DIXON, ALLEGED HAZER,
DISMISSED FROM COLLEGE

Report reached the city yesterday
that l.. P. Dixon, of Siler City, the
Wake Forest College student whom it
is alleged was shot several weeks ago
by a freshman from Surry county
named Hanes, has been dismissed
from the college. This action was
recommended by the senate composed
of representatives of the student body
of the college and approved by the
faculty.
Dixon was not seriously wounded
and had returned to the college but
had not registered. He was preparing
himself to take the law examination
before the North Carolina Supreme
Court in February.
Hanes, the young freshman whom
it is alleged shot Dixon, was publicly
reprimanded but allowed to continue
his studies at the college.
The above is an outgrowth of an
alleged hazing episode which occurred
just before the Christmas holidays in
which it is charged that young Hanes
was about to be hazed and fired a
pistol striking Dixon. The reprimand
to Hanes is not understood to be
for his alleged proficiency in the use
of a but for carrying a pistol
on the grounds of the institution,
which is contrary to the laws govern
ing the institution.

And then very probably thinking of
the recent hazing episode, he said that
he doubted if there was a single pis-
toll in college back in those days. The
idea OF annoying any one to such an

Especial % The News and Observer

Durham, Jan. 16.-'The directors
or the Merchants Association OF
Nortn Carolina have zone on record
as favoring amending the constitution
OF North Carolina through the agency
OF a constitutional convention called
loF that special purpose said Presi-
dent Luther b. Markham this morn
ing.
Ihe directors of the association
were IN session till the early hours of
TINS morning, and passed on a num-
Der OF matters OF Importance to the
merchants Of the State. The resolu-
tlon about the constitutional
ton came about as a result of the
discussion about asking the Legisla-
ture to submit an issue calling for an
amendment to the homestead laws Of
the State. The merchants claim
tina that part of the constitution was
put IN soon after the civil war, when
1t was badly needed to prevent the
people Of North Carolina being cheat
ed out Of their houses and homes. AT
the present time the law is being used
to defraud the merchants and other
people of the State.
Other Amendments Needed.
The directors of the Merchants
ASSOCIATION believe that there are a
number Of other amendments which
should be made to the constitution.
but think the fate of the constitu-
llOAdI dIilCI1uIi1cIltS III Tie NONel1lDeT
elections, indicates that there will be
little chance of getting these changes
made through such q method. It is
almost impossible to get the people
of the State informed about the ne
cessary changes.
The directors have also ordered that
the assistant secretary be employed
to devote her whole time to the work
Of the State association. At the pres
ent time Miss Maye Stephenson is
working for the State association and
for the local association. The work
of the State association has now
reached that point where it is neces-
sary for someone to devote more
time to the WOrk. It is the desire
Of the present administration to in
crease the number of local assoCia
tons in the State, and to get new
members. President Markham hopes
to work up local associations in al
sections of North Carolina before the
4 end Of his administration.
In order to do this it will be neces
Sary for someone to go into the differ
ent sections Of North Carolina anC
e work up interest in the organization.
0 No land In Politics..
The association directors also re
fused to endorse the Presidents pol
icy of the purchase of a merchant ma
rine. They were not so much oppose,
to it as they were opposed to the ide;
O of the association taking a hand il
s this proposition, which they though
was purely a political question. Tn
d directors also failed to endorse tn
e Stephens bill, now pending, Whicl
provided that a manufacturer coul
standardize his goods, and have Their
retailed at a fixed price. Changin
this price would be treated as a mis-
e demeanOr.
- The directors heard the report c
the secretary for the past year an
found the association in the very fin
est shape.

Slim Attendance at Sale.

There was a slim attendance at
the public sale at the Glenn Hayes
farm on Saturday. and bidding was
not lively. Mr.. Hayes put up lot
of good articles, but apparently the
buying crowd was no; on hand and
but few articles could be worked
off by auctioneer Miller. 1t was eX-
pected that number of horses would
change hands, but no sales of stock
were made at all and after several at
tempts were made to dispose OF diff
ferent animals, the sale was called
off. About thirty people attended
the sale.

The Art of Resting.

To rest seems quite simple,
There are plenty of people who
do not have to learn how at all,
to whom resting comes with a fine
natural grace, as do the arts of
eating and sleeping. These peo-
pie are not all idlers, either, says
an exchange. Perhaps the great
est workers of the world, at any
rate, those who accomplish most,
are the men and women who can
relax completely, even in the
midst of vast affairs; who keep
in their hearts an unwrinkled
corner of serenity; who can
snatch a moments sleep between
two great decisions. come out of
it refreshed. and make their de-
cisions right.
But to many of us hurrying,
hustling, nervous Americansrest-
ing is one of the lost arts. We
rush from work to so-calle6 re-
creation back to work again. We
say that mere change rests us.
So it would, if we took it in the
right spirit; but there is no rest
when the eye is on the clock, no
rest when the hsurs and the days
are too short for the things we
undertake to do in them.
Then, for some of us, comes
the Imperative order; you must
rest-and to our horror, we find
that we do not know how. We
try long hours of external quiet,
long black nights when the quiet
is only external. We try change
of air and change of scene. But
in spite of external quiet and ex-
ternal variety, the thoughts keep
tapping patter, patter, patter-
on the tired brain like raindrops
beating on a roof. 1t takes
perhaps years, of vast
ed life to teach us the lesson that
at the proper time we might have
learned so easily.
For rest is a spiritual grace, an
art that can be acquired in early
years and practiced with untold
benefit. Teach it to your chill
dren and begin to learn it your
self, even now-the art of being
absolutely relaxed and quiet,
even if only for a little while.
No matter how work presses, no
matter how life whirls about you,
teach yourself to become for a
few moments every day as pass
i've as the white clouds or the
green fields or the tranquil stars.
So will you put new strength
into your work that will make
every stroke and stitch of it more
lasting and more beautiful.

"They Say"

Of all the cowardly and diabo-
llcal receptions in the language
they say" is VIGOROUSLY the
first. It is the catapult of the
slauderer. Some liar mali9ns his
neighbor and as he feels sand fears
that he will stand alone. he re-
sorts to the base trick of pluraliz-
ing vicious self, and so he outs
with they say" They" is Of
ten only one. and of more than
one it is because the wish of the
liar is father to his thought; he
desires the multitude. in order
to lose himself therein and thus
escape the pernicious conse-
quences of defamation. It is the
old trick of the cuttlefsh that
muddies the whole stream so that
his own ugliness will not be not
ed.
No man of honor gives "they
say" He gives his proper auth
ority, if needs be, and does not
hedge behind the indefinite. No
court of justice will waste it's
time hearing or discussing here
say. Truth dlDdps deals in direct
ness. The sneak it is who sad
dies upon the public what his
own coarse, crude and malicious
mind conjured. Oh. the misery
of it all! The murderer of char
acter considers that he is adding
a cubit to his own Importance in
subtracting from the name of his
fellow forgetful that dead qualit-
les no more than will dead flesh
graft. "They say" is a wretch
ed contrivance, marked with ig-
norance most gross and sin so
foul and foolish that it we'll nigh
touches infantry.

The Storm.

The third tropical storm that has
come out of the gulf in the past month
reached this section Wednesday night,
the gusts of wind probably reaching a
velocity of 40 miles an hour, no great
damage being done except to the cot
ton crop.
In town the electric light and tele-
phone company were given some trou-
BILE by limbs from trees falling across
their lines. The rain came in sheets
and being driven by the wind there
were very few roofs that did not leak.
Weather Clerk Carleton reported
nearly four and half inches of rain
Thursday morning and it did not really
commence to rain until near midnight.
Except to those who had hay to gath
err and cotton to pick, especially the
latter, the rain was more than well
come, as drouth of two months, dur
ing which time hardly enough rain fell
to measure, was broken.
This section had escaped the other
two storms, the first just touching the
gulf coast and entered Texas with
Galveston as the center. 1t crossed the
Mississippi above St. Louis, and much
damage was done all through the Cen
trail West and Eastern States before it
entered the Atlantic. The other storm
which was not so severe, went through
Georgia and the Carolinias into the At
lantic, but no damage was done to the
crops as far East as Montgomery. Ala.
The greatest damage by the storm
this week was at New Orleans, where
the wind reached its highest velocity
at o'clock Wednesday afternoon when
Sc miles an hour was reached.

Health Rules.

Here are a few health rules
taken from the Medical Review:
A Gle N and cheerful house
makes happy home.
Frugality and sobriety form the
best elixir for longevity.
Cleanliness prevents rust the
best cared for machines last the
longest and do the best work.
Enough sleep repairs waste and
strengthens too much sleep
softens and enfeebles.
Cheerfulness makes love of
life pure air and sunshine are
indispensable to health.
By distractions and amuse-
ments, the mind is refreshed and
invigorated. but abuse of them
leads to dissipation.
To be seriously dressed is to
give freedom to ones movements
and sufficient warmth to protect
against sudden changes of tenn
perature.

Attention! Automobile Owners.

My attention has been called to the
failure of many owners of automobiles
to observe the law in regard to tags on
their machines. The law is very plain
lone tag shall be fastened immova-
bly, 18-inches or more above the ground
at the front of the vehicle, with the
number in an upright visible position
so that it will be plainly legible at all
times; the other tag shall be fastened
likewise at the rear of the vehicle un-
der the rear light so that the number
shall be plainly legihle at night even at
a distance of 60 feet" There are no
exceptions to these requirements, and
violation of the law is punishable
with a fine of not less than $1,000 and
not more than $4,000.
If any one has lost his tags and will
make a sworn application to me | will
secure him duplicates from the State
Auditor at small cost.
This law must be observed or suffer
the consequences of violations.

this opportunity to tell how much we
loved this generous man.
had known lobe when he was a
young man, just starting out in life,
and had known him afterwards when
we use to meet and have those precious
meeting at New Bethel, where he and
his brother John gave their hearts to
God, long years ago.
My good wife was organist of this
little church, and she had no better
friends than John and lobe Cunning
ham. How we used to love to meet at
this dear old church and worship God,
and these gatherings together bound
this neighhorhood to each other in

cancelled. Only two men out of the
goodly number that used is worship at
this dear church some twenty-five years
ago are left now, Mr.. J. @. Poindexter
and Billy Dowdle.
After the services were concluded,
kind friends bore his body out to the
old grave yard, where so many of his
dear ones and friends are buried and
consigned all that was mortal of this
generous man to the dust, and his spir-
it to the God who gave it. After the
grave was filled, his lady friends cover
