Three bandits rushed into the crowd

building in Kansas City, Mo., on
Wednesday, shot and probably fatal
ly wounded Thomas F. A. Henry,
credit manager of the Drovers' Nat-

loot.
A house detevtice and three other
employes of the stock exchange build
h$ were accompanying Henry from
the postoffice sub-station on the main
floor of the building when they were
confronted by the bandits.
Henry clutched the money satchel
in his arms and pushed .his way
through a nearby door into a com
mission lira's office. One bandit
shouted "Get back there, or I'll kill
you."
Then Henry attempted to toss the
money back over a small partition

'he bandits fired point blank into
Henry's back. Henry crumpled to the
floor. The bag rolled to the floor and
the bandit caught it.
) The three robbers backed out of the
holding their pistols leveled at
to watchers. They leaped into a

money bag contained $100,000 in cash.

Georgia Paper Points to Fine Example Set
By Old North State in Education And Roads
North Carolina is
example to the other Southern States.
In the fiscal year just closed the Old
North State spent $42,000,000 on pub
lic education. In two years $25,000,
000 have been spent on roads, and in
the past two years about one hundred
million dollars have been spent for
education and good roads. In de
scribing what this great sum for edu
cation means, The Asheville Citizen
says:
"Forty-two million dollars on pub
lic education in a year! It means an
immensity of happiness, power, and
wealth for North Carolina. It means
that boys and girls who would have
gone into cotton mills and furniture
factories with minds untaught to
think will have their imaginative
powers so stimulated by schooling
that they will contribute labor-saving
and money-making invention to the

FRENCH TIGER BIDS
AMERICA GOODBYE
Replies To Telegram of Former
President Wilson And
Otto H. Kahn.
BARUCH SENDS TURTLES
NEW YORK, Dec. 13.His speak
ing mission ended, Georges Clemen
ceau, war-time Premier of France,
sailed for home on the steamship
Paris today, declaring he would re
turn again, "but only as a ghost."
The aged statesman, who closed his
strenuous tour with a short speech
before the American Committee For
Devastated France last night, appear
ed in fine health and rare good humor
as he took his place on the upper deck
to watch New York vanishing behind
him.
Just before the Paris cast off, the
Tiger kissed Mrs. Charles Dana Gib
son on both cheecks, laughly enjoined
her not to "dare tell her husband."
Mr. and Mrs. Gibson were CleWn
ceau's hosts during his stay here last
month.
Others at the pier to see him off
included Jules J. Jusserand, the
French consul here; Col. E. M. House,
who arranged the Tiger's American
tour, and Bernard M. Baruch.
Clemenceau, who spent last night
on the Paris, was up at four o'clock
this morning, and after breakfast took
a promenade of about three miles
around the decks of the steamer.
Clemenceau was cheered by crowds
both on the pier and on the ships as
the Paris slid, out from her pier with
her band playing the "Star Spangled
Banner.' Standing on the deck, he
waved his old gray hat in response.-
The Tigers farewell message to
America was given m the form of
two telegrams one to Woodrow Wil
son and one to Otto Kahn, banker, in
answer to farewell messages, which,
it was said, were typical of thousands'
received at, the last minute.
The messages exchanged between
former President Wilson and Clem
enceau follows:
"Georges Clemenceau:
"Allow me to bid you an, affec
tionate farewell and to congratulate
you on the admiration you have won
from cur people.' All good fortune
attend you.
"WOODROW WILSON."
Tiger's Reply.
Clemenceau replied:
"I cannot but be most grateful for
the kind message you were good
enough to send me. Your feelings
a're mine. All your efforts for the
:'best you did not spare in my country.
; Those are the principles of the
French people and may be summed
up in these words 'Justice and peace
to all.' These are France's principles
as well as those of America.
"My best wishes for your health
and welfare, and my kindest regards
to Mrs. Wilson.
"CLEMENCEAU."
Message to Kahn.
"In response to a long message of
congratulations from Mr. Kahn, the
Tiger wired:
"I cannot but thank you and ex
press all my gratitude for all you
'have done toward the great work of
! peace. That is the quest of France
'as well as of America. I know you
have done your best-dT or the cause,
'so allow me to congratulate you and
I your friends for all you will continue
to do."
Last night the Tiger delivered his
final address in America the brief
est of all his American speeches at
"a dinner arranged by the Committee
for Devastated France.
He prefaced his remarks by the
statement: "Why should I speak. I
am tired, I am old and I want very
much to go to bed."
He spoke only fifteen minutes, "re
peating his pica for American co
operation. "If you think you are not quite at
the end of your duty, it is for you to
decide," he ,said.
S. C. Terrapins.
Clemenceau found a surprise aboard
the Paris where he spent the night
twenty-five live terrapins the gift of
Bernard Baruch. He expressed a
fondness for turtles sometime ago
and Mr. Baruch sent to his South Car
olina estate for them.
Messrs. Thornton and Nicholson of
Macon were in town this week.
