He thought that the building should be absolutely up to date and modern in every particular. And it was the ex pression of opinion that such a building would cost approxi mately $150,000. Mr. S. H. Hearne made a short talk in which he emphasized the im portance of Albemarle building a hotel now. He declared that it should be the pride of every citizen of the town to see a tho touhly modern structure built here at once, stating that the in creased travel especially by auto demanded that Albemarle's hotel facilities be decidedly im proved. Mr. Hearne suggested that a committee be appointed to canvass the town for stock wbscriptions, and said that he wit sure investment in the prop-1 "nun wouia De a nnanciai success- He declared, however, he intended to subscribe whether he ver realized any dividend on tos stock or not, intimating that having the hotel here would be regarded by him as much satis faction as to take the place of Pecuniary dividends. Mr. A. C. Heath expressed Himself as of practically the same opinion. Upon motion, therefore, the following commit tee to canvass for stock was ap pointed: J. M. Boyett, chairman; Harris, T. C. Rivers, A. C. Heath, A. P. Harris, and Dr. W. Fitzgerald. This committee was instructed to canvass the TV1 during this week and re-1 port at another meeting which p appointed to be heki on next Monday evening, September 6. Albemarle now stands at the "Pendoorof opportunity. The fcingand putting over of proposition wiU mean more can be estimated to the expecting an undivided support and cooperation from the homes of the pupils. Judging from the past, we feel confident that we will. With .the firm cooperation and public spirit of the Merry Ma trons, a Domestic Science De partment is being started this year for the first time. The equipment of the room has been undertaken by this club, and I am sure all prospective pupils will be glad to pay the $1 per month fee which is necessary to purchase supplies. The sched ule of tuition for other grades is given elsewhere in this issue. Those who become six before the middle of the term should begin in September, for we can not begin a new class for begin ners as they come of school age. This is the custom that has been followed. Those pupils in High School only who have conditions should call at office during the day on August 30th and 31st ready to stand a test or plan for same. The school phone is 335. We will be glad to talk over any matters with you. Sincerely, m J. H. Mclver, Supt. MRS. HAMILTON DEAD. WEEKLY LETTER OF THE DOINGS AT WASHINGTON Breezy Notes of Things Politi cal, and a Review of the Le gislation of Interest NEWSY NOTES ON POLITICS THE "SUN" WRITES HIM UP (By David F. St. Clair.) Mrs. Eli Hamilton died oi Sunday afternoon at her homi on Pee Dee Avenue after an ill ness which lasted for about three weeks. The end came not un expectedly to her family, as no hopes for her recovery had been entertained since she was taken desperately ill more than a week ago. The funeral services were con ducted at the home on yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock by the de ceased's pastor, Rev. R. S. How ie, pastor of Central Methodist Church. The body was buried in the old Albemarle Cemetery. A rather large number of rela tives and friends attended the funeral, and the floral offerings were beautiful, and told of tne esteem in which the deceased was held by a host of friends. The deceased leaves surviving a husband and nine children. The children are: Mrs. Pattie Hinkle of Hickory, Mrs. Elizabeth Ty singer of Eldorado, Mrs. Carl Palmer of Salisbury, Mr. C. M. Hamilton of Columbus, Ohio, Miss liertha Hamilton of this city, Mrs. Munsey Mullinix of Albemarle, Mr. Arthur Hamil ton and Miss Ellen Hamilton, of Albemarle. not receive any great dividends for the first few years, but the stimulation which such a build ing would give the town, the future growth and developments and improvements in real estate values, would make the invest ment a decidedly profitable one to everyone taking stock. Co operation now means more than ever before in the history of the town. This proposition can be if all should work to- Je to put over the proposition 'gether. Let's all get busy now ui mean discouragement and and in seeing the hotel move 8gnation. It is true thnsA in. mt. a success, let our motto be: in a hotel here might, "This one thing I can do." The approaching arms limita tion conference in Washington on November 11 is to be the sec ond great test of democracy in diplomoacy. The first test was in the framing of the Versailles Treaty, and the failure was dis mal. It is in the shadow of this monumental failure that the true friends of arms limitations and peace are exerting themselves here to have the doors of the coming conference thrown open to the eyes of the world. They confess that they now face one of the most serious and difficult tasks that free government has had to meet since it came into existence. They are convinced that if the conference is held in secret its failure will be a far greater calamity for the world than the Versailles failure has been. When the Senate recon venes the real friends of disarm amament will press the fight for publicity. They find that the same sinis ter forces that contrived to ren der abortive the ideals of Wilson and others at Paris are now working to undermine the aspi ration of an overburdened world that it is time to cut down arms and navies. The strange thing is that some of the men whose machinations, cabals and conspi racies compelled Wilson to put on a cloak when he went to Paris, are now opposing the friends of publicity at the Washington con ference. Among them is Lodge, one of the American delegates to the conference. Lodge Calls it an Incivility. The day before the Congress recessed, Senator Lodge stated in the senate it would be an "in civility, bad manners," for the American delegation to suggest to the foreign delegations that the sessions of the conferences should be open to the public. It is well known here that Great Britain and Japan sought to hold a preliminary conference in London previous to the Washing ton conference. That was of course for the purpose of reach ing a secret understanding on certain questions that would come up at Washington. Secre tary Hughes frowned on the aiicrcrostinn and the move was abandoned, ine wuue nuu was of course opposed to a secret meeting to which it was not a One of the famous "fourteen points" lof Wilson was "Open covenants openly arrived at." He had seen with the old secret diplomacy in operation no head way could be made in promoting good will among nations. But the first thing he did on going to Paris was to seal with a censor ship the Atlantic cables. Perhaps that was a mistake, but he did it to guard the sanctity of his ideal and his efforts to have them ac cepted, from the slanders and misrepresentations of his ene mies here and at the conference. n .onViin(r Paris, he found that he was the only man there ; who stood for the new diplom at v. He was as one against. ten. He made up his mind to stay on the job and get what he could. He got far more from that conference than Harding will get from his, but then he had to be 'crucified, crushed and killed," as Senator John Sharpe Williams has said. If Harding gets anything good from his conference, and the still mourning, bleeding heart of the world is praying that he will, he will get more than is now expected in Wash ington. But he will get nothing that Wilson did not strive for. If (Continued on Page Five.) VENUS HAS BIG TIME Says That City Outdid Herself in Matter of Entertaining The Old Veterans Among the Confederate vet erans who had the time of their lives at the reunion at Durham last week was our most excellent correspondent from Faith, Mr. J. T. Wyatt, better known in Stanly -as "Venus." Mr. Wyatt is in his seventieth year, but as one of the Durham papers said of him, is as active "as a June bug." While he was at Durham haying a good time he did not forget the Stanly News-Herald, as he wrote us from there on the 24th the following newsy letter which reached us just a few hours too late for publication in our Friday issue. Durham, N. C, August 24 We arrived in Durham Tuesday at about 11:30. There were 176 of us old Civil War veterans on the train. We are all having the time of our life. The city of Durham is treating us old sol diers in royal style. The street cars are all free to the veterans and there are automobiles world without end hauling the veterans all over the city. Over a thous and soldiers more or less are here, and they are still coming in. We are having all the good things to eat anyone would de sire. We met John Bost and Mr. Jones, who moved to Dur ham from Faith, our little city. They work in the marble and granite yard here. It is just one trip after another in the street cars and automobiles and everybody is as happy as can be, We met one newly married cou ple on their honeymoon trip to Durham. The bride was just as pretty as could be, and the groom was a fine looking young man named Robinson. Durham has the prize for giving the old vets a royal good time. We leave them praising the city on every side. J. T. WYATT. The following article was pub lished in the Durham Sun on last Tuesday afternoon, and will be of interest to News-Herald read, ers: "One of the noble boys of the war between the states was Mr. J. T. Wyatt, of Faith, Rowan County, who arrived this morn ing on the 11:35 train to attend the annual reunion of the Con federat eVeterans of North Ca- rnlina. "Mr. Wyatt stated that from the time he left Salisbury, 175 veterans boarded the train. The largest number was from Bur lington, which was 39, while at Lexington 35 were counted. "Mr. Wyatt is in his 70th year and is as active as a June bug. He is a newspaper correspondent and was much interested when he visited the Sun office in see ing the production of the daily paper. He said that Durham sure was one fine town, and that he had never enjoyed a meal more than he did the one served at noon today in the mess hall at Trinity college, where the old soldier boys are quartered. He said there were 272 at the first r.ihle. and eauallv a3 many wil ling and waiting to be served at the second. "Mr WVatt. was a member of the Freeman Battallion, under the command of Captain Allen. He was assigned to carry the mail from Salisbury to several North Carolina camps and re lates many interesting experi ences he had while carrying the mail. Mr. Wyatt said that the Free man Battallion was made up of mostly young boys who were too young to go into active ser vice, however, they were assign ed to guard prisoners at Salis bury, and 'rendered excellent service to the South." Land Has Been Purchased For Site of New Court House HOME DEMONSTRATION (By Myrtie Keller, H. D. A.) Two bulletins ready for dis tribution, ''Canning Fruits and Vegetables," and "Jelly, Preser ves, Jam and Pickles," are the two bulletins just off the press. These are revised editions of Canning and Jelly Bulletins. All the recipes have been tested and are the standard for pro ducts put up in club work in North Carolina. These bulletins are free to any person who will use them, and for the next two weeks may be secured from Miss Herrin in the office of Register of Deeds. Af ter that they will be distributed from the office of the Home De monstration Agent. Fairs. As yet only two communities have signified a desire to hold fairs this year. The fairs will be held at Oakboro October 27 and New London October 28. The officers and communities at each place are busy, and altho fruit and other crops are short we feel sure each place will have a splendid fair. Some of the Anson County people are plan ning to exhibit with us at Oak boro. Millinery and Costume Design School Some time during the last two weeks of September there will be a millinery and costume design school held in the county. a number of people have asked for this school, and, of course, we are expecting your coopera tion to make it a success. Watch for further notice about it. Traveling Libraries A number of communities have secured traveling libraries through the efforts of the Girls' Clubs in the County. The books in these libraries are lent to you absolutely free. We hone the entire community will take ad vantage of this reading material while it is available. There are books on all subjects and suitable for all ages. The following is a list of books in the Stanfield li brary, which is located in the home of Mrs. J. A. Jenkins.

McDonald "Manuel in Mexi-J When will this county have a new court house in keeping with the progress of a rich and growing county like Stanly, is a question which has been in the minds of many citizens for the past two or three years. The question is now settled. This county is to have a new court house. This question is made certain by the recent action of the Board of County Commissi oners. Not only has this board decided to build a new court house, but already the site has been selected. The deal has been closed by the commission ers with Mr. S. H. Hearne, whereby the county will become the owner of the large Hearne grove on the corner of South First and South Streets. This information is official, and notice will be published at once of the moving of Stanly's temple of justice from its present site to the Hearne Grove site, and im mediate steps will be taken to get the work under way as early as good business methods will permit and the compliance with the law can be made. It ha3 not been made public whether or not any particular designs have been selected, but it is generally understood that a building which will be inade quate for the next fifty or sev enty five years will be built. In other words if we catch the drift of sentiment among the board of commissioners, they intend to build a court house which will be one of the very best in North Carolina when finished. As to what disposition will be made of the old court house structure has not as yet been an nounced. It will either be sold to some one as a busines stand or to the town and used as a city hall, the latter being possibly the most practical thing to do, pro vided the city authorities should be interested in figuring with the commissioners upon such a deal. HAROLD HORTON HURT. Harold Horton, the 12-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Hor ton, was badly hurt early Mon day morning. He was riding a pony when the animal slipped and fell, throwing its weight on the boy's leg. A dreadful frac ture just below the knee was the result. The accident happened just in front of the plant of the Stanly Bottling Works. Mr. P. O. Skidmore, who was first to arrive, picked young Horton up and carried him home, where medical aid was secured. It was found that with the exception of slight bruises, no further dam age was sustained than the broken leg. WEATHER VoRECAST.
