YOUNG MAN DROWNED
Sad Death IF DaIma Cover
of Fuquay Springs.
Drowned While Bathing In Rays Old mill Pond
An Accident That Has Saddened The
Community.

A dead young face gray in the waVer-
iEs; CLEAN of lanterns. a mothers heart
rending shrieks echoing through the
little church, the sobs of sympathlzlng
women and mems bearded checks wet
with starting tears such was the
piteous scene that followed the prlpGiha
home to Fuquay Springs of the drowned
body of young Dalma Cover at lO O'CLOCK
Sunday night.
Five hours previous he had met MS
death in Stewards pond, better known
as the Old Ray Mill Pond, about two and
a half miles from Fuquay Springs just
within the line of Harnett county. In
company with thtree other boys, Alpha,
Dave and Carl Fuquay. he had gone to
the pond to battle. The four were in
boat about midway the sheet Of water
when in trying the depth the single oar
became fixed in the mud.
Unable to secure it Alpha @F'uquay
sprang out to secure board for Il
paddle from the little island near by.
Young Cover instantly followed him, but
being in water beyond his depth he be-
gan to sink. The lost oar just then
shot to the surface, and Selling it Alpha
extended it to his drowning companion.
AS Dalma grasped it Alphas foot
slipped on the Shiny bottom, the oar
flew from his hand and Dalma went
down like a stone.
The cries of the horror stricken boys
quickly brought others upon the scene.
1t was nearly an hour. however. before
the body was located and brought to the
surface. The party engaged in its re-
covery were Ed Stewart, Alfred Beas-
ley, N. A. Belts and Fletcher Ray. /
The news of the drowning flew like a
prairie fire. The fathers voiceless
agony, the fathers frantic grief, the
shock to the young mans sister with a
newly born babe nesting in her arms
and her husband unavoidably absent,
may be more easily imagined than de.
scribed. The shadow of this peculiarly
sad death Lies heavy upon every heart
in the community.
Dalma Cover, the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
David Cover, was but II years of age,
of pure and stainless life, genial warm
hearted and a favorite with all who
knew him. He was an employe at DR..
Sections planning mill and one of the
most efficient workmen there. His en-
ployers say that his place cannot easily
be filled. Messrs. Gilbert and Reynolds
ever spoke of him in the highest terms
of praise.
The funeral took place from the Free
Will Baptist Church yesterday after
noon at o'clock. In the absence of the
pastor the service was conducted by
Mr. D. H. Fuquay. The casket was
covered with floral offerings and the
church filled with sorrowing friends
The remains were laid to rest in the
newly made burial ground in the rear of
the church, only a short distance from
the now desolate home, so lately bright
ened by the fair young life cut short in
it's spring.

HICKS, Forecasts For August.

The 3rd and 4th of August are central days
of reaetionary storm disturbances. On and
touching these days the Temperature will rise
to climax of warmth, and barometric read
ings will fall, progressively from west to east
ending in threatening clouds, with thunder,
light rains and heavy buster in many sections.
On the 9Th Earth passes between the Sun and
the great world Jupiter, near New Moon on
the third and the moons passage over the
celestial equator on the 9th. These facts will
necessiiate excessively warm weather, and if
violent electrical storms do not result seismic
perturbations will be most natural. We be-
lieve that very warm weather, with light pre-
cipitation-even hurtful drouth are in store
for most parts of the country, until the latter
part of the month, especially.
The Vulcan storm period central on the 9th,
covering the 9TH to 18th, will be marked by
changes in the thermometer and barometer,
common to the storm period, and the culmina-
ton into storm, with more less precipitation,
may be expected on and touching the 9th,
10th and 18th. This period may be watched
with interest, as it may indicate one way or an
another, much that may be in store for us
for weeks to come. We fear that, in the main,
warm and dry will prevail.
On the 14th, 18th and 18th a reaction to
storm conditions will be noticeable-the
barometer will fall, warmth will increase,
cloudiness will ensue, and rains, according to
the abundance or lightness prevailing in the
Mars period, will visit many parts in transit
from west to east. Change TO cooler should
normally appear with the rising barometer fol-
lowing these perturbations.
Coming to the Vulcan storm period extend
ing from the 18th to 23rd, we see that Mars,
Earth and Mercury all lend their disturbing
powers to the period. During this period
we also find that the moon is at her full on
the 18th and on the celestial equator on the
Dist. Earth will have entered far enough
into the autumnal equinox at this time, 10
make il possible for dangerous storms to APP
pear on the southern seas and coasts. West
India hurricanes are not at all improbable at
this period.
If the present Mars period should take the
stormy side all the periods in the last half
of August will bring general storms, some OF
them furious and fatal. The reactionary
storms on about the 26th to 2Sth, at the centre
of the Mercuy period, and near the Moons
last quarter, will possibly be fraught with vio-
lence aud danger, especially along the south
coasts. We enter regular storm period as
we pass out of August, the crisis of whichwill
fall in the first three days of September.
