We, the people of Cabarrus county, as public spirited and patriotic as any people on the face of the earth, must do our- part by giving our share to ward marking this memorial a suc cess. ’ Duripg Ihe dark days of the war when we all so freely gave our time and lmjney both in wiling and buying Liberty’ Bonds, and sacrificed our time and energy in the ranks of our army and najr'y. And as we vividly recall how abxiously we watched the cas ualty ljst fearing that the next would include our father, our brother or our son. how gladly then would we have been willing to give without hesita tion the money necessary to bfiild a thousand memorial chapels if such would 'have made it possible for the war to end sooner. Those days of strain hind sorrow and anxiety are fast fading from our memories. Be fore w£ become cold and indifferent to the sacrifice our soldiers made, please may I 4 urge that we give liberally this week toward this permanent and only state-wpde memorial.

June 4. denied today that he told Charlotte police officers he had a part in the slaying of Cyrus M. Fink, young 'Charlotte mechanic and choir singer. Devlin declared today that he told the Charlotte officers that he knew absolutely nothing of the actual kill ing of' the .voting man. He repeated and rpiterated time and again what he said he related to the police when they Interviewed him in Forsyth jail June 7. How,ever, the story he told a news paper man today, in the presence of two witnesses, is identical with the alleged confession given out bv the Charlotte police so far as concerns the movements of Devlin aiidilis “buddy" immediately preceding the moment of the nu|rder and subsequently. He admitted walking up the rail road tracks from Ninth street with his “buddy" about 10:30 o'clock on the night of the Fink murder, and hearing him ask a man they met for a match. bn,t claims not to have wit nessed] the killing. He said that he was two paces ahead of his ‘‘buddy" on the opposite path alongside Hie railroad tracks. He tsiked back once, he said, and saw the stranger reach into his jiocket as if to get the match. Devlin said he Continued up the railroad traces witboijt again looking hack and the next tjmp he saw his companion was after tnidnight. in the latter's home. His-"buddy" was in bed, he said, but tabled his (Devlin’s) attention to a Hamilton watch to which was at tached] a piece of chain, on a table' iu the] center of the room. “Yup see I have a watch." Devlin quoted] his “buddy" as paying. "Yes. where did you get it?" Dev lin sail l he replied. \“I have some money, too." the “budd.t" is alleged to have continued. “I will see you tomorrow morning.” Devin declared that was all that was sijid that night. The next morn ing, he)said, his “buddy" gave him SSO and t<|ld him to ssvv nothing about The [negro could not be shaken from Ilfs finlt narration and lie consistently "refusei to fall into a trap during the iutervi tw in the jail here today. Deli in does not look like a- man who v ouhl deliberately take the life of an< ther. He m-ed good English during! the interview and showed a degree* of intelligence above that of the aterage negro. The slaying of Deputy Sheriff Yarborough and- Ihe shootipg of a negro in Salisbury' were done, he said, while he was under the influence of cocaine and whiskey. He blamed women, liquor and drugs for his sqdden downfall. Apparently he has a fair education for a' negro and reads and writes. His reading material since he was in carcerated in jail is a torn and much used Bible, which he held constantly in his- hands during a two-hour inter view today. In referring to the Bible he saql he believed a man who S sinucd was lost unless “be got right.” Devlin was born in Birmingham, Ala., but moved with his mother to Anderson, S. C., when a lad. He grew up in South Carolina and ,his mother, Nellie Devlin, still lives in Anderson. He has lieen writing to her since he was placed in jail, he said. .Devlin had lived in Charlotte about eight months and claims to have been employed at various times in . defferent jobs.

A memorial service was recently conducted at the grave of * Nancy Hanks Lincoln, mother of Abraham Lincoln, at Lincoln City. Ind.. by the Spencer County Historical So ciety. The burial place is in a park. A fund of $1,000,000 is being raised to make it a national shrine. Near the park is a monument marking the spot where the old Lincoln cabin stood. which cabin will probably be reproduced in the nww park plan. A mile away stands the Little Pigeon Baptist Church where young “Abe" attended church and where his sister Sarah lies buried. It is but a short distance to Roekport where Lincoln borrowed books from local lawyers, and where he left on the flntboat for New Or leans to have his first experience with slavery. For many years the grave of Nancy Hanks was unmarked. Then in 1879 a monument was erected by Mr. Peter Studebaker. of South Bend, and still later another monu ment was erected. About 25 years ago the plot containing the grave was purchased by Spencer county, and later turned over to the state for maintenance and preservation as a historical shrine. Efforts' are now being made to secure all of the original Thomas Lincoln farm and to restore it as nearly as possible to die condition in which young Lin coln found it when he came to live in the county in 1811.. It was in Spencer county that Lincoln lived for 14 years. Gov. Jackson recently stated that Nancy Hanks Lincolni grave “is the greatest monument to Abraham Lincoln himself.” Just Reward. ‘‘Rut.’ protested the new arrival, as St. Peter handed him a golden trumpet. “I can't play this instru ment. I never practiced while on earth.” “Os course you didn’t.” chuckled the old saint. "That’s why vou are here.” THE CONCORD TIMES CHEST CLINIC TO OPEN IN CONCORD NEXt MONDAY A.

Albemarle Press. Leo Gabriel. Jr., of Badiu is a very unhappy youth today— lie is out of a job. Young Gabriel is very popular with the golf players on the Badiu course, where he has been one of the caddies.; He has developed into a real first class caddie. But now they have gone and fired him. It seems that one of the players of the popular .pastime did not like the way young Gabriel handled his clubs—so off the course lie wins sent and another caddie was secured to tuke his place. Leo was secured by one of the "golf zugs as a caddie last week. He was standing on Jhe teoing-grouud with the aforesaid "golf bug.” hold ing his clubs for him- But lo! he let one of them drop and it fell on the golf bag nearby. With a violent crash, something was broken. It brought tears tg young Ga briel’s eyes, for he was sure that he had broken several golf clubs. He made an investigation. But not that, the order told otherwise. The youth found that lie had made ’way with the “golf bug’s” supply of “bottled in bond.” The “sols bug” gave the youth a lecture, paid hini off and went his way. An Everlasting Ticket. A railway official on an English North-country railway obtained leave of absence to get married, and was given a, pass (for: the journey. When lie reached the ticket collector, the bridegroom. « rather flustered, pulled out his marriage certificate instead of the railway paws, and showed it to him.

George Van Slyke in New York £un. The Republican national committee favors going "somewhere west of the Mississippi” for its convention next year at which its nominee for Presi ■tftht will be selected. Charles D. Hi Ilea, national committeeman from New York, has completed a canvas of the committee and has found that the sentiment is overwhelmingly in favor of the West and against the East. Mr. Hilles started out quietly last winter to promote New York as the convention site. Finding there was no opposition on the part of the Wash ington administration to his enter prise if that was what the party really wanted. Mr. Hilles made a thorough job of it. On his trip through the states last spring he talked New York and followed that up by communicat ing with the national committeemau. The responses are almost unani mous against bringing the 1928 con vention to the metropolis. Some of , the members set up the Madison Square fiasco as sufficient reason for the Republicans not considering New ■ York, although admitting the superior advantages of this city and a natural wish to come here. The political con sideration dominates, however, and that appears to dictate that the Re publicans must make their bid to the West. Wit!) a view to appeasing the corn belt area where Coolidge and the Re publican party are experiencing tlieir most serious partisan troubles, the managers believe that taking tire con vention there would have a soothing effect. It would show friendliness to the West. That iu connection with Nthe President’s proposal to spend his vacation in the West this summer may help markedly to improve the sit uation in the grain states. Chicago is considered out of the con test of cities' for the convention, due mainly to the attitude of Mayor Thompson who is a self-proclaimed candidate for the nomination for President. Further, Frank O. Low ilen and Vice President Dawes, both of Illinois, are candidates. San Francisco is making a strong bid aiid may get the convention. St. Louis, Kansas City and Denver have tlieir friends in the committee. Sev eral midwesteru cities are also after the convention. Cleveland is favored by some because Coolidge was named there in 1924 and if he i« to be nomi nated again some pf his friends say it would be a good start of the cam paign to go back to that city. Mr. Ham Closes Revival Career. Danville. Va., 18.—Rev. M. F.
