The Singers’ Convention. The singers’ convention held its sec ond meeting of the year on Sunday, May 29th at Ursinus Reformed Church at Rockwell. N. C. There were upwards of 1.200 people present to hear the singing of this convention. Over 21 choirs were pres ent, of which there were 61 numbers rendered, consisting of choruses, quar ettes, trios, duets and solos. Many ministers of the different de nominations were present. They com mented very favorably on the good work of the convention, how it pro moted the keen interest of music in the different churches. The convention adjourned at 12:30 for dinner. The dinner was one of the finest and most plentiful anybody could desire. The convention reas sembled at 1;30 p. m. The people over 60 years of age formed a choir.

Declaring that there are many prob -1 lems facing the American people, in cluding the Mexican situation, the South American situation, the Chinese situation and the European situation and that though all these problems are serious, the most serious problem the American people have to face is with j in their borders, E. J. Rollings, of Detroit, Mich., addressed the members ' of the Concord Rotary Club Wednes . day at their luncheon and said that , the situation within our borders was the narcotic one. Mr. Rollings, speaking in a eonvinc- I ing manner, held his listeners through i his entire address. Be spoke on a * subject with which he was very fa > miliar having studied the narcotic sit t uation for many years and lived for ■ a time in the underworld to get first . hand information on the use of “dope.” “We have in the United States to - day, according to a survey made in > 1919, one million people addicted to drugs. It is estimated that they are i increasing at the rate of 1.000 daily. 'That would mean that we have a mil ‘ lion or a million and a half drug ad dicts in the country today,” he said. Stating that this narcotic problem ’ must not be avoided, Mr. Rollings 1 said : “The American people are the greatest ‘dope’ using people in the : world today. The drug habit will rob them of health, mentality and re spectability.” The speaker declared that the prob lem has three distiuct angles. “The first one is the crime angle.” he said. “The people who are drug addicts are criminals from petty thieves to those j who commit murder. They become I criminals because they are drug ad dicts. They rob to get money to j secure dope.’ Opium is the worse but morphine is used more for it can be taken with less trouble and and the outfit is not so bundlesome. The vic tims of paregoric are often hopeless cases. ’ "The crime angle hooks up with the economic angle. Ninty per cent. * of the million drug addicts in this g country are reducted by drugs until they can’t work and are placed upon s public charities. The charities have _ to keep them and also spend money for ‘dope’ which they have to have. „ Many get money to buy the drugs _ by stealing. In the large cities of 3 the country it is -estimated that 90 i- per cent, of shop lifting is done by j drug addicts and 70 per cent, of all crime can be placed either directly ) or indirectly upon the use of nar f cotics,” said the speaker. y The greatest problem, according to i- Mr. Rollings, is the moral one. He repeated that Americans are the great e est drug using nation in the world h and then asked the question: “what f are we going to do about it?” He ", then added that the “dope” addict e comes from every walk of life and e . then asked how did they become drug f addicts. He answered that question with three answers: “First, we are living in an age when people are look * ing for a kick or thrill. They will ' e try anything once. Through curiosity many become drug addicts. ' * “Secondly, there are some people y who become drug addicts through care s lessness of physicians and nurses. The greatest number of physicians and 1- nurses are not responsible for that fact but there are some black sheep in every profession and men and worn en get started upon the drug habit, h Morphine is a blessing in the medical i profession and only becomes a curse s, when misused. V “Third, we have in our country a drug ring—dealers who are well or , ganized and are employing different ways of starting people in as drug addicts. The morphine peddler buys I the morphine at from S3O to S9O an ounce and then puts it up in small packages and sells it at $1 each, mak ing S3OO to S4OO profit. It is the mrat vicious and profitable business in the world,” Mr. Rollings said in conclusion. Professor A. S. Webb, who re cently retired as club president when C. W. Byrd came into office, was presented a pin in appreciation of his services as president of tfie club. The presentation was made by Rev. It. M. Courtney. j EXPRESSES TJIANKS FOR AID GIVEN BY CONCORp CITIZENS Mrs. Lily *F. ~ Blanks Sends Expression of Thanks For the Boxes of Clothing Sent to the Flood Victims. In a iletter to her eon, H. W. Blanks.. Concord Y. <3. A. seerfe tary, Mrs. Lily F. Blanks,,, of Colum bia, La., -gives an -expression of thanks to ■ the Concord citizens who contributed clothing for distribution among the flood sufferers in Columbia. Mrs. Blanks declared the garments filled a great want in the lives of the sufferers, whose homes were either swept away, or submerged and were badly damaged as the wild waters of the Mississippi flooded the country side. Numbers of local persons sent cloth ing to Mrs. Blanks’ son at the Y. M. C. A., who in turn expressed the sup plies directly to Columbia, La., where Mrs. Blanks distributed them among the'persons in dire need. Her residence being at the highest point in Columbia, Mrs. Blanks writes that the water has receded from the house and yard, but in the low parts of the city the water level is still} high. She also stated that the first trains to operate in and out of the 1 town, will run Friday. Mrs. Blanks will visit her son herei very soon. j Stockings, it is reported, were in-' vented in the eleventh century, but were not seen until the twentieth. THE CONCORD TIMES 1 M. —- " MUST ACT NOW TO SAVE GOVERNMENT I INSURANCE POLICY - 1 After July 2nd Former Ser-j vice Men Will Not Be Able to Reinstate Their Government Policies. Unless World War veterans heed the warning of the United States Vet-; erans’ Bureau to reinstate and con vert wartime insurance by July 2J 1927, thirty billion dollars of insurance will become void on that date, and will be lost to veterans. Although numerous bills to extend this date were introduced during the last session of Congress, none of these were passed, so there is no possibility of the final date being extended as happened in the past, for Congress has adjourned without amending the law in this respect, and the date cannot be changed by bureau regulation. On March 1, 1927, the Veterans’ Bureau had paid out in disability and death benefits, on term insurance, the huge sum of $849,936,509. On con verted insurance up to that date, they had paid disability benefits totalling $2,318,265, and death benefits to bene ficiaries amounting to $27,038,929. The total amount of term insurance reinstated up to March Ist was $2,- 649,267,868. and converted insurance which had been dropped and later revived totalled $76,555,063. J. S. Pittman, regional manager of the bureau at Charlotte, N. C., calls attention to the fact that while a large number of veterans within the state are taking advantage of the opportun ity, many, possibly through ignorance of their rights, are neglecting the op portunity, and he, therefore, urgently advises that World War veterans of North Carolina communicate without delay with the Charlotte Regional Of fice. or American Legion or American Red Cross representatives within the state, either of whom will be pleased to furnish detailed information.

The Poplar Tent “All-Star” base ball team defeated the Brown Mill team on the latter’s field by the one sided score of 17 to 7. The All-Stars scored seven runs in the first inning and steadily increas ed the total during the remainder of the game, while the opposing team did not secure a hit off “Lefty” Allison’s delivery until the fifth 'inning. Also their first run came during that in n;ng as the result of a wild pitch. Brown Mill again scored one run in the sixth due to a wild throw to first base. In the last inning Brown Mill scored five runs, on their lost cause, because of loose fielding and weaken ing of the pitcher. The victory manes the second straight for the All-Stairs, having de feated Gil wood 7-4 the preceding Sat urday in a pitcher’s duel between “Whistle” Hartsell and “Kurt” Tay lor. Both pitched a good game of ball, but Taylor was the more effect ive throughout. Besides pitching good ball Taylor also secured a double and a home run. Other features of the game were the functioning of Poplar Tent’s new infield, a beautiful catch by Outfielder Oaldwell of E. Allison’s long fly, and the hitting of Goodnight *nd E. Allison for Gilwood. Anyone wishing to tackle the All- Stars may address Britt Brumley, Concord, N. C., Route 1, our manager, who has been hitting the “old pill’ on the nose lately. SON.
