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 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. r THE CONCORD TIMES SOCIAL & PERSONAL A Beautiful Reception.
