The- Thaw tragedy seems to
have been about a woman arid the
chances are that it will develop
that she was not worth the sacri
fice. Men seldom kill each other
about good women Durham Her
ald. To which our esteemed con
toutemporary, The Post, adds:
These are facts stubborn facts
at that, but what of the woman
it she is to blame and is not worth
the sacrifice? ( Is she not the real
criminal?
That's right, gentlemen, stone
the v woman and do not censure
the man.. This appears to be the
popular method of handling these
matters. It's the same old story,
in a different form, which has
been handed down from genera
tion to generation since the day.

me and I did eat."
Te the Missionary Field.
The following is taken from the
society column of the Charlotte
Observer:
- Miss Laura Coit, who is beloved
the length and breadth of the Old
North State, and who has been
secretary to Dr. Charles Mclver,
of the State Normal and served
the State with such distinguished
ability, has decided to extend her
sphere of usefulness, become a
missionary and go to Korean fields
for active service in the Master's
vineyard. She heeds the Master's
last request and forsakes home,
brother, sister and mother. Being
a lineal descendant of John Elliot,
the missionary to the Indians who
gave the greatest treasures of the
old world to the new, during the
early colonial days, and coming
from a long line of pious, God
fearing Puritans, it is not surpris
ing that this young, accomplished,
gifted woman should hear and heed
the Macedonian cry. She will be
associated with Mr. and Mrs. J.
Fairman Preston in foreign fields.

Accident at North wjlkesboro.
It is reported that Mrs. Jo.
White, a bride f a few months,
about 26 years of age, suffered a
very singular and perhaps fatal
injury at her home at North
Witiesboro, Monday afternoon,
during a thunder storm. She was
sitting in ber room when light
ning struck the house. It tore
through the roof and ,in turn
struck a large picture, which was
hanging on the wall. The picture
and its heavy frame were hurled
against Mrs. White with terrific
force, inflicting serious injury. It
appears that the lightning which
wrought such havoc never touched
the woman. Winston, N. C, dis

men-have resided for some time.
According to Hill's story Bur
gess and his wife drove by his
(Hill's) house in a buggy. Not a
word passed. Burgess reached
for his pistol, but Hill was quick
er with his shot gun and fired
first, killing Burgess instantly.
Hill-brought the gun with which
the deed was done to Monroe with
him when he came to surrender,
and also a number of loaded shells.
Mrs. Hill told her husband this
morning that Burgess had assault
ed her and threatened to kill both
her and Hill if she tuld Hill of it. i
bhe states further that it is not
the first time Burgess had at
tempted the crime, but she was
afraid to tell her husband foi fear
that Burgess would carry out his
threat. When Burgess attacked
her again she resolved to defy the
threat and inform her husband,
and did so. Hill had started in
quest of Burgess when he drove
by the house. Hill is 30 years
old and the couple have two small
children. Burgess is 40 and leaves
a wife and six children. Both
are farmers.
Hill talks freely, of the tragedy
and does not seem in the least un
easy as to the outcome. He will
be given a preliminary hearing
July 9th. Special to Observer.
