B. Gargis today to Aiken, where he will be arraigned tomorrow morning on a charge of murder in connection with the wrecking of train No. 54 of the Atlantic Coast Line May 20, in which Joseph Temple of Florence, engineer, was killed ??and..several trainmen and passengers were injure;' The wreck occurreo about four miles troiu Augusta on the Sniifh f^nrnlinn sirin nf thp Riverfe has been suspected of having been involved in the wreck-since his arrest and lias be?j.i held sine2 Lh.v, time for 'investigation. The case against the negro was worked up b> Detective A. A. Dorsey of the Coast Line railroad with offices in Florenccand today Magistrate Gargis came with a bench warrant from Judge S. W. G. Shipp. Much interest has centered around the case as several wrecks have oc curred in the same section of the country. It was thought at the time of the wreck that some disgrurttled for mer employee had endeavored to wreak vengeance upon the railroad because of Iris discharge from the company's service. Working on this theory three negroes, all former employees of the road, were arrested immediately after the wreck occurred. It now appears that Rivers also once worked for the railroad company in the capacity of a common laborer. The train was wrecked as the result of a rail being loosened and lifted from the crossties causing the engine, tender and two express cars to roll down a shallow embankment. The injured included: E. E. Jordan. express messenger, who was slightly bruised; Charlie Josie, negro fireman, painfully injured; W. E. Summers, mail clerk, slightly bruised, and Harriett Damson, negress, passenger, slightly bruised.

Mrs. J. O. Gault of Jonesville had several bales of cotton damaged by lightning which struck her barn where " she had her cotton, setting it on fire. I was at Mt. Lebanon church Sunday afternoon, meeting many good people .and heard a fine sermon by - Rev. Stevenson of West Springs, who is the preacher in charge. At New Hope church Sunday morning there was a large crowd at Sunday school. The Woman's Missionary Society also had a meeting and the members are increasing and they are doing good work. Sam Vaughn told me of a narrow escape he had while driving his auto one night last week, meeting a car on the bridge crossing a little branch near Rocky Creek. While he was looking how near he was to the auto and to keep from hitting the car he ran off the bridge and his auto turned over with him, but it didn't hurt him, only a scratch on his hand, but-did a great deal of damage to his car. Oscar Harris, with some of his people, went to North Carolina on a * pleasure trip. He reports a nice time, only it was rough on auto casings and wearing of the car. The quarterly meeting held at Jonesville Methodist church today was largely attended and a good ^ancial report was made. 9 ^ Ore -o* Cherokee's young men took * from Jonesville township another one of her fair ladies.

HOWAT DECLINES TO END STRIKE Indianapolis, Sept. 28.?Alexander Howat, president of the Kansas coal miners, was directed today by the vote of the convention of the United Mine Workers of America to order strikers at two Kansas mines hack to work, bur immediately after the convention's decision he declared he would not carry out the order. No announcement was made by the union officials what steps if any would be taken to enforce the decision. In voting, the convention had before it Howat's assertion that he would be expelled from the amior before he would obey such un orvler. By its vote, the convention sustained President John L. Lewis and other international officials in ordering the resumption of work which had not been obeyed by Howat. All of the anti-administration element was lined I by behind Howat. All of the anti-ad ministration element was lined up be hind Howat but the roll call showed an unofficial majority of 926 for the order, the vote being 2,701 to 1,775. Howat's opposition to the order was that it would support operators seeking to violate contracts with miners i by imposing new working conditions but President Lewis declared the issue was whether the union held its own men to the fulfillment of their contracts. Howat's fight with administration leaders ended for the convention with the disposition of the Kansas strike case. He expected to leave here early tomorrow to appear in court he would go to jail rather than give the bond required by the court not to call any more strikes. The disposition of the Kansas cases which had been before the convention since last Friday cleared the way for more rapid progress in convention work, but the end of the session was not yet in sight. G. A. R. Condemns Ku Klux Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 27.?Protection of Memorial Day from commercialism and consecration of the day to the memory of the soldiers of all the nation's wars should be an aim of the Grand Army of the Republic' and its allied organizations, Commander-in-chief William jfc. Ketcharh declared in his .address_ today at the 'first buSTness session of the fifty-fifth national encampment. Failure to pro^ tect the day from desecration will be a reproach to the Grand Army, its leader said. "The 30th of May is our Holy Day," said the commander-in-chief. "We instituted it and for 53 years we have, in rain or shine, stood at the shrines of men who died that the nation might live and paid tribute to their memories. No day in the year should be more absolutely free froip commercialism of any sentiment except that of reverence and devotion to memory of the dead. We still not^ with pain that in too many localities sports of one kind or another are talcing away the attention of the rising generation from the observance of this day. In many states by legislation it is protected from desecration, aiyi in all it should be. If, with the assistance of our able and devoted auxiliary and allies, we are not able to inculcate a deeper reverence for the memory of the dead, it will be a reproach to us." Revival of the Ku Klux Xlan was condemned by Commander Ketcham along with other organizations. While the Grand Army has scant influence i in the state in which the Klan was' incorporated the commander declared the G. A. R. "should see to it that any orcanization with sn nflFpnsiv#> nnH Hie. credited a name should not be permitted to invade state lines where wc still have influence, and strength." "We ought to set our faces like flint," said Commander Ketcham, "against all the evils of the modem day that are threatening?Bolshevism, I. W. W.ism. anarchy, Ku Klux Klaus ?whatever their name may be?that tend to throw a blight on the fair name of the land that we saved and still love." Death has taken a heavy toll of the Grand Army members during the last year the commander said, having taken two pasf commanders-in-chief, 45 past department commanders, the assistant adjutant general, three members of the council of administration and 9,281 of the members.

" . \ ** , ALABAMA DIVORCE VALID IN CAROLINA Spartanburg, Sept. 28.?The validity of a divorce was the issue in a report of a hearing before S. T. Lanham which was filed with the clerk of court yesterday afternoon in the case of W. J. Shirley vs. J. C. Harris, Shirley, who was known to be a widower, married a sister of Harris and sold to Harris a tract of land, for which part cash was paid and a mortgage taken for the remainder. Harris, subsequent to the deal, learned of a divorce secured by Shirley's first wife in Alabama and there being no renunciation of dower, Harris was unwilling to pay the mortgage without the dower being renounced. Til# nrinoinol ? _??v ioouc in tnc i:cise was the validity of a divorce which was granted to Shirley's first \yife by the court in the state of Alabama September 8, 1890. After the divorce, as it appears from the evidence, the first Mrs. Shirley married again on February 24, 1894, while Shirley came to Spartanburg and married Miss Emma J. Harris in February, 1907. The c( urt says in conclusion: "The constitution of the United States provides that full (not some) faith and credit shall be given to judicial proceedings of other states This divorce is therefore to be taken at its face value, and W. J. Shirley was freed by it from the bond of matrimony."

The revival meeting in the Buffalo Methodist church started off last Sunday night with much interest shown. The pastors and the Christian people of Buffalo are praying for, and expecting an old-time revival meeting? a "come to the altar and pray through to God" meeting, the kind that will bring people to God and into the churches. ^ Rev. W. Glenn Smith has been doing the preaching this week, but Dr. John A. May, of Montevallo, Ala., will arrive today to do the preuching. Dr. May is one of the general evangelists of the M. E. Church, South, working under the General Board of Evangelism?Bishop U. V. W. Darlington, Bishop A. N. Ainsworth, Bishop James Atkins, J. J. Stowe, W. B. Bauchamp, T. E. Sharpe, R. L. Russell, J. W. Perry, E. B. Chappell, H. K. Boyer, and Rev. O. E. Goddnrd, secretary. Dr. May is also a member of the Interdenominational Association Evangelists, Winona Lake, Ind., and author and publisher of "The Law of God on Tithes and Ufferings; or God s Plan to Finance His Church." It is believed that Dr. John A. May is the greatest preacher that has visited Buffalo since Bishop Duncan dedicated the church. Prof. A. R. Walton, evangelistic singer, chorus director and soloist, of Atlanta, Ga., is already in Buffalo, and is attracting people to the services with the gospel in song. Prof. Walton has the gift of getting folks to sing "in the spirit, and with the understanding." His sweet gospel solos are soul-stirring. All the ministers and the good people of Union would not spend their time badly if they were to come out to Buffalo to hear these men of God. You are invited to come. , .

At J 'V. MAKES WORLD'S ALTITUDE RECORD Dayton, Ohio, Sept. 28.?Lieut. John A. Macready, test pilot at McCook field, today shattered the world's altitude record, attaining a height of 40,800 feet in the same La Pere biplane used by Rudolph C. Shroeder, who set a record of 38,619 on February 28, 1920. Lieutenant Jilacready was in the air one hour and 47 minutes, requiring all but a few minutes of the total flying time to reach his mark. At 39,000 feet ice formed on his oxygen tank, but he pressed on until the autimeter registered 41,000 feet. At this height his engine coughed and died. He then glided safely to the ground. Macready's new record is 2,620 feet higher than that of Schroeder and ir this flight the pilot suffered none of the hardships met by the former chief test pilot. Schroeder's eye balls froze and excessive dilation of the heart kept him in a hospital nearly two weeks after the flight. The flight made today primarily was for the purpose of#testing improvements made on the super-charg er invented by S. A.

' , P' ' 1 I* lil - ARBUCKLF. GETS j RELEASE ON BAIL San Francisco, Sept. 28.? The murder complaint against Roscoe C. ("Fatty") Arbuckle was reduced to manslaughter today by Police Judge Sylvan J. Lazarus, who held him to answer to the superior court for trial on the lesser charge growing out of th^ death of Miss Virginia Rappe following a drinking party in Arbucklc's suite here. Judge Lazarus added that the evidence introduced by the district attor ney during the six day hearing did not warrant the comedian's being held foi murder. Miss Rappe, a Ix>s Angelesmotion picture actress, died September 9, four days after the affair in Arbuckle's roo.ns. "I have decided to make a holdin;. for manslaughter, finding there is enough in the defendant's conduct tc warrant his trial on that charge, sai< Judge Lazarus. "I feel also bound by the grand jur> whose indictment for manslaughter was voted after having heard mor* evidence than I was permitted tt hear." Arbuckle heard the decision with out movement or comment. The district attorney moved that Arbuckle be released on his owi recognizance in view of the bail of $5,000 caph or $10,000 bonds fixed or the superior court charge of manslaughter growing out of a grand jury indictment. As court adjourned a dozen wonior rushed forward to shake Arbuckle'* hand. As he went into the judge's chambers his wife, Mrs. Minta Durfec. A buckle, collapsed and he held hei up and quieted her in an affectionate manner. Her mother, Mrs. Flora Durfc", meanwhile smoothed the hair back fi om the comedian's forehead.. The well known Arbuckle smile did not appear, however, and he merely said: "Thank you," in response' tc the handshakes and greeting of "con gi atulations, Roscoe," from various people. Assistant District Attorneys Miltoi T. U'ren and Isadore Golden asked Judge Lazarus if he placed no ere dcnce in Miss Rappe's cries, "He hurt mj," or the screams heard by the hotel maid, but the court said they "were not sufficient to implicate Arbuckle in the commission of a crime." Thi district attorney's aides also contend ed that the court could only eithei hold the defendant to answer for mur der or dismiss the case altogether, bu Judge Lazarus said that was not hit understanding of the taw."
