VICTIMS UNKNOWN

We wonder who in Mecklenburg or CASTOR or in
the local textile territory will be killed in the forth
coming strikes surely indicated in the announce
ments of the Committee for Industrial Organiza-
tion 1t is too much to hope that the C. l. o. will
not whip the textile industry into foment in the
course of its organization 1t is too much to hope
that North Carolinians and South Caronians will
not be killed in the course of the disputes They
always are.
There are still vivid memories of the killing Of
Chief Aderholt of Gastona, and of the inoffensve
Ella May Virgins. And of the slaughter in Ma.
rion. And of the fatality in Belmont And of those
in Honea Path. These are fresh memories and
come Instantly to mind wnen the thought of tex
tile strike arises Bloodshed follows a Southern
textile strike almost as inevitably as night follows
day. So, rather Realistically, we may watch for
the organization process to begin, and then the
strikes and then the violence and then the funer-

of thought when you consider the
devotions Of his life and those of
Christ, though actuated by differ
cnt motives.
Study the deep, abiding and al
together unsclfish interest Of Mr..
Strong in this community after he
located here as the place of live
and die among the many places
on the mainland and on the isles
of the sea where he had exercised
temporary choices. He is an out
standing example of man who
gave himself to the community,
working for what he thought its
betterment. Longer than his
strength would warrant, he fol-
lowed an intensive service for the
community until his physician in
sisted for the sake of his own life
that he lay down his work.
THE DISCIPLES LAMENTED
the going of Jesus; VIC deplored
the illness of Mr.. Strong and
painfully missed his liberal scrv-
ice to the community. Jesus said
about himself that it was EEK
pedient" for the disciples that his
work end. 1T bears together for
your good" some one has inter-
preted. So it was in the retire
mcnt of Mr.. Strong.
AS ONE WHO LABORED
along with Mr.. Strong | would not
in any sense disparage his work.
AS secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce during his first year as
president, am in q position to
know how he unseifishly threw
himself into the work, and yet is
it not better for community that
no one man shoulder the most of
its civic burdens. II is tempting

ices. We are prone Ito ride

MR.. STRONG CAME TO US
when our civic spirit was at the
zero point. The spirit of men was
so low it seemed that there was
little worth working for in a civic
way. We longed for a santa claus.
We needed some one like Mr..
Strong to revive our spirits; to set
for us fine examples of unselfish-
ness and to preach unity and one
ness of spirit. He was leading
spirit in helping to restore the
Chamber of Commerce; in build
ing Rotary more solidly and in
