WILL UNIFICATION PLANS FAIL? -The next general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, probably will decide for tin present at ‘ least, flic fate of plans to unite the -- Northern and Southern Methodist ; Churches. Until the conference meets it is practically impossible to tell what the result will be although there - are many indications that the propos ■ ul is not so popular in the South. 2 The Northern Church, taking the - action by conferences as a concensus of opinion, is practically unanimous .. in favor of unification. That means that the general conference of the ' Northern Church is certain to give its approval to the merger. B In the South, judging by voting in conferences which have been held and < prhxh will send representatives to the general conferences, there is not so much unanimity. Several southern conferences have voted in the negative - and the vote in others has been close. | Even among the Bishops in the South * ern 'Church there is difference of " opinion and the Bishops who oppose - the plan are very outspoken in their opposition. $ In sme circles the prediction is J 1 freely made that the proposal w 11 be * defeated in the next general eonfer - ence of the Southern Church. How ever, some of the leading figures in i the Church are working diligently and ■ effectively and they may be able to turn the tide in favor of the merger. ; |P. & X. ALMOST CERTAIN TO EX TEND LINE.

Kj&ay by day the public has become ||l|*p*e’ convinced that something was wrong with the story told by the. Un ion county man who charged that he was bound and gagged by four men and criminally assaulted. In bis first report the man said he was mutilated because one member of the gang said he had not paid his grocery bill. We admit there are all kinds of peo ple in this world and some of them are cruel enough to mutilate a man for most any excuse, but it was hard to believe that any one would so abuse a mau because he did not pay his bills. The more this charge was thought ov er by the public the more unreasonable it sounded. Soon after the condition of the man . became known it was rumored here ' that family troubles had something to do with it and now the stepdaughter of the victim of the operation admits that she and the man have had im moral relations for some time, despite , the fact that she is only 15 years old. 1 That sounds more like the truth de spite the fact that her story is denied by the man. Union county people have insisted all along that “Sheriff j Fowler will get the facts” and it ap j pears now that he is getting near the ! cause of the trouble. It is hard to : keep the truth aud tile old adage that I “the truth will out” holds good in most mystery cases. ARRESTED FOR CRIME OF FIVE YEARS AGO Mt. Holly Man Charged With Killing Man From Ambush; Taken to Murphy. Gastonia, Sept. 18.—James Wal drop. alias James Stewart. 40, charged with tile killing of Sam Burgess near Murphy five years ago following a disagreement between the two in re gard to their patrnership in making and selling liquor, was taken to Mur phy today after being arrested at liis home in Mt. Holly whore he had re sided four years with his wife and four children, will employes. His presence at Mt. Holly was learned by Sheriff B. B. Morrow, of Cherokee county, who came after his man. It was stated a reward of $55 was of fered for the man's arrest. Sam* - Burgess, five years ago. was escorting a young school teacher home at Murphy, when, it is alleged, he was shot and killed from abush by AVal drop. Sheriff Morrow stated that although there was strong evidence for a first degree murder trial, it is not probable that one can be held. Witnesses to tile row and killing are now scattered. The imporaant State witnesses are now, in Ojjict, he.^aid. Weekly Cotton Review. New York. Sept. 18.—The buying movement which developed in the cot ton market shortly after the publica tion of the last government crop re port became more active and earlier in the week, evidently stimulated by a fear that the otherwise beneficial rains in the southwest were too vio lent and were doing more damage to open cotton than good to the plant. The lower temperatures reported in eastern belt sections were' considered favorable but it was questioned wheth er there had been any check to de terioration in the drouth area east of the river, and between the two fea tures there seemed a more or less gen eral tendency to scale down estimates of the crop. This was accompanied by reports of a more active demand for cotton goods both at home and abroad, and claims of a steadier spot basis in the South which suggested that spinners were buying against forward require ments. As refleetiton of these con ditions the market sold up to 25.12 for December Thursday morning repre senting an advance of over three cents a pound from the low price touched toward the end of August. At this figure realizing became a fae tor and there were reactions later in the week in consequence while there also appeared to be a little more hedge selling during today's trading. Local brokers attributted the more irregular and rather easier ruling of the market bite in the week to the evening up of commitments in prepa ration for next Wednesday’s govern ment crop reports. The private mid mouth reports so far issued have shown rather a wider range of crop ideas than usual the figures running from about 18.100.000 up to 14.143,- 000 bales, while the majority of the reports have pointed to a condition of around 52 tot 53 with a crop indi cation of around 13,500,000 to 13,- 700.000 bales compared with the Sep tember Ist indication of 13.740,000 bales. With private estimates so far apart there naturally has been more uncer tainty as to the official showing Wed nesday when some traders have pre dicted a lull in spot demand after the filling of September engagements. Ad vices received from Texas late in the week, however, said the basis was about unchanged und there were ru mors of large export commitments for October skipmeut. Should a Woman Propose? Editor New York Mirror: It is de : grading to suggest that women should • have the privilege to propose to roan.

HARRY THAW AGAIN “BURNING UP" BROADWAY New York Asks Why He Is Allowed Freedom Here When Maniacal Kill ers Are Locked Up. \ New York Mirror. r~ Harry K. Thaw is burning up ■ Broadway again. 1 The “Rip Van Winkle of the bright • light district” is bitting it up in a , fashion second only to the pace tie set 26 years ago. when, a “millionaire baby.” he was turned out of Harvard for bambling and Uringing and onto the white light district, where “they don’t care if you do.” Harrison Noel, youthful and insane i kidnapper and double murderer, rt • leased from a New - Jersey insane 1 asylum, is back behind the bars, and ■ it is said he will stay there. The freed maniac who attacked Dr. Mena J. Gregory three night ago is again in the hospital. They say he will stay there. Harry K. Thaw, who is not a po tential murderer, but a nationally es tablished murderer aud who has com mitted other crimes of violence when once freed from the asylum, is stagger ing about Broadway, his bloated face and protruding eyes marking him as I he reels about the night clubs of the ‘"Roaring Forties.” Freed but little more than a year for the second time, Thaw has cut a swath on Broadway that has at tracted more than ordinary attention in a place where swaths are the thing. Borne twelve girls have held for a short time the fickle favor and glit tering gifts of the torturer of rabbits. Yesterday morning at the Del Fay Club, which used to be the El Fay Club and then was something else and which is between 6th and 7th Avenues, on West 54th Street, a no- j table clientele had gathered. Those Present, At one table were Gloria Gould i Bishop .and licri stepmother-, Mrs. j George Gould. At another were! Evelyn Brent and Mrs. Harry Frazce, wife of the ■ producer of- "No, No, Nanette.” At another. Avere : Michael Arlen. author of "The Green Hat," and "Mayfair,'' seated with Ethel Barry more. And next- to them was an empty table “Reserved,” boldly iu place. Texas Gtiinau. most noted of the bright light hostesses, ’ moved about the rooii with - her famous welcom ing itluile. . Thaw Enters. Entered a haggard looking and white haired- man, his bloated face Wnathed in smiles. It was Harry K. Thaw. He moved to the reserved table, flapped, the sign to the tlojog and sqt down. With hinr were .Tames 'Car roll brother of the producer, Earl, of “Vanities" fame, Earl Lindsay, pro ducer of “Gay Paree,” und Don Rob erts. an actor. Harry looked long and rudely at Michael Aden. .Then he began the 1 performance that marked his life be tween 1 and 4 a. in., for days and days. parry took the center of the st age. Why is Harry K. Thaw free? New York Iliad him under locjt and key after the slaying of Wert. It kept ’ilim there until July 14. 1915. j when lie was declared sane by a jury. Just two years later Thaw was arrested here for an attack (akin to the rabbit torture) against one Fred erick Gump, a Kansas City high school boy, whom he had brought to a New York hotel. Thaw fled to Phil adelphia and attempted his own life with a razor. New York sighed with relief when the State of Penn sylvania put him under lock and key in the Pennsylvania Hospital for Men tal and Nervous Diseases. Back He Comes. Then in May of last year came startling news to New York. Thaw was seeking his freedom and it looked as if he might get it. New York | didn't care to have Thaw running around on her streets again and threatened that if he came back here t'.ie Gump indictments would be re newed. This failed to frighten Harry. He came back and beat the charges. (There had been said to have been a settlement with the elder Gump years before for something like $100,600). Harry Thaw was once more on the streets of New - York, and New! York couldn't do anything about I it. But can't she? Why Is He Here? Harry’s home is in Pennsylvania. If Pennsylvanians want him to be free, be can return there. He owns a palatial home in Win chester.

Os course, there will be some half [ a score, or maybe more of the pret-1 I tiest creatures on Broadway who will I mourn his passing, they and those who have found him a fountain of generosity in the matter- of liquid li bations and occasional loans. Fawn Gray might Weep a tear, and there are others he has “played around” with, notably the former Mis. Ed Gallagher, who introduced him to Fawn, Mary Lucas and Margie Whit tington, both of Tex Guinan's "gang,” and even demure little Mrs. Edith, of a Park Avenue address, who denied sqon after Harry's release that she was engaged to him. Easing the way to Harry's “per fqpt time" on the great White Way is the fact that on his release from asylum he found that the fortune he had all but run out in his early career had grown, during his seven teen years in asylums and jails to a total of sl.soo.ooo—and he has an income of $60,000 a year from it. Which, even in thes days on Broad way, goes a little way. He can go back to Winchester— he’s even a member of the fire de partment there—and mayhap can be ; able to quench those he meets in a different fashion than he has chosen TODAY’S EVENTS. Saturday.

Supporting Home Industries. Monroe Enquirer. This newspaper has always preach ed the support of home industries and has repeatedly asked local citizens to patronize local merchants. 111 so do i ing. it is moved to hope that such a common practice will inure to the benefit of all and the general prosper ity. Local merchants should not and do not expect our citizens to pay them higher prices for goods which can be obtained elsewhere at lower cost. They do challenge, however, the accu racy of the comparisons iu prices and what they desire .is fair competition. Cheapness in price is not neces sarily conclusive evidence of a good I purchase. The lasting quality of goods bought can only be determined upon trial. Goods bought by mail from residents of other states have behind tbi»i no immediately available guar antee which our local stores afford. Merchants who comyplain of the mail order evil, should not lose sight of the ease with which a buyer shops by mail. Looking over a catalogue is ] sometimes far easier than asking til ed clerks to display their various ! goods. 4\ riting our an older i' some , times simpler than impending one's j time : n the effort to discover where one can huy au article. The secret behind mail order business lies iu these factors which local stores can over come by convenient arrangement of their goods for the inspection of pos sible buyers aud prompt and cour aeous reception of all customer* by clerks who really show* a welcome. Again it will be necessary for the lo cal firms to let the public know what they have to sell. This may be done !in whatever manner the manager thinks best, but , : t should be done in cessantly and opportunely.
