JOHN MEDLIN DIES AFTER
BEING STRUCK BY AUTO
Hoyle Burrage Under Bond Charged With
Driving Car Which Fatally Struck the
Deceased.
John Medlin, well known citizen of
Concord, died this morning in the Con
cord Hospital, from injuries alleged to
have been inflicted by a car driven by
Hoyle Burrage. and Burrage is under s2*-
."00 bond for his appearance in court
here on June 15th to answer to charges
in connection with the case.
Mr. Medlin, according to information
given to police officers, was struck by
Barrage's car Saturday night about 8
o'clock at the intersection of iYffbin and
Phenix streets. He was rushed to the
Concord Hospital, but never fully regained
consciousness, and death came" this morn
ing about 2 o’clock.
Burrage was placet! under bond in the
sum of SI,OOO Saturday night and the
amount was raised to $2,500 yesterday
when attending physicians advised officers
that the injured man's condition seemed
less hopeful. The bond was arranged
without trouble.
Just how the accident occurred is not
fully known and it is probable that de
tails will not be given until the Burrage
hearing is held on June l*sth.
Mr. -Medlin was 05 years ofr age and
had been making his home with his
daughter, Mrs. Sid Smith, for some time.
He was crossing the street near his home
when the' accident occurred.
. He is survived by two brothers. A. B.
and M.- A. Medlin, both of this county;
one sister. Mrs. Dock Yow. of Union
county; and the following children: Mrs.
Smith. Mrs. W. L. Baker, Mrs. Ed!

Mr. Medlin was well known through
out Cabarrus and Stanly counties and
the announcement of his death occasion
ed much sorrow in his wide circle of rel
atives and friends.
BATTLE OVER TAX
REDUCTION LOOMS
Sentiment For Further Cut Crystallizing.
—Mellon Stands by Old Program.
Washington, June o.—Although the
next Congress will not convene until De
cember. the question of tax• reduction al
ready is forging rapidly to the front and
in the opinion of interested administra
tion officials, the ieisuet* involved are be
coming crystallized.
As in the case of the previous legis
lative battle over the Mellon tax plan,
officials believe the principal differences
likely to arise in any tax revision pro
gram will center around the amount of
the total cut and the manner in which
relief may be accorded in the various
brackets. On tipis assumption they base
their opinion that the question of sharp
cuts in surtaxes and elimination of cer
tain other levies such as estate, excise
and gift taxes, will provide the battle
ground.
Secretary Mellon was represented to
day as having in no way changed his
belief that lower surtaxes will mean a
greater volume of revenue to the treas
ury and. while it appeared there would
-be no stand for a maximum as great as
is carried in r the preset law. stubborn op
position is expected from many quarters
to any suggestion that the maximum be
reduced to 15 per cent. The secretary
has said that the 15 per cent, rate was
probably scientifically correct.

Nine Days of Torrid Weather Have
Taken a Toll of Nearly 450.
Chicago, June 7.—The death toll
from the nine days of hot weather and
storms from the Rocky Mountain to the
1 Atlantic seaboard tonight neared 450,
; while clouds and winds did their best to
1 alleviate to some extent the blistering
heat in which Old Sol has bathed the
furnace area.
I As the result of cloudiness, rains in
'some sections and winds in others, the
I mercury did not climb to the heights to
day that it had peviously reached but
weather forecasts held out little hope of
any considerable immediate relief, the
forecast for tomorrow for the section
affected showing general continued

THE CONCORD TIMES
DONALD McLEOD WAUCHOPE
BURIED HERE SATURDAY
Many Expressions of Sympathy For the
Youth Who Was Drowned in Lake
Wacamaw.
Funeral services for Donald Me Lead J
Wauehope were held Saturday afternoon ■
in the -Second Presbyterian Church of ■
this city at 5 o’clock. The body was]
taken to Albemarle from Whiteviile, N.
C., where he was drowned Friday eve
ning in Lake M acaniaw. It was met
there by an undertaker, Mr. trod Mrs. Gip
Sherrill and other friends and brought to
the home of the late Mrs. ,T. C. Thomp
son to await the hour for burial.
The funeral services wore conducted by
Dr. J. C. Rowan, of the First Presbyter
ian Church, assisted by Rev. Mr. Mclver,
of Poplar Tent. A quartette composed J
of Mrs. J. R. .Womble. Miss Hattie
Thompson. Messrs. C. H. Long and 11. E. i
liidenhour, Jr., sang two selections, ac
companied on the piano by Mr, John
Goodman.
Special friends of Donald acted as pall
bearers. They were; Maean Holbrooks,
Edward Martin, Albert Freeze, Rov San
ders, Roy Sides and Lewis White. Many
beautiful offerings attested the high es
teem in which Donald was held, not only
'll Concord, but in ■ Whiteviile among new
found friends. Outstanding among these
were the following: A pillow from the
Second Presbyterian Sunday School; an
other handsome design from the Interme*
diate Christian Endeavor Society of the
same church, a wreath from McKinnon
Presbyterian Church, another from the
Concord Choral Club, an immense heart
sent By the ninth grade of the Concord
High School, former classmates of Don
ald, a cross given by the Thompson sis
ters, Mrs..Gip Sherrill. Mrs. G. H. Long,
Mrs. A. M. Turnty, Miss Hattie Thomp
son and Mrs, It. P. Thompson, a design
from Mrs. Compton, of Charlotte, de
signs from Miss Estelle Hayes and Mr.
‘and Mrs. Carson, of Whiteviile.
Donald born April 23rd, 1000, hav
ing just pawed his sixteenth birthday.
The latter pert of his life was spent in
Concord, aS. his father, Rev. W. C.
Wauehope, hhd been pastor of the Sec
ond Presbytyripn Cliuvch here for more
than seven and had resigned his
pastorate liVty , April Ist, to take up his
new work at the Presbyterian Church of
Whiteviile. Most pf Donald's school days
had been spent in Concord, and no stu
dent ranked higher in the hearts of his
classmates and with the faculty than Dou
old. The younger set loved him for his
.unselfish heart, his ready wit, his spirit
of good fellowship pervaded every group
of which he was a member, the high
standards and ideals which he upheld
naturally made him the centre of any
group. The older set loved him for his
gracious, gallant manner, polite and cour
teous on. all occasions. This coupled with
an unusually brilliant mind, made him
the favorite of both old arid young.
The untimely death of Donald is being
mourned all over Concord and wherever
Donald and his parents are known.
Lake Wacamaw, ‘the place of the ac
cident, is known as the “wicked” lake. A
party composed of the Christian Endeavor
Society of the Presbyterian Church of
Whiteviile was picnicking Friday night
at the lake, chaperoned by Donald’s fath
er, Rev. W. C. Wauehope. Donald got
beyond his depth in the lake and was car
ried down by the'undercurrent. ~
Itev. and Mrs. Wauehope will be in
Concord for several days at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Gip Sherrill. Both are
bearing up nobly, showing more clearly
than ever the depth of their faith, and
even in such a dark hour as this has
been, were able to say “It is all right,
God never made a mistake.”
Donald was the only child of Rev. and
Mrs. Wauehope.
Out of town friends here for the fun
eral were Mr. Wilbur Boyce and Mr. and
Mrs. Carson, of Whiteviile. X.
She: “How long does it take you to
dress in the morning?”
He: “Oh, about twenty minutes.”
She: “It only takes me ten.”
He: “Oh, but I wash!”

WESTERN STANLY MEN
FIND VALUABLE QUARRY
Stone Found to Test With the Very
Best In State For Road and Building
Purposes.
Stanfield. June (I.—What is consider
ed by authorities as one of Stanly’s most
valuable natural resources has just been
brought to light by real progressives of
Stanly county. Not everyone knows a
good thing when they see it but this
cannot be said of T. C. Love and R. C.
Huneyeutt, for these wide awake men
have laid the foundation for a big enter
prise for western Stanly by their busi
ness-like investigation and development
of what promises to be one of the best,
if not the best quarry, in the state, or
the entire south.
I Accurate official tests show that the
rook is of a highly excellent quality. In
j facts Jasper L. Stueky, state geologist,
says in part:
"This report means that the material
passes, entirely satisfactorily, all the re
quirements for,crushed stone in general
conoeto and road building use. A stone
which has the French Coefficient of 10 is
satisfactory. Your stone has a coef
ficient of 21.1 which means it is an ex
cellent stone. 1 The material is entire 1 y
satisfactory for crushed stone for. all
sorts of general road and building pur
poses.” ‘ > •
It is of especial interest that the stone
is of the building grade as well as road
construction.
REDUCTIONS OF THE BUS
SCHEDULES MOST PROBABLE
Say Heavy Service Is Not Justified by
the Passenger Travel.
Raleigh, June G.—Reduction of bus
schedules on routes touching the larger
cities is expected to be asked of the Cor
poration Commission soon for the relief
of the operating companies, which find
the existing heavy service not justified
by passenger travel.
One line, running between Greensboro
and Raleigh, recently thrown into receiv
ership, by carrying too fevy- passengers
on too many trips, lias alre&dy petitioned
for permission to cut its daily round
trips from 14 to seven. • The commission
will hold a hearing on the petition with
in the next few days, and it then may
give consideration to the matter of sched
ules of lines on other routes.
The bus lines, since going under State
control, are now in the same category
as the railroads. They must have the
permission of the Corporation Commis
sion to operate, and fix schedules, and
they must likewise have permission of
the body to take off busses or reduce
schedules.
The operations, under State control,
were begun in March . Most of the
bus companies, especially those running
on well patronized routes, eagerly sought
as many daily trips as they could get.
The commission did its best to oblige.
On some routes, between Charlotte and
Greensboro, and Greensboro and Raleigh,
for instance, a half hour service was ar
ranged. enabling a traveler between those
cities to get a bus every 30 minutes of
the day.
The close schedules have proved con
venient enough for the traveler, but they
have hit the bus companies, for appar
ently there is not enough travel to keep
the busses filled up. The result is that
many busses make their daily runs with
many empty seals, and that causes a loss
in revenue which most of the lines are
not in a position to sustain,
Re-arrartgement of the schedules may
be found necessary to enable the bus
lines to get themselves on a safety pay
ing basis. ,
