A DOG KILLER.
Register Miller Brings an Excitina
Story From Rural Hall.

Register Miller Brings an Exciting
Story From Rural Hall.
Register of Deeds Miller returned
from Rural Hall Monday. lie
brought back with him an exciting
story about ''dog killer" which has
yeen playing havoc with a number Of
CANNES in that section ever since last
summer.
Mr.. Miller never put much faith in
the report until yesterday morning
when his son came in home and noti-
fed him that the 'dog killer" was
out again and had slain two animals
one for Mr.. Tandy Kiser and the
other belonging to Mr.. John T. Moore,
Of MOOre's Springs. The father went
out with his son aud with his own
eyes saw the two dead dOgs-Or what
was left of them. The "killer" had
eaten about half Of each animal. The
story goes that he does the same thing
with all the dogs he kills.
Like the other citizens, the Regis
ter of Deeds has his curiosity aroused
and he is anxious to see that "dog
destroyer" or course he would want
shooting iron" along when he meets
that animal.
Many people who read This will nc
doubt say let the ''dog killer" keep up
his good work.

THE WILSON'S.

Railway Commission Case Before U.
5. Supreme Court.
A telegram from Washington says
Robert o. Burton, Esq, brought the
controversy over the North Carolina
Railroad Commissionership to the
attention of the Supreme Court Mon
day, on motion for a writ OF at
tention against L. 9. Caldwell and J
H. Pearson, present incumbents, and
asking an order from said Court re-
storing the offices to j. w. Wilson
and S. Ohio Wilson. The ground
upon which the application was based
is that Caldwell and Pearson had vio-
lated the writ of supersedeas issued by
the Chief Justice Of the Supreme
Court of North Carolina 10 the case OF
the appeal OF the Wilson's from the
judgment Of the State Supreme Court
giving the offices to Caldwell and
Pearson.
The Court declined to act on the
motions until the papers filed ia the
case were read and considered.

It Marks the Beginning of the First Railroad
In the United States, the

Of the foundation stsne, beneath which
and parallel with the ridge, lay long
and level plain, in which the process
sion formed on its arrival, facing to-
wards tho pavilion. The cars were
drawn up in a body on the left, and
inclining towards the rear OF the pa
vilion. The Masonic bodies formed a
large hollow square around the first
stone, The spectacle presented from
the pavilion was gay and splendid in
very high degree.
"The ceremonies were commenced by
a prayer by the Rev. Dr. Wyatt, Ma
sonic grand chaplain; the vast audi
ence uncovered their heads, when Mr..
Heath, after an eloquent preface, read
the Declaration OF Independence. The
Carrollton March, composed by Mr..
Clifton, being then performed, Mr..
John B. Morris delivered an address
from the president and directors of the
company"
On the conclusion Of the address
two boys dressed as Mercuries advanc-
ed to the canopy and prayed that the
printers might be furnished with a
copy of the remarks and address just
delivered, that they might be printed
and distributed to the people.
The deputation from the Black
smiths association next advancing, pre-
sentcd Mr.. Carroll the pick, spade,
stone hammer and trowel, prepared by
them for the occasion, and which are
now in the Masonic Temple in Balti-
more.
Next came the stone cutters, who
prepared the stone while Gen. Carroll
tossed aside the first spadeful Of earth.
The writer Of the pamphlet then gives
a detailed account OF the proceedings
Of laying the stone, with impressive
Masonic ceremonies.
The following is the inscriptions:
This stone, presented by the stone
cutters Of Baltimore in commemora-
tion of the commencement Of the Bal

placed on the Fourth of July, 1928, by

No Buyers for Gold Cain.

There is an old story to the effect
that in order to win a wager a man
once stood on London bridge for an
hour with tray full Of sovereigns In
front Of him, and offered the coins for
sale to passersby at halfpenny each.
Nobody would purchase, and the wager
was won. An antique and curio dealer
in Seymour place, Marylebone road, ex-
hibited in his window on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday last, as the result
of wager, 20 English sovereigns mixed
with other coins, the collection being
surmounted with a ticket bearing the
words: "These coins 15s Cd each. For
a few days only" Although mixed
with other coins, the sovereigns were
the most conspicuous. Strange to say
there were no purchasers. One timid
individual went into the shop and
nervous!y inquired if the coins were
good" He was told by the shop
keeper that the coins were there to be
sold at the price marked, but no other
information could be given. He left
without purchasing. Yesterday morn
ing the news got around Marylebone
that sovereigns were to be had for 15s
Cd. But it was too late. The trader
had won the wager and withdrawn his
collection-of sovereigns, at any rate
from the window Of his shop.--Pall

Furnes, called Veurne' by the Fla
mands. an old Belgian town, IN the eX-
treme weat OF Flanders, not far from
the sea and the French frontier, has
just celebrated its dramatic penitential
procession, great religious passion
play, for the two hundred and forty
eighth time in its history.
Sleepy Old Furnes awakens once a
year from its life OF idyllic isolation,
to hold, on the last Sunday OF the
month Of July, penitential procession
for the continuous eXpiation Of a crime
that was committed in the year 1850.
Gothic churches and public buildings
dating from the time of the Renais-
sance indicate the past importance OF
the little community that Is now almost
forgotten to the world. The highly
dramatic features OF the annual reli-
giOus ceremony, which is held on the
same day as the kirmeSs OF st. Wal
burgis, appeal strongly to the Belgians.
The streets OF the quiet town then as
sumo penitential aspect, while they
are anonymously enlivened at the
SehiN eiliiC with LSStA iltSF, ~ tLiC iAIN'-I
profane character.
Burghers of the town and inhabitants
of the reighboring villages take part in
the Passion Play that forms the most
important feature Of the procession
These simple actors seem to be thor
oughly inspired by the feelings OF self
humiliation and repentance imposed
upon them by their parts.
From the Church Of st. Walburgis,
which, at the beginning OF the four
teenth century was designed with such
magnifcence that only the choir could
be completed after the original de-
signs, the procession takes its start
To the tolling Of bells, at O'Clock in
the afternoon, the line winds through
the streets that are decked with flags
in the national colors, black, yellow
and red.
Gensdarmes, in bearskin caps, lead
the way, checking the approach of the
curious.
There are forty groups in the pro
| cession. At the head Of each walks 6
young girl in holiday attire, bearing {
cross, who announces in the Flemish
| tongue the scene that is to follow
