Paris Accepts Defeat
Of It's Idol Frankly
Some Editorial Comment Has Note OF
Depression and of Bitterness

Paris, July 5.-The superiority q Of
Jack Dempsey, worlds heavyweight
boxing champion, over Georges Car
pentier, the French idol, was accepted
frankly by the newspaper. Press ana
public, however, remain loyal to Car
pentier, who is still lauded as a great
fighter who went against "a stone
wall'
The newspapers all adopt light
tone and refuse to treat the French
champions defeat as national ca
lamity.
Albeit there was marked depression
in the editorial comment on the hghC
and some traces of bitterness, the
humoristic note predominated, many
Of the writer's apparently awakening
to the realization that they had been
giving the fight too much prominence as
and evidently desiring to get IL OIL
the first page as soon as possible.

has been in circulation here after eacn
big championship fight, to the eHecV
that the defeated fighter was deao'
spread throughout Paris and the AS.
Sociated Press telephone was kept
busy denying the rumor.

Travelling Man in Jail

w. H. McLaurin, paint salesman Oh
Charlotte, who was arrested last week
on charge of criminal assault on four
young white girls, their ages ranging
from 8 to II, and who was lodged in
iail, was later arraigned in recorder S
court. He waived examination and
was committed to the county jail:
McLaurin is 55 years old, married and
is we'll known. He picked up the
girls on the street, offering to take
them on a ride to Concord. The as
saults are alleged to have taken place
on the trip, the girls stating, it is
said, that he gave them each Is cents
not to tell when they returned home.
The girls told their parents and they
reported the case to the police, Nc
Laurin's arrest following Immediately
thereafter.
Charlotte is wrought up over the
matter It has been the practice OF
white men, it is said, to lure young
girls by the offer of an auto trip. Nc
Laurin told the girls he picked up
that he would take them for a ride
to Concord, and without realizing the
danger which threatened, they went
with him.

Deadly I'm

Put to Use
Bad Fight Here
An "7esday Morning
J. D. ,SittersOn and E. A. Edwards
Badly Wounded in Combat at Store

esday morning at 1916 people on
Nam street were attracted to the At
Iantic Store, where the owners
Messrs. J. D. Sitterson and E. A. Ed
wards were in desperate fight.
Blood was flowing freely from tn
body and arm of Sitterson and from
the head of Edwards.
It is reported that the fight resulted
from a trivial matter, that Sitterson
knocked Edwards down twice with a
club, whereupon Edwards managed to
draw his knife and seriously if not fa-
tally cut Sitterson on the arm and
back. The wounds were long and
dangerous and what the outcome will
be is a matter of conjecture. Edwards
skull is probably fractured. He is also
m a serious condition.
No arrests were made owing to the
fact that both principals were so bad
" wounded. The store was closed
Immediately after the fight. 1t is
learned that Miss Edwards received
bad cut on the hand from a glancing
lick from the club as she tried to
Stop the fight. Blood was all over the
floor, in front of the store and all
along sidewalk where they fought in
deadly combat.

Ku Klu-A Klan Wizard
Speaks to Big Crowd
w. .JsSimmons Declares the Organi-
zation is Not a Sectional Affair
Friends to Good Negroes.

About 5000 people gathered at tn,
fair grounds Friday night to hear w
j. Simmons, imperial wizard Of tht
| Ku KIax Klan, discuss the past, the
present and the future of the organ
izatioll About 225 men clothed in the
robes Of the order marched into the
| fairgEounds and took their seats
! among those of the audience. Mr.
Sinnfons was introduced by Rev
/ GeergAsR. Brown, of High Point, who
! declared that he had been informed
! unoffiskaily that High Point is the
home one of the largest klans in
the entire country.
Mr. Simmons declared that the khan
is not IA sectional organization; that it
is one which. covers the entire nation;
the members of the order, he said,
are ndt limited to any one state but
members may be found in all states.
The principles of the khan, he declared,
were, not first known during the time
Immediately following the war be-
tween the states. The Mecklenburg
declaration of independence, he stated,
marked the first display of the spirit
of the organization in America.
Had she organization not taken
charge of the situation which devel-
oped Immediately after the Civil war,
declated the speaker, the American

Hsadeclared that he had no apology
to ri1ake for the restriction of mem
berskip due tor religious beliefs. If a
man does not accept the teachings of
Jesus Christ, he stated, he does not
belong to the khan and the organiza-
ton does not want him as a member.
The old organization which was
formed during the reconstruction
days In the south was disbanded in
1871, declared Mr.. Simmons, and any
disorders which took place after this
organization was disbanded can not
be attributed to the band of men
who saved hesouth from hongrelism.
disorders which have oc-
Cured in number of places and
which have been blamed on the khan
by many people were disclairned. The
location Of every local organization
is known at headquarters in Atlanta,
said the speaker, and some of these
disorders took place 100 miles away
frem the nearest khan.
The khan will not take the aw into
its own hands at any time, declared
Mr.. Simmons. The only time it will
assist in running down lawbreakers
is when a request for it's aid is made
by officers Of the law. 1t is not neces-
sary at this time to attempt to en-
force laws through private means, the
speaker stated; that condition has
passed.
Mr.. Simmons was well received by
the crowd. He spoke for more than
an hour.

There can be no doubt about our
July 4th celebration-it was a grand
success. The great crowds who came
in from the surrounding country, and
all those from our. own community,
very obviously had splendid time and
there was mighty fine and friendly
feeling growing up among the masses
of people who were mingling together
on that day. ,
We believe this cultivation of good
will among all classes of people to be
one of the best results of such cele-
bration as we had here on the 4th.
This is certainly one field out of many
where Community Service can help

spent in this direction will bring us
thousand fold benefit in the future.

After the Honeymoon

Gone are ths- good old days when
John and Mary went bravely to the
altar and pIighted their trotn in the
face of the fact that their sole capital
consisted of a few silver dollars, two
strong bodies, four wiling hands and
two hearts that beat as one.
In the little hut by the side of the
road where a rude table, two chairs,
a stove, bed and few stone china
dishes.
That was all, except the bounding
JOY of their young hearts, which made
the hut a palace and John and Mary
king and queen of their sacred do
main.
They expected to share each others
burdens and they did. They expect
ed hardships, and they had them. They
expected joy, and they found it. They
expected success and it came.
And with success came looking
back to the old days of mutual toll
and sacrifice as the happiest days OF
their lives.
Now all this is changed. John must
have car and aMry must wear Is
carat solitaire. The hut by the side
of the road must be modern bunga-
low with rugs, china and up-to-date
parlor furniture.
Then, too this strain to keep up
with the procession often robs life of
it's simple joys. Mary's demands ir-
ritate John. Johns inability to meet
them irritate Mary. Clashes become
more and more frequent until bye and
bye their love dream becomes pain
full tragedy.
In this complex age it would be
difficult to go back to the old ways,
simplicity and honest content. But
emulation of the spirit of simplicity
that characterized the old days would
work wonders toward. restoring life
to a more normal plane.-Ex.

FRANK Wineskie Negotiates Loan of
S2OO,OOO for High Point Hotel
Company

That High Point is recognized as
one OF the most progressive southern
critics is s. cwn i'll the announcement
that the High Point Hotel Company
| mas obtained loan of 100000 from
the Metropolitan Life Insurance COM
pany at the interest rate of six per
cent: Frank Wineskie, president Of
the MOTEL company, negotiated he loan,
Wnlh covers a period of ten years.
Recommendation for the loan was
made after representatives of the
metropolitan had visited High Point
and learned Of the tremendous un-
dertaklng. They were favorably i'm
pressed WITH the fact that a mann
moth ten-story exposition building
been erected and that construction
work was we'll under way on oa.e of
the most modcrn hotels in the south.
Real1zlng that High Point is the home
OF citizens who believe in putting
across" anything undertaken, the New
York man did not hesitate in strong
neskie then went to New York and
ly recommending the loan. Mr.. Wi
made arrangements for borrowing
the money.
The announcement that the Metro
pol1tan Life Insurance company has
loaned such large amount of money
for public institution like the new
Sheraton hotel has caused much fav-
orable comment in the city. 1t shows
cconclusively that the company is will
ing to place money in the same ter
ritory where it conducts large busi-
ness in other words, the Metropolitan
people are willing to oan money to
the same community in which they in
sure hundreds of persons. The COM
pany is well established In this sec
ton. M. E., Block, of Greensboro, is
district manager, while N. L. Garner
represents the Metropolitan as local

Fine Report is
Made by French
Monthly Report of Clerk of Municipal
Court Causes Favorable

Comment
That the police department has
been active in enforcement of the
law and that Judge Royal has used
splendid judicial ability in imposing
fines is shown in the monthly report
of L. r. French, clerk of municipal
court, which was submitted Monday.
The report, which is the first sub
mitted by the new court, is for the
month ending June 80. 1t shows that
i,res totaling s705 were paid by de-
PENDANTS facing Judge Royal during
tie month. The total amount paid in
costs was S513.4O, meaning that 81
21S.4O was paid the court in both fines
and costs during the month.
Persons familiar with the work OF
the court and police department con-
@ider the report record breaker IN
consideration of the fact that Chief
Blackwelder and his men have been
on duty only 80 daysi A large num-
Der of defendants have been brought
into court during the past month and
the discretion used by Judge Royal II
irving cases has brought forth favor
able comment. Prosecuting Attorney
Albertson has also worked faithfully
with the police department in prose
cution of cases.
