TUB CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE WOMAN UNABLE TO PROVE IR’SBAND LEGALLY DEAD • Attemps so -Collect Insurance biter | * I-a ps* of Several, Year*, But ■ Her Cage Fails. Greenwood, S. C., Dec. 3,—Jlrs. Lucinda Finley failed to prove in civil court 'acre today that her hus band, Whitfield Finley, wus legally dead, and as a result lost her spit against the Metropolitan Life Insur ance Company for $330, the amount of a pqiicy t,aken out by her husband in 1012, and the premiums on which she had paid herself since 1018. Claiming that her husband's ab sence for a period of seven years, dur ing which time she was unable to lo cate him. or hear from him. estab lished his legal death. Jlrs. Finley asked that tho insurance be paid just as if her husband were physically di«d. Testimony for the plaintiff tended to show that Finley : s disap pearance from home had been duly luade known and that his pictures for the purtiose of identification had been sent to the insurance company in the event iiis body was ever found. Two witnesses, also testified that they saw Finley in June. 1018, at Muscle Sholas, Ala., n day or two before a number of men lost their lives in a barracks fire. It was claimed that Finley might have been in this fire. Airs. Finley herself said she had no word from her husband, and. so far as she knew,, he was utterly and ab -1 solutely absent. A witness for the defense, however, in the person of J. H. Finley, of Cce lambi a. a first cousin of the alleged , deceased, testified that lie had seen , Finley in Columbia no longer .ago - than last July and that Finley had , told him lie was on his way to Cuba. •This testimony convinced the jury that Finley is alive at least legally r and a verdict was rendered in favor of tlie defendant company. : HIGH POINT MAY WIDEN HER MAIN THOROUGHFARE Deed Calls For 100 Feet, But tlie Street Is Not Over »0 Between the Property Lines. High Point, Dec. 3.—High Point’s beautiful Main street, whicli causes more favorable comment among out of-town people and whicli is the pride es the city, may be made the most attractive thoroughfare in the utate. The street was at one time the old Plank road, which van from Salem to Fayetteville, and after that cor poration ceased to exist the city took it over. High Point was built around tois street. Older residents of the town like to relate the history of the old Plunk road, for it was the most remarkable piece of read con struction in its day. City council would make this old Plank road 100 feet wide all tlie way tlirough the city. It is understood that the deed made to—the city by the old Plunk road corporation calls for a 100-foot thoroughfare, but at pres ent the street has a width of not over IK) feet. Tin- city's new planner. Campbell -Scott, of New York, will be asked .fn make recommendations, and it is not improbable that 100 feet will bje es tablished between property lines all along Main street, Which cuts the city in two.

This season according to advis ers of Hart, Schaffner & Marx, the correct lounge suit (or college men is of the single breasted three but ton type with rounded lapels, an easy line at the waist and a six button waistcoat. ( Moderately wide trousers pleated at the hips taper to the shoes where they break without cuffs. Another style point of the season is the fact that college men are displaying greater Interest in clothes of a more formal type and as evidence of this is cited the growing popularity of velvet col lared Chesterfields for general wear as well as for more ceremonious occasions. Considerably interest attaches to the collegiate type of dinner jacket which duplicates in line and de tails the model introduced last spring at one of the most exclus ive clubs of a leading university.
