Pal- j mer in Recorder’s Court First Halt* of Year. Thpse persons who detoured from the straight and narrow pathway, and ! violted the iron-clad law’s of the Con cord city code from .Tanui-.ry Ist to June 3rd. 1027, doubtless have dis covered it rather expensive as well as humiliating. The report of Chief of Police L. A. Talb>m, made public today and for the six-months period ! show's that Judge A. B. Palmer, ruler f of the city court, assessed wrong-doers in fines and cost* to the amount of $7,- 753.38. Many of those who went amiss of the city laws, and who are penitent, may find consolation in the fact that $4,404.32 of the total collected in fines and costs goes to the Cabarrus county school fund. The latter figures rep resent the amount of fines either paid i or forfeited. The remainder of the j total, $3,259.0d, represents the costs to the city. The average amount of fines and costs imposed monthly during this lieriod totals $1,242.23. The personnel of the Concord police department has been kept busy if these costs and fines may be taken as a barometer. Court machinery has | operated at a rather swift pace to keep the docket clear. The fines and costs imposed upon defendants cover a varied field of misdemeanors, in cluding drunkenness, speeding, fight ing. disorderly conduct, violation of traffic regulations, larceny, etc. Embarrassed The Newlyweds. Doris’ mother was entertaining n young couple just returned from their honeymoon. INiris. feeling neglected, sat a little apart reciting nursery rhymes in a loud voice to attract at tention to herself. Little notice was taken <tf her until the conversation slackened a bit, then she was heard reciting, “Needles and pins, needles and pins, when a man marries—” she hestiHitvd striving to recall the re raaiodqr the <louplet. Suddenly her brow *When a man marries the cradle will rock." she finished triumphantly, and she wondered why she was sent : out of the room. “Poor Miss Symour came near get- ! 1 ting herself into trouble last night. | She started, according to her usual habit, to look under her bed —” “Well?” “Well, her bed at the time hap -1 pened to be an upper berth in a sleeping car.” GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TO BE CELEBRATED Rev. and Mrs. J.

SUPftY STATISTICS MAINTENANCE RURAL SCHOOLS IN COUNTY Supt. S. G. Hawfield Gives j Interesting Data on Up* j keep of Cabarrus Rural. Schools.

G. Hawfield, super intendent of Cabarrus schools. Cabarrus in this respent ranks in 79th position in the state, while ad jacent counties hold positions far be low this mark. Comparative figures show that Mecklenburg’s per capita expenditure was $23.67 -or almost one third more than Cabarrus. A table . showing the per capita expense of surrounding counties follows: County Per Capita Rank Mecklenburg $23.67 14 Rowan 22.06 23 Iredell 19.42 40 Stanly - 17.05 65 Union 16 38 78 Cabarrus 16.09 79 The per capita average for the state of North Carolina in rural schools is $19.09, Cabarrus being even $3.00 short of this mark, s it is observed. Cabarrue spent $110,483.97 for its teaching and supervision in rural schools during the post session, while Mecklenburg spent more than twice this amount. A table showing the expenditures for these two impol-tuut elements in school work of adjacent counties follows: County Expenditure Mecklenburg $284,916.26 Union 188.331.*2 Iredell 154,806.20 Stanly 133,270.60 Cabarrus .. 110,433.97 Out of every hundred students en rolled in the Cabnrrus schools during the session of 1924-25, slightly more than five per cent, attended high school or about four per cent, below the state average, an interesting table shows.

The Literary Guild .of America. ; in a letter to us, asserts: “Bernard Shaw once said: T am writing you a long letter because I haven't time to write you a short one.’ ” This is goo*, as tar as it sue*, but it doefeo't gq far enough. This witticism appeared in the Pathfinder long before Bernard Shaw or the Literary Guild of America were ever beard of. But it "wasn’t original with the Pathfinder at that. Some authorities attribute it to Talleyrand, the French (statesman, who lived in the 18th century. It was used a century be fore that by Pascal, the French re ligious writer, .in a letter dated December 4. 1650. It is found 16 centuries before that in a letter of the younger Pliny a Roman author who lived in the first century of the Christian era. | And as Pliny drew verv freely from a large number of Greek and other earlier writers it is probable that he got the idea from some such ; .source. We hope the Literary Guild of America will delve into this interest ing question and trace down the original author. We mu*t protest against their giving the efedit for it to Bernard Shaw—►that egotistical satirist who already envoys a vastly greater amount of free publicity than he is entitled to. Credit it to Mark Twain or O. Henry or Will Rogers or Andy Gump or Uncle Eli —but not Shaw. Oh, pshaw! * Two Big Counters Ladies Sil in full Fashion.
