Speculation as to Meaning of This j
Deal, But No Official Announce-
ment is Made.
A real estate deal of more than or- j
dinaiy interest an 1 in wh'ch the con- j
sideration was far above the average
was tei minat .d yesterday afternoon j
whereby the Southern Railway Com- i
p.iny becomes the owner of another I
h:r;e track of land in Spencer, the
s:.me belnj aciiiirtd at a price of
t:'".n0). The property lies in what is
0. 1Kinaily known as the A. li. An
dre as, Jr., diision, and is .Blocks Nos.
1, 2, .'i, 4 an 5, in said division.
This property lies to the north of
the present shops and yards of the
Southern at Spencer and as shown on
the original map ' locks 2, '' and 4 lie
just to the north of the Spencer shops
and are indicated as beinjr within the
piesent far north end of the yard en
closure, facing on Salisbury avenue
to the west and First street to the
north. Blocks Nos. 1 and 5 are shown
as ljing across First street from the
fi st insntioned blocks and facing:
First street to the south. This prop
erty was conveyed by A. B. Andrews,
Jr., to the Georgia Industrial Realty
Company and was purchased from
this latter company yesterday after
noon by the Southern Railway.
Just what this purchase means has
not been officially given out but spec
ulation is that it has to do with sev
eral big plans of the Southern at
Spencer. Or.e of these is the erection
of the additional immense Bhop an
nounced several weeks ago, and the
otter ja.,tb4t it, means the moving of
the Soencer passenger station to a
point facing on Salisbury avenue. It
pic.ably has something to do with
both proposed plans. At any rate
it indicates that much improvement
and enlarjement is to be undertaken
by the Southern.
The transfer of the above proper
tv has been fully made and the pap
ers weie recordtd in the Register's of
fice last night.
Transfer Partially Explained.
ft was learned from Spencer later,
though not officially, that the South
ern has really been the ovvner of the
property in question for some years,
and that it was in the name of the
Georgia company, which is really a
holdinir concern for the railway. The
transfer of . ted is made to the South
ern Railway Compnny, however, for
some puroose, and it was learned that
this land was originally, intended as a
sue for the Spencer station. How
ever, it may be desired for both the
new shop l uilding and the station.

SALISBURY ASSAULTED
Struck Over the Head With a Blud
geon by Fred Hill of Winston
Salem at That Place An Old
Grudge Said to Have Caused the
Attack.
Winston-Salem, Oct. 3. While his
father, Jake Hill, a Winston-Salem
horse trader, was arguing with Bob
Massey, a horse trader from Salis
bury, at the city lot last night, Fred
Hill, also of this city, is said to have
slipped up beTTnd Massey and struck
him with a bludgeon inflicting. pain
ful and perhaps serious wounds on
the head. Massey was at once taken
to the city hospital and given medical
attention. Reports from the institu
tion this afernoon indicate that he is
resting very easy and doing about as
ell as could be expected.
kJcL Massey told the police that the
TTy trouble all grew out of grudge
'f against him by Fred Hill's father,
Jake Hill. , It was of several years'
stand'ng. Some years ago, according
to the police, Massey was a member
of the" pohce force at Salisbury and
had occasion to arrest, Jake Hill.
Yesterday he came ' to the city to
trade some horses. Jake Hill saw him
and, it is said once began to hurl
abusive language at him and curse
him. Massey said he told Hill that
he wanted to have nothing to do with
him, but before words were well out
of his mouth, he was struck from be
hind. Fred Hill escaped following the
fracas, but was arrested at 1 o'clock
this afternoon by Patrolmen Black
Jburn and Wall on the corner of Sev-
r ennth and Cherry street. He is being
held without bail pending the recov-

The American People Will Be Called
Upon to Come to the Relief of the
Starving Thousands, a Five Mil

Asked.
Washington, Oct. 3. The (rrcatest
American relief campaign to be un
derdertaken since the organization of
the 'Belgian relief commission was
launched today by the American com
mission for Armenian and Syrian re
lief. An exhaustive summary of the
whole Armenian and Syrian situation
was made puhlic and will be sent to
min sters of 120,000 churchss all over
the country and to many leading
citizens. A fund of $5,000,000 is call
ed for to relieve 1,000,000 destitute,
exiled and starving Armenians and
Syrians scattered broadcast over Tur
key, Persia, Syria and Palestine. The
appeal declares that of nearly 2,000,
0O0 Armenians originally in their na
t've country, three-quarters of a mil
lion have been massacred or have died
of wounds, disease or exhaustion since
the war began.
The state department, through ur
gent negotiations, recently, secured
Turkey's consent to extension of Ar
rr.erican relief provided it is distri
buter' by the American Red Cross and
the Turkish Red Crescent. Today it
was announced that the ail ed block
ade had been lifted to allow passage
of the supplies. October 21 and 22,

reached at present since Turkey's con

this latter section, the appeal de

even more terrible by restrictions of

Turkish railroads, by the exportation
of supplies for the Turkish armies
and by the destruction of other sup

Yom Kipper or tht Day of! Atone
ment occurs tomorrow and will be ap
propriately observed by the Jewish
-world. This occasion is the most sol
emn one of the Jewish calendar. " ,
The Day of Atonement (Hebrew
name, Yom Kipper) falls on the tenth
day of the month of Tishri, corres
ponding to October 7 of the current
calendar. A special service the even
ing before ushers in the solemn occa
sion, which service is known as the
"Kol Nidre" (All Vows), So called
from the opening words' .of the Intro
ductory prayer, i This ; introductory
prayer, is noteworthy, among other
things, for the: profoundly beautiful
melody to which it ia traditionally
chanted. Arranged for modern ' ia- '
strumentation, the Kol Jtidre melody
now finds place oa various symphony
programs. , . '
The Day of Atonement itself is tne
great White Feast, the culmination of
the penitential days inaugurated by
the Jewish New Year. The Bible ia
several passages designates it as the
Sabbath of Sabbetha. In ancient days
its observance was characterised by
elaborate priestly ceremonial and sac
rificial rite, as described in detail in
Leviticus XVL All this pomp of
ritaal disappeared with the downfall
