'THE UNION COUNTY PAPER EVERYBODY READS IT -THE UNION COUNTY PAPER EVERYBODY NEEDS IT" HE MONROE JOURNAL PUBLISHED TWICE EACH WEEK TUESDAY AND FRIDAY VOL 23. No. 51. MONROE, N.C., TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1919, $1.50 PER YEAR t H. JOHN PAKkElt MAY RUN lOlt 4.0V. OS REPUBLICAN TICKET following Statement by Tom HoM Thai He Could UH the Nomination If fl? Wanted It. Mr. Parker Make Statement to The Journal. Mr. J. J. Parker can set the Re publican, nomination (or governor if lie seeks it, according to Tom Host. Raleigh correspondent of the Greens boro Daily News, and well known po litical authority. In his correspond ence cf yesterday Mr. Dost had the following item: "John Parker admits that Repub licans are boosting him for governor and he is not certain just what he should do. They nominated him in 1916 for attorney general and he :nade i he race, conducted a fine cam paign, and won a lot of friends. He is a fine speaker and yet well under 40. He doubtless can get the nomina tion if he seeks it. He cannot make up his mind what he should do if he heard the call of the party." To a Journal representative who approached Mr. Parker relative to this report he did not deny that he was considering the proposition and Intimated that he might enter the race. He stated that a number of his friends had urged him to run but that he felt a delicacy in allowing his name to be considered because there were so many other men In the party he dee'ned more worthy of the hon or. He said that he considered the campaign of 1920 as the most In portant event in t He life of the State for many years, and that to be the standard bearer of a political party In this campaign would lie to occupy a position of responsibility, and that lie would not consider entering into any sort of scramble for the position, lie said, however, that this was not a time to make politics a matter of personalities and that if at the proper time it appeared to him thai he could serve the State by entering (lie cam paign he would not hesitate to enter. Those who know Mr. Parker best know that this is a sincere statement of his position. He is primarily a lawyer, and during the ten years or more he has practiced law at Monroe lie has devoted himself to the study and practice of law, having become known as a student and advocate. He takes a great interest in public ques tions, however, and although only 34 years of age lie has already made two notable political campaigns in the State, one in 1910 when ns nominee for Congress In ihe 7th District he' had a joint canvass of the district with R. X. Page; Ihe other In 1916 when as nominee for attorney general he canvassed the greater part of the State, sinking speeches which won for him 'he high retard and esteem of all political paries. That he is not tmac-,1 Glinted with practical politics is demonstrated by t lie fact that he was campaign manager tor John .l. Mnreread in tile fliih ci st riot in 19n! when t!'" hit tt r was elected to Con gress overcoming a normal Demo cratic : ui ioriiv of S.opii. The Mention of Mr. Parker's name in connection with the gubernatorial linmitui' Son is interesting from a maii ber of .'.null's. He and Lieut. Gov. O. Max Gardner were students at the University at the same lime, he being president of the athletic association mid Mr. Gardner being captain of the football team. Then, ns stated, it was acainst Mr. R. X. Page, another candidate for the governorship, that Mr. Parker conducted his campaign for Congress in 1910, their joint de bate being one which will be remem bered for years In this district. The people of our county are all friends of John Parker and they are pleased to know that he Is being con sidered for the high office of Gover nor. Men of all parties know that he Is a man who "measures up," and If he should be nominated by the Re publican party he will make a cam paign which will be long remem bered. A signal hoiior was conferred upon Mr. Parker at the meeting of the North Carolina state bar at the O. Henry hotel in Greensboro last week, when he was electd vice-president of the association. This goes to prove that although he is yet. a voting man his worth and abilltv has ben recog nized by the members of the profes sion. (il l mid Gouts .i Dalton Photoplay.

Howie with kindred and close friends enjoyed a most delightful day togeth er at the old home six miles west of Monroe on Thursday of last week. "Aunt Kate," the mother of the family, bale and hearty at 78 years, was at her best and all vied with each other in making her Joy com plete on this occasion. Children and friends came from half a dozen states of the Union and and sections of the state, the sur rounding town and immediate com munity to be with the family and help make a glad day for all. The grand old grove and spacious lawn of the old homestead was a most fitting place for this gathering and nothing was left undone by the devoted sons and daughters to make the appolutmen's complete. Alter some aunouncemen's by the chairman, Mr. Hugh H. Winchester cf Louisville. Ky., prayer was offci'ed by Rev. R. J. Mcllwain of Monroe. Mr. F. H.

Mr. Mcllwain then made Ihe ad dress of the day and a truly inter esting one it was taking for hh subject "The Scotch People and the Scotch Irish People." being one and the same great race to whom Amer ica owes so much; which race the Howie family Is a part. Following this the speaker gave a brief history of the Howies from the settlement of William and Robert "Scotchman" on Twelve Mile creek about the year 1790, to the present time. After tills came the presentation of a handsomely engraved and beauti ful silver loving cup to Mrs. Howie, the gift of her son. Mr. S. T. It wie of Charleston. West Va. On cr.e side of the cup were engraved 'he names of the mot her and all ol the living children, anil on the oiht1' Hide the names of the father and all the ele ct ased child. en. Mr. Wolfe then mad ' a fev felici tous remarks on the joyfulness of the occasion and closing this part of the program. The chairman then requested alt present to enroll their names on the register provided for the purpose and more than 173 names went down. Then under the great oaks a picnic dinner wus spread on tables which said In language plainer than words "Come, eat." The Invitation was ac cepted and all gave free rein to the social for the remainder of the day. The sons present were: S. T. How- ,ie, and wife. Charleston. W. Vu.; J. K.

Laney and Mrs. Heath Lee were called home last week from Lake Junaluska on account of the se rious illness of Mr. H. R. Laney. Mrs. Laney reports that the mountains are very congested, It being almost Im possible to secure accommodations at the larger hotels. Many people are forced to sleep in automobiles, tents and shacks. Many Monroe people remember pleasantly Miss Eugenia Rowe who made her home here when her fa ther, Dr. J. C. Rowe. was pastor of Central Methodist church and presid ing elder of Ihe district. Mrs. W. T. Host had the following to sav of Miss Rowe in Stunt;1.) 's Greensboro News; "Mis.i Eugenii lowe of Ashe vllle. daughter of Dr. J. ('. I'owe and a sister of Dr. Gilb"t Rove Metho idist minister, is North, Criulli.a's contribution to 11 e unit or l'iO young women sent out by the General Fed eration of Women's Clubs for duty in France. The unit works officially under the V. M. C. A., but. according to the contract of the general feder ation, the 100 women are being main tained by the women's clubs for a year. Fifteen thousand dollars Is liie amount still, needed to make out the fund. Which gives to each girl a year ly allowance of about 12.600. A num ber of the federation girls went over in January, and the others followed later. Mrs. Robert R. Cotten Is a member of the war victory commis sion and had seven of the southern stales under her supervision. The amount contributed by North Caro lina clubs to the war victory fund was 11,600.45. Miss Rowe Is pleas antly and permanently located In Paris. M;. Cotten says. Her willing ness to do any piece of work assign ed her to do has greatly impressed the woman director In France, who places Ihe young women upon their arrival." hit. XEAL I.M Tl KEI ON HiAM'K "Her Ciilonis iiikI IVople," the Sub. ject (if His Addro.H at Central Methodist Church. An Interesting service was held at Central Methodist church Sunday evening when Dr. Kemp Xeal, son of Dr. J. W. Xeal. addressed a large congregation on "France, Her Cus toms and People." Dr. Xeal is a graduate of Trinity and Harvard and though a young man, has made quite a reputation as a skilled surgeon. He was overseas several months with Base Hospital Unit 65. One .of the principal things he tried to Impress upon his hearers was that we could pattern after France along educa tional lines much to our benefit. France, he said, laid more stress on training the artistic side, the im agination; and the classics were taught in her schools and colleges and given a prominent place. The effect of this teaching is apparent in ihe beautiful pictures in their art galleries, the artistic architecture, and handsome, durable homes and public buildings. He said in our schools we laid too much stress on teaching our youth how- to make money. We do not value the aes thetic side, the love of the beautiful and art is not impressed upon our children as it should be. We should teach them thai there is more in life than mere money-making. Dr. Xeal also wanted lo correct the prevalent impression that Ihe French people were highly immoral and lhat their cities and towns were very unsanitary. The tales that the doughboys bring back are not alwas entirely correct at least it is not true of all of France nor of all the people. Of course their customs are different from ours hi many respects but as for their immorality, the greatest difference lies in I heir be ing open with what they do while we try to keep ours hidden. The better class of French people are delightful, and their hospi tality even exceeds thai of our Southland, The average doughboy did not come In contact with the bet ter class and his impressions were gained mostly from the peasants. As for Ihelr exorbitant charges, it is no worse than In our camp ciiies. Re sides Ihe soldier had everything he needed furnished him by Uncle Sam and Ihe things they bought were con sidered luxuries and were subject lo war tax. Dr. Xeal defended the Y. M. C. A. which has been co severely criti cised, and told of their splendid work for Ihe boys. He said they could not give things away like the K. of C, Salvation Army and some other or ganizations, but they were authorized by the government to sell them at a price to make the business run it self. Their money was spent to build lints, furnish writing material and provide aitiusement and entertain ment for the hoys. He also made i lent ion of the work of the Red Cross wvlch is loo well known to need roi.iinent. A splendid audience greeted Dr. rveal and he held their rapt atten tion throughout his address. Miss Elizabeth Roberts of Annis on, Ala., who was spending the day Willi Mrs, C. X. Simpson Jr., render ed a veal selection which was lho"oughly enjoyed. Ilang.r! Look Will) Xo Lunging Eyes at "Oilier Men' Wives" That it is a dangerous thing lo look wiii longing eyes on other men's wives, Is the moral brought out in Thomas H. lure's latest Paramount picture "Other Men's Wives," in which Dorothy Dalton is starred with a remarkably strong cast supporting her. ,The story concerns a young girl In desperate circumstances who Is used by a designing man as a cat's paw to stcratch the domestic felicity of another man's wife. He who dis dains the sanctity of the home, is in love with a married woman and Is nn apostle of the creed that all is fair In love. The husband Is above re proach and the only hope for divorce grounds is to catch him in some com promising position. The young girl, played by Dorothy Dalton, Is used for this purpose. In the dramatic development It turns out her character is too strong and Bhe exposes the intrigue. The crisis rev olutionizes her own life and wins for ber the resnect of an honorable man that later develops Into a true love. The picture will be shown at the Strand Theatre Friday. It was di rected by Victor L. Schertzliiger, tuf der the supervision of Thomas H. Ince. In the supporting cast are Forrest Stanley. H. H. Herbert. Dell Boone, Elsie Larimer and Hal Clem ents. Pineville Downs Stalling'. Correspondence of The Journal. Stalling. Aug. 7. Stallings base ball team went over lo Sardis yes terday and played a Idose and unin teresting game of ball with a team composed mostly of Charlotte city league players under Ihe name of Pineville. Pope who started for Stallings was snowed under In the first with a shower of hits and runs and Muse who followed hlni fared little better, and only the fast field ing of the Stallings team saved him. Purcell. who hails from New York was easily Ihe star for Pineville scoring three of their seven runs. Garrison was ever in a hole but the Stallings boys were unable to find him in a pinch; although they rapped out hit after hit they were tirable to score until the ninth.

Died Sunday Morning About .Nine O'tlotk or flight's ieit Cii netnl Sen b e Cnmliictttl From Ihe Hmiie YeMenlay Afternoon. Mr. II. R. Laney died at his home on Windsor avenue Sunday morning about 9 o'clock, death result ing from Bright's disease from which he had sintered for several mouths. Mr. Laney had been unable to work for some time past but his condition be came critical only a few days ago. To many news of his death came as a distinct shock. Henry Raeford Laney was the fourth son of ihe late Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Laney. He was born al the old Laney residence on the corner of Windsor and Church streets in 1870. and was therefore 49 years old. About twenty years ago he was mar ried to Miss Pearl Ogburn and she with three sons, Mr. Raeford Laney and Masters Yates and Nick Lanev. survive. Messrs. J. F. and C. E. La ney are brothers and Mesdames G. S. Lee, Charles Ayscue, Lura Evans and Virginia Davis are sislers of the de ceased. For years Mr. Laney had been em ployed by the Seaboard Air Line Railway as freight conductor. He was a popular man among the rail way employees and a member of the Order or Railway Conductors. Along the route which he piloted his train, the deciased was well and favorably known. A big Ilea it coupled with a com panionable disposition were traits which won many friends Tor Mr. La ney. Since bohood Mr. Laney had been a member of Central Methodist church and a member of Ihe choir. He was a baritone singer of nole and his rendering of solos tin bis rich clear voice were looked forward to with pleasure by the congregation of Central Methodist church. It was only three weeks ago that he attend ed services and rendered a solo with remarkable reeling and expression. Funeral services were conducted at the home yesterday afternoon at four thirty. Rev. J..E. Abernethy, pastor of the Methodist church at Salisbury, and Rev. S. I, Rotter, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church, assisted Rev. H. H. Jordan, pastor of Central Meth odist church, in the service. Many friends and relatives were in attend ance and the dotal offerings were most beautiful and profuse. Messrs. D. A. Houston, A. M.

To the Editor of The Journal. Mr. R. B. Redwine's call for a mass ineeliug of Ihe people of Union coun ty next Thursday morning at the courthouse, to adopt plans to erect a monument in memory of Union's ! soldiers who lost their lives in the World War, and to provide ways for . collecting and preserving data re jgarding Union's part in the great i war, must arouse almost universal interest throughout the county. As one recently come into the county, the matter is no less of inter est to me. I have been hoping ever since the fighting slopped that there would be some movement to com memorate the lives that have been lost to us here in some way by which they might he found again in the lives of Ihe living. It occurred to me some time ago that no better service could result from these lives spent for liberty that the establishment or a public library for the use of the people of Union county. I have felt lhat 'hose who died for the world's freedom could bequeath no worthier boon lo those left behind to continue the struggle against the powers of darkness than a dace where the truth that shall make us all free can be studied through books, the products of ihe world's greatest minds. The building would be permanent, and it could be suitably inscribed. I notice that Mr. Redwine is quot ed in the papers assaying that he did not wish to discredit the movement to erect a community building as a memorial, but he thought it belter to erect a monument first. Xow. every one who has had exeprieiire in col lecting funds for any public enter prise knows that it is next to impos sible lo raise money a second time for the same or practically ihe same proposition. If Ihe monument should be erected, that would end the mat ter of n memorial for t ho dead sol diers. The opportunity for a commu nity building or librarv or both, con tained in one building would be lost. I have just learned that the last bulletin of Ihe Slate Library Associ ation carries a strong plea for Ihe erection of memoiial libraries instead of simple monuments in honor of our dead soldiers. I have not seen the bulletin, but I learn that the argu ment for Ihe libraries there is thai the memorials should combine utili tarisiu value with ornamental anil historical worth. It is pointed out that following the Civil War monu ments were erected at many county seats and have contributed nothing to their communities more than their imposing beauty and historical re minder, whereas If library buildings had been started, imposing beauty mid historical reminder would have been all retained, and an Immeasur able magnetic usefulness added, and so entire communities helped to a luller lite because of the lives that were spent for those communities The community building as a coun ty center, with mooting hall, reading room, library, recreation and rest nuns for the use of men and women end boys and girls of the whole county, appears the tiling most needed and most to be desired. The only argument I can conceive against it is that it would cost more than simply a monumental slab or shaft. But when you think about the lives to be memorialized, that argument becomes one in iis favor. These lives were priceless, and priceless should he the memorial of them. The cost of maintenance and improvement would fall upon us as Ihe vtnrs roll along, and be taken up by the com ing generations to b e benefitted in their turn. Union county has no central nub ile library. Here is the opportunity to get one. I cannot help feeling lhat the men themselves who have gone b'yond would prefer lhat their life giving be the means of more abund ant life for those they died for, rath er than that they themselves simply be glorified in lasting marble or en during bronze. ' They have glory enough as It is. They gave their lives in service. Let that servife "carry on" and be Imperishable in the immortal lives enlightened by the printed page that bears the torch of undying light from generation to generation through the ages, illumi nating more and more of the truth to each successive line of men. S. L. Rotter, Monroe. X, C Aug. 11. Tobacco is se iing down In east ern Carolina from on to ninety-one cents a pound, according to Mr. W. W. Horn, who -is Just bark from a trip in that section. Speaking of th crop, and prices, he said: "Two months ago the people In the tobac co b-it iiad the beAt prospects for crops in their history. The rains came, and now- they will lie doing well lo harvest two-thirds of an av erage sized crop. Low grade tobac co, which sold from 26 to 4ft cents last year, brings only from one lo four cents this season. High-grade tobacco, though, is bringing fancy prices, the average being from fin lo R0. Some of the farmers, whose crops were not badly hurt, are unk ing small fortunes this year, but there are many others who have gon bankrupt. I saw one man who sold $6,000 worth of tobacco off 18 acres, and still had about $3,000 worth to market. One of the best successes was made by a young farmer. W. C. Parhani, near Latta. He sold the tobacco off 100 acres of land at an average of 38 and one-half cents, and "ill make 400 bales of cotton. He stands to make $.r0.0oo or more this year." Misses Louise and Mattie Rass of Chester, S. C, are visiting Miss Edna Helms at Carmel. j FAIR I'ltICK COMMITTEE TO HE APPOINTED EACH HHNTY l'rolileei- Will Be Sought by Thous ands ol sleiilbv To Ihiltlisli Prices Weekly. Attorney General Palmer has start ed out to ascertain how much of the high cost of living is due to excessivs profits by retailers. In a telegram to all state food ad ministrators who worked with . Ad ministrator Hoover during the war, Ihe attorney general requested the appointment 0f a fajr juire commit" tee in each county to investigate what is being charged for retail necessi ties and if in excess of what the com mittee considers just, to publish a list of fair prices tor the guidance of the public. This is the "extra legal" means of reaching profiteering which Mr. Palmer recently indicated was under consideration. He has frankly ad milted from the start that there wai no means to prosecute directly a man guilty of extortion in prices. Retail' ers who are gouging the ultimate consumer will have to be disciplined by public sentiment, which officials have no doubt is sufficiently alert to Ihe situation now to act vigorously in clear-cut cases. Hoarders, on the other hand, can be reached through Ihe wartime food laws or the Sher man act. and Mr. Palmer requested the state rnd administrators to transmit to him any evidence of hoarding or n her violation of the law which t "i -- might encounter in their work. i'li the promise that the government's !.mv enforcement ma chinery would act promptly. MARVIN I.. ItlCII IS LINING UP THE LABOR VOTE I'OR PAGE Former Monroe Man i Pit-tly Active in Labor ami Political Circles, and is Working for E-Coiigivssmaii, (TOM BOST In Greensboro Xews.) The call for Ihe circumstances, made In answer lo a demand for all the Morrison help possible, of that legislative vote, did not prove to be worth much to Mr. Morrison. The Old Guard appears lo lie very fickle. It cannot make up its mind that it likes ihe looks of labor. She is A very likely lady, comely, and the Old Guard has paid .court to much worse and worse-lookers. Mcnu-hile Mar vin L. Rich, not one blamed bit of kin to J. Hamp, the unhampered and un hamperable Rich of Columbia uni versity and Inventor of the nucleus, nuclrolinus and the boob nail, goes about the state, does Marvin Rich, or ganizing labor everywhere, and ex Conirressinaii Bob Page is goin? to get his share. Some of Gardner's friends feared the labor attack if it was made. They did not dread a show-down with Morrison-- thev just hated lo have to stop tin grand march of Gardner to answir a few hen-pecking objections. As for Gardner himself, he never worried. He knew the solitary as sault on him for appointment of cer tain senators on the educational com mittee, could be iiulliliid by passing the buck. The leading educators had urged such appointment. The Ship inan Incident turns out lo lie ihe most trivial thing possible. The only hop ol getting up any excitement is to manufacture it, for the Old Guard al lowed its members to humiliate an other. The effect of Marvin Rich's work will certainly be the leading of as many men away from Morrison as possible. The big football player, who has been having great luck in the towns, hopes to capture the labor vote for Bob Page. The, ex-congressman has a splendid record for deal ing with the workingman who toils with his hands and feet. As an em ployer he treated his fellows with great liberality and they will like him as a candidate. But they like Gardner, too, and th reason Isn't to hunt. Gardner Is one of the finest farmers in Xorl Caroli na, has gone from the srhools where he taught agricultural chemistry in to the fields and coaxed them into production that is t he marvel of his county. Then he knows how to be at home with the laboring man. Vice-President Tom Marshall says that the employer who calls his help Rill and Tom nver has strikes. Sure ly the candidate who uses the first name or the nickname of more men than any North Carolnian who has yet eor.i.e down Ihe pike, will be able to sto. :i rush away from him. If Gardner bin! a record difficult lo de fend be would get a big labor vote because be is the prince of mixers. And the coup fo- Morrison a few weks am v ill b- a score for Pa?" and Gardner.
