We desire to call attention to the notice which appears in another! column of this paper regarding va- 1 fancies for the coming scholastic j year in Citadel scholarships. Appli-' cants are required to fill out certain' blanks, and wo would advise our am- I bitioux boys who are completing their c.?""ps this year, to write' to the Citadel authorities for the1 necessary forms. The need today for well tfained men' 'n all departments of life is more exigent than ever before, and at the C i tad el a young man secures, through the military discipline as well as the class room work, a training which and hencpPrOVeS ^ C\a"Ce for succe?8 I and hence for service both to his com- I in unity and to the State. By means' of the scholarships provided by the! State an opportunity is presented to 1 the young man of ability, but of limit- i ed means, to secure a training which1 would otherwise be impossible.

Wednesday aftainoon's Redpath Chautauqua program with his distinctly unique and highly entertaining lecture on 'The Folklore of George Washington." The lecture, based upon information gained through ulmost countless hours spent ut the many historic shrines along I the Kappahannack, bared the soul of i the great American as few biogra-! phers have even attempted. . j Washington as a youth, his firstlove, his love for his mother and his mother's own divine spirit of humility, weie unfolded before an audience* that swayed In complete accord with' the speaker from his husky-voiced moods toward the moments of lively ' and wholesome laughter. A bit sentimental was Mr. Anderson's plea to get buck to a Washington-age faith in the same Bible and Father of today but none, neverthe-1 less, ventured to doubt the sincerity of his words. Mr. Anderson possesses a person-1 ality as different and as pleasing aii the subject upon which he lectures. I He stood with bared head before the , disheveled tomb of Camden's Agnes of Glasgow and strolled in worship- j ful thought along the still-standing | ramparts of the Revolution. Mr. Anderson admitted that he liked his game of golf but failed during a whole afternoon to use the golfer's popular swearings. Before dinner he declined a highball "if it contained whiskey"; nibbled his fried chicken pit-nic style, and declared that he had never learned to smoke. Mr. Anderson is the author of "The Blue Moon," "The Red Ix>ck," and "Thunderhawk." The first two were published by Bobbs-Merrill and both later released for moving picture production. "The Blue Moon" was also entirely reset and published from new plates in England, a distinction thar comes to but few American writer?. After writing twenty years for the wastebasket, as he confesses, Mr. Anderson resigned his position as a Hoosior schoolmaster and set out on a sort of literary pilgrimage that took him into every state in the Union. He has crossed the Mississsippi river at twenty-seven different points. whi?<? there is no railroad of any importance in America upon which he has not at one time or another been a ! passenger. N. C.

C. yesterday, was shot to death by a posse in an outlying section of Florence! county late today. 1 he police statement said that an unidentified sheriff from North Carolina. accompanied by two other men and Sheriff Rowell, of Marion county, South -Carolina, overtook Smith on a [highway till near the Pee Dee river, j The fugitive was described as reachling for his hip pocket as he dived over the embankment when one memIhw of the posse opei^P fire. The bullet was said to have struck Smith in the hip, coming out over his heart. He died about 20 minutes later police said. The identity of [the man who fired the fatal shot was j not known here. Citizens of Bladen county, North j ( arolina, headed- by officers and i guided by bloodhounds, had been trailing Smith through Marion and j Florence counties since last night.

The United Confederate Veterans iu J convention at Little Roc Ark., dc y elded last evening to hold their 1#2# reunion at Charlotte. It will be in May, probably May 2. After severul other cities had withdrawn, Atlanta and Charlotte were left a? contenders for the privilege ' of be in# host to the veterans next year. The oratory of Kev. Albert Sydney Johnson, Major Heath, of Monroe, Clarence Kuester and Anna Jackson Preston was turned on the convention which began to cheer the speakers and the adherepts of Atlanta were put to rout. \Vhen the balloting had progressed' far enough to show that Charlotte would have a big majority, Atlanta moved to make it unanimous which was done. Mayor Francis Marion Redd, the son of a Confederate soldier, says Charlotte will show its appreciation of the honor of entertaining tKfct-Veterans by the way it will do it. The chief argument of Charlotte at Little Rock was that the reunion of all the Confederate veterans had never been held in North Carplina, and Charlotte found that the prestige established by North Carolina all over the country in the last five years was of great assistance as an attraction. Governor Smith couldn't put over the four-year term i,t New York, but he thinks he knows where one can be had.??Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
