DRAFTEE TAKES HIS
CHILD TO CAMP
Petersburg, Va., May 29. The most
unusual incident that has arisen in
connection with the receiving of men
for the national army at Camp Lee oc
curred yesterday. A. W. Carpenter, a
Brunswick county draftee, arrived at
the camp with his three and a half
year old daughter, Betty Virginia. The
father claimed that he was the sole
support of the child, her mother hav
ing deserted him, had brought her to
camp with the hope that he could keep
her with him. The nurses at the base
hospital heard of the child and pleaded
that she be allowed to stay with them.
Betty Virginia was asleep when the
delegation of nurses arrived at the
hostess house early' in the afternoon
with their plea. Still in slumberland
she was carried to the nurses' home at
the hospital, where she will probably
permanently reside.
"Say, pa?" "What is it?" "When
deaf-mutes have hot words, don't they
get their fingers burnea.'" Judge.

Bell bucking 14 places in North Car
olina On an increase in telephone
rates spent the day with the corpora
tion commission, which heard as
much conversation yesterday as any
system ever took over its lines in a
day.
In Charlotte and Ashevillethe Bell
desires to heft rates from $4 to $5
on business and 50 cents on other 'ser
vice. Greensboro, Winston-Salem,
Raleigh, Wilmington and some other
towns would get the same service for
$4.50. In other cities wnicn have a
business rate of $3 the service would
cost $3.50 aid private instruments
would so up from 25 to 50 cents.
Forty-nine graduates, only one of
whom attended the closing exercises,
and he with an apology, received their
diplomas from the North, Carolina
state college of agriculture and engi
neering Monday night. t
The solitary member of the class
who was nresent was Major W. T
Combs, president or the class, who
asked an explanation of his presence
He has been in the training camp and
would not agree to come back without
a. statement showine why he came
with the other boys away. He came
to present the service flag of the 1918
class, a beautiful oriflamme with 849
,tars in it, showing the number of men
that the college has sent into the ser
vice. Of the 49 seniors, 39 are actual
ly in the military service and the 10
who are not have perfectly good alibis
Dr. Clarence Ousley, assistant secre
tary of agriculture, spoke to the ab
sent eraduating class. It was his first
commencement address in absentia, he
said. It was probably his first made
in a climate hotter than Texas as the
nearest door neighbor to a Mexican
revolution.
Dr. Ousley painted no rosy prospect
ahead of America. He could not
think of a Germany of superlatively
educated people ignorant of the atroc
ities in Belgium. These Germans
know and they assent to these crimes,
he said. Or else they have no faculty
for rebellion. The United States must
understand that it fights a country
whose crimes are indorsed by the peo
ple. The service flag was presented
after the address, and Lieutenant Gov
ernor Max Gardner accepted it on be
half of the college.
From Jones and Lenoir counties a
report reaches revenue headquarters
that six blockaders and 100 gallons
of whiskey were successfully held
Monday night, the ' result of a raid
Monday.
The outfit that produced so much
whiskey is said to have consisted of
three copper stills, 3,700 gallons of
beer, four sacks of malt, six sacks of
sugar and much copper wire. The
six arrested and placed un,der bond
were the four Tyndells, Flynn, George,
Thad and Miss Annie Tyndell, Clay
Hood and Will Sappell. Mr. Hood Is
represented as a man of large affairs.
This raid was the work of Revenue
Agent Tom Vanderford's squad, who
worked on the plans presented by a
former violator, who helped mightily
in bringing trouble to men who have
had their own way. It is believed here
that the purveyor of this valuable in
formation is not wholly a stranger
even in Wake county.
The ' largest amount of whiskey is
said to have been found at the home
of Miss Alice Tyndell. She is credit
ed with 44 gallons, 100-gallon still,
1,500 ' gallons of beer and 44 former
tors. Flynn Tyndell was third, with
14 gallons of booze, and Clay Hood has
an alleged balance of 25 gallons.
In Governor Bickett's home county,
franKiin, tne revenue officers were
doing . business at the same s hour - as
the raiding party' -was at work In "the
more eastern counties. The arrest of
R. K. May and Charles Medlin at the
place of operation makes the circum
stance embarrassing to those gentle
men, who lost a large still, 12 gallons
of liquor, 12 fermentors, 500 'gallons
of beer, 100 pounds of .sugar, a mule,
wagort and harness.
Former Governor W. W. Kitchin and
Mrs. Kitchin have 'gone to Battle
Creek, Michigan, where they will re
main a month. Governor Kitchin
goes for his health. He has been con
fined to his room much of, the four
weeks recently passed, and his annoy
ing blood pressure, which is far too
high, does not abate. He has not been
deemed a serious sufferer until recent
ly. His condition now is far from sat
isfactory. Barrings this, the former chief execu
tive never looked better. He has re
gained all his lost weight and has ap
peared to be in perfect health until ho
fdok his bed.
The supreme court adjourning Mon
day afternoon for the remainder of
the term decided the case of H. R.
Snider against the Graham count;
commissioners against the county.
The proposal was to take the old
county court house and jail and con
vert them into use as a farm life
school. The taxpayer objected, en
joined the commissioners, who buck
ed ineffectually. The highest court
holds that the act of 1917 creating
this school carries a tax levy with
out vote of the people, and that the
measure cannot be called necessary
municipal expense.
Two important cases are decided,
thefirst being the Carolina-Tennessee
Power company vs. the iiawassee
River Power company, involving the
priority of claim in the development
of this stream. The court holds that
the plaintiff corporation is bound to
render adequate service under the
terms of its charter.
In the Royal Arcanum suit of
James W. Hollingsworth, of Catawba,
vs. the Arcanum, involving the raise
in rates, the court holds with the
lower tribunal, which found no fraud
nor breach of contract in this raise.
The defendant waived this, Judge
Walker writing the opinion, said, the
court holding against the plaintiff.
