and their nearest neighbor, a brotn- ;
I
er of .Miss Dixon. .Mr. i.ank Dixon, j
lives about a quarter oi a mile away.
'Iheie was no witness to the (rime.
According to Miss Pixon she Had
been to the spring, about 7.. yards
from the house to uet a inicket or I
a
water and was about half way bac
to the house when some one behind
her spoke. Hie turned around to
face a negro who asked her if slie
had any chickens to sell. To this
he replied "No." The man sprang
at her thioat and began choking her.
A desperate struggle ensued and siie
was soon choked into insensibility.
The brute failed to accomplish his
purpose, due perhaps to the fact tliar
he became frightened and tied from
the scene. An hour later when of
ficers visited the spot there wer
abundant evidences of a hard struc
gle on the ground beside the path
w ay.
As soon as she regained conscious
ness Miss Dixon walled to the
house and told her mother of tne
gjyme. As soon as 'she had rested
sufficiently to regain her strength
she walked to the home of her
brother, Mr. I.ank Dixon, and told
him of the occurrence Mr. Dtxon

Suggestion!.
Our Dumb Animals.
A. kind word to the driver of the
delivery wagon which call9 at your
house asking him if he is careful to
blanket his horse, and if he doesn't
find kindness better than the whip,
or jerking at the reins, will help. him
to "Be Kind to Animals."
A handful of grass, an appTe, a
lump of sugar, given to the horse
that hauls anything into your yard,
or a drink of water, will lead the
driver to think of the words, "Be
Kind to Animals.''
Encourage the "Be Kind to Ani
tnals" campaign by word and deed
and financial gift. It's a noble
cause.
You can't go wrong by being a
friend to animals. You make no en
emies and lose ijci friends. Politics,
sectarianism the cause of the ani
mal knows nothing of these. Here

for a contest which was to choose j
the story teller to receive the gold

try for the gold medal offered by H.
M Van ?een for (ne beRt gtory te.
ler in the county.
Several of our teachers who came
from other schools say that this
'ork of story telling is one of the
most unique features nf s hool work
I in their experience. The idea caul'
to us about six years airo when the
: Ton eni e-Morris Company gave an
1 added impetus to our work by offer-
ing the schools a number of prizes.
The gold medal. Mr. Morris insisted,
j should be offered for something that
j would be open to every one. That
j it has fulfilled his mission is evident
I from the fact it has never been won
i by the same grade twice.
! In the six years that this pri'e lias
been offered it has been won by the
following pupils and grades: First
year. Miss Louisa Keld, ot tne slxtn:
second year. Miss Ixiuisa Reid, of
the ?( venth grade: third year, Ed
gar VcLcan, of the tenth grade:
fo.ir'h year. Little Virginia Huss. or
the first grade; fifth year, Mis Al
ine Keid. of the ninth grade: this
year. Tom Quickel, of the fourth
grade.
Tom Quickel's victory is all the
more honor to him for his having
had some of the best story tellers
of the schools against him and for
bavitiL' won over 1L" others. Among
those who should receive special
mention in Saturdays contest ari
Dan McConnell, Kenneth Campbell
Leon Schneider, Lottie Warren, Mary
Costner. Dan McConnell led all the
primary department Dll Kenneth
Campbell surpassed him. Leon
Schneider of the intermediate de
partment won over him. ixittte
Warren of the primary department
surpassed Leon and made him take
second plac e in the intermediate de

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMICS
GASTONIA WOMEN HEAR MISS MW
Instructor from State Normal De
livers Interesting Iecture I'nder
Auspices of Woman's Betterment
Association Other Iectures to
Follow in the Spring Tells
Women How to Combat the High
Cost of Living.
I'nder the auspices of the home
economics committee of the Woman's
Betterment Association Miss Minnie
L. Jamison, instructor in house
hold economics at the State Normal
College, Greensboro, lectured to the
women of Gastonia at the Central
school auditorium Friday afternoon.
A goodly number of ladles were
present and were not only delighted
but greatly benefitted by the lecture.
Friday's was the first of a series or
lectures which the committee hopes
to have for the women or tne town
during the spring months, the ulti
mate end being the employment or a
teac her of househould economics for
i be c ity sc hools. At a luncheon given
by Mis. D. A. Garrison Friday prior'
to the lecture the members of tbe
committee. Mrs. Garrison, Mrs. T.
W. Wilson. Mrs. D. E. McConnell
and Mrs. J. F. Thomson discussed
wi'h Miss Jamison ways and means
of attaining that end. The possi
bility of also securing two instruc
tors, one for East Gastonia and ne
for West Gastonia. to go amongtiie
people and instruct them in house
hold economics and in means and
methods of keeping the homes
healthful and sanitary, was also dis
cussed. That out of these discus
sions and plans will eventually come
something tangible seems altogether
proba hie.
In her lecture Friday Miss Jami
son used the blackboard to great ad
vantage. For instance she drew a
diagram of a cow, showing where
the several cuts of meat are obtain
ed; also a diagram of a cut of meat
as it appeared enlarged under tbe
microscope. She also placed on the
blackboard a table showing the rela
tive proportion of the several in
gredients of various kinds of meat.
This part of her lecture was intend
ed to show the women bow they
could make the cheaper cuts of meat
as palatable as the higher priced
cuts. She also gave numerous other
rec ipes for lessening the housekeep
ers work. Many valuable sugges
tions wore made by the speaker
which will no doubt be of great
benefit to the ladies who heard her
in the future conduct of their home
w o r k .
It is probable that the committee
will sec ure Miss Jamison for anoth
er lecture on "Food Values" some
time (lining the spring.
At the Ideal Theater today the
program includes "Devil Fox of the
North," a melodramatic feature in
two parts, and "Slim Becomes a
Cook," a Slim comedy.
The Tropical Amusement Com
pany, whic h showed all last week in
Kings Mountain, is giving a week's
exhibition in Gastonia on the Davis
