month# in j.n e.ih today after thoy
hud entered a ,,lea of nolo contendere
of involuntary niunaluutflUer ,n
Oriiiijfe county criminal court under
Judge W. A. Devin.
A civil settlement already had been
made with the mother of Max |>euder^rass,
12-year-old Chapel H,U boy
who died from injuries after beinc
knocked down by a car driven by
Furches and occupied by Bowie on
the Chapul , Hill-Pittaboro road on
May 30th.
1 he students threw themselves on
the mercy of the court and were sentenced
to four months in jail, to be
hired out on payment of the costs.
The fathers of the young men kired
them out and tonight they were on
their way -back home.
The estate of the Pendergrasa boy
will receive $11,000, thereby ending
all civil liabilities. Parents of both
the boys attended the trial.
Bowie is the son of former Judge
Tam C. Bowie, prominent North
Carolina lawyer. iFurches was quarterback
on the university football
team last year.
The students were alleged to have
struck the boy down with their car,
they being intoxicated at the time,
and to have continued on their way
without stopping to render aid. As a
result they were charged with manslaughter,
driving an automobile intoxicated,
and failing to stop to give
help after an accident 4on the highway.
The latter two cases were nol
prossed, and the sentence of the
judge covered the plea of nolo contendere
to involuntary manslaughter.
m ^*t,To -Do When Snake Bitten.
With the hot weather, comes the
call to the camps and hikes to the
woods and the great outdoors. There
is much pleasure in outdoor life, but
there are also dangers of which
snake bite is one that should not be
overloked.
There is a preparation called Antivenin
that is an antidote for the bite
of the rattlesnake, copperhead, and
moccasin. It is to be administered
hypodermicftlly. Before going on a
camming trip, a package of this antidote
should be secured, or at least
located at the nearest drug store.
The antidote should be given not
later than 12 hours after the bite,
and the earlier it is given, the better.
Campers hunters, fishermen, and
people just hiking through the
woods should use all precautions to
avoid being bitten by snakes. Heavy
shoes and heavy canvas legging, or
leather leggins, or puttees, should be
worn for protection. If you are so unfortunate
as to get bitten, try to secure
a doctor, and the Antivenin at
once. The?b!te should be cauterized
immediately with hot iron or carbolic
acid, or nitric acid. Do not, under
any circumstances, give whiskey or
alcohol. The patient may get well
In spite of the whiskey, but not on
account of it. Qivq several doses (teaspoon
to tsiblfspoonful) of aromatic
Spirits of ammonia, cord the leg, and,
every few minutes, loosen the cord
for 20 seconds, then tighten the cord
again. This tends to let a small
quantity of the poison into the system
at a time, 'while, otherwise* it
wodld spread through.-^*. Register,

1'ittataurgh, Pa., Aug. 21.?Detectives
tonight were scanning meager
I bitB of evidence in an effort to learn
I what fear possessed Dr. Harry K
I 1 >Hj?j>er. 27-year-old physician, as he
I went on a fatal ride into the country
I near here with un unidentified
I stranger on the man's pretext that
I his wife was ill.
I Doctor Dapper never returned from
1 the nocturnal automobile ride. On a
I secluded road, he was shot to death
land his father, Henry J. Dapper,
I vice president of the Fort Pitt BrewI
ing company was struck across the
I head. The father said their assailI
ant escaped in Doctor Dapper's autoI
mobile.
I When the stranger called at Dr.
I Dapper's office in Carriek, a suburb,
I last night, the doctor, while apI
parently not reluctant to accompany
I him, was afraid, for he telephoned
1 his father and asked him to go along.
I Mr. Dapper said today his son had
I never made a similar request before.
While Mr. Dapper was in a seI
rious condition ut his home sufferI
ing from shock and lacerations
I about the head, detectives questioned
I him repeatedly in an effort to learn
1 the reason for his son's fear.
| Some color was lent to a robbery
I theory when Dr, Dapper reported
I losing a wallet, containing valuaible
I papers but no cash.
I Authorities also investigated the
I possibility that some one, with a
I grievance against the doctor might
I have committed the crime.
The dead man's youthful widow,
I who was nearly prostrated by her?

tor Dapper's care. <She said, howJ

How To Avoid Lockjaw.
Lockjaw, or tetanus is caused by a
germ. The home of this germ is usually
in stable manure. Any wound
that particles of stable ma mire are
lialble to get into may cause lockjaw.
Wounds received while traveling on
the roads where horses - travel oraround
lots or staibles are always
" dangerous, and anti-tetanus (lockjaw
serum) should be given. Take no
chances.
Only a few weeks ago, not over 50
miles from where I am writing, a
child died from lockjaw. This child,
while playing in a yard where some
stable manure had been scattered to
improve the grass, got a small place
skinned on his leg. The wound became
infected from the germs in the
manure, and the child died of lockjaw
in a very few days. Auti-tetanus
| serum would have saved him, if given
j within 24 hours after the wound was
made.
Every one has heard that sticking
a fusty nail in the foot would cause
lockjaw. It might, or it might not.
It ig not the rust that causes lockjaw,
but germs on the nail. There
might or might not be germs on tbe
nailj but my advice is to take no risk,
but have your doctor to administer
anti-tetanus senna atonce.?Dr. F.

MYSTIFIES POLICE
Negro Lad Does Remarkable Magic.
(Stunt*
Winston-fialem, Aug. 21.?Forsyth
county law enforcement and judicial
officers have encountered something
they hardly know how to handle, j
That something is Edward Dillard,
15-year-old negro boy, who has mastered
several of the arts known to
magicians.
Dillard was found on the Belews
creek road with two older negroes,
a gallon of corn liquor and an old
automobile. Rolbert Williams and
Mack Fox were remanded to jail on
charges of violating the prohibition
laws, and Dillard was held for the department
of ptfblic welfare.
Dillard mystified officers in the
courthouae. Deputy Sheriff Bill
Henry handcuffed him securely, he
thought. Without a moment's hesitation
the little fellow freed himself
of the handcuffs, which happened to
he a guaranteed brand. Dillard
threw coins into the air, no one could
tell where, to find them in the pocket
of a dignified official.
While his magic was entertaining
he drew the greatest applause as a
contortionist. Edward could throw
his stomach down to the region of
fris belt buckle and thus support
heavy weights. He ventured the assertion
an automobile could be driven
over his stomach in that position
without injury. He claimed to be
"half dotfble jointed and slip jointed,"
Dillard hailed from Jacksonville,
Fla., and reached High Point with a
bunch of show troopers. He left the
show there, tya-weeks ago, he told
Judge M. C. MoKaughan, of the juvenile
court, and came to WinstonSalem.
While there he has been entertaining
groups of negroes and had
been on that mission when apprehended
with the other negroes and
the liquor. Judge McKaugnan reserved
decision.
^The airplane of mail flyer John
Kytle, forced down near Old Fort,
N. C., last week in t/he storm when
he hit a mountain top, was found late
Saturday night with the wings in a
tree and the nose in the earth on
the brink of a bluff 50 feet high. A
misstep by the pilot on getting out of
the fuselage would have caused his
death by falling over the cliff.

Davis Birthplace Destroyed
Fairview, Ky., Aug. 26.?Fairview,
birthplace uf JefTeraon Davis, president
of the Confederacy, was just
a settlement tonight, its claims of
being a town destroyed by the fire
which rased its business section
early today.
Tourists urriving over the Jefferson
Davis highway to visit the historic
scenes albout the little village
found the ten-acre memorial park
and Jefferson 'Davis memorial unharmed.
The old home where the
southern leader was born also was
safe, (but the rest of the town presented
a dismal picture.
Most of Fairview's 450 inhabitants
were standing among the ruins of
what had been their downtown section.
Three stores and a dwelling
made up that part of the town which
was destroyed. The fire origin of
which could not be determined,
broke out in a grocery store and
quickly spread to the dwelling and
another store nearby. Crumbling
walls of the first (building demolished
the third store. Damage was estimated
at $15,000.
Officers at Fairplay, Col., this week
learned that Mrs. Anna Deeler, 69,
had kept her son, Harry, 45, chained
in their little log cabin for the past
eleven years. One chain was attached
to. his leg and another was around
his waist. The son was released from
an insane asylum eleven years ago
and the mother feared that some
harm would befall him if he became
separated from her.
A marble statue of the late Senator
Robert M. LaFollette, who ran
third in the presidential election of
1924, is to be placed in Statuary Hall
?America's Hall of Fatme?in the
Capitol in Washington. The unveiling
of the statue will not occur
until next year.
Anderson county children to the
number of 1,482 havj* 'been imraunV
ized against diptheria by serum in
the last six weeks, and several hun- ?
dred more will receive the vaccination
soon. The campaign was sponsored
by the Women's clubs, the
Parent - Teachers association, the
county health unit, and the cost was
met by the federal law and the local
physicians. Anderson is the only
county in this state to receive money
under the Sheppard-Towner law. No
charge was made parents for vaccinating
the children.
