Star Lee . tnrer iPara'de On Opening Day. Next Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock Lexington's second Chautau qua, a splendid band of the Swarth more circuit., will swing into opera tion, with the opening program con sisting of a lecture by Dr. Lincoln Witt und a concert by the boy choir of Boston. The entire program this year is. new, with the exception of Dr. S. Parkes Cadinan, one of the greatest lecturers on the American platform. It is the consensus ot opinion of all. who have seen the pro gram this year and compared it with that of last, that Lexington is the gainer this season. Among the star attractions are four great lecturers, Dr. Cadman, Dr. Thomas E. Green, Dr. Lincoln Wirt' and Prof. Wal ter Rauschenbusch. The latter takes the place or Dr. N. McGee Waters, who recently died. He is professor of church history in the Rochester Theological Seminary, and a speaker of reputed great power. The opening on next Wednesday will be preceded by a big parade, which will begin at 2 o'clock. The Erlanger band will head the parade, followed by a procession of autos. The full details: of the parade will be announced in next week's Dispatch. The final meeting of the guarantors will be held tonight at eight o'clock in the court house, to receive the re port of the ticket selling committee and apportion the tickets unsold among the guarantors. Last year all the tickets were sold, and this year they are going still better. Anyone who wishes a ticket and has not seen a member of the committee would do well to telephone Mr. J. F. Spruill at once. The program for the six week days is as follows: First Day Afternoon and night, lec tures by Dr. Lincoln Wirt, "The Con quest of the Arctic," and two concerts by The Choir Boys. Second Day Afternoon, Rosani, "Price of Jugglers," and concert by Victor's band; Evening, concert by Victor's Band.

Contracts were let last week to the Fisk-Carter Construction Company, of Greenville, S. C, for the erection of eighty new bungalows, a fourteen room hotel, a schoo: building and an addition to the Y. M. C A. building at the Erlanger; Work is expected to begin within a few days and will be pushed to as early a completion as is possible. The Dispatch sometime ago announced that eighty new bungalows would be built, with, the view of dou bling the output of the mill, by run nine dav and night ! The hotel. Y. M. C. A. addition and new school building are further developments of the plan of expansion agreed upon at that time. The hotel, or inn, will contain 14 rooms and will nil a need that al ready exists to afford home facilities for those connected with the mill who have no family ties here. The new school building will be an exact du plicate of the up-to-date brick build ing now at the village and will con tain 4 rooms. The addition to the Y. M. C. A. will be twice the present size. It will contain a modern gymnasium and an auditorium. The exact equipment of the gymnasium has not been de cided yet, but that 'it will be a dandy Is a foregone conclusion. The new bungalows will be located on the recently purchased property on the left of the, National Highway and in the nearbyilwheat field. The houses and barns oa the Grimes prop erty will be moved across the road, it is understood. This will be the first step preparatory to the new work of construction. All In all this is the largest piece of work for Lexington since the build ing of the Erlanger mill several years ago and will add several hun dred more people to that progressive village, which will in reality be a considerable town when the new houses are completed. Messrs. Chas. and Milton Erlanger, of New York, owners of the mill, and the engineer, Mr. J. E. Sirrlne, of Greenville, S. C, were here last week and went over all the plans fully and let the con tract to the Greenville concern. WIND, BAIN AND HAIL. ERLANGER BEATS SPENCER. Big Storm Tlslts County Wheat and Fruit Destroyed River and Creeks Overflow Banks. Davidson county was visited late last Tuesday by one of the severest storms in many years. Wind, rain and hail combined to do much damage In different parts of the county. A se vere hailstorm crossed the Yadkin River In the upper part of Boone town ship, swept on through Arcadia and into Midway before its main force was spent. Along the banks of the Yad kin, about where South River enters that stream, hall stones were picked up that weighed a half pound. In sev eral places chunks of ice larger than hen eggs fell freely. Mr: Lindsay Hlnkle, a well known farmer who lives near Welcome, went out to take in a cow and was struck on the fore head by a hailstone, which felled him o f'e ground tnd rendered him prac tically unconscious for some time. The skin was peeled from his head and he suffered considerable pain, but was able to come to town next day. On one of Capt. S. E. Williams' farms near Muddy Creek twenty window panes were knocked from one house and nine from another. Roofing was destroyed here, with large holes knocked through at places. All through this section the growing fruit suffered severely, corn was torn to shreds and the wheat, all ready for the harvest, was broken and tangled until what of it will be saved must be mowed and raked up. The storm In which the hail occur red missed Lexington, but many peo pie from here were engaged In watch ing the cloud, which was one of the most angry ever seen by local citizens. Shortly after five o'clock heavy rain began to fall here and lasted until nearly seven, when it gave way to a gentle fall. At several times the wind PrRELT personals: Home Boys Get Revenge on Railroad ers, Through Great Pitching by "Bill" Evans. The Erlanger baseball team, plus "Bill" Evans, or vice versa, secured sweet revenge on Spencer Saturday afternoon, when they walloped the visitors soundly by the tune of 8 to 3. They were merely returning the favor the railroaders handed them on Wed nesday, when they licked the B. V. D.'s at Spencer, 13 to 0. The outstand ing feature of the game here Saturday was the sensational slab work of the A. & M. speed king "Bill" Evans, who heads the Morganton pitching staff this year. Evans fanned nine of the visitors and had them at his mercy throughout the entire game. Only In the ninth did he evince a desire to let them have a show, when they shoved two runs across, but he whiffed two of their best batters and the third out rolled to Wheeler at short. Er langer made six errors and the visi tors live. However, several of the errors credited to tne locals wouia have gone for hits had the infielders not been working so desparately to get everything that came within jumping i each. Erlanger started off the fireworks in the very beginning, when Ollie Mc Quaig, lead-off man. doubled and came home when Honeycutt sacrificed. The game rocked along until the fifth, when Bruce Trexler tripled and scor ed on a local miscue. Erlanger came back in the sixth and added another. It was. in the seventh, however, when Culberson, the visiting pitcher, was given his punishment. Hard and clean hitting gave Erlanger six more runs this inning. Adams, who led off in this inning with a single, made the third out when he hit a pop fly on his sec ond lime at hat. Beside pitching won. derful ball, Evans was the batting The Coinings and Goings of Lexington and Davidson County, Folks. Mrs. Nichols, of Asheville, is visit ing her daughter, Mrs. George I, Hackney.
