SECURES THOUSAND DOL
LARS BY READING THE
NEWSPAPERS
Shelby, Jan. 28.—Reading the
newspapers proves informing and
educational to some people, and
economical to others—those who
read the advertisements.
To Wilbert Davis, 21 year old
textile worker of Belmont, it
meant a $1,000 wedding present.
About one week ago a news story
carried in the papers of the state
stated that a check of $1,000 was
in Shelby awaiting the finding of
Davis, who had not been heard
of since 1916. His father was
killed in South Carolina in 1921
' and left a $1,000 insurance policy
for his son. Representative B. T.
Falls, Shelby attorney, searched
for young Davis for several years
hnd was assisted by police de
partments of various cities. He
could not be located.
Then the news story. Davis<
read it one afternoon, and his
mother, who also could not be
located, read it in Charlotte the
next morning. They came to
Shelby yesterday and arrange
ments were made to get the check.
If the news story had never
been published it is thought Davis
wrould never have received the
money. His father left his moth
er when he w-as young and for
years he had gone by his moth
ers surname, her parents having
reared him. After his father’s
death his mother married again
and became Mrs. Garris, of Char
lotte. Therefore police depart
ments could not find a man by the
name of Wilbert Davis, nor a
Mrs. Davis.
Davis proved to be much a
roamer. He had lived in Char
lotte in recent months, but was
married recently and had moved
to Belmont.
The check he receives when the
^ ^ ^^ivits^reach^e^su^nce^ o^
present. Attorney Falls says aB
Davis with an injured leg, was
about unable to buck life unas
sisted.
LET CONTRACTS FOR
CHILDREN'S HOME
Greensboro, Jan. 28.—The board
of directors of the North Carolina
Tuberculosis sanatorium, meeting
at Sanatorium yesterday, award
ed the contract for a children’s
home, an innovation at the sana
torium. Contract went to Jones
Brothers and company, of Wilson,
who bid low, $80445, for the gene
ral contract. Other bidders were
E. C. Duby, of Gastonia, and Har
ry C. Brown, Gastonia.
Heating and plumbing contract
went to J. L. Fowers, of Bennets
ville, S. C., for $8,763. That mak
es the building cost a total of $89,
208. Appropriation for the struc
ture was $100,000 which leaves a
good margin for equipment.
The building will comfortably
take care of fifty children, and
can be made to accommodate
sixty-eight. Heretofore children
have not been accepted at the
state sanatorium.
The directors, who were in first
meeting of the year, also accepted
the new nurses home, just com
pleted, which will accomodate
twenty-five to forty nurses.
The meeting was presided over
by Dr. T. W. M. Long, of Roanoke
Rapids, chairman of the board.
Mrs. Max T. Payne, only woman
member of the board, recently ap
pointed by Governor McLean, at
tended the meeting frow this city.

The master was holding a les
son on modern inventions. ‘‘Now,

one thing of importance which did
not exist fifty years ago?”
“Me,” was the surprising re^

DORMITORY AT BAPTIST
ORPHANAGE DESTROYED
i Thomasville, Jan. 28.-»-Watson
House, one of the main boy’s dor
| mitories at the Baptist orphanage,
I was destroyed by fire this after
| noon about 3 o’clock. It was first
: discovered to be afire in the roof
; but no definite conclusion has
been reached as to the origin, ex
cept that it possibly was from a
spark from the tall smoke pipe
going up through the building.
The dining and cooking depart
ment was saved and also all the
furniture of the lower floor, but
the beds upstairs, where all the
boys, 28 or 30 in number, slept,
were destroyed. The fire com
pany of the city arrived quickly
following the alarm, but were un
able to save any part of the build
ing except the kitchen and dining
rotm «>W
were destroyed. Arrangements
are being made for sleeping in
the central dining room, cots and
other furnishings being placed
this evening, all the dormitories
on the grounds being full.
The building was erected in
1885 by John Wilson, of Warring
ton, who furnished the means. It
was remodeled in 1906. The din
ing room and kitchen were added
about a year ago. The building
was of brick. It will be rebuilt
immediately. Manager Keeler giv
es the information that there was
only $2,500 insurance on the build
ing and furniture and that it will
take at least $7,000 to replace the
building as it was and furnishings
and all included might run it up
to $7,000.

‘ BIG THINGS EVERY MORNING.
Charlotte Observer.
Western North Carolina wakes up
every morning to something new in
the big proportions. The builders of
new things plan enlargements over**
night, as it were, before definitely ad
justing the plans to the architect’s
hand. There is the case of Groves,
the* Asheville developer. He had
planned an enterprise in construction
work on the Battery Park plaza which
would have Involved an expenditure
of $1,000,000, but he kept adding
something to the plans until a 14
story building was created at a cost
of $1,500,000. According to The
Asheville Times, Mr. Groves has fin
ally determined to construct a large
hotel in connection with the mammoth*
building, to be an integral part there
of in that the central tower which is
to rise 12 stories above the main two
story building will contain 188 rooms.
There will be in all 160 stores and of
fices, in addition to the hotel facilities^
for which there have already been
filed 186 applications which, it is to
be noted,, exceeds the number avail*
able by twenty-six. \
And that is just one out of hundred^
of examples of the way western Nortlf
Carolina is doing things, these days.!

* GREAT RUSH IN FLORIDA
—
When the railroad embargo de
Cended upon Florida, deliveries
f automobiles into that state were
■eriously surtailed. As far as
Wd cars were concerned, how
ever, the famine was short lived
for two Ford freighters were
preesed into service and shiploads
of cars rushed to the two princi
pal centers of population for dis
tribution.
The Oneida now operates a re
gular schedule between the New
Orleans Branch of the Ford Motor
[Company and Tampa, carrying
about 260 cars at a load and com
Ipeting a round trip every five
days. On the east coast, anoth
er shop, delivers cars from the
Jacksonville Branch to Miami at
about the same rate.
Cars are completely assembled
at the Branches before loading
and when the ships arrive at the
[Florida ports, the cars are hoist

on to the dock where they are
ready for delivery to dealers.

Let Capital Punishment Alone
Those who are opposed to the
1 death penalty for murder, rape,
etc., are making a desperate effort
. to gain headway in numbers, so
j as to present a strong case to the
; general assembly. However, it is
needless to say that these lunatics
will not make much headway in
getting this law abolished at the
next meeting of the legislative
body. Just how much force antis
\vill develop in the future is, of
course, a mere matter of conjec
ture. But it is needless to say
that they will have a hard time
of it convincing a large majority
of the people of North Carolina
that a brute shmhl n. t be forced
to lake a seat in tin? electric chair
when he has outraged an innocent
v.oman or child. And .'he abol
