Brown. ) A meeting full of interest was held by the Kiwanis Club at the local Y. M. ,C. A. on Friday evening, when addresses were made by Mr. R. D. Goodman, farm demonstration agent for Cabarrus comi ty. and Mr. NV. G. Brown, the new Road Supcrfntendent for this county. Tlie Kiwaninns were also fortunate in hav ing with them Miss Sarah Barnhardt. 'who furnished the music for the meeting in the absence of Miss Nell Herring, who •is out of tlie city. i Only a few matters of business were , brought before the meeting. Secretary Cline called the attention of the mem . hers to the approaching District Con i vent ion which will be held on August 16 and 17 in Wrightsyille; also to the Sandhills Peach Show at Hamlet on Fri day of next week, to which the Kiwanis are especially invited. At present about one dozen persons from this city have expressed their intentions of attending the peach show, which promises to be the largest and best ever held. Joe Pike called the attention of the club m the fact that the outside doors at the postoffice are locked every night at a comparatively early hour, thus work ing ail inconvenience on many persons. Upon passage of a motion. President I Spencer appointed Joe Pike, Boyd Grady and John S. Palmer as a committee to take up this matter with the postoffice officials and see if better arrangements cannot be made. Jake Moose, captain of Team No. 5 took charge of the meeting and introduc ed Demonstration Agent Goodman, who made an interesting talk on farm prog ress, and the problems that are now fac ing the farmers, who are at the founda tion of the country's prosperity and progress. He also called attention to the changes that are going on. and how ag riculture is being forced to compete with industry in order to hold labor on the farms. He also spoke for better home conditions on the farm, and that the farm homes he made more attractive. Mr. NV. G. Brown, the new road sup erintendent. in his talk, gave some facts as to the road problems of the county and told what is being accomplished. He stated that the Road Commission of the county receives approximately .$72,000 a year to keep up. the rpads, which in his opinion, ought to maintain the roads in pretty good shape. Cabarrus County has something like 900 miles of high ways. of which about 300 miles are main county highways, and ought to be kept in good condition. .The smaller cross roads and branch -roads should be kept in fair condition, but at present it will not be possible for the county with its present budget for road work to keep up the entire 900 jniles of roads. New and adequate road machinery lias recently been purchased, continued Mr. Brown, and the machines which came in on Monday give promise of splendid re r suits. In the first four days they were used, the machines practically rebuilt four miles of roads —or a mile a day on the average. The new equipment con sists of a large caterpillar tractor, a smaller tractol-. and heavy road ma chines. They are at present working on the Poplar Tent road, near the Iredell County line, and are giving splendid re sults. As' for its plans in the future, Mr. Brown said ftlie Highway Board tor this county lias one idea in mind —to give tin* county a dollar's worth of roads for each dollar it expends. The Commis sion. lie stated, is composed of very call able men. and Cabarrus County may consider itself fortunate in having such men at the head of its road work.

Newton. July 20.—The office of the register of deeds Thursday afternoon was a veritable gretna green parlor. Mrs. Josephine Taylor, and her two assist ants. Misses Alice Wesley and Mary NVoodNvard. suspended all other business to write out marriage license for fivx couples. The first two couples departed happily with*the treasured papers in the pockets of the bridegroom, but the third couple, an extraordinarily pretty girl and a handsome man, sent for Rev. George P. Drum and were married before leav ing the office. Before the congratulations were over, in stepped another good looking couple. The preliminaries were quickly conclud ed and Mr. Drum made them man and wife right on the same spot. As they were departing a fifth couple came in the door and Mr. Drum was engaged to repeat the ceremony for them, but they preferred a mores private wedding and accompanied preacher to his home on College Street.

THE CONCORD TIMES STILL ON THE WING. (By JOHN R~ELKINS). We "boys" have been rejuvenating this week with relatives and friends near Cook's Classing. Tuesday by special in vitation and transportation furnished, we spent the day with Mr. Ira Goodman and his family, taking dinner and sup per with them. Our niece. Mrs. Ida Graham, was with us as was also Mr. Jim Goodman, Ira's father. In due time Cousin Lilly got busy preparing for the repast and while she made no ef fort to "stew the dog irons." she did fix up in the most modern style two very sumptuous meals. fried chicken, ham. •vegetables, cakes, ice tea and tether goodies too numerous to mention, and wound up with more than a gallon of ice cream. »I always turn a cold shoul der to this form of dessert, for however good and popular it is. since my boy hood days it has befn rank "pizeu" to my system, and 't is a pity that it is, for it is popular everywhere. For nearly eight weeks my brother ami I have been going up and down and around Concord and vicinity visiting .relatives and friends, and tlx* latch strings have been hung loose, requiring only a pull and inside of the homes a big welcome lias awaited us. It lias been a sort of continual love feast, the relatives and friends furnishing the feasts and we "boys" the love. Since my itinerary began I have seen many very pleasant faces, and one or two faces, pardon me. feminine faces, that I woul(lu'4 object to behold again, but they tell me that when a lady says. u<>. the wilting process sets in. and believe me. I would rather stand before a cannons mouth, if the cannon whs not -loaded, than endure the discomfiture of a de feated lover. I am sorry that my stock of poetry suitable for a theme like this, has been exhausted. But I am digress ing. Farming Interests. NVliile at Mr. Goodman's the. day was consumed very pleasantly discussing va rious themes and walking over the grow ing‘crops. The two Goodmans, father and son. own about, five hundred acres of land* about one hundred and fifty be ing the sou's portion. Tlie crops of cot ton and corn were both excellent and in tine condition. NVould coin pa re favor ably with the best I have seen. In fact, within a radius of five or six utiles of Concord, 1 think the growing crops give a prospect of an abundant yield this full, and the fields are unusually clean and have been well worked. It is well to stress these facts as they hearten the public and make things more hopeful in tin* future. The soil of Cabarrus coun ty always good for culture, is better today than fifty years ago. made so by improved modern methods of cultiva tion and by the liberal use of fertilizers. The idea of migrating to Texas. Illinois, or Alabama to farm, with such oppor tunities as exist here in soil, climate and seasons is beyond doubt a mistake. This year, up to this time. Mr. Charles Winecoff. of No. 4 township, has realized nearly three hundred dollars from one fourtii of an acre in tomatoes, and fed bushels'of them to liis hogs. This is a specimen of what can be done. Georgia. Texas. Mississippi, and California, can any of you bear ft ? Os course it takes soil, brains to direct and energy, to ac complish these results, but tin* oppor tunity is given. Bethpage Presbyterian Church. Late in the evening on the return trip. Mr. Goodman brought us by Bethpage Church, which is nearly ten miles from Concord. Only once before had I ever been to this sjiot which was fifty-six years ago, at the funeral of a cousin. Within a half mile of this church was the home of my mother before marriage. Margaret McKinley, daughter of John McKinley. Mother's parents, as well as herself were Presbyterians and members off Bethpage Ol*|roh. Rev. NValter Pharr was her pastor. After marriage my father being a Methodist, she join ed the Methodist Church and lived and died a member of the same. Although a Methodist myself, warp and filling. I always entertained a very high regard for that great Christian de nomination. and. as m.v mother was of that faith, I think I sprang from mighty good stock. I have numbers of relatives which lie in the soil of this old and well known cemetery. I am a Methodist but m.v heart pulsates with a feeling of fel-, lowship with all orthodox Christian de nominations. for the mime makes us neither better nor worse. My Texas brother, William, thinks there is not a dull moment here and is as joyous as -a partridge calling "Bob White." The Eli rd Case. Albemarle Press. The case of State against J. J. Efird resulted in a verdict of guilty of simple assault upon a female which carries as a maximum penalty a sentence of two years at hard labor. The sentence was given by Judge Stack. Attorneys for the defense filed notice of appeal, and Mr. Efird is out on bail, under bond fix ed at .sl.(>o<), pending the decision from the Supreme Court. The case was ably fought by counsel on both sides. But for the fact that the defendant is a man over sixty years of age. and the offense for which lie was tried was alleged to have been commit ted nine years ago, the state would have had a stronger lurfd upon the jury. The jury evidently’ wanted to see fair play. If society was outraged as alleg ed and a parent’s indiscretion towards his daughter was of so flagrant a nature as charged, the jury thought the matter should have come up for hearing at an earlier date. The motive seems to have fastened itself around the desire the part of the aggrieved 'daughter and a more or less indigent husband to extort money from the defendant in the case, using the old criminal charge as a wrti pon for bringing it about. Efird confessed to certain indiscre tions and his own evidence would seem to justify the verdict of the jury. How ever, the law says that misdemeanor of the nature charged must be tried within two years after the offense is commit ted, and if the charge is given this minor classification, it would seem that there is good ground for throwing the ease out of court, since it has more than run the statute of limitations.

NEW CAFE OPEN The Carolina Case Would Be a Credit to Any City.—Connor Brothers Pro prietors. One of Concord's long felt needs was tilled here Saturday, when the Car olina Case, which will rank well with any in this State, threw its doors open to the public, The Carolina Case, located at No. TO South Union street, opposite the Court House, is the result of the activities of J.

The building in which it is located lias been remodeled com pletely, and’all the furnishings and fix tures are new and modern in every re spect. One shipment of the fixtures, in cluding cigar cases and a few other ar ticles. has not yet arrived. but the management decided to wait no longer for this shipment, and will add them later when they arrive. The kitOhen. the part of a case on which most depends, will be efficiently handled by Mr. J. H.

The lunch counter will be in. charge of Mr. George B. Jackson, a young man with a number of years’ experince in this kind of work. Mr. Jackson and his family have moved here from Green ville, South Carolina. The Carolina Case is a very attract ive place, and the Messrs. Connor are to be congratulated upon the splendid addition they have made to Concord’s business houses. There will be twelve tables,, including (three private dining rooms for ladies; also a ladies wash room, and a public lavatory. The com fort of the guests will be increased by the large exhaust fan which lias been placed in the rear of the building, which will change the air in the dining room every few minutes. Additional ceiling fans are also installed!, as well as brack et and ceiling lights, which will add much to the attractiveness of the place. The usual case hours will be observ ed by the Carolina Case, which will con form to the hours fixed by the City Al dermen. Making a Goat of the Weevil. Mooresville Enterprise. John Purvis or Purvey, a well known farmer who lives several miles out ol town, was a caller at The Enterprise office Tuesday when he related an un usual story and exhibited an authentic specimen of the terrib.e work the boll weevil is accused of. He told the news man that several days ago he found a guinea, nest near an old house some dis tance below.his barn, aiid there were 3N eggs in the cluster. On examination he found that some of the eggs had been punctured and after a very close inspec tiong he determined that the little white grubs he wound inside the shells were boll weevil grubs. He also stated that his guineas had practically abandoned the nest on account of the pests. The shells exhibited in The Enterprise office held a certain kind of varmint, but whether they were boll weevils our expert was not able to determine.

July 111.—’When North Carolina gained fourth rank among the United States in total value of improved crops." says a statement is sued by the United States and North Carolina Departments of Agriculture Co operative Crop reporting service, "the middle western states refused to believe if. saying that we were not diversified and did not have the acreage. Tiny thought that our crop was almost en tirely cotton. "The report of Fra #i; Parker. Agricul tural Statistician for the State and Federal Departments of Agriculture, issued recently, showed that corn oceu pied decidedly the largest acreage of any crop and that here was quite a large diversification among which are cow peas, soy beans, peanuts, velvet beans, small grain and other crops especially for hays. "Soy beans and peanuts have put North Carolina on the map in no small sense. Only a short time ago we pro duced more soy bean seed than all other states combined and even now have a distinct lead in these. The July re =l>ort of this year shows that of our acreage, there is planting the follow ing: 47 per cent, for seed: 31 per cent, for hay and 22 per cent, for grazing and turning under. * "The same information showed that 43 per cent, is 'planned alone as solid acre age while .">7 per cent, is planted with corn and other crops. The practice in the eastern* counties is to plant a row of soy beans in the middle between wide planted corn. This permits of a har vesting machine passing through for threshing out the seed. The July crop report indicates two per cent, increase compared with last year and the pres ent crop condition is Hi per cent, of nor mal. “Cow peas at one time made North Carolina famous, hut due to the low yields and high costs of harvesting, tjicy are gradually beans, which are more productive and easier to handle both for seed and hay. It is found that the cow pea acreage is intended principally as follows: 30 per cent, for peas, .»2 per rent, for hay. and The Kitchen Cabinet of Day. All modern convenieiev- !!••••• in price.
