I A Mummy’s Curse FitUfilled. ] London, April G.—The misfortune which has overtaken Lord Carnarvon in his explorations of the Pharoah’s i tomb at Luxor, and which has fur nished the superstitious with much food for discussion, has served to call |to mind the weird story of a famous mummy which is to be seen in the Rritish Museum. ! The mummy, which is that of an I Egyptian- who died about 850 B. (\. ! was bought by a Mr. Walter Ingram ! from a dealer when serving in one of I I be Nile campaigns. 1 Unfortunately, a misunderstanding averse about the price. When tl e deal er bad parted with the mummy he found that the buyer was not. wiping ■1 o pay the amount lie had expected, land in bis anger he cited an ancient ! curse. _ The mummy was brought to Fng- I land and presented to Lady Meux b.v , Mr. Ingram. When its heivoglyphics | came to b* 1 deciphered, part of the in iseription was found to have been <-op ied from an ancient papyrus in the possession of the British Museum, at the end of which was the following curse: “If any person of any foreign coun try, whether he lie black man, or Ftlii opan. or Syrian, carry away this writ ing or it be stolen by a thief, then whosoever does this no offering shall he presented to their sotds. they shall never enjoy a draught of eold water, they shall never more breathe the air. no son and no daughter shall arise from their seed, their name shall be remembered no longer upon earth, and most assuredly they shall never see the beams of flu* Disc (Sun-God).” In TXSt> the cruse began to take ef fect. for in that year Mr. Ingram was killed by an enraged elephant. The mummy remained in the Meux collec tion, and in 19<M) Sir Henry Meux died childless. The baronetcy thus became extinct, and another clause of the 'curse was fulfilled. Spring Flower Show.

Among the notable improvements which will mark the Southern As sembly grounds at Lake Junaluska, N. C„ when Methodist clans gather there for iheir usual summer season of de nominational activities, will be tin* new standard training school build ing, property of the general Sunday school board ol’/the M. E. Church, South. According to A. L. Dietrich, business manager ol' the. board, the building is already under way and will be a model of convenience. It will be erected at a total cost of about ,$50,000 and is expected to be ready for use during the. six weeks training school for Sunday school workers in July and August. Mr. Dietrich says that foundations for the new building aio now being laid. Tin* building will have a front age of 150 feet and will be 90 feet deep. It will contain 20 class rooms, a large lobby with galleries, stage and moving picture booth. There will be a library and reading room, faculty rooms, offices for the Sunday school editor and general secretary and busi ness offices. The budding is located on to crest of the*, hill between the* up per and lower lakes and faces east erly toward the new missions building. It is on the property recently pur chased from F. N\ Cole, of Charlotte, and adjoins otlie,r property owned by the Sunday school hoard and ooeu pied hy its cafeteria and dormitories. The Phillips Construction Company, of NVaynesville. have* the* contract and an*-already at work. The building was planned by the areliitoreturnl de partment of the Board of Church Ex tension of the* M. E. Church, South. The architectural secretary of that Beard. .1. A. Taylor, is co-operating with the* Sunday school board in the move to provide buildings especially adapted to Sunday-school uses. Sunday school loaders at Nashville headquarters express the opinion that the approaching season at Lake .Tuna luska will be among tlu* most success ful in they history of the Southern As sembly. They say that a record breaking crowd is a\nectod for the. season at Junaluska. All Six Defendants in the Herrin Case Are Aeequitted. / Marion. 111., April t». —All six of the defendants in the second He.rrion riots trial were found not guilty after the jury had deliberated six hours and 55 minutes. The second Herrin mine riots trial ended abruptly .today when the de.- fensc* waived its right to argument J after Otis Glenn, special assistant at torney general had completed the* op ening address for the prosecution. The case* was given to tile jury at 4:22 p. m. In his closing instruction Judge D. T. Hartwell indicated four possible ; verdicts, for each of the six defend ants: Guilty ns charged in the in dictment yith sentences of death, a .life term in the penitentiary, an iq | determinate term in the penitentiary or not less than 14 years, or a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Glenn did not ask a death pen alty but said he would leave tlu* sen tences to the conscience of tno jury, “although no crime in the history of world ever more fully merited hang ing.” The. defense rested hopes of a speedy acquittal on the alibis iT presented for the six defendants: Hugh Willis, executive hoard member of the Illi nois mine workers, and J a lues Brown. Oscar Howard. Phillip Foiltanetta, Otis Clark and Burt Gmee, all mem bers of the. miners union. Sandhills Pencil Crop is Not Utterly Riii i lied. Southern Pines. April s.—Current rumors that the Sandhills peach crop has been annihilated by recent heavy frosts are being replaced by state ments that increased production in new bearing trees will replace, in the Belle and Carmen varieties, the , ravages of the frost. The Alberta crop, according to those in c:ose touch with the peach situation, nas been seriously curtailed, but that the Belle and Carmen peaches are plenti ful, is the general opinion. The esti j mates that the 1,500 cars of peaches ; shipped from the Sandhills last year has decreased to 500 ears is thought problematical and with the increase in the total number of bearing trees that the production will fall only a little short of the last year’s ship ments.
