High Point, Jan. 29. - For some
time, it is said, s^^wm^r of the
business mein and otK^f citi^^nt
of High Point have been missing
some of their mail from their
lock boxes held in the postoffice.
In several instances, as is fre
quently the case, the patrons
would look over their mail, es
pecially on Sundays, > and return
it to the lock box or drawer.
When they came again to take it
out, it was gone. Among those
who have b^fen missing mail in
lesser or greater quantities are
the foolling: ' Union Furniture
Company, r?Wachovia Bank &
Trust Co. aiid High Point Hard
wood Lumber Company. ^
It is supposed that certain post-
office “lobby loafers’ have caught
on to the combination of the lock
boxes or drawers, and, at oppor
tune times, opened them. Then
again some of the patrons are a
little careless at time and inad
vertently leave their boxes un
locked. •
Be this as it may, there has
been somewhat of a stir here for
the last several days and the bus
iness men and other citizens are
up in arms about this depreda
tion. It is said that the Wacho
via Bank, as well as some of the
business m'^n, have missed
checks and letters in considerable
quantities recently.
The matter has been reported
to the Postoffice Department at
Washington, both by some of the
patrons and the postmaister, and
it is expected that the guilty par
ty or parties will be apprehend
ed forthwith.

A Chicago newspaper* r'iseeflitly
published the following story,
which is yet to be contradicted:
It is the Mary Gai'd^n kiss now
She invented it by kissing seveh
mere males in public last. night.
Mary declined to say whether
or not it was the first time she
ever kissed a portion of the pub
lic, but the pleased recipients ad
mitted it was the first time they
were—at least, by a grand opera
star.
Miss Garden v/as clad in mas
culine attire> too. It happened
at the performance of Cendrillon
at the Audit^Jrium Theater, held
for the benefit of the Chicago
Home for Boys.
So there! The secret is out.
The young , me:) Mary kis.sed I
were only small boys—mere in
nocents at the game. It was dur
ing the intermission that Miss
Garden assumed the role of kiss
er, and there was a rush of sun
dry urchins for their share of the
“goodies.”
Here is a description of the
Mary Garden kiss in slightly
modified language, as given by
“Tough” Darnun, a member of
the Boys’ Home, who was the
first to sample it;
“It tastes a long time and
makes the world seem sort of dif.
ferent. She doesn't make much
noise about it and seems to cover
your entire mouth with her lips.
She looks squarely into your ey
es, She’s some kisser, she is.”
Here is what the other boys
that Mary kissed had to say a-
bout it:
“Billy” Den by —Talk about
■Olga Nethersole she isn’t in it.
Miss Mary Garden is the cham”
pion kisser of the world.”
“Sunny” Lindsay—As a kiss
er she’s got all the other skirts
backed off the board.”
“Skinnv” Reifert—Say, I don’t
remember nothing much about
my motner but if her kisses were
any better sort than the fine
singer’s I reckon Fhe’s a favorite
up in the sky.'’
New York, January 25.—Bar
ton S. Cruikshank, who dropped
out of signt on the
Lawrence in June, 1910, ^ter
ieaving,, evidence thi»t led his
Men'dstb i^ppdse him df owTid^,
and who turned up in New York
about two weeks ago Donald
Douglas after some insurance on
his life had been collected and
then sailed for Porto Rico as
quickly as lawyers interested in
the case could hustle, him on
board ship, returned today. His
coming back was quite spectacu
lar. The story of his disappear
ance, his various affairs with wo
men and the prominent part he
once played in National Guard
circles and as a director of the
Clarkson Institute of Technology
had made him a subject of inter
est.
Shortly after Cruikshank’s ar
rival at Lawyer L. E. Ginn's of
fice word was sent out to the re
porters that a statement would
be given out by Percival Whip
ple., who, when Cruikshank was
Donald Douglos, was his partner
in an engineering firm on Church
street. In the office there Whip
ple displayed this statment sign
ed Barton Cruikshank :
“Until I have a talk with my
partner, Mr. Whipple, and my
lawyer I preferred to say noth
ing. l am now willing to say
that I am going North to confer
with my family and until that is
over I have nothing further to
say, except that there is no truth
in any of the stories about wo
men. I have come back to face
the music."
Later some one from Ginn’s of
fice called up several newspaper
offices and offered to deliver
Cruikshank’s story for a consid
eration. The market was inac
tive. Those interested in Cruik
shank said that he was a ready
writer and that he would probab
ly finish his piece in time to
catch a late train for Potsdam,

Rotton Corn Spreads Pellagra To
Horses
Lexington, Ky., Jan., 27.—A
disease similar to pellagra among
humans, is reported to have made
ite appea,rahce among horses, in
Madison county. A dispatch
from Richmond states that 20^ or
moire valuable horses have died
there in the last three v?eeks
froni the malady, which is caused
by eating rotten corn.
Robert Walker, the veteran
horse man of Richmond says there
is apparently no cure for the diis-
ease, which seems to affect the
brain of the animal attacked^
Farmettt and horsemen who have
suffered loss by the malady have
taken steps to its ravage by care
^ully preparing the feed for their
liorses and seeing that no defec-
I tive com is given them.
Spencer, Jan. 26.—Fire which
originated from a rat nest, burn
ed the roof from the Southern
Railway roundhouse in Spencer
tonight, entailing a loss estimat
ed at $5,000. A portion of the
office and part of the walls of the
building were also burned. A
number of fine locomotives:were
removed from the roundhouse
and saved except for slight dama-
ges. The work of the mechani
cal department will be pushed
without interruption. The Spen
cer, East Spencer and shop fire
man did good work.
Curtailmeat Plan.
Raleigh, Jan. 26. —Commis
sioner of Agriculture W. A. Gra
ham, President H. Q. Alexander
of the North Carohna Farmers’
Union and President J. M. Mit
chell of the North Carolina Far
mers’ Alliance joined today in an
appeal to all cotton-growers in
this State to meet at the court
houses in their respective coun-
ti s February 17 and organize
for the curtailment of the crop
next year, because the present
crop exceeds the requirement of
the commerce of the world, en
tailing a consequent loss to the
growers through lack of demand.
The proposed curtailmnet is a
pledge by farmers that they will
plant an acre of feed product for
every acre of cotton planted
next season.
