shocked Sunday morning by the.
sad news of the death of our for
mer toWnsman Frank Enloe. He

was a native of Swain County, and
was born in Ocona Lufty Township,
where he grew up to be a young
man. He'Was then employed as
clerk in the D. K. Collins store at
Cherokee, where he worked for
several years. Finally he went in
to the mercantile business for him
self and in a short while he moved
to Whittier; and he remained in the
goods business until a few years
ago, when his health broke down
and he went out Of business. The
funeral service was conducted in
the Methodist church by Rev. Mr..
Hoyle of Asheville. The remains
were then turned over to the
Masons most of whom were from
Bryson City, who took charge and
conducted their burial services at
the cemetery. Besides wife and
several children. he leaves two bro
theirs and two sisters and many
friends to mourn his death. We
extend our heartfelt sympathy to
the b ereaved family. Whittier

One WAY TO BEAT WHISKEY.

One of the readers of the Eustis
Lake Region wrote the editor of
that paper as follows:
Editor Wood: To the married
man who cannot do without his
drink we suggest the following as a
solution to the habit:
Start a saloon in your own
house. Be the only customer. You
have no license to pay. Go to your
wife and give her $500 to buy a
gallon of whiskey and remember
member there's 50 drinks in one
gallon.
Buy your drinks from no one but
your wife, and by the time the first
gallon is she will have $685. to put
in the bank and $500 to start busi-
ness again.
Should you live ten yeas and
continue to buy booze frs3 her and
then die with snakes in your boots
she will have money enough to
bury you decently, educate your
children, buy house and lot, mar
ry decent man and stop thinking
about you. Franklin Press.

CHARGED With
BURNING Church,

AAoAA AAA0 0dAeIto NEWS July IA
One of the greatest upheavals in
the colored population of Asheville
occurred this morning when the
Buncombe county grand jury re-
turned true bills charging arson
against Bishop c. R. Harris of the
Western North Carolina conference
and one OF the leading churchmen
OF A. M. r. church in this state; w.
). Trent, one of the prime movers
IN the organization of the local Y.
M. l., who is now in Atlanta; Noah
Murrough, W. P, Pegram W. P.
Brooks, Elijah Mcdowell. DR.. J. W.
Walker, Parker johnson and Caleb
Martin. They are charged with bur-
ming the A. M. E. Zion church, Hop
klns chapel, on Mountain street
about four years ago.
Warrants were at once issued for
the men and all of the local men
arrested this morning, while war
rants were sent to Salisbury and
Atlanta for Bishop Harris and w.
j. Trent.
The arrests came as the result of
the work of Frank Jordan, deputy
state insurance commissioner. Mr.
Jordan has been devoting his time
to the case for the last six months
and with the assistance of local par
ties was able to work out enough
evidence to warrant the grand Jury
in returning true bills this morning.
1t is understood that the church
that burned was insured for $4,000
sometime prior to the fire; that the
city had conde mned it and that
later on the trustees of the church,
of which all the defendants, with
the exception of Bishop Harris, are
members took out additional insur
ance to the amount of $4,000, max
ing a total of $4,000 on the build
ing.
About so days after this, it is al
legged, the building burned, which
was about four years ago. A large
fish fry was held at the church one
night and later on during the night
it caught fire and burned. The re-
port current at the time was that
the building caught from the stove
used at the fry.
On the sight of the burned build
ing the trustees of the church have
erected a beautiful building that it
is estimated cost between $4,000
and $4,000.
The firms Of Glenn and Sales and
Fortune and Roberts have been en-
pIoyed by State Insurance Commits
sioner James r. Young to prosecute
the cases. Efforts will be made to
have the cases tried at this term
of court, if the defendants VIII are
out Of the city can be brought here
in time.

CAMP JACKSON.

Sylvia, N. c., July s, 1914.
Editor Chronicle-I arrived july
lst at the little town of Sylvia, N.
e., near which is located Camp
jackson,
Camp Jackson, feel, is an Au-
susta institution, instituted by the
Sanford boys, for the purpose of re-
creation. education and all kinds Of
athletic sports for the boys of the
country.
lhe camp is ideally located in
the mountains of North Carolina
and especial attention has been
paid to the sanitary arraneement.
Inc dinning-loom and kitchen are
screened thoroughly. A sanitary
fountain supplied from a mounta in
spring a half mile away is one of
the features. The spring which
serves as the source of this fountain
is cemented and protected in every
way from contamination. This
spring also supplies three shower
baths. Sanitary toilets are located
conveniently near. The tents
which house the boys ar spacious
electric lighted and have wooden
floors.
The camp has the use of one of
the finest baseball diamonds in the
state, and Camp jackson has al
ready scored one victory in this
sport, defeating the crack amateur
team of Sylvia s to 0. Philpot was
IN fine form, yielding only three
hits: On Saturday Camp ia ckson
and Camp Cherokee, the latter of
Bryson City, N. c., will play here.
Camp Cherokee has a fine team,
having several college players, one
OF whom will next year be captai n
of the University of Virginia base
ball team. A close and interest ing
game is expected.
There are four 45-minute periods
each day, except Saturday and Sun
day, lasting from 9 until IL o'clock
And the mountain air seems to be
inspiring the boys, for they are
very much interested in their wor
and pay close attention to their in
structOrs.
The weight Of all the boys were
accurately recorded, upon their ad-
mittance to the camp, and judging
by the quality and quantity of the
fried chicken consumed, these
weights will be materially increas-
ed by the time they leave camp.
Knowing that SO many Augusta
boys are up here, I feel that Angus
ia parents will be insterested to
hear of these things. I am sure
that any parents desiring to send
their boy to such camp could
not do better than to send them to
camp Jackson.
Very truly,

CHAPTER n.
The Kina Of Urania.

From the carcass of the deer. which
Paulo the huntsman had left outside
the cave, a haunch Of venison was now
presented to Hagar the witch. Paulo
then again shouldered the animal he
had slain for the nuptial supper and
bade Godiva follow him.
Come, my Godiva," he said, I'VE
will away from the cave of the witch
before she can fill your ears with more
of silly prattle of danger that besets
you in the person of the king"
Through the forest then they saun-
tered in their love and happiness, till
at last they reached the cottage of
Rivarre the shepherd. There Paulo
set this trophy of the chase on the
wide stone corridor Mistress Rivarre
came from the kitchen and Paulo fell
to skinning the deer.
"Ay! 'tis goodly Wand we shall have
at your wedding supper tonight" said
Mistress Rivarre. The which is due
to your skill, good Paulo, with the
crossbow"
Just then, too. Rivarre himself joined
the group, returning from his morn
ing visit to the keepers of his flock on
the plains.
Hail, Paulo," he called to his future
son-in-law. Welcome to the house of
Rivarre, even though this day you are
to filch my dearest possession. Yet
In all Urania ] know of none more
worthy of my Godiva. But hearkeni
What comes?"
The mother and daughter had al
ready disappeared within the cottage
to set to work in earnest on the prepa-
rations for the wedding supper, at
which many guests would gather. And
now toward the forest the eyes of
Rivarrs and Paulo travelled and this
is what they beheld; A cavalcade led
by one on a horse so richly capari-
soned and riding so far In advance of
the others as to bespeak exalted rank.
And behind the exalted one came
equerries and archers with crossbows
and courtiers and huntsmen and
menials, the latter carrying many a
carcass of deer slain in the hunt.
Through the picture, too, bolted pack
OF hounds, though just then the master
of the pack sounded his horn for re-
treat, and the hounds obediently
checked their boiling and came to bay.

OF need. should wish to change from
human form, it would be to reappear
as flower. some lovely flower"
The witch made more passes over
the steaming kettle. added few more

me to the holy friar at the monastery,
there to be joined to me as bone of my
bone, for evermore"
"Silence!" cackled the witch. "Paulo,
warn thee-beware of the kings
archers. And thou, look, Godiva,"
she cried. with the vehemence of a
madwoman. Look now, Godiva! See!
The brew discloses the face of the
king-King Leofric of Urania. 'Tis a
face most pleasing, lovely Godiva-yet

Godiva! The kings lips move in

forth through the cave entrance. Hear
