CBgrlotte, Aug. 27.—The South on September 19th here at the famous Carolina mile-and-a-quarter board speedway is destined to see the revival of the most thrilling of passenger car races. Stock cars from the greatest American factories are to roar around the mammoth oval in a thrilling 75- mile classic, with world renowned drivers at the wheels. „ Abandoned years ago when the steadily mounting speed of specially built and costly racing cars forced stock cars from competition, the major factories this year reentered racing, thrilling massed thousands when the innovation was staged for the first time early in the summer at the Atlantic City speedway. While Hartz, DePaolo, DeVore, Duray, Lockhart and the other daring speed kings will pilot their midget race cars in the 25 mile, 50 mile and 100 mile championship events, reach ing speeds around 130 miles an hour, many of these noted drivers will also hold steering wheels in the 75 mile stock car event. Lockhart on July 4th at the Salem. N. H., track was chosen over all European drivers to pilot the imported ! Mercedes stock car in the feature 75 i mile race there 1 and drove one of the most spectacular duels of his vivid career. Except that windshields, lights and fenders are removed, the cars in this special event on September 19 will be stirctly the same as the models shown by dealers throughout the South. Technical experts of the American Automobile, Association check every bolt and cotter key, measure the cylinders and weigh the cars to make certain that they are identical with those regularly rolled down the as sembly lines for sale to the motoring public.

Boat Writes in Greens boro News of the Capital's Viewpoint of Case Tried in This City. The Greensboro News’ Raleigh bureau, conducted by Tom Boat, sent out Saturday the following story of the verdict in the Pentuff suite here: Defeat last night in a Cabarrus county litigation wherein a pious plaintiff, Rev. Mr. Pentuff, loses everything in an evolutionary con flict with less pious Park and far less sacrosanct Coffin, Raleigh Times de fendants, moves Raleigh, all aad sun dry to believe that the last licking is the worst of them all For thin week’s litigation in Con cord is the first that has had a fair chance before that supreme expres sion of Deity’s will, the “socran pe-e-pul.” All other evolutionary de bates have been taken before the gen eral assembly or in some school. There wasn’t a thing in the world in that Pentuff-Park controversy except evolution. Brother Pentuff came down to Wake county and lectured at . Fuquay Springs. Brother W. H. Blanchard thought highly of the per formance and saw that it got a glorious chronicling. Notice was serv ed on the bad folks by the good folks, that the schools which are supported, almost in toto by the good folks, must not be polluted by the salary-grab bing bad folks. Editor Coffin, who did not know one-tenth as much about Brother Pentuff as. the Cdhcortr Wuil twjce disctfpjed* raised, a Wunderbus and. triming both barrets at his rever ence, shut eyes and blazed away. The shot took effect and Mr. Pentuff call ed for help. Zebulon Vance Turlington came over from Iredell where everybody is good folks, and took the Lord’s side. Morrison H. Caldwell and his power fully nice boy, made it 100 per cent Colvin, and the bad folks had to put up their hands. The bad folks chose ’ General Albert Cox, Christian soldier, to aid the two Luther Hartsells, jun ior and senior. The HartseUs had been good folks, that is to sdy, they are fellow members, with Messrs Caldwell and Mr. Turlington, though not all of the same Christiar camp. Messrs Park and Coffin were accused of slandering and libeling Dn Pen tuff -$60,000 worth and Dr. (Pentuff presented an astonishing bill of par ticulars. The epigrammatic Morrison Caldwell fashioned a description of Dr. Pentuff as “a preacher without a church and a teacher without a school,” and these Hartsells, junior and senior, dad and son, pere et tils, these Hartsells, named for old Martin Luther, went ahead and- tried this holy case just as they would have directed any other cause, absolutely ignoring its sanctied investments and treating it rs though the anti-evshi tionist kingdom were of this world. There never has been any such im piety in this state. There were these good folks frantically begging the ■ jury to give Mr. Pentuff some money, for “the high priest of infidelity” had called him an “immigrant igno ramus,” unmannerly and uncharitable in debate. The inconsequential tact that the minister had gone every where and stayed npwhere, had stud ied everything and apparently been able to use nothing, could be waived. What if Dr. Pentuff did tell ten times j as much on himself as Coffin ever would have dared to write. Mr. Pen tuff is good folks and Mr. Coffin is bad folks; Mr- Pentuff is a preacher without a church and a teacher with out a school, while Mr. Coffin is only a Methodist without a church and a teacher without a University of North Carolina job. The capital with almost one ac cord rates the finish salutary. This is ' the last and the grandiose effort to agitate among the untutored. The committee of 100, Simon pure godd folks, tried it first and failed. The Bible leaguers took it up and carried their fight to the legislative floors, only to find that there were not 'enough men on the Lord's side to get His will before the lower bouse on a minority report. The Wake people tn viting Dr. Pentuff, made their drive • against legislative candidates and the j devil captured the whole delegation. The papers, the .teachers, the liberal preachers even, were blamed for mis leading the folks at home. And now & Cabarrus jury, with no evilutionists to “gog and magog” it, with only the good folks to testify, to direct ex aminations and reasons before the twelve, ignores everything save the injunction to let the verdict speak the truth, and romes into court with the unblushing declaration that the newspaper told that truth, and comes intor court with the unblushing ae ’aration that the newspaper told truth, and sent “the plaintiff without flay.” The one chance to get the ex iression of an average man on this subject was furnished by Cabarrus. The record is 100 per cent. Legis’a tures, chnrch conventions, school con claves. and now a petit jnry have said that they do not care to have the sub ject of biology made a political issue in North Carolina, Incidentally, the Cabarrus Dutch.

About five minutes later, she said, Mrs. Willis came to ‘her bedroom and said “You girls must go with me. I believq Sam’s been shot” They went into the yard, she con tinued, and although it was dark, Mrs. Willis*, according to the witness de clared ton«h 'J& or 40 feet from the garage said, “there is Sam’s ear.” The witness said she could not 4fe the car. A moment later Mrs. Willis cried, the witness related: “There’s Sam's body, and hi'* dead.” On cross examination she admitted she heard no one run into the house after the shooting. Sam Willis >and Mrs. Willis, she said, seemed to har* had a very happy affectionate bom* life. The state drew from witness testi mony that after Townsend was ar rested Mrs. Willis came to her and asked. .j “Are you against me?” On cross examination, she admitted* she knew at the time Mrs. Willis had been named in rumors connecting her with the murder. |4 ■ f DIVISION OF INCOME OF ESTATE IS FIXED Two Sons of Angler Duke Will Re ceive Large Amounts From Father's Estate.
