THE EASIEST WAY.

We do not motor car,
Nor are we apt TO own one soon,
But still we often journey far
With friends equipped with such boon
Which probably is just as well
As II we had a limousine,
For though we travel quite spell,
We do not purchase gasoline.
And when the carbure,or stalls,
Or safety valves get cut OF gear,
We don no greasy oyerallS
And get no carbon IN our car.
The punctured tire doesn't mean
That must pump and sweat and swear,
And II the engine strains ITS spleen,
II doesn't drive us TO despair.
And so we hand vote Of thanks
To friends who motor US around
Enduring all the grief and pranks
With which the motor cars abound.

GREENVJLLE

Greenville, August 26.-(Special)
The revival services which have been
in progress at the Presbyterian church
closed last night when Chaplain Lacy
delivered a powerful sermon to a large
congregation. During the series of
meetings that have lasted for 10 days
the church and city have been greatly
benefited through the efforts of this
earnest minister and the singing OF
Mr. Simpson of Andalusia. The church
has been greatly revived and a number
of additions made, and a movement is
started for the calling of pastor for
the church.
Miss Bette Brazzel, aged 80, died at
her home in South Butler after an ill
ness of long duration. The deceased
was one of the oldest women in the
county and has spent a useful life,
much of her time being devoted to re-
ligious activities. 1t was largely
through her efforts that the Mt Olive
East Baptist church has accomplished
so much good. The home of the de-
ceased was on popular cross-road,
and the latch string of hospitality has
always hung from this home. She is
survived by two sisters, Misses Sarah
and Matte Brazzel.
A large number of friends and rela-
tives attended the funeral to pay their
last respects to woman greatly be-
loved by all in the community, when
the funeral was held Friday at Mt.
Olive church. The services were con-
dncted by ]. L. p. Cook.
Reports come in from all sections of
Butler county to the effect that the
cotton has been greatly damaged dur
ing the last few days due to the con-
tinued heavy rainfall. This fact is Civ
ing the farmers much and grave con-
Germ. and none of them hope to- raise
as much cotton as last year, which
will be less than 5000 bales for the
county. The activity of the boil weevil
has been greatly marked during the
last few days. and the wet weather
has caused the already open bolls to
decay and the rain has beaten much
OF the cotton from the stalk to the
ground.

night were patients at hospitals tonight,
with three of them perhaps fatally
wounded. The death of one, Will Ham
mond. shot through the spine. was ex-
pected momentarily.
The high tension which prevailed
throughout the day influenced Mayor
McNinch to withhold permission for an
attempt to resume street car service.
though officials of the Southern Public
Utilities company. on whose lines strike
is in progress. announced their willing
ness to start the cars with strikebreakers
when city officials would permit.
Several civic and other organizations

the Charlotte Automotive Trades associA-
ton declared that resumption of the car
service was essential to that end.

RAILROADS HELD
RESPONSIBLE
COAL SITUATION
President of National Coal
Association Says Miners
Working for Govern
ment Ownership
BY Associated Press

Washington, August 26-Entering or
the investigation of the increased price
of coal, a Senate interstate commerce
subcommittee today brought forth tes-
timony that shortage of cars and labor
difficulties were hindering coal produc-
tien, that certain elements in the miners
union were intent on naturalization OF
the coal mines with the adoption of a
slx-hour day and a five-day week plus
wage increase and that unless prob
lens of production were solved the coun-
try would be brought face to face with
a coal famine in the coming winter.
So emphatic were the witnesses that
the railroads were at the bottom of the
present low production that Senator Frel-
inghuysen, chairman of the committee,
indicated the committees intention of
bringing Director General of Railroads
Hines into the hearing.
After detailing the effects of labor diff
ficulties and alleged car shortage on coal
production. Harry N. Taylor, president
of the National Coal association, an or
ganization of operators, declared a bill
had been prepared for submission to Con-
gress providing for the NATURALIZATION
of the mines. He added that what the
miners wanted was not only that the
government should own the properties
TO them for operation. He insisted that
the more radical of the miners appeared
to be gaining control in certain districts
and that there was a serious danger that
these elements would make an earnest
effort for the institution of something
approaching soviet methods" in conduct
ing the properties.
Fear was expressed by Mr.. Taylor
that at the miners convention September
8. in Cleveland, and at the joint con-
ference of miners and operators in Buff
falo, September %. action might be taken
to further endanger production. He told
the committee that the strikes in H.
linois, Kansas and Missouri were in vio-
lation of the Washington agreement,
which provided for the continuous oper-
alton of the mines until peace definitely
is established. The conduct of the strikes
in the middle west, he said, were in
many cases influenced by radical ele-
ments. He said it was known generally
in the industry that an attempt would
be made at the Cleveland meeting to put
through a naturalization programme
with x-hour day, a five-day week and
an increase in wages.
The possible conversion OF the commit
tees hearing into an investigation Of
the efficiency of the railroad administra-
ton was indicated during the testimony
of John Callahan, traffic director of
the coal association. Both Mr.. Callahan
and J. D. Morrow, vice president of the
association, had supplemented the state
ments of Mr.. Taylor that a car shortage
was the most important single factor de-
laying delivery. Senator F'relinghuysen
asked Mr.. Callahan if he would obtain
for him certain specific information re-
garding idle cars and other features of
operation, adding that he wanted that
information in order to question Director
General Hines.
