THE WEEK J * v ?A i ' ; " * - (By DAN TOMPKINS) - _ North Carolina, proud North Caro lina, cloth?4 in humility, hangs hfcr head in shame, before the world. An other, and a bloody outbreak has oe curred At Marion. At least three men are deflo^' and near a score more, both men and women are wounded, as the result of a bloody shooting at the gates of the Marion Manufacturing Company 's plant, at the early hours Wednesday momjog. No one, ao faj^ seems to know it waaall aboutJ sAOwegh ikamr wop**. a large number of witnesses inggfttog the-sheriff of McDowell eo^jr^jEtfveral deputies, | and some news^iper reporters. The sheriff states he had arrested, handcuffed, and was trying to sub due^one Jonas, when the firing began He saw no firearms' in the posession of the strike picketers, and saw shots eoming only from his deputies. He atrtan that he commanded and^ejitreat ed the deputies to cease firing. The man Jqpas, whom the sheriff had un der 3Koaest, was shot, taken to the h? ospital, with handcuffs about his wrists, and died. If there is any les son that we can learn frflft the Ma rion mess, it is that it is) a moat dan gerous thing to clothe men of small brains, little courage, and beast in stincts with the authority of the law, and place firearms in their hands. There should be a law requiring ev ery man, who aspires to be a police officer, of any kind, to first pass an examination before a competent board, show that he knows enough | about the law and the bill of rights j to be able to tell what he can and [what h? can't do, in the discharge of l his duties, what his rights and duties I are, andf what axe the rights of, the I people, and prove that he is tempera mentally fitted and ha? sufficient mor al and physical courage to make a I competent officer. That one thing . law than coirplished. W. O. Satmdcrs, of pajama and Houston fame, tola a News and Ob server reporter that J. W. Bailey can not be elected either to the United States Senate or as governor, -because the people don't want to vote for a| smart man for public office. He cites ( the popularity of Mayor Jimmy Wal-j ker and Mr. Coolidge, and the elec tion of Mr. Hoover and R. T.- Foun-| tain, to prove his contention. Perhaps Mr. Saunders might offer the same explanation as to why he, himself,; is not now president -of the United States. ~ The Democrats in the United States! Senate, with the aid of the Republi-. can insurgents from the bucolic west, upset the regular Republican and the ] Administration plans, and voted down I the flexible feature of the tariff bill, restoring the final say of the tariff ( commission findings to the congress, j So there is a- majority in the npper^ house that recognizes that the taxa tion power, as provided by the consti tution, rests with the congress, and not with the executive, even when it J is to be used to tax the many for the benefit of" the few. I - ? The suggestion has been made that Governor Gardner eall the general assembly into extraordinary session, for the purpose of working out a set tlement of the difficulties in the tex-' tile industry. Why not, Governor? It will have to be settled eventually, so why* not get it over with, before any further tragedy blackens the good name of "our beloved State f 4 I Hall, Vickers, Jonas, Bryson, are ' the men dead at Marion, and they all have the ring of good North Carolina names, to me. it being admitted at the meeting, that the few hundred feet left open be tween the two highways is the worst part of the road between Sylva and Cullowhee, has the greatest amount of traffic, and is the most difficult to maintain. The commissioner stated that in order to> prevent forcing the Ameri can Forest Products Company to move its, plant fom Sylva to another state, it had been agreed not to con struct .the link that goes through the pole yard, just outside of Sylva, at ( the present time, and to maintain, in good, condition, the present road at f THE SPOTLIGHT -Picking Out News griefs from Over the ft Suits for a total of 1400,000 dam ages were filed in Cha^otteover the .leaders who contend that they were falsely arrested and imprisoned recently. The actions were brought against Sher iff John R. Irwin,, of Mecklenburg! County, and Chief of- Poliec Alex West, of Charlotte. Earlier in the week the American Civil Liberties Union had offered an indefinite sum of more than $2,000 as a reward forj the apprehension arid conviction ofj night riders guilty of various acts of violence in regard to the strikers and their leaders. ? Judge Walter Small sentenced John Macon, a negro, to die in the electric ehair at the State prison on Novem ber 1, at Warrenton after his recent trial? for the killing of Sam PinneU on May 3. Following the sentence he was taken immediately to Raleigh. Fifteen persons were arrested dur ing the past week and a large amount of whiskey was seized at Concord where a squad of Federal prohibi tion agents under the direction of Ad ministrator J. L. Osteen, of Greens boro, conducted an organized raid. The biggest single haul was of 43 gallons that was found on the prop erty of H. A. (Bud) Goodman ? A week of United States District Court that has just been closed at I Fayetville resulted in 38 men being given sentences in the Federal prison in Atlanta. This is the largest single' bunch of Federal prisoners ever known to have left this State. They went to Atlanta aboard a special car that was supervised by fifteen guards. . / The subscription fund for the new Moore County Hospital has been rais ed, according to an ? announcement that has just come out of Aberdeen. The hospital will be built and equip ped at once. Included in the fund was a donation of $50,000 from the( Duke Endowment Fund. ! ^ ! I The high cost of living isn 't recog nized in the Recorder's Court of Cho wan County. Judge John F. White ? ; who is a Bachelor ? ordered two men who have wives and children to pay j$5 a week for the support of their families when -^ey were tried before/ him at Edenton last week for aban donment and non-support. 1 ^When John Thompson, aged 28 and a well-^nown Albemarle man, was climbing over a barbed wire fence early last week his shot gun was accidentally discharged and he I was lolled: v s. ( UNIQUE SERVICES PLANNED FOR METHODIST CHURCHES The services which are being plan-l ned for the Methodist churches of Syiva andj Dillsboro Sunday, are,- to say the least, going to be unique. Qje ^?ture of the service will be the Sacraiiient of the Lord's Supper which will be given to all Christians alike who desire to celebrate in this Memorial to the death of the Son of God for the sins of the whole world. This is a beautiful and spiritual feast in which every member of the- church will want to participate. Another will be the presentation, by the pastor of the "Methodist Measuring Stick." It could easily be a means of grace to every Metho dist to take his "measure" by this "yardstick.' Also, there will be hymns appro priate to the occasion and special mus ic^ by thef choir. _ Sunday, in addition to being the first Sunday in the month, is the first I in the Sunday School year. Make of it a Rally Day and come. Every citi zen ought to go to church somewhere. A big "Whoopee Jubilee" was' held at Scotland Neck, Fridfly. At J that time business houses and citi-( zeaa -of the town chased "Old Man Gloom" and all his attendants out of Town and replaced him with the spirits of "Happiness" and "Good Cheer." Governor O. Max Gardner held a conference at the capitol several days ago to consider the turmoil of labor difficulty that have beset the State recently. He met at that time with a group of leading textile manufac turers of the State. On the following day he issued a statement that he would hold a similar meeting with representatives of the strikers be cause he did not talk the same lang uage that these leaders did. "Their doctrine is fundamentally destructive and alien to North Carolina," he said. "They do not speak the lan * uage of law and order." Further investigations into the v death of Mrs. Ella May Wiggins, Who was killed near Gastonia in a clash between labor factions recently, haVe led to the arrest of W. M. Borders, ait aged watchman at the Loray Cot/ ton -Mill. Witnesses at the inquest described the' man who shot Mrs. Wiggins as having ted hair. } ' ' - The Aderholt murder trial in which Fred Beal and fifteen defendants are charged with the /icuider of the late Chief of Police at Gastonia was started for the third time ^ pany to be capitalized at $60,000,000 will control the two groups of banks if the- meager is pwfeeUd
