Schemes are so plentiful
and enticing. Were you
ever the victim of a dupe?
Many good people re-siding
not a thousand
~iles from Greensboro
nave been the victims of
"wild cat" schemes. The
promoters are so persua-sive,
so oily and smooth,
your money is so safe,
your profits so sure and
so big -and then the
awakening to the fact that
your money is gone—the
scheme was a fake. How
bitter the pill to swallow.
Lots of folks have been
taking this kind of medi-cine.
Before you "bite" at
such a scheme, consult
your banker and take his
advice. You'll never be

A nol l res was
entered as to the other .as s againsl
him. Following the acquittal of
Rayle, Judge Shaw ordered the three
state's witnesses—Dave Stevenson,
Reuben Vail and Will Howard—taken
[into custody and held under bonds
of $300 ea h until the solicitor could
send bills against them for conspir-acy
or | erjury.
Howard testilied that he bought
liquor o: Rayle and told Stevenson
and Vail of It. The warrant was
sworn out by st ven-on charging
Rayle with the ' offense. All thr. o
witnesses admitted on cross exami-nation
they had been in trouble.
Stevenson is said to have been a
notorious violator of the law in Ciuil-ford.
but recently professed to have
changed his life and had been aid-ing
the officers in breaking up the
whiskey traffic in Sunnier township.
If is said, however, that Stevenson
had not been acting in good faith,
but that he was using this method
of getting even with some old ene-mies.
Rayle has for some time been an
ally of the officers and has frequent-n"'.-

Judge Howard A: Foushee, of Dur-ham,
yesterday 'andered to Gover-nor

Increased Attendance in Creensboro.
Schools.
The enrollment of the Greensboro
graded schools at the end of the
first week of the fall term reached
2,899, which is the heaviest on re-cord.
Dr. J. L. .Mann, superintend-ent
of the schools, says the enroll-ment
will exceed 3.000. especially
when the compulsory attendance
law is put in effect. Th's law is not
effective, as far as efforts to en-force
it are concerned, until Octo-ber.
6. and the rounds of the at-tendance
officers are pre;ty certain
to swell the school enrollment. The
present attendance, however, is near-ly
500 in excess of last year's big-gest
number. The enrollment for
1912-13 was 2.452.
This increase is due to many dif-ferent
things, according to Dr. Mann.
He noticed in the registration that
the new pupils were in many in-stances
new residents, having moved
here from other cities and towns and
from tl,e country.
The biggest increase is in the first
grade, where 400 children have been
enrolled. It has been found neces-sary
to employ additional teachers
in this grade.
Circue Has Small Crowd and Bad
Luck.
Robinson and Sanger's circus,
which exhibited in Greensboro Mon-day,
did not attract a very large
crowd. The tents were pitched on
a portion ot the Whittington prop-erty,
in the southern part of the
city, and afternoon and night per-formances
were given. The show was
crippled by a railroad wreck at Ar-arat,
near Mt. Airy, Saturday morn-ing,
when a long flat car carrying
part of the paraphernalia left the
track on a sharp curve. Four white
Capacity cf Revolution Mill be More

Plans ae being perfected to more

the plant equal to the mammoth
White Cak mill. The work of »n-larglng
the plant will begin soon
and will be pushed steadily to com-pletion.
An adi'.ilinu will be bn It
lo boh ends of the present miil
and when completed (-he structure
will extend from within ."0 feet of
the Southern Kr.ilway tracks east to
the eleciric car line, a distance of
1.000 feet.
The equipment of the mill will be
increased from 800 to 2.000 looms,
the number now operated by White
Oak. and a full complement of other
machinery. Th's will mean the em-ployment
of nearly 1,000 more peo-ple
and will can for the erection
of perhaps 200 new houses iu the
mil] village.
The addition will represent an
expenditure of about Jl,500,000 and
comes as the best piece cf indus-trial
news tha*. has been turned
loose in Greensboro in a long while.
It is expected to have the enlarged
mill in operation by the end of 1014.
The Revolution mill was establish-ed
13 years ago for the manufacture
of dometts and Canton flannels. The
officers are: E. Sternberger, pres-ident;
Julius W. Cone, vice presi-dent;
H. Sternberger, secretary and
treasurer.
W. E. Holley, a well known and

him beneath the heavy machine. He
was held under the tractor about
three hours before he was rescued.
One of his legs was badly injured
