DR. J. L. COX KILLED. Jonesboro, March 14. The first homicide to occur in Lee county since its establishment took place three and a half miles east of Jonesboro yesterday morning, when Mr. M. A. Wood killed Dr. J. C. Cox, by striking him across the head with a piece of pipe. It seems that they fell out over a shop account. Dr Cox denied owing the account, and it is alleged that Mr. Wood then struck Dr. Cox while sitting on a log at Mr. Wood's mill. It is reported that there was only one eye w itness to the killing. Mr. Wood has made his escape, though the sheriff and a posse of men are in search of him. THE ROUNDS OF A MEDAL 0 s. In iHoj I'rof. S. L.

The city has exactly the same rights as to enforcement, of all laws in territory one mile outside as it has inside. WHITE SALE. Sun al t . In this case Kimball was suing his father-in-law, Mr. Surrat. for alienating his wife's affections and he asked for heavy damages. It developed that Kimball married Mr. Surratt's daughter, a handsome and very intelligent voting woman, who iound so, ,11 after marriage that Kinnhall was not what she had thought him to be. Several things were brought out on the stand that were not at all to his credit and amply justified the young woman in refusing to live with him. They lived in High Point and one fine day the young woman packed her trunk and told her husband that she was going to visit her father. She never re turned. Kimball blamed Mr. Sur ratt with it and started suit. Af ter hearing the evidence Judge Lyon allowed a motion to non suit. Kimball says that he will appeal. Another case of interest was that of K. II. Trollinger vs. Frank 11. Fleer, the millionaire chewing gum man. who owns a fine farm near Thomasvillc.

At the final meeting it was shown that during the period of twenty-live years of us active operations the bank had paid in semi-annual dividends .1 total sum equal to 2 1-2 times the original capital stock and had also paid S111 .40 on each share of Suxi.oo stock paid in by the original shareholders, a record seldom equalled by banks, in the final liquidating and closing of its affairs, and one which we do not believe has ever been better ed in the state before. The First National Hank for a long num ber of years was not only one of the strongest institutions in Guil ford county and particularly a leading factor in the upbuilding f High Point and the adjoining oniniiiuil v . but through the at tendant strength of a number of branch banks which were origin 1 ated and began business In aid f the I'irst National has coii- I 1 1 ibuted largelv to thL- uplnlding I "f tile state.

No town likes to be called a mission field, most especially a citv like one which stands for such wonderful material progress and such high moral and social conditions. And right here 1 wish to say that High Point is a splendid city, a delightful place in which to live, composed of as kind, congenial people as live anywhere. However, I am not here this time to boost High Point, but to tell of her needs. Her cbiefest need is greater loy alty to Christ. He is a poor cit izen, who is not loyal to his community, but he is a poorer citizen who is not loyal to Christ. In one Sunday school lesson re- 1 centlv the strong, fearless char acter of Klijah has ben present ed. High Point needs about twelve men with the courage of I biah. and then shc needs above 1 things about twelve churches hose members will stand by eir pastors in every good word 1 1 1 1 work.

I need only call your attention to the chinch buildings' and to the school buildings in our city and to their equipments, in com parison with our business build ings, our lactones, our homes, and our streets to show you that we are in danger of making bet ter provisions for the temporal welfare of the rising generation than we do for their intellectual, moral, and spiritual welfare W e are in a fair way to lay more stress on the making of dollars than vve do on the making of character, and that would prove the ruin of any city. I do not believe we need more churches, but we certainly need larger churches and more spirit ual churches. High Point is not prepared with her present church build ings to take care of her people spiritually. With her twelve churches she cannot S'.ll Ml, I,"., than s.,000 people.
