captured $36. 900 worth of Can.
adian bonded whisky which
had just been brought in by an
auto truck and delivered at the
home of wealthy resident of
the exclusive district along Sew.

purchaser of the k;skny was
carefully conc aled BY ne po-

en- men OF Lesser importance
were arrested for having pin
BOTTLES on their hips, and the If
names were duly chroniclsd in
all of the four newspapers of
the city. There Is, as one sees.

A telegram received Monday aft

man Ernest Boyles, who went to
Frederick, Md, Sunday night to iden-
tify the man held by j, authorities
there, stating that it was not Carl
Talley, the man wanted in Green's
bore in connection with the murder
of Policeman w. Thomas McCuiston.
Mr.. Boyles knows fTalley, having
lived at LeaksviIle, Taley's nome, and
for this reason he was chosen to make
the trip to Frederick.
1t has not been learned whether or
not r. A. Smith, the name the man
arrested gave, will be brought to
Salisbury or not. At the time of his
arrest in Maryland it is alleged that
he was driving a car which was stolen
IN Salisbury several weeks ago and
Salisbury offers accompanied Police
man Boyles to the Maryland city. It
is thought, however, that Smith will
be brought back to Salisbury to an

Persons who put too much weight

er@ VIC. Jones, Of High Point, who
announced that special O. .icers viii he
placed on that popular thorotighfare
for the purpose of apprehendin<s' viola
tors of the speeding laws.
In making tine announcement Er.
Jones said it was his desire to give
every person fair warning SO that if
''pinched" no individual could deny
knowledge of the law.
Persons driving on the new road,
which was recently built by the
county commissioners at q cost of
thousands Of dollars, are tempted to
indulge in the speeding art, but the
presence of officers, it is believed,
will cause auto drivers not to exceed
a speed limit of 25 miles an hour.

Men Are Poor Shoppers

Men are poor shoppers. When they
see an article approximating what
they want, they submit weakly, sur
render, horse, foot and guns, and say,
"Wrap it up" They lack the nerve
to say, "It isn't quite the thing. Let
me see what else you have"
They think this is an accommoda-
ton to the store, but it isn't. They
go away slightly dissatisfied, grow
more and more so the further they
get toward home, and by the time
they have reached that donicile they
are sorer than an aching tooth and
cussing the clerk and the store.
A woman would pick around until
she got exactly what she wanted, no
matter who seemed to be annoyed by
her ickleness. She would go away
perfectly unwept and unsung, but
surely unstung, and she would feel
far kind1ier toward tsat ship than
would the man who bought more
readily.
For a man shopping is bore. For
woman it is sport. That makes
the difference.

WOman's Pitable Case
Causes Much Sympathy

Greensboro, June ID. B. lseley,
chief of police, states that he is
stumped. He has reached his wits end
without being able to solve the diff
Guilty which was presented to him
several days ago when two patrolmen
arrested Ida Gwynn, young white Wo-
man, for .vagrancy. At the time OF
her arrest she was wandering aln1less-
ly about the streets.
It was discovered Immediately after
she was taken to the police station
that her mind is unbalanced and the
charge of vagrancy against her was
dropped. Police officers tried every
way possible to obtain information
concerning her relatives but have been
unable to discover but little concern
ing her life. She has stated that she
was born in Stokes county and that
she spent year in the insane asylum
at Morganton., Officers thought at
from the asylum but investigation
proved this to be untrue.
She is allowed to go where she
pleases, although officers watch her
very closely. She never attempts to
wander far from. the police station
and always goes back either to the
city jail or to the police sergeant's
desk.
An effort will be made to place her
in some institution. She appears to
be absolutely harmless and is Iuiet
and docile, never speaking unless she
is first spoken to. She has gained the
sympathy Of the entire police force
and they are very anxious that some
disposition of 1.-THE case can be made
which will place her in more desir-
able position. Her nresent home, the
city jail, declares MI. Iseley, is no
place for a woman in her condition
and he has tried in every way pessi-
BILE to obtain place for her. County
authorities state that they have no
room for her in the county jail, which
is more convenient and 4 much bet
ter place for her, and the chief does
not know which way to turn.

people all over the city could see the
flames against the southern sky. Hun
dreds went to the fire.
