China Grove; Kf Feb;12, W How about that rock road lead ing -from .3hina . Grove- to Saw? -Think about it, talk about it,! get busy and let us hear from you. : Maybe we'll get to ride on? the electric railway some sweet: day in the near future, from China Grove to Salisbury! . ' ? We need a macadamized roai from here to saw. . ion never Saw what a great -helper, in business way, it would be toi our town. 'Hustler for it I . There are now nine young boys at the Jackson Training school near Concord. Worth Hatch. " the first student sent to that iustitu tion, we learn; has made good his escape and has gone to parts un known. Our readers can do us a great favor by sending any news items that will be of interest to the general public. We wish to make this a newsy paper, and with the co-operation of its readers on this line, we will be enabled to make it so. " . Our readers will please excuse the short comings of the local de partment of this issue of The Re cord; This has been moving-day with us, and, if you've ever mov ed your goods and chattels, - you know how clear a man's ideas run after spending several hours en gaged in hanging pictures, putting down carpet and putting up stove pipe, etc, etc. It's good brain food. Try it. We had a real, live show in the graded school building last Satur day night, given by a comedy company from somewhere in South Carolina. The company was greeted by "only a very small audience, as the "advance agent" neglected to properly advertise the day and date of the exhibition, and it came upon rur town un awares. ; Only a.very,few knew of its coming, . Since we have established our selves among the good people of this flourishing town, China Grcv our county has completed a good single-track macadamized road from here to Salisbury, a distance of something over nine miles. This road is of great advantage to the travel along the line, and we are glad that we have it. China Grove is a road center, and if her roads were kept in good condition theyNj would help, in a large measure, the up-building ; of the town, in crease the trade and enhance the valuation of her propertyi It would induce people in the rural districts to come here to market their produce and purchase their supplies who now go elsewhere on account of the fearful condition of the roads leading here, , in the fall and winter season. A good citizen, one of the leading business men of our town, informed us a few days ago, that, while trade is pretty fair here now,' it is not so good nor does it cover as much - territory as it did a few years ago. Only a few years past China Grove was the leading market place for that section of . the ipunty in wnich Saw is located. , Now quite number from that neighborhood go to other places to trade. It is trun, we have, now. several pro gressive farmers from that section who come and bring their families to trade, who go away well pleased wth the bargains they have, re ceived, but that is a small matter compared to what would come I if we had a good macadam road lead ing from here to Saw, a distance of only four . miles, which would give us an outlet for miles ip every direction. There is nothing that helps to build up a town quicker and more substantially than good roads leading to it. It brings the peoples more in touch with each other. It . brings the mer chant and farmer closer together, It helps all, and ' makes travel a pleasure, 'We hope the bounty and the people interested will take this matter in t6 consideration and aee what can be done1 on this line. -Other towns and, cities',. are doing - Jt.' Why not we? s r ,.v,- " We would be glad rf the minis-era-of the : differentf churches of our town would handin for.-pub- lication theirtrintmentB fa theu-coming ISuaday and ay t other iufbrnaation ibt maybe interest "ltd J ourreadersPieafeia get this matter in to: u not later inan vvenesaayinjrniugvuruei to insure its being published in the eext issue of The Record.

Rowan ' Record will give away a good top buggy and a splendid sewing machine, at 6 p. m. , Saturday, May 1st, 1909. This contest is r i ust . as . much an affair for The Record as it is for The Watchman, and the good people of China Grove and vicinity leaders of these papers, are ! m vited to take part in it just' as much so as. those of any other sec tion of the county. The chauces for some one in the vicinity of China Grove beiusr a winner is greater than in any other part o the countv. With' The I Record - - - r just established here and the peo pie being interested iu its success fuil etablishment, subscriptions should.be easy to obtain, and i the extra large vote- given for those who take both The Watchman and Record success would seem almost certain; Let some hustler from China Grove get in the con test and show those m other parts of the county how to make things lively. :: . , :.. ; A Bright Outlook for China 6roie Circuit On comins to Uhina virove we were received kindly. We have re ceived many tokens of appreciation from the good people here and in the surrounding community. Our congregations are large and grcw ing all the while. We have inter esting Sunday school. Ihe Sun day school has taken on-new life. New scholars are enrolled every Sunday. We have a Baraca class that numbers 18. Don't forget the big "Baraca rally" Sunday evening at 3:30, February 14th. Our prayer meetings are well at tended. The prayer meeting is the thermometor of the church by which you can tell its spiritual temperature. T ' Now a word' about our paper, Thev Rowan Record, it is meeting the wishes of the people here. I hear .nothing but words of praise for it and its editor, J. A; J. Farrington, pastor of M. E. church south. CONCORD AND CABARRUS COUNTY. Escaped Convict S'ill at Large. Cabarrus Black ys fo be Honored. Concord Times. Feb. 8th. Mrs. Millie Smith died last Fri day afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home of hersou-in-law, Thomas Bost, near the PfreeQix mino. She was the mother of Herbert Smith, former superintendent of the chain gang. She was in her 74th year, and leaves four children. Nothing has yet been heard of Will Smarr, the escaped convict who sold his real estate last week and left the country; It was thought that a clue had been ob tained as to his whereabouts, but it was a false one. J. M. BurragB,' superintendent of the county chain gang, tells us that the state ment that Will Smarr, the es caped convict, Was a "trusty" was an error, and that he was "double shackled." On account of having a cripple hand he was put to driving a team, and that when he had emptied his load he made his escape. It is suspected that the trustees who were at work leveling the dirt hauled, aided him in removing his shackles and making his escape. The little son of W. F. Smith, of Coddle Creek, whose skull was fractured recently by a horse step ping on his head, is getting well. The operation for his relief was a success. . . ; The Daughters of the Confeder acy of Concord contemplate erect ing some kind of tablet or other mark on the spot made famous in history by the Cabarrus Black Boys, which is about three miles frjm?Ccncord. -. . Little Lucille, the eight-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. P.

The citizens 6f East Speucr don't fancy the granting of that liquor license a little bit There has been considerable talk "and the matter has been commented up on -quite freely. . It - is expressly stated in the charter of the town that no intox icating liquor shall be sold within the corporate limits of the place.

They are responsible for the large pait of the criminality and degradation that stands out so painfully be fore the pablic. Call the roll of the morally stained and disguali fied among men and trace their careers back through the years and deeds of the r lives, and in the case of most of them ample cause therefore ma,y be found in parent al faithlessness' to them. Lack of oversight and training at home is fatal. The school, the ministry of the church cannot be relied on to arrest the evil to compensate the loss of needed tuition at the handsof fathers and mothers in earlier years. Moral, obliquity! that the lack of discipline in home life proves in many coses cannot well be characterized with exaggeration. Tolerance of the development of evil propensities ift children, to say nothing of the gigantic wrong of example set to encourage and stamp them, and the display thereby of practical indifference about them, is -a prodieious iniquity fraught 'with incalculable evil to the child, - id society,, and . .toward God..
