Webber, of Sal :sbury, was thd oldest one present. J. T. Wyatt was the next oldest. Air. AVebber was called upon and had, to make a little talk, and then the whole house arose and give him a big cheer. Hen. John L. Randleman, one of the best lawyers in the United States, introduced Venus to the large crowd and made a nice talk about Venus be ing the well known newspaper writer and that this was Venus of Faith. Then the crowd rose to their feet and gave Venus x tlie biggest three cheers by clapping their hands you ever did see, because most of them had been rending bis Items for several years. Here are the names of some of the Odd Fellows Venus talked with: G. A. Fisher, G. A. Yarber, T. A. Dennis, Will Smith, J. L. Randleman, Ed. Ry an, W. C. Gtfrrett J. B. Webber, W. E. Hippert. AV. M.

Blackwell, of Con cord. This was the best meeting that Aâenus has attended in some time. Janies A. Kluttz, of Cabarrus coun ty, was in Faith January 18th with home raised Tony apples. People in his county says he is the largest Tony apple grower in the county, and if you donât believe it ask R. D. Good man, county Agent, of Rockwell, un der whose instruction** hs is raising those fine Tony apples. Effie Culp, of Gold Hill Route 2, Arthur Culp and B. C. Dry, of No. 7 township, called to see Venus Jan uary 18th. AAMiile they had to come by Faith to gc>t to Salisbury on ac count of the new road being built. Happy says tie ate Ills last water melon on the first dayâof the year, and calls on Aâenus to beat it. Who Can beat him? Mr. and Mrs. John A. Peeler have been married nearly 50 years. They will soon celebrate their golden wed ding. Venus just got a letter today from a reader of his items who wants to sell a saw mill outfit, good as new for 88,000 and one old bedstead over 100 years old. A letter received today from Kan napolis says: Dear Aâenus. Your salve has completely cured my piles. A family on South Shaver street, Salisbury, sent for a dollar jar of ec zema salve today. Âť Frank Nance is kept busy repairing automobiles every day. < John I). A. Fisher has a wind mill that keeps him supplied with pure' fresh water the time. It also supplies the water thrit goes all through the residence and kitchen of M. G. M. Fisher. This is their own private water power. J: D. A.

AAâe notice in the Concord Tribune, that a new railroad will be built from South Carolina to Durham, N. C. If they would turn out from China Grove I and run along with the granite belt by Faith to Salisbury their fortune would be made hauling granite. A big business firm in St. Paul, .

AâENUS. k . % GILYVOOD. â ; Captain Bradford took his Gilwood team (badly crippled byâthe absence of Forward Seaford andl Guard How ell) and defeated the AAâinecoff "Blue Devilsâ 17 to 15. It was a hard 1 fought game. The guards, Burrage and Carpenter, for AA ineeoff. played a spectacular game, but didn t make any fdney plays, ; while Bradford of Gilwood, rushed through for a goal with an overhead ! shot and also won favor for making would-be points out of existence, be ing very active. F. Howell played a clean game all the .time. Misenheim er, center for AAâinecoff, played a rug ged game with Hartsell, of Gilwood, both being well matched and shone all through the affair. Barrier also i played a good game, as did Phillips, his partner at forward. Joe Bradford, for Gilwood, played the cleanest game of any man on the court. Ctnven was familiar with his nice overhead shots for good count. The game, was rather slow at times. F. C. Dorton has given up hjs job as a farmer and has found a new job : n life insurance. A tenant house belonging to J. ,M. Bradford was burned last Friday. Miss Virginia Goble visited Miss Annie Graeber this week. ' 1 James Goodman, of near here, is in a critical.

STATE TROOPERS ARE ' CHARGED WITH MURDER He T d in Connection With Death of Woman During Battle at Farm House in New Jersey. Flemington, N. J., Jan. 22.â UP) â As the result of the death of a woman during an all-night battle at a lonely farmhouse in the town of Jutland, twelve state troopers were held here today on charges of murder. Two other troopers and two agents of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals were accused as acessories. The battle occurred during an investi gation of a complaint by the society that cattle were underfed. The warrants were issued last night after the coronerâs jury had found that Miss Beatrice Meaney, who, terrified, hid in a closet, met death âin an' unwarranted, atrocious and unlawful* attack on tâiie home of her brother.â Miss Meaney and her brothers, Tim othy and James, barricaded themselves in the house after James had been shot in one knee by a trooper. The twelve troopers accused testified that tâiiey fired their guns during the 12- hour seige, during which gas bombs also were used. Twenty-four troop ers were present. IJEEâS LONG LOST LETTER LOCATED Note Written In 1870 Is Discovered In a Discarded Trunk. Blue Ridge, N. C., Jan. strange coincidence occurred here when a letter written by General Robert E. Lee,was found in Lee Hall after having been lost for twenty seven years. The letter was written to Mrs. Cornelia Adeline AA T eb'b, Oaks, N. C., in 1870, it remaining a treasure in the family until 1900, when it dis appeared. A search was made, but all in vain. It was never seen again until a few w.eeks ago it was found in an old trunk in Robert E. Lee Hall at this place. This being the first year of the existence of Lee School, it seemed very strange, indeed, that the letter should come to light there. The trunk in which the letter was found had recently been brought from Oaks, but the letter was not known to be in it, AAâhen the owner, S. H. AVebb, was informed of the-recovery of the letter he exclaimed, âHAâJiy I have looked â for that for years, jit will stay here in my pocket as long as I live.â The contents of the letter have not yet been disclosed. Lessons by Wireless. The Hague, Jan. 22.âSchool les sons by wireless have been instituted by the Netherlands minister of public instruction for the children tof barge men. These children live all the ' year round on barges and consequent ly are always wandering from place to place, which gives them no oppor tunity to attend school. The Sesquicentennial Stadium in Philadelphia, with a seating capacity of 150,000 is by far the largest in , America. THE CONCORD TIMESâ NORRIS TELLS HIS STORY OF KILLING OF DEXTER CHIPPS Noted Fundamentalist Pastor Takes Stand as Last Witness for De fense. Court Room, Austin, Texas, Jan. 21. âAfter Dr. J. Frank Norris, fundam entalist Baptist pastor, had told his story of the killing of Chipps |n the pastor's office, last July I7i the defense rested in the Norris murder trial here today. Defense witnesses have occupied five and n half days in presenting to the jury Norrisâ evidence on his plea of self-defense. The State promptly began its re buttal at 3 :30 p. m., its first rebuttal witness being I)r. Clarence Wisecup, a dentst of Thorndale, Texas, who corroborated a part of Mrs. Roxie Parkerâs testimony. Mrs. Parker was the Stateâs sttjr witness. : A preacher's tears mingled with the recital of the Chipps killing as Norris ended the defense case with his personal story of the tragedy that occurred in his office last July when Chipps went there to protest against Norris' attacks on Mayor H. C. Meachan, of Fort AAâorth. During his ânarrative of the actual killing Norris wept and was under such apparent. emotion he told his story with difficulty. He testified he shot Chipps because iie believed Chipps was about to kill him. He described how Chipps came to the office in an angry mood after lie had telephoned he was coming up to kill him. He shot, he snid, only after Chipps had wheeled about, and was coming at him with ,hjs on his hip pocket. The pastor hfeld a handkerchief to his face at times. He had a cough and his voice at times was husky. The packed courtroom was tense during the recital. The State probably will close to morrow, but the attorneys do not ex pect to start arguments until Monday. There is a i>ossibility of lengthy legal debate over instructions to the jury on "apparent dangerâ and similar points raised in the trial. HORSES IN CALDWELL ATTACKED BY DISEASE Forage Poisoing is Said to Be Due to Eating Molded Corn Or Dam aged Feedstuff*. â Lenoir, Jau. 22.'âA number of ho rises in Caldwell county have died from a strange disease ''during the past few days, according to p. M. Hendricks, county agent. This dis ease fteemfi to have been more pre valent in the Hudson community, according to reports. The same epi demic has covered practically all western North Carolina and has reached into South Carolina. County Agent Hendricks has been investigating the disease, and finds that it is a kind of forage poisoning or generally known as blind staggers and is\ caused from molded corn, damaged or immature feed stuffs. The disease is 1 not transmissible from one animal so another, but Is very apt to occur among horses, mules and sometimes cattle which have eaten this molded or immature feed. Smutty corn silage, shredded fodder, corn stalks or other damaged feed harbor this fungus matter which causes the disease.' In McDowe 1 county and in Hen derson county a form of vaccination ; is being given as a preventive, ac cording to reports sent out to the ; press.

Charlotte, Jan. 22.âPointing to a general improvement in prohibition conditions in the entire country, R. Q. I Merrick, administrator for the North Carolina and AMrginia districts, AA red nesday declared that much progress is ; being made in the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment. âAVhile I ave been in my present place too short a period of time to say with any certainty what is hap pening in this district, I believe we are making progress,â he said. The administrator was in Charlotte con ferring with agents from the western district of this State. âProhibition i is a slow process. Naturally it can not be accomplished in a day. AVhen ; the eighteenth amendment became a law I said that in 25 years the coun try would be dry.â That there is less drinking is the belief of Mr. Merrick. As proof he points to the improvement of conditions in the slum sections of the larger cities. The Bowery, New , York, was cited as one example. âIn the old days ope wouldnât have dared to walk in that section. Today there is no danger. Social workers told meU that there was all the difference in the world.â Among the more wealthy people, Mr. Merrick thinks there is an im provement, too. âThereâs more talk about drinking than formerly but not more drinking,â he The home brew craze of several years ago, ADMINISTRATORâS NOTICE.

The case of J. L, Ross against Dr. Addison Brenizer, of Charlotte, iu which the plaintiff asks damages in the sum of $25,000 went to the jury Friday afternoon. When court recessed at : noon one mQre lawyer was to speak and Judge John M. Oglesby was to deliver, his charge to the jury. It was expected the jury would get the case about four oâclock. Operations which the defendant had performed on him in Charlotte in 1923 form the basis of the complaint. It is alleged in the complaint that the defendant told the plaintiff that he w-ould perform the operation for hernia, would assure and guarantee the plaintiff's permanent cure, and that after an anaesthetic had been ad ministered Dr. Brenizer turned the ac tual operation over to an assistant, not named in the complaint. The complaint alleges that the de fendant âcarelessly and negligentlyâ allowed some other to perform the op eration âwhich amounted to nothing but butchery of the plaintiff.â* It al leges further that the body of the plaintiff was badly swollen after the operation and that drugs and purga tives were used to force the bowels to act and that the force of the purga tives or strain on the intestines caus ed âthe intestines of the plaintiff to tear loose from the wall of the plain tiffâs abdomen to which they had been carelessly sewed and caused intestines to tear loose from stitches that held them fast to the walls of the plaintiffâs abdomen, thus tearing holes in the plaintiffâs intestines.â It is further charged that a second operation was made âin an effort to locate the plaintiffâs trouble and re pair the damage doneâ but on account of the plaintiffâs bloated and swollen condition âthe second was a failure and the defendant himself considered it hopeless to save plaintiffâs life and âthereupon carelessly, unskillfully and in an unprofesional manner sewed the walls of the plaintiffs abdomen to gether.â The complaint alleged that the oper ations left the âplaintiff in an almost helpless conditionâ and that he now has to wear a truss of âunusual size.â Further, that his disability is almost total and that he is deprived of means of making a livelihood. More than 20 witnesses appeared in the case, including numerous physic ians who declared in their opinion the operations were performed in the most approved manlier.
