CLIFFSIDE NEWS By B. E. ROACH. Editor Cliffside Page. Our town is mourning the sudden and tragic passing of one of its builders; Mr. G. K. Moore, Sr. Mon day morning, Mr. Moore with Mr. Lox Harrill were enroute to their work at Forest City when according to reports they were crowded almost entirely off the road and struck by a car coming in the opposite direc tion. Messrs Moore and Harrill were taken to the hospital at Rutherford ton, where at 9:40 Mr. Moore died without having regained conscious ness. Mrs. Moore and a daughter, Miss Virginia and friends were with him when the end came. Mr. Moore came here when the late R. R. Haynes began to build Cliff side and has served as engineer and director of construction work dur ing all these years. He has had a large part in the building of the town as it is today and he was loved by all. According to reports two young men and a girl from Avondale were in the car that struck the car occupi ed by Messrs. Moore and Harrill and the girl and one of the men were arrested at the scene of the acci dent and a quantity of liquor was found in the car. We understand the car was owned by another man who was also arrested. Immediately after the collision it is stated that one of the men hurriedly left the scene, but according to reports late Monday evening, he was thought to be surrounded in a woodland on the river between Henrietta and Cliffside Feeling is bitter against those res ponsible and it is hoped that the law will make them pay for their crime. At last reports Mr. Harrill. was resting as comfortably as could be expected at the Rutherford hospital. He sustained a shattered knee cap and other injuries not thought to be serious. Mr. Moore was well known through out this and surrounding counties and numbered his friends by the hundreds. He was a member of the local Methodist church serving sev eral years on the Board of Stewards. He was also for a number of years a member of the local school board and was always keenly interested in the progress of the town. Mr. Moore is survived by his wife, who before her marriage was Miss Margaret Dean of Forest City, and the following children: Mr. Charles F. Moore, of Cleveland, Ohio; Miss Virginia Moore at horne; Mr. G. K. Moore, Jr., St. Petersburg, Fla.; Mrs. A. T. Humphries, Lincolnton, N. C.; and Mrs. W. F. Blanton, of Morgan ton, N. C. The funeral services was held at j 1:30 Wednesday evening at the Cliff-! side Baptist church with Mr. Moore's J pastor, Rev. D. H. Rhinehardt of the j Methodist church in charge. The Mills i stood Wednesday and as the Bap-I tist church could seat more people j it was decided to hold the services I I there. After the service at the church | the body was taken to Pleasant Grove j Methodist church near Forest City, \ for interment. * * * j Miss Mavorean Lemmons enter-! / i tained with a New Years party Tues-j day night of last week. The guests; were first entertained in the home of Miss Lemmons after which they went to the Romina theatre at For est City for the mid-night show. / Miss Lemmons' guests included Misses Eunice Simmons, Saran Hughes, Feme Pruett, Dorothy and Nell Padgett, Margaret and Kather ine Kendrick, Catherine Hawkins, Georgia Blanton and Rachel Hill and Messrs, Francis Thompson, Edwin Hughes of Cliffside; Worth Wright, Robert Mcßorie and Claude Thomp son of Rutherfordton; Berry Rhine hardt of Gastonia; Solon Smart, Oras Biggerstaff and Billy Watkins of Avondale.

Mr. Dun can lives at Haines City, Fla., and has been spending several weeks with his father Mr. W. F. Duncan of Har ris and other relatives in the county. Mr. Q. W. Lemmons was taken to the Rutherford Hospital Monday af ternoon for an operation for appen dicitis. We trust he will speedily re . cover. • Miss Howard, county demonstra tion agent is expected to meet the ladies here Tuesday night. PLANS MADE FOR THE STEPHENS REVIVAL Cliffside, Jan. 6. —Preparation for the Stephens meeting is going for ward with ever increasing interest ! and momentum. At least three or ! four cottage prayer meetings are be jing held in different parts of the ■ town every afternoon at 2:30 and Mr. I Haymaker is here helping in a won derful way with all the work. Sun day afternoon several ladies of the local churches met with others from other nearby churches at the Avon dale Baptist church where Mr. Hay maker helped them organize and plan for serving the dinner to the men who erect the tabernacle Wednes day. They have their menu already planned and, will serve a turkey din ner and of course other things to go along with the turkey. Sunday night a number of msn came to the R. R. Havnes Memorial building where Mr. Haymaker has taken a room for the present. They went into one of the assembly rooms where Mr. Haymaker talked over the work of preparation with them and then they turned the meeting into a prayer meeting asking for God's leadership in all the plans and work. On Monday night at 7:30 a meet ing was held in the large assembly room of the Memorial building at which time the chairman of each committee was elected and time and place for the several committee meet ings. j At the meeting Monday night it was decided that to get everything in readiness for the meeting it would be best to have the services start on Sunday, January 19 instead of next Sunday, January the 12th. Mr. Haymaker and several men met on the ground where the taber nacle is to be located and began work about 7:30 Monday morning. When they stopped Monday evening ! practically all the frame work was done and Mr. Haymaker seemed very much pleased with the results of the labors. More will be done tomorrow, (Tuesday) and then Wednesday, which is called "Tabernacle Day" it is expected that a hundred and twenty-five or a hundred and fifty men will be on hand to complete the job in one day or less. .At noon the ladies will serve the turkey dinner and at this time there will be music , and speeches. It will be a day of co ! operation and fellowship that will be , enjoyable to all participating. I We understand that several men at | Rutherfordton and Spindale have j stated that they would be glad to go lout where ever desired next Sunday ito tell the people who did not get in I the meeting at Spindale about what j a wonderful revival they had there } and the blessings that have come to jthem from the meetings. This is cer | tainly a fine spirit and much appre j ciated. It has jbeen suggested that j next Sunday teams of two—one Spindale" man and one Cliffside mail or one from this vicinity go out (together to speak in all the territory !in reach of the meetings. ( The tabernacle will seat 2,500 or | more and an annex is being erected jalso. The music committee are plan ning for 200 in the choir. Over two ;car loads of lumber will be used in j the construction of the tabernacle. '.There certainly was fine cooperation ;in tearing down and moving the .building from Spindale. Most of it, lin fact nearly all of it was moved here last Saturday and placed on the ground convenient erection again. So far there has been such a fine i spirit of cooperation we just feel [ that the meeting is going to be a . fine success and with Mr. Haymaker , to lead we feel that by the close of I next week everything will be in I much better condition for the right , kind of a beginning than it would . be possible were the services to start - hext Sunday, Mr. Haymaker seems t to have won the hearts of all with s whom he has come in contact in the short time he has been here and the £ folks at Spindale tell us that like the rest of the Stephens party he a "will grow on us" as the days pass. He certainly seems to be the right , man in the right place. When Austen Chamberlain was installed as L2Trd Rector of Glassgow University, 2,000 of the students wore monocles in his honor. An unfrocked pastor in Denmark has been awarded 45,000 kronen as damages against the Methodist E piscopal church because of the bis hop's action in demoting him.

Police on Trail of Branch. % It was thought that Branch was either on his way to Gaffney, S. C., or Spartanburg, S. C. Chief Price of this city, telephoned all the sur rounding towns and cities in an ef fort to head Branch off, requesting that the different police departments visit the hospitals and local doctors, for Branch was injured to such an extent that he will have to have medical aid. Monday affernoon Chief Price, Deputy Sheriffs Marlow and Cobb, the latter of Cliffside, while scouring the woods for the driver of the death car in the swamps on Broad River between Henrietta and Cliffside, jumped Branch. Price and Marlow were both in sight of the wanted man and shot at him several times but he was too far away for them to wing him. They with the other two officers chased Branch for about two hours, and they ran him so hard he was forced to throw off his coat, The officers took possession of the coat and from the looks of it Branch was badly injured, for all the lining in the coat was covered with blood. Branch escaped the officers by out running them. Posses Formed. Monday night posses were form- j ed from all over Rutherford county! and joined in the man hunt. At 10 ' o'clock Monday night it was esti mated by Chief Price that 250 men were looking for Branch in the sec-1 tion between Henrietta and Caroleen. j A large circle was formed by the j deputized men and it was thought j that Branch was in this cordon of' men stretched for miles along I Broad River and forests in that sec-' I WHY PAY MORE?

Branch was again seen several times Monday night, officers being close enough to shoot at him several times. While chasing the man officer Marlow tripped over a barbed wire fence and cut his legs rather badly, necessitating medical aid at Forest City. About 1 o'clock Tuesday morning a great many of the special officers returned to their homes and as he had not been caught at 8:30 o'clock Tuesday jnorftiog, it was feared that Branch had slipped through the human net and made his escape. The girl that was arrested togeth er with Woodrow Branch following the wreck made a statement tb the police Monday, giving the name of the man from whom they had pur chased the whiskey and whom it was for. The latter had already been ar rested on another charge in connec tion w r itb' this case while officers im mediately went after the other man, who lives in another county. Borrowed Car. When interviewed by a Courier re porter Monday morning, Woodrow Branch did not have very much to say. It was learned that he and his brother had borrowed the car from Gary Hames Sunday afternoon and had kept it all night, for he admitted that they were on their way home when the accident occurred. He fur ther stated that if there had been any whiskey in the car he did not know it.
