REYNO MAN INJURED
WHEN TANK EXPLODES

O. II. Halford. aged about 40, was
badly injured at Reyno Monday morn
ing when an empty" gasoline tank
exploded.
The tank, of 600-gallon capacity,
had formerly been used as a reservoir
for a filling station but bad been emp
tied and set aside more than year
ago. An open pipe hole at each end
was thought to have been sufficient to
allow the escape of all gas and fumes,
and the owners of the tank were as
tonished when it exploded.
Mr.. Halford, a prominent Reyno citi-
zen, struck match on the tank near
an open pipe hole. Without any warn
ing the tank exploded, throwing Mr..
Halford violently against brick build
ing nearby. Both ends were blown
out of the tank and the front of Tezzie
Smiths store building was demolished.
DR.. j. +. Smith, who attended the
injured map, reported that no bones
were broken but that he feared inter-
nal injuries. AT last report it was
said that Mr., Halford seemed to be
satisfactorily pulling out of it.

SCHOOL PROGRESS is
SHOWN IN EQUIPMENT

The school board of Holmes Special
School District recently called e. New
ton Ellis of this city, who placed al
most $5OO.OO worth of new furniture
and supplies in the school for this
year.
Only few days ago the Sanders
District, which now has a new build
ing, purchased approximately 100000
worth of furniture and supplies.
The point is this, that the rural
schools of Randolph county are on the
upward move. Where could you have
found a rural school ten years ago
spending 100000 in one year to equip
the school? The people care now de-
manding that their school be so equip
ped and up-to-date as to demand and
command the services of the best
equipped and efficient teachers.

ANGRY WITH PARENTS
GIRL SHOOTS SELF

Miss Lillian Doyle, aged about II,
is in a serious condition at the home
of her parents here as the result Of a
self-mfiicted revolver wound. The at
tempted suicide occurred at the fam
lily home here last Sunday evening.
1t is said that Mrs. Doyle had trim
med her daughters bobbed hair earlier
in the day and that the girl became
angry when she found that it had been
trimmed too short to suit her. Later
in the day, while the family was at
supper, the girl expressed desire to
go ont with some of the other chill
dren to visit relatives. Her parents
objected Lillian went up stairs and
shortly afterwards the family was
startled by the report of revolver
from her room Rushing up stairs
they found her lying across the bed
with blood streaming from her left
breast
The bullet, from a 3S calibre re-
volver entered her body near the heart,
pierced the left lung, and came out
just below the shoulder blade. The
bullet was found imbedded in the mat
tress.
Members of the family ran scream
ing to the windows, calling for help.
Medical assistance was hurried to the
home and the girl soon regained con
sciousness. Because of the failure of
the wound to bleed on the outside, in
ternal hemorrhages were at first an
ticipated and her life was despaired Of.
She slowly improved, however, ana
latest reports are to the effect that she
is well on the ROAD to recovery
1t is said that when the girl regain
ed consciousness, short time after
shooting herself, she told the family
that she had been contemplating sui
eide for some time, but that since she
had committed the act she regretted
it and hoped that she would recover.

TO ISSUE RANDOLPH
COUNTY DIRECTORY

The Star Herald is preparing TO be
gin the preliminary work on new
directory for Randolph county, similar
to the directory issued in 1910.
For the statistical and other out
side work we are very fortunate in
having secured the services of d. Law
renee Dalton, prominent young man
residing in the northern part of the
county. 1t is his earnest desire, as
well as ours, that the information in
the directory be complete and, for this
reason, he will interview, personally,
every householder in the county.
Mr.. Dalton has been supplied with
blanks to be filled out by each family,
regarding the location, names, children,
state origin, religious preference, etc,
of the family. When the directory is
completed it will contain the above
information concerning every family in
the county.
1t is our hope that every person in
terviewed by Mr. Dalton viii give him
the information desired, fully and ac-
curately, in order that no errors will
find their way into the book and that
the information the book is designed to
carry will be complete.
The directory will contain, in addi-
tion to the information above outlined,
history and map of Randolph county,
number of statistical facts concern
ing the towns and the county, illustra-
tions, the business announcements Of
all the principal business and profess
sional men of the county, and many
other features of interest.
The 1910 directory went into the
homes of nine-tenths of the people of
the county and for that reason was
the most successful, as well as the
most economical advertising medium
ever established in this section. We
intend to make an effort to place the
new book in every home in the coun-
ty, assuring advertisers of a mighty
big value. Figuring this advertising
on newspaper basis, it is worth, to
the advertiser, twenty-six times what
the same space in newspaper advertis-
ing is worth-aid our advertisers say
that newspaper advertising pays big
dividends.
The book will probably be ready for
distribution about the first of Novem-
ber.
