Bible Thought For The Day KEEP THE WORD :—Whoso keepeth ? the word, in him verily is the Jove of, God perfected: hereby know we that we ( are in him. —1 John 2:5. —■— 1 ■ 1 ■ —————ggg*■ ! A WISE AND PROGRESSIVE STEP. | 1 The business men have determined, that Concord is to have a chamber of commerce. an org niaation that will , function as only live chambers of com merce function. The work of organising a chamber here was completed at a mass 1 meeting held Thursday night and senti- ' rnent in favor of the proposition is so practically unanimous that i: does not f seem unreasonable to predict for the or ganization here grejjj.. *uccess, not nulv for itself but for thetCity of. Concord. >j Prominent men of the city, men who J have always taken a keen interest in I the growth and welfare of Concord, ar? ‘ backing the chamber. Manufacturers, j merchants, bankers, physicians, retailers, wholesalers, ministers and men of other vocations have pledged their moral as well as their financial support to the proposition and as these men have been successful in the management of their own affairs it seems but reasonable to predict for them success in the manage- j ment of this civic project. Concord lias long needed a chamber of | commerce. It has various social, busi-! ness and fraternal organizations that are doing a splendid work, but their very nature determines that they can't do the work of a chamber of commerce. They are limited in their work and while they are covering their respective fields in a very efficient manner, they are not covering the entire field and tire not ex pected to. The Chamber of Commerce and its suc cess will depend entirely upon the co-op eration its officers are given by the bus- , iness men who are making it possible. It is not enough to pay $25.(10 membership fee and then quit. A spirit of co-opera tion must be shown if the organization is to fully function, and unless it func tions To the fullest extent it will soon • die- It is a question of a real organiza tion or none at all. A make-believe will not do. Many inquiries are addressed daily to j ‘‘Tin* Chamber of Commerce. Concord, j N. CV asking for information about bus iness conditions, fields, for industrial eny ; terprises aud other vital matters. Here-; tofore these letters have been delivered to ■ some other organizations that were not equipped to handle them, but hereafter | they will go to am organization fully j capable and prepared to care for them. j Look at the more progressive cities in this and other States. They have Cham bers of Commerce, and the chambers are vital factors in their lives. The growth of High Point ami Gastonia, for exam ple, is attributed in a large measure to the work of the Chambers of Commerce which have been supported uilVelfishly by the business interests. We are confident that the investment in a Chamber of Commerce for Concord will be one of the wisest ever made. WILL DEMAND PUNISHMENT. A dispatch from Washington reads: "1\ illiam J. Hums, chief of the bureau of investigation of the Department of Justice, said today that he has not re ceived instructions, either from the At torney-General or the Senate committee investigating the Veterans’ Bureau, to investigate charges of corruption which have been the subjects of testimony be fore the committee.” The Asheville Citizen says, “this is not taken to mean that no indictments will be obtaiued against the offenders in question. Hhc Senate committee is doubtless waiting until it completes its inquiries before going after thp guilty. But the dispatch does mean that already the Washington correspondents are feel ing the demand throughout the country for • punishment of those who baye. robbed and otherwise victimized the veterans of the war. Their asking Mr. Burns about the probable action of bis bureau signi fies their belief that the authorities will Lave to stje that these human ghouls are given what they deserve. “That is the desire and design of ev <■*7 patr-otic American. The Veterans’ | • Bureau scandal is one of the most shock . ing disgraces ever put upon this country. 1 The offenses it involves are particularly revolting. They are all founded on the helplessness of those attacker, all com mitted by persons who are cowards as well as crooks. They are without ex cuse or palliation.” The people are stirred up over the charges and facts already brought out in the investigation, all right. There is no question about this, and some one is going to be puhished or a great howl of protest raised. It may be that no one has stolen or “grafted” money intended for wounded and sick soldiers, but it will take a lot of “explaining” to make the people see it. Some foul facts have been disclosed to be sure, and some one should be punished and to the limit, -too. It is bad enough to take government money ! under any conditions, but a man who | would take money intended to relieve the sufferings of men who are still pay ing for their sacrifices in the war should be given everything the law allows. NIGHT LIFE IN THE ARCTIC. Radio messages from the Bowdoin, the ship of the McMillan expeditions, give full insight into conditions in the arctic daring the winter, when there is no sun. The reports indicate that life during the “night" is one sporting event after another. “In order to keep physically fit we have arranged an elaborate daily sched ule.” says Capt. McMillan. “First, we have breakfast at 0 a. ni. At 10 o’clock . there is rifle shooting by starlight on the harbor ice. At 11 a. m. one-mile dog team race: 12 a. m. 50-yard dash; 1 p. in. 100-yard snowshoe race: 2 p. m.. three-legged race: 4 p. in., dinner; 5 p. in., phonograph concert: 6 p. m.. Eski mo and American games; 7 to 9 p. in., motion pictures; 0 to 12 p. m., radio from home—and this last is the irtost enjoyable.” Some may think the explorers are spending a great deal of time in sports, but there is nothing else to do. This is recreation time, and full advantage is taken. Progress in the streams cannot be made, as it is winter as well as “night” there. The Arctic explorers, who are white men. keep in condition by ath letic games while they await the re sumption of their work in the spring. The Eskimo, who were busy hunting and fish ing in the summer, and whose villages were then separated from one another by great open stretches of water, c.-yi now visitiback aud forth, traveling over highways of lee. Conditions in the arctic have always held a thrill, even when read from school and story books, but these stories come closer home now because they have a personal touch in that they come direct from people who are relating the experi ences. OBSOLETE MEANS WHAT? There seems to be an argument now as to what is meant by obsolete. The argument has been brought on through statements by officers of the air division of the army and navy that any battleship afloat <*an be sunk by airplanes. Yet. in view of this statement air men declare they do not say the battleships are ob solete. “I do not contend that the battleship is obsolete,” remarks Chief Patrick of the army air service.” I only say that the air service can sink any naval craft afloat." To the average mind that seems to say about enough to prove that the ship is obsolete, but men of (he navy come back with the statement: “Yes, battleplanes can sink any of our ships, but don't imagine that that makes dread noughts obsolete.” Just what dreadnoughts are good for. if Chief Patrick's statement is true, is a puzzle for the inexpert mind. Perhaps they are good to sink each other. P>ut what benefit does anyone get out of that, if a squadron of airplanes comes buzzing along and sinks the sinkers? What is- obsoleteness, anyhow? The question of definition becomes inportant. in view of the fact that there is a great deal of military authority upholding Chief Patrick's view, aud a dreadnought costs a couple of thousand times as much as a bombing plane. THE JOHNSON BAIT. Senator Hiram Johnson, who is after the Republican Presidential nomination, is offering an attractive bait to the vot ers. He is advocating a reduction in taxes and the passage of the bonus bill all at the same time. In his Chicago speech several days ago Senator Johnson declared the Republi can party should pass the bonus bill be cause it had pledged itself to do so. There is enough money to pay the bonus all right, he contends, aud this should be . done. There is also enough money to allow a reduction in taxes, the Califor j nia Senator states, aud he is going to [tight for this in the Senate. J Very attractive 'Bait for a candidate to be offering. It is calculated to catch many a voter. CONGRESS AGAIN. Congress convenes again today after a recess of several mouths and all those persons who keep intimately in touch with Congresses aud politics in general are of the opinion that the present ses sion will be a very important one. Nominally the Republicans have a ma jority iu, both houses of A Congress;, ’ but , things are not certain now, aud there j is every reason to believe that the “blocs” j will control matters. There are “blocs” jof all kiuds in Congress now. but the .biggest and most important one is a [Senator —LaFollette, who seems to con trol the other members who are listed ueitter with the Democrats nor the the | Republicans. The power of LaFollette j has to be recognized, as much as the regular Republicans have it, and this man is almost certain to wield the whip hand in the present Congress as he did in the last one. At the beginning of the last Congress Senator Lodge and his supporters were certain they would not cater to the Senator from Wisconsin, but they changed their minds. The situation will be much the same this year. Sena tor LaFollette is not expected to line up with the Democrats but he will make the Republicans pay dearly for any alleg iance he gives them. The political future of President Cool idge will iu all probability, be determin ed by the action of Congress. If Con gress acts favorably to the propositions that appeal to the masses, then Presi dent Cooljdge is almost certain to be the Republican standard-bearer in the next Presidential election. If Congress makes breaks, which will be forced by the Dem ocrats and in many instances, by the progressives aud the various J‘bk>es,”' then Mr. Coolidge is not likely to get the Republican nomination. Mr. Coolidge is a man of few words and liis ability to refrain from speech making lias many many frineds aud supporters for liim. But with Congress in session it will not he possible for him to maintain his silence. There is hi,s address to Con gress. for instance, aud then later many questions probably will be left with him to decide. He will have to be the admin istration leader whether he wants to be or not and his action as such will be closely watched. Reduction of taxes and the bonus will be the biggest problems to come before Congress, according to present indiea titous. Officials of the American Leg ion and other service men's organizations declare the bonus will carry. They know what they are talking about, these of ficials declare, and they are positive they have enough votes to put the measure through. On the other hand (here are Republi cans aud Democrats alike who are just as sure that the reduction of “taxes will be accomplished. This will be done, they maintain, sit the expense of the bonus, which will he an impossibility with tax reductions. The session of Congress that comes just before st Presidential election is al ways considered an important and dan gerous one. The session that began to day will be no exception. Many promi nent politicians and officeholders' will be made or killed politically by this Con gress. WARNING TO AUTOISTS. Just in the center of one of its most prominent streets St. Louis has erected and dedicated a very unusual monument. The inscription on the monument reads: In Memory of Child Life. Sacrifices on the nltar'of Haste and Recklessness The monument is a memorial to the thirty-two children killed by automobiles in that city during the year just end ing. It stands out very prominently and very pathetically at a point where traffic never ceases* and where every mo torist that passes may see and be re minded of the terrible toll which reck lessness exacts. It is a very simple monument and a still more simple inscription, yet this memorial carries a message which im presses more deeply than many words of verbal warning or volumes of written advice. Several other cities iu the United .States have erected monuments similar to the one in St. Louis. The idea is a new one and may prove a good one. It [is saves the life of a single person it will prove worth while. DEAD AT THROTTLE RUSHES INTO CRASH Twoscore Injured, Five Badly, When Special Hits Halted Train in Georgia. Albany. Ga., Nov. 20. —With the engi neer dead in his cab —so other railroad men believe —a heavily laden passenger train . speeding south with its cargo of Florida vacationists (ploughed through the rear of another train similarly load ed early today. Two*score persons were injured; five seriously. The Louisville and Nashville's South land Special was halted at Nahuntz, pre paring to he switched to another road.

NEGRO FRUSTRATED IN ATTEMPT AT ASSAULT Girl Held Up at Point of Revolver, But Negro Frightened Away When She Screamed. 1 Winston-Salem, Nov. 35.—A message received here today from King ■stated that an unknown negro late .Thursday afternoon attempted, to assault Miss Virgie White, 16 year old daughter of Edwin White, a well known citizen of King, Stoekes eounty. The girl, it appears, had gone out into a corn field to get some feed for the chickens when the negro appeared out of some woods. He drew a pistol and ordered the giri to stop. She began screaming and her cries were heard by James Williams, who ran to the scene. When the negro spied Williams he fled back jft rhe woods' and was tracked for some distance, but the trail was soon lost by darkness. A posse of citizens was formed this morning and search for the black was resumed. ■ / y To enjoy a thing exclusively is com monly to exclude oneself from the true enjoyment of it. * / THE CONCORD TIMES Chamber of Commerce Organized in Concord Dr. T. N. Spencer Chosen President and Charles B. Wagoner Vice President. Twelve Directors Chosen. J. L. M. SMITHIS MADE SECRETARY Will Also Serve as Treasurer For Present—New Mem bers Are Needed.—About 90 Have Joined So Far. Concord is to have an active Chamber of Commerce. This fact was definitely docided Friday night wnen a mass meet ing was held at the Y. M. C. A. and it developed that 7(5 business men of the eity are behind the chamber to the limit, have agreed to invest their money and time in it. and are' eager to exert their influence to get their neighbors in on the good thing. Permanent officers of the Concord chamber were chosen at the meeting, ineludiqg the president, vice president, secretary-treasurer and directors, and earnest testimonials were given by those present, representing more than two thirds of the present members. that they are behind the proposition in the ful’est measure. The officers chosen are; T. N. Spencer. President. C. B. Wagoner. Vice President. J. L. M. Smith.' Secretary-Treasurer. Directors: F. C. Xiblock, A. E. Har ris. W. M. Sherrill. G. L. Patterson, A. It- Hoover, A. B. Palmer. L. IX Coltranc. L. M. Richmond. C. S. Smart, A. H. Jarratt, H. I. Woodhouse and C. F. Ritchie. All of the officers were chosen by acclimation and expressed a delight, as well as a sense of civic duty, in ac cepting the offices to which they were elected. Mi - . Smith, who has been here for the past several weeks organizing the cham ber. declared that at the time the meet ing started 7(5 memberships had been secured! There are 300 persons in the city who will sign up, he advised, and officers chosen at the meeting pledged their support to Mr. Smith in his ef forts to secure nt least 150 members. In addition ■several of the members signed up for additional memberships, twe’ve new memberships being secured by the canvass made after Mr. Jarratt started the movement by signing up for another membership. Mr. Smith stated that the local cham ber should have at least $4,000 for operating expenses during the coming year. The chamber, he pointed out. does not finance propositions, but it needs that amount to meet local conditions and pay operating expenses. He expressed the assurance that enough money could be secured to raise this amount if offi cers elected at ,the meeting would sup port him. “I came here a stranger and sold memberships to 7(5 persons.” he added, “and if I could do that you people should he able to sell to at least, 74 others,- who know you ami realize that you would not sponsor a proposition that was not all right.” Mr. Smith a'so stated that the chamber is not being organized to get any otic in the eity a job. but is being organized rather to work for everyone in the city. “It will have nothing to sell, no axes to grind.*' he added, “but will make your eity a better place in which to live and a better place for strangers to move into.” Before an organization was perfected short talks were made by several per sons. who lauded the chamber as a general civic asset aud pointed out its need in Concord. These speakers were: Mr. Ritchie. Rev. L. A- Tlionms. Mr. M. IT. (’aidwell, Mr. Nibloek and Mr. Jarratt. They fired the opening guns in the fine meeting which fo'lowed, and there is no question of the fact that the men present at the meeting, were in tensely interested and whole-heartedly behind the proposition. In addition to the men named above impromptu talks were made by I. J. Ferris. I)r. T. N. Spencer, G. Ed. Kestler. G. L. Patter son and J. E. Davis. Mr. Caldwell spoke on “What a Chamber of Commerce Means to a City,” and very vividly and impressively lie pointed out some of the things that Concord had missed because it had no organized body of citizens to boost it and fight for it. The Norfolk & Southern railroad was an example, he stated, and lie added that High Point has outgrown Concord because there was organized ef fort there and none here. He stated that Concord can get a new hotel and the mud holes at the Southern depot remov ed if organized effort is put to work here. “What a Chamber of Commerce Means to Manufacturers” was* the ;subject of a •sensible and spirited talk by Mr. Nibloek- “We hive spent money in advertising this city in a New York newspaper,” he pointed out. “but there is no use to invite new business here if we. haven't an organization to cooperate with the business and otherwise take advantage of the opportunities this advertising gives.” Concord lias made some improvement all along and is now growing very rapidly, Mr. Nibloek as serted. but the citizens have not taken advantage of their opportunities for they have not worked together. Con cord should have a chamber of com merce, he said in conclusion, to go after industries that are moving southward. Mr. Ritchie, in speaking on ’’“What a Chamber of Commerce Means to a Mer chant,” expressed the opinion that “we have been too busy building up our business to work together and help the city.” The day of selfishness is gone, he added, and the matter of boosting is not a one-man's job, but is a job for everyone. Mr. Thomas had as hi*? subject “What the Cit>v Needs” • and ;he was epiphafic iu his'4epln ration that unity' is Pot otiiy ‘a: heed but is a heeds* ity in, stay city. But just as important’ as unity, »e j pride in' one's city." We ’ never get far above what we think of j ourselves,” he pointed out, “and that holds true of a community as well as ; of an individual; We should take great er pride in our city. We should boost it, work for it and talk of it. If we oursel * *** as**.*****#-* * PLEASE NOTE.

That is what the chamber will do. It might not increase your business, but it may increase the business of some one else, and gradually help your city. Your support of the chamber will be a civic service.” Mr . Thomas also de clared that individualism was a draw back, and he advised his hearers ‘‘not to measure missimilarities but to measure likenesses.” Mr. Jarratt declared that ho had been for some time President of the Mer chants' Association and felt that the association was doing a real work, but he advised his hearers not to confuse that work with the work of a chamber of commerce. ‘“The association can’t function as a chamber any more than a chamber could function as an associa tion. They must pull together and there is a need for both in Concord.” Mr. Jarratt declared that the association has received a large number of inquir ies recently, but that it could not give the time and attention to them that a chamber of commerce could and as a mult the city probably has lost new citizens and new business enterprises. “The association will give full coopera tion to the chamber, of course,” lie add ed, “"but it can’t function as one.” It would be “criminal,” Mr. Jarratt con cluded, to miss this opportunity to get a five chamber of commerce here. Mr. Smith, chosen as Secretary- Treasurer of the local organization, has had much experience in chamber of commerce work. He will devote his full time to the work, beginning at once and in addition to continuing his efforts to get new members, will attend to the duties that come under his offices. There has been a need here for a chamber of commerce for years, judg ing by the sentiment expressed at the. meeting and the action taken indicates that the organization perfected will function in a live, progressive manner. Persons who have not been solicited for membership in the. chamber of com merce and who desire to join or dis cuss the proposition should notify Dr. Spencer or Mr. Smith, who will g’adly give them details of the work of similar organizations in other cities, many of which owe their recent growth to, the efficiency of a chamber of commerce. ■ ■ t• STUDENTS DAILY QUESTIONS AND EXCLAMATIONS 1 Gold and Black.

Albemarle Press. Final settlement of the will of the late Rev. C. M. Gentry, involving the sum of approximately $25,000. was made here last week under a consent judg ment favoring the contentious of the Mc- Cain heirs that the wishes of the late Mrs. Gentry were not complied with in the will, which dpalt with property which was in her right. It will be remembered that Rev. Mr. Gentry, a retired Methodist minister, willed the greater portion of the estate I to charitable institutions, leaving about one-eighth to Mrs. Gentry’s heirs—the McCain family—and one-eighth to his bwn heirs, Mr. and Mrs. Gentry having no children. The remainder of the es tate was left as follows: $(>,000 to the Methodist Orphanage at Winston-Salem; SG.OOO for a memorial fund for Mrs. Gen try in the Near East Relief: and SO,OOO to missionary Bible workers. By the judgment pronounced last week the McCain heirvs receive half the es tate, /the remaining half to be divided equally among the three causes named and the Gentry heirs. Mr. and Mrs. Gentry had an under standing as to the disposition of the property and made a mutual will leaving the whole estate the the surviving mem ber, with a proviso by Mrs. Gentry that in case Mr. Gentry should be the sur viving member of the union that at his death her part of the estate should be left to her heirs. Mrs. Gentry died in March, 1018, and Mr. Gentry at the advanced age of 71, followed her July 4, 1022, leaving a will as outlined above. Mr. «nd MV.s. Gentry resided in Al bemarle following his retirement from the pulpit. Mrs. Gentry was a sister of former Sheriff George R. McCain, also of Mr. J. T. McCain, who died some years ago in Texas, and has children liv ing in the west. Mr. Gentry’s death and hi* disposi tion of the property, also the fact of his having been a minister who accumulat ed such a large sum. created wide com ment in the newspapers in the .summer of 1022. The matter proved interest ing to the popular mind aud received quite a lot of attention. When Mr. Gentry’s will was filed for probate the McCain * heirs, knowjng of Mrs. Gentry’s wishes in the matter and having knowledge of the mutual will tiled a oojnplaint. The contention of the plaintiffs, which was accepted by all parties concerned aud the court, was that under a fair in terpretation of Mrs. Gentry’s will that the property in her own name should be disposed of otherwise than in the way designated in Mr. Gentry’s will.
