Spotlight Turned On Millions Of Mellon i \ oang Newspaperman Trmffk S1eps j Through Which Family Be came Richest In World. My ELLIOTT HARRIS. In Labor.) j I •Mellon'* Millions.’ by Harvey ! O’Connor—a young newspaper man who has been writing for the labor press for many years—Is the title of a new book which may well be come one of the best sellers of the year. It is a fascinating book in itself, well written and packed with farts which must have cost years of la bor to gather. It deals with the for tunes of perhaps the richest fam ily Inhabiting the jungles of high finance. And It starts with a valuable •send off" from Andrew w. Mellon, himself, who. forsaking his role of dignified silence, rushed Into the dally press to denounce the work as literary racketeering", and to de clare that the author conuses 'scurrility with biography.” A good many chionlcles have to be somewhat scurrilous to be true. No libel suits have been filed against the authoi or publisher of this volume, however. The Pitts burgh “Press’’, right in Andrew Mellon* home town, published a page of excerpts from the book, an«r hasn't been sued yet, either. The book Is coneetly called the •’Biography of a Fortune." It be gins with Thomas Mellon Andrew’s father. Tom wae a farmer's son, but the farm meant too much hard work. He tells in hie autobiography that he wes strongly attracted to the ministry, but there was no money in It so he turned to law Instead. When he got tired of a boarding house, he looked around for a wife. He made a list of the eligible maid ens. with the faults and virtues of each. Courtship interfered greatly with his plans for wealth, so he cut It ae short, as possible, and when he stole a kiss from the lady of his choice he went home at Mice, ‘feel ing’’ he records "unnerved for con versation." Hie wife bore him eight children two of them girls who died in child hood. "Daughters who die young ’ he remarks "are not greatly to fci lamented.” He was more concerned about ore of his sons who was in Milwaukee during the Civil war, and who en listed for 100 days, subject to his father’s consent. That consent was denied, by telegraph, though the thrifty parent followed with a let ter. u manes me sad to see this piece of folly,” wrote Mellon, Sr. "1 had hoped my boy was going to make a smart .intelligent business man. and was not such a goose as to be seduced from his duty by buncombe speeches.” "You are a poor, misguided boy.” wrote his mother. ' My dear son, look to God and ask directions.” From which it seems that in the bright lexicon of the Mellon family a husky youth violates his duty by enlisting when his country is at war. Tom had no such difficulties with his 3rd son Andrew Andy' at 33 met Henry Clay Frick then and the two struck up an alliance that lasted until Frick died. Frick’s specialty was coke, pro duced by the labor of imported "Hunkies,” who were clubbed or shot into submission by the depu ties and coal and iron police. Mr. O'Connor tells the story of some of »he strikes which Frick suppressed with bullet and blackjack. • Mellon watched the struggle through his cold, gray-blue eyes," re ports O'Connor, ‘‘nodded approving ly when Frick triumphed, and Jot ted down for future reference the useful technique." From that time to this, the Mel lon fortune has fought labor unionr, and to get the help of police and deputies and Judges has backed the • rooked political machines which have disgraced Pennsylvania. It is claimed Mellon put up *1, ■‘>00,000 for Harding's campaign fund in 1920. That made him eligible for secretary of the treasury, despite the law which barred anyone ‘ en gaged in trade or commerce" from that high post. The Mellon fortune, O'Connor finds, began with note shaving. Thomas started this. By the time the boys were grown there was a bank, and there were the profits of real estate deals. “Each period of piosperity brought -its harvest of added millions to A W. Mellon,” says O'Connor. "in each succeeding depression, he wielded energetically the broom of foreclosure." Andrews’ alliance with Frick gave the younger man the clue to mod ern financing, in .which the banker ■akes control of a new’ enterprise snd gets the public to put up the money for it. He could see a bar gain as far as a desert vulture can a dying camel For some time he stuck to home affair*—banking, coal, coke, steel, fraction. Then Charles M. Hall de viated a new method for makimr aluminum. They needed more money went to Mellon—and the Mellon family monopolizes the light metal today. A south Slav. Tory Luchicb. An j Infeed to Lucas drilled ibt Spindletop oil well In Texas. He and hts backers spent all their money In capping the giant gusher. Mellon carried on the work, and the JWmlt Is the Gulf Oil Corporation with assets of *761,000,.000. Lucas jot i400.000 But the sum of it all is that the Mellon family controls, dominates or guides corporations with total assets of some *7,000.000.000 In 1929. Mellon married an Irish girl - warm-hearted. warm-tempered — who finally decided that she could not live wit ha cash register any longer. Detectives spent *32,500 on accoustophones to spy on her con versations. Mellon got a law passed through the Pennsylvania legisla - ture enabling him to get a divorce In secret, but the news leaked out to papers outside of Pennsylvania and Mellon was glad to settle, Mellon came to the treasury to save the rich from taxation, and to a large extent did so. He saved himself *828,000 in one year's Income taxes. He presented congress with divers “Mellon plans" all untaxing the rich and some of them got through. His estimates on public revenue were always wrong. He boosted the gambling in the stock market which helped the na tion toward disaster. He refunded more than three billion dollars of taxes, mainly to the super-rich. His oil companies bullied concessions out of South American states; and gunmen employed by his companies murdered strikers—his candid bi ographer tell it all O'Connor Insists that Mellon was not worried by the effect of the de pression on the working population. He refused to lend Pennsylvania *1,000,000 for relief, although, when Governor Plnchot came to ask for the loan, he was shown some gems that "Andy" had Just bought, cost ing *1,170,000. In the winter of 1932-33 the Mel lon family gave *200,000 for relief in Pittsburgh, “Which,” says O’Connor come from the annual dividends of only one of their many banks ” No Addition Wanted Father: You have been calling on my daughter for nearly a year, j young man.

Raleigh.—North Carolina can par ticipate in two of the three plans for applying the Federal recovery program to education. Dr. Arch T. Allen, State Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction, said upon his re turn from Washington, where he attended the meeting of the Nat ional Council of State Superintend ents. Of these, Dr. Allen asserted, the use of public works funds for con struction of needed school build ings, should prove of the most benefit to North Carolina. The oth er plan available in this State is the employment of unemployed teachers in an adiilt educational program. The government plan to utilise relief money In continuing school terms in districts unable to do so themselves is not available for this State, Dr. Allen said, for the rea son that the State, under the uni form eight months' term law. has made provision for operation of the school hr the full term. A few states, he asserted, may get some aid from this source, but he added that there is no posslbillly of states which did not provide school finances falling back on the Federal Government for support of their schools to any large extent This activity is for emergency re lief of unemployed and not essen tially an educational program, and it is distinctly provided that Fed eral relief funds are not intendjd to supercede support from regular channels. Also intended to relieve unem ployments is the adult education program. There was some of this done in North Carolina last year, but the plan has its drawbacks in that all teachers so employed must come from the relief rolls—and to get on those rolls n person must plead destitution. Details will have to be worked out. Dr. Allen said, but he predict ed there would be quite a number of adult classes scattered through out the State. Regular work relict wages will be paid persons on the unemployment rolls who can qualify as iastructors. The State may participate on a relatively large scale in the school building program, the State super intendent said. ADMINISTRATOR# NOTICE Having qualified at administrator of the estate of J. H.

Origin <no invention) of the mod ern alphabet goes back through tne years to be laid at the feet of neces sity. Imagine the inconvenience of our cave-man ancestors who had something of importance to bring to the attention of a kinsman who lived in a cave four or five moun tains away. He must make a ted ious journey in person and if the person to be seen was not at home he had no means of leaving a mes sage but must make another trip if the message was important. We say “origin” because the mod ern alphabet, like Home, was not built in a day but was developed through the years of picture writ ing. Picture writing was undoubt edly the expression of the 'ame urge present in children who have the drawing instinct while young This was the only means by which they could express their thoughts in a written form. Like children, not having any standard form of writing, they could only express themselves in pictures. This is borne out by the fact that the earliest form of writing repre sented pictures of things and action It can readily be seen that the thoughts of man could only be ex pressed in a crude round-a-bout way and must necessarily result in confusion as the pictures that were Intended to be a peace message might be translated as a declara tion of war and cause embarrassing results. Confusion as to the meaning of various picture writing undoubted','/ led to a standardization of the pic tures among tribes or races. But use of hundreds of pictures to con vey a message was a cumbersome method of writing which resulted in further developments. The next step was to use symbols to designate things and then symblls were used to represent the sounds of spoken words rather than to repre sent the things themselves. There we have for the first time a writ ten language and a distinct division of the various languages. As the various symbols are studied It is evident that the system became simplified further by using the sym bols to denote syllables Instead oi words, thus cutting down the num ber of signs needed for writing. We can readily see that the alphabet, as “Topsy” so naively put U. “jest growed.” use, they spreRd rapidly, mainly through trading channels all over the world where there were trading centers and ports and places where NOTICE OF HALE OF LAND Under and by virtue of the authority conferred by deed of trust executed by A.

Armenians developed their alphabets from the Phoeni cians while the Hebrews add Ara bians took theirs from the Arme- j mans. Spread of the Mohammedan ! religion in the seventh century car-; ried with it the use of the Aragic I alphabet and accounts for the use j today of the Arabic characters over widespread areas of Asia and North Africa. It is not hard to trace the English letters directly back to the original Phoenician alphabet. The Englis.i | added the letters J and W to the | Latin alphabet which had been cop- 1 led from the Greek. The Greeks had merely added vowels to the j original Phoenician alphabet and j thereby brought it up to 24 letters, j Also the Greeks changed the cus tom of reading from right-to-left to that of the Western world today of left-to-right. Now the great question Is where did the alphabet of the Phoenician.; originate? Various solutions have been offered by philogists but the one most generally accepted is that the Phoenicians in their trading ex* peditiom must necessarily have been acquainted to some extent with the various forms of syllabic writing in use at this time and they selected symbols as were needed. They strip ped off any cumbersome complica tions and simplified their writing on a truly alphabetical basis. Discoveries of ancient Semitic writings indicate that the use of phonetic and syllabic signs really go back to the time of the Baby lohians. Some phonetic signs are to be found in Egyptian heiroglyphs which date back some 2,000 years previous to the Phoenician alpha bet. This places the actual beginning j of the alphabet with the Semitic people^but the actual alphabet must be placed with the Phoenicians who simplified it for practical use about 1200 or 100 B. C. It remained for the Greeks (who NOTICE In Kuntrior Court. Cleveland County. North Carolina Mary Elizabeth Gregory.

We called it "alphabet" -from the first two Greek letters. Alpha (A) and Beta (B) while some resctibiance may be found in the first two He* brew letters, Aleph and Beth . Our present day letters have gone through many changes since the first Phoenician. For instance, the letter D was at one time represent ed as a triangle but two sides were smoothed down into a curve. The letter I was originally a symbol for a hand while the letter O. was desig nated by a picture of the eye of the head. M was taken from the waves of the sea (Phoenician traders again' and another version is that it was originally pictured by an owl’s head which gradually lost the lower part of the face with its continued us;.. Q was represented by the back of a head that lost other characterist ics leaving the outline of the beau ind neck. Later the nook was twisted to the right to make the tail of the letter now in use. Among interesting facts concern ng the modern alphabet Is that of the Bible's alphabetical verse, Ezra 7:21 that contains all of the letters r>t the alphabet except J but as Latin does not contain a J it may oe classed as complete. Eighteen or 20 words of the Eng lish language contain all of the rowels, but only two—“abstemious’ and “facetious"—contain them in .heir proper order. S. is the first letter of most words vhile E is the most overworked let ;er, it being used more than Any Jther, while Z is the one that Is ised the least. Someone took time once to figure out the possible combinations of ;he 26 letters of the alphabet and found that there were 640,448,401. 733,239,439,360,000 different ways. It his be true, think of the possibi lities of the old Chinese alphabet (hat contained 214 letters! Price Fixing Likely To Retard NR A Plan (By Wake Bridges' Washington. D. C.—Hugh S.

New York, Sept. 20.—Dun and Bradstreet, incorporated, in their i weekly trade review Saturday, said that “overshadowing other trade news of the week were the reports of a strong resumption of consumer buying and a perceptible retarda tion of the industrial downtrend.” The review asserted that clarifica tion of methods of procedure under the various codes has brought greater freedom for progressive ac tion to industrial divisions, while the absence of rain and unseason ably warm temperatures, which prevailed in most districts last week, has permitted the covering of autumn requirements in retail Cen ters to be pursued with more vigor.
