The Lincoln Connty Sews THURSDAY, JULY 21. 1921. LINCOLNTON, N. C. THE PRIZE FIGHT MORAL CARBUNCLE (Continued from page one) mere "boil" on the body social. A boil has but one head and one channel for the discharge of corruption, but a car buncle has several. It is a complex. It gathers corruption from all over the human body, finds the weakest spot in the svstem, breaks down the remain ing healthy tissues there, gerenates its awful coruption until it heads up in a half-dozen different spots, and un less it is lanced, drained and thorough ly disinfected, it will poison the entire body and finally produce death. "This prizefight was just that sort of thing. It meant not simply the pres of one class of our defectives and moral degenerates, but it gathered all the poison elements of our modern society. The gamblers anl the horse racers and the touts, the 'lighthouses' the home neglectors, the baby killers and the pug dog nurses, the burglars, and pickpockets and the strong-arm the Dromoters, the plutocrats and the profiteers , and liquorites, and Amalekites and the painted Amazons, the doublelivers, the society divorces and the ploygamous movie stars (whose coming was neraiaea acrus the continent), the vaudeville perform er, the proprietors of the degraded theatres and all the other women ex ploiters, the Sabbath breakers, the church scorners and the God defyers yes, all of those elements whose in fluences are making for the overthrow of our American ideals and customs were on hand in force. The poison from all over the land drained to that huge amphitheatre, and this moral carbuncle naturally came to a head at the weakest spot in our body politic the State of New Jersey, with its pro-liquor, anti-Constitution, anti- Sabbath Governor! "This fight was not a spontaneous expression on the part of the people of their natural and normal desire for play. It was another illustration of commercialized amusement. We have today profiteers in play as well as in the food and coal of the people, and the dollar mark was over this whole sordid spectacle, and it was the money lust which produced the whole dis graceful affair. Assails the Government "Apart from all technical legal quibbling, the veriest tyro knows that the intent and purpose of the New Jersey law was to prevent champion ship prize fights. This piece of law evasion, therefore, will do much to nVenen the nresent disrespect for law and the alarming prevalence of law lessness, which in the estimate of thoughtful people today is the main menace to our republic at the present hour. "We cannot escape the full conse auences of this deliberate evasion of law running up to the very top, and 1 nm fool that the Governor of New Jersey and the other officers who, with him, winked at this known iniquity, should be impeached and removed from office upon a wave of righteous public indignation. "Much was made by the promoters and friends of this disgraceful affair over the fact that members of the o..u fomilv attended it. I can- not believe that if they really under stood the actual setting for this fight they would have attended. One thing I believe certainly is true, and that is that if Theodore Roosevelt had been alive he would not have gone to this Hioorn refill affair. "Above everything else. Theodore Boosevelt was a defender of righteous law, and I believe he would have given a stern and terrible rebuke to the slick sophistry by which the law in this case was evaded and defied. He was a lover of manly sport, as we all ought to be, but I do not believe he would have giv n h onrmiraeement of his presence in support of the man who now is heralded as the leading fighter of America, but who, when the real fight was on during the war, ducked and dodged and failed his country in the hour of her crisis. "Again, this affair was incalculably harmful because it fostered and pro- . ;m nrcv of irambling, and that under such circumstances as to popularize this degarding vice before the minds of the youth of the Repub lic. , . "There is no more insidious and de structive vice today than gambling. It lm.h.rminpS self-reliance and honesty It leads to theft to pay gambling debts j j.i it ; n lrilv enemv of ami, uieiciuic, v w the business world, and, in a word, it is the mother of every other vice. Says Atmosphere was Vile. "That this whole thing was evil and vicously harmful is proved again by the fact that not only gambling was n,.t,l ith it and flowed imme- diately out of it, but that other vices HeR m ..l.J iU ! .nnnactinn With it. nounsneu muo and the atmosphere that surrounded it all was vile. Yes, it was a shameful and degrading exhibition. A thing whose sordid and ugly elements so far outweighed any little element of aport that there is no possible justification ; of it, either on the ground or recrea- tion or sportsmanship. "The boast waslnade that the crowd i that attended this fight was unusually orderly and decent, and as prizefights in the past have gone, this was doubt leu true, and yet the atmosphere of II the whole thing was shacking and de- grading. In the subway and along the m streets, before and after the fight, I heard more profanity and profanity of the most disgusting sort than I nad heard in ten years before, and I saw not only betting going on allj around, but after the fight I saw drinking of outlawed liquor on every side. They had brought it over in thermos bottles, and they were dish ing it out in every part of the crowd where I could observe. "Yes, the atmosphere of the fight was vile, and the psyeholigical in- - na..tafl0 iinnti the rteo- nuences ui me r 1 piC WCIC u the psychology of the crowd at the fight I watched attentively how great waves of emotion swept over that mul titude when particularly vicious blows were being struck. All around there were set faces and clenched teeth, with such exclamations as "Go after . . t t era:-..-!. Uin. nn nun 'That him jacKi r HiiBu n .. .. .; . ,, I- idis gets him!' as a vicious uiif""' landed. And finally there was an ex- ultant war wnoop wnen w Frenchman, bloody, groggy and stag gering, was finally knocked senseless by a tremendous blow these things, I say, illustrate the deepening of the blood lust. And we are only at the be ginning of it in this country. , il tr crn hark to "Tn sum li an up aim.w n- ; --. . ,T- 1 ,...L ,i,l iinnn in a thought previously wm-w f brief, the whole thing was a glorifica-j tion of the principles of paganism, which are utterly alien to Christian ideals and the origin and genius of .... u land. Paganism is the exalta- uul .. . ... tion of the flesh above tne spirit, wc supremacy of matter over mind. It is the apotheosis of the soulless and the sensuous, and its growu. the supplanting of Christian ideals by idolatry, the worshipping of mammon the glorification of brute power, and the passion for 'pleasure, Yes, this nguu wk . "I am thinking, my friends, about the influence of the degrading affair upon the youth of our country. Not only did I notice gamming amus small boys before the fight, but, while one of the preliminary bouts a j k.,,tol fiffht hetween two Oioouy aim mu" men was going on, little girls passed ni.' l nMVA 'fnlrintr UT) a collet'- tion for a Jersey City hospital. The little child who passed the box in our part of the arena was in short skirts, and I saw other children there. Church Members Attended "This leads me now to say that the saddest feature of this whole affair was the fact that thousands of women . . .J tirA.U fantAIID Qcifll.V leftd- attenaeu. nuuviw"""" .. ., ers were there, giving their sanction and endorsement to the whole thing, I scanned the list of names, as printed ; th naners. of the prominent men and women who had boxes to realize that probably nine-tenths of these peo ple were members of some branch of the Christian Church. xne presence m at this disgraceful exhibition which was nothing less than a blot upon our civilization is an illustration of the fact that the church of today has sad ly fallen away from a full loyalty to Jesus and that multitudes of church people have surrendered completely to iworldliness and self-indulgent pleas ure. - "The presence of .churehwomen at the ringside is the culmination of that spirit of worldliness which started in card playing, dancing , tbeatregoiniT and other selfish indulgences, which things have sapped the spirituality of many followers of the Nazarene.

The result of our intensive and state wide health campaign in North Caro lina alone shows that the number of deaths from tuberculosis has been steadily decreasing during the pa3t few years. In 1918 there were 1,791 death among the negroes; in 1919 the num ber was 1,540 or a reduction of 125. This is all the more significant when we remember living conditions . among negroes, and the fact that they I do not understand the importance of I hygienic conditions. To more enlightened people it means a great deal to be sure that individual cases of tuberculosis may be checked; that the general mortality may be de creased and that only the individual co-operation is needed to put forward this great work which will result in untold good to millions in future generations. Preventions, precautions, and pro-1 tection may all be learned, and the better we learn these great lessons in relations to this disease, the greater is the hope of the race for immunity in the future.

SEVERAL ROAD SENTENCES IMPOSED BY JUDGE BRYSON In Lincoln Court Last Week Com bined Sentences Aggregate 13 Years and 2 Months Judge Com pliments Sherriff and Deputies, and Congratulates the County on Having Officers Who are Doing Their Full Duty In Bringing Law Violators Before Bar of Justice Court Adjourned Saturday Oases Disposed of During One Week Term The July term of Lincoln Superior Court came to a close Saturday morn ing, following much hard work throughout the week. Judge Bryson reserved his decisions in a number of instances until Friday afternoon, when he took up the postponed sentences and for a speli pronounced sentences upon perhaps the largest unmber of defendants for a one week term in the history of this county. The judge took occasion to say during the course of his remarks while passing sentences on the large number of prohibition law violators that the fact that such a large number had been brought into court to answer for wrongdoing, was an eternal monument to the vigilance of Sheriff Abernethy and his efficient force of deputies of Lincoln county. Road sentences by the Judge total up to 13 years and two months, vari ous defendants receiving all the way .from 1 month in jail to 2 years on the roads, besides numerous stiff fines. The entire week was consumed in criminal actions. Many submissions of defendants were tendered by de fendants attorneys, or not near as many cases would have been disposed of. The following is a list of the cases disposed of during the week: State vs. D. A. Troutman and oth ers, county commissioners, who had been indicated by a. prevision grand jury for failure to build the new courthouse as provided for, was nol prossed with leave. The new court ' house now being under construction. State vs. Otto Carpenter, chargeJ with carrying concealed weapon, plea guilty. Fine $50 and costs.

Washington, July 21. The republi can protective tariff bill, estimated by Chairman Pordnev to raise around hv hundred million dollars in revenue an nually, was passed tonight by the house by a vote of 289 to 127 pre cisely the vote by which a democratic motion for elimination of its American valuation provision was defeated. Seven republicans voted against the measure, wntte Lite aiiic uuhiugl ui democrats supported It. Oils, hides, cotton and asphalt stood up against a determined fight to tax them and remained on the free list. The Longworth dye embargo, first of the five contested schedules to go be fore the house proper for a separate vote, and backed by most of the re publican members of the ways and means committee, was thrown out, 209 LU I,-1. Forming and holding a flying wede, and airfpd hv republicans' not satisfied with all the bill's provisions, the demo cratic minority made the most of its chances and won on each. The ways and means committee lost out on three of the five amendments laid before the house. There was not much chance of im posing a duty on hides and cotton after the house, in committee of the whole, had defeated amendments carrying compensatory rates on their moniifaotiirod nrnducts. When the oil amendment was reached there was such a shout of noes that a roll call was not demanded. A moment later Chairman Fordney, trying to make himself heard above the dim which J. W. GASTON IS HELD CHARGED WITH SHOOTING OF CLARENCE MAUNEY Gastonia Gazette, 22d. J. W. Gaston, Belmont policeman, is held in custody charged with shooting Clarence Mauney, a young white man of that town, early yesterday mornin?. This action followed the rendering of a verdict about noon today by the cor oner's jury to the effect that "Mauney came to his death by a gun shot fired from the hands of J, W. Gaston.'' Immediately following the adjourn ment of the jury Gaston, accompanied by Chief of Police Orr and Deputy Sheriff Cole and his attornev Judsre A. C. Jones, left Belmont by automobile for Charlotte where it was their inten tion to make an effort to get Gaston released on bond in a habeas corpus proceeding before Judge Bay. Fourteen witnesses were examined by Coronor Davis. There was no evi dence of any resistance to arrest on the part of Mauney or that there was any struggle between Mauney and Gaston. The evidence was to the ef fect that Mauney was running when Shot. At 3 p. m., a phone message from Charlotte said that Mr, Gaston had been released under a $4,000 bond. kitchin Calls on his colleagues not to be MISLED ON THE TARIFF enjoyable community sing .

Some merely correctej spelling in the bill, some shuffled com mas, and some changed the rates, but democrats, still holding their forces in line, compelled a record vote. Just after the time came to pass th3 bill Representative Garner of Texas, ranking democrat on the ways and means committee, stepped to the front with the expected motion to send the bill back to its framers with instruc tions to strike out the American val- see, the acting minority leader. Mr. Garrett has ably directed the Demo cratic minority since Mr. Kitchin was given a two months' leave of absence by the house. The Kitchin message put additional "pep' into the Democratic fight against the tariff bill. The North Carolinian is popular with his col leagues and regret has been expressed more than once that ne is noi nere iu engage in his old time fiery way in the tariff debates.

Mellon Tells Senators Administration will Respect the Agreement to De fer Interest On Loans. Washington, July 20. The "under standing" reached by the Wilson ad ministration, deferring interest pay ments on loans made by the United States to allied nations will be bind ing upon the present administration, Secretary Mellon stated today to the senate finance committee, ine secre tary, however, did not disclose the policy which he will pursue in making collections and advised the committee he had reached no agreement with any of the debtor nations on the subject. The present situation, which the secretary called embarrasing, was caused by discussions in 1919 between former Assistant Secre'-rv of tha Treasury Albert Rathbone, and a Mr. Blackett, representing Great Britain, with the result that the "understand ing" was reduced to written memor anda. Assistant Secretary Wadsworth, who accompanied Mr. Mellon heiore the committee, declared a large part of the interest which the United States had collected upon its foreign loans was from money which the allied gov ernments had borrowed for that pur- pose. Figures were presented to tne committee showing that on the foreign loans amounting1 to over $10,000,000, 000, there has accumulated accured interest amounting to $943,534,755 which is unpaid and has been deferred. enthusiastic and united front in ivu and 1924 and giving them fresh hope of coming victory.
