Bee Is Farmer's Friend. “Bee culture is the most essential branch of agriculture.” That is the opinion of Prof. Enoch Zander, of Erlangen university in Germany. He bases his high estimate of the bee ‘industry on the fact that billions of blosaom© are fertilized by these in sects Fruit trees, vegetables, clov ers, flowers —all depend on the bee for fertilization. It is the bee that carries the pollen from one. blo6som to an other. Prof. Zander estimates the bee population of his country at 65 billion. These bees produce about $7,000,000 worth of honey annually, , no mean economic item itself. 1 IT PAYS TO USE PENNY ADS MT.

IYcclaimed a© “Weaver Day” by Concord’s chief executice, Mayor C. | H. Barrier, business will suspend here this afternoon while thousands of fans flock to Webb field to see the Weavers and Kannapoli© Towelers battle for the game which may determine the champions of Cabarrus.' Victory to day will mean the championship for Concord, while defeat will give the Weavers another chance at the pen nant in the closing game of the season Saturday at Kannapolis. Virtually every business establish ment in the city will shut its doors between 2:30 and 3 p. m. to permit employee© as well as proprietor© to witness the contest.

The timepiece was presented to the Spinner pilot at Greenville yesterday when the Spinners downed Spartan burg, 7 to 2. MUCH INTEREST IN REVIVAL SERVICES Large Congregation at McGill Street Baptist Church. ' The pastor preached Wednesday night from Matthew 2:3, “Repent Ye” being the subject of his sermon. God has got to do the great work of regenerating the soul. He does t6at upon a certain condition. Now I am aware that this is not altogether a popular subject. When a preacher wants to be popular with his people, he might not preach on thi© subject. Nevertheless, lam go ing to preach the great truths from the Bible. Repentance is one thing we ought never to get away from. Don’t get the idea that repentance belongs to sinners always. The repentance of a sinner is the kind I am going to talk about tonight. It is neee©sary in salvation for a soul to repent of its l sin. We see something of repentance in the New Testament. We see John the Baptist when he began to preach, I suppose, had rather small crowd©. When he was preaching at the River Jordan, his messages were on repent ance. John preached here for about six months. After about six months Jesus caine down to the River Jordan, where John was preaching and bap tized Him in Jordan. Jesu© and John preached the gospel simuitane uosly, on repentance about a year here. I am sure we ©ee the need of re pentance. Who is to repent? Sinners are to repent. Human souls who have never come to Jesus ; human souls that are ifi the wilds of sin, out younder away from God, and ©eemingly satis fied as a sinner, are to repent. All men must be regenerated in Order to be saved. On the day «f pentecost the people cried out “Men and breth ren, what must we do to he saved?" Peter told them to repent of their sins. All the doctors of the law were’ there. Peter told them everyone must repent. If repentance is all that important, what is true repentance. True re pentance ie prompted by a Godly sor row for ©in. So many times you don’t let your heart be sorry to God for ©in.. True repentance is the change of the attitude of the soul. It can be con trolled by your whole will power. First of all you must change for your self. Some sinners say. “I am not as bad as some people; I know I do things I ought not to do, but I don’t do anybody any harm.” Sinners say, “I am not a murderer or a robber." My friends, you don’t have to be either of theee. The least sin of a sinner is a mighty sin upon God. True repentance is coming to a re alization that you are really a sinner. Nine times out of ten a sinner will say, “I am as good as some church members you have in your church." You must turn your attitude toward God. A sinner that has gene on re penting hasn’t had anything for God. Sinner©,- won’t you come and humbly repent of your sins? Arrest yourself. Change your attitude. Turn toward God. Come renenting. Exercise faith in God. CHURCH REPORTER. Mother-in-Law Blamed as Man De serts Mate. Richmond, Va.. Sept. 6-—lnability to get along with his mother-in-law, who lived in his home, caused Thom as A. Collins, 32, to run away from Reidsvil’fi, N. C., deserting his wife and three rhildren there, he tola po lire today when he was arrested here on a fugitive warrant and held for the authorities of that city.

Although baseball still holds the attention of Concord fanq, as the Weavers and Towelers fiercely battle for the Cabarrus championship, foot ball will slip into fandom’s favor with the coming of aonther week. The season of preparation for the great Autumn sport is here, and when Coaches W. H. (Count) Leggett and Bill Green issued the formal call for football practice, at the Concord high school this week thirty rugged, ambi tious youths heeded the words. Webb field seethed with activity throughout Wednesday afternoon as the young sters were put through fundemental trainging. Coach Leggett, former rip-tearing fullback of the Davidson Wilcats, is confronted with a problem, indeed. Only four youths among the 30 are letter players, revealing at the very beginning that the instrucors must mould a team principally from untried material. But despite this handicap Concord, apparently, will have one of its best gridiron machines in years. This optimism comes from the fact that the untried material is apt and what is lacking in weight will be supplied in speed. The letter players of the 1928 team back this season are : Charles Kestler, “quarterback ; Jim Utley, guard; John son Irvin, guard, and Captain Harry Sanders, center. Coach in timates that Captain Sanders will be shifted to the backfield. Coach Green is dril.ing the forwards while Count I>egget is whipping the backs into form. The new candidates for the high school eleven include: Curtis Furr. Earl Cochran, Joe Pike, Bill Hoard. John Armfield, Alec McFadyen, Ben Parks, Clyde Misenheimer, Cary White, Lee Ritchie, Frances Pickard, M. L. Widenhouse, McCorkle Cald well, David Sears, Joe Widenhouse, Bruce Jarrett, Roy Lipe, James Mc- Eachern, Verble, Gene Kidd, Flake Arrowood, Howard Crowell, Robert lryin, High Dotson, Glenn (Salty) Park, and Ralph Widen house. The team manager i© Edgar Ruesell. First Game. The Concord warriors get into ac tion the 23rd or 24th of September, the initial game being scheduled with Mt. Pleasant Collegiate Institute. The game will likely be played at Mt. Pleasant. The New Coaches. All local fans who have followed during the past four seasons the foot ball activities at Davidson College have read about Count Leggett and Rill Green, if they have never seen the pair in action in footbaU toggery. Count performed on the Dav idson varsity team for three seasons, and starred in freshman football. Bill Green put his football fight into the position of guard, and he proved him iself a valuable linesman to the Wild cats. Coaches and Green are con genial, and decidedly modest. To gather from them something of their history in college athletics was a task. “We are going to put our best into coaching,” said the two, "in effort to mould a strong Concord high school eleven. The prospects aren’t any too bright now, but we are hoping for changes to the better before the season opens.” HENDERSON IS GIVEN A SHOCK Renewed Bombings and Shootings Wreck Optimism. Henderson, X. C., Sept. 6. —With striking cotton mill operative© return ing to work in increasing number, sporadic outbursts of violence last night sent the protracted walkout into another clay with officials ami officeds of the law both dubious though hopeful that the mills soon will be operating at. full capacity, with all the recalcitrant© back at their posts. Wade Arrested. The loud detonations last mgnt caused a break in the optimistic out look which, ba©ed actual num ber of men who daily had returned to work, had created the belief that the strike was nearing its last stages and soon would pas© into history. George Wade was arrested and given a hearing today in connection with one of the explosions. Judge R. J. South erland ordered him held in jail under bond of $250 to await trial at tnc October term of court. The explosions last night did n« damage. One occurred around one o’clock and the second about two hours later. Approximately 25 per cent or about 200 workers were reported by mill officiate tonight as having been recon ciled to their fate and back at theii various duties. Officers today received reports of intermittent firing of revolvers last night. Wants Children to Start School With Opening. It is very important that school children of the county begin their work with the opening of the schools, S. Glenn Hawfield, county school super intendent stated this morning. “I expect evry child who expects to enter one of the schools opening September 12th to be enrolled not later than two. weeks after the opening,” he said. “We will observe short day hours —from 8 a. m. to 1 p. m.—and I hope parents will see that their children are there.” Mr. Hawfield explained that the State rules a unit of work is equal to 120 clock hours and to get credit for the units it is necessary for the children to attend 8 months. Loot sci Shelby Robberies Totals But Forty Cents. She’by, Sept. 6.—There were two attempts at robberies over the week end. but the total haul of the burglar© amounted to only 40 cents. From the crude manner in which robberies were executed, police .think ; both were the work of boys. Some' time over the week-end thr Eagle Roller mill office was enterea. The drawers in the desk were pilfered but nothing of va'ue was missed. The safe was apparently .untouched. When Will Kendrick went to de liver some mail in the office of the Shelby Casket company on North Washington street early in the morn ing a burg’ar was at work- When Mr. Kendrick unlocked the outside door the robber beat a hasty retreat. Forty cent* was a’l that ha© been -ri©~r>d and thi* wa© the safe '■a h drawer ? utn which the bu*ylar had bored holes to gain an entrh_ce.

Deputy Sheriff Honey cutt, who accompanied him to Raleigh, said prison attaches knew him well, stating that McFarland .had served several sentences there already. “Well, Mac, you’re here again,” Deputy Honeycutt said qne of the prison attaches remarked when he pre sented the prisoner. “Why didn’t you serve on the chain gang? “Like it better here,” he said Mc- Farland replied.

Sept. 6.—Recallers were successful today in securing from the city council an order for an -election to be held on October 7, the first genuine recall election under the new state law. but the day found the councilmen under attack, and their supporters in jubilant mood, for they ' are almost certain that the nature of the recall movement is such as to prevent candidates offering themselves against the four officials whose remov al is sought. The recallers have not so far pre sented a single candidate. They must , have as many as four. They have un til September 16 to present their men. The special registration closes on Sep tember 17.

Wilkinson, of the six*h district and honor guest on the occasion of the formal opening of the highway. ”Jt is too narrow for the traffiowhich now flows over it and it will be widened.” He was backed in this statement by J.

Raleigh, Sept. 6.—There are rum blings that there may be some mild fireworks.' and perhaps some not so mild, when the full committee named recently to work out the basis for a state-wide farm organization, repre senting all .the farm organizations and farmers ; n the state, meets in Ral eigh Friday morning. September 9, to complete the program begun sev eral weeks ago. The completed pro gram Is expected to be presented to the representatives of the various or ganisations in the afternoon, for final approval. The attempt to organize the farm ers aal farm women of the state in to flfte composite organization was with the original intent of giving to the farmers a deeper influer.— in matters pertaining to them. both po litical and economic, and * ew out of a resolution adopted by the state farm ers’ convention that a state-wide body, to include all farm organizations of farmers and farm women, be organiz ed. But at the first meeting of the sub committee appointed by Mr. Fred Latham, who was elected chairman of the meeting on August 25 of the various farm organ'zations. it be came apparent that there were two distinct lines of thought. One group seemed to favor the organization of an entirely new statewide organiza tion that would supercede all exist ing organizations, or absorb them, while the second N line of thought fav ored the continuance of all existing farm organisations and groups as they now exist, and the formation of new ones only in these local ties where none now exist, all of these to be represented through a State Farm ers' Council composed of representa tives from all these organizations.
