Vol. S NO. 40 fACE LA N I\"s. C., W EDNESDA^ORNING, JUNE 23, J 915 _ ~ ^0*0 per year Bryan Attacks Taft and Teddy. New York, June IV.?William Jennings Bryan, addressing a labor peace meeting at Carnegie Hall here tonight, attacked 1 Former Presidents Roosevelt * and Taft as leading sponsors of 1 organizations which stood for t the use of force in international r affairs and which the former t secretary of state declared were j inimical to the true interests of this country and to the cause of 1 international peace. Mr. Bryan began his address c by declaring.that he could find ^ no more favorable auspices than J those of tonight for heginni ig ] the work which he felt it his [ duty to perform?aiding "in the crystalizmg of the sentiment for % peace in support of the president * in his efforts to reach an . amicable settlement of all differ- jj ences tnat may during the war arise between this country and c beligerent powers." ^ Mr. Bryan continued: ^ "Those who work in the 1 cause of peace will find it c necessary to combat the forces \ of militarism as well as to do \ educational work in behalf of 1 the principles upon which the 5 hope of permanent peace rests, ( and I deem this an oppertune time and place to invite vou to > enter a protest against two or- J kuu1/.uuu11s which are- aireaay asking the support of the public. 1 Both of these orgaizations are officered and manned by men ( of great responsibility. "One of these organizations s has for its object a large increase in the army and navy. It has * set for itself the task of pro- ( viding for national security and ( it is busily engaged in minimiz j to furnish argumentsin favor of ] the enlargement of both. ExPresident Roosevelt is the most 1 potential factor in this group* j and it is quite natural that* on ' account of his prominence, his | great ability and his extreme 1 views, he should direct the \ general policy, of the organiza- 1 tion." Mr. Bryan declared that Mr. 1 Roosevelt's plan of making this 1 nation a rival of the powers of v the old world in military and ( naval preparation, would in- * volve indefinite increase in expenditures for ships and men, * "to be continued so long as * other nations continue to in- ( crease," He asked if it could ' be r/ossible that Col. Roosevelt r was ambitious to be known to 1 history as having "launche a * thousand ships" as Helen of ( Trov, citing the poet's query * inspired by the farfamed beauty: 1 "Is this the fact that launched a , mousand ships?" 1 Mr. Roosevelt's plan, Mr. * Bryan said, would make the 1 United States a "vast armory, with skull and cross bones above J the door and the designing architect of the system will go * in and out in uniform with the proud consciousness that our 1 nation no longer contains mollv- ! coddles or weaklings." Mr. Bryan declared, however s that there was no danger of Mr. 1 Roosevelt's organization se- 1 curing a numerous following 1 "when its real purpose bocome 1 known," and he urged the * laboring men of the country to see that its purpose was clearly understood and to give to the president assurance of support, 5 to "counteract any influence 1 that the jingoes may seek to exert." s "Oh!" Exclaimed the suffrag- t ette fervpntlv "!f i T f I it iiiv IA/1U IlilLl ^ only made me a man!" t "Perhaps he did, dear," said the widow soothingly, "but you r just haven't found him yet." s -1 ? * 4 ? 1 * Climber Fell and Broke Four 1 Ribs Harry Gardner, a man who practices the dangerous art of rlitnbing tall buildings, has been ^ n a Columbia hospital with four ' >roken ribs for a few days as. a c esult of an attempt to climb lo J he flagstaff of the State capital x ust Wednesday afternoon while | * he building was wet from rain, le is a steeplejack who has been limbing tali buildings for about ^ 8 years. This was his first fall, j T !_ 1 - it; is Known as ."^aianet." j rhursday he climbed blithely j he Palmetto National bank ^ luilding. The Columbia State < :ives the following account of < he accident; Harry Gardner, daring steeple- f ack known by the sobriquet of Satanet," fell from the coping c >f the dome of the capitol yester- lay afternoon to the slate roof, ?0 to 40 feet below, when he was t rying to ascend to the flag staff | ( >f the building. Four ribs on the j j nanvs right side are broken and . t is possible that he is seriously v njured internally. The accident j vas witnessed by several hunired persons. i "I will be climbing again in a ] veek," he told his physician at , he hospital last night, but added, ? Til never climb, though, when .he building is wet." Gardner had crawled up one of the large front columns, wnglling along with the ease of a squirrel, bracing his hands and . tnees in the fluting. After drag- ?ing himself over the broad ' overhanging ledge of the portico javes, he raced briskly along the < idge pole to the dome base. Haying,mounted this to the^cor^ < nit, he writhed and twisted his j ithc body there possibly 15 . ninutes.

To Open StorQ in Raleigh. CharloMe Observer That the Belk chain of stores, with headquarters in this city, is , ; to open a branch in Raleigh, the i State Capital, is interesting announcement that has just been received from Mr. John G. ! , Parks of Concord, manager, > of the Parks-Belk Company, who has just returned from j | Raleigh where he closed the ? lease for a storeroom there. The Raleigh store will open for business September 1 and will be in charge of Mr. Carl Hudson, now of Gastonia*. This will be the eleventh store of the Belk , chain, the others being located at Charlotte, headquarters, ' Monroe, Concord, Gastonia, Yorkville, Salisbury, Waxhaw, Greensboro, Sanford and States ville. There are two big chains of 1 stores in this section and both have their lieadquartes in i Charlotte. These are the Belk stores and the Efird stores. Both : are directed by alert and shrewd business men, whose guiding star is that of service and value to customers and whose business has been steadliyincreasing. Only recently, the Efird chain was increased by the addition of another link at Durham and now the Belk stores are to be augmented by the Raleigh establishment. This means that Raleigh is to have a modern and (up-to-date establishment which will be a distinct credit to that city. Mr. W. H. Belk of this citv and Dr. J. M. Belk of Monroe constitute the Belk Bros. firm. Latest "on the Ford."

The driver did not appear able to locate the trouble, so Ford got out from his car and tendered his service. In a few minutes the stalled car was ready to run again and the owner, after thanking his unknown benefactor, pulled a half dollar from his pocket and tendered it saying, "Stop at the first place and get yourself some cigars." The money was declined with the statement "I have more money now than I can find any use for, and I *vas only too glad to help you get your car started again." The owner of the rejuvenated car looked at the Good Samaritan and then at Ford's car and said with emphasis. "You're a liar.

Never perhaps since before the battle of the Marne, have the Teutonic Allies appeared so confident of success.

Young Stricklin fast on Linotype The Dillon Herald has the following to say of Master Joseph Stricklin, son of Editor J. N. Stricklin, of Cheraw: "Master Joseph Stricklin, of Cheraw, a brother of Mr. W. J. Stricklin, foreman of The Herald office, is spending a few days in the city. Joseph enjoys the distinction of being the youngest linotype operator in the world. He is only 11 yeura _ * ? ? ? oi age Dui ne nanaies ine big machine in The Herald office like a veteran. He can setja column of type every hour and so far as errors are concerned his proof are far above the average. A column an hour is about the average for veteran operetors on the large daily newspapers. Joseph is not much larger than the keyboard on the machine but he has mastered it so completely that it responds very readily to his touch. Joseph's photograph has appeared in many of the leading trade journals and his marvelous control over the linotype is quit well known in every country where the machines are." A-fVIIV\/IlU<UV>4 It is a helpful, soothing drink, when flies are bad and days are hot; and whether it is white or pink it always seems to hit the spot. I drink it with the lovely dames where drug store clerks take in the kale; I drink it at the baseball games, at home I sip it by the pail. Of all soft drinks it is the best, as every learned physician knows; it always soothes my savage breast, and gives my warlike soul repose. It take9 the fungus from my tongue, and kills the toadstools in my throat; and I feel brave and gay and young, when all my innards are afloat: when they're afloat in lemonade, my head is clear, my nerve is strong; I face my duties unafraid, and put up hay the whole day long. And when the cool, gray morning i breaks. I do not see, beside my bed, a bunch of hydrahended snakes with pea-green antlers on each head. I rise refreshed, so lull of vim, and of aggressive strength so full, that when I've sung my morning hymn, I go out doors and whip a bull.? Walt Mason. . ^
