HILL End Came on Wednesday Night After Illness Npt Thought to be Serious WELL KNOWN IN COUNTY "Tpmmie Russell is dead." This was the statement which flashed over the town last night about 9 o'clock when the news wa3 received that Mr. J. T. Rus sell, familiarly known through out Stanly County as "Little Tommie," had died suddenly in his room at the' home of Dr. and Mrs. W. I. Hill on South Street, where he made his home. The end came suddenly and un expectedly just a few minutes after Mr. Russell had retired to his room. He had been some what indisposed for several days but was thought to have been improving. Yesterday he is said to have complained of some trouble in breathing, but, of course, his condition was not regarded as seriotu. He went up stairs to his room about 8 :30 o'clock last night and retired for the night. Dr. Hill came in about 9 o'clock and went to his room. He asked the doctor to get him a drink of cold water. Dr. Hill responded to this re quest, and went down stairs for the water, and upon his return he found Mr. Russell dead. The deceased was probably one of the best known characters in Stanly County. He was about 55 years of age and unmarried. He was born in Montgomery County, but had spent most of his life as a resident of Stanly, having been' a resident of Albe marle for a number of years. As we go to press we are unable to give details as to the funeral ar rangements. THE LUTHERAN CHURCH.

All mills at Concord and Kannapolis are said to be now running, though on limited help and it is thought that within a short while the strike troubles will have passed away entirely. Governor Morrison is quoted in a dispatch from'Asheville dated the 23rd as follows: "The governor declared that he believed the spirit of law lessness was completely elimi nated and he had every assur ance that the striking employes would abide by his proclamati on. He said that he felt it was his duty to remove the troops and expressed the hope that it would not be necessary to send troops to any part of the state again. He stated that if there was any effort to defy his pro ciamanon in uaoarrus or any ether part of the state, he would without hesitancy use the state troops. "Governor Morrison said that he was satisfied that lives would have been lost in Cabarrus coun ty on Monday, August 15, had troops not been sent to Con :ord. He also asserted that the officers were justified in asking for troops to be sent under the conditions. "The chief executive declared that he did not think that state troops were organized for the purpose of attending the funeral of the people whose lives they should have protected. He fur ther said that after he came in contact with the situation, he discovered nothing but highest respect for law and order and believed the whole trouble arose by it not being known what con stituted an illegal threat to ig nore organized labor. ''He stated that he felt very much encouraged over the fact that there was not any rebellious or insurrectionary spirit in the ounty of Cabarrus. "Governor Morrison declared it ' i be his opinion that if local of-i 5vr.; would post themselves onj ' 'r duty and carry it ut with out f.?ar, employ the necessary '"(n to handle the situation and; firmly suppress menacing i v !s and stop all threats, the Irv would be upheld in every I covr.ty in North Carolina. But j if local officers could not or would not do it, then under his conception of the constitution of the state, he would without hes itation use all the power of the state to keep peace." The governor is said to have made the statement that should further need of state troops arise at Concord and Kannapolis he will not hesitate to again dispatch troops there to keep down disorder. NEW LONDON CIRCUIT. ' Revival services at New I London this week. Services at 111 a. m., and 7:30 p. m. Every one nas a curuiai uiviuaiiuu i attend these services. A reun ion service in honor of the Talley relatives at Bethel church next Sunday, dinner on the grounds, and the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper in the afteroon. The revival meetig begins at i Richfield the first Sunday in j September at 11 a. m., and at !7:30 p. m. ! J. W. STRIDOR. Not all the Confederate veter ans of this county could at tend the annual state reunion at Durham, but those who did no doubt thoroughly enjoyed it. A record crowd seems to have been present. The following account written to the News and Obser ver by Nell Battle Lewis, will be of interest to those veterans who could not attend the reunion. ''The spirit of the Confederacy potent and poignant, stole back to Durham today, to stir hearts with pride and pity, and to dim eyes with tears. Aged, failing, storied, heroic and beloved old North Carolina Confederate vet erans, shadows of the gallant and stalwart young countrymen who, sixty years ago, leaped to arms for the South's sake, as sembled here today, more than eight hundred in number, for their annual State reunion, a record number for recent years. "From all points of the State Tar Heel veterans have come to Durham, from the old Soldiers' home in Raleigh and from other .scattered homes of younger rel atives, where they still tell the irrand children and great guand children stories of the brave old days. The "Old Boys" Swapping Yarns "White hair and feeble foot steps are common sights in Dur ham today. Confederate flags are flying gaily besides the Stars and Stripes as if the "con quered banner" had never been furled. Gray uniforms are re miniscent splotches for the few xemaijning who can rentember when a great army wore them to battle. The "Old Boys," who walked slowly, many of them leaning upon canes, are greeting one another with pleased chuck les, and are swapping yarns and chewing tobacco. This is a red letter day on ' many calendars which mark most days as gray enough at best. "And for the sympathetic spectators, no other conclave can have quite the appeal of such a Confederate reunion. Commem orative of happenings which are growing paler with time, this gathering of veterans is like a turn backward to a treasured page of history, which the south busied with its current allairs, is too much occupied to re-read often. Maj. Sledman Makes Address. ''The reunion opened this af ternoon in Craven Hall at Trin ity College and tonight's address of Major Charles Stedman on "North Carolina and the War Between the States," was the feature of today's two sessions. Major Stedman's address was a review of the proud part which this State bore in the War Be tween the States when, in the number of troops furnished in proportion to its white popula tion, North Carolina led all the other Southern States, and gave the Confederacy the men who were "first at Bethel, fartherest at the front at Gettysburg, and Chickamauga, and last at Appa mattox." KILLED LARGE RATTLE SNAKE. FOR COUNTYOF STANLY All Indications Point to Big; Things Being Started in the Very Near Future TO BEGIN WORK ON DAM? The people of Albemarle may see "things doing" in and around here before another frost falls, or very shortly thereafter, un like anything in the way of in dustrial and building progress since the outbreak of the war in 1914. There is no direct official information at hand to sustain this belief, or warrant such an optimistic view, but a number of circumstanced and outstanding facts would indicate that under neath th esurface plans are being made for big things in this sec tion. In the first place, the local mills which have been standing, are now clear of all danger of strikes or other hard luck. They are most likely, therefore, to continue to run at full t ime. Then we are told that the carbon plant at Badin is to .start up September first, with additional pot rooms to resume operations. Indications are that within the next two months the big plant at Badin will be running at full tilt. There is udercurrent talk of considerable building operations in the busi ness section, with a slight chance that a modern hotel might be among some of the early build ings started. In addition to these, many believe that the time has about arrived when the Carolina Light and Power Company will commence work on its big dam on the Pee Dee River just above the new bridge. (Just a few days ago deeds were passed from Rev. C. M. Gentry and others to that company for vauable tracts of land along the Pee Dee, adjoining the property heretofore owned by the Caroli na Light and Power Co. This is thought to mean something good in the near future. These are just a few of the recent develop ments which would cause, even the most pessimistic to feel sanguine. Cheer up, Stanly people. The Lord has done so much for this section that it can't help but grow and develop if every citizen will do his part. We may see things in the way of development in Albemarle and Stanly County in the next year which will stagger the most op timistic of us. DEATH OF FORMER ALBE MARLE PASTOR ant Wann. commander of the big D. L. Hinson, who resides 4 miles west of Albemarle, killed a rattle snake Monday near Swift Island which measured 5 feet and six inches in length. The snake had eight rattles and a button. Mrs. S. Austin had the mis fortune of suffering a broken wrist on Wednesday afternoon. She was returning from the home of a neighbor when she fell throwing most of her weight on the wrist, which was rather badly broken as a result. In our last i.vsue we briefly announced the death of Rev. J. E. Gay at his home in Madison, but at that timewe could get no further details. Rev. Mr. Gay i who was a former pastor of the ! Central M. E. Church of this j place, died at 8:00 a. m. on the 23rd, of heart failure after an illness which lasted for about an hour. Rev. J. E. Abernathy of Salisbury was assisting the de ceased in a series of revival services in the Madison church, and Rev. Mr. Gay seemed to be in his usual health up until one hour prior to his death. He was one of the best known members of the Western .Noitn Carolina Conference, having at one time I been presiding elder of the iMorganton district. He had a !host of frieds in Stanly, where he was well known. The body was interred at Hillsboro on Thursday. Rev. Mr. Gay leaves surviving a widow, two daugh ters and one son. A most beautiful floral design was sent by the ladies Aid and Missionary Society of Central M. E. Church, and a number of other floral tributes were offer ed by Albemarle people. CARD OF THANKS I want to thank my friends and neighbors for the kindness shown me during the i"r.?ss and death of my husband. Mrs. J. M. HartselL -
