fatal headway before she could
be saved from the flames. Dr.

expect to sell everything and
leave." The maximum penalty
for such marriages in Virginia is
$500 fine and six months in
prison. Should they live here the
statute would apply even though
the ceremony were performed
eisewhore. Turner fears prose
cution before he can sell out
and depart. He says his second
rife, who was Mrs. Rykes,
requsted him shortly before her
death to marry her grand daugh
ter. Mrs. Walter Hayes, in Gates
ville, today besought the girl not
to marry Turner, but she would
not listen to her.
Can WeMake the Bow J
The Wddesboro Curior thinks
tfcfat the proposed railroad from
Wadesb'oro to Winston Could- be
pulled out of direct line andmacje
to come by Concord. As a mt
ter of course we all jump. on to
everything of that, kind bul look
ing on the map Makes it alittle
discouraging. It would take a
very heavy pull to make such a
bowbut'.o the road. To us it
looks rather hopeless, but if our
enterprising moHyedmen ean see
Un favor of it we'll throw up our
hat for it of course. It would
