VENUS; “CUSSED HIM OUT AND CAME HOME” So a SixtffnrYear-Old Bride Epit omizes Result of Wedding to 3f>- Year-Old Greensboro Man. Lumbertoir. Xov. 19.—“1 didn’t do nothing but cuss him out and come home,’’ replied Mrs. P. T. Harvell. 10-year-old bride to the question) as to why she left her 65-year-old husband, a Greensboro man. a few weeks ago. The marriage of Mh - s- rlarvell, who was Miss Ada Gurganus of Ros ndale and now of Clarkton. B’.aden county, to Mr. Harvell, who is the father of eight livintg children, took dace at Elizabethtown a few months ago after a very brief courtship, which was the result of an adver tisement appearing in a Danville, Ya., newspaper and copied in so na.ny palters throughout the United States and Canada that the adver tiser received IK answers a day. Mass Gurgamis answered the advertise ment and Mr. Harvell came to her home on Saturday, the marriage be ing performed the following Tuesday, witnessed by a large crowd. The ceremony was performed —in the Bladen county courthouse. The couple went to Greensboro to ive, and according to s he disappoint ed bride’s own statement he did not have a home to which to take her, but carried her to the home of his daughter. It soon became evident, so -he claims that her husband could not support her, or at least did not attempt to try. “He did not have any clothes, except the ones he was mar ried in, and they were bought on a credit/’ she charged. As soou as the bride’s father earned of the circumstances, he wrote to a friend in Greensboro to bring his daughter home. The hus band decided to come, so they came back to the old fire-side in Bladen. The mother decided she would go hack with them and make a personal investigation. Asa a result of the in vestigation the mother brought her daughter back to the old home where she is happy and contented. Mrs. Harvell says she is through with old men. “There are too many good looking men for me to stay with that old man,” she stated. “I have a’- ways heard that it is better to be an old man’s darling than a young man’s slave, ‘but I’ll take the young man every-time,” she concluded- | Tango May Be East Gasp iri Rhythm But Visitors Shun It. Paris, Xov, 23 —o4 s )—Dancing mas ters. and especially dancing mistress es, have decreed that the tango must be danced; that it is the last gasp in rhythm and the poesy of motion. But the decrees are lost on most of the vis’tors to Paris. Even French-, men decline it. Spaniards and South Americans make a majority of the dancers in fashionable clubs and cases when the tange comes on. This is especially true at afternoon dances, when most of the participants are not in formal dress. Street clothes and the tango do not go well together, and it can not be done at all in Oxford bags. One American girl who refused the tango at a tea party laughingly apol-1 ogized: “I have given it up. I have decided that it could only be danced with some man one is desperately in love with and should be done on a secluded verandah in the moontlight. It is too hard to stage it properly.” i The Sermon Was Needed. “Tomorrow night,” announced the evangelist. “I am going to talk on ’Liars.” Now I want all of you to look up the -seventeenth chapter of Mark before that service.” • f Next evening he called for a show of handfc of all those who had read the seveftteenth chapter of Mark. ISfore than 200 hands went up. “My sermon tonight will be direct ed to those who held up their hands,” the evangelist began. First let me i tell you there is no sevCtneetenhe,3)c tell you there is no seventeenth chap ter of Mark.” < Eighty-five years ago today the 4 Michigan Southern railroad was op- < ened to Adrian, Mich. ■©'J W 0& WRf' | « A. ■ |bß| x-.-k -11.,, ■ Ulll M HB " H ■ * ■ r »B9Kif • ' . «■! 19;..

T.ie information developed "in yes terday's paper through the medium cf | Brock Barkley, its alert Raleigh cor-1 respondent, of prospective elect rificn-! tinn of the Norfolk Southern lines, is j information that is calculated to e'.eo trify, also, the people of two states — of North Carolina, a large territory.of j which that railroad now serves, and of South Carolina, a large section of which it is proposed to serve. It was known by people of intimate rela tion with Mr. Duke that for several years past he had l>een investigating the possibilities of linking the Norfolk , Southern with his interurhan system, j to development of connections of tre- i mendous importance. The disclosures i of the day confirm belief that in pro jecting extension of the interurhan lines from Charlotte to Winston- Salem. ultimate inclusion of rite Nor folk Southern into the scheme had been determined upon. Consolidation of the Piedmont & Northern and the Norfolk Southern would create a rail road system that would serve indus trial interior Carolinas and the sea board territory as well. It was the original intention of the promoters of the Norfolk Southern to bring it to Charlotte and carry it on to connec tion in South Carolina. Charlotte was reached, the road penetrating in to the very center of the city, and then financial contractions caused a halt. The company found its ar rangements for money held up and further extension of the line was aban doned until opportunity should de velop for a new source of financing. Hope in that direction had been cen tered on the Duke interests and now, it appears, this hope is to be realized. The proposed plan would bring the Norfolk Southern into connection with the Piedmont & Northern at Char lotte, where it would benefit by the extension of the Piedmont & North ern through Concord, Salisbury, Sal isbury, Spencer and Lexington into Winston-Salem, as the main branch in trunk line connections. Later, the Atlantic & Yadkin, running from Sanford to Greensboro and Mount Airy may be of absorption, to adjust ment of a troubled situation for that -State white elephant. Naturally in cluded in the scheme of extension would be the carrying of the interur ban lines from Gastonia into South i Carolina points, thus covering the manufacturing and agricultural dis tricts of the-two states. Then back of these consolidated conditions would be the new power—white coal —of which the Southern Power Company ■ is a manufacturer in abundance. With ! electrification of the combined railroad j properties, the Duke interests would ; come into operation of the most ad vanced system of railroads in the na tion. Incidentally, there might be in clusion of Shelby on the main line; if nojt that, the Cleveland 1 county center of industry i£ quite sure to be ad vantaged by albrancli line, t Materialization of this great scheme of the Duke interests—of a great rail road development visionized by James B. Duke—will prove quite the great est factor in two-stares development that has yet been imagined. It will be a mightier force in promotion of prosperity than any project that could have been contemplate*] for this section of the country. Naturally, Charlotte would be the hub from which the spokes of the new’ system w’ould radiate. Char lotte would ,be the administrative head quarters, with all which that implies. And 1 that would be just another one of the big things that have come to Charlotte nnd just another one of the bigger things tlmt are in the making. I NEGRO PHYSICIAN BEATED ORDERED TO LEAVE TOWN Civil Liberties Union Takes the Mat ter Up With Governor and British Consulate. New York, Nov. 21.—The affair of Dr. S. J. B. Collins, a negro physi cian of Farmville, N. C., w’ho was severely beaten by a group of men who he states w’ore K. K. K. regalia, assumed a new aspect today when it became known that the American Civil Liberties Union had entereed in to the matter with proffers of ass:st ance both for legal and investigation purposes. The Civil Liberties Union, from its New York office, made public' the fact that it has taken up the case with Governor McLean, Mayor Malvin Horton, of Farmville, the British Consul at Wilmington, N. C., and Dr. Collins himself. The Un s on, which is a national organization, has attor neys and investigators in several North Carolina cities. Dr. Collins was taken from his au tomobile on the night of September 28 and whipped. His assailants or dered him to leave town. Instead of doing so, he appealed to Mayor Hor ton and to GoVernor McLean. • Gov. McLean referred him to Sol’citor Jesse Davis, of New Bern, who is now’ investigating the case. Dr. Col lins, who is a Jamaican Negro, also advised the British Consul at Wil mington.* The Consul there stated that he considered the matter of such importance that he reported it to the Consulate. General and also requested information and aid of Mayor Hort<j>n. Although Dr. Collins st ; ll lives in Farmville he has been undisturbed of late. He states that for him to leave town w’ith two years back debts owing to him w’ould be financially disastrous Virginia Signs Earl Neels for Two • More Seasons.
