The prosecution attacked, this line of evi dence on cross examination. It eon tended that ' the railroad crossing where th rails are exposed necessar ily would hat tossed the weapon for ward from the crossing instead of directly? sideways parallel, with the track, where the gun waa round.

The main building or dormitory has been completely renovated and much new furniture i being installed. The boarding hall erected a few years ago has been completed and painted and is sow quit an attractive, and con venient building.. . '. : - - The faculty has been increased by the addition of a tutor in- th person of Mr. Z. B. Trexler, an honor grad uate oi th institute, class 1911. Mr. Trexler is a young man of sterling worth, has had teaching experience and will be a valuabl acquisition to the' teaching staff of the Institute. The commandant, Mr. B. T. Cripp. of Aiken, S. C, comes with high rec ommendations from Col Bond, super intendent of the Citadel, from which institution he graduated with the de gree of Bachelor of Science.

Preparations for the opening are being rapidly pushed to completion, and everything will be in readiness when thestudents come in on the 13th. Th attendance promises to b good Many new faces will be seen among the, cadets. Some of the towns will have .. much ' large .representations. Charlotte will furnish half . a dnsen students. The recent rains have been a great blessing, and doubtless many young men from ; the farms, encour aged thereby,' will answer the eall for better equipment, higher ' efficiency, and will be found among the student body in September. ' , - -,, The rains are coming just in time to relieve the water situation in Mt. Pleasant, which along ; with , other large towns, was getting serious. The reservoir, standpipe and mains are empty, that is to say, the public well has failed. Borne private wells have failed entirely, while other are get ting, weak." The Tuscarora cotton mill and th James knitting mill have both beau closed during the drouth which has saved a number of other 'wells from total failure. Until the past few days, all the rams have been taking a wide out curve by way oi Concord and China Grove, but . the weather man has at last regained his control and is now putting Mb "local showers" straight across the plate; The full complement of machinery of the Tuscarora cotton mill in in the hands of the Southern Spindle and Flier Company,' whoso expert machin ists are giving every bearing ' and screw an overhauling and readjust' ing.

The company sells a miiuon oi eacn brand a day. It was computed that 50-cent raise per 1,000 on the 6,- 000,000 would net $2,500 more profits to the company daily, or $912,500 a year.;.
