Anlnnnhnlin

The funeral services Of the late Mrs.
James NJ Warren, who died a few
minutes before two o'clock Sunday
morning, We're held in the after

church.
Mrs. Warren, who was about SO
years of age had been sick and con-
fined to her home for fourteen years
She was a patient and long suffereing
Christian, and oftimes of late she has
said to friends who called that she
feared for her reason and feared that
she might lose this and end her life
without knowing what she did. She
suffered from a ValVular trouble of
the heart, and it was while in state
of melancholia on Fri lay afternoon,
she cut her throat with a razor.
Taken to Rex Hospital she was CIV
en- every attention and on Saturday
afternoon and even late into Saturday
night the nurse at the Hospital an
swered inquiries with the statement
that Mrs. Warren was improving.
This proved erroneous however and
at fifteen minutes to two o'clock on
Sunday morning she passed away.
The funeral was held at $3.50 Sun
day afternoon from the Baptist Tab
ernacle church and was conducted by
Rev. j. c. Massee. There were many
friends present and on the casket We're
some lovely floral rememberances.

ANOTHER PHASE OF

Southern Officials Unprcpared for

High Point, n. c.. Aug. An inn
l'ortant conference was held here this
morning at the Manufacturers Club in
the matter CT the car famine which
has agitated High Point furniture
manufacturers for some days. Those
present were Messrs. Mcneil, Bed

Brown, of the Corporation Commits
sion, Traffic Manager Green and d.
vision Freight Agent Shaw, of the
Southern Railway; S. O. Schaub, agent
of the Southern Railway, ana practi-
cally all the manufacturers of the
city. The complaint of the latter was
duly laid before Traffic Manager
Green, who soon realized that he had
a bigger proposition on his hands than
he had anticipated. A general discus
sion of the conditions and steps to be
taken to remedy the same was soon
under way. number of knotty ques>

company was unable to protide tn:

diately for Washington for further
conferences and a definite rcport is
promised from him tomorrow. In the
meantime orders are comm in thick

with goods already packed and custo-
ners in almost every State in the I'm
ION are clanloring for their goods.
1t is amazing that a modern and
progressive railway system would al
low such a predictment to overtake
them. Their officials are courteous
apparently legretful of the present
conditions. The great trouble is that
they have not yet fully realized that
High Point is no longer a Wayside sta
ton but has become an eVer"eXpand

largest furniture market in the world
The manufacturers here are standing
as one man in this serious situation
and are determined to have relief.
They will also have an eye open for
the future, for every man Woman
and child in High Point confidently
expects this city eventually to become
the first of all furniture cities in this
country.

The Tuna IL the Most Graceful Of the
Jumpers of the Sea.
Many Of the Inhabitants of the sea
are good Jumpers and some have be
como famous. Among them should be
mentioned the tarpon or silver. king, 6
huge fish with scales that CLEAN like
silver, which constitutes the famous
game fish Of Florida. The leaps Of this
beautiful creature are often astonish
ing. Several years ago steamer was
rushing down the st. Johns river. The
captain was sitting on the fore deck
leaning against the pilot house, wher
suddenly there rose in the air beauti
ful shining fish four feet In length. n
came on like an arrow and landed IL
the lap Of the captain as neatly as
though It had been placed there.
In the Pacific waters the tuna, an
ally Of the horse mackerel, is noted
for Its leaps. Sometimes q schoo
sweeps UP the coast and the powerful
fish, often weighing 800 pounds, are
seen In the air in every direction. They
are like an arrow, turn gracefully five
or six feet in the air and come down
keeping the water for acres in foam
and II not the greatest jumpers they
are certainly the most graceful of the
leapers Of the sea.
