RETAILERS FINED $500 EACH Sentence of Six Months on Roads Changed Only After Severe Pressure Upon Judge Daniels Other Case Disposed of. The climax of Stanly's term of criminal court was reached Thursday when sentence was passed upon J. Luke Whitley, Lonnie Morton, Boss Morton and W. W. Lore, who submitted to the charge of retailing. Action was instituted against these men in the hey-dey of near beer saloons and social clubs, and under their own statements upon the witness stand they were rightly charged with retailing intoxicants contrary to law. Judge Daniels questioned Lonnie Morton and' W. W. Love very closely upon their conduct of their places of business, and openly read the charter under which the social club conducted by the incorporators operated. The men claimed to have follow ed the advice they received from lawyers, but Judge Daniels sex pressed a disbelief in the aser tion that any lawful attorney would have given advice under such premises which would cause men to carry on the busi ness for a personal profit. Reputable witnesses testified to having purchased beer from certain of the defendants. Two stilted that they were not mem bers of the club, and paid for the beer purchased. Others testified that a key was pur chased, and their wants were freely supplied. Messrs. Morton and ljve were frank in their answers to the Judge, and it was freely as serted that the severity of the sentence imposed was due some what to the confessions the de fendants made. Judge Daniels is as tender as a woman and stands firm when his opinion is made up. But an exception took place under the severe pressure brought. to bear upon him in this case. He first sentenced the four men to terms of six months each on the roads. The critical iilness of Mrs. Whit ley, the petition by hundreds of signers that the jail sentence be remitted to a tine, and the tears and earnest pleadings of the wives and children of the con victed, were of such a nature that Judge Daniels could not ignore. Messrs. Luke Whitley, Lonnie Morton and W. W. Love were fined $500 each and Boss Morton $100, in additon to the costs in the case which they paid. As a consequence, the school fund of the county will get $1,000 from these cases. In addition, the four men were placed under bonds of $500 each and request to make their appearances at successive courts to show that they have not been engaged in retailing. This case is contrasted to that of State vs. Henry and Issac Barbee, of Locust vicinity. In the latter case, there was hardly sufficient evinence to convict, and the disposition of it by the court was what appeared best for attorneys on both sides and to the solicitor, and to be in per fect accord with thewishesof peo ple of the Locust section, as the menagreed to quit the business, and it is alleged that they have. In this connection,- it may be said that while the men convicted in the cases named perhaps de served all that the court im posed, yet there are free asser tions that others are equally or more guilty than they. It is stated that only recently two or three barrels of prohibited stuff was delivered at the station here and hauled to a point in West Albemarle. Evidence that in the past few days several pints of whiskey were sold in a cer tain quarter of town, and that certain parties are active in de fying the law is directing atten tion to every person, resturant or business which admits of sus picion, and it goes without say ing that if others are caught it will be hard for them to escape a road sentence. Cases of State against other parties were disposed of as fol lows: Colyan Carpenter, retailing, 90 days on road. Ben Robinson, retailing, 4 months on road. Jonathan and Isaac Burleyson, a. w. d. w., judgment suspended upon payment of costs. Placed under $100 peace bond. Dan Lee, abandonment of his wile,-payment of costs and $50 to his wife. Verdict of not guilty was ordered in case against S. P. Hill, on appeal from lower court, charged with disorderly conduct. Child rsn Ory FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA Weight and Measarea. Saksfcuqr Putt. The Post is copying to-day on page two an article from the Charlotte Chronicle showing deplorable condition of the weights and measures) in that city. The "Standard keeper's" place was found in topsy-turvy style, evidences of great laxness characterizing it at every turn. The weights and measures were scattered about in the rear room of a gun shop and appar ently no care had been given them in years." The beam scales were incorrect by more than 5 per cent., while 40 per cent of the computing and 51. 1 per cent of the spring dial scales were in error more than this amount. Of 41 counter scales tested and over which commodities were sold 86 percent were incorrect. A num ber of the scales which were in favor of the dealer as much as an ounce in one pound, were report ed to have been tested by the standard keeper. Of the 99 weights tested only 64.6 per cent, were correct within 1.2 per cent. Of the remainder 35.4 per cent, incorrect weights 51.4 per cent, were light in weight. Some of the errors were more than 9 per cent. The dry measures, too, were found short, 55.5 per cent, being incorrect by more than 3 per cent. A further percentage of shortage to the consumer is the fact that a general practice has been in vogue to measure dry beans and sometimes green beans and cranberries by liquid measures when it was found that this measure when used for measuring dry commodities de liver 14 per cent, and upward, less than the correct amount. All of this is to call attention to the weights and measures in Salisbury. The question natur ally arises are they correct and giving the right weight and measure to the public? And what about Salisbury's Standard Keeper? Every merchant in Salisbury, we take it, would wish to give full return for the money and if the weights and measures are in correct they can not do it. We have heard criticism from some quarters where a certain article of food is placed on the scales and taken off before the scales have time to balance. No dealer should rush his business in this manner. It is not just to him self nor to his customers. This is not written to alarm the public but as a reminder to the dealers to be sure their weights and mearsures are correct. Death of Capt. R. P. Henry. Capt. R. P. Henry, of Winston, died at Mt. Pleasant Thurday evening from serious internal in juries sustained the day before during a severe storm in the Mt. Pleasant vicinity. Capt. Henry with his 15 year old son and a surveying corps took refuge during the storm in a log barn. On account of the rocking of the barn all but the captain and two members of the crew left the barn for a well house near by. Later, while the wind was still high, the cap tain with his two companions made a dash for the open. By that time the barn was tottering, some portions of the roof falling 50 feet away, one of the falling logs struck Capt. Henry on the breast and pinned him to the ground. His head was also in jured by the timbers, but the injuries received in his chest brought on his death. Funeral services were conduc ted from the residence in Win ston at 3 o'clock Saturday after noon by Rev. J. E. Abernethy, pastor of Centenary church, of which Capt. Henry was a mem ber, assisted by Rev. N. R. Richardson, of Mt. Pleasant. Capt. Henry was known to many of our people on account of his presence among us while making a preliminary survey of the Southbound. S. H. Hearne, of this place who knew him inti mately, testifies to the fact that he was a genuine man. No bet ter proof of his skill as a civil en gineer could be given than to state that just prior to his death he had been elect engineer to construct the water mains to Charlotte from the Catawba river.

Preliminary statistics showing the consistent and constant city ward movement of the white and negro population of the nine southern cotton goods states, based upon the returns for the censuses of 1910, 1900, and 190, are contained in a comparative statement prepared under super vision of William C. Hunt, chief statistician for population, in the Bureau of the Census, and issued to-day by Acting Census Direc tor f alkner. The figures are preliminary and subject to nec essary revision later, but it is believed that there will be no ma terial changes in the percentages stated. The nine cotton states concern ed are: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Ijouisiana, M is sissippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Of the white people of these states 1S.9 per cent lived ill ur ban areas in 1910, 14 per cent in 1900, and 11.6 per cent in IKK). Of the total negro iKpulation of the same states the percentages living in urban areas were li.i per cent in 1910, 14.7 per cent in 1900, and ll.M per cent in 190. It appears from these per centuges that the changes in the proportion of the total negro pop ulation -of these states living in the urban sections have been about the same as those in the proportion of the total whites who live in cities. Both white and negro show a decided move ment toward the city, r rom an urban proxirtion of ll.Gper cent in 1H90 the whites have increased to 1H.9 per cent in 1910. During the same period the urban pro portion or negroes increased 11.9 to 17.7 per cent. While the proportion of whites and negroes living in the city and country can be readily measured, some care is required in stating the rate of increase. This difficulty arises from the fact that portions of the rural area are continually changing into urban districts. Urban pop ulation, as defined by the Census Office, is composed of those groups that live in cities and other incorporated places having at least 2,500 inhabitants. In order to obtain a definite meas ure of the rate of increase it is necessary tlmt the rate pertain to the same area for each census period. Kates of increase, cal culated for the places that were classed as urban or rural in 190, are as follows: The white population of the 1890 cities increased l'7.6 per cent between 190 and 1900 and 40.6 per cent between 1900 and 1910. Similar rates of increase for the, urban negroes are -3.it per cent in the ueeiuie i;m to 1900 and ilO.5 per cent in the dec ade 1900 1910. For the rural sections of 190 the rate of in crease for the white population was 1H.7 per cent between 1SKX) and 1910. The increase of the negroes in the same rural sec tions was 17.5 per cent between 1H90 and 1900 and 8.3 per cent between 1900 and 1910. A comparison of these rates of increase brings out clearly the cityward trend for both races, but shows it to be even greater for the whites than for the ne groes. The rate of increase for the urban whites advanced from 27.6 to 4li.6 per cent, or a differ ence of 19 per cent while the rate for the urban negroes advanced from 23.2 to 30.5 per cent, or a difference of 7.2 per cent. The rate of increase in the rural sections was less for both races in the decade ending in 1910 than for that ending in 1900, but the decline in the rate of in crease was very much greater for the negroes than for the whites. For the whites the change was from 18.7 per cent in the first decade to 17.3 per cent in the last 10 years, a difference of 1.4 per cent. For the negroes the change was from 17.5 per cent to 8.3 per cent, a difference of 9.2 per cent. Aged Woman Assaulted. Rockingham, July 17. Mrs. W. E. Beck, a well known widow 60 years old, is in a serious con dition as the result of an attack by a man who broke into her home early Sunday morning, en tered her bedroom and choked her into insensibility. The iden tity of the intruder has not yet been discovered, Mrs. Beck not being able to tell whether he was a white man or a negro. The mayor and citizens to day offered a reward of $500 for hir arrest, which has been supplemented by an additional reward of $100 au thorised by Governor Kttchin. Albemarle Normal and Collegiate Institute. In former issues of Tub En TKi'l'WSK we have called atten tion to the splendid work done by the Albemarle Normal and Collegiate Institute. This insti tution is forging right ahead in its plans for next year. Presi dent Atkinson and Miss C fiord have been untiring in their efforts to increase the efficiency of the school, and a faculty has been se cured for next year that will be second to none in any similar in stitution in the south. In addition to Misses Hutchi son, tlouser, kupert, Morrow, and Mrs. Harris, all of whom will return, the following have been elected to the departments named: Miss Clara C. Giddings, of Worcester, Mass., chair of History anil English; Miss Mary G. Strong, East Hampton, N. Y., department English Branches and Drawing; Miss Ida Wescotl. Chillicothe, III., piano; Miss Ruth Houston, Oakland, Cal., voice. These ladies have been trained in the leading intitutions of the country, and are well equipped for work in the departments to which they have been elected. It is a significant fact that five members of the faculty have at tended the Moody Bible Institute at ChicHgo. The cost to boarding pupils next year will be $l. This will include hoard, tuition, fuel, light, water, and medical attention. Music will be extra. The aim of the institution will be to send out every young lady equipped to run a home. Further nifor mation in regard to the school will be furnished by President Goo. II. Atkinson. Two Wrecks of Yadkin. Two wrecks occurred on the Yadkin road near Granite Quar ry last week. The first wreck which occurred on Thursday resulted in severe though not serious injuries to Kngineer Fleilig. Minor injuries were sustained by a few of the passengers. W hen the passen ger train which left Salisbury about 9 o'clock was within a mile of Granite Quarry it was met by five loose cars heavily loaded with stone, which had broken loose from the quarry side track. The cars crashed into the engine of passenger train, completely de molishing the engine. The fireman on the passenger train jumped before the collision and was only slightly injured. Engineer Ileilig besides receiving bruises was pretty badly scalded by hot water and steam. Con ductor Frazier received a gash on his cheek, and laid off a few days to get over the effects of the jar to him. The second wreck occurred Saturday morning only a short distance from the first and in a similar minner. Cars loaded with granite ran into a freight engine standing on the main track. The engine and track were badly damaged. The train going to Korwoou was delayed for sometime, but the track was clear for the afternoon trains. Something Wrong. Durham Herald thinks that Raleigh is the only town in the State in which the near beer saloons were not put out of busi ness. If they have not been put out of business in Raleigh it is about time for the good citizens of the capital to get busy and see that they are closed up. If there are any near beer saloons open in the State at this time they are open in violation of the law, and if they are open in Raleigh it is most unfortunate that the capital of the State is placing this example before the other cities and towns of North Carolina. The near beer saloons can be closed in any town where an honest, intelligently directed campaign is made against law breaking. There is something radically wrong in the town or city which permits any organ ized, widespread violation of any law of the State or municipality. Greensboro Telegram.

Chlldron Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA ROAD IMPROVEMENT TRAIN. To be in Albemarle, July 29 - Peo ple Invited to AttenJ Exhibit to be Given at 2 P. M. The citizens of this section will be given a tine opportunity to learn about the importance of good roads and the best methods of building and keeping them in repair, when the ' Road Move ment Train" being operated by the Southern Railway and aftiiia ted lines working in connection with the United States Office of Public Roads, visits AlOem n l on Saturday, July 29 at 2 p. in. The train consists of lecture and demonstration coaches eq nip ped with a stereoptican, exhibits and working models, and is ac companied by Messrs. L.E. Buy km and H. S. Fairbanks, two government road engineers, who from wide experience are quali tied to give the most valuable in formation on good roads build ing. YY . J. Hurihut, or the Land and Industrial Department of the Southern Railway, goes with the train. It is the object of the "Road Improvement Train" to not only stimulate interest in the good roads movement but, to give practical instruction in the build ing of roads and their repair. President Finley of the Southern Railway is an ardent good roads advocate and realizing the vast economic importanceof a system of improved highways to the people of the South, made it pos sible to have this "timid roads school on wheels" visit all the territory served by the Southei n Kuilwuy and allied lines in order that the people might have the opMirtunity to receive the infor mation as to the improvement of roads which it affords. The Southern Hailway, at big expense, is handling this train without charge to the govern ment or the people and all the lectures and demonstrations are free. The lectures and exhibi tions are bound to prove helpful to all interested in good roads and the experts will be ready to answer all questions whose solu tion may be puzzling the individ ual as to how best to improve his road. The working models will be shown in actual operation, the motive power being furnished by a gasoline engine installed for that purpose, and with these the experts are enabled to explain what materials make the best roads and how they are made and repaired at the smallest nec essary cost. The "Road Improvement Train" will be on the road con tinuously all the summer and fall completing an extensive tour over the whole South at Rich mond, Va., at a good roads con vention to be held there in Octo ber. The tour began at Mobile, Ala., May 1 and a warm recep tion has been accorded the train at all stops. Those in charge of the train extend a cordial invitation to the people of this community to at tend the exhibition. All county officials and road supervisors are asked to take part and the ladies will be especially welcoire. ' To the Sunday School Workers of Stanly County.

In the July Woman's Home Companion Dr. Jean Williams, writing on "How to Keep Well in Summer," says in part: "In general, to lighten the di gestive burden during the sum mer months, eat sparingly. especially of the heutproducing foods. Add green vegetables and fresh ripe fruits generously to the diet. Avoid underripe, overripe or partially decayed fruits as you would poison, for that is exactly what they are. strawberries, and other small ceded fruits disagree with many people. In such a case, use only the juice of the fruit. "Ice water, so commonly and copiously consumed, is very bad for the stomach and sometimes very dangerous. Acute indiges tion is often caused by drinking it. As for the everpresent soda fountain, though not all is evil that Hows from its faucets, there are few persons whose health will not suffer from indulgence in the heavily-sweetened, over flavored, ice-cream-nut chocolate mixtures that are sold so much more commonly than the whole some grape juice, apple juice, lemonade, zoolack, matzoon or buttermilk. The last named three not only serve as agi-ee able, refreshing beverages, but are most valuable foods us well, "Finally, let me urge every one to cultivate the holiday spirit. If you can't have along vacation, take a short one. If you can't leave your work at all, manage to makj your work con form in some manner to summer standards. Picnic as much as you can, if you enjoy it. Fat out of doors, if you can do so in comparative privacy. In these respects home keeping women are much more fortunate than their brothers and sisters, lius ban 1 and fathers out in the busi ness world because much of their work can he taken out of the stuffy rooms into the air. Fortu nately, we are all rapidly learn ing how much of a factor in pre serving health this outdoor life may be, and how much it will help us to make our summer not only healthful, but happy." Concord Boy Disappears. One day last week, Ensign Ivobort S. young, Jr., who is a son of Dr. Young, of Concord, disappeared from his ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard His ab sence is surrounded by the greatest mystery, and all sorts of theories are advanced. He left a note stating that he expected to drown himself, and this is the most generally ac cepted belief. But diligent search is being made, and a hope lingers that the young man will yet he found. He was engaged to a young woman of Norfolk, Vil., and it is thought that opposition on the part of his father to his marriage and the love affair itself is at the bottom of the trouble.
