An examination disclosed that he had sustained what may pos sibly prove fatal injuries. As we go to press today we learn that the boy is still living, but it is said that his chances for recovery are meager. j YoUng Boyett thinks that neither . of the wheels of his auto passed over ' the body of the little fellow, as the . center of the radiator struck him, j knocking him down between the front ! wheels of the car, which passed over him. When seen by The News-Herald reporter just after the accident had happened, young Boyett was al most frantic. "I couldn't help it, boys," he said to a number of per sons assembled, as he looked at the pool of blood on the street where the boy had been knocked down. "Had my life been at stake, it would have been the same. I would not have hurt him for the world," he continued. The accident was a very deplorable one, and no one hates its occurrence more than the boy who was at the wheel of the car which passed over the prostrate body of the little boy. I jv- . : -7- ; j ' . ' r liter ' The above cut shows the magnificent new school building which is the pride of Richfield. This school district, which is one of the largest in the county, put The News-Herald into every home in the district for a full year. Last Saturday was one of the greatest days in the history of Stato y County, the occasion having been hat of the county public school com nencement participated in by prac ically every public school in the aunty. The occasion was attended iy one of the largest crowds which lag assembled in Albemarle in many Even at an early hour of he day automobiles, filled with boys Ind girls, commenced to pour into lown from every direction, and by 11 'clock the streets were jammed and packed with "Young Stanly." The first thing on the day's pro- tram was a big parade which assem bled in Weit Albemarle and which kas estimated at practically a mile length. This consisted of deco- Iited floats, schol trucks and auto lobiles carrying students for the arious schools in the county which pok part in the day's program. Af ter the parade as many as could get pting room in the graded school Jditorium, assembled, where the de late between Endy and Fairview fehools took place, and which proved i be one of the most interesting fea- pres of the day's nroeram. The quos.ion discussed was "Re eved That we should have a Secre cy and Department of Education the President's .Cabinet."

"Buck" Da vis, fourteen year old son of Watt Davis, of this city, was fatally in jured this afternoon when struck by an automobile driven by R. S. Jenkins of Greensboro, death following the accident in about three hours. Ac cording to bystanders the child had evidently been watching one of Lex ington's two new fire trucks that ar rived today and ran out mto the way from behind a standing automobile, after the truck had passed, coming directly in front of Mr, Jenkins' car. The accident is said to have been un avoidable. William S. Harkey, well-known cit izen of Lexington, died at his home here today following a lingering ill ness, which became critical about a week ago. One daughter, Mrs. W. L. Scarboro; a son, W. B.

The first election was a tie, and the second held illegal by the supreme court. The building was ! erected last summer and has operat The welfare and betterment drive which was put on last fall flby our superintendent of schools, home and farm demonstration agents and welfare officer, was concluded Saturday on the oc casion of the county-wide commencement, which proved to be "such a great success. It will be recalled that at the opening of this campaign various persons and business concerns offered nu merous prizes to the school district making greatest improvement along these, lines. Two of the biggest prizes offered were the cash donations of $50 by the Yadkin Brick Yards to the com munity making the biggest improvements in their schools, homes, roads and grounds. This prize was won by the Kirk School, the report having"shown that, exclusive of the improvements to the school building, the Kirk district expended $5,564 during the drive in improvements in various ways, including a piano placed in the school building. The largest prize offered was that of $100 in cash which The Stanly News-Herald offered to the community making the best showing in subscriptions and renewals to the paper during the campaign. This prize was won by the big Rich field Consolidated High School. That school placed The Stanly News-Herald in every home in that large district, for a full year. Below is given a list of the prizes offered, those giving the priz es, and the name of the school district which won: Three Young Ladies Are Hurt as Ford Sedan Turns Turtle A very dangerous auto wreck oe- eeived medical attenlron. Word was curred about 0 o'clock Sunday after-! sent to the parents of the young la noon almost immediately in -front of 'dies of Salisbury and a brother the Seago place in Kast Albemarle of one of them came to AibemarTe when h Ford sedan in which Messrs. Stuart and James Hartley, Misses Frances Floyd and Xancie Windsor, of Salisbury, and Miss Pauline Reid, of this place, were riding, turned ov er, rather seriously injuring several of the parties. Neither of the young men were hurt, but Miss Floyd was badly cut about the throat and chest and one eye was seriously injured. Miss Reid sustained rather an ugly cut over the left eye and Miss Wind sor, who at first was thought to be the least injured of any of the ladies, according to the latest reports from Salisbury, seems to have suffered more serious injuries than either of the others, it being reported that she was badly hurt internally. The steer ing wheel was broken off in the ac cident, and it is thought that this struck her, and while she did not sus tain any cuts her injury is believed I to be the most dangerous. Almost lmediately after tne wreck the injured parties were picked up by passing cars and rushed to the home of Miss Reid, where they re- Sunday 'night and took them to their homes. At first it was feared that Miss Floyd would not recovsr, tut latest flryformation indicates that she is resting as well as could be expected and that with proper care she wili recover. At this time Miss Wind sor's condition is uncertain. Miss Reid, although rather sore, and in bed yesterday, is getting along nice ly. She reports how it all happened is a sort of mystery to her. She be lieves that it was due to the fact that the young man who was driving the car had a sore arm and not being acquainted with the very sharp curve was unable to make the turn in time, with the result that the car dashed in to the embankment. The News-Herald learns that the young men are regarded as sober and responsible young men. Miss Floyd is well knowt. in Albemarle, having visited here ir. the past. Miss Reid says that th young man was not driving at a reckless rate of speed, but merel traveling at an average rate.

The story oe a gigantic waterspot which chaser, the Cunard liner Carmania half an hour and then suddenly subsided as it was almost upon the hard-driver: ship, was told today by officers and passengers when she arrived today after a round trip to the Near East. The liner was about 800 miles out of New York when the spout was sighted. At first, passengers said, it appeared as if there was a slight dis turbance of water about eight miles astern. Then the waves were twist ,ed and churned and hurled skyward with terrific force in an ever increas ing volume.
