CANNOT BE TOO CAREFUL.
The terrible tragedy that occurred
Tuesday night near Camden. S. (’..
when more than seventy persons lost
their lives in it blaze tlml destroyed a
school building,,.brings home to us the
necessity for great care, in planning
buildings that must house children or
which must serve to house great
crowds on special occasions. The
sclioolhouse nearTamdeje caught afire
while a commencement exercise was
in progress, and the details of the cat
astrophe are juost distressing. Entire
families were wiped out in the fire:
scores of children were burned or
■ smothered to death in the rush and
the collapse of the building: mothers
with babes in their arms were.crushed
in the rush for the exit. The tragedy
brings two matters dose home to us.
Buildings used by children or as
community ccuters. should have more
than or e exit, and they should be
lighted with something other than
lamps.
The fire in the South Carolina
schoolhous* was started when a cell
ing lamp fell to the stage, where pu
pils were giving a commencement pro
gram. The lamp exploded when it
struck the stage, and the hlaze was
scattered all over the stage, igniting
the costumes of the children yjxl other
lying about., The wooden stage
was soon one solid mass of flumes, and
many of the children taking part in
the program were trapped behind the
stage.
There was but one door to, the. build
ing. Persons sitting near it made their
way out safely, but only a few could
be accommodated near the door. A
majority of the spectators were sit
ting in other parts..of the structure,
and they were carried to their doom
when the floor gave way, being covered
with blazing timbers and other burn
ing materials. If there had been sev
eral exits to the building it is very
probable that many of those who
tlieir lives would have been rescued
or would have made their escape un- j
aided from the building.
—While reports of the catastrophe do
hot give the ago of the* building, it is
safe to estimate that it had been
erected a number of years ago. Most
of the buildings being erected in this
day offer a number of exits and where
they cannot be lighted by a public
utility company many of-them use lo
cal plants. All of Them should, for
the kerosene lamp is always danger
ous where children are concerned, and
it is generally the unexpected that
happens.
MORRISON TO MAKE EXPOSURES.
Though Governor Cameron Morrison
*\ has been at work on his investigation
of conditions in thb State prison, he
asserts that he already lias learned
enough to know that there are some
terrible liars in North Carolina. The
Governor in discussing the investiga
tion said he expected to expose some
of the "blackest lying against faith
ful public servants” that the State has
ever known, and he promises to make
public facts just as he finds them.
Superintendent Pou recommends that
corporal punishment and the use of
dark cells he abolished in the State
pfjson and his recommendation will be
followed in the future. He has sug
gested a system for the State prison
that is very similar to the system used
in the Federal prison, and his plans
have received the approval of Govern
or Morrison, the directors of the pris
on, Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson, comm 3s-
•si oner of public welfare, and the oth
er persons especially interested in
J prison reforms. The change of admin
istration in the prison together with
I
Governor Morrison's plans to make a
full report on conditions as he finds
them, should put the State prison on
a fine footing in the future, whether I
or not it has been there heretofore.
ABOUT HEADY TO FUNCTION.
Road matters in Cabarrus County
or. Mime first will be placed in the:
hands of the road commissioners -ap- j
< I
pointed at the last session of the Gen- j
oral Assembly, and the commission has |
•about reached the point with its prep- ]
;arations where-.it is ready to function. |
Definite policies and plans for the:
commissioners have not been made
public, but it is generally understood
that everything will be ready for the*
policies of the i:ew body to be put in
operation about the first of next
month.
Three of the most prominent men in
the county compose the board. They
are T. H. Webb. G. S. Kluttz and John
W. Cress. These men were chosen be- |
cause the public , has confidence in
them, because they have the good of
the county at heart than any po
litical party, and because they have
been successful ii: business and un
doubtedly will be successful as public
servants.
Mr. Webb, as chairman of the
board, will have the greater portion
of the work' to look after, but he is
expected to place the work on a busi
ness basis and_s.ee that it is conducted
as any other successful business is
conducted. He is expected to get able
and efficient men to look after the af
fairs, of the. commission, and they will
be held responsible.
We think it is a wise move to take
the county's road matters out of pol
itics. Hereafter a change of adrainis- ■
tration politically, will have no effect |
on the road policies in this county.
Tjie plan has been tried for years in
other counties and in each instance- it
has proved successful. ,
While local roads will got the maj
or portion of the commission's atten
tion it is believed that the commission
will endeavor to work harmoniously
with the State Highway Commission
on State roads. One of the first proj
ects to be undertaken by the commis
sion, according to reports, will be the
construction of a modern highway I
through No. 10 township. It is be
lieved that once this road is construct
ed by the county it will he accepted
by tin* State. The commission, tic
cording to all information available.
plans to huifft this road on the most
practical plans and along the most
practical route, regardless of whether
or not it serves everyone who wants
his farm traversed by it. That is the
only way to build a road. It is a
waste of the people's money to run
some road all through a community
for the purpose of getting it to every
one's house.
Much interest is centering in the
work of tin* commission, and its ini
tial plans, which probablwwill fore
cast its general policies, will Be wateh-i
ed with keen interest by everyone who
is interested in the roads of Cabarrus
county.
f
TRADE WEEK.
Concord business men have stopped
at no expense to make Trade Week,
which begins here Thursday, the larg
est event of its kind in the history of
this county. They have raised a large
sum of money for the purpose of of
fering attractive prizes, they have
•spent much money for advertising, and
j they have reduced the prices on their
goods- to rock bottom. It is safe to
predict that the event will be a/great
success, for people are anxious to goT
seasonable goods at special prices, and
that is just what they’ will be able to
do here during the big week.
The event starts Thursday morning.
May 24th, and will continue until 6 p.
in., Saturday, June*2nd. 'These dates
have been chosen so that the sale will
run through two Saturdays. Farm
people and employes of manufacturing
plants do most of their shopping on
Saturdays, when their work is light-
est. and for this .reason the trade event
will include two Saturdays. The draw
ing of the prizes will take place on
Saturday. .Tune 2nd. at 7 p. m.. and per
jsons desiring to win the cars must be
present when the drawing takes place.
Concord stores will offer an unus
ual line of goods for the big trade
event. Heads of the business houses
have ordered a large supply of goods
and these will he offered at the lowest
possible prices. The goods to he offer-.
J ed will not he made up mostly of carry
lovers, but will be commodities taat are
I needed now or staple goods that are
always needed. The advertisements
that appear in this paper or that will
appear in this paper during the week
show: in a small way just what will he
offered on a large scale when the
trade event gets in full swing.
The event has been planned by the
merchants for two reasons. . First, to
create more interest in Concord as a
grading center, and second to create a
mor trading.
Persons who fail to take advantage
of the price bargains to be offered
l
while the trade event is m progress,
1 will miss nn opportunity to save mon
* ev on necessities.
MAY ENTER ANOTHER FIELD.
Reports from Detroit Jliat, Henry
Ford may enter the textile field jvill
be of general interest and of special
interest to the South. Reports from
the home of the automobile manufac*-
j turer strife that experimei ts are undcr-
I way at the Michigan Park plant of
| the Fords "to determine the most ef
j ficient textile machinery and methods
jof weaving, so that all the necessary
j information will be available whenever (
it is desired to enter the textile field.’’
It is reported that the Ford plants
use annually 85,000,000 pounds of cot
ton fabrics, explosive of duck, and
tiiat the Ford consumption of cottor. is
equal to 1.76 per cent, of the entire
American crop of 1922. At the pres
ent time all fabrics used Va re purchas
ed' in the open market. Mr. Ford evi
dt.ntly believes that he can manufac
ture his own fabrics cheaper than In
can purchase them. It is estimated in
one report that should Mr. Ford get
Muscle ;Slioals he may use part, of the
power developed there to operate the
textile plants he is thinking of operat
ing. Slnmlds the Fords go into this
line of industry, The Manufacturers
Record points out, "their enormous use
of cotton, wool and other fabrics
would make of the Ford Motor Com
pany one of the greatest textile pro
ducers in the country; and that Jhe
Fords have some original ideasMn con
nection with the industry is indicated
by the fact 'that they have turned
down \offefs of several complete textile
plants in the East which have been
made to them.’’
The action of the County Commis
sioners in authorizing It. I>. Goodman,
county farm agent, to, cluck up on all
cows brought into this county to de- j
tcrniiqe whether or not they have been |
tested for tuberculosis, is an important J
step. This county during the past
several months spent about $3,000 hav
ing its. cows tested. It is nothing but
right that cows from other counties
should not be brought into this coun
ty unless they too. have been tested
and found to be free from tuberculo
sis. There is a State law against this
practice and the Commissioners have
instructed Mr. Goodman to be on the
lookout! ami arrest anyone who will
fully brings an untested cow into this j
county, unless the cow is to Do slaugh- ,
tered at once. There is no question
about many people being poispneil ami
infected from tubercular cows, and we j
cannot he too careful in keeping our j
cattle free from' the disease.
Fred Vannatter, of Detroit, presi
dent of the Northeastern Printing Com
pany, and editor of the Upper Gratiot

unconscious in ills car, Vanatter said.

Mr. Bryan is a very outspoken oppon

Persons who desire to get the best
line on the many bargains to be of
fered during the trade event should
read this paper and other issues of this
paper during this and *next week.
Each issue of this paper will carry
special advertisements pointing out the
hundreds of fine things to be offeryd
at the stores, and persons reading
these advertisements will be familiar
with the goods to be found in the
stores and will know just what they
want when they enter the stores.
Trade Week promises to be the big
gest event of its kind in Cabarrus
county. Furthermore, it promises to
be one of the biggest events of its kind
in the history of North Carolina. Ting
goods are here. Shoppers who fail
to take advantage of the bargains of
fered will miss a golden opportunity
'to get seasonable goods at bargain
■ 'prices.
That the farm people are busily
engaged with their planting is evi

Governor Morrison this morning when
asked for a statement,regarding action
of the State prison hoard yesterday, in

The Governor stated he was “not

matter as he had the ability to do."
He declared that lie was satisfied that

FAMOUS COMEDIAN CONVERTED
Fred vStone Makes Broadway Gasp
When He Gives Sermon on Stage.
New York. May 17. —Fred Stone
noted comedian, turned evangelist or
Broadway last bight and the old street
bad a new topic of "eon versat ion today.
A roa r of 'applause greeted him as
lie finished one of the eccentric (lances
that have made him famous, and <>.-
bOd persons who packed the Metropoli
tan Opera House at the National Vau
deville Artists' benefit performance
waited for him to swing intp another
buck and wing. InsteaiHStoiie held up
bis hand for quiet.
"Eve got something to toll you. peo
ple.’’ he said.
The audience hushed, for it was re
membered that Stone some weeks ago.
had professed religion after he had
been snowbound for several days on a
train in tlie West.
“Recently 1 made a statement." con
tinued the comedian, "that has Iteen
taken up by the public more than I
thought it would be. That was my
decision to cease being a passive sort
of Uliristiyn and become an active
worker for God.
"I want to make that statement over
again! I want to tell you people that
a time comes in every man's life when
he wants to come out and take a step
like this. When you have done this
you cat. l'eel secure, at peace with the
world, and face the future with con
fidence.
"I have been criticized for not aban
doning my profession after I came out
for the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 want to
say that my profession is as good as
any in the world, and why should I
abandon ifi any more than any other
professional man should abandon his
when he becomes a Christian.'
‘•(tod n4ed not be worshipped w.rli
in the four walls of a church. Me
may eayy the thought of God with us
in everything we do.”
The comedian finished his speech,
evidently made on the spur of the mo
ment, by asking his listeners to "hit
tlie traii.”
A thunder of applause followed him
from the stage, a far greater ovation
than the one gi-ren his eccentric dance.
Persons who secured books iiom
the library before it was dost a ror

“MUTT* LA WING IS FINED
FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT
Case Grew Out of Alleged Treats
Against Minister Wihtness During
the Thomas Trial.
Salisbury, 'Nlay 17. —“Mutt” Rawing,
young white man of Kannapolis, was
before Judge James Webb today to
answer a charge of contempt of
court, and was fined $25. The ease
grew out of alleged threats made by
Lawing during the February term of
court, the object of his threats being
Rev. D. P. Grant, a young Methodist
minister, who had been a witness in
the O. G. Thomas murder case,. cUtd
who had testified that
father had bad character.
The elder Tawing and several mem
bers of his family were state’s wit
nesses in the murder case. The al-
Teged threats were made in the lobby
of the courthouse just after the
minister had testified. The hearing in
the contempt case had been post
poned ewice. Today Rawing was
present with counsel and several
character witnesses and also wit
messes who "swore they were nearby
when the alleged threats were said to
have been made, and that they did not
hear them.
Judge Webb announced that in
view of this conflicting testimony he
would not send the young man to
jail, and instead he imposed the
fine of $25.

'POPULAR STANLY YOUNG
j v LADI KILLED BY AUTOMOBILE
'Miss Shellie Atkinson Run Down by
] Auto Driven by John Talbert .ii
j Palestine.
! Stanly News-llerald.
J On last Friday night, near the pub
lic school building at Palestine, four
miles northeast of Albemarle. Miss
Shellie Atkinson, the attractive lb
year-old daughter of Mr. E. D. Atkin
son. who lives near Porter. wa< run
down by an automobile driven by Mr.
John Talbert, of the Palestine section,
and killed almost instantly. As a re
sult of the same accident Mrs. Abe
Key, of - this place, is suffering from
numerous painful cuts and minor
bruises, but will recover.
Miss Atkinson, who had been work
ing in Albemarle for some time, to
gether with Mrs. Kgy. had attended
tin 1 closing exercises at the Palestine
school. They had left their automo
bile some distance away on account of
the .numerous cars crowded in about
the sehoolhou.se. After the exercises ]
had closed the two ladies started to]
where their car had been left, and on
account of the numerous cars passing
the road, they had gotten outside of!
the road. It seems from best informa- J
tion that Talbert was either trying to j
pass other cars or that lie lost control j
of the car which he was driving. At j
any rate by some means liis car gfd I
out of the road, and as it did, it is I
said the lights went out, making it im
possible for Miss Atkinson and Mrs.:
Key to see how to keep out of the
way of it. As a result the car plung
ed headlong into the two women. Miss
Atkinson was knocked down and drug
some distance, receiving such injuries
as to cause her death about thirty
minutes later. Talbert, it is reported,
realizing wliat he had done, got out
of his. car and fled, making his escape.
Later, on Saturday morning, however,
he surrendered himself to the officers
and has been placed under bond for
$5,000 for liis appearance in court to
answer to a charge of manslaughter.

m PARKER HAD
. NO REST, SHE SAYS
Got So Work Was Almost
Too Much For Her.—
Tanlac Again Proves
Merit.
"Ten Tanlac treatment gets all tlie
thanks for my splendid health, and
’I haven't the slightest doubt but what
it is the best medicine made,” declared
Miss Sallie Parker, popular girl of
Osceola Mills, Gastonia. N. U.
"For a year I suffered badly with
stomach trouble and nervousness, and
got so run-down my work was almost
too much for me. My appetite just
about left me, and even the little 1
did manage to eat refused to stay on
my stomach. At other times my food
caused me misery from gas and pains,
and I was dreadfully short of breath.
I had headaches, too, and always felt
tired and worn out. even after a
night's sleep. ’
"Right after I liegan taking Tanlac
my appetite improved and my stomach
trouble, nervous ness and run-down
condition have all disappeared now.
J never felt better, and will always
'praise Tanlac. It is simply grand."
