CITY MAY HAVE ' TWO BALL CLUBS IN NEAR FUTURE Plans Have Been Launched j ‘ to Organize Cluh Sepa-' rate From Concord Weav-i ers, It Is Learned. Movement has been instituted for the oraauizatiop .of another baseball' team ni Con cor (T in order that the thirst of loeal fans for more ball games here each week might be quenched. As the situation now stands, it is. pointed out by a leader in the move-: ment. Concord can never hoj»e to have more than three games a week, where as another team would give additional* games. The new organization will be en tirely separate from the Ooticod Weav ers. and it has been suggested that it he known as the Concord Y. M. C.. A. team. Under the tentative plans the new organization would employ l some of the members of the Weaver team to play on days when the’ Weavers have no games scheduled. A schedule would be followed close-' ly and prevent any possibility of both teams playing games on the same day. Just what developments along this line will remains to he determined. The new organization could not employ all of the Weaver players in asmuch as college men are not allowed, to play more than three games each; week This would, of course, eliminate Chink Outen from play on the new club. Final action is expected to be taken, in the very near future in regard to' : the proposed Y. M. C. A. team. Sportsmen believe that Concord will easily support at least four games at pome weekly. DR.

STABLES AT FAIR ' GROUND REPAIRED AND CHANGES MADE i t Roof, Which Was Blown Off Replaced by New One.— Stands Moved From Edge ? of Midway Location. Repairs to the stables: at the fail grounds which were damaged last week when about 300 feet of roof was blown off. have been completed,; Dr. T. N. Spencer, secretary of the fair association, announced this morn-f ing. An entirely new roof was construct ed to cover those stables which were bared when the old roof was snatched' from its base and hurled into an ad joining road. This gives the entire stable, with 85 stalls, practically a new roof, as most of the stalls were rebuilt last year. » Dr. Spencer also stated that stands which formerly occupied places along: the edge of the Midway location are* being moved. They will be-stationed nearer the grandstand hereafter. “It is necessary to move these stands,” Dr. Bpencer said, “to make room for the Reuben and Cherry Shows which will occupy the Midway this year. . These shows carry al most twice as many attractions as other shows which have exhibited’ here, and the additional space is a : necessity.” Dr. Spencer achfed that 1 it requires 40 cars to move this giant show troupe and equipment. “We will be ready, all right when fair week comes around,” Dr. Spencer' said. “When we have to do anything we do it now, thus avoiding the un certainty that usually accompanies delay.” Workmen started repairing :.the stables two days after the storm ■ •had struck them and the work w-as completed yesterday. The ghat of Beuares is the place of * cremations for deceased vßrahamins. *’ TRiCORCOfcD TIMES NEWBURY IN FORM AS WEAVERS LICK MT. HOLLY 3 TO 1 Concord’s Hurling Ace Turns in His Fourth Consecutive Win, Yielding Only Three Hits. by RADIO KING Uenry Newbury knows his soup bone. The smiling Concord ace boost ed his streak of consecutive wine to four at Webb field Wednesday after noon, yielding only three ecattered hits as the fast-stepping Weavers trounced Mount Holly, 3 to 1. He controlled his sizzling flings with ex cellence to tense the visitors into sub mission. Some lmir-rasing, lieart-jumpiug fielding''gave added color to the nifty hurling performance of the Weaver right-hander. 'Out in the right gar den in the ninth the fans whooped things up with exciting delight when Marvin Watts made a wonderful catch of a liner from the bat of “Chesty” Cross. Dashing at full speed Watts got his glove on the sphex*e .as he started falling headlong. Before spill ing {urnself be shot the pellet to the Concord centerfielder w-ho had bleed up. Mount Holly’s lone tally was pre sented by the Weavers iu the seventh canto wlieu three errors and Huff stettler's single allowed Thompston to score. The visiting Yarners threat ened only one before in the game. That was in the second inning when JElason and Holt each got singles. Keen fielding crushed all chances for this rally to bloom. Moo«e was touched for ten socks by Lindy LeweUyn’s team, but the Mount Holly moundsman kept them well separated for the first five frames, after that he began weakening rapid ly. Miller started things rolling right for the Weavers when he poled a three-base drive in the fifth and scored when the third baseman let the relay from the outfield get by him. In the sixth merry-go-round Grea son and Daugherty hit a triple and a double, respectively, scoring the for mer. In the eighth Greason, Daugh erty and Outen nailed the sphere for singles, and Daugherty crossed the plate to give the locals the third score. The game was snappy with the ex ception of the awful seventh when Irwin Watts, flashy Weaver back stop, had to retire from the game from an injury to his right thumb. The ball struck Watts on the thumb, ■playing havoc with the nail. Outen was called out of rightfield to catch and Marvin Watts filled in «Outen’s outfield post. j Harry Daugherty had a tough time of it in the seventh also. But for > tunateiy none of his bobbles proved , very costly, and he offset this by col . leoting two timely hits to put his teaig in front. Meet !*aw Creek Today. ! (AHs Haury or Bob Morris will . hurl for the Weavers this afternoon against Paw; Creek or Kendall Miljs at Webb field. The game begins at ■ 3 o'clock. Irwin Watts will probab ly be unable'to play because of the injury he suffered to this thumb Wed nesday. THE BOX SCORE: MT. HOLLY ABKH PO A E !

A variety of street work is claim ing attention of the city street de partment. In addition to the work be ing doue by the department workers, sidewalks are being laid or chapged by contractors employed by the city*. Recently a cement sidew*alk was laid on South Union street from the point where the city limits formerly ended to a point where they now end. At present part of the street force is engaged in grading the north side walk on McGill street, working west from Spring street. Part of the street force also is en gaged now in sealing cracks in the as phalt streets, this work having been underway for the past several weeks. By sealing the cracks before they become of any size, it is possible to strengthen the general surface of a street and prevent the appearance of big cracks that eventually become holes. * you’ve been having an argument with your wife.

Campbell Morgan Tells Audience at First Presbyterian Church on Wednesday Night. “Those who have the most right to sing ‘My Country ’Tis of Thee’ are the ones who stand by the word of God,” asserted Dr. G. Campbell Mor gan at the dose of his brilliant and [ on “The Bible the Nation” before a large and at tentive audience at the First Presby terian Church Wednesday night. Speaking entirely from a national viewpoint Dr. Morgan put hie theme ;in the interrogatory—“ Has the na tional life outgrown the Bible?” He ■ answered the question thus: “The at titude of the nation has been that of looking at the Bible ns something which has been outgrown,” and he i supported this statement with two convincing illustrations, i He spoke of the city of Glasgow, ! Scotland, giving citation of its motto: . “Let Glasgow Flourish.” The lecturer , described the motto as pagan, the very' | essence of selfishness. What about the place he called home? Did Glas . gow want to prosper and let his home i town perish, he questioned an inti mate friend. i But that was not all of the motto of Glasgow, his friend let it be known —merely an abbreviation of “Let Glasgow flourish by the preaching of the Word.” This motto had been • mutilated, robbed of its original mean ing as it was understood 300 years' , before. “Why has it been abbrevi-’ . ated‘( Because the national attitude i is looking at the Bible as something which has been outgrown,” cried Dr. . Morgan. Next Dr. Morgan narrated the in i stance of a farm laborer of Scotland 1 who was eager to master reading. He r let his ambition be known to a cler gyman who helped him for an hour ■ each day for a period of six months, t Then the minister fell ill and had to leave his parish. When recuperated ■ the minister returned, and immediate-- ■ Iy he desired to know the progress ‘ of his keen student. 1 He ascertained from the wife of the farm laborer that her husband had . pursued reading with diligence while ! he was away, and could read well. . "The clergyman then snid to the wife, . he can begin rending the Bible.’ ‘But; my husband has left the Bible al- ! ready; he is reading the newspapers,’ , replied the wife.” snid Dr. Morgan. ‘ i “Which are you most interested , in,” Dr. Morgan questioned his audi ence. “the Bible or the president’s ad , dress in the newspaper? Who is anxious to read the morning news- I paper than the Bible?” Declaration lias been made in nea » demic quarters, according to Dr. Mor gan. that the Bible has been in scientific, philosophic and theolog- I ieal values by students who are tak ing the word of the teachers, and spraying it over more space than . tertehers intended. “Suppose we havei outgrown the Bible scientifically: does; , that mean we have outgrown it for ; national purposes?” the leethver ex claimed. “Are there any values of the Bible*' , we* may draw today into our na- : | tioiial strength, purity and beauty?- We have four values. In the Bible I you Jiave the moral conception out of. which the great civilizations have ( sprung for the past 2.000 years. In ( the Bible you have the interpretation ,of all philanthropies. In the Bible I you have the interpretation of human I nature which created discontentment , against false conditions. From thet I Bible you have the declaration of the God of the universe.**- Tlie speaker treated the first value ; —moral Conception out of which grew the great civilization —lengthy. “What i d« we mean by civilization?” he asked. ; I)r. Morgan illnstrated civilization as i. the order of life, directing attention i to the difference of civilization gen- 1 i orally from one age to another. Im -1 petus to his point was added by dis -1 mission the Athenian civilization, i 1 He reviewed the highest point of -1 Athenian civilization when 21.000 people were emancipated from work, free to do nothilig. while thousands of slaves were dying—working them selves to death—in order that the select 21.000 people might have noth ing to do. “You wouldn’t call that civilization today would you? No!. But certainly you would describe it ns barb. o rows. How did the bhange come? It came from thought gained from tl e Bible—moral conception.” Still dealing with civilizhtion Dr. Morgan said: “Why did you as a great nation come into the recent war? There was no earthly reason why you should have come. You don’t need anything from JEurope. That war was the result of Europe’s selfish ness.7 I)r. Morgan denounced war in his discourse and expressed the hope that the United States would not cancel the war debts of foreign na-.- tions. particularly two nations which he did not name, stating that can cellation of, their debts to the United States would only allow them to get ready for war again. Dr. Morgan spoke of the strange! paradox of science during the war, j, dedicated to human destruction and i to human safety. He selected the j battlefield for his illustration, shoeing ' here the instruments of science to de stroy and save Tinman life.. The j .great guns and poisonous gases 4o ( f destroy while the Red Cross sought to j save, men were treated against pos-, 1 sible attack of etc. The creation of the Red "Cross, Dr. * Morgan stated, is no mere capacious i accident. When Jesus hung on Cal- A vary, men saw the birth of plulan-.. 4 thropies and began to help suffering humanity. —* ?

I MAN WHO MURDERED BROTHER OF LOCAL MAN FOUND GUILTY Mills Moore, Who Killed Po liceman T. R. Penninger, at Sharon, Near York, S. C., Given Life Term. # 1 y Mills Moore, who killed nine years 1 ago at Sharon. S C.. Policeman T. R. [ Peninger. brother of A. H. PCninger, of East Corbin street. Concord, drew . life imprisemhent Wednesday after i noon following trial in York county • criminal court. Moore, who entered a plea of guilty to murder with recom mendation to mercy, barely escaped the electric chair. The jury, despite the recominenda ! tion of Judge M. M. Mann and Solic itor J. L.TwkGlenu, threatened to find 1 tht* defendant guilty bf ’ first degree murder which automatically carries ] death by electrocution. . A York dispatch says in part: The action of the jury, their strik ing reluctance to heed the recommen dation of the solicitor ami the trial judge, was without a parallel in York . county court* annak; and is said to be , without a precedent in the state. Judge Mann advised the jury that neither he nor the solicitor could bind them to bring in the verdict suggested but that both could recommend this . step. The jury seemed determined and for a time, despite the action of the solicitor and the court, the death (diair loomed ominously for the slayer . of the Sharon police. ’ The trial began at J) o’clock and no difficulty was experienced in obtaining I a jury. The state rested its case at 11 o’clDck, after placing on the stand 12 witnesses. Thomas F. MeDow, of York, coun sel for Moore, then announced that ; his client was willing to plead guilty to murder with a recommendation to mercy, which would mean life impris . onment. Solicitor Glenn, promptly announc ed the willingness of the state to ac cept this plea. He followed this by saving that he was in the most diffi-i cult position of his professional ea-. reer. that there was strong opposition to his acceptance of the defense prop osition but that in so doing he was guided by his convictions. Judge Mann announced his acquies-, cenee to the step taken by the state, saying that the court’s action was tak *en under compulsion of conscience in the light of the facts and circum stances. | The jury retired at 11:15 aud 15 minutes later returned for informa tion from the court. Foreman B. H. Matthews asked if sentence could be imposed on Moore in such away that, he would never be paroled. Judge Mann advised that th ; s was impossible. He then fraukly told # the jury that a verdict of murder without, recommendation would, not stand in : the courts. The jury then retired fpr the second time and at 12:45 brought in a ver dict of guilty with recommendation to mercy and Moore was sentenced to jfimprisonment in the penitentiary for life, i The principal witness for the state jwas J. L. Whitesides, mayor of Sha rou at the time of the killing and an eye-witness of the tragedy. He told how* Frank Moore, brother of Mills Moore, began the row by striking Peninger in the head with a pistol and how Mills Moore then shot the policeman in the back. Frank Moore, was captured soon after the* killing,’ convicted of com plicity and sentenced to serve 10 years but within a few months es caped from the ehaingang. —~ - 1 In the French Nigerian, court of Sultan Barmour, Mohammedan tradi tions are carefully preserved.
