G W Poplin 25c; Albemarle Sample MASONIC PICNIC WILL NOT BE HELD HERE THIS YEAR Due to the continued rains and bad weather, the singing class from Ox ford would not be able to reach Albe marle before about the 6th of Sep tember, having been marooned at Asheville on the 27th of July, thus throwing them badly behind with their dates and engagements. The com mittee in charge, deeming September 6 too late, on account of the fact that the farmers would be at work then, and the further fact that the railroads do not want to run special trains in September, have agreed with the Ox ford Orphanage to take the singing class about the last of September or the first of October and havethem give two concerts in the county, the main one to be at Albemarle. The failure of the singing class to reach Albemarle was a great disap pointment to the people, but it could not be helped, and the managers promise the people a greater picnic for next year, and they want it dis tinctly understood that the picnic has not been abandoned, and that they will take hold next year to make it greater than ever before. They asK the public to help them in the great work for the uplift of humanity. The Enterprise expresses to the people, for the committee, their re grets in not being able to hold the picnic this year. The office of Swift & Company, of Raleigh, has made public an official announcement that ' $2,000,000 ac cumulated by the company in the past six years is set aside as a nuc leus for pension fund, the plan be coming operative August 1. Em ployees do not contribute to the fund, and $400,440 a year will be added to meet the demands.

W. M. BILES AT CANTON Rev. William M. Biles died at his home in Canton at 2 o'clock Saturday morning, after a brief illness. Mr. Biles had been complaining for about three days with some trouble with his heart. Friday night he grew worse, but just before his death the attending physician expressed the opinion that his patient was some what improved. His passing was peaceful and while he expressed a de sire to live and rear his children, he informed those gathered around his bedside that if it was the Master's will for him to go he was prepared and willing to meet the summons. Mr. Biles was born near Palmer ville in 1871 and was 45 years of age at the time of his death. He was a son of Frank and Dony Biles. He attend ed school at Palmerville Academy, Albemarle Academy, and Trinity Park School, Durham, N. C. He en tered Trinity College in September, 1898, and remained two years. After leaving college he taught for one year. He joined the Western North Carolina Conference, M. E. Church, South, at Gastonia, in 1901, and since that time has held pastorates at Winston, Kernersville, Ruffin, Newton, and Canton. Mr. Biles was a thoughtful and forceful preacher. He had a capac ity for friendship, was jovial by na ture, and as pastor he had signal suc cess. He never failed to go up to Conference with a clear financial re port. F. K. May, one of his stewards at Canton told a Winston Sentinel re porter that Mr. Biles' pastoral work there was being crowned with suc cess and that he and his family were exceedingly popular with not only; their congregation but the entire citi zenship of Canton. His death has cast a gloom over the entire town. The funeral of Rev. Mr. Biles, was conducted from the home of his father-in-law, Mr. Jamss F. Allen, at Winston-Salem, at 10 o'clock Mon day morning by Dr. H. K. Boyer, as sisted by Rev. G. C. Brinkman and Rev. J. S. Hiatt. Interment was in the Salem cemetery and the Junior Order had charge of the services at the grave, the deaceased, for many years having been a member of Scuthside Council. The remains, accompanied by the bereaved wife and six children, Mr. F. K. May, one of the stewards of the Canton church and a member of the Junior Order Council at that place, Mr. E. E. Clark, another repre sentative of the same council, and two brothers of the deceased, Messrs. A. F. Biles, of Albemarle, and J. C. Biles of Palmerville, left Canton ot one o'clock Sunday afternoon. They were joined in Asheville by Mr. John Allen, of Winston-Salem, brother of Mrs. Biles. A funeral service was held in the Methodist church at Canton, of which Mr. Biles had been pastor since last November. It was conducted by Rev. W. L. Hutchins, of. Andrews, a per sonal friend of the deaceased for many years, assisted by Rev. J. P. Rodgers, presiding elder of the Way nesville district, and Rev. E. W. Fox, pastor of the Methodist church at Weaverville. The bereaved relatives in Winston were met at the station by a number of relatives and friends. The body was conveyed to the home of Mr. Al len where it remained until after the funeral services. Attending the funeral services from here were Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Biles and Rev. R. G. Tuttle. Surviving the deceased are his wife, Mrs. Ollie Allen Biles, and six chil dren three boys and three girls; two brothers, Trux Biles, of Oklahoma, and Jule C. Biles, Palmerville; two half-brothers, Messrs. Robert and A. F. Biles; two half-sisters, Mrs. J. T. Neal and Mrs. Oscar Parker, of Albe marle. The editor of the Enterprise was a school-mate of Mr. Biles in Albemarle and at Durham, and feels that he lost a sincere friend in the death of this noble man. We take' this means of tendering our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved ones. ANTI-TYPHOID VACCINA TION GOING FORWARD The number of people taking anti typhoid treatment at Albemarle Sat urday, was unprecedented in the an nals of the Board of Health Depart ment. Something over 1,000 ' were vaccinated. All over the county a large percentage of the people are taking the treatment. Our county commissioners were wise in securing the campaign at this time, for hun dreds of lives will probably be saved as a result. (Elizabeth Evening Times) OVERMAN TAKES FLOOR AGAINST CHILD LABOR BILL. North Carolina Senator in Bitter Denunciation Against This Pro posed Legislation. Washington, Aug. 7.- Senators Overman and Bryan, Democrats, and Works, Republican, attacked the Ad- ministration child labor bill lln constitutional arguments in the Ser ate, the North Carolina Senator in sisting that if it were upheld nothing would be left of State's rights. Sena tor Bryan charged the bill was "dis honest legislation" and Senator Works declared it a step towards a despotic centralization of power. The measure was deferred by Sen ators Pomerene, Husting and Varda- man, Democrats. Senator Hurting de- i i :i. a i l : ii clared its opponents were hiding their real sentiments behind the constitu tional question. Senators Brandegee and Fletcher announced the beliefl that the measure invaded States rights. Senator Overman said that for a hundred years it was almost univer sally considered that no legislation could be enacted which was not au thorized by the Constitution but that now it seems to be the theory that anything not forbidden by the Con stitution could be enacted. He argued that the legislation should be submit ted to the States in the form of a con stitutional amendment. A Congress he declared, has exclusive power over interstate commerce, but the State has the exclusive power to con- trol its own domestic affairs. The bill which seeks to exclude products of child labor from interstate commerce, was an attempt by congress to do in directly what it could not do direct ly, he charged. Despite his belief that it is uncon stitutional Senator Works said he would vote for the bill because he thought the Supreme Court should fi nally pass on the question. He criti cised Southern Senators supporting it charging that they were too willing to give up the rights of their State governments. "The tendency to surrender the sov ereignty of the States is particularly apparent among Democrats," he said. "I have come to think that the rep resentatives of the Southern States will surrender any of their soverign rights if they can get a sufficient price for them from the National treasury." Freijrht Train Bound From Salisbury to Whitney Turns Over Near Hall's Ferry Results in Death of Fire man and Engineer. The worst wreck in the history of the Yadkin Railway occurred Wednes day afternoon of last week, near the Hall's Ferry Junction, when the freight train, bound from Salisbury to Whitney, turned over. Firemen I Misenheimer was killed at the time of ! the wreck and Engineer Foy sustained j injuries from which he died on Thurs i day night following. We are indebted to the Salisbury j Post for facts in regard to the wreck, j The train overturned on a fill, : from twenty five to thirty feet in height about a half mile from the junction on the Whitney line. Seven cars of the train, together with the engine and tender, left the track an l piled down the embankment. The cars were laden with merchandise, lumber and coal. One man was killed and two se riously, one fatally, injured. The man killed was Fireman Napoleon Misenheimer, who was caught under a lumber car and whose remains were net reached for some time. His head was crushed and his body otherwise broken and mashed. His remains were brought to Salisbury and conveyed to his home in Spencer, where a wife and three children survive. "Engineer E. R. Foy, who lives in East Spencer, was terribly scalded about the face and body and an ankle and several other bones were broken. Bursting pipes on the engine caused escaping steam to scald him. Brakeman J. L. McKinney, wno lives in Salisbury, had both arms broken and may be injured intern ally. As soon as the wreck was reported to railroad officials at Salisbury a special train with physicians was at once rushed to the scene which is about twenty-five miles from Salis bury, and the two injured men were hurried to Salisbury and taken to the sanatorium for treatment, arriving there about 3:30 o'clock. "Several of the cars were badly broken-up and the engine and tender were partly jammed together. "The track was cleared and repaired as soon as possible and was opened to traffic Thursday morning. Special officer Trazzare, of the Southern spent the night at the scene of the wreck. The exact cause of the acci dent has not been definitely determ ined. Some are of the opinion that the continued rains had softened the ground beneath the track and caused it to give way, while some believe a switch was responsible for the derail ment. A coal car was the first to leave the track and this caused the otherg and the ine to f ' Much interest was manifested in the news as soon as it reached Salis bury and Spencer and East Spencer where the dead man and the two in jured trainmen were well known and have many friends as well as at points along the line and at the other end of their run. "The engineer was the most injur ed and died -Thursday night. "The burial of Mr.' Misenheimer oc curred at Misenheimer Springs on Thursday, the body being conveyed to that place by train. A delegation of railroad men as well as other friends accompanied the funeral party to that place. Funeral of Engineer Foy. j The funeral of Engineer E. R.
