Tim ’city recently pasoed a resolution -coudcmuiug the bridge and ordering i all traffic over a grade criwsing near tbe bridge. "It is not kuowii what action the Southern Railway officials will take !in regard to the ordinance," . Mayor jO. H. Barrier said this morning | "We hav«* not received any word f from them and if they do not make a etatement before noon Friday. January 11. we will dote the bridge i and direct traffic over the grade crossing.

At a later date the -ily modified the ordinance *o that the trains need not stop but must slow down to five mile* an hour on approaching the crossing. It also ex l , tended the date for the ordinance t-» become effective from December .14 to January 14. ,T. W.

It was understood here that Mr. Wasftum went to Washington, D.

The city of Concord contends that , the overhead bridge should be niain taii»*d by the Southern while the Soutberfi heretofore has 'contended i that the upkeep of the structure is a {city problem. It was expected that • the conference <»f Mr. Wassutn with S'hi them otficin'is in Washington : would determine what action the rail company would take.

WARMER WEATHER IS PROMISED PITY TODAY M rather Man Says Rising Tempera tures Will Be Reality Before Day Is Over. Low temperatures prevailed in Cou cord again this morning and heavy ice was again reported. However, weather reports insist that rising tem peratures will la- a reality before the day is over and that the backbone of the cold wave which has gripped the state this week, has been broken. While the mercury again this nforn- ing dropped to ‘around 234 degree* zero, it was not as cold as it was yesterday morning. Thin is proof ‘ t'lttt tbe wanner* weather is licndi'd this way, weather men say. I Miring yesterday _ afternoon it was much viiruier than ou the day before and still higher temperatures are proiu iscd for this afternoon. Most of the suow which did not melt Moudnv afternoou is still in evi deu«H*, temperatures having beeu so low Teusdoy and yesterday that little of the euov melted. Practically the entire state has felt the cold wave, it is said, aud most cities reported suow during the week, with a fall of twelve inches reported i n G reensboro. ]• rozen water pipes have been much iu evidence in C’-oucord during the week and it is reported that p num ber of automobile radiators have de manded attention also.

Mr. Editor: > | I take pleasure in writing you and * giving you a few sketches of my trip . to California. r j We left Kannapolis the 14tli of { , I September, going through the Middle jjWest, stopping over in Indiana one > I week. • While there we visited the np i[ple aud peach orchards of Southern , Indiana, which were wonderful. ' AA’e also attt*iul«l the co«nty fair ‘ in Sullivan. Indiana, which was a ; 1 wonderf’il sight to southern people. > e.H|>ecially the stock show, and gain and vegetable exhibits. We saw thousands of acres of corn along the White and Wabash Rivers under] ■ water and much of it a total loss as it had been raining there for several week*. SJo from there we traveled on 1 -northwest through Chicago on across Illinois. lowa and Arkansas byway ■ of Omaha. Denver. Col., over the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, crossing the Rocky Mountains near LeaifrMle. Our highest point was ’ Tennessee, I’*>*., 10.240 feet. Over this mute arc wonderful work** of na ture to look at. We traveled through Salt I-ake City* crossing the great Salt Lake on the fcjouthern Pacific Rome. From there we crossed the salt and alkali plains of Utah and Ne vada and the Sierra and Nevada Mountains, passing through Reno, the divorce city, on to Oakland, where our da lighter lives. We staved there one week, visiting San Francisco, Berkley and several other nearby cit ies. From there we traveled south along the Pacific Coast. passing through great dairying country, also apple, prune, pear, apricot orchards and bean ranches 487 miles, to Los Angeles. So here wo are in the most wonderful country in the United Stales, especially for climate, it can't be beat. And for quite n number of other things. There is lots of nioney here too. although I’ve uever seen a dollar bill on a bush yet and I have been here four times in the last forty ve%£s. You have to work for the dol lar* the same as in North Carolina or any other place. The wealthy people have the money, and don't forget It.. We have located in Los Angeles at' the above address. Like it very much, and will be pleased to have any of you Tar Heels to call on us if you come to California. I*as Angeles ha* a population of 1.250.000. is 45 mih*s one way and 25 the other. It isn’t a crowded city. Some buildings are plauned to go up War 30 stories high. The tempera ture is from vSO to 70 above during the winter. Some day* have been 90. Evhfy day has been beautiful since J we have been here. I t<»ok a run to Ran Diego last week < 140 miles V in au auto, and saw gardener* picking green sugar or gar den peas and wm? i*oming on. Also plenty of tomatoes on vines. The yards arc full, of flowers. We have rose* coming in bloom and other spring flowers are blooming. All kinds of green vegetables arc on the market and are very cheap. This js a gredl cauliflower, cellery. lettuce and I apinaeh* wnntrv and cabbage is a cent a pound. Fine fresh fish dress ed are 20 cents a pound. We had a mess for dinner. Come over, some of you hungry Tar Heels and I’ll feed you on fish awhile, aud you can *it outside any day in your shirt sleeves and be comfortable. . We have been having quite some rain this winter since we’ve been < here, and the farmers are pleased as | tbis-ijf- the time of yeaiMo sow grain. Rail* began before Christmas. About i all the cities and towns are three i times as large as they were eight years ago. Everything is very quiet here. now. as it is most any other sec tion. ] I see the cotton farmers Lave over done their business. It looks like they couM see the folly of raisin* «©.mueli. If they would cut tbejr cron one-half i they would make more money with half the labor. Southern California has quite a cotton section. Imperial Valley in fact, they raise it ©n north to the middle of the state. I have a farm ! n Iliverside county near the Imperial Valley. My land is worth three times as much now as it. Mas when I left her**. One thin* about this part of Califoruia is that there is no use cf coming out here to make much Uiogey unless you have money to in vest, as there are too many common lal>orers here. Sometimes there are ton many skilled laborers. The only way I see to make money out here i« to invest and let it crow into money. Sit «fnwn and rest, if you have any th'ns i * live on. If not get u job if you c’ w Sind nue. What little I have. is ntak.ig me three' times as much as « it did back there and I'm resting and when I was there I worked most of the time and made about 50 cents a day. I have invested iu an apartment boils**, which is a very good invest- when kept rented. Well, as I suppose you who read this may not be interested very much, probably I had better close. So if any of you who may read this, care to correspond Mitli me by letter or through The Times I will be glad to have you do so. Wishing everybody back there a bright, prosperous aud llappy 1927.
