look like most of the mills OF the city
and county will be affected but not all
of them will be, in my opinion" said
the best informed man In Gastonia In
talking 1t over with Views and Inter-
viws Friday afternoon. From all
have been able to learn, none OF the
Armstrong chain of mills here which
are under the control of Col. c. b.
Armstrong who controls your Lock-
more Cotton Mill in Yorkville. are
contemplating going on any strike a,
any time In the near future. Rela-
tions that are most cordial exist be-
tween Col. Armstrong and his en-
ployes and I don't believe they would
think of striking. He pays his en-
ployes wages that are as high In pro-
portion as the wages of mill workers
anywhere else in the, country. He
gives his employees almost anything In
the world that they want. He sees to
it that the houses In which they live
are most comfortable and up to date
and, he is interested himself In every
thing that they are interested in and
in fact, there Is such a spirit of -har-
mony and good feeling between his
workers and himself that don't be-
lieve there is ghost Of chance of
any trouble. In fact, he is a re-
markable man, Is this Col. Arm
strong"

81 guess the negro Joe Turner who
killed the two policemen in Green
VILE, and who got away from odicers
in Charlotte Is gone for good" COM
mented Sheriff Fred E. Quinn tho
other day. IF he has succeeded in
reaching Winston Salem, N. c.. 1t Is
q pretty safe bet that he Is gone for
good because it has been my expert
ence as an officer ranging over a con-
siderable number Of years, that II a.
negro wanted for crime ever gets to
Winston Salem, N. c., he is pretty
safe. They need negroes In their
business there and little. effort is made
to apprehend them for any crime. For
negro criminals of the south, Winston
Salem, is a sort of Mexico"

Squire" Robert Laban Abernethy
Smith, ma agistrate of Broad River
township and president of the Broad
River Township Improvement associa-
tion, Is just a little worried because he
fears that some of the makers of
moonshine are not aware of the fact
that the sentiment of the best people
of the county of York and the state
of South Carolina and the United
States is opposed to liquor. He is
preaching the doctrine all right ane
and so is the Improvement associa
tion; but he says the trouble is that
the people ne would reach don't 1ats1
tend the association meetings. II am
going to arrange for meeting OF the
association some Of these days" he
said. "and have 1t on Saturday after
noon right out in the middle of the
road in Hickory Grove. There will be
. d d. #
no reserved seats and everybody
whether he be moonshiner or moon
sinners friend or against 'em both
may pass along the street and listen
to the speakers. l believe can get
the message to some Of them that
way"
Doing Good Business.
Some folks in York county are do
ing pretty good business in second
hand Ford automobiles" observed a
York county automobile dealer yes
terday. They are buying up Fords
of 1916, II and Is models; giving 'em
a. coat of paint or bath. and selling
them right along for fancy prices. ]
