(By Associated. I'ress.; WARSAW, Sept. 10. (By Mail). The Polish government is compiling the story of the atrocities committed under the Bolshevik reign in the city of Minsk, now oceupie 1 by the Poles. The latest, brought by an American Red Cross work er who has just returned from a relief assignment iii that newly occupied fity, concerns the murder of a woman hospi tal assistant who was rash enough to ex press the hope that conditions would im prove when the town fell to the I'oles. The director of the hospital in question, smarting under an ill-deserved rebuke, administered to him by a surly official of the Red regime, warned the latter that the arrival of the I'oles would bring a change for the better. For this he was deported to Smolensk. His woman as sistant, who ventured a little further in expressing her opinion, was shot into a grave on the dawn before the taking of the city by the Polish army. When visited by workers of the Amer ian Red Cross Commission to Poland, the hospitals and orphanages of the city were found in such pressing need of food that many of them had been obliged to close. One home for war orphans had been without so much as a crust of bread for more than a week. Many others had suffered similar privations. ' According to reports on investigations, only outside aid can rescue these people from the chaos of terror and suffering in which they are submerged. GORILLA OF THE REDS - ESCAPES CAPTURE. (By The Associated Press) SOUMY, SOUTHERN RUSSIA, Sept. 5. (By Mail). This important city, half-way between KharVov and Tzerni gov, has been captured by the Denikine's Volunteer Army, but the hope of the Cossacks that with it they would capture the notrious Syenko,called ' ' The Gorilla of the Reds," was not realized. Three days before the city fell he had been ordered to Moscow by Trotzky. To the American Red Cross men who are engaged in relief work in thejear of Deuikine.'s advancing army, the story of Syenke was told on the first day of their arrival in Kharkov. " Evidence of Syen ko's conduct madness met them on all sides. Syenko was a carpenter of Kharkov, who was made chief torturer and exeeu tioneer in that city of 800,000 people, for the sis months of the Red administration. It is allowed that he organized a band of Chinese torturers and devised extreme cruelties. At the fall of Kharkov he was sent to Soumy where he continued his work of terrorism. The fact that he was known to be in Soumy inspired the Cossacks with a special eagerness to capture the place, but on arrival here, they found that Syenko bad been given 20,000,000 rubles by Trotzky, the Bolshevik Foreign Minister to organize the Red tVrror in Moscow on the same lines he has followed at Khar kov and Soumy .- WILL REPORT TOMORROW.

The following extremely interesting and complimentary bit of talk about Gaston county cotton mills, farms, roads and the fair will be read with interest throughout the comity. The article is from a representative of The Yorkville Enquirer who made a trip through Gas ton en route to Charlotte. It reads: Construction work on the several mills being erected on the Gaston side of the line between Pleasant Ridge and Gasto nia South Gastonia, they call it now, is progressing very radily, all things con sidered. There is some labor shortage despite the fact that they are paying good negro laborers and trifling negro laborers from f;i to $4 a day. Still there is a sniflicieiu-y of labor to keep things a humming and Gastonia people say that i won t be many more weeks before the looms and spindles in these new additions to the mill metropolis of the south will be doing their full duty, provided the mill owners and the mill workers can agree as to how much money each should make. At the same time that the mills along this road are going up, comfortable houses for the use of the workers are going up too, and it is being seen to that con struction work on the houses keeps right up with construction work on the mills. Incidentally, Camp Greene or rather a part of it is being transferred from Charlotte to South Gastonia. There is a scarcity of lumber in this country just as there is a scarcity of everything except strikes, and the mill magnates of Gaston county have purchased & number of mess halls, office buildings and other lumber structures at Camp Greene, where soldiers formerly ate slum and what-nots, and shipped the timber to Gastonia, to be used in the building of the new cotton mills. Gastonia always did want Camp Greene, like the progressive city she is, and now she has got it. Farmers residing on the Yorkville-Gas-tonia road from Bowling Green on, haven't the slightest idea what their lauds lying along that road are worth now since mills are springing up in a night. The talk in Gastonia is that there are other mills yet to he built in South (iiis tonia all the way down to the South Car oliua line perhaps and fanners who own lands along that way ju-t simply don't know where they are. Some of them, it is said, are afraid to name any kijid of price for their land if it's anywhere in the vicinity of the Carolina 4: North Western Railway. A Gastonia man who bought soine lands south of Gastonia a few years ago when conditions were un der normal, and it looTsed like everything was going to goodness knows, where. srld out a short time ago for $500 an acre land away out of Gastonia. He heard rumors that other mills were going up down that way and then he wished he hadn't shot off his mouth and he tried to rue back. 1 There was nothing doing be cause the mill man to whom he sold hand ed him a cheek in '"part payment just as soon as he said "yes." And it has only been a few years since he bought his $500 lands for about $75 an acre and the man from whom he had bought, having a kind of guilty feeling that he had stung the purchaser, kind o' put his hands behind his back when he took the money. They are building a road in South Gas tonia that is far superior to anything that York eounty has, with the exception of that three miles or so from Rock Hill through the Cherry farm to Catawba riv er. Quite a bit of the Gaston county road has been complete! at least they now allow automobiles and Fords to pass over it. At one place, however, it is necesary to leave it and take to 9 man 'a eottbn field. There is no use to "say where because anyone -who Fords that way will find out. Th cotton field feels like the roils on a freight train as com pared with a lower berth with nobody in the- upper, after one has been 'riding on the new road they are building. There is some more good road from Gastonia toward Charlotte, Pur a distance of sever al miles and then it gets worse than aw ful for miles and miles. It was once macadam ; but one wh didn 't know any thing about macadam would think that possibly a Hun managed to drop bombs along there during the late war and had succeeded in bumping things some. Work is now in progress on a brand new con crete road from Charlotte to Gastonia. The understanding is that it will go all the way, and then with the good road Gastonia is huilding from her borders down to South Carolina, it will be York county's own fault if the children can't roll on skates all the way from Yorkville to Charlotte. The Mecklenburg county fair in Char lotte, which in North Carolina is gen erally considered about as big an event as the state fair is in South Carolina, was about up to standard. P.nt really, it wasn't a bit better than was the Gaston county fair and folks who attended both ami who know something about fairs say that the York county fair which is to be hold in Rock Hill this week, is going to bo as attractive and as large ns either. The Mecklenburg county fair covered more ground ami was further away from anywhere than was the Gaston county fair; but there wasn't any more to it. The Gaston county exhibits of general progress were just as attractive and just as many and Gaston had just as many hum bugs and faikirs just as adept in relieving the credulous of their nickles ami dimes ami dollars, as Charlotte did. And there were as many people in at tendance on the Gaston fair as there were on the 'harlotte fair and more from York county. One of the most attractive features connected with the Mecklenburg fair was the horse racing. A York coun ty horse, "Superhuman," the property of Henry Neely of Rock Hill and former ly the property of .lames Bros., of York ville, won practically everything that was worth winning in the racing. AT THE THEATERS EX-PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT DEFENDED HUGHES' STORY. Late Ex-President Proved Quick and Doughty Champion of "The Un pardonable Sin When New York Li brary Balked. The late Theodore Roosevelt, ex Presi dent of the United States, who was en gaged in adding to his reputation as one of the doughtiest of American fighters in any field where right seemed to need a champion, when bis untimely death resulted, had an important part in the controversy which developed in New York City soon after "Tho Cnpardoii aldo Sin," Major Rupert Hughes' well known book w;is published. Tho -t ny has now been put in pictuie form by Har ry Gars ii. well known producer, with Hlainho Sweet in the leading role, nniler tie direction of Mar shall Neilan. The big photoplay has been secured as the attraction at the Ideal threatre for a two days engage ment, beginning today. Major Hughes, who ".ill always be grateful to ('ulnnel Roi.elt fur the part he took in defending the book, re marked not long ago, when he saw the picture version in New York, that it would always remain one of his regrets that Colonel Roosevelt had not lived to see the power for good which had been evolved from the story and so striking ly presented in the photoplay. "The Unpardonable Sin", in story form, first appeared as a serial in the Red Book, and was later published in the book form by Harior Jc Bros., New York. It had already achieved national popularity, when Major Hughes himself, quite by accident, discovered that New York City public library officials were hampering the circulation of the story on the grounds that its subject matter was not conductive to the best interests of the general puhlic. Investigation proved that while "The Unpardonable Sin" was available in a number of the branches of the New- York I'ifblic Li brary, the nunoVr of copies on hand was not nearly adequate to' supply the demand of those who wished to read it and, moreover, that it was not the de sire of the public library officials that the general public be afforded the same opportunity to read "The Unpardonable CHARACTER A BANK is like an individual, it is known by its character and its reputation. The character of this bank is unquestionable. We use our best efforts to maintain a reputation that our customers can point to with pride, by giving them liberal treatment and their business prompt attention.

BUICE, Cashier W. T. LOVE, Vice President F. C. ABERNETHY, Asst. Cashier Siu" that was accorded them in the case of other pieces of popular litera ture. When this condition was brought to light, ex President Roosevelt wrote one of his characteristic letters, criticizing the public library people for their un authorized censorship, and advocating the widest possible circulation of the story in the interests of public welfare. "The Unpardonable Sin" had sold in the hundreds of thousands before this little controversy developed, but im mediately upon the publication of the Roosevelt lotter its sales were almost doubled, until it became the best seller of its day. "The Unpardonable Sin" has a war background but it is anything but a war picture. Its greatest interest lies in the recital of the love and adventure of two typical Americans one a plucky lit tle California girl, and the other a young college man from the Middle West. Blanche Sweet, w idely know n screen star, makes the most of splendid oppor tunities offered her in tho role of the girl, and Matt Moore plays opposite her in the role of the young collegian. CIRCUS COMMENDED. Bangor, Maine, News Says Nice Things About John Robinson's Wonderful Tenttd Attraction. .John Robinson's circus will exhibit in Gastonia Monday, November ."in!, and hundreds of residents from this city and vicinity will attend. They will go early, to be in time for the street parade and will attend both performances. Concerning the show the Hangor, Maine, News has the following nice things to say: ".lust a plain old fashion ed circus such as your grandparents en joyed, rejuvenated and brought down to date, made more interesting by the clean, business like manner in which it is pre sented this is the charm that held the assembled thousands who crowded the main tent of the John Robinson circus. For it is a circus that does not depend on pageants, parades or spectacles, to interest its patrons. In the three rings are presented the cream of circus acts. The well trained animals, the handsome riding horses, and their famous riders, the aerial acrobats, the congress of athletes were all of the highest class. well worth seeing, comparing favorably with any of the big circuses of the coun try. "The performance of the big show was up to tly most glaring claim. It had everything that a circus should have In fact many of the acts call for a use of superlatives generous praise that was well deserved.
