VERY LATEST - Body identii ed

Sheriff Mcdonald received
word this Thursday afternoon
at 3 o'clock that the body of a
negro was found this noon about
a mile and a half from Keyser

scene, and up to going to press
I at 5:45 this afternoon the Post

only me2ger accounts of the
homicide.
The body is that of a colored

fled physically. However, he
has tan shoes and a tan shirt and
that may help.
The body is about a hundred
yards from the public road and
signs indicate that a car had
been driven from the road to the
body.
1t is thought that the body may
be that of a a colord youth, Joe
Wilson of Hamlet, driver for
Hinson Bros. garage. And if so,
then Foster Parsons (see further
do vn in this account may be
connected with the death.
At any rate, an uncle of Par
sons came to Rockingham this
morning to give bail tor him, but
Sheriff Mcdonald received the
following wire from Chief J. s.
Braswell from Durham, just a
few minutes before Parsons was
to be released from jail:
"Hold Parsons without bail. New
and strong evidence developed.-J. S.
Braswell."
Parsons was therefore denied
bail and is stiff in jail.

furniture factories in that town
have been shut down indefinitely
and 5000 workers are out of en-
ployment. Only a part of the
employees belonged to the strik-

forced the factories to close
down. The organizers and agi-

their followers suffer.

Chinese Labor Has
NoUnion Hours and
PAY Is Microscopic

Shanghai, Sept. 6.-American la
Dor unions are in many cases dissat-
isfed with the eight-hour day, and
would reduce the hours Of labor to
six. China has no fixed number OF
hours for work. except in the case
of certain individual factories and
firms. With some Of the latter the
l2-hour day prevails, while with a
smaller proportion the eight-hour
day has become the custom.
In the shops. however, the hours
are Just as long as the proprietor
wants to keep open. The appren-
tees. youths who in America would
still be in the grammar school or the
first year or two of high school, are
the ones who suffer most from this.
Their work time varies anywhere
from Il to 10 hours. Most of the
shops keep open at least 10 hours.
1t is estimated that in the shops
of the foreign settlement alone in
Shanghai there are more than 10000
boy apprentices. Their pay is small,
or nothing at all, though they do re-
ceive rice and lodging where they
work.
Nerv few of the boys, aside from
those employed in Christian estab-
lishments, have any chance for study
or play. They are bound out by their
parents or guardians to the shop
keepers and tradesmen to learn
trade, in much the same way that
English boys used to be apprenticed.
They are almost as completely at the
mercy of the man to whom they are
apprenticed as though he had bought
them as slaves. as still happens in
China, and have no redress from
cruel and inhuman treatment.
Little so far has been done for the
apprentice boys by the mission
workers in China. because the boys,
having been apprenticed by their
parents or guardians, cannot easily
be released. But much is being done
for the childhood generally in China,
and this will eventually react upon
the apprentice boys and make their
situation more tolerable. The Epis-
copal church alone, which has &C.
tivities in six of the IS provinces of
China, has 14S day and SO boarding
schools in China attended by total
of 1858 pupils.

Must Police Turkey.
The first of the concrete results
to follow the adoption of the league
and the treaty that is being put for
ward is the policing OF Turkey by
the United States. One of the prin-
cipal agents of the administration
in Europe estimates that this will
require 100000 men. Expers in the
War department estimate that it
will require 10000 men.
1t is reported that the president
has already sent commission I'M
der General Harbord to Turkey to
investigate conditions. The arming,
equipment, drilling, training. main
tenance and transporting of 10000
men, or 100000 men, or $4,000 men,
to Turkey, and the establishment
and operation of this army in that
distant part of the world, for a suf-
fcient length of time to establish
and mainain permanent govern
ment in that country, and the pro-
lection of the constituent elements
of the former Turkish empire, will
cost not less than a billion dollars.
The operation of this army will re-
suit undoubtedly in the sacrifice Of
many Of its soldiers.

Who is to pay the billion or bill

Autos Used to Hasten
BUYERS to Texas Oil Fields

Fort Worth. Tex, Sept. 6.-That
the automobile is playing a heavy
role in developing the North Texas
oil fields is evidenced by the fact
that more than $4,000 in fares is
paid out daily by oil men and work
men for automobile rides to the
fields from various railroad towns
in this vicinity. A careful check has
revealed the fact that more than
5000 of this sum is spent by pas
scngers making trips to the Desde-
mona district alone.

TO TRY WHITES
TAKING PART IN
NEGRO LYNCH|NC
Texas Stirred by First Case
of Its Kind-BIack Accused
OF Criminal As
SauIt.

Dallas, Tex, Sept. 6,--Within the
next few weeks, probably during the
first Of October, two murder cases
WHICH are destined to attract nation
wide attention viii! be tried here.
These are the cases of A. B. Boyd
and Tracey Flanagan, indicted by
the Upper county grand jury in con-
nection with the lynching of Chiffon
Jennirgs;at Gilmore. on July "a, and
transferred here on the motion OF
District Judge Warren of that dis
trict to insure fair and impartial
trial. These are the first cases in
the south where white men have
been charged with murder in con-
,nection with a lynching where
negro was accused Of criminally as
saultEg white woman, and during
the trial. because OF the precedent
set, the judicial eyes of the nation
will be focused on Dallas.
Three Indicted.
Three other white men indicted at
the same time and for the same Of
tense have had their cases trans
ferred to Van Zandt county, but be-
cause OF the crowded condition of
the docket there it is not likely that
the trials will be reached before
spring.
Judge Warren admonished the
mob at Gilmer, which burned Jen-
nings to death in the court house
square, to permit the law to take its
course. Other leading citizens made
similar appeals. but of no avail:
Judge Warren, in charging the grand
Jury to return murder indictments
against those who caused the negro's
death, said: "We have no sympathy
for a black brute who criminally as
saults white woman. He deserves
the most severe punishment, but the
law should be permitted to take its
course. Men who take the law in
their own hands and take the life OF
a human being are guilty OF murder,
and it is your solemn duty to return
such indictments against them"
In transferring the cases to Dallas
the Judge said such action would in
sure complete justice for those &C
oused OF lynching the negro. He de-
clared the Dallas jury would know
nothing of the circumstances and
would be unbiased and unprecedented.
Boyd and Flanagan are now out on
$4,000 bond each.
Negro Not Identified.
The crime with which Jennings
was lyrched was a criminal assault
upon white woman near Gllmer
1t is alleged she was assaulted by a
negro while going along the road
near the village where she lived.
There is some doubt as to whether
she ever identified the negro. One
report, made after the lynching of
Jennings, says she did not identity
him. jennings protested his inno-
cence, but admitted that he was
working in the vicinity of the al
legged crime the day the offense was
supposed to have been committed.
The investigation of the grand jury
showed that less than score OF
men participated in the lynching and
that none of the prominent citizens
of Upsher county were involved in
it. The 1ynching took place shortly
after the race riots at Longview and
Tracey Flanagan resides at Long
view.
