E. C. Black, after taking treat ment for bums for six weeks at the Presbyterian Hospital at Charlotte, has returned to his home near Cabar rus. Mr. Black was seriously burn ed at Cabarrus when a bucket of burn ing gasoline was thrown on him. For several weeks it was thought he could not live. Dr.'Bost says his in juries will not be permanent, which statement makes the scores of his friends happy that ihis good citizen will be restored to and sound ness. Deßerry Connor is building a dwell ing house on his farm which lies on the Charlotte-Albemarle highway. Prof, and Mrs. Bain. Lefler have rented rooms for house keeping from Sam Black, where they » will live while teaching in Bethel school. W. H. Hudson has bought the Mc- Eaehem corner lot at Flowe’s Store and is building a nice bungalow on it, in which he and Mrs. Hudson wili live. The congregation at Bethel had a pleasant surprise last Sunday when the high school students at a Cost of $57.60 donated a handsome commun ion set to the church. The set con sists of three silver trays containing 36 glasses each. The students as sisted by Worth Green and Miss Ethel Eudy, earned the money to buy their gift by giving a play, charging the public a small admission fee. TMr good act indicates the fine spirit of the student body, and is deeply ap preciated by the membership of the church and clearly demonstrates the fact that real Christian service has not perished from the young life of the community. After recessing for two weeks the Bethel school opened for the fall term with an enrollment of 94 high school students, more will enter a little later. The outlook for the seFool this year is very encouraging. Tvo new studies have been added to the curriculum this year, increas'ng the faculty from nine to eleven teachers. The teaching of Agriculture and Home Economics places the school on the accredited list and under the guidanlee of Prof. Lef ler and his corps of able assistants, the patrons are anticipating a good term this year. There were four graduates from the school last year. They were: William Bost and Kendell Eaves and Misses Clair Barrett and Jessie Pope. H. FAITH. We attended the big celebration of the opening of the Salisbury-Albe marle road at Ritchie’s Lake Thurs day. There we met lots of our old friends. We met A. C. Runnicut r ed'tor of the Stanly News-Herald, one of the best and cleverest men in North Car olina, who had charge of the program. The speakers all made fine talks about our good new road and the counties connected by it. It is a pleasure to travel over this road now. The editor of the Salisbury Post made one of the best addresses we have heard in some time. Here are the names of some of the people we met at Ritchie's Lake: L. A.

TULIP. “FLOATING ROAD” MAY BE ANCHORED SOON Hoped That Famous Road in Camden County Can Be Made Permanent. Raleigh, Sept. 16. —The famous “floating road’’ in Camden county, which has long been a thorn in the flesh to Elizabeth City and Camden county residents, is at last to be thoroughly and it is hoped permanent ly anchored. This became known here today when it was larned at the Highway Commission that the engineers had been definitely instructed to proceed with the rebuilding of the entire road, known as Project 110, which extends in a northwestward direction from the Pasquetank river bridge at Eliza beth City. “Sinking road” is really a better name for the road than “floating road,” since about a mile and a half or two miles of this highway has slowly been sinking into the, marshy bog over which it was constructed. At the time it was first built, it was thought that an ordinary earth fill across the marsh would support it. But it did not, with the result that the road actually sunk below the water line in spots. In 1926, CSO feet of the roadway was rebuilt, taking care of the worst “sink holes,” and during the past year two strips of 1.800 feet, or 3.600 feet in ail, have been rebuilt. This still leaves 5,153 feet, however, that has not yet been rebuilt. But orders have just been given by Frank Page, chairman of the conAnission, to pro ceed with the work on this remaining stretch, the work cannot be completed until next spring or sum mer. The new road will in reality be a bridge, rather than a road, since it will be supported entirely on piles. These piles, from 50 to 60 feet long, are driven down on each side of the present “sjnking” road, and then cap ped with concrete. Girders are then placed upon the piling, and the plank ing for the floor of the roadway plac ed upon these girders. The plank floor is then coated with a bituminous surface. Although tests have shown that the swamp is about 90 per cent water to a depth of 30 feet in places, the piles are driven down far enough to find a. firm foundation, so that they will be able to withstand the load. While it is expected that the piling for the entire road ean be driven this fall, it will not be possible to complete 'the entire project until spring. The road will be kept passable, the en gineer* say. IRISH FLYERS ARE FORCED TO ABANDON FLIGHT Could Not Make Progress in Face of Head Winds Over the Atlantic. Dublin, Sept. 16.—Faced with hetd winds sweeping at 40 miles an hour, Captain Robert H. Macintosh and Commandant James C. Fitzmaurice, in thp monoplane Princess Xenia, when already over the Atlantic On projected non-stop flight to New York, were forced to turn back to Ireland and made a safe landing six miles south of Bally Bunnion, county Kerry, 'at 6 o’clock tonight. The airmen who hopped off from Beldonia airfield, Dublin, at 1:36 p. m., braving the tragic fate of recent transatlantic flyers in an attempt f r o be the first to make the westward passage by air were uninjured and went to a local hotel. Bally Bunnion is a seaside resort on the south side of the mouth of the river Shannon, about 50 miles south of Galway bay The landing of the aviators at the little seaside resort four and a half hours after they had hopped off with high hopes and eheery farewells, meant failure for another east-west trans atlantic flight, but it was failure with out loss of life. THE CONCORD TIMES ♦ \l/ Mx si/ V# / VI/ U, VI/ V|S \a/ J/ si/ ft ft ft AGRICULTURAL COLUMN ft ft ft ft R. D. Goodman, County Agent ft ft ft ♦ ONE GOOD DAIRY BULL GOES TO BLOCK EVERY 8 MINUTES Dairymen Should Raise Their Best Heifer Calves As Good Cows Are Scarce. It is unfortunate for the dairy in dustry that good bulls are sent to the butcher along with the mediocre and scrubs when their service is no longer needed in the herd- A careful esti mate, says Dr. J. C. McDowell, of the Federal Bureau of Dairy In dustry, shows that really high-cias* dairy bul’s are going to the butcher at the rate of one every eight minutes from daylight to dark every day in the year. How to stop this great slaughter and keep these bulls tor a lifetime of service is one of the great problems in dairying today. A study of cow-testing association records shows which are the good bulls and which the inferior ones. But, unfortunately, by the time these records are available most of these bulls have been slaughtered. Doctor McDowell says that it is of little use to learn how good a bull was after he is dead, so he is urging that some system of exchange be started at once among owners of well bred bulls in order that such animals may be kept until the daughters have demonstrated their sire’s true value. ALBEMARLE-SALISBURY PAVEMENT IS OPENED Large Crowd Gathers at Ritchie’s Lake in Northern Stanly for Cele bration. Albemarle, Sept. 15.—The largest crowd which ever gathered in north ern Stanly assembled at Ritchies lake' today for the picnic put on by the people of Stanly and Rowan counties in celebration of the completion of the new paved highway connecting Albe marle and Salisbury. Nearly all the speakers on the program were present with the exception of Commissioner Wilkinson, of Charlotte, who failed to get there. Among those who made talks were J. F. Hurley, editor of the Salisbury Evening Post; Charles A. Reap, su perintendent of public schools for Stanly county; Rev. C. P. Fisher, of Rockwell; Ralph Shaver, of Misen heimer ; Rev. Ray Trexler, of Rich mond ; ,T. F. Shinu, of Nomood; Q. E. C. Coble, chairman of the board of commissioners of Stanly and H. E. Rusty, chairman of the board of com missioners of Rowan county. Most of those who spoke as rep resentatives of their towns expressed sentiments favoring a closer friend ship and more agreeable business re lations between the people of the two counties. This was especially true of Editor Hurley's address. Young Mr. Shaver, of Misenheimer, assured all that they might drive right through Main street without fear of being pinched for speeding, and all theaters are closed on Sunday, he said. Misen heimer. is the smallest village on the entire highway. But Misenheimer ships worlds of cord wood and young Shaver did not fail to avail himself of the opportunity of boosting his little home town as the cord wood center of this section of the state. “We keep the home fires burning,” he said. Mr. Shinn, of Norwood, stressed the importance of highway No. 80 and urged all to help in getting it paved all the way from Mount Airy to the South Carolina line below Wadesboro. Highway No. 80 crossing the state down the Yadkin valley is the natural north-to-south highway crossing the state and the most im portant highway in the state crossing from Virginia to South Carolina, he told those present. After the speaking a big dinner was spread on the long table built in the grove of fine oaks, but the crowd was so large that the “eats” vanished like frost before the morning sun, and some were forced to leave the grounds hungry. Prof. Sid Ludwig was present with his tine band and inspiring music was not lacking. In the afternoon the Bad'n-Alhernarle male quartet sang a number of pieces. These songs quick ly brought hundreds around the speak ers aland, where they stayed as long as the singing lasted. A. C. cutt, of Albemarle, acted as master of ceremonies, introducing each speak er with appropriate words keeping the large crowd as nearly in a pleasing manner as possible on so hot a day. FOREST FIRE CONDITIONS IN AUGUST IMPROVED Fewer Fires and Less Damage Shown In Report Just Compiled. Raleigh, Sept. 16.—The report on forest fires for August just compiled by the State Forest Service shows a great improvement over conditions earlier in the year. Fires are report ed from only one out of the five districts* in which protection is being carried on. District No. 3, including the southeastern counties of the State, reports a total of sixteen forest fires, 11 of which are said to have been started by railroads, three by smokers, and two were of unknown origin. The growing efficiency of the Forest Protective Organization eaa be gauged by the fact that these 16 fires burned over a total area of only 141 acres or less than nine acres for each fire. The total damage reported was only $245. In August 1926, 38 fires were re ported covering a total area of some 10,000 acres and resulting in damage estimated at $98,000. The improve ment is largely due to a difference in weather conditions, but the 16 fires would no doubt have soon covered a very large area had not quick work on the part of the forest warden* been accomplished. With this new record to eneourag the service, all efforts are new being bent towards intensive preparation for the fall fire season, which will soon be present. Wants Boys To LAve Pigs- Waycross, Ga., Sept. 16. —(INS) “There are lots of lessons and valu able ones the young boy and girl «»> the rural community can learn, but one of the outsanding bits of schooling attempted in Ware county has been to teach the club boy and girl to ‘love a P ig -’ ” , „ D 7 xhis is the comment of Dr. K. J • Heyde, Ware County agent and one of the most widely known livestock men in the South. “It is remarkable how the young farmers respond to the work of the pig club,” Dr. Heyde continued, “it has been a revelation here what the benefit* of introducing pure bred stock through the medium of boys' and girls' clubs would affiount to.” Hectic Winter In U. S. Politics As Result Os President’s Edict By KENNETH CLARK. . International News Service Staff Correspondent. Washington, Sept. 17.—1 t promises to be a hectic political winter both in and out of Congress. Already befuddled by President Coolidge’s famous “I do not choose to run” statement, Washington is faced with a congressional session in which politics will play a paramount part. Every major legislative issue will be tested in the political cruicible to determine whether it be productive of votes in the approaching presiden tial year. Congressional leaders are preparing to cut the legislative program to a minimum. The chief issues will be Mississippi flood relief, taxation, farm relief, Boulder Dam, and a plethora of lesser proposals. Some leaders feel they will be lucky if they get through flood relief and taxation legislation before Congress adjourns in June for the nominating conventions. Fight Tax Reduction. The big political fight will be over tax reduction, always a pregnant issue for the vote seekers. The Ad ministration is planning a reduction of approximately $300,000,000, with the greatest benefit to go to the medium salaried taxpayers. Democrats contend that a $500,- 000,000 cut, because of the well fortified position, would he too high. Somewhere betwaiaa these two figures a compromise is expected to be reached. Unless the debate is too protracted, leaders hope to have the tax bill ready to apply to the March 15 income tax payments. All hands are fairly well agreed on the need for flood relief, but there will be a fight over the amount of money to come out of the Treasury Biggest ‘‘Gate” In History Seen For-Tunney-Dempsey On Sept* 22 By COPELAND C. BURG. International News Service Staff Correspondent. Chicago, Sept. 17.—It's the drama of the thing ! That’s what the “crowd experts” and psychologists are saying about the Jack Dempsey-Gene Tunney heavy weight title bout here Sept. 22 in predicting the fistic “grand opera” will draw the biggest fight gate in history and one of the most colorful throngs since the gladitor days of ancient Rome. Whether Tunney or Dempsey wins isn't the prime motive in the intense demand for seats. Most of the fans, inspired by the promise of a spectacle and a desire to mutter, *“I was there,” already, days before the encounter, have caught the promised and its at tendant enchantment. A dethroned champion is trying that great American thriller—a comeback. A champion is risking his crown to a former holder. The greatest crowd, .the biggest purses, a superb setting, a master showman—Tex Rickard, the promoter, are combined in this—the Flo Ziegfeld extravaganza of the ring. Receipts Over Million. That the crowd will be numbered in hundreds of thousands—counting those who fail to gain entrance to the arena —and the receipts in the millions —is indicated by an advance sale of tickets claimed to be the largest in history. It is the middle west’s first big title bout in years and it is to be staged in a country where the challenger is a popular favorite. Thousands of wes tern fans, long admirers of Dempsey, are clamoring for a chance to watch Minister Is Charged With Kidnaping Pastor Who Was Sent To Succeed Him Columbus. Ga., Sept. 16. —With Bishop Goen of the Methodist Epis copal church, north, en route to assist authorities in their search for Rev. Willis J. Jordan, missing pastor of the Second Avenue church here, of ficers today continued questioning of Rev. A. V. Noble, charged w’ith kid napping Jordan. Noble preceded Jordan as pastor at the Second Avenue church and was dismissed by the congregation on Sep tember 6. He refused to give up the parsonage when Jordan arrived and was removed through a dispossessary warrant. Rev. C. B. Netherland, a retired minister artd member of the church's congregation quoted Noble as having remarked that no man would live to fill his pulpit. He has Elephant, Angry at Jazz, Routs Player; Ragtime Upsets, Classics Lull Monkeys Philadelphia, £ept. 19.—Poetre, a Asiatic at the Philadelphia Zoo, blew a trunkful of water over an orchestra wh'ch had come to ,play for her in behalf of sci ence. The act was done during the play ing of a rag-time piece. Poetre, chain ed ten yards from the orchestra, de liberately raised her trunk and aim ad at the musicians. Poetre blew’ and the rag-time piece ended with a dis cordant burst a* the musicians fled. The orchestra played for the ani mals so that C. Emerson Brown. Di rector of Zoolog cal Garden, could re cord their actions. Classical music achieved a victory over jazz in the monkey house. The first rumbles, squeaks, chirps and Florida Woman Perishes When Sedan Plunges From Road Into Lake Summit Hendersonvilel, Sept. 16. —A searqh is being made tonight at Lake Sum mit, next Tuxedo, for the body of Mrs. J. R.

The unusual accident occurred about 9:30 o’clock tonight. Mr. and Mrs. Berekbickler had been out for a drive ind were returning to Hendersonville, when something went wrong with the ar. He stopped by the side of the to aid the stricken South. ♦ Another battle royal is in prospect over farm legislation. A coalition of western and southern members may force through again a revised McNary- Haugen bill. The Senate will use up considerable time with the Vare-Smith election cases. Observers here believe both wil! be denied seats. Debate on the presidential situation will fill many pages of the newspapers and the congressional record. Poten tial candidates are as thick as birds in the presidential woods. Republican candidates have hesitated to come out in the open because of the ambiguity which still exists about the President’s “withdrawal” statement. Many lead ers are not convinced that Mr. Cool idge cannot be drafted although he will not campaign actively for re nomination. The Big Five. The “big five” among the Republi cans are Charles Exans Hughes, form er secretary of state; Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce; Nicholas Long worth, speaker of the House; Vice President Dawes; and Frank 0. Low den, former governor of Illinois. Without doubt, Governor A1 Smith of New York is the leading Democratic candidate. Upon his ability to swing over the South will depend his chances for nomination. He is strong with the eastern 'Democrats, and probably will go into convention with more delegates than he had at Madison Square Garden in 1924. Senator Reed of Missouri and Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland are considered good bets, but, like Smith, both are wets. The drys among the Democrats have not concentrated upon a candi date, although Governor Donahey of Ohio is spoken of in influential dry circles. their ring choice in an attempt to battle his way again to the title. Dempsey’s bout against Willard in Toledo, his clash at Boyle’s Thirty Acres with Carpentier, the beloved Frenchman, his flights against Firpo and Sharkey in the East and even his battle with Tommy Gibbons in colorful Shelby, Montana, had none of the glamor and “staginess” of the Chicago bout, with its millionaire com mittee backing, its powerful “buildup” in public interest and its unusual setting. In Soldiers’ Field. The site of the fight, Soldiers’ Field, is in the heart of Chicago, just off the main business section. The scene is a vast open-air arena, beside the white-capped waters of Lake Michigan. The ring will be in the center of a huge garden of seats, row on row, stretching between the two huge stone arches at either end of the grounds. Immense searchlights will flood the ring. But even so only those with the best seats, costing from S3O to S4O, will be able to freely glimpse the battlers. The $5 seats, located at the top of the tiers around the edge of the field, will not permit a close-up of the battle, unless the fans are aided and abetted by powerful field glasses. But apparently the spectators are not worrying about how Dempsey or Tunney fights or who wins. Seekers of the $5 seats are more numerous than all others. The spectacle and drama of the mighty crowd —that’s the urge ! denied the charge of kidnapping. Mrs. Jordan claims two unidentified men spirited her husband aw'ay, after calling him to the door on pretense of talking over church affairs. She says she has not seen her husband since and knows of no motive for the kidnapping. She told newspaper men today she could not identify the abductors. Jordan came here a few days ago from Birch wood, Wisconsin. He is said to have held pastorates in many states and to be a native of Missouri. While living at Birchwood he carried on evangelical work in Canada. Bishop Goen was summoned here by Mrs. Jordan and members of the congregation. It was his appoint ment that sent Jordan to the charge here. bleats from the instruments as they were tuned up in the monkey houAe brought consternation to the occu pants. Noticing the diverse reactions, the musicians tried each instrument aepa rately. So the drummer tapped on his drum and the monkeys cowered in cornero of their cages in evident fear. Then the violinist s*ung his bow over the strings and instantly the monkeys became quiet. But when the baas viol grunted out a few notes, the monkeys gazed at each other and at the instrument in seeming amazement. They crowded to the bars and blinked their eye* as if trying solemnly and with all the power at the : r command to- under stand. lake and cot out to see about the trouble. While making adjustment he asked Mrs. Berckbickier to move some of the mechanism of the car and it is evident that she either released the brakes or touched the starter. The big sedan suddenly leaped across the highway over the 40-foot embank ment, plunged into the 50 feet of water as the husband stood by pow erless to stop it.
