Powerful Organization. Umler Ar

York. Dpo. —Half n him-'
(lro<l pru’.tibilion ugents, deputy Unit
ed States marshals and special patrol
men today rallied the i ffices of u fi
tpinr ring which prohibition agents
said was the largest in the history of
prohibition and was tile •■backbone of
Rum Row."
- A syndicate which controlled 18
ocean steamers in cap liquor trade,
bribed const guard officers wholesale
and had its own secret service sys
tem for watching the movement of
federal officers was said to have been
broken up by the raiders, whose first
roundup of the day netted lit* men
hud whose principal 'captive whs'
"Rill" Dwyer, alleged head of the
syndicate.
Ring Deader Caught.
i The ring's activities were said to
I have been responsible for bringing
millions of dollars worth of liquor
into this, country annually. Dwyer,
arraigned before Judge Goddard on
a specific <'large of conspiring last
July to bring 4.038 oases of liquor
into the country hidden in the bunk
ers of the stehmshin Augusta, was
held in $10,0(H) bail.
Immediately after the raid. Major
Walton A. Green, chief assistant of
General Lincoln , Andrews, dis
patched the following message to his
chief:
“Reg to report capture of Dwyer
and his. principal assistants. Korty
oue warrants out and biggest round
up in history of prc'aibltion enforce
ment stil| in progress."
The activities of the ring were de
scribe:! by Assistant United States
Attorney Silitohman, when lie advised
the court to ask heavy bail for
Dwyer.
How They Did It.
“Government employes, low-salaried'
men, were feasted and entertained
\\uth wine, women and song," he said.
“The ring maintained headquarters in
the East River National Hank build
[ ing. in s Times Square, in a building
! on Lexington Avenue, in the Grand
i Central Terminal, and at St. Alban's
| Montauk Point, and Hempstead. L.1.,
i It also bail Offices in Albee's Theatre
building in Brooklyn ' and in New
London, Conn.”
Indicating Dwyer. Mr. Xtiehman
| said:
I "This man is the leading figure
| against: which the energies As the
I prohibition department in this case
l have been directed,
i “By him various const guard offi
-1 cials have been bribed. In the Au
[ gttsta case his. agents did the bribing
Hint rile vessel was aHolvved to prq
[ deed up the river to Yonkers,
i "For .more than two years coast
' guard boats have been in the pay'
of this defendant.”
Mi:. Dwyer was described ns a
j “mail so powerful, so wealthy and so
i influential that lie not only wns able
j to put government employes on bis
i payroll, but to mnimnin a secret
i service that rivalled our own."
I Mr. Stichmnn said government
agents were trailed from Washington
when they came here, were met at
[ the station and then trailed about
town.
Federal Attorney Buckner said the
, sweeping roundup was the result of
three months’ investigation minder the
personal supervision of Geueral An
. drown and Major Green and had been
done by specially selected “under
1 cover” men from Washington and
other points acting in close co-opera
tion with the local federal attorney’s
ffices. Mr. Buckner added that the
investigators had been greatly aided
1 by members and officers of the coast
guard who had resisted and resented
the temptations constantly" offered by
the defendants.
We Can Beat Muscle Shoals on Our
Own Farms
S. S. Dunlap, in ‘Progressive
Farmer.
I notice in The Progressive Farm
er Hie very enlightening and forcibly
written article by Mr. Eugene Butler
on tilt Muscle Shirt's question.
My private opinion, is that if farm
ers arc allowing themselves to lose
any sleep over the mnt'.er of cheap
fertilizer and how soon they will get
it from Muscle Shoals, they are wast
ing good live body tissue that should
be more profitably used.
It is remarkable how slow We are
to uti'ize present opportunity and how
prone we are to expect something
both large and great from a distant
and remote proposition. We can all
| sow winter legumes and summer leg
| times such as coxvpeas, soybeans, etc.,
| but we neglect these sure-fire pre
-1 seriptioiia for a ,good rich soil and
( continue to wonder if Henry Font
will get Muscle Shoals so lie can
| start making nitrates to help us grow
| crops!
| Mr. George A. Marsh said recently
I in ail article in the Monroe Enquirer
| that his experience on his farm proved
| that $lO worth of clover seed sowed
i at the right time and in the right
! manner with the growth turned un
! der the following spring is worth to
the farm and the crop as much as
SIOOO invested in commercial ferti
\ fixers in the spring. Think of it!
i This would be the same as buying
1 nitrate' of soda at $5 per ton mid
, neither Mr. Ford, nor any other man
i or set of men is going to get it from
\ Muscle Shoals, Chile, or anywhere
else at any such price as that. And
not only has Mr. Marsh proved these
things by actual test but scores, of
others have done and are doing the
same thing in Union county and nil
over Dixie.
We do not know what kind of soil
dope Mr. Ford or whoever gets M.uscle
Shoals is going to get out of the Ten
nessee River, but one thing is certain :
Nothing to equal growing nitrogen- 1
-fixing crops in the land will come from
there or anywhere else, and certainly
not at a Coßt of only $5 per ton.

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE

1 Fanners’ Union Head, in Annua!
Adt'rcss, Champions the Australian
, Ballolt.
. Raleigh. Dec. —lnadequate pay of
the membership in (lie general as
sembly automatically has driven the
farmer ns a class from legislative
> halls. President R. W. 11. Stone, of
the Farmers' Union, ii 'convention
here, said today, and the presidential
. recommendation for increased pay of
! leg Dialers was the most startling
. tiling in hr, address.
■ Tlie uni-.n is going to make an in
qiliiy into the cost of schools- and of j
■ ■ government generally, and the survey
I will also determine what sort of eiti
zehe t.he present plan of government
i ttitne out. The union is strong for
f| the secret ballet "and President Stone
'] championed die Max Gardner measure
heartily. There was no champion
ship of Mr. Gardner,
i The convention met in the Central
t Labor Union's hall on Hargett street
• and I)r. .T. M. Templeton, of Cary,
. welcomed tile body, fermor President
t H. Q. Alexander responding. In the
afternoon President C. P. Barringer.
■ of tlie State Federation rs Labor,
brought greetings. Much of the work
- is done in executive session. But
today Miss Hattie Berry talked to
1 the farmers on farm credits, and
George Ross, of the division of mar
■ kets, on marketing. President Stone
i was entirely sympathetic with die
schools, but he thinks they come high.
1 And 'he isn't a cheap man. He raised
■ seriously the question of Hfeislative
puy and said frankly that it is utter
ly inadequate and. productive of the ,
wrong sort of legislation.
One of the chief matters to come
; before the union at this meeting will
be an inquiry into the educational
system of the state. "We want to
know what kiiuf of citizens the
schools are turning pnt," Mr. Stone
■ said. “They say that we ought to
1 put more money into education, hut |
we want to know first what tSiey
are doing with it and what kind of
citizens they are turning out.” One
bond issue after another is being piled
on the shoulders of the people of the
state, president Stone said in his ad
r dress, and expenses keep inereasing.
There are two things which as a
farmer he thinks must be done. The
farmers of the state must find bet
ter markets and they musk secure
government aid at a linger price.
Farmers need to learn better meth
ods of business, the president of the
unitn believes. They must study the
conditions of the market with a view
to supply and demand and must plant
intelligently to market intelligently.
Tile farmers, he said, must organize
for their own protection and the ben
efit of mankind.
■ One time while crossing a railroad
a wagon and team was run down by
the train. In action for damages
the most importnant witness was of
course the signal man himself. He
stuck right to bis story in spite of
(•rotes examination. He iiersisted
That lie had waved his lantern frant
ically. but the driver wouldn’t stop.
"Y'ou sure did fine." The superin
tendent told the old watchman. “I
was a bit afraid «t first you might
waver, Tom„bat you didn't."
NNot me." said the old man proud
ly. “But I sure was g’.ad when they
didn't ask me if tlie lantern was lit."

From "Forum Topics" Column in
Winston-Salem Journal.
A Winston-Salem friend of Sidney
B'ackmer, the former Salisbury boy
who has been making such a reputa
tion the past few years ns a theatrical
star, received a nu'ssage from him a
few days ago stating, that the p'ny
in which he lias been starring tliis
season, "The Carolinian." closed a
successful .season Saturday night one
week ago au(l that he was leaving for
n brief rest nt Miami, Fla. He did
net -late any further plans in the
message but it is assumed thnt he
wi'l appear us a star in a new pro
duction' to be put on around the first
of the year.
Mr. Blaekmer’s first real success
as a -tar was in "Not So Long Ago,"
nt thi‘ Booth Theater in New York,
several years ago. Since that time
lie has appeared in "The Mountain
Man." “Searainouche,” and other
widely known attractions. His work j
has been given much favorable com-!
merit by theatrical 'critics and the j
theater-going public.
Quite a number of local citizens'
remember Mr. Blaekmer as a student
some years ago at the University ,of
North Caro'inn. He has been an oc
casional visitor to Win«t'n-Sa'.em
since ibat time His theatrical man
ager is Charles L. Wagner, widely
known in musical and theatrical cir
cles. who is direefing the tour of
Will Rogers and the De-Ileszko sing
ers ibis season. For a number of
years he managed the concert tours
of John McCormack and Galii-Curei,
as well as other stars in the world

Florda tourist highway known on flip

on thp Ktato map as No. 2ti. will not
lip divprtpil by Salisbury, but will run
straight from Elkin across western
Yadkin through Statesville and
Mooresville to Charlotte.
It was roportpd some tintp ago that
tourists traveling over this highway
across North Carolina would enter
the State'beyond Sparta, eome through
that town, roaring (Jap and Elkin t .
Statesville, and then would bo rout
ed to Charlptte via Salisbury.
Highway Commissioner Wilkinson
of Charlotte objected to changing the
highway from the straight route. And .
now tlu* Charlotte Observer says: ■
! “The maps objected to by C'ommis- i
sinner Wilkinson will not be issued. So j
that ends one controversy. The road t
will be officially mapped from Cleve- ]
land, ()., through Statesville and j
Charlotte to Jacksonville. Fla., ns No. !

the State, will carry new numbers ac- i
cording to the National scheme, but '
they will also carry the familiar State i
numbers. Thus No. 26 will be known ■
Nationally as No. 21. It will carry ;
both the National and State markers j
as will No. 10. across State from i
Beaufort to Murphy, and all other ]
i established State roads. Thus our i
State highways are in for a double 1
