CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C FRIDAY AFTERNOONSKFTEMBEK t, lWfl. KELLEY'S ISLE A FAMED RESORT Notable for Evidence of Prehistoric Races Which Are Found. CONGRESSMAN'S MXSH NOTES TO BEAUTY PRIZE WINNERS ET HIM INTO ALL SORTS OF TROUBLE Willi TttUUi MttIN UW UJ Thg most extensive, well sculptured and best preserved relics of prehistoric men ever found in America have been found on Kelley's Island in Lake Erie, contends J. B. Pierce, who has raised grapes on the island for many years. Mr. Pierce was recently married and is on a honeymoon to Cuba. Kelley's Island only contained a few thousand acres of land. It is situated 12 miles from Sandusky, Ohio, being three miles from the mainland. The island is but one of a ?roup oe similar islands in Lake Erie. Kaon inland used to be designate by a cortain num her. but during recent years they have all been named. "Now tl at most unique thinic alout Kellov's Island is the soil." explained Mr. Pierce. "It is called levonian limestone soil. Tho limestone rises closo to the surface, and is used for building- purposes to a targe extent. "Now limestone, archaeologists have found, preserves the remains of human existence longer than any other sub stance. Naturally therefore, had there been any e&rly life on Kelley's Island, the chances are that relics of it are well preserved. TEEMS WITH RELJCS "And this is exactly the case. The island fairlv teems with relics of an cient peoples. The oldest Indian relics jn North America have been dissevered remarkably preserved. Most of the digging by archaeologists is done in the numerous mounds and remains of earth-works of the antiquarian pe riod, all of them containing well-preserved relics. On the north side of of the island are to be seen large rocks which, in prehistoric times, were sculptured by the natives to resemble figures of their gods. Inscriptions of manv kincis are carved here and there on these iocks. They have been con ceded to be without parallel in America as far as antiaueness ard good condi tions are concerned. '.'People interested in the study of ..he early life of man in North America are continually seeking the island, for relics which they could find nowhere else." GKAPE INDUSTRY In speaking of the grape industry of Kellev's Island, VIr. Pierco declared that the. soil is Wtul for grap-? grow ing. The entir:; island is devoted to this industry, the Tatawba grape be ing the principal g--:ipe grown.. - "It wan about 1842 that it was discov ered that th.e island coulf". be madri into a great grip '-producing locality." con tinued Mr. ierce. "In about 1850 iho first wine fiom these grapes oeg.in to t.ppear throughout the .country, and with leaps and hound.- the island began to produce wonderful wine. It has -it-tained wide repute for this wne. i. -d the! demand! for it in the United Stes were tremendous before tiu coi.nuj went dry. . . 'Th island used to he covered with beautiful trees, especially red csdar, bu' almost everv tree on it has now .been cut down to make room for the vineyards. The island has several thousand yeo Tie on It. Hundreds of vessels an nually enter and clear there in the ' grapa trade. There is also muih de mand for the limestone in the Boil, and an extensive! trade in this is carried on, big ship loads of the. stuff being taken away dav in and day out. The island contains'a post .office, several soed ho tels, four churches and . a graood school." NEW SYSTEMMADE IN TRASH HAULING A system of records for keeping a positive check on the work of each driver has been installed in the ci v SSry "department by PMlc fjiety Commissioner Huneycutt. The purpose the svstem is to insure the piompt collection of Trash and garbage, follow ing the receipt of telephone requests and to check on the amount of work daily performed by each of the 20 truck and wagon drivers. Tfte department hopes to make prompt calls for trash atter a request has been received. Mr. Huneycutt said. The office receives an average of 130 calls daily for the collection of trash and heretofore no adequate records have been kept to insure prompt response to these calls. The 20 wagons arid trucks are divided among the five sanitary districts, one district including the up-town section with the residential parts of the city equally divided into four divisions. Four trucks or wagons are assigned to each division under the supervision of a sanitary inspector. These 20 trucks haul about 600 loads a week. The demands of Charlotte residents if promtply met would necessitate an increase in the amount of trash and garbage collected in a week. Mr. Huney cutt said. The inability of the depart ment heretofore to meet all demands has resulted in numerous complaints. The commissioner hopes, through the system for checking on the work of each individual, to make possible the collection of more garbage daily. LIBRARY CHOSEN FOR HEARING CASE The referee's hearing in the million dollar suit of th Hardaway Contract ing Company against the Western Car olina Power Company, which will be gin here next Monday, is to be held in the assembly room of the Carnegie Li brary, attorneys in the case announced Friday.

J. E. Swain, of Asheville, to whom the case has been referred, will be engaged on the case perhaps thre or four weaks. . It is possible, some of the attorneys, think, that the case may be prolonged to fix weeks. The greatest array of attorneys ever engaged to participate in one suit in North Carolina has been retained for the hearing. Five stenographers will also be employed. .:::: xv.:.s:.:-:-t-i .

Flopd, scout executive of the Charlotte Boy Scout organization, left Charlotte Thursday night for To peka. Kansas, where he will take charge of the Topeka Boy Scouts. The departure of Mr. Floyd is regret ted by the entire organization and those interested in the work, as during his stay in Charlotte he practically trebled the orgfanization in strength. Coming to the city a little more than a year ago, he assumed charge of the organi zation and immediately instituted a campaign to build up the energy and activity of the movement. A com plete reorganization was affected. Inter est in the movement was given a new impetus. The membership increased rapidly. With leaps and bounds the or ganization has grown to a member ship now 'of over 700 boys, and nev names are being added to the list in ropid succession. Chief vamong Mr. Floyd's attributes essential to the organization was his love of the outdoors.

The visitor then would go to a Methodist parsonage and repeat a sim ilar story, except that he would be a Methodist when pleading for alms to the Methodist minister. If he chanced to ask for help of a Lutheran minister, he was a prominent Lutheran and if he found himself at the door of a res tor j ne was. of course, an Episcor palian in some other leading city of the State.
