'he Monroe Journal VOL. 19. No. 20. MONROE, N. C., TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 1913. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. MAY HAVK TO STOP WALKING. Fundy i Called Off by a Doctor anil Waiting to K-e Wiietlwr r X He Can Go On Trip Tlirvugh th. Mountains. To The Monroe Journal: Remembering my promise that 1 would write you a letter some where on my tramp, 1 now will attempt to Rive your readers a short sketch of come of my experiences along the ' line of the most daring and thrill ing experience a of my life. After l-arlng the dear old town of Monroe on May 22nd, 2:00 p. m., I walked to Matthews and Into Charlotte ear ly Saturday morning; from Charlotte to Gastonia. Shelby and on to Kuth erfordton, finding all this pleasant, and from the sale of my post cards . I enjoyed plenty of cash to meet all of my expenses. The uniform with "Coast to Coast" on the back in big letters attracted muck curiosity, and afforded the "pedestrian" much amusement, he often laughing up his sleeves. Now I am getting into the Blue Ridge Mountains, and here 1 cannot describe the grandeur of the most picturesque section to be found throughout the Appalachain chain. For me to attemept a description, of these high peaks overlooking roar ing cataracts and beautiful valleys below, would be a failure. All who have never been through here (Chimney Rock section) should do so at any reasonable cost of money oi time. There is no railroad here, so if you don't want to walk like I did, your nearest point would be Hendersonville or Ashevllle, which would be about 20 to 30 miles by private conveyance. Through here I spent two dayi for I could not make over It to 18 ml lee a day. Among some af the most interesting sights or wonders I saw was the Natural Chimney Rock, standing out from a high mountain several thousand feet high. This rock Is chimney shape and is 237 feet high, and to reach Its top you muHt do so by a subteranean lad der. I did not go up. They of fered it to me free, but I told them I had engaged all the walking I could do down In this country. On the other end of this great moun tain is a water fall, a continuous foaming white stream clinging to this huge rock with a perpendicular fall of phaps 2000 feet. Now look ing on the right, going west, you will sw, almost equally interesting, the "Shaking Bald iMountalu" with Its "rumbling caves." I understand this haa been a puzzle to geologists as well as to its native citizens. The three pools I, with a guide, went and saw. They are a fountain by nature In Pool creek, as round as can be, about 20 feet in diameter and 200 feet deep; all one solid rock. This they know, and yet have never found bottom. To know more go and see for yourself; I must hasten. On to Ashevllle and down the ' French Ilroad," a most beautiful sight via Hot Springs. N. C, ta Morrlstown, Tenn. Here I visited, with much interest, the largest poul try farm In the country, shipping ev ery week to northern markets a sol Id train of poultry, often 35 cars to each train. I have a photo of one of these trains ready to leave, es pecially taken for me. 1 promised to "write 'em up," but so far have not had time. I was reltubly inform ed that at that date there was a train load In New York being inves tigated, having been turned down on account of the chickens being load ed with too much sand 1 know It to be a fact that they do this. One fellow brought cock In tor sale, ind after he was weighed and set down In the yard he toppled over with too much sand In his craw. That beats "wet" cotton. On to Knoxvllle, 42 miles, made it la one day and had a tough experi ence for tho first time, and to has ten. I finally landed In Nashville and up into Guthrie, Ky. Here 1 was sick, and placing myself la the hands of Dr. Lester, he Informed me on the second day under his care that I must stop the tramp, and 1 decided to take the train for Dlr mlngham where he has a son who is a surgeon, Dr. S. B. Lester, and I am now here at the home of my brother, the trip not given up but malting developments (hemorrhoids) One thing certain, what I Bald all the time, only providence will atop , me. Everything except this looked good for a finish. Respectfully, "FUNDY." A Morning Tooth Talk. The following is a very good let ter on teeth: "Good morning, Mr. I. C. Busy man. My name is Tooth ('. A. Tooth, of the North Carolina Tooth Company. My object in seeking this interview is not one of com plaining, but merely one of expla nation regarding the feeling and condition of certain members of our company who have been work ing faithfully for you for a number of years. "It eeetns that you are such a busy man that you forget entirely to show proper attention to your teeth, those hard working servants and companions of your daily life. They serve you every day, and sometimes half the night, and bo far have received nothing but neg lect. "Now, you are a reasonable man, and so 1 am sure you will realize the Importance of showing some atten tion to these necessary partners of jour activity. Of course, you have thought about it frequently, and I truly believe your Inattention is not Intentional; nevertheless, it is harm ful, and ao 1 warn you unless you get busy Boon and show your teeth some decent attention your neglect will prove both costly and painful. "Yes, I knew you would admit the justice of my remarks, and I certainly am pleased to have you say you will give these hard working members proper daily attention. They will be able to serve you much better, and, briefly, you will find it to your Interest In every way. You certainly know they are wonderful little workers, and can do wonders for you, but when it comes to help lug themselves they are helpless. Keep your word and do the need ful, and I am sure you will find them ever true and grateful. "Good morning, sir." W. P. E. Colored Man Meet Horrible Death at Saw Mill. htm County News. While working at Nail t Wllkles saw mill William Hackney, color ed, was killed In a most distressing manner. He was working around the saw when in some way his glove got caught In the carriage and before he could extricate his hand he was Jerked on the saw. The saw first cut his left arm off and then pass ed through his body leaving noth ing but the kin, holding on his righ side. fter being cut almost in two, he pulled himself off the saw and stepped over a roller bench falling to the floor on his face. Some one turned him over and al though his heart and other vital parts were exposed to view strange ' to say he breathed several minutes before life became extinct. Bits of flesh torn from his body by the saw were found scattered around the mill. Those who saw the un fortunate man after he had receiv ed his mortal wound, say It was the most horrible sight they had aver witnessed. , Tie South the Place to Grow Cattle. Washington Post. "To a Western man, who has traveled over the famous old cat tle ranges which have made the West famous in that particular line of endeavor, 1 must say that the peo ple of the States bordering the At latnic and south of the Potomac, are not up-to-date," said Hugh G. Patton of Miners' Delight. Wyo. I suppose when tho country was first settled 300 years ago there was plenty of nice, rich soil throughout the country, but, with the erosion and the fact that the white man de pended too much on the others to do his work, much of that section of the country I passed through apar ently has gono to the dogs. There has been no deep application of ef fort to use the soil. I saw tens of thousands of acres of land which to day would solve the high price of meat problem if men would quit rais ing a few acres of Borne choice pro duct and give everthlng over to sheep and cattle. "Indeed, I am quite sure you will find Western cattlemen before many years with great herds on the vast ranges that are practically unused at the present time on the eastern slope of the Appalachian range. In fact, the people on Kastern land have got Into too much of a rut, and will not do or do not, exercise good judgment. They need Instruc tion, and if the forest bureau would do as much to open up these old districts on new business lines as they seek to employ men to prevent settlement of new districts In th West, we would have less to pay the forest burea and the meat of the country would be cheaper." . Another Crop Iteport. Monroe, N. C, June 12. 1913. The Commercial Appeal, Memphis Tenn. Dear Sirs: An Incessant down pour of cold rain for a week, with the thermometer hovering only 18 degrees above the freezing point, has sickened and shriveled the plant to such an extent as to make the most sanguine despair. This vernal, super-seasonable weather has not only greatly retarded the growth of the plant, leached the fertilizers, and given quietus to all semblance of cultivation (there are large areas of the county In which no plowing has been done for four weeks), but has been the most favorable possi ble to the growth of grass and weeds, thus rendering many fields foul beyond the hope of reclamation. With the aspect of the elements still promising an Indefinite stretch of all that is baneful and destructive, making figures as to condition would seem idle and futile. Opin ions vary, but my Impression, from observation and inquiry, is that the condition to this date Is not In ex cess of 73 per cent. Very truly. GEO. E. FLOW. IV-ath of Mr. I'd wm. Mrs. Joe Person, the Inventor of the famous medicine known as Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy, died sud denly last Thursday while enroute for a visit to California and New Mexico. Her death did not come as a complete surprise to her rela tives In Charlotte and elsewhere s It was known that she did not have long to live, but they were not ex pecting It at just this particular time. She had a great personali ty and was greatly liked by all who Knew her. She had for the past years resided In Charlotte, having sold her business which was at Klt trell, N. C. One of the most delightful periods In a man's life Is the moment when he slips a cake of soap into the bath tub and runs his fist up and down In the water hunting for it. FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITOL. North Carolina Affairs at the Ou tre of Thing- Mr. HuiIm.m in Washington Mr. Futch May Go to Yt nI Point. By Thad L. Page. Washington. D. C, Juue 14. The Senate is still carrying on the re markable "lobby investigation." The more recent investigations seem to accentuate more strongly than ever the belief that there is a sys tematic endeavor being made to cre ate sentiment for the continuance of the tariff on sugar. It has develop ed that the Domestic Sugar Pro ducer's Association, which is being lacked financially by the lliwaian sugar Interests, is carrying on an expensive campaign from offices in the Colorado Building to create pub lic sentiment, against free sugar. The cane and beat sugar Interests also have headquarters here, to say nothing of the lobby or lobbies that lr Is believed exist on the side of free sugar. Thus it is very evident that the sugar schedule is going to be the great storm center of the new tariff legislation. Senator Simmons, Chairman of the Finance committee of the Senate, ex pects that committee to get the tariff bill to the Democratic caucus the last of the week following. The general belief seems to be that the bill, as It passed the House, will be practically unchanged when It Is reported to the Senate. If it U not changed It will still be further re duced. As It passed the house, the following articles were on the free list: meats, flour, biscuits, raw wool, sugar to be free in three years, buckwheat and buckwheat flour, cocoa, coffee, tea corn meal, fish, bananas, jute, hides, India rub ber, Indigo, cotton seed oil,, cod liv er oil, potatoes,' sago, sewing ma chines, typewriters, print paper, pig iron, steel rails and many chemicals used extensively In manufacturing. The list contains many things that are used daily by the average fam ily, and tho Democratic tariff mak ers believe that by putting them on the free list the cost of living will be materially reduced. In an effort to obtain first hand information that will aid In modify iiig the situation existing in the coal fields of West Virginia, un In vestigation committee from the Sen ate, headed by Senator Swanson, has Cone to the strike district. B. F. Keith, collector of the port at Wilmington, wll in all probabil ity, be removed from office in the next 30 days. This action will be taken because he recommended col lectors for the ports of entry at New Bern, Elizabeth City, Beaufort and Manteo without consulting any Dem ocratic senator or congressman. It Is certain that Senator Simmons and Congressmen Godwin and Small will recommend to the President and Secretary McAdoo that such action be taken. The appointment of Major E. J. Hale of Fayetteville to be minister to CoBta Rica was sent to the Sen ate on Monday. This honor that, has come to Major Hale is a well de served one, and Is a source of great pride and gratification to his many friends throughout the State. Mrs. Metta Folger Townselid of Greensboro was the winner of a $100 prize offered by the National Association opposed to Woman's Suf frage for the best essay of not more than 500 words on the subjet "Why women should not be given the bal lot." More than 1000 essays were submitted, and they were Judged by the following distinguished commit tee: Miss Ida Tarbell. Miss Jean ette tfilder and Mrs. George Rlggs (Kate Douglass Wiggins). Mrs. Townsend expressed the fear that If women were given the ballot that the best element of our hoinekeep ers and mothers would not take ad vantage of it as would the riff-raff of society. The following names of those rec ommended for postmasters In North Carolina were seent to the Senate on Tuesday: W. L. Orraand, Besse mer City; E. H. A vent. East Dur ham; W. F. Flowers, Fremont; A. II. Husb, Cherryvllle; H. D. Lam beth, Elon College; W. G. Russell, Lose Hill; O. VV. Hill. Vlneland; P. J. Caudell. Saint Pauls; E. T. Mc Keithan, Aberdeen A. N. Bulls. Randleman; J. W. Noell.

Bowen, West Durham. Mr. J. D. Futch, of Monroe, was In the city lost week. He was here In an effort to get an appoint ment for his son Leslie, to West Point. Young Futch was appoint ed by Congressman Page to Anna polis, but on account of some defect of vision he was debarred. His mental examination was one of the best, and but for his eye trouble he would have had no trouble In get ting Into the Academy. The vision requirements are not so stringent at West Point and he has hope of be ing able to pass the physical ex amination. Mr. "Mike" Hudson, of Monroe, a member of this years' graduating class at Annapolis, passed through the city last week on his way home. He has a three weeks furlough at the end of which he has been or dered to report to the battleship Louisiana stationed at Newport News and will immediately set out on a cruise to the Mediterranean Sea. The names of Mr. R.K. Helms and Mr. W. 8. Thomas, both of Monroe, have been recommended to the Di rector of the Census for cotton sta tistician of Union county.

For two years cf Mr. W. T. P.au cem's course at Wake Fcrist Col lege, he and I have been In intimate friends. 1 have found him to be a genuine christian gentleman. He is a man of high ideals and d unit less purpose. On the rumpus ha was tactful; In society he was subtile, and in the class room he was apt. He leaves college with a clwin rec ord.

He was prophet of the freshman class in the year "09-'10; poet of Junior class and of the Ministerial class, chief marshal at Anniversary, and chairman of the Mission Study Com mittee of the Y. M. C. A. in the year '11-'12; and he was senior speaker, class orator for commence ment, and took the Bachelor of Arts degree, graduating with the dis tinction of "cum laude" In the year 12-13.

He has proved him self an excellent pastor in leading his people into greater fields of usefulness. Besides building them up spiritually he has lead them into higher thinking and nobler service.

Sandy Ridge Baptist church has held the first children's day exer cises In this section, nnd It was a very pleasant occasion.

In the afternoon the organ and the choir with ttuir sweet strains of music called the large crowd back into the church. nnd your scribe was called upon for a speech, and responded with a few picked up thoughts. Then the regular speakers of the day, Messrs. Marvin Griffin, J. G. Baucom and S. H. Rogers, csme in the order namedd and all made good speeches. Sandy Ridge church was organ ized about twenty years ago by Rev. J. W. Little and has been a flour ishing church ever since. The peo ple are clever, kind, and very loyal al to their church.

Mr. Ive's decision was made when he became informed of the urgent need for workers in the foreign field.

Ashevllle Gazette. No doubt many have looked at a man with one leg or one foot and have thought that It was a pity for the man that shoes have to be sold in pairs and that such men must have a vast accumulation of shoes for one foot at home. There are two men in Ashevllle, however, with one leg each, that have solved the problem so that their shoes cost them only half as much as they cost men with two legs. One of these is J. H. Mosely, who used to be an employee of the Asheville Electric Company. The name of the other man is not known. Even Mr. Mose ly does not know his name, but that makes no difference with the ar rangement. Several months ago Mr. Moseley walked Into a shoe store, and asked the proprietor if he had a shoe of certain number for the left foot. (Mr. Moseley lost his right leg.) The shoe man said that he could not sell one shoe he would have to sell a pair. Mr. Moseley remarked that it. was hard luck to have to buy two shoes when he could use but one. Just then the shoe man went to the door, and standing in front of the store was another man with only one leg, looking at some shoes. He came into the store and it was noticed that lie hud lost his left leg. It developed that he and Mr. Mosely wore the same number. They bought a pair of slices and divided them, according to their needs. Then they agreed that they would hereafter buy their shoes to gether, and later they made an ar rangement with the shoe man that one could come to the store and get one shoe when he needed il and tlie ether of the pair would be saved until the other man needed a shoe. (The late C. A. Helms and Mr. A. T. Broom, two old soldiers of this county who each lost a log in the war, used to buy shoes this way for many years. Tim Journal.) The rarest coin we know Just now Is the almighty dollar. Negro Boy Gave Skin For Brother' Cheat. Greensboro News. A negro boy yesterday morning n t St. Leo's hospital lay beside his brother while physicians cut away ?6 square inches of skin from his leg to be applied to the chest of the brother, who had been In the hospital for soma time undergoing treatment, and who did not have sufficient skin on his chest to re cover. After the operation of skin grafting both boys got up aud went home. The strangest part about the whole operation was that the boy from whom the skin was being tak en took no anesthetic, either gener ally or locally, and while the pro cess was under way did not even whimper. When the wotk was dono he sold It didn't hurt him much. The boy's name is Fred Malloy, and his brother, for whom he gave his skin, is William Malloy. They ara sons of a negro minister of UiU city. Such operations are declared not to be unusual at St. Leo's hospital, where skin grafting has been per formed frequently. A razor was used for the process and a patch cf skin six inches square was remov ed from the leg, being immediately removed to the chest where it will grow. William Malloy has been in the hospital several days. After he re ceived his brother's skin he was able to leave, and aparently both went on their way rejoicing. The home of L. M. Womble, a merchant of Plttsboro, was burned early Monday morning, the fire starting from an oil stove, and the family, asleep In upstairs rocins, es caped by the windows. W. T. Lassiter was found dead Sunday morning at the home of his father In Granville county, with a bullet In his left temple. Lassiter retired the night before in appar ently good physical and mental con dition and no reason can be assign ed for suicide, although it Is hard to account for his death otherwise.
