Preacher and Socialist Clash.

Rev. j. A. Hoyle, Baptist pas
tor at Gastonia, is Of the militant
clergy. Sunday morning, G. W.
Lamance, a Socialist, was distrib-
uting socialists literature in Cas-
tonia, and il passing Mr.. Hoyle's
residence offered the minister
some literature. The minister
refused it. telling Lamance that
he didn't want to read the papers
and didn't want them left at his
house. Lamance stopped to ar
que, and in the course of his talk
intimated more or less directly
that the preachers viracity was
questionable. Then the preacher
passed the socialist one with his
fist. Thu mayor who heard the
case decided that the blow was
justifiable, discharged Mr.. Hoyie
and fined Lamance SIS and costs.
Lsmace refused to pay the fine
and was sent to the chain gang
for 10 days.-Gastonia Gazette.

Murder Still a Mystery.

The murder of John Morris is
just as much of a mystery today
as is was on Saturday morning,
July 18th, when he was murdered
in his bed in his home in Sandy
Ridge township. The people in
the community in which the MUIR
der was committed have done
everything possible to get some
clue, but all to no purpose.
There is suspicion, that and moth
ing more Last Monday there
was an all day investigation be.
fore a committee of Sandy Ridge
township citizens. R. B. Red
wine, of the Monroe bar, was em.
ployed to assist in the investiga.
ton which was purely a private
one. Nothing new was brought
out and no clue whatever found.

Preparations for Dixon's New Play.

The costuming of any play al
ways requires much care and
thought and in some cases when
the scenes r laid in the far past
weeks of research must sometimes
ba made before absolute accuracy
is attained in design, cloth and
colorlngs. The t~heatre-goer who
has not made a study of this sub
ject would naturally suppose,
however, that for a play like "The
Traitor" by Charming Pollock and
Thomas Dixon. -Jr., it would be
comparatively ersy to provide the
proper costumes. This is not the
case. Often it is more difficult to
correctly garb characters who
lived Ill 1872, the period of this
play, than those who lived hun
dreds of years ago. In the case
of ancient costumes they are made
new from old plates and drawings.
In this case it is necessary to hunt
up clothing that was actually
used during the period ST the play
for the simple reason that newly
tailored clothing would look too
new. Of course the gowns worn
by tn eladies are made new but
the garments worn by the men
are more effective if they are the
old garments actually worn in the
period in which the scenes of the
play was LAID. Another difficulty
is to get the proper costumes for
the actors who play the roles of
negroes. As q rule the stage negro
is rarely V g dressed like a real
colorod man. If anyone doubts
the difficulty of finding out about
the costumes CT even 1872 ask
some old gentleman about the
styles of that period. AS a matter
of fact it is much easier to ascer-
tain the details of q Revolutionary
costume. The rehearsals of "The
Traitor" will begin III August and
will continue for eight weeks be-
fore the opening at Norfolk, Vir-
ginia, as Mr.. Brennan attributes
much of the success of 1.-THE
Clansman,"t 1.-THE predecessor of this
play, to the long and careful prep
eration which it received. -How-

How to Tell a Mad Dog.

Hydrophobia is in reality 50
rare and 80 terrifying that its
symptoms and treatment are
little understood. AS a matter Of
fact, the commonly accepted ex-
preston of madness in a dog is
often misleading, The real mad
dog does not shun water, as it is
said. On the contrary, mad dogs
often rush to the water and drink
eagerly, If they arc able to swal-
low. The mad dog does froth at
the mouth. 1t does not run
amuck, swapping at everything i'll
its path. What, then, are the in
dications Of the mad dag? To
those familiar with a given dog
the surest symptom and the one
which should excite closet atten-
ton is a distinct aud unaccount-
able change in the dogs DISPOSE
tion-a staid dog becoming excit-
able and a frisky one dull. That
condition does not necessarily
mean rabies. but it is suspicious,
and if, in addition, the dog has
trouble in swallowing--as though 1t
seemed to have a bone in it's throat
beware! That dog should be in
