An Automobile Turned Turtle.
What threatened to be a seri
ous accident occured at the in
tersection of Watts street and
the North road last night when
the car which Mr. A. Kimery
was driving with his son, turned
turtle as the driver tried to get
by a wagon near the intersection.
Both Mr. Kimery and his son,
Otis, were injured, but the fath
er suffered the most. Several of
his ribs were broken, while the
thirteen-year-old son was badly
bruised and scratched about the
body.
,. According to the story that is
told by some of those who were
hear the place, Mr. Kimery,
driving a Ford, tried to pass a
wagon at the intersection of the
two roads. The wagon did not
give him any too much room as
as often times; the custom under
sjfchcircumsta
mg to get around the wagon the
front wheels were turned too
much throwing the car into the
slight ditch. This upset the
Ford, pinning the two occupants
under it Herald.
son county, I wish to say a word
about another of the county's edu
cational institutions the Person
County Fair. It may be that some
people do not think of the Fair as
an educational institution, and yet
it is, and a very important one,
too. The exhibits of fancy work,
fruits and vegetables, live stock
of every kind, grasses and all kinds
of farm products, cannot but
prove a great mental stimulus.
There will probably be no visitor
to the Fair who will not see some
thing on exhibition that surpasses
to eternity. Br x Wade had been!
confined to his home by reason of
age and affliction for a long timej
being 78 years old. So goes anj

and most highly respected citizens.!
The burial service was conducted
by his pastor, Rev. J. J. Boonej

Muddy Creek Murderers to Die
Winston-Salem, Aug. 9 The
trial of Mrs. Ida Ball Warren,
Samuel Preston Christy and
Clifton Stonestreet, a son-in-law
of Mrs. Warren, charged with
the murder last July of B. J.
Warren, the husband of the wo
Iman defendant, ended here
shortly before midnight Satur
day, when the jury returned the
verdict of guilty of first degree
murder against Mrs. Warren
and Christy, and guilty of acces
sory after the fact against Stone
street. Mrs- Warren and Chris
ty were both sentenced to death
in the electric chair while Stone-
street was given three years in
the state prison. Judge Cline in
sentensing the woman and the
man to death fixed September 24
as the date for the execution.
Change of Service.
The management of the Prin
cess Theatre recently made
change or service in pictures, "se
curing the Vitagraph service. The
pictures this theatre are showing
now is quite an improvement, and
the attendance is getting much
better each night.
There is no better place to spend
an hour in the evening than at the
Princess. No matter how hot it
may be out side, it is always cool
inside, being completely equipped
with large electric fans, and the
pictures are unusually good nowaday.

Of course, in emphasizing the
educational feature of the Fair,
I am not unmindful of its social
opportunities as well. Man is a
social being, as well as intellectual
and spiritual; and it is his privil
ege and duty to cultivate this so
cial instinct no less than the in
tellectual and spiritual. For most
of us, perhaps, the County Fair,
