R. H. Lewis, or the Anderson property on the east side of the Country Club trolley line beyond, the Royster residence, will likely be recommended to the Board of Trustees of Meredith of the institution. College as the site for the location Both these sites have been carefully surveyed by the committee named by the Board to recommend a place to which the college will be removed, and in both the committee has found many features that make them desirable places for the location of such an institution as Meredith College. Both ample acreage, and both have natural advantages that make them desirable.

It also is several hundred acres in extent and runs down to Crabtree creek. It has splendid elevations, and topographically is in every way acceptable. It abuts on the trolley line, and would be accessible from the city.

Phone 2412 When Henry Page Shot Up Treasurer Lacy's Freight A Forty- Story of How a Cheap, Mean Cigar Came Mighty Near Ruining the Careers of Two of the State's Finest; Marse Henry's Son Hears Some Ancient History "Say, did your daddy ever tell about the time he shot at me?" demanded State Treasurer Lacy of Banker Henry A.

Page, the other afternoon when the young financier was about to take leave of the of the Exchequer' after transacting some business. "No-0-0; he's never mentioned it," replied the shooter's hesitatingly. "You mean he actually---why--I thought you and he-" "Ych, I mean he shot at me, standing close as you are to me--didn't he ever you about it?" For once in his life, the imperturbable face of the ndhill capitalist Host somewhat of its imperturbability. He Hushed a little, maybe. He couldn't understand it at all, how his the most peaceable of men could shoot at the High Treasurer of the State.

All his life he had heard his father speak very highly of the Chancellor. "It was forty years continued Mr. Lacy. The young banker looked measurably relieved. Then it couldn't have been as bad as it sounded.

His father had never been hung for it, and Mr. Lacy bore no visible scars of the conflict, if conflict there had been. He settled back in his chair, and was very evident that Mr. Lacy had been seized a with one tho delightful retrospective moods that his friends so like. Wasn't An Elder Then.

He wasn't treasurer then, nor was Marge Henry Page the Lower in the State that he is today. Mr. Lacy was an engineer on the aboard, plying between here and Hamlet on an old "lightwood-knot burner," and Mr. Page was a young man in the lumber business down at the place that is Aberdeen today. It was a wild and somewhat wooly country, and most people carried artillery.

Mr. Lacy was not an Elder in the Presbyterian church then, and Mr. Page had not Lien elevated to the stewardship in Methodist church. One morning when he headed his knot burner toward Hamlet, Engineer Lacy had a cigar and one box of matches. Somebody had given him the cigar, and he lit it as he was pulling out of Raleigh.

He lit it again at Method, and at Cary, and so on down the road. Late that afternoon he borrowed another box of matches from somebody, and at Sanford he lit it again, and so on. Aberdeen found about an inch gone off the thing maybe an inch off each end--one chewed off and or the other burned off. Nightfall and Aberdeen found the Engineer with just one match left, and the same cigar still refusing to become a part of a general conflagration. Mr.

Lacy had not then acquired sufficient grace to become an Elder in the Presbyterian church. He was sorely peeved. Moreover, he was plumb mad, and when he was mad, he said things that sounded plumb scandalous. Nor was Marse Henry steward in the Methodist church then. He also was given to saying things.

The Last Match Gone. Piloting the knot-burner out of Aberdeen, the Engineer--not Elder--lit his last match and applied it to the Habit Nujol will give you the healthiest habit in the world.

It caught the figure square between the eyes, sending up a cloud of sparks.

Some Fireworks. The figure spluttered, and said things. He pulled something out of his overcoat pocket and pointed it at the engineer.
