G, Tuesday, October 24, 1922. $2.00 Per Year Cash II II -J Charlie Iceman Is the Henrv Ford of the Piedmont Section HE IS A BUSINESS MAN WITH AN IMAGINATION Predicts That Just As Likely As Not He'll Turn Creamery Back to Own crs After Tutting It on Its Feet WHEN A COTTON MILL GOES LAME THEY SEND FOR ICEMAN Reared in a Cotton Mill. He knows All Ends of the Game, Production, Buy. ing. Selling and Everything Else; Loves to Dash in and Do Something , That Is Hard. j BY R. F. BEASLEY Goldsboro, Oct. 22. Charles lee man, the wizzard cotton mill man of North ami South Carolina, living at Monroe, is going to run a creameiy! He is already running three or four cotton and knitting mills, and is tn Henry Ford of that section. Whti a cotton mill goes lame they send for Iceman to come and put it un its feet. Will he succeed with .1 cieimay? You bet he will. -He suceeedH with anything. -Henry Ford clots not know more about making Fords than Chas Iceman knows .about .-ottori mills. And if Henry could pL'k up a decrepit railroad and makj it pay we'll gamble that Iceman can make a creamery pay after everybody else has failed. Running a creamery in s cotton county is no child's play and no busi ness man accustomed i ret in a large way would bother with it except a man like Iceman. Iceman is a busi ness man with an imagination. Hs came up in the mill business from the spindles and there is not a detail of machinery, of spinning and knitting, of selling the products or buying the raw material, that he does not know to a gnat's heel. But he has more than knowledge and business experience; he has the salt of life, imagination. It keeps business from getting mo notonous and success stale. He loves to dash in and do something that is hard, that requires variety, that drives away dullness, that brings out latent talent. He is goi'itf to run a creamery, mark that. The other" day'at' Monroe the stockholders of the creamery which has been limping along for many years, met in the chamber of commerce and sent for Iceman they just love to send for Iceman down there and told him that something had to be done about the creamery. It couldn't stop, for the boll weevil was there; and it couldn't go on be cause it was in debt and was about to be shut down by creditors. Ten thousand dollars was necessary to meet bills and then soni3 operating money was necessary. The stockhol ders had been nursing it along for many years as a kind of public enter prise and had tome to the end of their row. Somebody had to do something about the creamery. "All right, boys," said Iceman in that quick, snappy way of his, after the matter had been laid before him, "If I nm to pay the debts and guaran tee t.) run the creamery right on. what are you going to let me have j p your stocK tor : "Twenty-five per cent of face val ue," they said, and when Iceman agreed to take it and pay the money one can fancy that there was a quick divestment of all the stock held by those present. So Iceman has the creamery and is going to run it and make it pay. He is go.ng to do what the stockholders were never able to do get a man who knows Ihe business, pay him a real salary if he earns it and ship him if he doesn't, and put enough capital in to operate on. And that is the way one large bus iness man is going to do his bit with th boll weevil situation, for Iceman doesn't care a hang about th money he is going to make with the cream ery, he just loves to turn a trick like that. It w 11 be just like him to let the old stockholders have that creamery back at the same tvfenty five cents on the dollar after he has changed it from a whitJ elephant in to a dividend paying concern. Sheriff Gels Big Liquor Hall A t'p, and the "intervention of the Lord," to use the picturesque lan guage of Sheriff Clifford Fowler, lan ded Emsley Gurley and his eleven-year-old son, George Gurley, into the toils of the law Saturday evening. They were caught just this side of Rocky River with eleven 'gallons of Stanly corn. Sheriff Fowler . has been suspect ing Gurley of handling liquor for some time and had "spotters out for him on both sides of the river. Late Saturday he received a long-distance call from Stanly stating that Qurley was en route to Monroe with a load of booie. The Sheriff, with Deputy Sheriff Paul Griffith and Mr. Grady Green of Stanly, started down the Morgan Mill road in quest of their man, but on account of the delav in gett ng their telephone message, fear ed that Gurley had managed to get home. Here it was that the Lord, said Mr. Fowler, interevened. Gur ley 'g car had broken down at the riv er, and the officers foand father and ion walking towards Mon roe in search of some one, it was said, to transport their load the rest of the distance to Monroe. They were promptly placed under arrest Search revealed the 11 gallons hid in thej vicinity oC the stalled car. i BRIEF IS ENTHUSIASTIC OVER ITS SCHOOL TRUCK In the Main. Students nd Patrons Are Overjoyed at the Bigger Op portunities School Offers Brief, Oct. 23. Most of the patrons were" present tt the meeting held Friday at the Fchool house fir the purpose of lining up for the opening today. Much interest in the school a good sign right from the beginning. The truck has be?n purchased and will be put i: use this week. It is not known just how many students will start with this new opportunity, but it is believed there will be a big load within the first few weeks. So greatly appreciative ar-we of the opportun:ties the school truck is going to bring to our children, that expression is powerless. 0'ir children are so highly elated over it that we hear the eniall boys and girls saying among themselves, "I am going to study harder than ever, make my grade as quick as possible I know now that I have a chance to get a high school education." How wonderful to hear ambitious youth express for itself such a spirit of appreciation and enthusiasm. As in all other things, the patrons are naturally divided in opinion as to the pract cability of the new plan, but every new thin, when introduced in'o n community. !s accorded th's kind of reception. The stock law, for instance, is a great benefit to the farmer. It wa4 hotly opposed, btin2 put over under great difficulty. N;w who would question its vab'e to ti e farmer? It is also very evu'ent tha' those who fire opposed to th- truck are always hichly in favor of doing the'r bit to';d getting for the chil dren o' their community better "du catior.al advaniages, but the dirT,r cpcp in opoinion is largely a mat r a to what methods.

Charlotte won rJ to t. But the game was much tetter and the teams were more even ly matched than the score indicates. The people who witnessed the game will admit that the Monroe team was as good and sometimes showed even better form than the Charlotte team Beforethe first quarter of the game had ended the score was 7 to 6 in favor of the local team. It was then that Charlotte began to receive the breaKS of the game. For when Mon ro .tried a forward pass it was un expectetily intercepted by Norris, a Char.otts back, who ran 35 yards or to within 10 yards of Monroe's own j,'.al I re. After several atiempts Schil z finr.lly succeeded in crossing the Lne. They missel the 'try for point" when an attempted dropkick was grounded. And so instead of 1 to 0 in favor of the wearers of the purple and gold, the half ended 12 to 7 with the Monroe team on the small end of the score. At the beginning of the last half the Monroe team went in determin ed t ) win. They received the kick-off and steadily moved the ball toward Charlotte's goal. It was Monroe's ball on Charlotte's 30 yard line. Mack Fatrley was called back. Everyone knew that a drop kick was to be attempted. But there was no luck with the local team. And, although the kicker got off a beautiful kick, it missed the crossbars by barely a foot In the third quarter both teams exchanged punts. But in the final per.oa inariotte cincnea tne game when Ser.iltz received the ball on a delayed forward pass from Wilson at-.d ran o5 yards for a touchdown. Graded S.'hool Auditorium Thursday Night- On Thursday, October 20th, the r.ed.mth Lyceum Bureau will nresent the Grasjtfan Marimba- Xylophone Company, the second number of the Lyceum course book ed by the local tnautaunua Company. The musical talents of three gifted sisters, the Misses Grasjean, form tl-.e nucleus of the Grosjean Mirambo Xylophone Company. Each of these three sisters is a vocalist and instru mentalist, and Miss Floss Grosjean is. in a iid. t on, - a - thoroughly amusing cnaracter interpreter. Completing the perfect ensemble of tne company are Henry Jensen, Bari tone, and Chester Painter, tenor, both being also instrumentalists. Their addition to the organization makes it a vocal and orchestral novelty compa ny of interest to every type of audi ence. A particularly entertaining and un usual feature of the Grosjean program is the use of the Marimba-Xylophone for purely instrumental selections and al.n for vocal ensemble accompani ment. This instrument combines the b-.'st qualities of both the marimba pi:one and xylophone and is capable of rendering every type of orchestral music from overtures to popular songs and hullaiui. Saxophone, arums, and pianj contribute delightfully to the program. Miss !-'!o;'3 Crosjtan, feature artist of the C'jmpany, is one of the most a..iusing impoi-jonative entertainers before tht public. Her character sketches range from a young girl with oratorical ambitions to a tremb ling old lady. Her del.neation of many varied characters has built for Miss Grosjean nn ever growinj popu larity with her audience. The entire personel of the Grosjean Company is thoroughly experienced in tne musical entertainment field. For the last few seasons the company has pleased audiences in every part of the country. Their program has prov ed to bs universally popular in com munities of every size. The extremely low prices of tickets for the Lyceum Course brings this form of entertainment within the means of everyone and the Monroe Chautauqua Company who booked this course deserve great credit in br.r.ging these attractions to our city. All the numbers of the course will be presented at the High School audi torium which seats seven hundred people and officials of the Chautauqua Company are expecting to hang out the "standing room only" sign on next Thursday night. Tickets for this and other numbers of the course may be obta;ned at the Union Drug Store, The V.'. J. Rtidge Co., or from any High School student. Single admissions for this attraction will be 75c for adults and 35c .for children and tickets for the balance of the course will be priced according ly S-rious Accident on Charlotte Road Mr. W. L. Simpson and his son, Mr. Bunyan Simpson, of West Mon roe township, had a narrow escape from serious injury on the Charlotte road Sunday night when a Ford ran into their buggy. Mr. Simpson had started to Monroe to attend church services. When he saw the lights of the approaching car he turned out to the side of the road, but the driver of the car, it seems, didn't pull to the other side far enough with the result that h crashed into Mr. Simpson s buggy. The two occupants were thrown out of the vehicle, and young Bunyan got tangled in the lines and was dragged some distance before the mule could be stopped. Both were badly cut and bruised. The driver failed to stop, speeding up his car after it had righted iMe'f. The buggy was almost com Diets : J...;o.-. ! ished. READING APPOINTMENTS CLOSES & E.

There were no services at the Baptist church Sunday n:ght, the Baptist going over to the Methodist church to hear Rev. J. W. -Moore of Statesville, who preached to possibly the largest congregation ever assembled in the Methodist church for service of this kind. An aeroplane took the people here by surprise- today by flying over Win Kate and then landing in a field of Mr. Jim Chaney's on the outside of the town. Just how long the aero plane will be here is not known, al though it is said it will be here a day or two. Mr. J. C. Mclntyre, who lives about a mile from Wingate. had on exhibit here a few days ago a "human face" potato. The eyes and mouth can be seen VL-ry distinctly.

D. Heath Estate to Settle Large Claim y The Bank of Union, through its at torneys, Messrs. Stack, Parker Si Craig, J. C. Sikes and W. B. Love, yesterday began action in the Su perior court to force the executors of the will of the late ii. D. Heath to pav claims aggregating about $30,l)')0 against Messrs. W. J. Heath and G.lbert Heath, two of the benefi ciaries. A big array of counsel, in cluding Messrs. E. T. Cansler of Charlotte and H. B. Adams of Wax haw is appearing for the excutors of the estate and Messrs. W. J. and Gil bert Heath and the case promises to be one of the hardest-fought actions that has appeared in the Union coun ty Superior court in years. A appeal to the Supreme court is certain. The ela.m is against the Heath Cotton Company, of which Messrs. W. J. and Gilbert Heath were the chief backers. Lnder the will of the late B. D. Heath ihese gentlemen, who are brothers, inherit around $100,000 each, and the Bank of Un ion is seeking to force the executors, Messrs. W. H. Twitty, II. B. Heath, W. F. Jo!mon and others to turn over to the Heath Brothers the bal ance of their inheritance, roughly estimated at about $1(50.000 for the two, so they can collect their claim. The executors contend that under the will they are not required to turn over the money to the heirs unless their judgment dictates, while the ,"!a'ntitf contends that if such a sec 'on of the will gives them this pow , r it is invalid because of conflict with corporaCon statutes. At present Judge Long is hearing various motions on the case, and af ter placing an interpretation on the will, will probably al'ow the jury to pass upon the facts. The jury for this term of court is composed of the "ollowing: W. M. Howie, Route 4, Waxhaw; W. C. Crowell, Monroe; J. J. Harkcy, Route 2, Waxhaw; J. Albert Medlin, Route 7, Monroe; W. J. Austin, Route 1, Wingate; C. C. Griffin, Route 1, Marshv lie; R. J Simpson, Indian Trail; Green Whitley, Monroe; S. B. Braswell, Route 2, Unionville; J. C. Allen, RouVe 5, Marshville; V. S. Hunter.

Here From Georgia. Many Union county people have settled in Coffee county, Ga. Mr. W. B. McRorie of Jackson townshin, who went there six years ago, is visiting with his entire family in this sec tion. He spent Monday night with his brother, Mr. J. W. McRor.e, in Mon roe. He is in the boll weevil section and tells some of the experiences of the farmers there. He says that they have learned to make plenty of other things beside cotton but are having some difficulty in marketing other products. About half a crop of cotton was made this year. There was the usual financial crash when the boll weevil came, but they are slowly gett ng over this and will even unlly be in a better position than vi. when they get accustomed to changed farming and changed con ditions. He says there are just worlds of food products in Georgia now. I Irs. Estridge is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Estridge of Jackson township. HAMMER SPEAKS TO THE DEMOCRATSOF WAKHAW Seventh District Congressman Ham mers the Republican Party For Many Extravagances PROVES THAT JACKSON WAS BORN IN NORTH CADOLINA Quoting From CoL Walkup'a Manu script and Other Authorities, He Ridicules the Contention of Con gre.sman Stevenson That Old Hick ory Saw the First Light of Day in SutS Carolina Waxhaw. Oct. 23. Congressman W. C. Himmer hammered the Re publicans for their extravagance, praised the state taxation system and proved to the satisfaction of the world generally that Andrew Jack son was born in North Carolina in a rousing spe."h delivered here tonight .n the Kv.o "I:eatre. An unustiily hard rain kept hun dreds of f. -Iks away, including Esq. Henry McWhorter, the Jackson war horse, but there was a good audience to hear tl'.e sventh district congress man in spire of the inclemency of the weather. Mr. Hammer was introduced by Major W. C. Heath, one of the cem oeratic ea-..i daU's for the state sen ate. Major H.atn went after the re publicans in a v..y that hrought smiles to ti: ? face of the 280-pound statesman .'.-am Randolph. After wards Mr. Hammer explained that Major Heath .naJc the kind of dem ocrat:c snetch that he personally wasn't able to deliver on all occa sions because the size of the repub lican vote in his part of the district demanded a little soft-soaping. "We have to plead with them to forsake the paths of unrighteousness," he said, "rather than use scolding lan guage if we hope to gain converts." The democratic district standard bearer divided his speech between rid iculing Corgressman's Stevenson's contention that Jackson was born in South Carolina and a discussion t state matters. Relative to the form er, he quoted extensively from Col. Walkup's famous manuscript and the riatres of famous historians, espe cially Parton. He exhibited a grasp of the ques;ion that showed tne re sult of extensive investigation and study. Among his many papers bearing on the controversy is a map drawn by Mr. T. V. Secrest, county survey or i n 8 r.ap, ,ur. Hammer aiaiea, would be inserted in the Congression al Record when he secures the oppor tunity to reply to Mr. Stevenson on the floor of the senate. Mr. Hammer came out flat-footedly in favor of leasing Muse!" Shonls to Henry FerJ. Ivlaior Heuth, in his in troduction, declared that Mr. Ham mer's speeth in congress on this ques tion, was the best of all those on Muscle Smals that he hal read. "1 have assurances," the paki'i" said, that Mr. Ford will manufacture ni trates at about half ihj previilinj price. This reason, ii iu o.her, is sufficient to secure my en lorsement ot the project. Ihe audience appiau-uu w.-icn .nr. Hammer il'.'eiarod h mHt tor the salider bor.us. '"When h.; boys left for Frame." he said, "w hhouted to the skies that nothing v.u too .-ood for them when they got back. Now we rtt'us? to compensate th-m to the extent Gnat Britain, France and the other allies, all of whom owe ua billions of dollars, have reimbursed their tizhters for financial losses sus tained by reason of their sorvice in the field." - Mr. Hammer went further. He de i-lurnd hie intention to us his influ ence to secure the appointment o! ex service men to government jobs re gardless of their politics. Already at his instance a democratic applicant for postmastership withdrew from the race in favor of a republican ap plicant who had a war record, h said. He closed his speech wi'ih a warn ing to Union county democrat!. "You would kick yourself into South Car olina," h, said, "if you awoke on the day after the election and found the republicans had carried the ili.Urict because you stayed away from tho polls. Of course it is highly improb able that the republicans can muster sufficient strength to dj this but yoa can never Ml." Interning Rotary Meeting. The Rotary meeting at noon today In tho roons of the Chamber of Com merce, wht'i ? lunch was served in a most exci'llent manner by ladies of the Episcopal church, had two "fea tures. One was an interesting talk by Mr. Kd L. Secrest of Mexico, and the other was the "stunt" pulled off by Rob Lvuy nd oilier members in Presenting a go art to Rotarian Kemp 'underVurlt. Mr. Smsj'' Is in charge of a large work being 'ione n Mexico City by the Y. M. C. A. He has been there a year and is up on a month's vacation now, a part of which time he is upending with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Secrest, and a part with his wife's people in Atlanta. He told of conditions in Mexico and has a very intimate knowledge of what is going on in that country. Mexico City has a population of a million. The Y. M. C. A. membership runs to two thousand, most of whom are Catholics. His hobby is boy scout work and he is at the head of a lo cal troup of scouts, which is growing rapidly. The Y. M. C. A. building is a handsome structure and Mr. Secrest showed photographs of it and other scenes in Mexico. He also spoke of the live Rotary club, of that city.
