A representative of the American lied Cross, who hurried to Camden, 8. Ci, when the news of rhe Cleveland School disaster was broadcasted, gives some idea of the far-reaching effects of the lire when in a preliminary survey he shows that 41’ orphans. 14 widows, two aged paralytics and eight serious ly injured persons will require perma nent relief and that others probably will he added to this list. The repre sentative of the lied Cross is doing everything within the power of his or ganization to care for these orphans and widows, lmt aid greater than his organization can give is needed. Gov ernor McLeod, of South Carolina, has issued a national appeal for aid. and we feel sure that within the near fu ture funds from every part of the United States, and particularly the South, will be sent to South Carolina to aid the fire sufferers. Americans complain much about the various “drives” and calls for aid that reach them, lmt they have never fail ed yet to provide bountifully when dire need is pointed out to them. And if anyone ever needed aid it is these people who have been stripped of their parents or children, their only means of support. SOUTH STILL LEADS. Cotton Spinning showed decreased activity in April as compared with March, lmt the South still is leading in spindle hours, the monthly report of the Census Department shows. Act ive spindle hours during April totalled 8,787,807. an average of 236 hours for each spindle in place, compared with 9,531,002,051 or an average of 255 in March this year, and 6,642,130.032. or an average of 180 in April last year. Spinning spindles in place April 30 numbered 37,287,265 of which 35,515,- 701 were operated at some time during the month, compared with 37,308.713 and 35,590,180 for March, and 30.- 874,309 and 31,389,695 for April last year. The average number of spindles op erated during April numbered 40,759,- 070 or at 100.3 per cent, capacity on a single shift basis, compared with 40,- 380,020, or at 108.3 per cent, capacity during March. Statistics for cotton growing states follow: Active spindle hours 4.808,775,761, or an average of 295 hours per spin dle in place, compared with 5,116,534,- 762. or 3-4 hours per spindle in March.

After many deluys and interference work on the Kannapolis road has pro gressed to a point where it is taking on definite shape. Preliminary sur veys and excavation work on a good portion of the road has l>een complet ed, and the asphalt coating is being load | new on- one stretch of the high way.--The road is classified as an A-l road in specifications of the State Highway commission, and while 1 it is not being built entirely new, it wilf* be practically a new road when com pleted. The grade crossing at Cooks Crossing will lie eliminated on the new ■ highway, anti the tracks will cross I the road ht an underpass. The eon-! struetion of the underpass will mean than an entirely new roadlnxl will have to lie constructed, but the dis tance will not be very great, aiul the \vork should not delay the opening of the road very long. The contractors on the job apparently understand the wistyes of the public, for as soon as, they completed the base work on a reasonable stretch of -the road they started laying the asphalt, nr.d that stretch of the*road will not he held up while the entire road is being com pleted.

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE LAWLESSNESS AT RIDGECREST Official Reveals Startling Story of the Work of Hoodlums. Asheville Citizen. •A story of lawlessness, of tlie sanc tity of the church itself Invaded by drunken men .who intimidated those conducting the service, of house breaking and wanton damage to pri vate homes is revealed by I>r. Lucena J. 8p riding, of Ridgecrest and Ashe ville, upon her return here hist night from the nearby conference grounds of the Southern Baptist Assembly. That such desperate conditions de mand immediate and drastic measures to suppress, is tlie assertion of Dr. Spalding, who with other members of the Ridgecrest colony is up ill arms over tile situation caused, many be lieve. by tlie steady growth of a whis key ring that has never been broken up in several years past. Very recently, according to informa tion secured by J)r. Spalding, who is a member of the Executive Commit tee of the Southern Baptist Assembly, •and who has a summer home at Ridge crest. a prayer meeting in tlie church there was entered by rowdies who made as if to injure the speaker and spat upon him. In another instance recently the home of one of the colony was severely damaged by a similar group of row dies who bore a grudge against the house owner. Another home was en tered and things of value removed, and the lock so tampered with lint the owners, arriving yesterday, were not aide to secure entrance with their keys. Groups of men, identified with what she whiskey ring of that section, jgave been seen prowling homes of other members of the colony, so that tlie entire com munity lias 'reached a state ofDidr vousness that, makes life almost un bearable. * Conscious that this state of affairs is a most serious .handicap to the growth of Ridggjiest along lines in keeping with the spirit of the assem bly. Dr. Spalding assorts it is her plan to cohiauinicate at once with offi cials of the church urging drastic no tion. She plans also io see officers, who can be of aid hi bringing to an abrupt end such lawlessness. Several arrests have*! con made. Dr. Spalding adverts, and many witnesses have ins'll subpoenaed for the trials which will probably be held in Bun combe Superior Court during the next criminal term.

TURN HAIR DARK WITH SAGE TEA If Mixed with Sulphur It Darkens 1 So Naturally Nobody - Ik Can Tell The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grandmoth er’s recipe, and folks are again using it to keep' their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are liv ing in an age when a youthful appear ance is of the greatest advantage. Nowadays, though, we don’t have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod uct, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound.” It is very popu lar because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the .gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applica tions, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive.
