^ . V ' v . PEG-LEG GRAHAM. Noted Confederate Veteran About to Pass. Rob Graham (Peg Log) is lying at the point of death at Rutherfordton, N. C.. and the Charlotte Observer of last Tuesday published a message from nim to this effect: "It Is about over with me. I'll soon be gone. I want to be buried at Sharon in the uniform that the Daughters of the Confederacy gave me. and I want' my Sunday-school class to be present at the funeral. I have no further desire now except to be 'put away all right.* " Referring to this message the Observer of Wednesday has the following editorial: "OLD'BQB". ; j , ... "As n matter of course Peg Leg Graham's frieuds'WiU . see that lie is' ?- -- ...Ml Un "put away an ngni. nc wu> shrouded for his final sleep in the bright new uniform the Daughters of the Confederacy at Sharon gave him, and of which he was so proud, and his chair in the council hall of the Confederate Veterans in Charlotte will be tilted to the table; and to be sure his Sunday school .class will be assembled at the grave .to do the last honors. His expressed desire to have these pupils present at the last ceremonies, recalls one of the happiest ciuses In "reformation" on record. Boh Graham went to the war a militant .soldier. He believed in taction and he was. always in action. He was hardened and made reckless under experiences of the war and lie came home transformed into a rampant citizen. He had left a leg in Virginia, and he went thumping through life with one of these clumsy hickory contrivances which became a common equipment with the Confederate veteran. He did not affect the . cork leg, because he preferred something that the Yankees had not made. And also, during the days of Reconstruction his hickory .leg gave convenient service as a weapon. On one occasion, at a 'time when the scalawags and cam> followers were inciting the negroes in Charlotte to riot and had collected them in a hall over -i hnr-room on Tryon street, where they were being groomed for an outbreak of violence against the whites and when nobody appeared to know what move to make in common defense of the town, Peg Leg undertook to handle the situation on his own hook. Alter he had thoroughly primed himself for the job, he mounted hit. horse and went clattering up the stairway and into the hall, where he galloped around, his hickory leg sticking out like the blade of a scythe and operating in pretty much the same manner. The hall was cleared In short order and alt danger of an "uprisingof the blacks" had been permanently averted. J "Hut the causes for strenuous activities of the kind were gradually removed and Col. Hob. Crohn in relapsed into the ways of peace and conservatism, the only thing that could draw him away from his farm being the political meeting. There was always a whooping-up of things when Peg Leg was on hand?and it was a mighty uninteresting occasion when he was not among those present. It was about 1?) years ago that he suddenly accepted the serious view of life and shortly thereafter, friends making- inquiry about the infrequently of his visits to town, learned tlitfl he had "joined the church," and had become interested in Sunday school work, heginning as member of a class and rising to leadership. The boast of his later life was his Sunday school class, the same which he had hoped .will beon liand to see him "put away all right." In later years, also, his mind dwelt seriously on the-river over which he was soon to "cross." That is the favorite way with the Confederate veteran of speaking of his anticipated reunion with Stonewall Jackson. The day is close at hand when 1'cg Leg Graham-will "cross over the river and rest under the' shade of the trees." How inhny of his glorious comrades lie must have had in mind when he gave expression to the thought! They will he waiting, for him, no doubt; and we may imagine the joyous illumination of his face as he goes forward to meet them. He will find, as so many thousands who have gone before him have found, that the last reunion is the soldier's dream fulfilled, where all burdens are dropped away and it is for them the crown and the hallelujah! "Yes; Old Hob will be laid away all right, and his Sunday school people will he there to drop the flowers." ? i WORKER SUES UNION Holds Labor Organization Responsible for Loss of His Job. The eyes of organized labor were today turned upon Chattanooga. Tenn. where a lawsuit has been instituted that may have wide effeet.. William Helton, a former employe i of the Southern railway, is suing the ! Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen for! damages in the sum of $5,000. Helton ! claims that the defendant caused him j to lose his position. The suit is he- j lieved to he without precedent and hecause of its nature is expected to draw nationwide interest. Two questions are involved in the suit. They are: Has a non-union laborer, who has lost his job at the instance of organized labor, any remedy at law? Can an incorporated labor organization be sued for monetary damages resulting from t lie loss of a plaintiff's position through its efforts? Should a verdict against the labor union be returned, the closed shop question would be greatly affected, it was believed here. Helton alleges that he is a former employe of the Southern Railway company, having been working as a switchman.

A senator said ~ he did. know why and spoke as follows: "Two or three years ago you gentlemen in the treasury called in .bankers at various times and in connection not only with Liberty bonds/ but ^30 with commodities, you advised and encouraged these banks to make very j liberal loans. They did so, and j eighteen months ago you, in utter violation of all the pledges and promises, j notified these banks that they were j carrying frozen credits and that they j must liquidate instanter. Is it any I therefore. If when VOU now tell j banks that the Federal Reserve System will take care of their loans, tfcey view you as people whose word is not to be trusted and on whose pledges no I reliance whatever can be placed? V "Now catch the point. When the treasury undertook to guarantee to' mid-west bankers that these notes for the aid of the livestock Industry would be renewable six months hence, the mid-west bankers would not trust the assurances. There might .be a different secretary of the treasury in six months and he might say that the previous secretary had no rigbt to make promises, But these mid-west bankers were perfectly willing to come along on the same proposition identically. under the leadership of Mr. Morgan, because they have every confidence that when Mr. Morgan comes to demand performance at the end of the six months, he will get performance." What a fearful condition of incom petence and dishonor is here indicated when tlie statement of a private banker is accepted in preference to the statement of the U. S. treasury department and of the Federal Reserve Banking System! Until President Harding removes from office the men responsible for bringing about this complete loss of credit in the faith and honor of the treasury department as it was operated under Houston and of the Federal Reserve Board as managed during the last few years, there cannot be any restoration of confidence in this country. if President Harding will show . . . * cation of Fertilizer Pays iglit kind of fertilizer is used and on is made early in the growth of tide application-gives good profits. results the fertilizer used for side mist furnish quick acting nitrogen lieation and for uniform results the f hard lumps.VDIAN n a j Ammonia is the ideal side-dressing fertilizer.
