Officers of two States moved upon the premises of Squire V. O. Bailes, two miles below Pineville, Tuesday night, the North Carolina law enforcers com ing uway with a booty of 56 quarts of bottled in bond whiskey while the f outh Carolina officias came away empty handed. Two sets of officers were involved in the transaction for reason that a part of the property of Squire Bailes is on the North Carolina side of the line and part in the South Carolina dominion. It. so happened that the stored liquor was m a crib that was located on Tar Heel soil. South Carolina olficers who search d the residence of Squire Bailes did not even bag him. He had left horns some time during Monday afternoon and had not been located todav. The Mecklenburg otlicials who were in the raid were Rural Policeman Brown and Johnston. For some weeks, they have been laying their plans to visit the hospitable surroundings of the -uarymg Squire, but only a few days ago, when they got in touch with offi cers of the adjoining county of York m South Carolina, were arrangements perfected to move the imperial wizardy of the law fraught in oe swoop upon the environs of Mr. Bailes. The date was set and the hour was named. At the moment appointed, the Mecklenburg officers pounced upon the North Carolina reside of Squire Bailes and ransacked his palatial barns in wnich is stored a plentitude of corn in the raw. So much corn in this type was found that officers are sure Mr. Bailes hasn't seen the bottom of his crib in a quarter of a century. And there was a superfluous quantity of hay in the loft, very fine hay in terms of tons. In addition thereto, the commodi ous barns stabled as handsome an array of horses and mules as might be fount on any farming premises in the coun ty, but it was neither roughneb or live stock nor cattle that the rural searchers after evil-doers were seeking. They were looking for that bottled-in-bond which they felt ,sure was secreted some where on the plantation. A crib sat near and into it they pounced ea?r!y. The door opened upon an area af thresh er oats, the like of which these officers had seldom seen. In their desperation they dug in and they further they dug into the oats, the more intense they became at length the hand of one-touch ed something ihat was after the simili tude of a bottle. Their quarry had been reached and they at once began to undo bottle after bottle of the fine whiskies that had been deeply engulfed in this superlatively fine mule feed. They count ed 56 bottles and found no more. In the meantime the Soutli Carolina officers were ransacking the premises of the Squire on the other side of the line, the Ta Heels sleuths being, of course, hindered from invading South Carolina territory by the obstacles of the law. And wishing to make no move that might involve the two soverign ties in warfare, each set of officers was strict to remain on their own side of the line while the searching continued. But the North Carolina delegation captured the liquor and the .South Caro lina squad is expected laterto deliver the congenial squire Avhose name in up per South Carolina and lower North Carolina is a synoym for the hymeneal covenant. CAMPAIGN OUTLINED FOR TEXTILE UNIONS "Washington, Sept. 20. Organizers ol the American Federation of Labor met today with President Gompers to re coive final instructions in the interest of the United Textile Workers of Amer ica. The campaign as outjned at today's conference not only will be designed to increase the membership of the United Textile Workers in the South but will seek to establish the 48-hour week and to obtain increased wages. Labor officials said that, in addition to the organizers to be furnished by the Federation, each international union has been asked to lend workers to assist in the campaign in the textile Indus trv.

ADAMS LONG A JUDGE. Has Been on the Superior Court Bench Since 1908; Appointed by Glenn. Raleigh, Sept. 20. Governor Cam eron Morrison smashed the hopes of contestants for seat on the Supreme court oench to succeed the late Jus tice W. R. Allen yesterday afternoon when he announced the appointment of Judge W. J. Adams, of Carthage, as associate justice; named Solicitor Wal ter E. Brock as successor to Judge Adams on the Superior Court from tho Thirteenth District: and appointed M. W. Nash, of Hamlet, as Solicitor to succeed Brock. The appointments were announced by Governor Morrison shortly after an imposing delegation from the coun ties composing the thirteenth judicial district had called on the Governor in the interest of Judge Adams. It was the largest delegation that has apppear- ea betore the Governor since the cam paign for successor to Judge Allen started. The next largest was for Thomas D. Warren, of New T3ern, chairman of the Democratic Executive Committe, the choice of a host of the many of the Governor's personal and iDontical friends. GOVERNOR'S TELEGRAM. With the announcement of the ap pointment, Governor Morrison d's patched this telegram to Judge Adams, now holding court in Guilford county "Believing that you are the choice of the people of the State for the Supreme Court bench and my own judgment being that you will ably and justly di? charge the high duties of that exalted position, I take great pleasure in ten dering' you the vacancy on the Su preme Court bench caused by the death of the Hon. William R. Allen." Until Sunday, it was almost general ly conceded that Chairman Thomas D Warren would get the appointment. Governor Morrison had almost com mitted himself to the position that t-ie East 3hould get the appointment. An avalanche of telegrams, letters, and personal envoys deluged the Governor, and when the appointment was made it was a question as to which of . ne two Adams or Warren -had the larg- est number of. ejidprsements APPOINTED BY GLENN. Judge Adams, the son of a Methodist minister, Rev. Shockley D. Adams, and himself a prominent lay memoer of the Methodist church, has been on the Superior Court bench since 190S, when he was appointed by Governor R. B. Glenn. Prior to that appoint ment, he had practiced law in Moore county, had led the forces of the Dem ocratic party as county chairman and had served his county in both hoe-s of the General Assembly. He was a member of the House 2ti 1893 and one of the six Democratic Senators in the Fusion Senate of IS'Jj and there won the admiration of Gov ernor Morrison by his ability and his fearlessness. He married Miss Florrie Wall, daugh ter of Stephen Wall, of Richmond county, and has one son, William Adams. When the death of Justice Allen created a vacancy on the Supreme. Court bench, Judge Adams was the firsL man suggested for the office. He was declared at that time to be the cho'c.e of the majority of the bar of the State. He is regarded as an able jurist, a man of keen insight, sound judgment, and a thorough knowledge of the law. Governor Morrison was under the im pression yesterday that Judge Adams would not be able to take his seat on the bench until he had disposed cf pending matters of the Guilford court. For more than iwo hours the delega tion representing citizens from Moor-i, Richmond, Lee, Union, Stanley, and Anson counties, presented the claims of Judge Adams for appointment yes terday afternoon. The delegation num bered more than 25 and was headed by Walter Parsons, of Richmond. The delegation included W. L. Spence, Her bert Seawell, D. C. McDonald, W. P. Jones, A. R. McPhail, R. D. Phillips. Chester Sedberry, J. S. Braswell, S. Robinson, K. C. Hoyle, A. A. F. Sea well, John Sykes, Gilliam Craig, A. C Honeycutt, and T. C. Coxe.

SUPERI OR BENCH :. 'r The Exposition. Bermaneni BOARD DECIDES Capital Stock Will be In creased to $500,000 in the Near Future. OFFICERS ARE NAMED. Board of Directors Adds Many Manufacturers from the Two States. The board of directors of the Made-in-Carolina Exposition, in special ses sion Tuesday morning, voted to make the exposition a permanent annual two state Affair, increase the capital stock to $500,000 and make arrangements without delay for construction of a large and magnificent exposition build ing in Charlotte. President John L. Dabbs was re-named as the chief executive ot the re organizer company, and the board of directors was increased, and also sev eral new vice-presidents were chosen. Executive Secretary J. C. Patton, when announcing the decision of the conference, which was held at the Cham ber of Commerce, stated that the direc torate, enthusiastically supported by the more than 200 exhibitors now showing their manufactured products at the ex position, was sensible of the tremendous success of the exposition now in pro gress, and, in view of the value in many wajs it has proven to Carolina indus tries, no other wise course exists than to make the exposition a permanent af fair. "The wisdom and forsight of that body of men who conceived and promoted the First Made-in-Carolina Exposition has been more than justified," said Mr. Patton, "and though this exposition was developed on a scale much more elaborate than originally intended, it was not possible to provide exhibit space for all the Carolina manufactur ers who reached a belated decision to participate. The great building which the Carolinas Exposition Co., will con struct near the center of this city will have sufficient floor space to pro vide for many more exhibitors when the second exposition is held next Fall." ENLARGED BOARD The enlarged board of directors in cludes the following named newly-elected members: J. N. McCausland, of Char lotte, T .T. Allison, of Charlotte; J: G. Anderson, of RockHall, 'S.'VC, president of the . Anderson' Motor Car Co.; Col. Jos. Hyde Pratt, 'of Raleigh, director of the North Carolina Georlogical and Economic Survey; J. T.

Old members of the board include C. L. Etheredge, H. O.' Miller, Norman A. Cocke, J- B. Efird, Joseph G. FitzSimmons, David Ovens, J. C. Patton C. W. Parker, R. K. Blair, W. H. Willard, W. E. Scoggins, John Paul Lucas, Col- T. L. Kirkpatrick and P. L. McMahon, all of Charlotte. OFFICERS NAMED . The officers are John L. Dabbs, of Charlotte, president, old vice-presidents are H. O. Miller and Col. T. L. Kirk patrick, new vice-presidents are J. G. Anderson, of Rock Hill, S. C, and Col. Joseph Hyde Pratt, of Raleigh; P. D. McMahon is treasurer, R. E. Scoggins, assistant treasurer; C. L. Etheredge, secretary; J. C. Patton, executive secre tary. This company was originally incor ported with an authorized capital of $100,000. Directors Ovens, Allison and McCaus land were named as members of a com mittee which will provide for a din ner Friday evening at Ivey's main din ing room in compliment to the heads of the companies having exhibits now on display at the exposition. It is plan ned by the exposition to make this an unusually elaborate affair, and It pro bably will be the only opportunity for all the exhibitors and exposition offi cials and directors to gather together during the course of this exposition. This event will be held at 6 o'clock, and will conclude at 8 o'clock, in order to allow the diners to return to the exposition at about the time when the evning rush of visitors gets under way. STOCKHOLDERS TO MEET A mass meeting of all stockholders in the original company will be called within a short time to hear reports of the officers on the re-organization plans, Secretary Patton stated. "Every old stockholder will be urged to retain his interests," he added. "It is mighty im portant that the Carolina Exposition Comparv should carry on, and this will be done with the result that the second exposition will be indeed a tremendous event in its scope and appeal to the man ufacturing interests and the public of the two Carolinas." It was explained that Charlotte was selected as the logical place for the location of the exposition company's building because of the city s central Ideographical location and ease of access from all points in the Carolinas.

Labor Federation Plans To Stage Disarmament Parades Asks American Legion and Join on Armistice Day in Great National Demon stration to Impress Washington Conference., By DAVID LAWRENCE Staff Correspondent of The A'evrs. Copyright, 1921, by Kew Publishing Co. Washington, Sept. 20. American la bor has asked the American Legion and other national organizations to cooper ate in demonstrations throughout the United States on Armistice Day not only to celebrate the victory of 1918 but to impress the delegates to the con ference on the Limitation of Armaments with the fact that the American peo ple confidently expect a program to be adopted which will reduce military and naval expenditures and minimize the chances of war. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, today dis closed his plans for parades and mass meetings on November 11th which may exceed m point of numbers the pro cessions of Labor Day in past years. Mr. Gompers feels that Armistice Day passed last November without that glor lhcation of the event which is necessary to instill in the minds of people a true appreciation of the sacrifices that were made to win the victory- The day should be, he believes, an occasion for expression of the anti-war sentiment needed to insure a program of enduring peace. LABOR TO DO ITS PART Mr. Gompers makes it plain that he is not championing a class movement He simply is notifying every trade un ion headquarters in every city and town in the United States that labor should do its part in what he hopes will be taken up by other civic bodies as a na tional celebration. When Armistice Day has passed, it is the hope of the American Federation of Labor a per manent committee of seventy-five mem bers, representing all the various nation al organizations interested in disarma ment and the cause of peace will unite and bring respectful pressure to bear on the conference, for the limitation of armaments so that there may be no doubt about the insistence of the Am erican people on practical results. Mr. Gompers is in communication with the labor organizations of other countries.

Raleigh, Sept. 20 He has been often in the moving pictures the handsome engineer who from his cabin on a speeding locomotive, sees a sweet baby girl toddling along the track ahead, jams on his emergency brakes, stagger ing but not halting the heavy trains sweeping down a grade, climbs out of his cabin, down to the cowcatcher in front and scoops up the infant to saf ety, with just a scant fraction of; a sec ond to spare. Yesterday it happened in real life, not thirty miles from Raleigh and with more thrills than any moving picture ever had the imagination to put into it. Engineer J. H. Furman was the man; Gertrude Collins, aged three, was the little girl; the Norfolk Southern was the road: Smith's water tank two miles beyond Kipling, toward Fayetteville, And he had never had time to prac tice the feat with a sack full of straw insead of a real, live, dimple-faced little girl. SEES GIRL ON TRACK - Engineer Furman was taking 25 loaded freight cars to Fayetteville, and running at about the usual speed of freight trains. Rounding a sharp curve and going down grade toward the Cape Fear River and Lillington, he saw the little girl walking along and unsteadily down the track. Her back was toward him. With one hand Furman yanked the whistle cord and with the other the emergency grake lever. The child was 75 yards away. The speed of the train was slackened but the weight of the cars behind thrust it on. Furman saw that it could not r.top before it ground the child to bits Without an instant of hesitation he ran forward on the running board., climbed down on the pilot. The locomotive was then within a few feet of the still un heeding child. He reached down and grasped her by the arm and pulled her up to safety. Her worst injury was a plight bruise on the head and a scratch ed foot. The train was then moving at ten miles an hour. MOTHER HAD NOT MISSED HER At home half mile away the child's mother had not missed her. She had wandered off toward the railroad, clam bered down the steep embankment and then onto the track. Furman stopped the train and began inquiry as to whom the child belonged. With modesty as becoming of a brave man, he retreated before the demonstration of parental joy. Then he went back to write the casual, matter-of-fact reports .that rail roads keep, and went on Fayetteville wards. Furman is 30, married, lives in Boy Ian Heights and Norfolk Southern of ficials say the coolest engineer in their employ. When younger he went off to the navy and served out an enlistment period. Then he came back home and went to work with the Norfolk South ern as a fireman. Three years of that and he moved over to the other side of the cabin, and has been an engineer since. SPINNER FRANCHISE BOUGHT BY CITIZENS Greenville, S. C, Sept. 20. The Green ville baseball franchise in the South At lantic, association this afternoon was sold to fifteen citizens With the under standing that the 200 stockholders, who now own it, may recall it by January 1 by reimbursing the fifteen guarantors the amount of the money loaned with interest. Is Wimistoim-Saleinni Day Other Organizations to ence on armament is intended to assure the delegates of all countries that they may ignore the jingoes and munitions makers and go as far as they iike to ward lifting the burdens oZ taxation which have crippled Europe's purchas ing power and indirectly helped to bring m an industrial depression m the Uni ted States. Mr. Gompers was asked what would be the course of the American Federa tion of Labor in the event that the conference failed to iea:h an agreement on the limitation of armament. Woul he favor the reduction ly the United States of its army and navy irrespective of what the other powers did. OTHERS Mt ST JOIN "I have always opposed and shah continue emphatiea ly t oppose any suggestion that the United States dis arm alone," rep td Mr. Gompers. So the movement of the American Fed eration of Labor does not ask the im posibte but aims to bring i-ut public opinion in such a way as to shov' the delegates how unmistakable is pub ic sentiment for an agree lent on arma ment. Propaganda ag'-iinst reduction of armament is already in -i!l -wivg. In side our own government are many men who doubt the practicability of any agreement on military or naval expenditure. Also there are those who believe the United States ought to continue her policy of aloofness and re fuse to engage in any entailing agree ments with the rest of the world. On the other hand organizations like the League of Women Voters and the American Federation of Labor and sev eral church bodies are keenly interested in making the Washington conference on armament limitation a huge sue. -ess. One way, they believe, that success will come will be by manifestations of public opinion mass meetings at which resolutions will be adopted. In other words the organization of all thosa m the United States who favor armament limitation is sought so that the dele gates from Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan will be fully impressed by the proposals of the American dele gation and will see behind them a popu lar demand for practical results and not an evasive set of academic principles WATER FAMINE AT UNIVERSITY Opening of School Post poned for Week; No Rain Since May. .Chapel Hill, Sept. 20. The contin uance of the longest drought in the his tory of Chapel Hill has forced the Uni versity to postpone its opening from Tuesday, September 27, to Tuesday, October 4. President Chase and his advisers, in cluding the health officers of the in stitution and the village, and Dr. tl. E. Miller of the State Health Depart ment, made the decision at a meeting this morning. There has been no real rain here worthy of the name since the mid'ile of May. There have been a few show ers, but these have barely laid - xj dust. The vegetable and grain croi d of the region have been killed. The meagre Summer population It to been able to get along in recent weeUs becaus.: it has been served by a wa;er plant designed for the peak load of the college year. But even with this relatiyely small demand a serious -ter scarcity has arisen. This morning householders received official notice that beginning today the water s?r vice would be limited to three two hour periods each day. A thorough survey of all possible sources of water supply around Chanel Hill demonstrates that the drying ur process has gone so far that, even if there should be considerable rain in i:h next few days, there would still be din ger to health in opening on schedule tinle. The trustees have authorized the es tablishment of an emergency wator supply to prevent the recurrence of the present difficulty pending the oor pletion of the permanent installations now under way. It is planned to eliminate he Thanksgiving recess in order to make up for the week lost by postponement. The members of the faculty are to have their initial meeting and will be on hand to perform the duties assign ed to ihem according to original sched ule. GREENVILLE HOPES TO SAVE FRANCHISE Greenville, S. C, Sept. 20. Busings? men of Greenville announced their in tention of attending the mass meeting here today to buy the local South At lantic Association franchise, if neces sary, to retain professional baseball for Greenville. The club owes about $7, 500 in players' salaries and assessments and unless a satisfactory settlement is made for these league debts, the fran chise will revert to the league and will be sold to the highest bidder. Players' salaries amounting to $2,400 for two weeks, overdue since last Thursday, must be met today, which is the last day of grace. APPOINTS DR. PRINCE MINISTER TO DENMARK Washington, Sept. 20.

GO VERNMENT IN NY COUNTIES INCOMPETENT Dr. Brooks Tells of Condi tions Found as Result of Study. SUPERVISION NEEDED. Most of Troubles Caused by Ignorance, Some by Indifference. By JULE B. WARREN. Staff Correspondent of The .em. Chapel Hill, Sept. 20. Dr. C. B. Brooks, Superintendent of Public In struction, speaking before the town and county conference at Chapel Hill on Monday night called attention to what he considers a most flagrant mistake of the county governments in handling their affairs in an unbusiness like way, and of the effect of this lack of business ability on the schools and all other county institutions. Indirectly also the failure of ,the counties to handle their business well hits back at the State. Ihe speech is a follow-up of the sug gestions Dr. Brooks made at the far mers convention here last month, and is one or tne most interesting and straight forward presentations of a problem the Democrats will have to face this year. The speech follows: "The continued growth of our public school system depends upon efficient county government. It is a fact easily demonstrated that in those counties which have had the benefits, of good progressive government for several years, the public, school system, as a rule, is better organized and more effi ciently administered than in the coun ties poorly governed. The cause is not hard to discover. The county is the unit of self government. The relation of the State to it is one or supervision and assistance. The county is likewise, the unit of educational administration and the relation of the State to the schools is one of supervision and assist ance. The board of county commission-, ers is the governing body of the coun ty, and to this board the public schools must likewise look for support. There fore, since unit of government and the educational administration are ono and the same whatever affects the coun ty generally will also affect the schools, and frequently defects in the latter are easily traceable to the same defects that run through the whole county govern ment. NEED ASSISTANCE. "The counties are not able to govern themselves and promote the progress of the people without State supervision and assistance. However, the State through a failure to exercise proper supervision encourages carelessness and waste in the collection and expenditure of public funds. Such defects inevita bly breed discontent and suspicion among the the people. This is true whether the defect relates to the admin istration of justice, the building of roads, the development of our natural resources or the education of the youth. It is my purpose to specify wherein county government is defective and sug gest certain remedies. "The State Department of Education has made a study of county government in several counties with special refer ence to collecting and expenditure of public funds. We were led to this study by observing facts while administering tfe State Public school fund for the year 1919-20. "One county reported that all but about 2 per cent of the gross amoun' of taxes were collected. It was easy to see that the law was observed strictly in. the expenditure of funds. This county was well governed. Anctner county. not many miles away showed a loss of about 15 per cent and it was difficult to tell whether the schools had a surplus or a deficit. However, it was certain that each year this county was running behind and many of its accounts were unnaid.
