CONCERT TONIGHT
First Of The Season To Be
Given East Of Hotel
Latham.

At last we're able to make definite
announcement of series of open air
concerts by the Third Regiment
Band. The first will be given to-
night on the vacant lot East of Hotel
Latham, which is now the property
of Councilman John j. Metcalfe.
Here are three parties that are
worthy the thanks of all: First, Mr..
Metcalfe has donated the use of the
ground. Second. Mr.. Blake, local
manager of the Public Service Co..
has agree to put up the wires and
furnish the electric lights for the
season free of charge. Third. the
city fathers have agreed to erect
grand stand for the band-and they
will have it ready for tonight, too.
For the liberality of the three they
have the gratitude Of everybody in
contributing to the pleasure Of the
people generally and giving them a
chance for a great musical treat.
But there is somebody else to be
remembered while we are bowling
with barred heads. First Mr.. Leb-
kuecher and his musicians. Second
Mr.. Lebkuecher and the people who
worked so hard with him in securing
what was necessary to furnish the
people with entertainment out in
the open. where care is dispelled
and perplexity is forgotten for a
season.
Here's TO ali Of theml may they
live long and prosper.
Director Lebkuecher says the con-
cert will begin about 8 o'clock.

secret society hall at Pee Dee. this
county, Monroe Wallace, colored, is
now in Jail awaiting his examining
trial before County Judge Knight.
The case will probably be called next
Wednesday.
Our informant furnishes US with
the following account of the burn
ing Of the hall and the incidents
leading up to the arrest of the ac-
cused and his commitment to the
county Jail. He says that Wal ace is
a member of and a deacon of a COL
ored church at that place. Not long
since the secret order of which he
was Wiso a member, held a meeting
and Tor some unknown cause, ex-
PEELED him from the order.
The members of the order or
other parties held a festival. there
and NlAllase. contrary to law. sold
soft drinks to the participants in the
festival. He was told that he was
violating the law, but said he was
going to sell anyway. Constable
Thomas Winfree, Of this city. was
notified of Wallace's action and he
went down and arrested him and put
him under a $50 bond to appear be-
fore the County Judge. He failed
to appear for trial and his friends
paid the amount of the bond.
saturday night between twelve
and one o'clock the hall burned 10
the ground. Suspicion attaching to
Wallace. Mr.. Winfree and others
got in communication with the Stout
Detective Agency, at Nashville, and
the agency sent man with blood
hounds to Pee Dee. The hounds,
after shifting a ladder which had
been used by the one who set fire to
the burned building, struck a trail
and followed it over wire fences and
through corn and tobacco fields,
bringing them up at the back door
of Wallace's house. When they
reached the door they jumped up on
the door aud yeped until Constable
Winfree called Wallace from the
house and arrested him and brought
him to town in an automobile and
put him in Jail.

Opened Yesterday and Will
Continue Until Friday
Afternoon.
ALL TEACHERS MUST ATTEND.
M. A. Cassidy, OF Lexington,
Procured As Instructor
For Sessions.

The Christian County Teachers
Institute convened in the Circuit
Court room yesterday morning, with
Miss Jennie West. superintendent of
county schools. in charge. The ses-
sions will continue until Friday af-
ternoon.
The attendance at the opening
session was necessarily small. as
some Of the teachers live Is or 10
miles from the city and could not
get here in time to answer at roll
call, but at the afternoon session the
attendance was largely increased.
There are about 100 teachers in
the county and. though some of the
former teachers will be off the list
this year. the total attendance will
be fully 100. The Law requires that
every teacher holding County. State
or Normal certificates are required
to attend all the sessions Of the T.
stitute.
Miss Jennie West. who is superin-
tending the institute, is being most
ably assisted by Misses Elizabeth
Rascoe and Elizabeth Henry. Of the
County Board Of Education.
Among those from q distance are:
Mrs. Chas. P. Weaver. Of Louis
vile. President of the School Inn
provement League.
Mr.. w. S. Taylor. of Lexington,
who is Government officer and
holds his appointment from the De-
partmenr OF Agriculture as Superin-
tendenr of the us Corn Club.
Miss Iva Scott. Of Bowling Green.
Principal of the Department of Do
nestle Science in the Western Ken
lucky Normal School
MIR. 4. }. Coates. of Frankfort,

Among the most attractive fea-
lures of the Institute will be the
school exhibitions of manual train.

school work.

Thursday Night.

Thursday night is the time chosen
for the public lecture by the Instruc-
tor, Mr.. NJ. A. Cassidy. Everybody
is most cordially invited to hear this
lecture and all will be well repaid.
Mr.. Cassidy is superintendent of
the city schools of Lexington. He
is at the head of one of the finest
systems of public schools in the
State and is intimately acquainted
with every phase of school work.
Besides he is intensely practical and
is withal most fluent and entertain
ing speaker.
The other visitors who are to adj
dress the institute during its
sessions had not. yesterday morning.
been assigned certain day and hour
for their lectures. owing to the fact
that Miss West had not been able to
carry out some Of her plans up to
the day before the assembling Of the
institute. For this reason she had
not been able to perfectly arrange
and print q program for the insti-
tute.
This institute will no doubt be one
Of the most interesting as well as in
structive ones ever held. While
public education has taken such i'm
mense strides in the past ten years
in Kentucky. it is most significant
fact that the teachers are far better
qualified than ever before to impart
knowledge to those who have been
entrusted to them, and nothing has
been near 80 conducive to this as
county institutes. which have absorb
ed the idea that no one can impart
knowledge to the young unless be
possesses that knowledge himself
Everybody is invited to attend all
the sessions Of the Institute.

marllable feat of endurance has been
performed by Mrs, Clarence E. Eddy.

ley on foot. Mrs. Eddy will not re-
peat the experiment, however, for she
almost died.
Mr. Eddy, in his search for riches,
has crossed Death Valley twenty
times in five years and each time he
has declared that he would never do
It again. on the last journey he took
samples of ore from a ledge, and the
assays of this determined him to go
back and locate a claim and get more
samples on which To work Mrs. Ed
dy decided that she must see the val

could look over 100 miles of desert
and camped that night In a deserted
cabin well down toward Death Valley.
The heat was oppressive, as the farm
is 200 feet below sea level and all
around IL the country is dry.
After leaving the farm Mrs. Eddy
began to show signs Of fatigue, and
when that night they reached a wa
ter hole In the desert she fairly fell
into It. on this day they had crossed
Salt river, ESQ feet below sea level.
The next two days almost brought
disaster. for on their arrival at wa
ter hole seventy miles from their
starting place they found the water
polluted, and were unable to take
more than enough to quench their
raging thirst Lacking water they
went on the next day and Mrs. Eddy
had given up and her husband was
seriously considering shooting both
before they should go mad, when they
came upon some miners and were
furnished with what they needed. Az
ter finding and sampling the ledge
they made their way out of the oth-
er side of the panamint mountains
and went to Los Angeles.

ships OF the Journey, remarked'

We are hoping for still better thlnss
Monday and Tuesday. We have made
a good record. and have sold enouSh
seals 10 help US very materially IN our
work. but we are anxious That the puo-
lie appreciate fully the work We are
doing.
The sale Of seals is not a senti-

needs Every dollar raised from the
sale. above the actual expenses OF
printing, goes 10 tuberculosis work
There is not one dollar of commissions

I'VE are confident that the nature
Of this charity has appealed 10 the
people. and We hope every Chratinas
present and every Christmas letter will
carry the Red Cross seals There Is
no limit 20 the number OF seals that
can be put on a letter. provided they
are ell placed on the back We hope
that late Christmas shoppers Will IN
clude in their purchases at least one
sheet of seals. and will thereby make
q contribution TO charity that brings
good cheer every day in the year TO
the consumptives of the State.
