Despite the dry weat’aer of the past several weeks in Cabarrus county crops are not ruined by any means, in the opinion of farmers here Satur day. , The rain which began falling dur ing the night and continued steadily and slowly for several hours, may change prospects entirely, one farmer said, explaining that the farm peo ple have their crops in good condi tion despite the drought and rain now may give tlie county a bumper crop. “The crops were in need of tlje rain, of course,” one farmer said, "but despite the fact that we have had no rain we have managed to keep the crops growing. Cotton has a good stand in most sections of the county and since we have had a rain during the night, with over-hanging clouds during the day it seems certain that the crops will grow rapidly during the next several days and perhaps for a week, even though we may have no more rain during that time.” Except in few instances cotton has a good stand in the county, it is said, and by hard work and plenty of it farmers have kept the crop growing. Cotton has made much more progress in this county than in some counties further south, it is said, and now that they have had one rain farmers are much more optimistic. They think this rain will do much good and be sides, they hope the dry spell has been broken and that rains will fol low at regular intervals in the fu ture. I Black Bear Killed On the Streets of > Wilmington. Wilmington, June 20.—The first bear hunt conducted in the city since Wilmington's corporate lines w r ere drawn was successfully con cluded early tihs afternoon when a marauding bruin, black of color and weighing more than 200 pounds was shot down by a negro named Miller at Ninth and Bladen streets, follow ing a hectic morning in which the baying of dogs was heard continual ly in the northern section of the county. Bruin, according to the best re ports obtainable, ambled into the city early in the morning. He took a short cut through oakdale- cemetery and was first observed by a negro grave digger who, to revert to the vernacular of the street, “sold out,” giving the bear complete charge of the territory in (which they met. His tools were abandoned as he ran yelling from thdi spot. Hunt for the animal was begun shortly afterwards with every known breed of dog on the trail and dozens of sportsmen armed with rifles and shotguns occupying vantage points, all anxious to get a shot at the bear. It was not until noon, however, that the dogs ran the bear out of the woods and into the city. He entered the yard of Miller’s home at Ninth and Bladen streets and Miller killed the bear with buckshit. j - - Presidential Box For Theatre In Na tional Press Building. Washington, D.

MAN SEEKS SAFETY IN PRISON AT ASHEVILLE Britisher Says Three Assailaints Have Been Trying to Kill Him. Asheville, June 21.— UP) —Federal authorities here will communicate with the British embassy at Wash ington in an effort to investigate the story of Francis Marden, 2G, of Lon don, Eng’aml, who sought protection from his alleged pursuers Saturday night by lodging in the city jail. When the police refused to harbor him for the night he walked to a plate glass door, smashed his first through the glass and then returned to the desk sergeant and asked to be locked up. For the third time Marden told ex actly the same story of his flight from London when arraigned in police court this morning. An embarrassing sit- 1 uation with the wife of a friend while the trio were at a party led to threats which forced him to flee to the United States. After an attempt had been made to shoot him in New York, Marden fled to Tampa, Fla., and then came to Asheville with three men in pursuit, he told the court. About sixty miles from Asheville Friday night he was frightened so badly when his pursuers , attempted to corner him that he ! jumped out of a window of a moving train and spent the night in top of a ' tree while his would-be assassins ■ searched the woods for him. Marden appeared to be sane and j told the court he is a World War veteran having served eighteen months in the British army. He is a brick layer by profession.

DISABLED VETERANS GATHER IN ATLANTA Commander of American Legion Makes Plea For Law and Order Antony Rank and File. MANY VETERANS AT CONVENTION Speaker Says Law AM* mg Citizen Less Secure in His Persons Titan H Was Years Ago. ’ Atlanta, June 21. — (A>) —Appealing for law and order among the rank and file of American C’tizens, National Commander John R. McQulgg ip an address before the national conven tion of disabled American Veterans here today declared that the last few years has seen a general letting down of morals among the American peo ple. Quoting statistics that 11.000 muc wers were committed in the Uußed States last year, wtyieb was fourteen times the number in roat Britain, elev en times as many as in Japan, and five times as many as in Canada. Ckd* McQuigg declared that “our court* and juries are allowing too many crim inals to escape, and today the taw* abiding citizen in some coininqniuea is less secure in his person and ef* feots than he was year ago.” Continuing on the subject of fcgw enforcement the Legion Fommupde? said “If there ever was a time in the history of America when law and order need to be maintained, it is notv. In this country 'we have aupfc laws and just such law enforcement as the majority of the people inuist upon having. If the laws are not en forced it is because a majority of the people are indifferent or too engross ed in their own affairs. And when I speak of law enforcement I am not referring any more to the 18th amend ment than I am to laws generally.” “Parlor bolshevlki. misguided inter nationalists" came in for a rap by Col. McQuigg whom he declared “rail against and decry America and Ameri can form of government. These peo- t pie. both men and women, are trying to belittle more than a eentury of ma terial and intellectual achievements as the world ever experienced* all estab lished, developed and maintained un der the beneficial provisions of au in strument pronounced by one of the greatest of all times and jiot an Amer ican, to be the most wonderful work ever struck off at one time by the brain of man.” Many Attend Convention.

FORMER KAISER WILL KEEP IIIS PROPERTY Germans Fall to Vote to Property Held by Their Former Ruler. , Berlin. June 21— UP)— Tim vast landed estates and other properties of Wilhelm Hohenzollern and other former’German rulers are safe front confiscation. A national referendum to decide whether the properties should be appropriated by the state failed to bring out an affirmative vote qf half of eligible electors, which is necessary under the law. It would have required the affirma tive vote of 20,000,000 people to have taken away the property of the for mer rules. The affirmative vote was 14,889,703, and the negative vote was 542.311. Fully 60 per cent, of the e’igible voters stayed away from polls while 30 per cent, endorsed uncon ditional confiscation. More 000 ballots were declared deficient. Bavaria and other nationalist strongholds rejected the conficcation proposal through abstaining from vot ing.
