A A mmmu Mi J. D. BIVINS, Managing Editor Established 1S80 $100 per year, in advance VOLUME XXIII ALBEMARLE, n7c7 JULY 8, 1915. NUMBER 33 WILSON RECEIVES A THREAT IN A LETTER! Austrian Said He Would Com mit "Political Crime" Unless He Got $300. New York City, July 1. The federal grand jury today indict ed Rudolph Malik, an Austrian salesman, arrested here last :night, charging that in a letter mailed June 23, to President Wilson, he threatened the Pres. dent with "a political crime7' should the President refuse to pay him $300. The money, it was charged, was demanded as n indemnity for Malik's inabil ity to return to his family in Austria. Malik has mee:i in the coun 1ry only eleven months, it is id. The letter was dated June L"2, and was mailed in this city. t was written in German, sign ed "Rud Malik," and gave the writer's address where Malik was arersted. When arraigned, Malik plead ed not guilty, and was held in default of $3,000 bail. Harold A. Content, the assistant dis trict attorney, detailed to the case, said he regarded the letter in a much more serious light than the usual exposition of a harmless crank. The crime con templated by the writer, Mr. Content said he had reason to believe was more than a politi cal offense." CHAUTAUQUA AFTERMATH The Chautauqua was a suc cess a grand success. Albe marle is probably none the rich er from a financial standpoint, but after such an intellectual and spiritual feast the man who feels no better should look well after his liver. The chautauqua paid out and paid. Rev. S. R. Belk is a wonderful platform manager. To say just which one of his sermons or lec tures was best would be difficult. All were good. The Enterprise man, however, considered the lecture on the "Law of Antag onism," based on the text "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread," unexcelled. As Law yer Smith expresses the matter, "it is the school-of-hard-knocks that the rising generation of young men needs to go through.' Every young man in Albemarle who desires an easy berth in life should have heard Mr. Belk tell how the leaders of the world reached the heights by hard work, and through character testing experiences. The Tottens Friday afternoon and the Frank Lea Short Play ers Friday night, the Metropol itan Grand Quartette Saturday afternoon and night, and Sun day, were all entertainers par excellence. Speaks Well for Albemarle. Concord Times. Our neighbor, Albemarle, is to be congratulated upon suc cessfully conducting a high class chautauqua last week. A chautauqua is a fine, instructive, educative force in any commun ity. It speaks well indeed for a town the size of Albemarle to conduct this, .its first one, suc cessfully. It evidences a "kul tur" of a higher class than that an Emperor is trying to force upon Europe with 42 centimeter guns. PROGRESSINVE STANLY. Salisbury Post. Albemarle's Chautauoua was a decided success, and the dedi cation of her new community building an event in the county's life and history. It should be remembered that Stanly is the first county in the state to build a community building. Stanly is fast becoming one of the most progressive of all the State's counties.
