Some of our .neighbors have had tlieir year’s supply of wood sawed up via the gasoline route rather than the Pullman (cross-cpt) route.

The excessive rains of last week caused the creeks and river to over flow’ their banks. Some of the smaller streams reached high water mark. No casualties that we know of occurred. The most thrilling experience that anyone had on account of the high i water was that of a swain from Con icord, who had,called on his girl on Friday evening of last week. After I spending a pleusant evening with his girl, he started for home. It was rain ing, tlie earth was covered with wat er and it was a- dark night. The THE CONCORD TIIICES (young man, not being familiar with the approach of the road to the river and not thinking of high waters, kept going till there was a splash and the motor stopped. On making examina tion of his surroundings, he discover ed that the river had overflowed its banks and that his machine had stall ed. Hoping the waters would soon re cede he decided to abide by the ship. Perhaps it was the thought of the pleasant evening he had had with his girl, together with the gentle mur inufDigs of the waters that soon lull ed him to sleep. AA’hen he awoke some hours later, water was dipping over the bed of his car. So he deserted the car and* waded to land. Boys of the neighborhood, aided by a team, rescued the car late Saturday after noon. Born to Air. and Airs. It. L. Alc- Eachern, of Cabarrus, a girl. Born to Air. anil Airs. AA\ E.

Raleigh, March 20.—Municipal au thorities reported difficulty in fully understanding all the requirements concerning' the new bond registration act. State Auditor Baxter ‘Durham explained today} that the law simply requires that bonds must be registered with his office after sale and before delivery to the purchasers. Unless the bonds aVo registered they are in valid, and /he purchaser naturally would not/be willing to accept them until registered. The requirement, insetted as an amendment to the Sams act of 1021 requiring counties and municipalities to record alVbond sales with the state auditor, has brought in many registra tions al ready ,\and it is expected to prove in furnishing the state accurate i|tfromation currently as to the financial situation of the va rious units of High Wafer Registered Along the Pee Dee River.
