OF MUSCLE as
DEAL IS DISCUSSED
Secretary Weeks, Who Was
Criticised in Statement by
Mr. Ford, Carries Matter to
the Cabinet.
PRESIDENT SAID
TO APPROVE DEAL
And He Contends That Sale
of Gorgas Plant Should
Not Interfere With the
Ford Offer.
(B» the A« aorta ted Pre*». •
•Washington, stet. 12.—Secretary
weeks carried hits) today's cabinet meet
ing tile statement issued in Detroit last
night by Henry Ford assailing the War
Secretary for his action on the sale of
the Gorges steam plant—a part of the
Muscle Shoals property—to the Alabama
Dower Company.
Mr. Weeks, prior to the cabinet meet
ing, refused all requests for comment on
the statement in which Mr. Ford declar
ed political influences working through
the War Secretary have prevented Jiim
frop obtaining the Muscle Shoals prop
erty and would continue to prevent his
acquisition of the Alabama plant.
Officials close to Mr. Weeks indicated
that he resented the statement of the De
troit manufacturer and considered "it
sufficiently grave to take up directly with
the President.
Mr. Ooolidge is known to be thoroughly
in accord with action taken by the War
Department in selling the plant to the
Alabam Power company for .<2.472,487.
The position of the President as it Inis
been stated at the White House, is that
Mr. Ford be given every opimrtunity to
buy and lease the Muscle Shoals property
and that his offer still before Congress
bad not been affected by .the sale of the
(Jorgas property.
Mr. Ooolidge, after the sale of the Gor
gas plant, told visitors he did not regard
the plant essential to the purposes which
Air. Ford said he lmd in view in acquir
ing Muscle Shoals. A* the President put

President, have asserted that Mr. Ford
could build an auxiliary steam plant for
less than three and a half millliio dollars
represented in the Gorgas plant sale,
which amount, it has been announced,
would be credited to Mr. Ford oil his $5,-
000,000 bid for the entire (rroperty. The
view of the administration is that the
Ford offer is still before'Congress and
that that body must detegpine the mat
ter. »
Offer Still Stands.
Detroit, Qct. 12. —Henry Ford’s offer
for Muscle Shoals still made,
and the automobile manufacturer sees
no reason why another offer should' be
made in view of the sale of the Gorgas
power plant to the Alabama Power Com
pany recently. This was made plain in
a statement issued by Ford last night,
his first public statement on the subject
since the sale of the Gorgas plant.
The statement issued by the Detroit
manufacturers arraigned the Secretary of
W’ar for his stand on the Muscle Shoals
question, and accused the secretary and
his friends of keeping the Ford offer from
coming to a vote in Congress.
“•The Ford Motog Company has never
needed Muscle Shoals.” the statement
said. "We have' waterpower sufficienr
for our purposes. The only thing T
could do at Muscle Shoals which I am
not able to do elsewhere would be to
make fertiliser for the farmer. And
that is the sole reason Secretary Weeks
and stores of corporation lawyers have
exercised their cunning to prevent me.”

THE CENTENARY
GEN. STONEWALL, JACKSON
Will Be Observer Some Time In Jan
uary Under Present Plans.
Richmond. Ye., O. t. 12.—Plans fur a
memorable celebration are under discus
sion for the observance of the one hun
dredth anniversary of the birth of Gen
eral Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson, the
great Confederate military loader. Though
the commemoration will not take place
until next January, preliminary arrange
ments for the occasion has already
been inaugurated by the United Confed
erate Veterans. Daughters of the Con
federacy. and various other organizations.
The figure of "Stonewall” Jackson
stands forth with an entirely unique in
dividuality among Southern leaders. His
torians have seen in him many of the
qualities that distinguished the great
Cromwell. There was the same deep de
votion. the same fiery onslaught, the
I same iinquniling courage; but the piiH-
I tanleal cant in his case had becomp an
/unassuming sincerity and simple faith.
lie came of English parentage, his
great-grandfather having emigratcd'from
Loudon to Maryland in 17-18, Here he
married, and shortly after removed to
what is now the State of West Virginia
His fathyr was an engineer and died be
fore his son's recollection. His mother
died when lie was ten years old. and her
death is said to have made a profound
impression on the lad. An uncle assum
ed tile responsibility of bringing him up.
He was a very delicate child, but the
rough life of a Virginia farm strengthen
ed his constitution. At 18 lie was ap
pointed a cadet to West Point. On W
graduation in 184(1 lie was ordered to
Mexico, where he look |>arf in General
Scott’s campaign. In 1851. on his ap
iwintment as u professor at Virginia
Military Institute, he resigned from the
army.
A few days after the secession of Vir
ginia, but before aetual hostilities had
commenced, Jackson was ordered to Har-
I tier’s Ferry to drill the military bands
j that were gathering there from all
quarters. When Virginia joined the Con
! federacy a few weeks*later, lie became a
i brigade commander in the army of Gen.
| Joseph E. Johnston, which rank he held
at the battle of Bull Run. In that ac
tion Jackson's brigade was the first to
get into position, and checked the prog
l-ess of the Federal forces. General Ber
nard E. Bee, in rallying his men, said:
"Sec, there is Jackson standing like a
stone wall.” Bee fell almost imujMuitc
ly after, but his exclamation
upon the Confederate brigmlierqfweral a
baptism that became immortal.
At Winchester, at Cross Keys, Gaines'
Mill. Sharpsburg. and other engagements
in the Virginia campaign. "Stonewall"
Jackson continued to add to his reputa
tion as one of the ablest military lead
ers of the Confederacy. The subtlety

His untimely end came immediately fol
lowing his victory at Chanccllnrsvillp in
the early ixn-t of May, 18(13. While call
ing cm his men to restore order and get
into line, Jackson found that Hooker
was advancing witli fresh troops, being
pressed in front by Lee. Jackson, with
a part of hit- staff, moved forward in
the direction of the advancing Federal
troops. In order to screen himself from
the flying bullets, he rode with his staff
into a thicket to the left and rear ami
soon came in front or his own line of
battle. His men. mistaking the officers
for the enemy, opened fire, and from this
volley Jackson received his mortal
wounds, while several of his cseorts were
killed or wounded. General Jackson lin
gered for some days, his dentil occurring
at Quincy's Station on May 10. 1863.

ST. JAMES ENTRETAINS
Male Members of Chtirrb Honor Guests
at Banquet Held Wednesday Night at
the Y. M. C. A.-
An enthusiastic meeting of the men
of St. James Lutheran Church and men
I from St. Andrews and Calvary Lutheran
1 1 churches in this city was held Wednes
-1 day evening at the Y. M. C. A., the
' Men’s Bible Class of St. .Tames Church
being boss at the'' meeting. More than
a' hundred men attended the supper,
which' was served by the ladies of the
church, who had prepared n splendid
noodle supper, fo'lowed by a salad
course, and ice cream and cake.
Prof. J. B. Robertson, teacher of the
Mens class, acted as toastmaster of the
occasion, and called on n number of
those present for short talks. Dr. L. A.
Bikle, the first speaker, gave some rr
miniseenses of his early days, and made
a strong pica for the thorough teaching
of thp Bible in the present (lay. H"
vigorously denounced the tendency to
take short cuts, and the teaching of
evolution as a serious menace to the
church of today. '
S. K. Patterson, superintendent of
St. James Sunday School, followed with
a talk on the Sunday School, and an
invitation to all the men to make a
habit of attending its meetings more
regularly. Prof. Robertson talked of the
Men's Rib'p Class, and emphasized the
fact that the spirit of the church and
of thp class should be a missionary
spirit that would go out and spread the
good news.
J. A. Blaekwelder made a short talk
on the friendly spirit that should pre
one of the greatest of all ways to in
i Alienee the lives of those with whom we
| are thrown in contact. Major Will Foi'
followed Mr. Blaekwelder witli n talk on
the ladies of St. .Tames ns cooks, and
thanking them for the splendid supper
they had prepared for this occasion.
Rev-. M. L. Kcster, pastor of ’Calvary
and St- Andrews church churches, made
a splendid talk on the Lutherans in
Concord. He expressed the appreciation
of himself and the members of his
ehucli for the invitation from St. James
church, and their enjoyment in being
present. Rev". Mr. Ivester presented some
facts and figures on the Lutherans in
’oncord. showing that at prespnt there
are 015 members on the rolls of the
three churches in the city. During the
past year 82 new members were received
into the churches. However, lie con
tinued, there are at least 15(| Lutherans
in this city who are not identified with
any of the chtirehes here, aud one of
the missions of the church is to • sec
that til wo Lutherans arc connected .
aetiely with one of the churches of th*ir
faith. Besides, there are in Concord a
lare number of persons not connected
with any church whatever, and it it a
duty and a challenge to the member of
the church to win these -persons to the
»l/tfrcb.
"Rev. W.( G. Campbell, former pa«tor
of St. James Church, who is a visitor
in Concord, was a guest at the meeting,
and made a short talk on the spirit of
the meeting. Although he was a strang
er to many of those present, he said,
he had fe't the thrill of the spirit of
this meeting, and was confident that the
men were on he right road to getting
something accomplished. After all. he
continued, the only way to win a man
is to wiu his- love, and this can be
done only by learning to know each
other. If a person will learn to know
another, it will not be liurd to love him.
and when we can love God and love
our fellow-mau. we are fulfilling the
greutest commandments that have been
given us.
Rev. Ij. A. Thomas, pastor of St.
James, the last speaker, made a p'ea for
earnest and enthusiastic- work by the
church members. At the begining of his
second year’s work as pastor of the
local church he expressed the hope that
there would be more helpers in the
great work that lies before the congre
gation.
Throughout the meeting various songs
were sung by the body of men and at
one point Miss Helen Patterson render
ed several vocal selections which
furnished much enjoyment for her hear
ers.
