FACTS ABOUT The Great Majestic Range It is the only range in the world made of Malleable and Charcoal Iron. It has, beyond any question of a donbt, the largest and best reservoir. It uses about half the fuel used on other ranges, and does better work by far. The Majestic All Copper Nickeled Reservoir heats the water quicker and hotter than any other. It is the only reservoir with a removable frame. The Charcoal Iron Body of the great Majestic Range lasts three times as long as a steel body. Being made of non -breakable material, there is prac tically mo expense for repairing the Majestic. As for baking, it is perfection; not only for a few months, but for all time to come. A GREAT MAJESTIC RANQE lasts three times as long as a cheap range, but it doesn't cost three times as much. Mucmc anoc otVii?AorlTHtrAoviTcouNtiTiii PROOF.

Charlie Walk er, of this county, met hn death today under most remarkable cir cumstances. He had for some time entertain ed a grudge against automobiles, especially a certain one driven by a young man of Shelby, Mr. Rush Thompson. The young man with his car carried Dr. T. E. McBrayer, wife and three children to Fallston, and passed Mr. Walker, who was plowing a mule near the road. The mule was frightened by the Machine, but was not unmanagea ble. The tragedy occurred as the automobile party were returning home. When within about two miles of Shelby, on the same road they met Mr. Walker again, this time driving the mule to a buggy. When Walker saw the machine he got out of the buggy and pulled the mule and buggy directly across the road, thus obstructing the passage. Mr. Thompson re quested him to come on and pass, he having already stopped the car. Mr. Walker refused to move, but urged Thompson to pass him. This Thompson attempted to do, but just as the machine began to move Walker raised a gun he was carrying in his hand and timed it at the automobile party. Just as he did so he fell in his tracks and without a struggle died. Dr. McHraycrgot out ami examined him and found that lie died of heart trouble. The gun wa a breach loader anil loaded. Walker had three sheels in his pocket mid had told some of the people in the neigh borhood that he intended to kill Thompson if he passed him again1 in an automobile. If looked like an act of Providence that saved the party. Methodist General Conference. The Asheville Gazette says. Arrangements are already leing made for the enterainment of the Quadrennial conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, which meets here for a 21 days session, beginning next May. It is said by those, who arc in a position to know, that this confer ence will probably be the most ira portaut convention that has ever been secured by this city. It is the law makings body of the Meth odist church, and special interest attaches to this meeting from the fact that from four to six bishops are to be elected. It is confidently expected that the attendance will be about 2000 people who will be in the city for three weeks. In Germany all soldiers must learn to swim. They must also learn to swim across streams, carry ing guns and ammunition. Telegrams From Mars. Charlotte "bronicle. We wonder if there are as big' fools on MaiN as there are on this earth of ours. We have told of the Harvard professor's ten million dollar scheme of sending a wink to Mars and of the Texas idea of mak ingamarkon the desert. Xow comes a Iloston professor who in tends to get into an airtight box and go ten miles up by balloon, where he hopes to get in wireless connection with the citizens of Mars. He takes it for granted that there is life on Mars and smart life at that. He thinks the peo pie there are masters in the art of the using of ether waves. He hopes to intercept some of their ether waves. "Receiving their messages," he says, "we would not understand them, but it would give us something to puzzlo out. Perhaps we we could learn their code, and, in the course of year or more, be able to return the mes sages and actually communicate." This professor is in earnest and will go aloft in September. He is pretty well acquainted with Mars already, for he tells us that "the Martians have found out the things that the people of this planet are still blindly groping for. Upon Mars they have progressd thousands of vears bevond us. All the things that are mysteries here are an openbook there.

When I find my audi; ence inclined to titter at my argu ments I switch right into an anec dotes so as to get legitimate credit for the laughter."
