J. F. HURLEY IS SPEAKER OF DAY j Editor ,of Salisbury Post Says We Must Make Sac rifices as Did the Men of the Confederate Army. Concord find Cabarrus county joined bands today in paying homage to the heroes of the Confederacy, with appro priate and beautiful Memorial Day ex ercises. The exercises were held to-, day instead of tomorrow, which is Me morial Day, because of the fact that the children will not be in school to morrow and it would be difficult to get them together for the exercises. The new high school auditorium was nsed for the exercises and it was tilled with veterans, Daughters of the ( on-1 fi'deracy, high school students and other interested spectators. The children of the grammar and primary schools were not taken to the auditorium but after the exercises at the school they formed a line of march that moved to the court house for the decorating of the Confed erate monument. ,T. F. Hurley, editor of The Salisbury post, and for years a resident of Con cord "came home” to deliver the Me morial Day address. Mr. Hurley very titling and beautifully paid homage to the dead and living of the Confederacy using their lives and deeds as examples in pointing out the duties of the citi zens of today and tomorrow, Air. Hurley devoted much of his ad dress to a piea- for better rural schools, declaring that on such an occasion as Memorial Day it seemed fitting thnt the sacrifices of the men of gray should be pointed out as an example to be follow ed by present day citizens who should sacrifice, if necessary to give their fel lowman every possible advantage educa tionally. , M*t. of the veterans of the county thinned hy time but those who are still, able never miss an opportunity to at*' tend Memorial Day exercises. After the exercises at the school build ing were completed a few Veterans. Daughters and school children marched to the court house lawn and there laid their floral tributes ok, the monument erected to the memory of the men ’who followed Lee, Jackson and other great leaders. Mr. Hurley’s address follows in full: Jt is with unfeigned pleasure that I visit you today. You good people of my home town have been good to me. always considerate beyond my desert, and naturally I nin glad to be considered worthy of this occasion. I wish .to assure you of my appreciation, and to say that the pleasure of my coining is heightened- very much by the privilege of speaking to you in this splendid new high 1 school building which you have erected to the glory of Cod and the up lift of the child life of the community. It is appropriate that these exorcist's, which are builded about the precious memories under whose influence we gath er today, should look to the dedication of siYch a worthy house which yon have set up for the uplift of the children c’f those whom we hnve in mind just now. I'am sure that if our departed ones were present in the flesh as they are in the spirit they would speak words of un bounded commendation and pride. How greatly we should rejoice at the- com pletion of so worthy a'n undertaking. Our moral and spiritual advance mußt keep pace with our material prfogress." We would become top-heavy and over balanced badly did we net build the walls of our social structure with proper regard to the higher and more enabling things of life, and this community that has dene such wonderful things in a material way is to be congratulated that it is building under the vision and inspi ration of a great fath. Frst ■ things first means the Establishment of the. spiritual life before the material struc ture grows out at all bound. If I understand my commission today lam to speak to the living. If I have a message it must be to those who live and labor, love and serve in the now of life, though I assure you the pleasure is intensified by the fact we stand as it were on hallowed ground, uncovered before the envisaged form of those who Imre the heat gnd burden of a sterner and more heroic day. I have the pleasure 'at this time of seeing you engaged on the one hand in reaching back, whilh with the other you make smooth and straight the way of a wonderful new life. With one hand you -gather fact's and keep them forever in trust, plant flowers on the grave of the departed and steady the tottering form of the remaining ones, while with the other hand you build in a practical way a better path for the advance of an ever renewing Christian civilisation ; the spirit of the past urges you to act today for the more glorious tomorrow. Thanks to the good women we can neither neglect or forget, though I fear that we would both neglect and forget but for them. There are, to be Sure, some things we might well forget, but surely none of the traditional spirit of the fathers of our yesteryears, none of their high devotion to duty. We can afford to forget tjmt which in nnbeeom ( (Continued on Page Nine) » The Concord Daily Tribune EXECUTION OF SIX MEN DRAWS CROWD i TO LOUISIANA TOWN ————— / Amite, Where Men Were Put to Death, Crowded With People From All of State.

Pratt, the special assistant attorney general who assisted in seeuring the indictment against Senator Wheeler in Montana, to day laid before the Senate committee in vestigating the subject the documentary evidence on which the indictment was partially based. The material consisted of photostatic reproductions of correspondence said to have passed between Senator Wheeler and Cordon Campbell, the Montana oil promoter, for whom the Senator is al leged to have appeared unlawfully before the Interior Department. One letter, ostensibly from Wheeler to Campbell, dated .March 8. 1923, asked Campbell “to have your office send me details of permits in order that when I ■take it up I may be able to discuss it in telligently with the Department of the In terior." l’ratt also produced what purported ( to be a letter dated May 5. 1923. in which Cordon Campbell offered E. S. Booth, the solicitor of the Interior De partment. 40 acres of land out of one oil permit, and suggested that 40 acres addi tional be assigned to V. M.

Senator Borah directed Wheeler to tell of “the scope, terms and circum stances" of his employment as a lawyer by Campbell. Wheeler said that Tom Stout, a for mer Congressman of Montana, asked him to represent Campbell in the state courts and general litigation. The employment begann in January. 11123, after Wheeler's election to the Senate, but before his in stallation in office. "I told Stout I was coming to Wash ington. ami was trying to close, out my law business, and wasn't anxious to take any new litigation on.” Senator Wheeler said. “I finally told Stout that if I did take it on, Baldwin, my partner, would have to handle all the business, except if imperative in the trial of ease, ,1 would come back for it.” Campbell had been having trouble with his lawyers. Wheeler said, and he refused to ake the work without a cash payment of $2,000 and agreement to receive SIO,OOO as retainer for a year. Senator Wheeler denied that he had given any assurances that when he got to Washington lie would straighten out the Campbell permits. Denies Aliy Wrongdoing.

VALUE OF SUNLIGHT IN TREATING OF Tl BERCULOSLS Highly Recommended hy Speaker BefqpdJ National Tuberculosis (Bj- the Associated Pre\ Atlanta, May 9.—Sunlight \ treatment of tuberculosis was —TffgTiTy recommended by Major E- H.

Y.. before the National Tuberculosis Association last i night. Major Bruns spoke of the satisfactory use of heliotherapy, treatment of tuberculoses hy direct sunlight, in cases lof tuberculosis of the spine and spinal j column. Excellent results have been I achieved with this method in the Fitz- | simmons Hospital although, as pointed' out hy Mnpor Bruns, the course of treatment sometimes takes tipis' to sour 1 years. Doctor LoGrasso and Doctor Balder rcy pointed out that heliotherapy has a! direct and favorable application in cases of pulmonary tuberculosis, although it has not been used widely in ibis form of tuberculosis in the United Slates. His results indicated that this method of treatment is of the greatest value in tuberculosis of the lungs and one of the benefits noted being a striking improve ment in the physical condition. Judicious and careful application of sunlight treatment improves the blood, lessens the activity . of the pulmonary process, decreases fever and sputum, and greatly affects the mental attitude of the patinent. The use of the direct sunlight is much to be preferred to any kind of artificial light treatment. "At its best." says Doctor LoGrasso.
