C OTTON MARKET Cotton _n .10 Cotton seed -CO IHEY! FANS, 2 GAMES j OF BASKETBALL HERE j FRIDAY; BE ON HAND Y Cagers Play Catawba Col ! lege as Final Half of the Bill. —Winecoff Meets thfc Spider Quintet. The Concord Y. M. C. A. will send into the field of basketball competi tion the most formidable quintet in its history, if experienced players | mean anything. Such former college ! stars as Blomfield, Morrison. Long j and Davis are outstanding members lof the “Y" squad from which a team will be selected to play the crack | Catawba College five at the high school gymnasium Friday night. The match with Catawba will be the final half of a twin exhibition. Winecoffs . cage warriors will battle the high school quintet, beginning at 7:15 o'clock, and one hour later Ca- j j tawba will take the floor against the Y team. Blomfield. former star center of the University of Missouri basketball team,, is coach of the high school team, and also plays at center for the Y five. A series of successful practice ses sions finds tlie Y squad in the pro verbial pink for the fray with Ca tawba. The cagers are ready for the must gruelling game, subjecting themselves to physical tests during the training jieriod. They have “built Up" their wind, putting the lungs in perfect condition to avoid exhaustion from the continuous dash ing about the court. There is no doubt in the minds of Y. M. C. A. officials about Concord boasting its best cage team in many years. They are sure of it. Blom field will take the center position against Catawba, the elongated school teacher being just the sort of man a coach wants for the job. Blomfield Inis been good, but he is more than 'good now. Ilis passing and toot work baffles, and lie's no blind man when it comes to shooting the ball through the hoops. Ed Morrison and Bob Dick will likely spirt the game as forwards. Morrison is a former Davidson col lege and X. C. State studeut. Elu sive in his dribbling and accurate in his shots. Morrison »is a valuable member of the squad. It is indeed a tight place when Morrison can not dribble the ball to clear quarters and then send it whirling into the bas ket. Bob Dick has been a Y player for several seasons, and his many years of experience makes him valu able .-is the other forward. Bob has a keen eye-sight, a sense of accuracy and it's scTdoui that he misses a shot when the ball comes into his hands. In guards. Coach Charles (Nixon has lots of material. Hobart Davis and .Marvin Long, however, are the more promising. Davis. Nebraska star of other days, follows his man like a detective, and gives the oppos ing forward many other things to do besides tossing wildly at the basket. Marvin lyoug is a type like Davis. He follows his man. Basketball fans here will see two of the best guards in the business when Davis and Long get into action. Other guards and forwards are splendid in their work, and no doubt will get into every game are: Tom Coltrane. Fete Lentz. Clyde Shoaf. Robert Cline, Nick Suppenfield and others. The admission to the twin bill to morrow night will be 25 and 50 cents.

POPULATION BEGINS TO ACQUIRE SPlfelT OF CHRISTMAS TIME Vanguard of Shoppers Start Pouring Into City.—Santa Claus Prepares For His World-wide Trip. ‘ Shop early!" A timeworn expression but often unheeded suggestion is "shop early” i when the sea soy us good cheer' — j is just around the corner. Folks, it | is surprising ju«st how close Christ mas is— fourteen shopping days away. Yon can bet your grandmother’s ducks that there is activity at North Pole. Santa Claus, the prince of good fellows and ’‘blues-chaser,” i«s making ready for his world-wide trip of happiness. The jolly, whiskered Kris Kringle is packing millions of toys into his sleigh foi good little girls and boys, and Santa’s assist ants are busy acknowledging letters from the little folks of the universe. The Christmas stir is not confined wholly to the castle of Santa. Right here is Concord, there is a hustle. The population is beginning to ac quire the spirit of the season. Shop pers have begun their annual Christ mas tours of the business section— buying gifts for mother, -dad, broth er. sister, and sweethearts. Godd Matured shoppers, too; they do pot mind the push or the occasional cl bow-jab they get in the ribs. It's almost. Christmas and there is no lime for ill temiKTs. Such mystery about the vanguard of holiday shoppers. With a twin kle of satisfaction they come out of the stores with suspicious-looking bundles and packages under their arms. Undoubtedly. a gift or gifts for some friends or loved ones. Even the messenger or “trip” boys ride through the streets with pack ages with the same mysterious air. They usually know what’s in these packages, and are reticent, very. The local merchants started pre paring for this shopping rush long before the turkey was led to the bloek and his htyul chopped off. Shelves and counters in stores hold hundreds of beautiful and useful gifts. The display windows, attractively arrang ed in their Yuletide backgrounds, suggest, many of the useful things to buy at Christmas time. Now, folks, let’s -“shop early’’ for the sake of the salespeople. It’s aw ful to be “worked to death” three days before Christmas. Most of the salespeople are so tired out when Christinas does arrive, that it's im possible for them to enjoy the day. Why not make out the Hot of gifts and other tilings which you must have for the Yuletide season and be gin shopping today. DEFENDANTS WIN VERDICT IN CIVIL SUIT YESTERDAY Jury Decides That J.

HEARSAY EVIDENCE IN BLAKENEY CASE AIDS THE DEFENSE The State Supreme Court Orders New Trial in Case Growing Out of Burning of Midland Bank. Carl T. Blakeney, convicted in Ca barrus Superior Court several months ago for “the felonious burning of a building on April 8, 19*20. used at this time as the Bank of Midland,” and sentenced to serve from four to five years in the State prison, gets a new trial under a decision handed down yesterday by the State Supreme eourt The court ruled that much of the State’s case was based on hearsay evidence that should not have been allowed. The bank was being examined by W. S. Coursey when the fire occur red. The state contended that the de fendant caused the fire as a means | of concealing his criminal record in | conducting that bank. On the facts [and the law Judge Stacy says: “The chief question presented by the appeal is the competency of the testimony of W. S. Coursey (above set out) With respect to the defend ant's- alleged shortage, the conceal ment of which, the state contends, was the motive for burning the building and destroying the records of the bank. Upon this evidence, the state’s ease largely depends. That it is based in part on information ob tained from the report of the state bank examiner is conceded and its in ! competency, on the ground of hear say, is not seriously questioned. Hearsay Evidence Excluded “As a general rule, hearsay evi dence is not admissible in the trial of causes where substantiative rights are involved. State vs. Springs, 184 N. C., 7l>B. 118 S. E., Sol. Hence, the courts will not ordinarly receive the testimony of a witness as to what some other person told him, as evi dence of the existence of faet as serted. Roe vs. Journegan. 175 N. 201. 95 S. E.. 495. ’The narration of conversations correctly is the most difficult fact of memory and expres sion.’ Piffett’s succession, 37; Ann. 871. Nor will a witness be per mitted to testify to facts where his knowledge thereof is derived, in whole or in part, from the unsworn statements of others. King vs. Bj utiui, 157 N. C.. 941. 49 8. E.. ‘Evi dence, oral or written, is called hear say when its probative force de pends, in whole or in part, upoti the competency and credibility of some person other than the witness b\ Eleven A. and E. (second cd.) 520. “Speaking to the question in State vs. Lassiter. 191 N. 151 S. E., .“77. Brogden, judge delivering the opinion of the court, said : " The inherent vice of hearsay tes timony consists in the faet that it derives its value not from the credi bility of the witness himself, but de pends upon the veracity and credi bility of some other person front whom the witness got his informa tion.’ Tit is is the rule supported by all the, authorities on the subject. State vs. <Jreen. 193 N. 302, 152 S. E., 729. "There are. of course, exceptions to this rule excluding hearsay evi dence. such as admissions, confes sions. dying declarations, declarations against interest, ancient documents, declarations concerning matters of public interest, of pedigree, of pre scription. of custom, and. in some cases, of boundary, and pars res gestas, but the evidence we are now considering comes under none of them. "True, the defendant, when he came to testify, was asked about the report of the" state bank examiner, and two of the directors of the bank also gave evidence in regard to it. but this did not cure the original error, as the testimony of W\ S. Coursey was the keystone in the arch of the state’s case. "For the error, as indicated, there must be a new trial.” Today’s opinions are as follows : Cromartie vs. Stone. Bladen, no error. i Fochtman vs. Creer, Ashe, no error Cecil vs. Barbee, (iuilford, af firm ed. J Harrison vs. Railroad. Davidson, reversed. Ferris. vs. Southern raihoad.
