Wednesday night af ter conducting funeral services over the remains of Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Wray, relatives of his. who with Eu gene McCarrell, a Concord boy, were killed about eight o'clock Sunday uight when the automobile in which they were riding was struck by a J freight train. There were eight peo ple in the car wnen it was strucK ana splintered by the heavy freight en gine.' Mr. Wray was killed instantly, Mrs. Wray and the McCarrell boy died shortly afterward in a Columbia hos pital, while a Mrs. Parks and Arthur McCarrell, brother of the hoy killed, suffered Injuries from which they are not expected to recover. Rev. Mr. Wray conducted services at the request of their only daughter, Mrs. John Croxart of New York. Mrs. Crozart was at her home in the me tropolis when she received a telegram relating the sad news. She with her husband immediately took the train for Washington where a special train was chartered to bring them to Co lumbia. Funeral services were con ducted Wednesday afternoon In the First Baptist church in Columbia in the presence of a great crowd of friends. Interment was in one of the cemeteries of that city. The deceased Mr. Wray was an un cle of Rev. Mr. Wray and had visited here on several occasions. He is re membered here as a clever gentleman and had many friends. He was Ridgeway's wealthiest and most in fluential riiizens and his death came us a terrible shock to the people of that town. He was Interested In a number of the business enterprise. of Ridgeway and president of1 the hank. He owned much real estate. He was of a philanthropic disposition and gave liberally to worthy causes, more especially to educational purposes. A telegram was received here Sun day night notifying Rev. Mr. Wray of his uncle's death. He left Immediate ly, accompainied by Mrs. Wray and two sons. Louis and Charles. The telegram did not mention the fact that Mrs. Wray had been Injured and they were doubly shocked when they arrived to find Mr. and Mrs. Wray dead from tho accident. Eye witnesses describing the acci dent to Rev. Mr. Wray said that the automobile was approaching the track at a good rate of speed, and that Mr. Wray, who was driving, apparently did not see the freight train, which was an extra. It was declared that when within about 35 feet of the track the car suddenly shot forward at an Increased speed. A negro ten ant of the deceased says that he was standing heond t';e track and waved frantically and railed In an attempt to direct Mr. W ray's attention to the oncoming train. There are two the ories in an effort to account fr the accident. The first that Mr. Wray did not see the lr;.iu until very near the track, as th view was partly ob structed, and then in an effort to s,rp his car pressel the speed accelerator by mistake, no sing it to shoot for ward. The other is that he mlsunder stool the i:g,)'s frantic motions to mean tin' soi. .'.'thing was wrong up the .pud and lo hurry to render as sistance. The D.mce Dew rlhed. Sampson Democrat. We looked in won the dance at Luniina ( Wrlghtsvi'.le Beach), given "complimentary" tc the Press Asso ciation. No "immodest" dancing Is allowed there, we understand, hut when an 18-year old youth rests his cheek against that of an equally youthful partner presses her breast against his, interweaves his legs back and forth between hers and vice versa well that kind of dancing is Just as much a "compliment" as the Democrat desires of the kind. But. mind you, there were couples upon the floor that danced more decently and. also more gracefully. It seemed to be a case of choose your own style of hug, and there were all degrees af ter a hand lightly laid upon the back with the young lady's face and body several inches from those of her part ner to the style described above, with an occasional extra touch to that. But how does a mother know what style her daughter or hr daughter's part ner will prefer? Somebody's daugh ters certainly chose or allowed the closer embrace. But maybe flesh and blood are not heirs to the old pas sions; yet somehow we think they are. A telegram received last week from the railroad authorities at Marion, Va., Informed Mr. J. H. Rector, of North Wllkesboro, that the company's agent, his brother-in-law, Mr. Robert Humphreys, had been killed by a train there. About a year aeo Mr. Rector had another brother-in-law killed in that state by railroad acci dent and since that time a nephew who was a government guard on a railroad bridge during the war was found dead at night by the guard who went to relieve him.

"Thank ye, sorr," said the private. "But. sorr " "Yes?" "If you wouldn't mind now, sorr." I asked O'Connor, "couldn't ye pin the; twenty-five dollars on me breast and put the medal In the bank?" I mi:, helms shoots person at tempting to kxteh his home Was Amused It) Some One Raising Window and El red nt Flashlight Frank Watts, Colored, with Thumb Shot Away is t'mler Arrest. Frank Watts, colored, who lives on Mr. W. D. Hawfield's place in Vance township, will face trial on Septem ber 3. charged with breaking and en tering the home of Mr. Tom Helms, who lives on Mr. Bud Secrest's place in north west Monroe township. The negro is carrying his left arm In a sling with his thumb shot away. It is alleged that the wounds were in flicted by Mr. Helms when 'the negro attempted to enter his home, in which his family was sleeping. Mr. Helms was aroused at about 11 o'clock Wednesday night by some one raising the window at the foot of his bed. Hastily arising he seized his gun. and as he did so the person out side ran. 'Mr. Helms crouched be side the bed and about ten minutes later he distinguished in the darkness on the outside the bulk of a person stealthily approaching the house. Cautiously a hand was placed on the ledge of the window and a flashlight in its grasp illuminated the room. At this moment Mr. Helms fired at the light. The flashlight fell from the hand but the person made his escape. Go ing out Mr. Helms secured the flash light and a portion of a sleeve which had been torn away by the shot. A trail of blood disclosed the direction the night prowler had taken. Deputy Sheriff Clifford Fowler was notilied and trailed the wounded one for several miles. The community In which the negro lived being thus dis covered. Enquiry was then made by telephone if a negro man of the com munity had had the service of a phys ician in the past few hours. In this manner It was learned that Frank Watts had gone to a Charlotte hospi tal with wounds In his left hand and arm. When the negro came down on the train from Charlotte last night he was immediately placed under arrest. He told the officers that he had accl dently shot his thumb away while drunk. The flashlight which fell from the hand when Mr. Helms fired is about IS Inches long and an extra fine one. A hook which, it is said, burglars use in removing objects of clothing from a house or the walls of a room, was also secured. Watts has previously borne a good reputation. The Anti-Typhoid Campaign. Three years ago Union County be gan its campaign against typhoid fe ver by providing free vaccination or inoculation with typhoid serum. That this resulted in a marked decrease in the prevalence of this disease there can be no doubt. It Is the opinion of those who know most about the : 'tbject that the immunity lasts prob ably three or four years. For this lesson the present board of county commissioners have made arrange ment to again furnish free inocula tion to every one who wishes to take it. It is earnestly desired that as ;uany as possibly can. will take ad vantage of this opportunity to the end that this disease may be eventual ly .tamped out In Union County. The State Boar! of Health has charge of this eampui;-"i and offers to give this treatment tree to that county in vhich the largest percentage of the popuatlon is inoculated. There are thirty counties in the State that are In this contest and Judging by the number that have taken It In the counties that have finished the cam paign Union County stands a good chance to be the banner county and thus get its protection practically free of cost. The campaign started last Saturday. Doctor Johnson of the State Board and Doctor Stevens of Monroe have been to various appoint ments thus far and report a good be ginning. The program provides for four visits to each of the appointed places hence those who have not tak en the treatment this week, may start in next week at their most conveni ent place and still get the complete treatment. Some have forgotten others were In doubt as to the time and place and some others could not make up their mind to all these there Is still an opportunity to take he treatments necessary to confer immunity- Chose whatever place Is most convenient to you, irrespective of township or voting precinct lines. It is hoped that the people of Union County will unite to make this cam paign a success. By Order of Board County Commissioners. "The Unpalnted Woman" will br shown at The Pastime Theatre To day.

The clerk wondered why the nip ple were needed and was told by the farmer that one of his brood sows had a family of twelve youngsters, but nature had provided for only ten lunch counters for the litter. At the present price of pork Kellar decided he could not afford to let two pigs die for want of nourishment, so he will act as dry nurse to the extra porkers for a time. The Drug Clerk's Journal.

Rotter. "I am the way." St. John 14:6. By "the church" I mean Christian people generally, and by "labor" 1 mean the labor question of the pres ent day. What should be me atti tltude toward the labor problem of people w ho are trying to walk in the way of Jesus. The history of lbaor shows us four distinct stages of development: 1. Slavery Capital owning labor, or capitalists owning the laborers. 2. Feudalism Capital owning the land, and labor attached to the land: or the landlord as capitalist owning the labor of the tenant. 3. Apprenticeship Capitalist own ing sen ices of apprentice by contract for a term of years, when the latter became a journeyman and his own master, working with his own tools. 4. Capital owning the tools and employing the laborer at a wage agreed upon. We are in the fourth stage of the development now. The tools have become too expensive for the most part to be owned by the laborer. So a capitalist, or several or many cap italists, become the owners, usually in the form of a corporation or stock company. The stage driver used to he able to own his own stage, but the engineer cannot own his own loco motive. The expense of the tool, or more broadly the machinery of pro duction, has caused a great gulf be tween capital and labor, and placed labor to a certain extent at the mercy of capital. So the effort of labor has heen to control the tools. There appear to be two widely recognized ways of do ing that: 1. Organized labor, to in licate who shall use the tools, how long per day, and at what rate of wage. 2. Socialism, under which all tools would be owned hy the govern ment or state, as well as all produc tive wealth. Organized labor is the rule now for the most part, and economic war Is the condition. We know that by the strikes and rumors of strikes and lockouts and rumors of lockouts that fill the papers and the air and the conservation of the day. These strikes and 'lockouts are the raids and forays across the enemy front iers and Indicate the slate of war that exists. The conflict seems to he due to a sense of moral distrust on the part of the laborer. He is protesting not because he is earning less than he used to, for he Is earning more; but lie knows more and feels more and wishes more and needs more. The di vision of profits seems to him unjust. And so while on the one hand there is going on a search for industrial peace, on the other there is a demand for industrial justice. The problem Is lo get peace with justice and with out the necessity of victory. Co-operation is a proposed solution of the problem under the present con ditions of organized labor and econo mic war. It has been tried in spots with success in some and disaster in others. It means profit-sharing, or in oilier words giving labor a pro portionate share in capital itself, stock In the plant, part ownership in the tools, recognizing labor as part of capital, with corresponding dividend of profit or loss. Being more of a mural movement than an economic device it depends for its outcome up on the patience, thrift, loyalty, char acter of its operators. It is a produc er of fine human beings if successful. It is related that the passage of Caesar over the Alps was delayed most seriously by the number of asses that were used as burden beareivi. It has also been said that the progress of co-operation has been retarded by the same animals. And co-operation lias failed many times in actual prac tice. As a system, however, It does illu strate somewhat the teaching of Je sus that we must be diligent in our every-day tasks In order that we may become better fitted in character for higher and higher work; that we must look at our work from above and Interpret it from within. A group conducting a co-operative shop with fidelity, self-sacrifice, and patience, seem as the work grows, to have made a good commercial venture, while really they are showing the principle of the Christian religion as to industry, that progress begins from within. This Is because it converts a machine into a man and so has a place in the Christian program of In dustrial life. As to the solution which Socialism proposes, I wish to consider one phase merely of it by attempting to answer one question: Is Socialism the way of Jesus? It has been observed by economic scholars that much as there is In the language of the Gospels to encourage the view that Socialism is the way of Jesus, nevertheless the Identification of the teaching of Jesus with modern Socialism has never entirely com mended itself to the Socialists them selves. It has been remarked that the more thoughtful advocates of this radical reform have felt a subtle difference, as a change of atmosphere, when ihey passed 'rom their social schemes out to the spirit of Jesus' teaching. One breathes in the Gos pels a climate of tolerance, mercy, and many-sidedness that is far from st ninlating to the Socialist temper, and which moderate the b''-riiss of his Indletniom ,,- i!,,, vol Id. So ;Mrj.iljs!u is said to have . r Mi secure in accepting as an .i!lv the impulses of the Chr'stian religion. Many of Jesus' sayings read like orthodox Socialist doctrine, but then suddenly there is uttered something destructive of the Socialist creed. For instance the Parable of the La borers in the Vineyard, where the principle of remuneration proposed is that all who are ready to work be paid an equal wage. Was ever par able of industry more prophetic of a modern program? has been asked. It well-nigh anticipates the new form ula. "Man for man. time for time; from each according to his capacity, to each according to his needs." It gave Rusken his text in "Unto this Last." If this saying were the whole of Jesus' teachings on industrial life we should have a sweeping doctrine of social revolution indeed. But turn a few pages and read word 4 in com plete opposition to ttit do-trine of equality a law of essential and cum ulative inequality, "For unto every one that hath shall be given." and "From him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away." And we see the same principle ap plied not only to ;noney gain, but gain in knowledge, capacity of ob servation, or judgement. Now. the whole experience of life testifies to the enlargement of capac ity by its use. and the shrinking of unused faculties, as of a limb, by dis use. Jesus evidently was not think ing oT economic profits or losses, but the education of souls for the King dom of God. and he observes that in God's training two principles exist: Cumulative returns, proportionate judgement. So a man Is led to do his best because his powers either devel op or atrophy as he uses or disuses them, and also because the Judge ments of God will be determined not by absolute achievements but pro portionate fidelity. Thus the two principles that seem economically in consistent are spiritually allied. All lo the confusion of the Socialistic re former. Jesus' way contains the program of Socialism at its best, and much more. There is place In it for the principle of equal compensation, and also recognition of the opposite truth of unequal endowment. The relation of the Christian soci al ideal and the Socialist ideal has been compared to that of two paral lel lires in different planes. Both have the same direction. But they are on different levels. Their start ing points are different and their ends are different. And they can nev er meet. The Socialist program be gins with the observation of economic needs and ends in an ideal of econo mic change. Jesus' way of life be gins with a sense of spiritual need and ends in the Ideal of a spiritual kingdom. Bo h move through the life of the real world, giving laws to its industry and direction to its ener gy. But the aim of ihe one is to make the poor rich, and the aim of the other is lo make the bad good. So cialism finds in economic transform ation th ecause of character. Jesus counts on character to bring econ omic change. The Socialist program must depend lor its perpetuation upon unselfish ness, magnanimity, and simplicity of character. But it seems to make no adequate provision for the training of these virtues. It seems to say. Na tionalize the means of production, abolish capitalists, and then the same persons who are today ambitious, competitive, self-seeking, will become tomorrow public-spirited, generous, and self-controlled. Cleanse the out side of the cup and platter, and the inside will be purified. Jesus teaches that the chief difficulty with indus trial life is not mechanical but moral. Many a modern man has accepted Satan's terms when shown the glo rias of this world and told they may nil be his If he will but fall down and 'orshlp the Devil. Tly root of In d"strial trouble Jesus finds not In conditions but In character. The question has become threatening not because the economic system Is bad but because people are. Not through good machinery primarily but through good men is th solution to be reached. We can see the practical nrohlem of modern Industry through this con trast of ideals. Here are the two levels, the upper as traced by Jesus, the lower as pointed out by Social ism. If Ihe social movement of the day does not proceed along the high er plane, it is likely to take the lower level. X problem so intensely felt is bound to find some channel of ex pression, and If that channel be not the one marked out by Jesus, then it will be the one most readv to receive the stream of passionate feeling, the channel of the Socialist transforma tion. So in many minds the creed of so cial revolution has become a distinct substitute for a spiritual religion. Men are going to the scaffold or th. chair for the cause of economic revo lution as once thev died for Christ. They are giving their lives for the creed of Socialism with a spirit akin to that of Christian martyrs. This seems surprising when we consider that this creed is In form an economic program, and that the articles of this religion deal not with spiritual real ities but with question of wages and taxation. But it is all because this creed represents to multitudes of people a religion, and provides a sub stitute for that way of Jesus that they have been led to reject. It has been well said that Ihe So cialist program, in other words, rep- rese-i's trie penalty the modern world is paving for i's insufficient odedi ence to the social teaching of Jesus. The truth of this Is paralleled by that companion truth that the World War In one aspect was the penalty the nations paid for their failure In !(.EX. IIAH.'S JKRhEY COWS AMI l.EE'S SOLITARY HE V. Confederal? Veteran Smile nt the Story of Hie English Commander's Cows When They Think of Lw's U.ne Hen and His Disappointing Jug of liuttermilk. (Literary Digest.) Two excellent Jersey cows were in cluded in the retinue that followed Field-Marshal Haig. the English Commander-in-Chief, in his campaign on the French front, so that the head quarters staff might never be without fresh milk and creatu. "Confederate veterans will smile reminiscently and enviously at this story." says The News-Leader of Richmond. "Think of the affluence of an army the com mander of which carried two milch cows with him wherever he went!" The editor proceeds to call up from me past a personal and picturesque bit of American history: To old gray-coats who trnw hun gry even now in reflecting upon the privations or tne later years of the war between the States. th thins seems Inconceivable! Whv. thtt mead of General Lee never boasted of a Sin gle cow, except for a very brief peri- , od. Its solitary hen, the pride of Cook Bryan's heart, was guarded with jealous apprehension, because no man knew when the hunger of some passi;. soldier might rletirlvn General Lee of his daily egg, the chief staple of his diet. In fact, there was a suspicions element of mystery about the final liisunnear.mce of that hen. All the v. inter she nested in a headquarters wagon, alarmed neither hy the roar of cannon nor the clatter of couriers' horses. She was as reg ular in depositing her egg for the be loved commander as Stuart's cavalry was in its scouting. But when the army began to move for the final summer campaign, the hen whose cackling had been constant music at Headquarters and whose unabashed presence had graced manv a council of war was nowhere to be found. In his charity to all men. I.ee pvntninod that the hen must have strayed away; Dtit deep down In his heart, Bryan had a conviction that It was nnt & case of straying, but of stealing. Some irreverent soldier. Bryan always maintained, secretly slew and ate the sacred fowl whose eggs had helped in making the battle-plans of the Army of Northern Virginia,. -r And to think of callous of fresh milk gallons, liierallv for the nrl- vate mess of Marshal Haic, whether the commander was pressing his of fensive or hurrying to the endangered front! The old Confederate never had fresh milk, and when thev had buttermilk, the fart that ft was kept in a tug usually raised false hones the shattering of which left no stom ach for buttermilk. Was It not so that famous day when I.ee Invited his staff and a few visiting generals to have a drink? There had been a re port, detailed and precise, of a cer tain bottle of very old apple brandy which some admirer had prest upon General I.ee. The commander, of course had not touched it, but men Whispered excitedly he always carried II with his headquarters baggage. When, therefore, he smilinelv invited his guests to take a drink, instanter came visions of that bottle uncovered in great good humor and passed from parching lips to cracking throat. But Ihe corous delicti nroved to he n lug. not a bottle, and, what was a much more serious matter, desoite an In sinuating gurgle, when at. last it poured forth Its contents, they prov ed to be buttermilk, not brandy. Lee, history repeats In all soberness, was the only man who enjoyed either the joke or the dram! As for Haig who knows hut that a general who carried two cows aftr him on a motor-lorry might not have had a hidden hamper as well? The luck of some men! A (ieniilne Surprise.
