CAMPING TRIP

Charlotte, Aug. 31-Arno1d Prim,
the 16-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs..
A. Prim, of Seversville, western sub
urb of Charlotte, was shot and killed
today between IL and 1 O'Clock, by
Jack Gregory, also 16, the Prim boy
being shot in the head, the ball p1erc-
ing the eye and lodging in the brain.
Death resulted in 10 or Is minutes.
The boys were members of a camping
party at the river. The Prim boy had
walked some distance up the river
from the camp and was returning,
coming in the direction OF the tent
which he and Gregory occupied.
Gregory was in tn tent engaged in
rifle practice through the front open
ing of the tent, the target being tree
some yards distant down the river.
He was alone and there was no one
in sight He had fired several times.
The river bank is sandy and the ap-
proach of any one cannot be heard.
The Prim boy ran along the river
bank and between the tent and young
GregOryS target just IN time 10 get
the last bullet fired by Gregory. The
ball struck him in the eye.
Death was practically instantane-
Gus as he was unconscious from the

YEGGs GET $500 IN
PosTOFFIcE HAUL
Ellington Safe Blown and $500 In
Stamps and $1O0 in Cash
Is Stolen.

Ellington, Aug. 31.-Yeggmen paid
a visit to the postofice here last night,
blew open the safe and got away with
about $500 worth of stamps and about
$10O in money. That safe-crackers
had been around was evident to Post
master J. e. Ligon the moment he
opened the Office this morning, for
portions of the iron safe were scat
tered in different parts of the build
ing, stamp drawers were wide open
and the whole place gave evidence
that it had been ransacked. The safe
was literally shattered.
Several Ellington people heard the
explosion, all agreeing that it took
place between one and two o'clock
this morning. But they took no spec
on at the gravel pits near here AMI a
dynamite explosion is nothing out of
the ordinary.
The faint clue which may develop
in the finding of the parties who
cracked the safe lies in the fact that
an automobile containing two men
passed Kipling, the first station north
of Ellington, last night at nine o'clock
going towards Ellington. A car which
| seemed to be the same one was met
between KipIing and Lillinton at four
o'clock this morning going towards
| Kipling. The man who saw the car
this morning says that when it was
some distance from him it stopped and
one of it's two occupants got out and
extinguished the lights. The car, he
said, then shot by him and after it had
gone a little distance stopped, pre-
sumably to light up again, and then
proceeded.

GROVE PARK Inn
Finest Resort Hotel in the World
Amid Mountain Surroundings
That Are Inspiring and
Invigorating.

1t is on such hot days as these,
with the depressing heat rendered
more discomforting by the humid
ity of the oppressive atmosphere,
that one who has ever experienced
the cool, invigorating air Of the
mountains, longs to be in the
midst of their enhancing environ
ment and realize the upli1t and
the joy that come with breathing
the rarifed air there afforded and
the enhancing spiritual frenzy
that their towering peaks and
hazy vistas engender.
And of all the mountain resorts
the world over Grove Park Inn,
on Sunset Mountain, on the west
ern suburb of Asheville, in our
own "Land of the Sky" is unap-
proachably delightful, and in a
class all it's own.
Here all who are physically
weary or enervated from brain
fag can come in touch with the
psychology of nature and know
again their wonted vigor of body
and mind, and face life anew with
strengthened purpose and revived
hope. 4

ATROC|OUs CRIME ST|RS
COUNTY OF ALLEGHANY

Charlotte, Aug. 31.-Account of one
of the most atrocious crimes ever
committed in Allegheny, one of the
border counties, has just reached
here. "Aunt Mary" Lawson, a white
woman 80 years of age, disappeared
from her home several days ago and
her body, badly decomposed and her
throat cut, was found Saturday hidden
away under some hay in an old un-
used house, about two miles from her
home.
bloody knife, identified as the
property of Jeter Joiner, a negro, was
found near the body. Joiner was ar
rested and placed in the jail at Sparta
pending full investigation by the au-
thorities. He maintains his inno-
cence.
On account of the condition of the
body it could not be shown that the
old lady had been assaulted, but this
crime is alleged and then murder com.
mitted to cover it up.

BERLIN HINTS FATAL
U-BOA MAY Be LOST

Berlin, Aug. The German ad-
miralty today advanced the suggestion
that the submarine which may have
torpedoed the steamer Arabic possibly
had foundered n been sunk by the
British. A higE admiralty official de-
clared no official news on the sinking
of the Arabic Eas as yet available.
He added:
s'Would it not be lamentable if the
submarine should have been lost and
we should never learn what happen
ed? Soon after the Arabic sank I
said we should in all probability have
the details by the end of August, or
early in September at least. Most OF
our boats which were on the west
coast of England at the time have re-
turned, but more so far knows any
thing about the Arabic.
''It probably will be possible within
very short tinae-I cannot say pre-
cisely how many days-to tell wheth-
er our apprehensions regarding the
submarine are correct
The official would not say whether
one or more OF the submarines in
question still were out, nor how long
any one vessel had been away from
it's base, but stated suggestively:
s'They seldom remain out longer
than three weeks, and we usually get
report on any torpedoing operations
in from eight to fourteen days. Rare
ly later than a fortnight after the oc-
currence''
