Judge Midyette Reduces Bond On
Charge of Assaulting Miss Eva
Tart.
George Dlckerson, Franklin county

land E. Midyette yesterday in the
rWake County Superior Court to re
i view, the finding of probable cause
agaihst^hlm by a Louisburg msgls
, trate on a charge of an attempted
; criminal assault on Miss Eva Tart,
pretty Franklinton mill worker.
) Judge Midyette approved the de
jcision of the interlay court in find,
jing probable cause but reduced Dick
erson's bond from $1000 th $360.
Miss Tart, looking very fresh and
pretty, told Judge Midyette all about
|the case. She was calm and. clear
headed on the witness stand and
? gave back quick answers to the suav
{cross-examination of Ben Holden. of
? Louisburg. She was a very modern
> type of girl v.ith' bobbed hair and
full of freedom from excessive mod
esty or embarrassment,
j She tolj) Judge Midyette all about
|her relations with Dickerson and of
{the alleged attempted assault which
occurred a few days after Dlckerson
gave her rival, Erma Perry, of Frank
linton, an engagement ring.
| Once she startled the court with her
j frankness. Mr. Holden was questioil
jing her about indignities which she
swore Dlckerson paid her. He asked
{her about the dress she wore. He
' asked her about her underclothes
j which she said Dickerson threatened
I to tear off.
"I don't exactly know the color of
the bloomers," she said brightly.
"I've got them on now. Do you want
to see them?"
The court was silent and Holden's
"No" stopped threatened laughter.
The defense counsel had a large
number of witnesses sworn but after
Charlie Barrow and Frank Preddv,
mill workers, testified to conversa
tions with the girl, Solicitor W. F.
Evans suggested that the girl be put
on in the Interest of time. Following
her testimony,' Judge Midyette an
nounced his decision.
Mies Tart testified that she went to
ride with Dickerson one night last in
August. He drove into the country
about two miles from Louisburg and
stopped his car. She testified that
he practically forced her to go to ride
with him. When he stopped the car,
she said, he told her she would have
to have intercourse with him. He
tcld her that unless she did he would
leave her in the woods all night.
"If I can't get you by morning
I'll have you so nobody else will have
you," she declared he said.
She stated that he tried to pull her
out of the car but she beat him off.
Then he tried to pull her Into the back
seat of the car and finally forced her
to the back seat and forced her into
a reclining position. She declared
that he put hla hands under her clothes
and threatened to pull her bloomers
off unless she would take them off,
She testified that she resisted cut him
on the forehead and bit him on the
[leg. Finally, she said, after 3 o'clock
' J
, he drove her home.
On cross-examination she admitted
that she did not tell the whole truth
about the affair until a week later. She
also admitted that she met Dlckerson
to talk It over at Diamond's place near
Loulspurg on the River Road. She
admitted that her mother had had a
warrant sworn out charging Dlcker
| eon with carrying a concealed weapon
prior to the alleged assault.
Barrow and Preddy testified that
they asked Miss Tart about the cause
of a tight between Dlckerson and her
brother after the alleged affair, and
that she said Dlckerson did not harm
her.
The hearing was marked by a num
ber of legal arguments by opposing
council.

gram in charge measured fully un to
the requirements.

E H. Malone and M, S. Davis made

bers presented their guests.
Jim Allen, after paying a high tri.
bote to the beautiful and industrious
women of Franklin County and the
great work they are doing in these
j Demonstration Clubs, introduced Mrs.
T. H. Dickens, who in turn introduced
the speaker of the evening, speaking
ot Mrs. Jane 8. McKimmon as being
known in all the farm homes and oc
cupying the biggest job In the State.
Asserting that women have a big job
Mrs. McKimmon told in detail what
the job is and the importance of it.
She said that' Seventy-live per cent of
the women have to keep house for
some one at some time and thought
they ought to know how to do it. The
girls should be trained. She then
showed how the Demonstration clubs
train the girls. Referring to condi
tions when man has been trained for
his work in life and marries a girl
who has had no training she said there
was no reason to wonder at so many
shipurrecks on the matriminial sea.
Mrs. McKimmon told of a woman and
her flock of chickens, the care and at
tention given to cause the chickens to
grow and lay and then compared this
with the home in which apparently no
attention, certanly not the right kind,
wus given the children, and made a
plea that the children be given a
chance. She told of the advantages of
kitchen arrangement, and home eco
nomics and stressed the fact that the
biggest thing to teach a woman is to
plan her time. Mrs. McKimmon stat
ed that the spirit la the big thing in
the home.
The musical numbers by Misses Van
Ende, Professor of Violin, and Mls9
Leonard of Louisburg College, was
greatly enjoyed and added much to
the completeness of the afternoon.
The entire program was greatly en
joyed by the large number of members
and guests present.

first practice was held Wednesday
I'ternoon with the same number nl
men attending.
Coach Hook1 is facing the task of re.
building a complete team for of last

mains. He has two valuable mendn
?Toss" Wilder & D Yarborough of last
> ear's subs Taylor has played guard
foi the last two years, but there Is a
probability that he may be shitted to
tackle this year. Dick Yarborough
played tackle last year and should
prove a valuable man at that position
C is year. "Poss" Wilder will be call
ed upon to fill Quint Johnson's shoes
i.t center, but "Pose" can hold his own
against almost any opposing pivot
n an. Two guards and twe ends ar<
needed and for these positions Coach
Il(Ok has Griffin and Wilson 1924
Scrubs, Torn Harris, Lin wood and Ben
Gupten new men for the guards and for
the ends there are Fuller, Egerton
Mills, Cook and Sledge. It is impos
sible to pick anyone for these places.
Ihere are also out for line positions
Perry. White, Yarborough, Morton,
rnderhlll, Sheartn and Newell.
Coach Hook is more fortunate as to
Iho backfleld for he has tour veterans
out. Captain Beck. Allen, Williamson
and Yarborough. This quartette will
be light but speedy. "Rabbit" Allen
will be called upon for end rune and
to receive paasee. Williamoon should
average over forty yards in punting
and he Is an accurate passer. Beck
acd Yarborough will be depended on
for line plunging and a great deal ot
the defenae work. This backfleld will
p esent a combination to any oppoalng
team and should go far towards keep
ing Loulsburg on the winning column.

WALLACE THE MAGICIAN COMING
To Play at Graded School Auditorium
! l udcr Auspices High School Athlet
ic Association.
"Who is Wallace?" you ask. Why
mam, where have you been hiding? He
is known all over the South, as the
clever magician who catches pigeons
l.-om the air, rabbita from nowhere,
and other animals from everywhere.
And about the time your eyes stop
[blinking, quick as a flash a flock of
Itiucks come quacking, and before you
can say "scat" to a cat those self same
ducks have gone glimmering into
space, ether, nothingness, nil desper
andum. GeewhilliJcens.JjsJ he makes
things happen in a hurry.
In the old days one thought a sleight
of-hand performer sort of a seventh
wonder when he could produce a live
rabbit from a borrowed hat, but Wal
lace rolls up his sleeves and the pig
eons come flying, apparently from
thin air. Maybe he has some sort of
radio aviary station in Plgeonland.
Anyway, it Is a beautiful act, poetic
In conception, marvellously mystify,
lug in execution, and charmingly en
tertaining all the way through.
Wallace's performance Is different
from all other magical entertainments.
He carries a stageful of beautiful par
aphernalia, a lot of live birds and ani
mals, a genial personality, a bralnful
of droll wit and the knack of putting
over his humor in a way that makes
friends for him everywhere. His fi
nale Is remarkable, introducing one of
the most spectacular illusions ever
seen, called the "Super-Vanish Extra
ordinary." In this effect a miniature
aviary and menagerie of animals and
birds and a beautiful lamp, all disap
pear In the twlnkliug of an eye. The
tables upon which they were placed
are then taken apart tor examination
and not a trace of the pretty birds
and animals can be seen.
You will be mystified, puxzled, tick,
led, thrilled, charmed and made happy
In the two hours that Wallace Is in
town. If you miss that show, you'll
regret it all your life. Don't forget
the date at the High School Auditor
ium next Monday, Sept 28, 1925, at
7:30 p. m.
The performance Is being presented
In Loulsburg In the Interest and un
der the auspices of the High Schobl

The fireworks expert that is here to
fire the mammoth fireworks show to
be held in connection with the fair
stated today that since the war the
manufacturers of fireworks have been
able to procure better chemicals, and
as a result are now able to make big
ger and better fireworks displays.
The Ohio Display Fireworks Com
pany, that is to present the show here
has taken full advantage of being able
to procure better chemicals. This
company has some of the best chem
jists in the country working at their
j laboratories. The chemists are in
j structed to arrange the chemicals in
the shells so that they will be bigger
and better and also will contain nov
el features that will be recognized a3
' distinct features of this companies
originality in the making up of their
programs.
j During the vj-ar fleworks were used
to a large extent as flares to light up
'No Man's Land. A.11 of the research
!w uk carried.on then has been embod.
1 led in the making of bigger and bet
ter fireworks displays,
j Repeated efforts on the part of var
;icus fair committees nnd heads of
'amusement enterprises to find some
jform of entertainment that will be.
satisfactory to all has resulted in the
| contracting of a fireworks show,
i which has proven to be one form of
[ entertainment that is pleasing to all.
i With this thought foremost, the Sec
jretary has contracted with the Ohio
' Display Fireworks Company to pre
sent a gigantic fireworks exhibi. on
'at the Fair.
I Fireworks shows have proven to be
one of the easiest forms of amusement
to arrange so as to take care that
'everyone in our cosmopolitan audien
jces are both pleased and entertained.
The beautiful color effects, the
fbrlght lights, the cannon like reports
| and the various beautiful numbers
that are created, tend to make a fire
works show the most popular fonu of
entertainment that one is able to pro.
cure.
Fully 135 shells will be exploded the
first night and nobody can afford to
miss a single night as the programme
will be changed each night. A full
programme lasting fully an hour of
beautiful color effects in fire will be
seen. "
The Secretary is in receipt of a
wire from the Manager of the Keystone
Exposition Shows stating that arrange
ments have been made with the Sea
