Fry miracu’ou'vy escaped serious injury and it* now at liberty. The girl was being ! taken to the Mecklenburg Industrial school at Charlotte when she took the daring lenn from the car beyond Albe marle. Officers at first thought she might have been fatally injured and died near the scene of her escape, but nothing has boon seen or heard of her after a di’i gent search. Sheriff Fry now believes the girl hid heive 1 f until they had left the scene then returning to the road she waited until e passing motorist picked her up and took her out of the vicinity. The Moore officers since then have been called upon to seize another girl I who had escaped from the same institu- I tion. She was Nell Hampton, about IS yeftrs of age. pretty, vivacious and un usually intelligent. She escaped from the school by cutting through a screen door with a knife and then lowering herself t< the ground by the aids of sheets. The girl assigned her downfall to the dancer-'“Before I was married.” she told i Sheriff Fry. “T had never taken- a drink. My husband always took in the dance* and it was there with the so-called ‘best people’ that I began taking social drinks.” Wild living followed culminat ing in the series of disasters, and then a divorce.

Aug. 1. —With strong legal support and influential civic oacking. the Dixie Motor Stage line, operating a de luxe service between Charlotte and Greensboro, gave a vigorous accounting ! when summoned before the corporation i commission today to show cause why its I franchise rights should not be revoked- The Dixie and two other Grecnisboro- Charlottf operators had beeu picked for sacrifice in furtherance of the commis sion’s plans to reduce seven unprofitable motor lines to four money-makers. The seven companies now '.operflting are ad mittedly losing money. In the hearing today, the Dixie put up such a fight and presented so logical a case that its attorneys were hopeful this afternoon that it would be allowed to continue its franchise. It has 00 odd thousand dollars invested in equipment which it is using between Greensboro and Charlotte. After four hours spent in the hearing ; of evidence in support of the Dixie’s •laims that it should not *have its franchise revoked, the corporation com mission reserved its decision, indicating that it would act next week. By then, it is e»i>ectod, a new schedule will be work ed out. perhaps chi}o«mg the half hour lieul*~ \JpiyfvveeM the. two *ities. ( The bu< companies desire an i hourly schedule.

American Legion Rendered Service . Unprecedented in Nation’s History Natchez. Miss., Aug. 3.—The member- a ship of the American Legion, as repre- li tentative inen and women of the Repub- t lie of the United States during the great g World War, rendered a service unprece- e dented in the history of this nation, Maj- f oc George L. Berry, former national vice i commander of the American Legion, de- a elared in an.address before the Mississip pi Department of the American Legion g meeting here today. This service was in « the form of contrlDutions to the cause i of democracy at home and abroad in “the t world, he said, and was an act that j brought to au ending the possibility of i autocratic control. * The efforts of these men and women of 1 the American Expeditionary forces were i ■ responsible for “the greatest inspire- t i tion for human liberty and justice that i ■ has beeu recorded since the formal decla- | 1 ration of Independence of the Republic iof the United States.” . . 1 "The American Legion is an institu- i tion proposing the co-ordination of those men and women who rendered this great a nd far reaching service to . humanity i and who brought to a conclusion the most gigantic war that had ever been waged. It is. therefore, reasonable to understand tfie far reaching strength in sentiment and respect in which this body is held by the citizenship of our country and the peoples of all of the nations associated with the allied cause.. “These men and women, who now speak through the American Legion, are insistent upon making further contribu tions to the well being of America. They have manifested their affection for the Republic. They have established their courage and sponsorship for justice and it is,, therefore, not too much to antici pate that the destiny of our Republic and its many communities will, to a great extent, rest upon the shoulders of these ex-service men and women. ‘‘lt is unwise for U 6 to conclude that the world has adjusted itself from the tremendous shock of the World War, for indeed there is turmoil about us at home and it is raging with a more or less de gree of intensity in most all of the na tions of the world. The steadying influ ence of the American Legion has ex tended itself into all of the nations that were associated with the allies’ cause PUBLISHED MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS CONCORD, N.

In addition to the vetch seed, much bur clover seed has been ordered and Mr. Broom stated that the acreage in this legume would be materially increased. 11 ! “The drouth.” said Mr. Broom, “has caused a great reduction in the lespedeza crop but lands formerly planted in this are producing good crops of corn and cot ton.

The men and women of the Legion believe in Am erica. They removed any doubt as to the soundness of their belief by engaging in the greatest and most hazardous con test known in all time; and in believing in America they believe in its form of government. “The Legion is not blind to the exist ing iniquities, ignorance, selfishness and antagonisms in America because they ob viously exist, and it is not a surprising thing' since we are populated by de scendants from every nation upon the face of the earth. “There is less poverty, less ignorance and less selfishness in America than ih any nation in the world. There is more business, ti greater sense of independence and a higher economic standard than that prevailing in any nation of the world. Because wq are convinced of the soundness and the practicability of our form of government, however, due to this very character of government, we elect to make America better and more responsive every day to the well*being of our civilization as a whole. “The American Legion is made up of men and women who fought in the W orld War. It does not look upon them as bankers or as laboring men, as lawyers or as trade unionists, but it looks upon them as comrades who made the fight and assisted in bringing it to a successful conclusion. It looks upon them as Am ericans who have demonstrated beyond the slightest question their lives, their affection for their country; and in this way they are now and will continue tc be prepared to render their all in behall of the cpnsehvation of that which they believe to be the best form of govern meut in the world —America.” THINK ABDEL KRIM ILL NOT ATTEMPT PEACENEBOTIATIONS His Aim Seems to Be to Try to Hold On Until Rainy Season When Campaigning Must Halt. FRENCH USETHE TANK EFFECTIVELY French Need More Troops if They Drive Riffians From the Strongholds They Now Occupy. Fez, Aug. 3.—Tanks are proving high ly effective in the French reconnaisances along the Franco-Riffian battlefront. A flying column by a tank de tachment is feeling the lay of the land towards Asjen, northwest of Ouezzart, and "lias scattered with little difficulty re bellious tribesmen who sought to toppjLe its progress. All information received at the French headquarters here confirms the opinion that Abdel Krim has no serious inten tion iof entering into peace negotiations. 1 His aim appears to be to try to hold out I until the rainy season when campaigning j will have to be postponed until next; year. The task of attacking the Riffians in , their mountain positions and decisively | beating them within a month is one of the considered propositions for which still further French reinforcements are needed.
