Non-Uunion Men Left Hamlet
It is reliably reported here that
seventy-five or eighty non-union men
were employed and went to Hamlet
Wednesday to begin work in the Ham

night and left without doing a lick
of work. It is not stated that any
threats were made and conditions in
Monroe and between here and Hamlet
indicate that there is to be no disorder.

Interesting Speculation
There is quite a bit of interesting :
speculation among Monroe and Union
county citizens as to the final out-
come of the strike and the effects :
unun this section should the freight i
and express trains stop running. Some
believe that automobiles and trucks
could to a great extent take the place
of train service, while others want
to know where the gasoline would
come rrom to run them, une man
thinks food sunnlies would roon give
out, but another says there is food I
enough in Union county to last a!
time, although, we might be compell-!
od to get along without sugar, coffee -
and fu.ally flour. But the more con-
servative minds are sure that a solu
tion to the strike problem will be
reached bvfore any great amount of
nconvenience is experienced.

las, charged directly with the mur

still in jail without bond. The city is
quiet tonight.
The tragedy is said to have fol
lowed a conversation between South
well and Dallas, during which, it is
alleged, Southwell referred to Dallas
as a "scab" because of the latter's
assignment as a special officer on the
Coast Line yards in addition to hu
regular duties as assistant yard mas
ter. Fonveille is said to have been
with Dallas at the time of the shoot
ing. Inquiry Still Pending
An inquest over the remains of
the dead engineer was held with Jus

this morning, after which the jury
adjourned until a later hour, at which
time it was expected that witnesses
would be-heard and a verdict reaeh-

the only person. present with the ex
ception of Southwell and Dallas, when
the latter are alleged to have met

shortly after Southwell's death on a of blockading. Scott was convicted

veille was preparing to leave the pris-
on when the second warrent charg-

held along with Dallas.

it appears that Southwell and Dallas'

DEBINITE PLANS FOR FAIR
ARE NOW BEING ARRANGED
Enthusiastic Boosters Met Last Night
and Appointed Committee to
Take Up the Matter

Is Coming.
union county is likely to have a
real agricultural fair this fall. Such
a fair has never before been so near
,in eight, rrom time to time therelput it back and pass it down the line
I have been little side-show affairs, nd back first. As above stated it was
which were the best that could be
done. But now the proposition has
assumed the shape of a real fair, with
all the usual fair amusements thrown
in.
The possibility of having an honest
to God fair this fall arises from the
fac tthat fair grounds and buildings
are ready at hand. Some one conceived
ed the idea that the recreational prop
erty of Messrs. Shute, known as Lake
Tonowanda, would be perfectly adap
table to fair purposes. The idea took
like everything and Mr. Shute has
come across like a good sport and
offered the use of the property on
most reasonable terms.
There is plenty o fopen acreage and
buildings on the grounds, both for the
display of farm products and machin
ery and for live stock. Also there
are the amusement features ready and
waiting. Scarcely a better plant for
the purpose could have been built if
it had been designed for a fair alone.
The capital necessary to provide
grounds and maintain them in idle
ness during the whole year is the
bugaboo which causes so many at
tempts at county fairs to fail. This
is what has kept Union county from
having a fair. Now, here are the
grounds and buildings at hand. What
doth hinder us from having a fair?
Nothing, say a great many enthu
siastic citizens who have already put
the movement on foot.
Last .night a number of enthusias
tic fair boosters met in the office of
the chamber of commerce and appoint
ed a committee to take u pthe matter
of organization and report to a sub
sequent meeting this,
sequent meeting. This meeting is to
be held at the call of the chairman
I of this-special committee, who is Mr.
J. C, Jl-Vann. The others serving on
(this special committee are J. L. Wood-
, I n li i ...
son, J. w. uaney, ana . . vnun,
secretary. Jlr. Vann was given power
to add other names to the committee
and this he did by appointing H. K.
Helms and T. J. W. Broom to repres
ent the agricultural phase of the prop
osition, J. E. Shute and T. P. Dillon
on amusement and entertainment, and
Eugene Ashcraft and Ii. F. Beasley
Jr., on publicity.
No permanent organization was
contemplated last night, but this will
be gone into at the next mass meet
ing, which is to be held in the day in
order that farmers nay conveniently
attend. It is proposed to have a coun
ty agricultural fair, Mr. Vann sug
gested that the organization he per
fected under the statute providing for
such fairs. Nobody is to be called upon
to stib.-cribe to stock or to put up
any money, the organization will not
be a stock company. It will be sim
ply a working organization to pro
mote and hold a yearly agricultural
fair.
It was pointed out in the meeting
last ri-ht that such a fair would be
easy in Union county owing to the re
markiibb progress being made in di-ver--:
1 farming had in live stock.
,The time has come when we must ad
vertise our progress both at home and
abroad. It is a business matter. brth
for the purpose of stimulating i;i iv
progress and for showing what hai
already been attained. The ease with
which exhibits can be provided, the
fact that grounds and buildings are
already at jiand, the fact that Union
county needs to advertise its progress
and possibilities, all go to make the
fair a success if the people get in
terested in it, and they will. It is not
a private money making affair at all,
as some fairs are, but purely a mu
tual undertaking. When tne next meet
ing is called there should be a large
attendance, especially of farmers. The
stutute under which the fair is like-
ly to be organized and operated is)
found in the Consolidated Statutes
beginning at section 4941, which
reads us follows:
"Any number of resident persons, :
not less than ten, may associate to- j
gether in any county, under written
articles of association, subscribed by
the members thereof, and specifying
the object of the association to en
courage and promote agriculture, paring to erect a four-room modern I Miss Mary Secrcst, Monroe Sec

incident to such a body, and may take

to promote the objects of their asso

ning and perpetuity of the organiza
tion, and one provides that the state
will contribute one hundred dollars to
the association when a like amount
has been otherwise contributed.
