Kannapolis Has Fast High Team.
Kannapolis, April 13.—Kannapolis
Highs are playing some fast ball, tak
ing their fourth straight game when
Davidson High went down by a score
of 10 to 2 Thursday afternoon.
A costly error alone allowed the.
visitors a chance to score, and it
brought home the only two tallies.
Mauldin, tl]o local pitcher, was not
only good on the mound, hut proved
himself valuable with the stick. The
base running of Montgomery was per
fect and the work of Simpson on the
keystone sack prevented the visitors
from further scoring.
Davidson Highs played good hall
but were unable to solve Mauldin’s
delivery.

KIWANIS MEETING
Mr. *l. P. l ook Makes a Most Inter
esting Talk on the Jackson Training
School.
A talk hy Hon. Janies P. Took, and j
solos by Miss Mary McLaughlin, were .
features at the meeting on Friday ev- ■
tuning of the Kiwanis Club of tob-i
cord, which held its regular meeting
at the Y. M. C. A.
Xo business matters of importance
were brought before the club. The j
.committee appointed to confer with ]
Commissioner Wilkinson regarding the j
Kannapolis highway reported through j
Chairman McKay den that it had not j
ye| had an opportunity to take the j
trip to Charlotte to sen* the Coavmis- 1
sinner, and asked that it he continued, j
The trash committee made a report
that the trash piles just outside the
city limits were still growing, and
that a new one had been started on
Fast Depot Street, just outside of the
corporate limits. The need of a dis
posal plant for this trash was again
emphasized, and the members of the
chib were informed that steps toward
this end are now being considered by
city and county officials.
• Mr. Cook, who is chairman of the
Board of Trustees of the Jackson
Training School, in beginning his talk,
declared that the idea so often in
stilled into young people that making
a living is the main riling in life, is
a very low ideal. Even the lowest
creatures on earth make a living, and
surely (bid's crowning work in creation
should do more than merely make a
living.
The idea that character is heredi
tary was scouted by the speaker, who
declared' that some of the greatest
criminals in the country have as much
as live generations of so-called blue
blood behind them. Criminals ’ arc
made more by their environments than
from anything else. In the popula
tion of the boys at the Jackson Train
ing School, he continued, the hulk of
them are families which are. in their
community, considered A-f families.
The hoys are the products of environ
ments, and are not criminal.
Mr. Cook then outlined the begin
nings of the Training school, thirty
three years ago. Fp until 1890, lie
said, the state had made no provision
for any of its unfortunates, except an
institution for the insane. About this
time a little boy. thirteen years of
age, "in a county not far from here,”
was convicted of the theft of $1.30
from a bureau drawer in the home of
a man who preached the Gospel, in
i tin* home where the boy had been
placed, and the youngster of 13 years
was sentenced to three and one-lialf
years on the chain gang. He was to
be put (o work every day by the side
of men who were hardened criminals,
wlm had no hope in life, nor any am
bition. Such a sentence, said the
speaker, was nothing short of giving
tin* youth a ticket straight to hell.
This incident caused tin* hirtli of the
institution which is now situated at
Concord, with its present plant repre
senting nearly $1,000,000 outlay. Less
than half of this amount has been
furnished by the sMte. The remain
der of ii is an expression of the lovo
and interest of the men and women of
Ibe State, who have given of their
means and efforts to build this insti
tution.
On January 12. 1009. the Jackson
Training School was lirst opened, and
the first hoy admitted . The building
has been erected by several interested
men. who personally endorsed for the
part of the money which was still
owed on the building. One lady went
to some of the towns nearby, ami got

In the Training School the boys are
not treated -as criminals or culprits,
continued tlio speaker. When a boy
enters the institution, lie is given to
understand that the past is all dos
ed—the sltate is wiped clean—and lie
is to make a new start. He is not in
jail, there are no chains nor bars,
lie is given responsibilities, and confi
dence is reposed in him, and it is won
derful how readily the boy nature re
sponds to this line of treatment. It
is making them appreciate the higher
things in life, and the many former
Training School boys who are now
grown to manhood and holding re
sponsible positions are an index to the
success that is being aeliived.
The Jackson Training School is
here. How many of the people of
Concord have been through the insti
tution? asked Mr. Cook. The message
that he wished to impress on his hear
ers. he continued, is that the institu
tion craves the interest of the people
of this community. The school is al
ways open to visitors—there are no
secrets. All his hearers were invit
ed to come to visit tile place, and bring
their families along with them.

Chairman Page Visits
This City on Busk.
With High Officials of the |
Southern Railway Co. He
Makes Inspection of New
Route to Kannapolis.
ROUTING OF ROAD
BROUGHT VISITORS
It Is Believed Controversy
Over Underpass or Over
head Bridge Brought the |
Officials to the City.
Frank Page, chairman of the State i
Highway Commission, the district en
gineer of the commission, and high of
ficials of the Southern Railway Com
pany spent several hours in Concord
Saturday making an inspection of the
Kannapolis road to determine whether
'an underpass or an overhead bridge
i will be constructed to care for the
present grade crossing at Cook’s cross
ing. The Southern officials here were
B. Herman, assistant to the Vice Pres
ident. of Washington, I). C., C. D.
McKay, mail traffic director, of Wash
ington, and Mr. Buckley, maintenance
of way expert, of Charlotte.
Mr. Herman was traveling in his pri
vate cfcr, Xo. 13, and Mr. McKay was
traveling in his car, Xo. 15. One par
ty came to Concord on train Xo. 11,
from Winston-Salem, and the other!
came from Charlotte on train Xo. 3b. |
Mr. Page and his engineer also came!
on train Xo. 30 from Charlotte,
Immediately after reaching the city
the party left in autos to make an in
spection of the Kannapolis road. The
trip hero was made necessary hy
changes in the original plans of the I
Highway Commission relative to the
construction of the road over the
tracks of the Southern. The com
mission lirst planned to build an un
derpass, it is understood, but later de
cided to construct an overhead bridge.
This action brought protests from a
number of people of the county, in
cluding the county commissioners, who
passed a resolution asking the commis
sion to adopt its original plans anil
construct the underpass.
It is generally understood here that
the reqoest for the overhead bridge
was made hy railroad officials, and tiie
visit of the officials here today is con
strued as a step in their plans to con
vince the commission that a bridge and
not an underpass should be erected.
! Mayor Womble stated to a represen
tive of The Times that he would
seek an interview with the Southern
officials and ask them to pave the com
pany’s road at the passenger station,
and also the truck road in the rear
