T i THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 2, 1921. 12 Governor Says Cabarrus Must Preserve Order At Mills (Continued From Pa?a One.) Visability of sending troops following the first appeal of two weeks ago. Ie could get no satisfaction out of Sheriff Carl Spears in his efforts to determine the need for troops at that time, the Governor said, although he personally called him over long-distance telephone. In this conversation the sheriff wou'd not advise to send troops or against their dispatch, diverting from this sub ject to explain that he could not de vote much attention to the situation because or court duties. Later, the Gov- Veteran of Civil War Still Hale and H earty It y y nf - "- V, pmmm mm GEORGE D. SHAW, Springfield, Mass. "To say that I feci twenyt-five years younger, twenty-five years healthier and twenty-five years stronger express es what Tanlac has done for me better than any other way I can put it," said George D. Shaw, veteran of the Civil War, who now lives at 321 Walnut street, Springfield, Mass. "I am now seventy-eight years old and I don't hesitate to say I have never known a medicine to equal Tan lac. For fifteen years I was subject to attacks of indigestion that wore so bad at times I would have to lay up for a week or two. For a long time I lived on crackers and milk alone as nothing else agreed with me. "When I started on Tanlac I weighed only one hundred and seventeen pounds and my days were thought to be num bered. I've been so wonderfully built up. I now weigh one hundred and forty three pounds and my stomach is as sound as a dollar. In fact, I believe I could eat the old army rations again without it hurting me in the least. "I never miss a chance of saying a good word for Tanlac and I would like to urge the boys of the "Sixties" who are not feeling right to give it a trial, for I am sure it would put them in line again just as it has me. For a man of my age to have no physical ailment, to be well and strong and en joy life as he did twenty-live years ago is certainly something to be thankful for and there is nothing too good I can say for Tanlac." Tanlac is sold in Charlotte by The Jas. P. Stowe Co. and by leading druggists everywhere. PRICES Adults Children 30c 10c Hi The Coolest Place in Town SHOWS 11, 12:30, 2, 3:30, 5, 6:30, 8 and 9:30 P.

THE BROADWAY A Charlotte Institution. a crafty ernor continued, he did send a "baby ish telegram" suggesting that they be sent. The Governor stated frankly that troops would not be needed in Concord if the civil officers would perform their sworn duties. "Why a half-dozen of us could go over there and handle the whole situa tion," he said. THEIR OWN RESPONSIBILITY. He reminded the delegation that troops are not policemen and that they cannot be stationed permanently in Concord to preserve the peace. "You gentlemen will have to estab lish a government over there that can maintain law and order permanently," the Governor told them. "It costs tho State money to mobilize military com panies and the young fellows in then have good jobs and they cannot leave their work every week or so just be cause a sheriff and chief of police won't do their duty. "Wha has your sheriff or chief of police done to stop these difficulties? I have heard of no one getting hurt be cause of their efforts to enforce the law. Have they made many arrests? Why does not the mayor or the boarj of aldermen fire that chief? Why do you not indict the sheriff? It is lip to you citizens to see that your sworn ofacer carry out their oaths, and it ;s not the duty of the State of North Car olina to be sending troops over there just because you don't make them dj what they have sworn to do. Why, the way those fellows handle their jobs you would have to send troops to Concord every time anything stirring develops." The delegation argued that the very fact that the sheriff and police chief had done nothing was the reason for the necessity for troops. GO AFTER REAL OFFICERS. "But we can't keep troops over there always. You must have officers whom you can trust to enforce the law so you will not have to call for soldiers everytime a tense situation develops. You had better do some thing towards getting a. government over there," said Governor Morrison. The state will take whatever steps are necessary to establish peace and insure maintenance of order in Cabar rus county, the executive told the delegation, adding that he wanted to act with deliberation, however, and after giving careful thought to the best method of procedure. He said he had been severely criticized and misrepresented in several newspapers of the state, including "one of the most influential papers" for sending troops to Concord. He said several newspapers reported that he had sent troops there upon application of mill owners and to help break the strike. Members of the delegation expressed surprise that such statements as he reported had been made, and they gave assurance that the people of Concord were highly appreciative of his efforts to preserve peace in their community and that they believed he had acted wisely and earnestly. WOULD NOT HESITATE. The governor said he had acted in accordance with what he believed his constitutional duty and the troops were not sent to Concord two weeks ago upon the request of mill owners to break the strike but after civil authori ties and citizens of standing in the community had appealed to him and stated troops were necessary to main tain law and order. He continued that despite any criticism he would iiot hesi tate to send troops to any county in North Carolina when the authorities made formal request with the declar ation that they had exhausted every available means of enforcing the law. In the case of the Concord authori ties, however, he said he did not feel that he couldTsend soldiers until satis fied beyond doubt that they were needed. Governor Morrison advised citizens of Concord, exclusive of mill owners and mill workers, to take charge of the situation and use their influence to clear up the difficulties now existing. In the matter of looking after the enforcement of the law, he said neither mill owners or mill workers should have anything to do with it. 'He de clared it foolish for the Concord author ities to swear in strikers as special officers and equally foolish for mill offi cials to direct the enforcement of iaw and maintenance of order. AGAINST OFFICERS. The fervency with which members of the delegation made plans for launch ing the movement for the ousting of Chief of Police C. A. Robinson and Sheriff-arl Spears indicated that they were determined that these officers must go and their places filled with men who can be relied upon to perforin their sworn duties under all circum stances. They went so far as to sug gest men for the police chief and sev eral names wrere mentioned. The state ment was made that a majority of Con cord residents would join in the move ment for the establishment of a "gov-e-riment" -n Cabarrus county. J. A. Gibson, lumber manufacturer, was the leader of the grcup which plan ned the movement, and suggestions were made in an earnest manner by several business men, including J. B. Sherrill. editor of The Concord Tribune, and a number of merchants of the city, and one minister. All admitted ihe governor was right in his criticism of them for their pre vious inactivity and the declaration was made that they should be ashamed of the "call-down." News of the alleged failure, of Sheriff Spears ad Police Chief Robinson to handle strike troubles was first told in The Charlotte News, which printed a f-pecial article Monday iwo weeks ago, the day of arrival of troops, giving an account of the apparent attitude of these two officials and telling of denun atiois from Concord pulpits. FIRST DEFINITE MOVE Concord people were apparently slow in realizing this fact, or hesitant in tak ing action rgainst the officers, because the movement started yesterday is the first of a definite character inaugurat ed although first signs of "official weak ress" developed over two weeks ago. The News announced in the article the probability of an investigation by state officials. This terminated in a confer ence between Adjutant General Metts and city and county officials during which Sheriff Spears pledged his sup port to the military, although he pre viously had announced his decision to "wash his hands" of the whole af fair. Immediately after his arrival in Char lotte at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Governor Morrison went into conference with Adjutant General Metts. When a group of newspaper men arrived the governor had just been informed er roneously, it developed later that the strike had been ended as the result of an agreement between textile union leaders and Robert W. McWade, federal labor conciliator. He was informed otherwise when L. M. Earnhardt, of Concord, member of the international executive committee of the textile union, and President F. M..
