Comedy 'In real life' Is something unusual, especially so when staged and played on the public streets.- Some hays ago, a Mr. Geo. H.

The community to suffer most at the hands of . this dispenser of bogus paper, it Is said, was Core Creek and the paper was.exchanged for money or debt, with Mr. Aman, Mr. Avery and Mr;, Weatherjngton and were given on a bank in. New York, so the story goes. Three parties after learning that the paper was no good, trailed their man to New Bern and promptly secured a warrant and the man was put under arrest by the constable. r . - It seems- that Mr. Dalrymple did not care to be in this condition, so he proposes to the constable to allow him. to 'go to the post office, a block away, while the officer hold his ground This privilege was accorded the man who Was under arresCand he went on to the post office, acocrdlng to agree ment He was seen to enter the post office," and this Is where he was lost sight 'of.

T0LER SHOT Operation in Progress This After noon Guard at tt Cesrcfct Camp Shots Inimtte-SCak-Ead in Death of the Wounded. . Thomas J. Toler, an inmate of the convict camp of the Eighth Township Is lying in a critical condition at the Stewart's Sanitarium, as a result of a gunshot wound, received at the hands of one Abner Paris, a guard at the camp. Particulars of the. circumstances leading up to the shooting are rather hard to get, but from the best infor mation obtainable today, it seems that Mr. Toler had become unruly, and was attempting to make his es cape. This action on the part of Mr. Toler. is attributed to a little too much stimulating beverage, how and when he got it, is not known. : It seems that Mr. Toler's family called at the camp yesterday to pay him a visit and that he had permts. sion to meet them and spent a short while in their company and walk with them to Clarks, a station on the railroad, and ; when the. train, came up Toler put his family on the car and then got on himself without the knowledge of the conductor, but as soon as the conductor found that To Ier was on the car he stopped the train and put him off. - ' This was where the first sign of unrulyness came to light, bo the story goes. The conductor had to get help to get him off the-train so it is said. It seems that there was an ar gument and' threat? passed between Tol'r and th guard all the way back to the camp and the thought of be Ing punished by Imprisonment in the sweat box seen to keep Toler's ire up and caused him to say positively that he would not knuckle to such punishment; Whether, he 'had been threatened 'with thia 'punishment or not Is not stated and seems to have been imagination on the. part of To ler.

There is a well authenticated rumor afloat to the effect that the Virginia Beach Development Company have sold their holdings here to a syndicate that was lately formed in New York. It is fur ther alleged that the new company will spend a good deal of money in the development of the finest beach on the Atlantic Coast . : A great many improvements are con. templated, principally among them will be an up to date hotel to take the place of the burned Princess Anne. It is also said that the new company will build another trolley line to Nor folk by a more direct route that will make the run between the beach and Norfolk In thirty mintues.

Oklahoma Takes Its Place Ia tkc ; Y - '-Constellation. By Wire to The Sun. v Washington, July. 6. When Super. Intcndent Elliott Woods unfurled the big American flag over the eapitol to- day it bore for the first time official ly 46 stars. The additional star, rep resenting the new State of Oklahoma, appeared today on every flag floating ; over a government- building here or elsewhere. The law provides that the; star of a state shall become a part ot the flag on July 4, following the admission of the Btate into the union. During the last session of congress Representative Bird S. McGuIre, of Oklahoma, caused a flag to be manu. factured containing 46 stars. This he had raised over the eapitol, where it remained for one. legislative day. Then Mr. McGuIre carried the flag to Oklahoma, where he displayed it at the convention which renominated him for congress. Though this was the first flag of 46 stars to float over the capital it has n legal status. How. ever, a spirited controversy arose over the possession of the emblem, ' and it was finally turned over by Mr. McGuire to the state historical so ciety. It is customary to present to the new state the first flag on which it is represented offically, providing a re quest is made for it. Superintendent Woods said tonight that Oklahoma has not asked for the uag which was raised today. The largest correctly ' proportioned flag in the United States was unfurL ed this morning at sunrise in the glass roofed inner court of the post office department building here. It was taken down yesterday for the purpose of having added to it the new star of Oklahoma The flag Is approximately 60 by 30 feet in size. " UNANIMOUS FOR JOHNSON. Georgia District Convention Calls Up- . All. KinrAH 4a Tar CIaa&mJ M1u. .' eraaiey was ronnaiiy nominated for re-election to congress today by the ' Eleventh district democratic conven tion. A feature of the convention was the introduction and adoption, unani mously of a resolution calling upon W. J. Bryan to retire from his candi dacy for the first place on the national ticket, yielding to John A. Johnson, of Minnesota. Second place was spok en for Mr. Bryan. When the vote on the resolution was taken the convention rose as one man In Its advocacy. The resolution ex presses the conviction that "Johnson and Bryan" would sweep the country. It says, in part: "We also feel assured that If Mr. Bryan will rise to that supreme height of statesmanship which the hour de mands and give his" consent for the above ticket to be'named'by the na tional convention It will mark him as not only the grahdest' statesman of the age, but it will cause his name to go down in history as he f the world's greatest patriots ' ' and public , ser vants." .
