POISONED BY ICE CREAM. flore Than Fifty Persons the Effects. Sick from An ice cream supper was given Fri day night at Archdale for the benefit of the brass band of that place. Almost everybody in the community was there and a most pleasant evening Ice cream was the principal refresh ment seryed and all partook of it very freely, little dreaming, that on the mor row some of them would be lying near- death's door on account of it. The cream poisoned nearly everyone who ate it, making them deathly sick. We understand that Dr. Tomlinson had fifty patients who were violently ill. It is not known what poisoned the cream the vessel in which it was made or the flavoring which was put in it. Veterinary Medical Association. 1 The North Carolina Veterinary Med ical Association will meet in Char lotte, September 7th and 8th. All members, both honorary and active, are earnestly requested to be present, as there is much business to be trans acted. All members of the medical profes sion, ana tnose wno are in sympatny with the welfare of our dumb animals and wish them protected by the State, are cordially invited. The object of this association is the advancement of veterinary, medical and sanitary science in North Caroli na. There are now several contagious diseases of the domestic animals, some of which are communicable to man- kind, abroad in our State, which needs official attention. None of our cities have any scientific inspection of foods and we continue to eat contami nated milk and diseased meat with as much relish as if it had been inspect ed. We have a number of determined workers in our association but we need the co-operation of the people who have tender hearts and kind feel ings for our faithful friends and who realize the importance of strict sani tary regulations throughout the State. Meet us in Charlotte. Yours truly, j J. W. Petty, D. V. S., Sec. and Treas. Greensboro, Aug. 23. State papers please copy.

During the week further effort will be made to unite the Woman's Relief Corps and the Ladies of the Grand Army. DANGEROUSLY WOUNDED. One Negro Shoots Another Four Times, Then Skips. Yesterday morning two of Winston's gay and festive colored citizens (Geo. Howard and William Tatum by name ) were engaged in a game of "craps" in the eastern part of the city when, as is often the case when such a game is being indulged in, a dispute arose over some trivial matter. strong language wnicn naa no un certain meaning was indulged in until Howard's thirst for gore got the better of him, when he pulled a revolver from his pocket and proceeded to bore holes through the body of Tatum, four balls taking effect. After the shooting was over, and be fore a policeman arrived on the scene, Howard made good his escape. He came in the direction of Greensboro and it is thought that he is probably here now. A doctor was called to attend Tatum, who is now said to be getting alon&r fairly well. The doctor probed three of the balls from his body, the fourth one having gone thr ough the calf of his leg. WOKE THE WRONG PASSENGER. Burglar Enters the Residence of Su perintendent Campbell. One jot the coolest pieces of work done recently was at Proximity Mills the other night. Some one came to the shutters of Superintendent Campbell's window and began working at it. Mr. Campbell was awake, but lay perfectly still and let the burglar con tinue operations. It did not require very, long for him to get the window open and crawl inside; then Mr. Camp bell sprang out of bed and went for his revolver, which was lying on the mantle, and the burglar went for the window. Mr. Campbell fired several shots at him as he ran, but failed to bring him down. If this was to be the beginning of the petty burglaries that have troubled other towns, this warm reception given will probably nip it in the bud. All the same, Mr. Campbell should keep his revolver nearer at hand, as the next burglar might get the drop on him. Goods Coming In. Messrs. Fordham & Ball, who came here last week to run a racket store, have leased the store at 113 East Mar ket street, next to G. W. Denny's, and are busy opening their stock of goods. They expect to be open to the public by the 25th Wednesday. They will run a general racket store with goods up to date and prices to suit everybody. They will be pre pared to meet all competition. We wish these clever gentlemen much suc cess. s Superior Court Convenes. The regular August term of our Su perior vourt convened this morning with His Honor, Sponcer B. Adams, on the bench. The judge's charge to the grand jury was stronar. It was rather long, His Honor covering about all the ground. The first case called was State vs. Josh Williams, colored, for abandon ment. . Two colored lawyers, Fitts and La nier by name, are here from Winston, attending-court. HE N. AND I Preparing for the Opening October 7th New Course of Lectures r i A Telegram man had the pleasure this morning of being shown through this school, that is doing so much for the young women of North Carolina; doing too what no other school can do because of its phenomenally low charges puts it within the reach of large num bers who could not otherwise go to college at all. Of. the yearly attend ance not-less than 75 per cent, say they could not have attended elsewhere. When the advantages, both in the way of home comforts and facilities for in struction, are considered itj is wonder ful that students can be taken for $90 a year. That this isr appreciated is shown by the prospects of an unusually brilliant opening this fall. Still there are large numbers of North Carolina girls who cannot pay even this small charge as was' shown in a recent instance. The manage ment decided to have the dining room served by sixteen young ladies, all ex penses to be paid by such service, and in a very brief space more than forty applications were received "from young women anxious to take advantage of the opportunity. It is difficult to over estimate the work this institution is doing for that class in the State whose lives would be "bound in shallows" without it. The plastering of the buildings, which has been in the rough up to this time, is now being plasticoed and tint ed a soft green that gives the rooms a pleasing and restful appearance. The wood work, which was plain, is being finished in cherry which harmon izes excellently with the new plaster ing and adds greatly to the beauty of the inner building. The domitories are also being thoroughly overhauled and put in condition for the coming occupants. President Mclver authorizes us to announce to the public that there will be at the State Normal and Industrial College during the coming school year, a course of entertainments and lectures of the highest order. Any who may desire to secure season tickets! can do so at the usual rates; or, if they pre fer, after the course is . announced, to buy tickets for single entertainments, they can do that. Joe Jackson Converted. j It is reported that Joe Jackson, who is more or less well known to j every body in Guilford county, has been converted at one of Mr. Leef!s meet ings in High Point. 1 If Mr. Lee's meetings in HigPoint were to resuit in no other good' than the conversion of such a man as Joe Jackson, then the evangelist j might count himself well repaid for all the efforts put forth.
