TEN TO TWENTY
YEARS FOR NEGRO
LEWIS TURNER CONVICTED OF
ATTEMPTING TO RAPE TWO
GIRLS.

Late Friday afternoon the jury re-
turned verdict of guilty in the case
of the state VS.. Lewis Turner, ne.
gro, who was accused of attempting
to rape two little daughters of Tom
Raglan, who lives about three miles
from the city upon the Mooresville
pike. The offense took place several
months ago.
The little girls were eleven and
twelve years old. They were put
upon the stand and testified that the
negro had made an attempt upon their
persons, but that their cries had
frightened him off.
The negro went upon the stand,
but his testimony was so conflicting
that the jury evidently placed little
confidence in it, as they returned a
verdict of from ten to twenty-one
years in the state penitentiary.

WASHINGTON, Nov 30.-The war
in Europe is proving a big boon to
postal savings banks in this country.
From the very day hostilities opened
across the seas postal savings re-
ceipts began to increase by leaps and
bounds and Withdrawals fell off, re-
suit quite contrary to the predictions
of we'll informed persons, who in their
imagination, saw lines Of feverish de-
positors at post office pay windows
anxious to again return their savings
to the bootleg and body-belt deposito-
rieS whence they came before in
trusted to Uncle Sam. But the fore
casters failed to reckon Of the abso-
lutte confidence Of the American citi-
Zen, regardless Of the flag that first
met his eyes, in the ability and pur-
pose of the government to carry out
its obligations, not only among the
nations of the earth, but with the
humblest citizen of our land.
Two important results have follow
ed; thousands of people, largely of
foreign birth, accustomed to send
their savings abroad, are now patrons
of our postal savings system; and
enormous sums of actual cash have
been released for commercial uses
among our own people at time when
the need of every available dollar is
pressing.
The growth of postal savings in the
United States has been steady and
healthy and the system has filled an
important gap between the tin-can de-
pository and the factory paymaster.
On July l, when affairs were running
smoothly here and abroad and the
transmission of money across the AT
lantic was safe and expeditions,
there was approximately $43,000,0Gv
of postal savings standing to the cred
of about 3SS,000 depositors. Since
then over $10,OO0,O00 of deposits have
been added and the number of depos-
itors has increased enormously. This
unprecedented gain is the more strik-
ing when it is considered that the net
gain in the past three months is larg-
er than the entire gain for the fiscal
year 1914. Scores of Offices have
done more postal savings business
since the war has been going on than
was done by them during the previous
existence of the service. The in
creases are confined to no special To-
calities, but have been felt in every
nook and corner of the country. New
York City alone made gain in Sep
TENDER of more than a million, while
Brooklyn showed relatively big in
crease. Chicago reported a larger
gain in the past three months than
for the previous twelve months. More
than 1000 new accounts were open
ed during the period, bringing the
of depositors in that city up
to over $1,000.

HIGH SCHOOL AND
CADETS BATTLE TO
A SCORElESS TIE
FIRST OF ANNUAL GAMES RE.
SUITED IN A DOGFALL BE.
! TWEEN THEM.
HIGH SCHuOL BEST GAMER
Forced Fighting Most of Way and
Kept Cadets on Defensive-Were
Twice in the Five Yard Line-Creen
Scored, But Called Back.
Fridays Daily.)

The High School-Cadet game at
Riverside Thursday afternoon was a
dogfall. However, if the whole story
were told, it would be about as the
little fellow up in Mayes Place said
when he was asked what was the le-
suit Of the game. 1t was 0 to 0 in
favor of High School.
The High School eleven, though
outweighed, and unable to score, fore
ed the fighting and had the edge on
the young soldiers. They kept the
ball in the cadets territory most Of
the time, and they rushed it within
the five yard line twice only to lose il
once on downs, and on the other oc-
casion upon tumble
The cadets lost a splendid chance
to win the game when Green ran thir-
ty-fiye yards for touchdown through
the High School team, but was call
ed back on account of holding in the
line. Instead of it's being allowed,
his team was penalized fifteen yards.
Both teams relied almost wholly
upon straight football. There was
very little fancy stuff attempted, only
one forward pass being used. There
was little but a constant hammering
of the line and end runs. Neither
team was able to get away with any
long runs, the most successful, as
well as the longest being sprint for
25 yards, which was made by Thomas,
the left end of the High School.
The game was a battle royal
throughout. There was never letup
in the fighting by either team, and
both fought, and then fought some
more. c. M. A. was on the defensive
the majority of the time, and when
the ball got in striking distance 70
their goal, they stiffened and threw
back the invaders.
The best ground gamer of the High
School was Roberts, the plunging full
back, while Green was the offensive
star of the cadets.
