No. 8 VOl XXXH County, N. C. Yadk^nvtiie, Yadkin BEERN JAW)!! ESCAPES EM THE STATE PRISON Glenn Jarvis, convicted !ast August with Molly Wugoncr.for killing their infant and throwing it in the Yadkin river, escaped from the State prison farm m Halifax county last week with eighteen others, after a tunnel had been dug from the camp floor during a rainy day. Nine of the prisoners have been re captured, but Jarvis is still at large During a vrsit to Raleigh iast week, a Ripple man visited the State prison and talked with Mollie Wagoner, convicted with Jarvis, and both sentenced to 25 years each. She looks weli and says she is well treated. She is in the sewing department. She still manitams that she rs tnno cent of any wrong doing in con nection with the baby's death except as forced by Jarvis, her lover, and father of the baby. Arthur George, Elkin banker, sentenced to five years, has held a position in the furniture de partment, but has been promot ed to the dispensary department Otto Wood, noted auto thief and murderer, is now confined in a celt, since he escaped some time ago. Prison officials said he was the meanest mia they Makes Assignment Mr. C. L. Gubard, who has been merchandising here for the past few years, made an assign ment Saturday. Dr. J. M. Pliib lips has been named assignee. His habihties are estimated at $2,000, with assets about $1,500. One preferred claim, mort gage, is against the property, after which Mr. Gabard is allow ed a homestead of $500. This, together with commissions and expenses, will make a total of nearly $1,000. It is estimated creditors will receive around 25 per cent of their claims.

Whisnant, 40 years old, book keeper at the Atherton Mill, in the southern edge of Charlotte, was held up by two white men at 8 o'clock this morning at the mill entrance and robbed of $809 the mil! payroll, after they had struck him in the head with a butt of a pistol and a black jack. The robbers jumped upon the running board of his car as he was slowing down at the null en trance. Whisnant put up a stout fight, but being of slight build, was no match for his as sailants. Joel Spencer, an employe of the mill and identified by Whis ! nant, has been arrested and is being held. The other man has not been apprehended.

PRODUCES pUGE COPPER CRYSTAL Experiments Reveal Some Unexpected Facts. Schenectady, N. Y.—Copper bars that can be bent double with one t« a greater understanding of the properties of metais. The bars, which are reatiy singie crystals of pure copper, were produced in the research iaboratory of the Oenerni Electric company at Schenectady, X. Y., and have been subjected to man; kinds of examinations, with the rev eiation of numerous unexpected facts. Knowiedge about the properties of metais has been iimited in the past to observations of masses of smalt crys tais. The usuai piece of metai is a congiomeration of small closely packed crystals, with the crystalline structure usually apparent at a giancp. Zinc, for instance, is known as a hrittie metai; a rod of it can tie bent but siightiy without snapping. Yet investigations of stnali, singie nine crystais show that any one crys tai of the metai can he drawn out to six times its length in one dirertion; in another direction it is extreme!;' hrittie. The properties of zinc thus depend upon how the crysla) is ex amined—whether "with the grain" or against it. The usual piece of xlnc is really a collection of stnali crystals pointing in all directions, so that the properties are the combined finalities of the smalt crystals in the different axial directions. The same holds true for other metals and other substances. Huge^rystatfrooucea. A single crystal of copper seven eighths of :m inch in diameter at)d six inches hmg. as well as nuttierous -unaller crystals of the sametnetti]. have been produced by Dr. Wheeler i'. Daves of the research laboratory, 'lite.'ociyslals. oleainodbyimalihca tioh of the toothed uivisedlty Dr !'. W. Hridgman of Harvard tttiiversity, are tmich larger than any previottsly teetirded. Very gradu:'.! heating tint! cooling of imreco]))ier in an electric furnace is the secret of the success in [iroduc ingtltottt. The necessary atnottnt'if lutrocoi'i'cr. inthcfortnofaiittr.tvtts i'lacotWin a closet) cylittdricai carbon crucible ttnd slowly passed through tiie electric furnace. lfmoitentnetal is cooiedpiickly tlte resultant mass iscoittiittsedof vtry stnaii crystals; if the tt.clt is cooled slowly the crys tals are larger. Doctor Davey cooled tiie melt so slowly that only one crys tai wtts produce)!, and that included the entire tueit. The atotns had plen ty of time in which to arrange them seives as they desired—to bttiid up a single cryslniratiter than a multitude of smal) ones. Several interesting results havc been obtained with the large crystal^. A piece of about the size of a lead pend). If given a jerking motion, bends as easiiy as does a stick of soft wax ; it cannot be bent back, however, any more easiiy than a simitar piece of ordinary copper. When the copper is a singie crystal aii of the atotns are arrattged in coiumns, equally spaced. When the bar is bent the spacing is changed; the atoms on the inside curve are pressed together, and those on the outside are spread apart. Strains are set np and the crystal structure is aitered. The bar becomes an ordinary piece of copper of smaiier crystals facing in aii directions.

The long struggle to rescue Fioyd Collins, entombed explor er. from his prison has ended at last in his rescue, but another force had beat them to their goal—death had entered ahead/ of the frenzied mmers and claim ed its own. For seventeen days Collins lay in the narrow, slimy passageway going into Sand Cave, which ha entered to explore on January M. As he was coming out a< large boulder fell and pinned both feet fast. He was discov ered twenty-four hours later and frantic efforts were begun' to* rescue him. first through the natural entrance to the cavern, and when cave ins stopped this, a shaft was started straight down to him, reaching a distance of 60 feet in twelve days. A tiny cave in on the sidewall at 2:45 p. m., Monday afternoon, revealed his body, still pinned fast by the huge rock and cold in death. His body was reclaimed and after apprc *iate funeral services will again be consigned to the cave to rest forever among the hills he loved so well. - Collins was 35 years ord ' and unmarried. He was to have been married four days a*te? be was trapped^^^ prison tomb. —-_ Judge Boyd Passes , His 80th Miiepost Judge James E.
