Alice Elizabeth, the three-year-old

nedy, of Bessemer City, died at the Gas
ton Sanatorium here last night at 7:30
o'clock from internal injuries sustained
shortly after noon yesterday in a most
distressing accident which occurred in
the . Kennedy yard at Bessemer City.
The body was taken to the Kennedy
home last night and funeral services will
be held there Sunday afternoon at :?
o'clock.
Together with two little neighbor chil.
dren, Albert Withers, aged about fiv-',
and , his little sister, aged about three,
she was playing in the .'Kennedy" yard.
During th! recent construction of water
and sewer mains three pieces of large
terra cotta piping had been left in the
yard.. ' It. was of such a size and ' weight
that it never occurred to the parents
that the children could possibly move it.
In the course of their .play Albert With
ers got inside of, one of these pieces of
pipe which was lying ou a slight incline.
It was thus loosened '-from its moorings
and rolled a few feet. - catching both of
the little girls .underneath. .Mrs. Ken
nedy' hod been in the yard with the chil
dren and had gone into the, house just 't
few moments prior to the accident. Mr.
Kennedy was just entering the yard,
coming home to dinner, when the acci
dent happened and rushed to their res-
fcue. Both were pinned underneath, the
pipe. The little Withers girl had her
arm injured. Little Alice Elizabeth sus
tained internal injuries. She was
brought to the hospital here promptly
and everything possible done for her but
without avail. The accident was an un
avoidable one. The--bereaved patent
have the sympathy of a large circle of
friends here and elsewhere in their great
sorrow.

High Point Starts
To Organize A Y. M. C. A.
HIGH POINT, Nov. 17. Today
saw the definite beginning of a move
ment for the establishment of t a
Young Men's Christian Association
here. At a meeting of the local Ro
tary Club A. S. Caldwell, local citi
zen, declared that the city's most
most urgent need was a Y. M. C. A.
Immediately following this declara
tiot, two other prominent citizens,
Frank Wineskie and A. S. Caldwell,
offered to be the first of 10 men to
donate $5,000 each for the construc
tion of a Y. M. C. A. in High Point.
Then the Rotary Club passed a mo
tion providing for the appointment
of a committee to secure the support
of other organizations in the city in
launching a drive for raising funds
with which to build a Y. M. C. A.
building. This committee was ap
pointed and will begin its work within
the near future.
It is believed that by the first of
next year the movement for building
a Young Men's Christian Association
structure here will be well under way.
For some time the thought of estab
lishing such an institution in High
Point has been in the minds of its
citizens, but this is the first actual
step that has been taken toward a
movement for building a Y. M. C. A.
here. - '

ider'ed tho caliphate, according to Ilafet
iPuslia, KfiiuiliHt governor of Constau
Itinople, - - : .
j "According to this Moslem law," lu
Itold the Associated Press, "wheu tho
sultan leaves Turkish soil .and enters
i Oiristia nterritory he places himself un
der I hnstiaii protection and thereby
loses the caliphate, teasing to retain any
authority over the Moslems."
Mohammed 's . departure on the British
dreadnought Malaya in the face of
threatened trial for treason by the An
gora government, was conuiurcd by Rale fc
Pusha to the flight of Damad Fcrid
Pasha, former grand vizier, and the
' ' ot her members of the opposition who
by their acts were compromised in ; the
eyes of the whole Turkish nation. "
"Great Britain's connivance in tli.5

several hours following the escape iu
frantically telephouing Angora for in

against the filcht of - the members of

The Sultan left his palace by the baelc
door, kttowu as the Malta gate, which
heretofore has always been seulcd. The
British for some time had been uwnre of
his anxiety and fear for his personal
safety, and , were prepared to removd
him' when be said tho word. They ex
plained, however, that tho request for
safe conduct must come from hi ui, as
they could not be placed iu tho falsa
posit iou of having kidnapped him.
They also xo'uted out that he mui''

The flight was so carefully arranged
that the nationalist officers and soldier's
stationed in the palace grounds did not
learn of it until shortly before th.i

which the "sultan was to have partici

Edison Things None Too
Well Of College Men
PRINCETON, N. J. Nov. 18.
The "main objection I have against
a college graduate" said Thomas A.
Edison, in an interview, "is that he
objects to work, especially if it is
dirty."
Mr. Edison expressed his views
at his laboratory in Orange, N. J.,
to the Princetonian.
"The college graduate doesn't
want a job with work in it," con
tinued the electiical wizard, "and
when he does get a position he ex
pects to be appointed foreman at
the end of six weeks. Most men
show lack of imagination. They
scracely have any suggestions to
make in their daily routine which
might lead to improvement in their
various depaitments.
"Cohege is a good place for a
man who wai'ts to work but, un
fortunately there are very few of
this type-nowadays. Yet, if a man
want' to succeed it is not necessary
for him to go to college. He will
broaden himself without it. We
have enough lawyers, doctors and
literary rr.cn. Also we b.ive ' many
$100,000 jobs with ro one capable
of filling; them. Hie main quaiity
for sfoesa. In rcy estimation, is am
bition with a will to work."
