The demonsrratton will be in charge of Miss Cephalic Lewis of the Home Service Department of the Southern Gas and Power Corporation. Miss Lewis will demonstrate the famous Oriole Gas Range, equipped with the Automatic Oven Heat C onfrol, a de vice that frees the housewife from the kitchen and enables her to put the whole meal in the oven and—forget it. Mr. Goodman is very anxious for the people of Concord to avail them selves of this opportunity to see the oven heat control demonstrated, and to hear Miss Lewis on the economical use of gas. He invites them to bring their cooking problems to her for advice and solution. Miss Lewis will be in Concord until August Ist, and after the demonstration will be available for home service work to those in need of her services and ad vice. free of charge. There will be an attendance prize awarded each afternoon.

Ihizes will be on exhibition in the show win days of the Gas Company Saturday af ternoon and until award. A eonlial iuvitation is extended to all to participate in the demonstra tion and award of the prizes. Story Telling Club Organized Here. The National Junior Shakespeare Story Telling Club, through the as sistance of local teachers, has formed a branch or association here with Misses Louise Miller and Lula Um berger as leaders. The club is educational in purpose and is designed to acquaint every grade school child with the works of the famous bard and in such away that it will appear like a play to them. At the same time it prepares them for high school English studies, while those who are unfortunate enough not to advance beyond the grades will have a working knowledge of the classics. The plan consists of story hours for the children when groups will meet and tell Shakespeare stories in simplified form. Clubs for each grade will be formed. Then the grade clubs will compete for the honor to repre sent their sehool. then school cham pions will contest with those of other schools for the town honors. Prizes will be offered at various stages of the competitions and diplo mas will be awarded each child which finished the prescribed course. The grand finale in each town is a Shakespeare pageant or Shakespeare program having the children portray the Shakespeare characters. The national association now reach es into practically every state and has been immensely successful. Aside from the fact that members of the 'club are improving their education and mastery of English, there is a social feature. Parents and teachers have endorsed the plan with enthus iasm. Parents are requested to send their children to the Y. YI. C. A. for the story hours on Saturday afternoons 3 to 4 o’clock. Bridge For Visitors. Mr. and Ylrs. Douglas Smith were the honorees Friday evening when Mrs. L. A. Fisher entertained a few friends at a small informal bridge party at her home on YVlifte Street.

The engineer was awake, though it was only 5 a. in. We rushed up to him ns he "greased the pig”—we recall there is some such railroad term, and this being a railroad story, there must be rail road terms. "What is it?” we Remanded, tak ing a last turn in our cravat and drawing it nealy through a knot to complete our 4:30 a. m. toilet. The engineer stopped greasing the pig. He let the oil can hang at his side and greased the ground. At length he said: "What ,is what?” (The Southern Railway engineers are not only po lice and handsome, but grammatical). "Yiy God!” we eclaiined. This engine, of course.” The engineer waved his oil can ] menacingly at us and then down to- j ward the rear of the train. "Say.” he said, “you don’s supect me of having done this, do you?” The “this” that he referred to and that we were inquiring about was nothing more nor less than a green, trimmed in black and other colors, engine that was at the head of the train. The sight of it had knocked any remaining dreams that we might j have had at that hour of the morning j completely out of our systems and j we could but gape and try to find j the reason why. “No," we came back in a flash (our mind works like a steel trap at 5 a. in.), "we don’t suspect you of having done this, but we would like to know who did do it and why.” The engineer finally motioned to ward the rear of the train. From his guttural sounds we found out that one of the ‘trig" men of the system was occupying a berth and might be found. * AH was semi-darkness. Even (he Pullman porter who stood on the steps was darker than the run of ’em. "George,” we said to him, "we want to talk to the high inonkitty-inonk you’ve got locked up in there.” “Boss.” said George, "I don't think I quite gitcha.” "We want to talk to him; we want to listen to him. Hurry! This train stays here only a few minutes,” we told George. "Oh.’ said George, hesitating, "may be it kin be arranged.” But just as the "arrangements” were being paid over, the whistle blew and the train started moving, slowly at first, but with ever-increas ing sliced out of the station. “Anyway,” we soliloquized, "he'd probably have been so mad at having been awakened at such an hour that he wouldn't have told us nnything, anyhow.” f And so the mystery of the many-, colored engines remains a mystery. As we went back to sleep for our morning rest, our only dreams were of being pursued by a rainbow mon ster down the narrow steel rails. AGAIN RATS PROVE TOO MUCH FOR REPTILES Held Th ir Ow n With Snakes in Cage at State Museum. Raleigh, N. C., July 17— UP)— The editor who told his reporters "If a dog bites a man, it ie not news, Dut if the man bites the dog, that ie newfl,” might have had even hia definition of the word, fulfilled a few days ago if he had visited the State Museum. To feed his assortment of snakes, Harry T. Davis, assistant to the curator, placed two large rats in their cage. Rat meat is supposed to be rare delicacy for such icptiles and the assistant curator almost expect ed to hear his copper heads smack their lips in enjoyment, of. their tenderloin. The curator closed the museum for the night and went home, leaving his pets to have their meal to themselves. Too, he half-way disliked to see the reptiles prepare their food. . R turning the next morning Mr. I Davis sought out his snake cage for a look at his pets. In one corner he found the two rats. They were alive and occupied the larger part of the inclosure. In fact, they were much alive. Tangled about each other in (lie farther end of the cage were his snakes. Two of them were missing, and the others h«d evidently spent a hectic night. Ylr. Davis had no explanations to offer. He had never hard of rats eeting anakes. He did know that snakes ate rats. One ofthe rats was killed and fed to the remaining reptiles. The other continues to hold one half of the cage, while the snakes are tangled about each other in the other half. Mrs. Richmond Compliments Out-of Town Visitors. A delightful informal affair was tht lovely porch party given Thursday as ternoon by Mrs. George H. Richmond, The affair was in honor of Miss Es ther Gilmer Hall, of Statesville, the guest of Mrs. Richmond, and Misses Florabdle Harriss, Alice Woodside and Jessie Gamblh, wbp are visiting Misses Jane and Willie White.

July 15. —C 1« y *” n Smith, former white convict, testified today in the trial of X. C. ( ’ ra " ford ’ former convict boss charged with tne murder of two negro convicts, that Cranford beat the negroes with a stick "like a man fighting a snake. (’ran ford struck the negroes James Howell and James Terry—a dozen or more N time with a stick. Smith stated, and then jabbed the stick in the mouth of one of (he con victs. Smith said Cranford beat the ne groes "enough to die.’ The witness stated that Cranford made him work one time with a blis tered foot which became so painful he had to crawl. "Why didn’t you ask for a doctor? a prosecution attorney questioned. "Because another boy had asked for a doctor and Cranford tokl him he would get him a doctor and drew a .38 revolver on him,” Smith re plied. The witness said on one occasion he was not getting enough to eat and he wrote home for food. "A guard told me he would slip my letter through,’ Smith continued. "Cranford caught him with the let ter and he bawled him out and put shackles on my legs.” "What was the condition of your legs while the shackles were on?" Smith said they were swollen to two or three times their normal size. Charlie Deese. another white con vict, was asked by the prosecution to tell about the treatment Cranford gave to Henry Wooten, a negro. "One evening we were clearing out a bottom.” the witness began, "and Wooten was sitting beside the road when I came up. Cranford said: ‘Ylr. Wooten says he can't walk.’ Then he had me drive my tractor up and Wooten was hooked to the trac tor to the chain.” The Witness said Cranford told him to drive off and that he went about thirty feet with Wooten hooked to the chain. "Cranford told me to stop,” he continued. "Cranford then asked Wooten if he thought he could walk. YVooten said lie thought so. Cran ford then told me to drag him some more. When I had gone about thirty feet more Cranford told me to stop and he unhooked YVooten. 1 "What did Wooten do?” the wit ness was asked by counsel. "He walked off as best he could.” "What was the condition of the ground ?’ "It was rough where stumps had been pulled out.’ "How long did Wooten live after 111 is?’ "Two or three weeks.” "Did you have a talk with Ylr. Cranford about the Wooten affair?’ "Cranford said if I made out an affidavit saying he did not order me to pull Wooten he would meet me on the highway some night and let me go.” Deese said he had seen one con vict, John Baker, whipped twice and on one occasion hung by his hands off the floor for four hours. These stories told of gruesome pun ishment inflicted on prisoners ty Cranford ranging in form from beat ing with a buggy trace to hanging to the wrists. One witness testified that he saw Cranford hang a pris oner by the leg, because he danced on Sunday. Former Guard on Stand. F. Gaddy, of Red Springs, a firmer guard, said while he was with ( ranford ns n guard the boss whipped men with a four horse wagon whip with a wire for a cracker. Gaddy stated that he saw Cranford knock a negro down on one occasion, that the negro fell on his face and did not get up; that Cranford then stamped Viim with an ironclad boot on the back of the neck and head. Later the negro was taken to the camp and Ylr. Gady said he did not see the ne gro anj- more. Ylr. Gaddy produced a copy of his newspaper "The Red Springs Progress” which he edited showing an editorial in which he at tacked the Stanly <4iain gang for cruelties. The paper was dated Feb rimry, 1923. Gaddy said lie talked to Cranford about his manner of treat ing his prisoners. "I have seen men fnlLfrom exhaus tion and then have heir heads stamped by Cranford with a lieavy boot, and this right on the streets of Albemarle, a town filled with churches where collections are taken up every Sunday for foreign missions,” Gaddy said. One witness, S. V. Holt, a repre sentative of the Standard Oil Com pany, testified that in July, 1925, he drove his truck to the prison camp to deliver gas, it was about 5 o’clock one afternoon. “Before I got to the camp I was held up by a guard who would not let me enter,” 'he said. “While I was being held a closed car approached from the camp. The guard motioned the driver, but he did not speak af ter the car had passed. Cranford came up and told me to go in ajid deliver the gas.” “Keep that in your mouth,” the witness said Cranford told him as he drove into the camp. This state ment was significant in connection with the evidence of one of the eon vmts who testified this morning to the effect that on the same day men tioned by Mr Holt, Cranford t„ J him early in the morning to take the men who were staying i n the .

Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, July 15.—The fame of North Carolina ns a healthful place to live and its methods of health con trol and sanitation are soon to be car | ried to the four corners of the world as the result of the visit to the State ,°f nine sanitary engineers, most of | them from foreign countries, who are , making a week’s intensive study of sanitary engineering methods in use |in the state. These •young men, all I of them connected with the ministries lof health of their respective nations, , have just completed a year’s gradu j ate study in sanitary engineering at Harvard as fellows of the Rockefel ler Foundation, and are supplement ing their work there with a tour of more than a dozen states making ob servations of the woi’k being done. North Carolina is the only south ern state being visited, and the long est visit is also being made there. They spent Monday in Raleigh, going over the work done by the State board of health, with particular at tention to division of sanitary engi neering and its work in water puri fication, sewage disposal and water and milk inspection, as well as dis ease control and prevention. Tues day was spent in Durham and a study of sanitary conditions there, while today * the party will be in Chapel Hill, going into the work of the de partment of sanitary engineering at the University. The party is trav eling by automobile and will stop from time to time in the rural dis tricts to observe sanitary conditions The tour will touch Charlotte, Gas tonia, Greensboro, Morganton and other points, terminating in Asheville on Monday. North Carolina was se lected for this intensive study be cause of the progress which the state lias made along the lines of sanita tion and its relation to disease pre vention. It is expected that these young men will carry back to their home countries many of the sanitary methods employed in this state to be put into practice in their countries. A study of industrial housing condi tions will also be made in the various industrial cities of the state that are visited. From Asheville the party will re turn to Washington for a study of the work being done by the United States public health service, after whirti a visit will be paid to the prin cipal cities in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin and other cities along the great lakes, where water supply and sewage disposal will be the chjef matters of study. The tour will cover about three months time, and at its expiration the young engi- will return to their posts in their native lands to put into practice what they have learned. tour is under the supervision of H. G. Baity, assistant sanitary en gineer North Carolina board of health, been on a year’s leave of ab sences -doing graduate work at Har vard. He is being assisted by Roy J.

DINING ROOM AT HOTEL CONCORD IS NOW CLOSED Manager Wenrick Plans to Open it Again September First Coffee Shop Still Popular. C.

So many travelling men take their vacation at this season of the year and so many Concord people are »\vay that we decided to close the dining room temporarily.” Persons who desire to have ineals served for parties can do so by mak ing reservations, Mr. Wenrick stated, and the same excellent service that has been available since the opening of the hostelry will be offered. The closing of the dining room will in no way interfere with the luncheons for the Rotary and Ki wanis Clubs, the hotel manager stat ed. ! The coffee shop continues popular with many patrons, Mr. Wenrick , said, and in the future the chef will ' demote all of his time to meals to ■ be served there. There will be no in crease in the price of the coffee shop ' meals, it was stated, although it is planned to make the service better. ‘ The new electric sign for the hotel has arrived and will be placed at once. The letters on the sign are four feet high, it is said, and when lighted ’ can be seen for many miles in all directions. t Too Much White in Eye. , Too much white in the eye has al ways been considered by many peo l pie in this part of the country as a bad sign. Anyone, or even a dumb bruite,’ that showed a preponderance of white in. the eye, is considered unsafe and to be avoided.’ I haye frequently seen buyers reject horses, mules and cows because of too much white in theii eyes. There is much truth in this; it is a fact, but I don’t know why.—John Whord, Ballinger, Texas. Mrs. Bernard Fetzer, -Miss Belle Means.
