THE DAVIE RECORD. C. FRANK STROUD - - Editor. TELEPHONES 51 AND 64. Entered at the Postoffice in Mocks- ville, N. C., as Second-class Man matter. March 3. 1903. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Year, in Advance . -50c Six Month, in Advance 25c WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1913 Some folks manage to make a lot of noise with a mighty small amount nf monpv. But it all comes out in the wash. Wfi fire triad The Record is not printed in a one-horse one man town where a "high mogul" has to be consulted before an article can be printed. Harry Thaw may not be crazy. but we think he acted like a fool whpn he was caDttired. Better to remain in an asylum all his life than to be electrocuted. Davie county's extra term of Suncirior court is in session this week. This was one thing that Davie county did not need. Our farmers are too busy to spend a week in town just at this time of the year. If the sales and trade day to be held in this citv next Monday is a success, the same will be kept up. It depends on the farmers of the countv as to whether it will be con tinued. The Record tries to be accurate in giving the news. Sometimes we are misinformed and print mistakes, but we are always glad to correct them when our attention is called to same. The editor does not claim to be infallible. Remember that next Monday is sales and trade day in Mocksville. Every farmer in Davie county is urged to come to town on that day. A large number of prizes is being of fered by the merchants and business men of the town. When the North Garolina legisla ture meets in special session next month, there are several matters of importance to be threshed out. It is to be hoped that some man with a little grit and backbone can get a dog law for Davie county before the legislature if they are going to de vote any time to such things. Good Wheat Crops. A. W.

DAD'S OLDEST GIRL. Indictment of Mr. R. B. Horn in Yadkin. On charges growing out of the closing of the doors of the East Bend Bank a few weeks ago, the Yadkin county grand jury yesterday returned two indictments one against Cashier J. Lee Norman, charging embezzlement, and the other against Mr. R B Horn, who is charged, it is said, with aiding and abetting the cashier in embezzlement of funds of the bank and in making false entries on the books of the bank. Bonds in the sum of $5,000 were order ed by the presiding judge and Cashier Norman furnished the required bond. Mr. Horn is understood to be in Lynchburg, Va , but is expected to arrive here at any time and will readily furnish the bond as soon ds the papers are served on him. A special to The Sentinel from Raleigh this afternoon states that the charges & gainst Mr. Horn are principally that Mr. Horn and Cashier Norman "kited" checks and resorted to various means of using the funds and credit of the bank for the furtherance of their personal interests. Among other things, it is alleged, there is a letter to Cashier Norman from Mr. Horn, which was found by the examiner, in which Mr. Horn enclosed a check signed in blank, with instructions to the cashier to fill it in for any sum needed to the ex tent of ten thousand dollars in the event he should have "a visitor," meaning, the authorities claim, in the event a bank examiner came along and the condition of the bank neededthat much to make its condition such as to satisfy the exam iner as to its sound condition. The bank being a state institution and therefore subject to the state laws, the case will probably be taken up in superior court of Yadkin county at the nex. term of court. J. M.

Thaw, the murderer of Stan ford White on Madison Square roof garden in New York seven years ago, is again in the lime-light, having made a sensational escape from the insane asylum at Mat taewan, near Poughkeepsie, N. Y., last Sunday moruing. He made his way to Canada, where he was captured Tuesday and is being held pending extradition back to the United States. Thaw stands charged with no criminal offense, being declared insane, which is not a crime, and it is now a question of law as to whether he can be taken back to New York, even though he is turned back to the United States.
