Luther T. Hartsell, also a Concord

against such an ambitious program.
It intimated that it might like the

“TOO DRUNK” HE HOPES
TO ESCAPE LONG PRISON
TERM FOR GIRL’S DEATH
E. B Leonard, Charlotte Cig
ar Salesman, Carries Case
to State Supreme Court
For Hearing.
Seeking to sa.ve their client from a
term of 17 years for manslaughter
in the State penitentiary, attorneys
for E. B. Leonard, Charlotte cigar
salesman, in an appeal to the State
Supreme Court in Raleigh Tuesday,
attempted to prove that I>eouard was
too drunk to have been driving the
speeding automobile which crashed in
to another car on the night of lasj.
May 13th, bringing death instantly to
to 14-year-old Evelyn Gentry.
“The crucial point in this case, and
the one upon which it largely depends,
under the State's theory of the case
and the evidence, is whether the de
fendant was driving the car himself,’
defense counsel declared.
“There is no evidence nor conten
tion that any one else was driving
the car by his direction and authority
and the State hangs its whole case
upon its ability to prove that the de
fendant was himself driving the car
at the time of the wreck, in person.
“We respectfully submit that there
was not sufficient evidence on this* i
point to warrant a conviction.” For
which reason they contended Judge
Finley, who was presiding over the
trial at the August term of Cabarrus
Superior Court, should have allowed
the defense motion to dismiss for a
judgment of non-suit.
Leonard’s attorneys, Colonel T. L.
Kirkpatrick, of Charlotte, and former
State Senator L. T. Hartsell, of Con
cord, also attacked the judge's charge
to the jury, complaining that parts
of the charges were “so involved, ab
struse, technical and complicated,
bringing in elements entirely foreign
to the case aud theories of law that
have no application whatever to the
case at bar” as to seriously prejudice
the rights of the defendant. Numer
ous exceptions were cited to the ad
mission of testimony by the couit.
At the time of the automobile ecash,
George Yoglar and Mr. and Mrs. C.
W. Davis, all of Charlotte, were rid
ing with Leonard in the latter’s
Chrysler automobile. Declaring that
I Leonard in his first sober moment af
ter the accident denied that he was
driving the machine, the defense at
torneys suggested that, his companions
were “obviously interested in fixing
the responsibility upon the defendant
to save themselves.”
The State's case was argued to the
high court by Assistant Attorney
General Frank Nash who laid stress
upon the position that the jury had
heard the evidence and reached its
verdict from the facts presented,
wherefore he contended, the case
should not now be overruled.
The automobile crash occurred while
and .three occupants were
passing through Kannapolis on the
night of May 13th following a drink
ing orgy that had begun early in the
afternoon.
The driver of the other machine,
Rev. C. K. Gentry, was turning into
a road to his home when the speed
ing car crashed into him, throwing the
occupants of his car to the road and
killiug his daughter instantly.

BASKETBALL TO GET
DAVIDSON ATTENTION
With Football Season About Over, In
terest Turns to Basketball and
Wrestling.
Davidson, N. C., Nov. 22.—With
football season nearing it* end, inter
est of Davidson College students will
soon turn to basketball and wrestling,
the two sports next in order. The call
for basket boll practice was issued some
time ago, and today announcement
was made by P. J. Garrison, of Cov
ington, Ga., captain of the 1928
wrestling team, that the matmen
wou.d begin their workouts next Mon
day.
For the past several seasons the
wrestling team has been under the
tutelage of Capt. Geo. 11. < Weenie,
former head of the local R. O. T. C.
unit, and at ODe time captain of the
West Point grapplers. He has been
transferred, however, and it bad not
been determined today who would act
as mentor for the candidates during
the approaching season.
Only three of the seven letter men of
this sport are at Davidson this year,
four of them having graduated. Be
sides Capt. Garrison, T. E. Hill, of
Richmond, Va., and F. L. Flytlie, of
Laurel Hill, will wrestle for David
son.
It was announced today that match
es had been scheduled with the Uni
versity of North Carolina. Virginia
Military Institute, Washington and

THE CONCORD TIMES
COUNTY SCHOOLS
RANK 81st IN THE
TEACHER TRAINING
Cabarrus Has Lower Rating
Than Any Adjacent Coun
ty and Is Far Below the
State Average*
Cabarrus county school teachers
rank eighty-first out of a total of one
hundred counties in training per
centage, according to a.. statistical
table in a recent issue of “State
School Facts,” an organ published at
Raleigh by State school authorities.
V This table deals with the rating of
the teachers employed in the county
schools and each county is ranked ac
cording to its standing as compared
with the 99 other counties in the
State.
Makers of the table used an index
to determine the rank given each
county—an index based upon the
training and certificates of the teach
ers who are iu service. A county
with an index of 400 would have
teachers who have, on the average,
completed high school work and who
hold elementary B certificates. Fol
lowing the same idea, a county with
an index of 500 would have teachers
who have, on the average, completed
one year of college work and who hold
elementary A certificates.
Cabarrus, with an index rating of
508.6, is considerably below her
neighboring counties and 55.8 below
the state wide average of 564.4. A
table comparing the counties in this
section follows-:
Index Rank
Mecklenburg 674.2 4
Stanly 577.3 45
Union 568.4 50
Rowan 564.1 53
Iredell ~ 559.3 56
Cabarrus 508.6 SI
Thus it will be seen that the teach
ers of Mecklenburg county have had
almost one and three-fourths years
more training than the teachers of
Cabarrus. In othef words, teachers
with low ratings cannot obtain work
iu Mecklenburg, but can, unless the
standards are raised, turn to this
county and secure positioms in the
schools.
Going back over the past four years,
it w'ill be found that Cabarrus has
consisteutly lost ground in the train
ing percentages of her teachers. While
Iredell, Rowan, Union and Mecklen
burg have all showed a gain iu rank
ing points, this county has showed a
loss of 13, dropping from 68th place
in 1923 to 81st in 1927.
In other words, the average county
in the state has improved the rating
of the teachers by exactly one year
of training, wheras in Cabarrus the
ratings within the five-year period
were improved by less than three
fourths of a year’s training.
At present a course is being taken
by county teachers that will tend to
ward raising their rating. Every
teacher who is not a graduate of a
grade A college is wpected to take
the extension course or to enroll for
correspondence work from- some recog
nized institution.
It is hoped by educational author
ities that the programs of the State
department will materially discount
the low class certificates in this coun
ty within the next few years.

SUPREME COURT OF
STATE HEARS SOME
CABARRUS APPEALS
Blakeney Wants New Trial
as Does M. S. Lewis. —
Arrest Judgment Sought in
the Lewis Case.
Today’s Raleigh News and Observer
has the following concerning Cabarrus
cases which were heard by the State
Supreme Court yeaterday:
Appeal of Carl T. Blakeney, former
cashier of the Bank of Midland in
Cabarrus county, convicted on a
charge of having set fire to the bank
ing house, was heard by the Supreme
Court yesterday. Appeals from the
15th and 16th judicial districts are
being argued this week.
It was alleged by the State that
Blakeney, a banker of 25 years of ex
perience, burned the bank to cover up
alleged irregularities and shortages
amounting approximately to $5,000.
Upon conviction of arson he was
gived four to five years in the State
Prison.
Blakeney before going to Midland
in 1923 had been cashier of the bank
at Jefferson and proved an excellent
character. He testified that owing to
keeping open the bank alt day, he did
not have time to keep the books prop
erly. He denied that he burned the
bank building in order to cover up the
alleged irregularities.
The court took under advisement
the motion to arrest judgment in the
case of M. S. Lewis, of Kannapolis,
who was convicted and fined for fail
ure to send his children to school. He
objected to the physical culture ex
ercises and told his children not to
take them. Thereupon they were sus
pended, and he was then indicted.
Motion was made to arrest judg
ment on the ground that the indict
ment failed to specify that the chil
dren were not sent to school else
where was met by tt motion of As
sistant Attorney General Nash, to
amend the indictment to fit the evi
dence. Both motions were taken un
der advisement.
Another appeal argued yesterday in
volved an intermediate sentence to the
county roads of Cabarrus. The statute
permits an intermediate sentence to
the State Prison, but not to the roads.
Attorneys appearing before the
Supreme Court yesterday included the
following: H. S. Williams, L. T.
Hartsell and Frank Armfield. Con
cord; Mark Squires. Lenoir; J. LL
Burke, Taylorsville: I C. Avery, Mor
ganton; W. Rudisill, lincolnton.

SOCIAL AT BAPTIST
CHURCH IS ENJOYED
BY MANY LAST NIGHT
Dr. Luther Little of Char
lotte, Delivered Principal
Talk. —Mrs. Craven Gives
Church History.
The social which was given by the
Woman’s T. E. L. Bible class at the
First Baptist Church Tuesday night
was unique, a delightful success.
More than 150 people, including mem
bers and friends of the church, were
present for the entertainment, dif
ferent but interesting to say the least.
Mrs. Crooks, president of the class,
made the address of welcome, and ex
plained what the T. E. L. (Timoty,
Eunice. Lois) meant. Then Mrs.
K. L. Craven, one of the charter mem
bers of the First Baptist Church, gave
an interesting account of the early
history of the institution,
Dr. Luther Little, of Charlotte,
made the chief address of the pro
gram, speaking humorously but nev
ertheless truthfully on the topic:
‘'People Who We Have Met.” He
spoke of the newly-weds who com
pletely forget church work during the
first two years of married life, after
which they fall back in line in their
church activities.
The Charlotte pastor had words to
say about the “can-but-won’t people.”
Everybody knows some of these folks,
who can do but are so lazy and life
less that they simply won’t. Dr.
Little also spoke of double-tongued
people, who talk all the time and nev
er say anything. He spoke of other
classes of people auch as: egotistic,
useless, the bores, mirth-makers, and
the willing-burden bearers.
Refreshments were served to the
guests.

GRID SEASON FOR
MOST TEAMS WILL
CLOSE THURSDAY
Few Scattered Games Later
But Most Teams Will
Wind Up Work Tomor
row. —Predictions Made.
By W. M. SHERRILL
Grid stars in various parts of the
countrv will hang up their togs for
the season after tomorrow’s games,
for in most cases the Turkey Day
games bring the season to a close. A
few important games will be played
later, but as A whole the season ends
Thanksgiving Day and champions
usually are made or broken by the
end of that day.
Two important games are sched
uled in North Carolina tomorrow, and
in practically every other State in
the Union there are games as import
ant to the fans there as are the two
games in this State.
Taking front rank in Tar Heelia
will be the Carolina-Virginia clash at
Chapel Hill. The game has no bear
ing on a State championship or a
conference championship, 'but just the
same it is recognized as one of the
South's annual classics, and this year
promises to be better than usual if
the Weather Man will hold back the
rain now predicted.
Duke and Davidson meet tomorrow
also, and this game has a bearing on
the State race. Each team has been
defeated by State and Carolina and in
addition the Durham Devils have a
victory over Wake Forest to their
credit while the Presbyterians tied
the Baptists.
Further Souths we find Georgia and
Alabama in annual clash; Georgia
Tech playing Auburn and Vanderbilt
playing Sewanee. These games have
been important for years and may de
termine the conference standing.
In South Carolina the Furman
Hurricane clashes with the Tigers
from Clemßon in a game that will
decide tbe Palmetto State champion
ship, while at Baltimore the Mary
land and John Hopkins teams will
decide the State honors of Mary
i land.
Such old rivals as Penn and Coi*
nell and Penn State and Pittsburgh
meet in the east, while thf N. Y. 11.
outfit goes west to meet Nebraska in
their annual battle.
Ordinarily we are content to try
to pick 12 winners but the swan song
comes today and we are taking a
wild fling at a Dumber of games. We
are skipping about the country as
we place our support behind various
teams, conscious of the fact that the
outcomes may be entirely different
from our predictions if rain falls on
a number of the grid fields. Take
the game at Chapel Hill, for instance.
We give Carolina the edge on a dry
field, but if it rains we would not be
surprised at a tie. But here goes,
let the chips fall where they may :
Carolina over Virginia.
Duke over Davidson.
N. C. State over,South Carolina.
Mercer over Wake Forest.
Elon over Lenoir-Rliyne.
Georgia over Alabama.
V. P. I. over V. M. I.
Furman over Clemson.
Georgia Tech over Auburn.
Tennessee over Kentucky.
Maryland over Johns Hopkins.
Vanderbilt over Sewauee.
Washington and Lee over Florida.
Chattanooga over Oglethorpe.
Syracuse over Columbia.
N. Y. IT. over Nebraska.
Wofford over Newberry.
Penn over Cornell.
Penn State over Pittsburgh.
Washington over Oregon.
