" V man who sells a tablo oc a chair charges no more Mian the cost of the article plus a reat'onabh yijr centage of profit," he sail, "but no thing of the kind applies to the pub lishing, theatrical or cinema business. The truth is the whole thing is a Ramble, and producers who mako perhaps one success in 10 or 20 ven tures want to make that siKxeti y.v for nil failures." There was a very little falling off I of the crowd at the First Baptist rhurch. The main auditorium and the Uallerv wore filled and then an over flow in the Sunday school room. The audience was very attentive to the speaker who used as his subject, 'The Prodigal Son." His illustrations were very vivid and to the point and were also very effective. When the invitation was given for those who felt they had drifted away from the ts things that were spiritual a great number came forward and renewed their vows. There were three addi tions 1o the church last night, mak ing a total of twenty-one to date. Mr. Martin was perhaps heard at his best last night when he sang an arrangement of the story of the prod igal son.

The trouble is said to have been caused by a dispute over some fish which Little and Hefner claimed the Bryant men, who arrived at the place Sunday stole from them. Mean liquor is believed to have play ed a part. Sheriff Mauser did not receive word of the affair until 9 o'clock this morn- ng and at once set out in his ma chine for the place of the tragedy. Jim Bryant already had been arrest ed at his home in Lincoln county, just over the line from Maiden, and the other Bryant brother had dis appeared. Two or three other men with the Bryants could not be found or their names learned. Jim Bryant was placed in jail at Newton. It seems that Little and Hefner had a frsh trap in the river at the Arndt place and that the Lincoln county men, who arrived buniay to spend several days fishing, had been accused of pilfering the tish. Little received a cut across tne head, had one ear laid open and was otherwise slashed. His death was nl- Hefner was slashed across the back of his head and down the right arm, which was split near the wrist. He bled profusely. Carried to Dr. Long at Catawba, his wounds were dress ed last night, but Sheriff Mauser stated this afternoon that his condi tion was critical. He is at his home.

He was about 6b years old and is survived by his widow and several children. Obe Hefner is probably 45 years old and has a large family. TVii is knnwn as a motonshine sec tion and it is believed that when the farts are brought out, it win u shown that mean liquor was respon sible for the tragedy. Remus Bryant was arresteu nu brought to Newton about, 2 o'clock this afternoon and jailed. He was cap tured at the home of tus sister , in Uncoln county by Dan Misenheimer, of NeWtb'n, who picked him up. Rem us did not resist arrest. a By the Associated Press. Chicago, Jue 20.

Surround ed by rich traditicns of the old south in a city hollowed by a history into which are woven records of high, devotion, sacrifice and courage, the men who 60 years ago fought for ah ideal that is still alive officially epensd their 32nd annual reunion to-day. Tuned to a pitch of enthusiam and sentiment which perhaps is unparal leled in the chronicles of such reun ions in the southland, the united Con federate veterans in their initial ses sion fired the old and young alike by their loyalty to a cause which seems to stand like a beacon in the fading twilight of a day which is closing to them. Looking upon the scarred, gray faces of those old soldiers as they slept together in the massive city au ditorium, one could not help but- feel that somewhere through the . clc'ad . rifts in the heavens tenderly smiled the spirits of air those soldiers who have gone beyond; and as one old veteran raised a palsied hand to his brow to shut out a shaft of sunlight which from a crevice in the auditor ium seemed to strike his face like a gold band, one felt that in some way the ghost's of those beloved chieftans were invoked upon his comrades an abiding benediction. Called to order by Gen. William B. Freeman of the Virginia division, the opening session of the reunion got under way in the auditorium at an early hour. Despite a hard rain which swept the city during the night, the old soldiers were apparently bright and" fresh this morning. ' Following brief ceremonies, ; Gen. Julian S. Carr, venerable commander-in-chief, appeared on the stage. Upon the eager heads of the men in grey, Gov. Lee Trinkle of Vir ginia, whose father shouldered a musket from '61 to '65, the anointing of oil and southern patriotism ming led the hope that those who bled and died 60 years ago did not go 'into battle in vain. i General Carr saw in the assembly, he said, reincarnate an ideal v that still remains in the breasts of the old soldiers' and which will be jipass ed like a torch to future generations. With a few gestures, Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi kindled en thusiasm by declaring that never be fore was a war fought so noble as. that between the states or a cause so cherished, hurt it is true that th men who followed Lee and Jackson lift their heads proudly when the Stars and Stripes wave in th breeze All the speaker's were appladued. Dr. W. S. Rankin, secretary of the state board of health, will speak" in the auditorium tonight on "The Citizen's Responsibility for Health," a subject that is always of timely interest. It will be treated from 'the standpoint of the average man and woman and is exoected to show what their interest should be in keeping everybody well. ... . Dr. Rankin is not only an author ity on health matters in his own state, but has a reputation that is nation-wide. It is hoped that a large audience will hear him.
