KAISBR William will be mar

Hermine, of Reuss. Wonder
why he doesn't wait six days
later and make the occasion have
a double meaning?
Fifty school children1 at Pitts
burg Sept. 22nd were massed in
the lobby of a picture theatre
waiting for the doors to open
when the concrete floor cracked,
and dropped the little ones into
the basement. One little girl
was killed, and many injured
They were there to witness the
picture "The Trap." It proved
a trap for them.
Mrs. E. E. Moffit, formerly of
Raleigh but now of Richmond,
has launched a movement amcng
the federated home bureau clubs
to raise $10,000 to build at the
entrance of the State College
campus a memorial archway in
honor of the late Richard Stan
hope Pullen, who gave the ground
upon which the College is built.
Richmond county can be de
pended upon to lead. The Ben
nettsville paper has a standing
offer of a year's subscription to
the man raising the largest
watermelon in Marlboro county.
The prize went this year for a
58 34 pounder. That may be
large for Marlboro, but Z. O.
Ellerbe, of Richmond county,
had a score of melons on the
Rockingham market that weigh
ed over 60 pounds each. One
melon he brought the Post-Dis-PATCH
weighed an even 66
pounds.
The Post-Dispatch would call
attention to the Made-in-the-Car
olinas Exposition that began in
Charlotte last Monday, and which
will continue until Saturday
night of next .week. A vast
variety of Carolina made prod
ucts are on display in the huge
concrete exposition buildings,
and it is a revelation to those of
us who are wont to imagine that
for any particular thing to be
good it must come from a dis
tance. If you can attend this ex
position, you should most cer
tainly do so.
The administration building at
the Jackson Training School at
Concord burned two weeks or so
"ago; and now Mrs. Mary Ella
Cannon, of Concord, has come
forward with a cash gift of
$50,000 to replace the building. It
is fortunate for the wayward
youth that there was to be found
a woman who had combined the
two elements of wealth and ap
preciation Of the value of such
a school to the State.
In a prixe fight in Paris Sunday
night between Georges Cafpen-
tier, the French champion, and
Battling Siki, a Senegalese fighter,
Carpenrier was knocked out in
the sixth round, and Siki now
becomes champion fighter of
France and Europe. Already
efforts by fight fans are being
made to arrange a- match be
tween Jack Dempsey and the
negro, but it is to be hoped that
no such fight will be allowed.
Our civilization should have no
such meeting ground, any more
than is the case in other walks
of life. The paths of the races
are separate and should be kept
so.
Last Spring the Republicans of
this State organized a "Patriotic
and Protective League." Chair
man Grissom is now sending out
appeals to the 'faithful' to con
tribute through it to the campaign
fund to extent of $10.95 each
this being $3.65 a year for 1922,
1923 and 1924. This amount en
titles you to full membership in
this 'glorious' organization which
has for its purpose two objects:
1st, to save the State, and also
the Nation should any of its
national majority drop by the way
side (which will most certainly
happen); and 2nd, to "protect"
America with such a high tariff
wall that the poor man will have
to pay a hundred per cent and
upward more than would be the
case were foreign goods admitted.
The "P. & P." league is after
the coin, so come across, you
generous jiners.
The New York Times is pub
lishing daily the Memoirs of the
Ex-Kaiser, written by himself.
The installments began Sept. 24
and wiy continue daily through
Oct. 23rd. They make most in
teresting reading.
$225,000 was paid to the Ex-
Kaiser for the riehts to his
Memoirs outside of Germany.
Lloyd George is writing a book
of Memoirs, and it is said He is
to receive more than one million
dollars for them. Joseph P. Tu
multy received $100,000 for his
serial and book rights on "Wood-
row Wilson As I Knew Him."
Gen. Grant received $420,000 for
his book of Memoirs. General
Sherman received around $25,
000 for his.
Senator Watson Dead.
Senator Thomas E. Watson, of
Thomson, Georgia, died in
Washington Tuesday morning at
2:40 o clock of asthma He was
66 years old, and a stormy center
in political life in Georgia for
many years.
School Enrollment 682.
The enrollment in the city
schools is increasing each. day.
The number registered for the
High School Department has now
reached 207, with 475 in the
grades, making the total of white
children enrolled 682. This is
within 2 of the total enrollment
for last year.
The enrollment in the colored

McLendon dub.
Hov. M. E. Cotton, field secretary
for the 6tate Anti-Saloon League,
spoke at three places in Richmond
county Sunday morning at Ellerbe
Springs, afternoon at Rockingham
Methodist church, and night at
Hamlet Methodist church. The af
ternoon meeting was also the occas-,
ion for the regular semi-monthly
meeting of the McLendon club.
The McLendon club is an active,
organization and is a moving force,
for morality. You who are being
inattentive to this organisation are
missing something. The next meet
ing will be October 8th,

KILLED BY PISTOL
(Continued from Front Page)
went upstairs at the Hendley
nome into" Fred's sister's room,
and took from a drawer a 32
calibcr pistol. Fred unbreeched
the weapon, but in rebreeching
it the weapon accidently was
fired, the ball striking young
Blacker in the side and going
completely through him. Fred
at once put Abner on bis back
and started to the Blacker home
with him, a distance of nearly a
block. Physicians were sum
moned and the parents rushed
the lad to the James hospital at
Hamlet for an operation. This
was performed, but it was dis
covered that the liver was per
forated to such an extent that
surgery was of no avail and
death resulted at 2:30 that night.
Abner bore his misfortune brave
ly, assuring his family of his
faith, and making a beautiful
prayer before he died. He also
told those about his bedside that
Fred must not be blamed that
it was entirely accidental.
The remains were prepared for
burial according to the Jewish
custom, and Sunday morning
services were held in the tem
porary Jewish synagogue by the
Jewish Rabbi. Sunday night the
body was shipped to Richmond,
accompanied by Mr. and Mrs.
Blacker, and there interred Mon
day. Abner would have been 16
years old next May 6th. Fred
Hendley will be 14 Oct. 12th.
Abner was preparing himself to
be a Rabbi; he studied for a year
in a Hebrew school in Baltimore,
and a year at Lumberton. He
was in school here this past year,
and had entered for this fall term.
His parents have the sympathy
of the community in the death ot
a promising son.

'THE CALL OF THE WOODS"
"Where e'er I go, where e'er I stray
I feel the call of the wild wood.
And often when I rest my limbs
I sink into that longing mood
That calleth me to come and go
Outside into the good grjen wood.
"And as I sleep throughout the
night
A vision flits across my brain,
And spite of all that I can do
I long for the wild woods again,
For out there I can always hear
The small song bird's beautiful
strains. ,
"In fair Springtime and in Summer
In cold Winter and in late Fall
I always visit the wild wood,
For I can not resist the call."
w By Luther Cecil McRae.
