Thumb miniature circus performance

Had Failing Out
Fairbanks told officers, they said,
that he had been hired by Good at
$3.50 per day. He indicated there had
been falling out between them whlle
in Winston-Salem, from which place
they came here Sunday for a per-
Torrance in the Henderson hlgh
school Monday morning and at EPSON
in the afternoon.
The youth reiterated he was born in
Baltimore, but at the age of five was
taken by an uncle, whose name he
did not .divulge, to Eldorado, Cal.
alter he worked two years for the gov
eminent in Miami, Fla.
Fairbanks said he got acquainted
with the Goods when they were all
with a carnival at Lincoln, Nebraska,
last summer. When the season ended,
the Goods went to Texas, and Fair
banks followed, but to another town.
They met again afterwards, and
Fairbanks got the job of driving for
the couple He had been with them
seven months, he said.
Fingerprints Identified
Fingerprint experts from Raleigh
came here today for further tests and
to make photographs of the spot along
side the rear of the High Price Ware
house on Mitchell street, block Off
William, where the truck-trailer was
parked Sunday night, and where the
axe-slaying occurred. The experts
said the fingerprints on Mrs. Goode's
purse conceded exactly with those
taken Fairbanks. The purse was
found Under the warehouse empty
save for lipstick.
Several Theories
Some officers incline to robbery as
the motive for the Staying, and THINK
the fingerprint on bloodstain OF the
purse indicates the youth was ran
sacking it for money after the attack
on the Goods. Still another theory is
that Good knew something of the
.tpast" Fairbanks appears to be
shielding, and may have threatened
to talk, and that the boy may have
been getting him out of the way for
that reason Still others have thought
the Goods may have found Fairbanks
rifling their property, with an argu-
ment following. Another thought adj
vanced has been that they may have
ordered him to remain with the truck
trailer while they went for restau-
rant meal Sunday night, and returned
to find him absent, and then censor
ed him when he did return, with the
affray resulting. There is nothing de-

finite about any of these theories.
Authorities have learned that Mr..
and Mrs Good went to the Capitol
Cafe for dinner Sunday evening, but
after being presented a menu card
and glasses of water had been brought
they got up and left without the meal.
Some think they may have overlooked
their change and returned to the
trailer for it. But that, too, is mere
speculation.
Officers located $92 back Of a linen
closet in the trailer after receiving a
Geographic message from Mrs. Goods
mother at Cason, Texas, where she is
said to be postmistress, and in which
she advised the Goods kept their cash
back of a medicine chest. Fairbanks
had only a dollar or two on his per-
son when arrested. He is said to have
stated. however, that he understood
the Goods had several hundred dol
lars with them. Only the $92 has Fseen
found, however, so far as has been
learned.
Evidence Discovered.
Officers reported finding the axe
and l.roken handle far up under the
warehouse, with some shavings clean
ed from the animal and bird cages
Clothing believed to have been chang
ed by Fairbanks after the axe at
tacks, and which had contained blood
and which appeared to have been
partly washed out, was found under
another wing of the warehouse some
200 feet distant.
The youth was taken by officers to
the Granville county Jail Monday aft
ernoon after he had written in his
own handwriting and signed the con-
fession he gave officers.
There were some limitations today
that a preliminary hearing for Fair
banks would be arranged about Fri
day of this week before Mayor Henry
T. Powell in police court, laut this
was not definite. Whenever the hear
ing may be held, however, it is ex-
pected to be more or less routine,
with the defendant bound over to
Vance Superior Court, special term
of which has been ordered for the
week of February 81.
The axe-slaying was one OF the most
brutal crimes ever to occur here, and

STATE LAGS WITH
TREATING INSANE
Study by Commission Ranks
North Carolina Near
Bottom of States
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In The Sir Whittier Hotel

Raleigh, Jan. 18.-Despite its pro-
gress in industrial and manufactur-
ing development, agricultural impor-
lance, and progress in public educa-
ton, public welfare and other Gull
tural induces, North Carolina con-
tinues to lag far behind most of the
other states in the matter of psychia-
trio and mental hygiene facilities.
The commission, which made 4
study of mental health in North Car
DINA and submitted its report just
prior to the close of the Ehringhaus
administration, commented on this
fact and there were offered several
specific recommendations as to what
should re done about it. So far, not
one of the recommendations has been
put into effect, so far as this CORES
pendent is aware.
The commission, which was headed
by DR.. Frederic M. Hanes, of Durham,
and which listed such influential
members as Victor S. Bryant likely
speaker of the next North Carolina
House, DR.. Raymond S. Crispell, Dur
ham; Louis Graves, Chapel Hill, and
E. Mcneil Poteat, Jr, Raleigh, point
ed out that there are two courses
open to the State-one to pursue a
pinchpenny, niggardly policy which
will leave the State at the foot of the
column; the other, forward looking
policy, involves meeting the challenge
squarely by preventive activities and
adequate early treatment measures
calculated to restore the largest num-
Der of handicapped people to produc-
tive life"
The commission ranked the State
as follows, relative to it's sister
states:
State hospital cost per capita, 18th
in 1882, 47th in 1884; patients per
physician 44th; patients per nurse and
attendant, 43cd; patients per employee
And; first admissions per 100000
population, 34th; hospital population
per 100000 population 41st.

At informal summer weddings in
small cities, and at almost all summer
weddings in the country, white trou-
sers and blue coats are typical. At
summer weddings. also, tuxedo coats
with white waistcoats (or in very hot
weather, white dinner coats) are worn
without gloves.
A question am constantly asked is
whether a bride may wear a white
dress and veil when her wedding is
to be in the very early morning. or
when not more than a score Of people
are to be present, or when it is to take

supper, the custom of waiting at the
back of the church or out in the
vestibule and receiving the congratula-
tions of the congregation has grown
greatly in favor. At large weddings in
the city this is never done, unless the
bride is the daughter Of the clergyman
and it is impossible to invite all his
parishioners to the rectory.
Among the questions that l am
most often asked is whether it is pos
sible to have any reception at home
when the decorations and menu are
meager. The answer to this is. OF
course, that friends are certainly not
coming to the wedding because they
are interested in the decorations or the
menu; rather, they want to be at the
wedding to give their personal good
wishes, and perhaps to take a piece
of cake home to dream on.
Preparations for reception amount
to no more than choosing the best
available background to stand against,
and providing the simplest of refresh
ments. First. then, the background
may be an arrangement of flowers or
branches, or it may equally we'll be a
pair of heavy curtains. Plain dark
material is usually more effective than
a light color or a figured design.
The natural impulse of most people
is to stand against mantel. If this is
done, then all the ornaments should be
taken off and plain branches put in
their place. Vines should also hang
down from the shelf to hide the fire
opening.
And now about food: There must. of
course. be something in which to drink
the health of the bride and groom -
fruit punch probably, as substitute
for champagne. And there must be a
wedding cake. This can be made at
home and iced at any bakery, for a
wedding cake is one confection that
must be professionally finished.

The modern trend toward simplicity

800 THE avalanche of questions
from brides whose weddings are
several weeks away. shall
reply as fully as l can, par
ticularly to those asking about real
changes, or false rumors of changes, in
wedding etiquette.
Beginning therefore with the we'd
ding stationery. let me speak of an
innovation. which appeared during
the depression. 1t was that of an invi-
tation (or announcement and envelope
in one, with sides left open and there
fore permitting no card enclosures. 1t
shows no sign of reappearing.
Today, as always, vellum paper,
not too deeply cream. and enclosed
without folding in two envelopes, is in
best possible taste. If economy makes
it necessary. one envelope is permitted.
but a turned-in flap to save half
postage is very bad form. You can.
however, save a certain amount of
expense by using numerals for exam
pie, 1898" - instead of writing out
all numbers. When numerals are used,
a large sized plain script called "Old
London" is particularly smart.
Although wedding procedure is often
simpler today than yesterday. correct
procedure still follows convention.
Correctly, at the end of the process
sional, the ushers take their places on
either side of the chancel steps and the
bridesmaids then stand in front of
them. Correctly. the recessional is the
professional in reverse.
At a properly managed wedding the
best man goes Immediately after the
ceremony to the vestry. the maid of
honor walks down the aisle alone, the
bridesmaids follow two by two. and
the ushers come last At the reception
