The story by 1 Air. Edmonds was writteu at the request « of the Baltimore News, and sets forth an ' array of facts and figures "that are enough to make any South-loving patriot ' throw out his chest in worrhy and justi- > fiable pride." to quote from The Char- t lotte News. ( In nearly all lines of human progress, 1 material and educational. Mr. Edmonds wrote, the South today with 30.000.000 ; inhabitants, including in this estimate i Missouri and Oklahoma, is far and away > ahead of the United States in ISRO with ,>0.000.000 population. In many respects the South of today is in advance of the * United States in 1000. and iu some re- ! spects as late ns 1010. The South today [ has $4,000,000,000 more Capital invested l in manufacturing than the United States ) had in IKSO. Its capital invested iu its - cotton mills is five times as great as the ' capital so invested iu the entire country f in 18X0. ‘ !j The production of coal in the South j last year was more than twice as great I as the total production of coal in the United States in 1880. The value of the South's agricultural products last year was $5.25)1.000,000. as coiiqiared with $2,212.(8)0.000. the total . value of agricultural products of the , United States in 1880. I The South's railroad mileage is almost I exactly that of the United States in 1880, and the value of its exports last year ex ceeded by $500,000,000 the total exports t of the United States in 1880. Upon public school education the South expended in 15)20 over $204,000,- 000. as comimred with $78,000,000, the total amount expended by the United States upon public school education in 1880. Southern insurance companies had in force in the South in 15121 over $1,744,- 000,000 of life insurance, or an iuerease of (i. 355) per cent, over 15)04. The value of farm property in the South quadrupled between 1000 and 1020. ris ing from $5,202,000,000 in 1000 to $21,- 685.000,000 in 1020. The value of farm buildings in the South during the same Period rose from $.855,000,000 to $3,277.- 1)00.000, while the value of farm imple ments and machinery in the South rose from $206,000,000 in 15)00 to $5)02.000,- 000 in 15)20. In 1920 the South had $1i>3.000,000 more invested iu agricul tural implements and machinery than the United States Imd in 1900. The total deposits in all the banks of the South in 1900 amounted to $681,000,- 000. In 1922 these deposits aggregated $6,273,000,000. The, resources of nat ional banks in the South rose from $706.- 000,000 in 1900 to $4,083,000,000 in 1922. The total value of the cotton crops for the last 10 years was $12,975,000,000. or $7,440,000,000 in excess of the total val ue of the gold and silver produced in the world iu the same period. All the gold' produced in the world since the discov ery of America up to and including 1921 aggregated $18,430,000.00. During the 22 years froq» 1900 to 1921 the aggregate value of the South’s cotton crop amount ed to $21,175,000,000. or $2,745,000,000 more than the aggregate value of all the gold produced in the world since 1492. As late as 189 ft the total value of man ufactured products in the United States was $11,406,000,000. while in 1019 the value of the South’s manufactured prod ucts. was $9,805,000,000, showing less than $2,000,000,000 short of the total for the United States in 1800. The capital invested in manufacturing in the South is now nearly three times a , 1 great as that invested in manufacturin | in the United States in 1880, and th ’ 'value of the products is nearly twice a great. In 1880 the United States bad S2OB, i 000,000 invested in cotton mills, whiie th' South has over $1,000,000,000 thus in vested. - DAVIDSON COLLEGE - BOYS IN FIRST SCRIMMAGE SATI'RDAI Monk Younger and Tilson Working Han to Whip Wildcats Into Shape For tlx Initial Battle of the Fall. Davidson, Sept. 15.—Coach Younger in a hard scrimmage this afternoon, m the Wildcats against the Kittens in ai effort to select the men who will repre sent Davidson in the Elon game next Sat urday. The Elon game marks a new era iu IJavidson athletics, since it is th« first contest under Coaches Younger and Tilson. and will be played on the new $30,000 athletic field. As the opening game of the season, the game with the Christians is of import ance because it will give a line on the stfeugtli of the 15)23 Reel ami Black machine. Davidson. fhlloxve-its bWieve that the Wildcat's claws are again sharpened and that the coming season will wipe out the string of ■ last- year\ defeats. The Elon team is an unknown quantity this season, but the Wildcats wilt not be overconfident and the new field will be christened with a real fight. Last seasosn the Wildcats expected a runaway over the Christians, but were forced to content themselves with a 24-0 score. The year before, the Wildcats re turned a 47-0 score but in football tile scores of previous years meant nothing. The road between Davidson and Char lotte is in first class condition, and the management is expecting a large crowd from l Charlotte to look the Wildcats over. The spectators will see the Wildcats under a different style of coaching which will vary the play of previous seasons. As usual the Red and Black team is light, averaging less than 160 pounds. The team, however, is fast > and speedy, well coached in line-plunging as well as in open plays. Eight letter men. four in the back field .and four in the line, form the nucleus about which Monk Younger and Tex Tilson are building their team. Captain Faisou and Nappy Davis are back in their old positions on the flanks, displaying their Usual bril liance both in offense and defense. Ma son Fields is back iu the pivot position Dud Cox and another forward is back. At the tackle positions Tilson has four good men : Lindamood, Summers. An derson and IJodgin. Lindamood and Summers have the call at present but the other two are giving them a ireal scrap for their berths. McAuley ami Vance are the most likely candidates for the guard positions. Tom Baker, captain of last year's fresebman team, is showing* great promise at end. In the back-field. Monk has dim Hen drix at quarter. Popsy Hunt at full, and Doc DeArmon, of Charlotte, and Gig Shepherd at half. All these are letter men. Black and Buck are pushing them closely. Black's specialty is line-phnig ing, while Buck has shown some skill as a broken field runner. It is still doubt ful what the Wildcat lineup will be Saturday, bnt all the above men will probably get a chance to show their stuff against the Christians. The freshman team this year is also light, but Coach Rawsou lias four full elevens from which to select his team. Sapp, of Winston-Salem; Hewlett, cap tain of the Wilmington high school team last season, and Goody kuutz, of Blue field. W. Vn„ are the class of the backs. Brand of McCallie and Groover of Thomasville. Ga.. are also showing up well. Lincoln, of. Marion, Va.: Green of New Mexico Military Academy: Hud gins. of Bluefield, W. Ya.: Yaruadoe. of Thomasville. Ga.; Wharton, of Smith field, and Bohannon and McConnell, of Davidson are the most likely forwards.

Early Concord The story has often been told of how . Stephen Cabarrus persuaded our hard t headed Scotch-Irish people and the stur dy Germans of Eastern Cabarrus to agree ujion a town site, and how. the county seat was named Concord in cel ebration of the, harmonious adjustment of the difficulty. 'But no one has told 1 the story of the laying out of the town j site. , The General Assembly of 1795 author ized John Means. James Scott and Leon ard Burbrick to act as Commissioners of J Public Buildiugs for the new county. On , February 4. 1766. they purchased 26 . acres from Samuel Huie. and on April 18, 1796. we find these Commissioners . conveying certain lots in the town of , Concord to a number of citizens. The I I 26 acres platted and laid off into lots was about 800 feet wide exclusive of Un ion street and about 1320 feet long exclus ive of Corbin street. The Court House was built in the middle of the inter section of Union and Corbin streets, and was built of logs and upon stilts or log sup]K>rts high enough for people to ride underneath the building. We find that taking Union street anil Corbin street as they now run. tile town was laid off into what they called the North East Sqnare. the Sbuth East- Square, the j North West Square and the South West | Square, although so-called squares were 1 in fact parallellograms 400 feet by 660: feet. The North East Square iucluded the part of present city now running up North Union strebt 660 feet front Corbin j street at Allison's corner, and running out East Corbin street 400 feet. With-. out attempting accurate measurement we ' may say that the North East Equate-! stopped at the town line somewhere be-■ tween the old Prifer building and the! Dove and Bost store and cornered on ! j Church street near the marble yard, and thence with the towu line down Church , street to Corbin street. This square was | laid off in 11 lots, every oue of which ! was sold oil April IS. 1796. Lots 1,2, 3. ! 4. 5, 6. and 7 fronted on Union street: . Lot 7 ran through 392 feet and theu ex tended back down in roar of Lot 5 and 6. Lots 8 and 5) were on this rear street ‘ unnamed, but later called Church street ! when the first Methodist Church was . built thereon near the present cotton l platform lot. Lot 10 was on the corner of. Church l and Corbin. Is>t 11 in the middle of block on Corbin, with Lot. 1 extending 133 feet on Corbin and 105 feet on Un ion. This lot No. 1 was bought by Sam uel Huie. The first owners of these lots may be of some historical interest, hence 1 shall give them: Las No. 2. begiuuing 105 feet from Al lison's corner and runs North 82 1-2 feet, thence 204 feet deep, was purchased by Henry Furrer (doubtless an ancestor of tile numerous Furr family of our day). Lot No. 51. 247 feet from Allison's corner, and running thence with Union street 82 1-2 feet, being a part of tile Court House lot next Menus street, was purchased by James Scott. Lot No. 4 was bought by Philip Kress (Cress). Lot No. 5 was bought by Frederick ; M flier. Lot No. 0 was bought by Samuel Fer guson. j Lot No. 7 was purchased by George - Harris. Lots Nos. 8 aml 9 were bought by Ilyu hold Abenshine. I-Ot No. 10 was bought by Geo. Mas to»>. j Tlie South East Square extended down 1 South Union street 060 feet and out East Corbin 400 feet. A visit to this part of the town will cause you to doubt the wisdom of the Commissioners in laying off into lots land so hilly as to be still unavailable. Doubtless you will be amazed to learn that iu spite of the un favorable topography, all of these lots Were sold the very first day they were open to sale, except Lots 2 and 3 on Un ion street which commenced 165 teet south of Corbin, and Lots 0 and 7 ex- | treme lower end of town down South Union, that is to say about 500 to 060 feet from Corbin street. Lot 8 which lay in the deep ravine in rear of Lots 5 ( and 6. was also unsold. The other lots in South East Square were Lot No. 1, fronting 133 feet on Corbin and running down South Union 105 feet sold to Rob- | ert Smith, fait 11. fronting 1513 feet oil Corbin and 105 feet deep was sold to Joshua Bradley. The corner Lot 10, fronting 133 feet on Corbin and 105 feet deep was bought by Charles Harris. The strangest fact of all is that la>t No. 9. lying 105 feet south of Corbiu and 247 feet East of I'uion was purchased by Da vid Carlock on April 18. 1790. Lot 4on South Union 330 feet from Corbin was sold to John Shaver and the lot next be low to Richard Fonublc. The North \YesU Square extended up North Uuion street 000 feet and theu ran at right angles 400 feet to a store in Huie's line North of u Rocky Spring, thence with Huie's line a line parallel Vitli Union street dow-i to Tor bin street anti theu up Corbin to the corner. Here again we are unable to understand why some of the purchasers riipse such unde sirable lots. For example, who can sur mise-what was iu the mind S>f John | THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE • Means, one of the commissioners, when • the only lot he bought in the entire town was Lot No. 9, which was 165 feet from 1 Corbin and 246 feet from Union street.: All the lots in this square were sold on April 18, 1796, except Lots 4 and 7 fronting on Union street, although Lot 7 ran down into the hollow near the rocky spring. This spring was in the line of the present storm sewer of the city in rear of the First i’resbyterian Church. Lot No. 4 vhag not sold. Samuel Huie not content with owning all of the Allison property, also purchas ed the property opposite. Lot No. 1. ex tending 132 feet on Corbin aud 165 feet on Union street. Hector MrCnchran bought Lot 2 on Union now owned by Mon-is Realty Company. Lot 51 ou Ut.- ion street beginning 247 feet from Cor bin was bought by John Ba'rringer. Lot 5 was bought by Henry l’iott. I.ot 6 »iw bought by Geo. Masters. Lot 5) term bought by Francis Ross. la>t 10 on Corbin by Thos. Maxwell and John Simla tier, first Register of Deeds, bought Lot No. 11. now owned by Mrs. J no. M. Cook. The South Wes: Square covered the property withip the following lines. Run ning down West, Corbin 400 feet thence | across to South Cnion street 400 feet. I Strange to say, that Lot 1, where the | i Lutheran Church stands, was not sold. |aml it was. doubtless, resetved for sale by the commissioners as the site for a prospective erturt house. This must be i tine although the Court House was later 1 located on the Runnel Huie Is>t No. 1. j across the street. There are no records , to show whether Samuel Huie exchanged , lots with the county or sold to others. \ Leonard Barbrick. one of the Commis sioners after whom Barbrick street was named, bought the middle lot oh Corbin street, which is now owned by Mr. Thos. ill. Webb. Silas Shinn bought the cor ner lot below, near present corner of Corbin and Spring Lot No. 2 was sold to John Furrer. Lit 3 to Adam Cauble. Lot 4 to Wallace Spears, Lot 5 unsold, I.ot 6 sold to Ji’m. M<-Kiiiglit and Lot 7 which was last lot next to town boundar ies and lmd .10 feet on Union and ex tended back to Huie line and also lay ing rear of Lots 5 aud (1, was bought by Michael Wiuekhuf. Stephen Hadley bought Lot 9 which law 165 feet from Corbin aud 247 from Union street. This is the chronicle of the first and most suc cessful lot sale ever pulled off in Concord. it is interesting lo note the number of Scotch-Irish names as compared with the German purchasers. Among the list of Scotch-Irish purchasers we find Huie, Smith. Scott, Ferguson. Harris. Masters. Bradley. MeKhiglit. Spears. Hadley Max well. Ross. Means. McCaehran. Carlock. Among the <|ernuin purchasers wire Bar ringer. Kress, (lYinekauf. Goodman, Fur rer, Abenshine, Miller. Cauble. Shinn, i’lott. Shaver. Such was the beginning of what is now the City bf Concord with it's magnif icent buildings, with its corporate limits extending more than 12.000 feet in length, where formerly it was only 15120 feet in length and only MM) feet wide. Lo. the , 20 acres lias increased to 1920 acres. With all this progress and material growth , let us not despise these men of the pio ncer days. They wrought worthily ami well deserve our praise ami emulatiou. MORRISON 11. CALDWELL.

He went to Mr. Perkinsf, the proprietor of the hardware store, who : said to him, "Go out into the world aud when you find a man more homely than yourself, kill him!” The half-wit searched for nearly a year and one day approached a man aud said: “I've gotto kill you.” "Why do you have to kill me?” "Because you are homelier than me.” "Oh, am 17 Then kill me!” Hoax: "Bjones claims to be ait old sea dog.” Joax: ”1 suppose \that’s the reason he hates eatboats.” The widow may feel that she is look Rig out for nUmber-one when she is look ing out for number two. The Cynical Bachelor observes that a man never realizes how. unimportant he is till he attends his own wedding. "All the world’s a stage." quoted the Wise Guy. ',And most of ns want to be the stage manager,” replied the Sim ple Mug. It is as great an error to think ev ery bachelor has been disappointed in love ns to think every married man hasn't been. • "What we waut is a story tliat ends happily,'' said the publisher, rejecting the manuscript of the aspiring young author. “But my Jiero and beroine are married in the last chapter,” explained the auth or. "Exactly. What I said was that wo want a story that ends happily,” re iterated the publisher. Though those who fight ami run away May fear the foe. At any rate .they live to say: "I told you so.” George Kelly Hits S Homers hi Game. 1 Chicago. Sept. 17.—George Kelly of | the New Aork Nationals probably ostnb- i lished a baseball record today for home: 1 run hits consetgilively in succeeding ill-! ! nins when he made a home run in the, i third inning, another iu the fourth andj ] a third in the fifth in today's New York- ] Chicago game. According to old time: l baseball men and statisticians the feat! ] has never been acromplisluxl before, J ( The in-;irest to it. according to records ( of modern baseball, was in 15)24 when: Ken Williams of St. Louis hit three; i home runs in a game against tlie-Chi-j i engo Americans, Among the old time; ! records both Bobby Lowe of Boston ini i 185)4 and Ed Delhanty iu ISSHS made, ' four home runs in a game, but the ree-| ] ords do not show that these were made: eonsecutiely. and according to buselml' men. it is hihly improbable they were' made iu consecutive innings. It is often said that the Japanese] | never kiss. This is not quite true. I They do kiss occasionally in their own 1 homes, but never outside them.
