the abdde of a group of domestic sci
ence co-eds, who were on a little cook
ing voyage and were shipwrecked off
the coast of this strip of land. When
the bachelors arrive, the girls over
hear them exchanging congratula
tions over their emancipation from
woman’s rule and decide to teach
them a lesson. Binging, dancing,
and bright chatter run along with the
plot of the play.

CAPTAIN GILES AGAIN
FORCED TO SEEK LAND
Hit Airpocket Which Sent His Plane
Into Spin—Makes Land.
Los Angeles, Calif., Nov. 22. —
Captain Frederick A. Giles, British
war ace, who set out today from San
Francisco in a transpacific flight to
Australia informed the Examiner by
telephone tonight that he had been
forced back after traveling 500 miles
to sea and had landed near the Wil
liam Randolph Hearst ranch at San
Simeon, Calif.
When about 500 miles to sea his
airplane went spinning into a rain
drenched airpocket and finally turned
upside down, scattered his charts his
foods and his instruments into the
ocean below Giles.
And then in a magnificent exhibi
tion of airmanship, Captain Giles
turned the damaged plane right side
up and making a wild guess as to
direction and sent her roaring back
to the mainland to make a perfect and
safe landing a mile south of the
Hearst ranch at San Simeon, 50 miles
from San Luie Obispo.
“I never expected to make it,” he
said over the telephone from toc
Hearst ranch tonight. ‘‘My center sec
tion bracing wires had snapped; I had
dumped my main gas tanks to lighten
the strain on the broken plane and
the chances were just about zero. But
luck stayed with me. I hit the coast
about 60 miles north of where I
landed and had to keep my ship in the
air for that distance before I finally,
found a landing place at San Simeon.”
He stopped for breath. Even over the
phone, one could catch the tremor of
nervousness that still remained in
that voice after that test —perhaps
one of the most terrifying, experiences
any aviator ever underwent.
SOUTHPORT IS SHAKEN
BY 5 SLIGHT TREMORS.
Patrons of Theater Vacate Building
When Warned After The First
Shock.
Southport, Nov. 22.—'Five distinct
earth shocks were felt here between
6:50 and 7 o’clock tonight The tre
mors were only of slight intensity ami
no damage was done.
• The first shock at 6:50 was only
noticed by a few of those ou tbe
streets and members of the pilots as
sociation who were in their tow r er at
the town’s wharf. Charleo Gause,
leading business man and head of a
large fish factory, felt the first shock
and at once went into a motion pic
ture house and warned the patron*,
who felt another shock as they were
vacating the building. In many sec
tions of the town residents,left their
homes, as the third, fourth and fifth
shocks rattled dishes and windows.
There was no panic In the motion
picture house and this little city by
the sea has settled down to normalcy
following the worst scare it has had
in its history.
Efforts haye been made to account
for the shocks but marine officials
knows of no gun. firing off coast ahd
no blasting has been in process in the
neighborhood.
Shocks Are Not Felt At Wilmington.
20 Miles Away.
Wilmington Nov. 22—Earth shocks
reported at Southport, 20 miles from
this city, early tonight were not felt
here. The report, however, was cir
culated here shortly after the distur
bance was felt. The ocean did no*
give any «igns of a disturbance. The
seas were as calm as though nothing
had happened and the possibility of
a tidal wave was immediately dis
credited. It has not been definitely
established whether the shocks were
caused by the movement of the earth
or whether the tremor was the re
sult of blasting or possibly gun fire
off the coast.
Fenner and Beane Cotton Letter.
New Orleans, Nov. 22.—Liquida
tion in December and transfer of hed
ges in that month to later position
was the feature of the day’s trading.
The market took the liquidation well
until in the late afternoon when
pressure from that source became
rather heavy and prices gave way
selling down about $1.50 a bale and
closing at the bottom. Weather was
good, dry goods reports poor ana
Liverpool was decidedly reactionary
owing to liquidation by London and
the continent. Manchester on the
other hand reported improvement and
the outlook Was called better. The
market got off to a poor start owing
to weak cables and immediately met
considerable liquidation. Liquidation
in December was abserbed by spot
houses and spinners buying against
sales in the late months. Liquidation
in December has been heavy, indica
tions are that there is more to come.
Rumors are current of large tenders
on Friday, first notice day. Market
may therefore ease some further be
fore notices are issued but tbe south
seems to be as much bullish as ever
and the market should acquire an up
ward tendency -M boon as first of the
notices are out of Ihe way.

The tenth anniversary of Rev. H.
Wilson, pastor of the Westminster
Presbyterian Church, was a grand
success on last Sunday afternoon and
evening. It was the winding up on
tfye much-talked about program that
had been successfully going on all the
week. The program Sunday after
noon was a successful knockout. The
pastor, Rev. H. Wilson, gave the his
tory of the working of the Church
since he has been its paaigr,; the
marvelous progress and the many
great achievements by pastor and con
gregation were grand, grand, is put
ting it mild. Elder J. M. Martin,
of Charlotte, was master of cere
monies. A quartet of the Brooklyn
Presbyterian Church of Charlotte
sang beautifully. Also a quintet of
the First Baptist Church. A sweet
interesting solo was sung by Robert
Ilasco. S. C. Boger made the wel
come address and touched on the
friendly relation of the pastor and
himself in the co-operative workings
of the Church’s affairs.
H. L. Caldwell spoke of Rev. Mr.
Wilson as a pastor and he made some
timely remarks. Rev. L. B. West,
pastor of the Biddleville Presbyterian
Church, spoke of Mr. Wilson as a
Presbyterian and preached a
great sermon that evening. The writ
er spoke of Mr. Wilson as an as
sociate pastor and fellow-minister, and .
I will say right here that Mr. Wilson
is one of the finest ministers that I
have ever had the pleasure of as
sociating in pastorial work in these
28 years that I have been pastoring.
He really is a fine man in any way
you take him. Dr. Baucom and Un
dertaker Edwards took the collection,
and there were other splendid fea
tures of the service that we will not
take time to mention here. You ought
to have been there.
Rev. J. T. Newby has been re
turned to his pastorial work from the
conference in Wadesboro to the en
joyment of some of his members. We
wish for him a sweet sail in the*com
ing year. Concord has lost a splen
did minister and a Christian gentle
man in the sending away of the Rev.
A. A. Garven, pastor of the Price
Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church on
Spring street, but we trust he has
been sent to a good place.
The twenty-third anniversary of the
First Congregational Church, Rev. O.
W. Hawkins, pastor, started last Mon
day night, and they have a splendid
program for the week. You will do
well to go out each night.
J. W. Boger, of Chestnut street, is
on the sick list this week, but we
trust he will soon be well and out
again.
Please take out membership in the
Red Cross when the solicitor comes
