alarmed, so she st in. one of her olul

mile away, and asked for some of her
people to come to her aid. Her fath

returning with the child when W'ise
met him and with the axe proceeded
to kill him instantly.
Mrs,. Wise and the other children
in the meantime run over to a neigh- j
bor's for help. When they returned
they found Ilallman's headless body
in the yard and the door to the house
barred. As the demented man was
armed they were afraid to enter

It is supposed Mr. Wise undressed
himself and used the furniture and

nuns of his home.

r'rotn a small school established in
Albemarle twelve years ago, the total
capital invested at that time being
out -ana this invested in a
small frame structure , to a model
institute of learning, occupying five
acres of ground and commodious
buildings, the whole now valued at
I2 ),(XIU; from 12 pupils in 18;i7 to
"5 now; from the average curricu
lum of a country school then, to a
complete college course now.
Such, in brief, is the history of the
Albemarle Normal and Industrial
College, situated on I learne Height,
its tower overlooking the entire city
it AiDemarte, and irom which can
be seen a large portion of Stanly
county with its stately hill.
Xhe story of the gradual develop
ment of this institution is not only
interesting it is remarkable; and
doubly remarkable in that it waa
founded and developed to its present
magnitude by two women, who have
reared a monument which will serve
as a memorial for years to come.
And the two women who have done
so much for the girls of this State
are Hiss Frances E. I'fford and Mits
Helen J. Northrup. Let their names
be written in capitals.
The work of the college is under
the supervision of the Mecklenburg
Presbytery, composed of 51 churches
f 1 A- M LI 1
in liiiou, ausod, necaienDurg anu
Stanly counties, and the institution
is controlled by a board of trustees
of which J. M. Morrow is chairman.
Rev. Geo. II. Atkinson, pastor of the
Albemarle Presbyterian church, is
president ot the college. It has a
faculty of six instructors, with a lady
in charge of the domestic depart
ment and an assistant, for the girls
are also tangnt dress making, cook
ing, millinery work and in other
ways equipped to take up the respon
sibilities of womanhood. A music
department is also maintained, being
