people called out:
"Sammies." "Teddies."
The name Teddy became suddenly pop

Children from all the schools in the quar

"Teddy, Teddy, Teddy," and throwing
flower. The American soldiers, affected
by the enthusiasm, smiled and waved
their hands.

NB FOR
ANJSSAULT
A. C Lamonds, Charged With
Assaulting Gir) Appeals Case
and Bond is Fixed at $500
Occurred June 26.
Affair Occurred in the Office of
Local Dentist Lamonds Did
Not Go on Stand and Intro
duced No Evidence. ,
A. (i. Lamonds. a barber of this city,
was this morning sentenced to serve s
ter mof three months on the roads of the
County for committing a simple assault
on Miss Susie Stone, an lS-year-old girl.
Lamonds immediately filed notice of ap
peal and bond in the sum of $300 was
named by the judge of municipal court,
J. Allen Austin.
The offense with which 1-amonds was
charged was allegedly committed on the
evening of Tuesday, June 2(1, about 7:1.1
o'clock in the office of a dentist where
Miss Stone was awaiting the arrival of
the dentist for some work. The prose
cuting witness stated this morning that
she had gone to the office, as she had
previously, immediately after completing
her duties for the day at the bakery
where the is employed. While awaiting
the return of the dentist from his even
ing meal, the telephone rang and when
the bell sounded the third time, she an
swered. Some man was inquiring wheth
er the dentist was in and Miss Stone
stated that she told the inquirer that he
was not but that he, the dentist, was ex
pected to return at any moment.
A very few minutes after the tele
phone was answered Lamonds walked
into the office and began to talk. A gen
eral conversation between the two fol
lowed for a few minutes when Iamonds
asked the girl to go riding, saying "How
about taking a joy ride? 1 have a 'jit
ney' that ia not doing anything."
btone testified that she declined, wherc
upon the question was asked would she'
care to eat. Again, according to the tes
timony, the answer was in the negative.
Lamonds then asked to be shown a
ring and this she did. After seeing the
ring, according to the testimony, the
defendant walked around the chair in
which Miss Stone was seated and gTasp
el her wrists. The prosecuting witness
this morning testified that she bent over
to squirm free from the grasp of the
man when she felt his face against the
back of her neck. She succeeded in free
ing herself and vehemently suggested to
the barber that he retire, "lie went,"
stated the girl.
On cro examination Miss Stone ad
mitted that she had twice received candy
from the defendant, it iM-ing delivered in
each instance in a small "poke" or sack.
She saw no harm in this, she testified.
She also detiied ever having been where
she should not have been in company
with a young fellow who has since joined
the navv. The cross examination was a
thorough one but not once did the wit
ness, a comely girl, waver.
The dentist in whose office the alleged
assault was committed testified that he
returned and noticed the girl flushed and
after she took her seat in the operating
chair she showed him her wrists and then
told practically the same story of the af
fair as that related from the witness
chair. The dentist also stated that
Lamonds had spoken to him about the
affair since it happened, that the defend
ant had expressed regret that it happened
but added that he thought the circum
stances were such as to lead him on. He
mentioned the candy when this state
'ment was made, so the dentist swore.
The defense introduced no witnesses
and the arguments of counsel were not
prolonged.

PAPERS LAUD THE
FOIBTHF JULY
London Papers Pleased Over the
Friendly Relations With the
American Nation.
London, July 5 The promineuce given'
Independence day by the Loudon papers
suggests a recurrence of a British rather
than an American anniversary. Besides
fully reporting the celebrations, ban
quet speeches and other things, the prin
cipal papers devote fine editorials there
to. The Morning Post, which often in the
paBt has been critical, rejoiced that "the
anniversary of estrangement lias become
a festival of reunion," and declares:
"Not the leas of manifold bene tits the
Germans unwittingly conferred on Eng
land is the lifting of Anglo-American re-
lations to a plane of more intimate and
Missicordial friendship than a century of time
- flias been abla to achieve."
The Times, afjter gratified general
comment, says there are some Britons
who still do not see American belliger
ency for what it is, "one of the mira
cles of the war and its crowning mercy."
It contends that American intervention
swept away bickerings such as over the
blacklists, which at one time threatened
Anglo-American estrangement.
ARE CONFIDENT COTTON

Washington, July 5. Senators from

be eliminated from the administration
food bill before it conies up for a tinal i
vote and there is a strong movement to
confine the measure to control of food,
feed and fuel, as it came from the houe.
Senator Gore, chairman of the senate
agriculture committee, received the fol
lowing telegram from Fort Worth,
Tex.: "Cotton has declined two and
one-half cents since it was included iii
the food coitrol bill. Before congress
gets through every commodity and every
line of business will be affected by this
bill and business throughout the coun
try will come to a cmoplete stop. For
(iod's sake be careful."

SLIGHT INCREASES!;
Petition for Increased Tariffs Not

fact, are still seeking substantial ad
vance in the present freight rates in
North Carolina
The petition filed by the railroads with
the corporation commission proposed a
basic schedule of freight rates very much
in excess of the present freight- rate
scale. In addition they asked that an
increase of 15 per cent be allowed over
and alove the increases made by the ba
sic schedule. Since the interstate com
merce commission denied the petition
of the railroads for a flat advance of )5
per cent in all freight rates, the peti

To illustrate the change in the rail

proposed rate of 70 cents. Under

The railroads: originally proposed rate
of 14c. Thev are now asking that this

that the railroads of North Carolina are
still seeking a very greatly increased
