T I In Building Formerly Occupied By Dollar Store Freakish Lightning Plays Many Pranks On last Friday morning about 6:tfO the home of Mrs. Night Knight on the Threatt-Carson Company place a abort distance southeast of town waa atruck by lightning, the bolt passing through all the rooms, doing some damage in each, but leaving no definite evidence of where it entered, how it made its circuit of the fourroom, metal covered, square-built house, with a hall running through the middle, and the exact point of its egress was just as indefinite. Indications were, however, that it probably entered through the top of the chimney dividing the two rooms on the south side of the house. The cook room, which is also used as the dining room, faces east on this side, and the room on the west end is a bed room. All the family, except Ora Lee, a boy 14 years of age, bad eaten *nd left the table, which is just far enough from a window at the east end of the room to allow a bench to be placed ut the table to seat members of the family. Ora Lee was seated on this bench. The studding to the south side of the window, to which the window frame waa attached, was struck and the piece that was split off wan splintered into small fragment*, and the boy was tremendously shocked by the bolt, the wonder being that he was not killed. It was utterly impossible to tell the direction the lightning took when it left the room. The bed in the room just to the front of the kitchen room was completely knocked apart and one of the bedposts splintered into fragments and scattered until they could not all be located. Across the hall opposite the kitchen room, a hole wfis shot through the ceiling of the wall dividing a bed room from the hall, about five feet from the floor, and the ceiling above the hole was torn loose from the studding at the ,east end of the hall and the ends were left swinging outward from the wall. In the room on this side and just below the hole in the wall, stood a bed and at the foot of it was another bed, with a narrow space between the two beds. On each of these beds a child lay asleep, but neither was shocked or in any way injured. The sitting room just to the front of this bed room, had the wall ceiling completely damaged near the top on the west side. A fragment of the splinters was shot from this side and imbedded itself endwise between the close joint of two pieces of ceiling, with the outer end sticking upward. Just, how it managed to ricochet to such a position is inexplicable. On the mantel in this room was the figure of an almost full-size rabbit made of a paper composition, which had its ears and toes shot off and the body toppled over on the mantel, but did not fall off. A large doll in the same room was torn asunder. Members of the family were in this room but none were affected in any way. Nor were any of the members who were at different parts of the house, affected, with the single exception of the boy mentioned at the beginning of this writing. Sills underneath one of the rooms and under the northwest end of the porch, and the brick pillar under that end of the piazza, showed the force of the lightning stroke. It would be difficult to give an accurate description of the incident just as it really was. Hut it seemed that Providence shielded the lives of the inmates of the home. When Ora was shocked L)r. L. T. Gregory was summoned and gave him treatment to which he responded, and he is notv about normal again, and able to do a little work.?Kershaw Era. Fortune Found In Home of Old Miser Philadelphia, April 28.?When he was alive Paul Schelley, 79, wore old clothes held together with strings and old wire, did without socks, neck ties and handkerchiefs and shaved himself with a knife and tallow soap, lie seldom fipent money. People thought him queer. Soon after his wife died 25 years ago neighbors almost forgot his name. They were used to calling him the "miser." The "miser" did nothing to break the legend that grew .about him in the house in which he made his lonely home, j He often boasted: "I can make n jwash boiler of soup for 15 cents that feeds me for a couple of weeks." | Schelley was last seen alive April j 1. Twenty-seven, days passed be' fore he was missed. Last Saturday police broke into his house and found his body sitting in a chair. With the miser s ' death the legend of his , hidden wealth grow stronger. Slightly incredulous, police were forced to guard the house, and yesterday began a search for what they did not expect to find. The * legend was true." In a dilapidated safe, police found $20,00( in faded currency, stocks and bond.< worth about $200,000 and moldy deeds to valuable real estate. Be hind pictures other stocks and bondwere found and pinned to the bacl of n five-year-old calendar on th< kitchen wall police found $500 ii bills. The congregation of the First Bap tlst church of Shelby, N. c? broke i record recently by subscribing i\ four day a $100>000 to build a bb educational building in connartio with the church. Rev. Dr. Zeno Wal is pastor. The canvassers for th subscriptions subscribed $62,000 a their first metting. Max Gardnei campaign manager, gave the la?

C., is painfully dying from rabies. He was bitten by a dog some time ago, and the pet dog j was killed after it also bit the dying', boy's brother, but no attention was given the bites until little Roosevelt was convulsed -with hydrophobia the other day.
