THE CONCORD TIMES
N. A. BLACKWELDER
RETURNS TO HIS HOME
(Continued from Page One)
neighbors later. On inquiring from
one of the local policemen when he
could catch a bus to Salisbury, he
was interrupted by a tourist inquiring
the way to that city. The policeman
asked the tourist if he would not car
ry Mr. Blackwelder who would show
him the road. This \vas agreed to
and Mr. Blackwelder vanished in a
car with' a Tennessee licence.
The fact that he did leave in a
tourisfcis automobile gave rise to all
sorts of strange rumors in Concord
when it was learned that Mr. Black
welder had disappeared. One man
even went so far as to declare that be
passed him on n road just at the
North Caroliua-Teuuesaee line. Ilis
family feared that he might have met
with foul play.
When he left the cjty there was in
Ills pocket, only seventy dollars. He
is one of the more prosperous fanners
in the community but believed that
would be sufficient to take h : m to Mo
line and keep him till he had secured
work.
Going to Salisbury, he there pur
chased a ticket direct to Moline by
way of Chicago. Food was high on
the train and so lie ate but little.
However, when he reached his desti
nation, he procured n good boarding
place which gave good meals so he
lived high while there.
After a day’s stay in Moline, Mr.
Blackwelder, in pursuance of his plan
to see the west, went over to St.
Louis where he remained a day.
Then he retilfned to Moline where
three days were spent in looking for
work. The nearest he could come to
getting a job was a promise of work
on the week following but this seem
ed too far away so he pulled out and
went to Indianaiiolis. From Indian
apolis he went on to St. Paul, where
lie eventually ran out of money and
wired home to relatives for money
with which to return home.
As Mr. Blackwelder took no bag
gage, he had to purchase underwear
and shirts as he traveled, and he also
procured a small hangbag in which to
carry the soiled ones.
Leaving St. I*aul Monday night, he
reached Salisbury in the middle of the
afternoon and as there was no train
till night, he rode n bus to Concord,
daughter had been in the city
looking for him but when he did not
come in on the train, she went back
home. As soon as he could get to a
telephone, he called the home and told
them to come get him.
Tis grandson. Elba Faggart, a boy
in his teens, reached his grandfather
first. The two shook hands and Mr.
Blackwelder said: “Hello Boy.” lie
then resumed his conversation with
the people gathered around. His
daughter. Miss Vernie Blackwelder,
next came up and they shook hands.
“Well, pa,” she said, “aren’t you
glad to get home?”
“I don't know,” he repelied, “not so
glad. I guess,”
Later, the family was all seated on
the porch of his home and the ‘con
versation was only partially concern
ed with Mr. Blackwelder’s trip. Mrs.
Blackwelder told of her journey to
Texas and Oklahoma. She was in
terested. however, in learning about
his food and water. He declared that
the water was almost as good as it
was at home except for the fact that
it was “awful warm.” He just didn’t
see how they could feed like they did
for what they charged. Why. he
said, he could get a square meal for
35 or 40 cents anywhere and it was
just a plenty. They had chicken but
he did not eat that because he want
ed something lie didn’t get at home.
Only odee did lie eat a drum-stick.
On his trip, he was lost a number
of times in the cities but it was easy
to get right, he declared, because he
would ask a policeman who was al
ways nice about directing him. Ev
erybody was friendly, said Mr. Black
welder. and helped him on his trip. It
seemed like he had known the people
he met all his life, they were so nice.
He wouldn’t live in any of the cit
ies if he had a chnftce, he added.
They were just too dirty aud crowd
ed. And it was so easy to get lost.
St. Paul was an old. dirty place, he
said, in recalling incidents of his
journey. Indianapolis was a clean
place with wide streets aud he was
only lost once.
Had he not lost his nerve, he would
have gone to New York. He had al
ways wanted to go there -but he was
just a little afraid to try to get
there.
Mrs. Blackwelder wanted to know
if lie had enough money for the re
turn trip. “I sent him .$3 more than
lie asked for in his telegram,’’ she
said. ,
She then told of how on the Sat
urday afternoon when he left, she
looked for him about dark but con
cluded that he must have waited for
some of the neighbors, who were re
turning late. Once a car stopped at
the foot of the hill and she thought
he had come back. When he did' not
come, she sent two of her children to
look for him, thinking he might have
lmd a stroke of apoplexy. When he
failed to come back by morning, in
quiries were begun and it was dis
covered that he had disappeared. And
all the time Mr. Blackwelder was
gone, we were that worried, said she,
that there was hardly a thing eaten.
AH the. pies just had to be thrown
away and the chicken would last #a
couple of days.
Mr. Blackwelder, on his part, said
lie was feeling fine and declared that,
as soon as he had a bath and put on
clean clothes, lie would be all right.

HARRISBURG BOY BITTEN
BY DOG SUPPOSEDLY MAD
Crazed Animal Jumped Out at Robert
Harris, Six, As He Went to Get
Cows From Pasture.
Robert Harris, six-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Harris, of Har
risburg, was bitten by a dog, sup
posed to have been mad, Monday eve
ning when lie went to the pasture to
get . the cows.
When the serum for the pasteur
treatment failed to arrive Wednesday
morning, plans were made to take
him to Raleigh for treatment. The
serum came just prior to the time
lie was to have gone, however.
The boy had started to the pasture
Monday evening and was passing a
ditch when the dog jumped up and
began biting him. He ran screaming
to the house and his parents made ef
forts at once to get the serum for
him.
No trace has been found of the
dog and for that reason it has been
impossible to ascertain whether or not
the dog is mad. No chances were be
ing taken and treatment was given
as soon as it arrived from Raleigh.
Wonderful Com Crop in Eastern
North Carolina.
Raleigh. Aug. 19.—OP)—William A.
Graham, commissioner of agriculture,
who has just returned from a trip
through eastern North Carolina, re
ports “a wonderful corn crop” in that
section of the state.
“Tliere will be a great surplus on
the market in eastern North Caro
lina.” declared the commissioner,
“while west of Raleigh, in certain
sections, the farmers have suffered
keenly from the effects of the drouth.
Consequently they will, in many in
stances. be forced to buy corn to
enuble them to make the 1926 crop.
“Here is where the division of mar
kets can render a great service in
finding a market for the corn for sale,
also in assisting those in the drouth
districts.”
