An Opportunity. _
Are you interested as a good citizen of
Concord in seeing things worth while in
you* city? If so. let us rally to the op
portunity we now have, and secure the
big Redpath deluxe program for next
season. Mr. "Rill" Wright, the Red path
representative now in our city, says it
may be a long time before ('oncord will
have another chance to secure a place
in this tiig de luxe circuit, because only
a limited number of cities can he visited
each season. Only three or four cities
will he added for next year, Gastonia be
ing the first to sign up last week. Concord
being the only other city in North Car
olina to he given this opportunity.
A well known editor said, "It is true
of every community that has a Rcdpath
program, that they leave a community
better than they find it. The Rcdpath
programs Bring out tin 1 best in one, makes
one better satisfied with his community,
only more determined to brace himself
for the struggle and for greater effort. It
inspires one's divine nature, cultivates
one's best impulses, stimulates ones love
for music, art. poetry, for children —for
home, for his Creator. The Rcdpath
helps him to renew his youth, to laugh
away his troubles, his peeves and his
prejudices. It gets a man out of himself,
out of his rut, and sends him or licr
hack to their daily tusk refreshed in mind
ni.il spirit."
Any community is a better community
if its people will drink in the inspiration
and stimulus of a Rcdpath program,
which always contains the best in drama,
music and lectures.

Rats are on most farms. Once they
get inside the house —look out. Rats kill
infants—biting them is not unusual.
Nursing battles attract rats. Break a

PROGRAM OUTLINED
FOR LUTHERAN SYNOD
Lutheran Riotin'! hood Movement to Re
I.an lulled Preliminary to Opening the
120th Session.
The 120th annual convention of the
United Evangelical Lutheran Synod of
North Carolina will be held in St.
Mark’s Church, Charlotte. J. F. Grigler
pastor, beginning November fith and con
tinuing through the 9th. Rev. Jacob
L. Morgan, of Salisbury, is president cf
the Synod and Rey. H. B. Schaeffer, of
Kings Mountain is secretary.
The convention held in Kings Moun
tain last year was the largest in the
history of the synod. At that conven
tion 211 churches were represented by
114 pastors besides the delegates. Ap
proximately 30,000 souls constituted the
numerical strength of the synod then.
Due to the withdrawal of a small con
ference located in - South Carolina to
unite with the “South Carolina synod
there are now only about 2.1.000 mem
bers.
The Lutherans of North Carolina are
located principally in the Piedmont
section of the state. Rowan county
loads in number of churches and mem
bers with 29 churches and 20 pastors.
The next four leading counties are Ca
tawba. Cabarrus, Gaston and Lincoln,
with 20. 11. 14 and 10 respectively.
Established Lutheran congregations are
found in only 2S of the 100 counties of
the state. It is hoped, however, that
within the next few years there will be
at least one Lutheran church in every
county of the state. Working toward
this end are two home missionaries, one
in the eastern and one in the western
section of the state who are devoting
their entire time to this work. The
greatest drawback at present is the laek
of pastors.
A new feature of the convention this
vear will he the meeting on the tirst day,
November fith, at 2:30 p. m..of the State
Lutheran Brotherhood, of which Hon.
Bismarck Capps, of Gastonia, i« presi
dent. This organization is composed of

ABOUT A CHAUTAUQUA.
Concord New Has an Opportunity to Se
cure the Redpath.
Quite a number of our citizens have
been asking why Concord does not enjoy
the same privileges and .opportunities in
the way of a tirst class Chautauqua
namely the "Redpath" that other lend
ing cities of the state possess. Many of
our citizens have expressed themselves
by saying that Concord can support a
Chautauqua and would do so if the peo
ple could get the very best to be had in
That line.
In this connection it might well to
say that the citizen* who are expected to
take the lead in securing a high grade
Chautauqua must not think altogether in
terms of what individually expect to get
of such an institution. They must think
in terms of what they, jis citizens, who
are interested in everything that builds
up the city, are contributing to the com
munity. The possession of the ability to
do something splendid for one’s city and
community carries along with- it an ob
ligation.
There is another thought along this
line. It is the duty of the leading spirits
of every community to see to it that life
is made ns full and rich for the average
citizenry as is possible to obtain. This
means that a 'well rounded community
life desires and demands something in
(lie way of educational recreation and
amusement of a high order.
There are scores of our people who
can and do afford a trip to New York
and other large cities occasionally where
they can enjoy the best Jo be had in
the way of entertainment. There arc
many who go to Charlotte and other
nearby cities often where they get-splen
did entertainment in the way of high
class plays and concerts. However,
there are hundreds of Concord to whom
these opportunities seldom, if ever come:
and whose natm»es demand an occasional
treat in the way of high class recreation
and amusement. To see to it that tlib
great bulk of our citizens are afforded
the best educational recreation and
amusement that the talent of the coun
try can produce means a richer and full
er life for all the people of pur commun
ity. ,
Let’s trust that those of our citizens
who can do something for Concord along
this line will avail themselves of the
tirst opportunity to do so. in securing the
big Redpath De Luxe Circuit,
