With the coming of warm weather, the minds of both young and old naturally turn to the great out-of-doors, and Fashion is not slow to take up the cue of the golf ball and tennis racket. Stores have caught the spirit, and sweaters and other sports paraphernalia have taken up their stand. It would seem each store is striving to outdo its neighbor in featuring something distinctly new and surprising in the way of sports apparel. One house offers a novelty tennis costume with trousers. Already a number of these have been sold and the suit bids fair to be one of the fads of the summer. The blouse is cut in one, with the trousers like the body portion of a bathing suit, with mm (i4,H:!--t-ill mm k I 1 5 ' J v.w i IvYf Virginia Beach, Va.

Pr HP MM ww f 3 :.icCam i " I'M, -v: : Simple as these dresses sound, they are not what you would call inexpensive, unless, perchance, you make them yourself. They are few and far between, exclusive in the full sense of the word. At the preten tious homes up the Hudson, at the Casino at Newport these are the nlaces where the calicoes are found. The woman to whom the unusual appeals will welcome these latest novelties. They offer a relief from the ordinary cut-and dried sweater; are far more becoming to the aver age woman, smarter and more swag ger than their predecessors. A light-weight silk Jersey material is used in the making. This comes in all the brilliant shades, the emerald greens, the popular rcse shades, the soldat blues, and in black-and-white checker-board and diamond checks. Hand-smocking, in effectively blend ed coloring, adds a decidedly new touch at the wrist and below the yoke and at the shoulder. There were some charming new models shown on the Avenue the other day, quite eclipsing the cre tonne coats, the blazer-striped flan nels and the beach coats of tan tow eling. One was a soldat blue, bor dered in old gold at the front, with cuffs and collar to match; with the smocking done in the same shade of wool. One of rose-red had a Gre cian border in blue at the lower edge and was smocked in dark blue, while a brilliant green was combined with white. To all outward appear ances, they are the garden smocks, a trifle shorter and belted it is true; but, nevertheless, with the same quaint air that goes so charmingly with the cretonnes, calicoes and novelty printed pique skirts. We have Bryn Mawr College to thank for the sweater-blouse. It was here that the fad originated ; these blouses are a cross between a waist and a sweater. They are cut on the lines of the regulation sailor and are made of soft Italian silk. This silk has a high sheen and is somewhat similar in appearance to lightweight silk Jersey material. The blouses are about the length of a middy, made with coat closing at the front and a loose belt or a straight sash of the material. They can be worn inside or outside cf the skirt, according to fancy, and are finding favor for riding, tennis, golf and all outdoor sports of the sum mer. Emerald green is a popular shade.

The time Is near at hand when the cotton crop will be ready for mar ket. What are we going to do with it? Notwithstanding the fact that there was much talk of reducing the average last spring wa all know that it was not reduced very much. Unless things change in Europe we are going to be confronted this fall with the same situation as last fall. All of us agree that acreage reduc tion is the first remedy and I be- eive that storage warehouses are the second, we haven't done either in Halifax County. In a report is sued from the U. S. Department of Agriculture on July 14th. Profes sor Nixon says, "From a rather horough investigation of conditions in North Carolina it has been found that very few of the smaller towns have any warehouses. North Carolina is probably in more serious need of houses than any"of the other of the cotton-producing States." This doesn't-speak well for our State. Here in Halifax County in 1913, we produced 32,110 bales, our storage capacity is about 13,100 bales, in seven warehouses, five with a capacity of 11,400 bales is owned by the cotton mills at Roanoke Ra pids and Rosemary, and is not for the use of the farmer at all. This only leaves storage room for 1,700 bales in Halifax County for the use of the farmer to store his 32,000 bales of cotton. Again I ask what are ve going to do abobt it? As we have always done, wait until the time to sell and then throw up our hands and scream "Murder", or are we going to make some arrange ments to store our cotton or at least a part of it?. Geo. R.

With the trousers made of the same material as the skirts, they are al most invisible when the skirt blows out in trie wind, and, aside from this fact, they give a freedom of action which is impossible with pet ticoats wrapping around the feet. One woman said she was buying the dress to wear around the house. It is easy to understand the corn fort of such a costume, especially for house- cleaning times, when chmomg step ladders and like occupations are the order of the day. Another woman, who is outfitting girls for camp life, has ordered the costume for every member of the party. She explain ed that when they were around the camp she intended letting them wear the trousers, like overalls, without the skirts. Bright wall-paper cretonnes, also Oriental Viack-and-while patterns are used for these dresses, with collar and cuffs of white Swiss or organdy. In the less expensive md pastel shades shown.

It is really surprising how charming the effect is in these ma terials, with a touch of white in the collar and cuffs. In many instances, calico tiikes the place of the cretonnes, which have been so extensively favored for out ing apparel. The very oldest of the old-time patterns are revived. The quaint, figured reds our great-great- grandmothers wore, the bright daf fodil yellows, the crisp blues are all there, as light in weight and cool as ever. These qualities in the calico I are an advantage over the cretonnes. In fact, some of the prettiest of the cretonne patterns have been dupli cated in the calico that the effect may be gained without the weight. One of the old-time reds is made up in middy style for a tennis cos tume. What a contrast the frock will make among the white dresses!

Shields was speeding his Metz from Halifax in an effort to make Scot, land Neck before, night fall. He had been delayed m commencing his journey because of a big rain. All went well and the mayor was debating in his mind whether to take in the picture show upon ar riving or remain at home and spend the evening reading the papers, but a period was suddenly placed to his ruminations when he rached Look ing Glass Swamp about a mile from Spring Hill and rushed his car in. The big rains a few hours pre viously had so swelled the stream that about the time he reached the centre the water ran over the car and put his engine out of commis sion, thus leaving the mayor ail alone in the midst of the stream with the surging waters rushing over his machine. Not to be outdone the mayor re moved his shoes, rolled up his breeches as high as possible, and stepped out into the waters. Reach ing terra firma, the mayor struck out for Spring Hill, where he se cured a pair of mules from a friend. Returning with his assistance the car was removed from the wafer and snaked to Spring Hill where the mayor was forced to spend the night, thus depriving him of his usual pleasant evenings at home. Dr. Shields not being satisfied with tl e oceans of water at Looking Glass Swamp, almost as soon as he reached home he hiked away to Virginia Beach where he ays he could tee some warer. As the result of news greed, Ye Carl, the reportorial wizzard of The Commonwealth, lies in his lil "trum mel" bed this week suffering with a fractured right arm and body bruis es. It happened something about like this: Carl had been nosing around the Mayor's court during the breakfast hour, missing his ini tial meal deducing evidence on two or three alleged blind tigers whom the authorities had "cuffed" await ing their trial. After noting on several pieces of parchment that war vernaculars term "scraps of paper" what had taken place and what his keen news sense had anticipated wTould in all probability take place, Carl, the scooper, oblivious of the fact that The Commonwealth would not go to press before Wednesday afternoon, scurried away from the temple of justice as fast a3 his motly little "footsies" would carry him. But, no, friend feet were entirely too slow; he just needs must swing onto the running board of the Case car driven by Mr. Robert Josey, in order to get the story typed up in time. Mr. Josey, who was then in a hurry to meet the morning north bound A. C. L. train, stepped on the Case's tail and she was off in a blaze of speed Carl still clinging to the running board with pad and pencil hand. As the powerful petrol monster rounded the corner of Depot and Main street the young reporter for getful of the speed of the car in his anxiety lest his story grow stale with a few more revolutions of the wheel of time, sprang from the racing Case as The Commonwealth office was passed. Billie Walston, the proprietor of the Walston Tonsorial Parlor across the street from the newspaper office, for the first time in twenty years gashed the man he was shaving as Carl thudded the sand-clay one block up the street from the place he tried to alight from the car. (Gentle reader will note that Monday wasn't a good day for speeding, either.) Of course it wasn't a regular, hon est - to - goodness, cross - my - heart, hope-to die earthquake, but, on the square, Mr. Bobbie Jyner, who was inhaling the aroma of King Nicotine from the bowels of a "44" cigar two blocks away, stated positively that old terra firma did quake mildly at the exact time that Carl embraced Old Mother Earth. We offer Mr. Jyner's testimony to this extraor dinary statement, because we know that the "subs" to this paper will give credence to anything that comes out of that part of Mr. Jy ner's face that the smiles emanate from. However, we are digressing. Dr A. D. Morgan, who was in the neighborhood of the accident, was at once summoned. After making a careful examination of Carl's hurt places, found that his writing hand was limp and useless. The wound ed newsman was then ambulanced home and his arm set and slung. Knowing Carl's fidelity to the pa per and his mania for news, several of the chocolate milk boys, have in timated that the zealous young re porter purposely imperiled his life and sacrificed corporal pain for the sake of a long green news story with Carl in the center of the type. Court Upholds Verdict of Jury Declar ing Him Sane and Orders Him Released on $35,000 Bail. New York, July 16. Harry K. Thaw, adjudged sane last Wednes day by a jury, was given his free dom today by Supreme Court Jus tice Peter A. Hendrick, who an nounced that he had adopted the jury's verdict. The State immediately served no tice of appeal and Justice Hendrick fixed Thaw's bail at $35,000 to in sure his presence at future proceed ings. A surety company was pre pared to give the bond and Thaw was taken from the court house to the judge's chambers so details might be arranged. Thaw declined to make any state ment except after the bail arrange ments were completed he would go to Pittsburg. CHRONOLOGY OF CASE April 4, 1905 Thaw married Evelyn Nesbit.
