"There's another reason why I am in favor of a bonus for soldiers that I did not mention in my speech at the Filbert picnic," said Congressman W. F, Stevenson in an interview with the reporter. "That's this: The administration is getting ready to pay contractors over the country the sum of about ^3,000,000,000 because of contracts which they had for war munitions and armament 4when the armistice came and which therefore they did not fill. "That programme is going to be pushed through by the Republicans tn addition to the millions that they have already given the railroads and the other millions of indebtedness thai they are going to cancel for them and still other millions that they are going to give them. "Now here they are going to pay these millions and billions to the railroads and contractors and yet they say that the country is right now too poor to pay the fellows who did the fighting and many of whom were maimed and disabled. It is not fair and it is only simple justice that the World War men got something. I repeat, as I said at Filbert, that while it may cost us a'l something to pay the bonus I am going to do all in my power to keep up the fight and 1 am quite confident that I can maintain my position on the matter anywhere. "TUama Lt* n<\ nVionnn fni- t Hr? QfilfTtop 1 (ICIC ro IIU CIIUIIVV ?v. VHV UUIU.V. bonus *o be passed by this congress," Mr. Stevenson concluded; "because the president has already had it pigeon holed. But another day is coming." Glad the Camp is Gone. "I Jim delighted to know that Camp Jackson will be abandoned," said Former Governor Cole L. Blease, while in Yorkville, last Thursday en route to the Filbert picnic. "That camp, especially since the armistice, has certainly been a stumbling block for Columbia and there is no way in the world to estimate its cost to the capital because of increased immorality and all that sort of thing. "It has been the cause <?f the downfall of many an Innocent girl and it has caused the city of Columbia to gain a most unenviable reputution for immorality?a reputation that she wi'l be unable to live down for a long time to come. "Now during the war while boys of our own state were training there, ii was a different matter altogether. But since then some of the scumiest scum in all the earth has congregated then :md there have been numerous robberies, various other kinds of disorder, assaults on white women and in fact vice and viciousness has been rampant. "Now understand, I don't bring that indictment against all the personnel of the camp, liut the retards since tin armistice show that crime has been or the increase among the soldiers, although even now there are included in the camp many fine men. "And yet there are some of oui more or less prominent citizens of Columbia, who would keep it there. They came to me and asked my assistance in keeping .it there. I have som< pretty strong friends in Washington, and it might have been that I could have been instrumental in having |; retained. Understand, I don't say that I could. But I refused to lift a finger for it. What are the hundreds ana thousands of dollars that it brings to the city monthly compared with tin robbeyr of the virtue of one woman, tc say nothing of the increase in other crime and general lawlessness T havt no hesitancy in saying that 1 shall be pleased when the last vestige of Camp Jackson is removed." About Pellagra. A York county physician was talking: "I can't say for South Carolina," si be. "because my practice is cor,fined tf Y >rk county; but there is no increase in pellagra in this county. You know there is a whole lot of monkey business about this pellagra, anyhow. Wc don't know anything much about it. In fact, we really don't know whethei there is uny such thing or not. We sa> that lots of the folks whom we commit to the asylum have pellagra. Severn ^ears ago you remember, some of U: said that it was caused from eatini too tnucji corn bread. That theory became spread about pretty good and every mother w; s so afraid that slit would give her family pellagra, tha corn bread disappeared from many ta ides for a long while as an article o diet. Yet we are all agreed again < i the theory that corn I>read is one of tlx most wholesome breads known. ' Jtemember that fellow Giles, win murdered his wife over at Kock Mil and got away with it on a game of in sanity that he managed to pull over oi the judge and the jury? lb ni. tube that a celebrated alienist of this stat testified that Giles was in the las stages of pellagra and wasn't respon si hie or at least gave testimony to tha effect? Well, 'Giles didnt' stay at th usylun\ long, you know, and when h j came out nothing was said about pel! legra. "Now the Federal health authorities .are uuttinir out this dope about pel la ~ w " f gra increase in the south. Nothing to it. They are doctors, you know, and aie often guessers like the rest of us. Tell your reader? not to get scared. I "But say, don't mention my name In j what you say. I don't want to get in dutch with some of my professional brethren." I Says Miss Melinda Melville, 38: The man who fond'y fancies that he i "understands women" goes through life with one foot in the quicksand and the other or. a banana peel. Heigho! Every time you discover a new amusement, somebody labels it "sin," and turns it into an irresistible temptation. So imperishable is the spirit of Adam that even while a man is standing before the stove stirring his home-brew, he will calmly argue that a woman "drove him to it." It takes almost as much Christian faith to leave a good-looking husband around town all summer as it does to leave a good-looking umbrella in thr I church vestibule. * A woman's beauty may be gaug"di half-way between what her husband thinks she looks like, before breakfast, and what she fancies she looks like in the mirror, after dinner. % The easiest way to make a slow horse fast is to feed him just a little less than he wants; and the easiest way to keep a man devoted is to give him just a little less than he asks. Youth regards the ladder of fame as a shining stairway with velvet-covered rounds; but those at the top know thai :t is a greased pole, with a press agent at the foot, boosting and shouting, and I many a hard drop back to earth. rPli.. n.niiai- thinku lion veil that nil body has thought to Increase the high cost of spooning, by putting a quarter- J meter on the moon. Alas! Infatuation, like paralysis, is so often all on one side! I Collecting Bad Debts. "This business of collecting bad accounts is surrounded by incidents that carry elements of humor as well as tragedy, and sometimes I could find J many things to laugh at, if it were not I for the fact that there is so often j something else that makes me want to cuss." So declared a magistrate to View.-* and Interviews the other day, while ^discussing the subject of collecting bad bills. And he went on: "In the first place, it is a rare thing that anybody ever give us a bill that he thinks is worth a cuss, and in nine cases out of ten we get the job not so much because the creditor is still hoping to get his money as because he has become so vexed at the debtor thai he has begun to feel that if he cannot make that d rascal pay he will give him as much troub'e as possible. "I have had such folks to come to me with a proposition like this: 'B K owes me $25, and if you can get it 1 will give you half." "Usually I tell such folks that I will do the best I can, but of course, I will not expect anything beyond my usual commission of from 10 to 25 per cent. "Well, 1 get after L5 K and he comes across with say $12.50 or $15, and when I go to the creditor with that sum, I generally tind that he has changed his mind a little, and ho either proposes that 1 get my commission out of the next installment on the debt, or that I should make the creditor pay my commission over and above the face of ihe debt and just -s apt as not I generally get my trouble for my pains. "It is quite a common experience with us magistrates that when we go after a debtor, instead of the debtor paying us he goes to the creditor and pays him in whole or in part, and then just as apt as not the creditor tells us that it is up to us to go after the debtor and make him pay the costs of coleetion. "Sometimes I try to figure out the difference between the debtor and the creditor in his relation to the magistrate, and 1 wonder whether after all the one is any worse than the other. But of this I have very little doubt: Unless we magistrates are to come in somewhere somehow for a little pay 1 out of these transactions, I do not see what we want anything to do with i them anyway." j * FARMERS TO FIGHT Organizations To Oppose Reduction of Certain Taxation. Representatives of farmer organi1 /.ations today gave notice to the house ways and means eommittee, on openi ing hearings on tax revision, that the > -irricultoral interests will light redue i | ion of taxes now i m loosed upon proj itable corporations and wealthy itulii ! vidnals.

ROCK HILL STRIKE | Textile Workers at Highland Park and Carhartt \o. 2 Are Still Out. BOTH SIDES ARE STANDING PAT 1 Workers Claim Management Will Agree to Nothing Except Destruction of the Union?Claim Unionism in Rock Hill to Stay and That They ! . are Going to Stick?Interest in Charlotte Situation. (By a Staff Corresponde it.) | Rock Hill, July 30?Operatives of the ! Highland Park mill in Itock Hill didn't accept the invitation if the mill management extended them to go hack to work last Monday. There is no telling when the strike situation here will be settled and while there is little doubt but that both he management and the workers would like to get trouble settled and the wheels to turning again, it is eviden: just now that both sides are determined to jazz along for a while at least. According to the strikers the management wanted them to surrender all their rights as union workers in order I ti\ hnf>L- -heir lob T'he^ sav that the management wanted to break the back of the lextile union and the union people of course don't, vant their back broken. The Conditions According to a reliable union man here tbe management propos ed for the strikers to go back on the old wage scale provided: 1. That Amos Hellinan, president of tho local union; E. Gettys, treasurer and Carl Robinson textile union I committeeman, be kicked out of an office and out of a job. '2. That the operatives agree to j hereafter deal with the management in.io-wiiiaiu nrui nut as committee- I men and that the principal of collec| tive bargaining he henceforth and forever barred at the Highland Park. | Now, according to the Tex'ile workers, that would be a surrender of j werything they have, been working | or and would mean death of Textile j unionism in Rock Hill. Their officers have led the fight j for them, they say, and they are cerj lainly not going back on their leaders. They have a right to select their committeemen or representatives, they say to hold up their end against the management and they are therefore going to sit steady in the beat. ( And the management is as deter- j mined is they are. "Now that is the situation," the textile worker who supplied the information went on to say. "Please don't mention my name. It would cause me all kinds of troubl?. "You don't believe it would, eh? Well let me tell you something: Some time ago I was employed at another mill in Rock Hill. The management ! wanted us to go in for group insurance. "We were approached separately and when they came to me I asked if it would mean a loss of a job if we j didn't take it. "I was told 'most emphatically not.' i "Then I asked for a few day's time j to study the matter and after careful j consideration I informed my superior I * r?r\t in trn Into it. I trial 1 nan uci-iuvu ??v?v ?.w 0.. ? "And just a few days after that I ! was given my time." Interest In Charlotte Strike. Textile workers in Hock Hill are | keenly interested in the strike of tex- ; tile workers in North Carolina. Num- 1 hers of them go to Charlotte on Sundays to spend the day with their ! friends and fellow workers in strike there and in order to get a lire on the situation. They say that there is absolutely no truth in the stories being piinted in the Charlotte newspapers to the effect that the strikers are hur.gry and ill-provided for and that their condition is a desperate one. They claim that the strikers have plenty to eat and j I clothes to wear and that tliej are de' termincd to tight it out. Hock Hill union people are helping j Charlotte union people through collections taken for their benefit. They are also carrying them vegetables from their gardens here and are doing what they can to entourage them by their conversation. Two Mills Closed. The textile situation here is not healthy by a great deal. Carhartt j Mill No. 2, at Carhartt station, near here, has not turned a wheel in months and months. There is no indication that work will he resumed tny time soon. The Highland I'ark operatives have been out several weeks now. The j latter mill employs about 20') operai lives and local merchants and other | commercial houses are feeling pretty keenly the tie up. Hock ilill used to draw a p etty big , trade from Carhartt No. 2, and that i trade is also being missed. I'nion people say that they regret ; i very much the fact that i. strike i should have come in Hock Hill at this | 1 4 * - !? < ???!!

'"Organization will win.' We know thai. We know that there is a migh:\ j ' liuv.J now since unionism has. broken 1 \ k into the south. We are called Bolsheviks, radicals, anarchists and everything.

"We people who work in the textile plants of the South are human beings wity hearts and minds and souls. We have pride and self respect. We want our children educated. We want them to have a chance to compete in the world with the children of other workers.

"We may lose this fight. But we shall fight ugaln. Textile Unionism Is in the south to stay. It is in Hock Hill to stay.

AID FOR DISABLED MEN Government Officials Wi.l Tour Soulh Carolina. Mujor G. Heyward Mahon, Jr., state^ commander of the American legion, who with Fred W. Graham, service orflcer of the local past of the American Legion, attended a meeting of the district heads of the War Risk Insurance Bureau, The United States Public Health Service and the Federal Board of Vocational Training in Atlanta, aplained the plans adopted for the cleanup campaign, says the Greenville Piedmont. "A clean-up squad" will come to South Carolina on August 15 and starting at Greenville on that day, will work every county and almost every town in the state, ending their tour at Spartanburg, on November 11. The squad will include five men, a doctor from the Public Health Service, a compensation expert from the bureau, a representative of the Federal Board 01 Vocational Training, a representative of the American. Legion and the Rea Cross. They will go out with instrucp'nim rvf n rilx abled ex-service man or woman. The doctor will make the examination on the spot, and if a man needs hospitalization, he will be furnished with transportation to the hospital and authority to enter. His compensation claim will be settled forth with, and if he is entitled to compensation his papers wil' be sent to Washington complete, so that a check will be received in*a few days. It the man in question needs vocational training rather than hospital treatment, the Federal Board man will fix him up on the spot. His family and dependants will be taken care of by the Bed Cross and the American Legion if this Is necessary. Every effort will be made to reach every ex-service man in the state who is in need of help from the government and according to Col. Forbes' orders, in cases in which there is any doubt, the disabled man will be given the benefit of the doubt and will be given hospital treatment pending the settlement of the claim, if it is impossible to settle the claim on the spot. Traveling a week ahead of the clean up squad there will be an experienced publicity man, who will see that every person in the county knows when the squad will be in that county and where they wi'l be. He will use the tele- ! phone, newspapers and other methods to reach the wen. According to Major Mahon, the campaign is the most business like anu thorough ever undertaken by the bureau. and gives every promise of rendering invaluable service to the men of South Carolina who went to the war. ? Associated Press dispatches of last week told of the tragic outcome of the efforts of \V. E. Stone, president of Purdue University at Lafayette, In- i diana to scale Mount Eanon, in Alberta, Dominion of Canada. Mr. Stone was accompanied by his wife and their I ambition was to be first to get to the top of Mount Eanon, which had not previously been climbed. After some days of perilous climbing the two got within 5 minutes of the top of the mountain. Suddenly, without warning, Mr. Stone lost his hold and fell. Mrs. Stone was slightly be!ow. When she saw her husband shoot downward several thousand feet, she started to descend by means of a long rope. When she came to the end of the rope she found herself dangling in the air. sue neiu on as ionK a? ?"? *-uum uuu then had to let loose, expecting to go on down to certain death. She lodged on a narrow ledge within ten feet. When searchers found her ten days la for she was barely alive; but has since been nursed back to comparative safety. Mr. Stone fell about 5,000 feet. Airs. Stone saw his body strike on the side of a cliff and bound from side to side. When rescued r.he was nearly 3,000 feet below the point from wliicn her husband fell. . . V- . I ON THE TAR HEEL SIDE Cleveland County Farmers Have Unusually F!ne Crop Prospects. SHFIRY nillTF k PRIKPFBniiS riTV UIILLUI yUUL n A IIUVI LIIVvU Ulll 1 Enquirer Staff Correspondent Flivvers Info Western York, Cherokee and Cleveland Counties ? Interesting Facts About Progressive Sections Bordering on York. Touching portions of three counties ?York. Cherokee and Cleveland on a flying trip in a flivver to Shelby, N. C., one has opportunity to see a wonderful crop prospect and gets the idea that Cleveland has it on both western York and eastern Cherokee for an outlook. That does not detract from the fine prospect ahead of the farmers in Yoik and Cherokee, however because many farmers say that it is the best known in years and the crop is there to snow tor itseir. Hut up in Cleveland county when one gets in the vicinity of Grover and from thence on to Shelby a distance of eleven miles, the cotton looks larger and seems to have a better color. There is need of rain, however, and if it doesn't come | pretty soon there is a strong probabi- j lity that the prospect at the end of a I couple of weeks won't look so bright. There is much Tine corn in the vicinity of Patterson Springs, small village about four miles east of Shelby. In fact there is much corn between Grover and Shelby along with cotton. Cleveland county farmers have always practiced the "Raise Your Own Foodstuffs" doctrine, and it seems that they are trying to outdo themselves this year. Well informed Cleveland county farmers will tell you that the corn acreage has been Increased this year. Rut there has been little if any reduction in cotton acreage although the use of fertilizer has been cut in twain. Between Shelby and King's Mountain, a .distance of fourteen miles, it is almost all cotton, although it may be that the farmers living along the way have their corn planted away off the national highway. In Cleveland county ai in York county, there ore a number of towns. There is King's Mountain, which, by the way is getting to be almost as large as Shelby. There is Patterson Springs and Eurls and Fallston and Roiling Springs and Cnsar and other small towns and villages. Casar is located in the foothills of the South Mountains and it is in that vicinity that a lot of North Carolinians and a cnnii mnnv South Carolinians get in trouble from time to time on account of flirtations with booze. Up in the South Mountains Just beyond this little village of Casar it is said that lots of moonshine liquor is made. Folks up that way, it is said, believe that they have a sort of divine right to make liquor. Revenue officers as a rule don't hang out in those South Mountains a great deal because they have learned from past experience that it isn't exactly healthy. So they content themselves with hanging around Cafear and nabbing cars from North Carolina and from South Carolina as they start out of there with the contraband. Dr. H. D. Wilson, a prominent citizen of Shelby told the reporter an interesting story the other day^T how Casar got its name. It seems that when the citizens of the community decided to start a town there they agreed that it should be called "Czar" in honor of the Czar of Russia who was living and doing well then. So the postmaster was directed to inform the postoflfice department that the new town was to be calied "Czar." But the postmaster wasn't a very good speller. "Czar" wasn't a very familiar name to him and he got it wrong, spelling it "Casar." And it has been "Casar" ever since. A beautiful town is Shelby, lying close to the foothills of the mountains. It is larger than Yorkville, having a population of about 5,000. Yet it reminds one of Yorkville very much because of the beautiful trees which line the curb of almost every street. They are tall and stately trees that afford much comfortable shade and Shelby citizens like Yorkville (the most of them) would consider it an unpardonable crime to cut those trees down. The town is on the Marion & Kingvilie division of the Southern Railroad and Seaboard Air Line railroad. It has five large cotton mills, a large roller mill, several nice hotels, handsome churches, handsome homes surrounded by beautiful lawns. It is surrounded by one of the richest farming sections of North Carolina and it bears an air of prosperity and plenty i twelve months in the year. The Cleveland county court house j sets in the middle of a beautiful lawn upon which grow scores of big trees. It is the center of town and the lawn is used as a public park by scores and scores of Shelby people and Cleveland ers. Especially popular is it on Sunday. Comfortable benches have been provided for the convenience of those j who would sit there. Farmers and i farmers wives coming to Shelby on a ! Saturday spread their lunch on that I lawn and have picnic dinners all their | own. Young couples go there in the ' f- 4 1 1 -vw.? W, evening lO spuuil. rauicis ??.uu luuuiers and the children out for a walk on Sunday afternoon stop there for a lit lit- j 1,4 tie while. A political spell binder drops into town and he speaks to the folks from the courthouse steps because there is plenty of room for his audience. The principal business houses of the little city surround the court house square. Large mercantile 'establishments and groceries, neat and natty in ug aiuifs, unite quarieis ttiiu me like. Very compact is this main business district. One may stand on the court house square and locate almost any business place for which he may be looking'. A comparatively young town is Shelby which is growing by leaps and bounds. It was established about 1842. Not nearly so old as Yorkville, and yet each year has marked its steady growth and the development of its resources. A number of noted North Carolina statesmen and politicians live in Shelby. Among them is Hon. Clyde R. Hoey, said to be the finest stump speaker in North "Carolina. Hon. O. Max Gardner, former lieutenant governor of North Carolina who was defeated for the gubernatorial nomination last year by Governor Cameron Morrison of Charlotte, lives there. Judge E. Yates Webb, for many years representative of the Ninth North Carolina District in congress and now judge of the United States district court lives in Shelby. Judge James L. Webb of the North Carolina Superior Court lives in Shelby. And there are many othei North Carolina citizens of note who live in the foothill city. Shelby citizens tell you with pride that Shelby is the native home of Rev. Thoneas Dixon, author of "The Klansman," "Leopard's Spots," and other famous works having to do with the Reconstruction Period of the South." The scenes for his stories are laid in Shelby and vicinity and if you have time they'll take pleasure in showing ( you just where this thing mentioned in Dixon's books happened and that thing. Dixon no longer lives in Shelby but every once in a while he comes down from New York to visit the friends of his boyhood days. A kindly, hospitable, hustling town Is Shelby and a wonderfully progressive county is Cleveland. Their roads | would make it appear that South Car- ' olina hasn't any. EAT MORE MEAT Dr. McCampbell Believes Dangers are Exaggerated. Much has been said and written re- I garding the dangers of eating meat, | writes Dr. C. W. McCampbell In the Kansas City Star. The danger Is said to lie largely In the excess protein supplied by the meat eaten. Authorities differ regarding the dally protein requirement of the body. The amounts < suggested vary from 75 to 125 grams daily. The daily per capita consumption?cf all kinds of meat for the year . of 1920 was 6.4 ounces, which furnished from 35 to 40 grams of protein per person per day. This shows the < fallacy of repeated dangers from too much protein" In the meat we are consuming. It also emphasizes the possl- | billty of increasing the per capita consumption of meat In order that we may more economically meetrhe daily protein requirements, of the human body. I The fact that meat is prescribed in quantities considerably larger than the , average daily per capita consumption [ in the dietetic treatment of many diseases is another indication of the pos| sibilities of Increasing very materially the average daily per capita consumption of meat without injury to our health. Dr. Mary S. Rose of Columbia uni- , versity recommends the us? of seven , and ope-half ounces of meat daily in a dietary for diabetics; four ounces of this allowance is beef. Dr. Max Eikhorn, professor of medicine, New York Post Graduate school for Medicine, includes four ounces of steak per day in the first week's diet In treating chronic gastritis and Includes seven ounces of meat daily in his dietetic treatment of gastric hyperacidity, a forerunner of gastris ulcer if neglected. The Massachusetts general hospital includes from seven to nine ounces of lean meat in the diet it uses In reducing obesity. If such quantities of meat can be utilized by a sick person it is evident that a normal person can utilize considerably more. ? Henry Ford, who about a year ago bought the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton railroad, 400 miles long, and who has made a success of it, has given out an interview on railroad management. According to Mr. Ford, the trouble , with the railroads is lack of management. He says that although the D., T. and I. wus bankrupt when he got hold of it, it is now paying a profit. He says he paid for the railroad mainly with the waste and discarded materlnln Hp rlm-s nut believe in eovern ment ownership, because what is everybody's business is nobody's business. He has increased the business of his railroad by reducing freight and 1 passenger rates and he declares that | the business of all the railroads in the country can be increased in the same manner. Wall street management of 1 railroads seeks only the largest profits in the shortest possible time and knows of no other way to attaih that object than by charging high rates and re- < ducing labor costs. He, however, has , eliminated unnecessary men and has raised the wages of all that are necessary to operate the property.

Hitting the old pill at will and playing almost airtight baseball, the Cloyfer "Town Rounders" walked away with the "Belmont Bullies" on Hawthorn Field, Saturday afternoon, 12-3. Approximately 600 fans saw the game and Ihov u'nro nnt all frnm within thn ? "V1 v * v'" " porate limits of Clover. While, the game was rather slow at times, it was \ pretty interesting: in spots. The outstanding feature was the hitting of Dody Phillips of Chester, who played short for Clover. Out of six trips to bat, Phillips got a home-run, two triples, a two-bagger, a single xnd a walk. The home-run came in the first with a man on base. The Chester lad tapped one over the left field fence and young Jim Page, who was on second, came home with Phillips close behind him.
