BROWN'S GROCERY STORE ENTERED FRIDAY NIGHT NO CLUE TO GUILTY PARTIES At some late kour Friday rush;-. R. C. Johnson's store was broken into and several dollars worth of merchan dise taken. The plate class in one of the frjrt doors was removes! and the robbers entered the store through the opening made. Mr. Johnson cannot tell exactly v!:at was taken, but he is certain that four pairs of shoes, two suits of clothes, several shirts, and a suit case are missing. A larje pile of goods was scattered ever the coun ters and it w is impassible for him to tell exactly what was gone, but he sup poses t.:at more was taken than what he has already missed. B. A. Brown's grocery store was en tered the same c-ght it is presumed by the same robbers and quite a lot of cam.ed good) and lamp chimneys taken. Entrance to Sir. Brown's store was forced through a window. It is believed that there is an or ganized band of thieves operating in the county. Within the past four monchs stores hove been robbed at Climax, Staley, Millboro and Liberty. About $150 worth of shoes were taken from a store at Liberty. In connection with those robberies, two negroes have been arrested and placed in jail. Arthur Williams was arrested in Greensboro and lodged in jail here for breaking into W. B. Teapue and Son's store at Staley about a month ago. Fred Hengekin, charged with theft from J. W. Pugh'a store at Millboro, is also in jail having been arrested and brought back from Danville, Va., some two or three weeks ago. As yet there is no clue to the identity of the person or per sons who committed the robberies Friday night - .-.' i ROAD MEETING AT GLENOLA On August 21st, a road meeting w'll be held at Glenola school house to discuss plans for the completion of the road from Randleman to Prog ress.

No lives were lost, but several fires were started by the bom bardment. - Fighting in the West During the week there have been various' minor engagements on the western front Attacks with artillery and hand grenades have been made with no heavy damage to either side. The armies on the western front are strongly intrenched and only the fierc est of fighting' with terrible loss of life call' break the deadlock. --' ( .' Transport Sank A British transport loaded with men for service in the Dardanelles was b7 a German submarine in the Aegean Sea. About one thousand lives were fast This is the first Brit ish transport to be hit by a torpedo from, a -German submarine. Forcing the Dardanelles .The Allies are Teboubling their ef forts to force the Dardanelles in or der to. give assistance to Russia. The Turks are putting up a stiff resist ance and the Allies are making little progress though with a fearful cost of lives. Eastern Campaign In the land fighting a crisis has not been reached in the present stage cf the Eastern campaign. Grand Duke Nicholas,' the Russian commander-in chief, will not be .able, to insure the safety of his army until the menace presented. by the operations of Field Marshal von Hiridenbufg in Courland is removed. In the Bausk district of Courland the German army has been driven back toward the AA River, while Kovno is still stemming the Ger man tide. The .chief struggle, how ever1, Reenters In the. region north of the .Neimeo. ' Between the Narew and the Bug the .German drive evidently is makfng-some headway, although. Pe trograd claims that the attacks have been repulsed after heavy , fighting along the middle Bug the Austrians and Germans have forced several crossings. . If the Russians plan to hold the val uable transverse railroad they must soon check the Austrians and Ger mans definitely. From the standpoint of the Allies the near Tastern situation is clearing with the assertion officially inspired from Nish that Serbia's attitude is not irreconciliable. Former Premier Venizelos, having been summoned by King Constantine, is expected to be once more in the 'saddle tomorrow, Rumania is becoming more deter- IminoH in hop refusal in rprmit nas- 0 munitions to Turkey, which Imiintrv Is ppnortflH to he shnwincr con- rppn ovep .- attitude of Bulgaria, DR.

FRANK LYNCHED ANGRY MOB TOOK MURDERER OF MARY PHAGAN FROM PRIS ON AND HANGED HIM TO A TREE A small but well organized mob took Leo M. Frank from the Georgia prison farm at Milledgeville Monday night, brought him 100 miles almost within sight of Marietta, the former home of Mary Phagan, the girl he was charged with killling, and hanged him to a tree. No shots were fired. A Short History of the Celebrated Case . Leo M. Frank was found guilty of the murder of Mary Phagan on Aug. 25th, 1913, and sentenced to bo hang ed. He was the superintendent of the National Pencil company in At lanta, in the basement of which the girl's body was found by a night watchman on the night of April 27. Repeated attempts were made in the State courts to obtain a new trial for Frank, but without success. Ef fort! to obtain a writ of habeas cor pus in the Federal district court at At lanta and finally in the Supreme Court of the United States also were futile. On the night of June 21, this year, two days before the. date set for the prisoner's execution, he was . moved fro.n the county jail in Atlanta and lushed to the State prison farm upon orders from Governor Slaton, now re tired. The next day the Governor an nounced that he had granted a pe tition made in Frank's behalf asking that his death sentence be commuted to life imprisonment A few weeks ago an attempt was made by J. William Cresn, another convict, to kill Frank by cutting his throat Frank's condition was seri ous for some days, but it was announc ed recently that he practically had re covered. HEALTH WEEK FOR.

APPLICATION BLANK Better Babies Contest To be held at the court house in Asheboro, Randolph County, North Carolina, September 3rd, 1915. Parent's Name Address .' Name of Child in Full Age in Months at Time of Contest . Sex THE SORT OF GIRL TO WAIT FOR The girl who is unkind to her moth er isn't worth a tinker's dog-gone, This isn't written in any part of the bible, but it is written in the history of thousands and thousands of misfit homes. If one of you boys run across a girl with her face full of roses; with eyes that would din the luster of a Colorado sky, and with a voice that would make the song of an angel seem discordant, and she says as she comes to the door: "I can't 30 for a few minute; I've got to help mother with the dishes," don't give her up. Stick to her like a burr on a mule's tail. Just sit down on the door steps and wait. If she joins joins you in two or three minutes, so much the better; but if you have to stay there on the door steps for half an hour, or an hour, just writ for her. If you don't somebody else will, and in time you'll be sorry. For you'll realize what you have lost. Wait for her boys. She's worth it.
