COURTS PUTS O. K.
ON NEWTON ROAD LINK
Extensively Litigated Highway Row
Finally Settled.—Will Build It
Quickly.
Raleigh, Oct. 5. —The Newton com
promise route for state highway No.
10 through Catawba county won the
of the Supreme court today,
marking the end of the extensively
! litigated “Newton road row.”
Tho high court acted on an opinion
which upheld the compromise judg
ment rendered by Judge Michael
Schenck in Catawba Superior court
which dismissed the petition submitted
by the town of Newton and the state
highway commission asking the modi
fication of an injunction standing
, against the commission since last
-June. The opinion was written by
Associate Justice Clarkson. t-
Failure of the court to pass on the
request for that relief was laid to the
circumstance that once having certi
fied an opinion and remanded a case
to the lower court it is without juris
diction to make a further order. The
injunction w-as granted Newton in
the second appeal last spring of its
prolonged controversy with the high
way commission over the route No.
10 should be between Catawba and
the Catawba county courthouse.
The fact that the injunction stands
is not expected to disturb plans for
the construction of the compromise
route. ' . . ...
“We will build the road and build
it right quick,” Charles Ross, attorney
for the highway commission, announc
ed this afternoon with a sigh of relief
after looking twice at the court's
opinion. Mr. Ross bore the. brunt
of the fight for the road organization
through the series of legal battles.
The route upon which both the town
of Newton and the highway commis
sion have agreed follows a course from
the Catawba river to Newton, about
midway between the route upon which
Newton was insisting and that upon
which the commission was insisting
Mr. Ross said.

CATTLE ONLY CROP
PAYING YEARLY PROFIT
This Demonstrated on Cotton Valley
Farm in Edgecombe County.
Raleigh. N. C.. Oct. 5—A farm
herd of beef cattle is the only crop
on Cotton Ya ley Farm in Edgecomoe
county Cbat han paid a profit each
year.
“Thirty head of pure bred Aber
deen- Angu-! beef cattle have paid a
small profit each year to the owners
of Cotton Valley farm despite. the
fact that there has been a light oe
mand for breeding stock and most of
the surplus was sold at beef prices,”
says R. g. Curtis, animal husband
man at State College. “The Alanager
of this farm, Mr. L. W. Shook,
states that his cash crops such as
cotton, tobacco and peanuts have
made more total money than the cat
tle yet the cattle have paid in some
profit consistently each year.”
If costs little to maintain the beef
herd on Cotton Valley Farm. There
are 250 acres in pasture where the
cattle range during summer. In the
winter they g’ean the fields where .
the crops were grown and are fed
some silage and cottonseed meal with
grazing on cover crops available. Mr-
Shook states that there are few men
in eastern Carolina who should go
into the beef catt’e business on a
large scale yet there are hundreds
of farms where cattle would pay we’l
if handled as they are on his place.
Air. Shook has 850 acres under his
supervision, with 435 in cultivation.
250 in pasture and the r< mainder in
woodland. Thirty cows are kept in
the breeding heard.
There were 40 cows in the herd I
when Mr. Shook began to manage the
place some 12 years ago. These were
of all sizes and conditions with about
ha f being grade Angus. A good bull
was bought and the heard graded up.
The undersirable cows were sold as
beef and in about five or six years
Mr. Shook had a high grade hen! of
35 cows. He then sold these and
bought a herd of 29 pure bred cows
at a cost of about $lO above the price
for grade animals. An excellent bull
was secured to head the herd and now
only pure breds are grown. These are
returning a profit each year with
prospects of the profits going higher
since purebred beef cattle are now in
demand.

THE CONCORD Times
GARDENS YIELDED WELL
DURING PAST SUMMER
Excellent Records Being Made By
Women Who Entered Garden Con
test. •
Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 4. —Excellent
garden records are being made by a
number of farm women who have en
tered the State Garden Contest this
year, finds E- B. Morrow, extension
horticulturist at State College, who
visited a number of the gardens dar
ing September.
In Pitt county, for instance, Mr.
Morrow visited the garden belonging
to Mrs. Clarence Vincent of Winter
ville. Mrs. Vincent finds time to cul
tivate a farm garden r three-quarters
of an acre in size, in addition to car
ing for nine children. Seven of tho
children are in the local consolidated
school and the garden has been made
to bear much of the expense of these
children. Mrs. Vincent has servel a
liberal supply of fresh vegetables
from her garden throughout the sum
mer and since the first of March has
sold $229 worth of vegetables on the
•Greenville Curb market. When Mr.
Morrow visited this garden on Sep
tember 20. he found about 25 dif
ferent kinds of vegetables being
grown with 15 varieties ready for
immediate use.
Mrs. Alilton Sample of Pasquotank
county n'so take* a pride in her
garden. She had 35 different kinds of
vegetables growing on September 22
and has sold a good quantity during
the year. Mrs. Brooks Harrill also
has an excellent record of disposing
of her surplus vegetables at a profit.
From one row of New Zealand spin
ach. 75 feet long. Mrs. Harrill sold
S2O worth of the greens.
Mr. Morrow states that in addi
tion to the excellent results secured
by a number of farm women during
the summer, many of them have not
ceased their efforts with the coming
of cooler weather and the outlook for
fall and winter gardens in North
Carolina this season is unusually
good.

Southern Trains Delayed By a Cloud
burst.
Greensboro, New*, October 4.
Southbound trains on the South
ern railway main line were reported
indefinitely late here early this morn
ing as the result of an almost virtual
cloudburst which washed away 50
feet of tracks a few miles souin oi
Chatham, Va., late last night.
Officials of the Southern here stat
ed that they expected to have the
damage repaired in time to let trains
Nos- 33 and 39 through without any
great delay, but that trains Noe. 29
and 81 would necessarily be held up
from five to seven hours.
Heavy rain falling on the Virginia
section from Alta Vista to the top of
White Oak mountain concentrated in
one great torrent, said to be 40 feet
high, between Chatham and Dry Folk,
washing the tracks away before it.
The washout occurred about 10
o’clock.
Repair crews were rushed to the
sc.ne from Greensboro, Danville and
other points, and were actively en
gaged early this morning in driving
piles to support a temporary track
acroes the damaged section.
Northbound trains Nos. 32, 34, and
38, passing through here late last
night, were routed around by Rich
mond to Washington and New xork
this morning trains Nos. 29
and 31, due in Greensboro at 12:01
and 3 :35. were awaiting north of the
washout for the tracks to be laid.
They were not expected here at the
beet before 6:30 o’clock.

NEGRO CAUGHT AS HE
TAKES FAKE MONEY

bury Man, Who Had Receive**
Threatening Letters.
Salisbury, Oct. 5.—A young negro
giving his name as James Myera, and
his Jiome Charlotte, is being held for
a hearing in county court tomorrow
when he will face several charges.
Among them is one of trying to extort
money from Joe L Wright, local un
dertaker. Myers was caught, .it is
alleged, in the act of removing fake

by Mr. Wright when he received a
note threatening to burn his new home
and do him personal harm if $35 was
not placed in the garage.
E. T. Bernhardt, local officer, as
signed to watch the fake money,
caught Myers after an all night vigil
early today when he entered the
garage. T|e negro attacked the of
ficer with a knife, it was said, but was
subdued. The negro had a half gallon
of whisky concealed in his overalls
and today it developed that the over
alls had been stolen from a home last
night, according to police.
This was the second note Mr.
Wright had received, the first trap
failing to catch him and the second
note of warning being left in the place
where the first balch of fake money
had been removed by the visitor.

Short-Haired Furs Now Most Popu
lar For Coats.
No longer are heavy, bulky, long
haired furs the fashion for coats,
points out Mary Brush Williams,
fashion authority, in an article in this
week’s Liberty, explaining that this
season’s fur coat should be as nearly
like a cloth coat as possible.
“Time was,” the writer recalls,
“when the ‘grande dame’ accepted the
fashion of looking as much like a rug
as possible on donning her fur coat.
Indeed, the more costly the coat, the
more like a shapeless mass of long
haired fur she looked in it.
“The highest attainment in fur
coat style now,” the writer continues,
“is to make it look as much like a
cloth coat as possible; ihit is to say,
as light, as supple, as graceful, so
that it will take on the lithe young
lines of a slender woman in motion,
and in every detail suggest youth. To
this end, furs have been worked un
til they are as pliable as soft woolens,
and they have been shaved until they
are scarcely less thick.”
Host at Birthday Party.
John Leslie Bell, Jr., had a party

World’s Bicycle Rirtlnj Record Shat
* tered.
Leonard Lambet, a 16-year-old mes
senger boy of Asheville claims the
world’s record for continuous bicycle
riding. The youth, still possessing
power to continue, climbed down from
his wheel Sunday afternoon after 30
hours and 11 minutes of riding over
the streets of Biltmore during which
time he covered a distance of 257.2
miles.
Showing no signs of utter fatigue
after his long grind, which started
at 10:50 o’clock Saturday morning,
Lambert finished in the Biltmore
plaza in a sprint, one of Kenilworth's
motor cycle policemen pacing him as
more than 2,500 people crowded every
nook and corner available to watch
the determined boy shatter the world's
juvenile endurance bicycle riding
record held by a Washington, D. C.,
youth which stood at 25 hours flat.
One reason why 60 few recognize* 1

YANKEES WIN FIRST
BY LOOSE FIELDING
Get 5 to 4 Verdict Over Pirate* in
First Game of the World Series.
Forbes Field, Pittsburgh, Oct- 5.
In a close and exciting but also loose
ly prayed battle that was eonsiaer
ably below the best standards of
either team, the New York Yankees
wrested a 5 to 4 victory from an
erratic crew ofT Pirate*
today in the opening game of the
1927 world’s series.
A colorful crowd of close to 42.000,
Jamming Forbes field to the edges,
came out to see a battle of Yankees
siege guns and Pirates sharpshooters
but its expectations Were completely
upset. Instead, they saw Babe Kuth
lead the Yankee attack with sing’es.
instead of home runs, watched, tne
pirate defense crack wide open in the
third inning to permit the American
league champions to gain a command
ing. lead and witnessed the bombard
ment of the rival riyhtbanded pitch
ing acea, Waite Hoyt aud Ray
Kxemer, into retirement.

The Pirates outhit the Yankee#, '<*
to 6. They constantly threatened
Hoyt and finally drove him from the
box in the eighth inning but game aa
was their uphill fight, the Corsairs
lacked the punch t? win after their
own mistakes, plus Kremer’s wildness,
had virtually tossed away the game
in the third inning.
Wiley Moore and his “sinker ball”
came to the rescue in the eighth ms
Hoyt fast was weakening and check
ed what little remained of Pirate
hopes by retiring Earl Smith with
runners on first and third.
There were two out in the eighth
when Joe Harris drove in oiean
Wright with the fourth Pirate run
but Moore, big and ungainly, hitched
‘bis trousers, adjusted bis cap aiid
tossed one that Smith spanked into
Lou Gehrig’s glove for the final out
of the inning and the end of Pitte
burgh's last scoring opportunity.
