. One of the pleasant things for a
newspaper is the announcement of a
ft rat class circus coming and this we
have the pleasure of doing, tor the
Number one Advance Car of the
Downle A Wheeler Shows was tn the
city Monday and themnall army of men
in white overalls and jumpers pasted
every billboard, deadwall and avail
able barn ra and about Lexington
wit flaring posters of wild animals,
petite ladies, fcighaplrked horses, won
derful trained ponies, athletic men
and goodness knows what as. The
kiddies" are thrilled with toy and
the "grownups" gaze at the pctures
and remember the happiest moments
of their happy childhood days. Base
ball is a national sport hut the circus
is the national amusement and It will
never grow wearisome as long as
managers and special ' agents scour
every corner of the globe for new and
strange beasts and snappy death defy
bis acts. ; . . (
The Downle ft 'Wheeler Shows have
grown large through sheer merit and
the everlasting diligence of the man
agement Every act must stand the
most critical test and each performer,
musician, official or attache must be
lady or gentlemen-under all circum
stances or seek employment elsewhere.
This h an iron clad rule with the
Downle and Wheeler Shows and to
this feature they attribute the greater
part of their-wonderful success.
We will publish further details and
all we care to say now Is for the ' Jdd
dies" to eave their pennies and for thy
"grownups" to arrange to go to ths
show and make Che management prove
that the statement "there is nothing
new under the sun," is untrue. The
date for the exhibition here is Friday,
Oct. 3rd. Be a child again and enjoy
the day from the arrival of the first
gaudy train to the loading of tine last

do not come every day and ia good one
like this is not to be missed.

was made. Mr. Burgln toullded better
then he knew, and to him a large pan
of the credit Is due for the celebra

started the "Blr Day." It would be a
' very appropriate thing to have Mr.

liars Water Not Detrimental to Health
Harking back to Lexington's wa
ter supply, which, as The Dispatch
has' stated frequently, the best in
the land, Superintendent L. R. Hunt
ot the water and light-departments,
would have the people of Lexington
know that the "hardness" complain
ed of in the water, is not detrimental
to' health. . The Water and Gas Re
view, the -leading publication of Its
Hind in the country, asserts quite pos
itively that "there are no statistical
data to prove that in general the
hardness of a water has any clearly
defined effect one way or the other on
the public , health." The journal
states that a traveller may suffer
some discomfort from a sudden
change from soft to very hard water
but "the effect of bard waters M real
ly restricted to simple gastric and In
testinal disturbances, which are tern
porary only tn their effect. ' .

There was a very interesting and
enthusiastic meeting In the court
house Monday night for the purpose
of deciding whether Davidson county
would take the 910,000 federal appro
priation for road-building or let it go
to some other county. ThomasvUle
and Lexington townships were well
represented. Dr. J. H. Mock and Mr. F.
H. Lambeth coming over to represent
ThomasvUle. .
There was a long and earnest dis
cussion of ways and means of raising
the money and a plan was worked
out that will result in the expendttur:
of Jjncle Sams money on the Central
highway, running through ' Thomas
vUle, Lexington, Tyro and Boone
townships, from the Guilford to the
Rowan county tine. Uncle 6am re
quires that the townships receiving
aid contribute just twice as much as
he gives and that means that $30,000
will be spent on the 28 miles of Cen
tral Highway In Davidson county.
It ia estimated that 11,000 per mile
will build the road all the way. Thom
asvUle already has several miles in
first-class condition. Lexington town
ship has the larger part of Its road
graded and some of it surfaced and
about half ot Boone township's road
is already built - - s ;

PAVIDSON AND DAVIE WIN.
Yesterday the News & Observer
brought the ' glad news that Davidson
wins a part of the appropriatUon and
that Davie, who had asked for it, also
wins. The News ft Observer says:
iDfcvie county and Davidson county
are the lucky oner." They get a part
ot the United States government mon
ey for building good roads. 10,000
or perhaps J20.000 to Davie, and $10,-
000 to Davidson.
And there is a good reason assign
ed by Governor Craig for apportion
ing 120,000 or t30,000 of the 40,000 to
these two counties, though each Is a
different reason. To one the money
goes because of What a county has
done, to the other because of what
men have dene to have a county out
money in good roads.
With regard to these 'things Gov
ernor Craig, who yesterday announc
ed the apportkjnmentt.saUi "I have ap
portioned tl,tw-ef-tbe Halted States
government good, -roads funds to Da
vie county and may make It $20,000. I
do this because ot the progressive
spirit the people of that county
have shown lit voting ,$175,000 In bonds
for building roads.- It is a small coun
ty and has shown a splendid report
Ham also led to do this because of
the inbsrestithat Mr. P. H. Haynes and
others have shown in road work, being
pioneers tn that line. . The money
which goes to Davie is to be used on
the road between Winston and States-
vtlle and Mocksrille.
I'm apportioning $10,000 to Davidson
county because of the enthusiasm
which Henry B. . Varner and others
have shown In .good roads work, and
In,- recognition ot the splendid work
which they nave done m North Caro
lina and in other states, for good
roads.', They have been enthusiastic
in the work and fought for a bond is
sue for roads In Davidson county.
hope that this money will be so used
m Davidson, that the people of that
county who voted down a bond Jssue
for their own roads will -be led to see
the value of good voad bunding.
Of the $40,000 apportioned by the
federal government to North Caroli
na there has already been 410,000 giv
en for -road building from Swannan-
oa Gap east to Old Fort ' For each
dollar given there m to be two dollars
additional raised for the work, so that
there will be expended between Swan
nanoa Gap and Old Fort $30,000; In
Davidson county 130,000, and in Da
vie county either $30,000 or $60,000 In
making these model roads, In appor
tioning this money to the west Gov
ernor Craig says he does so because
road building costs more 1m that sec
tion than 4n other parts of North Car
olina, and that it goes to sections
without large means or where there
Is needed work to build up enthusiasm
In good roads building.

says: News of a distressing death in
Alexander county this week reached
Statesvllle. Some time ago a daugh
ter ot Mrs. Cornelia Holder of Gwalt-
ney township, Alexander county, be
came deranged and unmanageable. In
a struggle with her mother the girl
attempted to strike her mother with
a table fork, sticking tbs fork In her
mother's knee. The wound made tor
ths fork became Infected and gradual
ly grew worse until Mrs. Holder died
Mils week as a result of the injury.
The young woman who unknowingly
abused and Injured her mother bus
been -nt to tbs state hospital for
the lnnn at Morganton. .
The Status of the Thaw Case.
An exchange summarizes the Thaw
case at follows:
The American people like to make
great ado about nothing. , In the case
of Thaw a New York court failed to
punish him properly, because It al
lowed Thaw's claim of "a brain
storm" when hs killed ths suitor of
his wife. Since then New York jus
ttce has gone out of its way to punish
Thaw Improperly by immuring him In
an insane asylum. When h escaped
and got to Canada, H would have sav
ed a great deal of trouble had the Ca
nadians been left to deal with him as
they ohose. - But the authorities or
New York used every expedient to se
cure his extradition. Finally, the Ca
nadian courts getting urea ot me
wrangling found Thaw a very, unde
sirable cltlsen and ruahed him across
the border luto New Hampshire1. Hers
after a few hours of liberty he was
arrested again. But at last Thaw has
got a federal court to take up hu
case, on a writ ot habeas corpus. Here
At-L . . i n n . l , n
tne oiinsr uaugs. ua oejnwiuuer u,
Judge Aid rich indefinitely postponed
the hearing. This means that Thaw
will he free loom kidnapping by the
New York officers, and secure from
being carried to New York State on
possible extradition papers until the
matter Is heard again tn ths federal
court But it is said that his case
Is not extraditable: Hs has commit'
ted no offense, except ths alleged of
fense of conspiracy while Insane to
escape from Matte wan. unless th
authority's of New Hampshire decide
to arrest him on the score of insanity,
and keep him in an asylum of their
own, Thaw will probably remain free
no long at he keeps out if I orw York
