GREGORY SPEAKER AT MOOR’S CREEK BRIDGE Says Spot is One of Most Historic in all the United States. (By Staff Correspondent) Moore’s Creek Bridge Battleground. Aug. 24.—“ We are assembled here upon one of the most historic spots, not only in North Carolina, but in all America,” said Mrs. Edwin C. Gregory, of Salisbury, state regent of the North Carolina Daughters of the American Revolution, in addressing the gathering today in connection with the dedication of the Moore’s Creek Bridge Battleground, and its presentation to the federal govern ment as a military reservation for perpetuity. Mrs. Gregory presided over the ceremonies, for it has been due to the efforts of the D. A. R. in the state thnl the thirty acres of battleground is being donated to the government. In her address Mrs. Gregory modestly retains from men tioning the part the D. A. R. played and gives abundant credit to Congress man C. h. Abernethy, of New Bern; Senator Dec S. Overman and George Moore, president iof the Moore’s Creek Bridge Association, for their efforts, both in and outside of Congress, in making Moore’s Creek Bridge Battle ground into a national park. Mrs. Gregory spoke in part as follows: “This is sacred ground, hallowed and christened by the blood of im mortal heroes who fought that mo mentous Revolutfonary butt he than which no other possessed more strate gic importance and which went far in making possible the successful cam paign in the South, thus paving the way for the ultimate American tri umph at Yorktown. “Today is a crowning one for those who have labored so faithfully and long and with such ferveqt spirit and patriotism to secure proper national and governmental recognition of that battle. It is perhaps impossible for those not closely associated with the project to realize 4be•amount of time, self-sacrifice anif'initiative given to the project by those interested in the undertaking.” Here Mrs. Gregory paid especial tribute to the untiring work done by Congressman Abernethy and Moore’s Creek Association, in behalf of the battleground. “We desire to pay all honor atid high tribute to everyone, whether in legislative halls or national organisa tion or private associations, who has had any part in this enterprise,” Mrs. Gregory continued. “I think I ex press the fellings of our president-gen eral as I do my own, when I say bow happy bhe and I‘are that it was dur ing our administrations that the gov ernment placed around this historic spot the arm of its protection by mak ing it a national park. “Let us hofte that from this day forward our fcftat mother State will recall from the four corners of the , globe her sons and daughters to cele brate the anniversary of this momen tous day.

It impresses upon us that there is in all the world no more glorious history than North Car olina's. Let us translate the mean ing into our hearts and let our ser vice to our state, home and country be such as to prove ourselves more worthy of our precious heritage.” Particular attention was called to the monument erected in honor of Mary Slocumb, the first shaft erected in this country to a woman of the Revolution, and supreme patriotrtis of North Carolina,,.because it symbolized “the highest emotion of the human aonl—that of hero worship properly applied.” • Mra. Gregory concluded her ad dress with an eloquent tribute to the American flag, saying that the flags of ail other nations had at some time been incarnHined with the blood of millions of their fellowmen. “But not so Old Glory I It has no such baleful hiatory or blood stained escutcheon.

BOST WILL PAY $3,500 AND COSTS Agrees to Pay All Costs in Two Cases Including the Cost of Bringing Venire From Mecklenburg. A compromise in the civil suit brought against Martin Boat by rela tives of Jesse Vanderburg, slain by Host several years' ago, resulted in a dismissal of all charges against Bost in the criminal proceedings instituted, by the State. When the case was called in Cabar rus Superior Court this morning coun sel for Bost entered a nolo contendere t plea, which was accepted by Solicitor Zeb V. Long. It was explained in this connection b.v the solicitor that , he had accepted tills plea by the de fense upon agreement b.v Rost to pay 1 $3,500 to the widow of Vanderburg and aTI costs in the cases, both crira- I inn I and civil. In open court Judge I’. A. McElroy. presiding at the present term of court, . stated that after reading the evidence in the two trials of Bost and the decisions of the Supreme Court, he » did not understand how verdicts of manslaughter had been rendered b.v I the juries which ’had heard the evi . deuce. He stated further that in his opinion the compromise was a just - so’ntion to the ease. i It was rumored in the court house - flint in view of the Supreme Court ■ decisions the State felt that a eonvic • tion of Rost would not be secured. ■ Tt was further hinted Chat the State accepted the compromise so Mrs. Van ! derburg could get the money it being , certain that should Bost be freed in ; the criminal ease no jury would give her damages in the civil notion which she instituted some time ago. Sheriff Cochran, of Mecklenburg county, reported to the court house 1 here early this morning with the ve .UitP of JjK met: nrflsiwd, Saturday % Judge McFTlro.v. Several minor eases were disposed of early today and the Bost ease was called about 10:30. The motion of nolo contendere was made immediately after the was enlled and was accepted hr tb- ‘state. Sheriff Cochran nnd his veniremen returned to Mecblcnlvrv -s soon as thev received their attenden-s nay. The court house -van -.raked when the case was cn’Vi and th- —teome evidently surprised s maf’rity 0 f those present. Y*MV • "nt of a compromise had been hc-d the de tails of the plan were -«♦ ’—own and few in the vast threns had any idea thnt the case was not to be rehearsed again before n jury. Judge McElroy 5- his r’atement from the bench ind ! —*ed that Lie did not think Bost con’d h" convicted He said he did not roe, offer reading the evidence of the *v-o and the two decisions of the Sunr-me Court, which granted Bost new trials, how he could be convicted of manslaughter. Disposal of this case leaves the court free to start on the civil docket. Several civil eases were tried Monday, most of them being divorce suits, but regular work on the calendar was he’d up pending the trial of the Bost case. The court order for disposition of the ease reads: “Defendant enters a plea of nolo contendere to the charge of man slaughter, which plea the Solicitor ac cepts. “In this case it appearing to the Court that the administrator of the deceased man has brought suit against the defendant for damages and that that action has been compromised and judgment entered against the defend ant in the sum of $3,500.00, and the defendant having entered a plea of nolo contendere to the charge of man alaughter. and the Solicitor for the State haring recommended that judg ment be suspended on the payment of the costs of this nction and of the judgment in the civil action, the Court now orders that judgment be suspend , ed on payment of the costs of this action and of the judgment in the civil action, including the costs of a special venire summonefl at this term of the court from Mecklenburg county.” Keep 20-Year-Old Appointment. London. Aug. 24.—A romantic tryst, made between three boy friends twehty years ago, and signed, boyish fashion, in blood, had its fulfillment in London a few days ago, when three modern musketeers kept their youthful vows to each other by meeting in Tra falgar Square. Unknown to throng ing passers-by the three men—since apprentices together, now every one married nnd prosperous—foregathered near the base of the Nelson monu ment, each wearing a carnation in his buttonhole as a means of identifica tion should time’s changes have made it necessary. The twefity-year-old appointment had been made for 5:80 p. m. Prompt ly to the minute the three approached and recognized and greeted one anoth er with a warmth—not altogether un touched with emotion —that their long separation had only served to enhance. During the twenty years there hsd been no meeting or communication among the three. \ CONCORD, N, C., TUESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1926 Mentioned for the Presidency, * O WU/DEN \k/IU/IAM E‘.

MORE THAN HUNDRED > WOULD BE LAWYERS I Between 130 and 140 Stood Examina tion For Law Licenses in State. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel * Raleigh. Aug. 24.—A1l set to awe ! the North Carolina Supreme Court with their profound and extensive i knowledge of matters legjtl, between ! 130 and 140 embryo attorney* -flocked | to the Hall of the House here yester i day and opened fire on the State bar | examinations. " Nervousness, admitted j by some and stoutly denied by others I who leaned toward the philosophy of | the late Emile Coue, was the order of i the day. For seven hours the applicants I poured out their knowledge upon white 1 paper. Faced with sixty-six ques tions, the correct answer of fourty- ' four of these being required for pass- < ing, the would-be lawyers performed i a full day’s work. “It’s hard hut l it’s fair.” was the general comment i of the students. Included in the class of applicants : were twenty-odd law students from I Washington who were drawn to the i North Carolina bar by remarks of William Beal, former Tar Heel, which 1 were interpreted to mean that the lo- ; cal examination was a meeca for I). C. also-rans. Several of these ad- c mitted that they had tried and failed I the district examinations, said to be i one of the hardest in the country, sev era I times. 1 When they first arrived in Raleigh t and discovered the publicity that had f preceded their arrival, the Washing- f ton students vouchsafed fear that the f Supreme Court would be very strict in grading their papers. However, t they were soon quieted when it was 1 pointed out that the papers were i graded by number and that the Su- I preme Court justice who would de- j termine their fitness for practice was i neither interested nor concerned in ( their name or address, they breathed I easier. i Though Justice Herriott Clarkson ( was in charge of the examination, it 1 is the general opinion here that it 1 was the work of all five members of the court, each justice' propounding ( those questions with phases of law about which he is most interested. This has probably been the practice for some time though each class of applicants is always very interested in knowing who is going to “give the bar.” Results of the examination will not be announced for several days.

STEVENSMAKES ANUUAL REPORT Shows That Legion Has Made Great Strides in North Carolina During Past Several Years. Hickory, N. C.. Aug. 24.—(4>) The World War was fougbt under the Great Illusion that the victorious na tion would emerge from the conflict less ravaged and less broken econom ically than the defeated forces, de clared Josephus Daniels, war secre tary of the navy, in an address here today before the Bth annual conven tion of the North Carolina Depart ment of the American Legion and the Woman’s Auxiliary. Post-war Condi tions, he said, offer proof enough of the falsity of the supposition that “plenty and peach and happiness come to the victors of a mighty struggle at arms.” Department Commander Henry L. Stevens. Jr., consumed most of the time prior to Mr. Daniels’ speech with his report which told of the remarka ble strides made by the state organi zation this year. He said that while the National Commander placed the :membershl(> goal for this state at 13,000, "a great b g voice that sounded good,” the de partment now has a total of 0,700 members. That is the largest in the history of the organization, the Com mander said. He recommended that departmental officers stay in power until adjourn ment of the National Convention, and that the Department Commander be the bend of the delegation at the nat ional meeting. Commander Stevens said the department was in the finest financial condition it had ever been, and thut there was a closer friendship among the Legionnaires. Mr. Daniels began his address shortly after the address of Com mander Stevens, and the large audi torim was parked to capacity. Naval and Army officials before the war, he asserted, thought Norman Angell, the man who first contended “that in any war (if the future the victor would reap no more benefits than the vanquished,” was a dreamer. They laughed at his suggestion and termed it “absurd.” “If you should today embark with Europe as your destination what pan orama would your eyes behold as you Sailed in an aeroplane over the na tions engaged in that titanic strug gle? Grave on grave,” continued the former secretary of the navy, "in scores of cemeteries would mark how blood was poured out by millions sac rificed to a Great Illusion. You would see lands still sodden and deso late by the ravages of war in France and Belgium where the hell of war flamed. In Flanders' Field, in parts of France and elsewhere you would find poppies grow’ng where you there saw devastation in 1918. But if ns your craft carried you beyond the Rhine and into the German and Aus trian countries, you would see no trace of destruction of houses or the dev astation of fields or the demolition of great industrial plants. “If you were a visitor from Mars and someone should tell you that bloody war raged from the Mediter ranean to the North Sea over ail that terrain, which country would you re gard as the victor from traces of dev astation—France or Germany? With out a moment’s hesitation you would point to the unharmed fields of Ger many as evidencing the blessings that come from victory, and the sears of France as proof of a country that lias been sorely wounded.” OWNERS NOW RUNNING THE MOREHEAD VILLA No Reason Given For Cancellation of Contract With Operating Com pany.
