Red’s mark, which was registered at the expense of crafty bush and yaried slabmen, was .405, according official statistics released here yes terday. It is believed to be one of the loftiest averages racked up in state semi-pro baseball in several years. V Oscar Donaldson, the fiery catcher, who was next to the sorrel topper all the year, was second when the curtain rang down last week. Donaldson car ried an average of .878, being closely trailed by Rabbitt Mottsinger, short stop with .371. McClain, Haynes, and McAllister were just a notch be low, but a little too far down to be rated. Donaldson and Mottsinger also Stood out conspicuously in two base emotes, the former shelling out 19 and Mottsinger histing eight. Donaldson, With eleven, led in circuit smashes.

SO MORE PREDICTIONS ON PRICES OF COTTON 4 - Cabinet Flatly Sets Its Foot Down On Question. —Hundreds of Pro tests. Washington, Sept. 16.—Precipitat ing the longest cabinet session since President Coolidge took office, the South’s protest against the govern ment report, which yesterday sent the cotton marked tumbling $6.50 a bale, resulted today in an order from Secre tary Jardine prohibiting future predic tions of price trends by department of agriculture officials. . The cabinet session, which lasted more than two hours, was followed by announcement late in the day at the White House that Mr. Coolidge regards as hazardous prediction by government departments on the pos sible trend of prices. However, it was said, the chief executive will leave the handing of the cotton, situation to the department of agriculture. Mr. Jardine remained with the President long after others of the of ficial family had departed, and then went back to his office to rescind a statement to the press which had been prepared before the cabinet meeting had held for release on his return. It was replaced by a statement announc ing the secretary’s decision. The original statement, which did not reach the public, made no refer-* ence to future policy, merely outlining conditions under which the bureau of agricultural economies report of yes terday was made and insisting the widespread quotation of a part of the report had unduly disturbed the specu lative markets.” In announcing the restriction plac ed upon the bureau of economics, Sec retary Jardine conformed to demands from cottou producers, expressed through Senator Caraway, Arkansas ; Sheppard, of Texas; and Harris, of Georgia and others. All three insisted that the bureau confine itself to ac tual statistics and under no circum stances make conjectures as to the future trend of prices. Senator Harris also demanded im mediate discharge for the employe re sponsible for the cottou price state ment but it was declared at Mr. Jar dine’s office that no such action would be taken. CAPT. LAUGHINGHOUSE DIES AT GREENVILLE Former State Prison Superintendent And Several Times Representative In Legislature. Greenville, Sept. 13. —Captain J. J. Laughinghouse, 80, one of Pitt coun ty’s oldest pioneers and father of Dr. Charles O*H. Laughinghouse, state health officer at Raleigh, died at his home early* tonight after an illness of several months. A former superintendent of state prison and several times representa tive of his-county in both branches of the state legislature, Capt. Laughing house during his lifetime became known for his political and civic ac tivities and was a prominent figure in many North Carolina enterprises. Said to hold the distinction of hav ing been the youngest captain ever commissioned in the Confederate army, Capt. Laughinghouse served with North Carolina regiments dur ing the war between the states. On April 4, 1864, when the call came for all southern youths who hnd reached their 17th year to re spond to the call of the Confederate army, Capt. Laughinghouse, then lack ing six months of having attained his 17th birthday, sought unsuccessfully to enlist in the Confederate cause. After a number of efforts, a per sonal appeal was made to President Jefferson Davis, of the Confederacy, and a special dispensation made in •his favor enabled him to take part in the South’s cause. Captain Laughinghouse had been ill for several months, although his friends and relatives were hopeful that he w’ould rally from the lingering illness. The end came quietly tonight. In addition to his son, Dr. Laugh inghouse, he is survived by another son, Ned Laughinghouse, of Greenville, and a daughter, Mrs. Frank Quicke, of New York city. TODAY’S EVENTS.

Hit His Baby; Sent to Jail. South Bend, Ind., Sept. 17. — Convicted of punching his infant son in the nose to stop him from crying, • Herbert Stevens. 23, today began serving a term of 230 days at the state penal farm. “I never did love babies,” he told Juvenile Court Judge C. E.

Mrs. Smith Still In Doubt If Infant She la Nursing Is Really Her Child Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 19. —Mrs. Sam Smith, as she lay on her hospital bed today, begged that science put an end Jto her suspense and tell her if the girl she now nurses is her own or if some other little baby has been substituted for the baby boy she thought was hers. Her face showed the strain of doubt she has suffered since August 22 when, after she had given birth to a baby, was told it was a boy and then a few days was handed a girl, which hospital officials said was her child. She fervently looks forward to Mon day when Common Pleas Judge Carl V. Weygandt and a number of Cleve land’s leading physicians will decide if it is feasible to make blood tests of the child and its parents to ascer tain if the baby she now nurses, but which she claims is not her own, is in reality the child born to her August 22. “Always I was happy after my babies were born,” Mrs. Smith said at the hospital today. “We women suffer when our babies are born. "When I woke up after this child was born, I was proud and happy. I couldn’t sleep. I had to tell other mothers in (he ward of my son. The nurse said he was a fine eight-pound baby boy. The other mothers were glad with me. • Then one day the nurse left the baby with me a long .time. Like all mothers, I wanted to see that his little WOMAN AND GIRLS SIT ON MAN INTRUDER Mother and Three Daughters, Sur prised in Home, Trip and Hold Him for Police. New York World. Captured by the combined weight of a mother and her three daughters, whose home he is alleged to have en tered and attempted to rob Monday night, Peter Crow, twenty-five, of No. 245 Logan street, Brooklyn, was held without bail for examination tomor row by Magistrate Hirshfield in Flat bush court yesterday. Mrs. Rae Levy and her two young er daughters, Dorothy and Violet, who live in No. 308 East 52nd street, Brooklyn, went to the movies Monday evening leaving the eldest daughter, Sylvia< twenty-two, at home. Mrs. Levy told police Sylvia was in the back of the house reading. Mrs. Levy says she stepped into the front room and turned on the ►light, preparatory to removing her wraps. Then the light went on, she said, and Crow stepped out of a cor ner and said: “Good evening, ladies.” Mrs. Levy screamed and her three daughters ran into the room as Crow started toward an open window. They caught him, tripped him up and sat on him until police arrived. They had been summoned by Nathan Bloch, who, hearing the commotion from hie room on the second floor of the Levy house, telephoned to the Snyder Ave nue station. ALABAMA MINE IS PRODUCING SOME GOLD Ore Essaying S3O to the Ton Being Secured in New Mine. Heflin, Ala., Sept., 16.—(INS)— Gold essaying S3O to the ton. The steps of old timers as they come in to view operations on the Dew dis covery “south of Turkey Heaven Mountain,” are brisk, their eyes are bright with the unquenchable light of the prospector. As they visit the property of A. J. Ayers, along the line of Cleburne and Randolph counties, about five miles from the famous Arbacoochee gold mines and in close proximity to. two other mines, they dream of the days that are gone; the dayß when a gold rush to Alabama and Georgia did not seem at all unlikely. The new workings are said to be the best paying ever discovered in Ala bama. The vein is cut in several places for about a quarter of a mile, according to reports. In addition, to the gold vein just found, W. P. Ayers, living in the same section of Cleburne County, has recently discovered a mica field on his property. He estimates the field to be about five acres and declared it to be a high grade mica. According to reports a great deal of valuable ore is to be found in this section of Alabama. QUARRY BLASTS KILL THREE MEN IN ROWAN Negro Killed Instantly; Another Fatally Hurt; While Man Dies From Second Blast. Salisbury, Sept. 15.—Three men are dead and another is seriously in jured as the result of accidents at two granite quarries in Rowan county to day. ✓ At the quarry of the Hardaway Construction company at Woodleaf a delayed blast instantly killed J- Robert Thompson, a negro work man, while injuring Alex Correll, negro, so badly that he died several hours later in the Salisbury hospital. The body of Thompson was badly mutilated. This afternoon a simi’ar blast of powder at the quarry of Henry Shive, near Shuping’s Mill, ten miles east of Salisbury, injured Clyde Overcash so that he died tonight in the Salis bury hospital. Henry Shive, farmer and quarry man, was 60 badly hurt in this blast that it was necessary to amputate most of one of his hands. Mr. Shive is 44 years old. Both of Overcash’s hands were blown off and an arm broken. His death came at 10 o’clock tonight. He was 30 years old and survived by a family. He listened intently. Mis wife and her mother were talking. The latter was saying;— “You have indeed secured a splen did husband, and I think you ought to treat him w T ith more tact and con sideration. Don’t always want to know where he is going, and if he comes home late be agreeable and wait until he explains before you be gin asking a lot of awkward ques tions. He’s juet the sort to appreciate any generosity on your part. Be kind to him.” He'stirred uneasily, trying to hear more—then awoke. Show Pictures at Meeting. H. W. Blanks, secretary of the Concord Y. M. C. A., will show mov ing pictures of the Midnight Sun, which he made while in Europe this summer, and will also lecture on the Midnight Sun at the meeting of the Winecoff Community Club Monday night. THE CONCORD TIMES body was perfect and no blemish on him. I played with his little feet and felt his. little legs to see if they were firm and strong. “I wanted to see my little boy when no one was around so I could be sure that there was nothing wrong with him. “Then—came the shock. I was con fused. I called the nurse. There must be some mistake; .ilrey had brought me the wrong baby. The little one in my arras was a girl. I couldn’t understand. I remembered what' the nurse had said to the other mothers. I remembered how the doc tor and my husband the second day talked at my bedside and the doctor was feo jolly as he told my husband about our son because it made such a fine family for us with three girls and two boys. “They called the doctor and then my husband came. They put me into a room by myself and quietly explain ed that there was a mistake, that my child in reality was a girl. But how could it be? “They say they will prove it by blood tests and by the baby’s hands and feet that this child is mine. But always there will be that doubt. How can I be sure? I have always felt my babies a part of me. But no matter what they say this baby will be dif ferent. I can’t feel the same. I can’t be as happly as I was with the others.” MOVIE TO SHOW TEST OF PEE DEE BRIDGE Work of Trying Strength of Swift Island Span Begins Wednesday— Notables Gather for Demonstration. Albemarle, Sept. 16. —The Metro- Goldwyn Picture company and the Pathe News company will make mov ing pictures of the tests that will begin on the Swift Island bridge by next Wednesday or Thursday, Albin L. Gemeny, engineer of the United States bureau of public roads, of Washington, D. C., announced today. Some of the sub-titles of these news reels will be written by local news paper men, setting forth interesting facts about Albemarle and fcltanly county. The Swift Island bridge, which spans the Pee Dee river, connecting Stanly and Montgomery counties, was built about five years ago at a of a half million dollars and is one of the most modern bridges to be found in the country. , The tests will be made with an electrical instrument known as the telemeter, one of the finest and best known to the technical and engineering world. Mr. Gemey has just arrived in Stan ly county and is at the Swift Island bridge with a corps of workmen mak ing preparations and getting the bridges ready for the installation of the testing instrument. O. S. Peters, of the bureau of standards, of Washington, will arrive Monday and install the telemeter. The bridge will be tested at 22 points on the archways. Huge tanks weighing 30 tons have a water capacity of 175 Jons and water will be pumped into them until the desired results are obtained. The paramount purpose of the test is to ascertain whether or not the theortical hypothesis of designing re enforced concrete bridges is correct. Engineers are of the opinion that the information gained through this test will probably enable bridges to be built with less concrete and at a great saving in money. Fifty to seventy-five of the beat engineers of America will be on hand to observe the testing of the bridge when it starts next week. Testing will require until the first of Decem ber. After the engineersare through with their testing, United States heavy artillary from Fort Bragg -will test its big guns by shooting at the bridge from nearby hills. At this time all traffic will be restricted from a cer tain area for miles around. After the artillary is through with the bridge, T. T. dynamite will be used to blow the remaining pillars into dust to be washed away by the murky waters of the Pee Dee. The Swift Island bridge was de signed to support or hold up 650 pounds to the square inch, but it is believed that it will hold up 3,000 pounds or more to the square inch. The bridge is only guaranteed to hold up a 15-ton capacity truck, but the test will show how much greater capicity it will take. Tweuty-two points are to be tested which will require several men to read the various dials of the instrument at the same time. One reading will be tested each day until the 22 points have been tested. The big water tanks will be towed about from point to point on the bridge by means of a • tenton tractor. It is not expected, however, that any of these tests to be carried out by the engineers will crush the bridge. The water tanks are only supposed to crack and dislocate slightly the big archways. The battery of artil lary will have the job of destroying the bridge. It is said that the boom ing of the artillary will be heard 30 and 40 miles distance from the scene of the shooting.

The Tribune Bureau, Sir Walter Hotel. BY J. C. BASKERVILL. Raleigh, Sept. 16.—Whether or not there is any significance in the visit paid to Franklin county, and Louis burg, the couty seat, by Edwin B. Bridges, Commissioner of Pardons, res. main* to be seen. But his presence there one day this week, indicates to some that he may have been making an investigation into the circum stances surrounding the invasion of the town of Louisburg by a masked mob on two different nights last week, seeking a negro boy, Weldon Bryant. The mob failed to find Bryant, who was charged with having entered the home of a white farmer named Per ry, evidently with the intent oi at tacking Perry's wife, since the sher iff in Franklin couty, hearing mat trouble was brewing, had removed Bryant to the State’s prison here be fore the arrival of the mob. Although there was considerable shooting into the air. by the 40 or 50 members of the mob, who had demanded the keys to the jail, and which the jailer re fused to give up, no violence was done. However, two nights later, the mob returned again, closed down the power plant and cut off all the lights in the town, and again demanded that the jail be opened, so that they could search for Bryant. But when assured again that Bryant was still in State's prison in Raleigh, they again departed. However, despite the fact that the mobs did not accomplish their pur pose, which would undoubtedly have been to lynch Bryant had they found him, it is well known that Governor McLean is firmly opposed to mob violence of any kind, and that he would be Inclined to regard the at tempt of a mob to take a prisoner from the hands of the duly consti tuted officers as serious a breach of the law as if they had actually suc ceeded in obtaining their man and lynching him. It will be recalled that Governor McLean has never hesi tated to act to suppress mob rule wherever it has arisen, and that some 14 members of an Asheville mob were convicted, many of them still being in prison. Thus when it became known that Mr. Bridges had spent some time in Louisburg talking with the suenn and his officers, it was assumed that he was looking into the circumstances surrounding the mob, and the steps that were being taken to identify some of the members and bring them to justice, rather than that he was investigating the circumstances of the Bryant case. For it is not customary for the pardon commissioner to in vestigate a criminal case until after the prisoner has been tried and con victed. Thus it seems likely that Mr. Bridges w-as making a preliminary in vestigation into the actions of the mob, and this w r as being done to bring its members to justice, rathere than into the circumstances surrounding the arrest of the Bryant negro. While it has been more than a week since the mob appeared at the jail a second time, and turned off all the electric lights in Louisburg, press reports indicate that little or no ef v fort has been made by the county of ficers toward investigating the affair ani learning the identity of the mob members, and that while several de puties and officers saw the mob and talked to some of them, all these say they have no idea of their identity. Neither has any reward been offered by the county commissioners for any information that might lead to the identification or conviction of any of the mob members. Though the Governor’s office Ois c aimed any knowledge of any in vestigation by the state or by Mr. Bridges, some are inclined to see in the visit of Mr. Bridges to Louis burg an indication that the State does not intend to let mob rule run riot with no effort made to apprenend those^esponsible. Whether the state will undertake an independent investigation in Franklin county, or whether it .is merely seeking to assist the Franklin county officers in running down the members of the mob, remains to he seen. But there is no doubt that something is in the air. Chinese Name For Lindbergh. Chicago, Sept. 16.— (A 3 )—Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh has another namesake. He is One Long Hop, a little baby born a few days ago in Chinatown. His Chinese parents, im pressed by Colonel Lindbergh’s feat, wanted to name their baby boy aftqr him, but they wanted a name with a Chinese ring to it. After much thought the name was chosen today. Stanly May Get Young People’s Episcopal Camp Staply News-Herald. We learn with interest that a com mittee of the Episcopal church in the Diocese of North Carolina is seeking a site suitable for a summer training camp foe their young people, and that they are investigating our section with that in view. For five years they have had such a camp at Little Switzerland, and have met with much success, but have found that location too inacces sible to the Eastern part of the Dio cese, and are therefore, seeking a sit able location nearer the center of the : r work where they may build per manently. We should like very much to see this camp located in our vicinity. It would mean the presence every year of from 75 to 150 young men who come from some of the best families of the State, and who will be among the fu ture leaders of our State —and dur ing the girl’s camp, of an equal num ber of young ladies—to say nothing of visits to the camp of parents and friends. We understand that they wish to secure from 10 to 50 acres of timber ed or partly timbered land in a pic turesque location, preferably in the MELLON SIDESTEPS ON HUGHES* BOOM Story That He Had Launched It Stire Commotion at Capital and a Guarded Denial. Charles Michelson in New York World. Washington, Sept. 19. —A publish ed statement that the return of W. L. Mellon to Pittsburgh, after a con ference with his uncle, the Secretary of the Treasury, had launched the Hughes boom caused considerable com motion about the Treasury. The Secretary let it be known that while he might favor Mr. Hughes from a personal point of view it did not mean that he would be behind him if he became a cand : date. There was caused to be issued this solemn de nial from the smaller Mellon after a telephone conversation. “Mr. W. L. Mellon denied that he made any statement for himself or as coming from Secretary Mellon, his uncle, relative to the Presidential sit uation.” The apparent truth of the matter is that it is not desired to flush the Hughes candidacy so early. Hence the declaration of Secretary Mellqn that V-s last word was that Mr. Ilughei was not a candidate, a state ment he accepts with as much faith as he does Mr. Ooolidge’s announcement that he does not choose to run. The politician’s view or sltua tiontion is that Hughes—or Hughes’ friends—think his best chance for the nomination is to pursue the same pol icy of aloofness that is being follow ed by Hoover. If he lets the other fellows fight for the delegates there is a strong probability that none of them will get enough and that in dissolv ing the deadlock it will be easy to turn to Coolidge, and if Ooolidge is not there to be turned to, that the milling delegates can readily be cor ralled for Hughes. As it was ingeu'ously put forth by those who depreciated the publica tion of these stories, they might force Hughes to make a statement, which he should not do at this time. There is nothing in the announce ment that Secretary Mellon is tak ing no stand in favor of any candi date at present and will not do so until - what he conceives the proper t ; me, that in any way makes it im probable that when that time arrives he will be found advancing the inter ests of the former Secretary of State. The Pennsylvania delegation is to present the name of Andrew W. Mel lon as its candidate. Mr. Mellon makes light of that, saying he is not apprehensive that the nomination will come to him. The delegation will be h'fl to dispose of as he sees fit. It was also denied on Secretary Mellon’s behalf that he is taking a hand in the shaping of the course of ( the Republican convention. The feet remains that he and his nephew, the titular Republican boss of Pennsylvania, at least of Western Pennsylvania, discussed politics dur ing the recent visit of the latter, but it is stated that this conversation con cerned generalities and not personal ities. It is rather difficult to picture a discussion of the Presidential cam paign without mention of the various men who are looking for or are threat ened with the nomination. In fact, that is all there is to talk about in connection with the campaign. Mr. Mellon’s position is that so long as Mr. Hughes says he is not a candidate, there is no justification for the report that he is throwing Penn sylvania to Hughes. Continue Drills Despite Heat. Davidson, Sept. 16.—Despite the intense heat which beat down upon Richardson Field Thursday afternoon, Coaches Younger and Tilson refused to slow down the drills through which they have been sending their Wildcat proteges during the past two weeks. Regular drills in tackling, dumping, charging, and running followed by a strenuous scrimmage left the David son candidates looking wan and hag gard as they left the field late in the afternoon and sought relief under the cold showers. Coach Younger spent the greater portion of an hour instruc ting his backfield men in the art of forward passing. He is making a desperate effort to train his backs to receive passes, but chances of an ef fective aerial attack being developed at Davidson are still slim. Barely a week remains until the Wildcats officially open the 1927 seas on against the Citadel in Gastonia, and the Davidson coaches are not intending to slacken their pace until they are confident that their men have been fully conditioned. Broadway. “The Great White Way is fifteen miles long, but if you have the stuff you can beat it from both ends to the middle.” Tell your newsdealers in ad vance that next Sunday you want a copy of The Sunday World. When you get it, sit right down, open to the Magazine Section and read “Broadway lin’t So Bad” by Berton Braley. This story is number three of the first run New York World’s short stories and is a tale of Broadway with a kick in it. It will be necessary for you to heed this notice—order in advance from your newsdealer.

Lexington, Sept. 17.—The textile manufacturing industry of North Carolina can profit only by looking ahead, says J. M. Gamewell, of ington, president of the Cotton Manu facturers’ association of North Caro lina. Mr. Gamewell urges the manufac turers to set up revolving funds to be used for the purpose of granting scholarships to mentally able, ener getic, -ambitious textile workers who would otherwise find it extremely dif ficult to continue their education be yond local high schools. He speaks in commendation of the textile department of North Carolina State college and the trade and in dustrial division of the department of vocational education of the state. As to child laDor "the Cotton Manu facturers’ association of North Caro lina has consistently stood for rea sonable, proper and wise regulation of so-called child labor, and has on occasions advocated restrictive meas ures that would prevent the employ ment of children of tender years. “Our opposition to the employment of children of such age or under such conditions as might entail injury to the youth of our state has been based upon both humanitarian and economic ideals. “Needless to say the amendment to our North Carolina child labor law adopted by the late general assembly will have the hearty and effective sup port of every member of this associa tion.” He says there are “gross inequali ties” existing in the appraisal of tex tile properties for local taxation in various sections and counties of the state.
