She had rather a restless night, but her condition is practically the same. Dr. Stokes, of Salisbury, came this m.orning to assist in moving Mrs. S)irings lo the hospital. It is learned that she will be operated on tomor row. The Robbery. On the iiigjii of .-Xiiii! 2. 1007, an entrance was affe»"tco in tiio store if the So'.nhcrn Hardware Company by a small boy, who opened the rear door for tlie man or.;side. On enter ing’ the st'>re tlie man—who proved to be Southall—took 30 revolvers, 500 roursds of cartridges, a overcoat belonging (o i\lr. Vv’". W. Watt. $0 in casii and other articles. On his v.-ay out the thief carried the cash reg’s- ter \\ith him. From this they got in cash. Southall visited the ofTice, where Mr. V/att's overcoat vras found. The police had scant clue upon which to work, but the\' proved equal to the mystery, and some VN'eeks after arreste Soutl:ail as the thief. A ma?i from Augusta was telling Chief Christen!)ury of a man being arrested in. -Aiigusta, Ca., and that he had 17 pistols on him. The chief v.ired the ( hief of police in Augusta and feeling sure that the man there was the one he was in search oi went to Augtista. The pistols proved to be those taken from Ihe Southern Hardware Company, and the thief— Southall—was broiight here and on trial wa.s sentenced to the pen.iren- tiary for three . years. His sentence was not .served owing to the requisi tion from Kentucky. On April 8ih. 1907, Chief Christen- bury and Mr. T. W. Dixon, of the Southern Hardware Company, who had gone tq Augusta, identified the suspect as the man who had robbed the hard ware comj)any. The Augusta Herald had the follow ing story relative to the arrest: “Arrested on the chaige of carrying concealed weapons, A. J. Southai. a young white man of Virginia, was ar rested here. Sonthal pawned two pis tols, which led to his- arrest. He signed for a box at the express office under the name of W. H. Watson. He was W’atched and when the box was open ed it was found to contain 15 new re volvers. His arrest followed. The ex press package came from Colum bia. Southall is a morphine flend.” Southall claimed to be a brakeman on the Southern railroad, and a Vir ginian byibirth. He Avas tried before Recorder F. M. Shannonhouse, April 10th. 1907, and bound over to superior court in the sum of $1,000. He was tried at the April term of court and sentenced to three years in the peni tentiary. SABBATH SCHOOL CLASS ENTERTAINED. A very enjoyable affair last eveaing was given at the manse of Ihe First A. IL P. church when Mrs. Geo. W. Han na entertained informally her Sabbath school class. The night was cold and blustery, hut in spite of this quite a large number of the young ladies of the class were present. Dainty re freshments were served and amusing games and delightful music made the evening pass all too rapidly, and at a late hour the guests departed, all vot ing the occasion one to be long remem bered in the history of POSTUM Instead of Coffee Means Better nerves to thousands— **There*s a Reason'^ Read the “Road to Wellville,” in pkg3. api'carcd iii ihe Keystone, Tliere are t” o claimants, it will be recalled by Mr^^. .lones. for this hon- oi ; Raudolidi Siaith, oi’ J lender j'>ou, N.

London, of Pittsboro. state chairu:ai) for North Carolina, of th? Chai-iel Hill monument committee Iras issued a circular letter to the I'. D. C.'s of the state, in which she sKys I '■i-^ach chapter is urged to send at once its contribution to ihc state treas urer. Mrs. Robert Kornt-gay, of Golds boro, X. C., and each chapter president is asked to appoint an a^^ivc chaptcr coriimitto to solicit conirib’ttions, not only from the Univers-ity alumni, but from aV! persons who are willing to honor in this- nianner ihe monory of the Univerfity's Confederate soldiers with substantial contributions, Ii is desired that tlie names of contributors be given in every instance, so that they may be recorded at the Universi ty and also in our U. D. C. books. The monument to be erected on the campus at Chapel Mil’ is not only in memory of the ‘■boy&” who left the University m i8tj1 for the war. but aTso those who attended the University and afterwards became Confederate soldiers. There were more than 1,000 I'^niversity men in the struggle be tween the states. The monument has been designed by the Canadian sculptor, .lohn Wilson, and will be very beautiful. The front die will bear a bronze tablet, depicting a woman representing the sta^e ap- Ijealing to a young student to take up arjis for his commonwealth. Books are falling from the youth’s arms as he listens to lier appeal. The heroic figure surmounting tlie shaft repre sents a young soldier boy. Standing on the campus for all time it will be an ob’pject lesson to future generations of students, and will im press upon them their obligr.tions to re spond to the call of duty. Unless a goodly sum is raised at once the monument can not be unveil ed during commencement. The local chapter of Daughters of the Confederacy have had a comifiittee working for this prpject tor some time of which ^Irs. Chas. Vv. Tillet, as chair man. At the March meeting of the chapter a unanimous vote was given favoring each member making an of fering of oO cents for the fund to com plete a gift of |100, .$25 of which wou'd be given by a member of the local committee. To carry out the urgent demands for completion of the fund Mrs. L. B. Newell, of the committee, will assist the treasurer. Mrs, Essie Blankenship, in getting the money in hand by calling on the members for their contribution. This plan was adopt ed as preferable to a tea or play. The w^ork will be greatly lessened by U.
