" boro men who declared that he was

After a number of witnesses for the
prosecution had been put on the stand
in the case against Jack Hall for big
amy, letters were Introduced in his
hand writing which admitted thrt 1 e

upon admitted his guilt. . Judge Ray

years in the penitentiary, capias not

called attention to the bad condition of
the court house roof, and Judge Rav
. ordered that Messrs. B. R. Wall. C. P.
Griffin and E..B. Shankle, the county
commissioners, be, indicted for failure
to perform duty. ' The commissioners
have been attending to the matter as
well as possible in the short time thev

CIVIL COURT.
After devoting last week to crimi
nal cases, court started in Monday on
civil cases. The case of Lonnie C.
Mims vs. the S. A. L. was begun Mon:
day and the indications are . that it
will take up nearly all week. Mims
was mail clerk on the train which was
wrecked between Wadesboro - and
Lilesville about two years ago, fxA
sustained injuries which, he claims,
have incapacitated him to a considera
ble extent. He is asking for $20,000
damages. Mims' doctors have testi
fied that, as a result of his . injuries,
he is unable to work, but the railroad
also has medical testimony that he is
able. In the general dislodgement of
the contents of the mail car when the
wreclc occurred, Mims was struck bv
heavy articles. It will be remembered
that Eli Bennett and two negro boys
were accused of wrecking this train.
' ' Bennett was released on account of
lack of evidence, but the two boys,
' who at first confessed that they help
ed Bennett put a drawbar on the track
and then retracted the confession,
were tried and convicted of a misde
meanor. The railroad is urging that
it is not liable for damages because
the train was wrecked, but the plain-
, tiff charges that the wreck was caus
ed by the bad condition of the track,
for which the comoanv was responsi
ble. It will be remembered that the
engineer and fireman of the train were
killed. r
The cases of H. M. Crepps vs. Hat
tie Crenps end of Annie E. Rainwater
vs. K. Li Rainwater, both suits for
divorce, were tried and the issues de
cided in favor of the plaintiffs. These
cases were tried under the law passed
, .bv the last legislature allowing di
vorce after a separation-of five years.

Crowds Expected Here. '
I At a meeting of merchants of
Wadesboro last Monday afternoon" it
was decided to observe three big Dol-
lar Davs here on Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday, 'May 11. 12. 13. the
first three days of the chautauqua.
Nearly all the merchants of the town
will participate in offering bargains
and making the day a success, and
thev assure us that the bargains will
be worth coming a long way. The
indications are that this will be th3
biggest trade event ever put on in
Wadesboro. See the big ad on page 3,
and watch for further anniuncement:-
next week.
FOR THE CHILD'S SAKE.
Maybe you have childran, maybe
you have none. It makes little differ
ence whether vou have or whether
you haven't. You were once a child,
and children will always be with us.
We can get along with.poor roads and
streets, and do without a great many
necessities, but it is the duty of ev
ery good citizen to assist in the edu
cation of Our children. The boys and
girls of todav are the men and wom
en, the father and mothers of tomor
row. You can nut off most things
and defer most actions but you can't
stop children from growing.
No doubt Wadesboro has the poor
est school accommodations of any
town of its size in the state. Our
present equipment was built to care
for about 300 children. Now since the
district has been enlarged, and our
fathers and mothers are interested in
educating their children, there are en
rolled .600 children. .
Everybody agrees that our Quarters
are too small. Now what is the b2st
thing to do? .Build some temporary
fire traps like the one3 we have or
build a modern school structure in
keeping with the times and increas
ing population. It will cost money,
no one denies, but what thing of val
ue does not cost money. It took mon
ey to build streets, court house, jail,
sewer lines, and water plants, but we
did it. Now why can't we have a
school building, somewhere in keeping
with the growing demands of our chil
dren: This question of jtal impor
tance will be voted on May 3rd. Now
just because vou are opposed to bonds
don't, refuse to help those who can't
helo themselves.- - . -
The only way to build up a com
munity 19 to piiiput the children, for
iiicv are to take our places in a short
while and vou ' know what a slim
chance a boy or girl has nowadays
without an education.
In the last 3 vears we have had Red
Cross drives, Polish Relief drives,
Near East drives, Armenian drives.
Methodist Centenary. Baptist 75 mil
lions, Presbyterian millions and Epis
copalian millions. Wadesboro meas
ured up 100 per cent in every drive
mentioned above. If we can send
monev to different pzrts of the world
and the United States to relieve and
educate people, why can't we do a lit
tle home mission work and build us a
school worthy of our children ?
For the sake of humanity and com
ing generations give us a vote for
schools arid better schools.
A MOTHER.
DESTRUCTIVE HAIL STORM.
Hail yesterday afternoon and last
night did considerable damage in An
sonville and Burnsville townships. It
was one of the worst hail storms An
son has experienced in recent years.
At Mr..B. D. Nelme's home the shin
gles on one of the out houses were
torn off, and in this ""'ghborhood the
bark was knocked off- many trees.
Small grain was the only crop mate
rially damaged. It is reported there
was a heavy storm at Salisbury, and
the hail probably extended from the
northern part of this county to that
city. Mr. Nelme's wheat and oats
crop is almost a total loss. The hail
stones on his farm were as large as a
man's" fist. The storm started about
6 o'clock yesterday afternoon. About
12 today Mr. Frank L. Dunlap
brought a number of the hail stones
to Wadesboro. and they were about as
large as guinea eggs, after lying 18
hours and being rained on.,

some very sick, some who get no com

NEW PROPOSALS OF GER- I
MANY FAR BELOW DEMANDS !
Difference is
cording, to
26 Billion Marks, Ac
Berlin Proposals Not
Public.
Berlin, "April 25. (By the Associat
ed Press.) The ultimate total indem
nity which Germany agrees to pay the
allies is 200,000,000,000 gold marks, as
against 220,000,000,000 demanded by
the allies in their Paris terms.
This is positively stated by those
close to the government, although the
German counter-proposals have not
been made public here.
Dr. Simons, the foreign secretary,
did not present the new proposals to
the reichstag today because of an
understanding with the German em
bassy and for the additional reason
that there is a paragraph in the note
to President Harding suggesting that
he feels free to query back for fur
ther information or the elucidation of
any point not clear, if he so- desires,
before submitting the note to the en
tente. ' Consequently, the German press
and public, and even the party
leaders, have not seen the counter
proposals, and their publication is
eagerly awaited.
The Germans suggest making the
annuities in the payment of the rep
arations flexible, dependent upon the
recovery of German industries. An
international loan, is suggested, to
be floated immediately, to place
ready cash at the disposal of the
entente, but no sum is named.
Germany expresses her willingness
to pledge the customs revenues as
guarantees, and further offers to de
liver manufactured articles to the al
lies with the understanding that
Germany will pay the producer and
get credit on the indemnities. Ger
many also offers immediate parti
cipation in the work of restoration
in the devasted areas; labor and ma
terials to be supplied sby Germany
and credited against (he indemni
ties. .
Germany's - counter - proposals are
are so intrieate-nird ItrrolveclarrtTi?
experts who have read them ex
press the opinion that they may be
misinterpreted, as the London offer
was by persons who', did . analyie
them carefully arid wonk out -the total
amount that would have been yielded.

CHAUTAUQUA
Will Be nere Five Days Beginning
May 11 A Fine Program.
The local committee responsible for
the re-appearance of Redpath's Chau
tauqua, here ac;ain thi3 year, May
11th to the 16th, are sparing no ef
forts to make the occasion a success.
Hundreds who attended the Chau
tauqua last season will recall the ex
cellence of the programs, and remem
ber with general satisfaction the
pleasure experienced with each per
formance. The Redpath management
have long since realized that all per
manent business is builded upon the
principle of giving satisfaction in ev
ery detail. They have kept this idea
in mind throughout the years they
have been before the public, and each
season make it a rule to give some
thing better than anything which has
preceded. The program this season
is entirely different from what was
rendered last year, every speaker a
hew face, bringing a new message.
Every artist and performer different,
each rendering something entirely
new. Dunbar's White Hussars, a band
Pand male chorus, clad in their gor
geous costumes of white, will take
the place of Kryl and his band. "It
Pays to Advertise," which made such
a hit with everybody, will be sup
planted by that famous Broadway
success, "Nothing But the Truth."
Hundreds have paid two dollars and
a half, the price of a season ticket to
the Chautaqua, and railroad fare to
Charlotte to see a play which did not
compare in quality of performance
and satisfaction given with what you
may expect from "Nothing But the
Truth." And - so on each cf th?
numbers will be new, and each sur
passing anything before offered.
Season tickets which will sell fcr
$2.50; children $1.38, and war tax,
will go on sale Monday. As this is a
community proposition, no one ex
pecting to make any money out of it
personally, it is hoped the public will
cooperate in making the occasion a
success, by buying their ticketsearlyA
ana buerwiae helping in all the ways
they can.

MB. F. If. HYATT
Sketch of Life of Former Amoniaa
From Columbia State.
F. H. Hyatt, prominent citizen, and
lay leader in the Methodist church,
died suddenly at his home 4202 Main
street, in North Columbia, Thursday
morning at 11 o'clock. His death cam
as a poignant shock to his family and
friends. " Mr. Hyatt 'had been indis
pose! for a few days, but his condition
wa.s not regarded as serious until he
experienced a sinking spell, due ta
heart weakness, during the morning,
from which he never rallied.
Mr. Hyatt was one of the Ieaimtc
life insurance factors in the state, at
the time of his retirement as statu
manager of the Mutual Life Insurance
Co., with offices in the National Loan
& Exchange bank building.
For more than 35 years Mr. Hyatt
was an active force in his chosen field.
He was a North Carolinian by birth,
having been born in Anson county,
June 14, 1849, tne son of David and
Louisa Hyatt. He grew up on his
father's farm and as the result of his
early work and experience, Mr. Hyatt
was always interested in farming and
matters relating to rural life such as
schools and good highways. He at
tended Rutherford college, paying his
tuition and other expenses by clerking
at night and on Saturdays in one of
the local stores.
He entered the insurance field in
1884 as a superintendent of agencies.
In 1S02 he was appointed general
agent of the Mutual Life in North ar.J
South Carolina.
Prominent in Business
A number cf enterprises have b.r.
promoted by Mr. Hyatt. From 1SD4

& Eau Claire Railway Co. At the
time of his death he was director of
the National Loan & Exchange Bank.
He has also been director of the Col

urer of the Southern Cotton associa
tion, secretary of the Hyatt Brick Co.,
-anA-president of: the : South: Car olln sT
Marble works. He has been interest

ing and the one with which his name
is linked , was the development of
Hyatt Park suburb of Columbia. In
1896 he was president of the Columbia
Y. xM. C. A. He has been called "the
founder of Columbia college" for in
addition to giving land on which the
college is situated, he contributed
largely to its financial development.
A Church Leader.
He has been prominent in church
affairs, having been officer and Sun
day school teacher, in Washington
street Methodist church and also hav
ing been an officer in the State Sunday
School association. Mr. Hyatt was
one of the pioneers in the good roads
movement in the state. , He was candi
