WHEELER’S HISTORY
The Second Edition of 1.000 Copies
Is Practically Half Gene.
Hickory, X. C., Sept. 7.—OP)_j> o .
raand for copies of Colonel John
"Wheeler's history of North Carolina,
‘ long since out of print, is being met
by the John Hoyle chapter, Daugh
j rers of the American Revolution,
sjionsored by the state organization,
through Mrs. E. L. Shufford, of
Hickory, state historian with the ro
publication of I,(hH) cipn.t?, which
were readily disposed of ttirough ad
vanee subscriber®.
The second print of 1,000 copies is
practically half gone.
Wheeler’s history of *hts state is
the only standard one thi state bn«
poKSessed, it said. It was written
by the author at his home ac Beatty's
Ford, in Catawba county, and covers
the period from 1584 to 1861. The
work is preserved in many libraries
but for a number of years additional
copies have not been obtainable.
At the fctate convention of the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion held in Asheville in 1024, the
scarcity of copies of Wheeler’s his
tory was brought to the attention of
the women, and plans for its repro
duction were advanced by Mrs. Shu
ford. Her projrosal received the
hearty endorsement of the body.
The reprint of the original addi
tion. with 20 pages extra and a
foreword by Mrs. Shuford, contains
the names of state officers of the D.
A. R. from 1019 to 1925-27; the,
government of North Carolina for
1025; and the names of the judicial i
and administrative execeutive de
partments. Tt also embraces lists of !
the members of the lower house of the
legislature for 1925, by counties; |
senators, by districts; ami the gov- j
ernors ofthe state from 1851 to the
present time.
Otherwise, the book is an exast
reproduction of Wheeler’s history,
with the first and second volumes
bound in one. It contains 620 pages.
The hook was published by Frederick
H. Hitchcock, New York.
The military and civil service
records of hundreds of North Caro
lina pioneers are to be found in this
old history. In many case, the dates
of births, marriages, and deaths are
given, information to be found no- !
where else, in some instances.
Mrs. Sbuford was urged to include
in the volume historical facts which
would bring the history up to date,
from 1851 to the present time, but
her decision was to leave the history,
in the main, k» its original form. The
inclusion of appropriate data con
cerning the present state government
was perhaps the only department
from her desire to reproduce the
book ju6t as it originally appeared.
HARD SURFACE ROAD FROM
LYNCHBURG TO CHARLOTTE
Probably Longest Stretch of North and
South Improved Highway in the
United States.
Greensboro, Sept. 4. —Directors of
the newly formed Piedmont Highway,
Inc., held their first meeting here to
day and made plans to get the
public the advantages of the route
from above Lynchburg, Ya., through
Danville, Greensboro and Charlotte
and down into South Carolina. The
directors of the highway claim that
this is the only entirely hard surface
rote running entirely across North
Carolina from north to south and
possibly the longest stretch of north
and south highway in the United
States.
The directors considered another
duty and task —that of protecting the
rights and pleasures of travelers who
choose this route. An educational
program will probably be started in
order to attract tourists along this
route and to safeguard them in their
travels.
SHELBY'S POPULATION
DOUBLES IN FIVE YEARS
An Official Census Shows Population
Now Totals 8,854 Compared With
3,609 in 1920.
Shelby, Sept. 4. —From 3,600 peo
ple in 1920 to a population of 8,854 in
3925 —that is the official history of
the remarkable progress Shelby has
made during recent years. An offi
cial census, made by the department
of commerce, completed here this af
ternoon gives Shelby a population
double that of 1920. Five years ago
with over 1,500 people extra. Only
five years ago there were just 8,40 J
people living in No. 6 township.
Now more than that live in Shelby
alone The rapid growth of Shelby
in the past five years, more than
doubling in population, is character
istic of the wonderful advance being
made in western North Carolina. The
pace continues here and another
doubling is expected by 1930.

Parts of Wreckage Have
Been Photographed So
That Points Shown by
Them Can Be Studied.
Caldwell, 0., Sept. 7. —Labor Day
saw no cessation of activity planned
for the dismantling of the Shenan
doah's wreckage, that the United
States navy wants for its study of
aeronautics.
Late yesterday besides cutting up
the preckage to procure the desired
parts, men, working under the direc
tion of the board of investigation,
also took photographs of the wreckage
from every angle. .
The salvaged parts are being crated
up for shipment to the naval air sta

REMOVAL OF VALVES
EXPLAINS DISASTER
Zeppelin Works Thinks There Were
Insufficient Values For Discharg
ing Gas.
Friederiehshafen. Germany. Sept.
5. — The report from America that
eight of the safety valves were re
moved from the dirigible Shenan
doah before the fight which ended in
her destruction is regarded at the
Zeppelin Works here as a logical ex
planation of the disaster.
It is believed that the dirigible was
hampered in maneuvering after the
removal of so many valves, as the
remaining ones could not discharge
helium gas kuickly enough when the
ship was forced suddenly to a high
altitude.
The Zeppelin directors also believe
that the valves in themselves were
too small as they were intended for
hydrogen, the specific gravity of
which is less than that of helium.

county with their drinking water in
bottles because of the drought having

—Both the Franco-Spanish forces and
the rebellious Moroccan tribesmen are
preparing for a grim struggle. It
becomes increasing evident t'iiat Abd
el Krim, the Moroccan leader, ap
parently is by no means appalled with
the prospect of trying conclusions in

PRESIDENT TO GO
TO CAPITAL SOON
Will Return to Washington in Bet
ter Condition Than at Any Time
Since He Has Been President.
Swampseott, Mass., Sept. 7. — UP) —
President Coolidge is going back to
Washington later in the week, assur
ed by his physicians that he is in bet
ter physical condition than at any
time since entering the White- House
two years ago.
Eleven weeks of rest and recrea
tion on the shore here, with official du
ties taking a limited period of each
day, appeared to have put him in ex
cellent shape for the winter grind in
the capitol. Mr. Coolidge hits the
scales at 161 pounds and while he is a
bit heavier than when he was Vice
President, he has not gained weight
during the summer.

CONFESSED SLAYER
OF GIRL IS BEING
- HELD BY OFFICERS
Harrison Noel, Son of New
York Lawyer and For
mer Inmate of Asylum,
Admits Killing Girl.
RANSOM REASON
FOR THE DEED
Led Officers to Spot Where
He Fired Bullets Into
Her Body as Though
She Were Only a Post.
Montclair, N. J., Sept. 7. —(-4 s ) —
Having confessed that he kidnapped
and murdered six-year-old Mary Daly,
Harrison Noel. 18, son of a New York
lawyer and formerly a college stu
dent and an inmate of an insane
asylum, was held in jail here today.
The motive for the kindapping was
ransom, but why the girl was killed
is not clear. Part of the confession,
is withheld by authorities. Noel con
fessed he also shot Raymond Pierce,
a negro taxi driver, to get an auto
mobile different from his own, and
then shot and wounded another chauf
feur who gave chose after the kidnap
ping. At first it was thought that
a negro had abducted the girl.
Grinning and with a tingle of boast
fulness he stood over the girl’s body
in a elum of bushes on Preakness
Mountain. Little Falls, N. Y., to which
he had led the police, Noel said:
“Well, I put two bullets into her.”
The body was laying face upward.
Mary’s hands were crossed on her
breast. There were bullet holes in
the head and neck. Noel said he
led the girl out of the car at 2 o’clock
Saturday morning. Too frightened
to utter a sound she was left stand
ing while he backed away and fired
many shots as if at a fence post. Then
he dragged the body into the under
brush.
Noel escaped June 28th from the
Essex county insane asylum at Over
brook, where he had been confined at
the request of his parents February
23rd. He was believed to have suf
fered a mental breakdown from over
study. For a short time he rad been
a student at Harvard, but had left by
request of the University.
O
Babe Ruth Back in Game.
Boston, Sept. 7. — UP) —Definite as
surance that Babe Ruth, New York
Y'ankee slugger, would appear in the
lineup against Boston today was giv

from Fenway Park. At the same
time it was stated that one game
starting at 3 p. m., would be played
instead of the scheduled double-head

NO CHANGE TODAY
IN WATER SUPPLY
OFFICIALLY
Artesian Well Being Used
as Means of Increasing
Supply, But There Is No
Decided Change.
MUST CONSERVE
WATER ON HAND
Persons in CityJMvised to
Be Careful as to Waste.
—Standpipe and Reser
voir Are Both Filled.
Water continues to be a scarce ar
ticle in Concord. The supply, while
remaining practically unchanged at its
source in Cold Water Creek, is still
scant and continued clear weather
gives no indication of any relief from
the shortage which the city is experi
encing.
In an effort to enlarge the supply,
one of the artesian wells, the one at
the Water Station on Kerr street,
has been connected to the system and
was used for a time Saturday evening
and night. The How from this source
is only tlrrty gallons per minute
and gives only small relief from the
shortage.
The air line at the artesian well on
the Central Graded School grounds
was broken and it has not been pos
sible to connect this yet. Work has
been dene on it today and it is proba
ble that it may be used by Tuesday.
A little more water was noted in
the creek this morning, according to
Supt. L. A. Fisher, but he was dubious
as to any continuation of the increase
in the water, declaring that by night
it would probably be back to its orig
inal size.
Persons in the city are asked by
the water officials to conserve as much
as possible the water during this cri
sis. Until heavy rains fall, there is
no prospect of any additional supply.
DEATHS ON DECREASE
But Number of Births in North Caro
lina Continues to Grow.
Raleigh, Sept. 7. — UP) —The num
ber of births in North Carolina con
tinues to grow, while the deaths are
on the decrease.
This is shown by figure* compiled
by the State bureau of vital statis
tics. The first six months of this
year showed an increase of births ov
er the same period in 1924, and the
comparative figures for the two pe
riods show that there were fewer
deaths in the state during the first
half of this year.
The bureau’s figures show a total
of 42.030 birtrs in North Carolina
during the first half of 1924 as com
pared with 42,197 for the same period
this year, the increase being 167.
The deaths during the first six
months of 1924 numbered 17,746.
Deaths the first half of this year to
taled 16.828, a decrease over the same
period last year of 918.
Os this number of deaths—for both
periods—the bureau estimates that 3,-
0(H) were infants, that is babies under
one year. In other words,' of the
42,030 babies born during the first
six months of 1924, 3,000 of them
are dead now.
And not less than 250 of the moth
ers of these 42,030 children born dur
ing the first six months of last year
ha-ve died during the year, the bureau
figures show”. /
LABOR DAY VERY QUIET
WITH STRIKING MINERS
Spent the Day Very Much as They
Have Spent Days Since Strike Be

Philadelphia, Sept. 7. —OP) —An-
thracite miners spent their Labor
Day holiday in about the same man
ner as the other idle days they have
had since the coal production was sus
pended September Ist.
In some places, notably at Wilkes
Barre. there were picnics of union
men. At Wilkes Barre Thomas Ken
nedy. international secretary-treasurer
of the United Mine Workers, and for
mer president of one of the anthra
cite districts of the union, was to
speak late in the day. He was' ex
pected to talk on some of the issues
involved in the making of a new wage
contract, especially the check-off which
provides that coal companies collect
union dues.
In most towns of the hard coal
field the day was observed quietly.

RENE VIVIANI. THE
FORMER PREMIER,
;:es ir hospital
He Had Been El For Two
Years From a General j
Breakdown.—End Came
Very Peacefully.
COLLAPSED WHILE jM
AT WORK IN 1923
Believed Death Ws Hur
ried by Death of His ;
Wife. Served France :
With Honor.
Paris, Sept. 7. — (A>) —Former Pre
mier Rene Vivians died today. Death
occurred in the Malmaison Sanato
rium whore M. Viviani had been con
fined for the past two years suffering
from a general breakdown. The end
came peacefully after a long period
of extreme feebleness.
The former premier collapsed while
pleading for a case in court on June
8, 1923, and was said at -that time
to be worn out with work and grief
over the death of his wife, a few
months previous.
Rene Viviani, ex-Premier of Francel
and internationally famous lawyer
and statesman, was the most renown- !
ed of the public men given to the
French nation by her young colonies
in Africa. Born November 8, 1863
in the thriving little village of Sidi Bel
Abbes, in the interior of Algeria—
which was itself born of the brilliant
French conquest—Viviani came to be
known through the years of his polit
ical life as a man who embodied in
their truest sense the principlea of
liberty, equality and fraternity upon
which the French Republic was found
ed.
His advanced views on social and |
religious questions naturally drew ‘
him definitely into the Socialist move
ment just then beginning to grow rap- jj
idly in France. He saw the needs of
the laboring and law salaried classes;
he fought with them for a readjust- |
ment of their social conditions; he won
the confidence of farmer and wood
man voters in picturesque Auvcergne; ;
he brought into being the old-age pen- *
sion laws, then he became the first
Minister of Labor, and it was upon the
shoulders of the workers he befriend
ed in those early days that he was 2
carried to the high positions he after
ward held in the political affairs of the
Republic.
