There are many other features too numerous to mention. The equestrian sensation of the day is the introducthm of a score of high school horses.

These horses go through their evolu tions, dances and various tricks with a promptness that would do credit to a child.

It is a wonderful world’s exposition. Years have been spent in the gathering of it and for tunes lavished on its execution. A man had moved into a new farm several miles distance from his near est neighbor. Things were still in a primitive state. One very hot day the neighbor paid his first visit. When they had exchanged greetings, he re marked : “As soon as you ve got j time you’ll have to shot* some oil into the hinges ofthat garden gate of yours. Took me all my time to make it move at all.” "Not if I know it,” said the fanner. "Everybody who comes through that, gate pumps four gallons of water into my cistern. Let 'em all come!” tH£ CONCORD DAiLY TRIBUNE REPORTED COLE WILL NOT ! CONSIDER INSANITY PLEA | Claimed That He Said He Would Go! Down With Head Ip If He Had to Go. Isaac S. London, in Itaieigh News ■ and Observer. Rockingham. Sept. G.—Rumor has .put in circulation countless reports, from nl.cgwi Ku Klux letter writing activities, to conjectures and sur mises as to the grounds on which the defense will make a stand in the now State-wide case of W. 11. Cole, jailed, and AY. W. Ormond, dead, wherein the former shot the latter as he sat in his car on the streets of Rockingham late of the afternoon of ! August 15th. On the one hand, it is said that i Mr. Go'.e made a remark in jail that I if tie went down, he would go with his head up, which might be inter preted to mean that no temporary emotional insanity plea would be considered by him. On the other hand, it is said that he stated to ■‘Cyclone” Mack on the occasion of a visit by the evangelist to the jail several days ago, that he “did it to protect his daughtcrtl and the daugh ters of other men.” Inasmuch as the State appears to have abundant proof and witnesses to show that Ormond was quietly I seated ini his car, on the right-hand side, and smoking, and that the pistol I that Ormond is said to have always carried in his car, was fastened in a buttoned flap in a holster, against the door on the left side of the road ster, street lawyers and would be jurors discard any theory of Mr. Cole being in danger and shooting in self-defense. True, letters are said to have been passed by each man, i threatening the other, and these wiil likely have an important bearing on the trial. May Plead Unwritten Law. Rut back of it all. iu thd general opinion of the public, will be a de fense perhaps based on the unwrit ten law, combined with written threats. As against such a plea the ; six taWyers for the State met in con ference in Rockingham oil Tuesday night, and gave out a statement that ‘’after having examined the ev/lence of eye witnesses urn! other evidence, and the manner in which Ormond was shot, we arc more than ever con fident. that there was no legal or moral excuse that could reduce the crime from that, of first degree mur der.” While as a directly opposite view is the. statement made by Aub rey 1,. Rrooks, of Greensboro, at torney for Mil Cole, that “we are the cockeyes; looking set of men you ever saw: we have examined thoroughly the evidence, both \ oral and documentary, and are absolutely satisfied' that when presented to 'll jury our client will be entirely ac quitted.” And so if one is to believe the State's lawyers, the prisoner will be convicted of first degree murder; while if the defendants’s lawyers are to be believed, he will come soott free. It is bard to conceive of a case wherein each side has such diametrically opposite opinions, and as between the two the general pub lic wallows in a sea of con fused doubt and uncertainty. Unquestion ably, immediately after the shooting on that Saturday afternoon in mid- August. the vast majority of public feeling here was one of indignation at the manner in which the young mu was shot down. Public Withholds Judgment. And it cannot be said that' the majority of sentiment here has changed, despite the wide connec tion of the Cede family nnd his busi ness. church and social standing. Rather do the bulk of the citizenship have a feeling of arrest of any judgment; they know the high character of Mr. Cole, of his keen intellect.and sound judgment, and of his uniform coolness of action. Such a type of mail causes one to feel that surely he must have had some remarkable reason for shooting Or mond. and that such reason was full and sufficient. And so they are in clined to await until the Cole side ean be aired. Rill Ormond had not an enemy in town, other thun probably Mr. Cole. Friends here point to the letter that Mr. (’ole wrote Secretary of State IV. N. Everett back in April, 11)23, un bearing out the Ormond conten tion that Mr. Cole’s one insurmount able objection to Ormond was be cause of his poverty and poor material prospects; and that after this letter was written, and in the months to oomo Mr. Cole realized that Ormond never would amount to anything financially, his regard for the young man waned, and gradually turned to dislike and that when a possible other suitor came forward, POOCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Let Your ;11 Next Battery j j Be An j j 1 EXIDE ! ■ Use Only the Best j /*i j- I m I i i«*ai i ' ‘V s . »Y CHARLES P.

The com- wanted to know if it were desirable to go ahead and merge the.m. They had to find out, all about traffic first, to decide. his 'dislike changed into a murderous hatred that finally foutid expression from three bullets that pierced tile flesh of one on whose pc. son, op wiJHiin regeji, was found not weapon, not even a pen-knife, these friends insist, that Ormond bore an irre proachable character 4 ,' was * strictly temperate, and' that thes-only thing) to be held against him was hi* nite parent inability to "get -OH in 1 rhe world." this because of his' deafness arid gassed condition. Friends.,of Or mhnd. insist that he had rot written a line to Cole since the famoils agree mfcnt was signed back in February. ' Derogatory Remarks Reported. :()ri the other hand, though the, defense lawyers will "make no stnte mbut, it is reported that Ormond had made remarks derogatory of the diameter of Miss Elizabeth Cole, 24-yea r-old daughter of IV. R. Cole] and with whom Ormond had been keeping company for several years, arid to whom it was generally thought lie was engaged. That he had taunted Mr. Cole with letters, and had threatened his life. That tlie trial which is scheduled to stint September 2X, at the special term ot court, will be long drawn out. and bitterly fought, goes- with out saying. Each side lias six lawyers. The solicitor will have ns perhaps hi-s erot-s-examiners the firm of Douglas and Douglas, of Raleigh, a pair of lawyers who for invective, ridicule anti hard-boiled ness art 1 with out an equal in the State. Against them- is mutyied the wiley Jim l*on. the brilliant .Jimmie Lockhart ami the eloquent Aubrey L. Rrooks. to -■ay nothing of the other able lawyers both for and against.

Presumably this is because visibility is low, but hasn't been low long enough for autoists and pedestrians to got used to it. \ Resides, it's an hour when most people, are bent on pleasure and therefore careless. Eleven to noon is the peak hour for autos to hit fixed objects—as their drivers are scooting home for lunch. Rut the rush hour is from 5 to 6V because more people go home to dinner than to lunch. That's Whep most autos collide. These are some of the things Covell as | certalned. DINNER STORIES The telephone girl in a New-York hotel answered a queer call over the . house exchange tile other morning ' about 11 o’clock. When she “plugged in, a man's voice said: "Hello. Is that the So-aud-So hotel?” "Why, no", answered the girl, i '"liis is the Such-and-such hotel.” “Oh. all right.” snid the man. "‘.l us j woke up and didn't' kuow where I I was.” i Walter was goihg to have a birth- l day party, and his mother insisted on ] his inviting, ntnoug others, a neigh- j bor's boy with whom he had quar- I re’.ed. He finally promised he would do so, but on the day of the party \ the neighbor's boy failed to turn up Walter's mother became suspicious. ‘Did you invite Charlie?” asked she. "Os course 1 did, mother.” "And did he say he would come?' "No explained Walter; "I Invited him to home, but I dared him to.” He—ls you han't taken so long to j get ready, we wouldn’t have lost the I train. , j She—Ye-, and if you liiiiftvt been j !in such a hurry we wouldn't have | hud to wait so long for the next one.
