WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 1919. MAJOR ALFRED H. BEACH. Army Officer, Former Resident of Gas tonia, Returns to Fort Logan, Colora do, io Command of Wyoming iroopa. We are in receipt of, a copy of The News Letter, published at Newcastle, Wyoming, under date of February 27th, in which appears an interesting article in regard to Major Alfn-d H. Beach. Major Beach, then captain, with his fam ily, made Gastonia his home for some time before his division left for over seas duty, and many of our readers will be interested in the following: Word has just been received that Ma jor Alfred H. Beach, of Newcastle, Wy oming, is leaving Camp Dix, N. J., Sat urday, March 1, en rout to Fort Lo gan, Colorado, in command of the Wyo ming troops who have recently arrived at Camp Dix. We are in receipt of a history of the V. 8. S. Huntington, on which a part of these troops returned. It gives some in teresting facts regarding the part it played in the war. It made nine trips across the Atlantic, convoying 61 transports, and four short trips, convoying IS transports, making a grand total of 79 transports. The exact number of troops that made the trips in these transports is not known but it HOLDING MOVEMENT MEETS WITH EXCELLENT SUCCESS RALEIGH. March 10. The movement tlio iirHKiwit rron of cotton and to .,.,,i.i .,, -..n .,,.,r I7.VII00. reduce the 191! acreage by one-third i yjm.e the signing of the armistice this cruiser has itself been converted into a transport. It lias this to say of the 41st Hivisi n : This division, which is one of the oldest in point of service in the Ameri can Kxpeilitionary Forces, has on no less than eight occasions Ix'en cited in orders by the commander-in-chief of the A. E. F., for services swiftly and efficiently done. "Originally it was composed of na tional guard troops from Washington, D. '., Montana, Oregon, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, Idaho, and the field artillery units of New Mexico and Colorado. As a replacement division it saw many changes in its personnel, and a great many of the original units have loen transferrin among them the 148th tield artillery." Of Major Beach, the history has this to say : "Major Alfred H. Beach, V. S. A., commanded the entire army personnel on rhich has been inaugurated by the North Carolina Cotton Association, is making sonsideruhlo headway. Mr. C. D. Orrell, chairman of the executive committee of this association, states: "We are re ceiving excellent moral support, and some money contributions." The State as a whole seems to be thoroughly aroused ver the situation, with many farmers in communities voluntarily pledging them selves to hold their present crop, and re due this year's acreage. The organization meetings which were 1m Id in all of the cotton growing counties lat week succeeded in arousing consid erable interest, and while the attendance in all of the counties was not as desira ble as it might have been, still a good w. rking organization was formed by th ise who had the interest of their coun 4i at heart, anil who attended this meet ii :. At this time, plans were made anil p it into operation for pledging every f: mer in the respective counties. Thi done in some cases by dividing th Awarded tat D. S. Cross. The many friends of Cspt Erskine E. Boyee it the 113th Field Artillery, on service overseas, will be delighted to learn that he has recently been swarded the Distinguished Service Cross. Capt Boyee is a son Mr. and Mrs. 8. N. Boyee, of Gastonia, and the people of this city share with his homefolks and friends in the pridu over the splendid record he has made. Gastoniaus will also be interested to know that Major C. L. I'ridgen, who has many friends here, has lxen promoted to the poskion of brigade ourgeou of the 5.)th Brigade. Misses Weeta Iliuson, Willie and Annie Lee McAllister, of Lincoluton, re turned home yesterday after spending several days with Mr. and Mrs. E. O Jennings. board this transport, consisting of 1,979 sountT into school districts, and others Officers and men. Due to his ceaseless h, the township plan, with whichever way and Ininp adopted calling for a personal h itue to house canvass by the committee. It is planned to hold an additional meeting in most of the counties during the latter part of this week, at which time the results of the canvass will be reported and plans made for future ac tivity. As yet, there are a few people who do not realize the importance of this move ment.' "Some of the business men and many of the farmers are lethargic," states Mr. Orrell. "If they could real ize the consequences attendant upon a big erop of cotton being produced this year, and could see the danger in which the en tire business structure of the State an I South would be placed by this big crop of cheap cotton, they would realize at once that this movement calls for the concerted action of every single individu al in the State. "The moral effect of the movement through the future years is immensely more important than protecting this pres ent crop, or the next, though it has for its purpose the protection of both." Mr. Orrell calls for the farmers of the Btate to rally around this movement, ti organize their communities so that the acreage on every cotton farm will be re duced at least one-third, and the econo mic freedom of the cotton farmer as sured for the coming years. WITH GASTON'S SOLDIERS !!orporsl John A. Hunter. Jr., who has leen stationed at Detroit, Mich., for the past year or more, wri'es The Gazette that he expects to receive his discharge from the army next week and will re turn at once to Gastonia.

Do Away With Indigestion untiring efforts, combined with the high degree of discipline maintained un iler his command, and the administrative ability of the Adjutant First Lieutenant iShephard, the troops' berthing space was kept in an excellent state during the entire trip." Major Beach saw 14 months' service in France, eight months leing spent with the 41st division, in the intermedi ate section in the Service of Supply (S. O. S. ) He served in the capacity of As sistant Division Quartermaster, and la ter as Assistant Motor Transport officer. In August, 19 IS, he was promoted to the rank of Major and transferred to the front as Motor Transport officer of the 89th division, where he saw strenu ous service through the St. Mihiel ad Forest of Argonne drives, and which of fice he still held when the armistice was signed. The S9th division won mucn commendation for the efficient work it did in these drives. After the armistice, he was again sent to the 41st division and given command of the 3rd battalion, 163rd Inf.

To the Editor of The Gazette: My attention has !een called to an ar ticle published in your paper of a recent date in regard to my son, Gilton Bridges, who is accused of shooting Deputy Sher iff Cole, of this city, which reads in part as follows: "A DKSI'KRATK CHARACTER." "It is stated by local otlicers that Bridges has served a term on the chain gang for .shooting anian some years ago and that he has been in trouble on vari ous accounts on previous occasions. It is recalled that a few weeks ago he was in an auto accident near Shelby iu which his father was killed. Some whiskey was found in the wreckage and it was the general belief that Bridges was drink ing and lost control of his car, The of ticers have suspected that he was engag ed in the transportation and probably the sale of whiskey and have been keeping a watch-out for him. ' ' Being the mother of Giltuii Bridges I" lo not feel that such statements should go before the peojde to prejudice their minds against him unchallenged. Gil ton Bridges has never been accused, j much less tried for shooting any man. j and furthermore has never been tried for anything except one time, and that was while he was a boy and was not for shooting nor for dealing in liipinr, and to my knowledge he has never been accused of dealing in liquor in any way. except he drank some liquor. j In the automobile accident referred to. j in which my husband was killed, at Lat- I timore, N. C, in which you state that I whiskey was found in the wreckage, I ' i, I..,.,,, ;.. c, i i.,. ti,., ..,;.. .i.:..i. I inui iiiiifiniMi ii nit Lira nmt fl were on the scene and by the party who held the head of Gilton Bridges just after the accident, that she smelt of his breath and there was not even the scent of whiskey on his breath, and the accident was caused solely on the account of him driving a car that he was not used to, and not on the account of whiskey. I ask you to publish this in justice to my son, Gilton Bridges, my dead hus band and myself. MARY L. BRIDGES. Born -- To Dr. and Mrs. B, H. Parker, Satur day, March 8, 1919, a son.
