A Good Road From Concord to the Lower Section of the County is 1 1 A -1 T C 1 Miles of It .Already Built. ''hew. is a large section of the country along the lower part-of this . otmty, the Stanly, Mecklenburg and I "nion line. It is a productive section ;!t!(i will be more productive when the railroad now being constructed is completed. The produce and general business from that section and be-' t wren 'here and there w ill amount to ;i vast sum. The business of this section- will grow rapidly from now on ! h;ui ever in its -history and, there fore, the total sum will amount to uiore and moreveach year. Concord can get the business from this section and profit by sharing in the vast sum its pioduets will amount Numerous Matters Pertaining to the Rural Schools of Cabarrus. The receipts from the box supper at Howell's school, which was held a few weeks ago. netted $15.85. The teachers, Mr. D. V. Carter and Miss rannie Host, have' purchased a water cooler. -chair and table for the school with the proceeds. Mr. John A. Suther, teacher at Barrier's school in No. 5 township, reports that he has raised the money for purchasing a water chooler. St. John's, Winecoff and Cruse schools have also purchased water coolers. In purchasing the water coolers for the various schools the teachers are acting in keeping with the rec ommendation made by the board of health,-The board recommended some time-ago 'that water coolers and in dividual drinking cups be placed in as many schools as possible and that the school drinking cup and water bucket be abandoned. The country recently purchased two barrels of floor oil to be used on the public school houses in the coun ty. A number of the schools have applied the oil to the floors and it has proved an efficient dust prevent ative. The oil is furnished free to the schools and the ones desiring it HUNTING SEASON CLOSES. -. i ill- i in. roneom cannoi gei mis nusiness 'unless it makes'-an effort to secure jean secure same by making. appHea it. Therefore it behooves the busi-jtion to the superintendent of public ih-s men 'of this citv and countv to i instruction. In order to secure it, take steps toward securing, this busi ness. The first and by the far the most important action -to be taken is the construction of a good road from here to the county line in that direc tion. A good road is absolutely -nec--!sary if the business is to be gained :iik1 the' country developed. If the - - however, it will be necessary to bring cans to carry it away in. The Wallace school in No. 3 town ship, has raised $10 for the purpose of starting a rural library. The money ,i t is reported, was raised by a box supper.

The road can be constructed. The citizens in that section should have a good road leading to their market. It is likely the county commissioners would order the road built if the peo Ae along the route and the people lu re would show them that they wanted the road. Cabarrus can-well afford to make the expenditure of whatever, funds necessary- to "con struct tlie highway. All the matter needs is for the interested parties to take advantage of the opportunities that are now presented. A part of the road is already mac adamized , and the other part could be put in the same condition in a short time. As long as the matter . is de layed is means a loss to every one connected1 with the route in anyway and to the wealth and progress of Concord and Cabarrus. The matter of building this road is of a nature to warrant the consideration of the peo ple of that section and the business interests of Concord. and also in the largest percentage of attendance. The enrollment of the school in 122 and the average attend ance h 10S. The report of Rimer school shows an enrollment of 107 and an average attendance of 80. The census of both spools shows the Superintendent Boger has the af fairs of the schools well in hand and the educational work in the county is working smoothly and effectively. FOREST HILL NEWS. Season Harked By Scarcity of Liids in Cabarrus. Not an Accident Marred the Pastime. The bird season closed yesterday, it being illegal to kill quail after that date. Hunters tatc that t If num ber of birds killed ibis sf as m will not equal the number that fell Wfore the guns in previous seasons. Tbu is due largely to the reasons that he time limit to kill quail in tluU county has been great lv lessened and that the birds were not so. plentiful !: season. One hunter declares that not as many hunters have een in the field this season as in former year. He also states that that there are also fewer high class birds clogs in Cabarrus now than at any time since he has been a resident here. Form erly there were a number of eople here who demoted much time to breed ing and training fine bird dogs but it seems that practice has been aban doned by the most of them. The most remarkable fact about the season in Cabarrus is that not a single accident has marked the pastime this year, neither a quail shooter or a chaser of the rabbit fall ing victim to an accident. During the Christmas holidays and Thanksgiving the woods and fiends were filled with hunters and usually when there are so many, guns in action the accidents u 250 IIS THE PARCEL POST !

The scarcity of the birds, the hun ters say. is due largely to the fact that dogs are allowed to run at large at all seasons of the year and that thev. kill the birds, rob their nests, disrupt the pairs after they are mat ed. One experienced hunter gives it as his opinion that five birds arc kill ed in this way to one killed by a shot gun. FIRE WEDNESDAY MORNING, boat was sent to Calhoun.
