C, TUESDAY, JUNE 5, 1917. $1.30 PER YEAH & IL nimninn jvmrptnirr ntivrn mirk rr hK m iArt A NON-SUITjHlN FIGHT The Ointext Wui Now lie W.ij;t"d lle- tccn Messrs. J. K. Shute uiul J. T. Shute -Defendant Claims Tlial He Intends i:i i J ttii iti oil South Side of Bear Skin Creek, nnd That the Contract Between Him ami the Plainiiit Forbids Only the Erection of (iin on North Sile of Creek. The gin suit, announcement of which was made in last Tuesday's is sue of The Journal, has become more interesting since the withdrawal of Sheriff J. V. Griffith and Mr. J. P. McEwen. The contst now lies be tween Mr. J. It. Shute as the plain tiff and Mr. J. T. Shute, the defend ant. . As the County Commissioners, at heir meeting here yesterday, failed to take action on the suit of the coun ty, Sheriff Griffith has taken a non suit on the provision that an ade quate settlement be made to Mr. J. P. McEwen. This has been done, it is understood, Mr. J. T. Shute agree ing to purchase the property of Mr. McEwen near the gin lot In question. Attorneys for the defendant state that the fight will be over the 9th paragraph of the contract existing be tween the two parties. They claim that the defendant binded himself not to erect a ginning plant on the North side of Bear Skin creek, and that he has not violated this provision; that the gin he proposes to erect is on the South side of Bear Skin. Section 9, which the defendant claims does not forbid the erection of the proposed gin, reads: "It Is further understood and agreed that said J. T. Shute shall not build or cause to be built any ginning plant and shall not engage In ginning cotton, buying cotton seed or seed cotton, cotton seed meal or hulls for the said period of ten years in Union county on the North side of Bear Skin creek, nor shall he cause the same to be doue, or be interested in any way with any other person, firm or corporation in such business." The plaintiff contends that Mr. J. T. Shute. having agreed to remove his ginning plant that was situated on Stewart street, near the Seaboard depot, and not to rebuild on this lot; that lie proposes to erect a gin Just a few hundred yards from this spot, and that he is barred from so doing by the contract, the Supreme court having upheld on numerous occasions that a contract of this nature includes the near vicinity of the spot In ques tion. The proposed gin is to be erected just a few hundred yards from the spot of the old one. In hl3 answer to the complaint, of the plaintiff, the defendant sets forth: "That sometime in the spring of 1916, the plaintiff and the defendant each being engaged in the ginning business in or near the city of Monroe, discussed the question of entering into an agreement as to the territory in which each should operate. Fol lowing this discussion, this defendant stated a proposition to Mr. W. S. Blakeney, a citizen of the city of Monroe and president of the Bank of Union, and requested the said Blake ney to reduce the same to writing and to present the same to the plain till, which request was complied with by said V. S. Blakeney reducing the said proposition to writing and sub mitting the same to the plaintiff for his approval and acceptance; that this defendant is informed and be lieves that the said written proposi tion was submitted to the plaintiff by the said Blakeney and was duly con sidered by the plaintiff and the plain tiff carried the same to his attorneys, who were learned in the law, for their opinion and advice with ref erence to the said proposition and that at the request of the plaintiff, his attorneys, in the absence of this defendant and In the absence of the said Blakeney, revised the said propo sition in souie respects in ordor to cover an agreement which the plain tiff was ready and willing to enter Into and that the agreement so re vised and prepared by plaintiff's at torneys was submitted to this de fendant for his approval and was ap proved by this defendant and signed by both parties, that Is, by the plain tiff and defendant, and became the contract with reference to the matter referred to In the complaint; that this defendant is informed and believes that the copy of a contract attached to the complaint is a true ami cor rect copy of the contract entered Into by the plaintiff and defendant with respect to the ginning operations, as referred to the complaint. "That the real purpose and In tent of the contract, as It appears up on It's face, and by conduction there of,' wai to give to the plaintiff J. R. Shute all territory within the county of Union lying north of Bear Skin creek and to give to tho defendant J. T. hute all territory lying in Union county south of Bear Skin creek, which said creek runs practi cally east and west through or near the city of Monroe; that the ginning plant Intended tj be established by ttie defendant and which is Involved In this controversy, is to be erected on the south side of Bear Skin creek and will be located at least four or five hundred yards south of said creek, as this defendant is informed and believes, and Is within the ter ritory agreed upon between the plr.ln tlff and defendant, as can be reen bv reference to the contract attached to the complaint hereinbefore refer red to. "That this defendant has no In tention, nor has he ever had any In tention whatever cf violating liny contract made and entered Into by him with the plaintiff and he bas been advised by learned counsel mat the erection and operation of a gin on the south side of Bear Skin creek. ii n, I hprt he now intend to crt and operate his ginning outfit, is not in violation of the contract he made end entered into with the plaintiff. as hereinbefore referred to.

GRAY VKTF.UAXS HONOR THE MEMORY OF TIIE1K FALLEN Memorial Exercises Were Conducted in Arlington Cemetery Old Sol diers Put Flowers on Graves. Washington, June 3. Confederate veterans, here for their annual re union, went to Arlington today and paid tribute to the South's dead. President Wilson and Mrs. Wilson at tended the services, but the President did not speak. He received an ova tion from the old soldiers, however, and many shook hands with him. The exercises, held In the shadow of the nionun cnt erected to the Con federate dead by the women of the Confederacy, were opened with the sound of the assembly call by the Marine Band and the singing of the "Star Spangled Banner" by a special choir, the old soldiers and the audi ence helping to swell the refrain. Flowers were strewn on the graves, and special services were held at the tomb of the unknown dead and the grave of Gen. Joe Wheeler. Gen. Bennett H. Young, past commander-in-chief of the veterans, and Representative Clark, of Florida, were the orators. "We are here to honor our Con federate dead, who gave their lives for one of the noblest principles that ever moved human hearts, nerved human arms or stirred human souls the precious doctrine of self-government," General Young said. "Our blessed Republic is now en gaged In the greatest of all wars. The human imagination cannot yet grasp the figures that shall estimate and calculate the losses of this stupendous conflict. We know full well that the American nation wil measure up to the most exacting demands of hu manity arfd liberty and, with full re liance on God and right, we shall with fullest hope and without a sin gle fear abide the hour when the world will witness the complete tri umph of the principles of a people's government and a true democracy. "There can be no reasonable crit icism of these memorial days. They are connected with memories dear to us life Itself. "A thrill of pride moves every Im pulse of our manhood as we pro claim to the world that there are more monuments built to commem orate Confederate history than have ever been erected to any other cause. We are at the foot and In the shadow of the Confederate Arlington monu ment, designed by the genius and carved by the hands of that Illustrious Southern soldier. Sir Moses Ezekial. It Is claimed to be the largest bronze casting in the world. And over the Confederate dust sleeping about Its base we claim the richest of war spoils ashes of the brave resting in peace and glory." First pay of Vet Reunion. Washington, June 4. The United Confederate Veterans for the first time in their history will meet out side (he bounds of territory of the Confederacy, when they assemble here tomorrow for their Twenty-seventh annual reunion.

It., and the response by Colonel Kobt. E. Lee, grandson of the South's Chieftain. Veterans, sons of veterans, spon sors Rnd niald.i of honor, and other visitors from the south find a warm welcome awaiting them In the Capi tal. The Stars and Bars everywhere mingled with the Stars and Stripes, an l none are more cordial in the greeting than the many Union veter an! who don their blue in honor of the occasion. On the arrival of the Confederate Commander - In - Chief, Gen. George P. Harrison, today a de tachment from the local G. A: It. camp in uniform met him at the sta tion.

KUOXSTADT TO UK OlTiaWFI IX LESS IT STOPS KESISTAXCE "Kronstadt Exaggerates Its Strength; We Have SuilWieiit Troop ami Ships to Coerce the Itcbcls Says .Minister of Justice. Petrograd. June . via London. June 3. "Kronstadt will b? declared mor ally boycotted, outlawed and cut off from the rest of the empire uales-j it iiiimedir.'.cly withdraws it d-VUmee to th. pro idonnl government." This stateii t nt was rv.ad to tho Associated Pre.-s today by Minister of Justice IVivveiztff, who recently conducted negotiation with local ex tremists on behalf of the Pet;ocrad government and narrowly escaped be ing lynched by a mob. owing to his insistence upon the release of an In nocent officer who had been impris oned. "Kronstadt's defiance was discuss ed yesterday by the council of min isters," continued Mr. Pereveizeff In his Interview. "All, Including the So cialist ministers, agre that the gov ernment must not tolerate declara tions of independence by separate districts. In this, we are absolutely supported by the Petrograd council of deputies, proof to this effect being shown today when two deputies have gone to the fortress with the aim of bringing the rebels to reason. Kron stradt exaggerates it strength. We have here suffie'ont troops and ships to coerce the rebels. We could also easily blockade the island and starve it out, but I and my colleagues are agreed that such measures are not desirable. Instead, the cabinet prob ably will tomorrow. If in the mean time Kronstadt has not surrendered, issue a declaration that the fortress has turned traitor to the revolution and become an enemy of Russia's new free dominion. We are convinc ed that the universal reprobation of Russia will, without harsher meas ures, bring the extremist to reason. "Kronstadt has always been a diffi cult problem. Many politically uned ucated visionaries and extremist are there and also many of avowedly criminal types. We do not take this revolt too seriously. Formerly when we had trouble in Kronstradt we temporized and compromised because we feared the result of stern meas ures if the Germans attacked. Late ly we have taken measures which make a German attack absolutely Im possible. Therefore, no harm can come to Russia front anything that Kronstadt can do. You may he as sured that Kronstadt's boasted inde pendence is doomed to a speedy end." Bankruptcy if We Lose, Says Balfour Ottawa, May 30. Arthur James Balfour, British Minister of Foreign affairs and read of the mission sent to America, in an address late today before the two houses of the Cana dian Parliament, declared that the British Empire had 'staked its last dollar on democracy." He added that If democracy failed England and her possessions would be "bankrupt in deed." Mr. Balfour declared, how ever, that he knew democracy would not fail. "I know the democracies of the old world and the new will come out of this struggle, not merely triumphant in the military sense, but strengthen ed In their own inner life. More firmly convinced that the path of freedom Is the only path to national greatness," asserted Mr. Balfour. Premier Borden, in Introducing Mr. Balfour, paid tribute to the Unit ed States. Speaker Rhodes asked Mr. Balfour to take to England with him, on his return, the message that "Canada Is In the war to the end." Sir Wilfrid Laurler, the opposition leader, de clared that "Canada today stands prouder for her British allegiance than she was three years ago." Billion Dollar Bond Issue is Proiiosed Washington, June 3. Authoriza tion for a billion dollar bond issue probably will be written Into the house war tax bill by the senate ti nance committee when it completes re-drafting the measure as passed by the house. It was authoritatively stated tonight that this course might be decided upon because the $1,500, 000,000 which the bill as re-drafted Is designed to bring In through tax ation will fail by nearly a billion to provide the money needed In addition to bond issues already authorized to finance the first year of war. The proposed bonds, or a substan tial portion of them, It is understood tho committee would make short term serials, maturing during the next few years. This Is In line with tho policy of having half of the war's expense borne by tho present genera tion. The re-drafted tax bill, In almost complete form, will be taken up by the committee again tomorrow. Sinks 147 Sailing Shins. Petrograd. via London, June 2. A Russian squadron in a cruise along the Anatolian coast on May 29 bom barded four ports and destroyed 147 sailing ships loaded with supplies, says the official statement Issued by the war department today.

U looks good to si e our boys and girls home again. Mr. Ellis Hamilton of Jonesboro visited in Wingnte last week. He once lived here, but some years ago he went to Jonesboro. Mr. Walter Perry was heme on a short visit the cher day. The Farmers' Union here seems to be getting on nicely now. It is meeting regularly, and much Interest seems to be manifested. Mr. Bayard May was home from Badin this week. He has a fine posi tion there. His wife has been home for three weeks. Her health has been very bad, but we are glad to note that she is much improved. Mr. Herbert Sullivan was home from Badin last week. Miss Mary Jones went to Greens boro yesterday to attend the summer school at the Greensboro State Nor mal. Prof. Clyde Jones goes to Cullowee the last of this week to teach In the summer school. He will have charge of the department of mathematics. Mr. John McManus of Taxahaw passed through Wlngate last Sunday. Messrs. W. M. Perry, Voger Ter ry and Frank Griffin are attending the old soldier's reunion at Washing ton this week. Rev. E. C. Snyder and Uncle Joe Bivens went to Acquadale yesterday. Uncle Joe is visiting his son, Mr. W. H. Bivens, and Mr. Snyder went to carry his son, Bruce, to Badin where he is at work. Mr. Iioyce Griffin, son of Mr. W. P. Griffin is home for a short while. We understand that he is going to Char lotte to enlist in the United States navy. Bennett and Collins have bought the Edgar Williams mill and will continue the business under the name of Bennett and Collins. They have a fine outfit and will do a splen did business If they try. Messrs. R. E. Belk and James Smith have put up a new mill at Win gate. They have enough experience to make it go. Dr. Lovill's brother, Mr. J. W. Lovlll and their mother from Mt. Airy, visited at Wlngate Sunday. Mr. Lovlll did not stay but one day. Mrs. Lovlll is here for a few days. An Interesting children's day ex errise was given at the Baptist church last Sunday. Our Sunday school here Is very fine now. The Sunday school at Marshville Baptist church is the finest we have ever known. Our superintendent, Mr. B. H. Griffin, Is trying himself this summer. We understand that a severe hail storm passed through the Union sec tion last Sunday evening, doing much damage to crops and buildings. This seems to be an unfortunate year.

She has been in a pre carious condition, but a few days ago she took a turn for tho better. She will seem to be herself once more. The boys around Wlngate are very quiet about the registration law. We have not heard very much kicking done about it. Some one has circu lated some false reports about Wil son's message, but it did not mean anything. People away from town who do not get dally papers very of ten get the worse misunderstanding about public things. So many cannot tell a thing as they hear it across a big road. Some do not want to tell the truth anyway. They prefer the false all the time. They cannot go io preaching and tell what the preacher says without exaggerating it. or misconstruing it in some way. Real truthful people are very scarce anyway. The honest man wants to know the truth and nothing but the truth. There is more wheat around Win gate than for many years. There Is not a good stand, but It seems to be well filled. If the crop is not very large, It will do much toward feeding the hungry. Robert Lovlll, Jr., had the mis fortune of getting the end of his ring finger on bis right hand cut off while he was visiting with his mother in Siler City. He was playing with a lawn mower and got hi flie-r in the wrong place. Mrs. Lovill returned home with him last night. Rev. C. J. Black and son. Chns. S. Black, load a ,uick trip to Badin to- lay.

It was quite a surprise to many in our town when it was announced yesterday that two of our popular young felks. Miss.Hat- tie M. Russell and Mr. Lonuie .V. Perry, had been married since Thurs day, April 19. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Warren at the residence of Mr. Robt. L. Smith in Monroe. Miss Russell is one of our most popular girls and has been one of the United Cash Store's ef ficient force for a couple of years. Mr. Perry is a worthy young farm er and deserving of our heartiest congratulations. Mr. Shelton Harrell left Sunday for Hamlet, from there he goes to Chapel Hill to witness the com mencement exercises, his brother, Mr. Beemer Harriil. being a member of the graduating class. Owing to the recent bereavements in both families the invitations to the wedding for 13th of June of Miss Frances Elizabeth Yaughan and Mr. Albert Ray Newsome have been re called. The wedding ceremony was performed Monday, June 4 at 9 p. m. by Rev. Seymour Taylor In the presence of the immediate fami lies. Miss Yaughan's petite lovliness was only more vivid in her bridal gown of white crepe meteor with veil and orange blossoms. Mr. New- some is one of our most deserving young men and wins honor wherever he goes.

Mrs. J. C. Bailey left Sunday to visit her daughter, Mrs. George Fincher, near Charlotte. Messrs. Grier and Earl Marsh have returned from Chapel Hill. Our boys are still in line as Earl distinguished himself by winning the presidency of tho Phi Beta Kappa fraternity. This honor was his fellow townsman, Mr. Ray Newsomii's three years ago. We congratulate him. Messrs. Clay Newsome and Thos. L. McBride leave Tuesday for Raleigh on a business trip. Owing to Rev. C. J. Black's illness there was no services at the Baptist church last night. The ringing of church bell on Sunday evening and gathering of the people Is a blessing and a privilege I fear we do not ap preciate as we should until, for some cause we do not hive the usual op portunity of "staying away." Mr. Oscar Hamilton and family of Raleigh are visiting at Mr. L. E. Hug gins. Mr. S. D. Moore, our veteran sol dier, left this morning for the Con federate re-union at Washington. Messrs. Vernon Ashcraft and M. A. Sinclair accompanied Mr. Moore to r.ee the sights. Miss Julia and Master John Lewis Wilkes of Hamlet are visiting their uncle. Mr. Ernest Barrett. Mrs. Baxter H. Griffin Is in Raleigh this week attending a meeting of the canning club demonstrators, prepara tory for coming campaign. Mrs. Anna Griffin of Florence, S. C. is visiting nt the home of Dr. Perkins this week. Born, to Mr. and Mrs. William Griffin (nee Miss Hargett) today, a daughter. Prof. Roy Marsh Is nt home after a successful year as principal of the graded schools nt Forest City. He was unanimously re-elected to the same position for next year. Mr. M. C. Holmes has the contract, and has the foundation laid, for the erection of a handsome dwelling for Mr. Frank Harrell, In the southern part of town. Mr. Holmes also has the contract and has begun work re placing the buildings owned by Har rell Bros., and Mrs. J. C. Little, re cently burned. The Aldermen, so it is said, stag ed a dog fifeht at their meeting last night. Not the. regular kind of dog fight that the darkey likes to see, but a fight over taxing 'em. Aldermen Collins and Caldwell favored taxing them to the limit, but Alderman Funderburk and McRae were teeth and toe-nail "agin it," while Alder man Henderson didn't give a whoop which way it went. Messis Collins and Caldwell favored a tax of $10 on female dogs and $5 on male ones. They would also have employed a dog catcher, who would furnish the tag.', and see that every dog. high or low, bird or hound, was taxed or pi't out of business. For this service the dog catcher would receive half the taxes collected, the other half going Into the city's coffers. Order was re stored without any ? riou3 trouble by the Mayor. Registration day passed quietly in Monrre, nnd there was no disor der, or any signs of whiskey drink ing. It seems that everybody is registering, and up until about two o'clock rear six hundred had regis tered at the South and North Monroe boxes. Tho colored peopl? are re sponding better than was expected to the mandate of the government. The Aldermen are going to buy a sprinkler and broom attachment with which to keep the a?phalt streets clean. This is an excellent move, as the benefits to be derived from the new streets would be loBt if they are not kept clean.
