The entertainment afforded by the Chautauqua is the best to be had, and every organization in Lin colnton, and good citizens generally in this County are interested or should be in seeing that the Chautau qua is a success because of the fact that it affords the kind of entertain ment' that is uplifting and is needed in all communities.' The way to en courage the Chautauqua for Lincoln ton is to buy a season ticket and not allow the guarantors to lose money just because they are willing to take a risk for the good of the community. A little encouragement on the part of the citizens generally in town and County will make it possible to perpe tuate Chautauqua here . The people making it possible for the return of this high class enter tainment by signing the contract in the capacity of guarantors were the following: ' --'ii'''' 'iXiw-:,. E.' D. Johnson, M. A.

Greensboro, May 29. Max Spry, young white man, said to be from Salisbury, Kannapolis or . Concord, was shot to death as he . stood on Buchanan street, next to the Huffine hotel, at 6:30 o'clock this afternoon, by States Gambel, of Danville, Va. Spry was shot five times with an automatic pistor by his assailant, who stood only a few feet distant. The injured man lived only a few minutes, dying on his way to the hospital. ' ., ., . ' .: The slayer was arrrested imme diately following the shooting by Capt. D. H. Blair, station master, and taken to the police headquarters where he is being held. ' No reason for the shooting had been learned tonight, although one of the several men who saw . the shooting says that Spry accused Gamble of "turning him Up" for the theft of an automobile, or words to that effect. It ia said that , he had hardly more than said the words before Gamble pulled his gun and opened fire, practically riddling . the body of the other man before he ... hit the ground. The two had been quar reling in the Huffine barber shop, it was said. 7 ':. '7 """7". Spry was a comparatively young man, probably between 30 and 35 years of age. His Wife was with him at the hotel, both preparing to leave town early in the, evening.

', TERRIERS WIN WIERD GAME FROM CLOVER Williams in Poor Form Errors Fig ure Strongly Stamey Parks The Ball. Attendance Slim as Usual. In a game replete with errors and as fuN of different kinds of baseball as a soldier is full of cooties, Lincoln ton out slugged the crew from Clover and won fifteen to five although in winning they have little to be proud of. ; Williams again pitched for the lo cals and was far from his usual form, yielding eleven hits and giving six bases on balls. There were , times however, when he had a lot of stuff on thv ball as witness the fact that Edwards, who 'has often substituted as catcher, tried to fill in for Lawr ence Beal who ; was indisposed, and was forced to retire because he could not handle the elusive slants of Wil liams. Harvey,.' for Clover, was wild and ineffective, giving way to Walker, a young southpay in the 5th. Walker worked much better than his predes sor, allowing two runs : in the four innings of his regime. The locals made errors as freely as Bryan makes speeches. Chief offend er in this role was Stamey, who bob bled no less than three times, an un usual occuran.ee, for the big second sacker hardly ever trangresses. more than that in a whole season. He had some excuse for his finger had been injured several days before and 'he winced with pain every time he caught a ball, making it necessary for him to start, the game in center field. The Terriers had on their swatting clothes, making thirteen hits for a total of twenty four bases. Broome, Boggs and Beal led with three safties each and Stamey parked the ball in the third inning the drive landing in the shadow of the left field fence nd bounding over, a terrific hit and the lons-est in the history of Tilson Field. There were' no fielding features ex cept perhaps, a play by Maxwell, vis iting third baseman, of Tobey's grounder in the second frame. Con nor, the Terrier first baseman, was struck in the face by a thrown ball in the first inning and painfully though not seriously injured, making neces sary a shift in the line up. McGinnis, who caught for Stanley, went in for Edwards behind the plate in the sec ond inning. The locals play Cherry ville on the home grounds the coming Saturday and, Tuesday, the thirteenth they journey to Clover for another game with the sandlappera. , ' Box score and summary ! ; Lincolnton--. ab. r. h. po. a. e.

' SUPREME COURT REFUSES TO DELAY COLECTION OF TAXES FROM RAIL ROADS BY STATE Raleigh, May 29. Advices 't from Washington of the supreme court's refusal to grant a restraining order delaying the collection by the state from the railroads of around $750,000 of tax money in disputes was reached with elation by officials here.

Not having all of the data at hand at that time re lative to her long life, the writer was unable to give a detailed account of her life. I have been requested by some of her relatives, hs"'ng secured the facts, to write a fuller account of her life for publication in the News. Nancy Adline Weaver was born on Christmas day 1830; died May 15, 1922; aged 92 years, 4 months and 21 days. She marreid the late Phillip C. Weaver in 1849. To that union were born 10 children, four of whom are dead.; The living are: Columbus Weaver, who lives near Laboratory Cotton Mill, William Weaver of Gas tonia, Sidney Weaver, of Cherryville, Mrs. Mary Baker of Crouse, R. F. D. 1, Mrs. Emma Carpenter of Bessem er R. F. D. and Mrs. Nancy Heaf ner of near Crouse, with whom Mrs. Weaver was making her home at the time of her death. "'-He? family has complied with the Bible injunction 'ireplenish.the earth" ,.as is shown by her large posterity, there being forty four grand children and 59 great grand children. s Though Mrs. Weaver was bent in form, physical beauty gone, and could scarcely walk in her latter years, her children almost worshiped her. For a number of years they, other relativ es and friends gathered about her once a year with well filled baskets and spent the day in sweet fellowship together. Sometimes with the pass ing of the years and with a multi plicity of duties, children are alienat ed from the one who passed through the throes of death, almost, to give them birth. Not so with the child ren of Mrs. Weaver. She was en deared to them and they to her as few children and mothers are. They loved her in old age just as much and visited her as often as they did when they left her to establish homes of their own. All of them were present at her funeral to bathe her wrinkled face with their tears. There is a reason for such beautiful devotion of children to mother, She kept them tenderly tied to her apron string an art fast falling into disuse during the formative period of their lives and Imparted to them her reverence for the truth and the right. During the terrible days of the Civil War, and through the reconstruction period, in some instances the children Were ! widely separated from their mother Working here and there in order to keep the : wolf of hunger from mother s door. But Mrs. Wea- ver managed to keep in close touch with her children during those awful days of the sixties.- AJwayn hopeful, trustful and unafraid even in the face of danger. She Always said to her children "we will get along some way. God will take care of us." She died in the home of her son-in-law, Mr. Wesley Heafner, where she lived since her marriage in 1849, The house has been remodled from time to time, 'but two rooms of the house have never been changed since they were built. They look now very much : as they did in 1849. While Father Time has aed the old house where Mrs. Weaver Jived for almost four score years, and while nature has changed somewhat the lay of the land around the old house, a great big spring at the foot of the hill below the house remains unchanged, Its wa ters bubbled just as clear arid sparkl ing the day she drank her last drink from its supply before her death as they did when she drank her first drink as a young bride of only 19 summers. It wa fi(timj and appro priate that in the old home where she had lived practically all her life close by the eld spring, that she loved so much where she had quenched her thirst thousands of times, that the last tribute of respect be paid to her mortal body. The funeral service was, conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. E. B,' Houser and Rev.. Mr. Lippard of Crouse. Despite the fact that there was a down pour of rain, a very large crowd of people were present, expressive of their high esteem and love for her. She was burled In the family ceme tery pear her home, hard by the ialds in which she grew tired and weary as she worked with her own hands. The casket was placed on a carry all drawn by one of Mr. M. B. Adder holdt's fine horses and carried to its last earthly resting place. . Some of the relatives and friends walked thru the fields, there being no good road to the little family graveyard where her body was placed in the ground to await the resurrection. The leaflets of the corn, wet with the falling rain, seemed to droop in sorrow as if they knew that instead of Mother Weaver coming to hoe, she was being carried to the tomb. As the rain fell upon us as her mortal body was being covered with earth, we felt that that was God's way of mingling the tears of heaven with our tears. She is gone from earth, but not forgotten. She is not dead, but sleepeth. Her Pastor. Davidson, May 30. In a 10 hours session, with about 40 members pres ent, the Davidson college board of trustees, in annual session, with Dr. L. W. Lingle, D. D., of Union Theolo gical seminary, Richmond, Va., presiding, decided to launch immedia tely a campaign for $600,000 two thirds of which will go to the building of a new Chamber administration building, with $200,000 to be diverted to endowment.
