HE MONROE JOURNA PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS. 7 JL VOL.20. NO. 33. MONROE, N C, TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 1914. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. MIMIC WAR BECOMES KEAL. Airships Which Indertook to Pull Oil War Stunt Were Wrecked and Nine Lives Lost. Vienna Dispatch, June 20th. Nine burned and mutilated bodies, the splintered fragments of an aero plane and the charred remnants of a big dirigible balloon are the mute records of one of the most tragic certainly the most sensational of disasters which have occurred since man learned to fly. The catastrophe, which resulted in the death of all concerned, nine officers and men, ' followed a mimic attack by the aero plane on the derigible at a great height during the Austrian manoeuv res and served to show, more than any previous accidents to flying ma chines have done, the horrors that would be likely to attend aerial war fare. The dirigible military balloon Koertling early today left Fischa niend, 11 miles from Vienna, manned by Capt. Johann Hauswlrth, in com mand, Lieut. Ernest Hofstetter, Lieut. Bruer, Lieut. Haldinger, Cor poral Hadima, Corpal Weber and En gineer Kammerer. A half an hour later a military bi plane, with Lieut. Flats and Lieut. Hoosta aboard, started in pursuit. It was the Intention of Capt Haus wlrth to take photographs of the movements of the troops below and then to join in the maneoeuvres. At the same time he was to keep out of range of any of the mosquito craft which might peek to attack bim. The news had gone abroad that something in the nature of a sham aerial fight would take place, and at Joeingsberg, the scene of the en campment, a big crowd had gathered. Very quickly the smaller, but much speedier craft, overtook the big air ship, and then the spectators wit nessed a thrilling sight. As might a wasp bent on attack- ship, and then the spectators wit ing some clumsy enemy, the aero plane circled several times around the balloon, now darting close to her, and then away, always apparently steering off just In time to avoid an actual collision. Meanwhile the balloon continued to rise until it was about 1,300 feet from the ground. The aeroplane, at a still greater height, manoeuvred until ' it appeared to be nearly over the airship. Then it began Its de scent. It was the evident intention of the pilot of the aeroplane to take up a position directly above the di rigible, within striking distance, out owing to a fatal miscalculation of distance or speed, the nose of the biplane struck the envelope of the alrshlo and ripped it wide open. A tremendous explosion followed, the balloon burst into flames, which enveloped the biplane. Almost at the moment of the explosion the wife of Lieut. Hosteller, who had been married only a month, arrived In u motor car. Lieut. Fllaz, when extricated from the wreckage of the aeroplane, show ed faint signs of life, but expired al most immediately. All the others were killed instantly. Military officers who attended the disaster said that the manoeuvres had been undertaken with instruc lion to carry out a far us possible actual war conditions, in which aero planes attacked a derigible, the lat ter trying to repel the assault. The orupants of both craft had been or dered to conduct themselves as they would In actual combat. The Whiskey Fvil. In an address before the North fnrnllna Medical Society at Raleigh Inst week. Dr. J. M. Parrott paid his respects to the whiskey evil in the following strong language: "Every intelligent man knows that it Is ten thousand times more destructive than war, that it has no food value, that it causes more crime than all other agencies combined, that it defies nature, curses God: that it lowers vitality, invites dis ease, that its deadly Dream mows out the mental flame from one of everv four that sit in mental dark ness; that not satisfied with cursing homes, stabbing hearts, blighting tmtios. damning souls, it shoots the forked lightning of its blasting cursedness beyond life as it lives, into the future and takes Its awful nil nf nroeenv even to the fourth and fifth generation. It is more to be dreaded than a maddog. On ev ery occasion It should be booted and tho hnnt thrown away. "As a medicine, in the opinion of many of our greatest doctors, it has iiv no value. The great weight of scientific evidence leads to the conclusion that alconoi is an un mitigated evil. It is about, if not al ready, to be eliminated from the pharmacopeia. The figures garner ed by the State Board of Health ahnw thnt onlv three-fourths Of a tahiosnnnnful npr vear Der patient Is prescribed by our best and highest class physicians, mat n is noi em cient as a medicine, is easily shown hv tho fart that manv of our best iinrtora never give It at all. There r number of cities in North Car olina In which it is not kept at the drug stores, and where no prescrip tion have been written for it since Statewide prohibition went into ef fect. "When the Legislature permitted doctors to prescribe intoxicants for bona fide patients, It gave them un- USUUai power iuu cuiiuuou m fiduciary trust. This confidence must be kept inviolate., a ions this trust is Imposed in us, we must nmvA rorrpant to it. He Who breaks It is worse than an Aschan." LOOKS JOOD TO LAN FY. SIX LIONS OX HIS I1ACK. Former Vnlon County Man Writes From West Florida about Crojis, Condition!i and OpHrtuni(lea. To the Editor of The Journal. !'or ten days I, with others, have b.'eu rejoicing in the copious rains which have descended and watered the thirsty earth. As you know, the reports are that we have bad the longest dry spell on record at both the Mobile and Pensacola weather stations. About twelve weeks with less than one inch of precipitation. From planting time to corn in the tassel there was no rain and yet strange to say there was very little corn ruined. To be sure, we have the "Williamson Flan" highly exemplifi ed, but with the finest root growth In the history of farming here we ex pect to raise abundant crops of cot ton and corn. The greatest sufferer is watermelons. They are being ship ped out, but the average is only about twenty-two pounds, and the price will not be very satisfactory, I fear. Cot ton has been blooming since the first of June, and as a dry spring is the salvation of cotton, I predict a bump er crop in this section. I noticed in your estimable paper that some party had grossed 11800 on last year's crop In Union county with a two-horse farm. Last year I ginned twenty-three bales of 550 lbi. of cotton from seventeen acres, and the Banie party made four hundred bushels of com and the patch crops such as garden stuff, cane and pota totes, with one mule, one negro and 9250 worth of fertilizer. Another man made seventeen bales on eleven acres, another man made three bales on two acres, and numbers a bale to the acre with only regular fertiliza tion. Land is as easily cultivated by half as there, or one can cultivate twice as much with the same effort. Albert Helms has in cultivation 50 acres and has had time to put in part of his time Ashing, part draylng, and is now saw-milling, and all with two little 700-pound mules he brought here from Mineral Springs, N. C, in January of this year. Corn is all laid by and cotton will be cultivated about twice more. People are just tumbling over each other to get here before the cut over lands are all taken up aad the lands get higher and with the publicity this section Is getting now we feel that we will have the best country on the globe in the near future. Forty miles north of here you cannot buy land for love or money, and yet the soil here Is the same. What's the mat ter? That section Is settled by peo ple from a little farther north and as they hunt land they come nearer this way each time a new settlement is started. A new line of railroad is now being promoted from Birmingham to the gulf right through Chlpley. In fact, the lino is open from here to the bay and gulf. Coal now costs us only $2.65 F. O. 11. Chlpley and with the completion of the new line this price will be reduced. In the less than throe years 1 have been lnre this town has made an In crease in population ot CO per cent. The surrounding country has also made a like iiureai-e as indicated by gin receipts. Laud Is cheap, nnd eas'ly bought, range is frci , water and health are good, roads are the best in the world, and there are plen ty of schools and churches. I do not advise anybody to do anything, and no one should make any half hearted change, but the "hand-writing Is on the wall" and all may read who will. I remember once your invitation that I write occasionally to your pa per. My reply was "I will have to boost West Florida." This was two years ago. I see no reason to change my reply. The sunshine and breezes, climate, health, and the pursuit of wealth, productive soil, good roads, schools and churches, good people, plenty of room, and many more ad vantages all beckon to the family further north. One warning, there are here, as everywhere, too many people who are trying to make their living off the farms. For the bulk of these there is no better place than where you are. Now, in conclusion, this town Is full of automobiles. The Bay and Gulf is only a short distance south of us. There is lots of shade, a lovely country to look at, it Is summer time, all these things, and more, are at the beck and call of the visitor. Where are you going to spend your outing? Respectfully yours, W. THOS. LAN'EY. Chlpley, Fla., June 20. Cliii-aifo KceM-r Wa.s Killed Sunday Uy Hi Uentle IVts Body Res cued With a Fire Hook. Chicago Dispatch, June 21st. Emerson D. Dietrich, manager of a theatrical production presenting a troup of trained Hons, was killed and partly devoured tonight by six lions when he entred the car in which they were caged. While the keeper's were recovering Dietrich's body, & lion escaped from an adjoining cage and terrorized the residents of the thickly populated quarter lu which the car stood. The escaped lion finally was driv en back to Its car, having harmed no one. A pike pole from the fire depart ment was used to withdraw Die trich's body from the lions, after it had been sprinkled .with formalde hyde to drive the animals away. George McChord, keeper of the lions, was unable to help Dietrich. "When he went In the den," Mc Chord said, "Teddy, the leader of the attack against Dietrich, began to play with him and he told the beast to get down. Four of the lions were facing him. Finally Teddy slunk around behind, and in a minute was on his back. Four others then leap ed for him and I think his neck was broken. 'Trilby, the oldest of the lions, tried to save him, but the others pushed her away and she quit and watched them without joining in the attack." The lions were owned by Mine. Adgie Castillo, to whom Dietrich was engaged to be married. She said she formely.had taken care ot them her self and that they never before had given indications of being vicious. She attributed the attack to the fact that the car was dark when Dietrich entered. The lions while attacking Dietrich kept up an incessant roaring which attracted a great crowd. They were confined in an ordinary box car, in the ends of which Bteel cages had been built, reaching within a tew feet of the top, and leaving a pass ageway abount two feet wide be tween them. In one cage were the six older lions and In the other four younger ones. A score ot policemen and members of a fire company were needed to withdraw Dietrich's' body from the cage. After the disinfectant had been thrown into the den the animals made repeated plunges at the bars, just outside of which the rescuers were working. With the aid of. a; pike pole a rope was dropped around the body, but the Interference of the Hons pre- vented the rescuers lifting it over the bars. Finally tho plko caught a belt worn by Dietrich and the body was recovered. The lions have been used In hundreds of public per formances, according to Mine. Cas tillo, five or six of them liberated on the stage together to perform un der her direction. She always has controlled them with a short whip. A Pure Man in Whom There Was No tiulle. From an excellent sketch of the late Mr. Jas. C. Marshall by Mr. R. E, Little in the Wadesboro Messen ger, we copy the folowlng signifi cant paragraph: His life was a snecess, and added much to the welfare of the town and county. He was honest, brave and just, with a soul brimful of love and sympathy for his fellowman, and gen erous to a fault. At Monroe in July, 1907, during the trial of the case of the State against John Jones, Mr. Marshall testified to the good char acter of all the State's witnesses. On cross examination he was asked if he was not frequently a character witness, and If he had ever In his life given a man a bad character. He said: "I have often been called on to prove character, but I never have given a man a bad character, and I hope I will never have to, for I don't want to say anything bad about any body." No man in the county has given more In charity and kindness, in proportion to bis estate, than Jas. C. Marshall, and he was the best be loved man in the county. In Memory of Mr. Klmiru Rebecca Howie. Written for The Journal. Just as the sun was sinking in the west, so sank the spirit of this good woman to rest, on June 18th, in tin "tith Vear of her age, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. l'attie Porter In Monroe, N. C. Funeral services were conducted hy Rev. Dr. Weaver and ltev. Dr. Gurney. Her earthly remains were laid to rest In the cemetery at Mat thews, her old home, where she had long been a member of the Presby terian church. She has entered Into life, for death Is to the christian but the entrance Into life, the door through which the christian passes into the presence of God. As she lived, so she died, quietly, peacefully; without a murmur or a sigh she fell asleep in the arms of Him whom she had served so long The BcrlpturesVery aptly and beau- tifully speak ot the christian's death as asleep: "Now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept." "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep In Jesus will God bring with Him." Just as we go to sleep at night wearied with the work of the day, and awake in the morning fresh and vigorous, so does the christian go to sleep in this world's night weary and worn with the work of life, to awak en at the trumpet's sound to the sec ond and better morning. The path of the just is a shining light that shlneth more and more unto the per fect day. In Heaven, unaltered by the flight of years, untouched by summer's heat or winter's frost, de scending from the timeless life, and returning to it again, eternal as the nature of God, our christian dead shall dwell evermore in the pres ence of God. What is to the be reaved daughters and son's great loss is her immeasurably great gain, for she Is one ot that great company who have "Come out of great tribula tions and have washed their robes and made them white- in the blood of the lamb" where "the lamb which Is In the midst of the ttirone shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of water; and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." "And I heard a voice from Heaven saying unto me: Write blessed are the dead which die In the Lord from henceforth: yea saith the spirit that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them." A NEIGHBOR. DIED IN ELECTRIC CHAIR. Rowan County Murderer Went to His End In the I'sual Manner of His Kind Father and Brother!! of Vic tint Present. News and Observer, 20th. Sid Finger, the boy murderer of Preston Lyerly of Rowan county, was electrocuted yesterday morning in the death chamber ot the State Pris on, his execution being the fourteenth. Finger's religious fervor which promised an outburst yesterday morning early was absent. He walk ed with the usual nerve of the pris oner under doom, bit his lips occa sionally and sat down to an easy death without help from his attend ants. He was not the most courage ous of the men who have died in the chair, but he was far from the most cowardly. He met the test like the dull brnte that he was, little under standing what life and death mean except the primal instinct to preserve. Finger spoke to nobody and utter ed not a sound but an audible prayer while being strapped to the chair helpless to resist the shock to come. "Lord Jesus, have mercy," be said. He had not noticed anybody nor had he spoken to his ministers who stood on either side of him as he came down the narrow lane, the valley of the shadow, and the substance of death. He had made full confession to them, declared that liquor and gambling had done him to his early death, and acquitted every accused man of having anything to do with his crime. Finger had expected that his broth ers would be witnesses to his execu tion, but he did not know that the brothers of the splendid boy that he had murdered would be here. When the door was opened yesterday and the witnesses sat themselves In the semi-circle enclosure, Mr. D. A. Ly erly, the father, and Messrs. Charles and Will Lyerly were among the forty who held tickets to the ward. MR. LYERLY RETIRES. The father ot the poor young fel low slain under condition ef uncom mon atrocity, did not sit long. The hum of the mighty dynamo had be gun and the test ot the lights had been made. "I felt so filntlsh," he said when he came out, "I couldn't stand It, It was so hot In there." The father was no weakling. He was thinking ot the dead boy. He Is 68 years old and a soldier of '64 and '65. "I could have stood Press' death so much better If the brute hadn't burned his body so we couldn't bring it home," Mr. Lyerly said, then turn ed and broke down. "His mother will never get over it. "On the inside the attendants were doing their du ties. Archdeacon Delaney and Rev James King Satterwhite, the colored Episcopal ministers, were praying fervently for their recent convert The black boy was In the ha-rnes of death and the dynamo was chanting its mournful monotone. The preachers prayed nil the hard er as the wretch's seconds were Hy ing. The doctors had held up their hands and Warden Sale had his own upon the lever that carried the cur- ron to many before. There was a click, (he body leaped upward and the muelMiery pulled us though chained to a great load. The preachers una ware ef this continued their prayers, finishing but a few seconds before thi current was switched off and the seth- oseope was placed over Finger's heart. Irregular beats indicated life and again the current went on. In six minutes, 49 3-4 seconds he was pro nounced dead. ' Finger's crime was committed February 24 when he assassinated young Preston Lyerly and burned the store in which the young man work ed. The fire aroused the community and it found the young man almost consumed In the blaze. There was no doubt then who It was. The murderer left no tracks that led to his home. But he committed the crime of robbery and took from his victim a watch that proved the star witness against him. He was seven days later caught on a farm eleven miles from the murder. It has been learned since that he had planned the murder of an old couple near South River, a couple whose money is a standing Invitation to crime. The young man murdered was a member of one of the best Rowan county families. His father Is a farmer and his brothers successful business men. Though bearing the same name of the Lyerly family that was almost made extinct by the mur der of four eight years ago, at the the same place, the two were not re lated. Health Literature.

After Congress had passed the Tolls Bill, which repealed the provis ion allowing ships engaged In coast wise trade to pass through the canal free, the members wanted to take a rest spell, without passing the Presl dent's anti-trust bills, but Mr. Wilson said nay. A correspondent writes from Wash Ington: The Congressmen are very anxious to leave Washington and go to their States for rest and to see their con stituents. It is not a question of fence building but of renewing acquaint ances. For two years Congress has been in almost continuous session Both Senators and Representatives are eager to forget bills and resolu tlons for a time and examine the new crops of voters and babies. But, before quitting Washington, the Congressmen must pass the anti trust bills approved by the White House. There Is no way out ot that; President Wilson has given his friends to understand that he desires anti-trust legislation now. There Is reason In the President's demand on Congress. He knows from what he has observed recently that the big interests that oppose trust law amendment at this session will put their gold and influence In the Fall campaign to defeat Democratic can didates for the House to create the Impression that the Democratic Ad ministration is not popular. He does not want to leave any such opening for the enemies of the administration GATHERING WESTERN t.UAIV. Machine Do Not Slop For Niht or Sunday Big Yield This Year. Charlotte Observer. The Observer finds much entertain ment In the reports coming from the wheat fields of the West. During the past week freight trains went into Kansas and other big wheat States each carrying from 100 to 200 men for the harvest fields. These men were apportioned among the farmers In batches as needed and there was a sufficient number to make possible the running of the machines in dou ble shifts, some of the traction en gines pulling two and three machines. In the Western fields the threshers follow the harvesting machines. The wheat is not permitted to remain shocked In the fields and later haul ed to the barns for the threshers, but the process of harvesting and thresh ing is a continuous performance. On the Kansas farms, as indicated by the employment of double shifts, work goes on through the night. Nor does it cease for the coming of Sunday. The harvesters, binders and thresh ers are at work on Sunday, the same as on week days. One feature of the Western wheat crop this season is a notable increase in the average yield to the acre, the figures having gone up irom 16 or 18 bushels to 20 and 30. The big estimates made before the harvest will be snstained. Governor Craig's Address to Health Officers. In his address before the State Health Officers' Association in Ral eigh Monday on the subject of the State's responsibility for human life, Governor Craig pointed out In glow ing terms the rapid strides that had been made in health and sanitation within the last few years. Governor Craig said in part: "When I was city attorney for the city of Ashevllle we came to the conclusion that the wells were insanitary and closed them up. w e did not have as good a pub lic water supply then as we have now but a better one than some cities I know. When the health board pass ed the ordinance prohibiting anyone from drinking from a private well in Ashevllle it of course brought on con siderable trouble with the people, es pecially the poor people and those who were unaccostumed to such reg ulations, but finally it was enforced and Instead of having 300 cases ot typhoid in one summer we now have scarcely none." The Governor took the ground that while good roads are fine, and rail roads, telephones, telegraph and mail service are excellent, yet our homes clean, sanitary homes, and clean healthy happy people in such homes were the greatest asset of the State. The Governor argued for the mod ern home conveniences, especially emphasizing plenty of pure running water in every home, rural or urban. He pointed out that it was when Koine had abundance of pure cbrys lal waters flowing in her noiUeducts when her people bathed daily thnt Rome became the ruler of the world. With reference to health condi tions in Morehead City 111" 'iovi rnor said: "1 know Unit the Slate Hoard of Health in North Caro-ina has no malace or ill will in mind for Hint town or any other town but that it is trying to do justice, and lo do good and to do the whole State good, "nd I was glad to see it, bocanse l he greatest way to right a wrong in the world Is to make that wrong public. If there Is a town in North Carolina that is not living up to its municipal obligations and becomes a menace to all the citizens, and to all it induces into its borders to make money out of them, or for the social enjoyment, then the conditions in that town ought to be exposed to all the world and all the world ought to know them. If the water conditions in Raleigh, In this capable city where everybody must come and drink wa ter (there is nothing else here to drink) but, anyway, we are supposed to drink water, and If it is not what it ought to be In the city, then the newspaper service is doing a service to the people of North Carolina in letting the world know exactly what it is. When the health organization has the courage to do that not only for one city, but for every town in North Carolina, I tell you what things will begin to clean up, and when a town In this State neglects her sanitary conditions and neglects pests that are going everywhere unchallenged, and poisonous Insects carrying all manner of filth to the mouths of children and scattering diseases, It ought to be exposed. This organization could not do a greater service than to expose such facts. We ought to always be care ful about facts, but when conditions are such that it Is unhealthy, we should not wait until another epi demic breaks out to call attention to the very facts that created an epi demic a few years ago. It is not worth while to wait until we hear the lamentations of mothers and see the coffllns pass out before we call at tention to conditions now existing that caused these things. Now, gen tlemen, as I say, I congratulate the State of North Carolina for Its tak Ing this step forward. Old Soldiers' Dinner. Ml the women of Monroe are ask ed to prepare something for the Old Soldiers' dinner. Be sure to send a basket of something suitable for this dinner on the morning of the Fourth to the Carolina Pressing Club build ing unless otherwise advertised. If every woman contributes her part. It will be no burden to any one and will make glad the hearts of the Old Sol diers. COMMITTEE,
