ALLEGED BEATING OF
NEGRO BRINGS WARRANTS
One Charlotte Officer Formally Ar
rested and Warrant Issued For An
other.
Charlotte, April 10. —One police- j
man was formally arrested, and a pri-1
vate policeman and another man nnm- 1
' ed in warrants here today as a result I
of alleged beating of a negro arrested
here last Saturday night.
L. W. Bowlin, motorcycle officer,
was arrested on a charge of assault
with intent to kiH on a warrant sign
ed by Robert Harris, negro, who al
leged he was beaten in the city jail.
Bowlin was released on his own rec
ognizance. and instructed to appear
before A. S. Mangum, magistrate, for
a hearing Tuesday afternoon.
Carl Johnson, railroad .nolieeman.
was named in another warrant, and
Iluev Bridges, a sand hauling contrac
tor. was the third man named. They
have not yet been arrested.
Police, officers today asserted that
i Bowling had nothing to do with the ;
case. They said he was not in the
city last Saturday night.
The case had its inception in the !
arrest of William Roger, a negro, in j
connection with disappearance of some i
articles belonging to Arthur Bridges
father of Juey Bridges. Roger is
said to have implicated Harris, and
police allege they secured a confession
from the two.
Today’s action followed claims of
Harris that he was beaten and the
action of C. C. Broughton of Tjroy,
an attorney, who demanded an in
vestigation.

; Weather Man Says You Caji Parade
Easter Togs.
I Washington, April IS. Easter
i togs and finery may be promenaded
along the boulevards and main
streets of the country east of the
Mississippi river Sunday, says the
weather bureau, save in the lower
lake region, Ohio, Tennessee and
Mississippi without fear of the lin
o rtainties of April weather.
Those sections, however, also seem
safe if the promenaders get an early
start, but in the afternoon they prob
ably are due for rain.
A small boy who had been sent to
bring eggs, exclaimed: ‘‘Mother, I —
1 1 — dropped them once.”
WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
LAW NOT OPERATING
! Operation Being Held Up Until Rides
ami Regulations Are Drawn Up.
Raleigh, April li>.—Operation of
the new state-wide weights and meas
ures law is being held up pending the
arrival of an expert from the 11. S.
Bureau of Standards in Washington,
j who will assist the State Department
of Agriculture in the drawing up of
the rules and regulations governing
the operation of the new law, it was
I announced today by W. A. Graham,
commissioner of agriculture. It is
expected that this representative will
arrive some time next week.
The new law provides that such
other rules and regulations shall be
! drawn up by the department as may
be deemed necessary, and that these
rules and regulations must also con
form to the Federal rules and regula
tions governing weights and measures.
Hence, in order that there might be
full conformity, Commissioner Graham
: has delayed the preparation of these
further regulations until such a time
;as the Bureau of Standards could i
send one of their experts to Raleigh
|to assist in the work. The law fur-1
ther provides that the law shall not I
, become operative until 30 days after
j the full rules and regulations shall
j have been published. •
Thus, until these new regulations
, have been prepared and published, the
old regulations will prevail, as will the
j existing ordinances in those cities
j that have special ordinances govern
i ing we’ghts and measures, Mr. Gra
! ham said. It has not yet been deti-
I nitely determined just what division ;
| of the department will have charge of
J the enforcement of the law, although
i it is probable that it will be placed un
der the supervision of the division of ,
i markets.
Although the law itself is not so
| lengthy, it is all-inclusive, in that it
I gives extensive powers to the depart
ment in the making up of-the regula- |
t : on so that almost everything from
ice scales on ice wagons, to electric
and gas metres, will come within the
terms of the law, which also gives au- !
thority to fix the fees to be charged
for inspection service. It is expected i
that these fees will provide the neces-ij
sary funds for the enforcement of the
law.
PLANS FOR BIG FRANCE
* LEGION PARADE MADE
Five Miles Long. Through Heart of
Paris, Passing Most Historic Spots
of French Capital.
Charlotte. N. C„ April 15. —A five
mile line of parade of the American
legion through the heart of Paris on
the opeuing day of the national con
vention next September has been
tentatively agreed upon, ir >.-n~ an
nounced today by James of
I/exington. Department France Con
vention Officer of this state, upon
information received from Howard /
P. Savage, National Commander of
the Legion. A cablegram from the
French capital to Commander Sav
age announced that the line of
march had been mapped out by
Janies F. Barton. National Adjutant
of the Legion: Bowman Elder, Na
tional Chairman of the France Con
i' vention Committee; John J. Wicker,
| Jr.. National Travel Director, and
i Albert Greenlaw, resident member of
! the France Convention Committee
|in Paris, after consultation with
French officials.
The parade will lead through the
heart of the downtown Paris along
streets followed by victorious armies
for centuries. A holiday has been de
clared September 19, the day of the
parade and the greater part of the
three million population of the gay
capita! will be along the line of
! March. Ferdinand Foch, Marshal of
France and supreme commander of
.the Allied Armies; General John J.
Pershing, wartime commander of the
A. E. F., and Howard P. Savage.
National Commander of the Ameri
can Legion, will be among the dis
tinguished officials in the reviewing
stand- General Gouraud, military
governor of Paris, a wartime eom-
I mander known to thousands of
; American soldiers, cooperated in ar
rangements for the coming parade.
The host or Legionnaires will
gather for the parade in the Place
des Invalides. Towering above the
veterans will be the dome of this
famous structure which houses the
tomb of Napoleon and the relics won
on b’.ood soaked fields of Europe by
the Poi'.us. From this central point
the veterans will proceed down the
avenue du Gallieni, named in honor
of the moving spirit of the ‘“taxicab"
army hurled in tue face of the Ger
mans as they advanced almost to the
French capital. The tramp of the
Legionnaires will then be heard as
they cross the tranquil waters of the
River Seine on the bridge of Alexan
der 111.
The veteran host will then turn
left down the Court Reine, for a
long time held for the exclusive use
of the Royal family enroute to Ver
sailles. The parade will then lead
down the Court Alberti, then west
to the ’ Place de Alma further west
on the Avenue President Wilson
named in honor of our wartime com
mander-in-chief. The line of march
will then be right to the Avenue
d’lena and on the Arc d'Triomphe.
Here rests the immortal remains of
the French unknown soldier, repre
sentative of a million men who died
in battle in northern France and
Belgium The veterans will then pass
down the world famous Avenue des
Champs-plysees to the Place de la
Concorde. Here stands an Egyptian
obelisk, the counterpart of Cleopa
tra’s needle, marking the exact spot
where stood the , guillotine during
the days of the bloody revolution.
The flags leading the veterans will
then turn left down the Rue Royale
and into the Grand Boulevards, The
parade xvill lead along the Boule
vards Madeliene; des Italiens; Pois
soniere; past the old gate of Port
St. Denis and then south along the
boulevard des Sebastopol-; to the
Rue Rivoli and then west to the
Jardin des Tuilleres. in the heart of
the famous shopping district of the
French capital. Here the veterans
will disband.
The great number or musicians
and bandsmen that have made reser
vations and the international aspect
of the parade promise to make it the
most colorful in the history of na
tional Legion conventions. j
THE CONCORD TIMES
NEW ORLEANS GETS
HEAVIEST M IN
56 YEARS IN NIGHT
Business Came to Stand

| Ordinarily Above Water,
' Were Inundated.
14.01 INCHES OF
RAIN IS RECORDED
i .
Families Were Marooned

| All of City Suffered.
j New Orleans, April IG.— (A 3 )— 14.01
inches of rain fHI. in New Orleans
last night, the weather bureau report
'ed today.
The rainfall broke all records for
the past 56 yearn, the highest previ
ous record being 9.22 inches. Hun
dreds of blocks of the residential sec
tions were flooded, and thousands of
persons were unable to get down town
to business. . ,
! Business, largely, suspended for the
Easter holidays, came to a virtual
standstill and many.of the thorough
fares which arc high and dry under
normal rains were under from four
inches to three feet of water, with
only boats or high wheeled wagons
able to penetrate them.
Families were marooned in their
homes, with the exception of those
lucky enough to have a skiff in their
back yards, or such as desired an
' early morning swim in their front
yards.
| Virtually every section of the city
I except certain high section.' in French
Quarter, and certain peaks in the bus
iness and uptown sections of the city
were under water at some time dur
ing the night.
As the pumping system gradually
gained control of the situation the bus
iness section was freed of water, but
hundreds of blocks in the uptown resi
dential section remained under water
at 10 o’clock today. In portions of
the city the water had ebbed into
houses to a depth of six inches.
Announcement by Fenner & Beane.
Fenner & Beane, members of the
New York stock and cotton exchanges
and of the Chicago— send out the
following announcement:
We have the pleasure to announce
that Ben Talbot, former financing
editor of the New York Evening Mail
and New York Telegram and recently
with the firm of Jackson .Boesel &
Co., has become associated with this
firm in a stock market advisory ca
pacity.
Prior to his connection with New
York Evening Mail, Mr. Talbot was.
before the war, financial writer for
the International News and the New
York American. Later he was Lon
don correspondent of the New York
Sun and the New York Herald and
upon his return from abroad, was an
editorial writer on economic and finan
cial subjects for the New York Herald
before it was merged with the New
York Tribune.' Mr. Talbot will make
his headquarters at our »w York
office in the Cotton Exchange build
ing. 00 Beaver Street, and will write
our daily stock market advices. He
will be glad to answer all inquiries.
Mr. Talbot today sent out the fol
lowing letter to the customers joss
Fenner & Beane:
When the steel stockholders meet
Monday and ratify the 40 per cent,
dividerid in common shares, it will
remove one subject of bullish discus
sion but will open up another, be
cause the meeting on the cash divi
dend is not scheduled until April 26th.
In the interim between these two
meetings I look for a campaign in
Steel common that will carry it upto
the prices so often predicted in the
last few months, which means from
175 to ISO where the yield will be
about 5 1-2 per cent, with a dividend
of $7 on the new stock and I have
no doubt that this rate will be in
augurated at the month-end meeting.
It is not reasonable to suppose that
the expected advance in Steel can
take place- without having at least a
mildly stimulating influence on the
rest of the list. I would not take
too much for grafted and when profits
present themselves I would not ignore
them. There are supposed to be con
structive moves on the way in In
dustrial Alcohol, International Nickel,
Central Alloy Steel, Gold Dust and
Bethlehem Steel. These among oth
ers, I think, can be played for quick
turns only. BEN TALBOT.
400 VETERANS APPLY
TO LOAN COMMISSION
Applicants From Cities Outnumber
Those From Rural Sections Five
To One.
Raleight, April 14. —With about
400 applications already for
loans to veterans of the world war
out of the $2,000,000 bond issue voted
in last November election, plans are
rapidly going forward for making
loans which were held up by the
test case in the Supreme court last
xveek.
Col. John Hall Manning, commis
sioner of the fund, said today that
the most surprising thing about the
applications so far received has been
the small number of applicants from
owners and prospective purchasers of
farm property, who have 'been out
numbered 5 to 1 by applicants from
cities.
A small girl asked her mother:
*‘lf I grow up, will I have a hus
band like papa?"
"Yes, my dear,” mother replied.
“And if I do not get married will
I be an old maid lTke Aunt Susan?” ,
“Yes,” was the reply.
IThe little girl thought, for a minute.
“Well, I am in a fix.” i

Grow Some Sc,rgn;.m.
Following a diversified system ot
farming which the agricultural
leaders have been advising for .some- S
time, do not forget to save a place ■
to grow fiorghum. This crop may be
grown for hay, silage. seed, and
syrup, in faet. practically the whole 1
plant may be used as a feed or other 1
purposes after the juice has been ex- |
tracted for syrup making.
In 1926, the syrup secured per j
. acre from the sorghum grown in
North Carolina and Virginia was
about 95 gallons per acre. This
yield is much below the average for
the United Statevs, which is about
150 gallons per acre, also, it is very
low’ when compared with me y, c iu,s
secured by ma_y of the bo><t farmers
of these tw’o states, on many farms
the yield of from 350 to 450 gallons
per acre being secured. In securing
arge yields such as those given
above, the* sorghum crop is very pro
fitable and there is no reason why
all the farmers that grow’ sorghum
should not secure larger yields than
they have been.
In grow’ing sorghum, the prepara
tion of the land, the variety of seed
used and cultivation is all as neces
'iiry as for other crops. It is prob
able that the low yields secured by
most farmers is caused by the fact
that little or no plant food is furnish
ed the crop; the yields that are se
cured being made from the land it
self-
The experiment stations of North
Carolina and Virginia advise the
growing of Sorghum. They also ad
vise that to make sorghum profit
ably, the emit should be fertilized.
!n general their recommendations
are about the same as for eorn:
Sandy soils 400 to KOO pounds ot
12-2-6.
Loam soils 400 to 800 pounds of j
12-4-2.
(May soils 400 to 800 pounds of :
12-4-0.
In order to secure juice that is j
rich in sugars, plenty of available
potash should be applied. Most soils
in North Carolina and Virginia do
not have enough available potash to
make large yields of syrup rich in
s ugam.
If fertilized properly, there is pro
fit in sorghum growing.

NORMAL AT ALBEMARLE
IS TO PUT ON CAMPAIGN
Presbytery Gives School Authority, to
Raise Fund for .New Dormitory.
Albemarle, April 14.—The outstand
ing feature of the proceedings of the
Mecklenburg Presbytery today was the
granting a request from the Albemarle
Normal and Industrial Institute in
an effort to raise a fund with which
to erect a new dormitory for the
school and provide for other facilities
so badly needed.
The trustees or the school /held a
meeting this morning and made their
proposition immediately thereafter,
stating that the school had reached
the point where it would either be
necessary to close it down, or put
into it from $40,000 to $50,000, the
amount estimated the dormitory would
cost. Rev. It. J. Mcllwaine, W. H.
lielk and A. C. Huneycuti' were the
three trustees to make appeals to the
Presbytery for this donation. The
proposition met with the hearty ap
proval of practically every delegate
and after a resolution had been pre
pared and read by Dr. Bridges, of
Charlotte, Moderator Walker called
William Anderson to the chair and
himse'.f took the floor to appeal to
every delegate and minister present
to vote for the Bridges resolution and
go back home and heartily back
it up.
The Sugar Croek trouble was not
taken at this session of the Presbytery.
The Sharon question took up much
time yesterday, and it was possibly
thought that the Presbytery could not

perintendent, Rev. A. A. Walker,
which were made last night, showed
up most favorably. Rev. Mr. Walker ->j
made a most earnest appeal for more
liberal support of the home mission
work. He declared that the little
weak country churches may be re-
garded as a failure and that some
might think the amount donated to "
their support year after year might
a waste, but he said “we forget that
those little country churches, while
they may not grow themselves are aH

churches.”
The session adjourned late this af
