Members of the commit tee declining to indicate whether they would recommend action on the bills or let the whole question go over until the December session. There was no intention as to how the President regarded the proposal of Henry Ford for lease of the property beyond the statement that he -felt the matter was too big to be considered, hurriedly and in what members regard as the closing period of the present Congress. After the conference with the Presi dent Mr. Mondell hastily called to gether the Republican steering com mittee to discuss probable action on the ship subsidy bftl and Muscle Shoals, but the meeting, it was said "got no-where." The President is understood to have reiterated to Mr. Mondell and other Republicans who accompanied him to the White House that he was extreme ly desirous of having the ship bill passed prior to adjournment for the summer. Opposition to Subsidy. With a considerable part of the membership insisting on early adop tion of a three-day recess plan while the Senate is. tackling the tariff and bonus legislation, some opposition, it was. said by leaders, is still developing to action at, this time on the subsidy bill. It was indicated, however, that the leaders promised the President to put forth their best efforts to have the merchant marine' committee re port the bill speedily and then pre vail upon the rules committee to give it right of way.

Three of these buildings are to be of brick and are to have from six to eight rooms each, exclusive of the auditoriums, of which each will have one. The other two will be for colored schools, and will be two room wood buildings. One of the large brick buildings will be erected in the End district, one in the Aquadale district, and the other will 'be located in a new consolidated district comprising a part of Kirk and Albemarle dis tricts. The new building will be located somewhere between the present Kirk School building and the town of Albemarle. One of the buildings for the colored people will be erected at Porter and the other at New London. Several hundred dollars towards the payment for each of these colored schools will be received by the County from the Rosenwald Fund. Work will be commenced at once on these new school structures, and will be pushed as rapid ly as possible, to the end that the fall term may not be interfered with, and in order that the schools may open up in the new buildings this fall. It is understood that the definite location of neither of these buildings has yet been made public by the board of education, but that the matter of location will possibly be left to a committee, working with the County Superintendent of Schools and the committees of the various districts. The two buildings in the Endy and Aquadale districts will no doubt be lo. cated in the near vicinity of the present school structures. The school work for this county has never looked better in the past than at this very time. Although quite an extensive campaign for additional school buildings has already been put on, and available funds for others are in fairly easy reach, yet the de mands over the county for new buildings, already exceed, by far, the appropriations on hand- It is understood that in the erection of these new school buildings, the various districts are to pay one Cambridge, Mass., June 12.

Mr. Brown, the boy's father, did not see the little fellow and had not the re motest idea the child was in the way of the car, and it is thought that had he been a few inches nearer the point where the wheels passed he would have been killed instantly. He is re covering very nicely and it is now believed that he suffered no permin ent injuries. PLAY AND BOX SUPPER TO BE GIVEN AT LOCUST. Locust, June 14.

TEACH- Leaves Scraps Behind. If Armfield had known these scraps! of paper would save him from a prison term, no dougt he would have remained in America. He seemed to have believed, however, that scraps of paper, worthless scraps most of them, wouldn't save his hide and so hit the grit to Mexico, where scraps of paper are less highly respected. The story of these scraps of paper Cornish a background for a story without parallel In ranking annals in North Carolina. They represent the difference, according to the law 1 of the land as interpreted at Arm field's trial, between felonious intent and lack of felinious intent. Of course, in these modern days the ph'ychology of the' situation must .' be considered. The stories of Arm field's dissapearance, the1 report, of the taking of money intended to feedj- orphan children, the, knock down and drag-out methods employed to g3t Armfield back to his native TieatK, the enraged expressions of a lot' of angry bank depositors all these things had contributed- to- a , popular conception of Armfield as a devil in carnate with real horns. So strong was the feeling against Armfield here that the prosecution doubted its ability to get a jury that could hear the case impartially. Many men had to be discharged because of their admitted feeling against the de fendant. But it turned out that Armfield wasn't a devil at all. In all respects he appeared to be very much like other men, and a very human sort of person. This disarmed mnch feel ing at the trial in everybody's mind except Armfield's. He was confident so the local paper reports, that he would receive the maximum sentence of thirty years ln prison. So much be in fhem. 27, and continuing for six weeks.
