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

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. Then he lost his grip
ind dropped to the slate roof

irms outstretched, blood flow- j
ng from his nostrils. I
A. F. Stainbacll, who travels (
vi.th him, was one of the first to
each his side. Gardner fell at \'
>: 15 o'clock, but it was 5:45
)'clock before he was rushed in
in ambulance to the hospital.
The home of the injured man 1
s at Newport News, Va., where
le has a wife and three small |1
:hildren. He is said to have :
>een practicing ihe dangerous (
trt of scaling tall buildings for '
18 years. Yesterday's was his
irst fall. The only scar be '
iver got from climbing was
rom staggering into a man hole \
icar the base of a building he '
-vas leaving after having |
nounted its walls. Just now '
Gardner climbs to advertise a 5
lew soft drink.
As unique as the drop was '
(tartling is the picture which W.
L. Blanchard caught of the man 1
is he fell. The photographer 1
ocused his lens when he saw .
he climber approaching the
reacherous ledge and kept his
nstrument trained. lie was sop
shocked when the man dropped 1
hat he didn't realize he had 1
iressed the bulb. Mr. Blanchard .
egards this as the most re- 1
narkable piece of work he has 1
iver done, and doesn't believe
tie will ever duplicate it.
"I'm in trouble with my girl,"
aid the first youth disconsolateV

"Why, what's the trouble?"

"I've been saying such nice t
hings to her that she's getting i
ronceited. Now, if I stop she'll t
hink I don't care for her any I
nore, and if I goon she'll think t
h's too good for me."

r k ackberiy pie time! I Messing
*>n the good woman who
t stai led. the custom of cutting
* blackberry pie into wedge

5 started the way of cutting a

, IMting blackberry pie with a

Blackberry pie time is here.
What a pity it is that blackt

Belk Bros. 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."
There ~are"& number of storier
told concerning Henry Ford of
Detroit and the well known
product turned out In his shops,
but the Wall Street man who
?a 1 / rv_i
ic-t-eiiuy i*'iumeu 110111 i^eirou
vouches for the truth of this
one, which he says Ford tells
on himself:
It seems that Ford, who
believed in using his own cars,
was out in the suburbs of Detroit
one day and stopped when he
saw a driver of a Ford car trying
to start his machine which had
failed from some cause. 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. If you had more money
than you knew what to do with
you wouldn't be running a
Ford."?Wall Street Journal.
"So," said the neighbor sympathetically,
"your baby suffers
from sleeplessness, does he?"

Kaiser Takes Command of
Galacian Campaign
London, June 20.?After seven
weeks' battering across Galicia
during which the Russians have
been thrown hack more than 150
miles the Austro Germans today
are as close to Lemberg as were
the Germans to Paris last Fall.
Never perhaps since before the
battle of the Marne, have the
Teutonic Allies appeared so confident
of success. Having failed
in their original plan of crushing
France and then returning to
Russia, they have reversed the
order of their strategy and now

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."

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.?
