ISSUES STATEMENT
McNINCH1 THINKS ATTEMPT TO
PUT CITY IN DARKNESS AND
WITHOUT GAS OUTRAGE.
II Necessary Will Commander Plants
and Operate Them During Emer-
gency Under Police Protection.

Charlotte.-Mayor F. R. McNinch is
very much exercised over the recent
attempt of operatives or others to
shut down the electric and gas plants
of the city, and has issued the follow
ing statement:
''The attempt to put this city in
darkness and without gas is an out
rage against an innocent and helpless
public that can not be countenanced,
and we propose to protect that public
against such high-handed invasion Of
it's rights by every means at our COM
mand. If any men or set of men chal-
lenge the forces of law and order, let
them take notice that they do so at
their personal peril.
"The public is assured that we will
exert every power to the limit to pro-
tect the light and gas supply, as we
realize how vital they are to the life
of the community. II it can not be
done otherwise, I will commander
these plants and operate them during
the emergency under police protec-
tion-or military protection, if neces-
sary." F. r. McNINCH,
Mayor.

Turned to this city after a tour OF a
dozen of the largest cities in the state
in the interest of the South Atlantic
Exort corporation, which aims at the
upbuilding and development Of the

enthusiastic reception of the scheme
everywhere. He was greatly impress
ed by evidences everywhere of prog
ress and prosperity.
At Charlotte he was amazed to find
a $5O,OOO,O00 automobile distribution
business; at Winston-Salem he was
told that local institutions absorbed a
$15,0OO,00O bond issue, and he found
conditions in Greensboro, High Point,
Gastonia, Raleigh and elsewhere that
opened his sophisticated eyes to the
marvellous development being made in
all lines throughout the state.

and, turning the handle nOiselessly
found myself inside the chateau. And
at once my ears were filled with yells
and coarse laughter in mems and
women's voices.
AS my eyes became accustomed to
my surroundings 1 perceived that
was standing near the foot Of an I'M
carpeted wooden stairway. There was
a dark room with an open door imme-
diately in front of me, and another at
the farther end of the passage, from
beneath which q glimmer of light Is
sued, and it was from this room that
the sounds of laughter and music
came.
I turned to the left, and advancing
suddenly found myself face to face
with Philippe Lacroix.
He was seated at a table in room

glanced at my watch. It seemed
that had been travelling for an inter
minable time, but it was barely eleven
o'clock. I felt drowsy, and somehow,
before I was aware of any fatigue,
was asleep.
1t was three o'clock when I awoks
and at first, as always since my jour
ney began, could not remember
where was. And, as always, it wap
the thought of Jacqueline that recallef
me to my surroundings.
1 sprang to my feet and made hastr
preparations to resume my journey.
In the first cave that 1 explored
found a stock of provisions-f1our and
canned meats and matches-snugly
stored away safe from the damp and
snow. Near by were picks and SHOW
els and three very reputable blankets

than was, but my thoughts were an

ing of the light showed me that tho
sun must be we'll down in the sky.
I must go on at once If I were to
reach the chateau that night.
AS proceeded kept looking to the
left to endeavor to locate the narrow
passage into which had strayed, but
it must have been the merest opening
in the wall, so small that only a mir
acle Of chance had led me into it, for
I saw nothing but the straight passage
before me.
Presently began to hear a murmuf
of water in the distance and then
faint flicker Of light.
The thunder of the cataracts filled
my ears. A fine spray, like garment
Of filmy silk, obscured my clearer
vision but through and beyond it, be-
tween two torrents that sailed above
like crystal bows, saw the chateau
before me.

This was to be my last night in the

I started out with grim resolution on
the sixth morning, when the dawn was
only a red streak on the horizon and
the stars still lit my way.
AS I stood, rather weary, balancing
myself upon my snoWshoes, heard
VOLTS howl quite near to me. Raising
my head saw no wolf but an Eskimo
dog-the very dog I had encountered
in New York-Jacqueltne's dog!

at which the school board appeared
with a request for 100000 with which
to build a new school building to take

At this time the commissioners ap-

these mountains, circuit Of perhaps
twenty miles, approaching the chateau
by the edge of the lake. I concluded
that there must exist a ridge of mar
row beach between the whirlpool and
the castle, though it was invisible
from above, and that the entrance
would disclose itself to me in the
course Of my journey.
Although the sun was well above
the horizon when I awoke I started
out on the fourth morning eager to
achieve the entrance to the chateau.
First I plodded back to the two
mountains which guarded the ap-
proach to the valley, then worked
round along the flank of the ridge of
peaks, searching for an entrance. The
further I went, however, the higher
and more precipitous became the
mountains.
There was no visible entrance to
that mountain lake on any side, and
to descend that sheer, ice-cOated preci-
pice was an impossibility.

reached the cabin again, exhausted
