Entertainment at Eton.
EJon CoUege, Feb. 21,—-The ' Clio
annual entertainment here this even
ing was largely attended and taor-
oug'hly enjoyed. The two orations by
Messrs. Foster D. Finch and G. B.
Harris, were thoroughly applauded.
The two musical numbers i*y Messrs-
Victor P. Heatwole and Marmaduke
Woodward were encored but the chief
interest, beyond tb» laughter occas
ioned by the huinorous selection by R.
S. Kainey, centered in th» debate to
the recall in its anplication to all of
ficers whether elective or appointive.
The affirmative was represented in the
wordy contest by Messrs. Warren Mc-
l^aloch, of Greensboro, and Rupert
Polfc Merritt, of Chapel Hill. The
negative was championed by Messrs.
Rogei' M. White, of Wavsrly, Va., and
H. E. Jorgrenaon, of Pontiac, Mich.
The jadges were Dr. Martin Sumir.er-
b*H, Lakemont, N. Y.; Dean Stacy,
of the Stats University, Chape! Hill,
and Dr. J. U. Newman, of the college
faculty, who voted in the affirmative.
Eton Downs Guilford.
Elon College, Feb. 2t.—The Elen
; Coltesre quiritct made itself a ciaiiti-
t ant with good right for championship
i honors in the State here tonight by
' dffeating the hoya from Guilford, in
a rough, but good humored game, the
score being 26 to 22 in Sion’s favor.
The game was characterised by
: .fouls, Guilford making 25, 13 of which
twerep ersonal, of which Elon’s dough-
Xty Dutchman, Morriette, placed 1-4
l^ely in the pocket. Elon made IG,
I ^pe^nal, and Benbow got half of
— on the Nring, the other half
sway. Morefield, of Guilford,
Morgan, of Elon, were ruled out
' four personal foals.
The Elon fellows were wiU with
ght because this -victory makes
ea the victors in on* game over
team in the State and so right-
bfiy claimants to the ehampionshiv
the fight to try it out with the
; elftiDUknt.
Pitcher Payne Hw Signed a Conrtaet.
The management of the local base
ball club has si^ed John A. Payne,
native of Svrepsonville, Alamance
county, a pitcher, who, if he comes up
to what he is said to be, will be a
wonder in the Carolina league. Payne
has plsyed semi-professional ball in
the middle west for the past three
seasons and a grlance at his records
is enough to convince one that he has
the roods.
Piiyne was with a Nebraska team in
Um and he pitchied 30 games, win
ning 35 cut of the 30. In one of
these games the pitcher went the full
nine innings mthout allowing a mem
ber of the opposing team to resch the
first station safdy. In 1912 he play
ed with s team in Iowa, winnig 18 out
of 23 games pitchcd. Ten of these
g?mee were shut-outs. Last season
he was* a member of the Iona, Iowa,
team, and he won 17 out of 21 gaines
in which he worked.
The hew pitcher is a right-handei;
is said to have plenty of curves and
speed, is also said to display good
htadwork, is 22 years of age, six feet
high and veight 165 pounds.
Fourteen men have already put
their names to a local contract end
there are aboRt four or five more that
will probably do so within the next
few days. Manager Owens i.s confi
dent that he will have a winning fceair>

Manager Owesn says he will report

It la Generally Believ^ That the Mur-
derrf Killed Lyerly as He Came
Dowa the Stairs.
Barber. Junction, Feb. 25.—A girl
at Cleveland ivas the last person, ex
cept his murderers’ to hear the voice
of Preston -Lyerly, the. clerk who .was
shot and his body cremated in H. T.
Smithdeal’s store dt Barber Junction
last night. Lyerly, after going to the
postoflice, returned to the .st>.re ;id
ci-lJed up his sweetheart at Cleveland.
He laughingly teased her for not hav-
written to him by the nigiit^s ihail.
Fifteen minutes after she hung up
ths- receiver the message that the
store was in flames was flashed over
the wires.
Lyerly telephone was up-stairs and
hi^ body was found lying near the
fijot. A bullet hid gone straight
through his head entering the right
side, which ’s the side that a man
would naturally turn toward the dark
ctrner beneath the stairs after de
scending the steps. The hypothe.sis
is that while he was jokinfe' with hia
sweetheart upstjiii-s his murderer v.aK
lurking in 4ie shadows helow ready
o shoot the minute he descended the
steps.
SEVERAL HEARD SHOT.
The shot was heard by several peo
ple near by, but no particular sig
nificance was attached to It, Even
when Tom and Preston Barber and
Will Bain seeing the light of the fire
broke into the front door which wjis
blocked by hoxes they never thought
of the pistol shot. In their excitement
even the fact that the safe was stand
ing open and empty did not seem to
make much impression upon them,
but even had it done so they could
not have reached Lyerly’s body ic-
the back of the store where it lay
was a mass of flames,
Lyerly fell close by the kerosene
tank which the robbers flred, and a.'^
the three boys escaped through the
door aft#r their third trip into the
store it exploded, sending 50 gallons
of flaming oil all over the place. It
was not -until the building had fall
en in that spectators-were able even
approximately to locate tne body, and
though they endeavored to throw sni-
.‘icisnt water on the .•spot to keep it
from being utterly destroyed it h,id
loKt all Eemblatice of humanity by
the time it was taken out.
This rooming tracks were found
loading from the hack, door of the
store. They were traced for a mile,
r more, finalty being lost by the
railroad.
THK OTHER LYERLY TRAGEDY.
Lyerly was immensely papular witii
bis neighbors, being looked upon as
n model young man. He was 25 years
old and leaves a mother s»nd several
brothers and sisters. His home was
at Woodleaf and the body was carried
there to be buried today.
The poll of horror that lies over
the whole neighborhood is the black
er because tliis is the second crime of
the nature that has taken place in the
vicinity.
Seven years ago in Jixne an attempt
wa,s made to exterminate the family
of Ike Lyerly. Negroes came in the
dead of night and murdered Lyerly
his wifj and one of their children and
fiitaily wounding snother with axos
v.inding up by setting fire to the bed
c'othing in an endeavor to bum the
other children in their beds. For tl.i^"
ri iree two neproes named Gillespie
.-irid one named Dillingham were after
wards lynchcd in Sali.s'oury. These
Lyarlys were no kin to the young »na~
'tilled last night. The police author
ities have only one faint clue.
Some time since, Lyerly had trouble
xvith a neyro named Finber, wik,
»-.ade threats against him. Several
■veople maintain that Finger was seen
vesterday nt Barber Junction, but that
has not been confirmed. The tracks
found Ht a No. 7 shoe, which is the
lize that Finger wore.
Loss frdia the fire was about $2^00
with no insurance.
