WOMAN HAS HARROW
ING EXPERIENCE.

The Morehead City Coaster tells
following:
The funeral over the remains CT
the late Mr.. Claude C. Whithurst, OF
Straits, N. c., who came to an untime-
ly end as the result of being struck by
lightning last Friday was held at
Straits last Monday morning.
Mr.. Whitehurst was a successful
farmer in his locality, and at the
close of the season, having harvested
his crop planned vacation to Bear
Creek, near Swansboro.
He, with his wife and three chill
dren started out in their gasoline
launch Friday with quilts and neces-
sary campaign utensils.
While within six miles of their des-
tination the storm started, a sudden
flash of lightning being the first in
dication of the coming storm.
Mrs. Whithurst, who was sitting
IN the stern of the boat with her chill
dren, wondered why her husband did
not remark about the storm; then she
noticed the engine was missing and
went in the engine room to see what
was the trouble. There she found her
husband in a huddled position with
his head against the engine and the
blood flowing. 1t is thought that he
was struck by the lightning, and IN
falling his head struck the engine,
cutting a deep cash in his head.
Mrs. Whitehurst, not knowing how
to run the boat cut off the engine
and tried to anchor. When she
threw over the anchor the cable was
not fast and lost 1t. Then she found
an oar In the boat and attempted to
paddle the boat along, but in her
frantic excitement lost the oar. With
no other means Of help she fastened
on a life preserver got into the wat
er, which was up to her neck, and
pulled the boat about one half mile to
shoal.
With no help in sight she took the
children out Of the boat and spread
quilts for them, and there the four
waited with the unconscious husband
and father in the boat, and not know
ing at what time the tide might car
~ it off, from 8 o'clock in the after
noon until dark.
Seeing a light in the distance Mrs.
Whitehurst signaled and Mr.. w. c..
Smith of near Bogue, who had start
ed floundering went to her rescue.
He carried her husband with her and
the children to his home, and then
went to Swansboro for doctor. Not
being able to secure one there he went
to Newport The doctor of that place
was absent so he came to this city
and secured the services of DR.. Sharp
and took him to the patient. DR..
Sharp remained until daybreak and
then brought Mr.. Whitehurst to the
Morehead City Hospital, where all ef-
forts were made to improve his con-
dition, but he never regained con-
scIousness. He died Sunday morning
at 12 o'clock with his relatives at his
bedside.

TO THE VOTERS OF DILLON
COUNTY.

l want to thank the people of Dill
lon county for the unbiased, un-
bought and flatterIng vote that they
gave me Tuesday. Also at this time
I take pleasure in thanking the peo-
pie of Dillon county for the honors
that they have given me in the past
a. a whole by making me their sher-
iff for a period of ten years.
I have done my best to do my duty
IN this office and have served the
people of Dillon county to the best of
my ability.
AS I said on the campaign that
did not intend to spend any money
and I have not, neither do intend
to spend any money on the second
primary. 1t Is rumored that this Sec
tond primary campaign is to be a
money campaign. I cannot match
dollars with the capital that is ar
rayed against me. The men who have
engineered this campaign against me
are entirely too wealthy for me to
attempt to meet them with money,
and I must depend up the honest
electors.
Last year was the first year that
the peace department Of Dillon coun-
ty was puA under my charge, that is
the first Year that the rural police
men were left under my directions,
and it is the first year that the rural
police department has ever paid its
own expenses. Last year the police
department of Dillon county ,urned
into Dillon county around ten thous-
and dollars and made a clear saving
to Dillon county of two thousand dol
lars after paying the sherlff's salary
and salaries of rural policemen and
magistrates Of Dillon county.
I have done my duty as sheriff and
If the fight being made on me by
such men as George Bruce and Ed
Kirby will beat me, then am per-
fectly willing to be beat in the next
primary.
am going to leave this matter to
the people of Dillon county. am
wiring Governor Cooper for permis-
sion to take a vacation. If the people
Of Dillon county want me for their
sheriff they can elect me. and if they
do so I pledge them to do my whole
duty, but am not going to ATTEMPT
to match dollars with the money in
terests who are backing the fight
on me. 1 cannot attempt to do so.
will appreciate every honest vote
on the 14th.
will be at Chatham Hill. Va,
until election day, but on election
day I will be here with the voters.

Taylor Holmes that had been sent to
the writer's sister had come too late,
for the sister was dead, and this girl
wrote to the star that she had seen so
often on the screen, telling the news
OF her sisters death to him, and thank

eager little note she had added, to the
effect that she had asked the local
manager Of the picture house when the
next Taylor Holmes picture was to be
shown, and that she would write again
when she saw It, telling him she liked
1t. Not whether she liked It, mind
you, for she was predetermined on
that point, but the manner Of her
liking.

the lights. All in all, IL is much easier
than the stagej those who have worked
only before the screen do not know
the real meaning Of work.
"With the excellent directing that !
am to have and the technical skill that
is to be given to the making of this
picture, ! feel that we should be able
to give Romance out to our audiences
as we gave it to them In London. I
do not mind the time that Is given to
it; the day when stars produced eight
or nine pictures a year Is gone; per-
sonally l should. not want to make
more than two pictures 8 year.
There were tense moments in the
process Of transition" she remarked,
with CLEAN Of amusement in her eyes
and slow smile on her lips. "When
they first asked me to make up for a
shot to see how l photographed, I
very innocently proceeded to use my
stage makeup: blue circles around
my eyes, very dark eyebrows, and
dashes Of color on each cheek. | was
Mortified when I saw the first showing.
There I stood with outstanding black
brows, great circles Of white around
my eyes, and black blotches on each
cheek. Then and there some ono ex-
planned the mysteries of makeup for
screen acting and the second and third
times that I was photographed there
were moro satisfactory results. That
was one Of the difficulties that en-
ceountered in going from the stage to
the screen"
"1s that transition to be permanent p"
"That is for the future to determine.
but / feel that whatever pictures may
make, l shall always return to the
stage, as one must whose training has
been, as mine has, for the stage. There
is always that call to return, I believe.
After I finish Romance I have a con-
tract to fill in England for the per
formance Of another Of Mr.. Sheldon's
plays, and a revival of Romance in
New York, London and Paris is being
talked Of"
One feels, as Miss Keane discusses
the film version Of Romance, the in
terest and love for her creation (for
such her part in Romance" must be
calied) that inspired her performances
IN London, that made her Garry on"
