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.

An affair that promises to be of un
usual interest to the people of Con

METHODISTS' BUILD AT
J UNA LUSK A LAKE
New Sunday School Building Among
improvements at Southern Assent
bly.
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.
I In Cornwall there is ,*i tradition that
King Arthur still lives in the form of
a raven, and that one day he will be
changed back to a man again, and all
England will ring once with his
fame.

Will Argue the Question of Tax Fv-!
empt Securities.
Davidson. N. (\, April 5 —The debat
ing teams of Trinity and Davidson

of Tax-Exempt Securities Should Be 1
Prohibited by an Amendment to the
Federal Constitution.”
Each learn will be represented by I
three speakers. The three that will

well prepared speeches, resulting in a
spirited and close preliminary.
Both Trinity and Davidson have had
