' Karch among the widely scattered de
jcendants of Governor Caswell for his

Caswell Sanfley, of Kentucky, wrote
him a few years ago that he had found
i portrait of Governor Caswell at Phil

csre a copy if it proves authentic,

Whether as the result of more gen
eral prosperity or the better education
In styles of the buying public, coats
and other outer garments for the com
ing fall and winter are distinguished
by unusual elegance. That Is, the fab
rics used for them are appropriate and
beautiful, the lines on which they are
cut are graceful and dignified, and
they are not overtrimmed or freakish
In any particular.
There are several new cloths, In
cluding many pile fabrics, used by the
manufacturers of wraps. Each has
Its own name and it would be burden
some to undertake to memorize them
all. But they are soft, with velvet or
suede finish, . resembling duvetyn and
Bolivia cloth which have made them
selves familiar. Besides these there
are the wool-furs and fur fabrics that
have become important among mate
rials for wraps. All of them are soft
Some clever and charming women,
experienced globe trotters among them,
insist that no. one needs more than
two suits, a good-looking frock or two;
a separate skirt and a small collection
of blouses to dress well enough for al
most any occasion. They confide that
successful 'dressing, with a -meager
outfit, depends upon choosing clothes
very carefully to start with and on
th? possession of smart accessories of
dress, more than anything else. A
plain, beautifully fitted and fault
lessly tailored-street suit may be in
conspicuous, but : It becomes a back
ground for small and exquisite acces
sories that lift the costume up to the
plane of distinction. "Odd vests, col
lars and cuff sof lace, chic shoes and
bags,. just the right collar or.fur neck

The short jacket which has the ef
fect of a cape, shown in the picture,
Is made of a taupe colored fur-fabric
that resembles moleskin and Is quite
as warm and rich looking. The jacket
sets closely to the figure and Is belted
In with a belt of the material that
slips through slides at each side of the
back and front. - It fastens at the
front, holding the garment snugly to
place. To accomplish a graceful wrap
the designer has set in shaped pieces
instead of sleeves to give the cape1
like effect and used j& shawl collar,
widened at the back to further his
aims. He has turned out a charming
and cozy wrap that is warm and dur
able, which can be bought at a price
that Is within reason for the womanrof

The pretty shopping bag is one ot
those which entice us to linger at the
ribbon counter. It is made of narrow,
heavy satin ribbon In two shades
sewed together in strips that alternate
the colors. It Is lined with plain satin
and sewed to a metal mounting with
handles made of the rjbbon. The rows
of ribbon "are stitched together with
corded edges overlapping,"and the bag
is bound with the darker shade. In
the drama of rich autumnal colors
there are deep purplish, reds and glow
ing. nasturtium shades that will make
wonderful bags of this kind. The hat

POINT STRIKE SETTLED
Satisfactory Agreement Reached and
Signed by Committee Represent- '
ing Both Sides In Controversy. .
Hgh PoinLThe labor trouble at
High Point, which has tied up indus
try for the, past six weeks and created
an idle army of approximately 4,000
people, was ended when ; articles of
agreement between employes and em-ployera-was
signed by a committee
representing. the labor unions and the
manufacturers. The settlement of the
differences was made on the basi3 of
the "open shop" principle.
.: The " articles of - agreement signed
provide briefly for the following five
essential points:
1. Admission on- the part of the
manufacturers that union labor ha3 a
right to work without discrimination.
2. Admission on the part of union
workers that a non-union employe has
every right the manufacturers con
cede the union employe. -
3. Adoption of the piece work sys
tem. " "
4. Compulsory arbitration of dif
ferences between employers and m
ployes. 5. . "It being herein and hereby dis
tinctly understood and agreed that
this agreement shall not be under
Stood as any sort or kind of collective
bargaining with either agents, com
mittees or representatives of union la
bor.". It is further agreed that the week's
work shall consist of 55 hours with
pay on this basis. This, in effect,
means that the employes will work 10
hours a day except Saturday.

ers will doubtless go there to inspect
the strange creature that has the
head of a cow and the body of a hip
popotamus. High Point. The settlement of the
labor controversy here is due largely
to the efforts of Governor T. W.
Bickett. The governor came to High
Point ad since that time has been al
most continually in conference with
first one side and then the other.
Governor Bickett stated upon arrival
here that he . had come to remain un

Bullard advised the Faysiteville board
of aldermen that it would be necessary
to submit the bonds for the erection of

the bonds legal. The opinion of the
city attorney is based on the munici

islature. at a session subsequent to
the passage of the Cumberland county
dock law 'and, according to Mr. Bul
lard, annuls the latter.
Jeff Snuggs ' Acquitted.

quitted of the murder on the night of
March 30, lastr of J. H. Bridgers. -
Those who. followed the case from
the night of the jcrlme until the jury
turned Snuggs loose, were free in ex
pressing the opinion that the state
fell down completely in its efforts to
convict. Many were outspoken in the
opinionthat friction between the pri
vate prosecution, Messrs. Douglass
