Wliirh Will Finance Work. Operations at the Howie gold mine, made famous by recent lit ieatiuu in Wheeling. V. Va.. and Baltimore, Md., may be resinned by Sept. 1, Mr. J. C. Sikes. receiver for the property, announced yesterday. Mr. Sikes has applied to the court for authority to issue receiver's cer tificates to the amount of $75,000 and expects bis request to be granted in tlK .tear future. These certificates ill be placed on sale in Baltimore, New Yoik and other bond centres. Jheir sale will enable the resumption operations at the mine. All la 4or claims have already been paid oft. Mr. Sikes was appointed receiver foi this property a number of months ago when the owner, Mr. Smith H. Bracey was arrested and arraigned in Wheeling and later in Baltimore, on a charge of fraud. The charges have been dismissed and he is free. Mr. Bracey is a mine promoter of many years experience and in compa ny with inspector iteiitly went ter the property li iiues south of here and is highly optimistic of its future. He is confident that much ore yet remains and that the property can le worked with profit. Mr. Bracey purchased the mine from the Bates estate in 1912. After making extensive ininroveinents, In cluding the installation of new ma chinery the operation of the mine was resumed. The cost of the im provements, it is said, totaled more that s.'.iinon. Work at the mine con tinued for several years and ore min ed assayed a good amount per ton. Charges against Mr. Bracey resulted In tiie appointment of a receiver but Ihese charges having been cleared away operations at the mine bid fair to he resumed. Some Neighborhood Comment A few years ago the Pages built a magnificent memorial church at Ab erdeen. The best of material was used in its construction; the roof being covered with copper shingles, and It has since been thp pride of the com munity. But now it Is almost roof less, and the wealthy Pnges will have to pass out a little more coin for a new one. It iwon't be a copper roof, either, though1 there is no doubt that it is the best roofing material made. Copper Is In- too much demand for mnonshinlng purposes these days to he e posed even on the roof of a church, for that's the demand which the first roof went to fill. Cant. W. I,. Howie Is our authority. He was in Aberdeen th day after the moonshin ers stole half of the roof. That's even worse than the sin of that old darkey who used to store liquor, which he kept for sale. In the basement of the Monroe First Baptist church. Messrs. Lee and Crawford Griffin, when tiiey conducted a sales stable in Wadesboro years ago, had to contend with a certain inveterate loafer. This man, running true to his tribe, had another besetting sin. He imbibed too freely and too often of the flow ing bowl. This sin also made him an added burden on the Griffin brothers because he always chose their stables in which to sleep off the effects of the spree. Their patience exhausted, the Mes srs. Griffin began to tax their ingenu ity to rid themselves of the loafer, who often disturbed them In their trading by his lusty snoring. Hints or reprimands intended to impress the man with the undesirabllity of his presence had not the least effect. To all intents he was a parasite to be contended with all his dayi. It happened that a furniture store in Wadesboro rented some vacant space In the Griffin brothers' stable to store Its surplus goods. One day when the store unloaded some coffins in this space the Messrs. Griffin conceiv ed of a plan that eventually rid the place of their parasite. The next time the old man staggered to the barn to sleep off his booze they Im mediately got Into action. Selecting a nice, glass - plated coffin from the furniture stock, they placed the now unconscious man in it. They folded his hands, first placing in them a bo quet of flowers; put a coin over each eye. and scattering flowers all about his body, closed the coffin lid. Two hours later, front a point of antage. they watched the terrible .wakening. The first sign or return ing consciousness was when th man began to flutter his right eye-lid. The coin swung in the balance, hesitated a little, and then fell. A dazed look spread over the man's face. As yet he could not grasp the meaning of his surroundings. The left eye began to move a little, and the other coin went the way of the first. The scent from the flowers woved the old fellow to glance In the direction of his hands which still held the boquet. His pre dicament began to dawn upon him. Glanzing upward he managed, through the rays of light that fell downward, to learn without a doubt that he was housed In a coffin. An agonized scream rent the air. and a sound of falling glas was heard as the man dived upward through the glass front of the coffin. Neither did he hesitate on reaching the floor; but went out the door, and he was never again seen back at the stables. The annual reunion of the Crow ell family will be held at Electric Tark, Char'otte, on Thursday, July 31st. BOYS IXDFK FOIHTKF.X CAVT WORK WITHOUT PFKMISSIOX. That I. in Certain Ocru tuition F. H. Wolfe, t'ounty Welfare Offi cer, Will time lo I'asH on Jul. Mr. F. H. Wolfe, county welfare officer, in a statement to The Journal, stated that he had already begun en-' forcing section 5 of the new child la bor law, which provides: "No child under the age of four teen years shall be employed, or per mitted to work, in or about or in con nection with any mill, factory, can nery, workshop, manufacturing es tablishment, laundry, bakery, mer cantile establishment, office, hotel, restaurant, barber shop, boot black stand, public stable, garage, place of amusement, brick yard, lumber yard, or any messenger or delivery service, except in cases and under regulations prescribed by the commission herein after created." "Farming, if you will notice," said Mr. Wolfe, "does not come under the above classification. Farmers, there fore, no not have to worry about se curing permission for their boys un der fourteen to work. All others, however, who do come under the clas sification must either quit working at once or appeal to me for exemption. If possible, and consistent with the child's welfare, this exemption will be given." A number of people have already applied for exemption for their boys. One of these was an old negro at W'axhaw who wanted his boy to walk in a barber shop until school opened. Permission was given by Mr. Wolfe. The Best Joke. (From the Cincinatti Enquirer.) John IVasy. (he Cincinatii attor ney, claims that the oldest joke is the one about the school janitor who quit his Job. He was asked why he quit, and he replied: "Well. I'll an honest man and don't like to be stirred. On Monday I saw on a blackboard in one of the schoolrooms this notice: 'Find the least common multiple.' So I hunted all over for it and I couldn't find it. Then on Tuesday on the same board I found this notice: 'Find the greatest common divisor.' So I says to myself that one of them is lost and they'll be licensing tne of taking them So I quit." Joe J. t'nger, general manager of the Triangle Film Company, of New York, claims that the old joke is the one about the Irishman who got a job as a attendant at a booze cure establishment. The house physician brought the Irishman into a room in which a patient suffering from deliri um tremens was strapped to a' bed. "Now," said the Physician. "If this man sees snakes again give him a dose of tlis medicine and it will quiet him. I'll he in and see him in the morning." The Physician came around in the morning and the pati ent was raving. "How long has he been this way?" asked the Physician. "All night, sor." replied the Irishman. "But didn't I tell you to give him (his medicine If he saw snakes again?" demanded the Physician. "But he did n't see any snaUes," replied the Irish man. "All he said he saw was purple giraffes nn roller skates and red, while and blue monkeys with green eyes." George Haiisewlne, Jr., of William son. W. Va., claims that the oldest joke is the ouu about the man who came hoitie unexpected in the after noon. Ho looked all over (he house for his wife, but couldn't find her. He heard a noise in the cellar and went down. Here he found a colored woman doing the family laundry work. "Have you any knowledge of my wife's whereabouts?" asked I he man. ".No. sah!" replied the colored wo man. "They wasn't 'n the wan this week." Karl Goodwin of Raleigh, N. C. claims that the oldest joke is the one about two boys who were bad at school and the teacher told both to stay after school and write their names 501) times. Both boys started to work after school and wrote stead ily for a while. Then one of the boys stopped writing and started to cry. "What's the matter?" asked the teacher. "This ain't fair." said the boy, as he looked at th other boy. 'His name is Le and my name in Schlutterobe rauffmyer." Nodge, of Oxford. Ohio, claims that the oldest joke is the one about the old sea Captain and his first mate who came ashore Into a greasy little eating house to get a meal. They ordered soup and the waiter brought two bowls of weak-looking liquid. The Captain tasted the stuff and then said: "Hey, waiter, what Is this stuff?" "That is soup." replied the waiter. "Soup!" exclaimed the Cap tain, Then he turned to the mate and said: Just think or it Bill! Here you and me have been sallng on soup all our lives and didn't know it." Billy Byrne, the Covington (Ky.) attorney, claims that the oldest joke is the one about the Irishman who had a run of hard luck and decided to commit suicide. A man discovered the Irishman a few hours latter. He had a rope tied around his waist and was dangling from a tree. "What are you doing?" asked the man. "I'm hangin' myself," replied the Irishman. "You can't hang yourself by put ting the rope around your waist," said the man. "You should put il around your neck." "Och!" replied the Irishman. "I tried it that way, but I couldn't breaths." MKS.

Miss Snttle Married Shortly After Singing in Miss Wriiy's Wedding Today's Charlotte Observer carried the following account of a pretty ro mance, in which both Monroe and Charlotte figured: Shelby, July 21. The secret wed ding of Miss Bertie Lee Sutlle and Dr. Joe Cabanlss was announced Sat urday afternoon at a luncheon given by Mrs. Wythe ((oyster, at her home on South Washington street and by handsomely engraved announcement cards, mailed to friends the same af ternoon. The news was a great sur prise to many friends of the contract ing parties for it had been kept n profound secret for four weeks, most intimate friends being unaware of the marriage until the announcement was made Saturday. Miss Sutlle and Dr. Cabanlss were to be marred in September and Mrs. ((oyster was to announce the engagement at het luncheon. A few hours before the guests assembled, she was informed that the luncheon was to be changed lo an announcement of the wedding and the guests were duuil'ouml.'d when little Peg ram Holland, dressed as ctipld with snow white wngs. came down the center stair way, presented the bride with the wedding ring and Mrs. Roysler, the hostess, with th1 marrage certificate which Fhe read aloud to the surprised guests. The bride was one of the musicians at the MeMurry-Royster wedding at the First Baptst church here and left for Monroe where she san;; on June 28, at the wedding of her f-iend, Miss Helen Wray, daughter of Rev. John Wray, to Mr. Jack Bennett, of Miami, Fla. She was met in Monroe by Dr. Cabiness and they drove to Charlotte where the weddng ceremony was performed by Rev. L. R. Pruette, nt his parsonage in the presence of his family. Dr. Cabanlss left for Hart ford, Conn., where he Is medicai ex aminer for the Travelers' Insurance company, while the bride returned to her home In Shelby. A ('a nl From Mr. X'lsliet. To the Editor of The Journal: It is probably not amiss after the con clusion of my work as County Super intendent of Public Instruction of Union county to say a word as I take my leave of the people who have with few exceptions stood with tne in my efforts for the upbuilding of the eonntv schools. Let me say to you that I am profoundly grateful for your lovalty. and this feeling is in tensified in the case of those who so faithfully stood by tne to the very last hour of my administration, and desired my continuance in the office. I trust I shall not be so lacking in gratitude, nor so base as to forget a single one of you. Further allow me to say that I am still a citizen of I'nlon county, and shall continue to do what I can, in a reasonable way. to promote her in terests. Mv zeal in the cause of ed ucation will not abate or diminish, and I desire to see the work prosper under my successor, Prof. Ray Fun derburk. However, the work cannot prosper no matter how great the knowledge, and wisdom and skill or the leader unless there Is unstinted co-operation on the part or the peo ple. Gratefully yours, R. N.

Mc Council, state Waif boose Supciin. leiiilrni. to H present. Stale Warehouse Superintendent O. J. McConneii and James P. Brown, connected with the Bureau of Mark ets of the Federal Department of Ag riculture, will visit Monroe Saturday. July 26. with the object in view of es tablishing a warehouse here under the state system recently created by the passage of the Price Bill. At 1 o'clock in the courthouse on that day these men will explain the state warehouse system and the rules and regulations governing it. The question of the esfablisment of a warehouse here will be presented to those present. Every man who is In terested in good prices for cotton is expected at the meeting. Hon. J. N. Price, author or the bill creating the system, is expected to be present and speak concerning It. A number of towns in the state have already taken steps toward the establishment of a warehouse under the system and it is probable that this will be done at the meeting at 1 o'clock Saturday. The purpose for which the system was created is "To enable growers of cotton to more suc cessfully withstand periods of de pressed prices, etc." Any proper place for storing cotton can he made a part of the Slate Warehouse System in the following manner: The superintendent leases the warehouse at a nominal rental of one dollar per year, and then issues to the owner or owners a commission or license to operate the warehouse, charging a fee of two dollars, for this commission or license. The owners recommend and the superintendent appoints a suitable person local man ager, and this local manager enters into a bond ranging from one thou sand dollars to ten thousand dollars for the faithful performance of his duties. The warehouse thus becomes a part of the State Warehouse Sys tem, ant) is so designated. All cotton stored in a State ware house must he insured through the State Superintendent. The warehouse pays a privilege fee of fiT"Cents per bale per month on all cotton stored. This privilege fee is more than offset by the reduced in surance rate the warehouse is ena bled to get. The privilege fee will he expended in administering the net as no appro priation was provided for this pur pose. An Obituary. (By Luke MrLuke.) Oswald Fish is dead. Oswald was merely a goldfish, but he was Luke's friend and companion. For nine years he swam around In a large bowl and kept us in a good humor hy his antics. He was (he last of a family of ten. All of his brothers and sisters died off some seven years ago, and Oswald lived alone. He wasn't a fancy gold fish. He was about half sucker min now and half sardine, but he was a cheerful cuss, a boon companion and a faithful friend. He never complain ed until the last, and took things as they came like a real optimist. Pro hibition killed Oswald. One day, some six ears ago. Luke accidentally slop ped a beer out of a glass while stand ing over Oswald's bowl. Oswald dashed up to the surface and tasted the beer. He sucked up every drop he could find and hunted eagerly for more. We gave him a little more. Oswold drank it. Then he pulled off a three-ring circus all by himself. He looped the loop, stood on his head, stood on his tail and three triple sotuesaults. Every day after that we saw that Oswald received his dailv ra tion of beer. And Oswald displayed his gratitude by pulling off his three ring circus. But Prohibition put an end to beer, and two weeks ago we gave Oswald his last drink. Every day since he has tried to attract our attention so that we would give him his beer, but we had none to give. Poor Oswald sulked at the bottom of the bowl for days at a time and would not be comforted. He would not eat, and he woultl not drink water. Yesterdav morning we found him dead. The water in the bowl had turned to salt and Oswald was encas ed in his salt. He had wept so much that his tears turned the water into brine and thus caused his death. He died of thrist. Then and Xow. (From the Gaston Gazette.) Living in Gaston county in the "SOs must have been simply one nightmare after another, if we are to pudge from the files of "Gaston in the 'SO." a regular feature each week In The Gazette. How the good housewives must have racked their brains to make both ends meet. Note the fol lowing prevailing prices of the pro duce in Gastonla In December. 18S8: Clear ribbed sides. 9c; lard. 10c; Corn. 60 and 70c per bushel; flour, $2.50 ?r $3.25; sweet potatoes, 50c 60c: butter (plenty). 15 and 20c: eggs. 12 l-2c; molasses. 26 i S5c: upper leather, 45 and 50c; sole leath er, 25 and 30c. And compare them with those of the market of July 18. 1919: Clear ribbed sides. 40; lard, 45; flour. $7.00 $7.25; butter (scarce and old). 50c; eggs (cold storage), 50c; 'lasses. $1.00 & $1.10: fat back. 35c; coffee. 55c; upper leather (now known as sirloin), 60c. Sole leather has disappeared en tirely from our menu. Daylight is about all anybody can save these days. Salt Lake Citizen. .ATEST XF.WS HAPPEXIXt.S. World. National ami Mate Kienls of the Pii.st Few Day. Land, sea and air forces of the British empire and her allies were represented Saturday in the great victory parade to mark the return of peace. General Pershing, leadinz the American forces, wa given a hearty I reception. London has not witnessed i such a celebration since the late 'Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee in 1897. Washington is going through the novelty of a man hunt. A long series of daylight holdups and robberies, topped off by four attacks on white women by negroes, ha wound up with citizens taking affairs into their own hands to the extent of forming a vigilance committee and by private subscription raising a reward fund which now totals more than $2,000. Intermittent fighting has been going on between the two races. The Pacific fleet was well on its way Saturday night on the first leg of its long voyage to the West Coast. None of the pomp and ceremony which marked the departure of the world-girdling Atlantic fleet from Hampton Roads in 1907 attended the sailing today of the Armada, under Admiral Hugh Rodman. That is being reserved for the triumphant entrance of the ships into the Golden Gate I about the middle of August, where President Wilson is expected lo re jview them. After a week in the Vir ginia roadstead preparing for their .voyage, the grim siiper-dreaduaughts .and swift destroyers weighed anchor iat 8:"0 a. ni. and turned their prows seaward on a voyage that is to fur nish the first real test of the Panama Canal and carry to the people of the Pacific seaboard the first great fleet assigned io their defense. The most serious of the reoen'ly growing list of attacks on Americans in Mexico came to light Saturday. A boat load of American sailors from the 1". S. S. Cheyenne were held up in the Temesi river, on July 6. ni!ie miles off the city of Tampico, and the sailors were robbed. The American tlag was flying from the boat at tlp time. Closely resembling the attacks on American sailors which led to 'he jorcnimi ion oi vera i nil in i:n, tne Mate iiepartment aia not Hesitate to regard it as a most ?rave affair and immediately dispatched urgent repre sentatives to the Catratiza govern ment and the local authorities a: Tampico. Although the sailors were fishing, they were on official duty bringing in food for their ship, ami the American tlag flying from th" boat donated that it was official bus iness. Carranza has notified the State Department that he will do his utmost to find and punish the rob bers. His attitude probably averts a crisis. The full peace conditions of the al lied and associated powers are now in the hands ot the Austriaus. The first section of the tenus were pre sented lo I he Austrian delegates at St. Germain on June 2; the final sec tions were delivered to them at the same place today without ceremo ny by M. Dutasia, secretary-general of the peace conference. The terms comprise the whole treaty which Aus tria is asked to sign, including the reparation, financial, military and certain other minor clauses, which were not ready for presentation when the official ceremony took place. Complete amnesty for all soldiers, sailors and marines convicted by court martial except those whose of fenses would be a felony under fed eral statutes was proposed in a bill introduced Monday by Senator Cham berlain, Democrat, Oregon. "The sto ries coming to me." he said in a state ment to the senate, "many of them being verified, of the outrages being committed against young men through the instrtiinentaltiy of court martials are so horrible that some legislation ought to be acted upon promptly to obtain relif. The fact that already the Clemen y board has reduced the sentences i-.i the aggre gate from 28.000 years to '1.000 years is proof postive that the sentences were out of all proportion lo the crimes committed. These 6.000 years ought to be wiped out or placed at an irreducible minimum. I want the peo ple to understand the new terror In flicted upon our young men by these sentences and also the cruelties prac ticed against thei.:. The Spanish ;n quision was not a mark to some of the cruelites practiced against these sol diers in France." Senator Chamber lain referred to the investigation of cruelties being made by a house com mittee and said he would discuss some cases of cruel iy in a speech to the senate at a la'er date, (i became known today that Genera! Pershi'i-' had made a report to the war depart ment regarding charges of brutality against prisoners at the Bastile and prison farm number two, in France. Secretary Baker said he regretted that he could not make the report public immediately, but added that he would do so as soon as he had the opportunity to read it and collect from officers now In this country in formation regarding steps taken to punish those responsible.

Johnston of the State board of Education, to The Journal Satur day. Mrs. Johnston was here last week to aid Prof. Allen and Prof. Hawfleld in the task of organizing the school for teachers. She expressed herself as highly pleased with the attendance and the spirit of earnestness and wil lingness to take advantage of the op portunity to become a better teacher displayed by the ones present. Forty-two such schools similar to the one now in progress here are be ing conducted in various counties of the State, declared Mrs. Johnston. In the course of an interview with The Journal representative, and each one is planned to meet the conditions which prevail in the locality in which it is held. In this county, she said, there are a relatively large number of teachers who hold second grade certificates, who by the courses giv en at the school here will be prepared to stand the State examination and receive first-grade certificates. Re newal credits are also allowed. Mrs. Johnston pointed out that one half of the expense of the school was borne by the State and the remainder by the county.
