Harvey speak. He came to Union at the invitation of the local lodge Knights of Pythias and the Young Men's Business League and was entertained in the home of CoL B. F. Alston, Jr., a member of his staff. The meeting was presided over by Col. Alston and a prayer was offered by Dr. E. S. Baavea. Mayor O. E. * Smith, in behalf of the city, welcomed the chief executive of the state and said he felt honored that he had given us this opportunity to meet together. Governor Harvey chose for his subject, "Citizenship," and set a high standard for the chief executive and the citizens. He said the people get the kind of officers they wish and should reg^ | the law as a sacred Mimy ana v&uaience to its require- 1 ments a sacrM duty. He impressed 1 the vast audience as being a true, ] courageous man with high ideals and convictions and is bringing these characteristics into the administration of the state's affairs and is doing a great work in pulling South Carolina to the front. He was given the closest attention' throughout his speech and the onlyi regret Union has, is that his visit was ' too short and Mrs. Harvey was unable j to accompany him on his journey J through the Piedmont.

William Mitchell, assistant chiel of the United States army air service today set a new official world's speer record when he flew over one kilometer coarse at Self-ridge field at an average speed of 224.05 miles an houi in four heats. The teat was timed bj representatives of the federation aeroque internationale, this making the record official. General Mitchell drove the arm? Cvitiss plane which last week won the Pulitzer speed trophy and in which Lieut. R. J. Maughan later drove un. officially at a speed of 248.5 miles an hour. While Lieutenant Maughan's speed at that time was faster than that of today and was under United States army regulations, no representatives of the Federation Aeronautque internationale were present, a fact that .prevented his mark standing as an official world's speed record. The former world's record, recognized by the federation, was made in '".finpp lnnf .tooi- K? cnt ? _ ?? ?,w -vw* MV kj?ui uc vyuilltv, wh>_piloted his machine at an average )f 206 miles an hour. General Mitchell in the tests today dew twice with and twice against the wind. On the two tests with the wind averaged 243.94 and 241.83 miles in hour respectively. Against the wind his average was 204.29 and 206.16 miles an hour. Commenting on his great speed, General Mitchell Said it might now be :onsidered "an ordinary feat" for an iviator in one of the modern high jower planes to attain a rAte far in ?xc :hs of 200 miles an hour Only nechanical development with increased protection for pilots, wu ? necessary le believed to register eve" faster lights than have been made. General Mitchell's leather helmet was split by the wind during his rush hrough the air. This showed, he said, hat the aviators' headgear must be fc-designed before the high speed ould be maintained with safety. An nclosed cockpit might also aid in tolving the problem, he said. The force of the wind at the speed le attained today, General Mitchell tdded. probably would be great mougn to brea a pilot's arm were he o thrust out his nand during such a light. To set the new official record, Seneral Mitchell drove an army Curias biplane mounting a 400 horse wwer Curtiss engine. Secretary of Commerce Hoover witdevelopment.

J., Oct. 18 (Bj the Associated Press. ? Affidavit; have been obtained from two met whose identity the authorities refuse vo divulge. the county prosecutors -aid tonight, which sets forth thai the double murder of the Rev. Ed. ward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanoi Reinhardt Mills did not occur in the Somerset county orchard where the indies were found but in a burn on the southern outskirts of New Brunswick. Investigation which followed the filing of the affidavits, the authorities said, led to the discovery by the police of the two handkerchifs, one a lean's and the other a woman's?held to be Important clues in the case. They were not found on the Phillips farm, as was reported at that time but in the barn which stands on the opposite side of New Brunswick. Two'dark brown combs also are said to haw been found on the first floor of the barn. These combs, Charlotte Mills is reported to have identified is having belonged to her mother. The statement which the authorises allege they have obtained from the two men is said to declare that they were driving from Red Bank, N. J., about 12 o'clock on the night of September 14. Two miles out from New Brunswick they said they passed the bam, a deserted dilapidated structure, plastered with advertising posters, which stands in a field close iO the highway. From this barn, the men are reported to have said, they heard *creams issuing, pleas for mercy, and then one long shriek, "murder"; "The iiolice." The men drove through New Irunswick without reporting the occurrence and an hour later were on tinston avenue when they were passed by a sedan going towards the Philiips firm. In the machine, they said, were a woman wearing a grey coat and a man. The affidavit is said to state further that the men were on Easton avenue near the park which adjoins the Phil.ips farm for nearly half an hour and they say the sedan returning at high speed. It turned from Easton avenue near the park and disappeared The county prosecutors, in an effort to shrewd their investigation in a secrecy which they declare to be essential to a successful solution of mystery, have removed their headquarters to the town of Boundkrook, N. J., where they were in close conference tonight. In ceruain quarters the statement of the two signers of the affidavits is not being accepted unqualifiedly. These detractors point out that it contradicts evidence already taken in tha victofcr of trie Phillips nQTrte ?hdt umv -neaVa the screams and shots on the farm on the night of the. double slaying. That the examination of Mrs. Hall, the widow of the rector, in the prosecutor s office when she was closely scrutinized by a woman whose identity has not been fully revealed was even more eerie and mystifying than at first reported, became known in connection with the announcement of the obtaining of the affidavits. This woman, the prosecutors now say, was only a decoy. Sitting directly across the room she was supposed to absorb all of the attention of Mrs. Hall while the rector's widow was being closely scrutinized by the two men who are now said to have made the affidavits. The authorities have declined to make public the result of this elaborate plan for examining Mrs. Hall. The love notes of the rector and i Mrs. Mills, shed an entirely new light I on certain phases of the case, the au thorities said. The "Minnie" of these notes, Mia. Addison T. Clark, has been questioned regarding her movements, particularly on the day on which the bodies of the rector and the choir singer were found. She was asked whether she had ever taken any pastry to Mr. Hall. This she is said to have denied, but has admitted according to the authorities carrying a package into the Church of St, John the Evangelist, the day on which (he crime became public." The authorities said they had nol accepted her explanation that this package contained nothing but tht vestments of the slain rector. Word was received from Boundbrook of the continued optimism ol the prosecutors, which revived suddenly at the height of preparations to turn the entire case over to th< state authorities on Sunday, wher promises of definite action were made to Governor Edwards. The govemoi is expected in New Brunswick tomor row but whether directly in connection with the Hall-Mills murder coulc not be learned. Much evidence and many new clues have been revealed since the granting of grace to the local authorities Yet, according to the prosecutors their optimism is' based on far mors valuable evidence, the nature of which can not be learned through th< pall of mystery and secretiveness which the prosecutors successfully have drawn about them. i Spartanburg District Conference (Contributed) t ' The Spartanbrg District confer ence of A.

Democratic rally here tonight, charg ed that Secretary of Commerce Hoo . ver, who spoke at a gathering o i Republicans here Monday night avoided timely issues when he dis cussed the country's foreigrn debts. I The former governor made no di rect reference to the league of na tions, the issue upon which his cam ' paign as the Democratic candidate for president was based in 1920. Referring to the intensive cam , paign being conducted in the state b: Republicans, Mr. Cox said. "Ohio i: signally honored this week. Most o the cabinet officers are paying us i visit. Whether it is courtesy to th? home of the president or whether th* Old Guard has received an SOS mes sage, I will not attempt to say." In discussing Mr. Hoover's speech Mr. Cox said that "ordinarily hi.; analysis of conditions results in con elusions that are thoughtful and in teresting. We awaited with eager ness his message to the people o1 Ohio with respect to the existing eco nomical and political situation. Wt naturally looked to Mr. Hoover for s recital of the good things the administration has done and explanation o; what it has not done. "To our surprise, we find that he devoted his time to n discussion o1 the foreign debt. Our people arc much more interested in debts thai effect them more intimately. The farmers have never been such large borrowers at the banks. This yeai the banks will be compelled to lenc more money for tax payments thar at any time in our history. Mr. Hoo ver comes into a state, where th> stpte rate is ten times what it wa^ under the last Democratic adminis1 ration?into a country where property holders in dollars and cents paic almost $11,000,000 in taxes in 1921 as against $4,500,000 in 1915 and little over $2,000,000 in 1900. "In addition to these burdens, ar additional load of $5,000,000,000 is about to be added to the cost of living thi'ough the passage of an infamous tariff measure, which no one has been able to defend successfully. Mr. Hoover admits that postponement of the foreign debt is inevitable, therefore it is a thing of the future flfoOTl ffMim Interested in .the thing? of the present." "After setting forth a comparison of falling produce prices and wages in face of rising taxes," Mr. Cox declared, "M.r. Hoover might haxe explained profitably why deflation canit so quickly 10 the farmer and why it was that the demnnd from abroad di ininished aljnost to the vanishing iioint. He (flight have responded U |-he suggestion of the Americar I Wankers' association, which touchec | directly the matter of rehabilitating our foreign markets. He should have j devoted some time to a discussion o1 our hermit policy and cited preee'dent for the United States remaining , is unmoved as stone in the face o! | one of the most cruel tragedies in all j history. "He should have made it clear how I the nations that owe us money cat ever pay us if all the powers of th< earth do not extend their coopera i ?ion. commercially and otherwise, it the work of rehabilitation."

I , nrY FAIR A DECIDED SUCCESS The Community Fair held at M??n arch Community House Saturday, Oc Stober 14th, was quite a success. The building was attractively decorated and there was a beautiful display in every department. The garden prod r, uets, considering the dry season, were M wonderful. Our boys showed great skill in workmanship in the carpentry and f mechanical art department. The girls had quite a number of pretty bas ' kets and other hand work. Seventy-five cows, most of them beauties, tethered on the school house tpraunds, presented a beautiful sight. One hundred and twenty hoirs were -ntored to compete for the pnzes. s The cannery showed 5,500 quarts of vegetables and 12,000 quarts were put - up in the houses. All of this shows / that Monarch folks are doing their s part in trying to keep down the high f 'ost of li\rtng. i The judges all decided they had a u hard job, as the exhibits were all so , good they wanted to give each one 1 first prize. Ribbons were given as premiums for single exhibits and prizes were jiven for collections. Department A?Garden Products. 1st Prize, $5.00?A. L. Stutts. 2nd Prize, $3.00?M .C. Scott.
