The law seeks to protect the inno cent and virtuous. It stands as the protector of the character and virtue of woman and we must see that the law is upheld in this re spect. The keeping of houses where men and women gather for immoral purposes become a nui sance and a crime against the law. "The law protects the public health as well as the morals. The law: is very strong against adul terated foods and adulterations of atrr kind." .HIS honor then cautioned the Jury in regard to .intoxicating li quors. The manufacture and sale of Intoxicating liquors has grown to suction extent it makes it hard Tor the officers to cone with It.

Marsh, who vas sheriff for two terms, one of the wealthiest and best beloved men in the county, on Sunday afternoon when one of the largest crowds that ever at tended a funeral poured into the city to follow the body of this good man to Cross Creek cemetery, where he was laid to rest. An enormous audience filled to capacity the First Baptist Church, of which he was a member and overflowed into the Sunday school room while many could not gain admission into the building. The services there were short and sim ple. Passages from the Scriptures were read by the pastor of the de ceased, Rev. Joel Snyder and three songs were sweetly sung by the choir, who alpo sang at the grave. A very large number of citizens from Gray's Creek township, where William H. Marsh was reared, was nresent. Men and women who knew him as a boy and loved and follow ed him as a man, came to attest their love and esteem for him who had died a friend to all. Unques- I tionably Mr. Marsh was the most popular man in Cumberland coun ty. His sound business judgment was accepted by all and the devel opment of his farms into an es tate that was larger than any other man's in the county was due to his genius and business leadership. One of the finest traits in Mr. Marsh's life is recalled in his de feat for the nomination for sheriff by Sheriff Watson in 1906. With out rancor, without ill feeling, he threw himself into the campaign to helD elect the man who had de feated him anr? 3'nce that day has been one of the democratic nartv's most loval supporters.

BY WHIT HADLEY New York, April 11. Is the greatest mystery of twenty years, the strange disappearance of Dor othy Arnold, to be duplicated by the sudden disappearance on Fri day, April 1, of Mrs! Annette N. Rankine, social favorite and multi millionaire? ' Has she been kidnaped? Has she been killed? Has she taken her own life? Or has she hidden herself? The best police and private de tectives in the world are trying to answer these questions. Mrs. Rankine is young and im mensely wealthy. Precisely dressed, wearing few, but costly gems, she ordered her chauffeur, Frank Clouting, to take her to 59th street and Second ave nue, a district of poverty, noiee and unpleasant odors Dismissing him, she started oned a beautiful estate at New Ca- foot. Puzzled, Clouting returned to the Rankine mansion at 14 E. GOth street in the heart of Fifth ave nue's "millionaire row." Mrs. Rankine never returned. No word from her has been received. The police say Mrs. Rankine has killed herself. But the police have not found her body, though they have searched everywhere even dragging the bottom of East river. Relatives say she has been kid naped, but they advance no rea- Supreme Court Refuses to Review Case of Haywood Washington, April 11.

Mrs. Rankine is the widow of William Birch Rankine, who in 1905 "harnessed Niagara Falls" with a power company. He piled up many millions of dollars. He died suddenly in September of that year, just seven months after he bad made Mrs. Rankine his bride and sole heir. This tragedy brought great sor row on the young wife. She erect- naan, closing ner tiunaio nome, and went into retirement. Ten years later when her broth er, Benjamin, married Mrs. Mary Grace Mullally, sister of William T. Mullally, head of an advertising agenty here, Mrs. Rankine and her mother moved to New York and took over the magnificent resi dence on E. GOth street. Recently her mother died and this added sorrow transformed Mrs. Rankine from a social light to a heartbroken mourner.

ROTARIANS WILL GATHER TUESDAY BIG CONVENTION From 1,500 to 2,000 Will Pour Into Norfolk Tues day to Attend Seventh District Convention Will Be Greatest An nual Conference Yet Held. BY J. A. PARHAM Charlotte, N. C, April 11. Dur ing the next forty-eight hours Ro tarians between 1,500 and 2.000 in number, representing forty local : clubs in North Carolina, South 'Carolina and Virginia will be pack ling their bags and getting off to Norfolk for the seventh district conference, which will be held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of the coming week, April 12-14. It will be decidedly the greatest gathering of Rotarians ever held in the southeast, in the opinion of Rogers W. Davis of Charlotte, for- mer district governor and at pres- ent chairman of one of the inter national committees and therefore the highest Rotary official in sev eral states. His forecast is sup ported by that of District Gover nor Lewis W. Perrin of Spartan burg and other Rotary leaders in the three states. The prediction is that it will be the greatest annual conference i ever held by the third district in. attendance not only but also in point of an interesting program I including the business of the con ference and the entertainment fea tures. From clubs scattered all over the three states have come reports of unusually large delegations going to the Norfolk conference. For weeks "On to Norfolk" committees in all Rotary cities and towns in the three states have been work ing up the largest delegations pos sible, and it is now practically cer tain that considerably more than 1,500 Rotarians will register for the conference, while it is esti mated that 500 or more of them will be accompanied by their wives. During the last several months Rotarians ,of Norfolk, Portsmouth arid Newport News have been be stirring themselves 'in efforts to make the convention a great event. Their efforts have been directed toward attracting the largest pos sible attendance and also toward arranging to give the visiting Ro tarians the "time of their lives" in entertainment features. Thou sands of letters and cards have been sent out by individual Rota rians of the Hampton Roads cities members of the forty clubs ofi ii-- , tti i to the Carolinas and Virginia, invft more than 80 Pullman reserva tions had been made a full week ago by members of the Charlotte club 57 for men and 24 for wom en and this week the number has been greatly augmented. It is con fidently predicted that when the special Southern train leaves here for Norfolk Monday night it will carry Charlotte Rotarians and their wives to the number of 100 or more. The same special train, which will start from Greenville, S. C, will take large delegations from that-city, Spartanburg, Gaff nev and from Gastonia. N. C, who will be joined here by the big Charlotte delegation and which in turn will be joined by large dele gations from Salisbury, High Point, Hickory. Winston-Salem, Greens boro and other points. This train will be known as the "Buck" Per rin Special, in honor of the dis- who will onen tne j ' xT-fit Tnoortav cuiiveuiiuii i "" , morning, nft,. fhn i rriirn I rn the train. More than a week ago word came from William E. Hermance of Norfolk, chairman of the enter tainment committee, that 1.36G Ro tarians had already officially been renorted as going to Norfolk and still eight clubs had not advised him of the number. The nrosram of the conference nrovides for three full days "of business, inspiration, recreation and pleasure. It was arranged by a committee composed of Frank Sager, Norfolk, chairman; David McCuen. Greenville, S. C; Rogers Davis, Charlotte, and Governor Per rin. The International Rotary Asso- for addresses, wont among ooys will be one of the features of Ro tary activitv stressed at the con vention.
