HAPPENINGS AT

J. F. Spainhour Among those Who
Have Delivered Helpful Addresses
to A. T. S. Student Body.

Mr.. Shuford Duckworth, a cousir
>of DR.. j. D. Rankin of the Training
School and friend isited DIR. Rankin
the past week and were at thee school,
looking over the plant.
! Miss Whaley, representing the Red
Cross was at the Training School on
the 18th and talked to the student.
teachers in regard to the important
work of this great organization.
Hon. j. F. Spainhour of Morgan
toni was at the school on the 10th
and made most thoughtful and i'm
pressive address on the responsibility
of the teachers and the State in re-
gard to children and schools of the
state. He also brought forward the
proposition that when teachers shall
have taken certain specified course
preparatory to their work they be IL
censed as teachers just as doctors,
lawyers and other professions are.
He believes and impressed the fact
that the. public schools are not the
place to teach vocational subjects.
that this should be reserved for the
higher institutions He insisted that
the old school law should be abolish
ed and new law passed making sew
eral important changes. Among these
to lessen the work required of the
state board of education and the com
plication of Certifcation and allow
much of the fund used here to go
to improving the schools. He strong
ly impressed his'belief that these mat
ters are worth while and should be
needed. He has given a close study
to these matters, having been a sue
cessful teacher himself for years and
who knows but that he is fully right
in his conclusions, They are worth
considering.
Prof. j. A. Williams of Burlington
and now teacher in the summer
term of the Training School talked
at the Baptist church on Sunday on
the obligation and necessity of work
for every one from the Savior's word
II must work." etc. He made it evil
dent that everyone must work if
they meet the requirements of the
scriptures for their own good and for
the good. of others.

WARRANT ISSUED. FOR. MAN
SUPPOSED TO BE SPECIALIST

About four weeks ago a stranger
appeared at Mrs. Matte Harmon's,
widow and after looking at her
eyes told her she would be paralyzed
in her head unless she bought glasses
from him and treatment which he
would furnish from his. eye hospital
in Charlotte. Said he was DR.. Wal
ker of Charlotte was Mason, and
did convince her son o. J. Harman
that he knew something of Masonry.
and on the strength of this he sold
her some glasses and the treatment
to be furnished from Charlotte in a
week.
Tuesday of this week as DR.. A. w.
Dula of Lenoir and w. ]. Horton,
Of Ferrell, Pa. were passing Villas,
Mrs. Hartman waved them down and
told them of her trouble and how use
less the glasses were and asked DR..
Dula to fit her, and told of others
that he had charged as much as $40
and as Mrs. Harman was a widow
and her husband a Mason he only
charged her $4,000.
DR.. Dula has telegraphed the chief
of police in Charlotte about this man
and is setting the law in shape to
catch him, who is evidently the same
kind of man who came through here
two years ago and got as high as
$500 from some for miraculous treat
ment and glasses which never came.
A warrant has been sworn out for
this man, and DR.. Dula says that
the N. C. Optometirc Society will
pay reward of $25 for information
as ohis whereabouts so that he may
be convicted for swindling. It is lik-
ely that the name given was fic-
titious one as no such DR.. Walker
is registered in the Clerks office here
as required by law, but his methods
of course will be the same anywhere.
Mrs. Harman says he was about five
feet, ten inches tall, weight about
100, dark hair and eyes, clear COM
plexion with sandy mustache and had
q foreign accent. His companion was
decidedly foreign dark and smaller.

MANY ARRESTS
MADE LOCALLY
County Jail Practically Filled With
Violators of the Federal Prohibi-
tion Laws and Other Statutes.

UP until just prior to the fourth
OF July there had been but one ar
rest made during the few weeks Ex-
Sherlff Moody had been holding down
the job of Chief of Police, and Mr..
Moody had been heard to remark
many times about the excellent be-
havior of the boys around town. But
just as things were sailing along so
smoothly, and the sheriff had no
doubt about decided that his position
was too easy, the glad and glorious
fourth comes along, and with it the
usual quota of "red-eye" The first
arrest came on the 4th, and from that
the policeman, assisted sometimes bv
the Sheriff of the county and Deputy
George Hayes, began a systematic
round up of the offenders, the high
est number in Jail at any one time
being FL. A few have been bailed
out from time to time, but at pres
ent about 18 are still boarding with
Jailer Hayes.
Not all of the offenses were COM
mltted right in the town, nor were
all those arrested boys of this place.
They came from as far away as Char
lotte to fall into the carefully laid
nets of the local officials, and the
luckless ones included the pilots of
the high powered cars as well as the
"Lizzie." Five arrests were made for
speeding, two for check flashing and
all the others had to do with the
liquor traffic in one way or another,
from having few drinks in the stom
ach to transporting gasoline can of
the liquid in an auto. Business has
been so rushing with the officers that
we cannot give this week an accu-
rate list of the offenders and the
crimes committed
Never before in the history of the
town have the citizens shown such a
spirit Of cooperating with the author
tiles in putting down lawlessness.
Chief Moody has unlimited support
it seems, and intends to do his duty,
as do all those associated with him
in the execution of the law. 1t would
appear that at present Boone might
be the wrong place to get gay. The
speed laws and those governing the
passing of worthless checks will be
more strictly enforced in the future.
