MILLIONAIRE ENDS STRIKE
McHarg Said to Have Carried Pistol
AS Persuader.

Henry K. McHarg, Jr., manager OF
the Twin Grocer iron furnaces, being
operated by the Virginia Iron, Coal
and Coke Company today quelled a
strike in the establishment at the point
of a pistol.
Several Of the stockhouse hands
quit yesterday morning, and it was be-
lieved hat there would be a general
strike today. AS a preventative Mama
eel McHarg secured the services OF
Detective Sergeant Griffin to assist him
in the management of the proposed
meeting. He DhOned police headquar-
ters to have an officer meet him at a
deep cut near the furnaces. through
which most of the day and night men
were to pass to and from their homes
Young McHarg, who is a physical giant
appeared with the officer in his furnace
garb. a blue sweater, with sleeves roll
ed up to his elbows and trousers held
I'D by a belt. But the two forces met
and passed without a word. McHarg
was as black and grimy from furnace
SCOT as any laborer.
This morning at six O'Clock, when
the day and night shift changed, the
determined young millionaire manager
was on hand in his usual work garb,
as above described. He noticed the
strikers and many undecided laborers
gathered around them, and when the
whistle sounded for shift of laborars
he approached the group with pistol
and watch in hand, and in a most de
termined manner gave all those who
wanted to work one minute to get to
their posts. and those who did not The
same time to move off the premises.
A number left, leaving their coats be-
hind, but a LARGE majority of the men
proceeded to work.
McHarg came to Radford four years
ago from New York and began to
work as a day laborer in his fathers
furnace, at wages of s1.25 a day, to
learn the iron business. He was
steadily promoted until he is now a
ager Of one of the largest iron furnaces
in the south.-Roanoke Despatch.

RECORD OF THE REST HOUSE
Was Closed for the Season ON Septem.
Der 18th.

The Rest House on the beach closed
, on the 18th. During the last two weeks
of it's existence the Elks cottage was
freely given for it's use. The list OF
contributors to this b~enefaction was
not large, but the extent of the spirit
of their support is warmly apprecia--
ed. If they needed reward it would
be sufficient for them to have seen the
Improvement of health and gratitude
e OF feeling on the part of the GONZALES
cent sick.
One case alone would have Justified
the venture, that of a young woman
whose time was up at the hospital
who had not fully recovered from a
severe operation and who gained fiji
teen pounds in two weeks stay at the
Rest Home. Not the least good done
was to the nurses at the hospital VITO
have seen a summer of especially ar
duous work. They came down, after
a days work, in twos and threes, took
supper, spent the night, and aftoE
Breakfast returned to the hospital fol
duty. There were in all fifty-six visits
from the nurses, including a stay OF
two weeks On the part of n who
helped with patients. This work
: should be made permanent.

TRIBUTE TO THE HOME LIFE
Answer to Matrimonial SkeDtics in the
Last Will of Man.

There was a last will and testament
made public in this state last week
that speaks wei! FOR humanity. It was
the will of a Montana man who died
leaving a large estate to his wife and
son, his sole heirs and although he
left them all Of his worldly estate, rhe
manner Of giving and the words
coming over the river from the far
Their sbore-in which the giving was
expressed, doubtless count for more
with the bereaved ones than the wealth
itself, for into the usually dry and
prosaic terms of a will this man con-
trived to weave the expression Of 4
boundless love and confidence in those
he left behind. To his lawful and
ever loyal wife" he gave, unreserve1ly,
all his estate for her own uses and
purposes during her lifetime, provid-
ing only for the maintenance, sup
port, education of u son." and on the
death of the wife the estate is to ias-
cend as unreservedly to the son. He
even looked the probability Of a second
marriage squarely in the face AMI in
a manly way, recognizing the possibll-
ity of such an event, he sought to
guard against mere fortune hunters
by providing that such an event should
not in any respect alter the terms OF
his will, and that no person should
acquire rights of support or helrship
by eason of a marriage with his Wild
ow, but that his estate and the incre-
ment thereof should still be solely De
voted to the uses of his widow and his
son. In referring to his son, h tes-
tator indicates him as one "for whom
I have the highest love and respect,
which he has won by his loyal y
ton, upright conduct, and noble quail
ties of head and heart" Will The
boy ever forget this expression Of love
and confidence from his father, Or fell
away from the high standard it estao-
fishes? Finally, the wife is made the
sole administrators without bonds.
In the face of such a testimonial az
this to the superlative merit of the
married state, what becomes Of III
trite assertion that marriage is a fail
ure? All the rotten divorces that venal
state courts could turn out in a yaar
would not weigh perceptibly against
this pothumous tribute to the en1ur-
ing worth of the solemn pact. Divorce
is in most cases merely a demOnstca-
ton of the error of the particular mar
riage concerned; not always, but in
many cases, a cartification by law that
it should not have been. Mistakes are
made in every walk of life and as he
temptation to matrimony is great and
as it too often assails the man and
the maid in their silly season." there
is small cause for wonder that divorces
are so prevalent, and yet when statis-
tically reduced TO a percentage. hey
are in fact remarkably infrequent. For
the decade ended in 1900 the percent
age of divorces to marriages was
scarcely expressible in figures. Only
obs per cent. Hardly a scratch On
the foundation of the magnificent mon
ument to the home reared in this
country by such interchange Of love,
confidence and loyalty as is evidenced
by the will that has been taken here
as a text.-Ye,lowstone Daily Journal.

Company has been engaged and those
who visited the carnival of the Junior
Order last year know that the shows
were unusually good. The company
coming here this season is the same
as last year and they nave added sew
eral new features. The Junior Order
are expecting the carnival to prove a
big success. 1t will be held early in
November.
The Masonic bazaar will come next
in the list and will be a fitting close for
the fall festivities. 1t will be held in
the Masonic temple and will be in
the nature Of a bazaar and crysanthe-
mum show combined. It will be one
of the bi rest things of the kind ever

60 NORTH FOR TREATMENT
Ladies Injured in Street Car Wreck
Have Not Recovered.
Mrs. Einstein and Her Two Daughters
Have one TO BaltimOre-Miss Flor
Helpless N 1t is Believed That Her
Spine is Injured.

Mrs. S. Einstein and her two daugn
tiers. Misses Florence and Eva, hay.
found it necessary to go to Baltimor:
for treatment, as the result of injuries
sustained in a street car accident or
Wrightsville Beach about a month
ago.
The accident. 1t will be remember
ed. occurred near the Sea Shore hotel
A freight a was on the siding and
some one mad opened the switch anC
when the small car which ran between
the Hotel barrymore and Lu1nina
started in the direction of tfre latter
place at a comparatively rapid speed
1t entered the open switch and struck
the freight a with great force. Thc
seats III the middle of the passenger
car were smashed and it was in the
center of the car that the Misses Fins
tein and their mother were sitting.
Those injured were carried to tbs
hotel where they were stopping ami Il
physician summoned. 1t was aot
thought at the time that any of those
on the car were injured seriously, and
the full extent of the injuries received
by the Misses Einstein did not become
apparent for several days. When they
went to leave for their home they were
brought to Wilmington ON a specia!
car. 1t was known when they left
Wilmington hat their injuries were
rather serious, out their friends had
no idea of their condition becoming
such as to necessitate their going north
for treatment. They have many
friends in Wilmington who will be
sorry to learn that they are still suf-
fering from their injuries.
A special sent Out from Kinston on
Friday, says:
Mrs. S.. Einstein and two daughters,
Misses Florence and Eva, accompanied
by Mr.. Adolph Einstein and DR.. J
M. Parrot, have gone to Richmond,
Va, where, at the Hodges Hospital,
Mrs. Einstein and the Misses Einstein
will undergo special treatment for the
injuries received in the , street car
wreck at Wrightsville Beach about a
month ago.
"The ladies suffer greatly from their
Injuries, Miss Florence being entirely
helpless. and it is blieved her spiIe
is injured, besides internal injuries
Miss Evas injuries are from ar in
jured foot, while Mrs. Einstein also
suffers a great deal. There is mucn
sympathy felt by friends of the fami-
ly and it is hoped the visit to Rich
mond will result in a complete cure
