ELECTION OF LIPPARD MAY BE HELD UP Telegram From Mrs. Kate Burr John son bik's Election Invalidated. Albemarle Press. David S. Lippard was elected wel fare officer of Stanly county on Mon day of last week, in a joint session of the county boards of coihmiasiou ers and education. At that joint session, the chairman of the body did not vote, there being four for Lippard and three for Moss. Mr. Lippard was declared the nomi nee. The welfare department at Ral eigh was notified. Ffbm the informa tion given, Mrs. Kate Burr Johnston, State welfare superintendent, - wired the office of the superintendent of schools as follows: âHave been informed county board welfare will not approve Lippard. This invalidates election. Joint meeting of boards should be held at early date to elect superintendent. Moss sarve* until he or successor is elected.â As a result, the members of both boards met in Albemarle yesterday for conference. There is apparently no fight on Mr. Lippard, and sinco the welfare department at Raleigh ts in authority, the local boards will act at such time as it becomes plain ns to what their duty is- under the premises. The county welfare board htw as yet taken no official action in the 'Mat ter, and there is nothing of oheial nature to affirm that th.*s board iÂť op posed to Lippard. If it is. then It is very apparent that a oindidnte must be found who ia acoet table to this board.

O. P. CONVENTION M.W 4 T o âFRISCO National Commute man Crocker of California Optimistic After Talk With Hilles. New York World. San Francisco probably will be the 'scene of the Republican National Con vention of -1928. According jto a statement made yes terday by W. H. Crocker, Republican National Committeeman from Califor nia. after a conference with Charles I). Hilles, Vice Chairman of the com mittee, a majority of the members of that organization already have ex pressed a preference for San Francisco and the only thing that can prevent its selection is the flat veto of Presi dent Coolidge or of National Chair man William M. Butler. But Mr. Coolidge. if he follows the advice of those who are most interest ed in promoting his third term candi dacy, is not likely to interfere.' His friends a*4 reported to be looking for a place where there will be no local aspirants for the Presidency, who might put obstructions in the way of the third term train. San Fran cisco meets this requirement. Hiram Johnson being pretty much down and out politically: Mr. Crocker has been able to give definite assurance Cali fornia will have no candidate. v Mr. Crocker, who recently returned from Europe, was met in New York by Jerome B. handheld, who has been making a canvass of the National Committeemen. Together they visited Mr. Hilles, who is understood to have been convinced there is no chance of bringing the convention to New York, as he once planned. San Francisco has underwritten a $250,000 fund to guarantee the con vention expeuses. Mr. Crocker said he also had received promises the hotels would not increase their rates, and that large reductions in railroad rates also might be expected. âWhile the President and Mr. But ler naturally canot commit them selves,*â the Committeeman from Cali fornia said, âand members of the National Committee are bound to pay attention to their wish, if they see lit to express one, it is certain that a majority of (he members of the National Committee have expressed themselves in favor of San Francisco.â Mr. Crocker pointed out the Ban Francisco convention hall would seat 12.(MM). He said it was within fifteen minutesâ walk of all the principal hotels. , " Uncut Ruby is Discovered in Chicken Craw. Franklin. N. (\, July 22.âAn un cut ruby, the size of a pecan, well rounded and half polished by con stant rubbing against other and smaller stones, was found the omer day by Lee Mason, of the Cowee section pf this county, in the craw of one *f his hens, when the chicken was killed- Though the stone is uncut, held to the light it is revealed as a re markably beautiful gem. mat tact, added to its size, makes it of con siderable value, according to a local collector, who immediately purchas ed it from Mason. How the heii managed to swallow it, how long she had carried the ctone in her craw, and how large it was originally--âthese are questions that Mason was unable to answer. He pointed, however, to the lact that all rough corners had been worn ofUa* indicating that it had lain in the henâs craw for a considerable time. Chinaâs Millions of Bibles. London, July 21.â-An enormou* increase has taken place in the work of the British and Foreign Bible Society since its inception nearly a hundred and twenty-five years ago. There is now scarcely -a corner of she globe .o which its representa tives have not penetrated. Considering the state of unrest prevai ing in China, it is rather sur prising to learn that over four mil lion copies of the Bib'e were cir culated there last year. But the dis tributors sometimes had to suffer seyere hardships. Many of them were attacked and wounded, and in one instance two were killed.

(By International News Service) Wichita. Kans., Jully 23. ââHello, that you Jake?â said Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, New York' to Paris hem* talking over long distance telephone. âYes, Slim. How are you? Con gratulations !â Thus the American air hero con versed with J. M. Moellendick, presi dent of the Swallow Airplane Manu facturing Company of Wichitta, Kans. It was pot feigned or professional familiarity that tinged the conversa tion. It was friendship of long stand ing. "Jake, are you coming to St. Louis to build airplanes?â Liudbergh asked. âI'm thinking of starting a factory here and would like Ur know if you are coming up.â he said. "Havenât had time to give it a thought. Slim. Business is s ogood right here that really I donât see any reason for making a move,â Moellen dick declared. And, so the conversation continued for about fifteen minutes, with Lind bergh failing to get any kind of a promise from Jake Moellendick to move to St. Louis, and help him de velop a new airplane project. Moellendick went to St. Louis in re sponse to attractive offers tthat en terprising city made for the opera tion of a Swallow factory there, a few months ago. but declined to negotiate with interests there. The youthful manufacturer says he has been literally swamped with or ders for airplanes ever since âLindyâ landed at Le Bourget field in France The Heathen. The missionary society met to discuss what contribution they should make to the work of their church in India. They arrived at four conclusions, according to the re port of the meeting. First, that money from the sale of old furniture belonged to the wife. Second, that beef loaf is improved he addition of a litle bit of pork. *uird, that the ministerâs daugh ter "Âťent too much money on her trousseau. And fourth that they might a* wel* appoint a committee-âcom- \ posed of three women who were dot presentâto find out about the mis sionary work in Indi* I Concord Topples Towelers 13 To 1, And Knots Series Weavers Administered a Crushing Defeat to Wil sonâs Team Thursday at Webb Field. MORRIS HURLS GREAT GAME Rawson and Barbour Shine Brightly.âSage of Ca . barrus Knocked From Box in Third Inning. By RADIO KING. Lindy Le welly nâs dynamiting Weav ers crushed to smithereens the yyobbly attack of Rube Wilson and hi Towele ers at Webb field Thursday afternoon, Concord winning its third straight victory from Kannapolis by the lop sided score, 13 to 1. The overwhelm* ing Weaver triumph evened the series between these clubs, each having won three melees. What did it matter to Concord fans how many tallies were piled up against the visiting teamâthe more, the merrier the game . when Kanna polis is the foe. A certain fellow who is heralded as the sage of Cabarrus elected himself to twirl against the Weavers. Thatâs when the so-called sage deviated from the prudence of his cognomen. Concord batMneiLrap ped Rube Wilson's flings where his teammates were not. and it was a merry-go-round for the Lewellyns for two and two-third innings. Rube Wilson tried hard to slip 'em by the keen-eyed Weavers, but his offerings lacked the zip which the Rube Wilson hurled back in the South At lantic league not so long ago. Rube knows the great national pastime, but that left wing which carried him into the Sally show is like the old gray mare, it's 4iot what it use to be. The Weavers heaved their bats for eight hits, and five scores before Wilson could evacuate the hillock in favor of Jerry Jackson. The latter pitcher had a fate almost as pathetic as his predecessor. The bats of the locals sounded with regularity gainst Wilson and Jackson, Concord nailing 15 hits. These bing les combined with some of the keenest base running ever exhibited in Con cord. and a whole circus of Kannap olis errors, pushed the local score to the lucky figure of thirteen. Graceful Barbour and Murray Greason did the most spectacujar dashing around the pathways. Barbour swiped four bases, while Greason stole half as many. iitfctit, #azzy May we at this juncture convey a message to Jazzy- Moore, the Kanna polis clarion. Jazzy in your reminis eential accounts next season of the current Weaver-Toweler series, you must not fail to incorporate in them the rip-tearing comeback -of Concord, and the overwhelming victory over the Towelers July 21, 1927. It was the worse defeat Kannapolis has suffered this year. r Morris Up and At âEm. Bob (Lefty) Morris, the niftiest portsider you have ever seen in ac tion. worked wonders against - the Towelers. Bob had his left arm and his head working together, and when he figured that he couldnât get his mjn he motioned to his outfielders to get in a certain location. If the bat-, ter did connect, the ball almost in variably sailed into the hands of the fielders. Weâll say Bob was sagacious in his play. The Towelers, seemingly frail and wobbly under the slightest strain, were able to connect safetly only six times. Bob Morris had âem thinking a whole lor, saying little, and failing Jn almost every instance. Some of the most colorful and spectacular fielding, and some of the j vÂťrest fielding, one has ever witnessed, was unfolded in the contest. The Kannapolis club crack ed like an egg-shell, while Concord fielded beautifully. Seven errors were recorded against the Towelers, and-most of them were of the costly type. To be sure, it was this poor fielding that started Jerry Jackson down the incline to an unhallowed end. Jerry, it appeared, acquired that after the sixth when errors put him under fire. Hereâs A Star. Barbour, who came to the Concord dab Tuesday, won himself a warm place in the heart of local fans by his'great fielding in centerfield. Bar bour made three colorful catches, each time racing back gracefully to nab the sphere. With the willow Bar bour delivered three bingles, each of which accounted for a Conoord tally. Barbour crossed the plate 'five times during the game. Clarence Rawson came over from Charlotte and caught the shoots of Morris. Rawson surely -did play a superb game. What better thrills do fans want than the kind produced when Rawson caught Mottsinger at the plate in the third canto. The ball was relayed from left field, Rawson snatching it and putting it on Mott a* he came in a mad dash from third. Rawson knows his hitting, too. He for two doubles and two singles ra five trips, driving in seven runs. Meet Mr. Miller. Chick Miller has ÂŤ âbumâ knee, if we may describe his injury thus, but he plays baseball just the same. Chick laid down two swell sacrifice hits, and drove ~ out two siugles at opportune times.* Chick robbed Smith of a hit in the eighth when be leaped skyward and hooked a Texas-leaguer. Mutt Miller, relative of Chick; had a hi* day himself with the bat and in fielding. Ontenâs Homerun. Chink Oaten put the Gehrig punch behind one of Jacksonâs fast offerings, and it' sailed on a bee-line over the est rightficâid barrier, being unques tionably the longest circuit drive ever made in Concord, regardless of the park. The ball cleared the fence by a distance of three feet, and sailed some distance beyond before it lost its momentum and dropped to the ground. Outen connected in the seventh with one along the paths. Concord meets Kannapolis twice during the forthcoming week at the Cabarrus Park, Thursday and Satur day afternoons.

SCORES AT FIGHT MATINEE IN FRONT TRIBUNE LAST EVE Large Crowd of Concord Fight Fans Learn of Jack Dempsey's Comeback at Tribune Radio Matinee. Several scores or Tgnting rans as semlbed in front of The Tribune build ing between the hours of 7:30 and 9:15 Thursday night to listen to the dtailed report by radio of the non-championship ring battle between Jack Dempsey, the .former world's champion, and Jack Sharkey. The crowd favored Dempsey, this being gathered by their cheers when Demp sey rained fists at Sharkey's head as the battle neared its end. The radio reception of the battle was very good, and the throng of Dempsey followers went wild when the report came that Dempsey had plung ed Sharkey into an unconscious heap early in the seventh round by two blows to the head and one in the pit of the stomach. While the fight "was onâ numbers of Concord fans tele phoned The Tribune for reports. In other parts of the city groups gathered in homes where radios brought reports of the battle. Con cord people were as deeply interested in Jack's comeback, and the right to meet Tunney again, as any fans in other parts of North Carolina, and the United States.^ Most of the experts predicted that Sharkey would win the fight almost without a struggle, and the odds were heavy against Dempsey in the betting, but the fans said âDempsey will win.â and he did. JudgeâAnd why didnât you stop beating the plaintiff here when he had yelled âenoughâ three or four times? Defendant âWell, you-all donât know how dat niggah can lie. You canât nevah believe him. The Club BoreâDid I ere* well you the perfectly true story of myself, my servant and the cat? Busy Reader âNo. I told it to you. ââGood evening, Gladys. Are you ready to go?â âWhy, letâs seeâare you tne boy who has the newâ green roadster?â **l surely am.â âAll right then, Iâm ready. You see I never was very good at remem bering faces.â When Mose was reached after his arrest his pockets produced a time worn rabbitâs foot and a handful of change. Mose looked disgustedly at his erstwhile good luck charm. Then he counted the change at the sergeant's desk. There was just $13.13. â âS all right,â the prisoner said to his rabbitâs foot. âYou couldnât beat them figures. Lock me up, Mr. Po liceman.â Mrs. AuburnâDoes your husband expect you to obey him? Mrs. BrownâOh, dear, no. John's been married before. CONCORD COTTON MARKET MONDAY, JULY 18, 1§27 Cotton .16 Cotton Seed 34% Shingler, Cemens, J pÂŁÂŁs Just in.
