Faucett Killed as He Was En ' tering His Home. Mr. w. J. Faucett, who lived alone on Dairy street, in the southwest ern suburbs of the city, was struck and killed by a. bolt of lightning during a severe storm Saturday evening. It is supposed that he was struck as he was inserting the key in the lock of his front door. The bolt left a hole in. the hat of its vicim and seared his forehead, making a wound like that a bullet would inflict. -. A neigh bor discovered the dead body lying on the porch early Sun day morning. Coroner Wood and Dr. W. M. Jones, county superintendent of health, were called in. The splin tered weather-board by the side of the door -and the other evidences, in cluding the singed hair and seared flesh of the body, made an inquest unnecessary. ' 1 Only '' the circumstances under which Mr. -Faucett was killed enabled those who found the body to deter mine the tJme of his death. He left the home of Mr. W. P. Thompson, n's cousin, about 7 ; o'clock and said he was going home. The key which he had inserted in the lock of the door had dropped and caught barely in the notch of the key-hole- showing that he was stricken before he really had time to more than siart to open h's house : - Mr. Faucett was a widower with out children, his wife having died about two years ag6. . He had liv ed in Greensboro about eight months, coming hero from Mebane at the solicitation of" his cousins, Messr. James F. and W. P. Thompson. He old , his property in Mebane and bought an interest in a grocery bus iness west of thte city. He had .sold his interest in the store, however, prior to his death. Mr. Faucett died possessed of a considerable amount of property. j The body was carried to Long's chapel, Alaimance county, far burial Monday. Board of Education to Hold Annual Meeting Monday. The annual meeting of the county board of education will be held Mon day, at which time Superintended Foust will submit a report pf the past ; year's work and plans for the ensuing year will be outlined. The committeemen for the various school districts will also be appointed. Un der a new law passed by the recent session of the legislature women are now eligible to serve, and it is very probable that the board of educa- tion will name several women to serve on district committees for the coming year. The board will also appoint an attendance officer for every township in the county in compliance with the new compulsory , school attendance law. f The law provides that every child between the ages of eight and twelve years shall attend school at least four months each year, and it will be the duty of the attendance officer to see that this law is obey ed. The attendance officer will al so take the school census. The city commissioners have ap pointed Chief of Police Ira B. Ise- ley school attendance officer for Greensboro. Miss Margaret Yates Dead.
