SUPPOSED LONE DESERTER
SHOWS UP

Jess Thompson, the only white
man who failed to be examined or
report for consignment to Camp
Jackson as one of the selectmen,
showed up Saturday morning, eleven
davs overdue. His explanation was
that he had not received any OF tue
notifications, did not even know that
he was drafted. In fact had been
awav from his home at High ROCK
and part of the time had been en-
eaeed in saw mill work. His people
lost track of him and did not know
where to forward his mail, which
had accumulated no little when ne
returned. AS soon as he found the
call to arms" he girded his IONS
and fastened this way to save his
name and defend his liberty. Cnalr
man Wheeler was not disposed TO
deal harshly with the young man
since he put up such a good story !,
therefore provided him with ticket
to Camp jackson and the necessary :81
credentials ~ with the admonition, 10
and make a record for yourself and
conntrv." This makes clean snee'
for High Point township-no desert
ere here.

The matter of assessing the cost

Brantley" Circle in Rowland Park
came up anc it was decided to ask
the property-Owners thereabouts to
pay one-half the cost of same.
Some discussion was had in re-
gard to the reconstruction of the

whether or not the city was getting
just the kind of work it expected for
the $4,000 outlay.
A. F. EShelman appeared before
the board and rendered his resigna-

eide on the damage tn the Carrick
property by the opening up of
street by the city. He stated that

AS the building is of wood and To-
Gated within the fire district the

Centennial avenue, is being looked
upon more favorably by the people.
In fact there are many who now be-
lieve that it will outwear any other
form of pavement. The council
thinks we'll of it, too.
The new ordinance relating to the
street venders was read and ordered
published. A tax of $25 a year is
placed on all peanut, popcorn and
chestnut stands and the like.
The cost of the various streets
now completed is being figured out
and the proportionate cost to the
property owners will soon be made
known.

able with the Governors recent
clemency extended to John Thomp-
son, who was convicted of breaking
into Charles r. Thomas drug store
in Thomasville and stealing $40.

and the third man, Perry Briles, is
hired out as was provided by the
sentence when it was shown that he
has a heart Leak
There was no reason for a pardon
for Thompson which did not apply
to the others as well, he said. The
solicitor who prosecuted the three
men and secured their conviction
protested against a pardon, but the
Governor set him free, nevertheless.

Earl Caddock, of Iowa, Said To Be
Another Frank Gotch.

New York, Jan. 3.-Char1es S
Sherman, veteran western sport writ
er, and. one of the keenest judges of
wrestler in the country, has delved
into the wilds of Iowa and picked out
a brand new wrestling marvel. Sher-
man declares the new phenom easily
is as good as Frank Gotch, also an
Iowan, when that wonderful grappler
first began to appear in public.
Considering the fact that it was
Sherman who first recognized the
boosted him into prominence, his en-
dorsement of the farmer youth he
calls Earl Caddock carries some
weight.
Caddock, says Sherman, is a farm
err boy from Anita, Ia, and has been
in the ranks of the professionals only
a year. His rise, it is stated, has been
just as phenomenal as that which
shot Joe Stecher into the limelight,
and, like Stecher, the Iowa youth,
never has lost a fall in a match.
Sherman writes he was most i'm
pressed with Caddock's performance,
when that youth met and defeated
Mort Henderson, the original mask
ed marvel" Henderson, in his time,
has met and held his own with some
of the best in the wrestling game, and
for. that reason Caddock's hackers
were somewhat reluctant to allow the
youngster to meet the time-tried vet
eran of the mat game. Their doubts
were dispelled however within very
short time after the bout started when
Caddock sped behind the eastern
wrestler and pinned his shoulders to
the mat in just ten minutes. The
second fall was achieved in six min
uteS.
