CITY AND COUNTY SWEPT BY SEVERE STORMS TUESDAY One Life Snuffed Out by Lightning and Slight Dam age to Crops and Property in Cabarrus Tuesday. Concord and Cabarrus county were in the pathway of two severe .wind land rain storms Tuesday afternoon, lone life being lost and slight damage i being done to property, mostly trees by the elementary forces. A negro man was killed by lightning at Har risburg during the second storm sweeping out of the southwest about .1 o'cloek. Both of the storms left marks of their fury. trees being uprooted about the county and on East and West Depot streets in Concord. The blast accompanying the first storm here about* 2:30 o'clock slammed a door shut at Merit Shoe Co., South Cnion street, shattering the glass window. No other damage to build ings were reported. The severity of the wind was evi denced in the rural sect'ons. The blast laid corn level with fields in several places, but it is not believed that it did any serious damage to these crops. The first storm of the afternoon seemed to carry more wind than the last visitation of the iufuri nte<l elements. Following the storms temperatures tumbled, today being perhajis the coolest June 13 Concord citizens might remember in the i>ast decades. Mr. and Mrs. It. F. Brinkley and sail,, Ralph, Jr., M. I).

Manning, Principal of the School, Writes of Activities During the Sum mer Months. Bethel school wi'.l have a program of work during the summer months, John E. Manning, principal of the school, announced here today when he gave the following for publication; During the year the Bethel school raised all told about S3OO worth of school improvements including funds and other values such as library books and work on the campus. One hun dred dollars was paid on the piano (luring the last three months while other funds went for athletic equip ment, etc. Twenty-five dollars was placed to the credit of the junior and senior classes to be spent under the advice of the school faculty. This money represented only a small paH of the funds raised by the junior and senior play amounting in the whole to nbout $123. The writer never uses slang, but wishes to say that his “first shot out of the box” to warm up Bethel school patrons for the summer school will be to organize a Parent-Teachers’ As sociation. And in the words of the World War timers “carry on” the work of raising school improvement funds. We have promised to raise a part of the summer school expense and lower the tuition the last month. What will you do,to help realize that aim? One program that ought to go well is an old-time music lovers’ feast, which of course the people will attend for the good of the school needs. Summertime is a good season to en tertain and people like to be enter tained too. Every way I view it the summer school is improving. If you have not signed up a student do so right away. A friendly letter is being sent to all who have pledged to send their chil dren to summer school by the summer school treasurer, Cabarrus Savings Bank, to remind them to prepare for the school expense. As was said to all in signing up this is not anything but a courteous act of business and deserves every booster’s immediate at tention. Any who have not already signed up, and there are a very few left, should get in touch with U. G Pope of the Bethel high School com mittee or S. G. Hawfield, county su perintendent. Bethel high school can justly be proud of her successful attempt to solve the eight months problem by her own initiative. She will be more proud to observe the enthusiastic in gathering of returning students on July Bth when they agin meet On the school campus at Bethel to finWh the last quarter of the year for grad uation. or regular promotion to the next grade. But the greatest pride will be felt wheu two months later the seniors graduate under the staffs approval and requirements for stan dard school work. Patrons of Bethel, the county of Cabarrus looks to you and recognizes you as the pace setters for standard school work among her rural schools. You will continue the good work that you have begun. The Bethel school principal will re turn to the community in the inter est of the summer school as sooto its he gets dried out from a Fourth of July picnic rain. WEAVERS PROBABLY PLAY SATURDAY AT KANNAPOLIS PARK Plans Under Way to Have Second Concord-Kannapo lis Contest at Cabarrus In stead of Gibson Park. The Weaver-Toweler- game may be played at the Cabarrus park. Kan napolis, Saturday afternoon instead of Gibson Mill park. Negotiations to change the scene of battle to the Kan napolis diamond were started this morning by officials of the Toweler ball association. Manager C. Manly Lewellyn was unable to say if wheth er any agreement had been reached. Gibson park will be inadequate to accommodate the expected throng for the Saturday game, and Webb field will not be ready for use by that time. It is for these reasons that it seems highly probable that the ordeal will be fought on the Kannapolis diamond. At Hotel Concord. Guests registered at Hotel Coneard Monday included: E. H.

LIGHTNING KILLS AGED NEGRO WHEN CAUGHT IN FIELD “Uncle” Dick Morris Struck on J. Ed. Caldwell Farm Near Harrisburg During Storm Tuesday. “Uncle” Dick Morris, aged negro, was killed by lightning Tuesday af ternoon at the J. Ed. Caldwell farm near Harrisburg. The storm caused damage in the Harrisburg community to fruit trees, an unusually heavy rain fall being accompanied by wind which reached proportions of a gale (luring the afternoon. Morris was killed as he was return ing to his home from a field where he had been plowing. When the rain began falling he unhitched his mule from the plow and. started tQta barn, being about 200 from the barn When struck. were torn into shreds, one shoe was split open and his cap torn by the lightning. The frightened mule ran to*the barn when the orhsh came, and Mr. Cald well, who was standing on the porch of his home waiting for the negro, did not know he had been killed until some time later when he sent a boy to learn why the mule lmd returned without a driver. “Uncle Dick was about 75 years of age and was widely known in the Har risburg community. The Caldwell farm is in Mecklenburg county, just over the Cabarrus line. The storm struck in that commun ity about 4:30, and trees were lashed by the fury of the wind, a number of the smaller ones being uprooted while limbs anil branches were twist ed from the larger ones. Fruit trees, especially, were victims of the wind. So far as could be learned today no other serious damage resulted from the storm, although it was .reported that throughout townships Nos/ 1, 2 and 3 wind swept with such fury that damage was caused on a number of farms. The storm which broke about 4:30 was centered for the most part over these townships, and while there was lightning and a heavy rain here, the wind at that hour was not as high in Concord as it had been when the first storm struck here about 2:30.
