the plaid and kilts.„ That costume is all right, he said-—it is on the installment plan, for which Americans are strong. A rising vote of thanks to Lochiel was given upon motion of Gov. McLeod. At this point, as aesert at a least, wag rendered a Scotch song by the Adanae quartette of Toronto, Canada, which gave a concert in the college auditorium in the evening. This was indeed a treat and made one anxious to stay for the evening performance, at which six Flora Macdonald girls danced the Highland fling. A telegram of greeting was read by Dr. Vardeli from former Governor Locke Craig, and Dr. Peter McIntyre of Goldsboro, president of the Arran Blac!s, River society, also brought greetings to Lochiel This society, he said, was named for Arran, at the mohth of the Clyde, the "Little Swit zerland" where Robert Bruce sought refuge and where the spider's perse verance encouraged him to further ef forts—Arran, where all clans were I represented. Mr. Btritton brought greetings from the Caledonian club of New York, which club was organ ized 67 years ago to perpetuate the clan spirit. He told of a touching inci dent the Saturday night before when this club was entertaining Lochiel and Lady Hermione. Two members of Coi. Cameron's regiment requested tc be allowed to greet their former com mander, and when they were admitted , (Continued on Page 7 GASOLINE OIL TIRES TUBES ACCESSORIES. DRIVE IN YOU DON,T HAVE TO WAIT.
