Burglars Steal $100 Raised for High School Athletic Association, Dec. 5, 1925

Burglars Pay Visit to School Building. . . Got about $100 Last Night from Vault of Albemarle Structure

Albemarle, Dec. 4—The new city high school building was visited by burglars last night and around $100 taken from the vault. The Scotch Highlander Bank gave a concert in the early evening and the amount of money which the Athletic Association got from the proceeds of the sale of tickets was left in the vault, with about $30 of the school “book fund.” Superintendent Beam stated last night thar he took out around $200 that he had collected on tuition last afternoon and deposited it in the local bank and but for that, the burglars would have gotten that amount too. Bloodhounds were secured but as the break-in was not learned about until after a great many of the pupils had tracked around the building and over the grounds, the dogs didn’t seem to be able to follow the trail of the thieves. Superintendent Beam feels that he has a pretty close clue on the fellows, and he believes they are local people who know where the vault is and that there had been money left here last night. The vault door had been pried open with a claw hammer so the thieves could get their hands in. Entrance to the building was made through a window.

Jodie Williams, 58, Ends Life with Carbolic Acid, Dec. 4, 1925

J.L. Williams, Union County Man, Ends Life with Poison

Monroe, Dec. 4—Jodie L. Williams, a prosperous farmer of New Salem township, Union County, ended his life today by drinking a quantity of carbolic acid. Mr. Williams emptied the bottle, walked into the room where his family was, told them what he had done and added that it would all be over presently. He then drank a glass of water, laid down on the porch, and was dead in five minutes.

For some time, Williams had been depressed and apparently in bad health. His acquaintances believe that he was a sufferer from incipient insanity. He was 58 years of age and leaves a wife and eight children, most of whom are small.

Don't Skip Out Early, Says Salem College Editor, Dec. 5, 1925

Every year there are some girls who feel that they simply can’t wait to go home until everyone else is ready, but must leave at least a day or two soon, cutting classes in order to do so. It is interesting to notice that these girls are generally the ones who must need to attend classes. The school authorities always express disapproval for this rushing off ahead of time, and there is no reason why every girl should not co-operate with them. If one likes a school well enough to attend it, one should not be in such a desperate hurry to leave that one cannot wait until the appointed time.
