C.f Aug. 21,?Quit prevailed here today after Sunday bt ing marked by the blasting of th water main supplying the Soutbor railway shops and burning severe box cars in the yards and early morn ing outbreak of apparently hanqlea firing. The lack of water caused con side i ably delay in the movement o trains. Rnnnhnv M ^ A Of\ ? 41. Wf 4.V, 1/CV^lUp ments in the railroad shop strik situation here today included th blowing up of the 12 inch water mail which supplies the Southern railway shops and the hundreds of locomo lives that are used out of Spencer the burning of one or more bad orde: cars near the yard limits while thi water supply was cut off, and the ar rival of 26 recruits for the working force at the shops. The water main apparently wat blown up by dynamite. The explo sion occurred at a point inside thi shop yards, between the fence sur rounding the property and a row o. box cars and at a point about 7$ feet from a picket stand. The livei of several pickets, it is said, wen endangered by the explosion, whicl awakened many of the citizens oi Spencer, entirely blew out a sectioi of the pipe and tore a hole in thi gruunu me size 01 a small house A stream of water flooded that sec tion of the property until the watei could be cut off. The cutting off of the water sup ply resulted in several hours delay t< main line trains between Washingtoi and altanta and also to branch lin< trains, as* engines could not be pro vided to take these trains out of th< terminal here. Throughout the day Sheriff J. H Krider and Southern officials have made vigorous efforts to fix responsi bility for the explosion but said earl] tonight they had obtained no clue No charge has been preferred agains anyone. Strikers are reported to bav< told the officials that the work wai done "from the inside" and that noni of their men had anything to do wit! stirred Spencer as no other inciden since the strike began; Promiscuous firing near the picke lines on the East Spencer side jus u?r - i 1 - uuiuif imyugiii, Mttiut-u uuutucio u citizens as far away as Salisbury and caused nurses at the hospital; there to make ready to receive in jured persons, they and others ii Salisbury believing at riot had oc curred. Authorities bnve been un able to determine who did the shoot ing. As a result of the developments o the last 24 hours, with the increase* tenseness, it was expected that Colo nel Don Scott, in command of the 50( national guardsmen encamped thre< miles from Spencer, would plao ti'oops on guard duty around th< shops, but this had not been don< eai'ly tonight. Master Mechanic Mc Bride, in charge of the shops, sai< early tonight that while the oc currences of the last day and nigh would justify him in asking tha troops be placed on guard duty th> matter would be determined by sub sequent developments. Colonel Scot, said that his men were ready for in stant service when called upon by th< sheriff. Governor Morrison or South ern railway officials. No arrests had been made early to night. Sa'isbury, N. C., Aug. 20.?Th< blowing up of a section of the 12 incl main which supplied water to th? Southern railway shops at Spence: and the living quarters of the nev workers employed to take the strik erg' places, combined with the verj tense general situation, led Col Don Scott, in command of the eigh companies of the national guardsmei encamped near here, to consider to day the advisability of placing troopi on guard duty at the shops and else where at strategic points. Late thi* U/vtirorrnf if uroo iiVftfl Avof AA/ that this action would not be takei tonight until there war* an outbreak actual or imminent. Meanwhile th500 troops are kept in readiness foi instant action, with transportation fa cilities ready to move them withou delay. Salisbury people were excited abou 4 o'clock this morning when report of many shots were heard from th< direction of Spencer, and this is be lieved to have given o**ig'n to report1 widely circulated during the day tha a riot had occurred. However, so fa as can be learned here, the author! ties have not been able to aScertaii where the shooting was or by whom These incidents constituted th only disorders reported up to ai early hour tonight. No casualtie. have been reported and no arrest have been made during the day. Mrs. W. P. Whitaker has returne from a several weeks' stay in th mountains. S. C. GIRL SETS ! ?

Tho s ' Ameiican team was leading in the ^ point score when half of the events E '? had been finished. Wenkness in the i ' sprints was responsible for their fail- 1 2 ure to secure first place. Lucille God- ? bold, Estill, South Carolina, and Cor- t ^ nelia Sabie, Newark, N. J., were the t star point earners for the American I ' team, the former establishing a world I record in the eight pound shot put, * 2 putting alternately with both arms, at 20 meters and 22 centimeters, and t ' Miss Sabie doing the 100 yard hurdles " 3 In the record time of 14 and 2-5 sec- ^ 8 onds. * ~ Miss Godbold was fourth in the * 1,000 metre run, which was won by * Mile.

Sabie was third in the running broad * * iump and Miss Nancie Vorhees v United States, tied Miss Carrie Hatt, ^ r England, for first place in the running high jump at 1.45 meters. Miss 8 Maude Rosenbaum, United States, 8 finished next to Miss Godbold In the 1 Shot put. ' 8 The American relay team, which v finished second, was declared dis- r " tanced by the officials and placed c fourth "because the Czecho-Slovakian r -e'ay team interfered with the " ' French team at the third relay while c the French team was 'running in sec p ' ond place."

The tryouts ^ for the American team were held in ^lew York city in May. Assuming that the figures have ^ been correctly transmitted, Miss + f 'iodbold's performance in Paris was j j extraordinary. Twenty meters, 22 j centimeters, is 6G feet, three inches 0 j plus. Miss Godbold's own record us- c intr one arm. was 3R feet. It inehes. I Even if the figures were jumbled in p , transmission it seems clear that Miss p 1 Godbold established a new world rec- s _ ord. p I Miss Godbold is a sister to Miss r . Sarah Godbold, physical director 01* r I Chicora college, who also is trainer r t for the women students at the Uni- s , versity of South Carolina.
