Skating Rink on Roof.

is being investigated with the idea of
using this instead of real ice.

built as to make it possible to put the
sections in place in a few minutes in
case of necessity.
1t is stated that the Hotel Washing

RUNAWAY HORSE.
CRASHES INTO AUTO

The horse owned by Roy Badger OF
Danville staged real runaway yester-
day afternoon when it started from in
front of the Calvin Brown store on
Eastern avenue, made the corner of
Main street and Eastern avenue, going
down the street on high, overturning
the light wagon which sideswiped an
automobile driven by John Cook, as 1t
went by. The crash terrified the panic
stricken animal and it executed a left
about, and came to a stop between
the horses hitched to the railing at
the side of the court house. The
frightened horse nearly started a gen.
eral panic among the animals tied to
the railing but men from the court
house yard caught and held the run
away before more damage was done.
Mr.. Badger said he was standing be-
side the team when the bride dropped
to the ground starting the horse on
it's wild dash. The horse was travel
ing on the dead run when the trailing
wagon crashed into the Cook auto
mobile, crumpling the front left hand
fender and almost tearing off the rear
mud guard. The wagon was completely
demolished, and the horse sustained
large cut on the right hind leg and
was also badly famed as a result of the
escapade.

Awaits The Coming Of Troops
From New England States
With Open Hands.
WELCOMES FRIENDS
AND RELATIVES ALSO
Good Old Southern Hospitality
Awaits New EngIanders In Char
iotte, Where Every AavailabIe Ac-
commodation is Being Planned BY
Citizens.

Charlotte awaits the coming of the
troops from the New England States
with open hands and their friends and
relatives as we'll. Their homes will
be thrown open to them. The South
ern hospitality which is somewhat
notably known throughout the nation
Will be plenteously exercised toward
these soldiers who spend little while
here before going into the arduous
and dangerous 1abors of the trenches.
The people Of Charlotte are planning
now to put within reach ct the troop
ers every available accommodation.
Public drinking fountains are being
the hotels, restaurants, church base
fnents, public buildings and empty
store rooms will be provided and the
soldiers will have an opportunity
from time to time to take meal in
the homes of the leading citizens of
the community. They will be made
to feel that they have not fallen
among thieves" but among their
friends.
In addition to what is being done
for them by the. commission for train
ing camp activities, this commission
having for its business chiefly the
entertainment and comfort of the
men, the provision of attractive enter
tainments, ETC., but the Young Mems
Christian Association will extend its
hon o6oiopf ipAuopoo toword roaLin q
the stay of the men here pleasant and
profitable. And in addition to all of
these organized agencies, the indi-
vidual citizens of Charlotte will hold
back from the visiting guardsmen
nothing that will tend to give them a
taste of Southern hospitality and feel
the warmth and cordially Of the well
come generally felt for them into this
community, for time to be their
home.
Charlotte Socially and ReIigiously.
Charlotte Is recognized as one OF
the most religious cities in the world.
This broad statement is substantiated
by the records which show that a
greater proportion Of the adult popu-
lation of the community attends. di-
vine worship than in any other city in
this country and only one In the
world exceeds it, that being Edtn-
borough, Scotland. The Christian
charity OF the city is notable. 1t
shows itself in ample support given
to those organizations having for
their purpose the physical and moral
and spiritual uplift of the people. 1t
maintains number of splendid hos
pitfalls, the most recent acquisition in
