C., Sept. 4.?Brownlow Jackson, United States marshal, i announced that deputy United States marshals who have been on duty in the Asheville yards of the Southern Railway company since the strike of shopmen occurred, would remain on the property and go to any point on the company's yards where they are needed to carry out the terms of President Harding's proclamation. For two nights in succession the firemen and switchmen in the Asheville yards of the Southern have refused to work on account of the special guards and United States deputy marshals and temporary settlements have been effected each time by moving the guards as requested by the switchmen and firemen. Saturday ! night some deputy marshals and spe cial guards were moved out of the v property and took up their posts r across a road bordering the com- f pany's yards. $ Mr. Jackson said: "United States deputy marshals are not on duty as r guards of the property, other than t to see that interstate commerce and t the United States mails are not de- r layed through interference with f equipment or molesting of employ- t ees, and this they will do, acting un- s dcr authority of the United States government." f The switchmen and firemen on the t "third trick" in the railroad yards, c hwho for the past two nights have r protested against the presence of <] special guards and deputy United 2 States marshals, tonight, registered t no objection to the marshals, follow- r ing the announcement by United States Marshal Jackson v c F.

We trust that the ^ people of Union who have mattresses to be renovated, will drop Mr. Craw- . ford a card at general delivery, so that he will know on whom to call. , Another one of the blind men will , probably assist Mr. Crawford in his ; work. In addition to the mattress work, Mr. Crawford will have the agency for selling the furniture and basketry from the workshop in Columbia.

Punch and cake were served.Revival at Green Street One of the events of the county just now is the revival campaign at Green Street Methodist church of this city. Hundreds of people are crowding the church and on Sunday nigh*, last, all available space was taken in the church and gallery and others left , for lack of room. No less than 60i> , people were present , Dr. Starke is easily the strongest | evangelist who has labored in this , country for years. He is unique in , his delivery, and fills his sermons with | humorous allusions and striking illus- ( trations. He is a live wire; there is ( no dragging from start to finish. He j searches the hearts of his audience j with the divine law, and reveals the hideousness of a heart of sin, and | the glory of a heart of purity. The preacher's subject last night was "Christian Civilization." The message was. a masterpiece, and com minded the rapt attention of his hearers. Subject tonight, "The Royal Birth." Every citizen of Union should hear Dr. Starke on this great subject. Miss Stockard, the singer and trained worker among young people, ~1s a wonder. Scores of boys and girls meet her in the church every morning at ? o'clock. What does she do with them ? Teaches them the Bible, of course. ( HowT From the chip's viewpoint.

The list of men was reduced to 46 oday by the discovery that one of 1 he men supposedly under ground in lie Argonaut mine had quit shortly >efore the explosion and gone to vork at the Kennedy mine. As hi3 lame had not been taken off the Argonaut payroll, it was at first beieved he was entombed. One of the night crews of rescuers working in the adjoining Kennedy nine, was the man who said he heard ive explosions coming from the Ar- 1 ronaut when two signal blasts were ired on the 3,700 foot level. The ' iiiners say the sounds could not have >een caused by falling rocks. Alhough Thursday is officially an lounced as the earliest possible date 1 or a rescue, opinion in Jackson is hat it is possible the end of the 1 earch may come before that date. 1 At noon today' the men working rom the 3,600 foot level trying to each the Argonaut through the old onnecting tunnel between the two nines, which has been filling with lebris since a fire two years ago, had !7 feet left to go in the 60 foot de- ' our they are making around a fornation of hard green rock. After completing the detour they vill have 353 feet of the tunnel to 1 lear out before starting to make a! '5 foot cut through a 2,200 foot rise o the 4,200 foot level of the Argolaut, where the entombed men can >e reached.

Georgia Politics Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 2.?Reajflfoment of political forces and the H>J?lux Klan issue are absorbing the Wterc3t of Georgia voters who will gV.to the polls on September 13 to nlpttinate candidates for governor, congdh} and numerous state offices. Of greatest interest is the M&e between Governor Thomas WjpHavdwick, who is seeking renodBnptiou, and Clifford W. Walker, who.'jfcs defeated in the primary two ypfifi ago. Mr. Hardwick, who was on ^ Bicket with United States Senato^Snomas E.

Harris and Mr. Watson. Mr. Harris' term will expire in 1925 and Mr. Watson's in 1927. Governor H ardwick has denied having "broken faith" with anyone, adding: have never broken a promise to Senator, Watson, have never made a promise to Senator Watson and have never been asked to make a promise to Senator Watson." The Ku Klux Klan Issue was thrust into the campaign by the governor when he demanded that faiey go unmasked except in lodge rooms, and when in several of his campaign speeches he declared: "I am opposed to invisible govern ment, either from the city of Washington or the imperial palace .of the Ku Klux Klan or from anywhere else." He has declared that the country still is in the midst of a period of unrest, of crime waves, and it m unfortunate that another Ku Klux Klan should be organized at this time." Mr. Walker has refrained from discussing the Klan issue and has confined his speeches principally to discussions of tax questions. Six of the 12 congressmen seeking renomination have encountered opposition, the race of Mayor James L. Key, of Atlanta, and Ralph 0. Cochran seeking the seat now held by Representative William D. Upshaw, who is after the renomination from the fifth district, attracting most attention. In the first district, Rep. J. W. Overstreet is opposed by R. L. Moore, of Statesboro, and Judge J. J. Flynt, former president of the state senate and former chairman of . the state Democratic executive committee, is running: against Rep. K. W. Wise from the sixth district. Representative'Charles H.

GOMPERS TALKS OF INJUNCTION Philadelphia, Sept. 4. ? President Samuel Qoninars of a Federation of Labor, in a Labor day address, said that the injunction issued against the railroad shopmen last week was a violation of the constitution and the law of the land. H?* characterized the action of Attorney General Daugherty as "exercising i power never dreamed of in the history of the republic." The veteran labor chief said the injunction was wrong in principle and in fact and was a confession that the shopmen have nearly won their r.trike. He urged that the union< furnish money to support the womer. end children of the men on strike. "The men must fight and take care of themselves, ' he declared. President Harding and Attorney General Daugherty were criticized by Mr. Gompers for the issuance of the injunction and he asserted that- both had advocated legislation to bring about "compulsory labor." The party of Lincoln which freed the slaves, r-aid Mr. Gompers, is now trying to force compulsory labor upon ti.e whites and blacks. Mr. Gompers spoke under the auspices of the Central Labor union of Philadelphia. In introducing the labor leader, John A. Voll, international president of the Glass Bottle Blowers' union, said that according to Washington dispatches labor leaders have been admonished to speak carefully or the "Gob'ins would get them." He declared that the open shop is dead "despite the efforts of the administration to rescue it from oblivion." Telling his hearers that he came to Philadelphia to deliver a message of hope and encouragement, to men and women who believe in freedom, justiee and democracy, Mr. Gompers declared that the present Is the time when organized labor must more firmly resolve to stand for the declaration of independence and the constitutional guarantees of the republic. I "In view of existing conditions and circumstances," said the veteran labor leader," now is the time that tries men's souls to overcome tyranny and injustice and to maintain the fundamental principles of America." ' Lull In Strike D?vlopmnts Chicago, Sept. 5.?With the go/ ernment's rail strike injunction universally condemned by the union leaders in Labor Day addresses, impending federal court action in the cases growing out of the arrests for alleged violations of writ oe upied the foreground in the industrial situation today.
