By Thornton Bostic: On the morning of the explosion, I had come og guard, eaten breakfast, and just gone to bed, when it occur ed at 9:50. I was not conscious or hearing the report, but I am sure that is what woke me up, for the first thing I knew I was sitting up in bed looking out of the window,, towards the ammunition plant. I saw a Lig cloud of smoke, and timbers flying thru the air. Getting into my clothes I grabbed ray rifle, and a squad of us night guards started for the plant on the run.

I was at the gate keeping the way clear for automobiles, when a shell came from somewhere and knocked a big hole in the fence a few feet be hind me. I didn't know at the time what had happened except that for some reason the fence was falling down. Then I looked up on the main building and saw shot falling oi it in several places.

' At the hospitable home of Mrs. II. E. Kendall, the 20th Century Club convened on last Friday afternoon at 4:30. This being the regular yearly business meeting, the most import ant business to come before the club was the election of officers. So capably had the former officers fulfilled their duties in the past that they were un animously re-elected as follows: Pres ident, Mrs. L. M. Hull; vice president, Mrs. A. W. McMurry; secretary and treasurer, Mrs. O. M. Gardner. After the business session, Miss Stella Scroggs delighted the mem bers by a number of beautiful vocal selections. Following this the hos tess, assisted by Miss Annie Miller, served a delicious two-course colla tion, consisting of sandwiches, ice tea, ice cream and cake, and salted nuts. The next meeting will be on May 11th with Mrs. Will Roberts. dred more badly burned in the hospit als. About eight o'clock I was taken to another hospital in the suburbs of town. The people were coming in crowds looking for missing friends relatives, but none of them was al lowed to enter unless the person they were looking for was there. It was pitiful to see them come there after going to all the other hospitals and learn that their friends were not there or find out that they were but dead. as several did. I staved there until three in the morning, and could hear them yell and groan in their pain, and saw them roll three dead ones out. The next two nights I was again at the same hospital and it was about the same as on the first night, except there weren't so many people coming in. It was an, awful sight to walk thru the morgue and look at the dead. There were about 125 bodies there to be identified. Practically all of them were burnt black s:ll over, and the only means of identifying for a lot of them was by their teeth or jewelry Occasionally you would see one who was not burnt r.-.uch. who had In en slii':;,')' killed bv see one vith its neat! without arms or legs the body.

Thc parior in which the cer. rmmy took place was artistically decorated in handsome ferns and palm", the vows being sunken be neath a lovely green bell, Rev. Lee M. White par.tor of the First Baptist church officiating. The only attend ant was dame of honor, the bride's sister-in-law, Mrs. Enos Beam, who was gowned in a handsome tan coat suit. The happy young couple enter ed the parlor together to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, played by Mrs. George Hoyle. The bride was becomingly gowned in a beautiful tan cloth going away gown and carried white carnations. Following the ceremony, an informal reception was held. "fr. and Mrs. Har rison leaving over the Southern for a visit to relatives in Morristown, Ter.n., before going to Virginia to make their home for the present. The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Beam of this place, a most popular and accomplished young woman. The groom, until re cently, has been making his home here for thc past two of three years, engaged with Mr. W. H. Balanton, but is now interested in construction work in Virginia. He is a splendid business man and has made many warm friends since his sojourn in our city.

TRAIL HITTERS At the Billy Sunday Revival Thous ands Turned Away Rev. Mr. Sun day Pleads for Single Standard of Morality. MORE FOOD FOR CLEVELAND CO. CLEVELAND COUNTY FOOD CON SERVATION COMMITTEE OR GANIZED TO CARRY ON EX TENSIVE AND IMPORTANT WORK. There met in Supterintendent J. Y. Irvin's office Saturday the following members of the Cleveland County Food Conservation Commission: Messrs. C. C. Blanton, chairman; R. M. Gidney, secretary; H. T. Fulton, chairman of the board of county commissioners; William Plonk, chair man of the County Board of Educa tion; I. C. Griffin, secretary of the Shelby Board of Trade; J. Y. Irvin, superintending of education; Joe E. Blanton and Jim Gardner, up-to-date farmers and Editors G. G. Page of Kings Mountain Herald and Lee B. Weathers, of the Star, said commis sion being similar to ones that are being organized in every county in North Carolina under commissions is sued by Governor T. W. Bickett. The purpose of the commission will be to agitate the growing of more food crops for man and beast to help com bat the grave situation that has arisen as a result of the war. Mr. Irvin has appointed a committeeman from each school district in the county who will meet here with the central executive committee Saturday afternoon, May 5th at .3 o'clock in the court house to further organize and discuss the work to be carried out. A Million Imports "Grow your own food and feed crops or go hungry" is the situation that confronts us. The south has been depending upon the north and central west for food and feedstuffs to the value of approximately 700 million dollars a. year at present .Tabernacle yesterday afternoon and' prices the figures would no doubt pass the billion dollar mark. North Caro lina's part of this tremendous ag gregate of imports has been in round numbers eighty million dollars. AND Cleveland County's part is conserva tively estimated to be ever the mil lion mark. What are we going to do about it ? There are several means of increasing production. Where far mers can see their way clear, they are urged to reduce slightly their acreage of cotton and tobacco, espec ially the latter, giving more acres to corn, soy beans, peas, potatoes, hay and other food and feed crops. Every where they do not reduce their acre age of cotton and tobacco, they are urged to try to take care of a slight additional acreage, if they can do so without neglecting their accustomed crops. Systematic Campaign Planned In order to carry on the work, Chairman C. C. Blanton appointed R. M. Gidney, I. C. Griffin and Lee B. Weathers who will, through the board of trade and the office of farm demon strator, circulate literature to every farmer in Cleveland county, laying the Situation plainly before them and urging that steps be taken to meet the situation. The students in type writing in the Shelby Graded Schools will be asked to volunteer their serv ices in addressing envelopes and mailing literature. Letters written by this committee, together with farm bulletins will be sent broadcast every week or ten days. An effort will be made to procure various seeds in large quantities to be sold at cost in extreme cases where individuals are not able to buy seeds, th'-y will be furnished with the understanding that an equal amount will be return ed after harvest, thus no cash outlay of money on the pari of (hose not able to stand the drain.

Postponement of the International Christian Endeavor convention, which was to have been held in New Yory July 4 to 9, is announced. The postponement is on account of the war and is for a year, or more. Three powder workers met death Tuesday when an explosion of black powder occurred in the Coalburg plant of the Aetna Explosive Com pany, 12 miles north of Birmingham, Ala. Cause of the blast unknown.. The Spanish government's note to Germany regarding Germany's sub marine campaign contains a para graph stating that if Germany con tinues in its determination to sink all vessels in order to defend itr life, Spain must take a like step to defend her life. A dispatch from Peking, China, says at a conference of provincial and military governors, at which the premier presided, it was voted unan imously that China should enter trie war against Germany. A canvass shows that Parliament is overwhelm ingly in favor of China declaring war, but President Li Yuan Hung is still undecided on the question. More than 200,000 bushels of wheat and a large wooden grain elevator known as "elevator A" of the West ern Transportation Company, owned by the Great Lakes Transit corpora tion, were destroyed by fire at Erie, Pa., Tuesday night, with a loss esti mated at $600,000.

Forty-four thousand persons heard the evangelist at his afternoon and evening services, and about 15,000 were turned away because the big shed up on Washington Heights was filled at each session an hour or more before the time scheduled for Billy to appear. "Oh, I'm proud of this town," he said last night in the prayer he of fered before he invited his auditors to shake sin and his hand at the same time. "I don't know when I hav'? known a ci' which answered like this one does. Why, New York, you're great! You make a men preach his fool head off! (Laughter--though Billy was praying.) And a man's glad to preach his fool head off to people like you." In his afternoon prayer the ?:ungp list had this to say about the eity: "Bless old New York, God. put your arms around her! Love her! Hug her so tight that she will never want to get away. Is New York go ing to heaven? You bet!" And if trail-hittetrs mean a heaven ward journey on the part o the me tropolis, Billy is right, lie gained 1,814 in the afternoon and 1,792 in the evening, and at each service he could have had more had his strength held out to keep on g asping hands. Billy handed out some very straight talk last night about the morals of this city and country. '"The crying need in America to-day," he asserted "is a single standard of morabtv for men and. women." And that was th most loudly applauded hMitinunt he expressed. Something of a shock, and a lot e' made to induce the War Department to properly fortify this entrance to the harbors. State co-operation in the govern ment's war time food control pro gramme will be encouraged by the appointment of a Federal expert in each State to assist State boards in putting into operation food produc tion and conservation measures. These men will be put at the dispos al of Governors as special represen tatives of the national Department of Agriculture. The United States Supreme Court has affirmed the decree of the Fed eral court enjoining the Southern Pacific railroad from disposing of timber and minerals on its lands re ceived by congressional grant. By the decision the government won its suit against the Southern Pacif c to regain nearly 2,300,000 acres of Oregon and Washington land, worth $30,000,000. Censorship on all cables touching the United States and on telegraph and telephone lines into Mexico will be established shortly by Executive order. There is no plan for extending the censorship to lines of internal communication. The chief object o the order will be to prevent the trans mission to Mexico, South of Central America, of information that might be of value to Germany.

Billy Sunday was in the best form he has yet displayed last night. His voice rang trumpet-like throughout the vast space of the Tabernacle and he was full of motino as the well known "injy-rubber idjit of a spree." Up and down his platform he must have traveled miles during the course of his talk and leaped hundreds of feet. The trail-hitters, as usual, were th.- smiling "glad-to-see-you-Bill" type There were a score or more of sol diers and sailors. The crowd of peni tents was about evenly divided be tween men and women. Two young Japs hit the trail and added an un usual touch to the scene.
