AID FOR DISABLED MEN
Government Officials Will Tour South
Carolina.


Major G. Hayward Mahon, Jr., state
commander of the American legion.
who with Fred w. Graham, service Of
ficer of the local post of the American
Legion, attended meeting Of the dis
trict heads of the War Risk Insurance
Bureau, The United States Public
Health Service and the Federal Board
of Vocational Training in Atlanta, ex-
planned the plans adopted for the
cleanup campaign, says the Greenvilie
Piedmont.
"a cleanup squad" will come to
South Carolina on August 10 ana
starting at Greenville on that day, Will
work every county and almost every
town in the state, ending their tour at
Spartanburg, on November II. The
squad will include five men, a doctor
from the Public Health Service, COM
pensation expert from the bureau,
representative Of the Federal Board Oh
Vocational Training, a representative
of the American. Legion and the RED
Cross. They will go out with instruc-
tions to settle every calm of a dis
abled eX-service man or woman. The
doctor will make the examination on
the spot, and If a man needs hospitali-
zation, he will be furnished with trans
portation to the hospital and authority
to enter. His compensation claim will
be settled forth with, and If he is en-
titled to compensation his papers viii
be sent to Washington complete, so
that check will be received ina few
days. If the man in question needs vo-
cational training rather than hospital
treatment the Federal Board man will
fix him up on the spot. His family and
dependents will be taken care of by
the Red Cross and the American Le-
gion If this Is necessary.
Every effort will be made to reach
every eX-service man in the state who
is in need of help from the govern
ment and according to Col. Forbes Or
ders, in cases in which there is any
doubt the disabled man will be given
the benefit of the doubt and will be
given hospital treatment pending the
settlement of the claim, if it is i'm
possible to settle the claim on the spot
Travelling week ahead of the clean
up squad there will be an experienced
publicity man, who will see that every
person in the county knows when the
squad will be in that county and where
they will be. He will use the tele-
phone, newspapers and other methods
to reach the Ren.
According to Major Mahon, the cam
paign is the most business like ana
thorough ever undertaken by the bu-
reau, and gives every promise OF rem
dering invaluable service to the men
of South Carolina who went to the
war.

into the south. We are called Boil
sheviks, radicals, anarchists and ev-
erXthing. But we realize more and
more every day that we must learn to
stand the gaff and stick to our guns.
I'VE have made mistakes and may
make other mistakes. We may be-
become confused and pull bonehead
plays. We are all agreed on the prop
osition that the thing for us to do is to
hold on to our labor cards like a
drowning man holds on to a straw or
like a kingsnake holds on to a rat
tier after he has coiled his body
around the poisonous snake.
THE history of the world from its
creation shows that man is the nat
ural enemy to man. We know that
we have got to stand firm and be
brave and steadfast in order to get
any sort of a chance against the pow
er of Mammon which regards us as
so many chattels.
Propose to Stick.
1--WE people who work in the textile
plants of the South are human beings
with hearts and minds and souls. We
have pride and self respect. We want
our children educated. We want them
to have a chance to compete in the
world with the children of other work.
ers The powers keep them down as
was the case in the days Of old before
the Magma Charter was wrung from
King John of England and his gang,
who were no worse than the Powers
of today.
I'VE may lose this fight. But we
shall fight again. Textile Unionism Is
in the south to stay. 1t is in Rock
Hill to stay.
Again l ask you, please don't men,
ton my name in any interview you
might write For the powers here
would bring all pressure to bear to
make it even harder for me and my
little family"

Associated Press dispatches Of last
week told of the tragic outcome of the
efforts of w. f. Stone, president of
Purdue University at Lafayette, In
diana to scale Mount canon, in AL
berta, Dominion of Canada. Mr.. stone
was accompanied by his wife and their
ambition was to be first to get to the
top of Mount canon, which had not
previously been climbed. After some
days of perilous climbing the two got
within minutes of the top of the
mountain Suddenly, without warning,
Mr.. Stone lost his hold and fell. Mrs.
Stone was slightly below. When she
saw her husband shoot downward sew
eral thousand feet, she started to
descend by means OF long rope.
When she came to the end of the rope
she found herself dangling in the air.
She held on as long as she could and
then had TO let loose, expecting to go
on down to certain death. She lodged
on q narrow ledge within ten feet.
When searchers found her ten days
later she was barely alive; but has
since been nurSed back TO comparative
safety. Mr.. Stone fell about 5000 feet.
Mrs. Stone saw his body strike on the
side of a cliff and bound from side 10
side. When rescued she was nearly
1000 feet below the point from when
her husband fell.

in pellagra in this county. You know
there is a whole lot Of monkey busl-

don't know anything much about it. In

there is any such thing or not. We say
that lots Of the folks whom we commit

years ago you remember, some of u

too much corn bread That theory be-

eIy mother wGS 50 afraid that she
would give her family pellagra, that
corn bread disappeared from many ta-

the theory that corn bread is one of the
most wholesome breads known.

A beautiful town is Shelby, lying
close to the foothills of the mountains.
1t is larger than Yorkvlle. having n
population of about 5000. Yet it re-
minds one of Yorkville very much be-
cause of the beautiful trees which line
the curb of almost every street. They
are tall and stately trees that afford
much comfortable shade and Shelby
citizens like Yorkville the most OF
them) would consider it an unpardon-
able crime to cut those trees down.
The town is on the Marion & King
vile division of the Southern Rail-
road and Seaboard Air Line railroad.
1t has five large cotton mills, large
roller mill. several nice hotels, hand
some churches, handsome homes sur
rounded by beautiful lawns. 1t Is

Bordering on York.

Touching portions of three counties
York. Cherokee and Cleveland on a
flying trip in a f1ivver to Shelby, N,
c., one has opportunity to see a Won
derful crop prospect and gets the idea
that Cleveland has 1t on both western
York and eastern Cherokee for an out
lCok. That does not detract from the
fine prospect ahead of the farmers In
York and Cherokee, however because
many farmers say that 1t is the best
known in years and the crop is there
to show for itself. But up in Cleve-
land county when one gets in the vi
cinity of Grover and from thence on
to Shelby a distance Of eleven miles,
the cotton looks larger and seems to
have a better color There Is need of
rain, however, and If 1t doesn't come
pretty soon there is a strong probabi-
lity that the prospect at the end Of a
couple Of weeks won't look so bright
There is much nne corn in the vi
cinity of Patterson Springs, small VIII
lage about four miles east of Shelby
In fact there is much corn between
Grover and Shelby along with cotton
Cleveland county farmers have always
practiced the "Raise Your Own Food
stuffs" doctrine, and it seems that
they are trying to outdo themselves
this year. Well informed Cleveland
county farmers will tell you that the
corn acreage has been increased this
year. But there has been little II any
reduction in cotton acreage although
the use of fertilizer has been cut In
twain. Between Shelby and Kings
Mountain, q distance Of fourteen
miles, it Is almost all cotton, although
1t may be that the farmers living
along the way have their corn planted
away off the national highway.

In Cleveland county as in York
county there are number or towns
There is Kings Mountain, which, by
the way is getting to be almost as
large as Shelby. There Is Patterson
Springs and Earls and Fallston and
Boiling Springs and Casar and other
small towns and villages. Casar Is
located in the foothills of the South
Mountains and it is in that vicinity
that a lot of North Carolinians and
good many South Carolinians get IN
trouble from time to time on account
of fiirtations with booze. Up in the
South Mountains just beyond this lit
tie village of Casar it is said that lots
of moonshine liquor is made. Folks
up that way, it is said, Relieve that
they have a sort of divine right TO
make liquor Revenue Officers as
rule don't hang out in those South
Mountains a great deal because they
have learned from past experience
that it isn't exactly healthy. So they
content themselves with hanging
around Casar and nabbing cars from
North Carolina and from South Car
olina as they start out of there with
the contraband. DR.. II. d. Wilson,
prominent citizen of Shelby told the
reporter an interesting story the other
day - how Casar got its name. 1t
seems that when the citizens of the
community decided to start a town
there they agreed that it should be
called Gear" in honor of the Car Of
Russia who was living and doing well
then. So the postmaster was directed
to inform the postoffice department
that the new town was to be called
Gear" But the postmaster wasn't
very good speller. Gear" wasn't
very familiar name to him and he got
it wrong, spelling it "Casar." And it
has been "Casar" ever since.

ers
over these sacred mounds of ours,
Lily and rose n laurel spread
over the graves of those long dead,
Dead on the Field of Honor.
BY each headstone the old Flag waves,
But know ye not these are empty
graves?
Each man rose from the dust to fight
In the latest struggle of Right and
Might,
To fight on the Field of Honor.
Forth in shadowy ranks they thronged
To answer the call of a people
wronged,
Washington, Lincoln, Grant and Sher-

Ay, and many a loyal German,
Rosecrans, Schurz and doughty SigeI
Who bore our Stars and Stripes and

With our first troopship cross the seal
These are the great Reserves who
stand
Today at the back Of our fighting band.

Flowers on the graves Of our newly

graves,
weep for our dead across the waves
On the rcd Field of Honor!

The first national cemetery was es-
tablished at Gettysburg to make an
honored resting place for those who
on that great battlefield gave their
lives that the nation might live, and
then came the inspiration to make at
Arlington a cemetery that would be
national in it's widest sense. To pro-
vide this final resting place for the ma
TONS dead, the government paid to the
heirs Of Gen. Robert E. Lees wife,
$150,00O for property which had been
assessed in 1860 at $4,000.
The Arlington National cemetery
embraces 418 acres and since its es-
tablishment the government has spared
no expense to make it the most beau
tiful and attractive city Of the dead

landscape engineering to enhance the
natural beauty of the spot.

Reminder To Stockmen
Helena, May 21.-Unless stock
men take more interest in having
their brands r~e-recorded than they
have manifested so far this year,
thousands of them in Montana will
lose title to them, and it is likely that
they may have trouble in proving
ownership to stock shipped to east
ern markets next year.
The legislature this past winter
passed a law requiring the r%e-record-
ing of all brands, recorded prior to
January /, 1921, before January 1,
1922. The re-recording fee is 25
cents. Postage stamps will not be &C
cepted.
Compared with the total number Of
brands or the books, but few have
been re-recorded. Certificates, or a
careful description of the brand with
the 25 cent fee should be sent at
to the State Livestock Commits
sion, Helena, Montana. In re-record-
M change can be made in name
of owner or description of brand
