MONROE HAS INTERESTING
VISITOR OF BROOKLYN CITY
The RI. Rev. A. Golam, Head Greek
ORTHODOX Church in America. Is
the Guest OF Mr.. Saleeby

Monroe has a rather remarkable
visitor this week in the person Of the
Ri. Rev. A. Golam, head of the Greek
or Syrian Orthodox Church in Ameri-
ca. DIR. Golam's headquarters is in
Brooklyn..N. Y, and he is visiting his
friend, Mr.. N. D. Saleeby. Next Sum-
day he will go to Columbia, S. c., to
conduct services in the Episcopal
church in that city. On Easter Sum
day he win conduct services in Flor
ence. S. c., and the week following
Easter he will conduct the Holy Week
services for the Greeks and Syrians
in Charlotte.
The Rt. Rev. Golam is said to be
one of the greatest singers in Amer
lea. 1t is claimed by some that his
voice is almost equal to that of the
late Caruso, the Italian singer. DR..
Golam was educated in Syria and
later took post graduate courses in
Constantinople and Athens. He is a
naturalized citizen of America, hav-
ing come to this country in October
1912. He speaks fairly good Eng
rsh and delivers his discourses in
English. When asked if Syrian and
Greek children that are born and
reared in America learn to speak the
language of their parents, he replied
that nearly all such children speal
only the English language and thai
he therefore always breaches, in Eng
lish.
He stated that living standards il
Syria have been very greatly raiset
for the past few years and that mod
ern conveniences are now in evidence
on every hand. Electricity has com'
into use for lighting purposes and fo
power and Syria is taking on new lif'
| in keeping with other progressive
countries and living is much easie
than in former days.
DR.. Golam says the prevailing pro
testant religions in Syria are Presby
terian and Orthodox, Greek. The Cath
olics have strong following, but Mo
hammodanism is, the prevailing reli
gion and the Mohammodans practic
palygamy as largely as the Mormon
in America.
Public schools and colleges are rap
idly on the increase and educationa
advantages are extended maJorit
of the children.

lguest of Mr.. Saleeby until Easter, af
ter which he will return to Brooklyn

JOHN EWING, YOUNG WHITE
nan, is KILLED BY TRAIN
Struck Near Bakers Where He and
Companion Had Stopped TO Rest
and Fell Asleep
ENGINE STRUCK HIS HEAD
AND CRUSHED BRAINS OUT
Sheriff Fowler Notified and Body
Brought to Monroe and Turned
Over TO the Undertakers

John Ewing young man or
Chester, S. c., was killed yesterday
morning a little after five O'Clock
by northbound Seaboard freight
train about mile this side OF Bakers
crossing. He and his companion,
John Black, were on their way to-
their home in Chester and had set
down on an embankment by the side
OF the railroad to rest and dropped
OF to sleep. Their heads fell back
on the rail and they lay there until
the freight train blew. when Black
heard it and jumped up. Ewing did
not wake and the driving wheel OF
the engine struck the right side OF
his head just above the eye and
crushed it. He was knocked about
five feet from the track and when
picked up BY Sheriff Clifford Fowler
he was resting on his knees with his
face buried in the dirt.
After the train struck Ewing.
Black started back to Monroe on foot
but was picked up by truck and
hurried to the sheriff's office to tell
the sad news. Sheriff Fowler reached
the scene of the tragedy about 8
o'clock and the body was still warm
when he got there. The body was
brought to Monroe on the section
masters car and turned over to I.
p. Dillon & Sons, undertakers. and
the young mans father was tele-
phoned at his home in Chester
| Ewing and Black came to Monroe
from Chester, S. c., about three
weeks ago and secured work In the
standard Cotton Mill. Wednesday
night they decided TO return to their
homes in Chester on foot, going by
way OF Charlotte aud got as far as
Bakers when they stopped to rest
and sat down on an embankment in
a railroad cut with the above stated
results. Ewing was about 81 years
of age and has wife and baby. His
companion is just boy, Is or 20.
The only information that can be
obtained in regard to the unfortun-
ate affair il that furnished by young
Blaes companion of Ewing. Railroad
men don't seem to be certain which
train struck the young man. tht
freight that ran just ahead of thu
passenger train or the passenger
, train itself. 1t being dark, and only
Ewing's head being on the track. Il
is reasonable to suppose that the en-
! gineer did not see him at all. This
! is strengthened by the fact that thu
train did not stop to pick the deaf
body up and bring IL to Monroe.
Mr. James Ewing father of thu
: dead man, came to Monroe yesterda!
| afternoon and carried the body t
4 Chester for burial.
