ROOSEVELT IS TO
MAKE ADDRESS AT
CHARLOTTE TODAY
Thousands Are Expected In
That City To Hear Him
MANY TO GO FROM HERE
President to Also Stop At
Greensboro, High Point
And Salisbury
ADDRESS AT 4:00 P. M.
Washington, Sept. B.—At his
regular press conference this af
ternoon President Roosevelt said
very little about his southern
trip, which calls for an address
on the occasion of the Green
Pastures rally at Charlotte on
Thursday, but stops have been
arranged on the return tlip at
Salisbury, High Point and Greens
boro.
Under secret service rules and
regulations the definite time for
the arrival and departure of the
presidential train is seldom given,
but the President expects to make
a platform appearance at Salis
bury about 8 o'clock, and at High
Point and Greensboro between 9
and 10 o'clock.
When the President's train left
tonight it did not carry a large
number of passengers, and it is
assumed that if Chairman Far-
ley and John J. O'Connor, of the
house rules committee, are to be
in Charlotte for the seven-state
rally, they will go later by regu
lar train.
Preparatory to leaving tonight
for a two-day trip into the south,
President Roosevelt was busy
clearing his desk of routine busi
ness, conferring with departmen
tal and emergency heads, and
working on the speech he will de
liver at Charlotte.
The President left Washington
tonight on a special train for
Knoxville. Reaching that city be
fore noon tomorrow, he will re
main there about an hour, and

ORDINANCE PASSED
BARRING TRUCKERS
No Longer Lawful for Coal to
Be Hauled Into Elkin
Direct From Mines
DISCUSS FIRE QUESTION
At a meeting of the Elkin board
of commissioners held Tuesday
night an ordinance was passed
prohibiting sale of coal here ex
cept by established, licensed coal
merchants.
The ordinance was passed fol
lowing a complaint by local coal
merchants in which it was point
ed out that truckers, hauling
what the complainants termed an
"inferior grade" of coal from the
mines, were taking business away
from established firms who sell
only the best coal; who weigh ev
ery load, and who are always on
hand and available when further
orders of coal are desired.
It was also pointed out that
those who are hauling coal into
Elkin now pay no trxe3, maintain
no scales or yards, and would be
unable to further take care of
their customers this winter when
the weather becomes too bad for
further trucking from the mines.

Tangle at Mount
Airy After Fuss
Charges of assault, creating
a public disturbance and the
use of profane language were
lodged against Judge Harry
H. Llewellyn, of the Mount
Airy recorder's court Monday
by Attorney A. B. Carter, also

alleged assault was made Sun
day night.
The quarrel and assault
were said to have taken place

Newt Martin, of Dobson, when
the affair took place. Witnesses
were R. C. Lewellyn, president
of the Elkin bank, and State
Senator Fred Folger. Mr. Fol
