THE PRESIDENT IS DEAD.
; —‘ y , ? •. '•
The President is dead. r When«' r .thiff
message was Hashed across the continent ,
Thursday night from San Francisco,
where the President had been ill, the
.entire world was stunned and grieved.
Until Mr. Harding suffered the fatal
stroke about' 7:30 o'clock Thursday
night, there was every indication that
be would recover, and the short announce
ment of his r death came as a shock.
Mr-; Harding was the President of ev
ery person in the United States and its i
possessions. and everyone feels a personal 1
loss iu his death.* Democrats and Repub
licans alike share common grief, and 1
from the lowliest to the highest today
there is a feeling that a friend is gone.
Mr. Harding won his greatest fame and *
favor by his pleasing ai*l strong person- J
ality. While his administration has 1
been severely criticised in some quarters,
everyone has' felt the*appeal of his per- ]
sonality and untiring effort to accomplish
something for his constituency, and his
death provided common ground on which 1
members of all political parties can 1
mourn. <
THE NEW PRESIDENT.
Calvin Coolidge has not proved that
lie is a man of outstanding intellect, but
he has proved that he is a good, solid.
Christian man, fitted by training and in- ,
clination to carry on llie great work left '
to him by the death of President Hard- t
ing. His greatest fame came during the
strike of the Boston policemen, when he
stepped into the picture and brought
about a solution when municipal author
ities in Boston had been unable to bring
the two factions together. He came,
say reports, from the common people,
and is described as “plain as an old
s,hoe,” but with it all hq has shown al
ready that lie will give any task the
best within him. He is as American as
was the late President, and that he will
not attempt to change the Harding poli
cies as regarding America is shown by
his statement that lie will make no
changes in the administration personnel
and in the policies already outlined by
administration officials.
President Coolidge sat with the cabi
net at all meetings, therefore he is more
conversant with conditions, perhaps,
than any other Vice President, for lie is
the first to meet with the President and
liis cabinet. He hasTcept in close touch
with affairs also through his association
with the deliberations of the Senate, and
many matters that will demand decis
ion from him will not be as new to him
as they would Ik* had lie not learned of
them while serving in the Senate.
The United States accepts President
% Coolidge with Confidence. He is gener
ally regarded as a safe, conservative
leader, and there is a general feeling that
he will ‘‘carry on*’ iu a most approved
fashion. His task will not be an easy
one. to be sure, but he lias been trained
to accomplish* difficult tasks, and this
training will make easier for him a~
most difficult work.
CABARRI S SCORED AGAIN.
At the conference for farmers and i
farm women held at Raleigh several
days ago, jCabarrus won first honors in
attendance. Wake ami adjoining coun
ties could not enter the contest, as their
farm people had but a little distance to
travel. Travel distance aid numbers
considered. Cabarrus lead.
This is not the first time this honor
has come to Cabarrus county. “The imt
year the conference was held Cabarrus
lead the State, and several times since
then she has won similar honors.
We: are glad*, to* see: the farm people
front tins'£ouut£ attending the confer
ences each year. Valuably information
is given them, as well valuable demon
strations. During the conference this
.year the people in attendance heard some
of the best known agricultural experts
in the United States discuss pertinejt
questions, and the %*aie tfoe they
saw some of latest farm machinery
in operation. And best of all they they
had opportunity to make new acquaint:
; anees and form new friendships. That
was worth the entire time and money
spent.
The atfendauce at tli.e sessions
year was the largest in the history of
the conference, indicating that farm peo
ple generally are learning the true value
of the meetings. •
\ .
SHOULD IIATE WEIGHT.
, Manager Blalock, of the Co-operative
Marketing Association of North Carolif
nn, in an address before the conference
of farmers and farm women in Raleigh
several days -ago, declared that co-oper
ative selling of cotton in North Carolina
within the past year had brought each
member , of the association about .sls
more per bale for his cotton than he
would have gotten if he had taken the
cotton to the open market.
We feel that this fact should make
the association solid in North Carolina,
Mr. Blalock would not make such a
statement if lie could not back it with
figures, and we think any farmer would
be influenced to join the association when
lie knows the association can get him
frOm ,sl2 to sls more for each bale of
cotton he has. \
COLORED PEOPLE TOHAVE FAIR
The colored people of Cabarrus Coun
ty have decided to have a fair of their
own after the conclusion of the Cabarrus
County Fair, which will be held in Oc
tober. * The fair, grounds will be used
for the colored fair, and already plans
for the conduct and management of the
fair are being made.
There is every reason to believe the
colored people of this country can put
over a good fair. They have enough
money, can get the grounds without dif
ficulty, and can get enough live-stock
and other exhibits to interest quite a
crpwd. They can also secure free ex
hibits and other features that attract.
The management of the Cabarrus Coun
t's-Fair has-gladly offered to assist the
colored people, ami by combining their
judgment with the judgment of the
whites, the colored people should conduct
a fine fair.
At the fair the produce raised by
colored farmers and farm women is to
be given a prominent place. That is
right. This will give the colored farmers
another incentive to produce better
goods and when he begins to take great
ere pride in his work and produce, lie
will become a much more valuable fann
er.
The colored fair will he held on No
vember .6. 7 and 8. and will be watch- 1
ed with interest throughout the State,
as it will he one of the few to he con
ducted by colored people.
RAILROADS DOING THEIR PART.
The railroads of the South are doing
their part to make this section the great
est in the United States. Information
collected by The Manufacturers Record
shows that nearly $400,000,000 is now
being expended by southern railroads in
the expanding of their facilities to han
dle the business being created in the
South. The fact that the roads are
spending this much money for increased
and better equipment is proof enough of
the healthy conditions of this section.
The ,program includes the building of
some new mileage, the betterment of ex
isting mileage and a great enlargement
of rolling stock, for which orders have
been let. As shown by The Record the
railroads are doing their to bet
ter transportation facilities, and the work
which they are now, doing is indicative
of their appreciation of the need of en
larged facilities gnd their determination
to the utmost extent that business may
justify Ifcem in providing these facilities
to handle the ever increasing volume of
traffieffi.
And what the railroads are doing is
indicative of the activity of other indus
tries throughout the State. The t Green
ville, S. C. .News finds thrft “water-pow
er is being developed on a huge scale
in many sections, and road building and
municipal improvements without end are
going on. Special activity is noted in
the building of new hotels and the en
largement of existing structures and iu
the building of apartment houses, and
still the demand’ for such buildings
seems to be greater than e'veu th£ many
new ones will be able to. meet. This ho
tel and apartment building activity, says
The Record, added to the remarkable ac
tivity in the building of schools and the
expansion of railroad facilities indicates
that in these lines the South has entered
upan an entirely new epoch, surpassed in
extent anything which this section has
ever known before. v
WOULD HELP GOVERNORS.
William C. Faries. sixty years old.
will be put to death in the electric chair
in the South Carolina State prison on
August 24th. Standing on the porch of
his home with a shot-gun he killed four
children of a neighbor family in Clover,
S. C., last September, and from all evi
dence product, -he killed the children
because they had been quarreling with
' his children. He was tried, convicted
and sentenced to the electric chair.
Recently a kinsman of the condemned
man appeared in Clover with a petition
: asking clemency ‘ for the prisoner.
* The petition, had it been circulated and
■ signed a& many of them are; would Jiave
been presented to the Governor of SouVh
'■ Carolina and the pardon board. But
' this petition wqs ipot- emulated, ‘for the

" circulated. The kinsman wanted to do
* all possible for the condemned man. to be

tjver wanted to see j listing carried out,

r Varies has the sympathy of many peo-
ple, but he flagrantly defied the law and
snuffed out the lives of four inudeent
children. People should not allow sym
pathy and sentiment to conflict with jus
tice.
The action of the Clover people in re
fusing to allow the clemency petitioij
to be* circulated brings to mind a very
interesting fact. # A man commits a
crime, is tried convicted and the
general public approves of the convic
tion. The crime is discussed fully and
openly, and a majority of the people
agree that the prisoner is guilty and
should be convicted. If he is turned
loose they howl about the laxity of the
courts and declare juries are ruining the
country. And then when he is convicted
and sent to prison, these howlers are the
first to sign a petition asking the Gov
ernor pr the pardon board for
If people refused to sign these petitions,
when they really feel that clemency is
not deserved, they would greatly assist
Governors and pardon boards in their
work. It is foolish to sign petitions ask
ing for clemency and then criticise those
who grant the request of the petitions.
Strangers in Concord are struck with
the modern road system of which the
city can boast now. There are about 29
miles of paved streets in Concord now.
the system caring for all of the more im
portant streets and many others that
are not used so much by the general
public. Not only are all the principal
streets in the up-tonjn section paved, but
in the mill villages much paving has
been done, and in addition several of the
important road links in the negro set
tlements have been paved, and the side
walks covered with cement. The city
officials who voted for these streets are
to he congratulated, and property own
ers of the city are due equal praise. It
was necessary for both sides to reach an
agreement in the matter, and the result
of the agreement is a city paved to the
minutest detail. The streets have cost
money, to be sure, but they are worth
it. We venture no one would take back
his money paid in taxes for the streets
and in return get back the muddy and
rough streets that once infested the city.
PARENTS KILLED BUT
THE CHILDREN ESCAPE
Mr. and Mrs. Smith White. Jonesville.
S. C.. Killed When Car Plunges Near
Hendersonville.
Asheville Aug.— 5,-f-Mr. and Mrs.
Smith White, of Jonesville. S. C.. were
instantly killed and their seven children
juries when an automobile driven -by a
son, John 11. White. 17. plunged down
an 80 foot embankment on the Hender
sonville road near Saluda this afternoon
“about 5 o’clock.
The automobile was parsing along the
edge of a precipice near Green v river,
and the bank gave way. causing the
car to fall to the hank of the river. The
car turned over several times before
crashing into the rocks, and was almost
completely demolished.
Mr- White was an engineer on the
Southern railway and was well known
through South Carolina. Relatives were
immediately notified and came for the
bodies of Mr. and Mrs. White, which
were carried to Spartanburg. S. C.
Kerr Street Revival Closed.
The meeting has been running smooth
ly from the beginning with every kind
of encouragement. As the time became
more propitious. Mr. Sisk began to de
nounce the wrongs and sins of the city
more strongly. He continued to discuss
their foibles and superficiality, and point
ing out tlie emptiness of such a life.
Card-playing, theatre-going and danc
ing were subpects for many remarks. He
said: There is much need of a religious
awakening in«this city. I would rather
see ten thousand souls brought to Christ
and have to borrow money to pay my way
home from your city, than to see the
cause of Christ not prosper and have
you pay me ten thousand dollars. Don’t
worry about your money. God bless you
hud. they’ll hand you off in a shroud
without a pocket and if it had a pocket
your arm would he too stiff to get into
it. Listen, they will put you in jail for
stealing a man's money, but you can
be au average church member and steal
•at—'man's character. When Sfi. Peter
said “add to your knowledge temperance’'
lie did not have reference to you old
red-nosed Methodises, any man who pre
tends to be a Christian and drinks whis
key is a great big old humbug, a two
legged hypocrite. God bores through the
top of* a inau's head to his heart and
Mown to his pocket.
Society is a heartless old wretch, and
if you don't get out of it you will go
t to hell with it. I want to tsll. you,
brethren, that* it takes more money to
run oik* old red-nosed drunkard than it
does to run any member of the ehurch
in this city. Every * barroom is a re
cruiting office for hell. I despise to see
a mau who knows more than anybody,
and'who dhes not know enough to .be
have himself. Some men have not got
sense enough to be decent. I am will
ing for anybody to have more money
than I have, but I* am n<pt wilting for
any man that walks this earth to have
more religion than I have. I cian get
as much as a soul full, and that’s £fbout
as much as an angel can get. ' I am not
running on understanding. I could not
get to my front gate on understanding,
but I could get from earth to heaven on
believing. I'm running on believing now.
Thank God for a bee-line. to the good
world. God bless you every one, I love
you. I want to shake your hand before
I leave here tonight. * *
The meeting closer! Wednesday night.
We feel that it has been a great suc

prominent and wealthy Spencer mer-1
chant, was seriously shot shortly after
midnight last nightby Yard Engineer C.
B. Williams in the home of the latter on
the national highway near the Spencer
passenger station.
It is stated that Mr. Williams,/who
had been assigned to duty on theTligh
-Point yards and worked until 11 p. m.
Friday night, came home on a passenger
-'train reaching here shortly after 2 a. in.,
and that he went at once to his home as
usual. Entering the home, it is said,
he found Mr. Brown alone with his
wife, and the shooting followed. A .32
calibre revolver was used, and the ball,
according to the attending physician, en
tered high up in the chest, slightly on
the left side, and ranged downward,
coining out through the back.
Neighbors called an ambulance, the
physician, and also mpiested Sheriff J.
H. Krider to come to the scene. Mr.
, Brown, however, had been taken to the
hospital by the physician, where the ex
tent of his wounds was disclosed. It
is stated that while serious the injuries
are not necessary fatal, and it is be
lieved Mr. Brown will recover.
Mr. Williams readily surrendered to
Sheriff Krider who. after conferring
with the solicitor, allowed bond in the
sum of SSOO.
/ When seen at the home early today
Mrs. Williams appeared slightly nervous
but quite pleasant. She stated, howev
er, that she had no information to give
out, that she would not make a state
ment at this time, and that she had no
knowledge of the actual facts as to the
shooting. Mr. and lies. Williams have
been married about 10 years and have
no*, children.
Mr. Williams ivas also seen, but he
also declined to make a statement. He
said, however, that the sheriff and his
deputies, who were on hand mighty
soon after the shooting, could make any
statements they saw fit. He said when
he entered hiy home shortly after 2 a.
in. lie was admitted bj' his wife in the
usual manner.
Mr. Brown, who is prominently
fleeted, has been very successful in busi
ness and has accumulated considerable
property here in the past 15 years.
Upon inquiry at tin* hospital it was
stated that Ids condition is favorable
unless complications set in. bqt that it
is yet too early to determine that point.

Engineer Williams has been iu the
service of the Southern for about 20
years, much of the time as a fireman,
but has beep yard engineer for several
years. He lias many friends who know
him best as “Red” Williams, and num
bers of them have expressed an interest
in his affairs today.
Williams viewed the interior of the
house from windows before going into
the house, it is said, then knocked on
the door, was admitted by" his irife and
in a short while* shot Brown. The
later is quoted as saying, that he was
conversing, sitting down, with Williams

MOTHERS’ AID FUND
Forty-Two Counties Have Already Tak
en Advantage of Its Provisions.
Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 3.—A month af
ter the fund of $50,000 appropriated for
Mothers' Aid by the General Assembly
of 1023 became available on July 1, for
ty-two counties, have taken advantage of
this state assistance to worthy mothers
deprived of their husbands’ support who
are struggling to rear their children in
their own homes, officials of the State
Board of Charities and Public Welfare
announced tonight*
According to their pro rata slia/e,
these forty-two counties are entitled to
$29,322.30 of the fund, it was stated.
This does not mean, however, according
to Miss Emeth Tuttle, Director of Moth
ers’ Aid, that the whole of the twenty
nine thousand • dollars available from the
state for these forty-two counties will
be used, merely that they are entitled
to that much. It is necessary,
plained, for each county to match dollar
for dollar the amount taken from the
State fund.
Counties flaking Mothers’ Aid now,
it is announced, are:
Alamance, Alexander, Anson, Beaufort.
Brunswick, Buncombe, Burke, Cabarrus,
Cleveland, Coltnnbus, Cumberland. Dav--
idson, Edgecombe, Forsyth, Franklin.
Granville, Guilford. Harnett, Hertford,
Iredell, Lenoir, McDowell, Mecklenburg.
Moore, Nash, New Hanover, Orange, Pas
quotank, Pitt, Robeson, Rockingham,
Rowan, Rutherford, Sampson, Scotland.
Stanly, Surry, Wavve, Wilkes, Wilson;
I nion and Vance. Others are expected
within a short time. Miss Tuttle said.
A dozen individual applications for
Mothers’ Aidjhave cdiue in from various
counties to the office of the State Board
of Charities and Public Welfare which
has the supervision of this fund. Only
one has been approved, so far. This
came from Scotland county./ The case
is that of a widow with four little chil
dren,, the oldest of whom is five and a
half. Iler husband diedleaving her with
no means for their support.
“Reasons for disapproval of other ap
plications were in general insufficient in
formation.
“It is the object of the State Board of
Public Welfare in administering Mothers'
Aid in North Carolina to go slowly and
very carefully, especially at first, in (ri
der that only women really worthy of
assistance receive this-help.” Miss Tut
tle says. “A great deal depends on how
the first cases are administered whether
or not Mothers' Aid in North Carolina
is to be a success.”
Application blanks for Mothers’ Aid
made out by the Board of Public Wel
fare' reqtiire detailed information in or
.der that the administration of the fund
be safeguarded, Miss Tuttle asserted.
Most of those received up to now, Miss
Tuttle says, have not been fully filled
out and, hence were unacceptable. To
gether with the application blank for
Mothers' Aid the Board of Public Wel
fanj plansvto send out health record
blanks for mother and children, which,
however, the applicant is not absolutely
required to fill out, slie said. For assist
ance to county superintendents of pub
lic welfare in administering Mothers’ Ajd
Miss Tuttle is preparing a monthly fam
ily budget, including rent. fuel, light
food, clothing and sundries.
The whole spirit of the Mothers’' Aid
Law was misinterpreted by one recent
applicant, according to the Director. A
well to do gentleman reported to be more
than able to support his widowed daugh
ter who lived in his home made appliea*
tion for aid in her name, said Miss Tut
tle.
“Probably he thought there wasn't
any use supporting her any more than
he had to. if Jie could get the state to do
part,"’ said Miss Tuttle. “Os course this
application was refused, as Mothers' Aid
is intended for neatly women.'’'
“N’t* woman with/ children over four
teen is eligible for Mothers’. Aid.” con
tinued' Miss Tuttle. “One application
came in to the Board from a widow, with
two sons, one and the other four
teen in August. She applied in July
and said she' wanted a month of the aid
foP her younger boy, any way. We do
not wish to approve applications for aid
for less than six months, as we feel that
anything less can scarcely be satisfact
ory.”

Thomas A. Edison says, “There is
something wrong with the college sys
tem. I don’t know what the trouble :
that's not my line. ** I can only judge
by the results. But one tiling is cer
tain: the present system of education in
the colleges does not train men to think:
lam in favor of thw college. That is
where I get some of my best men. I
have 60 of them now, but they are 60
culled out of 2.000. That’s a pretty
low percentage, isn’t it?”
Baria, a seaport and important com
mercial town in* Apulia, Italy, lias a
church dedicated u:o the memory of St.
Nicholas (the American Santa Claus).
The church was founded in 1087 to re
ceive the relics of the saint, which were
brought from Smyrna to Lycia. where
lie was a bishop, and which now lie be
neath the allar in the crypt. It was
at Bari that Peter, the Hermit, in 1095,
preached his first crusade.
The old-time pugilists, who not only
fought without; bandages but fought ter-'
rific fight wit# bare knuckles under the
old prize ring rules, seldom injured their’
hands. They punched correctly—with
the knuckles.
“Unless s ’ iptkm dances are bet
ter supervised it may be necessary to re
vive chaperones for young girls who
attend them,” said the in-esident of the
British Association of Teachers of
Dancing recently.
