J. p. 1). Withrow, merchant king and former represen tative, of. Rutherford in the General Assembly of North Carolina. The day was hot, but a rain the night before kept down dust on roads that led to that thriving "Rock Vil lage" built by Mr. Withrow and ded icated to education, religion and pat riotism. It was a quiet, orderly crowd except for the shooting at baseball ground. which up-set the afternoon's program and dampened the joy of the crowd and the host. Mr. Withrow has promoted many celebrations and this is the first time there has been any disturbance of any kind. Every detail of the program was carefully worked out by Mr. Withrow and thousands attended from Cleveland and Ruth erford counties. The Haynes Rand of Cliffside fur nished music during the day and Mr. Withrow delivered- the address of welcome, after which he presented the large monument to the two coun- had bpen erpcted for the Ofpasion. Queen's quartet got round after round of applause for their singing, a rebel yell was given in honor of the Confederate soldiers and .their wives, the soldiers engaged in the tlnli contest, musical concerts were rendered by the Haynes band and 'baseball game completed the day's program. Mr. Withrow closed his store for the dav, but refreshments wer3 served by ladies representing church organizations. The handsome ! new rock church ha- just been com j rleted on the top of a knoll which is a monument to Withrow which he ' has turned over to the citizens of that community fo their use. Altogether it was a great day for Hollis and many went for miles to experience no disappointment, ; TO EN COT RAGE WITHDRAWALS FOR PERSONNEL OF ARMY . Orders will be issued by the War Department immediately "encour the en ; aging" withdrawals among listed personnel of the army. This is the course first to be pursued by Secretary of War Weeks in effecting the reductions from the present army strength of around 235,000 ofneers and men to 150,000, made necessary by the army appropriation bill. The reduction does not need to be made until October 1, and it probably will be until the last minute that drastic discharges will be put into effect. Weeks is anxious to make the reduc tion voluntary. He believes the gov ernment is morally bound to live up to its enlistment contracts. In ad dition to the moral obligation which Weeks feels is imposed on the gov ernment, he hesitates to throw ap proximately 70,000 soldiers and 30, 000 civilians on an unemployment market already staggering with 4 000,000 idle men. While the president in his message indicated that it might not be possible to comply to the letter which congress' wishes in the matter of reducing the army. Weeks holds that the congressional act compels him to effect the reduction by Octob er 1. By a vote of 250 to 93 the house on Monday passed the Willis-Camp bell bill to prevent the sale of beer for medical Dumoses and sent the same to the senate. A 12 per cent cut in wages ordere by the labor board on a large number of roads is to go into effect on July 1. - " NEW CLEVELAND SPRINGS HOTEL WHICH WILL SOCIAL NEWS Shelby's Distinguished Visitor.
