China Grove, Oct. 6. Master
Chester Sechler, while scuffling
with another boy, feU-and broke
both bones in his arm just below
his elbow.
Mr. Martin Shi ve, of Concord,
spent last night here.
The farmers around China
Grove have a different step now
from that of several weeks ago.
Abou1 the first thing they say
when you speak to one is: "Say,
old ooy, cotton will soon be eight
-its."
Mr. A L Cagle, who has been
carrying the mail in China Grove
township, has- resigned his posi
tion. He has been in the service
nearly two years. He will ac
cept a position with the Singer
Sewing Machine Co. under the
supervision of Mr. M L Black
welder of Concord.

THE BUSESS CLOSED.
The Broker's Exchange of K B Wilson
& Co. Closed Its Business Leaving!
Numbers of Concord's Men Due Con
siderable Amounts.
Three weeks ago the firm of R
Wilson & Co., of New York,
opened a broker's exchange here
and secured Mr. W G Boshamer
to havecharge of their business.
The business, which is gen
erally called a "bucket shop,"
has boen running three weeks.
A good amount of patronage has
been given it and several hun
dred dollars have bean made by
numbers of our people. . .
But the last markets came Fri
day evening. Mr. Boshamer re
ceived a telegram to discontinue
all business, and that all that's is
known about the affair. '
In case an assignment has been
made by the company and that
none of its debts will be paid it
means that some of our people
have jointly lost about $1500.
The last telegram received by
Mr. Boshamer stated that a letter
had been sent which will prob
ably explain the mattter partly.
This is the second exchange that
has. started here and left some of
our people wanting.
PERSONAL POINTERS
Kubiiiess In Western Cabarrus.
The Mooresville Record-Times
has the following of the business
being done in western Cabar
rus:
"Wall? op. & Gilbert, lumber
dealers oi Eastfield, Cabarrus
county, have, within the past
two weeks, put out 53,725 feet of
lumber for the Southern rail
roaa snops. rnis lumber was
taken from the stump, and was
l I '!- 1 n
vui ana snipped irom near

"J Robert Wallace, of Cabar

and in conversation with the
writer, stated that he made from
his own lands this vear 1,105 bu
wheat,-?i d sold 300 bushels of
socd wheat in one day at $1.00

DESTRUCTION'S FREE SHOW. ,
How the Car Company Gets Rid of Old
Cars.
.The Baltimore Sun gives a
most "interesting account of a
free show near Detroit, Mich.
It is the daily collision of fifty
trains, of antiquated cars by the
American Car and Foundry Co.
There is an accumulation of out-of-date
cars in which there is
some good material but the cost
of getting it out is ; a serious
drawback. A short way ha s
been fallen upon to build a
track crossing a deep declivity.
On every afternoon fifty trains,
loaded probably with rubbish
much like the eld cars, are, two
at a time, pushed on down this
incline to meet each other at the
rate of about 80 miles per hour.

They Continue Their Efforts.
Continually there are requests
made by the bestpatrons of the
line that anotliei train be put
on the Yadkin railroad, running
from Salisbury to Norwood. In
the last issue of the Stanly
Enterprise, Editor, Bivins makes
quite a plea for a change,
claiming that the employes now
have too much work to do, and
that the service needs improve

of such delavs on the road.

free play of the emotions.
There is a crash, a thud, a'
clang, a rearing up of cars upon
each other, the air beclouded
with fragments' of., matter only
to be broken up and jammed by
the bump of the next train.
When the fifty trains have been
thus tenderly dealt wifh the
show is oiTer for the day and the
torch applied. Next morning
the ashes are raked and the
material wanted is gotten out till
time for another afternoon's dis
play of destruction. The com

"pretty penny" if it did for it is

The money spent by travelers
to Europe every year is enor

even imperfect estimate that
over two hundred and thirty
million of dollars are spent an
