Charlotte Man Killed by Autos

Charlotte 0hserver.
Confused by the glare of strong
automobile headlights, Lockey
Allen, 42-year-old mail carrier
residing at 803 Louis avenue,
rode bicycle between two ma
chimes going in opposite direc-
tions, on East Seventh street,
near the corner of Myers, Satur-
day afternoon at $50 o'clock,
and was crushed to death. The
cars were driven by w. w. Ber.
geron, furniture dealer, residing
on the corner of Fox street and
Park Drive, and A. ]. Dunn of
the Dunn Decorating Company.
Allen. who carries the mail
through the First Ward, was on
his way home at the time of the
accident. According to reports
at police headquarters he had
just turned from Myers street in
TO East Seventh at the time of
the accident.
Bergeron, driving a Hupmo.
bile was going out East Seventh
street in the direction of Eliza.
beth. The machine driven by
Dunn was coming toward town.
Just as the two cars came almost
abrest, Allen is reported to have
turned out into the middle of the
street. He was caught between
the two in a way in which ii was
impossible for him to extricats
himself. I

X. w. Lemmond Dreams a Bic
Dream

Monroe Journal
Napolean SAYS imagination
rules the world, but to hear Hon.
Rube Lemmond relate his novel
dream one thinks he is fit can
didate for Bedlam. No one
need fear of its speedy realiza-
ton, for YOU never find COM
binatiou of dreamer and Midas.
MIR. Lemmond's project would
take oodles of money. and the
gentleman referred to doesn't
hesitate to let 1t be known that
he doesn't possess the wealth of
a CroeSus or of an owner of an
Ell Dorado bonanza. But who
would have thought twenty
years ago that mail would be
carried by aeroplanes, or that
messages would be sent from
this county to Japan through
wireless? The old English witch
who prophecied that all these
things of recent invention would
be an actually, was probably on
ly dreaming, just like MIR. Lem.
mond.
Edgar Allen Poe claims to be
a singular person in that he
"dreamt dreams that no man
ever dared dream before" but
we venture to saw that no one,
even in the widest flights of
fancy, ever conceived of such
daring project as is Mr.. Lem.
mond's. That estimable gen.
tleman says, if he had the mon
ey, that he would construct
network of trolley lines cement
ing the stamping grounds of old
Andy Jackson into one compati-
BILE mass.
Mr.. Lemmond would run his
car line to Wingate; thence to
Marshyilla, and from there to
Pagefdno Another track would
shoot out from Monroe to Wa
haw, with links to Bakers, Stouts,
Mineral Springs, Weddington
and Prices Mill. Another line
would be carried up to Union
vile; thence to Olive Branch
and Euto. Other links would
traverse Buford: Lanes Creek
would not be ignored, and Mr..
Lemmond could possibly be per-
suaded not to forget Charlotte.

w M. u. at Orangeburg


Thinking perhaps it would be
OF interest to some of the Jour
nal readers l will say a few
things about the State meeting
of the w. M. U. at Orangeburg,
November 7-10. In the way of
attendance it was the largest
ever held, there being 400 dele
gates enrolled. Then there were
large numbers of girls and wo.
men there from the immediate
sections of the town and county.
1t was indeed az inspiring sight
to see such a large number of
our women gathered together
giving their time and their best
thought to tie things of the
Kingdom of our Christ. 1t is al
so a beautiful thing to see some
OF the finest talent of the Baptist
womanhood of South Carolina
given to such a noble service.
We had fine addresses from
the following noted speakers:
DR.. L. T. Cody, DR.. w. T. De
rieux, DR.. G.. A. Jones and Dr..
Weston Bruner. Besides these
we had with us two missionaries
from China, Rev. B. P. Roach
and Miss Lila Mcintyre.
The reports for the years
work in South Carolina were
very good indeed, showing great
progress along all lines.
The Union meets next No
vember with the Citadel
square church in Charleston.
The invitation was very hearth,
given and Mayor Hyde's wife
expressed the wish that we
would number one thousand
when we gather there. telling us
too that as we had been meeting
around at some of the garden
spots of the State she then want.
ed to invite us to meet in the
garden of Eden. Well, we will
see next November.
During the session of our
meeting the announcement
came that Wilson was elected
and the demonstration of deep
feeling over that matter in the
hearts of our women was most
touching indeed. Women sat
there and actually wept for joy.
One lady sitting near the writer
said she had spent the night be-
fore praying for Wilson's cleo.
ton. The Union sent a tele
gram of congratulation to Presi-
dent Wilson quoting Philippians
4th Chapter, beginning with 4th
verse and closing with the 9TH.
Mrs. r. M Funderburk accom-
panied the writer to the Union.
We with Mr.. ]. M. Funderburk,
who was visiting relatives IN
Sumter spent Saturday and Sun
day there, coming home Mon
day.

Official Statemant of Fair Re-
ceipts

The paid attendance at the
Chesterfield County Fair for 1916
was as follows: "Wednesday, 922;
Thursday, 4lO9; Friday, 1888;
Saturday, l2SS. Total paid at.
tendance 1852 which netted the
sum of $l97O.7O.
The paid attendance for Thurs
day, 4lO9, and the tolal paid al

celptS the Fair Association re-
Ceived $197.5O from lunch stands

amphitheater is by two different doors.
The horseshoe shaped. amphitheater
faces the auctioneer's pulpit and there
are seats for 400 On either side of the
center pavilion are one-story wings, de-
voted to the housing of cattle. The
equipment there is thoroughly modern.
The plans were drawn by Brockway &
Collin of Syracuse, n. Y.
The railroad station, which was COM
plcted about 80 per cent year ago,
was finished and accepted this spring
and formally opened in August. The
exterior of the building is of mountain
stone with the waiting rooms, ticket
office, baggage and express rooms on
the Vernon street level. The track Law
cl is reached from the main floor by
stairs leading from an overpass over
the tracks to both the northbound and
southbound tracks. The building has
been fully described in The Phoenix.
About 100000 of the cost is to be cred
tied to the building record Of 1916.
Work is well under way on the store
aud Office building of five stories on
Main street and six on Flat street that
II. G. Barber is having built at the
corner Of Main and Flat streets. This
building will be absolutely freproof
and is so arranged that large portion
of it may be turned into hotel quar-.
tors if later Mr.. Barber decides to pro-
vide additional hotel accommodations
in the town. The heavy foundations are
i'm and the :irst floor has been laid.
Work has been carried on by the aid
of search lights and other electric
lights many nights until midnight and
after, and all days are of 10 hours. The
exterior will be of dark red tapestry
brick with stone trim, and courts are
50 arranged that every room in the
building will have daylight.
Rapid progress has been made in the
early work of building the garage build
ing on the Hooker property at the cor
ner Of Main and High streets for which
John B. Marley awarded the contract
Aug. 81. This building will be of brick
with cast stone trimmings. 1t will be
four stories high with q frontage of
100 feet on High street and nearly the
same depth. The basement and first and
second floors will be devoted to the au-
tomobilc business and each of the two
top floors will be divided into 10 suites.
The first floors and basement of the
building will be absolutely freproof,
even to metal window sash, but wooden
partitions will be used on the two up
per floors.
The WoOlworth building on Main
street, formerly the o. j. Pratt proper
ty, was extensively remodeled this sum-

desk lights unnecessary. The heating
system will be steam with boiler
burning soft coal and -smokable.
The main entrance of the building
is on the Main street front close to the
corner of South Main street, and the
door opens to n level about midway be-
tween the basement and the first floor.
Easy stairs lead to the various floors.
There is no passenger elevator, but a
small lift is installed for the ready
transfer of books and materials from
one floor to another.
One Of the buildings constructed in
Brattleboro during the year is unique
in that it is the first sales pavilion that
has been built in the country as the
result of observation of the develop
mcnt of cattle barns combined with
the needs of auctioneering and admin
istrativc efficiency. The Purebred Live
Stock Sales Co. of Brattleboro had the
building erected on Vernon street at q
cost of about $4,000. 1t is of wood
and the central pavilion is two stories
high, entrance to which is through q
spacious lobby devoted to exposition
purposes. Entrance from this to the
