Gain; to Be Complete in August, j

The Mecklenburg county tax rate

THE CONCORD TIMES
WARNED TO GUARD
AGAINST TYPHOID
Disease Prevalent This Year, Dr.
Nicoll Says.*
New* York Sun.
That there is more need this sum
mer than in recent years to guard
against typhoid infection is the wann
ing broadcast last night by I>r. Mat
thias Nicoll, Jr., Commissioner of
Health for New York State.
Pointing to the prevalence of ty
phoid fever in various communities,
he said: “At home every one knows
about the conditions under which his
food is prepared. The quality of the
water and the milk supply can usually
be determined with but little effort.
Yet the very people who are most
particular regarding the purity of the
food which they eat and the* milk
and water which they drink are often
the very ones who blithely sally forth
on their vacation, eating at the first
wayside stand that comes into sight
after their appetite calls, and often
tlrinking the water offered, without
the slightest idea whether it comes
from a pure mountain brook or a pol
luted wayside stream.
“Thus they go to their destination,
spend their happy hours of idleness
and return home with the same woeful
disregard of what goes into their
stomachs so long as •it tastes good,
perhaps to suffer for months after
ward or even to lose their lives be
cause of their negligence.
“There is one very sure method of
protecting one’s self from typhoid fe
ver—namely, vaccination against this
disease; but do not rely upon this pre
ventive treatment unless you take it
at least two to three weeks before
you go away, as three innoculations
are necessary, given a full week
apart.”
NEW RULES TO
CURB FISHING
Uniform Regulations Adopted For
All Waters in North Carolina.
Raleigh, July 18. —Anglers, seek
ing recreation along the steams of
the state, will in the future be gov
erned by uniform regulations apply
ing to all of the waters, allowing for
geographical variations, the board of
conservation and development an
nounced tonights -
The new rules established uniform
open and c.osed seasons, designating
commercial and inland fishing
waters, establish size and bag limits,
and regulate the sale of game fish.
Partition of waters into the “com
mercial” and “inland” group i—es
tablishes a system by which the
board simplifies the application of
regulations and sets up a guide ‘‘in
the consideration and publication of
regulations.
A special rule, promulgated by
the board, makes it unlawful to take
or kill fish in any “inland” waters of
the state except with hook and line,
rod and reel, or by casting, except
shad and herring, which ( may be
taken in specified waters with skim
or Sti&e gill nets only from January
1 tjfcMay 1.
Among the streams on which
specification apply are the Yadkin
river below Bluitt Falls, and the
Cape Fear river below the locks.

Stanly News-Herald.
Stanly County criminal court ad

ing after having swung wide the
gates of the Anson County chain
gang for six negroes and one white
man. Solltitor Don Phillips, true to
past records convicted every man he
tried during this term of court. One
negro was heard to remark that. “If
dat man Phillips gits a chance at
you, better gwyne’ an’ git yo’ pick
and shovel ready.” Much truth in
that statement.
Willie Love, construction negro,

money from the store of G. M. Dry

The jury found him guilty after a
few minutes and Judge Oglesby

. in store as the result of arrangements
* for an afternoon’s cruise on the waters
1 of the surrounding sounds aboard the

, Commission.
1 Through the courtesy of Wade H.
! Phillips, director of the Department

* the association, has already accepted
the invitation in behalf of the as

Whether the cruise will be Thurs

1 been decided, but it is expected that
it will probably be Friday afternoon,
Phillips said today, though the exact
date has been left until Miss Cobb
can confer with Captain J. A. Nelson,
Fisheries Commissioner, and com
jmander of the fisheries fleet.
In addition to the cruisers Pamlico
I and Atlantic, belonging to the com
mission,' Captain Nelson has also ar
ranged with the U. S. Coast Guard
service to secure one of the Coast
Guard cutters, so that sufficient boats
■ will be provided to take all of the
members of the association who wish
to make the cruise.
There are many points of interest
in the vicinity of Morehead City which
can only be reached by water, includ
ing historic old Fort Macon and Cape
Lookout. These may be visited, or
it may be decided to cruise up Core
sound toward Pamlico sound, or up
the Inland waterway.

GRANDFATHER OF NEW
D. A. R. FOUGHT IN 1776
Northwest Pioneer Believed the Oldest
Woman to Join Patriotic Society.
Minneapolis, July 16.; —Mrs. Martha
Langdon Conkey, Northwest pioneer
and granddaughter of a soldier in the
Revolutionary War, believes a woman
is never too old to try something new.
That’s why, at the age of ninety
eight years, she is the newest mem
ber of Old Trails Chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion. Officials of the society say
Mrs. Conkey probably is the oldest
woman who ever joined it.
Mrs. Conkey cami to the Northwest
in 1849 and has lived in Minneapolis
since 1872. She is one of the few
real granddaughters of the Revolution
living.
Mrs. Conkey comes of old New Eng
land stock. She is a descendant of
George Langdon, who came to this
country from England in 1636. Her
grandfather and great-grandfather* on
both maternal and parental lines
served in the Revolutionary War.
They were Lieut. Col. Miles Powell,
Capt. Noah Langdon and Seth Lang

WEAVERS LOSE TO
KENDALL CLUB AT 1
WEBB EIELD, 4 TO 1
The Crippled Weavers Poor
Fielding and Chris Hau
ry’s Frequent Wildness
Gave Visitors a Win.
By RADIO KING.
Spurts of wildness by Pitcher Chris
Haury and wobbly fielding by. his
mates enabled the Kendall Mill club
to hold the superior hand, and Con
cord lost to the visitors, 4 to 1, at
Webb field Thursiday afternoon.
The box score shows that the Paw
Creek foe earned only one of its fonr
tallies, either erratic hurling or weak
fielding directly accounting for the
others. Concord'** single run was
earned, a zipping single for the bat
of Bob M°rris sending Murray Grea
son from second across the plate in
the sixth canto. Murray had reached
second on a steal after forcing Hord
who had singled.
Haury hurled a sensational brand
of ball at times, but his lack of con
trol was the same as a dynamite
charge to his better pitching. He
yielded six biugles, which coupled with
his erratic play, and the bobbles by
his mates in the pinches, put Kendall
Mills far in front.
George Smith, the portsider who
hurled Paw Creek to a triumph over
the Weavers some f weeks ago, related
Thursday. The South Carolina south
paw gave up four hits, and struckout
six men in a row in the second, third
and fourth Tunings. The lad had al
most perfect control, and had more
twisters on his offerings than a torn
ado.
With the exception of the sixth
inning the game seemed to have little
interest for Concord fans. The ordeal
was stretched out over a period of two
hours. Dewey Miller, Weaver left
fielder, was given a number of pres
ents by local merchants for knocking
the first three-bagger at Webb field..
He accomplished the feat in the battle
with Mount Holly Wednesday.
Two Weaver regulars were out of
the’ line-up against Kendall Mills,
Manager Lindy Lewellyn having
wrenched his back Wednesday after
noon as he swung at a ball, and Catch
er Irwin Watts is out of the game
for some time because of an injured
thumb. Irwin was hurt in the Wed
nesday game also. Chick Miller took
Lou’s place at first, and Chink Outen
acted as backstop.
Paw Creek was presented with a
marker in the opening shots. Yyith
the bases drimk, Haury 'issued a free
pass to first to Werner, and Johnson
walked home, In the eighth Reep
led off with the only double of the
ordeal. A wild pitch got him down
to third. Stewart hit an easy roller
to the torrid corner, and it seemed
apparent that Reep would be caught
at the plate.
Daugherty made a perfect throw
to Outen, and Reep was declared put.
only to be called safe again as Outen
dropped the sphere. A tought break,
we call it. Another wild pitch let
Stewart march to second. A sacrifice
got Stewart down to third, and an
error in relaying the ball back to the
infield after Smith had flew out left
field, allowing Stewart to chalk up.
Singles by Stewart and Smith account
ed for the final Paw Creek score.
The locals will rest today, and to
morrow afternoon at 4 o’clock will
meet Gastonia at Webb field.
