NON-PERIsHABLE FREIGHT

The embargo which went into ef
feet yesterday afternoon at three
O'clock will seriously affect the in
dustries of this City and the entire
country. if allowed to remain at any
great length of time. The railroads
are not accepting any solid cars out
bound for anything except perish
able goods and 1--we stock. Heavy
and slow moving non-perishable
freight will move very slowly in
bound. even that on the way at
the time the embargo went into
craftsmen which is depicting the
rolling stock of the Companies and
the car inspectors strike which
of course interferes with the rapid
moving of freight.
interviewing our local freight
men of the Atlantic Coast Line to-
day they inform us that up to
nine o'clock this morning that road
had received only cne car from the
North since twerve o'clock last
might when it should have received
at least fifteen.
AS to how long the embargo
will last cannot be determined
1t will depend of course on the
length of the strike, which unless
settled threatens to tie up every road
in the country
Come to the meeting tonight and

and thus help the Government in it's
efforts to remedy conditions so
the laboring man and the average
citizen can live. It depends upon
your individual efforts as a citizen

100000 CARS
NOT RUNNING
Because They Are Not Kept Up
AS Result of the
Strike. Unions
CAN'T CONTROL THE MEN

Washington, Aug. 6-With con-
tinued reports of striking shopmen
in all parts of the country, and a re-
fusal on their part of listen to the Of
ficials of their unions that they
should wait for vote before strik-

to spread and bids fair to eventually
bring about a complete curtailment
of train service and a consequent
paralysis of the industries and bus
iness Of the country.

gaging the entire attention of Con-
gress and the administration, and the

cry day. when it is understood that

and the rolling stock of the railroads.
which must be looked after con-
stantly, is falling out Of commission
on account of lack of help to keep it
in shape. The situation, if it con-
tinues long, will necessitate the clos
ing down of all kinds of factories in
cluding those producing foodstuffs
for the country.

STORM . DAMAGES 81
I WAKE COUNTY BRIDGES

Raleigh, N. C., Aug. s.-F1fty-four
wooden bridges were either entirely
DESTROYED or materially damaged in
Wake County during the general
rain storm OF two weeks ago. Not
single steel bridge, however, was
damaged beyond the loss of several
wooden approaches.
The damage to roads was also
great and practically every gravel
and unbuilt road will need some
form of repair. The gravel roads
were badly washed and the damage
equals about one years wear, but
they can be quickly smoothed again
and put into good condition. The
clay or unbuilt roads were literally
washed away. Those recently repair
ed are now in worse condition than
those which have not been touched.

LABOR LEADER LEAVES
 ESTATE OF $25Q,00O

White Plains, N. Y. Dec. 6-To all
 but few of the thousands of workers who knew John Mitchell the recent an- nouncement that the great labor lead CT was comparatively wealthy at the time of his death came as a great sur- prise. When his estate was probated here, it was discovered that he left approximately $25O,0O0. His fortune was solely the result of thrift and wise investment and bears witness to the opportunities and possibilities which America presents to poor worker.
 John Mitchell began as a breaker boy in a Pennsylvania colliery. He received no tremendous salaries dur ing his life time, not even when he had attained international reputation. His honesty was never called in ques- tion. Both the workers he represen- ted and the mine owners knew that he was not to be bought. Yet he died rich for he always lived modestly and within his income, he always saved a part of what he earned and invested it wisely. His estate is an example of what every poor boy who comes to America can accomplish in greater or less degree by thrift, saving and safe investment in such securities as War Savings Stamps, Treasury Certificates and Liberty Bonds.

GREAT SODA LAKE
 BRITISH w. AFRICA

At Magadi, British West Africa, a lake of soda has been found that con- tains an almost limitless amount of this material. The lake, which is large, appears to be frozen mass, and the operators secure it by cutting it into blocks, similar to the manner in which ice is obtained on the rivers of the north. When crop has been harvested the water brings another mass of the material to the surface, where it evaporates and leaves its big crust of the pure material. It is said to be one of the greatest deposits of soda in the world, when its purity is taken into consideration.

ARIZONA DAY
 THURSDAY CLUB

Last Thursday was Arizona day at the Thursday Afternoon Club. Mrs. c. A. Warren read a paper on the Early History and Inhabitants of Ari- zona. She said Although Arizona is the baby State, it is interesting to
 know that the Spaniards had been in Arizona 70 years before the English sailed up Chesapeake Bay to found Jamestown, the first English settle ment, and so years before the Pilgrims set foot upon Plymouth Rock, Coro- nado came to Arizona. For perhaps a thousand years previous to this time Arizona had been inhabited by var ious tribes of Indians. Coronado found Indians who had lived in we'll ordered cities for centuries. There is also evidence that before this region was known to white man it was inhab- tied by a large and superior race. There was an Aztec and Toltec period during the first thousand years, and the Moqui villages and Mexican Pueb- los antedated the coming of the Jes- uit Missionaries and the Franciscan Monks. Evidence of these prehistoric Indian races aer left in such ruins as the Casa Grande or Great House" in South Western Arizona. The first settlements were along the Santa Cruz, Rio Grande, and Salt Rivers. Evidence exists that these early tribes were acquainted with irrigation.
 The name Arizona may have come from two spanish words, "Arida," and ."Zona," meaning a dry tract.
 Mrs. Thomas Devine had paper on "The Men and Women who have made Arizona" She mentioned Lieut.. Beale who in 1857 was the first to survey and break trails through Ari-, zona from New Mexico to the Pacific Coast that are still available for trans portation. One of them the old road over the River Range to Oatman. Later he was sent from Fort Smith, Arkansas to build wagon road which again led him through the county.
 Charles D. Poston called the "Fath- or of Arizona" was another pioneer from Kentucky, who with specimens of Arizona's mineral wealth enlisted capital to develop this wealth. He also was active in the work leading to the organization of the new Terri tory in 1863, and was first delegate to Congress from this territory. Gov. Mccormick was another active pio- neer. Ed Schieffelin, a prospector, who on starting off one day "to look for some stone," was told that he would find his tombstone among the Apaches. Finding some rich silver
