Surprise at Union.
CRADLES departure for Washington was
surprise to his associates In the
union ranks, 1t is said. They profess
not to know whether he was invited to
come by the President or is going on his
own initiative. j. c. Smock, assistant to
Grand President Cradle, announced to-
day that the Big Four Railroad at In
dianapolis had discontinued asking main
tenance of way carpenters to work on
way cars for section hands. Mr.. Smock
brought this to the attention Of certain
members OF the Railroad Labor Board
yesterday and acting as individuals they
got into touch with officials of the road.

points, while State troops were still ON

The Baltimore and Ohio filed a Pc
tition for an Injunction against the
strikers at Indianapolis. while many
other roads throughout the country al
ready held similar writs. The Big Four

The bill states that the defendants are
federated In what H. known as the Fed
Grated Shop Crafts" and sets out that
the national agreements" entered into
by the Director General Of Railroads
during Federal control and the federated
shop crafts resulted in increased wages
for the employees. 1t is declared that the

Associations Also V0lun-
teer Strike Services.

Leaders of the railway shopmen's
strike in New York regarded the order
calling out the stationary firemen. en-
yesterday by Timothy Healy. interna-
tional head of the union, as a portent
of similar action by 100000 mainte-
nance of way men. They say that is all
that is required to bring the railroad
executives to their knees.
The number of men affected by the
Healy order. which becomes effective
at s o'clock Monday morning. is esti-
mated at from $1,000 to $4,000. In the
New York district there are approx
mately 2,10o The majority Of these
men are already out and arrange
ments have been made to fill their
places, so that the actual call does not
of itself alter the situation materially.
The shopmen say the influences that
compelled Healy to sanction the strike
in his union are at work upon Edward
F. Cradle, head of the maintenance of
way men. They assert that a good pro-
portion Of the maintenance Of way men
are out now and that the rest want to
follow David Williams, secretary OF
the local strike committee. said last,
night that Informal walkouts will sweep
the SOC, 900 way men into formal strike
just as surely as the walkouts among
the firemen resulted In Healys order"
"The pressure on President Cradle
has almost reached the breaking point"
he added.
Menace to Power Houses.
The result Of the Healy order will be
to take out the five or six hundred key
men still on their jobs. The effect will
be to menace the power houses where the
stationary firemen and engineers are
employed and to cripple the yards where
switches are operated by compressed air
and electricity generated In the power
houses. In the New York district THE

CIRCUS ELEPHANT
CAUSE OF TROUBLE.

Wilmington, N. c., Oct 13.-
"Topsy', the big circus elephant
who has been through back yards
and swamps, a dye house and one
negro cabin since she escaped here,
early Tuesday morning, is back in
captivity, securely chained to strong
stakes. There she is going to stay
while, her trainer said for her
nerves were on edge"
Topsy, who broke loose after
Monday nights performance when
she was being loaded into her car,
managed to bog up in Greenfield
lake, got away again late Tuesday
night. She was caught again near
Cedar Point, according to word sent
here by three weary circus men.
The big elephant had swum Cape
Fear River and had wandered around
in Cape Fear and Brunswick swamps
where alligators and marshy ground
made it dangerous for her keeper to
follow, but he managed to find her.
He tied her up in quiet spot. The
keeper sent word he had bought a
lot of peanuts and other elephant
delicacies and would let Topsy rest
for a while before trying to get her
into her car.
There will be no dogs in the neigh
borhood when the loading starts, it
was added, for a couple of bewilder-
ed hounds started all4he trouble that
has resulted in the Hagenback-Wal-
lace circus having to put up S7,5O0
bond for the damage done by their
frightened elephant.
The Eureka Dye Works here,
which claims Topsy walked through
it's builting, has filed notice of a s.
900 damage suit, and half dozen or
so individuals want their fences and
lawns paid for.
There are said to be several au-
tomobile owners also who had quite
a time Strengthening up their ma
chimes after Topsy bumped into
them in her flight. Despite all OF
Topsy's wanderings no reports have
come of any person having been hurt.

May the Home Weekly Thrive!

Editor W. NJ. Oxner, on reHnquish-
ing to Thomas NJ. Seawell, after nine
years, the ownership and manage
ment of the Batesburg-Leesville
News, writes valedictory, mostly of
local concerns, naturally, but con-
tanning this bit of wisdom which is of
general application:
For the past nine years The News
has striven to be of community in
terest. The management is of the
firm conviction that the time has
passed for a. weekly paper to give
general news to it's readers, as the
dailies are supplying that so much
earlier that the weekly can. This is
not saying than the weekly paper is
to be supplanted by the daily paper.
The former will ever remain an in
dispensable factor in town and COM
munity life. The weekly paper and
it's editor live close to it's readers
and the detailed happenings of a
community can never be chronicled
by the dailies as well as by the
weeklies. The weekly paper is most
powerful means of boosting commu-
nifty interests and it will be long
time if ever before an agency will
be found that will be so powerful
in the development of local commu-
nifty institutions
Well and truly said! Expansion
and multiplication of dailies, with
Improvement of distribution facili-
ties, enabling them to reach on publi-
cation day the subscriber in the small
town as we'll on the rural mail routes,
does not by any means imply the sup
planting of the home weekly or semi
weekly.
Rather, the home paper, released
from the necessity Of carrying at con-
siderable length summaries of the
general news of the state, the nation
and the world, is enabled to fulfill
the special functions peculiarly its
own which the dailies do not and can
not exploit. No weekly or semiweek-
ly which is diligent in gathering
local news, responsive to it's COM
munity life and editorially inde-
pendant and honest need fear the
dailies. Newspapers of these types
are complementary, not competitive.

Millions Paid
Out on Cotton

Columbia, Oct. 14.-Advances
totalling s3,442,0OO had been paid
out by the South Carolina Cotton
Growers Cooperative Association up
to Friday night, it was announced by
officials of the association today. 1t
was believed by officials of the as
sociation that Saturdays deliveries of
cotton would be the heaviest of any
single day yet, thus swelling the ad-
vances to a much greater sum. The
association is making an initial ad-
vance of IL cents a pound on short
staple and 8 cents on long staple.
This money has gone into every cot
ton growing county in the State ex-
cept Cherokee, it was stated, and
business men report that they are al
ready beginning to feel the effect of
this general distribution of money.
With an average of considerably over
100000 a day being distributed to
members and the deliveries of cotton
mounting higher each day, it is ex-
pected that the effect on business
conditions will soon be felt more
greatly.
The banks and business men of
the State are giving the associe-
tion the fullest cooperation, ,offi-
cials of the organization said today.
The banks are cashing the drafts of
the members for their advances and
many of them are urging their
farmers customers who have not al
ready joined to do so at once. Many
of them are also urging their GUS
toners to turn their old cotton over
to the association. This under the
terms of the contract is optional.
During the past week many new
contracts have been received. The
great number came from Orange
burg, Fairfield and Darlington
counties. During the week the con-
tract of T. w. Mcclure, one of the
largest farmers in Anderson County
came in and Mr.. Mcclure turned
over some old cotton to the associa-
ton. The railroads all report heavy
shipments of cotton for the associa-
ton.

Smyrna People Are

Athens, Oct. 15.-Turkey's sug-
gestion that the Near East peace con-

the Greeks if they have any con-
sideration for the health OF their
delegates in the opinion of Ameri-
can relief workers, some of whom
arrived in Athens with strange skin
maladies requiring medical treat
ment. They report sanitary condi-
tions in Smyrna as unspeakable with
the bodies of horses and other ami
mails and some of the Smyrna resi-
dents who were killed in the disaster
still in the streets.
Harry Ellsworth Boyd, of Pitts
burg, auditor of the international
committee of the Y. NJ. G. A. in Tur-
key, arrived here yesterday after
noon after escorting 700 refugees to
Mytelone aboard the United States
Shipping Board steamer Casey. He
is a member of the committee organ
lied by Rear Admiral Mark L. Basom
and has been working in close CO.
operation with A. K. Jennings, of the
Y. NJ. C. A., in his relief in his ef-
forts. Mr.. Boyd said to the Associat-
ed Press correspondent today:
ssThe 700 refugees just taken from
Mytelene were the last to be taken
out of Smyrna. Their condition was
terrifying. These people were actu-
ally being devoured alive by flies. No
girls between Is and 25 were found
in our band Of refugees; they had
been taken by the Turks"

Hunting Stories.

The big game hunter had just re-
turned from Africa, and was relating
some of his adventures.
"The most astonishing experience l
had" he said, "was when passing
through the brush I turned to find a
lion just about to spring on me. He
sprang, but I fell flat and the beast
passed right over me, and apparently
disgusted, bolted into the bush.
'T had a goat tethered near the
SPOT as bait and returned the next
day in the hope of catching the lion
feeding. What do you think were
my feelings when, as I approached
the spot cautiously, I saw the lion
practicing low jumps?"
