Fries, president tf the Winston-Salem Southbound raihfcad, is to address the Lions club this eve- ning at 7 o clock, and Tie will be the feature of the program. Few men have done more to develop piedmont Carolina in an industrial, financial, civic, ani.' moral way than has Col. Fries, and h will be heard gladly. Dr. J. C. Hall will be toastmaster. Music in charge of Mr. Hendley. "The Cub" is a hustling sheet edit ed by the best secretary of any club the state, ar,d it remarks: We ire glad tu report a Lions club in Troy, duly organized and with charter members. Mayor Oant has been elected president, and Supt. J. S. Edwards, secretary. The Troy Lions are hyited guetts of our club this week, and the Lion tamer and tail twister should see that every Uon is present to extend the glad "paws" to our np.w "Cubs" just east of tto. Report is current that some Lions have riot been able to "brave" the night air with Uncle Ed. Kirk and Uncle Jim Harris and attend prayer meetings. Surely such stalwart char acters will add sufficient strength and courage to the indisposed that they may attend church and Lions duties. NIGHT PROWLER GIVEN A SEVERE FRIGHT One jevening last week, a night marauder near the home of Mr. George Trotter 'in East Albemarle was given quite a severe fright. A youngish looking fellow was seen on more than one occasion to sneak around the house and look in the windows. One night, after the mid night hour. Another time, a little earlier. Neighbor Davis exploded his gun in the region of the young man, and a quick exodus was made. It is not known whether the young fellow wanted to rob the house or if he was a vulgar peeper. It will not be healthy for him to repeat the deed, whatever his reasons. The Forsyth County Fair begins October 6 and lasts through the 9th. This fair promises to be the best in many years.

In 158 Cities Last Year tbe Accident Rte Was 19.4 Per 100,. 000 Population. Cleveland, O., Sept. 16. Amer ica's death rate due to automobile ac cidents leads the world, being 14.8 fatalities for every 100,000 popula tion against 5.2 in England and Wales 4.3 in Scotland, 4.G in Mew Zealand and 3.6 in Canada during 1923. Figures for 1924 show that for 158 American cities the automo bile accident death rate wns 19.4 per 100,000 population, causing not less than 17,400 deaths in automobile ac cidents, not counting accidents which involved railroad trains, or street cars, and automobiles. The toll of human life taken by motor vehicles last year in this coun try was at the rate of more than two for every hour in the day.

A family in the county, the members of which were treated, have lost two milk cows that were bitten by the same dog which bit them. FIRST POLICEWOMAN NAMED IN CHARLOTTE Charlotte, Sept. 17.

"Raleigh, Sept. 22. Prosecution counsel for the murder trial of W. B. Cole spent the afternoon in confer ence here and announced tonight that the Bt.ate will have its case ready when the special term of Richmond county opens next week.

Or- : niand, father of Bill Ornrond, the young world war veteran for whose , death the prosecution will ask for Cole s life, was also present. No statement was made follow- ing the conference other than the assurance that the state has its case ready and expects to prosecute for a first degree verdict. There has been no suggestion of any sort of compro mise, it was said, following the con ference, and the prosecution does not anticipate that there will be any move in that direction. It has plan ned its case with the expectation of fighting for the major penalty. Here for the conference .besides Mr. Hoey, were Solicitor Phillips, of Xockingham; W. C. Douglass and C. A.

ASHEVILLE JAILS MEMBERS OF MOB Police Act Quickly In Drive To Ar rest 20 In Saturday Night Riot. Aslieville, Sept. 22. Sheriff E. M. Mitchell and a large force of depu ties were enguged tonight in round ing up the 30 members of the mob which stormed the county jail hjere Saturday night, for whom indict ment have been returned by a B.un combe couttfy grand jury. The allegtd participants in tine mob were being rapidly placed in the county jail which they took by storm a few nghts ago. One or two morethave been release) under bond of $2,500 for tVeir appearance. No prominent citizens iere are be lieved to have ben members of the mob, but a number have k en before tit1 grand jury as witnesses, and it wa.s upon their information that the grand jury returned the true bills. Sheriff Mitchell vats moving very cautiously so that none of tht.-e for whom capiases were ksrucd following their indictment would escape. By morniny the officers believe they will have arrested all those who are to be found in tha county, for whom' pa pers have been issued. TOM HOLT CHARGED WITH BREAKING INTO LOCAL STORES Surrendered On Other Charges. -Nine Finger Print Evidence In County Jail. Tom Holt, of Albemarle, has been charced with the recent burirlaries which occurred on Saturday night. September 12, in which the store of J. C. Penney company, the Albemarle Novelty and other buildings were en tered. Holt presented himself before Sheriff R. N. Furr, stating that he understood there was a warrant out for him. This was a warrant charg ing him with theft of a pair of pants from J. E. Agio. Officer Crisco got ; busy and had a new warrant sworn i out charging Holt with the larger I offense. He was tried Monday on the lesser offense and found guilty. Sentence has not been passed as yet, and prob ably will not be until the robbery case comes up for a hearing. lloll has not confessed to bur glarizing the stores. But he has fresh scars on his arms and hands, and finger prints found the morning after: the robbery, made plain with blood stains, correspond identically with Holt's finger prints. It seems to be a clear case against the young man, and just now he is debating whether a return to the institution for epilep-1 tics at Raleigh or a term upon the chain gang is preferable. There is no evidence of an accom-lwell puce. It may be now said that Chief i cf Police H. C. Troutman had very conclusive evidence the Sunday fol- j lowing the burglary against Holt, and that he was the man who was being ! chaseu. Our county jail has nine inmates. Most of these are serving out fixed jail sentences. One of the new ones is Charley Braswell. Sheriff Furr went to Fort Mill, S. C, Friday, to bring Braswell here for imprisonment. He is charged with stealing 'a car from A. D. Cau dle. Oral Dunlap has been apprehended for breaking into Clyde Simpson's service station recently. Another ne gro is in jail for stealing the grip and contents from a negro at Stan field. These cases will be up for trial nt an early date. Mr. W.M. Ivey Died Tues. New London Wai Prominent In County't Develop ment Pioneer Good Roada Builder. Mr. William Martin Ivey(passed out quietly Monday evening at 7:20 o'clock, just as indications pointed to a favorableturn in his illness. He was C8 years of age. He had been lingering for twelve weeks from heart trouble, and com plications brought about by poison caused from an orchard spray solu tion. His family have been constant ly at his bedside for many days, and the end was prolonged beyond all hopes. This death removes from our midst a man who has been peculiarly prom inent in many of the best develop ments of our county, and an active life is marked in his passing. He was horn September 9, 1857, to the late Air. and Mrs. John Reese and Sarah E.' Ivcy, at the old homeplace some four miles south of Albemarle. It was in his early teens when he moved to Bilesville, where he engaged in car pentering, brick-making, and mer chandising. His last years were de voted to the peach orchard industry in his home section. On November 23, 1883, he was married to Martha Ella Crowell, a daughter of the well-known miner, Mr. Thos. Jefferson Crowell. Mrs. Ivey, five of their sons and two daughters survive. These are: J. R., of Savannah, Ga.; Shelton B., of Macon; Paul and Wallace, of Albe marle; William, Jr., of New London; Mrs. John H. Ramscur, Gastonia, and Mrs. Fred Hastings, Huntersville. For many years Mr. Ivey was man ager of the Albemarle Telephone company at this place, anil it was during his years of residence here that he added many friends to his already attained long list. Follow ing his resignation, he became asso ciated with the State highway com mission, and here he found expres sion to the greatest attribute of his life, and he may easily be accorded credit for having been the pioneer good roads builder of Stanly county, and he was promoter of a splendid newtork of roads. As one friend expresses it, "His passing is the gateway to victory, that of'a man who had the burning heart; a life full of fond recollec tions and accomplishments, whose memory friends will never cease to cherish." The ourial occurred Tuesday aft ernoon. Rev. A. S. Anderson, of l!a din, pastor of the Presbyterian church, conducted the services, as sisted ny Ju-v. J. a. roiger, oi int' Methodist church. Mr. Ivey was a member of the Presbyterian church at Albemarle. j The Masonic order, members from New London and Albemarle, had charge of the services at the grave, usi.ng the short form. Each Mason in turn dropped a sprig- of evergreen upon the grave, and the service was quite impressive. The remains were deposited m the cemetery at New J London. Tho:e sowing as pall bearers were: Messrs. J. B. Palmer, II. L. I.owder, M. J. Harris, W. L. Mann, W. N. Lefler, and Dr. J. A. Allen. Quite a large crowd was present at the services, from Albemarle, Con cord, Charlotte, Salisbury, and other points. The floral offerings were abundant and beautiful, and were in keeping with the universal esteem in which Mr. Ivey was held by the friends who knew him. MR. GANTT IS A FLORIDA BOOSTER AND LIKES IT THERE Mr. James E. Gantt, who left our midst some months back to cast his lot in Florida, writes The Press man a personal letter, and while Mr. Gantt was one of the best plumbers who ever struck this section, one may now read on his letter head the following: "Sarasota Elue Print Works, J. E. Gantt, Owner, Blue and White Prints, ' Van Dyke Prints prompt service j P. O. Box 1871, Sarasota, Fla." "Things' are on a big way down here, plenty of work. I am liking it fine, both work and the town, and am pleased with business returns. The weather is fine, sun is hot, but we have a fine sea breeze that makes it most pleasant." .Mr. Gantt closes his letter with an invitation to come and spend "the summer this winter in Sarasota." It is gratifying to get good reports from the folks we know and who have gone from our midst. They are in the whirl of things at Fkrida, and "Jim" may be expected to do his bit and keep in the swim. POSTOFFICE ROBBERY NETS 32 CENTS AND A REVOLVER Fayetteville, Sept. 22.

Raleigh, Sept. 1G. North Carolina is five millions or more better off in the collection of federal taxes than she has ever been at fhis point of the fiscal year, Collector Gilliam Crissom said today, and he is asK-nished at the way the state holds up. 1 don t know where it comes from." Mr. Grissom says, albeit he does know that tobacco is doing the big part of it. The thing that as tonishes him is that tobacco can do so much of it. He has been hearing iL.l J.I- f , . ... . iiiat ine crop is snort ana the price is poor. He has heard that the trust is robbing the growers. But for all that somebody in the trust is paying taxes on it and the government is literally jumping ahead of its former record. "I don't expect this ratio to hold up," Mr. Grissom continued, "but 1 did not expect it to be anything like what it is. Everything that we had heard about tobacco was contrary to any such collections as we are hav ing." And the collector was willing to agree with former Governor Mor rison that North Carolina is the wonder state. The time covered by Collector Grissom's observations is the first two and a half months of the fiscal year. He has looked up all the records past and during the very wildest period of prosperity which was connected with the war the collections had not I been so good. and Elisha Dorman, the oldest of the three, will be sentenced by Judge Isaac M. Meekins in the United States district court here when another case against him in Harnett county has been disposed of. The three boys robbed the postoffice at Duke. Elisha Dorman, who is about 21 years old, seemed to be the leader of the youth ful gang, and he got the pistol as his share of the haul. Callie Dorman and Gaster each got 16 cents out of the robbery. The younger Dorman boy has a crippled hand. T. I). Maness, Esq., Dies Suddenly At Concord Many Albemarle Friends Attended Funeral Services Monday. News of the sudden death of Mr. T. D. Maness brought sorrow to many friends of the family in Albe--marie. Mrs. Maness is a daughter of our Mr. and Mrs. Thos. S. Parker, who went to the home immediately after getting the sad announcement. Others attending from here were Mr. Quint Parker, Mr. and Mrs. P. E. Book, Mr. and Mrs. .F. E. Staines, Mr. and Mrs. G. D. B. Reynolds and others. The following is taken from the Concord Tribune, 21st: Funeral services for Tola D. Ma ness, one of Concord's most promin ent and influential citizens, who died suddenly Saturday night at his home here, were held this morning at 11 o'clock in the First Baptist church. Services were conducted bv Rev. G. V. Tilley, of Hertford, former pastor of the church, assisted by Rev. Mr. Tibbs, who has been preaching in the church during the summer months. Interment was made in Oakwood cemetery. The church was completely filled by relatives and friends of the de ceased, and banked high .around the altar of the church were hundreds of floral designs sent as last tokens of love and respect by those who had known h'm best. Music was fur nished at the church and grave by members of the church choir and oth er musicians of the city. The suddenness of Mr. Maness' death came as a great shock to Con cord. So far as was known he was well as usual Saturday and a few minutes before his death had been talking with friends in the business district of the city. He started for his home shortly after 9 o'clock and apparently Was stricken as he entered his own yard, as he then began calling his wife who was at the home of a neighbor. He lived until he reached the porch of his home. Mr. Maness was 52 years of age' and had made his home in Concord for about 22 years. He came here soon after passing the state law board, having prepared himself for his work at the Wake Forest college of law. During the time he practiced here he built up an enviable practice and had participated in practically all of the more important cases here during the past 15 years. ' When the Citizens Ticket was elect ed to govern Concord a number of years ago .Mr. Maness was elected city attorney by the board of alder men and his work then, especially against liquor dealers, gained much prominence and influence for him. The deceased was intensely inter ested in all civic projects and at the time of his death was president of the Cabarrus Country club. In the campaign for Concord's new hotel he was one of the most active workers, serving as general chairman of thJ campaign. In all matters pertaining to the upbuildings of Concord he was an outstanding worker. Although his large practice de manded much of his time Mr. Maness found opportunity to give liberally of his time and resources to the First Baptist church. At the time of his' death he was chairman of the board of deacons of the church mA teacher ot the men s Bible class. He was especially active in the work of con structing the new building for his church and was regarded as one of the real leaders in church activities in the city. Mr. Maness is survived by his wife, nis father, James Maness, of Mon roe; one brother, Mod Maness, of Marshville, and two sisters, Mrs. J. W. Dean, of Union county, and Mrs. Hayer, of Georgia. Mr. Maness at the time of his death was the senior member of the law firm of Maness and Sherrin, one of the most active firms in Concord. He attained his greatest reputation as a trial lawyer and probably owed his success in no small measure tn the untiring manner in which he worked. The following were pall bearers at the funeral: L. 1). Coltrane, T. H. Webb, G. P. Patterson, J. A. Cannon, A. E. Harris, M. B. Sherrin, Frank Armiield and J. B. Womble. HOG MARKETING. A recent report made by the Bu reau of Agricultural Economics gives ne following as information to those interested in the price of hogs and pork products: "Hogs are just approaching the peak of the price cycie. Short sup plies for the next few months point to continued price advances through the late summer. During the next 12 months market receipts will be smaller than at any time since 1921 with prices probably higher than dur ing the last 12 months.
