Mr. Frank Kin-fats, son of Mrs. Leah Klutts, of Rimertown, was bitten by a dog Saturday morning. He -was playing; with the dog -when the animal suddenly snapped him on the arm, in flicting only slight wound. The dog showed signs of being 'sick and bey immediately locke dbim up in the burn, Sunday morning it was very evident that there -was something wrong with the animal and from the account of his actions k ia very prob able that he had the rabies. The dog died last night and its head was brought to the city thia morning. Dr. B. L. Griffin immediately sent it to the Pasteur Institute in Raleigh to be ex amined. If it ia found the dog had hydrophobia young Klutti will be sent ti the Institute for treatment. Dr. D. G. Caldwell and daughter, Miss Marie, Mr. F. L. Smith and Dr. R. M. King left thia morning for Mooresville, where Dr. Caldwell will be married tonight to Miss Camilla McCorklc SEVENTEEN YEAR LOCUSTS DUE Government Reports Say They are Due in this Locality thia Year. Several days ago we published an article from the Baltimore Sun sav ing the report that the 17-year locusts were due this year 'was an error. This may applv to the Maryland section, Vbut the following from the Statesville Landmark shows that they are due in t his section : The State Department of Agricul ture at Raleigh calls attention to the faetthnt the "17-year-old locus" is to appear this year in the region from Raleigh, in Wake county, to the north ern limit of the State and in the coun lies of Cabarrus, Davie, Iredell, Row an, hurry and Yadkin. This prediction ts based on publications of the United Stales Department of Agriculture at Washington, where past outbreaks have been recorded. The insect ia noisy and conspic uous. The slitting of twigs by the females does some harm to orchards,, but not as lnucli as at first appears. The "singing" is done entirely by the males, the females being unable to produce sound. The insects ap pear in some places at regular in lervals, owing to the fact that there are several broods, and that some of Uieiu come every 13 years and others 17 years. The crop of this year is of the li-year race. It was present in 189.1, and its progeny is predicsted in 1927. It will be interesting to watch the clumsy grub like insects come out of the ground, crawl upon the trees, fences, etc., and shed t;he skin, com ing forth with wings. They are per fectly harmless to persons and can be handled freely. They 'will not appear everywhere in all the territory named, but only in detinite localities. They usually appear from about May 2(11 b to June 20th. Death of Well-Known Colored Man. Robert Russeli, a well known and reseotd colored man, died yesterday afternoon. "Uncle Bob" as he was familiarly known, went to ihis room at Dr. Houston's to sleep, suon after dinner, and late iu the afternoon 'when the cook called 'him she received no reply. On raising the window auden teriug the room she found "Uncle Bob" dead. He had 'been tsu (faring from heart trouble for several months, aud his death was not unexpected. lie had been a servant in the home ot Dr. Houston for the past 14 years and was an honest and faithful servant who alwavs proved true to every trust of his employer. "Uncle Bob" was of the old tvpe of negro, always polite and respectful, and in return he al ways received kind consideration troin every one. Jle was a member ot rsig ion church, where the funeral will be held this afternoon. "Uncle Bob s kind is rapidly passiug, and bis exam ple is worthy of emulation by the you n iter members of his race. Concord P. B. & Loan Association. The annual meeting of the stock holders of the Concord Perpetual Building & lioau Asociation was held last night at the court house. The sec retary's report was read and approv ed. The report showed that two se ries matured and were paid off during the year, amounting to $3,600.00 and 237.1 shares iu force at the present time.

Bev- eridge, Republican Senator from In diana. i ' MR. R. L. DOUGHTON NEVER VOTED FOR A REPUBLICAN. A Statement That Was Abandoned in the Campaign Two Years Ago Re vived by Republicans. Last Monday this paper gave pub licity to the rumor that Mr. R. L. Doughtoii, one of the candidates for Congress in this district, bad voted tor Blackburn aud Cowles. This ru mor had been persistently circulated but we did not believe it. We are glad to tind the 'following in today's Raleigh News and Observer: The Concord Tribune puts in print a rumor it says is iu circulation in that section to the effect that one of the aspirants for the Democratic nom ination for Congress in the Eighth District voted for Spencer Blackburn for Congress. It has been printed that I lie candidate alluded to is Sen ator R.. L. Doughtoii, of Alleghany Mr. Doughtoii was iu Raleigh yester day. He wan shown the printed report and said: "Two years ago when I was a can didate for the Senate, my Republican opponent started out insinuating that 1 had voted lor Blackburn lor Con gress. 1 then denied the statement as 1 had never voted for a Republican in my life, it was dropped. The statement is without foundation. I see it has now been revamped. "This reHrt comes from Republi cans and 1 do not believe any Demo cratic aspirant for Congress has put any credence in the statement or Las repeated it. 1 was elected to the Sen ate in that close senatorial district in 1908. "i am making no light for the nomi nation, having asked nobody to sup port me and 1 would not be a candi date unless my party believed I was an available candidate. The Demo crats can carry the district. If I am nominated 1 will make an active cam paign. If some one else is deemed a stronger candidate 1 will help him carrv t lie tlisl rid." Advertising Columns. There is a paper in Texas called the Mertzon Star, iu which are found the following apt and sensible paragraphs: "There is hardly an issue of the Star in which you could not save the price of a year's subscription to the paper by reading the advertisements. The merchants are realizing more and more that the buying public watches the newspaper for any special bar gains or any new fabric or garment they may have to otter, consequently they have come to rely upon the col umns of the newspaper to give pub licity to such items of store news, md a merchant can no more afford to misrepresent his goods in his adver tisement when he talks to vou f;ice to face." . That is true absolute true. The news column and the editorials of a newspaper may be ever so bright and interesting, aud jet to a great incuts of the adevrtisers have the number of readers the fine announce more special appeal. This is an advertising age. Train ed men, specialists, write the adver tising. It must not only be attrac tive, but true. By so doing he ac quires w isdom and saves money. Rev. J. Walter Simpson Receives Unanimous Call to Texas. The following telegram 'was received yesterJay afternoon by Rev. J. Wal ter Simpson, pastor of the A. R. P. church : Corsicana, Texas, June 12, 1010. Rev. J. Walter Simpson, Concord, N. C. A unanimous call as settled pastor was made for you Sabbath morning. Arrange to be here on the fifth Sab bath in July, so that Brother Griffith can install you.

Miss Grace Brown will leave Friday night for Tryon to be the guest of Mrs. E. R. Rankin, who is entertaining a large number of her friends at a house party. 'Miss Brown -will visit friends in Rockingham' and other places before returning to Concord about July 1st. Ax THE AIR. Hamilton Got the Name from His Daredevil Dips, and Glides. Charles K. Hamilton, the daring av iator, who on Monday ran the first aerial express from New York to Philadelphia,, began doing stunts with aeroplanes less than a year ago, mak ing his first flights i:i one of these skimmers of the air on November 2ti, lHOtt. What has brought attention to him in the past few months has been his proiensity to do the unusual with his machines rather than to set tle down to long distance flights. In the recent flights at Mineola Hamilton 'won for himself the nick name of "Bclxdiuk of the Air." His chief io a stop at a delight, it seemed, was to rise height of 000 or 800 feet, then his motor and swoop earthward terrific speed, skimming the ground and landing 'without- so much lis a jrlt. Hamilton, had, Corevcr, previously made o:io long distance trip of 53 miles. One day in January he flew from San Diego, C'al., a distance of 2b' 1-2 miles across the JTexico border and back igain 'without stepping. Thirty miles of this iriji was over the Pacific Oceru and a large part of it out uf sight of land. Accordingly, Hamilton lays claim to Laving been the first to fly ill ail aeroplane entirely out of sight uf hind. Also. I hat he was the first to cross -the I Hi'c.i States border line onto another coun try. It was Hamilton's long glides through I he air that won him notice, however. In making these the aviator seems to "let go of nil holts" after having mounted to a great height, us ually from 800 to 1,000 feel, ami come sliding down through the air at a tre mendous speed, driven only by the weight of his machine, the motor hav ing been shut off. Several times Hamilton has had i-lose calls while doing his feat, the losesi having been when he uiiscal iiilaleil his distance while flying over Lake Washington, at Seattle several months ago and dived into the 'water. The surface of the lower planes broke he force of his fall so effectually that he got off almost unhurt. Perhaps the nearest to death thai Hamilton has been in his career .vas once when he went up in a dirigible from Paterson, N. J. Right after he left the ground he lost his ballast and the cylinder pointed up through the clouds like a rocket. It rose 6,000 feet while he was struggling "wlith the valve cord, finding out that the valve was jammed and would not respond. At a height recorded by the aneroid barometer Hamilton carried, as 14, 000 feel, the bag burst. The silk case fell over I he framework of the car riage in such a manner as to form a parachute and il sank gradually to the ground. Hamilton is the man who a few weeks ago contracted with the Char lotte Observer and Chronicle to Hy in Charlotte, but who violated his con tract. Beware of Straw Itch. Persons who use straw mattresses run the ris'k of being attacked by the straw itch, a disease new to American physicians. It is a peculiar itching eruptive disease due to the attack of a small straw aud grain infesting mite. Public attention has been called to the subject by Joseph Ooldberger, passed assistant surgeon in the public health servrce. Surgeon (hddberger says the pres ence of the mite in the straw or grain is dependent on the occurrence in the straw or grain of certain insect para sites upon which the mite preys. To the farmer this mite is ordinarily beneficial in that by preying upon the insect parasites of wheate the damage to bis crops by the latter is minimized. Miss Beulah Walter left this morn ns for Ansonville to visit friends. ITHBZC UOfX vrovn. vsNBss'ii-A KNOTT r'HtOBLSM-!, Wet? WITHOUT DOUBT h SCHICK I NGUC 'COUNfOwiLLMZLf1.
