AUTOMOBILE STOLEN
BUT RECOVERED.

On the evening of Aug. 7th, ]. d.
White son, of ]. x. White, one mile
East of town, drove the car of his
father, into Lexington, to attend the
Pullen show and left the car at the
corner of the public square, near the
Baptist church. After the show, Mr..
White found his car gone and at once
enlisted the help of Marshal ]. W.
Knowles. 1t did not take long to dis
cover that an attempt had been made
to steal the car and the parties in
making their getaway jammed 1t
against telephone pole on the cross
street between the strainer shop and
the residence of Mrs. Melton on Cliff
ton street.
This. is the second known attempt
to steal an automobile in this section,
the first being the theft of Link
Sipes' car west of town, which car,
two days later was found in thicket
near Beech Bluff, stripped of three Of
the tires, and all the tools. These
attempted thefts should be warning
to all to be careful about leaving un-
locked cars standing in isolated
places to tempt the thieves who seem
to be rapidly multiplying. The gen.
eral condition in the country is evi-
IDENTIFY breeding thievery--a natural
result Of the extortionate prices de-
manded in many instances and on
many articles.

section was in Lexington, on the 9Th
inst, accompanied by Messrs. d. M.
Arrowwood, of Bessemer City, North
Carolina, and j. M. Davis, of Lincoln
ton, in the same state. These gentle

left here in 1878 and went to North
Carolina. Mr.. Davis left here in 1881
and first went to Colorado, afterward
moving to North Carolina. Messrs
Kizer and Davis came to Henderson
county about fifty years ago with
their aunts, Mrs. Sarah Kizer (moth-
er of our citizen, John Kizer) and her
sister, Mrs, Mrs Susan Davis, from
North Carolina. While in Lexing-
tton Mr.. Wilson brought his kinsmen
to call on us and their call was appre-
ciated for both are genial gentlemen.

TWO MEN FALL
TO THEIR DEATH.

On Thursday of last week Lieuten-
ant James d. Stewart, who has re-
Gently been several times in Lexing-
ton in his airplane, left Memphis, for
Paducah, accompanied by Mr.. S. Reed
Campbell, staff reporter of the
Commercial Appeal, Mr.. Campbell
going to Paducah, his former home,
to take his summer vacation, and
Lieut.. Stewart going to the same city
for the purpose of giving flying ex-
hibition to stimulate and aid enlist
ments in the various departments of
the U. S. Army. While giving the
exhibition over Paducah, on Friday
afternoon, with Lieutenant Stewart
strapped in his seat and Mr.. Campbell
with him, the airship's engine went
dead while the stunt of looping the
loop was being performed, and the
airship fell to the earth, causing the
instant death of both Of the men. 1t
was stated in the Commercial Appeal
that Mr.. Campbell jumped from the
machine when within thirty feet Of
the ground, and fell on his head.
Another account says that Mr.. Camp
bell did not jump from the machine.
Both men were about the age of 2l,
and fine fellows, and that their lives
should have been thus sacrificed was,
indeed, deplorable.

BIG LAND sALEA
WONDERFUL SUCCESS.

The auction sale of the A. r. and
w. F. Appleby lands. three miles
North of Lexington and known as,
part Of the former James N. Howard
lands. sold at Auction on the 9Th inst,
~ Capt. w. r. Manley, of the Man
Iey Auction Company, of Union City,
was success, the six tracts bringing
fair prices from the purchasers, and
netting the owners, Oakley & Co., Of
Lexington) a fair profit. Capt. Man
ley made quite talk before the sale
began, trying to impress on the peo-
pie the fact that possession of a part
of "God's Footstool" is more to be de-
sired than any other property. He
plead with the people not to mortgage
their lands and said that ten years
from now many present land owner
will become renter. Capt Manley's
talk could not have failed to be bene-
ficial had there been no sale Of land
in contemplation.
The man who buys, lives upon, cul-
tivates and keeps a small body of
land, is doing his part toward i'm
proving the citizenship Of any coun-
try
The land first sold in individual
tracts as follows:
Tract No. I, 1871 acres, $44.00 per
acre.
Tract No. 2, 5s.1 acres, $3.50 per
acre.
Tract No. 8, 96.4 acres, s50.50 per
acre.
Tract No. 4, IT'S acres, s4S.OO per
acre.
Tract No, 5, 50.4 acres, $4,000 per
acre.
Tract No. 6, 90 acres, $500 per
acre.
The final sale was as follows and
bought by the parties named:
Tracts Nos. and 6, $3.50 per acre
bought by w. F. Appleby and c. I.
Roberts.
Tract No. 2, $500 per acre; tract
No. 4. $500 per acre, bought by ].
w. Page, who has since bought tract
No. 5 from Elias Blankenship.
Tract No. /, s44 per acre, bought
by w. L. Harris.
Tract No. 4, s50.50 per acre bought
by Elias Blankenship.
The entire sale of the six subdivid-
ed tracts brought the total of $751;
$3.50. Tracts and 6 were the only
ones on which the first sale price was
raised.
The splendid barbecue on the
grounds was given by Oakley & Co.,
at the loss of s5o.SS-but that did not
interfere with the fact that the meats
were extra well cooked and enjoyed
by the diners.

ANDREW CARNEGIE
GOES TO HIS REWARD.

MI
Andrew Carnegie, native born
Scot, and one Of the greatest Amers
Iiean fortune-builders. passed from
Earth to his final settlement, at his
great mansion III the Berkshire Hills
Eaf A6sseehlszettq on th I'm inztS
Wnile the nlliItI-ilI = lllFt st65I
magnate had reached the great age
Of more than S3 years and had been
in failing health for some time, the
immediate cause Of his death was
bronchial pneumonia, which took him
off in three days.
Andrew Carnegie was born in Scot
land, was the son of poor weaver
and came to this country with his
father at the age of 13 years. His
first job earned him a little more
than a dollar week.-yet he lived to
be rated one Of the richest men in all
the world.
Following the civil war of 1S61-65
he entered the field of development Of
the iro nindustry and was the first to
introduce the Bessemer steel process
into the United States. He continued
in the steel industry until 1901, when
the great Carnegie Steel Company
was merged into the United States
Steel Corporation, popularity called
the "steel trust.
In the year 1912 he gave away the
staggering sum of $3.50, ,403, 900 and
in that year announced that he had
given away all his fortune except the
pittance of twenty five million dol
lars--but he is said to have left for
tune of three hundred million dollars,
so If he told the truth at that time
his fortune has since multiplied itself
by twelve.
In conjunction with cities and
towns he built Carnegie Libraries all
over the United States and the Van
derbilt University in Tennessee was
the benfit of his philanthrophy to the
extent of cool million dollars. Mr..
Carnegie may have won honor by his
gift to the Vanderbilt University
Medical Department. but the Uni
versity itself, by the construed terms
on which the gift was accepted, lost
the respect Of thousands of people
who had held it in highest honor.
1t would take column or more Of
our space to itemize Carnegie gifts
the greatest perhaps ever bestowed
by any man in the world.
That he was great man, no one
can deny, and he tried TO be good
man, we are constrained to believe.
He has gone where his millions avail
him nothing-but in the last settle
ment he was entitled to the credit for
the good he did in life.

WE MUST NOT BUY
THE N0N-ESSENTIALS.

If we could successfully make one
plea with our people, it would be to
implore them moi. to spend their mon
ey for non-esseptials7-the things
which perhaps bring passing pleas
ure but confer no lastin1 benefit: \.
The man WIN buys r'I WHICH -
NOT ESSENTIAL to his personal
and financial welfare, is THROW
ING HIS MONEY AWAY. On the
other hand the man who buys wisely,
economically and only that which is
needed for the comfort (not passing
pleasure) of himself and family, in
the long-run gets the most out Of life,
preserves his self-respect and wins
the permanent respect of his fellows.
Just as sure as there is an Ameri-
can government, yea, just as sure as
there is a God in Heaven, the time is
coming when the present inflated
condition in the United States is GO
ing to collapse, and when that collapse
comes, if you have thrown away your
cheap money for very little Of the
things you do not need, the more SEN
sible ones who are now cutting out
the useless things and in the days to
come will be supplied with the then
high priced money, viii laugh at you
for the fool that you are.

to conduct the institution economically
and for the best interests of the pa

our admiration. I will use some of
