FIRST DEATH OF
KIND IN COUNTY
Records Fail to Show An
other Death From Ra
bies in County—Funeral
Services Sunday.
Buford B. Daves, Jr., 3-vear-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Daves, of
Kannapolis, died in th<» Concord Hos
pital here Friday night of a disease
described by attending physicians as
rabies. He had been ill since Tues
day.
So far as is known this is the first
death from rabies in the history of
Cabarrus county.
The child first complained of feel
ing ill Tuesday night itfter making a
trip with his father, who operates
a store between Concord and Knnnup
olis, to the lower part of the county,
i’pon their return home the child
told his parent* he had a headache
and later his condition became so
much worse that a physician was call
ed. Symptoms of hydrophobia had
not developed in an acute stage at
that time, it is said.
When the boy failed to rally dur
ing Wednesday and Thursday he was
brought to the Concord Hospital Fri
day morning and physicians who ex
amined him there diagnosed the case
as rabies. His condition became crit
ical during the afternoon and death
came shortly after 8 o'clock Friday
night.
Mr. and Mrs. Daves did not know
the child had been bitten by a dog, it
is said, as he told them of no such
occurrence. An examination of his
body disclosed no sore, it is also re
ported. although there was a scratch
on one hand. It Is the opinion of rel
atives that a dog suffering with rabies
licked the sore, the germs thus pene
trating through the child's system.
Although several dogs are kept on
the Daves premises noue of these
have shown any symptoms of hydro
phobia, it is said, and relatives are at
a loss to know from wbat dog the
child contracted the fatal malady.
The death of the youngster cast a
pall of gloom over Kannapolis where
his parents are well known. De
scribed as an unusually bright and
lovable little fellow the chid had
won himself into the hearts of hun
dreds of persons with whom he came
in contact at his father's store at
Midway, and many messages of sym
pathy have been expressed for the be
reaved parents.
Funeral arrangements had not been
perfected this afternoon but it was
stated that the services probably will
be held at the Kannapolis Baptist
Church tomorrow afternoon at two
o’clock.
In addition to his parents, the child
is survived by six brothers and sis
ters.
The death of the child has aroused
the city and county against dogs
which are not vaccinated against ra
bies and are allowed to roam at large.
Coming as it did just when the city
is in the midst of a campaign against
such dogs, the untimely death of the
boy is expected to incite the citizens
to greater efforts in their work of rid
ding the city and county of worth
less,, dangerous curs.
Thinks Busses Do Not Speed.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh. .Tune s.—Very few if any
<of the complaints that are heard from
[ime to time that the busses of the
rarious bus companies travel at too
fast a speed on the highways can be
perilled, according to R. Otis Self,
secretary of the State Corporation:
Commission, who is in charge of the
>us division. Such careful check is
kept that there is little opportunity
for the driver of any bus to exceed
the speed limits and violate other
regulations without being detected
and subsequently dismissed, Mr. Self
said.
Busses operating in the state are
routed on the schedule of 28 miles an
hour, with an extra leeway of approx
imately fifteen minutes for each hour
on the road to allow for stops and
pike-ups. The driver of any bus
must explain if he arrives at any
statiou more than ten minutes ahead
of ttis schedule, and all such instances
are reporter! to the commission.

Decision For Several Days.
Tribune Bureau,
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, June s.—Although argu
ment on the suit brought by several 1
Virginia tobaeco growers seeking a I
receivership for the Tobacco Grow-1
era Cooperative Association has
been completed, finnl decision in the
case will not be handed down for
several days, Judge I suae M. Meekins
announced at the conclusion of the
argument Friday afternoon. Colonel
E. I*. Buford had just consumed
some three and a half hours in argu
ing for a receivership. Judge Meekins
said that he would decide the case
“one way or the other” but that he
wanted an opportunity to recover
from the long siege of argument
which has extended over a period of
three days.
In his argument. Colonel Buford
urged that the members of the as
sociation be relieved from the obliga
tion to deliver tobacco for the 1920
crop and the undelivered portion of
the 1925 crop, insisting that the
members should have the protection
of the arm of the court in the form
of a receivership. He concluded his
appeal by insisting that if a receiver
should not be appointed, the court
should at any rate name a represen
tative to serve on the executive com
mittee and also have an accountant
from time to time investigate the
condition for the association and re

Only One Death at Prison Farm.
Tribune Bureau
Bir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, June 5. —Within a period
of more than four years, there has
been but one death from sickness at
Caledonia prison farm, the records
show.
“The population at the farm aver
ages about 500 the year round,” one
of the prison officials pointed out, and
called attention to the fact that very
few towns or villages of the same
population had suili a good record for
healthful conditions. It was also
pointed out that iti this same period
of more than four years, there had
been no cases of malaria.
The care with which the sanitary
conditions of the farm are watched
and the measures taken to prevent
disease-breeding conditions are large
ly responsible for this excellent rec
ord, it was [minted out.

Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, June 5.—A decidedly
lighter vote than had been anticipat

their fields planting tobacco.
Heretofore it has been so dry that
only a small part of the tobacco has
been set out and this Is the first op
portunity that has been given to set

SCIENTIST WHO DENTES

CROP CONDITION REPORTS
ARE NOT ENCOURAGING
Dry Weather For Another 30 Day;-
Will Play Havoc With the' Stat<
Crops.
Tribune Raleigh Bureau,
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, June 5. —Reports on crop
conditions from various sections of
the State are anything but encourag
ing. and many farmers say that if the
dry weather continues for another
30 days, their crops will be a complete
loss, according to letters being re
ceived by the Department of Agricul
ture. here.
Grass and pastures are already fail
ing rapidly, writes one farmer in the
northwestern section of the State,
and if the dry weather continue many
more days, the hay crop will be a
•omplete failure. Tobacco plants are
drying up in the beds, and where
they have been transplanted, even
with watering, they are rapidly dying,
hie to the dry weather.
Some farmers estimate that farm
crops in general are 30 days behind
the condition they should be in at
this time of year and many take a
j very pessimistic attitude. Out of
some 30 letters received, today. 21 re
ported that it had been “extremely
dry for two months" and that the
season was unusually late, cold and
dry. Several said that it was the!
“dryest ever known in this section for!
this time of year." All of these re
ports were from the north western!
aml_4iorth central sections of the j
State.
Pastures have been nearly burned 1
up by the drought and a great many
of the farmers report that they are
having to feed their dairy cows, al
though this is the season of the year
when pastures should be at their
best. Early clover is also reported as
doing very poorly, while small streams
are. drying up jn many localities.
Gardens have proved a failure almost
everywhere, they report.
Wheat and other small grain, how
ever, seem to be doing very well, al
though the stands are much shorter
than usual and oats are not quite up
to standard. A few good rains in the
next week or two, would do much,
however, to relieve the situation and
change the whole crop outlook.
