of fan.
RICHMOND, VA.,May 17,1915
The second week in May finds
plans for the twenty-fifth annual
reunion of the United Confeder
ate Veterans, aohedulod to be held
in Richmond, June 1, '2 and 8,ali
but whipped into perfect shape.
Work of preparing tor the hand
ling of the reunion and the vast
crowds that are expected to at
tend has been so thoroughly
distributed by the committee
system employed that Rich
mond will be ready to receive
the vial tors weeks before the ao
tual opening date.
The 1915 reunion, which comes
fifty jears after the fall of Rich
mund and the end of the War be
tween the States, is expected
to be of the utmost significance
and salomnitv. To Richmond in
June will come the greatest
gathering of Survivors of tne
Confederate arms that has per
hapa ever been seen. With them
will eome thousands of . visitors
relatives, and curiosity seekers,
who will flncl much of interest
during the week to repay them
for the trip. v
Acceptance from many
Southern Qavenorsof the invi
tation to attend the reunion as
the gueata of the Confederates
hare been reoMved.Ttie presence
of so many State executives will
lend much to tlx importance of
the occasion. President WUsou'a
reply tothe invitation of the gen
et al oouwniue is atill in abey
ance That ho will also attend Is
the exspH:taton ol those in
chare of th reunion.
Richmond, almost to the last
man, is animated witntne aesire
to make the twenty-fifth reunion
the greatest event in the , mem
ory oJthe old Confederates. For
one week th great city will be
turned aver to th visitor in
strict trth. Bach person seems
determined that business and
private affairs ar to give place
to the greater- duty of entertain-
ng the reunion.
Ureat plans have hoea made
fo the decoration of the oity
and of the Court of Honor, in
particular. The-Court ol' Honor
is to. b looateti at Lee Cirote, in

A BOLD THIEF
IS WALTER SHARON
Stole horse and boggy (at Salisbury"
and peddled clothing which he
stole here, killed negro at firover
Walter Sharon, alias Shine"
Sharon, is doubtless a pastmast'
er in stealing. At least the offi
cers here are satisfied that he is
the man they want for robbing
the Kings Mountain Pressing
Club monday nipht of last week
and that Salisbury wants for"
stealing a horse and buggy off
the streets of that city a feW
nights orevious. Roy and Sidney
Brown were awfully disturbed,
over the lift that had been made
from their shop and, about an
other dozen civilians were awful1- .
ly upset becaAsf their Sunday
clothes had passed between suns.
Tne proprietors of the pressing
club went to work with the local
officers and soon scented the
trail. '
A dusky gentleman by the
name of Walter Sharon better
known as "Shine" Sharon was
reported as traveling through
the country near Sparrow Spring,
the next day dri"ing an except
ionally Ant horse to a handsome
rubber-tire buggy and selling
second hand clothing. Hoy went
over the mountain to see what
be could see and before he re
turned he ld found and recov
ered all the missing clothes ex
cept two parrs of panto strd one)
skirt. "Shine" represented to
the people that his father bad
died leaving him the horse and
buggy and that he was doing
retail bnsiness iu second hand
clothing. One follow said, he .
sole it mighty cheap", and ha
did for he let Bob Tribbles very
best SuDay go-to meeting suit
go for $3 .00. Twv pairs of pants
went for twenty cents and a
skirt thrown in. One pair of
pants went without money and
without price. Shine" was
good to the darkies. If one need
ed a garment real bad and could
n't pay the price he reduced it'
to suit the customer, "Just to
build np trade" we suppose.
About the time the above in
formation was all in Cbief Fish
er recievea notice rrom . tne
Salisbury officers of a stolen,
horse and buggy the description
of which tallied exactly with
(that used by "Shine". On Tues-,
day night "Shine drove into -Gastonia
to get his woman and
before the officers could nab him -.
he slipped away like a flea. At
about this junction in the game
it dawned upon the authorities
that "Shine" is wanted, by the .
state for the murder of a negro
at G rover last August.
Officers everywhere how aro- .
on the lookout for the offender. -A
reward of $25 is offered by
Salisbury authorities for tho.
horse and bnggv. .
