New Gasoline Pump.

Everett Hardware Co. today
installed in front of their store a
new device for pumping gasoline.
1t is known as the Visible Gas
Pump, operated by electricity,
and thereby eliminates the labor
ious hand-crenking. When a
customer wishes gas. the opera
tor simply presses a button, the
motor pumps a fve-gallon glass
reservoir full of gasoline and the
customer sees clearly exactly the
amount he is to get; it then flows
through the hose to the car tank.
This is the only gas station of
its kind between Raleigh and
Charlotte.

the board of health of that town
Tuesday night met and ordered
the colored school closed, and
placed a ban upon public gather
ings, lodges and churches in the

Miss Anne Steele Dead.

Death is at all times sad, but
especially when one is cut down
in the full vigor of life. And too
often it seems that Death chooses
a shining mark.
Miss Anne Steele gently passed
away on Friday afternoon, of last
week, at 4:15 o'clock. She knew
her malady was fatal, and yet
bore her sufferings and the inevi-
table end with truly wonderful
composure and resignation.
The funeral service was con-
Quoted from the residence at
three o'clock Sunday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. J. H. Hall.
Several hundred friends from
tar and near gathered i in the
house and yard to pay their mark
of respect and love to her mem
ory. The songs, the quartette
she wished to sing, and the pail
bearers were all selected by her
two days before the end. And
so, Mrs. H. F. Long, Miss Mossie
Long, Stansill Covington and
Perry West sang Count Your
Many Blessings, Name Them
One by One," and open My
Eyes That | May See," at the
house, and my Faith Looks Up
to Thee" at the cemetery. The
pall-hearers were T. c. Leak, J.
LeGrand Everett, John L. Everett,
Moody Strowd, Henry Ledbetter
and Robt. S. Cole. The cortege
after the service wended it's way
to the Leak cemetery where she
was inferred by the side of her
and father. The floral
designs were in unusually large
numbers, and beautiful.
Miss Anne Steele was born
Jan. IL, 1878. She was a daugh-
ter OF the late Col. Walter L.
Steele, who was born in 1923 and
was a distinguished statesman,
serving for two terms in Con.
gress, and a number of times in
the State Assembly. Her mother
was Miss Mary J. Little, of An
son county, she having been
to her father in 1864.

Drive for Local League
To Be Feature of Mrs.
Trout's Appearance Here

Mrs. Harlowe Lindley, president of
the Women's Franchise league, re-
ceived a letter from Horace Ellis, a
special representative of the National
Republican Committee. Wednesday
morning urging that the Richmond
league greet Grace Wilbur Trout, who
comes to the chautauQua platform, at
2:30 Thursday afternoon, with appre-
citation, as her work for the cause has
been unbounded. The letter said:
Grace Wilbur Trout's name is a
benediction to our civilization. 1t is
appropriate that l say to you that her
appearance in your city is a notable
event. l have been from Alabama to
Michigan with her on the lecture plat
form, and have the highest respect for
her splendid powers to instruct. What
ever she has to say to the men and
women of Richmond, will be of i'm
portance."
Owing to the delay of the Bostonia
SeXtette company, which will not ar
rive in the city until $40, Mrs. Trout
will appear first in the afternoon, and
immediately following her address, an
informal reception and drive for mem.
! bers for the local franchise league
will be given.
| This league has furnished SIS to the
state league this year and new mem
| bers are greatly desired to insure its
success during the coming year. II
is hoped that the informal drive
Thursday afternoon. will do away with

Russia Not Traitor To
Allied Cause, Says St.
John, Russian Traveller

Ernest e. ST. John, who while serv-
ing with the Y. M. c. A. in Russia,
was detailed with the Russian army
for a long trip to the interior, and
who described the sacrifices OF the
Russian peasant, was the speaker Of
the afternoon at the chautauqua Tues
day.
According to ST. John the Russian
peasant had nothing of the joy of pa
triotism to buy his spirits and kindle
the fidelity which was found in the
hearts of the soldiers Of the other al
lies.
II do not feel that the Russians were
traitors to the allies" said he. "They
were swept away by the promise Of
better things. and certainly they had
little to tempt them to continue their
alliance. They did not know what
good Constantinople would do them,
and they don't know yet"
Travelling conditions and the acute
suffering of the Russian soldiers were
described by st. John

as they will soon bring universal dis
tress, and labor will be the chief
sufferer. All history says So No
sane man can afford to be unjust to
labor. Capital and labor are both
necessary to human progress, and
just in proportion as one suffers the
other suffers also.
BE it enacted" theories never
made two blades of grass grow where
one grew before. But labor does.
Longer and not shorter hours a
starving world must have. Increased
production is the only true remedy
for the high cost of living. and also
the only true principle for added com,
forts in the world of progress.
Will we cease lamenting and boldly
strive for facts by curing the disease
through increased production? We
see no other alchemy except by pa
tient, earnest work, and nature will dc
the rest. Or will we blindly destroy
prosperity in vicious circle of rising
prices caused by continually advanc
ing wages? Even labor leaders con
cede this.-The Times Annalist.

starve.
We must be patient. To aggravate
the situation the walking delegate
and the sentimentalist have demanded
higher pay for labor, which would not
be so bad II 1t were not coupled with
an insane demand for shorter hours
of work, thus decreasing production,
when increased production is the only
panacea worth fig to cure the worlds

remedy seems not to be understood
by many good men.
Capital and Labor.
