CANTON EMPLOYES EE
TURN TO WORK
' \ ______ <?>
' Canton Enterprise, Mar. 14.? The
strike which has been in progress
here for the past six weeks, ended
Tuesday afternoon when the re
maining members of the union met
:iJid decided to surrender their card
ami return to work.
' The plant was partially opened
about ten days ago when the sod.i
mill began operations. TJhe sulphite
department and additional section1
have opened the past fow daj(s and
it lias been stated that other part,
will be in operation within Ihirty
days, or as soon as market condition^
will permit.
It was announced that the soda
mill would open on a non-union
basis March 3rd, at which time mem
hers of the union are reported to
have returned to work. Since that
time men have gradually gone in and
Tuesday the organ izajtion decided
that it was seemingly impossible to
hold the men together longer. Thev
thereupon surrendered their cards
and signified their intention to re
turn to work. Several hundred have
signed up and are awaiting orders to
return to their places. However, "we
have been informed that between
fifty and onq hundred men have sc
far not turned in their cards and
have expressod themselves as not
truing to return to work, but will
move to another town.
It is understood the men are snr
rendering their cards and returning
to work under the conditions set
forth in a letter from Reuben v B.
Robertson to the employes prior to
the resumption of ojierations ? tlu
1023 wage scale and three shifts of
eight hours each. -/??'. \
Canton has been hard hit during
the strike ands shut down, and while
a number of her citizens would have
been glad to see the men win, yet
they are anxious for full operation*
of the mill to . begin to '"see bus
/icss conditions improve.

SEIMI-MONTHLY FARM NOTES
ft
Raleigh. Mar. 19. ? Thus far, March
'ias been one of the coolest on record.
The frequent rainfall and snow .have
entirely prevented field work/ Two
or three warm days caused peach and
pear buds to swell considerably. Ap
ples were not affected. Several freez
es have occurred, but not enough to
damage crops materially. Consider
* -j
able snow and sleet in the western
part of the state. . N ?;
Practically no work has been done
on farms during March. The ccfld
/gather, rain and snow have prevents
ed operations. f This is delaying the
usual spring work, which a month
go, was ahead of the usual. Farm
ers are still optimistic of the outlook.
They will put forth a maxium acreagc
effort which will be limited only by
the labor supply.
The oat crop has not and will not
recover from the earlier and severe
cold weather. Some spring planting
has' occurred. Wheat has only a fair
mtlook. Rye, the same. ' ' >
The fruit outlook is still very good.
. *o damage has yet occurred and the
Top has been held back by the cold
weather. Peach and pear buds have
' .wolleif considerably, but have not
yet been damaged. Fruit buds aiv
unusually heavy on all types of trees
his spring. A considerable increase
in the number of trees planted and
the new trees coming into bearing is
evident in/ the Sand Hill peach or
chard area. With a good crop, ! a,
prospect of 25 cars is reasonable, for
this area. They are counting on moiv
than this.
Much of the winter tmck was kill
id by the winer freezes and the cool
weather has held back the crops con-s
?.iderably'" at this date, Much interest
1 evident "Over the state in truck
?'.1 li Jiic gardens. ,
rhe. livestock situation is dis
couraging in the beef cattle area. Low
?rices and poor demands are tho
? -itstanding features. There is no
> irticuldr interest in livestock ex*
;ept in poultry. Everyone seems in
terested in them.
v The markets are active for the
?uWimrtdities offered at sale. With
improved roads, the usual complaint
f inaccessibility cannot be made.
<-The tobacco markets have practical
ly all closed. The cotton sales arc
jiearing the end of the peak, so that
"'icSrc is little activity just now in
r rkcting. )
There is perhaps the least ?ar:,-i
ivork being dope in March for many
vearsi Practically no field work hat;
been done. Less than the usual fer
/* .
tilizers. are being hauled in spite of
the favorable conditions or time
vailable for this work. Much that
could be done is left undone.
Specific .comments received from
Farm Notes reporters from all part
the state pertaining to the opti
uistic vifews of fanners are as fol
lows: Alleghany thinks that the good
roads are the outstanding feature.
Watauga says that the cold weather
is holding back fruit. Forsyth re
ports wheat and oats looking better:
iome frozen-out. Trodell says that the
farmers are seeding clover and les
pedeza (Japan clover) ; some spring
>ats being planted. Richmond count;
^ays that there was a cooperative
purchase of more than 300 peach
trees, while the peach acreage is jn
creasing considerably. Stanly notes
i grea^ improvement in poultry and
some improvement in dairying. Nash
county thinks that the cold weather
has probably done damage to the
boll weevil. Carteret sizes the situa
tion up by saying that the farmer;
;re generally feeling optimistic for
the year. Jones reports crops in good
condition. Pender notes that straw
Serries have been cultivated and fen
'ilized; jxbh potatoes being p! ante

MEMOIR ? LIEUT. R. ^
HAMILTON BHpWN
(By JAMES H. CATHEvff
Lieu .. Brovn was born in tbfj&men
cuuuiy of i lav wood, Feb. 10,'eptl.
Died at his home, CullowheeSwct.
His grandfather was Robt. BKftrn,
a pioneer* in this section, a full jl|od
Ipshm'an.^ His father was W&n
Brown, and his mother was a num
ber of the prominent Rogers f tally.
Tiieut. Brown married Miss
Riyson, daughter of Capt. JohiI|C.
Bryson and grand-daughter of^flfej.
Wm. H. Bryson. On her motw4g
side she' was a Davis, one of "Wie
leading families of that name, w jnae
forbear was John Davis of eari.Vjftt
tlement days. Her maternal gnat
grandfather was Benjamin Alliafp,
From this single example it wfi&d
be of singular interest to trace th?tn
ter-relationship of families in afar
mountains. Nearly all the old nave
families are related by oonsanguinjv.
All the families above mentioffd
are among" the leading citizens in the
building of the society we now enjw.
Lieut. Bkowii was a farmer by W*
eupation, but lie was interested in we
manufacture of lumber and raisiig
and dealing in live stock. His chwf
delight was in his farm and hotty$,
and the comradeship of comrades aifil
friends. He was a delightful
coinuanion and host, not so much be
cause of 1 his conversational poweDi
as for the fellow of ease and conp
fort that seemed to take possession
of aft in his simple, genuine and un*
effected presence. Tennyson paid
Carlyle one of his usual evening
calls at Chelsea. They dpent the hour*
in a sort of smoking siesta in Carf
lyle's chimney jams and never spdke.
When Tennyson took his leave ek?- 1
pressed himself as having had a dot
lightful-hour.-Carlyle replying in kin?
Hamilton Brown was just such nat
urally bon honimc gentlemen.
He Was beau ideail Oonfe^erato
soldier. Faithful, fearli#*, ' dutifih?
Always at mis post of duty. He
went to frortt with Co. A. 16th N. C.
Regt* and fought under the personal
command of McElroy, Pender, A. P.
Mill and Gen, Lee in the Array of
N'ort lieru Virginia. That would be
sullicient praise for any soldier. But
the latter part of 1862 his company
wits transferred to the West after
Harper's Ferry and Sharpsburg ami
he served to the end under Coleman,
:>ragg, at Chicamauga and Hood and
limThe *o Spanish Fort.
His command never saw no truce,
no re t. Nothing but fighting and
!iikednc$s and hunger. >le was
thoughtful and tender and patriotic.
He loved all men and above all the
grim heroes who had suffered with
him or whose faces he had seen for
i l.e last time in 1 lie cprnage of battle.
It is to liim that the State owes the
preservation of the battle flag of the
historic 39th. That Regiment captur
ed an Indian battery of nine pieces
nn JMinday of the battle of Chica

appointed to locate special achieve

Lielit. Brown was one of the origi
nal friends of. Cullowhee X. i?u<l I,
along with Uncle David Rogers,
.fudge Davits, David Coward, Dcc-k
Bryson, T. A. Cox and, many others
.equally loyal but too numerous to
.nentioii in this brief memoir.
Ho was nor a man who made any
effort r.t parade. His personality was
simplicity simplified. But he was
every whit a man. A strong- bodied,
trong-hearted human. He reverenced
religion and supported the sect of his
c' <; C2 with ?!? manly, christian free
dom and unstintedness. He regarded
the ministers with a gentlemen's re

CONGRESS HAS NOt
PASSED A BILL
? , ' ?
, (By Wallace Bassford) ?
V Washington, D. C., Mar. 20. ? Con
gress has boen in session three and
a half months and not a single bill
lias reached ihe President for his
signature. Last December, when Con
gress met for the long session, Pres
ident Coolidge delivered a message
in which he listed about fifty differ
ent pieces of legislation which he
deemed necessary or expedient. There
was 110 evidence that he is among
those who begin to feel that the
eountry is law-ridden, for, like Oliver
Twist, he called for more. Not one
of the many laws asked for has been
passed, and at the present rate ??
spoed, when Congress adjourns in
mid-summer or early fall, only two
or three of the President's sugges
tions will have been acted upon.
Among the important things he ask
ed Congress for are the following
Tax reduction, entry into the World
Court, reorganization of the foreign
service, . abolition of tax-exempt
securities, opening of intracoastal
waterways, a liquor treaty with
England, strengthening of the Coast
Guard against rum runners, a com
mission on negro migration, class
ification of postmasters, placing of
prohibition agents, under civil ser
vice, legislation for more government
buildings in Washington, internation
al action against oil pollution of
coast* waters, laws controlling avi
ation, regllation of radio interfer
ence, providing of safe road-lines
for vessels, receding of navigation
laws, revision of procedure before
thoj^cderal Trade Commission, reg
ulation of Alaskan fisheries, strength
ening of Aarmy aud Navy personnel,
more airplanes for the Army, more
submarines for the Navy, legislation
limiting child labor, minimum wage
law for women in Federal juris
dictions, creation of Department of
Education and Welfare, immigration
restriction and regulation of aliens,
legislation to open veterans' hospitals
to nil veterans of our wars, author
ization to appoint commission to deai
with coal situations arising, reor
ganization of Government depart
ments, federal aid for farm exports,
the leasing of Muscle Shoals, relief
for persons on government reclama
tion projects, legislation for highway*
and forests, super-power development
in northeastern States, revision of
iV ? ?
Railroad Labor Board rules, legis
lation 011 railroad rate-fixing after
the Supreme Court acts on the re
capture clauses of thc> Transporta
tion Act, reconstruction of railroad
rate laws, legislation for railroad
consolidation, revision ,of the exist
ing laws of the United Stated, law
allowing simplification of rules of the
Supreme Court concerning review by
that body, employment in Federal
prisons, providing new Federal re
formatories, creating a division of
identification of criminals n the De
partment of Justice.
Of course, it would be possible for
the President to do quil^ a bit of ex
coriating of Congress for this do
uotliing performance, but the Pres
ident would be jumping astride ol
his own party, something little cal
culated to improved cither his own
chances of carrying the country in
November, or to increase the hop? of
securing any of the legislation asked.
The feat 'is that the Republican ma
jority in the two houses is in. name
only; it lacks cohesion, able leader
ship and pep. This latter quality, is
well-nigh destroyed by what seems
the certainty of disaster ahead.
The Senatorial investigation com
mittee is getting off to a good start
on the Daugherty case, developing
the case and bringing new matters to
light at each session. The retirement
of Senator Lenroot from the Teapot
Dome investigation will make no dif
ference whatever in the conduct of
the work, as he took little part in
the proceedings. Senator Wheeler
will be so much occupied for some
weeks with the Daugherty case that
it will delay the beginning of the fur
seal inquiry, which Wheeler is to
conduct. The Veterans' Bureau is at
last getting under way at Chicago.
Incidentally this has brought in the
name of Representative Zihlman of
Maryland, who^ demands, after a
very frank statement, a complete in
vestigation. The general feeling in
official circles of Washington is that
Zihlman will be able to show a per
fectly clean bill of health. The finger
of ^ suspicion often points at an in
nocent man, and the belief is that
this is one of those cases. Under ex
isting conditions it is well to keep
the vision clear. The innocent are
still in the vaat majority, the oountry
| is the greatest the world has ever
> seen. All that is needed is a cleaning
out; of some dirty coiners and there
remains little doubt that the election
in November will attend to that.

GOV. BROUGH LECTURES '
)" ? mm J
Governor Brough, of Arkansas.
Governor during the World War
period, and student under President
Woodrow Wilson for three years,
lectured in the High School audi
torium last Friday evening. Hi
theme was "The World Leaderslrip
of America."
It has been my fortune to hear
many of the World's best. I do not
jiesitate to place the Governor in this
list.
His defense of the Bible as the
spired Word of God was as fine a
I ever heard or read.
the lecture ought" to be put in pam
phlet form and scattered over tin
world. It is a master-pioce in the
highest sense of the worcl.
