THE UNION COUNTY PAPER EVERYBODY READS IT." "THE UNION COUNTY PAPER EVERYBODY NEEDS IT.' r The Monroe Journal PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS., r.. VOL.23. No. 66. MONROE, N. O, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBFR 23, 1917. $1.50 PER YEARVASH CIIAM1IF.H OF COMMKhCK HAS COMPLLTKll ITS HIWT YKAK In Kelew of Work Secretary Scott States Hotel, Street Work, and Hospital Cauie as Result of His Or ganit.it ion. The Chamber of Commerce has rounded out its first year of exist ence. As the officers are elected an nually, a meeting will be held Friday night at 8 o'clock iu the Chamber headquarters for the purpose of elect ing a new crew. The present officers, who have lead the movement for bet ter streets, a new hotel, and the hos pital, are: T. P. Dillon, President; E. C. Carpenter, Vice-President; M. K. Lee. Treasurer; W. B. Love. A. M. Si'crest. W. S. Blakeney, and It. A. Morrow, Directors. Iu a lengthy review of the work accomplished by the Chamber of Commerce during the year, Secretary Scott states that the first thing se cured for Monroe was a $100,000 hotel. Next came better streets, fol lowed by the hospital. Secretary Scott will mail to each member a printed list of those who have been suggested for directors for the coming year with the request that they vote for six whom they believe the best qualified for the office. There will also be a blank space at the bot tom of the ballot, and a member is at liberty to add the names of any candidate for director, but in no in stance should there be more than six names listed on the ballot. A ballot box will be placed in tho office of Mr. Scott and ballots can bo depos ited there on Thursday between the hours of 9 a. m. and 6 p. ui. REVIEW OF THE WORK Secretary Scott's history of the Chamber of Commerce, and Its ac complishments, follows: "In June, 1916. several of the moht progressive citizens of Monroe, men who had the Interest and welfare of the city at heart, and who wanted to gee the city grow and prosper, got to gether and organized the present Chamber of Commerce. After these gentlemen secured as much money as possible to maintain the Chamber they secured the services or Mr. Hor ace Smith of Richmond, Va., a pro fessional organizer to assist them in securing additional pledges for the support of the Chamber, and through the efforts of the committee and iur. Smith, enough money was pledged to start the Chamber, although there was not enough funds raised to put the Chamber on a high working plane like those In other of our Bister cities in the State, for to run a Chamber of Commerce In a progressive city like Monroe it should have consider able more income than we have at the present time. While it Is true prac tically every citizen has given tne Chamber their moral support, very few have given it the financial support that it deserves, and but for the gen erosity of some of the larger mer charts tho Chamber could not have lived and accomplished what it has. Again a number of the subscribers have failed to jay tho dues pledged This to be regretted a9 the year's work was mapped out on the prom ised Income and everyone who has not lived up to their promise has held the Chamber back Just that far. "The Chamber's actual existan e began September 1st, 1916, with a membership of 176, al which time the present secretary opened offices in the rooms of the Jackson Club, where offices were maintained until January 1st. when they were moved to their present location on the ground floor back of the Farmers & Merchants Bank. The officers and directors were: T. P. Dillon, presi dent: E. C. Carpenter vice-president; M. K. Lee, treasurer; H. Y. Scott, secretary, and Messrs. W. B. Love, W. S. Blakeney, J. C. Sikes and U. A. Morrow, directors. DUTIES OF THE SECRETARY "The duties of a secretary of a Chamber of Commerce are about as varied as in any line of endeaver. He is called upontodoalittleof every thing; quite a good deal- that the members and public In general never hear of, but his principal duties are to boost the city and use every metn od at his command to make the city more progressive, a better place to live iu, and try to get new citizens; and that the Chamber has been a suc cess along this line Is borne out by the fact that the present is the only time In the history of Monroe that there was not a vacant house. This Is conclusive proof that Monroe Is trowing. The Chamber regrets ex ceedingly that there are practically no new houses being erected as sev eral families desire to locate In Mon roe, and would do so at once if nice comfortable houses could be secured for them. It Is only a question of time before some new homes will have to be built, and the Chamber ernestly requests that those who have In mind the erection of houses to start at once. Everyone realizes that material and labor are high, but there Is no Indication that there will be relief along that line for some time to come. Monroe is also large enoueh to make an apartment house a paying proposition, and the Cham ber will Jmmeaiateiy enaeavor io have one erected. THE NEW HOTEL "The Chamber asks the question, Who in Monroe this time last year could have been mado to believe that In a year a modern $100,000 hotel would be In actual course or con struction? This was one of the first things that the Chamber started out to Bcure and after several public meetings of the members of the Chamber of Commerce and the direc tor! nf the Houston-Realty uompany the officers of that company advised that they ha4 decided to erect a hotel that would be a monument to the city and fill a long felt want. STREET IMPROVEMENT ' The next thing the Chamber started out after was better streets. and all one has to do now Is to lake a walk over the principle business nd residential parts of the city and he will find as fine sheet asphalt streets as can be built. There was a great deal of opposition to the street work at first, but th2 property own ers now see the advantages of It. and if the city can secure additional funds the rihmI work will be kept up. There will ul;0 bo installed on the principal business streets a white way which will naturally add considera ble to the beauty of the city, and im press the stranger who cornea to our city. WATER SUPPLY "One of the principal drawbacks in Monroe is the inadequate water supply. The quality of the water Is the very btvst but the quantity Is sadly larking. The Chamber has gone into the matter thoroughly, but is of the opinion that same cannot be remedied until after the war is over. Steps then will be taken to give the city the necessary water supply. The scarcity of water Is beyond doubt the principal reason that Monroe is una ble to secure additional manufactur ing plants. The seccrtary has been asked by several firms that had In mind locating in the south If we had an abundance of water, and when In formed to the contrary they looked for a location elsewhere. LADIES' REST ROOM The Chamber has opened in the court house a ladies' rest room for the use and benefit of the ladies '-n the county who come to the city to shop. This room is neatly and con veniently furnished, and Is in charge of a compteent maid whose sole duty is to assist the ladies In every way. That the ladies from the county ap preciate this is shown by the fact that since this room opened In January approximately 1.000 of them have have taken advantage of it, and its popularity is growing daily. FOOD CROPS CAMPAIGN "One of the most Important funct ions performed by the Chamber this year was the campaign Inaunu'uted oy them to impress upon the farm ers of Union ccunty the absolute necessity of raising more feed crops on account of the scarcity dun to war conditions. The Chamber had point ed and posted over the county large po.'.'H impressing upon the farmers the impel lance of raising more coi n, wheat, Irish potatoes and other food crops, and that this campaign was a success is borne out by the U. S. Department of Agsiculture as they have advised the secretary that Union county will produce approximately 25 per cent more food crop this year than last. The Secretary has also been advised by the various mer chants who sell seed and farming im plements that this year was their banner year In the amount of goods eold. GIRLS CANNING CLUB "The secretary appealed to the board of county commissioners for an appropriation for $300 to meet an equal amount that the state would give to support the Girls Canning Club, but the commissioners could only bee their way clear to appropri ate $100, and the secretary was forc ed to raise $100 by. private subscrip tions, and the Chamber gave the oth er $100 so that a fund of $600 would be available. The Canning Club Is in charge of a very competent demon strator, and has done good work, but $600 Is not sufficient to keep this important work up next year and every effort will be made to Impress upon the commissioners the impor tance of appropriating $500 so that there will be $1,000 on hand to car ry on this work. Other counties In the state give more than that amount and Union county must not fall back for this work is of the uttermost im portance to the county. GOOD ROADS "The Chamber has advocated good roads for Union county from the very start of its existance, and its work is beginning to bear fruit. The secre tary and other members of the Cham ber have been before the county and road commissioners on numerous occasions and secured their help and support on matters that were of great help to the county and city. By far the most Important step ever taken by the road commissioners was at the suggestion of the Chamber of Com merce. The secretary, and several active members of the Chamber, pre vailed upon the board to apply to the Federal Government through the State Highway Commission for aid to the extent of $5,000. To this Mon roe township will add an equal amount and n modern highway will be built in the near future from Wingate to the Vance township line. It Is indeed a pleasure to state that Monroe township has a board 'of road commissioners that are far above the average and who can be depended on to give the township as good roads as Is possible. In fact they have order ed a steam scrape r.nd drag of the latest model to help them In their work. "The secretary has, after much hard work secured the aid of the road commissioners of Vance town ship and they have also applied for $1,000 Federal Aid money to be used In making a permanent sand gravel road In tht township on the Wilmington-Charlotte Highway. As that money will not be available for scv erl months the road commissioners of Vance township agreed to work at once twenty-four men on that road for six days, provided the people of Monroe would raise $150 and send the chain fang to assist them for two days. There was no trouble in se curing the money from the people of Monroe, and the road has been tempo rarily repaired until the Federal Aid money is secured. "The government will only assist the first year on establishing high ways, but Monroe township has the privilege of securing Federal aid for the next five years and next year a permanent road to Waxhaw will be built, and each succeeding year oth er roads, especially ones leading into South Carolina. The Chamber of Commerce sees the advantages of good roads ard will use every effort to koep the good work up. S. A. L. UNDERPASSES "The Chamber has also appeared before the county commissioners and secured their promise to move. If necessary, the bridge over Bear Skin Cre?k between the two Seaboard un derpasses on their line further down on the way touth. and the city coun cil has agreed to ascertain what the cost to the city will be to straighten out the road that goes under the rail road tracks so that the present dan gerous driveway will be eliminated. Arter this work Is completed there will be a Ftraight driveway from the first underpass to the top of Benton Hill and not n dangerous curve as is now the case. THE HOSPITAL "The Ch'.mber now states with a great deal of pleasure that the hos pital is now nn assurred fact, and that actual construction will begin In the very near future. The Chamber, in connection with the directors of the hospital board, set aside June 18, 1917 as Hospital Day and started out to raise $10,000. The various committees met in the Methodist church at 9 o'clock and started out and bv sundown the goal was reach ed. This was by far the biggest campaign ever pulled off in Monroe and shows what a determineu ouncn of workers can do If each and every one pulls together. WAR CONDITIONS A DRAWBACK "One of the greatest drawbacks Hint the Chamber has to contend wltn at the present time Is the fact that the country Is at war. we nave aa veriised and used every effort to secure additional manufacturing plants, but it seems as ir the people with caDital who had in mind enter ing into manufacturing business were scared on on account oi nx war. and the present high cost of ma terials: but we are not In the least hit dismayed and intend to keep on working until Monroe has It Bhare of manufacturing plants, ana me aay is coming when Monroe will be a large manufacturing center. All It takes Is time and pusn. FUND FOR ADVERTISING "The Chamber regrets the fact that their Income Is not large enough to advertise the city and Union coun ty as It should be. Money spent for advertising purpose Is money wen spent, and In our opinion the city council would be maKing a move in the right direction if they would make an anual appropriation to the Chamber. This is done In practical ly every city and has been found to ! a Burce t,. This Chamber should spend at least $500 per annum In good advertising, ana it is oniy a Question of time before It will have to do so if It expects to keep pace with the other cities and counties in this state. PASSENGER DEPOT "The Chamber realizing that the present passenger depot Is a disgrace to a growing city like Monroe, Is working hard to secure the desired Improvements. This naturally is slow work for the railroads are not prone to spend money. The Cham ber has succeeded In getting the Sea board Air Line to extend the asphalt work on Main Street to their tracks, and have their promise to make addi tional improvements in the very near future. The railroad agrees with us that the improvements are needed but ask for a little more time on ac count of war conditions and the Chamber feels sure that it Is only a question of time before Monroe will have modern facilities at the depot, FARMERS HEADQUARTERS "The offices of tho Chamber Is now the recognized headquarters of the farmers of tho county. The coun ty demonstrator has his office there and the farmers are continually coming In for information, bulletins and various other matters, and we try In every way to show them that we are their friends and that they are welcome. In fact, we try to live ud to the old saying "That the fu ture of the city lies In the county." We need the co-operation of our country friends and leave no stone unturned to help them out. The secretary has been appointed Coun ty Secretary by th United States De partment of Agriculture without re- numeratlon to assist the government In securing reliable data In regards to the food crops and In that posi tion sends out hundreds of blank forms and other literature. Monroe. as everyone knows. Is a growing city and there are a great many needed Improvements that should be made, but we ask the knockers to stop knocking for a while and help the Chamber work out in a business like manner the things that Monroe needs. "Don't knock your city, Its a good town, and Its your home." NO APOLOGIES TO MAKE "Considering all things the Cham ber has no apologies to make for the work It has accomplished In the first year of Its existence. It Is an undls putable fact that this has been the banner year 4n the history of the city, an .it Is now one of the best advertised cities in North Carolina, and we doubt aeriouily if any pi see In the South haa made aa many for- (iUKKNSIlOKO PKKACHFK (X)XFKSSKS TO DI AL I.I FK Rev. J. H. Bennett, Well Known 5Ictliodlst Clergyman I Suscnd el Follow ing Astounding lU'vela tioiw Made of Immoral I'ractires. Rev. J. H. Bennett, for two yerrs pastor of the Greensboro C.ntenary Methodist Episcopal church, was sus pended from his pastorate Sunday pending Investigation of charges of immorality against liini, says yester day's Greemboro New s. H ." has con fessed his guilt of the charges, whih were whispered for some time, his stewards hearing in Its entirety the tragic and sordid story of his dual life. The presiding elder. Rev. J. H. Barnhardt. yesterday morning made the formal announcement to the peo ple of the suspension of the pastor. The deposed leader departed Satur day night for Salisbury, leaving the city because of the breaking of the storm which was forecast. One of the most dramatic moments In the life of the church occurred when Dr. Barnhardt broached the subject which lay on the conscious ness or- all. There was absolute si lence in the crowded church. Dr. Barnhardl's reference to the misde meanors of the pastor was not leng thy. He did not go into details, but the story had spread and everybody knew. The presiding elder said Mr. Bennett had been suspended pend ing an Investigation of the charges of immorality. He continued with a view to clearing up and doubt, to say that hj understood Mr. Bennett had confessed to his officers and that there was no reasonable doubt of his guilt. It was recognized that the in vestigation Dr. Barnhardt referred to could be only a matter of form. "I would rather have burled him." said Dr. Barnhardt, Lis tense voice the only sound in the large audito rium. The presiding elder extended his sympathy to the betrayed congrega tion and admonished the people how to act In the calamity. The charges were like a bolt from a clear sky to the people of his church and of the city generally, where he had been highly esteemed. It is alleged that Mr. Bennett was discovered by policemen In a house of ill-repute In the southern part of town, and under circumstances which left him no recourse but admission of the truth of the situation. This occurred about a fortnight ago, Du n police report was made of the in cident, and the minister was noi summoned to the city court for trial under the GuiUord county morals act, which la said to be broad enough to justify charges against hiin. He was instructed by the men who discover ed him to appear the following day to take the matter up with the chief of police, and he obeyed these in structions. Although a certain amount of se crecy was maintained by persons In position to know of the case, the ru mors were c rculatea ana reacnea me ears of one of the officers of the church. The stewards' action fol lowed, although the control of the pastor of the church lies in the hands of the presiding elder, his superior officer. It was agreed that Mr. Ben nett must discontinue his duties. Saturday night Mr. Bennett was asked by a reporter if he had admit ted his guilt of the charges of his stewards. He evaded the question for a few moments, and was asked flatly If he was guilty as charged, and after a pause he declared tr- stories circulated were false. "I have to go by places where Immoral people live in my ministry," he said, and the circumstances might nave been suspicious." He was asked if It was true that officers caught him In the home of a negro woman named Dick, and he said he had no recol lection of such an incident; and, de claring he would not be led into say ing something he ought not say, he ended the Interview. He admit all this to his officers. ward strides during the past year as Monroe. The Chamber does not for one minute take the credit for all the good work done during the past year, but It does claim that the 'Chamber or Commerce spirit has gone a long way to help things along, and if its income was not so limited it could do a good deal more. "The Chamber wishes to express its full appreciation for the whole hearted way In which the local pa pers have co-operated with us. The editors are always willing to go the limit in helping the undertakings of the Chamber that are for the interest of the town and county. "In conclusion, the Chamber wishes to thank each and every mem ber for the help given, financially as well as morally. But to b3 frank, the Chamber Is sadly In need of money to carry on Its work. If you are already a member try and In crease your dues, and also ask your friends to become a member. The Chamber of Commerce is making Monroe a better and cleaner place to live In. It Is making It a more at tractive and profitable place to do business In. its membership bring! you In touch with hundreds of pro gressive and broad minded men, and you owe it to Monroe as a public duty to contribute to 1U development. A membership in the Chamber of Commerce means a share In the larg est and most active agency for the advancement of the city's civic and material growth and spirit. If you are not a member notify the secre tary or any member that you want to Join today. You'll then have a reason to be proud of yourself. The Monroe Chamber of Commerce, T. P. Dillon. Prwldent; H.

Who Failed to I'avs Physical F.xamination at Camp JackMin, Talks luteiestingly of the Union County Hoys. Mr. D. Carl Griffin, son of Esq. E. J. Griffin of Unionville, who was among the 116 men from this county who left last Wednesday for Camp Jackson, arrived home last night from Columbia arter having been honorably discharged from the mili tary service owing to slight physical disability. He had claimed no ex emption, and was ready to go to France at the War Department's command. The following men, according to Mr. Griffin, have been exempted by the District board: Messrs. Roy Blair Walter Lindsey, Hayne Johnson, Eustace Collins. Grady Nash, Frank Fairloy, Frank Nassiff. all of Monroe, and John Fred Stegall, who lives on route 3. Mr. Blair, said Mr. Griffin, has been allowed exeniptiou only until December 1. He is an engineer on the Seaboard, and the temporary ex emption Is probably allowed until the case of all engineers have been disposed of. Mr. Lindsey. who is al so an engineer, has been exempted npmianont?v hp hnvln. f-iilml t. measure up to the physical require-1 menis. Mr. Nash has been allowed a permanent exemption for physical and dependency reasons, while Mr. Fairley has been exempted to the first of the year. Mr. Johnson has been allowed permanent exemption, and so has Mr. Nassiff. Mr. Stegall has been exempted until the first of the year in order that he may gather his crop. The above statements are not of ficial. Mr. Griffin gave them to The Journal from memory, and it is pos sible, as he admitted, that he might be in error about some of the men. There may possibly be others who have received exemption, but no one here has received an authentic list. The Union county men arrived at Camp Jackson at 9:30 Wednesday night. The trip to Columbia was without incident. The men passed away the time between here and the South Carolina rapitol by singing "Home Sweet Home," and "Nearer My God to Thee," at the stations, bringing tears to the eyes of the many ladies who met the train. These songs, however, did not express the real feelings of the men. They were in good spirits all along the route, and they sang the two well known songs simply for the affect they had on the people who gathered around the train at each stop. On their arrival at Columbia, said Mr. Griffin, they were met by the fif teen Union county men who left for Camp Jackson Sept. 5. Mr. Hamp Price, who was among the first to leave, is in the military police ser vice. Mr. Joel Collins, who was also in the first contingent, Btarted a bar ber shop Monday, and Is doing well. Several of the others In the first bunch have been made sergeants and corporals, Mr. Griffin Btated. The 116 men were assigned to the 317th'Field Artillery. 156th Brigade. There were about 20 men from Union county in each barrack, six in all. They were aroused at 5:45 Thursday morning, marched up for reville at 6 o'clock, and at 6:15 laken to breakfast. Arter completing their first meal, the men were set washing dishes, and later sent to the barracks to clean up. Later In the day they were given the physical examination, which was followed by vaccination for both typhoid and smallpox. The men, said Mr. Griffin, were sick fol lowing the double dose of vaccina tion and none were able to lie on their right side that night. Uniforms have not yet been hand ed out to the Union county men. Their measurements were taken yes terday, but it will probably be a week or more before the boys are at tired in khaki uniforms. It may be a week or more before the men who have been exempted ar rive home. There is so much red tape connected with the releaseof themen which will cause delay, said Mr. Grif fln. Those who have been exempted for physical reasons, however, are at liberty to come home immediately. The boys are not having a picnic by any means, the Union county man said, but they are In good spirits. Sunday was a blue day for most of them, as there was nothing to occupy their time. They Just lay around camp all day long. F.VFIIV "PACIFIST" SPF.KCH IX FFFF.CT TRAITOROUS Decliiratlon of Secretary McAiloo In Address to West Virginia Hunkers' Association. White Sulphur Springs. W.

The negro was arrested late this afternoon after being track ed through the swamps near Linden by the aid of bloodhounds, and brought here. A mob intent upon lynching was is process of formation when Sheriff Turlington and Chief of Police Bass decided to carry him away. A part of the mob had already formed at the doors of the town prison when a strong force of officers arrived with a high powered car. Forming a line they drew revolvers and unlocked the doors, holding the mob at bay. In a few seconds they had the prisoner aboard and underway. Members of the mob yelled "Shoot him boys," and a fusillade of bullets followed the speeding car, but no one was hit. Several auto loads of infuriated men followed the car with the pris oner but it is not thought here that any overtook it. It is certain that the negro would have been lynched had darkness found him in the Dunn prison. Two brothers of Cagle were released when proof of their inno cence was assured.
