[ SOUTH TO HONOR THE
} I MEMORY OF WAR LEADER
Will Pay Hcnor to Memory of Gm
l eral Alwose P. Hill.
i RU’.imond, \ a., Nov. f».—Monday
1 ttext will be the one hundredth anni
| vemary of the birih of Gen. Abrose
iP. Hill, one of the noted military
’ i chieftains of the South in the war
between the states. In Virginia and
in <Hher states she centenary will be
1 commemorated by the Confederate vet
. erans and other organizations. In
J this city a pilgrimage will be made
‘ by the old soldiers to the grave of
Gen. Hill, in Hollywood cemetery,
Where rest the remains of so many
other noted leaders of the "lost cause.”
General Hill was born near Peters-1
i burg and was the son of Major
Thomas Hill, a prominent merchant
and politician of his day. The son
was graduated from West Point in
1847 and saw service in the Mexican
war and in the war against the Serni
lioles in Florida. At the commence
ment of the war in 1881 he resigned
his commission and entered the serv
ice of the Confederate states. He
was appointed colonel of a regiment'
of Virginia volunteers and was pro
moted to the rank of brigadier-gen
eral for his services at the battle
of Bull Run. This rank he retained
until the battle of Williamsburg in
May, 18(52. bn which occasion he
fought with such spirit and determi
nation that he was made major-gen
eral. * __ »
In the notab’.e council of war which
was held in Richmond on June 2i>.
1862. Hill was present, and his voice
commanded a respectful hearing as
coming from one who, even in the
short experience of ,*one year, had
proved himself a soldier of more than
common ability. His sentiments re
ceived approbation, and his opinions
weighed well with tho<se of Generals*
Lee. Jackson. Longstreet and other
eminent Confederate leaders who par
ticipated in that meeting. r
In the seven days’ battles about
Richmond Hill began the long and
memorable series of engagement* with
‘he federal army under McClellan by
driving the latter from Meadow
Bridge, thus clearing away for Long
street to advance. Throughput all
the following engagements during the
slow retreat of McClellan Hill occu
pied the center of .Ws army v and
conducted the forces under him with 1
the utmost bravery and skill, secur
ing thereby a reputation for himself
which few of his fellow-officers equal- ‘
ed. Hill's forces bore the brunt of
the fighting during the whole of the
campaign, and took the lead in f all
the offensive movements.
At the battle of Fredericksburg
Hill’s division formbd the right of 1
Jackson's corps, and during all that
hotly-contested fight Hill managed his !
force with notable success, and person- 1
ally distinguished himself by brave \
conduct. At Chancellorsville he oe- ‘
cupied the center, and took a promi- '
nent part in the brilliant flank move- \
ment that crushed Hooker's right. In :
this engagement General Hill was J
severely wounded. Upon his reeov- '
ery he was made lieutenant-general 1
and placed in command of one of the
three grand Corps into which the army
was divided. '
He participated in the *battle of
Gettysburg, and during the bloody
three days’ fighting was associated
most prominently with all the move
ments of the Confederate forces. Late
in the summer of 1863 General Hill
was taken sick and compelled to re
tire from actitve service for a time.
Before he had completely recovered :
he returned to the seat of action <
and while engaged in the struggle (
for possession of the works about
Petersburg met his death at the hands
cf sharpshooters. '
In the light of history General Hill (
is remembered as one of the most
couargeous, honorable and brilliant '
soldiers of the. South.
70-Year-Old Man Believes Work Is

Lumberton, Nov. 5.—J. T. Bryant,
who will be 77 years old on the Bth

since the 20th day of October 1923,
and has not missed a day during that

beat for a man over 76 and a half
years old.
Mr. Bryant says that during that
period there have been many times
when if he had consulted his feelings
he would have quit on the plea of
not being able to work, but he be

William Baker, Lawyer of

Facts About Real Life of
' the Slain Bandit.
MOTHER NEVER
KNEW THE FACTS
She Thought Her Son Had!
Prospered In Legitimate
Business Since He Left
His Native Horn.
Rochester, N. Y., Nov. —(/P) —
The veil of mystery that shrouded the
real identity of “Dutch” Anderson,
slayer, bank robber and desperado,
whose career was emled by a bullet
fvdm his own gun in Muskegon, Mich.,
last Saturday was pierced today.
In a copyrighted story the Roches
ter Journal and tfoe Post Express
prints the life history pf the bandit
as given by William J. Baker, an at
torney of fhis city, and to whom the
police of the Michigan city have
turned for advice, now that the cur
tain has fellen on one of the amazing
crime dramas of America. The rec
ords at Atlanta federal prison gave
the name of Mr. Baker as the person
to be called in ease of death.
While tfoe bullet riddled body of
George “Dutch” Anderson lies in the
morgue at Muskegon it will be tem
porarily interred in that city at the
direction of Mr. Baker, a widowed
mother awaits patiently in Denmark
for another letter from the boy she
thinks is prospering in business in
this country. The letter will never
come.
And to the Rochester attorney falls
the lot of breaking the sad news.
Madam Yon Tiller, representative of
a noble Danish family, never knew
that her' son. Ivan Dahl von Teller,
and “Dutch” Anderson, internation
ally known bandit, safe blower and
desperado, were one and the same.

RACES NOVEMBER 11TH
All the Drivers Glad to Come Again
to the Sunny South.
Charlotte. Nov. 5. —It is a long
way from Salem, N. H.. where the
leading automobile race drivers com
peted recently, and its a cold climate
up in that neck of the woods. Con
sequently, just as soou as they could
1o it the drivers began leaving New
Hampshire for Charlotte, wfoere they
will race on Armistice Day, November
11th, at the Charlotte speedway.
Fred M’agner. official starter of all

Harry Hartz, Tommy Milton and
others voiced the same sentiments as
did Wagner. They stated that the
weather was what you migfot term
“some cold” and they too would be
glad to return to the South once
more.
Announcement from the speedway
office today was that the first driver
is expected to arrive in Charlotte

low the racers already are wagering
on who will be the first of the speed
boys to set foot upon North Carolina
soil.
Despite the fact that tfoe day of:
the race is something like ten days!
off, the people of Charlotte are en-,
thused over the event and have taken
a great deal of interest in the race.
Speedway officials are predicting a
record crowd, a crowd larger than
last May, when 40.000 saw the
“knights of the roarin’ boards” com
pete for honors.

tors have pledged themselves to assist
in helping the influx of visitors in any
way possible.

OPPOSE CITY TAXES ON
AUTOMOBILE OWNERS
Carolina Motor Club to Fight This
Tax in New Bern.
Greensboro. Nov. 5. —Unless the
city aldermen of New Bern voluntar
ily reconsider their reported action in
levying a tax of 85 on all automobile
owners in the city, the entire legal
department of the Carolina Motor
Club will fight tfoe tax to a finish,
Coleman M T . Roberts, vice president
of the organization, declared here to
day.
Mr. Roberts has wired Lhe mayor
of New Bern, the editor of the New
Bernian, "and W. (’. Hagood, branch
manager of the Carolina. Motor Club,
declaring that the tax is in direct
violation of section 2012 v chapter 55,
consolidated statutes, and asserting
that the club would spare no efforts
to protect motorists in New Bern or
any other city from such a tax.
New Bern dispatches said that tfoe
city aldermen had provided a fine of
$25 as a penalty for failure to pay
the tax.
Mr. Roberts' wire to the mayor of
New Bern said:
"M T e respectfully call your atten
tion to section 2612, chapter 55.
consolidated statutes, which prohibits
any town collecting more than $1 li
cense tax on automobiles. There
fore. action taken by your aldermen as
reported in press is contrary to the
State law and you can not collect
this $5 tax. The Carolina Motor
Club will vigorously oppose any effort
on the part of any municipality to
add any additional tax on automobile
owners.”
Careful Treatment for Orchards.
Lexington, No<\ 3. — (.A 3 ) —Fifteen
home orchards in as many communi

P-benzine, to controll peach tree bor
ers. reports C. A. Sheffield, farm
agent in Davidson county, in which
county these treatments have been
given.
More than 3.000 trees have been
treated and farmers are beginning to
realize that orchards respond to care,
as well as livestock and crops, says
Mr. Sheffield. The orchards are scat
tered over several townships and the
treatments and results should prove
of much value to those farmers in
terested in better kept orchards, Mr.
Sheffield believes.

having done your very best.
Now, during these last days of the
third period, you can make sure of
being the winner of the big motor
cars now waiting to be driven away
by their “live wire” winners.
Bear in mind that you can pile up
the winning votes these next few days.
A little mathematics will prove it;
before this Saturday night a new five
year subscription to The Tribune will
count 175,000 votes (clubs pxtra). A
few of these would work wonders for
anyone in the campaign.
Contestants are warned that this
is the last week up until 12 o'clock
Saturday, November 14th that “sec
ond payments” will count for addi
tional votes. i
Bear in mind that the third period
vote schedule and the second payment
vote schedule go out of effect prompt
ly by 12 o’clock Saturday, November
14.
Keep constantly in mind the fact
that the big campaign closes forever
one week from that date.

JTS GOVERNMENT
I FOR AVIATION
IN THIS COUNTRY
The Committee in Report
Thinks the Government
Should Give Aid to Civil
and Commercial Aviation
WOULD CREATE
NEW BUREAU
This Bureau Would Be a
Part of Department of
Commerce Under Plans
Suggested in the Report. |
Washington. Nov. s.—UP)—Crea
tion of a bureau of civil aeronautics in
the Department of Commerce, with
broad powers to regulate and promote
all civil and commercial flying in the
1 United States marks the central rec
ommendation of a committee W eivil ;|
aviation which was appointed by the : I
Department and the American Engi*
neering Council last June to make
an exhaustive study of the question. 1
The committe# of which J. Walter
Drake, assistant Secretary of Com
merce is chairman, declares in its
report made available for publication;
today that the possibilities which it
sees for a development of commercial
aviation in the United States can be
realized only through a definite and
continuing program of government
assistance for the industry. The lack
of this, and the definitely legal status
and government control for the indus
try, it found, have been the Chief
causes for its failure to keep pace
with the development iu Europe.

ton market opened steady at an od
vanoe of 8 to 20 points on continued

growing uncertainty as to whether |
next. Monday’s government report will
confirm recently increased estimates
of the crop.
The further advance to 19.46 for
January contracts met a good deal
of realizing and some Southern hedge -it
selling, and prices eased off 5 or 6
points from the best, although suf
ficient buying gave the market a
steady “undertone at the end of the
first hour.

Drain Over-Irrigated Lands by Pump
ing From Deep Wells.
Berkley, Cal., Nov. s.—Drainage
of over-irrigated lands by pumping
from deej> wells is the latest method
put into use by farmers of the Pacific
(’oast states in their fight against
alkali or water sogged soil.
Drainage by deep ditches or by til
ing had proved to cost S4O to S6O an
aerse and had uusually necessitated
formation of drainage districts and is
suance of bonds secured by lands
which were already part of bond
carrying irrigation districts.
The deep well pumping system was *
originated six years ago. bot'tt has
been adopted in the irrigated regions
of central California until now more
than 400 wells ore draining nearly
100,000 acres.
The wells are 125 to 200 feet deep
and the water is pumped by aleetric
driven rotary turbines. Each bump
will maintain tfoe underground water
at ony desired sub-surface level over
approximately 160 acres. The prin
cipal point in favor of the well-and
pump drainage, is that if delivers to
the surface water available for irriga
tion worth more than the current
needed to run the electric pumps.
