Foy ft Sbemwell Receive Charter to DeTelop Hydro-Electric Power In State of Alabama. One of the largest charters received locally in some time has been granted by the secretary of Btate to Messrs. J. Ed Foy and Dermot Shemwell, for the development of water power on Mnsser Creek, in Alabama." The char ter calls for $50,000 paid in capital and $100,000 is the amount authorized. These gentlemen are understood to nave strong financial backing by Northern capitalists. Mr. Shemwell, when seen by The DlsDatch. stated that It was their in tention to invest a hundred thousand dollars in improvements in the Ala-1 bama business, which is located about a mile from the town of Columbia. The plant formerly had been owned by private Individuals, but recently the members of the well known local firm have secured entire rights. An en ,41re new plant and new dam will be erected at an early date. Contracts have been signed for supplying cur rent to the towns of Columbia, Ash lord and Headland.. The home office will be at Lexington, with a superin tendent in charge , in Alabama, the business being conducted under the laws of North Carolina." The present site is capable of developing seven hundred horsepower, in this panic ular portion of Alabama the develop ment of hydroelectric power is in its beginning and apparently has a bright future. A Model Ice Cream Factory, Mr. J. Clarence Grimes is this week completing the installation of a mod ern ice cream factory in his new build ing to the rear of the Lexington Bot tling Co. The new building is -separated from the old by the driveway used by the trucks, which will deliver both Coca-Cola bottled in one plant, and Grimes' Ice Cream, made in the adjoining plant. The new ice cream factory is mod eled along the most approved and modern lines and fashioned to the last word in sanitation. The cream used will be brought direct from Bel mont Dairy Farm, one of the model dairies of this section. When it leaves the dairy cans It goes into the pas teurizing plant and comes out into vessels that have been sterilized by boiling steam and then cooled In the ' up-to-date cold room. After the milk leaves the dairy it Is touched by no part of a human body until It is put In to the mouth of the consumer.

Work in the first grade at the gra ded schools was suspended Monday for two weeks, on account of the epi demic of measles which has spread to all parts at the town. About forty per cent of the pupils in this grade al ready had the measles or were held at - home on account of quarantine. The little folks, however, will lose no time really for the two weeks taken oft now will be made up at the end of the regular school year. A re markable tact is shown by a poll of the grades remaining In school. Of the pupils now attending only seven have not previously had measles. Two years ago an epidemic of the same disease made a clean sweep among the young folks, and after this Beige is over there will be little danger to the schools for several- years. From seventy-five to 95 per cent of the pu pils of the higher grades are In reg ular attendance now. The enrollment affected by suspension of the first grade is 120, with daily attendance usually running about 110. The action of the epidemic has been rather sporadic, breaking out rapidly for a few days and then subsiding on ly to come again. A thing that is causing some alarm, however, at this time is the reported appearance or whooolng cough and mumps in ana around Lexington. One case of whooping cough was put under quar antine in the southern end of town Sunday, and quite a number of cases are reported from Silver Hill town ship. It is also reported but not yet verified that mumps has made Its appearance in town. Whooping cough following measles or combined with it is dangerous. DESTOJT TOTES OX BONDS. Two Issues for $1G,600 Each Come Before People of That Town Today For Better Streets. Triangular Debates Arranged. A debating triangle for the Debat ing Union of the University has been formed with Lexington, Asheboro and Thomasville. The question this year is: "Resolved, that the govern ment should own ana operate the railways systems of the United States. Constitutionality waived." The de bates will be held on the night of Fri day. March 30th, and each school will contest on neutral ground. Lexing ton's negative team will meet Asne boro's affirmative at Thomasville, while Lexington's affirmative debaters will contend with the Thomasville; negative team at Asheboro. The Thom asville affirmative team and the Ashe boro negative team will hold their de- The people of the progressive town of Denton will vote today on two bond issues, each for $12,500. The first issue in the minds of the people has to do with the construction of better streets and sidewalks. The people of the town are beginning to realize that the future growth of Denton dependB very largely on the matter of streets and 'sidewalks. .Newcomers are loam to locate in any town that has not made some provisions for securing better streets and sidewalks. Denton citizens in Lexington for court have expressed the belief that this bond is sue will, carry by. a healthy majority. The Denton folks are also very much Interested at present in the extension of the Carolina and Yadkin Valley Railway to Troy, to make connection with the Norfolk Southern Railway. The town is asked to take $12,500 stock in the project by proviamg tnat mucn money through a bond issue and this matter will be decided by ballot to dav. -There is no doubt, say leaders of the town, that the extension and improvement of this road would mean the revivification of Denton and would make It a point of much Importance. It is understood that the owners of the road contemplate, rebuilding the line from Denton to Thomasville, putting down heavier rails and that the line will also probably be built from High Point into Greensboro. The road is now electrified between Thom asville and High Point. Its sidetracks reach the furniture factories of High Point and the road has proved of in calculable benefit to manufacturers there. If the road were extended to Greensboro and then at the other end from Denton to Troy, it would be one of the leading competing lines of the state and would improve freight rates to many points in this section. It Is our understanding that the street bonds stand the better chance of car rying, but a hard fight will also be made to have the railroad bonds vo ted. , Denton has not a town of any con sequence within twenty miles. It Is surrounded by a very fertile country and there Is yet . much fine original timber growth and much second growth that Is becoming' valuable within easy distance of the place. The extension of the road through by El dorado would further add a fine feed er. . . School Board Decide The Time Has Com When Facilities rot Be Enlarged Favor Present Site. The school board "of V, e town of Lexington has put itself sguarely be hind the movement for enlarged city schools. At its meeting lost week the situation was fully discifssed. The board took cognizance -of the fact that the rooms were overrun With children to such an extent that even the com pulsory law could not be Enforced for lack of room to accommodate recalci trant children. They knotr that there is no chance of enlarging and revising the school buildings satisfactorily. Sooner or later a new school Building must come, so they have decided that it shall be sooner. -W The question of location was fully discussed and it was voted that the present site was the most favorable from every standpoint that was avail able. Action was then. taken looking toward the erection of a new building on the present site. In this new build ing will be a large and well-equipped auditorium, a thing Lexington has long been in need of. ; The present auditorium has from time to time been heartily condemned through the press by leading citizen's,' because it has on ly one exit, that at the front and down a winding stairway. ' In case of fire this might easily become a death trap. This trouble irill be eliminated when the new building is put up. The Dis patch 1b not informed as to when work will be begun on the new building or buildings, but it will very likely be at such time as to insure the comple tion if possible by the beginning of another school year.. In a recent 1s sne of The Dispatch it was pointed out that a fifteen cents levy voted several years ago for school purposes had never been levied, and this may be put into effect to pay for the Improvements that will be made, en.

Corporal Willis Vestal Wilson, mem ber of the Lexington RiGes, died sud denly about 4:30 o'clock Saturday morning at the base hospital of the North Carolina brigade at Camp Stew art, El Paso, Texas. Tie young sol dier had suffered an attack of mumps and abscesses developed and death came with appalling sudden ness. The body was embalmed and prepared for shipment. Monday fun eral services were held at Camp Stew art, attended by the commanding offi cers of the regiment and many of the soldiers beside Company A, which in a body paid its last respect to a mem ber who enjoyed the confidence of all his fellows. Corporal Wilson was a splendid young Christian gentleman, clean and attentive to duty. He was a member of the Baptist church, but before going away with the militia had been a regular attendant and worker at the Presbyterian chapel Sunday school at the Dacotah mill. Corporal Wilson is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Duff Wilson, who live on the Cotton Grove road near the Patterson lumber plant Father, moth er and five brothers and sisters are left to mourn their untimely loss. The body left El Paso Monday night, ac companied by Corporal Klndley, of Company A, who comes as the military escort. It is expected to arrive here tomorrow night or Friday and the funeral services and interment will be at Center Hill, near Cotton Grove. Rev. W. A. Daniel will conduct the funeral. This death comes with peculiar sad ness at this time, since witnin two weeks more the period of border ser vice will be over and all the boys are coming home. This i3 the first death in the ranks of Company A since they went away. Lexington Girls Beat Spencer. The Lexington high school girls' basketball quint had an easy time de feating the five from Spencer at the Armory Friday night, notwithstanding the fact that their opponents were much heavier.

Uda Riggsbe was Martin Wilholte Gets Five Tears for Burglary Cheney Case Probably Heard Today. Davidson county superior court convened for the spring criminal term on Monday, with Judge B. F. Long, of Statesville, on the bench. The first day's proceedings consisted largely in hearing cases in which submissions were offered. Martin Wilhoite, or the young man who gave that as his name, was sentenced to five years in prison for burglarizing the home of Mr. J. F. Deaderick, in December. Vanzy Car rick, colored, entered a plea of guilty to having too much whiskey on hand. Vanzy plead guilty to the same charge in recorder's court, but didn t seem to like the two months' road sentence imposed, so he appealed. Judge Long gave him the same two months, but it may be that weather conditions are more to Carrick's liking for road op erations. A case that consumed considerable time Monday afternoon was that in which Luther Tussey, a young white man, was charged with technical as sault upon a woman at the depot. Tus sey is alleged to have been under the influence of whiskey when the act for which he was convicted was commit ted. Sentence had not been passed at presB hour. Probably the most interesting case on the entire criminal docket Is that in which G. R. Cheney, a young white man of High Point, is charged with manslaughter. Cheney was driving an automobile, while alleged to have been drinking, and a High Point woman was killed when the car was over turned near Thomasville. This case will likely be heard today. Cheney brought with him the car to which the accident occurred, intending to use it to demonstrate to the jury how the affair happened. He left the car in a local garage Monday night, but when he went for it yesterday morning it was gone. The young man who was at the garage said a stranger came in and drove off the car Monday night, and that he supposed at the time the person was the owner of the car. Ef forts were being made yesterday to find the machine, which had not been located up until early in the after noon. . . ln the game rery minute for the Tlsi- girts ware -e&tertHlnad ay the locals of local interest as about tbeHfcmton and on their return home were en brothers, three regular sort Of giants, thusiastic in their praise of Lexlng- with Mr A Fmnlr Rrntnn Biitwrin- ton hnsnltalltv.

Dear Davidson County Farmer Girls: ' This is the season of the year when we are all busy making our plan for the summer. Our fathers are looking 1 forward to bigger and better crops than ever before, but they know in order to have them they must exer cise thought and care in the planning. Our mothers, no doubt, are busy doing their spring and summer sewing, so -( that if needed they too can be ready ' to offer their services to help along the growth of the tender green plants in the gardens. Farming may seem like drudgery to those who do not know about it, but not so to us for we have learned to love the watching and tending of the "green things growing." To us it is a joy to plant a small seed, watch it come up, and then to be able to protect it against its en emies of weeds and grass and insects until it yields its harvest. If we watch our fathers' crops with interest, then think of how much more we would enjoy Watching a crop of our own. Farmer girls, did you ever try having a garden of your very . own not yours just to claim, but yours really and truly? Did you know that over 5,000 girls in North Carolina did that last year and that they made a clear profit of $88,000.00? Some of them used their money to bo to school. others to buy shoes and clothes and the many other things that girls need money for. Now these girls not only made money, but they learned a great deal about gardening, received train ing In pne of the most valuable phases of home-making, and had a happy jol ly summer as well. Don't you think that It would be lots of fun for all of us Davidson county girls to plan to have a garden to do as we please with this summer. We will measure our land carefully so that every plot will be the same size and then we will just race to see who can make the best record. In the fall we will have a big getting-together day, bring our din ners along, talk over the year's work, meet the other girls and boys of the county and have Just a nice social time of it. What do you think about the things? Write me about them and about the plans that you have made. i am loosing forward to our summer together and want us to be sure to make it mean the most possible to us. . duow wis letter to your friends then all of you club together and writs' to - ' -: -m.

Munr-mr'' earnest Now of course we don't want , you to begin if you are the quitting mna or gin. we know that this will mean some work during the time of the year when the sun is shining tbe ; hottest, but what red-blooded farmers girl minds some sunshine? What if it does bring a few freckles -they cannot spoil the beauty of a happy healthy face. Come on, girls, let us make this year count. Let us make every other county In this old state .sit up and u.,,.iuc .,i imi uur uaviason gins are doing. We can if we will. Then at the end of the year, we shall not forget to publish names of our lead ers. . I am waiting to hear from you. With the best of wishes to each of you. I am, Yours, "To Make the Best Iletter."
