Mar shall is in Jail await ins a preliminary hearing. The killing was the outgrowth of a quarrel over school matters, it Is said. Ortlcera were told that Caddy, while working in the field, was ap proached by Joe Marshall, two of his sons, and Henry Faulkner, and warn ed that they would no longer penult the Reed school to be taught by O. B. Staucil. Gaddy, it is alleged, re plied that he was not a school com miteeman, and therefore had nothing to do with the matter. Marshall, it is related, wanted a negro woman ap pointed teacher. The quartette, after passing a few words with Gaddy, walked off. Marsh all, however, returned a few minutes later and shot Gaddy while he was standing near a hedge. The shots took effect In his face. A double barrell shot gun was the weapon us ed. Marshall claims Gaddy approached him while he was in his Held search ing for a log out of w hich he wanted lo make some piece for his wagon. Caddy, so Marshall claims, approach ed him with a stick, treatening to beat h hn on account of the part he had played in the school controversy. It was then that Marshall Fays he shot him. He was earning his cun, hp says, in the expectation of k il 1 in ? a rabbit for dinner. No others are Implicated In the murder, according to Marshall. Bofh negroes have borne good reuiiintion".

W. Lemmond was In tel rogated daily as to whether or not he would announce his candidacy for the high honor. No one in this sec ' tion knows more unecdotes, and to t lie many quest ions of his friends, he would Invariably reply in the follow ing true Abe Lincoln style: "A farmer once hired a green city man to work for him. The first ev ening after his arrival the farmer sent him to feed the stock, and on his re turn from this simple task, this col loquy took place: "Farmer: 'What did you feed the horses?' "Hired man: 'Hay.' ' Farmer: 'And did they eat It?' "Hired man: 'Yes, sir.' "Farniqr: 'What did you feed the cows?' "Hired man: 'Hay.' "Farmer: 'Did they eat It? "Hired man: 'Yes. sir.' "Farmer: 'What did you feed the geese and chickens?' "Hired man: 'Hay. "Farmer: 'Did they eat it?' "Hired man: 'No, sir. But they were talking about It when I left.' " "So," concluded Mr. Lemmond. "like the geese and chickens I'm talk ing about running." PASSIXGOF A GOOD XI1GRO. David Dooley, a Blacksmith, Was an Asset to the Kntlre South. (From The Charlotte Observer.) The negro race, especially In the South, should And inspiration In the record of David Dooley, of Anderson, S. C a negro blacksmith, who died yesterday. The Associated Press tells In four or five lines the facts that might be elaborated into a volume highly Inspirational to the vounger generation of colored people, i "Humble and highly respectedltl len." Thus he Is briefly descrihed in the press dispatch heralded over sev eral States by wire. But these five words speak volumes. Laboring con tinuously for more than forty years as a blacksmith, Dooley had accumu lated a fortune conservatively esti mated at one hundred thousand dol lars. These facts also speak volumes. Dooley was a negro of the type that Is an asset to the community in which he lives. Negroes of the Dooley type are a big asset to the South. He had character and was Industrious. He attended In his own business and did It well. He caused no trouble or friction or disturbance In his commu nity. He was not of the type of negro ever to cause friction or feeling be tween the races. He was "highly re spected" by the white people of An derson, and we may safely presume that ha was as highly respected by the colored people of his community. And Dooley was rewarded for his work and exemplary conduct. In point of worldly goods he was Inde pendent. He had to ask favors of no man. Not only in point of Influence and character was he an asset to his community, but also In that he was substantial citizen and taxpayer. And we may presume that he was happy and contented. We would not conceive of Dooley becoming dissatis fied with conditions In the South to the extent that he would for a mo ment think seriously of pulling up stakes, turning back on his neighbors and friends, white and colored, and going to the North or elsewhere to live and undertake to better himself among strangers and amidst inhos pitable surroundings. Of course it is not possible for ev ery negro, no matter how exemplary his character, no matter how indus trious and energetic and thrifty he might be, to amass a fortune of one hundred thousand dollars. But the Dooley policy, if adopted by the ne groes of the South generally, would result In thousands of them being Tar better off financially than they are. In the course of a few years. Many of them have demonstrated the tact. Some of them are to be found in almost every Southern community. But. even though the great majority of them may not be able to accumu late a fortune in dollars and cents, most of them can create for them selves a really greater fortune than money, in making of themselves good citizens, worthy of the respect of white and colored. liHYAM OPPOSKS making LKAGUK CAMPAIGN ISSfK He Splits 0ieiily With President Wil son at Jackson Day Dinner Ad vocate Compromise. Washington, Jan. 8. William J. Bryan split openly with President Wilson at the Jackson dinner here to night, on the question of whether the democratic party should make the league of nations an issue at the next election. The tormor secretary of state, three times a candidate for the presidency and a power in his party, declared the democrats could not go before the country on the Issue and that they must accept such compromises as may be possible, President Wil.-son, in his mesage to I he diners, had declared that "the clear and single way out" was to sub mit the issue. Conceding I lie right of the repub lican majority to dictate the senate's course, Mr. Brau declared: "Our plun has been rejected and we must face the situation as it is. We must either secure compromises as may be possible or present the issue to the court. The latter course would mean a delay of at least 14 mouths and then success only in case of our securing a two-thirds majority of the senate. "We cannot afford, either as citi zens or as members of the party to share with the republican parly res ponsibility for further delay. We can not go before the country on the is sue that such an appeal wtfuld pre sent, . . .A majority of congress can declare war. Shall we make it more difficult to conclude n treaty than to enter a war?" WILSON f RGES I.KAGl K ItC MADK ISSfK IX KLUCTIOX The "(ienr and Single" to Determine Hie Will of .'it- People, He Declined III McNNUitC. Washington, Jan. 8. President Wilsonin p. In Message to the Jac! -sou dinner In re tonight said "the clear and slii.,le way" to determine the w III of the American people on the league of nations wa.t to make it an is.-.,. j in t ne ii.-m e. ction. The Preside.it 's n.ivsage said noth ing w ha. ever about a third term for hir.i.iek'. neither did It say even b implication or iii'.mt.tiou that lie would be a candii.-ite, as had been widely forecast. .Most all of the President's message was devoted to an expression of his argument why he considered It the duty of the Unit ed States to Join in the league of na tions covenant and why he considered the war not really won until It did. Another attempt to crush the new na tions of Europe would be made, the President said,' If the United States held aloof. The President again expressed his attitude toward reservations, much as he did at his conference with the senate foreign relations committee, in this language: "If the senate wishes to say what the undoubted meaning of the treaty Is I shall have no objection. There can be no reasonable objection to In terpretations accompanying the act of tatillcatlon itself. But when the trea ty is acted upon I must know whether it means that we have ratified or re jected It. We cannot rewrite this treaty. We must take It without changes which alter its meaning or leave 11 and then, after the rest of the world has signed It, we must face the unthinkable task of making another and separate kind of treaty with Germany."

The Gem is making prepara tions to get the new garage in shape to open for business. Mr. W". G. Hearon has sold his bungalow In South Marshville to Mr. R. L. Griffin. Mr. F. O. Caudle and family have moved to their farm In Anson county. We regret to lose these good citistens. Dr. E. S.

Miss Sallie Harrell has returned from Charlotte where she has been for several mouths with her staler, Mrs. Plunimer Stewart, and also tak ing treatment at the Presbyterian hospltnl.

She was in the of fice of the United Cash Store with Miss Long who is employed there as assistant book-keeper. Miss Harris reached across the office enclosure to shake hands with a friend. When ulie withdrew her hand the point of an of lice file was found to be em bedded In her arm. Medical aid was -nmmoned and it Is hoped no serious r suits will develop. Miss Harris Is a eery attractive and popular young ladv and has many friends here who regretted to hear of her painful ac cident. We have often been reminded of the hrnum propensity to envy tTie ciher I'cMow his easy place, but right at present v.e don't believe anyone would ca.e to exchange places with the good roads folks. It really be uins to look as If they must get busy at something answering questions if not Improving roads. The road from Marshville to the Anson county line has already been surveyed and was pronounced' one or the best road beds In the State, which means that very little work would be required to put It In shape. At one time everything was in readiness here to put the road through, but then someone said "wait a minute" That was two years or more ago, and we have. been walling every since. However, If the present bombardment of criticism continues we look for good roads soon. Mrs. Tom Marsh of Gilboa died Wednesday ' afternoon after several days Illness which developed Into pneumonia.

Plyler. agent for the f nion County Cotton Associa tion, has received a total of nearly 18.000 in subscriptions for stock to th t.OOO-bale capacity warehouse to be erected at Mouroe. The generous response he has secured convinces Mr. Plyler of the eventual success of the movement. The warehouse plan ned for Monroe will cost $60,000. The capacity will be from 6,000 to 8,000 bales. Slate warehouse officials are quot ed as saying the warehouse stork will pair JO per cent. Promoters of the lo cal warehouse have figured that it wpl return 13 per cent, basing their figures on half capacity, and allowing a liberal expenditure for all necessary expenses. They stand almost ready to guarantee a ten per cent dividend. Two Brother Are In the Same Hos pital With Broken 1-cgs. Mr. O. D. Davis of West Crowed street, who Is In the employ of the Seaboard Air Line, had his leg broken and was painfully bruised while switching cars at Rockingham on Tuesday morning. The ground was very slick and covered with Ice from the overflow of the tank at that place, and he had to break the long Icicles oft the tank several times. In getting up on the engine he fell and his leg was caught In the wheel, wrenched over and broken Just above the ankle. Luckily the engine was going very slowly and was stopped before fur ther Injury was done him. He was removed to Dr. James hospital at Hamlet and the leg set. It Is a curious coincidence that his brother. Bernard, Is in the same hos pital with a broken and lacerated leg due to the explosion of a saw mill en gine near Wadesboro some time ago. Both brothers are getting along very well. A grinding mill of W'lmltiptnn. Del., blew tip Jan. 2, killing five workmen and injuring oun.

Extracts from his letter read: "I am writing you once more in regard to condemning some buildings in the lire limits. The buildings are getting very rotten, and dangerous of fire. "Some of the parlies that the build ings belong to have put the matter Into the hands of their lawyers. They claim that they haven't any place to more into, and that they cannot build as they cannot pet material with which to build. ''I suppose some of the parties have spoken about getting out a pe tition to let these old buildings stand for the present. hope you will gland by me on this, as I think I am doing my duty. The majority of the citizens of Mon roe are with me In this matter. As (he parties are able to build, it will be a credit to our town to force them to remove those old buildings." New Ileitis From Stalling. Stalling, Jan. 8. 'Miss Lura Har key has returned to Danville, Va., af ter spending the holidays with her parents here. Mr. T. T. Thompson und family, who had the misfortune to have their home burned down some time ago, !mve gone to Charlotte, where they will make their home, temporarily. Miss Katherine McLeod Is spend ing the week in Charlotte with her sister, Mrs. R. M. Kids. Mrs. S. A. Noles is visiting Mrs. Booth In Charlotte. Miss Carrie Gannon has returned to the village after spending the week-end In Concord with friends. Several nights ago Rev. Atkis Kidge received a severe "pounding" by the member of the different churches of this charge. Flour, meat, potatoes, lard, meal, lice, coffee, sugar and oilier eats were used by the pounders. On account of the bad weather and lack or building material work on our new church is moving rather slow at present. 1 However, we hope that this will not last long and Just as soon as the sun starts shining ugaiu work will speed up. Now that it is so cold that Miss Lizzie absolutely refuses to move In the morning without a hot water bath, and everything from the well to the sun Is frozen stiff we hope that before the freeze is over the Hon. Senator Lodge's reserve supply of hot air will freeze up so tight that It will be the middle of next August before it thaws. Uh-Huh.

I have read that the coal strike Is over the sixth time and I guess when I pick up my pp-or ani see that It Is ended fix-more times It '!' h- over. I had two weeks expe ! M;ie in a coal mine town once and had a chance to discuss and find out a lot about coal, how it is mined, etc., and I must say I had no sympathy with the mine owners iu the strike. Wheu coal was first being mined in this country very little labor other wise than American could tie secured and of course it demanded certain prices. The mine owners got their heads together and decided to use foreign labor and so they did. They could beat him out of his wages, kick him, cuss him, starve him. and work him. Ail American labor quit, for it was impossible for them to compete with this cheese and cracker crowd, and he has stayed quit, for less than five per cent are American born at present. Finally the "wops" got to getting their heads together between shirts and Unionized to the limit, and the union has grown stronger and stronger, and has made demands and the mine owners have made conces sions until the mine owners are men aced. If they raise the price of coal the miners demand more pay and the public kirks at it. And that bunch of helpless slag that they shipped from Europe has grown and grown until they are not only clutching at the throat of the mine owners but almost all of us. And so it is. California shipped in Japs until the Japs almost took them, and so we have the "Yellow Peril." Mexico is a "Tempest Teapot." so we have a Mexican menace. In the North and East we have the Foreign Menace, and the "Reds" are raising cain on the in side. So home labor is the cheapest at any price. "America for Ameri cans." C. E. Hiiison. MO.MiOK POULTRY SHOW Some of the Highest Scoring Birds Kver Seen ut Exhibit .V Very Com. H-leul Judge. The Monroe Poultry Association held lis annual show beginning on Wednesday in the Secrest garage. Ow ing lo the wry bad weather the en tries were not so many as usual. Judge E. T. Jacobs of Columbus, O., a judge of national reputation, was on hand and staled that he had never been at a show w hich had such an av erage high score anions the entries. The lowest score of any bird in the show was 87, the highest 06, which was twice scored, once by a White Wyandotte cockerel of Mr. Harrell's the noted breeder of Elleuboro, and once by Mr. T. P. Dillon with a very classy Buff Orpington pullet. Mr. T. J. W. Brooau had a fine lot of Reds on hand and Mr. J. Walter Griffin had a very even and high scoring lot of single comb Brown Leghorns. The Brown China geese were a fine lot exhibited by Mr. Clingnian Griffin, and were promptly sold, as were all the Brown Leghorns, at an excellent price. The garage made an excellent show room, and (here Is no doubt that the Poultry Association will have n well patronized show next year, and more birds in number. Birds of a higher class could scarcely be gotten togeth er. The Association wishes its thanks expressed to Mr. Secrest for the use of the garage. He moved all his nu tomobiles out, thus giving ample space for the show. The prize winners were as follows: Best pen in show, Buff Orpingtons, T. P. Dillon, 1 5.00. Largest exhibit, 18 birds. T. P.

The manner in which Solictor W. E. Brock Is beating the bushes in his campaign for Congress leads many Monroe people to believe that he has some inside information on the poli tical situation. They figure. Inasmuch as they are both from the same town, that Mr. Brock has received assur ances that Mr. Robinson will retire from public life. This Is only a con jecture, however. Several Monroe politicians have received letters from Mr. Robinson stating that he planned to make an announcement very short ly. In these letters Mr. Robinson de clared he had not yet fully made up his mind to retire from Congress. That Mr. Brock is an active can didate is evidence from the follow ing dispatch from Wadesboro to The Raleigh News and Observer: "Hon, Waller E. Brock, the able and aggressive solicitor of this Judi cial district, has announced himself as a candidate for Congress n the event of the retirement of Hon. L. D. Robinson, the present incumbent, who has expressed a disinclination to return after the expiration of this term. 'Solicitor Brock has made one of the best rojiriiors in the State and has shown ' hi'self equal to every oc casion I ha? lu's arisen in his district. He is a nuMi of action and of courage and can ah- vs be depended upon to stand in the I vine line.

CREDIT FOR PKACK TREATY GIYEX lilt YAM BY DAXIELM Xavy Secretin-)' Says Commoner's Ac bitrai-y Treaties LmJiI the Founda tion for the Pact. William Jennings Bryan was given credit by Secretary Daniels, speaking at the Jackson day banquet in Wash ington last night, for laying the foun dation of the League of Nations cov enant through the arbitration treaties negotiated by him as Secretary of State. In view of published reports that the three-times nominee of the Dem ocrats for the Presidency again as pires to lead the party in a campaign, Mr. Daniels' statement created one of the most interesting moments of the dinner. The naval secretary's ad dress had proceeded without special incident with applause for recital of democratic achievements and ripples of amusement at the vigorous sallies at the opposition, until he began to discuss the war and its results. "The Declaration tof Independ ence! and the Covenant (of the League of Nations.") the secretary said, are the two living light foun tains of liberty and peace. It is the glory of the Democratic party that through Joffers' ,i and Wilson we have given Ihef saTe charts for all time for safe navigation tfpon all seas. "Just as surely as Jefferson's Declaration and Lincoln's Emancipa tion glorify American statesmanship, the Covenant 'will yet bring free na tions into such accord that reason and not force will rule among the nations as among individuals. A long step toward this Ideal was reached In the celebrated and beneficent Bryan treaties, which Germany, alone of Eu ropean nations, refused and forecast ed Its action In 1914 in precipitating the war. The principles and spirit of the Bryan treaties expanded and enlarged are embodied In the Treaty of Peace. A Goldsboro woman was relieved of money and Jewelrv valued at $300 by two unknown white men near the union passenger station of that city Saturday.
