CONCORD PEOPLE
PAY TRIBUTE TO THE
' GREAT COMMONER
Our People Assembled at the
Court House to Honor
Him at Hour of Funeral
at Washington.
TFIBUTEsIrO HIS
MATCHLESS LIFE
Speakers Touched on Every
Phase of His Many Activ
ities, Political, Religious
and Private.
A» the body of William Jennings
Bryan was laid ill its final resting place
at Arlington Friday afternoon, t'oneord
bared its head for a brief while to do
‘.i> nor to the great commoner.
Memorial exercises, conducted at the
court house, were held as a tribute to the
departed leader. Here verbal laurels
were brought honoring the man whose
life was ended last Sunday.
There were tributes to the matrhlesfc
power of his oratory, tributes to Ills utt
sc’fish devotion to duty, tributes to his
fi'ithfulness to his religion, tributes to
his fervor in fighting the forces he deemed
harmful to the teachings of the Bible.
He was spoken of as "an apostle of light."
"a crusader for Christ." "a man who
stood out above the commonality of hu
l tonify," "an advocate of peace and good
vi’l toward men." and. as a man "cru
cified on the iros.- of infidelity.”
Speakers touched on every phase in
Ms life, his polit'ea! cai-eer. his religious
career and his ptivate career. Several
who ’.tad heard him make addresses gave
their impressions of.his oratory; others
who had known him told of his personal
ity
Several of the sts-nkers, forgetting‘hat
i. was a memorial service, strayed from
the topic and s|>okc on things other.linn
the attributes of Mr. Bryan. Dr. J.
I» Pentuff advanced » new and original
theory of the tie* 111 of Mr. Bryan. He
dc ;ired that he thought that while
Bryan slept last Sunday, some hired
servant stealthily sl’pped in the room
and gave him gun. snuffing out his life,
it. added that Bryan’s life had been
threatened and that this was perfectly
Faenbie.
Senator W. A. Foil also strayed from
the subject ami gave a dissertation on
the subject offcvoiution, expounding bis
views <(n the auatter with considerable
fullness.
A resolution was presented by J. P.
Cook and pasted unanimously, the text
of which is as follows;
Whereas. God. the Creater of man
kind. lias removed from this earth Wil
liam Jennings Bryan, “the great com
moner,” the tribune of the people,
Now. therefore, be it resolved by the
citizens of Coneord and of Cabarrus coun
ty. North Carolina:
First. That we unite with millions
of his friends and followers in sorrow
for his passing, but rejoice in the record
of his life which is worthy of emulation
of the rising generation.
Second. That we desire to express
our appreciation of the magnificent man
hood of Bryan, the man; of the splendid
success of Bryan, the statesman who as
secretary of state by his sincerity se
cured pence treaties with fifteen of the
leading nations of the earth ; of the cour
age of Bryan, the crusader of reform;
of the sublime faith of Bryan, the Chris
tian. as he uttered his immortal dec'ara
tion: "The Bible is good enough for
me.”
Third. That the place in history of
Bryan, thrice nominated for the Presi
dency and thrice defeated, will be in
that group of distinguished statesmen,
who never occupied the White House but
were far greather than some Presidents,
via: Daniel Webster. Henry Clay. John
C. Calhoun and James G. Blaine.
Fourth. That this defense of the Bible
and revealed religion in the closing years
of his eventful career entitled him to be
called ‘DefenOr of the Faith”—a title
which he woV.ld have esteemed as highly
as his we'.l-known title of "The Great
Commoner.”
Fifth, that these resolutions be for
warded by tbe secretaries to the family
of Mr. Bryan and that copies be delivered
to The (5,.. jord Times and Tribune and
The Coneord Observer.
The services were begun seven minutes |
late on account of the fact that the mayor
had not arrived. As soon as he arrived, he
turned the meeting over to M. H. Cald
well who called on Rev. W. C. I.yerly for
a word of prayer.
When the prayer was over Mr. Cald
well made a brief talk. Bryan, the po
litical leader, was dead, he said Bryan,

Above Figures.

the "tier lull" basis, the State's ‘deficit"
t ns of June 3(1. 102(1, would have been
$3,123,320.22. sit'd State Auditor Baxter
Durham, in a statement issued today. The;
statement, he said, was made tit the re ;
; quest of former Governor Cameron Mor
ri.-on. "citizen and tax payer."-'At the
same time, he pointed out that lie had
certified to the Governor .and Council of
State, on July 14. 1025. that "(lie cash
debit balance of the general fund ns of
June 30. 1025. was $9,438,531.61."
Tbe State Auditor's statement Ml
lows:
"Resolution Number 12. Genera? As
sembly of 1023, provides that the Finance
and Appropriations Committee of the
Senate and House Be Directed to take
such steps ns they may deem fit and nec
essary to investigate mid ascerta'n the
true and correct fiscal and financial con
dition of the Stnte.'
"Acting under this resolution this leg
islative committee employed a firm of ac
countants and in submitting their report
to the Governor and Council of State.
July 19th. 1923, used this language:
“ ‘With the meeting of the General As
sembly of 1921, the Stnte started upon an
era of progress which st'll continues. Un
der the revenue stntute passed by the
Legislature of 1921, much the greater
part of the State's income was derived
from income and franchise taxes, which
for the year 1921 did not become due and
payable until in the year 1922. This
made desirable a change of the State's
fiscal year to a year ending June 80th of
each year, and necessitated tfie State
adopting tor its" accounting ‘ method a
revenue or accrual basis, i.e., to apply
against the maintenance appropriations
and the operating expenses of the State
for the fiscal year the tuxes levied and ac
crued in that period, even though such
taxes were actually due and collectible
subsequent thereto.’
“ ‘The Budget Commission of 1920,
and those who acted with it made their
report to the General Assembly of 1921.
based upon this theory of accounting, and
tbe same was ndopted by the Geneeral As
sembly in its revenue provisions and ap
propriations."
“ The Auditor's report herewith sent
is compiled upon the revenue bnsis. which
means the accrual basis as herein explain
ed.'
“ There is a note of $710,000.00
charged against the General Fund or Op
erating account, which in our opinion
should be treated as n part of the fund
ed debt of the State, and should not be
charged to this account.'
"1 quote from this report in order to
show that there wps legislative authority
for stating tbe condition of tbe State
Treasury on an accrual basis. The Bud
get Commission which met in December, |
1924, and January, 1925, submitted a re
port to the General Assembly of 1925
under date of January 30th. That re
port contained an estimated condition of
tbe State Treasury "on a cash basis" os
of June 30th. 1925.
"The General Assembly of 1925 by its
appropriation act. its revenue bill, its
budget act and its general fund note act,
said in effect this: That for the puritose
of balancing the revenues and disburse
ments of the General Fund at the close
of the current fiscal year on Juue 30th,
1925, and of facilitating and the placing
of fiscal operations ot the State upon a
budgetary basis! whereby the cash reve
nues collected in each fiscal year may be
made applicable to and sufficient for the
cash expense disbursements for the same
(period, we will direct the State Auditor
to ascertain the cash debit balance of the
General Fund on June 30, 1925, and cer
, tify the amount to the Governor and the
Council of State. We further direct the
Governor and Council of State to issue
“General Fund Notes” for the amount
so certified. That will allow us to start
a new year on July Ist, 1925, with a
dean slate. We will make appropria
tions for the period of two years, begin
' niug July Ist. 1925, and euding June
30th, 1927. We will also levy taxes to
be collected within these periods ami ap
-1 plicable to these periods.
I ‘This in effect changed the form of
I the finacial statements of the condition
I of the State from the ‘aacrual’.to a ‘cash
I basis.’
“The Auditor of the State, acting under
the direction of the General Fund Note
Act, certified to the Governor and Coun
cil of State, on July 14, 1025, ‘the cash
debit balance of the general fund as of
June 30. 1028' to be $0,438,531.61.
"Honorable Cameron Morrison, former
Governor of North Carolina, citizen and
taxpayer, has asked the State Auditor
to give him a statement of the condition

GRIST NOT YIELDING
TO CHARLOTTE PROTEST
Floyd WaNers. North Charlotte Barber
Will Take Vause’s Job This Morning.
Charlotte, July 31.—Frank <irist,
state commissioner of labor and print
ing, late tonight announced that he had
not countermanded his recent order
ousting W. H- Vause as superintendent
of the local federal state employment of
fice and that effective tomorrow morn
ing Floyd Walters. North Charlotte bar
ber and war veteran, would assume
management-of the office.
Mr. Grist arrived here tonight from
Aaheville on a tour of inspection of the
employment offices in the state. Shortly
before midnight he announced that he
had not best*- approached-by" any tterega-'
tion since his arrival in the city and
said that he probably would not be.
Mr. Grist's dismissal of Vause has
created quite a stir here, city and coun
ty officials having strongly protested the
move, going .so far as to cancel their
appropriation for maintenance of the
office with the dismissal of Vause. The
city heretofore has appropriated $1,290
annually and the county SOOO for the
support of the office. City and county
commissioners have announced that
they will withdraw their support with
the appointment of Walters.
Commissioner Grist countered this
statement tonight with an announce
ment. that if the city and county per
sist in their course the city will lose the
office which he said would be placed in
another city which is offering to match
the state's appropriation of SI,BOO an
nually. dollar for dollar, for support of
an employment office.
The commissioner said that Walters
would take charge of the office tomorrow
morning and that the state would pay
his salary as superintendent and keep
the office here open for 30 days. At the j
end of that time if city and county re
fuse to ngain co-operate he said he
would remove the office from the city
and place'it elsewhere in the state.
Mr. Grist declared tonight that Vaase
was told six months ago to look for
another job and given formal notice
July 20 that his services would not lie
required after July 31. Walters, his np- 1
pointee for the place is fu'fv capable of
holding the position, Mr. Grist asserted.

I’aris, Aug. 1.-—Official announcement
was made this morning that the French
evacuation of the Ruhr is complete.
The entry of the French forces into
the Ruhr took place January 11, 1923.

about payment by Germany of her repa
rations obligations. The evacuation
which has been going on for the past

by the French press and unnoticed by

Rev. George W. Holder Shot
Wife and Then Took His
Own Life at Home in Rich
mond During Day.
NO CAUSEKNOWN
FOR THE MURDER
Bodies' Found in the Dining
Room by Neighbors Who
Rushed In 1 When They
Heard Two Pistol Shots.
(By the Associated Press)
Richmond, Aug. I.—The Key. (Jeorge
W. Holder shot anil killed his wife and
then killed himself at their home here
about It) o’clock this morning.
T’.ie shooting took place in the dining
room and both are believed to have died
almost instantly. The police have not
assigned a motive but declared prelimi
nary investigation indicated ill health
wa<s the cause of the tragedy.
The couple, who were married only
recently, were apparently in the midst of
a morning meal when the wife wan shot
down and the minister then fired a bul
let through his own heart. Reports of
the two bullets were heard by neighbors
who rushed to the scene, to be met by
the thirteen-year-old daughter of Hold
er's by first marriage. They found Mrs.
Holders lying face downward on the din
ing room floor and a few feet away ■
was the body of her husband.
Tending the arrival of Dr. J. W.
Broadnax, coroner, the body of Mrs. Hol
den was not moved.
Holder retired from active ministerial
duties several years ago and in recent
months had been working in a furniture
store.
Mrs. Holders had been a housekeeper
until she became his wife. The retired
minister had been ill about a week but
went to his work yesterday. Mrs. Hold
ers also was employed, but She too did
not go to work today. Both were thought
by police to be about 33 years of age.
Holder's first wife died several years
ago leaving three children who now sur
vive the-father. They are: Winfred,
15; Grace, 13; and Pauline, 10.

Prices Generally Lower Except For One
Brief Rally,—October I'p td 24.45.
(By the Associated Press)
New York. Aug. I.—The cotton market
was generally lower today with the ex
ception of oue brief rally which was at
tributed to Hester's figures estimating
the consumption for the year at 14.247,000
bales compared with 11,241.000 last year.
The market opened unchanged to 14
points lower with New Orleans brokers
good sellers on reports of further rains in
Texas. Liverpool also was a seller here,
with conmiision house pressure based on
the belief that recent rains have put most
of Texas in condition to withstand a con
siderable stand of dry weather unless
temperatures become unusually high.
October advanced to 24.45 and Decem
ber to 24.30, on the rally, but almost im
