Tha Big Olympic.
Dr. Paul CaldwelL of New York,
end as several clippings concerning
the giant ocean steamer, tha Olympic,
bout which we have already printed
several notices. The big ship ar
rived in New York Wednesday.' Dr.
Caldwell writes about it :
"BV laying its length along the
Main street in Concord I believe it
would react from "Litaker' Cor
ner" to the Locke mills. Anyway, it
is the biggest thing afloat and it cost
50 cents today to get on board to see
it. Usually there is no cost to see the
thipa ariving here but I suppose they
need th money to run this thing."

At the Y. M. C. A. Sunday evening
the Bible Class met at the usual hoar,

together studying the outlines of
Scripture. We feel that we are edified
by attending these meetings and k
realy makes as better men. Mr. Owens
always looks after he comfort of the
elasa and has refreshments after the
lesson consisting of cake and lemon

in the class is appreciated.

new ball team was organized. This
is a team of boys from the Cannon

years old. This class will meet on

The Kannapolis T. M. C. A. Band

present. The new instruments were
also present and are simply great.
There are 23 pieces of the best kind
whioh would he a credit to any of
our larger city bands. Prof. Ludwig

porch of the Y. M. C. A. for their
practice, which is an ideal place. Some

were ordered at once. Mr. Cannon

suits. Arrangements have been made

Mr. Owens has secured the services
of an experienced Operator for the
moving picture machine. There will

Kannapolis to get the best that is

Our chief of Police, Mr. W. S,
Tal'birt, returned home from the hos
pital in Charlotte, last Friday, where
he bad undergone a successful opera
tion for appendicitis. Although he
came home earlier than is the custom
after an operation he still seems to be
getting along nicely.
Mr. and Mrs.'H. L. Mabry and their
two sons returned home last Sunday
evening from a visit of several days
to relatives in Concord.
We are sorry that Kannapolis is
going to so soon lose her marrying
parsn as Rev. W. T. Talblrt ren
dered his resignation as pastor of the
Baptist Church at this place some
tune ago, when his health bad failed
and. be thought that he was perman
ently unable to serve bis congregation
in tm capacity of pastor, but we are
glad to say that Mr. Talbirt baa re
gained his 'normal health and is in
first class condition physically but be
has decided to move to Concord next
week and will preach his farewell ser
mon Sunday morning. We only
voice the sentiment of the people of
Kannapolis when we say we are sorry
to see him leave.
Tbere waa a family reunion and
birthday dinner at the home of Mr.
W. F. Sherrill on Maple. Street Sat
urday, when the Children and other
friends met to celebrate Mr. Sherrill's
birth. We do not know whioh birth
day numerically but will say that we
know many who can remember more
anniversaries than he. Rev. and Mrs.
W. B. Shinn were present. Mr. Sber-
rill received many handsomi
uable presents among which was a
suit of clothes presented by bis ehil

A BOLD BUMLA1T.
Spencer Lady Attacked aad Seriooaly
. Injured. House Kansicred,
Special to Greensboro News.
Spencer, June 22. Mrs. C. A. Roa
sell, wife of well-known employe of
the Southern Railway at Spencer, waa
knocked into insensibility about ft
o'clock tonight end iho house robbed
by an unknown young white man.
The house waa entered by a window
which was broken.
A bedslat was used by the burglar,
who assaulted Mrs. Rouell when fae
awakened. Her screams were heard
by neighbors and she was found un
conscious on the floor. Every room
in the house had been ransacked by
the burglar, who accomplished a
greater part of Ms work before awak
ening the family.
(Mrs. Rozzell was sleeping with a
three-year-old daughter, her husband
being awry atte -di!g a lodge meeting.
Bureau drawers, bed clothing and
wearing apparel were scattered over
the premises by the burglar.
The burglar is described as being 6
feet tall, wore a black coft hat and in
his shirt sleeves. Officers are work
ing hard on the case and are watch
ing every road from Spencer. Great
crowds are on the streets 'her at mid
night and excitement runs high.
Mr. Rozzell states that lost Friday
night he chased a nan away from his
home who persisted in hanging about,
and whose description bears a likeness
to that given of the intruder to his
home tonight.
An accident of the burglary tonight
that is causing a great deal of com
ment is the fact that the first drawer
entered was the drawer in which it
was known Mr. Rozzell kept his mon
ey, and it is believed from a his that
the burglar is some man who is fam
iliar with 'the premises.
The latest news of Mrs. Rozzell 'b
condition is that she is not resting
well and her condition may be more
serious uhat at first thought. It is
not thought, however, that her inju
ries will prove fatal.
Prince Edward is 17.
London, June 23: Next to King
George it? is very probable that most
public attention has centered this
week in his eldest son and heir,
Prince Edward, who celebrates his
seventeenth birthday today. At the
present time Prince hdward is giving
much attention to the preparations for
his investiture winch is to take place
at Carnarvon Castle next month.
Whether' he shall go to Oxford next
fall or enter Sandhurst for a short
military course seems not to have
been determined as yet. In any
event it is regarded as likely that its
royal Highness will soon have a sepa
rate establishment of his own. Vari
ous places have been mentioned, al
ready, among them Progmore.
