opening it begun. Mrs, Saqui saw
that it was to be a tobacco store and
was greatly worried. In another day
she saw that frightful red borders
going up on the show windows, and
she knew war had been declared by
the American Tobacco company with
it's $1S0,000,000.
Undaunted Mrs Saqui entered the
fight. To her customers she explained
the opening of the new store and
told of the offers and threats the trust
had made to get possession of her
place. The customers spread the
news quickly. Within two weeks the
trust store was opened, with standard
goods ticketed at numerous prices,
but the customers ignoring theN bait
of the trust, made purchases at Mrs.
Saqui's store.
Within a month Mrs. Saqui's bus
mess had doubled. Not only did her
old customers stand by her in her days
of trial, but they brought new custo-
mers. Men who had been buying to-
bacco and cigars down town stopped
and bought their days suIE(S' rn
the morning.
The trust undertook to refuse to
sell its goods to Mrs. Saqut' who
then stopped buying the trust made
goods
Men VINO ndu Deen smoking GER
tain brands of cigars, tobacco and
cigarettes for years stopped them
when they found why Mrs. Saqui had
quit handling the trust goods and be-
gan smoking the kind she sold.
Mrs. Saqui lives just around the
corner from her store at No 1920
Third avenue, and on last Saturday
Burglars entered her apartment and
stole dresses. furs, silver and jewelry
valued at $500. The

apartment had been again been enter
tered. 1t had been ransacked as be-
fore, but the burglars, instead of TAX
ing anything, had returned valuable
set of furs. together with some silver

ing at the Whitehead-Stoke Sana'
torium where the lad was carried for
an operation yesterday afternoon. II
was realized from the first that Faul-
conners wound, made by a bullet
passing entirely through his body just
below the heart, would prove fatal,
and the operation disclosed the GER
tainty of his death. At late houl
last night a magistrate took an ante
norton statement from the dying boy
i'm which he stated that he did not
want his slayer punished, that he be-
lieVed the shooting was accidental,
but stated that Mccormick hao

coming out from his place of refuge
he had received the bullet in his chest,
though he believed it was fired

a hearing here last night and bound

thrown by one of his sons from the
yard in which an amateur game was
in progress, struck the blade which cut
deep cash in Mr. Morris face from
which he came near bleeding to death.
Such precautionary measures as were
available were promptly used. and the
injured man is now reported out OF
danger.
At a meeting of the Rowan County
Board of Education held this week,
steps were taken to increase the sal
