Tonawanda property can be secured jr Griffin says there are more vir for the fair grounds.

It has been ascertained that Mr. Shute r.n la Kb nrp vailed UDon to build additional room for cattle, stock, hogs and poultry. The Shute property furnishes an ideal location and accomodation for a fair and the county is fortunate in having access to such conveniences, the use of which it is believed may be had for a reasonable sum of money. Several other citizens nave unea up his opinion that the railroads cannot with Mr. Woodson, among whom are replace the men that are on a strike Messrs. T. P.

It is also proposed to mane ha fair in annual event. Agricultural fairs on a limited scale have been held in different sections of the county from time to time with markorf success. With the large num ber of fine mules and horses, beau tiful Jersey and Guernsey and other breeds ol blooded cauie, line speci mens of the leading breeds of hogs, j ShmnKhire sheen and the various breeds of pure-blood poultry, the agi tators are confident that Union can put on as good and successful fair as any other county in the state. Mr. U'nnrfson savs Union produces some of the finest canned fruit and vege tables he has ever seen and that this will help out greatly in tne exnious. Practically everybody seems to be of the opinion that since Union coun ty has taken a place at the top of the counties in the state in agricul ture and live stock and poultry rais ing the time is ripe lor an annual county fair and unless tne present prospects fail, Union will have one of the best agricultural fairs in North Carolina.

Griffin, who left this county about fifteen years ago to make his home in Cuthbert, Ga., has returned to North Carolina and de clares that he will spend the remain headquarters at Hamlet and is among the snopmen aneetea by the strike. He says the shopmen have stood for two cuts in wages and will not stand f, the third. "If thev had cut trans portation charges," he continued, "we would have stood for another cut in wages, but it is not right for the roads to cut only our department." Mr. Griffin declares that they are go ing to stand pat and wait, and that they will not go back to work until they win. He says he was in Hamlet when the strike order was received and that everything is quiet. It is fin gaid the boll weevils m Southwest ern Georgia are as thick as gnats, and that it is the greatest cotton section he has ever seen, that it grows about three feet high in rows seven and a half feet apart and is so thick that it is impossible to spray it, and that the only thing they can do is to just let the weevils eat it up. He doesn't be- Heve the cotton in that section will produce fifty pounds to the acre. Mr, Griffin also states that the weevils are attacking the velvet beans, pea vines, watermelon vines and cabbage.

Mr. Williams Is a Pleased Man Yesterday was the 67th birthday of Mr. Henry Frank Williams of Win gate. Perhaps the old gentleman hadn t thought of it until about six o'clock in the afternoon when his chil dren and grandchildren and in-laws began arriving on the scene with baskets filled to overflowing with good things to eat, including ice cream and cake. The families of Messrs. Henry Myers, Luther Williams, Ihomas Brewer, Ellerbe Williams, and Mrs. Julia William!) and Mrs. T. C. Horton gathered and Mr. Williams was so overwhelmed with ioy and surprise that he forgot to feed the chickens and milk the cows. There were thirty-three of the visitors and they had everything imaginable provided for a sumptuous supper, even to the dishes in which to serve it. After a most pleasant evening in which splendid music was provided the happy party Lroke up by singing "Gon be with you till we meet again." Mr. Henry Frank Williams is one of Union coun ty's most upright citizens and he has hosts of friends who will read with interest this account of the happy oc casion. Some one asked Mr. Williams if hi would like to have a chance of living his life over again, especially hs farming experience. He said he would not. He said that he was sat isfied at having been born at the time he was. He had made love to four women and married them all and was satisfied with the order in which they came, but would not care to go over his life again. He is now happy, has been reasonably happy all his life, and was satisfied with the living of life. Is Dad's Home-Coming a Happy One? Mother, when Dad steps inside the door, at the end of his day's work, do not start immediately to tell him of annoying things done by the children during the day. Let Dad's home-coming be a happy one for him and the kiddies. Later in the evening, if there is something about the children which he should know, tell him about it but do not arouse him to anger and drive away his home-coming happiness by a demand that he give Susie a talking to, or Jimmie a strapping. These are disagreeable things for him to do, and probably he has had many disagreeable things to perform during his work-a-day effort and when he reaches home he feels that he should be free to enjoy a needed rest. A man's home coming should be as cheerful as possible. Home should be a tonic to help a man to get through the next day of labor and do it well. Besides, a tired man, annoyed by oth er things all day, is apt to be unjust and perhaps cruel to his children, if called upon to chastise them as soon as he reaches home. For your husband's sake, for the children's sake, to make home happier for all of you greet him with a smile. Exchange. Little Jane had long wanted a baby sister, and one day she came rushing home in high excitement. "Oh, mother, come quickly!" she exclaimed. "There are splendid bar gains in babies and you can get one while they are cheap." "What in the world do you mean, dear?" the mother asked in astonish ment. "Somebody must have been playing a joke on you." "Truly, truly!" the little girl de clared, jumping up and down in her eagerness. ''Great big sign about it on top of the picture palace.

Durham, WILmmi ajid ItiK'kinghani HELD REAIHNKSS SI l'l'KKSS AV DIMMtDLK TARl.Mi I'LACK ernor MorrLMn Declare That Dim Tiler All section, of l lie Stato .Mum l'eae at Once. This morning tour companies of state troops had been drawn from their encampment at Morehead City and stationed at Raleigh, Durham. Wilson and Rockingham by Gover nor Morrison, who announces that he will hold them in readiness to suppress any disorder that may take place at the centers of the railroad strike at Rocky Mount, where the coast line shops are located, and at Hamlet and Raleigh. Disorders broke out at Rocky Mount the last of the week. Nine guards, or special agents railroad police which had been sent to Rocky Mount, were bundled up by strikers and sent away. Judge Con ner of the United States district court issued an injunction against any fur ther violence at that place. The town of Rocky Mount sits straddle of the Ldgecomb and Nash county lines. The ' sheriffs of these two counties and the mayor of the town appealed to Governor Morrison to send troops there to guard work. This the gov ernor refused to do, saying that he would wait to see if peace were re stored in consequence of the injunc tion of the federal court. The governor announced, however, that he had ordered the four compa nies of troops to be in readiness to suppress any disorder that might break out anywhere in the state, es pecially it la understood, with an jeye on Hamlet, Rocky Mount and I Raleigh. In winding up his procla mation the governor said: "There are disorders elsewhete in the state Incident to the strike. They must cease, regardless of reasons of fered for such lawless conditions. I shall use every power the state pos sesses to restore order and to keep .the peace everywhere within the 'state. I warn those who are engag ed in this lawlessness and threats of violence that they cannot prevail lagatntft organized society, and that lit they do not at once come to order ; and conduct their cause with argu ment rather than with, menace, threats and violence, I shall throw ! all the military power of this state against them without further delay. No Signs of Peace In the meantime, there are no signs throughout the country of a cessation of the strike. ' The shop men's representatives claim that it is succeeding. Certainly the opera tion of trains is becoming more and more crippled. The situation ail about the country seems to be about what it U in North Carolina. Thre are small outbreaks of violence, due. it is claimed, to the hot heads, and not at all countenanced by the lead ers of the workmen. In Georgia and other states the governors are doing nliout what the governor of this statrt Is doing, that is, holding troops in j readiness to suppress violence. Ev- erywnere me men leet very deeply I hat I lie federal labor board has been stacked against them. There are nine members of this board. Three of them are supposed to represent the r-jilroads, three the public, and three the workmen. This amounts, by reason of the partiality shown in t!ie appointment of the three repre seniliii.' the public, that six men rep resent the railroads in actual effort, in the opinion of the men. Tne say Hint the railroads have violated the li.structlnpg of the board In 104 specific cases, yet now they claim to be v :y law abiding, and profess to b? o itraged that the shopmen will not submit to the order of the hoard reducing their wages and upsetting working conditions. The demands of the rrrking men are thus sum marized: The Five PenuuiilN The five demands of the shopmen were announced as the restoration of all seniority rights to strikers. Im mediate establishment of a national adjustment board so that the mm may obtain quicker action on local grievances than is possible through the labor board, the abolishment of outside contracting by the roads, the restoration of certain rules and working agreements, and a return to the scale of wages In effect before the cut ordered by the labor board for July 1 became effective simulta neously with the strike. Sensation Over Lost Bahy There was quite a sensation in Mon roe yesterday when superintendent of the Seaboard at Hamlet wired offi cers here to search train No. 5 for a missing baby. It was claimed by a lady in Hamlet, whose home is in Atlanta, that she had lost her baby on the train in Hamlet and she re mained in that town in search for the missing child but could not find it, and consequently came up to Mon roe on the next train still claiming that she had lost her baby and care fully examined all the babies on the train but hers could not be located. Officers who handled the case believe the woman was craz and that she had no baby to loose. However, the episode was a most interesting sr1 heart-rending one until a decision was reached as to the ctuse, and officers certainly had something on hand to entertain them. Women who pay mcome taxes in New York number nearly 150,000. TERRACE WORK TO BE DEMONSTRATED AT BRIEF State Agent and Mr. Broom Will Show How It Is Done Local Items of Interest Brief, July 17. Prof, and Mrs. Raymond Hough of Silver, N. C, spent several days visiting relatives and friends in this section recently. Prof. Hough is principal of the high school at Silver. Master Lawrence Linley Hartsell of Charlotte is spending the summer with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Hartsell. Mr. Rufus Tarlton has been very very sick for the last few days but is now improving rapidly. Rev. R. W. Parks of Winnsboro, S. C, will preach at the school house here every 2nd and 4th Sundays dur ing his vacation from the Columbia Seminary, Columbia, S. C. There will be a farm terrace dem onstration on Mrs. Cancie Biggers farm to which all farmers of this sec tion are invited. The work will be in charge of county demonstration agent, T. J. W. Broom, in cooperation with a state agent. Terraces will be laid off and some will be finished, which is to teach the farmers how this important work should be done. Owing to the recent heavy rains which caused heavy damage to farm lands and crops through here, it is thought that this demonstration will furnish a very valuable lesson. Wheth er you own a farm or not, this is worth your consideration. The date will be announced later. Something special to be pulled off at the base ball grounds next Satur day. All who are interested in athle tics are requested to come. For the benefit of readers who do not take the Progressive farmer, I quote from an editorial, "States with Good Schools earn $1031 per family; states without, $286." Of last week's issue, the following: "A lack of edu cation is the cause of most of the South's peculiar troubles. There is a close relationship blood kinship, in fact between ignorance and poverty. They accompany each other; in fact, walk the earth hand in hand." In the second paragraph the writer continues: "Education enables a man to think straight. Its purpose is not so much to fill the mind with facts and figures to be remembered and us ed in after life, as it is to train the mind to take a given set of facts or conditions, reason accurately from them as a basis, and arrive at a logi cal conclusion." Then in this same editorial is given statistics complied by the United States Bureau of Education showing wherein states with poor schools which is a result of a small expendi ture per capita the annual income per capita is considerably smaller than in states with more liberal invest ments in education. Integrity (Youth's Companion) The word in its original sense means wholeness; disintegration is the breaking up of the whole into its elements. When we speak of a man of integrity we mean that he is a man who has maintained his whole ness of character and who can be counted or. not to part with any of its elements or principles for any con sideration. Shakespeare's line, "To thine own self be true," is an exhor tation to preserve integrity. If you betray any part of yourself, you lose cur integrity. If you descend to meanness or trickery in order to ob tain a personal advantage, you lose it. If through motives of self-interest or vanity ycu resort to pretense, you lose it. Failure to be industrious and to mak the most of your happiness is fai ure to maintain your integrity. An dent man may be honest, but his inc1 dence robs him of his integrity. Can a man who is conscious of some loss of integrity regain what he has lost? Surely it must be possible to heal wounds to the character as well as wounds to the body. But the heal ing process fn either case requires surgical treatment and the utmost core to guard against further infec tion. And there is a limit to the power of the body to resist injuries and in fections, so there is a limit to the power of character to renew itself after a succession of weakening and disintegrating attacks upon it. The person who wants to keep his integ rity had better not be always mak ing small compromises with himself. Repented For a week Mr. Plankley had pos sessed his secret in silence, starting at every sound and catching his breath at every shadow. Y'et he told himself he was quite safe and no one kr.ew of his guilt but himself. He had thought it all out how h? would act and what he would say. Y'et when the first breath of suspicion was directed toward him he started and turned pale, and all the defense which he had so elaborately con structed fell to the ground when his wife turned her questioning eyes on him and said: "John, did you post that letter to mother that I gave you last week?". "Yes." "Well, she never received it." "Yes er perhaps it was lost In the mail." "That must be it," mused his wife. "I wrote to mother to postpone her visit for a few months, and I nave just received a letter saying that we might expert her to-day." Oi'.c alone, the poor man prayed that the house might fall upon him and crush him. Always drop some money in the collection plate. The change will do the preacher good.
