ADEQUATE DEFENSE IS
URGED BY EX. GOV. FOLK
Speaks at 135th Anniversary Cele-
bration Of the Battle of
Kings Mountain.

KINGS MOUNTAIN. N. G.. October 8.
|-Ex.-Gov. ]. W. Folk of Missouri was
the principal speaker at the 135th an
niversary celebration of the battle of
Kings mountain here yesterday. Gov.
Locke Craig Of North Carolina was also
prominent speaker.
On account of a heavy rain. that be-
gan falling early and continued all
day, the outdoor exercises had to be
suspended, but it did not prevent hun
dreds of people from all sections of the
state from attending.
Made Republic Possible.
Ex-Gov. Polk said. in part:
This victory gave inspiration to the
soldiers of the revolution throughout
the land and turned the tide of battle
in favor Of the American colonies. 1t
may be justly said, therefore, that
the battle fought at Kings mountain
more than any other one event, made
possible the American republic. the
noblest offspring of time"
Referring to the neeI of national
preparedness. Mr.. Polk said: las long
as nations are armed for aggression We
must be prepared for defense. While
other nations have their armies and
navies. we must have a navy big
enough to protect us against even a
world in arms and an army large
enough to defend US from foreign
greed. Until there is an international
parliament and an international army
and navy there can be no power to en-
force a nations mandates and to up
hold it's honor and dignity except it's
army and navy.
War and Savagery Banded.
There is not a foot of foreign terri
tory that we want or would take, and
there Is not foot of American terri
tory that we would permit to be taken
from US SO long as we have power to
defend 1t.
mo man knows what this stupendous
war is about; no man knows when or
what the end will be; certain 1t is,
though, that war and savagery go to-
gether; peace and brotherhood are
joined.
1--WE may not attain the ideals of
peace and brotherhood at any time
soon, but we can strive for them with
the assurance that this endeavor will
lead us up the heights Of achieve
ment and at last out into the sunlight
of universal peace in the fatherhood
of God and the brotherhood of man.
Then the principles fought for at
Kings mountain will be fully realized"

STORM FORCES HIM
TO GIVE UP TASK
Charles Durborow Unable 10 Make
Swim From Cape Charles 10
Cape Henry.

Norfolk. June 27.--with the goal
less than two hours away adverse
weather conditions forced Charles b.
Durborow, the Philadelphia long dis
lance swimmer. TO abandon his Eff
fort to swim from Cape Charles to
Cape Henry. When he was about
SIX miles from Cape Henry, near the
middle ground buoy, a twenty mile
southerly wind set in and kicked up
such sea over the shoals in the
entrance to Chesapeake Bay his ad-
visers decided 1t would be foolhardy
to trust the dory with it's rowers and
pilot, and Durborow to the mercy Of
the tumbling waves.
When Durborow crawled over the
side of the auxiliary yacht Matoaks
which was acting as convoy, he was
as fresh as when he waded in at the
