.10, THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C FRIDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 2, 1921. PREACHER OPENS HOME FOR TOTS Union Count Welfare Of ficer Heads Unique In stitution. Monroe, Sept. 2. About one mile southeast of Monroe on the west side of the Griffith road, rearing its stately form from the brow of a gentle slope, surrounded by shrubbery and small pine trees, stands a large white-pillared house built by the late Dr. V. B. Houston as a home for his family. Now it is the home of Union county chil dren without family and bears the title of the Union Counyt Children's Home. It shelters thirteen little tots and gives them the benefits and comforts of Christian home life that otherwise they could not have. The home is the idea of Rev. E. C. Snyder, welfare officer of the county, and its object is to care for children whose home life is indecent or not conducive to good morals; for those who have no homes but for some rea son cannot be admitted to orphanages, and for small children who become charges upon the county for any cause whatever. At present the institution is not a corporate body, but it is pro posed to have the next session of the General Assembly confer corporate powers upon the board of trustees and to authorize a tax levy for its support. The board of trustees as at present constituted is R. A. Morrow, T. P. Dil lon, W. C- Crowell, G. M. Beasley, and W. S. Btakene. Rev. E. C. Snyder and his good wife are giving their time free of charge to the institution. The big house built on colonial plan, D0DS0N KILLING USE0FCAL0MEL Says Drug is Mercury and Acts Like Dynamite on Your Liver. Dodson's is making a hard fight against calomel in the South. Every druggist has noticed a great falling off in the sale of calomel. They all -give the same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking the place. "Calomel is dangerous and people know it. while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly safe and gives better re sults," said a, prominent local drug gst. Dodson's Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by every druggist. A lar?e bottle costs but a few cents, and if it fails to give easy releif in every case of liver sluggishness and constipa tion, you have only to ask for your money back. Dooson's Liver Tone Is a pleasant tasting, purely' vegetable remedy, harm less to both children and adu'.ts. Take a spoonful at night and wake up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid stomach or constipated bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause inconvenieace all the next day like violent calomel. Take a dose of calomel today and tomorrow ycu will feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't lose a day's work! Take Dod son's Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full of vigor and ambition. with a large yard and a splendid land scape view, surrounded by a forty acre farm is almost ideally located for the purpose. It has capacity for fifty or more children. It is less than a mile from the city graded school build ing and for the present term, at least, the children will attend this school. This is in keeping with one of the fundamental policies of the home, not to have these children any whit dif ferent from others of the same age. Another, policy of special appeal to many Is that no child will be asked for the name of its father, and chil dren of illegitimate or unknown father hood, will be admitted as freely and upon the same terms as others. Mr. Snyder lays especial emphasis upon this point. "The child brought into the world, under circumstances of immoral ity," he says, "is in no wise' responsible for this situation and should not be made to suffer for it. Some children of illegitimate birth have splendid mental ability and are potentially use ful and Christian citizens. If left through the formative years of their character amid conditions of vice and immorality their usefulness will be ut terly destroyed. If reared under more favorable moral atmosphere, but with conditions accentuating the difference between them and other children of regular home life, the danger is that their dispositions and ambitions will be so affected that they cannot develop into usefulness. It is the purpose of this institution to take such tots and rear them in the atmosphere of a Christian home, and to impress upon them that they are responsible human souls and that what they are or be come is the standard of judgment, and not what their parents might not have been." The good people of the county have taken the home to their hearts. Before it was opened a subscription list was circulated and above $3,000 in money pledged for its support. Besides this stores of eatables, clothing, etc.. were sent in. One good man sent several cows with the following instructions: "These cows are not given you. but ara loaned you. "When they go dry let m know and I will get them and lend you some more fresh ones." That is one time when a loan is better than a gift. When the writer arrived on the scene the other day these cows were grazing about the yard with the air of conscious virtue and superiority over ordinary cows which were not domg a free work of love. Another thing- that attracted atten tion then was Preacher Snyder's Ford standing before the door fairly laden with such country produce as roasting i ears, great big luscious tomatoes, sn ip beans, white head cabbages, Irish po tatoes oh. well, most of us know how many good things a North Carolina farms affords, and all of them seemed to be represented. That Ford automo bile resembled a produce market more than a touring car. The group of chil dren playing about it differed from the ordinary market place group, in that theirs was an attitude of certain and joyful anticipation rather than of wist ful and unsatisfied longing. Asked about the behavior of the chil dren among themselves, and especially if children gathered fromy over the county from homes where manners is an obsolete word and unknown custom were not hard to control, the preacher said that about the only difference He could see between them and one large family is that these seem to be a little more obedient and a little more consid erate of one another's feelings than brothers and sisters. There are 12 girls ranging from six to fourteen years in age and one bright little lad of eight. Of course he ge- lonesome sometimes, for what is a mere man child that should be ad mitted to the councils of the junior feminine? And what good is a buncn of girls when a regular- fellow wants to fight Indians and go on a bear hunt back of the smokehouse? But at other times, and most times, he is well Axel, for you see he is generally it "w itn out any such formality as "eeney, mee " elimination. ncji nu'Ji " , Although the home was opened only two months ago it has already proven itself. There are dozens more children in the county who need its influence. Financial support must come from somewhere to assure its permanency and development. That it will come the preacher has no doubt. His fait.i is placed in Him who once said Suffer 1:4.4.1, v.-1I-.t tr i-nmc lintO Me. SOITIO others who see only the practical si J of the issue are wondering if this insti tution is an acorn, from which small beginning will grow a permanent home guaranteed by a tax levy and giving to the world citizens that otherwise would be lost, so far as their usefulness to the State is concerned, and setting an example that other counties will fol low and profit by; or if this institution is to be a mushroom growth oniy, flourishing for a day and then wither ing and passing. WANDERING TERRIER IS QUITE A TOURIST Kansas City, Mo,' Sept. 2. Mrs. Ed ward Bearden noticed a fox terrier wandering about the street here. She stopped her car and the dog, without waiting fonan invitation, jumped in be side her. At the Animal Refuge on the Kansas side, it was found he wore a license tag issued at Beauregard, La., Correspondence with the Tax Collector located the owner and brought the in formation that the dog was a runaway that seized every opportunity to take long drives. His owner write: "I can't keep that dog at home. He seems to know when any one is leaving for, a motor trip and always finds some way of joining them." He told of having frequently sent for the dog many miles from his home The trip to Kansas City seemed to have been his longest one.

Albemarle, Sept. 2. For the first time since the outbreak of the world war Albemarle seems too be taking on her old-time spirit of growth and hustle. At a meeting of the Board of County Com missioners a deal was closed with S. H. Hearne by which the large Hearne Grove located on South First and South streets is to be used as a site for a new court house which our commis sioners have decided to build. The purchased price for the site is reported as having been $50,000 and is one of the most choice pieces of real estate in the city for such a purpose. The Board of Commissioners are figuring upon a design for one of the best court house structures in North Carolina. It is expected that active work will be started on the new court house as soon as good business principles and compli ance with the state statutes will per mit. What is expected to be an effective MOVIE ACTOR'S GARB GOT HIM IN TROUBLE St. John, N. B., Sept a. railroad lanorer aim 2.- Garbed as answering the description of a murderer, Edward Lew is, a movie actor, recently had a thrill ing experience. '-- f ' Lewis was taking the role of a naVyy. He was dressed in khaki pants, blue coat and soft hat. His hair is jet black and he is dark complexioned. Ho looks like an Italian, laborer in his Cos tume. Lewis was on location near here with a company of players filming A scenario for a Canadian motion picture company. He had been imported from New York city. Lewis separated at noon from the bal ance of the group and started to walk along the railroad tracks where the scenes were being nimea, picKing uei ries. He had walked about a half mne when he saw three men running toward him. Thinking they intended to as sault him, he fled into the woods. Tho. trio chased him and, after a pursuit or about three miles, they captured him. He was taken, despite his protests, to the police station, and lodged in a celt. In the evening, the manager of the company came at his summons to the police station and formally identified him as a member of his company. Lewis had been arrested as a mur der suspect. The man who enticed lit tle nine-year-old Sadie McAuley from St. John on the pretense of picking berries, was described as dark com- mf'o line I o n r etnr'tfar. in r'A i QP il nnrOVl - mateiy $100,000 for the building of a ' plexioned, with' jet-black hair and wear- new hotel for Albemarle ment comes as the result of which was held on Monday night when twenty-five or thirty of the town s bus iness men assembled for the purpose of working out a plan. The meeting was presided .over by M. J. Harris, cashier of the Cabarrus Savings Bank of this place and J. E. Ewing, manager of R. J. Honeycutt & Co.. acted as secre tary. A number of short talks were made after which the following com mittee was appointed to canvass for stock subscriptions: J. E. Boyett, chairman, Messrs. M. J. Harris, T. C. Rivers, A. F. Harris, A. C. Heath and Dr. W. C Fitzgerald. The commit tee was instructed to make a canvass for stock subscriptions and to report back at a meeting which was set to be held on next Monday evening Septem ber 5. - It is . generally thought by leading citizens of the town that the neces sary capital will be raised for financing the hotel proposition. On Monday morning A. C. Heath com menced to throw brick on one of his lots on East Main street for the erection of a two-story brick business and office building. A force "'of hands has been put to work excavating for the founda tion of thia building. The ground floor will be used for store rooms and business stands and the second floor will be used for offices. It is understood that the building is to be practically a duplication of the Harris building which is located on West Main street. In addition to these activities just developing a large number of new res idences are under construction and others are being planned. The news also reaches Albemarle that beginning September 1 the Carbon plant at Badin will resume operations and that possibly two or three additional pot rooms will be started runnirg again. Conditions are said to be' favorable towards the starting up of the entire Badin plant during the early fall. These possibil ities and conditions have greatly stimu lated business conditions in this section and everything seems to be headed to wards an ur.precidented building period unless something unforseen should prevent. liaing OJ.

In Scandina vian circles there is a growing feeling against the keeping up by France of her Black Lists, established by law of February 15, 1917. These lists keep Scandinavian firms from doing legiti mate business with their old customers, not only German customers, but firms in Scandinavia, firms of high repute and standing. Financial and commercial circles in Stockholm and Copenhagen are now at tempting to put pressure on the Swed ish and Danish governments to move in this matter and demand of -France the repeal of this war act. In some circles there exist even a ten dency toward retaliation against France because, it is alleged here, French firms are actually dealing direct with German and blacklisted firms at the same time the French government prevents neu tral companies from doing the same. In insurance circles the feelings may be gauged from the tenor1 of the follow ing quotation from the official Scandi navian insurance journal. "We consider it a great impertinence that the names of highly respected Scan dinavian companies insurance and oth erwise today, nearly three years after the signing of the armistice, still figure on the French Black Lists as aj punish ment for conducting their business on strictly neutral lines. We know that prominent French insurers look eye' to eye with us- in this matter and feel ashamed that their country is keeping up a measure abandoned long ago by America, England, Italy and her other partners in the great war. The Act of February 15 must be repealed and the Black Lists must go. Even the neu tral worm will turn." Woman's Two-Tone Brogue This is one of the new fall mod els. It is very attractive. Made of high quality calfskin in two tones of brown. Has low walking heel and welt sole. $9 and $10 i -i - . tion to the letter. Lewis said ne rear ed lynching if he had been in custodv much .onger,. as feeling was intense. The murderer of the . McAuley chUcl is still at large. The body was found seven days "after the disappearance or- the girl. It had been placed under a rock. BAPTIST CONVENTION AT SALISBURY CHURCH Salisbury, Sept. 2. Rev. C. S.
