Carnival Man Dead.

1t was reported to the Kings
Daughters last week that ca car
nival man was very sick in one
of the cars at the depot. The
Circle promptly took the matter
in hand, as indeed they do with
everv case reported to them, and
sent him to the James hospital
at Hamlet on the 9th. He was
suffering from acute nephritis,
and died next day.
The remains were embalmed
by Wilson, the undertaken at
Hamlet, and the remains are still
at his establishment, every effort
to locate any of the mans rela-
tives having so far failed. His
name is Gus Gage, and he is
supposed to be from Ohio; ap-
parently he was SO years old.

Tom WatsOn's Paper.

That arch Bolshevik and trai-
tor, Thomas E. Watson, of Geor-
gia, is again at his old tricks
of trying to deceive and mis-
lead the ignorant. During the
draft days he published a pa
per attacking the draft law and
was so bitter against the Amer
ican Government that his pa
per was denied the use of the
mails. And now he has again
come forth with his paper in
scurrilious attacks upon the gov
ernment. He is an enemy of
good government and nothing
would suit him better than to
have this country pattern after
the Bolshevik Russians.
He understands how to play
upon the prejudices of the ig-
norant and any who help to cir
culate his paper is aiding and
abetting in a work calculated
to do great harm to the coun-
try. N
1t is said he has a person in
every county to whom he sends
each week a big batch of his
papers and these are then dis
tributed among those who be-
lieve in such anarchistic propa-
ganda. If you see a sheet, burn
it. Don't soil your hands by the
touch.

The Red Cross Roll Call that

gratifying success, thanks to the

Thieving Fortune Teller.

A thieving Gypsy fortune (?)
teller at the carnival at the Fair
Grounds last week was caught
fleeing two suckers.
She, on Friday, stole $18
from the pocketbook of a South
Carolina man whose name the
Post-Dispatch was not able to
learn, and on Saturday she stole
SIS from a son of Croft Ellerbe,
colored. Sheriff Mcdonald in
both instances made her dis
gorge and return the money.
In the theft from the negro
she worked a smooth game. AT
ter getting him into her tent
to tell his fortune she pursuaded
him to open his pocketbook and
hand her the contents, SIG. AS
a part of the fortune she wad-
ded SIS of the amount into a
very small knot, supposedly
placed it in an eggshell, mutter-
ed various and sundry incanta-
tions, plucked three strands of
his hair from his forehead,
"conjured" them solemnly, tied
them with a ribbon and had the
boy place them in his bosom,
and then sent the befortuned
and dazed youth from the tent.
When he aroused from his syp-
motto state and hunted in the
eggshell for his money he found
it missing. The sheriff was con-
suited and the money returned.

he added, when General Gonzales saw
that he had lost the city he sent an
urgent appeal to the American COM

Fearing his appeal would not be heed
ed, Villa said, Gonzales ordered his
men deliberately to fire into Ell Paso
to bring about intervention of
American troops
Why He Retired.
Villa said he did not fear a con-
filct with the American troops at
Juarez but retired because he knew
this section did not represent tho real
sentiment of the people Of the United
States. In view of the refusal of the
united States, he said, 10 permit Car

attack him at Juarez, he had stead
