He enid that he had sllO in another pfleket which the men did not get; that he shot at them several times, and shot one of them through the hand. When he reached home his pistol was fully loaded and there were empty shells in the bottom of his car. This happened somewhere near Concord, or at least he fe'l in with the men near Concord, and it was his impression that they went to several towns.

IN GAME FRIDAY Wilson and Widenhouse Star For the Cadets in the Sec ond Game of the 1927 Schedule. Slashing end runs by Wilson and deadly thrusts through the line by' Widenhouse enabled M. P. C. I. to ad- j minister a 15-0 defeat to the foot ball team of the Landis high school in the second game of the season for the Cadets at Mt. Pleasant Friday , afternoon. Two touchdowns, one each by the above mentioned backs, one point af ter touchdown and a safety account ed for the winning total. Presenting a taster and more alert offensive than was shown -in the op ening game against Concord a week - ago, Coach Rhoade’s warriors ap peared to have improved fifty percent. The line plays worked with a snap and the sluggishness that has char acterized earlier workouts were miss ing. despite excessive heat that forced many time-out periods for rest. Landis displayed an overhead at tack that, for a while, baffled the Cadete. The Rowan county boys were unable to make any appreciable headway through the heavier line they were up against, and they re*orted to an open game. Practically all of thfir gains were made through their clever passing offensive; M. r. C. I. will journey to Weav erville for a game with Weaver Col lege next Saturday.

Sept. 30—Secretary H. G. Hester, of the New Orleans cotton exchange, late today vigorously pro tested against the issuance by the bureau of agricultural economics, de partment of agriculture, of a cotton carryover statement which he termed “grossly inaccurate.” The protest followed telegraphic cor respondence today between Congress man J. B. Aswell, of Louisiana, and Edward S. Butler, former president of the New Orleans cotton exchange. It was transmitted to Congressman Aswell. The report. Mr. Butler said in seek ing to learn if such a statement had been issued-by the department, “is having a serious effect on the values of cotton.” He sought the sources of information from which he bureau had compiled the statement. Congressman Aswell replied that such n statement had been made in a letter writter by the bureau to the president of the New York cotton ex change and gave the sources of in formation. The bureau fixed the carry-over as 7.628,090 bales, more than half a million bales more than that of Secretary Hester. Losses of from three to four dollars a bale have been attributed to the carry-over estimate of the bureau. Secretary Hester, protesting that the sources from \ h ch the govern ment estimate was derived was in accurate, asserted that “some of the authorities quoted by the bureau of economics have interests not favor able to southern cotton.” STATE EXPERT HOLDS MEET FOR COUNTY GRAIN PRODUCERS G. -W. Fant Gives Cabarrus Farmers Valuable Demon strations on Removing Smut From Wheat. G. W. Fant, of the State College extension division, has just completed a week's instruction course iu the advantage of the latest methods of removing smut from wheat to the farmers of Cabarrus county. With the cooperation of R. D. Goodman, county agent, Mr. Fant held four large demonstrations to large numbers of prominent agricultural men of this section in different parts of the county during the past week. The first meeting was held at the farm of L. Bowman Barrier, Mt. Pleas ant, early in the week. Then the farmers of No. 7 township were in vited to attend a meeting at ,A. C. Lentz’s. Following those two, dem onstrations were held successively at the farm "of H. M. Black, on the Beth el road, and of H. B. Emerson, in N0.,3 township. All of the meetings were well attended, several hundred grain growers receiving the valuable advice from the State expert. A new copper-carbonate dry treat ment has been found to be most ben eficial in eliminating the smut that has destroyed so much grain in the Piedmont section of the state during the past few years. By using the treatment recommended by the agri cultural department of the State, through ' Mr. Fant, when they are planting their seed, farmers are as sured of destroying the causes of the costly smut and of having their crop grow up clean as the proverbial whis tle. Mr. Fant also demonstrated the use of a certain formaldehyde treatment on the smaller grain products. Grain crops in the Piedmont sec tion have suffered no little damage this year from the dreaded smut and it is the hope of the State to reduce these damages by educating the rural populace in the methods of planting and protecting their oat®, barley, etc. TThe copper-carbonate treatment is the easiest that has yet been found to apply, as well as the most effec tive after application. The enthusiastic reception accorded Mr. Fant at each of his demonstra tions was ample proof of the appre ciation Cabarrus farmers feel toward State_ College extension authorities for their work toward improvement of farm and crop conditions. REAL ESTATE DEAL RESULTS IN SUIT IN COUNTY COURT D. C. Linn and W. C. Good night Seek to Recover SSOO and Interest From John A. Sims.

Linn, of Rowan county, and W. C. Goodnight, of Cabarrus county, al lege that John A. Sims, of Cabarrus, failed to pay them their commission on the sale of a tract of land in No. 4 township. In June, 1927, the complaint says, the defendant advised the plaintiffs that, he wanted to sell 87 acres of land in N 0.4 township. The de fendant, the complaint says further, agreed to pay the plaintiffs all over $7,000 they secured for the property, or 5 per cent, in case the total was not as much* as They sold the land to Dave Wine coff for $7,500, the plaintiffs contend, but have never been able to collect their SSOO. They ask for damages in this amount with interest from July 8, 1927. YE OLDE TIME SCHOOLE PARTY WAS BIG SUCCESS Mrs. Edward Sauvain Entertains P.- T. A. at Home Here. By MRS. PARIS KIDD “Ye Olde Time School Party” at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Sauvain on i North Union street, at which, on Friday evening, the par ents of the Central grammar school P.-T. A. honored the teachers*, was a huge success, both numerically and in enjoyment. •After a brief appropriate address of welcome by the president, Mrs. M. E. Hansel, in which sne pointed out the four-fold ideal for which the as sociation stands, the program for j the evening was put into the capable hands of Mi9® Ruth Dry, vice presii dent of the organization. The program took the form of a comical imitation of a day in school. At chapel the “boys” and “girls” sang a number of funny pongs set to popu lar tunes. After this farcical “en trance examinations” in geography, mathematics and history. At the burlesque spelling bee, the contestants were required to spell their words backwards, while non-contestants en joyed their painstaking efforts. The reading lesson consisted of jaw-break ing. tongue-twisting sentences to be read at high speed. Spirited debates on the question “Resolved: That an old maid is of more benefit to a community than an old bachelor,'” and “Resolved: That pie is better than cake," formed per haps the most laughable feature of the program, since the speakers on both affirmative and negative made ex temporaneous speeches at the same time! Another weighty prob'em to be solved was “How does the squirrel know how to find his nuts?” For solving this difficult problem a lady was commended for her “nuttiness.” As an experiment in science, con testants were required to extricate themselves, after being t tied together and given no clue as to how to get unfastened.’ Their effort® to free themselves were exceedingly laugh able. After an hour or two of fun and frolic, in which parental and peda gogical dignity was for the time laid aside and forgotten, a delicious salad course was served, and the guests min g'ed socially for the purpose of getting better acquainted.

SALISBURY LICKS 1 CONCORD 6-0 IN THE GRIDIRON OPENER Successful Pass in the Final Quarter Gives the Rowan Team Margin of Victory in Contest Here Friday. Fighting a valiant but losing battle, the football eleven representing the Concord High School went down in defeat before a larger and more ex perienced team from the Salisbury High School Friday afternoon at Webb Field in the local gridiron cur tain-raiser of the year by a 6 to 0 score. After playing on almost even terms through three quarters and a half of the fourth, Concord’s hopes for a score less tie were sent skyward when young Kesler, who., by the way, was a twisted thorn in their side® all af ternoon, heaved a beautifully execut ed 20 yards pas® to Ayers behind the goal line for the only score of the game. Concord’s forwards blocked the succeeding try for goal. Weather Too Warm. Neither team can he said to have been in the proverbial “pink.” To add to their discomfiture, the weather man pawned off one of his hottest afternoons. The chief wonder is that the men were able to last through the sixty minutes of p'ay. They did, however, and comparatively few sub stitutions were made. Numerous times—out from minor injuries and exhaustion caused already dull to lag even more, Referee Davis, who, in his local debut, showed a thorough knowledge of the fine points of the game, did all In bis power to speed things along bat, what, with the excessive humidity and all, it was impossible. \ The local eleven has developed two things, if nothing more in the month of training it has undergone. First, there is a perceptible team spirit, than which there is nothing more valuable to any competitive sport ag gregation. Then, it has a love for the game and a true will to win, even though it has not yet developed suf ficient mechanical ability to .satiate said will. • 1 ;< Team Ambitious and Hard-Fighting. But an ambitious and hard-fighting squad can learn much through several reverses and, in the opinion of the writer, this Concord eleven that looked so badly in its first home start, will add several noteworthy chapters to the school football history before the season has closed. One or two more games, several added weeks of in tensive training, a few good plays perfected, and they will aks no quar ter from any high school outfit in this section. Getting back-'to the game yester day, Concord’s forward wall proved fully a6 strong as her opponents on defence —it was 6n offense that it showed lamentable lack in coordina tion and concentrated driving power Few decent holes were opened in the tight Orange line wall of the Rowan county boys and when they were, the backs ran all over each other before proper interference could be formed. They piled under and over each other, always seeming to be just where they Bad Passing Mars Attack. The passing from center was al most uniformly bad —particularly on the punt and pass formations. On several occasions Bob Keesler, whose educated toe did heavy spiral duty for the locals, received the ball so late or so out of position that he I was unable to get it away before be ing tackled. In returning punts and on end and off-tackle thrusts the backs seemed to forget the value of a well-formed in terference, and more often than not were thrown with only orange-jer seyed men near them. Kesler Salisbury Star. Salisbury was little .better, though it must be admitted that heavy penal ties for infractions of the rules pre vented their scoring at least one more touchdown. Kesler, mentioned be fore, played bis head off and could , always be seen in the thick of the ar gument. A tackle on defense and a back on offense, this sorrell-tepped young man just about represented the difference in the play of the two teams. The air attack of the Salisbury Warriors was superior to that of the locals and their shift plays ran off more smoothly than anything Con cord had to offer. Salisbury Pos. Concord le. ......
