Clairbone Holmes, son of Mr.* and Mrs. Oren Holmes, of Durham, was drowned in Tar River at Louisburg, Sunday afternoon and was buried Monday in Maplewood cemetery. 1 Monday’s Durham Herald has the following account of the drowning: According to information received here, young Holmes, who was 17 years of age, went in swimming in the riv er near Louisburg in company with another boy by the name of Williams but whose place of residence is not known and other small boys. While in the water Holmes probably in a spirit of adventure and to deciding to test his ability os a swimmer, concluded to go into deeper water. He ; swam out into water which is said to be 20 or 25 feet deep where he became frightened. He was not a good swimmer, it was stated, and went under. Young Williams went to his rescue and attempted to save him but in the struggle of the drowning boy for life. Williams found that he would be unable to save him, and seeing that both of them were in danger of drowning the former gave up the attempt in order to save himself, it was stated, Holmes went down the third time while Williams is said to have gone under the water twice in his effort to save the drown ed youth. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Hall and Mr. H. H. Hackney, of Pittsboro, attend ed the funeral of young Holmes, who who was the nephew of Mr. Hall. I DEATH OF KEMP GRIFFIN.

Tented City in Charlotte Composed of Men and Women of Two Carolinas. The Seventh-Day Adventists are in camp in Charlotte and will continue in annual session until August 31st. The membership, or rather delegates are there from both North and South Carolina. The main tent is pitched on a beautiful hill, surrounded by 84- family tents and tents for the young peoples’ meetings, reading tents and a mammoth tent that houises the records of the secretary, having been moved from headquarters for the purpose and convenience of the representatives there. It was the pleasure of the editor to spend about an hour there on last Sunday in company with Mr. and Mrs. Henry F. Pike, who are there from Siler City. To describe the enthusiasm that it gives one to come into con tact with these good people is impos sible in words. The methodical, rev erent manner and attitude that per meates the whole atmosphere; the brotherly love and friendship is won derful, and on every hand are the strictest evidence that these people love their church and are ardent in their worship. The camp is laid out with care and the arrangement was perfect even to the smallest detail. Water was piped to the grounds and a reservoir of ice cold water was on hand; the living tents are so arranged that all the comforts of a home can be had, everyone nicely floored and are as correct as a household, many of them being adorned with flowers and th ! ns, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T • ". Dickens, is quite sick this morn threatened with pneumonia. M |. L. Wilson and family from W. A. Allen and family ana v/ilbur Clark from Star, and Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Cole, from Pittsboro, all spent Sunday with Mrs. D. A. Clark. Mrs. W. W. Horton spent last week with her parents at Duncan. Mr. Horton spent Sunday in Duncan. Miss Fannie Tutor now of Sanford, spent a few days with Miss Carrie Lee Cross and both spent the week end with friends in Raleigh. Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Ashworth, of Fuquay Springs, spent Sunday visit ing their parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Buchanan. Mr. Purvis Gardner, of Coats, who is here conducting a music class at Corinth, was taken suddenly ill at the home of Mr. Reece Cotten with a severe attack of acute indigestion on last Saturday night. His friends were much alarmed for a while for fear he would die before a doctor could be secured, but this morning he is up and out again. Mr. Ray Cross, of Raleigkh, spent Sunday with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Cross. We had a surprise last Saturday morning down here at Buckhorn, and this morning we are better off by hav ing been relieved of one more “lik ker factory” and at least one, but likely two of its operators, proprie tors and promoters. Deputy Bernard Rosser slipped in all alone from no body seems to know where, came by the plant, passed on up the road and into the woods and in less than 5 minutes, shooting was heard. Then in 10 minutes more Bernard came marching back down the road-in pos session of one colored individual, Les ter Cofield, from over near Merry Siding. The deputy had made his raid single handed and caught. his man with the goods on him. Later in the day Mr. Rosser secured help, came quietly back, cut up the outfit and must have turned out a big batch of beer or liquor, judging only by the high smell of the water that comes down the little branch across the road we have to travel many times a day. We deplore the uncalled for and uninvited entry of politics into oui school problem down here. Let’s for get about politics and questionable policies long enough to go to the polls on September Bth and vote for the thing that means the most for the education of our children. “Let your conscience be your guide.” We witnessed a good, spicy game of baseball at Brickhaven last Satur day between New Elam and the home team, the latter winning by a score of 8 to 5. The Brickhaven team plays at Gulf next Saturday. Sunday morning when Lacy Par tridge went down to operate the flat at Avents Ferry he found the flat on the Lee county side, tipped up, one end of a truck in it, and the other end of the truck under water. It was learned that about 11 o’clock p. m., Saturday four parties (two men and two women) some of them at least, under the influence of liquor, had run their car into the river but in some way got 6ut alive, leaving a partly filled jug of liquor and .a letter con taining a protested check signed by M. B. McKay drawn on the Page Trust Company, but paid by the Bank of Goldston. The truck was from a piano firm in Goldston and bore license number 90902. Mr. J. D. Mclver and his brother Marvin, went down Sunday morning to investigate the wreck. Two men could be seen from a distance but when Mr. Mclver crossed over to the wreck the men disappeared and could not be identified. A wrecking car from Sanford came down to clear up the mess but this did not in any way reveal the identity of the four individuals. This midnight prowling around by both men and women at and near the ferry is not an uncommon thing by any means. Our good people who live near there and have their homes at this place, and who are trying to rear their families in a decent atmosphere, say they are tired of such rot and will find some way to stop it In the past anything our people have set about to do they have found some way to gain their end. —; m 9 m The silent man is more to be feared i than the garrulous chap, ‘ MOTOR TRIP TO WRIGHTSVILLE. News Notes of Interest About People You Know Around Brickhaven. Brickhaven, August 25.—Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Kennedy and Miss Ruth Kennedy will return home tomorrow from a two weeks stay at Washing ton, Atlantic City, and other northern points. Mr. W. A. Griffin, accompanied by Mr. S. W. Womble, of Lockville, Mr. Stroud, of Sanford, and several other sportsmen, will go to Columbus coun ty tomorrow for a week of fox hunt ing. We wish for them a successful, happy time on the chase, even if there is a tinge of envy, mingled with the wish, for what could be more pleasant than being on a chase. Just to think of such takes one back to the memory of the thrilling tales of life in the old south when the colonies were young and fox hunting a chief diversion. Messrs Grady Truelove, Salter Ut ley, W. A. Griffin and Miss Annie Utley returned Tuesday from a short motor trip to Wrightsville Beach. They were accompanied on the return trip by Miss Mary Lee Utley, who has been visiting her uncle, Mr. A. H. Marks, of Acme. To one who has i never visited that section of the state, we may say that such a trip will be worth while. Perhaps a most surprise [ ing thing will be the wide stretches of waste land along the route. Sometimes it would seem we would go miles and miles without seeing a home—just , white sand a few scattering scrubby trees and low undergrowth. It seem ed a veritable no man’s land—lonely and desolate. As a general thing, too, with the exception of those between Fayetteville and Broadway, the crops were very poor, almost a complete failure, due to the heavy rains. There were acres of both cotton and corn that had no cultivation whatever. Another thing, too, that strikes one as being quite a handicap to the city of Wilmington is the fact that one has to pay to cross the ferry into the city. There are two up-to-date, com fortable “ferry boats” that render the crossing absolutely safe. The new “Menantic” can accommodate eighteen cars, but it does seem that the coun . ty and city could devise a plan by which the toll gate could be abolished. Wilmington is a beautiful city, and is destined to become the largest in the state—an honor it held until a few years ago, when Charlotte with its thousands of boosters, carried off the palm, and which is now held by Winston-Salem. Wilmington is proud of its historical back ground and , well it may be, but perhaps its great , est pride is that it was one time the home of Woodrow Wilson—that , matchless patriot and friend of hu manity. Mrs. Cora Boovey and daughters, Misses Alice, Helen and Cora, of Charlotte,, who have been on a motor trip to Chimney Rock, were the guests here Friday and Saturday of Mrs. Boovey’s sister, Mrs. J. H. Ov erby. Zeb Harrington, the catcher for the Brickhaven baseball team, has been enjoying a week in company with a professional ball squad, somewhere ' in South Carolina.

Little Eileen Harrington has return ed from an extended visit with her aunt, Mrs. W. B. Greene at Graham. Miss Hilda Utley is spending a few days this week with Misses Wil ma Buchanan and Louise Luther at Bonsai. Mrs. H. T. Johnkm, of Morrisville, is visiting relatives here. Do not forget the Christian Endeav or meeting at the school every Sun day evening from 7:30 to 8:30. Mrs. T. J. Harrington is the leader for next Sunday—the program the fol lowing Sunday will be conducted by Mr. W. J. Hannon, president of the Society. • m THE ELECTION CARRIES.
