PAINFUL BURNS Are Healed Without a Scar By THIES' SALVE STATESVILLE NEVUS Special to The News. Statesville, Feb. 10. The num erous patrons of Davis White Sulphur Springs, near Hiddenite, will be inter ested in the announcement of a change In ownership. A deal has just been con summated through which Mr. R. Lee Davis and Mr. Chas. P. Matheson, of Taylorsville, .purchased Mr. W. J. Dav is interest in the property. The consid eration was $15,000. Recently a deal was in prospect by which Mr. WY J. Davis and his son-in-law, Dr. Leeper, would have become owners, they pro posing to buy Mr. R. L. Davis out. But thig dealffi failed to consummate and Mr. R. L. Davis and Mr. Matheson ! bought the interest of W. J. Davis and are sole owners. The resort will open next summer under improved condi tions, and the Davis brothers have giv en it a reputation which means an increased patronage. - The Henkel-Craig Live Stock Com pany, of Statesville, has bought from W. C. Wooten, commissioner, the valuable Adderholdt and Cloyd lands, about five miles from Statesvillet con taining 465 acres. The purchase price has not been made public, but It is known that it was around $10,000. The last time the property was offered at public sale by the commissioner the highest bid was $8,700. This sale was not confirmed and of course the priv ate bid which was confirmed Is an in creased one. All during the cold spell a citizen living on the western edge of States ville missed coal from his coal pile, but he made no special effort to catch the fuel thief. A few mornings ago, however, when the went to the coal pile he found in the place of the miss ing fuel a purse containing $5.40. It Is assumed that the purse Is- the property of the man who has been taking the coal and that he unknowingly paid for the coal by dropping the purse at the coal pile. No Evidence Against Wilson Caje Waiter Special to The News. Raleigh, Feb. 10. The colored head waiter, William Turner, in the Wil son Cafe, held under $1,000 bond on thee harge of the larceny of money, watch and revolver from the three Benson young men victims of asphyx iation in the Wilson apartments, had his hearing before Justice' of -the Peace R. G. Reed yesterday, and was released, there being no evidence whatever to justify holding the ne gro, who proved a good character by such men as John T. Pullen, E. Barbee and others. The warrant has been issued "on an affidavit of infor mation and belief by Rev. Sylvester Betts and there was effort to have the costs of the case taxed on him but the justice let it revert to the county instead, believing that there was nothing malicious in the action of Rev. Mr. Betts. The only notable witness was William Lewis, in whose home William Turner has a room. He had told Rev. Mr. Betts "that William Turner had, so he was told by his wife and others, had a big roll of money Monday night but he expected that it was $1 bills or Con federate money rolled up to make a show.

It Is more than probable that Rock Hill people" will have the opportunity of witnessing .the spectacular stunts usually pulled of by aviators during the meeting of the State Firemens' Association In June. The committee cn entertainment has been in corres pondence with the Curtiss people and the aeroplane company has agreed to send a machine here In case the committee decides to have the attrac tion. The only difficulty that now pre sents itself is the fact that there are no suitable grounds in the city, in which the exhibition' can. be given. However, it is believed that this can easily be overcome, and it is believed that the contract with the Curtiss people will be signed within the next week. ' For some time there has been agi tation regarding the erection of a large baseball park, with a seating capacity of three to four thousand, thep ark to be at a point where the car line can be constructed Nto it. Several business men, wrho love base-' ball, are interested in the project and within the next few days the matter will be taken up with the Carolina Traction Company regarding the con struction of such ap ark. The idea as outlined Is that the old baseball club re-organize and move the fence around the present grounds to a site to be leased. Then sell advertising space on the fence to meet the expense of building a much larger park than the one now here. The present grandstand could be enlarged at small expense and two bleachers could be constructed at small cost. The company could rent the grounds for shows and could no doubt have a number of college games here between teams represent ing colleges in North, and South Car olina. The present organization is carrying an indebtedness of several hundred dollars, but this could be carried over as at present and be paid off out of proceeds from the rental of the grounds for shows, etc. The plan is being favorably received and if suitable' grounds can be se cured at a point accessible to the car line, or an extension there is little doubt that such a park will be erect ed. In this case it is proposed to have a number of college games played here if "possible, by teams from North and South Carolina colleges. Raleigh, Feb. 10. The Btate board of education has approved the appro portionment of the second $100,000 state appropriation to bring the school term in the - weaker counties up to the four months term minimum, there being just fifty counties half the counties in the tate entitled to this aid. There were 66 last year when there wras lacking $30,000 ior enough to meet the demands. This time all fifty counties get sufficient funds and there is abount $13,000 left out of the $100,000. The decrease in the demand on the state appropria tion is due to the increase from 18 to 20 cents in the state school tax and to increase in tax valuation of property. So that the revenue-for the elementary public schools this year will beg reater by $350,000 than any previous-year. The counties receiv ing aid this year are: Alexander, $33,108 5-8. Alleghany, $3,603. Ashe, $3,079. Beaufort, $2,897. Bladen, $1,531. Burke, $1,422. Caldwell, $1,394. Camdpn, $1,316.. Carteret, S3,027. Caswell, ?2,799. Catawba, 51,750.

Peace Dinner For Secretary Knox Washington. Feb. 10. A peace din ner that is certain to surpass all simi lar functions that have been held this winter, . both in point of international importance and social brilliance, will be given in honor of Secretary of State Knox and the diplomatic corps to night, in the Pan-American Union building, with the members of the committee on foreign affairs of the house of representatives filling the parts of the genial hosts. This will be the first time in the his tory of diplomatic circles in Washing ton that secretary of state has been entertained by a committee of the house, and it is because of the estab lishment of a precedent, that the com mittee in charge of the affair have ex hibited unusual energy in the prelimi nary arrangements in order to set the banquet up as a worthy standard for all succeeding affairs of its kind. The plan to give a banquet, which would be attended by all the prominent diplomats of Washington, after such attempts had proved dismal failures in NewYbrk,' was originated by Repre sentative William Sulzer, of New York He suggested the idea to . the other members of the foreign affairs com mittee, who immediately agreed to stand an equal share of the expense encurred. Mr. .Sulzer will be toast-master and his principal duty will be to see that no other subject other than peace will be introduced or discussed and that harmony reigns supreme at the festal board. One of the purposes of the dinner will be to establish a more intimate and cordial understanding between the diplomats of the world and the mem bers of the legislative branch of the government, whereas they have dealt exclusively with the president and the secretary of state in the past. The special committee appointed by the foreign affairs committee to take charge of the banquet is composed of Representatives Sulzer, of New York, chairman; Foster, of Vermont; Sharp, of Ohio; Cooper of Wisconsin; Lin thicum, of Maryland, and Levy of New York.
