can handle any sort of an "attraction"
that comeB down the pike. And then
in this instance one might be consid-ered
as an offset to tbe other.

Mrs. Carrie Nation swooped down
on Greensboro last Wednesday and
told us of the evils of whiskey, tobacco
and cigarettes. She Is hippodroming
over the state realizing fair returns on
the notoriety she secured by smashing
a few Kansas saloons with her trusty
hatchet. From here she visited several
nearby towns and cities, returning last
night to nil an engagement at the
park. So far as we can judge, the
cause of temperance has not been ma-terially
stimulated by her sojourn of a
week or more in the state.
Tbe centennial committee of arrange-ments,
numbering fifty or more, met
at tbe call of Chairman C. M. Vaustory
last uigbt aud discussed fur a time
such preliminary matters as are neces-sary
to an undertaking such as tbe big
celebration here next year promises to
be. The chair was empowered by res-olution
to appoint a subcommittee of
live to outline a program for the cen-tennial
and reuuiou and report same
back to tbe general committee, which
will in turn submit the same to tbe
citizens of Greensboro at a mass meet-ing
to be called later.
Rebekah Lodge, No. 51, was iuBti-tuted
in the hall of Grfennboro Lodge,
No. 164, I. O. G. V., last Thursday
night with tweuty charter members,
fourteen of whom were women. The
officers aud several members of Magda-lene
Rebekah Lodge, of High Point,
came down to make the installation.
The officers installed were Miss Kmma
Reun, noble grand; Mrs. W. G. Lewis,
vice grand; Miss Khie McLean, secre-tary;
Mr. W. E. Hockett, treasurer.
At tbe meeting of the lodge tomorrow
night Grand Secretary R. H. Woodeil
will make au address.
Maliy Brewer, a youug colored mail
anested here by Sergeant Patterson
last Thursday morning on a warrant
sent from Durham charging with him
fornication and adultery, had no no-tion
of returning to the Bull City if he
could possitily avoid it. He broke
away from the officer here and was
only recaptured alter a loug chase
across back lots aud over fences, aud
on Friday, after being turned over to a
Durham deputy, again escaped by
makiug good use of his pedal extremi-ties.
At Mebauc he jumped from the
train and disappeared iu a nearby
cornfield before the astonished deputy
had time to get out of the car.
A middle-aged colored . man who
traveled under several aliases made a
fairly good haul by a clever piece of
crooked work here last week. He vis-ited
Foibis' furniture store and selected
two or three pieces of furniture, ten-dering
in payment a Burlington check
for $3-5 aud receiving about $15 in
change, casually remarking that he
would call for the goods next day.
He haeu't called yet. Tbe same day
he worked ofl another bogus check on
a down-town furniture dealer, receiv-ing
several dollars in cbauge after
; making a few purchases. His rascality
was not discovered uutil the following
day and he had evidently moved out
of range of the police, as reports from
neighboring towns south of here show-ed
that be bad favored them with a
visit soon after leaving here.
The civic league has ottered to sd-van
• the city $400, the amount needed
to coui Me the paving work on North
Kim stie. rather than have the work
held up in. ill the first of the year, aud
it will be pushed to completion at once.
Tbe league will not accept interest on
the money. It is simply using every
means to bring about a beautlffcation
of the city and its efforts have not been
unavailing. The city has been divided
into districts which under tbe direction
of competent committees will be im-proved
from a hygienic standpoint as
well as made more attractive. Tbe
North Elm street district has already
set about to improve Fisher park,
which naeds attention, and will give
some sort of an entertainment soon to
raise funds to carry out its plans. Mr.
C. H. Ireland has offered tbe league
sufficient rich dirt to improve court
square and also enough turf to outline
tbe walks that will be made there.
By next year, when the city's centen-nial
will be celebrated, the league will
have Uanwformed the old town into a
city beautiful.

Dr. Battle's Resignation to Take Effect
September 1st.
At the First Baptist church Sunday
morning, the church granted the re-quest
of Rev. Dr. H. W. Battle that it
permit his resignation to take effect
September 1 instead of October 1, the
church at Klnstoo having been with-out
a pastor since January 1 and hav-ing
requested that Dr. Battle come to
it as early as possible. Dr. Battle will
take his annual vacaliou in August
and will be absent from bis pulpit for
two or three Sundays.
Dr. Battle last week accepted a call
to the Kinston church, which sent a
strong committee here to interview
him and urge his acceptance. He had
received overtures from larger churches
in other states, and which paid larger
salaries, but he felt that be could be of
greater service to the cause or Christ in
North Carolina than elsewhere. It is
understood that his salary in Kinston
will be the same as he received here.
A pulpit committee of twelve was
elected Sunday to look around for a
new pastor for the church. The com-mittee
is composed as follows: O. Joe
Howard, F. P. Hobgood, Jr., W. O.
Riddick, Lee H. Battle, J. B. Harri-son,
Spencer B. Adams, C. E. Holton,
J. B. Stroud, J. L. Spencer, C. E. Lin-coln,
W. R. Stone, C. W. Moseley.
The committee organized by electing
Lee H. Battle chairman and O. Joe
Howard secretary.
Ministers Plan for Artmati Lecture.
The regular meeting of the minis-
I terial association was held at the Mc-
Adoo hotel Monday morning when
arrangements for the lecture by Judge
| Artman, who will speak here August
■ 7 on the subject of the uuconstltution-
| ality of the law regarding the shipping
of whisky into prohibition territory,
'. were discussed. Committees were ap-pointed
as follows: Finance, the Rev.
; Melton Clark, chairman; Rev. L. F.
| Johnson, Messrs. A. M. Scales, C. H.
Ireland aud A. W. Cooke; advertising,
Rev. Dr. G. H. Detwiler, chairman;
Dr. J. E. Cartlaud, J. M. Hendrix,
Judge T. J. Shaw aud R. W. Hay-wood;
"Tangements, Capt. F. P. Hob-good,
Jr., chairman: Messrs. E. D.
; Broad hurst aud T. C. Hoyle.
A committee composed of theofficers
of the assi elation was appoiuted to
diaft sullable resolutions of respect for
the late Dr. P. J. Carraway, whose
death occurred last week.
The fact that the Rev. Dr. H. W.
1 Battle is to leave the city is greatly re-gretted
by the members of the associa-tion,
all of whom look upon him as
one of the leaders iu the organization.
Returned From New York.
Miss Laura and Mr. Chas. J. Brock-manu
leturntd Sunday from New
j York, where they weut to take the
| summer term of tbe Virgil Piano
I School. They attended tbe classes in
\ haimony, ear training, aud modern
I methods of music teaching, besides
! the daily lessons in piano technic.
I The method of developing a rapid,
broad and sure technic is what tbe
Virgil school is celebrated for, and
the scientific principles applied are
claimed to save a third of the time
usually devtoed to piano study. The
lirockrnauue are much pleased with
the work and have added some strong
points to their equipment, to be used
in tbe uew course at the State Normal
College. They of course heard a great
deal of music and picked up uovelties
aud popular music iu New York at
the present time, as well as classical
and i ndard works. They returned
by boat -ia Noifolk aud visited the
Jamestown exposition.
Faithful Dog Kept Vigil Over Master's
Dead Body.
The lifeless body ot James McCaun,
an employe of White Oak mills, was
found Monday evening within a short
distance or his home, where it had lain
several hours guarded by a faithful
dog. Tbe growls of the animal when
the spot was approached by two men
in a buggy led to the discovery or the
body. How long the faithful beast
bad stood guard at tbe side of his dead
master is not known, but it was several
hours after Mr. McCanu was seen to
leave the house that the body was
found.
Mr. McConn, who was seventy-two
years of age, had beeu in bad health
for some time and had recently suffered
several attacks or heart failuie. He
had been advised to quit work ror a
time but declined to do so. He left bis j
home Mouday with the intention of
taking a walk and it is not known !
< nether the fatal stroke came as he•
.van leaving or returning
The funeral took place at the resi-dence
yesterday intermeut being made
at Proximity cemetery. Mr. Mct'auu
is survived by a wife aud four children.

Hon. E J Justice went to Raleigh
Monday to confer »ith tbe Corporation
C..raini*Mou in regard to the complaints
made by several cities as to discrimi-nations
iu freight rates by tbe South-ern
Railway. It Is understood that a

Salem aud Greensboro are joiuid
in this first action in this state for vio-lating

North Carolina Merchants' Associa-tion.
It is understood that Hon. Jas.
8. Manning, H. A. Fousbee aud Attor-ney
Everett have been retained to
prosecute the case for Durham.
Large Yield of Grain From "Worn Out"
Land.
.Mr. J. R. Hughes has again demon-strated
the fertility of what some
! people are pleased to term the "worn
I out" land or Guilford. Four years ago,
[on what is now his "Wayside Farm,"
four miles north of the city, the scrub
pine was cut to bun brick for the big
White Oak mills. Last week he
threshed 1600 bushels or wheat aud
winter oats that were produced ou this
reclaimed laud, the stand having beeu
as hue as one could wish. His spring
oats are just now being cut, and he is
certain he,will mike in all over 2000
bushels of grain this year from land
that formerly had the leputatiou or be-ing
worthless. Evidently there is some-thing
in knowing how to farm.
A STRONG
FOUNDATION
Acau. i-iy or Medicine.
At the regular ii>outhly meeting or
the Greensboro Academy or Medicine
last Friday night the- hospital ambu-lance
fund was turned ver to the St.
Leo's Hospital Ambulance Fund So-ciety,
au organization recent 'y organ-ized
by the ladies or the city. Mrs. T.
J. Copeland is president or the society.
It is tbe purpose or the ladies to com-plete
the amount necessary to purchase
the ambulance, which it is thought
will be done in a short time. The so-ciety
will have control or the ambu-lance
and will fix tbe fee.
The usual amount or routine business
was disposed of and several interesting
talks were made by different physi-cians.
