Washington, Sept. 1(5. —'President Coolidge. in* a message to the. people of the United States today, expressed his deep gratification at their generous , re sjionse to the appeals -from the suffer ers in earthquake stricken Japan. ’ “Tlie prompt and generous response of the American people to the urgent needs of a friendly nation in time of great distriess has been most gratifying,” the message said. "When the news of the tragedy in Japan first reached us the American Red Cross, pursuant to a proclamation, asked the country for .$.7,000.00 to meet this great emergency. The answer to this «appeal was prompt and . generous ; in less than two weeks a sum far in ex cess of the original goal was given. "At the close of this successful cam paign I wish to extend to the people of tlie United States my dee]) apprecia tion for this manifestation of their generosity and their willingness at all times to answer the call of suffering humanity.” Although American people originally were asked for $5,000,000 returns to Red Cross headquarters tonight totalled $8,000,300 in cash and pledges and a great jump in the fund is expected, from collections taken in churches through out the country todav.

Wil liam from Texas, to old home. Concord and vicinity, is still fresh in my mind and will linger on memory’s tablet until the final summons. My visit was a protract ed one but was necessarily so in order to reach numerous relatives, sister, neph ews. nieces, cousins and a /nultitude of friends of former years. My brother and I had been separated for more than fifty years, and together we had a royal good time on the old stamping grounds. Many that we knew in boyhood clays have long since handed in "their checks” or in modern parlance have "gone West.” but in their departure many of them left a rich legacy in noble sons and daughters with whom it was a "feast of love and a How of soul'' to commune. Bonaparte the night before his final de feat at Waterloo nexr day. said: "On with the dance. let joy be unconfined." so, leaving off the dance, my heart and soul were thrilled with tender emotions and joy was uueonfined for three months as I communed friend with friend. Our itinerary was not hedged about with the territory of Cabarrus, includ ing Concord and Kannapolis, but we forged across tlie line into Albemarle. Charlotte and IMneville. At every point visited that~broad generous spirit charac teristic of the Scoteh-lrish and Dutch met us. and we found it to be good to be there. Concord’s Oldest Citizens. 1 mu glad, t 0 n "Je that while? the har vest of death in tlie city for a few years past lias been great, there are still quite a number lingering on the shores of time. Rev. Dr. L. A. Bikle, ripe schol ar. was for a time president of X. C. College at Mt. l’leasant, and for years pastor of St. James Lutheran Church, is in liis eighty-ninth year. The doctor is still quite active and his mind alert. Jas. W. Hill is still living at eiglity tliree. but is quite feeble. Mrs. Sallie Ferguson tit eighty-six is well preserved , and her mind quite active. "Aunt” Becky iHnithfock is eighty-six, but not vigorous. Mr. Joe White is eighty-six and able to make his rounds. There may he other octogenarians but I have not a list and from memory I can’t recall. However, it may be said i that the soil, climate jinil water of Ca barrus county is conducive to longevity. Only recently it will be remembered that Col. James X. Brown and Mr. Dan Stil (]<>r. both of whom were nearing the cen tury mark, passed away. and Crops. 1 have always known there was much productive soil in Cabarrus county. bu( I nty recent visit through portions of the j best cotton and corn belt, was an eye opener. The cotton and corn was pro lific and wheat was fine. The old-time j farm implements have been relegated to j the junk heap, and new and greatly im j proved tools and machinery have been substituted. < >l opera. The old-time relig ion and songs were good enough for Paul and Silas, and they are good enough for me. Without indulging in pessimistic views I am forced to think that the church (all denominations) have in a measure departed from "the faith once delivered to the saints.' The social fea ture as to organizations is worked over time and spirituality lies dormant under the pressure. It there ever was a time when a wave of pure, uudefiled religion was needed in the world, that time is now. MONEY IvOST 22 YEARS RETURNED TO OWNER Fayetteville Man (Jets $l4O He Lost in Fayetteville in 1901—Negro Found It. Fayetteville, Sept. ls». —One hundred and forty dollars which I). W. Rarfield lost on the streets of Fayetteville 22 years ago came back (o him yesterday in a letter from Water Valley, Miss. The money was turned over to L. W.

The negro had I lived in Grenada county. Miss., and that tpld Mac Key that he thought the loser his name was Barfield. Inquiry failed to locate the owner there, but, meeting with .1. E. Barfield recently, Mac Key was advised to .write p> the Fayetteville man.
