ONE
Because the Scotch highland-1
era held obedience to their ack
nowledged leader as their great.,
eat virtue, their clans were ut
terly broken by the English
whom they defied in .defense of
the claimsof their heriditary
chieftain, and those who esccap
fd death in battle were forced
to flee to America in order to
avoid imprisonment and execu
tion. With these latter came
Flora Macdonald, who, in her'old
age, held her people to furnish
the infant state of North Caro
liha with a legend of loyalty to
her king as gallant as the one
Which in her youth she gave to
Scotland when She rescued her
outlawed prince.
As head of the royal family
of Scotland, the reignjng prince
of the house of Stuart was re
garded as chieftain of the Scot
tish clans and, though James
II was forced to abdicate the
British throne, many still be
lieve his male descendants were
the rightful heirs; For 50 years
the Jacobins, as they were call
ed, clung to . the fallen fortunes
' of this fallen royal family with
a devotion worthy tof a better
cause . When,in 1746, Charles
Edward,- grandson of James II,
landed in Scotalnd in a final
desperate effort to regan the
throne of his, ancestors, thous
ends' of the loyal clansmen flock
ed out of the highands to aid
him. v
. The young prnce was not lack
ing in bravery, and his beauty
and charm blinded the people to
the weakness of hs cliam. Bon
nie Pr ice Charlie was the ful
fillment of their every dream,
and at first theirwild enthusi
asm for him swept everything
before- them. Neither they
nor their leaders saw any neces
sity for delay, and with success
aparently within his grasp,
Charles attempted to invade
England..
His eager, but untrained Sol
diery met the English army
undet command of the Duke of
..Cumberland on Culioden Moor,
on April 16, 1746, and in spite
of their desperate stand, they
were utterly defated. Thous
ands of them died fighting, and
hundreds of their wounded were
murdered by order of the Duke
after lying on the open field for
two days in the pouring rain.1
The “Bonnie Prince," who had|
come in triumph, was forced to
flee like a haunted mare. Attend
ed only by a few faithful friends
* who escaped with him, hiding h'
huts and caves, pursued by the
the Englsh soldiers, and with a
prize on his head, he had no
cnance to escape save through1
me loyalty of ms friends.
Hoping to reach Prance he
hastened to the* islands off the
Scottish coast, but here, too, he
was surrounded by the British.
Capture seemed inevitable, when
the herioc Flora Macdonald vol
unteered to assist him in reach
ing the*Island of Skye. Obtai
ing from her step father, who
was in the British service, a
passport for herself and two
servants, she set forth with the
prince, who impersonated her
Irish waiting maid. • Then he
gan days of adversity and dang
er, which included a dozen hair I
breath escapes, an one actual
capture before they reached,
their destination after a final
night of incredible hardships,
spent in an dpen boat on the
Btormy sea. His great adven
ture oiiir, Charles was at last
on the highrad to safety.
The majority of his adherents
were far less lucky, for the
British government determined I
to punish their presumptuous re
hellion with such severity as to
make another such uprising for
" ever impossible. The homes i
of those who had died in battfle
were burod, and, their families
scatered. The living were hunt
ed like wild beasts, their lands
were laid waste, their cattle
killed, and their other property
confiscated. Deserted by their
leader, and robbed of their her
itage, many of them turned to
America as their only hope of
'salvation.
As early as 172», a lew rami
Jier had settled In Cape Ftear
. section of North Carolina, where
they found the soil and climate
«o good, the mode of govern"
ment so favorable, that they urg
ed others of their countrymen
to follow them.' When the
Scotchman, Gabriel Johnson, be
came governor of the colony in
1784, he, to, begged his country
men to emigrate to the new col
ony.. After the battle of Cullo
den, thousands of the hunted
. 'ir [
clansman forsook their desolate
Highland homes, and flocked to
Carolina to start life anew. For
saken by their prince and perse
cuted ^ith the utmost maloveT
ence by the British Parliament,
all who could find the means of
[paying the actual cost of the
voyage fled to the ports, hoping
to secure passage on an out
bound vessel. Shipload after
shipload of emigrants set out
for America, ana so popular was
the movement that a well known
song of the day had as it’s re
frain “Going to seek a Fortune
in North Carolina.”
Thousands of these sturdy set
tiers poured into the coolny dur
ing the thirty years between
1446 and the beginning of the
American revolution. Most of
them landed at Charleston an-t
Wilmington, and made4 theft
way to their kinsmen on the
Cape Fear. Their principal town
was-located at the headwaters of
the Cape Fear and was known
successively as Campbellton,
Cross Creek, and now r av'-'e..,
ville. From here their settle-,
ments wer soon thickly scatter
ed for many miles over the sur
rounding country.
Flora Macdonald's career was
not ended when she stood on the
shores of a Scotish isle and
watch the Bonnie Prince speed
away to safety. Her expolit
i was to spectacular not to become
widely known, and she was short
ly afterward captured and car
ried to London. Here,, she be
came so famous as the lass who
had assisted in the escape of
the glamorous Charles, that the
most distinguished people fn
England came to 'pay their re
spects to the heroine—and, per
haps, to satisfy ,the curiosity.
Among such guests was Freder
ck, Pmce of Wales, who asked
the lady how she dared to risk
aiding a rebel against his fath
er’s throne. . . „ . -
“I only obeyed the dictates of
humanity, your highness,” was
her modest, blit emphatic reply.
"Had you dr any member of
your family come to me in such
distress, I would have done the
like for you.”.
Frederick'found her sincerity
so enchanting that he did every
thing in his power to make her
imprisonment a pleasant one,
and it may have been his influ
ence which made her a faithful
supporter of the House of Han
over in later life.
Flora Macdonald ’ was freed
under the act of indemnity of
1747, and shortly after returned
to Scotland. Here, in 1750, she
married Alexander Macdonald,
younger son of the man who help
ed herisave Prince Charles.
Owing to certain connections
of his family with the British
government, as well as to the per
sonal popularity of his wife
among the English, Alexander
Macdonald escaped much of the
persecution suffered by others
of his people. He was able to
remain on his Scottish estates
while hordes of his countrymen,
were seeking the haven offered
by their kinsmen in the new
world. It was not until 1774,
that, owing to financial losses fit
Scotland, he emigrated to North
Carolina with Flora and a fam
ily then numbering two girls
mad five boys. - --
Thirty years had not dimmed
the fame of Scotland’s most pop
ular heroine. A ball was given
at Wilmington in her honor, and
when the * family arrived at
Cross Creek, we are told that the
martial airs of her native -land
’"strains of the Priboch and the
greeted her on her approach to
the capital of the Scotish settle
ment,” .. .i-*!.:-.:.-..
The first mutterings of the
American revolution were al
ready echoing through the colo
nies when the Macdonalds arriv
,ed, and it was inevitable that
their decision on the question
would strongly affect their neigh
bora. The early settlers, who
had spent most of their maturity
in the new world, might favor
an outbreak against England,
but the majority of Scotch' had,
like the Macdolanlds, too lately
suffered theb consequences of an
uprising to be again easily stir
red to rebellion against the es
tablished government. The lat...
er arrivals knew little of the
questions under dispute, and
the existing political conditions
in Carolina were certainly easier
than they had known at home.
The majorty were willling to ac
cept the decision of their former
chieftians, whom they knew,had
Settled in the colonies expect
ing to end their days in peace.
When the appeal to*anns was
first sounded by the patriots, ’
many of the highlanders, led by _
Macdonald refused to give up
the allegiance they had sworn
to the English king after the
battle of Culloden, and informed
the governor of their willngness
to support the royal cause,
i (governor Martin immediately
ordered the highlanders to arms,
and the fiery cross, Scottish sym
bol of war, was sent from house
to house among the pine clad
fields of Carolina to summon the
Highlanders to fight for George
III as it had once been sent to
father the clansmen under the
banner of the Stuart prince.
Flora Macdonald, mounted on
her white horse, rode beside her
husband urging her kinsmen to
aid the king. As she had once
risked her own life and fortune
for Prince Charles, so she now
risked his ilfe and that of her
sons in order that their might be
no stain on the loyaltly pledged
to English after Culloden.The
dark forests, echoed With the
wild chers of the clansmen
drawn up in battle array as
Flora made her last public ges
ture for loyalty. Gracefully
seated on her spirited steed, she
rode down the lines . and called
upon them to fight as befitted
their race for their king and his
crown.
All her efforts were of little
avail, for when the) loyal Scotch
men met their patriot kin at
More’s creek bridge on February
27, 1776, they were defeated al
most as severey as they had
been by the English at1 Culloden
AS Flora is reputed to have rue
fully said of herself, “they had
fought for the House of Stuart,
and for the House of Hanover,
and had been , worsted each
time.”
The last tie which held the
Highlanders to Scotland was
broken with the successful con
elusion of the American revo_
tion. The hosts of the clang. ,
men who had fled to the colonies
after Culloden,found their new
homes as dear to them as the
old had been, and their children
grew up as liberty loving Ameri
cans. The defeated loyalists
.who found) the ties of the old
world too strong to break, were
welcomed back to Scotland, the
old Stuart rebellion forgotten in
their newer sacrifices to the
English king. Among them was
Flora Macdonald, who, having
furnished as brighten touch of
glamour to the lost cause of the
stupid King George, in America
as she! had done to that of the
fasdnating but inefficient
Prince Charles, faded away into
the dim realms of romance,
wher such beloved heroines
dwell immortal.

(Deferred from last week.)
Coming as a complete surprise
to their many friends Was the
marriage . of Miss Kathleen
Thomas and Mr. Palmer Sloan,
which took place on Wednesday
evening at 7 o’clock at the Pres

gloves and accessories to match,
and a shoulder corsage of sweet
heart roses and valley lilies. ^
Following the ceremony, the

the mountains of Western North
Carolina, after which they will
be at home at 'Broadway.
Mrs.Sloan is the attractive
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B.

PAGE WARNS THAT SALE \ -
| OF FARMS IS RUINING CODNTRY
Remedy Is For Bondholders To Reduce Debts, Ex
: tend Time and Lower Interest-Devas
t tation Must Cease. f
(By Ralph Page.) -
How to stop the farm fore
closure devastation, which.is
threatening the country, is told
by Ralph W. Page, Aberden
banker, in a public letter ad
dressed to President Herbert
Hoover, the Hon. Franklin D.
Rosevelt, the holders of five per
cent tax free land bank bonds
and to the members of the fed
eral farm loan board.
Mr. Page, who is a director of
one of the joint stock land
banks, pictures a graphic story
of the heartless foreclosure pro
cess now going on, a process
which is depriving honest citi
zenry of its homes and farms.
The remedy, he asserts, is for
the holdersl of the joint land
bank bonds, which have depreci
ated to 30 cents on the dollar,
and the borrowers to get togeui
er, and through government, ne
gotiate new loans.
Briefly, Mr. - Page suggests
that the following plan be sub
mitted to the bondholders:
1. To exchange their present
bends for new bonds, dollar for
dollar. The newr, bonds to ma
ture about fifeten years after the
present issue is due to mature,
and th6 new bonds to bear no in
terest at all for three years, after
which time they will not bear 6
per cent, as at present, but three
per cent.
That it be cogently pointed
out that they hold as collateral
farms that' have been so run
down, depleted, and are operated
by so demoralized and iscourag
ed personnel, that no less than
three years respite and replen
ishment will save security or
prevent the complete relapse of
their industry.
Passed on Td Farmer.
That this relief Will all be pass
ed to the farmer, and not one
cent to the bank. In other words,
that the bank will immediately
refinance every loan, exchang
ing the farmers’ notes they now
hold for new ones, based upon
the present amount the farmer
owres (and running anew for
40 years,) requiring only 1 per
cent interest for the first three
years, and thereafter only 4 pei
cent plus a small additional
amount necessary to amortize
the loan for forty years.
In the first place this refin
ances on the present debt fig
ures. A majority of the loans
have been matJenallly reduced
from their original amount, but
of course the payments still call,
lor 7 per cent annually of that
original amount. The new loans
would call for something less
than five per cent on the reduc ’
ed amount. And would pay only ,
operating expenses of the bank
(1 per cent) for 3 years.
It should be guaranteed that
the directors and the board
would still functiori for the bond
holders in requiring taxes and
insurance be paid, and actual in
competents and deserters remow
ed—and supervision and assist
ance lent the whole rejuvenated
industry.
The bank and the bondholders
could work with new courage and
enthusiasm to rebuild rather
than to destroy, the common...
wealth. And the forgotten man
would thank God they had for
gotten him for three years. S i
The proposition would then re
quire the specific approval and
endorsement of some one suffi
ently in authority to gain the
confidence of all the bondhold
ers. Being a social operation
on a large scale and! one that if
successful would involve all the
Land Banks, and affect pro
foundly present thought and
practices of “Farm ReliefThis
could only be done effectively by
the President.
So endorsed, I conceive that
there would remain nothing but
the item of pubicty. IThe plan
and exchange Would have to be
presented to all the holders of i
$450,000,00 of bonds. There is no
list.
Well,the story, the report, the
recomendations ahd the Presi
structions where' to effect the
dents approval together with in
exchange, or to whom to direct
the necessary agreement, would ,
be published in the Saturda j
Evening Post, or Collier’s, or
some national weekly (other
than the Congressional Record.)
| Since either this has to be
(done this way, or else a worse
result for the bondholders come
'to pass by the Course of events,
it might be only fair to point .
out to them that if they did not
affect the exchange, no altema
tive exists but to put the banks
in the hands of receivers,with or
ders to bring about the result
anyway. The peopel of the.
country nannot, and will not be
destroyed.
Gable and Jean Harlow
Together in “Red Dust”
Two of Screen’s Most Magnetic
Personalities Co-Starred at
Temple Theatre in Dramatic
Sex Triangle Laid in Cochin,
China.
One of the most anticipated
productions of the new movie
season comes to the Temple
Theatre starting Today with the
co-starring appearance of Clark
Gable and Jean Harlow in “Red
Dust,-’ filmization of the Wilson
Collison play.
Gable, who still retains his
title as the screen’s most popu
lar male star, and Miss Harlow
;>f the sensational platinum
tresses, first appeared together
in the racketeer melodrama,
‘The Secret Six,” the story of
.vhich was laid in a large Ameri
can city.
In “Red Dust,” the locale is
the picturesque region of Cochin,
Dhina, with Gable playing a
lardened plantation foreman
,vho has forced himself to be
come completely brutalized in an
effort to remain superior to his
environment of deadly fever,
tropical heat and treacherous
latives.
To Miss Harlow fall the role
>f Vantine, bom to the tropics,
lard-boiled, perfectly at home
>n the plantation and equal in
strength and animal pugnacity
;o-the men. It is when the beau
tiful wife of an engineer comes
,o the plantation and is involved
n a love affair with Gable that
the jealous and fiery nature of
this savage-like creature asserts
tself and brings the action of
the plot to a dramatically cbm
cromising situation. .
iviucn oi me'advance praise 01
‘Red Dust” emphasizes the per
'e'ct casting of this picture,
Sable being perfectly fitted as
;he brutal rubber plantation
iverseer who is constantly en
gaged in vicious fights with his
subordinates and thinks nothing
if giving the coquettish Miss
Harlow a slap across the face.
Miss Harlow, likewise, is said to
have a role which is even more
made to order than her recent
effective portrayal in “Red Head
ed Woman.”
The “other woman" of the
dramatic triangle is played by
Mary Astor. Gene Raymond is
seen as Gable’s rival and the re
mainder of the cast is made tip

REMOVE THE CAUSE
OF RHEUMATISM
Excess Uric Acid Poison—the
Cause of most Rheumatic
Agony Starts to Leave
Your Body in 24 Hours.
Think of it—how this old
world does make progress—uow
comes a prescription which is
known to pharmacists as Allenru
and within 48 hours after you
start to tak4 this swift acting
formula pain, agony and inflam
mation has departed.
Truly a day for the whole fam ■
ily to celebrate for instead of be
ing a helpless,... expensive and
annoying cripple the happy pet
son is soon at work again.
Allenru does just what this
notiee says it will da—it s guar
anteed by Lee Drug Store and v
leading druggists to do it—you
can get one generous bottle for ;
85 cents and if doesn’t bring the
joyous results you expect—your i
money whole heartedly returned, v
Take heart—lively activity |
comes again after the wonderful,
benefit Allenru brings has made f?
you cheerful and happy.
And remember this, AUenru
is just as effective for neuritis, f
sciatica and plumbago.- ■ -, - T
