Tha Eleur.da.Iia.

The origin of. the feurde-siS Is still
an unsettled DIGESTION. There are many
theories, but no two Of them agree.
One makes the emblem originate with
Clovis l.. another with Louis VII, an
other with one OF the German kings
of the twelfth century and still anoth-
er with the Romans. All that is def
nitely settled is the fact that since the
twelfth century the deurde-lis has
been employed as the emblem of
French royalty. The nature OF the en-
blem fs also in dispute. An old tradi-
ton makes it the representation of the
lily given by the angel to Clovis at his
baptism. Another theory is that it was
adopted by Louis VII. In aIlusion to
his name, Louis F1orus.

WILL ORGANIZE
MOTORCYCLE CLUB
Plans Laid to Allay Friction
and Promote Fellowship.
All Motorcycle Owners
and Riders to Hold Mass
Meeting at Chamber of
Commerce Saturday at IL.

A mass meeting Of all motorcycle
riders and owners is called to meet
in the rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce Saturday, April II, for the pur-
pose of organizing motorcycle club
for Union county. There are several
reasons why there should be such a.
organization; but the two prime re,
ons are: To allay friction and to pl
mote fellowship.
Now that there are so large
number of motorcycle riders, it be
comes necessary for every precautior
to be exercised to protect the public
first and the motorcycle rider second.
Well nigh all the irritation caused
the general public by motorcycles ca,.
be avoided by the establishment and
enforcement of few simple rules to
be obeyed by the motorcycle riders.
There rules will also promote the safe
ty of the public and of the motor
cycle riders. Again, the spirit of
fellowship among the riders of motor
cycles may be furthered by regular
organization of all riders of all makes
of motorcycles. Let all riders, no
matter of what make of machine, at,
tend the mass meeting Saturday. 1t
is proposed that we perfect a regular
organization and adopt constitution
and bylaws. All these details can be
worked out through committees after
thorough discussion Saturday.

CONFIDENT THAT HE

Junior Senator Has Been Speaking i'm

the Chances of Blease Dur

Columbia, April 6.-United States,
Senator E. d. Smith did not discuss
his race for reelection while in the
city today en- route to Washington
from the Pee Dee section of the State
where he has been speaking. The
junior senator was in conference with
several of his political lieutenants
while in the city and appeared con
fident. He gave out no statement rel
ative to the candidacy of his oppon-
ent, Governor Blease. Senator Smiths
friends are encouraged over the good
news he has been receiving on his
present trip through the Pee Dee,
they say. They state they are conf
dent that he will defeat Governo.
Blease by good majority. The sem
ator himself, however, while smiling
ly confident will not discuss his op-
ponent's chances but is leaving that
until the joint debate this summer.
Senator Smiths cotton bill is well
on it's way to passage through con-
gress and the immigration COMMITTEES
of which he is chairman has that bill
before the senate. On both measures

Had Close Call.

On Tuesday afternoon, March 3rd,
during what seemed to be very light
thunder storm, two young colored
men employed on the farm of D'Au.
brey Gregory, six miles east of Union,
came near losing their lives from
lightning stroke.
The men were going to their homes
after putting up the stock in the
Earn and were walking near barbed
wire fence, when suddenly there was
a sound as of a terrific explosion and
they were almost knocked down py
the shock. On investigation it was
found that lightning had entered the
fence at spot which the men ha,
just passed, the place being about
two or three feet from the walking
path.
This is the third time that light
ming has entered this particular sec
tion OF fence and clearly demonstrates
the Danger of wire fences which are
not provided with grounded wires.
