WALKOUT OF RAILW/
AVERTED
Chicago, July 4 (By the Associated
Press).?The threatened extension of
the strike of railway employees to
400,000 trackmen wns averted today
through the efforts of members of the
United States railroad labor board
and officials of the United Mainte/
ranee of Way employees and railroad
shop laborers.
Postponement of the strike was announced
tonight by E. F. Grable,
president of the maintenance organization,
after he and his executive
council had conferred throughout the
day with Chairman Ben W. Hooper of
the labor board and W. L. McMenimen,
labor member of the board.
Maintenance of Way chairmen were
instructed to proceed to take up Maintenance
of Way disputes with the in?
J- 1
uifiuuiti ivauo, auu in case an
ment is not reached to refer the matter
to the labor board. These disputes
include the wage cut recently authorized
by the board for Maintenance of
Way employees, changes in maintenance
of way rules and the contracting
out of track work.
Members were directed to continue
work under the cut wages ordered by
the labor board, effective July 1, but
to make any revision of rates retroactive
to July 1, and to withhold strike
^ orders,. pending the carrying out of
these matters.
It was also announced that an immediate
ruling from the labor board
would be sought absolving members
from doing any work formerly done
by members of other organizations on
strike.
One of the conditions to postponement
of the strike was that the Indiana
Harbor Belt railroad cancel its
contracts with an outside agency to do
track work and officials of the road
were summoned before the meeting,
and agreed to do this, maintaining,
however, that such contracting
was lawful.
With this crisis safely past both
railroad executives and officers of the
Bhop crafts now on strike admitted
tonight that the .first real tegt of
U the Striking shopmen Will
' employees department of the American
Federation of Labor, has contended-that
practically 100 per cent of his
400,000 members had obeyed the
strike call. *
The carriers have asserted that
many men who walked out Inst Saturday
were merely going for a holiday
over the Fourth of July and will be
back on the job tomorrow.
Mr. Jewell today replied to the pronouncement
of the labor board of yesterday
. "outlawing" his organization
by asserting that it was not the shopmen
but the board itself that had been
"outlawed.'' Mr. Jewell, in his letter
to the board, asserted that the body
had failed to negotiate a settlement
between the shopmen and the carriers
and reiterated his intention of dealing
only with the roads in making a settlement.
President Harding, in an address at
Marion, Ohio, today took cognizance
of the labor situation when he declared
that a man has a right to labor
0 without any other's permission and
that men also have the right to bargain
collectively. "Governments," he
added, "can not tolerate any class or
group domination through force."
The fourth day of the shopmen's
strike passed quietly. The headquarters
of the organization here was
practically deserted and the holiday's
effect was felt on the strike situation
everywhere.
Several of the railroads maintained
that their shop forces were being aug.
merited by the strikers themselves
who were returning to work. These
statements were denied by the uniou
men.
Violence in connection with the
strike was confined today to a few
scattered clashes between strike sympathizers
and workers, although a
number of railroads established extra
guards about their shops in a number
of instances and took other added
precautions.
Representatives of
Dail Eireann Arrested
Dublin, July 5 (By the Associated
Press).?Art O'Brien, former repiesentative
of the Dail Eireann in London,
and Sean O'Kelly, former representative
in Paris, were both arrested
last even, it was announced today.
Sham Battle Bullet Kills One
Pittsburgh, Kansas, July 5.?One
spectator was killed and two wounded
by steel jacketed bullets which were
mysteriously fired during the sham
battle here by members of the American
Legion at the July 4th celebration.
All were standing close together
in the crowd.

IY EMPLOYEES
FOR TIME AT LEAST
MUST ENROLL
NOW TO VOTE
All Democrats, men and women
alike, must enroll now for the Democratic
primary this summer or they
will not be alowed to vote. I find
that you are not enrolling to any extent.
It does not make any difference how
many times a man or woman may
have enrolled in the past, they must
enroll for this election. Clubs are
reorganized every two years. City
enrollment does not count for the apDroachiner
election.
The club books will positively close
at noon on Tuesday, July 25, and all
who fail to enroll by that day will be
disbarred from voting.
County registration certificates
have nothing whatever to do with the
primary election. Neither has the enrolling
for the city election. The only
way to qualify for voting in the Democratic
primary is by entering one's
name properly on the club books. The
rules prescribe that the qualifications
for membership in any club and for
voting at a primary shall be as follows:
"The applicant for membership,
or voter, shall be 21 years of age or
become so before the succeeding genera!
election and be a white Democrat.
Shall be a citizen of the United
States and of this State. No person
shall belong to any club or vote in
any primary unless he or she has resided
in the State two years, in the
county six months prior to the succeeding
general election, and in the
club district 60 days prior to the first j
primary following his or her offer to
enroll: Provided, that public school
teachers and ministers of the gospel
in charge of a regular organized
church shall be exempt from the provisions
of this section as to residence,
if otherwise qualified."
Applicants for club membership
must enroll in the club district in
which he or she resides. Anyone who
jpan meet the above qualifications and
shall join a Democratic club, thus bethe
proper club book before noon of
July 25. The time now is short?less
than three weeks. Attend to it now.
The club books are open at the following
places:
Ward 1?J. Mobley Jeter's Store.
Ward 2?Storm's Drug Store.
Ward 3?Miss M. E. Tinsley's Jewelry
Store.
Ward 4?On Mondays, Tuesdays
and Wednesdays at Cheek & Lawson's
Store; on Thursdays, Friday and Saturdays
at the Fire House In charge of
Milan Petty.
Excelsior Knitting Mills?B. L.
Fowler's Store.
Monarch Mills?R. J. Fowler's
Store.
Jonesville?Everybody's Bank.

West Springs?West Springs Hotel.
Coleraine?At Ponder's Store.
Buffalo?At Quinn's Shoe Shop.
Allow me to suggest Tuesday, the
11th, as "Indies' Enrolling Day," and
that on that day every woman entitled
to enroll act as a committee of one
to see to it that every other woman
enroll. This will not subject you to
jury duty, or in any way impose upon
you any unpleasant duty whatever
other than "voting."
All prospective candidates must
sign and file the required pledges and
pay their assessments by 12 o'clock,
noon, Friday, the 7th. Any one failing
to do so cannot be voted for in
the primary, or have his nafe on the
tickets. See the treasurer, Mr. R. C.
Ilf'lll _ A.
Williams, at once.

County Chairman.

HARDING SPEAKS P
TO HOME FOLKS
Marion, Ohio, July 4.?With an
emphatic declaration that the con- Pr
stitutioh and laws sponsored by the dii
majority must be enforced, President th<
Harding:, addressing his "friends and dis
neighbors" who assembled at the fair ye
grounds here today to celebrate his Gi
home coming, declared that "menaces de
do arise" which must be suppressed th
by the government pending their ef- 'ha
facement by public opinion. of
Coupled with this assertion was the
prediction that 'America will go on" er
and that the fundamentals of the re- ar
public and all its liberties will be pre- th
served." Sp
During his address the president ca
touched on prohibition, discussed the
right of "a free America, not only to X
labor without any other's leave" but W(
"to bargain collectively," reviewed 8p
the history of Marion which is cele- gj
brating its 100th birthday anniver- sj,
Bary and referred to a number of in- nt
cidents of his earlier life. He spoke \ A
from a grandstand filled with 'home jjr
folks" and visitors from surrounding fe
territory. Massed in front of him
was a huge crowd. It was estimated pe
there were at least 25,000 persons in
the entire throng. The weather was je,
unusually cool. le.
On their arrival at the fair W(
grounds, the president and Mrs. ^r.
Harding were given an ovaiion wnue
frequently during his address the ex- mi
ecutive was interrupted by applause. ar
General Pershing, who also deliv- go
ered an address, was loudly applauded
when he advocated "fearless" use ac
of "the strong arm of the law" in jn
communities which openly sympa- '
thize with "ruthless murder of inof- ^
fensive people in the exercise of thef]
right to earn a livelihood."
President Harding joined in the ar
handclapping which followed this re
statement. m(
The president mentioned the 18th gj(
amendment in connection with his ^
advocacy of striA law enforcement. ar
declaring that "majorities restrained ati
to the protection of minorities" ever ar
must rule, he added. ?
"The 18th amendment denies to a ^
minority a fancied sense of personal ay
^iha^wwhnl, tbm anMnrinawt. will y
of the majority and must be sustain-' %'
ed by the government and public nj.
opinion, else contempt for the law to
will undermine our very foundations."
Departing frequently from the prepared
text of his speech Mr. Harding
with a smile told how he, a green village
youth, once rode into Marion fc
from the nearby town ow Calendonia, y(
his former home, on a 'stubborn
mule." At another juncture he re- OI
marked that "back ip 1895" he droppod
into the "express office" to 'see 0I
some of the fellows" there about a
civic celebration.
There was a burst of applause
when the president said he "would
welcome the day when T can come w
back to stay with you permanently." m
"Some of you may think it's a line 3
thing to be prc#dent," Mr. Hard- w
ing remarked. "Keep on thinking it a1
?you'll find the situation very different
when you wake up." ji,
Of Interest Here ^ g(
Prof. W. I^awrence Walker, of the ^
Institute for the Deaf and Blind at p;
Cedar Spring, and Little Miss Ruby aj
Miller, attended the state meeting of 0j
the association of blind at Anderson
last week. The meeting was an interesting
one. The Anderson Daily
Mail, in speaking of the meeting said:
"The most wonderful part of the 3
meetings was the demonstration of n)
what can be done by patience and 01
hard work in teaching a deaf, dumb j
and blind girl. Professor W. L. Walk- js
er, of Cedar Springs Institute, told
of the work of this South Carolina w
school for the afflicted, and of the hap- C(
piness of the girls and boys. Then ^
had Ruby Miller to come to the front
of the stage, a girl who was brought
to them when she was five years old,
deprived of three senses by a serious
illness from meningitis. p
"Now Ruby is fifteen years old, and e<
can articulate so that she can be p
understood, talks well on her hands, v
and is learning the art of lip reading.
Has a very alert mind and quickly vj
grasps the meaning of things."?

COLUMBIA MASONS |
DEDICATE TEMPLE
With the beautiful and impressive
ceremony which has come down
through the ages, the new Masonic
Temple, corner of Lady and Sumtet !
streets, was dedicated last evening
in the presence of an attentive and
interested audience, the ceremony
being held in the Blue Lodge on the
second floor.
Some time before the ceremony was
due to commence, the lodge was filled,
the number of ladies present being
especially noticeable. Shortly befor.9
o'clock, the ceremony began, .5.
Campbell Bissell of Charleston, grand
master, presiding. The building was
presented for approbation to the
grand master by C. -C. Campbell,
chairman of the building committee,
and the tools used in its erection were
presented by the architect, J. B. Urqu-j
hart. The "corn of plenty", the "wine |
oi reiresnmenv ana tnc "oil ot joy
were "then poured upon the stone in
the center of the lodge and after various
symbolic ceremonies were gone
through with, the building received
the approbation of the grand master.
The grand master, after expressing
his pleasure at being present, presented
as the orator of the evening.
William W. Wannamaker of Orangeburg,
past grand master, who made
an illuminating address on the "Cardinal
Truths of Masonry.'
In introducing his subject the
speaker asserted that the secrets of
Free Masonry pertained only to the
individual and were not repugnant tx
the laws of God or man. On the contrary
the teachings were positive in
morals, sustaining in influence and
constructive and uplifting in civil and
religious thought, he said. He asserted
that all the philosophy of free
masonry was centered around four
cardinal truths, they being the Fatherhood
of God, the brotherhood of
man, the resurrection of the dead and
the immortality of the soul.
Herein was contained all of man's
joys and griefs and all of his fears
and hopes. Hence Free Masonry was
universal in application. In practice
t could look beyond the jealousies and
the hatreds and the animosities of
men and nations and perceive in every
an immortal soul worthy
of every light and influence that can
elevate it toward the goal of that perfection
necessary for eternal bliss.
Entering upon his subject, the "Cardinal
Truths in Masonry," he stated
that every applicant for the degree
was required to assert a firm belief
in the existence in God before he
could be advanced into the mysteries.
lie then described its method ot
teaching a knowledge of God by deductions
from physical phenomena
and the intuitive or inward knowledge
that each one has of the necessity for
a first cause and controlling will.
Speaking on the brotherhood of
Man, he translated it first into the
practical application of the Golden
rule, "Do unto others as you would
have them do unto you. But there
was a higher conception ? one that
implied more than the granting of
equal rights and equal privilege, he
said. It was service to humanity,
translating it into deeds of charity
and beneficence?deeds of charity that
I will spread the soft mantle of love, as
a protecting shield, over the destitute
widow and helpless orphan; deeds of
beneficences that have erected here
a nation of schools and churches and
hospitals to scatter light and love and
mercy upon 100,000,000 people.
Mr. Wannamaker was warmly applauded
at the conclusion of his able
address. The pleasure of the evening
was augmented by a number of
musical selections which were rendered
by an orchestra and choir in
the balcony. The music was under
the direction of John Rodgers.
Among the visitors attending the
ceremony from out of Columbia were:
C. K. Chreitzberg, Rock Hill, deputy
grand master; William A. Giles, Belton,
junior grand warden, and W. W.
