Thirty Dollars in Prizes to be Awarded Owners
Of Cars in City and County Hickory
Will be in Gala Dress for
Occasion
A great street parade, with deco
rated automobiles, the Hickory band,
horsemen, bicycles, Boy Scouts, the lo
cal military company, fraternal or
ders and the fire department parti
cipating in connection with Home
Coming Day, was mapped out last
night at a meeting of the directors of
the Catawba Fair Association, and the
greatest enthusiasm was reported
from every section of the county. In
addition to Ilome-Coming Day, there
will be Educational Day, and the chair
men of the three committees reported
progress.
Mr. A. M. West, chairman of Home
Coming Day, was the first to report
on the activities of himself ami
Messrs. J. Lee Stone and H. E.
Whitener. Other directors threw
boquets at this committee for its
work. It was planned to give prizes
of $10.00 and $5.00 for the best deco
rated automobiles from the city and
similar prizes for decorated automo
biles from the county. The first
prize in each case will be $10.00 and
the second $5.00. The city will be
decorated for all three days, and this
will be the biggest fair in the county's
history.
One of the conditions governing the
awarding of prizes is that the ma
chines must be "loaded to overflowing
with Catawba county girls." It is ex
pected that owners of automobiles
will have no trouble in filling their
cars with lassies, and it is believed
that great interest will be shown in
this feature of the parade. The mer
chants are expected to close between
11 and 12.
Schools to Take Tart.
Prof. C. M. Staley, chairman of the
educational committee, said that he
had assurances that the Highland
school not only would be in the pa
rade on the second day, but would
have exhibits at the fair. The Hick
ory schools of course will be in all the
exercises of that day, and it was ex
pected that all the schools near here
would be in the parade and place
exhibits.
Employ Hickory Band.
The directors voted to accept the
'terms of the Hickory band to fur
nish music for the occasion, and the
local musicians will be told to get
their music, any extra players need
ed, and to get ready for the event.
Mr. Lutz Interested.
Mr. Tl. P. Lutz. one of Catawba's
best known farmers, was present at ,
the meeting, and told of his interest! (By the Associated Press)

CARVING ARTIST IS
FINED TVENTY BONES
Marian Hoover, whose artistic hand
ling of a handleless i-azor must have
excited the admiration of those less
gifted in the science of surgery, paid
$20 and costs into the coffers of the
city yesterday afternoon and was re
leased from custody. Those who saw
the cuts inflicted on Marguerite Bar
ringer, her hapless victim, pronounc
ed the work well-nigh perfect. A

wanted for interfering with an officer,
was called and failed, he forfeiting a
bond of $10. His brother, G. O. Mil

lights in a Pullman car and had tamp

number of persons in the waiting room
being thrown into excitement.
There is no clue.

CELEBRATION AT
LENOIR ON
Doctor "Simon Peter Long of Mans
field, Ohio, delivered a powerful, in
structive and inspiring lecture at Len
oir College last night on the subject:
"What a Word is This!" He discussed
the "Plan of the Word," the "Purpose
of the Word," the "Purity of the
Word," the "Power of the Word."
To hear Doctor Long is to appre
ciate him. No report of his efforts
can give any adequate conception of
his power.
This morning he led. the chapel
service and spoke on "Lessons from a
Shoe," a message from a shoemaker
to young students. As a youth Doc
tor Long had learned the shoemaking
trade.
The shoe should fit, the shoe should
have a good insole; the shoe should
have broad, low heels; the shoe should
be polished when worn, and the shoe
when worn out should be thrown away.
This was one of the most suggestive
and helpful chapel talks ever heard
at the college.
A cordial invitation is extended to
the friends and patrons of the college
in and around Hickory to attend the
quarto-centennial celebration of the
opening of the college tomorrow at
10:30 a. m. The exercises promise to
be of a high order and most enjoyable.
Remember the picnic dinner and if
convenient bring -a well-filled basket.
Come and help make this the great
est day in the history of the college
is the invitation extended by the pres
ident. $100 FOR MOONLIGHT SCHOOLS
Raleigh, Sept. 22. Dr. J. Y. Joy
ner, state superintendent of public
instruction, has announced that a
friend, whose -name is withheld, has
contributed a $100 check to be ap
plied to the moonlight school move
ment. The department was very
much gratified over the gift.

IS STILL AT LARGE
Albemarle, Sept. 22. John Hodgin,
the negro convict, who shot and killed
J. C. Freeman, assistant foreman and
convict guard, near here Saturday, has
not been captured in spite of the fact
that a large number of men and a
number of bloodhounds have been on
his trail and trying to locate him since
the shooting Saturday.
He was seen yesterday going north
from Whitley and had changed clothes
since he had been seen before. It also
seems that he had used something on
his feet to kill the scent, as the dogs
were not able to take up his trail.
He had removed the chains that were
on his ankles when the murder was
committed.
The number of hunters has dwindl
ed some, but there are still organized
forces in the chase. The hunters have
divided into shifts and still have hopes
of catching the negro.
TWO ARRESTS MADE

the men. Palmer was the janitor of

THE LAST DAY OF
CONFERENCE
WAS BEST
The best of the three days of the
Missionary Training Conference held
at Lenoir College was Monday. Meth
ods were discussed in detail of how to
put our zeal and enthusiasm for mis
sions into practical every-day life.
At the 10 o'clock open parliament on
Church Efficiency and Methods of
Missionary Education, Dr. Cronk
brought out the fact that effective
work demands leaders, and that
these leaders must be trained,
from among the congregation's
own number. He pointed out the
fact that a small congregation having
a few well trained leaders filled with
enthusiasm will accomplish more than
a large congregation in which there
is no one to take, charge of the vital
issues that arise! and confront the
church. He saidthat the church of
ficers of any congregation should meet
at stated times f 6 study to fit them
selves for the important offices they
hold, and that if they were unwilling
to do this, they should resign. Dr.
Cronk pointed out that the develop
ment of the congregation as a body is
most essential, and how emphasis
should be placed On the study of mis
sions, and how the meetings should be
started with whatever number mav
first assemble, because the work will
grow as the days go by.
At 11:30 a. mv Dr. Patterson took
charge of the audience. His strong
personality and his appealing message
interested and held the attention of
his hearers until long past the noon
hour.
At 3 o'clock the open parliament on
Stewardship and Finance was highly
instructive and educational. It is a
rare privilege to sit m conierence
with these men of God, filled with
zeal and enthusiasm for the things
that are lasting and which shall not
perish nor pass away. They have
scattered seed into soil that will pro
duce a harvest in the years to come,
greater than any expectations.
Dr. Cronk closed the conference
with his illustrated lecture, "The
World Appeal." One must needs be
present to see and hear to appreciate
such a splendid lecture. Dr. Cronk's
pictures were the prettiest and most
interesting ones ever seen views
from Japan, China, India, Africa, and
a number of American views were
thrown upon the screen in such a de
lightful arrangement that the large
audience was held as if spellbound.
The entire conference, together
with these great men, will long be re
membered by the large number of
people who have been attending.
EXTRA SESSION NOW

HEALTH OF CITY
TALKED BY
City council last night spent most
ol the regular session in discussing
?alth matters and kindred subjects,
leaving for a snecial meptincr TTVirlnv
night consideration of the revised or
dinances. Dr. T. C. Blackhnrn. Htv
physician, .was asked about m"e nens.
and he told council the farther these
could be placed from residences the
better would the town fare. Members
remarked that there was a great deal
of interest in the question, and that
there was a surprising number of peo
ple who favored eliminating the pens
from the more congested districts of
the city.
Surface closets also came in for
discussion. Dr. Blackburn told council
that these were worse than big pens,
that they cause the snread of tvnhoid
fever, and besides are a general nui
sance. The matter of eliminating
them as rapidly as possible was con
sidered, and it was the opinion of
council that water should be placed
in every home as soon as it could be
done. These matters were not acted
on at last night's meeting, however,
but will come ud for consideration
when the revised ordinances are taken
up again, probably Friday night.
Messrs. J. H. Huggins and J. C. Mc-
Iver, who believed that their homes
were in the city, appeared before
council and asked that their children
be allowed to attend the city schools.
Since part of their property is in the
limits, and since both men had paid
city taxes heretofore, council decided
that their children should have the
advantages of the schools.
Professor Staley told council of fire
drills held at the two- white schools
yesterday. It required one minute
and five seconds to empty the South
building and one minute and ten sec
onds to empty the North building.
Council moved to meet at 7:30 in
stead of 8 o'clock beginning with Oc
tober 1.

N GRECIAN
CAPITAL
MAY LOSE
MEN
NON I RETREAT
(By the Associated Press)
London, Sept. 22. Special dispatch
es to Petrograd agree that the Rus
sians have swept on swiftly from the
Vilna salient, the strategic value of
which was considered so great that the
Russian general staff considered it
worth risking a large number of men
to hold.
In their withdrawal the Russians
are said to have destroyed everything
of military value. Although the ar
my is safe, it is hardly likely that the
whole Russian army will escape with
out heavy losses in men and guns. The
encircling movements of the Germans
are still held up. On the Vilna-Lida-Slonim
flanks the German advance is
proceeding steadily, but Prince Leo
pold's progress is slower, while von
Mackensen has been stopped at the
Pripet marshes.
As was predicted the Zemsto peti
tioned Emperor Nicholas to recall the
duma and summdn a cabinet represen
tative of public sentiment.
The English public is discussing
with Greatest interest, the -raon-rA wa-
loan made yesterday, but there is very
nttie opposition to it.
The only development frjom tJie
point of view of the allies- aa an
offset to the continued rush of the
Germans in the east is the news re
ceived from Paris that French troops
have crossed the Aisne-Marne canal,
a claim which Berlin concedes. The
British front, which has been so
quiet for weeks, has been hammered
by the German artillery, but accord
ing to the British official report,
prompt retaliation by the British bal
anced the score.
J. THURSTON HENRY DEAD
Lenoir, Sept. 22. Special. Yester

prior to his failing health was a rail
road man and well known in railroad
circles and for some time was billing
clerk in the Carolina & North West
ern railway office at this place. He
later went to Florida and spent some
months as a member of the office
force for one of the big railroad com
panies of that state. He is survived
by a wife and two children.
