'inir up. In the clothing, Je and some other lines there have been extensive shut-downs. The high wages paid in those industries have been only temporary, and can't last.

BOONE WAS A BUSY PLACE PAST WEEK ManjrThiflgi to Make It Lively A Batch of Training School Items (By J. M. Downum) Boone, Sept. 8. The school has secured the services of Prof. Miller of New York state, to take charge of the agricultural and other kindred subjects, looking after work on the campus and such work. His work is very important to all concerned, and we feel that it will mean much for the good of the school and commu nity. Miss Velma Rivers, daughter of Editor Rivers of the Democrat, comes to the Training School as art teacher for this year. She is well prepared for her work, being a graduate of Davenport College and a student in one of the best art schools in our capital city of Washington for some time, and almost a natural artist. She has done some fine work, as will be testified by seeing the same at her home. . Mr. Jennings Moretz, a former student of the Training School, was at the school the past week. He is preparing to go to Lenoir College, Hickory, to complete his course look ing to the ministry. We wish him much success. Supt. Hagaman was at he school several days the past week looking after the school children who were being treated at the clinic. We were glad to see Bynum Wil son, a former graduate, at the school during last week. He will soon re turn to Wake Forest College to com plete his senior year. Rev. John Morgan, a graduate of the school, is spending a few days at tne nan wun me Doys. no win soon go to college to continue his chosen course. I Mrs. Matt R. Bernhardt of Lenoir, formerly Miss Penn of Boone, and aj former student of the school, was at j chapel service one day the past veek I and, with Rev. Mr. Cornish, sang aj beautiful duet. Mrs. Bernhardt has j a beautiful voice and it is remarka- j bly well cultivated, and her singing delighted the entire audience. Boone has been rather a busy' scene during the past week on sev-1 eral lines of activity, all looking to the upbuilding of the town, county and contiguous sections, the first of these being the visit of Dr. W. T. Shipp of Newton, who was here in the interest of the electric line from Mount Holly, in which enterprise our people are much interested, as it means much for the upbuilding of the town and county in a material way;. The second was the clinic for the treatment of school children, held at the school in Lovill home building, j More than 100 cases were treated and many had to be turned away for lack of time. The State is thus doing much for the physical life of the people. Another is the Training School it self moving on well in the term, add ing students almost daily.. This for the mental equipment of the young people of this section and the State. And last and most important of all, the revival meeting that has . been conducted by th enoted singer evahgelistTRevrHr K. Cornish,- f or- -the training of the higher spiritual life. Mr. Cornish is a really great preacher, of the Word of Life and a remarkably gifted singer, and the meeting has accomplished great good in reviving the church and saving the unconverted as well. He is holding a meeting this week at Henson's chapel, in the western part of . the county. Work on the new Methodist church building has been postponed until spring owing to the fact that it could not be enclosed before cold weather, and it was thought wise to stop with the foundation and first story, which are of cement DEMPSEY KNOCKS OUT MISKE IN THIRD ROUND Jack Dempsey, heavyweight cham pion of the world, demonstrated Mon day that he still retains the terrific punch that won him the title. He knocked out Billy Miske of St. Paul, a fighter as big and game as him self, in the third round of their ten round match at Benton Harbor, Mich. Miske went down three times in the less than two and one-half rounds of fighting. In the second he measured his length on the floor for the count of five. In the fatal third, driven to his corner under a rain of lefts and rights to the stomach and chin, the challenger took the count of nine, and had just regained his feet when Dempsey, carefully measuring the distance, finished the bout with a left to the stomach. The fight was watched by one of the most orderly crowds on record at a championship. Women in bright were scattered in the audience from the ringside to the back fence. Jack Dempsey received $55,000 for battering Miske, who fought on a straight guarantee of $25,000. The total attendance of the Labor Day battle was 11,348, and the total re ceipts $134,904, including state and war tax.
