Factions Expected to Bury tne Hatchet Hickory, Oct. 18- —Members of the two factions in the town of West Hickory will likely be called together soon in mass-meeting to iron out ap parent*' existing difficulties. Mayor G. T. Barger said in issuing a siaie ment explaining the action of the board of aldermen of that mun pa lit y in connection with a SIO,OOO bond issue discovered advertised in the Maiden News. This led to the cir culation of petitions for a bond elec tion. All that was done was in good faith, the mayor said, in defending the action of the board. Defeat of a previous proposed $12,000 bond is sue and the protestation of citizens over the raising of the tax rate to $1.75 led to the decision to issue $lO,- 000 in bonds, Mayor Barger said. The board was to raise revenue in order to meet bills due, and to pay off old debts that confronted the of ficers when they went into office, the mayor explained. Albert S. Burleson, postmaster general in the Wilson administration, was the first Texan to become a cabinet member. Y PAGERS ORDERED TO REPORT FOR TRAINING THIS WEEK P ° l ” t Best Quintet in Kanna Polls Athletics.— With 8 AS?*" J*t s ? n of Basketball With Winecoff High in Early No> ™’' ,w To ™ Kannapolis, Oct. 18.—With pros °f tonung out the best cage quintette in the history of Kanna'po lis athletics, Coach Chic DeMarcus baa ordered aU candidates fo'r the lo cal Y. M. C. A. team to report for training this week, the exact date to be announced later. The opening workout was eched u ed for last night, but rainy weather put a damper on all plans and pre vented a large number from turning Those who did ignore the ele ments put in a good evening of loop ing the hoops, running the floor and the like. Coach DeMarcus is this year blessed with ten survivors of last year’s outfit, namely Apex Gillam, Fred Helms, Jim my Flowe, Henry Nance, Dr. White, Dribble Smith, Watt Walter) Lee Mc- Carnee and Ray Roberts, whom it was first though would not be available on account of hie business interest. Among the newcomers are three of the best known high school players in this section. They are “Country” Rol lins, the sensational local high school star of last year; “Smoky” Johnson, who captained the Christ School five during the 1926-27 campaign, and Jack Troutman, another nifty product of the Episcopalian institute. With the three recruits named, Dr. White, Flowe, Nance and Smith will try out fog the berths at forward and unless we are groggy, the noted Tow-.. eler mentor is going to grow a few grey hairs before he selects the best pair. There’s “Dribble” Smith, former high school coach, and one of the flash-- iest Y. M. C. A. forwards eber pro duced in this section. Then there are Flowe, experienced in every re spect as a forward; Dr. White, erst while Mooresville player, and Nance, who pockets the oval with lightning like regularity. Contesting for the position at cen ter will be Apex Gillam, Watt Walter and Lee McCarnes. Gillam, tall and agile and a constant scoring threat, ranks slightly higher than his con testants at this post. He’s the fan’s picture of a hardwood wizard. Helms and Roberts are the out standing contenders for the guard berths. Last year both displayed court ability and strategy that made them the terror of any team that trotted out against the Towelers. Highs Open With Winecoff. The Kannapolis high school bas keteers are being subjected twice a week to hard sessions of practice, pre paratory to their opening game here with Winecoff High during the early part of November. The team will not be as good as the one of last year, but the boys are working hard and hope to make the best of a rather hard schedule that confronts them.- The spirit is of the right sort and the high school coach feels that under this condition he will have a fair team, as spirit has a lot to do with a gang of hardwood players. * Among the boys showing up re markably well for early season work outs are Lottie Fowler, captain of last year’s quint; Jimmy Funderburke, Ed gar Ketehie, Jimmy Peeler, Leon Winecoff, Marvin McCombs, Jimmy Anderson and Robert Rollins, brother of the celebrated “Country” Rollins. Lum Lomax Figures in Trial. Os interest here is the following ac count taken from the Charlotte Ob server, which concerns Lum Lomax, who has been residing here for the past several months, working as an employee of a construction crew for the Cannon Manufacturing Company: “Adolphus Gray, charged with breaking and entering the store of Lum Lomax on the Concord road on the night of December 10th, and with assault with a deadly weapon on Lo max, who was sleeping in the store, was found guilty at Monroe on both charges after twenty minutes delibera tion of the jury. “Judge H. Hoyle Sink sentenced Gray to the penitentiary for not less than four nor more than ten years for assault with a deadly weapon. In the case of breaking and entering the store, prayer for judgment with sus pension upon good behavior was en tered. “Gray, who is 32 years of age, has a wife and several children. “The circumstance of the case is that someone entered the store of Mr. Lomax, who was' sleeping in his place of business because several times before it had been entered and goods 1 carried away. “At about 4 o’clock in the morn ing the thief made his way into the store. Aftec several shots were ex changed the criminal made his gefc away. “The sheriff and his deputies were called and soon arrested Gray.” Lomax was in a hospital for sev eral weeks receiving treatment for the injuries he sustained in the battle. After recovering he- came to Kan napolis to live and has made a wide circle of friends. FOUR MEN ARE SAVED AT SEA DURING STORM Picked Up by Coast Guard After Boat Had Been Smashed by Sea. New York, Oct. 19. — UP) —The res cue of four men from a sea whipped high by a howling northeast gale which had smashed their barge to pieces off Ocean City, Md., was de scribed today in a wireless dispatch to the Associated Press from the coast guard cutter Gresham. Helplessly adrift for thirteen hours, the barge, Old Dominion of the Nep tune Line, foundered at 9 o’clock last night, forcing its crew to leap over board and fight against the surf until they were picked up by boat from the Gresham. The barge went down after the Gresham had stood by for hours in a vain effort to reach the crew with lines. The lines fell short as heavy seas kept both vessels constantly lurch ing. The barge was pounded to pieces on Fenwick Shoals. Show is Reported Seen in the Pitts boro Section. Siler City, Oct. 18. —This section is shivering in its first prolonged sped of real winter weather. Cloudy, rainy weather has predominated for the past several days, being a marked contrast to the weather of a ween ago. Unconfirmed reports from Pitts boro say that a few flakes of snow fell there Monday night. 1 Rev. John L. Yost, of Gastonia, was a visitor in Concord Tuesday. THE CONCORD TIMES CALDWELL PROVIDES DATES FOR SHOWING OF HEALTH PICTURES Show Pictures at Five Rural Schools Next Week.-*—Pic tures Helpful to the Pub lic. Dr.' D. G. Caldwell, director of the f Cabarrus Health Department, today' furnished the schedule of the rural schools at which ' health motion pic tures will be shown to the public free during the week of October 24th. The pictures, which are being shown in cooperation with the State Board of Health, will be shown at other places in the county during the following two weeks. The schedule follows: Monday, OcL 24th. —Rock Hill school (colored). Tuesday, Oct. 25th.—Poplar Tent school. Wednesday, OcL 26th.—Gil wood school. Thursday, OcL 27th.—White Hall schodl. Friday, OcL 28th.—Roberta Mill school. The hour in the evening when the pictures will be shown will be pub lished at a later date. Dr. Caldwell urges the public to take advantage of the opportunity to 'see these helpful pictures. The pic tures not ony emphasize the value of health but show how health may be protected. LOWDEN SHOULD MAKE HIS CANDIDACY KNOWN Otherwise Group of Western Poli ticians Will Go Ahead and Select Another. Washington, Oct. 18. —Frank O. Lowden must show his colors in the, Republican presidential race before the newly organized group of western Republican senators passes on his candidacy, it was assertad tonight by Senator Nye of North • Dakota, one of its members, in a speech before the Washington chamber of commerce. Although leaving the door open for acceptance of Lowden as the candidate of the westerners, Senator Nye reiter ated that he favored Senator Norris of Nebraska, the tentative choice of the insurgent organization, for the Republican nomination. Senator Nye expressed regret that the movement of Senator Norris or Senator Borah had been construed as in opposition to Lowden or an attempt to embarrass his candidacy, * which, he said, already has shown strength. But he declared that the interests of the west and of agriculture involve “more than the mere enactment into law of the McNary-Haugen farm bill” which has been favored by Mr. Low den. “There are such problems as those involving freight rates, discrimination in freight rates, inland waterway im provements, permanent improvements growing out of any flood control pro gram, conduct of the federal reserve banking system, the admiration of the federal farm land bank—all of these problems bearing directly upon the measure of prosperity which may ac crue to the agricultural states. Then, too, there are great national problems in which the west is vastly interested. these problems the whole west knows well the position of ope like Senator Norris, but it does not yet fully know the position of Gov ernor Lowden, except ( that he is a believer in and an advocate of farm relief legislation such as is involved in the McNary-Haugen bill. Mr. Lowden might soon see fit to clarify his position in the various other is sues and in doing so, demonstarte him-- self as being as acceptable to the west as would another, and win the united backing of that great section of the United States. “But until he does so clarify his position, he leaves much room for doubt. The mere enactment of the McNary-Haugen bill into law is not of itself going to save agriculture, and thus save the west but more than that is required of governments.” YELLOW JA C KET GUARD KEEPS SCHOOL QUEIT Silence Reigns In Classroom While Stinging Insects Act as Monitors. Tullulah Falls, Ga., Oct. 17.—Ex treme quiet is the order of every school day in the main recitation hall of the Tallulah'Falls industrial school here. Yellow jackets are the reason. The fiery-tongued little insects have taken charge of the recitation hall and the 208 students of the school, and their teachers, are obliged to enter the hall by rear doors, and to do so quiet ly. 1 R. G. Williams, mountaineer • in structor in the school for mountaineer children, and man of all work about the school, has balked at orders to rout the yellow jackets because he says "they make you feel swell.” The jackets have barricaded them selves underneath the front door of the stone building, and there remain on guard from sun to sun. The fieldstone foundation of the building does not permit entrance underneath the building, school leaders say. For First Time Duke Co-Eds Hold Fellowships. Durham, Oct. 19.—IFor the first time in the history pf Duke Univer sity, two women students hold fellow ships. Miss Rose M. Davis, of Dur ham, graduate of Trinity in 1914. holds a fellowship in the University of Tennessee and University of Mis souri, is a fellow in the department of history. The awarding of these fellowships marks a departure in the policy of the university, and is a step in the upbuilding of the coordinate college for women. Women students in the, past, however, have held scholarships- According to Dr. W. H. Glasson, dean of the graduate school, “There has been no noticeable difference in the work of men and the women.” Os the 115 students in the Duke University graduate school, 44 are women. A number of these are teach ers in the Durham city school tak ing two or more courses at the uni versity. Women holding fellowships at Duke this year are: Misses Doris Christy, Duke ’27, English; jessie Thompson, Duke ’27. history; and Marie Turnipseed. ’27 University of Georgia, mathematics.

Among those who enrolled we have a large number of young men, giving added lustre to our prospects for win* ning volley bailey ball, basketball and other teams of indoor sports.” The party was opened with invoca tion by Rev. M. E. Hansel, pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, after which a series of games were played and which brought a mirth quake from the participants and spec tators. Games played include-; Straw, Simon Says, tumbling relay, spin velay, sawdust, pie-eating, cracker-eating, mounted pillow fight, tug-of-war and boxing match. The boxing match created a sensa tion and side-splitting laughter. Two youngsters, stripped to the waist and representing Dempsey and Tunney, were blindfolded and fitted in box ing gloves which were soot-surfaced. When the scrap was over both lads were living illustrations of the Gold Dust twins. Another game in which much interest was taken was the tug of-war between Winecoff and Harris burg. The former won from Harris gurg and then defeated Bethel without any exertion. Music was furnished by Miss Dorothy Hartsell at the piano during the evening.

WILL BARRINGER, 32, FACES DEATH RATHER THAN FEDERAL COURT Cabarrus Farmer Elected Self-Destruction in Prefer ence to Answering Liquor Charges. W T ill Barringer outwitted the Salis bury federal court at the cost of his own life Monday. He elected self deetruction, apparently, in preference to walking before the federal tribunal to answer charges of violating the prohibition law. Mr. Barringer, 32-years old farmer of No. 7 township, was found dead with a rifle bullet wound in his fore head in a clump of woods near his home Monday morning. All evidence pointed to suicide, and Coroner Joe Hartse’.l deemed it unnecessary to conduct an inquest. Mr. Barringer wa6 enjoying the best of health, it appeared, but grew de spondent over hie trouble with the national government, and decided to blot his existence rather than face the court. He leaves a wife and several chil dren. Funeral services were held Tuesday. England is just now engaged in a spirited controversy over the amateur status of the football players to be sent to the Olympic Games. R. E. Odom and S. G. Willeford, salesmen for the Gas Company, are in the city now, putting on the two weeks’ sales campaign. WINTER SENDS ITS VANGUARD; CONCORD FIRES FURNACES Winter Wraps Are Called From Moth Ball Company. —Snow Falls in Section 8 of the State. King Winter has informed North Carolina that he is on the way. The vanguard of the icy monarch blew into the Tarheel commonwealth Tuesday, toppling mercury from its summer perch and laying ermine carpeta in several sections. Snow fell in several countiee where the mountains keep company with the skies, while cold winds blew and rain or mist made it disagreeable in other places. Concord did not have any snow, not even a flurry, but the elements did contribute chilling westerly winds and intermittent showers. Furnaces, forgotten for the summer, returned to popularity as the population, shiverr ing, began building firee. Inroads to coal bins became popular avenues of travel, except in the instances where the bias were coal-less. Over coats were recalled from moth balls by many. An Associated Press dispatch tells of the belated arrival of King Win der’s messengers in the mountainous sections. In Yancey, Mitchell, Hen derson and Haywood counties snow fell at intervals throughout the day. A driving wind accompanied a snow storm. at Blowing Rock, and at night fall the surrounding territory garbed itself in white. The cold weather is almost general in the state. There was a slight moderation, however, in the elements’ intensity today. 1 * ' THREE NEW SCHOOLS IN ROWAN COMPLETED Woodleaf, Cleveland and Mount TJlla Will Open New Buildings During The Week.
