A section of the balcony in the new
Memorial Hall of he Woman's college
at Due West, fell last Friday night dur
ing the performance of play Queen
Esther" which was being given by
young ladies of the college. The acci-

being used for the first time, and the
balcony only being supported by chains
and filled with college girls, fell to the
floor below. 1t was only by act of
Providence that those beneath were
not instantly killed. Foy w. Dickson

been in the mill business for twenty
one years-thirteen Of them in Connec-
ton with the Blanton mills on Bushy
Creek. in North Carolina, and his new
venture which has involved an outlay
of about $4,000, all his own capital
embodies pretty nearly his ideas OF
what mill ought to be. 1t is his pur-
pose to grind all the local wheat he can
get and there is more of il to be had in
Shelby than down this way, and he will
also ship as much additional grain as
may be necessary to keep his plant
busy. The Eagle mill of Shelby, is
complete in all of its appointments
