'I The elecfrocuflon of Lewis West, - the desperado who killed Deputy - Sheriff Mumford and wounded Chief of Police Glover, of Wilson, Isst Feb ruary, is set for next Friday, May 5. West is now in the death chamber of 1he 8tatf penitentiary. There will j- likely be no demand for executive clemency. West's meteoric career is a familiar chapter. After his fatal onslaught Upon Wilson officers, he es- - esped and was captured at Maxton by Chief of Police Dunlap and was tried at a special term of Wilson Su perior court. . On 4he following Friday, May 12, .the electrocution of Norman Lewis, a negro who killed Chief of Police Stal- lings, of Spring Hope, is to take place. Lewis appealed to the Supreme Court but that body found no. error in the - trial. . v The only other electrocution now set is that of a man named Murphy, of Taneev county, who. was recently convicted of killing another man for refusing to give him a drink of his Christmas liquor. . The date is June - ; 30. An appeal was noted to the Su- preme Court,' but the ease has not mt fatten docketed. If anraed it will come up the week of May 8. ... Concord's "TroUeyless" Car. Salisbury Post ' A Post representative spent a short while in Concord yesterday and" while f ' .there took the opportunity to take a . ride on ihe storage battery street ear. The line ia working splendidly and a regular schedule is maintained be ' tween forest Hill and the Southern passenger station. The ear is being . liberally patronized - and carries a goodly number 61 passengers on each .. , trip, often being taxed to its capacity. This new invention of the wizard Ed - ison appears to be all that is claimed ' " tat it. In BDDearance it is a beauty , ',' and the absence of the many poles and . erosa wires, trolley wire and trolley bar on top of the ear are very ao ' " tieeable and form one of the main de -' sirable features of this latest ia elee . - trie streejt ears. , ' ,": Tv---- "The car is manned by former ,m .

The lav. makes failure to list does for taxes a misdemeanor. - The tax is $1 on males and $2 on females. This law applies to Pitt, Moore, Hoke and Rowan counties. Senator A. H. Boyden also had a dog law passed for Rowan which is really more drastic than Mr. Pethel 's as it prohibits dogs- from running at large in the county from May 1 to September 1. By this law, .dogs may be impounded and the owners fined or imprisoned at the discretion of the court.- . . ' .The 8uidde Case la Stanly.

Ladies Protest Against Violations of Screen Ordinance ia Wilmington. We are requested by the sanitation eommittee of the Woman's Better ment Association of Concord to copy the following special in today's Charlotte Observer: Wilmington, May 1. Several weeks ago a rigid ordinance was passed by the board of aldermen requiring all markets and grocery stores to screen all food products, forbidding the plac ing of food products on the sidewalk in front of said markets or stores. Ssturday a protest was lodged by the lames of tbe North tferouaa Soroert to the effect that the screen ordinance was not being observed. This had the effect of making the police get busy and twenty-five market and grocery men have been arrested for violating the ordinance. The eases will be heard tomorrow. A few nights ago, in an address delivered in this city on municipal health, Dr. W. S. Rankin, secretary of the State Board of Health, advised the ladies to sign a pledge agreeing not to buy food prod' ucts from grocers and market men who fail to eomply with the screen or dinance.
