It is estimated '6,000 pupils havebeen in her c'asse. years ago. The defense was theo retical entirely and the maneuvers were carried on by troops represent ing Pickett's men. The campaign hats of the tanned marines were created down the middle instead of piqued, to resemble the battered headgear of the Confed erate soldiers. None of the men wore leggins and many of them were di-ess-ed in fatigue uniforms, others ap pearing in the sham battle without their olive drab suits. After a fifteen minute cannonade by the tenth ai-tillery. the marines in mass formation as Pickett's advanced, moved slowly forward. Adding to the realism of the spectacle men fell in their tracks as they advanced, while their comrades moved on to ward what was once the union line. On reaching the "high waiter mark" the troops retreated and the maneuv ers were over. Atnong -ko. who -nj'lV0 - the spectacle with th President were General Perhing; General Lejune, commandant of the marine corps; General Smedley D. Butler, in com mand of the camp; Assistant Secre tary of the Navy Roosevelt; Speaker Gillett; Senator Pepper, of Pennsyl vania, and Governors Sproul, of Penn sylvania, and Trinkle, of Virginia.

He tallied soon afterward on a fielder's choice. Other runs came in two later innings. Ellington caught a good game. Lefty Spain .twirled for three innings and Loyd finished the game. The visitors made their runs in one inning. The first basewoman played a good game but the women were slow on the paths. . Warrenton was credited with 12 hits and the women with 5. The game was played without squabbling and the crowd was pleased with the contest. The Warrenton team play ed good ball, with Manager Clark at first base. Capture Two Negroes; One At Point of Gun, In Search For Booze Outfits n Shocco. IN COURT HERE MONDAY "Drop that gun!" Chief Green told Mark Richardson, 35 years old, on July 4 at the colored man's home in Shocco Township. The negro slowly obeyed and was put under $200 bond to appear here before Recorder T. O. Rodwell on Monday. Chief T. H. Rob ertson stood guard over him as Mr. Green searched for Cephas Thomas in the woods nearby. He arrested Thomas without any trouble and he is under bond to appear on Monday. The two town officers left here early Independence Day and spotted a still between Shady Grove and Lickskillet about 9 o'clock. The plant had been in recent operation and 150 gallons of mash was poured out. The paths led to the Richardson hjme and the offi cers found Thomas and Richardson there. Richardson was about drunk. He denied knowledge of the still but stepped into the house. Green was waiting for him when he came out on the opposite side. Richard son had a shotgun, loaded with num ber 2's, and started :o run. He hesi tated and turned toward Green with the gun. "1" kill you if you don't drop it," Chief aruged down the bar rel of his pistol. The shot gun came down. Thomas had taken to the woods in the melee, but he was overtaken and arrested. The officers, after bonds had been arranged for these two negroes, raid ed another plant within a mile of the first. No one was seen. Both stills were made of sceel bar rels with copper attachments. Mrs. V. L. Pendieton Presented To State Convention At The First Service.

Mr. Hudson, founder of the move ment, said in Hendersonville, "I shall remember you nd your wonderful face so long as I live." Br. Morrison of Kentucky in saying fa revell added 'you have been an inspiration to me." Among resolutions passed by the con vention thanks were returned that the oldest member of Philathea had been spared as a living exampe of right eousness to both old and young.
