THE NEWS-HERALD, MORGANTON, N. C, JUNE 23RD, 1921. H MAY COME TO STATE WITHIN FEW MONTHS President Harding Tentatively Accepts Invitation to Attend Celebration at New Bern. E. E. Briton in News and Observer, President Harding has tentatively accepted an invitation to be in New Bern on the 19th of January, 1922, at the century and a half anniversary of the founding of St. John's Lodge, No. 3, A. F. and A. M:, the occasion to be made a great one by the Masonic fraternity of North Carolina. The in vitation to him was presented this morning by C. D. Bradham, of New Bern, a past master of the lodge, who is the chairman of the committee in charge of the event, for whom an en gagement had been made at the White House by Senator Simmons and Congressman Brinson, these go ing also, the three being a committee appointed by St. John's to invited the President a Mason of high degree, to be present at the great pageant and celebration. " A feature of the event will be that it will emphasize the visit to St. John's Lodge of President George Washington a hundred and thirty vears aeo. .in 1791. the costume of those taking part in the pageant to be of the Colonial type, a duplication of the visit of President Washington to be given. And it is expected to have representatives present from the sixty-four colonial lodges of Masons. New Bern being the home of Sudan Temple of the Mystic Shrine, which now has about 3,000 members and at Charlotte being Oasis Temple, both of these will co - operate in the big event in Masonic life.-. The committee visiting President Harding expressed themselves as be ing greatly pleased with the interest ing and cordial convresation held with the President, whose virtual accept ance of the invitation was given. He examined the program of the pageant carefully, being especially interested in the correspondence between Pres ident Washington and th officers of St. John's Lodge, saymg: "Yes, I would like:to attend. I will attend if nothing arises to prevent me from doing so." And if no pressing public duty arises President Hrading will celebrate in New Bern with the other Masons in 'January, 1922. At the same time that the New Bern event is going on the Grand Lodge of Masons will be in session in Raleigh, and arrangements have already been made for the Grand Lodge to recess and proceed in a body to New Bern to attend the pageant and celebration. The virtual acceptance by President Harding of the invitation will, of course, add a great deal of attraction to the occasion. There was a personal note about the visit of the committee to Presi dent Harding that was home-folksy. Near the close of the talk concerning the proposed visit the President sud denly turned to Senator Simmons and inquired if he had any of that good .North Carolina tobacco that he liked about him. Senator Simmons went to looking for a bit of his plug, and Mr. Bradham reached for his, proffer ing his case with an offer to the Pres ident to take a "chaw," but Presi dent Harding, taking a look at it, said that the brand was stronger than he liked, that he had tried it before. Then going to his desk he produced a plug of his own, telling his visitors that here was the brand of his selection. And so the President and Senator Simmons had their "chaw" of good North Carolina plug, this recalling the days when they were colleagues in the Senate. In urging the President to visit New Bern, Senator Simmons grew very earnest about the charms of New Bern. "Accept the invitation, Mr. President," he said, "and I promise you a seat on a-cozy front porch, at a cozy little' home, with a view of a beautiful river flowing away, the Neuse, a sight that will give you rest and joy." And the President let Senator Sim mons know that the vision looked good to him, and that it was in his mind to enjoy that sight, if nothing arose to prevent it. RAMBLINGS BY THE RAMBLER DOCK HEFNER SHOT IN LEG BY GUARD Morganton Honored. Morcanton has a way of informing her people of certain things. As for instance, for the last montn we nave been staring into the face of placards about spitting on the sidewalk, and now we are being startled by another flashing bit of news. On the back of nearly every jitney in town there is a large sign painted in red letters, and it reads liks this: "July 4th will be in Morganton." Indeed it is a source of gratification and pride to know that the Fourth of July will come to Morganton. We have heard a great deal about that day, and now that these signs have assured us of its visit to out city, we naturally feel a tinge of excitement about us. At last we shall have the opportunity of looking-over &i real honest - to - good ness historical' date like July Fuorth, because it is coming right here in our very own town, so say the red "signs. We naturally" presume' that who ever was born, or whoever died, on July the Fourth will come along with . i j. i i J.: it ana we expeci to nave a oig nine. Let this serve as a notice to all those in the country who may not have seen the red signs on the automobiles that July the Fourth will be in Mor ganton, and as it may not have time to get out over the whole country we cordially invite you all to come in and see it. If it is as old as they say the chances are that it wont know any thing about the new prohibition law, so be sure you come in to see the original Fourth of July in Morgan ton. I suppose you will find it stand ind somewhere around the court house square as most of the other old things stay close by there. Dreaming Time. Dreaming time is back again the time for longing, and wishing, has come again with these hot, sultry days. One longs for the freshness of a creek bank, and the solitude of a shady hut in the woods. Occupants of sweaty offices throw down the pens to lean back in their chairs and mop the perspiration and dream. In an instant the dusty old book shelves have turned into beautiful land of dreams. The broken chairs in the far corner magically becomes a bubbling spring of the coolest- waters, and rocks are built up all around it and moss has grown over them to give it a restful appearance. The wall beT hind ceases to be a wall, but instead it is turned into a vine covered tree, with limbs drooping wearily over the spring. Yes, dreaming time is here and we are all under its spell. The Rambler hates dreadfully to tell his readers good-bye but it must be done. He hates to believe that this is his -last column in The News-Her- i aid for a Jong time. You can't imag ine how he hates it. This is not going to be a weep and wail proposition in bidding a sad farewell. No, not ex actly! It is merely a statement, and a "good-bye to you," that's all. As He Tried to Escape From State Penitentiary Woun ded in Leg. , An Associated Press report from Raleigh of June 20th gave the fol lowing news of local interest: "Dock Hefner of Hickory, serv ing a sentence in the State prison in . a' !il j 1 1 . ! -II I connection witn me muraer oi uienn Lippard, was shot in the leg by a guard last Tuesday night when he and two other prisoners attempted to escape from the prison farm, it was learned here today. "Hefner and his companions cut a hole through their cells and made their way to the top of the building. Hefner jumped off the building and started to run, but was seen by a guard and ordered to stop. Failing to obey the command, the guard fired on Hefner, several buckshot striking his leg. He is now inthe prison hos pital and will be out in a few days. The other prisoners were captured. 1:30 t). m. Everybody is invited to be there to hear the State president and others.

AFTER SEVEN YEARS WE ' AGAIN MAKE DOLLARS Coinage of silver dollars has been resumed by the mint after a lapse of seven years and the work of replacing the two hundred and seventy-nine million standard silver dollars taken from the treasury during the war to sell to Great Britain has been begun. Since late in March treasury offi cials said, approximately 20.000.000 silver dollars have been coined. In the' same period corresDondiner amounts of silver certificates were is sued and federal reserve notes, and treasury certificates securing them, retired. This process, officials said, would continue for the next five yearsr until tne treasuryrs reserve of silver dollars is back to its pre-war basis. ihe mint, officials exDlained. ceas ed coining silver dollars in 1914 when the supply of metal purchased under tne coinage act was exhausted.
