TRADE WEEK.
Concord business men have stopped
at no expense to make Trade Week,
which begins here Thursday, the larg
est event of its kind in the history of
this county. They have raised a large
sum :of money for the purpose of of
fering attractive prizes, they have
spent much money for advertising, and
they have reduced the prices on their
goods to rock bottom, it is safe to
predict that the event will lie a great
success, for people are anxious to get
seasonable goods at special prices, and
that is just what they will lie able to
<lo here during the big week.
The event starts Thursday morning,
May 24th. and will continue until tl p.
m., Saturday. June 2nd. These dates
have been chosen so that the sale will
run through two Saturdays. Farm
people and employes of manufacturing
plants do most of their shopping on
Saturdays, when their work is light
est, and for this reason the trade event
will include two Saturdays. The draw
ing of the prizes will take place on
Saturday. June 2nd. tit 7 p. m„ and per
sons desiring to win the cars must be
present when the drawing takes place.
Concord stores will offer an unus
ual line of goods for the big trade
event. Heads of the business houses
have ordered a large supply of goods
and these will he offered at the lowest
possible prices. The goods to lie offer
ed will not lie made up mostly of carry
overs, hut‘will lie commodities Dial arc
needed now or staple goods that are
always needed. The advertisements
that appear in this paper or that will
appear in this paper during the week
show in a small way just what will tie
offered on a large scale when the.
trade event gets in full swing.
The event has been planned by the
merchants for two reasons. First, to
create more interest in Concord as a
trading center, and second to create a
greater impetus for Spring and Sum
mer trading.
Persons who fail to take advantage
of the price bargains to lie offered
while the trade event is in progress,
will miss an opportunity to save mon
ey on necessities.
MAY ENTER ANOTHER FIELD.
Reports from Detroit that Henry
Ford may enter the textile Held will
lie of general interest and of special
interest to tiie South. Reports from
the home of the automobile nmnufac
_ turer state that experimei ts are under
way at the Michigan Park plant of
the Fords “to determine the most ef
ficient textile machinery and methods
of weaving, so that ull the neeessury
information will be available whenever
it is dfsired to enter the textile field.”
It is reported that the Ford plants
use annually Sfi.OQO.OOO pounds of cot
ton fabrics, exclusive .of duck, and
that the Ford consumption of cottor. is
equu! to 1.70 per cent, of tile entire
American crop of 1922. At the pres
ent time all fuhries used are purchas
ed in the open market. Mv. Ford evi
dently believes that, he can mnnuiac
tote his fiwn-.ifubrics cjieaper than lie
enn i-'lt’ls- estimated in
one report that should Sir. Ford get
Muscle Shoals he may use part of the
power developed there to. operate the
textile plants he is thinking of operat
ing. Shoulds the Fords go into thin
line of industry, The Mrnufactnrers
j Record points Out, “their enormous use
lof cotton, wool and other fabrics
-would make of the Ford Motor Com
ipany one of the greatest textile pro-
I ducers in the country; and that (lie
Fords have some original ideas in con
nection with the industry is indicated
by the fact that they have turned
down offers of several complete textile
plants in the East which have lieen
made to them.”

SENATOR SIMMONS HAS

Added Impetus to Morrison Pro
posal.
New Bern. May 20.—■’Reports from
various sections of eastern Carolina
and observations of iocal men indi
cate that Senator Simmons' strong
statement of the possibilities in
waterway development open to North
Carolina made before Morrison’s ship
commission, has given momentum to
the governor’s state-owned shipping
project.
Conceded even by members of the
commission as having been the first
comprehensive data presented to the
commission, the senator's speech has
solidified sentiment for the project in
tb.is section. When he brought out so
forcefully the fact that North Caro
lina has an ocean frontage of 250’
miles with a surface of 3,500 square
miles, characterizing it as tin- great
est system of inland waterways in the
world .showing that the state was
deriving little or no benefit from it.
he gave oven the most indifferent
North Carolina something to think
about.

his way to Mt. Pleasant, and upon ask
ing her what she would have him to
say to the young women and voung
men, she replied: (1) to maintain a
clean, pure character. In this day of
fads and fancies the youth of the land
are apt tp .ignore this important fac
tor in preparing for a successful .life.
( 2 > To complete their education. This
generation now starting life will have
to face a world of competition, and mu
less they are fully equipped with a
complete education thev cannot con
quer in the battle of life. CD To be
careful in tiie choice of a lif, work
herself or himself what his or her re-
Kaeh individual should choose f„ r
spective life work should lie. The big
idea was that it was of little signifi
cance what the choice was, but that it
must _be chosen with prayerful con
sideration, that it -must be taken to
God. the Fountain of Life.
Dr. Gongaware took his text from I
John. 5:4, "Anjl this is the-victory that
overcome!h the world, even our faith."
The speaker said that such phrases as
"Making Good.” “Forging Ahead,” and
“Success in business,” were familiar
to every American: that these have a
decided influence upon the lives of our
people, that to make good one must
have faith in himself, lmt that the se
cret of true success was faith in God:
that unless we hart faith in the life
breathing, pulsating God our lives
were doomed to defeat, destruction and
death. The definition of Faith was
“Power of the soul by which we ap
prehend Divine Truth."
Then the Seven Wonders of the
World and the Seven Great Americans
were mentioned. It was a fine thing
to he a great American. Those men
uere worthy of our emulation: hut
there had lived on the face of the earth
only one perfect mail, the Man of
Galilee. He said that T am the Wav
the Truth and the Life."
Again there Mere three factors
M'hicli determined what a life would
be: lilt Heredity. By heredity a tier
son Mils endowed with certain physical
properties, properties of blood .-.nil in
tellect'. Our lives were, begun several
generations hack, and all the. e had
their influence upon the individual. It
m .is a great thing to have a my tie an-i
vestry: it Mats a pleasing sight lo look!
.at a distinguished family tree, lmt no
one Mils to lie down in the shade of
it.
*• Environment. By environment 1
ua_s meant tile schools attended,
the religion professed, the very air
breathed. Strong men andistrong \vo
n.er sometimes .overcame bad environ
ment. but as a rule, the life’ was the
product of the environment in which
it was reared.
(Hi. Human will. The human will
energized by the grace of God was the
greatest factor. Any man could smile
u hen tile world was smiling with him,
but the test of a man was the man
who could smile when the world goes
deed wrong. This could lie done only
when the human will were energized
by faith in the living God.
In closing the speaker saw in each
young man and young woman a King
and Queen. He saw it them the pos
sibility of Victory. He left two pic
tures with them. The first was of Da
vid. the famous ruddy-faced boy. the
shepherd who Was called in from
watching his sheep to carry a kit of
food and comfort to ids brothers in
the army. He found his brothers
afraid, and lie went out to tight the
giant with only liis sling. lit* brought
back the head of the giant, nailed it on
the wall, and wrote over it: "This is
the victory that overcoiaeth the world.

was that of Christ Himself. He was
the Great Example 'The spirit of the
I,ord was upon Fftiu. Lie'came to
preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
I)r. Gougaware's last entreaty was:
"All hail the power of Jesus' Name.”
You do not crown Him unless you
crown Him Lord of all. and if you <l6
not "crown Him Lord of all" you do
i.ot crown Him at all.
Address hy Mr. Seiiaeft'er.'
Sunday evening at <N o'clock the an
nual address before the religious or
ganization of the two institutions was
delivered by Rev. 11, Brent Schaeffer,
of Kings Mountain. N. C. Mr. Schaef
fer is Secretary of the Baited Evangel
ical Lutheran Synod of North Caroli
na, and is regarded as one of the most
forceful ai d successful young minis
ters in the Synod.
Mr. Schaeffer based his remarks up
on parts of several verses found in
the fourteenth chapter of St. John.
In the twenty-seventh verse are these
words: "Peace I leave with you. My
peace I give unto you; not as the world
giveth, give unto you." In the four
teenth verse are found these: "If ye
shall ask anything in My name. I will
do it." Also 7t the second verse is
jfound this: "In My Father’s house are
many mansions: if it were not so, I
would have told you. I go to prepare
[a place for you."
I All who ate Christians possess alike
the peace of Christ in their hearts.
THE CUNCORD OXIEY TRIBUNB
The lives of those prho know not the
peace of God are empty of heart: The
Christian's life |„ a life ,of peace, of
pou-er, and of phue. Jt is a life of
peace in that he is not afraid to search
the heart for slji. He is not tossed
to and fro by the power of satan. He
is no longer at enmity with God.
Peace with God- brings the power of
God. It is the peace of Hifci who
changeth not,' sickness, storms, pesti
lences, and the trials and disasters of
life cannot take au*ny that 'peace of
God.
Then, the Christian's life is a life
of power. It possesses the power of
prayer. The h’mnblest p&wer is a
power. We are promised that which
we ask in His name'. In prayer there
is the spirit of God. and the spirit of
God knowing the mind of God makes
intercession with God.
Also, Ihe Christian's life is a life of
place. The Christian is meek And
humble. Me is a servant. Yet, we
are promised that the meek shall '-.in
herit the earth, and he that humbleth
himself shall lie exalted. The Chris
tian's place is in the Father’s house of
many mansions, the place Christ pre
pared. /
The peace, power and place of the
Christian should make an irresistible
appeal. Wealth, lands and material
possessions are small as compared n-ith
the wealth, of the Christian life. The
church is .calling that u'e use our
wealth in the service' of the Lord.
God is calling men that they may en
jo*‘ the wealth of the Christian life —
the life of peace, of power and ot place.

Mothers of Famous Men
The Mother of Franklin Pierce..
Does a girl of today love a new hat?
Dot's she like the latest style in dress
es—and bright colors—anti does she
like to have young men look at her
and hdmire her? So did Anna Kend
rick. away back in 788, up In Hills
borough, New Hampshire. “La! It's
all woods and hills here!” she said.
“Who is there to see all my prettv
things?"
“There’s the young widower, Cup
tain Benjamin Pierce,” suggested
some one slyly,
"Do you think I’ll look at him.” Anna
Kendrick tossed her head. “Not I.
A widower indeed.”
But she did look. Captain Benja
min Pierce was a fine, strong young
man. He had served all the long
years of the American Revolution, and
now he had coipe up into the New
Hampshire hills to lie a farmer. . He
bad been happily married, lmt his wife
had died only a few months after he
had married her—and now he was left
alone in the little square log house
that he had built with his own hands.
He was lonely enough, there in the
circle of black woods, n'ith the frown
ing hills looking down upon aim.
The moment he saw Anna Kendrick lie
knew tiiat she was north the looking
at.
Anna Kendrick was one of those
bright-eyetk lively, mischievous girls,
short and well-formed, who attract at
tention anywhere. Bite had a nat
ural taste in dress, and she wore any
thing well. . Because she knou- all
this, she insisted upon the very lat
est that she could find in clothing, and
she burdened many a messenger who
M'ent don-ii to the sea coast, insisting
that lie bring hack something new for
her. She could talk her father into
buying anything for her. "Fie! fie!
'] here s that Mistress Kendrick in all
her fed ribbands and finery !" said the
ihni old gosi&sps on Sundays. There
■kite: nils, sure tfnough, pretty dressed
.wonderful bonnet that she herself had
made, and ail. She looked just onee
at Captain Benjamin Pierce, and lit'
proposed—as she had nfeant him to
do. They lived very huppilv in the
h>si hemp, -and there she taught Frank
lin l’ieree. her son, how to read. How
could s)ie know that tlie mischievous
boy u-onld become the President of the
United States? Stic gave him her
love, as she had given him her vi
vacity and activity and that was
enough. -
