No estimate has been j made as to the value of the estate, but it was learned authoritatively that it consists of thousands of acres of California's best land, and tht estate likely will run into hundreds . of millions of dollars. Mark Hopkins, according to Free man's information, died intestate. His brother, Moses, is said to have gone forward and represented himself as the only heir to the estate. Recently ' the heirs in North Carolina learned of the death of Hopkins. Mr. Free man went to California, located the property, obtained evidence and through his attorney, James H.

Albemarle's new high school build ing, is one of the prettiest structures in the town and is modern in every detail. It is three stories high and is built of the very best material. C. C. Hook, of Charlotte, was its archi tect, and E. C. Derby, of Fayetteville, the contractor. The board of school commissioners who conceived, plan ned and financed the proposition is composed of R, L. Smith, A. P. Har ris, A. L. Patterson, M. A. Boger, H. L. Horton and W. L. Mann. There are, 10 class rooms, an auditorium, with a seating capacity of 750, a science laboratory splendidly equip ped and science lecture room, a gym nasium which includes a basketball court, a library, a manual training room, domestic arts and domestic science rooms girls' shower cafeteria, boys' and bathrooms, first aid room, teachers' rest room and princi pal's office. The building has been equipped throughout with modern and up-to-date furniture and furnish ings. This building is located on a four-acre plot near the heart of the city. There is room on the plot for a combination football diamond. The football field has already been laid off and a few days after the opening of the schools it is expected that football practice will begin. The completion of the fcuilding gives Al bemarle six splendid buildings which include the Wiscassett-Efird school buildings and the girls' institute. All these schools are expected to have a total of more than 2,000 students this year with a combined teacher force of about 75. Registration for the opening of the high school began Thursday, September 3, and the su perintendent, M. S. Beam, and the principal, James P. Sifford, are look ing forward to a specially successful school year. , I iriouie to tne ooys oi oo, enipna sizing our debt of gratitude to them, ' not only for their hardships on the There will be a mass meeting of ' battlefield but their valiant fight in the merchants, wholesale and retail reconstructing a desolate south.

He was driving south on Depot street and as he neared the bridge he pull ed to the right to miss a car which was approaching north over the bridge. The street was just wet enough, Mr. Winecoff said, to make his car skid, although he was not making more than 12 or 15 miles an hour. The car missed the entrance to the bridge, smashed through a guide-wide on a telephone pole and crashed its way to the railroad tracks 25 feet below the street level.

Miss- Audie, 17, skull crushed and wounds about the head; Miss Oradell, 14, broken jawbone and loss of sev eral teeth; Vera, 7, wounds about eyes, face and head. These were apparently the most seriously injur ed. Vera is just regaining her eye sight, but hopes are entertained that she will recover. Mr. Harward received a heavy gash over the right eye; Mrs. Har ward, back strain and bruises about body; Miss Flonnie, aged 19, bruises on head and body, while Benny, Sandy, Wilma, Flossie, and P.
