wish to see such war equipments.

The flotilIa is at New Orleans

navigated and advertisement
will be made by men on motor
cycles in addition to a destroyer
which will precede the flotilla.
A big band, baseball team, pro-
jacting machine for showing
navy engagements and flight by
the flying boats.
If the flotilla can get thru the
mouth of Grand River at Bruns-
wick, that will be the most de-
sirable point in the county from
which to witness the great dis.
play but if the water is too shall
low to allow the deep draught
boats to enter, the exhibition
may be given at the mouth of

be available for seeing the great
display.

Jordan Bentley

One of the most highly respect
ed and influential old settlers of
the county, Jordan Bentley, died
at his home near Forest Green
May 2. Since the age of 6 when
his parents moved to the neigh
borhocd where he lived all his
life, he has numbered among his
friends all who knew him either
socially or in business affairs and
his influence for good and pro-
gressiveness cannot Dor ever be
highly estimated.
Jordan Bentley was born in
Madison county Kentucky Mar.
8, 1926. He was married to Miss
Susan M. Frisco Nov. II, 1916,
and the union was blessed with
eight chiluren, S. j. and Mrs.
Lille LaMotte of Armstrong,
Thomas of Salisbury, Mrs. Lloyd
Herring of Forrest Green, VIM,
z. who resides on the homestead
and James, Mrs. Betty Herndon
and Mrs. Ida Garvin deceased.
Rev. Pearson conducted funer-
al services at Forrest Green Sun
lay May 4 in the presence of a
great number of friends of the
pioneer and most useful man
during his active years.
Jordan Bentley was one of the
type of gentleman of the old
school. Clean in all things and
courteous to every one at all
times, liberal and most hospit-
able, just and honorable, it could
only be that he would stand
among those of the country at
the apex of all lifes' affairs. 1t
was late in life that he united
with the Baptist church, but
from all his characteristics he
was a christian gentleman from
boyhood. Most deeply do we
deplore the putting out of such
guiding lights.

Farm Bureau Notes
By Sam Jordan
The Annual Bureau Meeting

The Annual Bureau Meeting
1t was thot best to postpone
the meeting until June 13-14th
on account of our delay in corn
planting.
We really think the most i'm
portant event of the meeting
will be the demonstration in
building the magnum terrace.
We now expect to do this from
1000 to 1900 o'clock on Satur-
day June IA.
This demonstration will be in
good season for doing the work
on farms as it is best done on
stubble land as that no crops
may be injured in doing the
work.
On pastures and meadow 1t Is
best done later after crops are
removed and when the grass is
short.
We will have homemade ap-
paratus on the ground that those
present may see how the tools
may be made for the work.
Watch for the days program.
1t will be worth while. Prepare
to attend.
Beekeepers meeting at Men
don first Saturday afternoon in
June. Rained US out last time.
The date will be June 9TH, at
l:30 p. m.

FLOODS SUBSID|NG
Millions Dollars Wheat Ruined
Grand River Victims Many
Charlton Rampages

Tho not so high as in 1909, the
water from the oYerflowed rivers
flowing into the Missouri have
done incalculable damage to
crops especially wheat and many
of the smaller streams have over
flowed bottom lands and con-
Nibuted a quota to the heavy
destruction. Much If the bottom
iand which was heavily dyked
has escaped and the wheat is
safe and fine, but the Grand
river and Charlton bottoms have
suffered entire loss of crop in
most Of the sections.
Had the Missouri river been
any where near bank full when
the rises came in the Grand and
Cnarlt0n rivers, the destruction
cannot now be conceived. Both
the Grand and Charlton rivers
are falling and the danger ap-
pears past unless heavy rains
north before the streams have
discharged the most of what
they still have on hand.

Rev. R. 7. Mathews preached
his farewell sermon at the Pres.

business disposition. His family
was most highly esteemed, the
literary and musical accomplish
ments of Mrs. Mathews and the
children being greatly appreciat-
ed and in demand for functions.
At their new home on a farm
near X City they will undoubted-
ly enjoy life more than when they
were subject to change of location
at frequent periods and that the
industriousness of all will result
in better returns we confidently
predict. We wish them the

MAY Be FATAL ACCIDENT
John G. Moore Thrown from Car
Unconscious Six Days
Little Hope

Saturday night John G. Moore
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. j.
Moore of this city one of the best
known young men of the CON-
munity was thrown from a motor
car at the railroad crossing west
of Bentley school house south
west of Salisbury and sustained
injuries to the back of his skull
which rendered him unconscious
in which state he has remained to
the time of going to press. Sur.
geons who examined the injuries
give little or no hope for his re.
covery and meningitis having
set up, the chances Of the young
man appear greatly les5ened.
John Moore was in Salisbury
and desiring t0 get home before
one of the night trains, phoneC
to DR.. Northcutt to come for him
DR.. Northcutt started and having
car trouble, was finally stopped
just west Of the railroad crossing
to make needed adjustments.

The Guilford car was travel.
ing at such high rate of speed
when DR.. Northcutt not.
iced it approaching the rail
road crossing that he abandon
ed his car which was on the
wrong side of the road, and ran
to the fence. The Guilford car
jumped the railroad and John
Moore was thrown partly out
but caught by the legs by Bill
Fox. Swerving to miss the
Northcutt car which was only a
few yards distant, the Guilford
car careened enough to break the
hold Fox had on Moore and the
young man was thrown violently
to the ground, DR.. Northcutt
did not know Moore had been
thrown out until he heard q
shout from the other car when
he saw what he thot to he a bun

He went to the object and

that he was seriously injured.

Steel Bridge Found

County Clerk Warner White,
sheriff Hurt, DR.. Brock, the eye
specialist and DR.. Northcutt the
unfailing veterinarian went fish
ing Thursday last week, equipp-
ed with legitimate tackle and
bait and travelling in Frank Ar,
rington Motor Boat,
The party were pursuing their
way up the Charlton in the
neighborhood of Eckles.P s.Perkins-
vile in search of the best point
to stop and employ the bait when
q drift hove in sight coming out
of the new ditch in the neigh
borhood. The fishermen sent
launch around point to avoid
the drift and as it passed rapidly
White noticed that something
stuck up above the drift which
had the appearance of a floating
bridge, Hurt scanned the drift
with his binoculars and express
ed the opinion that it was not
only a bridge but an iron or
steel structure. DR.. Brock con-
firmed the opinions but DR..
Northcutt, intent on 20 pound
buffalo-perch- cat, leather-carp or
plain fish of any kind combatted
the idea that anything iron, steel
or other metal could float along
as that object was proceeding.
He was overruled and the party
set out in the launch after the
drift and bridge. 1t was a bridge
alright, 60 ft. and nearly new
and a bigger catch than could
have been taken on any hook
and line. Around bends, thru
, bitches, under overhanging trees
in whirlpools, eddies and rapids
the bridge in the center of the
big drift was followed. Finally
a rope was made fast to it and
Hurt hoped to the bank and
made the other end of the rope
fast to a big sapling. When the
bridge came along the tree was
uprooted and snatched into the
river. The bridge was followed
until the site of the bridge across
the ditch between this city and
Salisbury was reached. There a
cable was found, filched and fast
ened to the floating bridge.
Northcutt and Hurt got from
the floater to the bank and in
the main Charlton below the
mouth of the ditch anchored the
big bridge to a tree with the
stout cable. They had hardly
got off the bridge and to the
bank when it began to act like a
porpoise, Hopping over, rolling
and pitching and bucking, the
result of changed conditions Of
the drift under it. Had Hurt
and Northcutt been on the bridge
when it bucked, grab hooks,
dynamite and divers would now
be busy.
4 Any one having a good bridge
lost, strayed or previously swip-
ed can identify this one, pay for
the long, arduous labor and loss
of fish and exemplary stipend
for advertising the flotsam after
securing it and more particularly
the fee for this double -barrellel

ON LAKE STEAMER
TURNS DOWN JIM CROW
SCHEME.

Cleveland, o., Sept. 3.-An American
may do it, but an Englishman refuses
to do it-discriminate because of color
on lake steamer. And it all hap
pened last week here in Cleveland
supposedly one of the most free cities
in the country.
Three teachers in our public schools
most estimable and cultured women,
applied for tickets for the excursion to
Duluth. When it was discovered that
they were colored, which was not ap-
parent to the boat official when they
procured their tickets. an attempt was
made to Illustrate their going.
The American steamship official
claimed that there was n duplication
in tickets, and as the boat would have
to pass into or through British waters
would object to colored people as pas
sengers.
One of the ladies Immediately went
to the English representative, who said
theitsswas nothing to it; that the Eng
lish government would offer no objec-
ton whatever to Colored passengers
on boats plying between Cleveland and
Duluth. or between any other ports.
An attorney, to whom the young
woman referred the case, called on the
American official of the steamship
line. and he camouflaged his intention
to frustrate the ladies sailing, with the
duplication of tickets. The attorney
then asked him if it were customary
for the company to issue "duplication."
This very much incensed the American
agent. Not being able, through the
duplication" excuse, or by getting the
British representative to acquiesce in
an attempt at race discrimination on
n lake boat sailing for Duluth, the
three school teachers finally got fixed
up, and sailed Friday night for Duluth.
