Joseph A. Haywood, Esq, who lives

graduating himself on a narrow es-

Thursday last.
Before the storm of Thursday after
noon, Mr.. Haywood was standing in

HIS "GLITrERING" CAREER.
BarefOoted AsheviIIe Boy Rakes jill
Shcllels and Renown as High
Diver
Especial to News and observer


Asheville, N. c., Sept. 5.-From a
barefoot countr yboy, jingling in his
pockets a few nickels and dimes, to
gaudily-dressed high-diver at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition and
drawing a salary almost equal to that
paid the Vice-President of the United
States, is the story in q nutshell OF
Ivory Lovelace, of West AsheVille,
Buncombe county, aged seventeen
years, who last spring went to st.
Louis and accepted the job of diving
head-on from a "a foot elevation into
a three-foot pool of water, with the
air a somersault. For these stunts
IVorys employers contracted to pay
him $500 a month-rain or shine;
dive or no dive. And that is just the
amount of pay the boy is getting, SO
he says, in a letter to his brother re-
ceived last week Although Ivory is
satisfied with his condition in life, and
the untold wealth" that is constantly
flowing into his pockets, the boys
parents are not They are restless and
uneasy and momentarily expect TO
hear that an accident has happened;
that the divers descent was not sue
cessful, and that lying in a hospital in
the exposition city are the mangIed
remains of the Buncombe county boy.
SO worried nave the boy $ relatives
become that a brother of Ivory will
this week start for st. Louis with the
avowed intention of persuading the
young daredevil to forsake his peril
Gus calling and the easily-earned shek-
els and return TO the blue hills of Car
DINA and a more serious and less
dangerous calling.
Ivor yleaTned the art of high diving
at the lake of the AsheVlIe school in
West Asheville, and so proficient did
he become that the students of the
school looked upon the youngster
with something akin to jealousy. The
continued his performances and moth
ing in the shape of a dive seemed to
have any terror for him. He would
go off trees rocks and poles into the
water. turning somersaults backwards
and front and always coming up smil-
ing. Through the influence and efforts
of some of the Asheville school stu
dents, it is said, ivory was placed in
communication with the management
of one of the exposition attractions
with the result that the boy was taken
on probation and ultimately making
good" was employed at the hand

intends coming home or not, the alone,
perhaps knows, but it is hardly prob
able that he will willing give up a life
