Albemarle Chinaman May Be Mentally Off i Well Known I.aundryman Ie i comes Obnoxious r.r.d Is ' Thought to he Insane. Mr. A. .J. Heilig Died At Norwood Thurs. Monument to Confederate, l, D. C. SIGN'S CONTRACT Bronze Statue Infantryman at Parade Rest to Top Base of Hammered Granite. The announcement on Friday that the committee appointed by the local chanter of U. D. C, which has had the matter of selecting a site and design for i he Confederate monument to be er,,'eil in Albemarle, had signed a c,u. ".-act for the early construction of the monument brought joy to many hemts. The monument is to be 18 feet and 2 inches in height. The base and Jieilcstal are to be of choicest granite, vhi'h is to be of hammered finish. The base is to be 5 feet square. The monument is to consist of six units, to a height of 11 feet, all capped with a bronze plate 20 inches square, on which is to rest a bronze figure 7 foot hii.-h of a Confederate infantryman at parade rest. The design gives a most pleasing effect, and its architecture is to show straight lines and angles, which seems to be the most approved type. From base to top cap, the granite is to be hammered, giving a mottled effect "To our Confederate Dead" will stand out in bold relief, and in the lettering space of 30 square inches will be shown a carved wreath show ing the year dates of the war 1861 lSiif). Other inscriptions will be r.ade to order. The county has donated $1,000 to vards the monument fund, and indi viduals have made subscriptions bringing the amount to something less than three thousand. The sum t i be raised looked so large at one t :ue that nothing but persistent ef f irt on the part of the members of t'-.e V. D. C. chapter and the daunt 1 s women who had the work in ( harire has made the present attain r.ent possible. In this the untiring (!Toits of Miss Mary Mabry merit special recognition. .Mrs. J. Eugene Ewing is president of the organization, and Mrs. M. J. Harris, Miss Mary Mabry, and Mrs. H. L. Horton have served as a com mittee to secure funds and to place the contract. After a careful sur vey of the field, our local firm, Palm er Stone Works, was given prefer ence. This firm will purchase the bronze statue, and before its arrival the concrete foundation will have been laid and the stone work erected. All told, the work will probably be completed within the next 90 days. This monument whose value ap proximates $5,000 will very soon grace a suitable site yet to be defi nitely decided upon. The one most favored, and which in all probability will be chosen, is on Second street where a park space has already been created. It is in front of the resi dence of Mayor M. J. Harris. The end of park facing south will prob ably be used. Later, other monu ments or designs may be erected at the central part and the other end. Back of the undertaking is to be found earnest work on part of many members of the Daughters of the United Confederacy. Their devotion to the work has been of beautiful and sacrificing nature, and it is a matter of some gratification that this slab to our Confederate braves is to be erect ed before all have responded to the last call. NEW BUILDINGS UNDER WAY Mr. George W. Melton is erecting a brick building on his property on West Main street, moving his home back sufficiently to accommodate the new Dusiness building, wmen is to De used for auto sales, battery and radio service and supplies. Mr. Melton has taken a new lease on life, it seems. Several months' back he took blood infusion, and looked to be near death's door. But of late he is look ing the picture of health. Dr. W. I. Hill's sky scraper is mak ing headway each day. Brick and sand are on the ground, and excava tion has been made in readiness for the foundation. The Yadkin hospital is receiving plumbing and heating roughing in, and Contractor J. D. Harward says by the time the electricians finish their end of the work it will probably be six weeks before the carpenters can get in for their finish. But in dications are that this splendid build ing is to be a finished institution at an early date. Standard Oil Company Erects New Station Delmar Shaver In Charge of the Con ' struction. Mr. J. Delmar Shaver, well known to Albemarle and a former resident, is in charge of a force of hands now engaged in erecting a new service station for the Standard Oil company, on the company's lot near the South ern railway station on north side of Main street. Mr. Shaver has been w'th the company 20 years, and erect ed the first station of the kind in stalled by the Standard. The station here is to be of the B type, and it is not now known who willoccupy it. "TUrnjngr the Trick" Presented by Seniors A. H. S. Auditorium Tacked All Anxious to See IJest Play In History of School. "Turning the Trick" was the title of the comedy played by the seniors of the Albemarle high school Tuesday night. The interest hung around Patrick Casey, a retired contractor; played by Roy Whitley, and Mary Ann, his wife, played by Miss Ora Mae Hill. Patrick is a fatherly kind of man of 55 interested in his home and family. He had once been a hod carrier and had risen to a suc cessful contractor. He still clung to his old fashioned Irish ideas, while his family, with their money, had gone out for society. His wife was interested in "Ancient Foodie Dogs." Michael Casey, his son, Vance Huneycutt, was the type of son that craved more allowance to pay his gambling debts. Kathleen Casey and Maggie Casey, acted by Misses Louise Parker and Edith Widenhouse, respectively. They were much in terested in society, and of course, had to have a fashionable dressmak er, so they get Monsieur Armand Francois Boni Aime de Lovier, Miss Creelman Rowland. Miss Rowland had a very hard part to act, and played it to perfection. She deserves much credit for the humor of the play. George Drake, a friend of the fam ily and engaged to Kathleen, played by Ernest Wheatley, is a very business-like young man, that the old man Casey puts all his faith in. Michael, in order to get money for his gambling debts, begins to act as a go-between for jewelry smugglers. Jim Dougherty, of the U. S. Treas ury Department, Miss Martha Austin, is trying to find the person and after making investigations finally stops at the home of the Casey's. In the meantime, Casey, who is getting sick of the way his family is acting, decided that he will take dancing lessons and make his family sick and tired of it. He employs Jim as a make-believe dancing in structor, at the same time Jim car ries out his investigations. Casey then decides that he will run the house from then on and takes Eileen, the maid, played by Miss Gertha Marbry, as his wife. Miss Marbry plays her part well. A new janitor is needed. "Humpy" Steele, Arthur L. Patterson, is hired. He is an old professional crook, who is working with Madam Anna Bairski a Bolshevik Miss Nellie Watson, who is the guest of the Casey fam ily. They having met her at some of their social functions. The old man Casey closes the doors of the play and allows no one to leave the place. The family, the guest and the dressmaker get tired of his actions and are soon ready to reconcile. The son is being suspected in the diamond smuggling. But Eileen took the blame herself. At midnight the janitor goes to steal the diamonds and is shot. They think that he has passed out and leave his body in the house until morning for removal. An hour later he and the Bolshevik steal all the valuables, including the old man's pocketbook and make a geta way. They have all learned a lesson. The old man takes his wife back. George and Kathleen marry, young Casey takes Eileen and the old man asks "for corn beef and cabbage." Upon the whole, it was one of the best pieces of amateur acting we have yet seen. The parts fitted the young people and their acting was both natural and spirited. The play was under the direction of Miss Eu nice Wessinger, assisted by George Snuggs and Delmar Turner. They should be given a great deal of credit for the success of the play, for with out them, it could not have been put across. Lions Go In Body to Winston-Salem The local Lions club received an urgent invitation to attend the lunch eon to be given in Winston-Salem yesterday evening at the Robert E. Lee hotel.

John Coley Drowned At Old Whitney Dam Boat Was Capsized While He Was Fishing Body Y'et Under Water. Mr. John F. Coley was carried through the spillway at the old Whit new dam on Yadkin river, yesterday about noon. He had been fishing, and his boat was thought to have i been caught in the current" which flows through the spillway. At least, that is the point at which he was last seen, and none knows just how the accident occurred.

Boyett apartment bui dings places most elegant residential quarters at command of those who desire to rent. The twin buildings front one on South and the other on Third streets. Each floor has two separate apart ments of six rooms, excepting the first, which have only four. The rooms are of pleasing dimensions, equipped with heat, lights, and toilet conven iences. Mr. Harris, manager of the A. and P. company's store at this place, has ulready moved into one of the apart ments, and Mr. Boyett says he is en tertaining applicants from several prospective parties. The buildings are elegantly finish ed, and their beauty and convenience are so far above the average build- i inir that is for rent, it is to be as-! sumed that within a few days the en tire twelve apartments will be oc cupied. Mr. Boyett has a sense of the need of Albemarle for just such a building, and caught the vision of inducing many families to come to Albemarle and make it their home. He has builded well, and Albemarle looks with pride upon this addition to its rental residence property. Auto Laundry Here Th. Boys Do a Quick Job While You Wait and Do It Nicely. Another break from the establish ed order of things has just become manifest just to rear of the Albe marle Service Station. Mr. A. D. Caudle has erected a nice concrete block building, and his two sons, Shellie and Tom, have taken stock in the new enterprise. Electric machinery has been install ed, compressed air equipment, and water conveniences. The boys take hold of a car, thoroughly rid it of all dust, and then get to work. Just in a few minutes in fact, while the auto owner waits, they have really laundered the car from start to finish. The machinery is of the Perfection stamp, and the young men do all for the car that could be expected in a really short time. A little quicker, and a little better than the other's best is the policy of the Perfection Auto Laundry. This new enterprise brings to Al- Whitley, George Snuggs, president; Local Boys Get On U. N.

In speaking of the Yadkin hospital, Dr. Lewis says it is ideally located, and will mean much to this entire section when it is completed and un der operation He has had much ex perience with hospital service, and is loud in his praises of the Yadkin building which is to be pushed to completion as early as possible. He seems to be a live wire, and his association with the local business is destined to bear results. REVIVAL MEETINGS AT FIRST STREET CHURCH Rev. J. E. McSwaine is preaching some strong evangelistic sermons at First Street Methodist church, with evening services at 7:30 o'clock. The meetings will continue throughout the week and probably longer, and the pastor, Rev. R. A. Swaringen, ex tends a cordial welcome to all and an invitation to join in the services. Sing I.eo.'iilius I.em Shing, who has been plying his trade of luundryman ' in our midst for several years, . us up before Judge R. R. Ingram, in : thi' recorder's court, on Monday un der charge of trespass. Judgment 1 has been suspended until suitable ex simirat.cn can be made as to the Chinaman's mental condition. In the meantime he is being held in jail. The immediate offense and cause t of his incarceration occurred on Sunday night, when he was found prowling around the residence of Mr. Carl Helms and thumping on win dows. He had been ordered to stay away from the Helms residence on other occasions, and just a few days 1 before, Mr. Helms assaulted Sing ! Lee, beating him about the face ; right much. ' The recent tong war which brought j members of the different tongs or guilds into warfare against each I other, and causing many deaths, is j thought to have mentally unbalanced the Albemarle Chinaman, who seemed to stand in constant dread of im pending danger. He sought the friendship of members of all the dif ferent churches of the place, and ap pealed to them for protection. He ! attended the different chuurches, gave liberally to different causes, and much sympathy was felt for him. Up to that time he had been inoffensive, and many favors were extended him. Lem s freakishness began some whenor soTme case i changed his name from Lem Shing to j Sing Lee, evidently thinking by this I to appease one element of the tongs. I This would have passed but for the j fact that he held limply and persist- ently on to friendship from any source extended, and made himself a . pt.rfert bore to otherwise disinterest- ed and business people of our town : who ha(1 ljttle time or patience to nurse him thr()U(,h a colia,)sed stage metit-i nffl rtinn He seemed to think that every : persons have attempted to read into I Lem s behavior a sinister design and give to it all a significance that has not at any time existed. Our people are really sorry for the Chinaman. It is bad that he must be incarcerated during the determina tion as to his mental condition. But his utter lack of all sense of propriety and his growing fractiousness, cou pled with his neglect of business and discourtesy to his own customers, all make it necessary to give him the best treatment possible under cir cumstances, but to keep him confined. The Florida Boom Mr. . L. Hearne Tells of Real Estate Propaganda. j Mr r. h. L. Hearne spent last weeK j in Florida, and since it was like re- the belief that the growth is like that; of other booming sections, and the . man with money to turn loose would1 do well to understand what he is get- j ting for it before he turns it loose. I Real estate men are putting out j heavy propaganda, and it is apparent J that they are anxious to turn loose their holdings whenever they get a l,il'lU'rV Not ery reported sale is a sale, lor instance, a man takes op- tion on a piece of property for a specified time and amount. This is reported as a sale. At the close of ' the option, if sold, it is again reported as a sale. But if option is forfeited, ! nothing is said of the default. j Mr. Hearne is not pessimistic nor ! would he be listed as a knocker of the j fast development of Florida; but, like many others, he sees in the Flor- j ida craze a tendency on the part of ' many to foolishly pull up stakes and I go because of the noise that is being made rather than upon sane and care ful investigation. While many are making money, it is th fellow who is to stay by the investment in its later growth who should worry. SUPERIOR COURT UNDER JUDGE R. LEE WRIGHT Judge R. Lee Wright, of Salisbury, is holding his first term of court since his recent appointment as one of the emergency judges.

A. B. Fortner, a lawyer of Char lotte, is facing charges of an ugly nature preferred against him by a prominent citizen of Plymouth, N. C, who is father of the young woman involved.

The Wiscassetb- Efird graded schools closed the year's work with very interesting commencement ex ercises on Thursday evening of last week, and the large crowd assembled shows the interest manifested in the work of this school. The program opened with a song by the class, "Don't talk if you have nothing to say," and throughout the program until the 33d number a song' of Good Night was rendered, the au dience enjoved each declamation, rec- ! itation, dialog and play in turn, j The rendition of several very exact ing numbers showed with what pa tience and care the children have i been trained in their work, j Some of the best features of the j evening were, "A Small Boy's Trou : bles." "Hardboiled Harry," "The ! Deaf Grandmother," "When Lucindy Goes to Town," "Husband Hunters." "Things That Explain Themselves," written by Prof. O. D. Ritchie; and "Wimmen," a monolog delivered by Mr. John Clayton, an eighth grade student. The children returned to school Friday morning for the purpose of securing their promotion cards, cer tificates of perfect attendance and other belongings. The attendance for the Efird school has been exceptionally well this year. A large number of certificates indi cating perfect attendance were given to pupils in (ery grade. Eighteen certificates of promotion to high school were given to students of the seventh grade. These schools are under manage ment of the two mills whose names are hyphenated, and Prof. O. D. Ritchie is superintendent. The quiet work and influences of this school are of the highest type, and it is largely due to Professor Ritchie and the fino faculty he engages that this is so largely true. It is one of the institutions of tho county and town which reflects credit in a way to call forth a spirit of pride. Washington Camp at Badin Gives Banquet Badin, X. C, May 12. With tho opening strains of the National Anthem the banquet of the Pa triotic Order Sons of America open ed with a bang. After every one had eaten all of the fried chicken, stewed chicken and was talking to his "chicken" some one discovered one of our former townsmen, Mr. H. H. Horton, who made an excellent talk on the tenets of the order. Dr. A. J. Thompson gave a good talk, outlining in brief the love of our country and flag. After the cigars were lighted and the ice cream had disappeared, Mr. I. T. Speaks, state president, addressed the assembly and explained the things that the order stands for and foster. Mr. W. F. Curran, financial secretary, made a good talk on "Financial Accomplish ments."" The president, Mr. C. M. Crowell, made the address of welcome and by the way the state president informed us that due to the excellent work of the Badin camp, we were to be honored with having one of our members elected to a state office. Tho excellent music was furnished by the Happy Ramblers of Albemarle, and the boys played everything that the people asked for and the requests were many. Isn't This the Truth. Nobody enjoys paying taxes. But people have shown that they will pay with a degree of cheerfulness what ever taxes are necessary for economi cal administration of public business. What arouses them is to be asked to pay high taxes to support superfluous officeholders and to carry on govern ment extravagantly. Kansas City Times.
