CONGRESSMAN UPSHAW SPEAKS TO FULL HOUSE Georgia Representative Ad dresses Big Audience On "John and His Hat" Les son of Citizenship. "John and His Hat," was the rather unique subject choosen by Congressman W. 1). Upshaw, the crippled statesman of Georgia, in an address hero Monday night under the auspices of tho Conven. tion Bible class of the First Bantist church. The lecturo proved to be a search ing, sensible message on patriotism and good citizenship. Tho lecture itself had its birth, tho speaker declared, from .that sentence in Henry Grady's great speech at tho University of Virginia, "Teach a man that his sovereignity lies beneath his hut." : 1 John was chosen simply as another name for a citizen,, there being perhaps more Johns than any other name. The speaker regaled the audieneo at tho out set with a roster of Johns from John the Baptist,' John Calyin, John Wesley to Joiin Hancock, John C. Calhoun, John McKnitt Alexander, of Mecklonbera county fame, down to John Carpenter, locally, and John Goode, janitor of the rirst National Bank. 'Mr. Upshaw declared that John, the Citizen, must carry beneath his hat a level head, a patriotic heart, an informed head,, a progressive spirit, a clear tongue an unselfish God-fearing life. , Discuss ing a patriotic hen rt, the speaker paid a glowing tribute to North Carolina's heroic past in the days of the sixties in which her enlisted heroes exceeded the number of her voters. Mr. Upshaw paid a high tribute to Congressman Bulwinklc who introduced him, declaring that the ninth district rep resentative was making a good record for his first year in Congress. He charac terized him a clear-headed, true-hearted lawyer. An amusing feature of the program was the presentation to tho congress man by the Kirby-Warren (Company of a pair of joints and-by the. Carolina Grocery Company of a 100-pound sack of Melrose flour, following his humorous illustration fo Hunday night. The presentation speech was made by Mr. 'Joe S. Wray. Another pleasing feature was the music rendered by the Baptist men's choir, Mrs. F. C. Michael, Misses Izzard, Morris and Poole. The entire program was thoroughly enjoyed. CLAIMS UPSHAW IS NOW ASHEVILLE RESIDENT WASHINGTON', July 16. A brand new one in congressional campaign is sues has been raised against represen tative William IX Upshaw, fifth Georgia (Atlanta) district. It is that Upshaw is not a resident either of the district or' state he repre sents, but has his legal residence in Asheville, N. C, three hundred miles from Atlanta. R. O. , Cochran, Upshaw 's opponent for democratic nomination, quotes from the Asheville city directory: I I pshaw, William JJ., congressman, fifth district of Georgia, T, 121 Board." Upshaw claims an Al Uinta hotel his legal residence and brands Cochran's charges "ridiculous."

TO BE HELD IN READINESS Morrison Issues Proclamation . Declaring That Law Must Be Enforced. t (By Brock Barkley.) RALEIGH, July 17. Four companies of troops from the national guard en campment at Morehead City were mov ing tonight towards railway strike cen ters for duty should hey bo needed to enforce Governor Morrison's deter mination fo "keep the peace every where within this state." Orders for tho removal of the troops from Camp Glenn to posts in close proximity to threatening strike situa tions closely followed a statement by tho governor that tho full military power of the state would bo thrown against those responsible for lawless ness, unless they "at once eomo to order and conduct their causo with argu ment rather than with menace, threats and violence." By tomorrow morning, one company of guardsmen' will be at Wilson, 20 miles from tho sceno . of recent disor ders at tho Rocky Mount Atlantic Coast Line shops; another will bo at Rock ingham, five miles from tho Hamlet Seaboard shops; a third will bo at Raleigh, where the striko situation has been threatening for thrco days, and the fourth, a machino gun company, will be in its home station of Durham. Not for General Duty. None of the troops will bo assigned to guard duty. They are brought from Camp Glenn merely as a, precautionary measuro so as to he "on the job" if military force should bo necessary in preserving order. Following the receipt early this morn ing of an official report from Rocky Mount city officials on Saturday night's trouble there, Govenror Morrison de clined to furnish troops for guard duty; not because the situation did not war rant their presence, he stated, but be cause he believed tho restraining order issued by Federal Judge Conner would be effective with the support of United States marshals. Adjutant General Metis, returning to the city during the night in responso to the governor 's call of Sunday .night, held a lengthy conference with the exec utive this morning. ' Later the two con ferred with railway' and labor leaders. L. V. Bassett, representing the city of Rocky Mount, appeared before the gov ernor and gave n verbal account of con ditions there. Local officials of the Seaboard' pre sented their difficulties here, J,; i . McMahon, chairman of the executive committee of the State Federation of Labor, was called into conference, too, by tho governor. Leaders Try to Preserve Order. After this last conference. Governor Morrison, expressing high confidence in Mr. McMahon and other state leaders, - -.. , ram ii uiu siut urnrtc a ui liiii uinui nntjt frm j I . I nnt KntinirA timthn r i aArilaS would occur. The leaders, will do all within their power to keep striking shopmen and sympathizers from resort ing to any acts of lawlessness or vio lence, it was announced. Tho governor s statement this morn ing, prompted iy tno report from Rocky Mount and by reports of disor ders elsewhere, is emphatic in tho decla ration that lawlessness will not bo tol erated. .Disorders u must cease, regardless of the reasons offered for such lawless conditions. " I shall use every power the state possesses to restore order and to keep tho peace everywhere within this state." The statement was issued about noon. An hour and a half later General Metts was directed to call the four companies from Camp Glenn. A dozen other com panies are still there, in the two weeks' summer encampment, and the action of the executive today indicates that all of them may see a longer period of military duty than they had anticipated unless there is satisfactory response to his declaration of this morning. Rotary Backs Governor OF signifificance in the events for the lay hercv was the endorsement- by the Rotary club at its Monday luncheon ot Uic governor's proclamation and his call o state troops. "Taking no part as to the merits for the controversy and earnestly hoping n adjustment of differanrcs may soon be reached, the Rotary' club of Raleigh wishes to inform the governor of out state that it endorses his declaration to maintain law and order and protcet life and property." Text of Proclamation The governor's proclamation in . fall reads : "The sheriffs of Xki and-Edgecomb counties and the mayor of Rocky Moll nt have applied to me, for reasons set forth, in written paper filed, to send troops to the town of Rocky Mount to uphold the law. These oflifficers state the situation i such that the forces at their command arc inadequate to cope with the situation. "T am satisfied, as the situation now stands, tliat disorders and threats of vio- lence of such character as the officers state exists, and I would order troops to the situations instantly but for the j fact that his honor, H.

Captain White, commanding the statu constabulary, "quickly sent a force into tho hills, but they returned empty hand ed. A terrific rainstorm broke imme diately after the alarm was given, and Captain White expressed the belief that it had scattered the crowd. This was only one of tho many alarms between midnight and dawn. In every instance, however, they. have proved false and not a shot has been fired in tho vil lage since tho battle terminated ' early yesterday. Acting on orders from Sheriff Tom Duval, who is filling his dead father's place, the tent colony of striking miners and their families, near tho mine, was abandoned early today. State troopers made the rounds of the tents and notified the men and women that they must movo out without delay.. They lost no time in olieying the order, taking nothing but food with them.

They then, turned tehir attention to the other man who said lie was Stcvo Timcndi, a miner of vella. Ho declared that he had been compelled to join tho march and had' taken no part . in the fighting. Questioned as to how he camo by his broken arm, he said that he was lying in the weeds above the tipple when he was shot and that he was not even armed. Deputy Sheriffs, however, said they recognii!edfiim as one of the at tarkers who was very active in the shoot ing t the tipple.
