PLANS FORCHAUTAUPA.
in Connection AVith I he Great Chau
tauqua Week a Junior Chaulti'j-
qua Will Be Held.
Programms Varied.
While plan?; for the Grown-Ups’
Chautauqua "Week are so excitedly
buzzing, it is not amiss to call at
tention to the arrangemeiits which
are being- made for the Junior Chau
tauqua which will be conducted at
the same time as the other. June *?.7
to July 3. ll will be exclusively for
the youngsters who will have the
time of their lives.
■ Junior Chautauqua will again l»e
in charge of Miss Anna Oppenlar.der*
who was director last summer, nnd
made it such a marked success. The
plans she has outlined are so attract
ive that they make the writei almost
vdsh that he were to be one of tl.o
Junior Chautauqua Younsrsters.
The programs are too varied -'.nd
unusual. There will be story hours
" v.'herj every story will be the kind
tliai mnke you hold your breath for
fer.r tliat you will miss a single word.
The story hours will be varied with
Information Hours, when such sub
jects as “Birds” and “Good Citizen-
.sliip” will be gravely discussed for
'the benefit of all concerned.
Time will be found diring the i)usy
v/eek to teach every youngster at
least one folk dar.cc, nnd some of the
Junior Chautauques will learn every
foik dance of the nations. A Vietrola
with special records has been pro
vided to furnish the music for these
dances.
Of course there will l>e gmaes overy
day, now ones nnd old ones. They
will be graded for the smi>.n childre;i
and the larger ones, ball, relay games,
fo!k-.iinging games will be played un-
({er thf fareful supervision of tho two
college-girl leaden;. Kach day Ji*ne
will be found for a few rali.-sthonii* «^x-
erci.scs arrar.ged to the niusii- '.f tiic
^Viclrola.
One day •kiriag the wtvk it is |)?an-
ned to have a picnic hike fwr the
er girls and boy:;. The oi-cajsioii is
sure to be a joyous one. Another - ly
w!li be set aside for a small FioM
Moel, when all sorts of events will
be urranged. There will he races for
girls ;*nd races for boys, potato i‘aces
and sack races and all the other va
rieties of races which have caused th:»
joy of life to. run high. There, will be
base-ball throws, and basket l aU
throws, and a long.list of new games
Mch it*would be necessary lo ;-ee
in order to know them, as some have
been invented just for Junior ChauL'u-
qua.
On the lasi day* a simple play will
be given by the Junior Chautauqua
for the benefit of the Senior Chautau
qua. It is called ‘‘Motner Nature's
Garden Party’’ and such characters
as Mother Nature, Rain, Jack Kiv>st,
and Sunshine w^ill appear at their
best. During this play all the if'lk
dances learned during the week »ind
most of the other joyous games will
be repeated, not only for the fun of
doing it, but for the joy of the older
jChautauquans.
I Each day during the Series Lecture
in tra afternoon, a special session for
Sll Junior Chautauquans will be con-
‘ ducted elsewhere in the town, when
many of th3 beit stories will be told
and the be.st games played, while the
grown-ups will not be disturbed by
the noise of the youngsters.
BOLD ATTEMPT OF ROBBERY.

The State Convention balked at de-
claririg for county primaries, which
r-howed that there must have been
quite a few county officeholders in at
tendance. A great mar.y of the al
ready “ins” really don’t want to lake
chance at a fair primary where the
commoii ordinary voter would have a
say-so. North Carolina is not less
tha;i li5 years behind her sister states
in tile matter of choosing her ofBce
holders.—Southport New:»,
‘‘SO CONSKKVATIVK IT IS
CHILLIN;.'’
Therr can be no gainsaying the
suggestioji that the anti-progressive
elemti-.t of the Democratic party is in
the saddle in North Carolina. If
anything was needed to confirm this
truth, the evidence was plentifully
forthcoming at the recent State Con
vention. The adopted platfonn i? so
corcjservative that it is chilling. The
mystery is how that platform com
mittee even squirmed itself nto a po-
sitiou to endorse the policies of that
great progresiiive leader—W'oodrow
Wilson. -Yanceyville Setitinel.

about I o’clock while Mr. Jeprjns,
s^jcretary and treasurer, was r;ut at
dinnei'. At the lime there wore only
two people in the oiuce. C. R. .Staff
ord, a lumber inspector, and .viiss
Lillie Tuttle, stenographer, whc-n a
mas^r^ed -man c/#me in ^nd a, the
pohu.of a pistol demanded ‘'money or
your life.” When told he must be jok
ing- the maa behind the mask began
to swear and repeated his deni'^.n 1.
As he attempted lo enter the inner
office where the money U kept tl e door
.«»lammed shut and the spring lock
held it fa.sl. He then broke Iho blass
in the door severely cutting nis hand
and began to shoot. Mr. Stafford was
hit in the arm. Mips Tuttle escaped
injury but in the r.ieantime witii rare
pre>once of mind she went to tele
phone and gave the alarm and :ojm-
moncd officers to the scene, telling the
men in the oflice of the Bernhardt
Manufacturing Co., just below them
what had happened and to look out for
the bandit> and called Mr. Jennings,
told him what had taken place ar.d to
hurry down there as quickly as pos*
sible. "
The man made his e.scape bu' on
account of the severe cut on his arm
from which blood freely flowed the
officers- were enabled to tiack him eas
ily. ,\n hour later he v»-as found at
his home abnut two niile.s di.-^funt.
W^h?n the ofiicers approached the
hou.c-c the hoys mother mot them ii'
the doorway v.-jth a ColLV automatic
pi.stol and warned them “Pon’t you
come any further or 1 will J\ili the
la^ one of you.” No irouble was
e.xperienced in gettitig the boy in

JUST PLAIN DEMOCRxVCY,
It wa.«5 just plain old-fashioned De-
rnocracy, without any frills or
flounces that dominated the State Con
vention over at Raleigh last w'eek,
and this is the only sort of Democracy
; that the State has any need of at this
I time.-—Henderson Gold Lenf.
