WAR AS Her
ALIMONY PLEA

New York, Aug. 21.-"War has been
declared. 1t is absolutely necessary
for my son and myself to have money
Immediately to take us back to Amer
lea. We need a considerable sum.
France is under martial law and the
railroads are in the hands of the sold
iers."
Stranded in Paris, Mrs, Nina L. Dur
yea, wife of Chester B. Duryea, who
killed Gen. Hiram Duryea, his father,
in Brooklyn last May, has made an
appeal to the supreme court to aid her
and her son to get back to the United
States.
In an affidavit filed in court this
week, Mrs. Duryea said she must have
money, and to that end she suggests
that the court modify the decree OF
separation granted her in 1904, SO
that she vii receive alimony at the
rate of $4,70O year, instead of $40 a
week, as at present
Although Mrs. Duryea is a daughter
of Franklin w. Smith of Boston, and
as she says, "has occupied high place
in society and entertained several pres
idents of the United States and other
persons prominent in society, socially
and politically" she recently has been
dependent upon her brother for money,
1t appears from her affidavit that I'M
less the court grants her application
she and her son will be compelled to
remain indefinitely in Paris.
Chester Duryea was committed to
Matteawan State asylum, and Dr. Ray
mond c. Kieb, the superintendent, and
DR.. Carlos F. Macdonald have declared
him incurably insane Under the viii
of Gen. Duryea his estate, valued at
about 100000, was left to his three
children-Chester H., Harry H., and
Mrs. Millicent D. Anderson. The per-
sonal property yields an income Of
more than $4,000 a year to each o.
these.
After a married life of six years Mrs.
Duryea obtained a separation. The
court ordered MIR. Duryea to pay his
wife $50 a week alimony and to pay
SIS week for the support of his son,
whose custody was given to Mrs. Dur
yea.
Two years later Mr.. Duryea petit
toned the court for reduction of the
timony, saying that he was impover-
ished and could not afford to pay the
amount awarded. The alimony and al
lcwance for the son were reduced to
see and $40 a week, respectively.
Mrs. Duryea is now staying at the
Hotel Windsor. Her son has been a
pupil at the Anglo-Saxon school in
Paris. Mrs. Duryea said that it was
rer desire to educate her son as an
American citizen in the best schools
and colleges, and she thought she
could do this less extensively in Eu-
rope.
1t was the wish of Gen. Duryea, she
said, that his grandson be educated IN
this country, and he had agreed to pay
s1,250 year for this purpose. Mrs.
Duryea said that the general would
have paid this if he had lived.

A Wonderful Success.

When asked yesterday about the
outlook for the New Year Savings
Club, Mr.. Crowson, cashier of Home
Banking Company, stated that he
was enthusiastic over the interest
that has already been shown in the
proposition. Although the club does
not open until Saturday. January 2,
Mr.. Crowson states that more than
La hundred people have asked for
further information on the workings
of the plan and have voluntarily
agreed to join. There is no doubt the
proposition is going to be received
with hearty response by the clti-
zens and that 1915 is going to be
the greatest era of thrift and saving
in the history of this section.
Mr.. Crowson further states that
the Home Banking Company stands
ready at all times to help the man,
woman or child who shows dispo-
sition to help himself and that it
will be pleasure to answer any
questions and to explain any feature
of the club that may not be entirely
clear to the citizens.

What Other Towns Al
Doing.

Do you know that Raleigh, Win
ton, Greensboro and other towr
land cities of the State and Natio
are turning loose thousands of dollar
through the savings clubs of tn
banks?
Just think what it would mean t
High Point now to have $50, 5000
put into circulation!
Well, Home Banking Co. expect
to do this very thing next Christmas
In order to make this possible thi
enterprising bank is launching thu
New Year Saving Club and it is ur
to the good people of High Point Il
do the rest.
All we have got to do is to dc
what the other towns have done liz
1914 and will do ia 1915 and that is
SAVE SYSTEMATICALLY.
The plan is for you to join the
New Year Savings Club, which
opens Saturday, January ., 1915,
by deposit of one cent, two cents,
five cents. twenty five cents or fifty
cents. The next week if you join
the one cent club, your deposit
would be two cents cor if preferred
the five cent division, your deposit
would be ten cents, and SO. on. Sup
pose you join the two cent division
your opening deposit will be only
two cents, next four cents, following
week six cents and SO on for fifty
weeks, when you would have to
your credit, from pennies never
$3.50 The twenty-five
and fifty cent divisions call for that
every week, the former
for $3.50 and and the
latter for $500.
Perhaps the most attractive man.
ner, and doubtless the easiest, is to
begin at the big end cf the series of
say in the two cent divi-
sion begin with $1.OO the first week..
90 cents the next, 90 cents the next
week and so on down, the deposit
decreasing two cents until the last
deposit would be only two cents.
j. Do not hesitate to call at your
Home Bank and have any features
of this plan explained gladly. No
question WilEbe considered too small
and you canTest assured of courteous
at this bank, at all times.
1t is fine opportunity for High
Point to do something for itself and
it is not only matter for the individ
ual, but one in which every farmer,
manufacturer and, in fact,
every citizen of this town should
take vital interest. We are all in
seeing a lot of money put
into circulation just at the time of
year when it is most needed TO
strengthen business and add to the
comfort and happiness of the thrifty
people who have saved.
We trust that every man, woman
and child in High Point and vicinity.
will join this club to make 1915 the
greatest year for saving ever known
in the history of North Carolina.

British Admiralty says the German ships
were among their latest. They chose night
when thick mist prevailed and must have
left their base at least two hours before dark.
AS they started to return about 9 o'clock
there remained about seven hours OF day
light for the pursuit, which. however, was
rendered almost impossible by the fog. How
the Germans evaded all the mines and patrols
remains mystery, although experts recall
that in maneuvers British ships have per-
formed the same feat.

When Mother Brought the
Preacher Home to Tea.
(By w. H. Dugdale.)

My boyhood days down On the farm
b, Recall some memories dear,
When life to me was but dream,
No cares or ills to fear;
But still had my troubles,
And the saddest time for me
Was when mother from the meeting
Brought the preacher home to tea.
And when saw him coming
How well knew the rest;
/ had to wash my hands and face
And look my very best;
had to take his coat and hat,
Pull out the easy chair;
How ma would make me hustle,
But he didn't seem to care.
When ma came in the parlor
And the old lamps rays were dim,
With my sister at the organ
We all joined in a hymn;
But he says s'we'H sing another,''
Which sometimes we didn't know,
But he always sang Wen praise Him
From whom all blessings flow
When the singing was all over,
To mother he would say
We're enjoying many blessings
And we all knelt down to pray.
In the catalogue, and then
When his strength was all exhausted
He would say the last amen.
And then he'd read chapter
And comment on each line;
Oh how wished he'd finish,
But ma she thought it fine;
He would paint the finest picture
: OF home beyond the sky;
We would hear with fear and tremblin.
Where bad children go who die.
But father went and did the CHI ores
AS every farmer should;
He MIXED the cows and fed the horse
And then brought in the wood.
The evening was progressing
And he thought the supper late;
He sat down and said blessing,
All alone he sat and ale.
The preacher catechised me
About what j learned at school,
III knew the fen commandments
And could say the golden rule;
.If i knew the creed and gospels,
If mother obeyed;
If liked to go to meeting,
And if2every night prayed.
But father he had vanished
. And so had other things,
And mother thought the supper
Had surely taken wings;
The preacher stroked his whiskers
And mother looked awry;
AS for me and sister Annie,
We simply had to cry.
always thought that preacher
Had some spite against my pa;
He used to ask at Sunday school,
well, John, how's your mai
He never mentioned father,
For I think II gave him pain,
And know that mother never
Asked him home to tea again. Z.
