It seema’certain now that the Cran ford'case in Albemarle will not be completed before the latter part of tills wcck- Hie State still had a number of witnesses to present when the trial was resumed this morning after the week-end recess, and the defense is expected to as many witnesses as does the State. Arguments in the trial will consume two days, it is believed, so it seems certain that the case will not be con cluded before the last of the week if i then. * . A numher of Concord persons have ; attended the trial, some of them kpow- j ine Cranford personally. Others were j attracted by the character of the tes-J timony offered. .The testimony of a negro named Leake will get much attention when the defense begins, it is intimated. The negro told of aiding Cranford bury another negro and also said that several days ago he dug up the grave and found some shoes, some teeth and some hair. The defense will contend, it is said, that the grave is nothing but a well in which garbage has been dumped for some years. Every new development in the case is watched with keen interest by Con cord people. MISS AND MISS WAGNER ARE HONORED Named Department Superintendents of Southern District of the Chris tian Endeavor.

GLORIA PROVES SHE CAN SHOOT AS WELL AS ACT Wins Women’s Prize For Best Score and Beats Husband By Ckpe Mar gin. / Gloria Swanson’s friends are usea to seeing her do the , unexpected thing, but the general public knows her only as a film star, and therefore gets a surprise when she displays versatility in some special line. Per haps some of her more intimate friends may have known that she is fond of shooting, but the hotel guests and cottagers at Pinehurst. North Carolina, where the exterior scenes fer her latest production, "The Un tamed Lady,” were made under the direction of Frank Tuttle had never heard of that accomplishment. Con sequently, they were considerably amazed when she won the weekly prize offered by the Pinehurst Gun Club for the best rifle score made by a woman. Henry Emery, who manages the Pinehurst property, and Fordyce Blake, one of the guests at the Caro lina Hotel, arranged a competition exclusively for the film folk, with ! prizes for both men and women. Miss Swanson, Mrs. Tuttle and Mrs. Mathews, wife of the assistant director, shot for the women’s prize, but the star had a walkaway, neither of the others shining very brightly. Mr. Curry, for the club, handed Muss Swanson a handsome silver dish as the special prize, and also pinned on thp front of her sweater the little gold rifle that is the regular weekly prize. But these two were not all her prizes. On Saturday her husband, who rather fancies himself as a shot, remarked: “You think you’re pretty good, don’t you? Perhaps you chink you can beat me.” “I’m absolutely certain of it,” she replied with a smile. The result was a $25 bet, and each shot four targets When the battle was over and the smoke had cleared, it was found that Miss Swanson had rolled up a scare of 132, beating her husband by three points. She might have done .even better, but there were so many crowded in and around the clubhouse that steady shooting was sojuewhat difficult. In the face of this nerve-shattering battery of eyes, her score was even the more remark able. Star Theatre today. No, 10 Township Sunday School Con vention.

Staging a dramatic ninth inning rally, the kind that one usually reads of in fiction, Gibson jumped on Meadows, Winston hinder, who had had them eating out of his hand all i afternoon, and knocked over three runs to overcome a two-run lead and win by the store of 5 to 4, Saturday at Gibson park. With Meadows pitch ing exceptionally good ball Gibson seemed hopelessly lost Us they went in for their last inning with the score 4 to 2 against them. Only ability to fight with their backs to the wall en abled them to bring in the runs nec essary to win. Simmons, first up in the eventful ninth, receiveed life when Green threw his gropnder over Carter's head. Hatley doubled to center, sending Simmons to third after Wood, hitting for Kluttz, had struck out. Both scored and the count was knotted when Basinger hit a perfect two-base hit to right. .Tarrett ended the game with another two-base hit, his knocking a paling off the fence in left and scor ing Basinger. The crowds started leaving the stands as soon as they saw the ball leave Jarrett’a. bat. Both Pitchers Good. Until the ninth, Meadows had a slight advantage over Simmons in the pitching duel. He had allowed only six hits and two runs, one a four base knock by Ellerbce for Gibson’s first run in the fourth, aud the other a result of three errors and a single by Basinger in the fifth. Simmons al lowed all seven of the hits off his de livery during the first five innings. Only twelve men faced him in the last four innings, which is well-night per fect pitching. He fanned seven bats men against Meadows’ four. Southskiers Score First After making three hits in the first two innings without scoring, the Win ston Southsiders pushed two across in the third. Carter was safe when Ilelk errored his grounder, was sacri ficed to second by Fuller and scored on Nick’s long single to center, Nicks went to second on Burgess’ infield out and scored when Meadows duplicated his own hit to center. Green made the third out, Belk to Kluttz. Ellerbee Hits Homer. With two down in the fourth, Eller bee cracked one on the nose for a home run over the left field fence for Gibson’s first run. Smith followed with a single to center, but Kluttz flied out to Fuller. Winston Increases Lead. Carter lined out a pretty single to left to start the fifth inning for Win ston, went to second on a passed ball by. Watts and scored a moment later on a single by Fuller. Fuller went to thirUj.on Nicks’ infield-out and scored when Simmons elected to throw Bur gess out fit first, rather than make the play to the plate. From that pojnt on Simmons became a complete puzzle to the boys from the Twin-City. The last four innings that Simmons pitch ed were as pretty an exhibition of pitching as has beA seen here in many moons. Gibson Scores Another in Fifth. Hatley was safe in the fifth on an error by Hauser, went to third on Basinger's single and scored when both Boggs and Green threw wildly in attempting to catch him. No more scoring was = done by eith er side until Gibson's half of the ninth when the memorable fusillade of hits brought “home the bacon” and gave Gibson one of the most interest ing games played on the local lot this season. Briefs. The Southside Mills team only missed winning the city title in Win ston by one game. They have a very good team, though a little off in their fielding Saturday. Many jieople wanted to know if the pitcher Meadows were related to Lee Meadows, Pittsburgh ace, who made his start in Concord many years ago. The Gibson players thought he must be during the early part of the game. Belk had an off day both at bat aud No hits and three errors are most unusual for Fritzie who is one of the best hitters and fielders on the club. Sloop and Brown did a good job of umpiring, only one or two minor kicks being registered against their decisions. Simmons never looked better than during the last four innings. Twelve easy outs out of twelve attempts is about as good as they get. Neither pitcher gave a base on balls. Several games are being arranged for this week. * Box Score: Southside AB It H PO A E Carter, lb. 4 2 111 0 2 Fuller, cf. 3 11 2 0 0 Nicks, c. 4 1 2 4 0 2 Burgess, rs. 3 0 O 1 0 1 Meadows, p. 4 0 2 0 1 0 Green, 3b. 4 0 110 2 Boggs.

Asheville, July 18.—The vigilantes of 1 ictotia place are up in arms! That is, they are stiltl up in arms, for they arose in wrath Tuesday and convinced their neighbors that a-Ku Klux Ivlan is absolutely unnecessary in their communitj. In fact, it would be superflous. And what s more they don’t need white hoods or sheets to conceal their identities, because they are proud, rather than ashamed of the action they took in driving an undesirable visitor away from their neighborhood. The man had been a frequent caller at the home of a married woman there. An enraged man drove up to the pokce station in a bespattered auto mobile aud asked for two policemen. B hen asked what lie wanted with them, he replied that it was to quell a riot. So immediately the policp men began arming themselves with all weapons available as they shivered in anticipation of the approaching battle. Had Broken Watch. The man who asserted that lie was a victim of the machinations of the mob showed the officers a broken watch as evidence of the violence- of his assailants. The police themselves saw yellowish and white splotches on the autcmobUe aud on drawing closer they detected malodorous fumes which suggested spoiled eggs. But they move,7 bravely on. pre pared for the worst. Meanwhile, the victim of the mobb related to them with mountain rage the details of his assault. N When the officers of the law reach ed Victoria place, they drew their re volvers. their blackjacks, and left their knives uuoppned in their pock ets. To their astonishment, instead of bemg greetedytiy fin angry mob Jhey were met by a half dozen unarmed women. "Where's the riot?” one of the offi cers queried as he glanced apprehen sively from side to side. “What do you meat, riot?’ 'the bold est of the women replied. "If you mean us, you might as well turn around and go back. We ain’t going to start any trouble but we ain’t go ing to let any man disturb our com munity by blowing his automobile horn or come near killing one of our children while he’s riding around.” Reason For Attack. A further inquiry revealed the real source of the trouble, however, and explained the. reason for the united attack 011 the man. A Komeo-Juliet aiTair has been in progress in the community for the last year, according to vigilantes. A mar ried man, who has several children, has made a practice of calling on a married woman, who also has small children, every morning about nine o’clock with clocklike regularity. His usual proceuure, me woman said, is to drive over the street sever-1 al times, blow his horn vigorously! and then stop his car near the foot <>fj the hill. 111 a few minutes the worn-, an, obviously the onq for whom thej signal was given, emerges from her home, pats her children on their heads and goes to meet her alleged para mour. The v:gilantes see them greet each other affectionately and then ride away. A few hours later they re turn. The ear stops a few blocks away from the house aifd the woman \Calks back to her home, and all is calm again save for the smothered \yhikpcrs of her neighbors. The vigilantes decided that the ''scandal” had been going on long, enough.
