DOZIER, ROCK HILL, GOING
North Carolina Delegates To
Be Quartered At St.
Charles Hotel.
' NEW ORLEANS,' Aug. 30. When
members of the American Legion gather
in New Orleans next October for their an
nual convention they will mingle with
the greatest heroes of the World War.
Convention ofiivials have announced that
all wearers of the congressional medal
of honor, he highest American decora
tion fof bravery, have been invited, as
distinguished guests to the convention
and that twenty-two heroes have already
accepted tho invitation. , ;
The niedal of honor men will receive
all honors accorded to the most distin
guished guests during the five days ot
the convention. Their expenses to the
convention, and return will be paid by
the Legion.. They will be housed in the
best hotels and will review the conven
tion parade in the stand reserved for 'dis
tinguished guests.
Only combat soldiers can receive the
medal of honor and. it is not granted for
ordinary bravery displayed in "sticking
it out" through a heavy barrage' or the
storming of. aa enemy trench. The sol
dier who obtain this honor is cited
"for conspicuous gallantry above and
beyond the call for duty in action with
the ctteuiy." Thousands of American sol
diers performed feats of heroism which
would have won the highest medals .from
any other allied power, but the American
congressional medal is reserved for super-heroes.

LOCAL COAL PROBLEM
' NOT VERY BRIGHT
Railroad Strike Is Keeping
Local Dealers From Getting
Their Contracts Filled- Ad
ams Ice Plant Without Coal
To ' Keep . Open -Gastonia
Ice and Coal Co. Has 200
Tons On Hand.'
"Tlie "ffiought of Gastonia !s winter sup-
'y Of coal, where it is coming from,
he price that will have to be paid, and
how long will it be before deliveries, all
of these queries are ringing through the
minds, of local consumers. The railroad
transportation problem seems to bo pkiy
injr a 'big part in the local situation. It
looka at the present time that wtiaf coal
can be bought from local dealers will be
so high that housewives will be ablo to
buy very, little and that will be upsed
with, much care. The : urchin - of the
famil who generally lias to "tote" the
hods of black stuff day in and day out
will "not .have so much work to do this
coming winter 'and he will doubtless be
working under strict orders to shovel
with care, v .
In talking the matter over with Mr.
Harrv Alams. manager of the Adams
Ice and Coal Company, a representative
of The Daily Gazette found that trans
portation was playing the biggest part
with the plant.
we have regular contracts with the
mines. Five cars of block coal were
shipped to us on August 5, but so far
they have not shown ui here," stated
the manager. "In my opinion," he con
tinued, "It is a questioii of the railroads
doing their part. The mines are ready
to fill all orders but the cars are not
ffettintr through the strike districts." Mr.
Adams further stated that he had only a
three days' supply of fuel on hand. The
lee plant will prolwbly close 'down to- j
night on account of tne? lack of coal.
However, the company expects a car to
come in at any time, iso the shut-down
will be for only a short period.
- A visit to the Gastonia Ice and Coal
plant disclosed the fact that that concern
has some coal on haml. Mr. Campbell re
marked that his coal was coining in regu
larly but that the mines were asking big
prices for their product. M Prices on
steam coal at the maws have been quot
ed as high as $7 per ton," stated Mr.
Campbell to the reporter. One car or
block coal shipped from St. Charles, Vir
ginia, to the Gastonia plant on the fourth
dav of Aueust has not shown up yet. The
company now has two hundred tons of
coal in their yards, most of which is
block. Four ears of extra select coal ;s
standing on the C. & N.-W. tracks billed
to a Chester, S. C, soal dealer. -
In aumminz nn the local coal problem,
it aDDears to the writer that the whole
proposition lies with, the strike situation
on the railroads. With the mines ready
awl willing to fill all their orders, the
shortage of. cars and the general tie-ups
of shipments are the only things to pre
ven t a generous supply of winter fuel
for local homes. '

MASONS HONOR OLDEST.
MEMBER IN COUNTY
Several Hundred Gather At
Dallas Where Past Master's
Jewell Is Presented To J. R.
Lewis, Fifty-Three Years a
Mason.
DALLAS, Aug. :. ISO. An occasion
such as that of Tuesday night in Dallas
when several hundred Masons from over
the county aascinbled'to pay honor and
respect to a worthy member, the oldest
Mason in the county , and so far as
known in tiie Htute, was a scene most
touching. It was a injuring out of the
spirit of brotherly love that words are
madequato to express. Heated on the
rostrum in "the auditorium of 'the (,-ity
hall were visiting Past Master C. M
Kobiimon, of Lowell; P. W. Garland
and rrank Costner, of Gastonia; W J
T. Ktyers,. of Cherryville; M. Harmon,
of Bessemer City; Dr. ,S. A,. Wilkins,
r . 11. Hobmson, J: Ii. Gribble. J. R.
Lewis, iE. .Li. llouwcr and the present
Worshipful 'Master, GV C. Craig, of
Gaston Lodge Ko: ."3. 4' .;
Mr. CriiiK stated briefly the puriuise
or the gattieruig and presented Junior
Warden E. I,. Houser, who acted as
master of ceremonies and iu his usual
easy and congenial manner., bid the
guests si most hearty welcome to this
city where the latch struig not only
hangs on the outside but is entirely
elinuuateil, a welcome back to the
mother lodc from which the several
other-lodges of the county had their
origin and who have proven themselves
worthy children deserving the greatest
commendations.
Mr. John G. Carpenter, of Gastonia,
was then presented and for some time
reflected upon the scenes , once enacted
within those walls of sacred memory
and of history where he first recited
the . A B C's of his profession, where
is . appy boyhood days were spent, where
hospitality is unexcelled and where all
doors then and now stand wide okn
and all gates removed that nothing bars
a whole hearted welcome. Recalling
also, as did, those around him, the night
of his initiation into the secrets of the
Mattohic order, an institution of - high
ideals and lofty ' standards for human
living with first aim to uplift the indi
vidual life and to stand guard to the
honor and protection of womanhood and
childhood of our land and country.
Highest tribute was paid Mr. J. B.
Lewis iu presentation of the honor
badge, a past master's jewel, that his
long life of service to his fellow men,
his large and honored family, had con
tributed more wealth to his country,
county and city than all the money of
a multi-millionaire. He was the oldest
Mason- in years but not in spirit and
from the innermost recesses of ffvery
heart present came the joy of paying
homage to 0110 so much loved and
honored.
'Mr. Lewis gratefully accepted this
jewel and feelingly expressed his pleas
ure of this honor conferred upon him.
It was November, J 86U, fifty-three years
ago, that he joined the ranks of - Ma
sonry, An opportunity was given those
from the various lodges for a few min
utes talk which brought out the fact
that "Uncle Jimmie," as he is well
known to all, plnyel a prominent part
iu coaching many in Gaston county into
the degrees of this order.
Junior Warden Houser also stated that
frprh these various talks he had come
to 'the , conclusion that everybody who
had ever ' amounted to anything had
either lived-iu Dallas at one time, are
living here now, or had at least passed
through. . Dallas may be slow, but she
lias beared noble sons and daughters
who have, gone throughout the county
CHtttblisiug new domiciles, attaining the
highest in their professions, joining the
ranks of progress and pushing Gaston
county where she .stands today.-: That

NORTH CAROLINA PLANTS
ARE SUFFERING FROM
THE SCARCITY OF COAL
Mount Holly Brick Plant May
Be Forced To Shut
v- Down.
SITUATION IS CRITICAL
Coolness Of Administration
Toward North Carolina Laid
To Morrison's Attitude.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. The
clamor from North Carolina for coal has
become loud and persistent, and many of
those who ask for it get but little com
fort here. There is a faint suspicion
here tbut the national administration is
just a little cool to North Carolina peo
ple because of Governor Morrison's orig
inal declaration on the coal strike. It
will be recalled that Mr. Morrison was
tho first governor to tell the president
that he could not join in his plan for
handling the dispute. It is ascertained
daily in private in Washington (that the
states that do not become quite active' in
this situation and control profiteers and
others will find an aloofness in federal
circles.
Running Short Of Coal. '
A striking instance -of what is going
on here is that of N. B. Kendrick, a
contractor, wiht headquarters at Mount
Holly. Mr. Kendrick has the contract
to build the new series of schoolhouses
in Lincoln county. .. He has run out
of coal to manufacture the brick for
his construction work. He'Vame here
today and went with Representative
Bulwinkie to the fuel authorities, and
was told outright that he could not have
the coal he Bought.
Hundreds of manufacturing plants
are cither out of coal or running short
on it. The Barnes oil mill, of Dunn,
today wired Senator Overman that it
was having "considerable.. rdublo secur
ing coal to run its ginnery and oil mill
and asking his assistance to get some
coal at a reasonable price."
Senator Overman replied that the mat
ter would have to be taken up with
R. O. Self, the state fuel administrator,
Mr. Overman is helpless in the present
situation. His mail is full of urgent
requests for coal. He received a tele
gram from the Cliffside mills, at Cliff
side, Rutherford county, saying that -if
they could not get coal moving to them
at once they would have to close down,
throwing 1.50U people; out; of work.
He was told that Cliffside people -had
placed an order with' a Virginia coal
mine, and could' get a supply if the fed
eral administration would permit its
shipment. On. taking . this matter up
with Fuel Administrator Spencer Mr.
Overman was directed to refer it to
Mr. Self.
Strenuous Times Are Due.
The coal and rail strikes have passed
the joking stage. Very strenuous times
are due. Tho scramble for coal prom
ises to be great. Thousands of inno
cent workers will be out of work be
cause of the tie-up in coal and trans
portation. Communications coming to
congressmen indicate that the public
generally is getting tired of the annual
hold-up iu coal, and will demand con
sideration for the consumer. Nothing
else that has happened here in many
years has served to disgust ' the -public
as the two strikes now under way.
President Harding has lacked Backbone
to save the people from the present
crisis. It looks tonight as if more
drastic measures would be adopted.
Attorney General Daugherty, the dis
trict attorneys of North Carolina, along
with others, have been ordered to inves
tigate and prosecute and report to the
president cases of sabotage. He de
clared that the trains must be kept
going. His lieutenants who arc con
versant with the Spencer situation ex
pect indictments there for conspiracy to
interfere with interstate commerce. The
same law that G rover Cleveland used in
the famous Debs case is being applied
now.

COTTON MARKEA QUIET.
NE WYORK, Aug. 30. The cotton
market opened at a decline of one point
to an advance of 5 points and sold about
7 to 10 points net lower right after tho

and liquidation by old longs who were
probably influenced by slightly easier
Liverpool cables. There was no improve
ment in the general character of the
crop news while there seemed to be
rather more hope of an early settlement
of the coal strike, and after selling at
22.62, December contracts soon rallied
to 22.66 on covering. Private cables
from Liverpool reported hedging easily

. UNUSUAL BASEBALL GAME.
(By Associated Press.)
COLUMBIA, S. C, Aug. 30. An
unusual game of partial game will be
played here tomorrow afternon between
the Charlotte and Columbia teams of the
South Atlantic Association... when play
will be started in olumbia 's half of the
seventh inning with two out and runners
on third and second base.
The event is brought about as a re
sult of a protest of the rst game of a
double header played here on June 2S,
last, when rain stopped play. The um
pire, after waiting 40 minutes, ordered
the second game played and ruled that
the first game should not be played out.
A protest by the Charlotte management
was upheld by President Walsh and play
is to begin at the point where the game
was stoniied. The same line uds as far
as possible are to be used. The players !
who have replaced those taking part in
that game will be substituted.
