Sparrow and Henderson Ex
press Appreciation Of Farm
ers at Being Present.
At the regular meeting of the Gas
tonia Khvanis Club held at the Country
Club Tuesday evening a new departure
was instituted, some fifteen or twenty
farmers of the Union neighborhood be
ing present as invited guests of the club.
At future meetings it is planned to
invite farmers of other sections from
time to time until the entire county has
been covered the object being to, bring
about a closer co-operation and a spirit
of community of interest between the
business men of the city and the busi
ness men of the rxiral districts of the
county. , '
Tuesday night '$ meeting was in
charge of the banker members, with
John M. Miller, III, cashier of the Citi
zens National Bank, presiding. There
was an unusually largo attendance of
members and guests, aud every moment
of the meeting, which lasted for nearly
two hours was alive with interest and
amusement.
The hit of the eveuing was a bur
lesque on banking,, in which Ken Glass
impersonated a pompous banker, some
Pierpont Morgan of local financial cir
cles, and heard the pleas of various
members who were anxious to secure
loans, though usually without any ac
ceptable collateral. The most -successful
of all these applicants was Perk Thomp
son, impersonating one W. C Krout,
now well known in Gnat on ia banking
circles. 80 anxious was tho local banker
to extend every, possible courtesy and
accommodation to a prosperous looking
new eustmer that tho applicant was
allowed to deposit ten thousand dollars
in checks whichlater proved to be for
geries and was given five thousand' of
His deposit in cool cash. - , -
Past President B. Orady Rankin ex
pressed the welcome of the club to the
special guests of the evening, assuring
them of the desire of the club that the
business men of the city, of whom the
members of the Kiwanis Club form a
representative part, deeply appreciate
the co-operation and support of the
farmers in every movement for the up
' building of tho county as a whole.
Responses . were made by Thomas
Sparrow, proprietor of., the Sparrow
Dairy Farm, and L. L. Henderson, one
of Union's most successful farmers.
Mr. Sparrow's remarks dwelt chiefly on
the proposed creamery movement. He
told of conditions which would make a
general trend away from cotton raising
and toward dairying a great benefit to
the whole county if provision could. bo
made to take care of the small pro
ducer, as a co-operative creamery would
do. The change would not only set
the farmer free from all tho hazards
of cotton farming, but would improve
trade conditions with the merchants and
business men of all tho towns in the
county. Henco the movement should be
a mutual one, receiving tho support both
of the farmers and the business men
of all sections of the. county.
Mr. Henderson spoke of tho growing
appreciation of the fact that a spirit of
co-operation between the business men
of the city on one hand and the farm
ers, who are the business men of the
rural -districts, on the other, would be
mutually beneficial to both. In tho!
final analysis whatever , improves the
condition of the farmer, enabling him
to increase production and put farm
ing on a more stable and business-like
basis, redounds also to the benefit of
all lines of business . .
Tho following were the special guests
at Tuesday evening's meeting: J. B.
Bigger, O. Iteese Patrick, W. W. Whiso
nant, W. P. Whisonant R. Hope Wil
son, B. B.' Riddle, Will Glenn, L. L.

school faculty, Z. O. Wagoner, Merri

REV. M. M'G. SHIELDS
DIED SUDDENLY AT HOME
IN DECATUR, GA TODAY
Former Pastor of First Pres
byterian Church Here
Passes at 56.
VISITED HERE LAST WEEK
Was Superintendent Of Home
Mission Work for the
Synod of Georgia.
Dan R. Shields received a telegram
today conveying the sad intelligence of
the. death at his homo in Decatur, Ga.,
at 8 o'clock this morning of his brother,
Rev. M. McG. Shields, a former pastor of
the First Presbyterian church of this
city. While it was known that Mr.
Shields had been in failing health for six
or eight months, his death was not ex
pected and came with allocking auddeness
Mr. Shields left Gustonia a week ago
yesterday after having .spent two 01 1
three days hero with his brother. He
was accompanied here by his daughter,
Miss Kathcrino Shields. On reaching
home she wrote that her father stood the
trip fine and was getting on nicely.
The body will be taken to his old home
in Moore county, this state, where the
funeral and burial will take place. -Tho
time of the funeral is not known here,
though it will probably be Thursday af
ternoon. Mr. Dan Shields will leave Gas
tonia this afternoon for Carthage to be
present at tho funeral. ,
At the time of his death Mr. Shields
was superintenden of home missions of
theSynod of Georgia, a position he had
filled with great efficiency for the past
six years or more. For the past six
mouths, however, ho had been able to
devote but little time to his duties on
account of his ill health.
Malcome McGilvary Shields was born
56 years ago near Carthage, Moore coun
ty, the son of Duncan Patrick Shields
and wife. Both of his parents are dead.
He was educated at the University of
North Carolina and received his theo
logical training at Hampden-Sidney Col
lege, Va. After serving a number of
pastorates he en me to Gustonia in 1897 as
pastor of the First Presbyterian church,
succeeding Rev. R. P. Smith. He served
the Gastonia church for seven years, leav
ing here in 1904 for Norfolk, Va., where
he had accepted a pastorate. After re
maining at Norfolk for some, time he
was appointed superintendent of home
missions for the Synod of North Caro
lina. He held thisj position for several
years going from here to Georgia, to
take a similiar position with the Synod
of Georgia.
Surviving are his widow, who was Miss
Hattie Shaw, a daughter of Dr. John
Shaw of Carthatre. and three children,

but many others who knew him during
his pastorate here and who hare watched
his work for the church since then.

State Highway Commission
Holding Final Meeting to . '
Award Work.
RALEIGH, Sept. 5. With the state
highway commission intact today the
final big meeting of tho commission is
taking place and the remainder of the
year's work will be pretty nearly au
thorized. The commission has had in this ses
sion the best proof of its public high
standing. A year ago the delegations
which came before it were something
fierce Jn their road rivalry. Tho folks
who were down here today appeared to
be attending' a pleasant social event.
They were here from all parts of the
state, but the commission was having
no trouble with them.
But not everybody acquiesces in the
location of roads and quite a few pro
testa were presented. The commission
had today new work entirely. It an
nounced the last big lettings a week
ago and it was working today on the
last big authorizations. After its work
is finished tomorrow it will go in a body
to review one of the greatest achieve
ments of the commission the Roanoke
River bridge connecting Bertie and
Martin counties, the costliest river cross
ing in North Carolina.
The commission calls this a business
meeting. It is still receiving delega
tions and hearing protests against its
own location of roads, but these are as
different from the original stormings
of the commission as a Wednesday
night prayer service and a cattle tick
eradication debate before a legislative
committee. As business goes this is an
important session. Looking over the
money available it is seen that the state
is in pocket nearly fifty-two millions
and has allotted thirty-four millions,
nine hundred and eighteen thousand, or
thereabouts. That leaves something like
seventeen millions of the original fifty.
Commissioner Cox, of the fifth, has used
up his and has one hundred and four
and eight-tenths per cent authorized
allotments. He is ahead and must take
back something. Commissioner McBeo
is ninety-eight and one-tenth. The
thirty-four millions represent the proj
ects under contract and include the let
tings of last week .
Peacock's Case Not UnusuaL
Prison officials who have not grown
hides thick enough not to feel the public
assaults on account of the escape hist
week of Dr. J. W. Peaeosk from the
criminal insane department, neverthe
less, believe that if the public will go
out and see the criminal insuitc depart
ment there will be less attacking.
In the first place, the Peacock escape
isn't , comparable in size with other
walk aways which attracted no attention
at all. Five of the criminal iusaue
sawed themselves out one night. But
they were just ordinary bugs without
any money or sense and the fact that
they could get saws smuggled to them
by other folks who were as big fools,
as those who escaped, attracted no com
ment at all. It is not any unusual
thing for a common bug to break out,
Because the state never has built a very
substantial place for the criminal insane.
It constructed its insane department on
the theory that the bug house ieople
would not have sense enough to get out
if tho bars were down. The result is
that most of these wards open right on
the grounds. The five who filed their
way through the soft iron did what any
ordinary person could have done in ten
minutes with a saw. But the state did
the building, not the present adminis
tration. Peacock's escape was the first of im
portance since the new prison manage
ment took charge. The idea, however,
that there is any connection between
money and liberty is somewhat far
fetched. Peacock is smart and of
course a better planner than most of
the fellow-bugs in that department. But
if somebody will just smuggle a saw
there is not a crazy killer in that wholo
department who cannot get away.
; It as officially denied that Peacock
went away whistling or humming that
well-known tramp song, "Just tell 'em
that you saw me, but you never seen
me saw." Peacock went out. very
quietly, evidently found somebody wait
ing with an automobile, may hare taken
a friend's airplane as he had done be
fore and lit out for Mexico. The
prison . authorities are about to light
onto an interesting suspect.
SOUTHERN SOTAL PALM
LIMITED IS DERAILED
JACKSONVILLE, Sept, 6. Derail
ment of the Southern Railway Royal
Palm Limited northbound for Cincinnati
just outsideof the railroad yards here
htst night, resulted from the activities
or wreckers, local officials of the South
ern announced today. Several cars of the
train left te rails but remained upright,
the limited having been running slowly
at the time and no one was injured.
- The derailment at first was believed
to have resulted from the accidental
splitting of a switch but an examination
of the switch-stand disclosed that the
switchlock was missing, it was stated.
The eyt of the lock which apparently
had been sererad with 9 hack saw, was
found on the ground.

Back to Work Along
Southern.
GREENSBORO, Sept. 6. The South
ern railway will cut off Nos. 15 and 16
between Salisbruy and ABheville, effec
tive with hist trains out of both points
Wednesday, September 6. No. 15 leaves
Salisbury at 6:15 a. ni. and urrives at
Aslieville at 11:15 a. iu and No. 15
leaves Aslieville at 4:40 p. m. and reaches
Salisbury at 10 p. m. This curtailment
is ouly temporary and like those reduc
tions anonnuced previously.
Other trains in this section to be elim
inated for tho time being are Nos. 18
and 13 between Greensboro and Golds-
boroj'Nos 45 and 46 between Danville
and Charlotte; Nos. 135 and 10 between
Washington and Danville ; second 35 and
Xo. 14 between Charlotte and Atlanta;
Nos. 3 and 4 between Aslieville and
Columbia and Nos. 21 and 22 between
Aslieville and Waynesville.
This cut in service will help the South
ern by furnishing engines for maintain
ing existing pusscuger schedules and also
furnishing additional engines for mov
ing the freight jam that has held the
western part of the road since the strike
began. This jam has been attributed to
two causes; the closing of the outlets
through connecting lines and aso inabil
tiy to move freight as fast as it ac
cumulated. The Southern is now getting
delivery on 25 new freight engines of
the Mikado type for the C. N. O. and T.
P. Lines and these engines will be put
into service immediately, hauling freight
as they-travel from Lynchburg, the point
of delivery to the Southern through to
Knoxville, Cincinnati and St. Louis. It
is figured that with tho new equipment
and that being released, by train re
duction, that the jam can be cleared
in a short while. Once, the jam is broken
and if connecting lines can be kept
open, railway officials figure they can
move nil the traffic offered hereafter in
reasonably god shape.
The people who have lived' along the
main double tracked line of the South
ern have been fortunate so far as north
aud south traffic is concerned. Trains
have moved along pretty well and at no
time has the shipper been, subjected to
the trouble that those west of Knoxville
have experienced. Only when they had
cars tied up moving through the western
gateway have they known what the sit
uation really was.
The curtailing of passenger service on
the main line reminds ono of the old war
days, or to be exact, the days of the
1915 cotton panic when there was a
drastic redaction; followed by a res
toration of niany of them only to be
cut again when the United States entered
the war and it became necessary to con
serve- fuel and get coacUos and engines
to move the -troops. Now again a crisis
bus arisen and passenger train schedules
are to give way tq the greater public
necessity of moving coal, foodstuffs and
other freights necessary for human wel
fare. In the meanwhile tho strike is wearing
along. Apparently both sides are wait
ing and no new peace moves are in
sight. One of the significant develop
ments of the day was a statement issued
by president of the Central of Georgia
railway that he had all the men he needed
and that ho advised the strikers on his ,
line to seek places elsewhere. And there
is a drift back to work, not very large,
but is significant Each day the Southern
shop forces are getting stronger. Ad
dition of skilled men is making possible
the elimination of those not handy with
tools and it is said that many of the new
men are showing remarkable apitude in
catching on w ith their new jobs.
As one well known railroad man re
marked yesterday, "the strike has
shown us that many of us could do a
lot of things when we had to that we
didn't know we could do before" And
this same man wondered if the strikers
have really figured on how it is possible
always to find another man who can ul
timately do a given job as well as the
one who leaves it It is the same old
story, a man may think himself indis
pensable, but given a little time and per
haps some inconvenience, a substitute
can be found.
It was reported here yesterday that
several of the important men of the
Southern's shops along the main line
were drifting back to wark. Now with
tho strike settling down to an endurance
test and no peace clouds floating about
to darken or brighten the horizon, a fur
ther increase in the number of men want
ing work is expected to be a daily devel

CHICAGO,. Sept. 6. Leaders of the
railway shopmen's strike aud rail road
executives were in accord today in de
nials of publish reports that there was
a new move on foot to settde the strike.
Inference that, Bert M. Jewell, hear
of the shop crafts organizations, who has
been absent from strike headquarters
since the Government's injunction was
granted by Judge Wilkerson last Friday,
hud been in conference in aBltimore with
Daniel Williard, president o the Balti

dicted by Mr. Willard.
With rail heads asserting they know
of no new peace moves, John Scott, sec
retarw, and J. P. McGrath, vice presi
dent of the Railway Employees depart
ment of the American Federation of La
bor denied that a call had been issued
from headquarters for a meeting of the
union's policy committee here tomorrow,
Other union officials declined to Teveal
the whereabout of Mr. Jewell and un
certain rumors said he had been "in the
east". Mr. Scott said he had heard
nothing of Mr. Jewell's return ehre to
day,adding that he was not expected for
several days.
Coupled with the denial of Mr. Willard
that he had not even seen Jewell was
a statement from Mr. McGrath asserting
that he did not believe the strike leader
have even been in the vicinity of Balti
more. Mr. McGrath declared that rumors of
a wintftnhiti.l meeting of tho Policy
J committee Thursday was a plot to de
ceive uiu guojimeu. 1
, Meanwhile Federul agents awaited the
return of Mr. Jewell to formally serve
him with the injunction writ. At the same
time Judgo Wilkerson, after dismissing
contempt proceedings ngainst three men
arrested in Chicago under the injunction
announced he would be absent from his
court until next Monday, tho day set
for hearing on the government 's appli
cation to make the restraining order per
manent. Meantime Attorney General Dnughcrtj
explained at Washington that the Gof
ernment's injunction would not be used
to abridge personal liberty or to inter
fere with the freedom of speech or tho
press. Whitehousc spokesmen said the
purpose of the injunction was not to en
danger constitutional rights, but was to
prevent interference with transportation.
Strike conditions generally were re
ported quiet throughout the country.

EXPOSITION AT RIO
Guns Boom From Warships of
Eight Nations When U. S.
Delegation Enters Harbor
of Rio Janeiro.
RIO JANEIRO, Sept 6. (By the
Associated Press.) Guns boomed from
the warships of eight nations when the
United States steamship Maryland en
tered the harbor of Rio Janeiro yester
day afternoon carrying the American
mission to the Brazilian Centennial Ex-
K)sition headed by Secretary of State
ughes.
r The steamship Pan-America, which
brought Mr. Hughes from- New York,
overtook the Maryland and the Nevada
just before arriving at the entrance to
the harbor where the secretary and his
party were transfercd to the Maryland.
Four Brazilian destroyers, taking up
positions on either side of the two
American battleships, escorted them into
the majestic body of water surrounding
towering mountains which . make - Rio
famous as a beauty spot.
The Maryland anchored in the midst
of an international fleet and exchanged
salutes in which the harbor forts joined.
The vessels represented Great Britain,
Italy, Portugal, Argentina, Uruguay,
Mexico aud Brazil.
Although the United States has not
recognized the Mexic.nn government, the
gunboat flying the Mexican flag saluted
and tho Nevada returned the salute by
order of the secretary of state, who told
Admiral Jones that diplomatic techni
calities should be waived since both ves
sels were in a friendly harbor.
A delegation of Brazilian officials,
accompanied by Ambassador ' Morgan,
visited the Maryland and 'welcomed the
new comers. After this Secretary
Hughes and his party boarded a launch
which conveyed them to the arsenal
Here were drawn up committees of
Americans who cheered the secretary.
There also was a crowd of Brazilians
and a crack rgiment of Brazilian ma
rines which saluted while the band
played "The Star Spangled Bunner."
The Hughes party was then driven to
the Guanabara Palace, their official
residence.
The secretary's program during the six
days of his .visit includes attendance
at the opening of tho Centennial Ex
position on Thursday, aud two' diners
to be given by President Tessoa and
the Brazilian government, to Mr.
Hughes and the special ambassadors of
the other countries. He will also attend
a reception by the American colony and
will dedicate the site of the . monument
which the Americans plan to give Brazil
as a memorial. ' ,

Lieut. Doolittle, After Record
Flight, Is Ready For Another
Daring Aviator Lands at San Diego After Flying 2,275 Miles
In 21 Hours and 18 Minutes Flying Time Will Fly From
San Diego to Dayton, Ohio -Great Possibilities for Com
mercial Flying. 1
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Sept. 6 Having
eaten today his first breakfast since
starting air daBh from the Atlantic
Cost to the Pacific Coast, Lieutenant
James H. Doolittle, army airman who late
yesterday completed his air flight from
Jacksonville, Fla., in record time was
busy with plans for his next flying task.
He has been instructed to report for duty
at McCook Field, Dayton, Ohio, and
plans to fly there, starting Friday, in the
specially constructed De llaviland 'plane
which brought him here from the Atlan
tic Coast well within 24 hours.
Lieutenant Doolittle showed no signi
that he was worried about his new task
and according tothe rules of the flying
game he ought not to be anxious about
it for he has plenty of time to make the
flight and intends to take it in easy
stages instead of with only one stop as
on his flight from ocean to ocean yes
terday. He is. remembered here as one
of those not in the habit of worrying,
for in the famous airplane flight of
November 26, 1918, when 212 airplans
took the aim here at one time to cele
brate the ending of the far, Doolittle led
a quintet of stunt flyers who put on
every act then known in aerial daring,
flying so closely to the flagstaff on a
tall hotel asto almost si-rape it and then
soaring into the air only to stsfe om
equally thrilling: spectacle.

CAN'T GO UNREBUKED
Will Have Support of Hundred
Million People, Says
Williams.
NEW YORK, Sept 6. -Initiation of
proceedings for the impeachment of
Attorney General Daugherty and Fed.,
eral Judge Wilkinson, of Chicago, on
the grounds that the strike injunction
granted by the latter at the former's
request was in violation of the consti
tution, was urged on Senator Borah in
a telegram dispatched today by John J.
Dowd, chairman of the general strike
committee of the Eastern Railroad Shop
men. "This injunction," the message said,
"has not only violated freedom of
speech, assemblage and the press, but
has made the department of justice and
the federal courts accessories to the
crime of union smashing which a small
group of railroad executives are seeking
to perpetrate at the expense of the
nation. Such conduct cannot and must
not go unrebuked by an outraged peo
ple. .
David Williams, secretary of the com
mittee, declared Jn making the telegram
public that it would have the support
