Miss Lowder and Jarvis were in the parlor talking wnen juiiier en tered. - She met him at the door and when he saw Jarvis in the room he rolled his pistol and began faring. The young lady maae a grao ior it but her desperate ' efforts to prevent the shooting were unavailable. Sever al shots went wild boring holes in furniture and otherwise scaring up the household, but the last shot went nearly true to the mark, striking' Jar vis in the collar of his coat just back of the neck. By this time the weapon was empty and Jarvis escaped. A 'phone 'call was sent in to po lifft headouarters and Chief Boger sent Policeman Miller and Sloop on the case. They met Miller coming down the street. He was-arrested and locked up. In talking to the of ficers about the shooting when they made the arrest "Miller said that he did not know Whether he had killed the man 'or not but that it was what he intended to do.

Car in Charge of Experts Who Showed Everything Jfecessary to Equip a a Small Dairy. An Entire Equip- ment Can Be Bought for About 200. V .The Southern Rail way's dairy car was. in Concord Friday on its tour through the western part of the State. The car is operated by the Land and Industrial Department of the South ern and its mission is strictly educative.- The car is in charge of experts, Dr. C M. Morgan, dairy agent of the Southern, J. P. Qtfrnerly, demonstra tor, I. 0. Schaub, of A. and Ml Col lege, and W. H. Eaton, State dairy man, being in charge. Quite 'a num ber of farmers visited the car and inspected the modern and up-to-date dairy equipment it contained. Mr. Eaton, State dairyman, stated, to a representative of this paper, that the, car .might be visited by a larger num ber of people on its tour but he did not expect to. find any visitors' more interested in the work than the ones from Cabarrus. The equipment of the car is ideal in every detail. Everything neces sary for equipping a small dairy farm wras exhibited, including churns, but terworkers, separators, Babcock test ers cream testers, ice boxes, shipping boxes, etc. One of the greatest, if not the greatest feature to the plant outside of the good results to be ob tained from modern machinery, is the fact that the entire equipment can be purchased by any person for5 abcut $200. , A plant for this cost is all that is necessary for a 20 to 30 cow farm. The equipment also contain ed a 2 h. p. boiler to furnish steam for washing anti sterlizing purposes. The experts in charge of the car plac ed special stress on this part of the equipment, as it is impossible to keep the . dairy clean and sanitary with out the use of steam. In this connec tion they also recommend that con rrpfp. floors and runmnz water be a part" of the equipment of the work room. The workroom should, be" as smallxis possible in order to make-the work of keeping it clean" and sani tary much easier. The dairy department ' of the de partment of agriculture will be glad to send blue prints of dairy barns, silos, and milk houses to any address. In addition to sending the plans the department will send a man to super intend the construction of the build ing. Both will be done without cost to the builder. The department is also conducting a milk record test. Tiiic tcf will aid the larmers in keeping a record of products of each cow and will assist him m weeaing out unprofitable, cows. It is recog nized among dairymen that any cow hat does not produce 200 pounds oi butter is a 'boarder" and it is Un profitable for the owner "to keep her. INI 411 111 STODEK DEATH OF MRS. D. B.

At 11:55 p. m. it -was impos. sible to get a reply from the stricken ship. The opinion was expressed. by Lap- . tain Moore that the enormous and un precedented ice pack , which he had encountered while hastening to tne wreck may have passed over the point where the Titanic sank," thus account ing for his not seeing wreckage and floating -bodies. ; He described the field of ice as more than twenty miles long, and between five and six miles wide. - Forty-One Counties Give f Roosevelt Five More Than Majority Vote.'
