WALLACE DID NOT lA'AVE
WILL FOR.GREAT ESTATE
One of Mecklenburg’s Largest Land
ed Estates to Be Handed by Ad
ministrator.
Charlotte Observer.
The estate of former Sheriff N. W.
Wallace, who died suddenly while
visiting in Lincoln county Saturday,
the 12, has Hot yet come up for ad
ministration under court auspices.
It !r thought by relatives and friends
wHo knew the sheriff's attitude to
ward Inch matters that he did not
make a will. No such document has
been found, it is said.
The sheriff was said to be one of
the largest if not the largest real
pstate owner in Mecklenburg county.
He has rural holdings in practically
all townships, an acreage of about
I. His city holdings include 23
houses and lots and three vacant
lots, according to the tax books.
The sheriff, himself, is said to
have been unaware of his exact worth.
His estate is estimated to be consid
erably in excess of a quarter of a mil
lion dollars.
The venerable sheriff is survived
by eight children, four girlß and four
beys. Members of thf family said
yesterday that the heirs will have a
conference after a few days and ap
point an administrator.

the present season and the low tem

Many sorts of weather were offered
Tuesday. Rain fell during the rnorn
'ing. the sun shone during the early

then at night a million stars and a
brilliant moon gave signs that the
wet Weather Was over.
Temperatures began falling during
the afternoon when a stiff wind
sprang up. Heavy ice was reported
in ail parts of the city this morning
and low temperatures have prevailed
throughout the day.
When sleet began falling Tuesday
afternoon many youngsters shouted
with joy in the belief that the sleet
was a forerunner to a “white Christ
mas” from the weather man. However,
the icy precipitation continued for
ohly a brief spell and the stars and
moon gave no signs that snow qr
sleet would be the portion on
Christmas.
Following the rains of the past
several days, the low temperatures
and clear skies were joyously received
by local merchants. Business has
been good despite the rain hut mer
chants know cold weather and clear

business.
WANT BUTLER IN MARINE
CORPS NOT At PHILADELPHIA
Resigned Brigadier General Urged to
Return.—Embarrassing Position.
Washington, Dec, 22.—Efforts to
keep Brigadier General Smedllty D.
Butler in the marine corps began
here today as soon as news was re
ceived from Philadelphia that he had
announced his intention to resign. .
The resignation had not been re
ceived when the government offices
closed for the day, but without wait
ing for it, Major General John A.
Lejeune. commander of the crops, got
in touch with him~by telephone nnd
asked him to come here for a con
ference.
Philadelphia, Dec. 22.—Brigadier
General Butler has been asked to re
sign as director of public safety, but
he refuses to quit. The resignation,
asked for by Mayor Kendrick, is ef
fective, December 31st. but the gpneral
will be relieved of his duties,at noon
tomorrow.
This startling development in the
municipal government of Uhiladelp-
Uhra came ns the result of a series
of dramatic incidents during the day
in which Generla Butler had/ an
nounced bis resignation from the ma
rine corps to remain director of pub
lic safety and Mayor Kendrick, in
turn, had refused to permit him to
continue in that position "as a re
signed officer.”
The mayor had a stormy interview
With General Butler in the forenoon
director that he should have in
formed him of his intention to resign
from the marine corps.
The mayor also told him that he
did not want, him in his cabinet “at
a resigned officer because he did nor
want any other action misunderstood
by President Coolidge,” who had re
fused a further leave of absence to
the general.
“If the mayor fires me. I’ll be
nothing after January Ist,” the gen
eral said. “I’ll be neither a marine
nor a policeman. But I can still spit
in their eyea.”
President Coolidge Greets Boys and
Girls of the Nation.
Washington, Dec." 23. —President
Coolidge has sent the.following Christ
mas greeting to boys and girls of the
nation:
To the Boy Scouts, the Lone Seonts
and the 4-H Clubs:
“As you are representatives of the
organisations of boys and girls of
America, who live in or are inter
ested in the open country with which
I pome into official relation, I want
to extend to all of you a Christmas
greeting. It seems a very short time
ago that I was a boy and in the midst
of farm life myself, helping to do
the chores at the farm, working in
the eorn and potato fields, getting in
the hay. and in the springtime doing
what most of you have never nad nil
opportunity to see—making maple
sugar.
“I did not have any thance to profit
by joining a scout organization or a
4-H Club. That chance ought to be
a great help to the boys and girls of
the present day. It brings them into
association with each other in away
where they learn to think not oily
of themselves, but of other iieople.
It teaches them to be unselfish. It
trains them to obedience and gives
them self-control.
“A Very wise man gave up this
motto, ‘Do the duty that lies nearest
you.’ It seems to me that this Is
the plan of all your organizations.
We need never fear that we shall not
be called on to do great things in file
future if we do small things well at
present.
“It is the boys and girls who work
hard at home who are sure to make
the best record when they go away
from home. It is the boys and girls
who stand well up towards the head
of the class nt school that will be
called on to hold the Important places
ih political and business life when
they go out into the world. .
"There is a time for play as well
ÜB|a time for work. But even in play
it tts possible to cultivate the art of
well-doing. Games are useful to train |
the eye, the hand and the muscle and
bring the body more completey under]
the control of the mind. When this
Is done, instted of being a waste of
time play becomes a means of educa
tion.
“It is in all these ways that boys
and girls are learning to be men and
women, to’.be their par,;
cuts, to be patriotic to their country
and to be reverent to God.' It is.
because of the great chance that Amer
ican boys and girls have in all these
directions that to them more thau to
the youth Oh any other country there
should be a merry Christmas.”

CONCORD Y TEAM TO h
PLAY STRONG TEAMS
Holiday Games Promise to Be Inter
esting W ith Wake Forest, Lenoir-
Rhyne and High Point Here.
CoUeord people will have oppor
tunity during the Christmas Season of
seeing some of the best basketball
games that have been scheduled for
this city in the past five years.
In addition to the game with White
Oak Y from Greensboro tonight, three
games of importance will be played
during the remainder of the holidays.
Wake Forest is to play here on the
30th of December, High Po)nt Y plays
in the city on the 31st and Lenoir-
Rhyne comes for a game on the 2nd
of January.
The squad of players for these games
wilt include the regular first string
players—Dick. Lineberger. Easley.
Wolff, Harris and McLaughlin. Clar
ence Ridenhour. n member of the
squad at N. C. State. John Cook. Tom
Coltrane gild Ed. Morrison will form
the reinforcements.
Wake Forest is- considered the
strongest of the teams which' will
come to the city. Although Coach
Gharrity has announced that he has
only three or four of last year’s regu
lars out this yeur, it is certain that
he will hnve one of the best teams in
North Carolina. He has a number of
freshmen, including the famous Chack
les. who ..will be prominent in\ state
basketball.
Leno'r-Rhyne has a very strong
team this year. Coach Guriev /having
most of his last year's string back
and in addition to this, having a
number otnew players. High Point Y
lias already given the locals a set
back in a game and a determined ef
fort will be made to even the series.

POST OFFICE MAKES
RECORD ON TUESDAY
Twenty-one Thousand Pieces of Mail
Were Cancelled.—Force Hushed to
Complete Work.
The Concord post office ts a busy
place these days. No nee hive could
be more industrious. AVhat with sell
ing stamps for Christmas cards,
weighing packages, assorting mail to
go out and coming in, the employees
have just about all they can do.
Tuesday has the record thus far as
being the very busiest of rush days
since the post office was begun here.
Nearly every one seemed to want to
send their friends some sor* of re
membrance. A total of 21.000 can
cellations were mafic, as opposed to
17,000 cancellations made on the hug
est day one day before
Christmas last year.
It is thought Tuesday will retain
it's hold on top position. It is un
likely, according to Postmaster Wi
ll- Ward, that today or Thursday will
have as many cancellations as Tues
day.
With all this extra work, fivetimes
the normnl business, said Mr. Ward,
the same force of workers is handling
the mail. It necessitates their doing
hard labor from early morning until
late at night and by the time Christ/
mas day comes, with its holiday, the
force will have earned a rest.
Mr. }Vard also ismied a warning.
People who wished their cards and
packages to get to their destinatious
before Christmas day had better mail
them today. Otherwise, it is likely
that they will not get out until after
Christmas. Even cards mailed for
delivery in Concord Thursday stand a
chance of being held up on account
of the rush the day before the holi
day.
'Christmas Music.
There will be given in Forest Hill
Methodist Church, Christmas night, a
Christmas cantata. This program of
music promises to be fine. It is to
be rendered by a large choir. I’rof.
Doyle has been giving much time in
getting this unusual program worked
up. We feel that you shall thoroughly
enjrty it if you can be present.
The services will stnvt at 7:30
Christmas night. X.

Howard Cook Kendrick.
Howard Cook Kendrick, son of
Mrs. W. A. Kendrick, was - born Sep
tember 25, 1923. and died December
21st, being permitted to live in this
world ’only two years, two months
and 2(1 days. Howard was a bright
child, the center of love and devotion
in the home and a favorite with all
Who knew him. His death has east
sadness not alone in the home but in
the whole community and the sympa
thy of the whole community goes out
to the mother and the three remain
ing children. Why he was taken is
a mystery. But God chose to take
the jewel of the home that it might
shine the brighter-, in the* “house of
many mansions.” After appropriate
services, conducted in the home at 11
o’clock yesterday by Rev. M. L. Kes
ter and Rev. L. A. Thomas, the little
body was laid to rest in Oakwood
cemetery to wait the resurrection
morning. x.
