Representatives of seven civic, bus | in ess and religious organizations were present at a conference here several days ago at which plans for a board or organized charities were discuss ed. The spirit manifested at the meeting was fine, giving indications that such a board will be organized in Concord in the near future.

Monroe, Jan. 30.—Tom Harrell and Jonah Marsh, negroes, charged with the murder of Deputy George Faulk ner. of Anson county, were found guilty of murder in the second de gree by a Union county jury today, today. The case went to the jury yester day and verdict was brought in at 11 o’clock today. The case grew to be one of much interest. Because of the question which arouse, as to whether the depu ty was killed by one of fnese. negroes, or accidentally shot by Herbert Loyv-' ery, a fellow officer. At the first ballot the jjury stood seven for acquittal and five for mur der in the first degree. At the second ballote nine were for manslaughter and three for first de gree murder. The jury finally united on a verdict of second degree mur der. Judge A. M. Stack sentenced Jonah Marsh to 30 years in the State prison with hard work iu stripes. Tom Har rell drew not less than 10 years nor more than 15 years in stripes at hard labor in tiie penitentiary. Judge R. B. Redwine and W. B. Love, appoint ed by the court to defend the negroes, i made motion for a new trial imme diately. Tliis was u trying cpse for the jury to decide. If the negroes did kill Faulkner, it reasoned, they deserved the chair. If Lowery killed him. to electrocute them would be a tragedy. The prosecution satisfied the jury that the negroes had con spiged to kill Faulkner, aud were at least, responsible for his deatii, in directly. PRESIDENT PREDICTS ' ANOTHER CUT IN TAXES Renews Plea to Government Execu tives for Economy. Washington. Jan. 30. —Suggesting the possibility bf still another tax’re duction “within a few yiyirs,” Presi dent Coolidge tonight renewed his ! plea to government executives for I economy and efficiency under a gen- J eral program of "constructive econ omy.’’ Mr. Coolidge observed that too much economy might not be benefiei#: he chose rather to “make every dollar count” and to obtain the maximum of i results with moneys in hand. The! economy policy has done more than reduce the cost of government, tbe| President said, for he saw in it an | example to the world in administra- i tive effort. Speaking at the H«mi-aniiual bud get meeting of department aud bu reau heads, the chief executive re viewed accomplishments of the period since the first meeting of the “busi ness orgnnizati«n\ of the government in June, 1921, and declared that the 1 things done ill perfecting significance in implications.” He suggested, how ever, that the part played by this government in its own household and in world affairs would not be com plete unless it was '‘re-iuforced” by adhesion to the World Court. The President's exposition of what he believed should be tfie general pol icy in governmental affairs was sup plemented at some length by Director laird of the budget bureau, who de scribed an economy rod he plans to wield iu dealing with future -federal exp#rf life-isinMf.it ,iMp otjetoome that dreadful radJ|e«fcip*l \ trouble from. which, I, aufewd. xtufoW agonies ,»t times.

"Is that a threat, Michael?” sho laughed, easily. "No. my dear lady, surely not! All I .would say Is that I beg you to allow me the honor of visiting you, for I hare something interesting to say to ypu! ” In desperation, ho was now the supplicant. “Surely the other engagement can wait!" Dolores hesitated a moment, a struggle In her heart, for she knew that she still loved Michael and would rather see him for a few moments than see Paul for the entire evening. But she also realised that she bad struck Michael in a vital spot and' that she now held a trump card over him, to bend him to her will She was fully determined not to release that whip hand, for by it, sooner or later, she hoped to bring Michael back to her. Perhaps tnai was why he wished to see her. He was jealous of Paul! A wave of interest surged over her at the en trancing thought. “Very well, Michael,” she said, affecting the remote tones of r, queen though her voice trembled a little in spite of her attempts to steel it. “If you so ask,\l will seo you.

Tlie matter was settled: one way or another he would know just what was in Dolores’ mind One thing was sure, her friendship with Paul must cease at all costs; for Mirhael realized that Dolores’ physical charms and magnetism would reduce Paul to c’ay in her hands. If revenge, was In her mind Dolores exercised her feminine prerogative to be tardy, and Mich ael was on pins and needles when | she finally arrived. Dressed In 4 cerise ball gown, she seemed un usually beautiful this evening. Her sable coat had slipped from he; shoulders, and the alabaster white, ness of her neck and arms was like a taunting, hovering match to the hot powder of Michael’s very mas ‘cullne blood. . He kissed her band. “I have only a little time, Michael,” j*Colores murmured. "I have to be back at my apartment by nine." “Evidently the gentleman plead ed successfully with you not to break your engagement with hint for this evening. Os course. I can. not blame him.

"But how do you know that th}a particular gentleman is not an aged admirer?" she asked, a little angry with herself for having mentioned her engagement at all. "Because I happen to know he it my brother, Paul!” Michael's face became hard. "And it Is of him that I wish to speak. May I be per mltted to ask what your particulai object is in allowing' Paul to be. come a devoted admirer of yours?’ So this was all Michael wanted t« talk about? Dolores raged in ward' ly. He clid not want to speak oi her ... of their problem. No, that was all over—she had been forevo# dismissed. Michael now was look ing after his brother, trying to pro tect him. Ah. but she had the upper hand; and she would not release It. "May I ask.” she fenced, ’twhat your reason is foi\ becoming ko In quisitive about my movements?

"Remain Just a moment longer, please,” Michael said, “I- may as well Admit I would much prefer that yep have nothing to do with Paul.
