Scores of persons entering the Ritchie Hardware Co., this morning halted suddenly when attracted by a hissing, rattling sound coming from the interior, a sound that is familiar to those persons who come into con tact often with reptiles. The warning in this case comes from a huge rattler caught Tuesday by Dolph Hamilton and now on display in the hardware store. The rattler is in a small cage with a wire front and spends the greater part of his time sounding the seven rattles on his tail. The snake has attracted many persons now that it is safe behind heavy wire, but it has not conceded anything. Everytime a person ap proached the box there is a hiss and a rattle, and the reptile stays in a coiled position, ready to spring at an adversary at a second’s notice. Goes To Blowing Rock.

SHOWS FOR MIDWAY AT CABARRUS FAIR SPEND LARGE SUM Has Just Let Contract For Steel Equipment to Cost $76,000.—Wi1l Play Only Large Fairs. When the Rubin & Cherry Shows come to 4he Cabarrus District Fair in October they will be quartered in one of the finest trains in the show business. The shows require fortjl cars for their personal equipment, and only re cently awarded a contract for $76,- 000 worth of new equipment to re place several cars destroyed by fire at Fargo, N. D., several weeks ago. It requires so much space for these shows that all stands have been re moved from the Midway at the fair grounds here, this being the first time in the history of the fair that this was necessary. \ The shows started several weeks ago on the fair circuit, playing only the largest fairs in various parts of the country. The Cabarrus District Fair, it is said, is the only non-State fair to be visited by the shows this year. From Concord the shows will go to the South Carolina State Fair at Col umbia, and then to Montgomery for the Alabama fair. The following news story from Fargo tells of the equipment recently purchased by the show company: “A deal was consummated here to day between Rubin Gruberg, president of the Rubin & Cherry Shows, and B. H. Mathis, treasurer of the Warren Tank Car Company, Warren, Pa., whereby the Rubin & Cherry Shows will have, in the near future, one of the finest 40-car steel trains in show business. N “Gruberg placed an order for 26 steel flat cars, 72-foot length; two steel 72-foot box cars and two steel 72-foot stock cars, stiuplating deliv ery at Philadelphia week of Septem ber 19th. “Ten Pullman sleepers used at pres ent will be added to the new cars, on which the show will travel the bal ance of this season and all of next year’s route. “The new cars will cast $76,000, and Mathis promises that 24-hour shifts of workmen will be put on at once to complete promised delivery in September. “Since Rubin came back and took up the reins of management, despite fourteen continuous weeks of rain and mud, he is optimistic to the ex tent of spending this big sum to im prove his shows.” Death of Harley Rowland. Attended by scores of friends who admired him in life and felt keen re gret in his death, funeral services for Harley Rowland, who was killed Sun day afternoon at 3 o’clock in an auto mobile wreck on the Albemarle-Char lotte Highway, were conducted at Bear Creek Church Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock.

Effective songs were sung by the choir, and also by a quartet compos ed of Misses Martha Austin, Juanita Honeycutt, Mary Davis and Mary Leona Talbert, all classmates of his.
