It seems that young Lanning. McQuinn, and about twenty other boys were in swimming this afternoon at a point near the mouth of the Swannanoa and French Broad rivers, -where the river is not only deep in places but wide, when McQuinn, far out in the river and away from his companions, gave che signal of distress. Lanning, a magnificent swimmer, went to the rescue and succeeded in gett ing a firm hold on the drowing companion. Lanning started for shore sup porting McQuinn, and in the meantime three other members of the party swam out to meet Lanning and McQuinn to lend aid in the rescue. They met Lann ing and McQuinn some distance from the shore, and just as they they caught hold of McQuinn and started for the shore, Lanning sank. The trio of rescuers :vere unable to save Lanning from the swift current, although they were successful in saving Mc- Quinn's life. Several members of the party, it is said, started to the rescue and dived, but were unable to find the body. Two members of the party came to town, a distance of more than tw miles, to notify the coroner. At 8 o'ciock the body had not been recovered. Salisbury, July 22.—Jim Can up, a colored convict on the Row an county chain gang, attempted to escape last night and was shot down by Guard Lentz.

North Dakota is to erect a monument to Theodore Roosevelt and the work of collecting has been begun by the Roosevell Monument Association. The commission for designing the statue has been given to Gus tav Vigeland, the greatest of Norwegian sculptors, who already submitted several sketches. The purpose of the statue is not only to honer the President, who is called the most illustrious of the adopted sons of North Dakota, but to promote interest in art, and particularly monu mental art, and in the history of of the State. —Washington Her ald. Farmers of Mississippi have determined to hold their cotton off the market. Ware houses are being established in every community. President Roosevelt has ac cepted the hononry presidency of'the peace and arbitration league. This league is the out growth of the North Carolina Congress and its object is ade quate armament and effective arbitration. Beginning Monday August 3rd the Knights of Rythias will hold their 25th convention of the Su preme Lodge in Boston. They are expecting at least 50,000 members and their friends.

A large member of Lincolnites went to Omaha tc participate in his initiation. Texas Election. In the Democratic Primarj election held last Saturday Gov, Campbell was renominated by i majority of about 75.000. Re turns show that the State wide prohibition proposition is lost. Public Schools "At the very foundation o: every successful school systen lies the practical problem o necessary physical equipment ii houses, furniture and grounds 4 * * What, then, should be th character of these public school houses where the business of edu eating nine out of ten of th State's children for citizenship and social service is carried on' What is the character of this strange business that men cal education? It has to do with mine and soul and body. It has to do with the formation of habit, with the shaping of character, with the creation of ideals. It is sen sible and it is insensible. Some times I think there is something that strikes and lasts longer in the silent, potent in fluence of association and envi ronment, in the insensible educa tion that inevitably comes there | from, than there is in all that comes from your sensible educa tion, from all your study of books, from all your formal lesson-teach ing. What should be the char acter of the place where such a sacred work is to be carried out? Within, shall it be a hovel or a home, a place of beauty or a place of ugliness, a place of cleanness or a place of uncleanness? With out, shall the grass grow green and the sun shine bright and the flowers bloom and the birds sing and the trees wave their long arms, or shall it be bleak and bare and barren, where Nature, God's great teacher, never whis pers to the children her sweet messages of peace and love and beauty from the Master?"—J. Y. Joyner. The North Carolina Club is one of the features of the U. Va., Summer School. Its officers are as follows Pres. J. J. Blair, Vice- Pres. Nannie Smith, Secretary & Treasurer Lina Wiggins. Hickory Team Made up of Col lege Stars.* The Hickory Team was a little late getting started but has beer going at a breakneck speed once they did get under way. Tne success of the team is accounted for by the the personnel of the team all of whom have made their mark in base ball circles. Abernethy, the catcher is from Stanley and held down the second sack at A & M last year. Inci dentally he made a reputation for himself as a heavy batter and has been adding to it by his stick work at Hickory. He lined out a single that unlocked the 14 inning tie with Wadosboro recently. Johnson, the captain of the of the team is a Davidson man and like Abernethy a second base artist. With Hickory he covers rirst. His home is at Charlo' te. Booe is playing second for Hickory but is something of a pitcher on his own account. He recently pitched a no hit game pgainst the Wadesboro team not ed for their slugging qualities. He is from Davidson. Best is a Hickory man and one of the fastest players on the team. He disputes with Abernethy and Yount the honors of heavy batt ing and can alwavs be reliel on to pull the team out of a bad place. He played with Catawba College last year. Black who played with A & M last year is playing 3rd with Hickory. He is from Mooresville. Kirk patrick is another Hick ocy man who has made good in a strange land. He is captain of the Erskine nine for next year and the honor of being the heaviest batter on the team. Cooper is from Statesville and Johnson, S. from Charlotte and both safe and consistent players. Yount, probably the best slug ger on the team, has played or the strong Lincolnton and Ches ter team and is an all round play er in several positions. In criti cal situations he has a habit oJ putting the ball over the fence for a homer. He is from Conover The team has been playing to gether but a short time but hav won the majority of games play ed. It is worth the town's whil to support them as we are gla t) see they are inclined to do. The attendance at the game: has sensibly increased since thi covering has been put over th grand-stand. King's Mountain, N. C., Jul: 27.—The stock and fixtures of th Corner Drug Co., were destroy e last night about 1 o'clock by fire Only a few show cases were sav ed. The incorporaters were C A.
