There is at the present time one of the eight wonders of the world in High Point, in the shape of the wonderful "mechan ical man," now on exhibition in the window of the J. A. Hart Drug Company, and will be there until Wednesday night ine figure in question is garbed in a neat iuxedo 6uit and made to represent a man. It placed in a seated position In the rear ot the window, then an elec tric cable is attached to a socket in the upper part of the window. vards to tne number of sixteen are placed on "his" or "its" knees. tne nands are put into position, and nor a move does "it" make until the electriciiy is turned on, then, while the left hand holds the cards in position, the right hand and arai goes up ova down with the regularity of clock wofV. "Its" eyes move and some say "he" breathes; others say it is the vibration of the machinery. Those who have seeu the re moval of the mechanical man1 irom the window have had their doubts further increase. After the "juice" is turned off the pro prietor and an assistance place nim or it in a standing posi tion, then after some rather com plicated manipulations, the elec tric connection is broken. Then the figure is carried stiff and unbending: to the rear of the store, where "it" is placed on "its" feet in a standing position, and a wnite cloth is t thrown over it Whether it remains there until its ntxt appearance is, of course. part of the mystery, as further details are carefully screened irom public view. If an automa- tin, the mechanism must be al most perfect; if a human beine uie nerve and control of muscles and expression is wonderful,' and tne ability to sit in the one posi tion from two to three hours at a time and only move the right arm 'ana neaa, and gaze unsmil- ir.giy and expressionless in the face of curious -'criticisms and humorus queries of the crowd is a stiuugn one. Mr. Blanke. the owner and operator of the "me chanical man" was questioned in regard to the mechanism. All he would say was that the "me chanical" man has been iq opera- uuu 111 vi uic large ciucs 01 tne United States and in some in Eurooe. and that he f Mr. Rlant- and his wife, were on their wav a r t . . to odu rrancisco ana were snow ing the "mechanical man", across the continent The "mechanical man'! will be on exhibition at the ranama Exposition 141915. - The Chero-Cola Comnanv of Greensboro, in the interest of whom the "mechanical man" is on display for are offering a re ward of $25.00 to any man, wo man -or child who succeeds in making the "mechanical man" laugh while in the window today and tomorrow from three to ninn o'clocki . : 1 1. - FREE NIGHT SCHOOL.

Special arirange mentsMiave been made Toy the railroads to accommodate tfiej crowds that will visit the -circus from this city and the surround ing country. . . M en President Lyon's Open Letter Ho Wins 00 a Very I mportan) Point ot contention. Owing to certain articles, which have recently appeared in some of the newspapers of the State, claiming that there was a provision in the constitution of the North Carolina League of igi requiring a player who was suspended by any cluo in the league to remain suspended tor a period of ten days, we wish tc say that such statements art without foundation and are a misrepresentation of the facts. There is not nor has there been any such provision in the constitution of the North Caro lina league for 1913 or 1914, or in the rules of the National As sociation, under which this league is operating. The accusation that some one has done away with this rule "t v a specific purpose" is abso'jtelj without f oundation since 110 such rule existed. F. Stikeleather, President. Asheviile B. B. Club. I.

I further cer tify that the originals toear the written signature of all the par ties whose signature appears upon the above statement and that each signed in the presence of a witness as indicated. Given under my hand and seal, this 15th day of September, 1914. H. C. Field, Notary Public. My commission expires July 12th, 1915. The reader will please no tice that the above statement is signed by the president of every club in the North Carolina League, except the Charlotte club, for his refusal to sign the statement, are contained in the following extracts from lm let ter of Sept. 11, 1914, viz.: "I could not say that this rule was ever printed in the constitu tion of the old Carolina Associa tion and as it does not appear in the constitution of 1913 and as you were not elected president of the North Carolina League until the close of the 1913 season, I do not see how you could be held responsible for this rule. At the same time I do not think that you should ask me to sign a statement that no such rule ever existed, so far as the North Carolina League is concerned, when the rule was enforced up to the close of the 1913 season. I coul not sign a sattement that this rule did not exist, as I fail 1o see how the rule could be en forced unless it existed and I know it was enforced up to the close of the 1913 season or to the time you were .elected president of the league." ; V This reply from Mr. Weam absolves the president of the league from all blame in the matter, but his admission is not broad enough to e justified by the facts. . In my letter to Mr. Wearn I asked him this question: adopte If neither the constitution. by this league or the minute's of the proceedings of the different meetings authorize such a rule, by what authority does such or did such a rule exist?" Although Mr. Wearn failed to I 4 iava eai j u nvi v guvu n a U'Vg ins answer still insists that the rule existed. The facts are that, as the rule was not authorized by the law making body of the reague. it did not in reality exist, as its actual existence is dependent upon its Right Now We have the larg est line of Forbush shoes we ever had.
