The Dragon Dance
ei- the watchers. Then the Dragon, huge
h ad swaying slo\yVy. emerged from a
canvas covered "lair,” created behind a
<!?>< k wiudles. The coaxing tempo of
the music appeared to lure the big rep
file on. Crouched close to the'deck it
crept along. Nearer and', nearer it ap
proached the orchestra, in the manner of
some gigantic bbeast about to seize a
hypnotized prey.
The fantastic,head, molded from paper
niache. painted in a dozen dazzling col
ors, with big wagging red tongue and
bulging yellow eyes seemed alive, as its
motion was controlled by the expert Wan
Cun. The aft part of the body conceal
ed an assistant \vho*e every movement
was timed to that of the master dancer
in fro tit, of him.
A sudden crash of the cymbals, a
••zoom” from the big gong, and a thun
der from the tam-tam stopped the creeji
ing advance of the Dragon. The music
swedded in volume, the time advanced
sharply. As if angered the Dragon rear
ed its bead upward, eyes rolling, tongue
wagging furiously. Rising on its feet,
each movement In perfect time with the
music. Tt dashed forward, then retreat
ed. In a frenzy <t danced about the
deck.
' Again the music softened ami slowed
down. The Dragon's dance diminished
in activity, until it again was crawling
about on deck.
A head of lettuce, attached to a long
lm.-gth of string was tossed in front of
the creature. As trie Dragon crept near
ii. a Chinese pulled the lettuce away, as
one does when playing with a kitten.
With graceful yet grotesque bounds the
Dragon leaped after its prey, missing it
of Mt. Pleasant. There was a sugges
tion that a committee be appointed from
each county whose business it should be
to lu<rk into the matter of getting this
road under way!
' Messrs. J. M. Boyett. O. J. Sykes. R.
L. Brown. I. It. Burleyson #nd others
also made talks and it was the general
consensus of opinion among the Stanly
speakers that it would be inexpedient
to appoint a committee at this time.
The meeting adjourned without any
definite steps having been taken in the
matter, but the Concord men announced
after the meeting that .Cabarrus would
build its part of the road to the county
line, whether Stauly joined it or not.
It was also the opinion of many Stanly
men present that regardless of the ap
pointment of a committee, -Stanly would
be ready to meet Cabarrus at the border
with a hard surfaced road when that
county is ready to get into action.
A report of the meeting published ,in
The Concord Tribune of last Friday in
dicated that the Concord delegation felt
it had been ‘‘given the cold shoulder” by
th»* Stanly people. It seems tliat some
member of the Lions Club had invited
the Concord delegation to meet here with
that organization, but the membership of
the club seemed to know nothing about
the invitation, until the men had ar
rived last Thursday evening. The sit
uation was a\ Very embarrassing one on
the of local citizens, as well as the
Concord* visitors.
Artificial scarecrows pre of little, if
any value in Egypt. The'-owners of the
cornfields near the Nile have to employ
natives, who stand on raised platforms
and throw stones to scare the
voracious birds, which would otherwise
quickly devout the entire crop.
If the sun were to be divided \into
smaller planets it would njake 1310 each
the size of the earth.
barely by inches.
Enraged at the escape of its “prey.”
the dragon again resumed its wild danc
ing./ While the music crashed and thun
dered in barbaric manner tlie lettuce
was tossed directly at the high dung
head. The huge jaws went open, then
closed, the lettuce being crushed. Fur
iously the Dragon munched its “victim-”
Then, as the throb of the drum softened
to its original smithing echo, the Dragon
curled up on deck, and with a wide
mouthed yawn, assumed a sleeping posi
tion.
Tlie music died completely away, and
Wan dun. exhausted from his efforts,
crept from beneath the big head to bow to
plaudits of the enthusiastic passengers.
For years Wan dun studied dragon
dancing—as the hind legs—before he ev
er assumed the dignity of leading the
ceremony ami operating the head of the
symbolic creature. Then lie became
known throughout the Shanghai district
of his native country for the cleverness
of his dance which lie performed in the
streets with a few pennies for, his re
wa r<k
A new months ago. Wan dun. who is
still better cook than a dancer, which is
indeed saying something, was engaged as
one of the chef's staff on the President
McKinley. When his fellow country
men realized that the famous dragon
dancer was auioug them, they beseech
ed Wan dun to give a performance each
sailing day. as an offering for a mu
voyage. The* dragon dancer complied,
and now his performance is a feature,
both with passengers and crew, each
time the Admiral Oriental liner sails
from Seattle to Shanghai.
Cabarrus Cotton Mills Being Sued.
Charlotte News.
A suit for $30,000 against the Ca
barrus Cotton Mill Company has been
filed in the clerk of the court's office
here by .!. A. Lockhart, administrator
of the estate of Hamp‘Gillette Kirby,
17 years old. who lost his life at the
cotton mill on May 20. W. M. Kirby,
father of the boy who was killed, has
also entered suit to recover $2,000 from
tin* mill for wages which he contends
the sou would have drawn had he lived
to remain in the employ of the com
pany until he vivas 21 years of age.
Young Kirby was killed by an electric
shock when he took hold of a. motor to
start it. according to the bill. The boy
had previously forked in the mill as
a twister but on Mie day of his death
had been transferred to a card stripper
where h * had to start the machine with
a motor which the complaint says was
defective and caused the boy's death.

Efird Mill No. 2 Collapses.
fetanly News-Herald.
Just after most of the workers vacated
for dinner last Saturday. Efird Mill No.
2 collapsed, causing considerable damage
to machinery and stock. Fortunately
there were only a few persons in the
building at the time, and those who were
in were at the end not affected, so no
one was seriously hurt, it is said.
The collapse was due to a faulty foun
dation which gave way causing several
thousand dollars damage to the building
in addition to the damage done so ma
chinery. It is thought that the struc
ture can be repaired, however, without
rebuilding the : entire wall. Th<? build
ing which was built about 2 years ago
had a foundation partly of soft bricks,
and this is thought to have caused the
trouble.
