LADY SERIOUSLY INJURED Mrs. Ken Grimes Has Narrow Escape From Death Sunday morning early while en gaged in cooking breakfast Mrs. Ken Grimes was fearfully bruised by fly ing pieces of iron, due to the bursttng of a water back and which literally tore the stove to pieces. She was wounded on the face, head and several places on the body and it is remarkable that she came out alive. A large hole was made in the walls of the kitchen by the explosion. Drs. Stanton and Turner were called to attend tne unfortunate woman. who was at first thought to be fa- tallyjinjured. Howeverjthe crisis has apparently passed and Mrs. Grimes is getting along as well as could be . ... expected lor one wounded so badly There were several other cases in the city where the water backs to stoves bursted but without serious trouble. In Greensboro and other places accidents were reported from the same cause and in a few towns death exacted its toll from the freezing of water backs in stoves. Ttiey are dangerous in cold weather and people should be slow to build a fire in the stove without they know everything is all right. ju(jge Cook Grants Habeas Corpus For Wineskie When court convened in Greens boro Monday morning. Mr. A. L. Brooks, attorney for Frank Wineskie, called up the habeas corpus case sued out Saturday night. Wineskie had been bound over to court on a charge of embezzling funds of the Standard Mirror Company of High Point, of which be was manager. iMr. Brooks claimed that Justice of the Peace Collins had no jurisdic tion to hear the case, since it be ,.nr,ir longed before tne High foint re- Judge Cook heard all the evl.

The 1 case will be tried in Hig'i Point now or the plaintiffs may wait until court meets and bring the matter before the grand jury, it is learned. In Magistrate Collins' court Wineskie Matiistrate Collins" court Wineskie i was held for the grand jury but it j eems that Collins' court was not legal in this case, hence the habeas corpus proceedings. It is a case in which High Point and the surrounding country has been much interested and the out come will be awaited with much concern. In rendering the judgment, his honor stated that he has never de clared an act of the general assem bly unconstitutional in all the period of his service as judge and he con sidered the power to do so one that should be used sparingly and with caution. He further stated that had he been a member of the appellate division of the judiciary system, he might not be able to make the pre vious statement, and his hearers were led to infer that his judg ment in the case today was not necessarily his opinion as to the constitutionality of the stat ute removing the authority of the justice of the peaee and establish ing the recorder's court. There was some talk of a bench warrant, but the judge did not issue one. and it is not likely that any further action will be taken until the next term of criminal court, when, it is thought, the grand jury will take action. It is said that Mr. Wineskie will demand a trial.

For several years the board of education has been increasing the per capita ap portionment at the rate of 10 cents a year, and the larger increase this year is made possible by the extra tax levy authorized by the last leg islature.

The coldest weather in ten years says the close observer, in speaking of the ' spell" of the past two weeks. The plumbers have done a good business during the freezing weath er. It's an ill wind that blows no one good. High Point needs a man who knows how to inspect all the plumb ing done, and then see that it is done according to law. If this was the case much money would be saved the individual and perhaps loss of life. New Ads This Week Leonard-Beavans-Stamey Co;, 1st page. . Home Banking Co , 8th page.

In its work work of steam guag ing measuring the flow and vol ume of rivers by up to date meth ods the United States Geological Survey co-operated during the past fiscal year with thirteen states, the states contributing over $49,000, and the survey doing the work. The j Geolojical Survey also cooperat- ed in this work with the Reclama tion Service, the Office of Indian Affairs, and the Forest Service. Ninety-six guaging stations were maintained in cooperation with the Reclamation service, thirteen in co operation with the Indian Office, and 194 in cooperation with the Forest Service on streams draining National Forests. In all 1,105 guag ing stations were in operation at the close of the last fiscal year. It has been rumored that the President and Postmaster General Hitchcock are at outs because Hitchcock recommended that the government take hold of the tele graph lines and operate same. How ever there seems to be no founda -tion for such, and at last accounts the reporters have these two promi nent persons as lovely as two sick kittens. HERE AND THERE Miss Matilda Gerringer. of Gibson ville. was burned to death Monday. While standing in front of a fire place her clothes became ignited and she was burned to a crisp be fore help arrived. She was 70 years of age. The cruiser Hai Chi, which recent ly visited America, has ioined the Chinese revolutionists Hai Chi was one of China's best boats. The butter trust has raised the mice of the creamery stuff to 40c lb , saying that the market could easily stand it. We guess so. the market and especially the buyer generally have to stand what the trusts put unon them. The reported massacre of 10.000 Manchus bv the rebels in the Shen Si district has been confirmed, Kan Su with the Imperial army, after Wd fighting, succeeded in pushing wav to within 60 miles of Sian Fu The entire province of Shen Si 's in turmoil, and manv towns have boen looted and deserted. Dr. Cook, the explorer of the North pole, lectured to a large crowd in Greensboro Tuesday night. Wednesday night he spoke in Win ston and was introduced by Hon. Cyrus B Watson. You are all right, Cook, old bov. We do not doubt you in the least when you say you sat on the toppermost part of the e8rth. notwithstanding Peary, et als. The single srory building on South Elm street, Greensboro, owned by W. F. Clegg. and( heretofore occupi ed by the New Royal Cafe, a re cently established shoe store, Clegg's shooting gallery and Saleeby's fruit stand, was gutted by an early morning fire Monday. The revolutionists over in China have massacred 10 000 of the Im perialists, which is to say that number of the emperor's stickers. Already a republic has been estab lished vith Dr Sun. a native Chinese and a Christian, sfange to relate, as president Things are quite lively in the kingdom of rice and rats. Anyhow the decision of Judge Cook, until reversed, establishes the relative strength of recorder and a magistrate. Happiness There is never rain enough in the world to drown all the roses. There is always one for Love to wear on his breast. anouia misiortune overtake you, retrench, work harder, but never re treat; confront difficulties with un flinching perseverance. Should you then fail, you will be honored; but shrink and you will be despised. Trouble comes to some of us be cause we spend more time in hop ing for the best than we do in work ing for it. Taking the world as we find it is good philosophy, but trying to take it all is quite a different matter. Queer about this thing happiness. The more of it you give to others the more you have. A little expression of praise and appreciation to one who is trying to do right and be of some use in the world will often fill his heart with happiness of the kind which will make him, though discouraged, take heart again. The habit of blaming others when when things go wrong is an insidi ous and dangerous one. Far more is it to the purpose to inquire within whether the fault, or much of it, may not lie at home. Selected. s Coal Law Needs Amending, The present coal-land law has one serious defect, which would be reme died if a leasing law is not enacted. The restriction of area that may le gally be acquired to a maximum of 160 acres for an individual and 640 acres for an association is not in ac cord with good mining practice. The fixed charges on the cost of a mod ern coal mine, provided with the up-to-date equipment necessary to conserve life and property and to assure maximum recovery, are too lligh to be assessed against the out put of so small a tract, especially if the coal seam is of only moderate thickness. A law designed to pro mote the practical utilization of coal deposits, whether the system con templates, sale or lease, must pro vide for the holding of a large enough unit to permit the opening and equipment of a modern mine and to warrant its economical oper ation. Without such provision for commercial operation too great an advantage is given to the land- grant railroads and large coal com panies already in possession of cot siderable areas of hhih-grade coal.
