Sound Doctrine.
t Lexington Dispatch.
| It appears to us to be sound doc
| trine that Lawyer J. R. McCrary has
been preaching at the home folks
J since a trip to Florida. Indeed there
seems to be nothing in the way of the
rapid advancement of Lexington but
its own folks, its own potential indus
trial leaders who have simply failed
to steam up and put the power that
is within them at work.
Rut the situation is hopeful. There
are a number of Lexington men who
. are preaching the same sort, of gos
pel. And more than that, we be
lieve that some of them are determin
; ed to start some things here right
, away. The sooner that determination
gets ; nto action the better for them
and for the community,
p Let it be remembered that the ad
s vantages that are making Florida to
day have lain there always. Life just
flowered along smoothly and all seem
ed well, until a few wide awake folks
began talking and backing their talk

about it.

IN AND ABOUT THE CITY
IMULUiU KiMF CHECKED
BUT FEW DEATHS OCCUR
Reports Indicate That Many Now
Case* of Disease Ara Developing
Dolly to City.
Influenza continues its relentless
march into the homes of Concord.
Gaining momentum with . each suc
ceediag week the disease toe allowed
low hemes in the city to escape its’
touch, often claiming as victims ev
ery members of a household. Through
out the county the disease is rampant
also, showing no regard for race or
color and refusing to pass any pros
pects regardless of his or her finan
cial status.
While the number of cases -
ncreased by the dozens within the past
ten days there has been *® Increase
in the number nf deaths in Concord.
This is undeniable proof that-the dis
ease lacks something of the element
of fatality that characterised Ita ap
pearance in 1918. A few deaths from
“pneumonia following inftuenna” have
been reported but the total has been
no greater or at the worst hut little
greater than the number usually re
ported at this season of the year.
School children have been excellent
targets for the “fin” this year but so
far as is known there has not been
a fatality among them. Some teach
ers in the schools here report as many
as fifteen pupils absent at the same
time, and if reports are to be ac
cepted in NT. not a single class room
has esc. i the ravages of the dis
ease.
There seem to la- two varieties <f
the disease this year, one Kiat hangs
on with the tenacity of .the bull dog
and the other that dees its work with
in the space of 48 hours. One brand
is as contagious as tiie other, say
physiciaus, who are not agreed that
there is any difference in the disease.
The difference, they say, lies with the
r - tient. Some people just natural
ly throw off disqase better than oth
ers. and for this reason they are able
to get rid of the “ffb” effects better
than another person.
It is said the disease has caused
serious concern to housewives whose
cooks have been stricken. Family
•harmony has been threatened after a
stay of several days in the kitchen
by the wife who prefers to spend her
time in-some other manner. In the
colored sections of the city flic dis
ease has been no more prevalvuf.
however, than in districts inhabited
strictly by white persons. The dis
ease has fotind its way into the home
of the pauper and millionaire alike, •
it being one malady that is rot
prompted by poverty.
At present there is no sign that the
(disease has run its .course, -jrot the
public is hoping that the effefts will
be no mor| deadly iu the future than
in the pasty ♦ *

FOWL GREETED AS ROBIN
SNOWBIRD IN DISGUISE
Full-Fledged Member of Robin Fam
ily 'Could Not Haw Made Sack
Mistakes in Weather.
The fowl greeted here two week*
ago as a robin and acclaimed as a
harbinger of spring, must have been
a snowbird in disguise. . ,
Certainly it was not a full-fledged
member of the robin family, given
with full powers to detect changes
in the seasons before the riianges oc
cur. If it were a robin then its
sense of detection has been frozen by
the low temperatures prevailing since
its fiwit appearance'weeks ago.
The weather today is suited to
arctic fowls, for an inch of snow cov
ers the ground, the result of a snow
storm which started about 4 o’clock
tiiis morning and continued without
interruption for several hours Late
risers in the city found a white cov
ering for the earth, with only here
and there in protected places any
green sign of spring.
Even the weather prophets were
fooled this time for nowhere was
there prophesy of snow. Rain was
predicted, and rain came, but it gave
way during the night to fleecy flakes
that made for themselves bv sheer
coldness of nature, a resting place on
the warm, damp earth.
Rain began falling before midnight
and continued Until about 4 o’clock,
say night police officers who were on
the job last night. The show first
began in tiny flakes that could hard
ly be distinguished from the rain.
Gradually the rain diminished and
the size of the flakes increased. By
5:30 the ground was partially cloaked
with its winter garb and an hour
later there was a whiteness on all
the earth.
At 6:30 the flakes had grown to
“man-size’’ proportions and in this
shaue they fell without interruption
for several hours, driving away any
belated bel'ef that the snow was not
going to amount to anything.
Reports from other cities- and
towns in this section of the state in
dicate that the snow is general, with
the fall about the same in all locnli
tiee.
Letter From R. F. Sides, of the U

Mr. Editor: x
r- I haven't missed a copy of “The
Daily Tribune” for some time. Though
far away. I'm always interested in
the growth sod prosperity of the home
(own. It seems to be going straight
up the ladder, slow but sure. Nc
one is more proud than. I.
I’ve been especially interested ov
er the discussion, selecting a name for
our new hotel. Seems like every
one has 'a name to offer, which none
to date has been chosen. I was glad
to see “The Stephen Cabarrus” sug
gbsted. t I think it would be appro
priate. Evfiry city eaa have a bote’
named for it (the city) while there's
only one that has a Stephen Cabar
rus. and that could be none other than
Com>ord. Who has a better right? I
Some of the leading hotels of the
United States are named for their
city’s particular pioneer. Chicago
has its “Hotel Morrison”, New York
its "Vanderbilt", Philadelphia its
"Benjamin Franklin". Greensboro its
•"O. Henry” and why not Concord
"The Stephen Cabarrus”? The name
itself suggests ail up to date hostelry.
I’m sure Concord would have nothing
else. "Hotel Concord" would seem
rather common. The visitor might
be under the impression that it was
some second rate place, while the
former strikes all doubt away.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
have, my moral support.
An interested party,

A clergyman who yyas a widower
had three grown-up daughters. Hav
ing occasion to go away for a few
weak*, he wrote home from time to
time. In one of his letters he in
formed them that he had married a
widow with six children.
This created a stir in his household.
When the minister returned home,
one of the daughters said, very anx
iously :
"Where’s the widow y<Ju married,
father?”
“Oil. I married her to another man.
I ought to have told you that.”
The teacher was trying to-impress
upon her pupils the importance of
doing right at all times, and to bring
out the answer. "Bad habits*’, she
inquired, “What is it that we find so
easy to get iuto and so hard to get
ut of?”
There was a silence for a moment,
then one little fellow answered,
