It need hardly be laid that every effort will be made to bring the Mor ganton contingent on. Charlotte feels considerable and quite justifiable pride in the way the Horner lads drill, and from all accounts the Morganton institution is up-to-the-minute in this respect. In consequence a competi Texas, April 10, for Rouen, France1, was torpedoed at noon Saturday off the Scilly Island4 according to a Cen tral News dispatch today.

The French steamer Europe, from Barry for St. Nazarie with a cargo of coal, was torpedoed by a German sub marine Saturday morning near Bish op's Rock and sunk says a Lloyd's dispatch from Penzance.

Mother and Wife Disagreed; He Drank Carbolic Acid. Hickory Special, 1st, to Charlotte Ob server. Adolphus McGuire, aged about 35, died at his home in Highland last last evening just 18 minutes after a self administered dose of carbolic acid, about two tablespoonfulls of the dead ly drug being swallowed. Physicians who were summoned reached him just after he had passed away. The deceased was a hard-working man with a family, holding a position with the Martin Furniture Company. He quit work there last evening, tell ing his superintendent that he would be back the next morning to finish up a small job, the shop not running on Saturday. On going home it seems that he found his mother and wife haing some trouble about the children, which according to reports has been going on for some time. He ate supper and then took the acid. Talking freely to a friend after hav ing committed the deed, he expressed himself as being tired of the trouble which he had stood as long as he could; that he was prepared to die and willing to lo so. He then gave his watch to one of his children and lapsed into unconsciousness. He and his wife were always on the best of terms. Mr. McGuire had been a resident of itickory for a good many years, com ing originally from Davie county with his parents. He was a member of the Highland Baptist church and the fu neral will be held from the home to morrow morning at 8 o'clock conduct ed by Rev. W. N. Cook. The remains will then be carried to Warlick's chapel, Burke county, for interment. He is survived by a wife and four children. ets and was proceeding toward the tons."

Togeth er the patrol boat and the drifter went back toward the Europe, at which the submarine was still firing. Half a mile off from the Europe the Rosevine picked up a boat loaded scale, not confined to competitive drills, although these would be a lead ing feature. The presence of soldier boys adds greatly to the spectacular side of any with members of the crew of the ! patriotic celebration and local en thusiasts are busily at work endeavor ing to ascertain what the chances are of putting on a, military display dur ing the week of the Twentieth. As yet, however, only the barest prelimi naries have been arranged and the details of a possible feature of this kind are yet on the knees of the gods. steamer. The work of rescue was interrupted by three shells from the submarine, which fell within thirty yards of the rifter. Then, apparently alarmed at the appearance of the patrol boat, the submarine torpedoed the Europe, which disappeared in a cloud of steam and coal dust. The submarine carried no number.

Morganton people who have missed the early morning arrivals of the Greensboro and Charlotte paper will read with interest the following from the Statesville Landmark: Taking the early morning train off the Western road has cut off all the western section of the State from the early morning mail delivery as well as the convenience of travel. The Landmark does not believe that the railroads should be compelled to run trains at a loss, even if there is some inconvenience to the public, but inas much as trains Nos. 15 and 16 which are taken off between Salisbury and Hickory, are to be continued between Hickory and Asheville, some of us can't see that the saving of the run between Hickory and Salisbury is so important as to deny the people on this end of the line the convenience of this train. It means a delav of 4 v to 4 1-2 hours on early morning pa pers as well as the convenmce of travel; and inasmuch as trains Nos. 15 and 16 are to be operated between The Late John Bunny. Exchange. Bunny was 52 years old and was born in New York, of English parents Brooklyn. He was educated to be come a priest, but worked in a rail road office to defray his school ex penses. While there the chief clerk advised him to become an actor. "Bunny," the chief clerk is re ported to have said, "you are an aw ful thing as a clerk, but you talk loud enough to be a good actorv" - Bunny also worked in a store. At the age of 19 he went on the stage. During his career of 29 years as an actor he had leading roles with many old-time stars, among them being An nie Russel. He had attained country wide popularity as an actor before he achieved his great success on the screen. His first professional engagement was in "Strangers of Paris," a Be- lasco production, in 1883. He later appeared as end man in several min strel shows and in comedy roles in Shakespearean productions. In the moving-picture world he was regarded, for a time, as the country's Hickory and Asheville, . it might be '.leading comedian. He was said to worth while for Statesville people, and others interested, to ask the corpora tion commission if it isn't about as important to continue the run be tween Salisbury and Hickory, with such connections on the main line as will give good service.
