Fire recently originated in one of the guest rooms at Hotel Concord, but due to the fireproof construction of the building the flames weie confined to the room in which it started, it was made known here today. C. Ross Wenrick, manager of Hotel Coqcord. in reporting the fire, stated: "Hotel Advertising of a few years ago always carried the line ‘Fireproof’ whenever it could be used, although in more than one case or instance it was a misnomer. ‘‘More attention is being paid to guests protection today than ever be fore, and the wisdom of. this was ex emplified recently in Concord when a tire originated in one of the guest rooms of Hotel Concord,” said Mr. Wenrick. Commenting upon the incident, ‘The Hotel World,” Chicago, remarks edi torially : » Modern hotel 'construction was giv en a severe test a week or so ago when a guest of the Hotel Concord, Concord. N. C., set fire to his room on the second floor by smoking in bed, the occupant while not badly burned was aroused by another guest who discovered the fire by smelling smoke in the hall tracing it to his door. By the time Mr. Wenrick, the man ager. could .get to the room the mat tress and bed clothing were in flames. Yet the fire was confined to the one room, no other spot was even dam aged. Fire may occur, by carelessness or misfortune, almost anywhere. One occupant of a hotel room has no pro tection against the negligence of an other of the hundreds around him or her. But they do have protection against the results of that negligence with current construction and cur rent protection. He is safer from fire in a modern hotel than in his own apartment. CANTATA A SUCCESS “Olivet to Calvary” One of Best Can tatas Ever Rendered in Concord. The sacred cantata, “Olivet to Cal vary,” by J. H. Maunder, rendered by St. .Tame* Futheran choir Thursday evening, was one of the best ever ren dered in the city of Concord. This cantata was based on the passion his tory of Christ, showing Him on his triumphant inarch to the city of Je rusalem, and as He stands on the hill overlooking the city He weeps over it. Then he goes into the city and faces the opposition of the people. At eve ning He erosses the Kedron and goes out to Olivet. Here the chorus showed Him in His deepest sorrows. Then the approach of the soldiers with the clashing swords and torches, followed by the tragedy of- His arrest. This particular part was interpreted by rhe choir with much feeling. One of the best features was shown in the tnareh movement of the soldiers from the judgment hall to Calvary which was introduced by the piano and or gan and later taken up by chorus of voices. The solo parts, by Mrs. Nick Sloan, one of Charlotte's leading sopranos. Wm. Monroe, professional varitone singer, of Charlotte, and Miss Valeta Stout, head of the music department at Scotia Seminary, were interpreted with much feeling as only artists can do. The organ and piano parts by Dr. H. A. Stirewalt and Mrs. J. Leslie Correll, wonderfully given by these splendid musicians. North Carolina State Trapfttioiot Meet at Pinehurst.

Spencer, seere- j tary of the chamber, when asked about j a proposed meeting of chamber of com merce officials in Fexington this week. “When it first became known that! i the P. & N. might extend its finest through this county we offered full! eo-operntion." Dr. Spencer continued.* “and conferred the intemrban officials several occasion*. Rights'; , of way were secured in most instances in Cabarrus and surveys have been i ■ made on two proposed routes across j the county. We have not been asked ! by P. & N. officials for assistance in • several months, and I know of nothing i we can do to. further the extension i , plans.” When asked about land values in -1 creasing in Cabarrus county, I)r. r Spencer said that no complaint in this : effect, had been lodged with the chain- 1 ' ber by the I*. &N. "If officials of | * the interurban have found land own ers asking more for their land now than they did when the proposition first came up we have heard nothing of it,” Dr. Spencer said.. ' I)r. Spencer [tbinted out that several ' property owners in the county had | asked more for rights of way than | the rail company wanted to pay but ' he expressed the belief that the differ ences could be settled if a determined ' effort was made. "The chamber of commerce offered to aid in such cases 1 but we have not been called upon for ' any such aid,” he added. The secretary of the local chamber 1 stated that he and other local mem ! bers were ready to attend any con ference that might be called by the Salisbury. Fexington and Winston- Salem chambers for the purpose of discussing new developments in the ' project. This conference has been suggested, it was pointed out. because there is one report current that the P. & N. might route its extension ; from Charlotte to Durham via Stanly and Randolph counties instead of through the upper territory. It is known that the P. & N. has had a corps of surveyors in this coun ty in recent week*, with practically all of their work confined to the Pop lar Tent neighborhood. A report was J current in that community that actual | construction work was to begin in a few weeks and that farmers and their j teams had been engaged by the inter urban for this work. There is no j substantiation for such reports, latest developments show. Many Concord people wonder if the ' P. & N. really plan* to build the ex- j tension any time soon and the various delays and excuses offered by the com pany have served to decrease interest in the proposed extension through this' county. FINDS GREAT SYMPATHY AMONG CONCORD PEOPLE Stranger Says Everybody Here Seems to Be “A Friend to Man.” Mr. Editor: I hope that Mrs. Johnson and I may be allowed space in your valuable pa per in which to express our thanks to the good people of Concord and vicin ity for the unexcelled sympathy and kindness which they have extended to us during the anxious days which l were occasioned by the serious injury ( of our daughter. Maxine. Botli Mrs. Johnson and I have reached the conclusion that the entire j citizenry of Concord has formed it self into an association whose motto j is to “live in a house by the side of the road and be a friend to man.” We have been deeply touched by the many evidences of friendship for our daughter which have been displayed, and we are very grateful for the j beautiful flowers wthich have /been sent to brighten her room. We hope that disaster and sorrow may be infre quent visitors in Concord, but if in the course of events such a visitor should enter any of its homes, may we express the hope that the loving sympathy which has been so bounti fully bestowed upon us may be re turned to them four-fold. We shall ever treasure the recollec tion of the sympathetic kindness of the people of Concord in our hearts, and we shall confidently look forward to another visit to your city at a time i when friendships so recently formed may be renewed under brighter skies unobscured by any clouds of sorrow, r We want to thank you personally for the many courtesies which you have bestowed upon us. and for the additional favor of printing this let ter wh’eh we now covet. Sincerely yours, P. H. JOHNSON. Negroes Are Bound Over to Superior Court.
