DILLON ENJOYS
MUSICAL TREAT.

Dillon music lovers enjoyed rare
treat at the school auditorium Mon
day evening when they heard Miss
Leola Lucey ands Messrs. Adrien
Freiche and Raymond Barry who
were representing the Edison Com
pany.
The musical was given by the Will
liams Furniture Co., local dealers for
the Edison Company, and those who
attended were charmed and delighted
for nearly two hours by these we'll
known artists in the musical world.
On the stage were two Edison phon-
ographs and each artist gave an exhi-
bition Of the ability of the Edison to
re-create the human voice or the
tones OF musical instrument so per-
fectly that the audience was not able
to distinguish one from the other.
The exhibitions were not only enter
tanning but little short of marvellous.
Miss Lucey sang along with the ma
chine and during one number, when
the lights were cut off while she
was singing, Miss Lucey slipped off
the stage and no one in the audienc,
was aware that she had gone. Miss
Lucey also sang a vocal solo which
charmed and delighted the audience,
Mr.. Freiche gave a violin solo which
was masterpiece and Mr.. Barry rem
dered a piano solo which was captivat-
ing. All three are great artists and
the evening was greatly enjoyed.

MANY WOMEN IN STATE PRISON.

There are more women in the state
penitentiary than ever before in the
history Of the penal institution, ac-
cordfng to a statement made at the
prison office. There are sixty-five re-
male inmates of the bastile.
Agitation has started throughout
the state for the erection of a wom-
ems prison. to be located probably on
farm. The women of the State are
especially interested in this, and 1t is
likely that a bill embodying this idea
will be presented to the 1922 Legisla-
ture, which convenes in January.
The latest additions to the female
colony in the State penitentiary are
the two members of the Cook family
from Lexington county, sent up for
life for the murder of Marceilus Cook,
head of the family. Mrs. Marcellus
Cook and her daughter, Minnie, are
serving the longest possible sentence
for this crime. These two women
have been given work in the woman's
quarters.
Along with the Cook woman three
men were sent up for the same crime,
Ira Cook, son of the man whom the
quintet killed, and Henry Wheeler
and James Barfield, Sr. Wheeler was
said to have been engaged to Minnie
Cook, but if he had such aspirations,
his hopes have been forever blighted.
He is to spend the rest of his days in
the mems quarters and Minnie is to
spend her life in the women's quarters
of the prison.
The women of the penitentiary are
regularly employed as are the men, in
the chair factory and also in the
laundry and other parts Of the prison,
where there is work they can do. They
are also paid for their work, as are
the men. The women's quarters are
not so large as those for the men, but
this is because they are few in COM
parison.

ENGINEER PICKS BABY
FROM BEFORE ENGINE.
Climbs Down on Pilot and Snatches
Child With TRAIN Moving.

Engineer John Furman, says q Lii
lington. N. c., dispatch was rounding
the down grade curve late yesterday
afternoon after pulling his mixed
train Of 30'heavy freighters and pas
senger out Of Kipling and was max
ing good speed toward Ellington.
Suddenly he heard hfs fireman ex-
clam:
"My God. look at that baby!"
Quick as a flash the engineers eyes
were peering down the track his train
was covering so rapidly. Something
over 100 yards ahead of the locomo-
tive sat a tiny child contentedly play
ing in the sand midway between the
rails. The shrill whistle from the
engine only aggravated the danger.
The tot stood up threw its hands into
the air, too frightened to move.
The engineer, throwing on his
brakes, reversing the engine, told his
fireman to "hold her down." and step
ped out on the running boards of the
locomotive, down on the pilot, Cow
catcher" and placing himself In po-
sition to reach the track, he waited
the fraction OF second he had to
lspare until his strong arm came
within reach OF the life he was deter
mined to save. 1t was all SO quickly
done that Engineer Furman was back
In his cab with the baby before
either he or his fireman realized that
the train had not yet come to a stop.
After rolling something like 100
feet. the brakes and the reverse gear
Of the engine brought the heavy train
to standstill. Looking ebout for
the nearest habitation, the crew soon
found that the baby was the three
year old child Of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
Collins, living a few hundred yards
from thei right-of-way. The engineer
laid the little one safely in the arms
of its mother. who said that she had
rust missed the child and was begin
ming to look around for It.
