Mr. Mc i Dow pointed out that Solicitor Glenn is iainlliar with the people there and that his personal influ ence in Chester is strong. Judge , Johnson commented on this by say ing that if this carried to its, logi cal conclusion it would mean that Solicitor Glenn could try no case jin his home county. Another objection Mr. Me Dow raised to transferring the trial to Chester is that Dr R. E Abell, whom Mr. McDow said he uppre i bonded would be the strongest wit mess for the state, is at the head of a hospital there and is a. brother ■ in-law of the solicitor. The court i expressed the opinion that Chester j county Jurors would do their duty, regardless of the popularity and prestige of any witness there for the state. Surprise. The transfer of the case to Ches ter county took every one, even the 'attorneys, by surprise, since it was cenerally believed that If a change of venue were ordered Fairfield or ;Lancaster would be the county j named.

In 3 Generation* High Point.—The white plague, tuberculosis, could be entirely wip ed out in three generations if i proper precautions were taken, de ' dared Dr. P. A. Yoder, of the state j tuberculosis sanatorium, in an ad j dress before the Klwanis here. Al 1 though the disease has been low ered to fourth place from first in the cause of death, the physician declared, it still, perhaps, brings about more physical disability than any other disease. Dr. Yoder prescription tor stamp ing cut, the white plague is the sim | pie formula of quit coughing and ! spitting except where the mucous i therefrom can be burned. Tubcreu 1 losis. Dr. Yoder said, is a specific 1 infection and can be spread only by ulcerations. , A 60 per cent decrease in the ' death rate from this disease has been brought about in the past 25 'years, and 50 per cent of this has been effected in the lari decade, the speaker averred. North Carolina has made great 'strides in fighting the disease, j Much of the state's progress has 1 been effected by the everyday p-ac icing physician who knows more about tuberculosis now than for merly, said Dr. Yoder. In descrlb ing the nature of the disease, he said that 93 per cent of the incipi ent cases can be cured. 45 per cent of those moderately advanced, but only 18 per cent of those complete ly advanced. ’"i 1.1 WHIP NEWS OF WEEK Preaching At ( amp ( reck Church.

Store Of Strikers Blown Up Thursday Grim. Silent Mob Of 50 To 125 L'ses Sledgehammers And Crowbars. | Loray Mill Village, Gastonia, Ap ril 18.—The frame headquarters building of the National Textile Workers’ union here was demolish ed and and the union's relief store was heavily damaged at an early hour this morning by a masked band of men variously estimated to number from 50 to 125 persons. Tire terrific crashes as the ma rauders slung sledge hammers and crowbars against walls and plate glass aroused the neighborhood, brought two Charlotte companies of national guardsmen, scantily clad, to the scene, and created a condi tion of Intense excitement that continued from shortly after 2 a. m. until daybreak. Revolvers Crack. The heavy blows against the properties occupied by the union, I which is earning on strikes here 'and at other cotton mills in this territory, were in sharp contrast to the staccato cracking of revolvers in several sections about the Loray mill, where troops are on guard. Before the significance of the crashes of the hammers and other instruments of demolition was un derstood, the camp here of the na tional guardsmen was aroused by sentries’ call for the corporal of the guard. Ten Arrested. Ten ]x>rsons, each of whom said lie was slepeing in the demolished union headquarters, were arrested imemdiately after I he troop* arriv ed on the run from their barracks, three blocks away. Later, three other persons were arrested but two of these latter soon were released. Cotton Market • By John F. Clark and Co.)

Cannibals Capture League On Hunting Trip With Englishman Shelby Voulli signs l'p A' Secre tary To English lord. Rltlns Elephant Hunting. illy TED I.EA<iH:.l The thlp we signed for in lire?!. Ft unco wax to go to Denmark anil lay there for thirty days awaiting the arrival of an .English lord and his party, who were to go on a hunting expedition in Africa. We'! were told that there might be a , chance for us to go on this party if j we proved hard workers and were > willing to "take a chance " on not , eomlng back. Jerry and I were will- | ihg to try just anything cnee and promised to do the very best we , knew how. We sailed from Brest on this steamer with a nice southern | breeze and really enjoyed the en tire trip to Denmark. We anchored | there in the early spring of I 1925 end Jerry and myself start- ; ed for Berlin to see the sights, pi • course we didn't have u y much ‘Pinero’ but we were willing to take a chance on getting there and back at any rate. We did. luckily. Berlin is a marvelous city—very progressive and the entertainment provided for the wanderer Is of the highest type. Plays, musical come dies (all in German of course) ; "Gesunthcidt" etc. were of the very , best that could be produced. There seemed to be a scarcity of, men, however and we were welcome i almost any place we went. One place in particular that I recall is that i of the Herr Srhultze, a man ot ; enormous proporticais, nearly seven lect tall, almost that wide and Just ns jolly He rould speak very broken English and we were overjoyed when he insisted that we. ns Americans, should remain with —n lamily ns long as we were In Berlin. We did. and thanks to the ingenuity of Jerry, we were able to make quite a little on the side playing Pin ochle. To make along story short, we arrived back on board the ship three days before sailing time and made the acquaintance of the so called secretary to Lord Warthbot tom. He was a timid little man, with «% small mustache which seem ed always ready to twitch every time he spoke. He informed us that the Lord would arrive the next afternoon and could possibly use our services on the expedition. We waited and hoped. The Lord arrived and we talked , to him and when he found out my j qualifications, typist, correspondent.! ■ etc. he "fired” his secretary and gave me the job. So far—so good. The trip was uneventful until we crossed the Equator again and had to initiate some of the crew. I had my Neptune's certificate along with me as luck would have it. I also had my scrapbook and con tinued working on it In spare time— doing the very best that X could to make It as Interesting as possi ble so the folks at home would un- j derstand it all. At any rate we arrived in Sou- ' dan; anchored: and promptly wish- j ed that I had not come on the trip j The heat was almost unbearable; ■ the natives we came In contact with ' were even more dirty than the ! Chinks in Chefoo, China How- j ever, it was to be our lot to learn j more of them. The hunting party was arranged, all of us to ride either an elephant or walk, whichever, wc choose. I rode and how. Three of us cai one elephant and talk about getting sea sick. Hugh! That was mild com pared to being elephant sick! That continual rocking motion all the time, dizzy, tired, weak, thirsty, everything imaginable went, wrong and the further inland that we traversed, the thicker the under brush became, wild animals of every I description would creep up to the camp ftre at night and we could see their eyes shining so brightly, creepy feeling to say the least. Scared? Not much! i Eventually, we arrived at our destination, and for the life of me 11 could not pronounce the name of [the "city", nothing more or less than a group of grass houses built on stilts; a trading post owned and operated by a drunken Englishman, and the most remarkable thing about, the entire town was the English bull dog owned by the trader. That was the largest bull dog I have ever seen. Head the size of a tiger, a body as long and slender as a police dog, and as graceful as could be He sirnpij j would not make friends v itii just anyone but some of us managed to 1 play with him a little. He followed j us on the tiger hunt one Thursday i morning and was killed by a wild* ; cat. Too bad. but he sure did put up a game fight. Several hunts were stagpd. all of them more or less successful as far as gamr was concerned and we de cided to go further into the in terior. We were warned of an out law tribe of cannibals further cast but continued on regardless. We en countered this tribe, two men were killed in the ensuing fight, five of us were wounded and all of the remainder got away but Jerry and myself. That was the moat feroci ous group of humans that I have ever corns across. We were shoved into an ill smell- j ing hole in the ground, littered with ' all kinds of rubbish. everything ^ from bones to tigtr skin, and given ! plenty to eat. Fattening us for the feast to ccme. I suppose. But since our baggage had been brought in 1 and examined, the chief had both of us taken on' and took us to In, shack He hud my scrap book open on (lie floor m front of him, and let me know by signs that he liked it and wanted it. He would point to an interesting photo, ask me with stern? to tell hint what it was and the very best 1 could do would be to try and imitate some animal or something in the picture. It tlie picture v.ar of the Chinese war tone 1 would hold tip a stick like I was gomg to shoot something and he would laugh heartily. Dually, we were given our freedom on the condition that I would leave the book with him for keeps. 1 did, and glud of the chance Vie were escort ed to the edge of the city where wc were before and left to find the way for our.chrs The remainder of our party had returned to Sou dan and wo had to make the trip with the help of a native guide Wc had been given up for lot but managed lo get there before the ship sailed. We then went to Cape Town for a short stay and when we got there, ttie- weather \u somewhat cooler, the native, were more agreeable, the dance balks were filled to overflowing with pretty “mestizos" and Jerry and ni} seif drew our pay again, and Jumped ship. We stayed in Cape' Town for thirteen days and signed on another tramp steamer headed for Buenos Aires. Since tIris story was started 1 have been asked by several if it was an easy matter to get on one of; these steamers that is going around j the world. I would like to mention right here that it is not as easy to "sign on" a steamer as it sounds to most of you. The average fellow, wtthout knowledge of sea-going or ship’s ways would be lost when try ing to get work on one of these tramp steamers. They &r» called "tramp’’ steamers because they are continually going from one piaee to the other, apparently without aim To get. a job on one of them you must first learn the ‘ ropes" and be ; able to obey orders. That is the fust j thing to learn when going to sea. 1 (Other installments ot League’s | story will be published in The | Star.)
