?avis fired Ave pistol shots at his
wife and three bullets went through
her- head. She was still living late
tiiis evening. Shadrick blew half
the head of his wife off and it fell in
a stove, he says. Others declare it
v. ;;s wrapped in paper and placed

floor without twitching a muscle for
16 hours. Shadrick declares he

i!4 HON OH TO THE 8#TH IMVIS
? IOX.
On Friday and Saturday nights of |
last week, the..pablic was accorded a
rare privilege, in being allowed to see !
pictures showing something -of the
work of the 30th Div. in France.
First let me say that we had a real
treat in the music furnished by Miss
Ruth Hall and Mr. Berkley, and wt
enjoyed it to the fullest.
In the pictures we were made to
realize, as perhaps we had never do
ne before the inestimable value of the
cinema in making history and our
hearts were thrilled with, pride to
know that, among these heroes on the
screen, were our own boys of .North
Carolina and of old Frankliu. And
through the coming years, they shall
live not only in memory, but in the
sight of all who shall look upon these
films.
We are proud that the world should
look upon these men. for we saw no
higgards in these troops, no skulking,
or shirking, they were not driven by
force to do their duty either with ri
fle and pack or witji pick and shovel,
on the tiresome march or in the com
fortless trenches, as they moved to
the deadly battlelihe, "or as they ten
derly lifted and carefully bore their
uounded and dying comrades. In
many there was a reckless nonchal
ance that laughed at danger in some
:? set determination that would not
flinch in the, hour of"peril, ar.d in all
there appeared to be a spirit of cheer
fulness. an utter absence of sulkiness
or discontent. Even after "seventeen
days in the trenches., we saw, in the
j.ictuicd faces, no sign cf unhappi
ncss. And wo are so glad that sofne
of these boys could ne recognized by
their friends. One was especially
plain, lie was a boyish looking fellow
a private I think, ai: 1 1 can imagine
how the hearts of those, who loved
bim; must have throbbed when they
| saw. beneath the battered helmot thai
he wore, that his eyes could stil! ho!:1
j their brave, sunny smile.
I When the familiar figure of our
townsman. Major Boddie was flashed
upon the screen, the cheering and ap
;plause were spontaneous, but re
membered with heartache that li'_
, was soon to pass through an ordeal
. of musl Intense sobering, tor the pic

IKTKRNOOV
Damage to Building* Machinery and
Cotton About $N,1NM) . (Ml? >o Insur
ance? Mutches Left By Gambler*.
Louisburg was thoroughly aroused
on Friday afUynooi* about 3 o'clock
by the fire alarm announcing the fact
that Whitaker's gin just across the
river was ablaze and burning rapidly
Large crowds gathered to assist ' in
saving the liTFge amount of cotton uu
dcr the shed while the Fire Depart
ment, which was promptly on the job,
proceeded to extinguish the flames.
At one time this looked almost in>
possible but the firemen fought with
H bull dog tenacity which soon result
ing in drawing the flames under con
trail, although the entire top was
ablaze when they arrived on the scene
In a short time the ,fire department
had smothered the Are, leaving the
framing intact, though damaged by
the fire. Practically all the machin
ery was iii> the second stor?, in which
the fire started ami is a total loss.
The fire was confined practically en
tirely to the second story in which It
originated. The origin is supposed to
have been matches in cotton as they
were ginning cotton that had been
r tored in the gin and had found cards
and other evidences of gambling
buried in the cotton. The property
is owned by Mr. L. L.. Wliitaker and
was not insured. The loss is estima
ted at about $8,000.00.
