Girls Win Basketball Game in David
son.
The girls of the Concord High
School came into their own Friday
evening when they defeated the Dav
idson High girls on the Davidson Col
lege gym floor, by a score of 10-17. In
this game they flashed a brand of bas
ketball that lias not been equalled by
them this season. The Davidson* girls
jumped into an early lead when Miss
Shelton, their captain, caged three
beauties in she ‘first few minutes of
play. The passing of the Concord
High School girls was rather ragged
during the first quarter, which ended
with a score of 8-3 in favor of David
son. However, the locals came back
strong in the second quarter and with
heavy and careful guarding and bet
ter pass work, ran up their own score
to 0 and held their opponents scoreless.
Dialing the second half both teams
fought like tigers so that when the
final whistle blew, the score was a 14-
14 tie. Three more minutes were add
ed to break the tie, during which time
those on the! side lines were held in
great suspense. Concord added three
points to her score and everything was
just right for Ihe locals until David
•son stepped in ajul tied the score
again. Finally, in the last few min-'
uses of play. Dick shot a beautiful
field goal which won the game for
Concord.
Individual scoring honors go to
Blanche Dick, who shot seven field
goals and three fouls. The guarding
of Hethcock and Winecoff broke up
numerous tries by the Davidson for
wards, their work being nothing short
of a brilliant defensive. Broome play
ed an excellent game at center and on
account of lier steady floor work, was
a big factor in winning the battle.
The game was witnessed by a large
crowd, the Concord “rooters” compos
ing a good part of it.
The high school girls hook up with
the Greensboro aggregation, (last
year’s champions) next Friday night '
•if the Y This should prove the hard-,
est fought game of the season, and]
the girls intend to enter the fray with
a do or die spirit. ;

BARTLETT PRAISES ONE
LOLL WEEVIL REMEDY
Prominent Carolina Man Makes In
vestigation in Florida.
Goldsboro, N. (’., Feb. o.—Following
a trip to Burke county, Georgia, where
an investigation wan made of a cal
cium arsenate preparation, known as
"Hill’s Mixture,” used in combatting
the Ih)11 weevil, N. G., Bartlett, sec
retary-manager of the Eastern Caro
lina (’handier of Commerce, today
rendered a favorable report at a
meeting of farmers, merchants and
hankers of this section of the state in
terested in producing cotton under
present conditions.
The IIill’& Mixture, said to he com
posed in part of calcium arsenate, mo
lasses and water, is used in spraying
tlie cotton, and Mr. Hartlett, with oth
ers. was authorized by the organiza
tion to go to Georgia, where the prep
aration has been in use for several
years, to i-eport on the result.
"I made a very thorough investiga-*
lion, along with parties there at the
same time from another state,” said
the secretary. “We questioned the
farmer who used the mixture and the
farmer who didn’t. We questioned the
banker who made loans for the buy
ing of the mixture and the merchants
who aided the farmers in trying this
method.
"In the first place, we found that
Mr. Hill had been at work on this
method for two or three years on his
own farm and we further found that
others a round him had heeiiL. trying it
out for the same period.”
Mr. Bartlett said that a number of
■■farmers using the mixture stated they
had achieved good results through the
use of the mixture and \yore planning
to use it again this year. Some of
planters, he said, were going to mix
their own calcium and molasses, as
follows: 2 pounds of calcium: 2 gal
lons of molasses and 1 gallon of wat
er. enough to spray three acres of
cotton.
Burke county is planning to plant
more cotton tiiis year than last, ho
said. After presenting the results of
his investigation, Mr. Bartlett request
ed the delegation to take the matter
under consideration and decide wheth
er it wished to advocate the use of the
mixture in this section of North Car
olina.
