Confederate Vets, Clyde Hoey Given Boost By Writer Torn Crocker'’ looks About At Arias “Boys In Gray” And I’pon Peerless Orator. Editor Cleveland Star—Yes, I am again making your excellent publi cation the medium through which to express my views. No, X thank you. this dissertation Is not a bunch of fustian trying to glorify myself; but a merited set of praise giving honor to where honor is due to a thin, grey line of dauntless heroes and the meed of honor to a few peerless statesmen. The first to whom attention shall be called as the list of snblimatted heroes, shall be my near neighbor lames C. Elliott. On July 12, 1931, he cords up mile post 86 in the tourney of life; and all Indication o his passing 95. He featured as * faithful and heroic champion of l he Gray and the Bonnie Blue Flag in that titanic strife of the sixties; and was captured and kept quite a while as a prisoner of war. While n several severe pitched battles and innumerable skirmishes he exem plified the dauntless hero who came home to sentinel chimneys, ruined fences and often destroyed cattle, mules and horses. Did these heroes in gray act the whining part of a sob sister? Nay, verily; but with the same heroism that caused him to charge the intrepid ranks of the cohorts; enabled him to bind up and regenerate the stricken and impoverished. Among others marking time for that solemn march to "Fame’s eter nal camping ground;’’ are Comrade Mills Surratt, aged 91, T. G. Phil beck, moving up toward 86, A. M. Lattlmorc, also in 86th year; J. M. Morris and J. Z. Falls, both 86. It is worthy of note that A. M.'Lattl more had six brothers in arms and several first cousins. These were all volunteers, some made the su preme sacrifice; while rest were mustered out with untarnished reputations for gallantry and de votion to Ihe cause of the Southern - Confederacy. Their bowed heads and shoulders are proof of physical weakness incident to age with ac ompanying infirmities; but their flashing eyes yet proclaim the hero. Soldiers naturally suggest politi Mans and statesmen; and air of us are led to review the field of in 'umbents and candidate* for the V. S. Senate.

Lookit! ——--» Chicago's newly appointed “offi cial greeter,” George. D. Graw, is shown going into action for the first time with a diminutive Dar ling of the screen as the lucky girl Is taken on a tour of all the wonders of the mid-western me tropolis. George's “girl friend'' is a darling in more ways than one, for her name is .lean Darling, for her name is Jeon Darling, She’s leading “woman" of the qualified. He is the Old Man Elo quent in both council chamber and on the hustings,—a-nd we all con ceded he has adorned any position with signal ability he ever filled. His party loyalty is unsmirched; and in crises he has ever wrought nobly with a valorous spirit of self sacrifice. Nothing but good can be said of Grist; but it is for the peer less orator and gifted and patriotic citizen and patriot; Clyde Roark Hoey of Shelby. He ranks with most gifted orators in the state and is remarkably rounded up in distinction and statecraft. His character, pubhc and private, Is clean as a hound's tooth; and he is a total abstainer from all in toxicants; and even tobacco. While not of a ranting, boastful nature— he is religious in his orderly walk and conservation; and no body ever heard him use profane, vulgar, nor obscene expression He truly exemplifies the character, Behold an Israelite in whom is wo guile and out of whose mouth proceedeth no evil nor profane language.'' Can a man in the State be found who exemplifies a higher order of ability, purity of life, a greater zeal for the principles of stalwart, Jef ferson and Jackson Democracy? His energy is unsurpassed, his de votion to tenets and tradition is known of all men to be fadeless and unfaltering. Where can you find a better defender of his politi cal party,—or a man w'ho will gird himself for the battle royal of party polemics, throw away the scabbard and fight to a finish with his true and tried political Damascus blade? While I make no claims to being a political Warwick; I am often beset with presentiments that like coming events cast their shadows before. This iform and feature 3hows Clyde R. Hoey in the Senate. I -Melvin L. White, Home Mortgage Co. Again UnHer Fire I — Petition For Receivership This Time > Is In State Court Hickory, July 14—The Home Mortgage company, of Hickory, to day was ordered to show cause be fore Judge Walter E. Moore of the state superior court, at Newton, July 16. why a permanent receiver for its affairs should not be ordered. The petition for a receivership for the company, which recently de feated similar action instituted in federal court, was taken out by D. T Applegate, of Hickory, a director in, the company and a member of its executive committee. Mr. Applegate's complaint alleged that some of the company’s credi tors, particularly S. W. Straus and company, of New York, are taking advantage of other creditors by se curing action on their claims in such a manner as to warrant a receiver ship for the "benefit of all credi tors.’’ He alleged the Home Mortgage company has $10,500,000 in gold bonds outstanding and it recently defaulted on the Interest of $4,000, 000 worth of these obligations. Part of the collateral backing the bonds, he alleged, was sold July 7 for $400,00 to the North Carolina Mortgage company which, he as serted, is a subsidiary of s. W. Straus and company He alleged that the Straus com pany was a large stockholder in the Mortgage company and this action was an attempt to take advantage: of other creditors. Fall Thinks Back To Prospecting Days I.ikes To Think Back When He * Prospected For Gold In Old Mexico. El Paso, Texas.—As he lies In bed. an invalid. Albert B. Fail, former secretary of the interior no\s under sentence to a year in prison, often thinks longingly of the da5 s when he prospected tor gold in the moun tains of Old and New Mexico. •I never found much gold, he ad mitted recently, "although I did come upon some fairly valuable de posits of mixed ore 'But the life in the open, knock ing along through mountains can yons, stimulated always by the hope of striking it rich any minute, ap peals to me now." Political power, which he knew as United States senator from New Mexico and as a member of Presi dent Hardings cabinet, long stnce has lost any charms for him. In fact, if he had his life to live again he probably wouldn't touch a politi cal question with a stick. He'd Be a Rancher. Td be a New Mexico rancher," he said, “living close to the mountains, where the water and the air . are pure, and friends one makes are friends as long as life lasts.". This dream of the perfect exist ence is far from that which Fall has known for several years. At his home here, he spends all his time In bed, hoping that presi dential clemency may sate him from the prison term imposed when he was convicted of accepting $100,000 front F L Doheny, oil man, in re turn for naval oil reserve leases. Physicians have diagnosed his case as clironic pleurisy with con gestion in one lung and a pronounc ed tendency toward pneumonia. He reads light magazines, when he is able, and some btograpnv, his love in stronger years. His wife and his two daughters. Mrs. C. C. Chase and Mrs Jouett Elliott are his principal sources of companionship and comfort. Once considered a wealthy man, he says he Is now virtually penni less as a result of his long legal fight. Their house In El Paso is owned by Mrs, Pall and always has been. Pall's old ranch at Three Riv nyers, N, M . I* now owned by Do heny, who obtained it on a fore closure several years ago Seldom Bitter. Fall, nevertheless, is seldom bit ter, his friends say. He has no apologies to make for having leased the Elk Hills naval reserves to Doheny and the Teapot Dome to Harry Sinclair, but main tains they were in the best interests of the country and that history will prove them to have been. "Those leases and my fight against the League of Nations are achievements of which I am proud and which will give me an honor able place in history," he said. ‘The former never have been considered dispassionately, but rather accom panied always by cries of, 'Fraud! Fraud!" He is 69 years old Answering a question as to whether he would write or have written his own story when the bribery case ftnallv is set tled and off his mind, he said: "It. will be too late then.” U.
