Mrs. W. T. Bobbitt’s child had a
marvelons escape from serious injury
a few days past. The child 3 years of
age, was standing in the road between
the wheels of a wagon when the

some one screamed calling his
attention to the child, he haying run
over it, he backed his horses with a
view of relieving running over it again
his attention being directed to it he
drove forward running nver it the
the third time, as soon as the wagon
passed over the third time the chi’d
sprang up exclaiming it was not hurt,
and it was not to any great extent.

eURLINfON PICNIC
Masons Had a Great time
at Harden Park.
Last Thursday was by far the great
est day Burlington and surrounding
towns have seen this year. It was the
first aunual Masonic picnic, held at
Harden park. The banks, stores and
factories closed and everybody went
to the park to help the orphans. The
street cars from Burlington Graham
and Haw River were packed to their
utmost all day and at night, carrying
the crowd.
The morning was gi\en over to a
ball game between Burlington and
Guilford College, in which Burlington
won by a score of 6 to 5. Following
this several addresses were made, chief
of which was the address of welcome
by W. H. Carroll, introduction of
speakers by E. W. S. Dameron and
address of the day by E. S. Parker jr.
of Graham. Mr. Parker spoke most
entertaingly for an hour on the signs
of the times and progress.
Dinner was served by the Masons

Attorney To Attempt To Save
llie Allens From Electric Gliair
Declare Evidence Against
Them No Stronger Than
in Cases State Comprom
ised.
Not until after Floyd Allen and
Claud Allen haye been sentenced to die
will the defense begin its fight to save
the Allens from the death chair by
going to the Supreme Court of Ap
peals.
These two men will not be sentenced
till after the trial of Victor Allen, one
of the members of the gang, which is
scheduled for Wythe Circuit Court Sep
tember 4.
Belief at this time if that the last
of the quintette in custody will readily
agree to serve twelve years rather
than to face a trial at the hands of a
jury. It is known that a proposition
to plead guilty will be made, and there
is no reason to doubt that it will be ac
cepted by the defense.
Following his sentence, the two men
who have been found guilty of murder
in the first degree, will be called to
the bar and will hear the words which
in all likelihood, will send them into
eternity Unless the unforeseen hap
pens, the men will be sentenced at
the September term of the Circuit
Court for Wythe county, Judge Waller
R. Staples presiding.
That the defense will make a last
appeal for the men in thp Supreme
Courts of Appeals is already known.
The basis of that appeal will be largely
on the grounds of the insufficiency of
the evidence on which they were con-
_ victed. The contention will be set up
Friday on the Cedar Grove diamondaccepting a verdict of murder

From Labor Day at Spen
cer N. C.
Labor Day is to be celebrated on a
big scale in Spencer September 2nd.
Several weeks about fifty labor organ
izations, fraternal orders, commercial
and industrial organizations appointed
a central committee the arrange for
this event. The committee has lit-
terally covered to State with invita
tions to visit Spencer, September 2.
Among the attractions for the day
will be a big barbecue, base ball, bal
loon ascension, hurdle races, sack
races, foot races, reel races and otner
amusements, including a grand dis*
play of fireworks. A big parade two
miles long, reaching from Salisbury to
Spencer will be witnessed by seyeral
thousand people.
A distinct feature of the day in
Spencer will be a demonstration in
motor plowing. A new plow just in
vented by a Spencer man, motor driv
en, and cutting a furrow 5 feet wide
and and 20 inches deep, will be opera
ted for the benefit of the farmers.
Magnetizing The Mind
(New York Evening Post)
Backward pupils converted into star
students 'in six months by merely being
seated in rooms through whose walls
electric currents are conducted, sounds
like the incredible prospectus of a get-
rich-quick promoter. But we are
pointed to Stockholm, where, we are
assured, the children in the magnetized
room showed an increase in stature of
just twice that of those in the un
magnetized room, and similar repults
in weight and general physical dev^op-
ment, weile they averaged 92 per cent,
in their intellectual tasks as opposed to
75 per cent, for their competitors. The
very least that can be said for this
method of improvement is that it beats
the scentific managers hollow. If it
“makes good” in the tests that ate
promised for it in this city, we may
expect to see the bricklayer encased in
a suit of armor, lined with electrical
wiring, and running up his walls with a
speed that bends the neck of the
observers rapidly backward. Tame in
^pmparison with such a marvel seems
the portion of the xeport of the presi
dent of the Chicago'Board of Education
devoted to the Wacker prizes for beau
tifying school rooms, school grounds,
vacant lots, and home exteriors. This
Western official reioices in the thou
sands of children who are employing
their leisure hours in planting and
caring for trees, shrubbery, and flow
ers, and so on, but is compelled to
admit that a scheme for reconstruct
ing city plans on lines of symmetry is
a work, not of years, but of decades,
and possibly generations. When the
electrical suits are ready, it will be a
work, not of decades, nor even of
years, but of minutes.

Rail-
Concerted Strike of
road Men.
A concerted strike of approximately
150,000 railway conductors and train
men, including breakemen, flagmen,
yard conductors, and baggage masters
on the railroad to make further advance
in wages averaging something like 30
per cent of the present wages and
^xAich would add several million dollars
a year to the financial burdens of the
railroads is brewing on Southern Rail
road systems.
The order of railway conductors and
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
have been holding conferences on the
matter since spring and the demands
were formally presented in a com
munication to the general manager’s
committee of the railroads about four
weeks ago. A courteous reply declaring
that the demands were unreasonable
and that the roads could not consider
any advances at the present time wa*>
returned. Attention was call&d to the
fact that wage increases during the past
two years amounted to $4,000,000 a year.
Gen. William Booth.
At 84, blind and weakened by long
illness, Gen, William Booth gave up
the fight for life, but just before he
lapsed into unconsciousness he spoke
these words in talking with his loved
ones of God's promises:
“Thev are sure—they are sure—if
you will only believe!”
He was as great in death as in life.
The same faith which elevated him
from an humble 15-year-old street
preaceer to oue of 'the world’s great
est religious leaders characterized
every step of his life.
General Booth’s masterful strength,
his imoelling personality and mar
velous power of organization brought
the Salvation Army into existence ond
welded it ints a world-power.
No organization was carrying the
gospel to the dregs of civilization in a
thoroughly systematic manner. He
began ministering to the spiritual
needs of men in the lovt est strata of
society. With literalness he and his
associates accepted the example of the
lowly Nazarene and- carried on their
wo.k with the same humility.
The drum and the tambourine and the
horn were their pipe organ. ^The street
corner was their church. They sought
their listeners in beer halls and saloons
and extended the hand of fellowship to
every outcast. The ex-convict and
the drunkard were greeted with the
same spirit as their more fortunate
brothers.
In many practical ways General-
Booth and-his associates extended their
field of usesulness. They sought souls
by indirection. The hungry were fed
the lagged were clothed and provided
with work, and thought the homes es
tablished by the army every sort of
charity was dispensed to believers and
unbelievers alike.
General Booth’s Chrisianity was ap
plied Chriaianity of the best type. It
soon attracted wide attention and com
manded the assistance of the wealthy
and influential men and women of
England. By degrees it extended all
about the world, and today the Sal
vation Army is at work in fifty-four
countries.
The Salvations Army workers and
the social settlement workers have
found the personal servics on the part
of consecrated laborers is necessary
to uplift the downtrodden. The tene
ment dwellers do not want charity.
What they demand is sympathetic com
panionship and advice.
Through its suicide bureaus in great
cities the Salvation Army has saved
the lives of thousands of dis^’ouraged
and dishartened men and women. It
is not money that such persons want.
What they need is friendly advice* and
encouragement to take a stronger
hold on life.
4 General Booth leaves a great monu
ment behind him. His army stands as
one of the great achievements of the
last one hundred years. For sixty-nine
years General Booth labored for the
uplift of mankind and the universal
sorrow caused by his death shows how
thoroughly his efforts were approved
in all parts of the world,—Nashville
Tenn.
EXCURSION TO RICHMOND
VIrGINIA
For Post Offices of The
First and Second Class.
No mail will be opened at first and
second class offices hereafter. A law
passed by Coi^ress Saturday night—^a
law which is probably the most drastic
and stringent Sunday enactment that
ever received the signature of the
President of the United States.
It provides that from midnight of
Saturday until midnight of Sunday no
article of mail received at a first or
second-class post office shall be “work-
I ed” even to the extent of placing it in
a box, except it be of the special
delivery variety. In that case it will
be delivered as usual. The law is ef
fective at once, but notice was not
received until the mail Sunday had
been distributed into the general de
livery compartments and into the
rented boxes.
It is a law that is going to cause a
lot of kicking, and tliere will be a
number of people that will not believe
its passage was intended to make the
world any better.

Where Life is Cheap.
Insurance companies have threatened
to write no more risks in South Caro
lina if Gov. Cole Ij. Blease should be
re-elected.
The reason they threatened to with
draw from that State is because life is
rendered too cheap under the rule of
such a reckless and lawless Governor
as Governor Blease has proved him
self to be.
The Insurance Herald, which is
recognized authority on insurance in
the South, and which has offices in
Richmopd, Atlanta, New Orleans,
Dallas, and other cities, says:
Several life insurance companies are
reported to have decided to accept no
further risks in South Carolina if Cole
L, Blease is re-elected Governor. Life
insurance companies are business
enterprises, pure and simple, and they
are not moved by sentiment. They
take the position, it is said, that life
will not 1^ safe in any State with a
man in the executive chair who nullifies
the criminal courts and piactically
puts a premium on murder, not only
by freely pardoning convicted murderg
ers, but by actually promising in
