DAVID CLARK MAKES
STARTLING CHARGE
Charlotte Man Says Part of Strike
Fund Contributed by New
England Manufacturers

Charlotte, N. c., July 12.-Charges
that a portion of the fund used in
calling the strike Of textile employ
ees in Charlotte was contributed by
"a few New England cotton manu-
facturers with view to injuring their
Southern competitors" ," were made
today by David Clark, editor of the
Southern Textile Bulletin. In an ad-
dress before the Rotary club, Mr..
Clark said his statement was based
on the admission of one of the New
England manufacturers to reliable
party, =.
"Part of the fund used in calling
the present strike was contributed
by few New England cotton manu-
facturers wit ha view of injuring their
Southern competitor" said Mr.. Clark.
81 could not afford to make such
statement if I did not have abso--
lutte and positive proof based upon
the admission. of one of the New Eng
land manufacturers to a reliable par
ty that he made such contribution.
"Although the present strike is
limited to this section, the wage re-
ductions here have not been SO great
as those in other sections of the South
and Charlotte was selected because
of the encouragement that the agita-
tors have received and their belief
in the weakness of the knees of our
sheriff."

Death Of Mel Chalmers

Mr.. Melvin Boyd Chalmers died
suddenly on Tuesday afternoon at
about 5: 80 O'Clock at his home in jail
apa. He and Mrs. Chalmers were sit
ting on the porch talking, when she
noticed that he had ceased speaking
and remained quiet. She made closer
observation and saw his helpless con-
dition. He was carried into the house
and in a few moments was dead. Mr..
Chalmers had been in i'll health for
some weeks, suffering with heart
trouble. Just before his death he
had gone in the yard to ring the bell
calling the hands to work after the
rain of that afternoon and was try
ing to adjust the bell rope when Mrs.
Chalmers asked him to not bother
with it but to come in. He did as his
wife had requested and it was not
long after that she discovered her hus-
band in his dying condition.
The burial took place on Wednes-
day, afternoon at 5 o'clock in Rose
mont cemetery, service at the grave
by DR.. j. W. Carson, the following
acting as pallbearers: P. Duncan
Johnson, Wilbur E. Epps, R. M. Lom-
mack, W. w. Riser, Jr., Jno. l. H.
Aul1 and J. Ben Wessinger. DR.. C.
A. Freed assisted in the service.
Mr.. Chalmers was 62 years old. He
was the son of the late Thos. A. w.
and M. B. Chalmers of this county
and was from a large family with
large family connections of Associate
Reformed Presbyterians, better
known in their day and generation as
Seceders, all prominent in their strict
ly pious denomination and as citizens
of their communities. "Mel" Chal-
mers, as he was familiarly called by
nearly everybody, old and young,
who knew him, was we'll known in the
city and county. He was deputy
sheriff under Sheriff Wallace w. Riser
and made brave officer, determined,
fearless and impartial in the dis
charge of his duties. He also held
the position of city health officer at
one time, and the public knows how
faithful and conscientious he was at
that work. Mel Chalmers was quick
to act and he was man who meant
what he said He possessed the Chal-
mers spirit,
Mr.. Chalmers married Miss Mary
Mayes, daughter of the late w. G.
and Nancy Mayes. She survives him
with three children: Wallace, Mary
and Helen. He also leaves a sister
Miss jamie Chalmers, and other rela,
tives to mourn his loss.

ROTARiANS DINE

J 3 o O O o 8 @ 8 o o 8 @ o q o o o
The "unlucky thirteenth was en-
joyed by the Newberry Rotarians and
a very appetizing luncheon was
was served them at the Newberry ho-
tel.
The members were in anything but
an unlucky mood and after hearing
a splendid talk by James kinard on
"Thirteen' it was unanimously the
opinion that this number is anything
else but unlucky and from this time
on the Rotarians will look forward to
meetings which happen to fall on the
thirteenth.
Sid Derrick made talk on his
classification, college President and
stressed the importance of building
characters between the ages of II and
81 and showed where the college pres
ident had a very important part in
the shaping of students futures. Sid
Derrick is at home talking on any
subject but the one assigned him
for this meeting was close to his heart
and he spoke feelingly of the great
work which college president could
do.
Foster Martin, chairman of the
Boys Work Committee made a re-
port and told of the initial steps which
had been taken by his committee in
making possible the Boy Scout move
ment in Newberry. He said that the
boys should be prepared to become
useful hitizens and taught the finer
things in life and that no, better work
could be fostered by the Rotary club
than this great Boy Scout movement.
After his talk Haskell Kibler made
a motion that hte Rotary club back
up the Boys Work Committee in this
work and that the Kiwanis Club,
American Legion and Woman's Aux
iliary as we'll as the other clubs of
the city be invited to lend hand in
this work. His motion was unani-
mously passed and so the Rotary Club
of Newberry goes on'record as being
behind the Boy Scouts.
Hal Kohn made a motion that the
faculty of the Summer School of
Newberry College be- the guests of
the Club at it's nexti meeting. Sid
Derrick and James Kinard of the
faculty as we'll as, Geo. Cromer voted
in favor of this motion even before
a second was heard. After quiet
was restored the president put the
motion and it passed.
An interesting feature of meeting
was the drawing of the number 13,
which fell to Bob Mayes, who was
rewarded with a loose leaf pocket
memorandum.
Guests of the club were Prof. Noise
of the faculty of the Summer School
and Rotarian w. A. Sanders of the
Anderson Club.
Meeting was adjourned after many
efforts to have John Kinard and Geo.
Summer sing a duet failed.

FOUR COLUMBIANS
CLEARED BY JURY
ACOUITTAL VERDICT GIVEN IN
CAMDEN
Defendants Remanded to Jail on
Charge Of HOUSEKEEPING
and Larceny
The State.

1lle StdLS.
Camden, July 1S-A Kershaw coun-
ty jury at 7:15 o'clock this afternoon
returned verdict of not guilty in
the case of the state against four Co.
lumbians, charged with blowing the
safe of the Bank of Lugoff and steal
ing $24O. The defendants were i'm
mediately remanded to Jail pending
trial on the charge of house breaking
and larceny in connection with the
same offense. The second Indictment
relates to the charge of breaking into
the store connected with the bank.
Motion for bail was made and Judge
Townsend will hear the argument
during the term of court this week.
The defendants are William Brawley,
Alex Cartledge, Lloyd Lorick and
Dewey Dennis, all young white men
of the state.
The jury retired shortly after
o'clock this afternoon after Judge
Townsend had refused motion for
direction of verdict for the defend
ants.
At 80 the jury sent word to Judge
Townsend that they desired to COM
niun'i:ate with him and the fore
man Informed the court that they
were hopelessly divided. Judge
Townsend charged the jury upon the
Importance of an agreement, if it
could be conscientiously arrived at.
The jury stated that their difficulty
was a question of fact and under the
instructions of the court certain por-
tors of the testimony were read to
them by the court stenographer, John
X. Aull, after which the jury again
retired. s.s.-s,s..
The state closed its testimony
shortly after II o'clock this morn
ing, and the defense announced that
it had no testimony to offer. The de-
Tense relied upon it's contention that
the testimony Of George Gum OF
Pennsylvania, who claimed that the
defendants were with him at the
time of the robbery, was unworthy OF
belief, and that his testimony was
not corroborated.
The state placed on the stand this
morning number of witnesses II, an
effort to corroborate Gum in matters
to which he had testified, not with
regard to the actual robbery itself,
but as to the details which he related
of incidents before and after the rob-
berry. Chief of Police Richardson and
Chief of Detectives Strickland and
others from Columbia testified as to
having seen him in company with GER
tain of the defendants in Columbia
at the times stated by him. Other
witnesses from Camden and in and
around Lugof testified that Gum
had related the details of the rob-
berry before he was carried to Lugoff
by Postofice Inspector Gregory, and
that when they reached Lugof the
physical evidences of the breaking
were just as he had described them.
C. T. Graydon of Columbia open
ed the argument for the defendants,
and was followed by Solicitor Spig-
ner for the state. M. M. johnson
and G. G. Alexander for the defend
ants, for Judge NJ. L. Smith for the
state, Cole L. Blease for the defend
ants, who closed the argument.
The testimony and the arguments
were heard by an audience which
packed the court house, numbers of
people having to stand during the
proceedings.
