y ESTABLISHED ISM
, ENGINEER PICKS BABY
FROM BEFORE ENGINE.
]
Climbs Down on Pilot and Snatches
Child With Train Moving.
Engineer John Furman, says a Lil- I
llngton, N. C., dispatch was rounding <
the down grade curve late yesterday ]
afternoon after pulling his mixed i
train of 30 'heavy freighters and a pas- ?
senger out of Kipling and was making
good speed toward Lillington. I
Suddenly he heard hfo fireman ex- ]
clam: 1
"My God, look at that baby!" t
Quick as a flash the engineer's eyes <
were peering down the track his train <
was covering so rapidly. Something t
over 100 yards ahead of the locomo- t
tive sat a tiny child contentedly playing
in the sand midway between then
rails. The shrill whistle from the ]
engine only aggravated the danger, i
The tot stood up threw its hands into J
the air, too frightened to move. <
The engineer, throwing on his (1
brakes, reversing'the engine, told his ]
fireman to "hold her down," and step-'i
ped out on the running boards of the t
locomotive, down on the pilot, "cowcatcher,"
end placing himself in position
to reach the track, be waited!
* the fraction of a' second he had to
' T\spare until his strong arm came,
'^within reach of tne iife he was deter-1
mined to save. It was all so quickly!
done thet Engineer Furman was back I
in his cab with the baby before'
either he or his fireman realized that'
the train'had not yet come to a stop.'
After rolling something like 100
feet, the'brakes and the reverse gear'
of the engine brought the heavy train1
>to a standstill. Looking about for
the nearest habitation, the crew soon
found that the baby was the threeyear
old child of Mr. and^Mrs. Will
Collins, living a few hundred yards
from the\ right-of-way. The engineer
laid the little one safely in the arms
of its mother, who said that she had
Inst missed the child and was beginning
to look around for it.
o
MANY WOMEN IN STATE PRISON.
There are more women in the state
penitentiary than ever before in the
history of the penal institution, according
to a statement made at the
prison offiee. There are sixty-five remale
inmates of the bastile.
Agitation has started throughout (
the state for the erection of a women's
prison, to be located probably on
a farm. The women of the State are
especially interested in this, and it is
likely that a bill embodying this idea
will be presented to the 1922 Legislature,
which convenes in January.
The latest additions to the female
colony in the State penitentiary are'
the two members of the Cook family\
from Lexington county, sent up for!
life for the murder of Marceilus Cook,|
head of the family. Mrs. Marceilus
Cook and her daughter, Mimie, are|
-* ^serving the longest possible sentence!
''for this crime. These two women'
have been given work in the woman's
quarters. j
AlonK with the Cook woman three;
men were sent up for the same crime,'
Ira Cook, son of the man whom the
quintet killed, and Henry Wheeler!
and James Barfield, Sr. Wheeler was
said to have been engaged to Mimie
Cook, but if he had such aspirations,
his hopes have been forever blighted.!
He is to spend the rest of his days in
the men's quarters and Mimie is to
spend her life in the women's quarters
of the prison.
The women of the penitentiary are
rcgumriy empiw^ru no uic mc men, I..
the chair factory ' and also in the
lr.undry and other parts of the prison,'
where there is work they can do. They
are also paid for their work, as arei'
the men. The women's quarters are (
not so large as those for the men, but '
this is because they are few in comparison.
o
Negotiating for Light Plant. t
]
City Council and the Public Works i
Commission spent most of Tuesday i
in joint session considering bids on \
the new light plant which it is pro- <
posed to install. A number of sales- <
men were in town during the day <
and several bids were submitted, the,!
bids ranging from $30,000 to $60.-1
000. Council and the Commissioners,<
held another joint meeting yesterday (i
Afternoon, but they had not up to tne(i
hour of going to press reached a de-(i
cision as to the type of plant they,]
will install. They hare decided def- 1
initely, however, to install a new i
plant and the Joint meetings are be- 1
ing held for the purpose of considering
the bids and making the best
trade possible for the town.

A Surprise Marriage. ]
Mullins Enterprise. 7
There was a surprise marriage last i
week in which Mullins parties fig- 1
J ured. The contracting parties were i
Miss Kitty Gaddy, who held a post- 1
tion with L. J. Brown Co.. and M?\ 1
Marlon Norton of near Nichols. So i
quiet was the affair kept that no t
one seems to hare known anything 1
about it until the marriage was over, j
The young couple drove over to i

PREPARLNG FOR BIG FAIR. ^
Dillon County's Second Fair Promises
Many Fine Attractions. |
Preparations are well under way
!or the big County Fair which begins |
October 18th and runs until October!
L4th. The catalogs are out and many ]
nquiries are coming in concerning
sxhlbits, space, etc
A feature of the Fair this year will
xj the Midway. The officers of the
Pair have closed a contract with a
arge carnival company and the atractions
are said to be of a very hi
>rder. The carnival company will be
>n the grounds by Monday, the day
>efore the opening, and will remain
hrough Saturday.
The live stock exhibit this year
promises to be a great feature. There
ias been some rivalry among local
ive stock raisers and1 this spirit promses
to show itself at the Fair in one
)f the largest and best collections of
lve stock ever seen at a South Caroina
county fair. There are scores of
'ine hogs anq cows In the county and
.hey will be on exhibit* at the Fair.
In addition to the exhibits and carnival
another feature of entertain
ucui wuicu is aiways popular in Dilon
is horse racing. Some of the best
lorses in the south are owned in
Dillon and'over twenty head of hors>8
owned in Dillon have been racing
n the North and West since early
rune and have held their own with
he best horses in their classes. All
>f these horses will return to Dillon
!or the fair, among them being the
celebrated trotter. Silky Nan, 2.14%,
who has been racing in Ohio all of
he summer; Northeast, 2.14%, who
ias been racing in New England
States, Deleware, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey; Bonlta Guy, 2.17% ; Petir
Silver. 2.20%; Tip Top, 2.09%;
Nella Brooks, 2.13 % ; Little Lady,
1.14%; Cochato Watts, 2.14%; Miss
Liberty, 2.18 % ; Idol Bergen, 2.13 % ;
Charley Hassard, 2.16%; Ruth Cumnings,
2.13%; Peachorlna, all of
which horses have been racing in the
North and West. These horses are
aow on the North Carolina circuit and
will start at Dillon at the fair. One
if the features of the races will be
i sweepstake for a purse of $500 between
the following horses: Silky
Nan, Northeast, Cochato Watts, Idol
Bergen and Bonita Guy. The entrance
ree to this race will be $50 each and
the association will give $250 making
i purse of $500, the winner to take
ill. A great deal of friendly rivalry exists
among the local owners of these
horses, and as the horses are evenly
matched it promises to be one of the
greatest races ever held in the State,
rhe association has not announced as
yet what day this race will be run. In
addition to the horses named that
have been away to the races several
pther horses that have been racing
near home and in the South Carolina
circuit during the summer will
be here in addition to several campaigners
that are racing in the North
Carolina circuit. At last year's fair
we had over ninety race horses on the
ground at Dillon and this year we expect
to have fully as many. There
will be three races each day, starting
promptly at 1 o'clock, in order that
(hey may be finished in .time for people
to get home early.
Dillon extends an invitation to all
the people to visit this fair for the
association is leaving no stone unturned
to give everybody a good time
and make the fair a great success.

DILLON OFFICERS HONORED.
At the meeting of the auditors and
treasurers of the state held at Columbia
last week County Treasurer
Ino. R. Watson was elected president
pf the association and Auditor D. S.
Allen was elected secretary and
treasurer. This was the first meeting
t>f the auditors and treasurers of
the state and the election of Messrs.
Watson and Allen is a distinct credit
to these two very efficient officers.
Hereafter the association will hold annual
meetings at some point in the
state at which the tax problems of
the state will be discussed. Another
>bject of the association is to bring
the offices up to a higher standard
>f efficiency, putting the office systems
throughout the state on a uniform
basis. Since they have been in
>fflce Messrs. Watson and Allen have
so systematised their offices that
their work has received special praise
from the state officials who have
ecommended to other auditors and
treasurers the improvements they
idopted in their book-keeping cysteine.

| MUSICAL TREAT.'
I
Dillon music lovers enjoyed a rare,
treat at the school auditorium Mon- fj
day evening when they heard Miss'r<
Leola Lucey and* Messrs. Adrien'o
Freiche and Raymond Barry who n
were representing the Edison Com- t<
pany. ei
The musical was given by the Wil- f<
liams Furniture Co., local dealers for tl
the Edison Company, and those who ^
attended were charmed and delighted
for nearly "two hours by these well- o
known artists in the musical world. a:
On the stage were two Edison phon- o
ographs and each artist gave an exhi- d
bition of the ability of the Edison to ti
re-create the human voice or the e
tones of a musical instrument so per- lj
fectly that the audience was not able \]
to distinguish one from the other.
The exhibitions were not only entertaining
but little short of marvelous.
Miss Lucey sang along with the machine
and during one number, when h
tk. ii?ki ? " - -
iuc ugius were cut Oil wnue she ^
was singing. Miss Lucey slipped off
the stage and no one in the audienc* el
was aware that she had gone. Miss
Lucey also sang a vocal solo which 3
charmed and delighted the audience.
Mr. Freiche gave a violin solo which p
was a masterpiece and Mr. Barry ren- ^
dered a piano solo which was captivating.
All three are great artists and c;
the evening was greatly enjoyed. s

Dear Mr. Freeman: I wish to a

jthat the authorities were aware of
the complaints, for Mr. Charlie BouljWare
has made remarks to the effect
(that the said Parish would kill some|body
before his time was out: and
,it seems to me that the only relief
.would be for me to take the matter
up with the Governor. So, on July
20th, I wrote the Governor and I am
sending you copy of my letter and
the reply by the attorney general,'
which will show where cur relief
must come from.
, Now, to reach the climax, on Fri-'
day, the day that the camp was
moved from our midst. Mr. Parish!

they were going to leave from the

' Mr. Parish pleaded guilty of man'
slaughter in Dillon county, the case
transferred to Darlington for trial.
[He was charged with the killing of C

I way through reckless driving of an
automobile. The county highway F
commissioners 'of Marlboro county
employed this Mr. Parish from fhe ii
Dillon county authorities. He Is H
supposed to be serving a sentence for tl
manslaughter. |
\ It seems that his duty is to repair a
the trucks and automobiles. Appar- tl
ently he rides the public roads with r<
absolute freedom and will. He a
drives a high powered touring car A
and operates it on the highway to c<
(the danger, dread, fear and even ter- J
ror of the citizens. He operates this li
car in the most reckless manner and it
without regard to speed. He, we are
informed leaves the camp about noon
Saturday, spends Saturday night, Sunday
and Sunday night at his home,
or elsewhere, at his pleasure. Unless
something is done I fear that some o
good citizen, possibly women and chil- si
dren, will be killed through his reck- ti

lcLENDON RECEIVES BIG SUM.
i
.eaves Spencer, X. C., Poorer Financially
but Richer Spiritually.
I
A dispatch from Spencer, N. C., to
tie Greensboro Daily News says: I
Rev. Baxter McLeudon, populurly
nown as 'Cyclone Mack", who be-,
an a series of revival services in'
pencer four weeks ago, concluded (
it cauipaign here today and will go
i Atlanta, Ga., to begin next week j
similar campaign in the Georgia ine-i
-opolis.
"Cyclone Mack", and his party leave
lis community financially about
10,000 poorer and morally and spirually
incalculably richer than it was
rhen they came.
Approximately $3,500 was raised,
arly in the series to defray the ex-|
enses incidental to bringing,raising'
nd equipping the giant tent wh'ch
lieltered thousands of eager hearers,
nd a voluntary offering of in the
eighborhood of $6,500 and $7,500
'as made the evangelist and his asistanta.
The financial side of the campaign j
? mentioned to show the magnitude,
f the meeting and the intereBt taken
a it. Although the railroad men of I
pencer and~ihe citizenship of this
ection are a liberal people, they do
ot give their money unless they
now they are giving to a worthy
ause or are getting value received
specially in the strenuous times.
Cyclone Mack" struck Spencer at a'
ime when the majority of the shop
orce were out of employment but so
reat was the service rendered that,
ncouraged by improvement in em loyment,
the people paid the evan;elist
the largest sum ever paid an
vangelist in this section.
"Cyclone Mack" came with a mesage,
and the people heard him glady.
In his own way he told the won
lertul story of his own conversion,
(reached sinful sin, hot hell, short
ife, and sure death, bragged on Jesus
md won thousands of sturdy railoaders
from the error of their way.
His message reached the men?old
nen and young men?as well as wom n
and children. Followers of Lee
ind Jackson, since the passing of
heir commanders have been follownE
the devil deserted his satanic maesty
to follow the Man of Galilee.
Measured from almost every standmint,
the religious campaign just
losed has been the most marvelous
nterprise that ever came Spencerway.
Nothing that has ever happened in
his community has so completely
aken hold of the people as has this
neeting. Truly may it be said 'hat
'Cyclone Mack" came, he saw, he
onquered; and, most important of
11, he converted.
Spencer and this community have
teen stirred before but never so comdetely
nor so genuinely as by "Cylone
Mack" and his party, and the
pinion is well nif?h unanimous that
hf stir has been wholesome. The
hurches have worked together
unnonioiisiy, trie brotherhoods and
uxiliaries have co-operated, an,j the
aces have not been estranged.
Spencer has had big days before,
ut the revival furnished the biggest,
11 her history. Circusses and carnials.
fairs and fourth of July cele-j
rations, have come this way atid:
rotight great crowds with them, but
hese crowds were small in eompari-!
on with the masses who have throngdinto
aii(i around the great tent
itched in the park here four weeks
go. J
Thousands of people heard "Cylone
Mack" at every service, and
undreds who never before professed
aith in Jesus Christ or who had back
lidden, were won by the power of
is preaching. They have been here
rom every corner of Rowan, from
lavidson, Davie, Guilford. Randolph,t
Vilkes, Carbarrus, Iredell. Stanley,'
'orsyth. Burke and other places, and i
here have been marvelous demon-!
trations of the old time religion.
Wherever one goes about here one:
ears the meetings discussed. The la-1
orerer or mechanic in the shops, the I
ngineer on his engine, the street |
m vviiiuunui un iiis car, nit* merhant
in his store, and women and
hildren in their homes are bubbling,
ver with "Cyclone Mack" anj his
leetlng.
The singing, like the preaching and
le shouting, bas been a remarkable
mature of the services. From 300 to
00 voices have been'in the choir, dlected
by Prof. J. H. Jones, and they
ave given a good account of them?lves.
In his farewell message "Cyclone
iack" paid the people of Spencer
igh compliments for their hospitallr.
He also praised them for their
iterest and activity in the campaign.
It is yet too early to arrive at an
ccurate estimate of the true signicance
of "Cyclone Mack's" visit,
here is a tendency sometimes to
Iscount what is sbbn at an intense
tmpaign of this kind; there is a feel- (
ig that there will be backsliding, 1
nd there doubtless will, but there is
o getting around the fact that Spcn- ,
*r has witnessed her greatest Penta- 1

CHICAGO l.Kjl'Olt
I K.H I' ItHOADKNH.
Half of Police Force Held to be Bootleggers.
Chicago, Sept. 25?Federal officials
today had started an exhaustive innestimation
of the Chicago police depurtment
as a result of an appeal last
night by Charles Fitzmorris, chief of
police, who declared that in his belief
"half of the city's" 5,000 policemen
were bootleggers, plying their Illicit
liquor operations much more industriously
than they watched over the
city."
Federal indictment of at least seven
members of the force, four of them
commanders, may be expected within
a day or two. Charles Clyne. United
States district attorney, said tonight
in a letter to Chief Fitzmorris promising
that every effort would be made
to break up the alleged relationship
between liquor rings and the police
force.
In a statement tonight Chief Fitamorris
declared that prohibition was
a failure, not only in Chicago, but in
every city of which he had knowledge.
"In Chicago there is more drunkenness
than there ever was ? more
deaths from liquor than before prohibition?more
of every evil attributed
to the use of liquor than in the
days before the socalled prohibition
laws became 'effective,,'"he declared.
"Prohibition enforcement in
is a joke.
The chief's statement tonight also
water and the prohibition enforcement
officers is as futile as any group
of men would be who tried to stop
the liquor at its source."
The chief's statement tonight -also
charged that several city officials outside
the police department' were
I implicated in the police beose ring

War Department Sends Ixxal Board
Names of Dillon Registrants
Classed as Deserters.
The War Department is cleaning up
the records at Washington and each
Local Board throughout the natuon is
oeing furnished with a list containing
the names of alleged desertera as
shown by the war records. The only
way in which the department can
complete the work is hy publishing
I the names as they appear on the records.
Sometimes the name of an innocent
person is published, but this is
the only way the government has of
.reaching the public and getting information
concerning a registrant,
^he Heralj is publishing the list sent
to the Local Board for Dillon county.
There may be names on this list
which do not belong there. In that
|event the registratants can tak?? the
matter up with the War Department
direct and have their name* stricken
from the list of alleged deserters, provided
they furnish satisfactory evid?nce
that they are not deserters.
