The health of our folks is pretty good at this writing , We all regretted to hear of the sad accident that occurred Thursday, Sep tember 15th, with H. B. Shive and Clyde Overcash. Both were working at the rook quarry on Mr. Shive’e place. They had loaded two boles and tired them with a battery, and one of them did not fire and they did not know it so they churned them out to shoot again. But the one that did not tire went off and injured them «o bally they did not live long. Mr. Overcash died the same day, and Mr. Shive died Saturday at 9:45 o’clock. Both were married. Mr. Overcasb was living on Mr. Shive’s place. He is survived by five little children. Mr. Shive had six children. Both were members of Or gan E. Iv. Church, where interment was made. Mr. Overcash was buried on Friday and Mr. Shive on Sunday. There were between 2500 and 3,000 people at largest one we ever saw. We all went to sympath ; se with both of the fami lies. Thi« makes five people in this community that were killed at the rock quarries in less than a year. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Park, of near Shuping Mill, are both wearing a big smile along now. It is a boy this time. Born September 18th. Miss Ruth Honbarger, of near the Yost schoolhouse, planted a tomato stalk the 17th of March and took one of the»e tomatoes and planted the seed and is eating tomatoee now off of its stalk. Venus, if you can beat that, trot it out. Mr. and Mrs. A. Sloop, of China Grove, hadf all of their children to come in and have a home coming day. They were all there with their wives and husbands and children. We all had a nice time together and had a fine dinner which all enjoyed. Grover Brown and Miss Helen Jones, both of Fa ; th, were married several weeks ago. Guess they thought Old Happy would not find it out. but fool him if you can. We w ? isb for them long and happy lives. Lawson Safrit. of Faith, is the champion horseshoe pitcher in this community. He rung the stake for 18 times without missing. If anyone can beat that trot out your pitcher- G. H. Trexler and several others took a fishing trip several weeks ago and cn their way they killed a rat tle snake that had 15 rattles and one button.

Goodman, County Agent Ik $ $ * ************ Fertilizer Makes Wheat Growing Profitable. That wheat is an important crop to grow in North Carolina and Virginia is evidenced by the fact that in these two states the farmers sow more than a million acres each year. Although many farmers produce from 25 to 50 bushel* of wheat per acre, as a rule, the yields average from 10 to 14 bush els per acre. This fact shows that the farmers are not using enough plant food to make the growing of a wheat crop profitable and it seems essential that the yields be greatly increased iu order to gain much profit. To increase the yields of wheat, it is necessary to put into practice the best type of farming. This will in clude the use of seed of high yielding qualities suitable to the region ; ‘ the treating of seed for smut; careful preparation of the seed bed; sowing the seed at the correct time (else to the middle of October as possible) ; sowing enough seed and using enough plant food so that the plants will not be stunned in their growth. Most farmers, recognize that the above are all essential for producing a large crop of wheat. The one thing that is probably neglected more than any other is the application of enough plant food to produce a large yield. In North Carolina the Exper iment Stattion recommends for wheat from 300 to 500 pounds per acre of a fertiliser analyzing from 8 to 12 per cent phosphoric acid; about 4 per cent ammonia and 3 per cent, potash. On clay soils in a fair state of fer tility, they do not recommend much potash. The Virginia Experiment Station recommends an application of from 300 to 400 pounds of a fertiliz er analyzing 12 per cent, phosphoric aoid; 4 per cent, ammonia and 4 per cent potash on sandy soils. Where the wheat is grown on clay soils which are in a high state of fertility, they 1 recommend 2 nor cent ammonia and 2 per cent, potash. Putting into practice gooff farming methods and furnishing enough plant food to grow and mature a large wheat crop will be a profitable undertaking Write a Story.

STANLY COUNTY GOING AFTER ROAD PAVING 4 ——— Launch Movements to Have High ways 74 and 80 Hard-Surfaced. Albemarle, N. C., Sept. 22.—Stan ly County may get two new hard surfaced highways- This information was learned last night following tin anuauncement from several organiza tion6 which propose to back tin movements. The highways which th people wish to get paved are State Highway 80 from Albemarle to Wadesboro, and State Highway 71 from the Montgomery County line on the East to the Cabarrus County line on A the West. Many citizens navi voiced sentiment in favor of these projects. The movement for the extension o’ Highway 80 was firat voiced las Thursday by J. F. Shinn, of Nor wood, at the celebration of the com plction of the Albemarle-!S«iisuur> Highway. Mr. Shinn stressed tin value of Route 80 and ask'd for i sentiment to see it through in hard surface at least to Norwood on th? Anson county line, which would pu Norwood on the hard surfaced hig'i way. John H. Norwood, prommen Norwood citizen, stated here thi morning that the movement was n ceiving hearty approval of the Nor wood Business Club, and that tbe\ would discuss the matter at thei; next meeting to be held tomorrow evening. The civic clubs and the bu*i ness and professional men of Noi wood are behind the movement on hundred per cent. The second highway, proposed to be paved is one of the heaviest travel ed roads in the State. It is a section of the Charlotte-Raleigh Highway from the Montgomery county lin< (Pee Dee River), in the East, through Albemarle to the Cabarrus count} line in the west. This road is now oiled from Albemarle to the Mont gomery county line and i* hard-sur faced from Troy to Wadesville- Tuts day the contract was let to har surface this highway from Wades ville to the Stanly County line, leav ing Stanly “out in the cold.” if thi highway is not completed in this county. From Albemarle to the Cabarru« county line the road is nothing but t; sand clay surface. It is very dusn in summer months and as a rule Ii bad shapq during the winter spasm: Cabarrus county has paved this high way to the Stanly county line anr' only recently paved the strip through their county on the Albemarle-Char lotte Highway. The hard surfneting of these higli ways will meet the approval of all th. people of Albemar’e and Stanly coun ty. It is said the matter will likely be discussed at the meeting of the Lion- Club this evening. John B. Havris newly elected president of the Albe marie Merchants Association, and A I Senders, secretary of the same or ganization. Stated ’ast night that they were in favor of the movement t< get these highways paved and that the merchants* of Albemarie and the county would be one hundred per ceni behind the movement. i . . Davison and Citadel Evenly Matched. Davidson, Sept. 22.—Dopesters are finding it difficult to pick a probable winner ; he Davidson-Citadel grid iion cla *7c, which is to be played in Gastonia Saturday afternoon. The task of the dopeeters is made doubly difficult in view of the fact that this is the initial game of the 1927 season for both elevens, and the first en counter between the two colleges since 1923. It is significant to note that the Citadel i* weak in that department of the game in which Davidson is strongest, and strongest where David son is weakest. Reference is here made to the first and second line de fenses of the two teams. Coach Carl Prause of The Citadel will heve to rely upon a light and inexperienced backfield behind a powerful line in Saturday* game, while Monk Young er's Davidson team will be just the opposite —an experienced and fleet footed backfield with a line of un certain strength. "Both teams have lost a number of their veterans since last year, David son fifteen and Citadel eleven. Coach Tilson. who handles the line at Dav idson has been “up a tree” over his lack of experienced tackles, but it seems now that Hampton, Baker, Mc- Connell and Leftwic-h are the four candidates from whom Saturday’s tackles wi.l be chosen. All four are new to the varsity squad, and more of them tip the scales at more than 185 pounds. ‘ Citadel is strong in her tackles, with Figg and King, two vet erans back in harness. Both weigh between 190 and 200 pounds. (Jarah .Propst, of Sumter. S. C., is spending the week-end in Concord. CONCORD KLANSMEN EXPECTED TO HEAR DR.

PLEASANT Contest Between Concord High and M. P. C. I. Ends Early in Fourth Period. — Score 1-0. By RADIO KINO. With Mussolini-like authority, and without the slightest provocation, Referee J. W. Link brought to an abrupt end a good football game be tween Concord high school and the Collegiate Institute at Mt. Pleasant Friday afternoon. The referee order ed a forfeit iu lavor of M. P. C. I. when, after he refused to liiten to reason, he demanded Coach Count Leggett to leave the field of pluy. The forfeit gave the contest to M. P. C. I. by the score of 1 to 0. The Concord coach hastened upon the field, after signalling the referee, to protest an apparent unfair penalty. The referee seemed to have seen Mr. Leggett but he failed to recognise the signal. When reaching the referee's side Coach Leggett “laid down” a few rules of football concerning the plays on which Concord was penal ized. The referee disliked the advice of the local coach, and ordered Leggett from the field. Coach Leggett refused to leave, contending that his team was suffering from unfair penalties; and before Mr. Leggett could call his team from the gridiron the referee de clared a forfeit. J The fracas ended early in the fourth period, and two consecutive penalties led up to the regrettable finish. The referee ruled that a Concord half-back tackeld a M. P. C. I. player who was attempting to receive a pass from Hager. From the sidelines it appeared that the ball bounded from the chest of the M. P. C. I. receiver, the pass being incomplete. However, there was a scramble for the ball, this, apparently, appearing to the referee that the receiver had been tackled. A penalty of 25 yeards was imposed. On the next play Concord suffered another five-yard penalty. Then Coach Leg gett went on the field. Teams Play Cleanly. Concord and M. P. C. I. fought a clean game throughout, and there is no criticism offered. It is only natural that teams abide by the referee's rul ings no matter what the results hap pen to be. Although outweighed per haps 15 pounds to the man, the Con cord eleven gave a tenacious fight, its forward defense bolding like a brick wall before the vain line plunging of the M. P. C. I. backs. Only by a dazzling aerial attack could the Cadets advance. \ The air attack was beautiful, and almost flaw less. The Institute completed the first four attempts at passing, advancing the ball at least for 50 yards, and a touchdown. Hager-to-Agee was the M. P. C. I. passing combination. Throughout the game the Concord team had to desperately fight in its own danger zones. cord line put up as beautiful a scrap as will be seen on any high school gridiron. Coach W. O. Green,-former Davidson warrier, drilled the Concord line candidates. The local forward defense time after time blocked off-tackle plays of M. P. C. 1., and finally the enemy gave up the line attacks as fruitless. Ben Parks, stocky center, ran rings around his opposing man, while “Red” Utley was in the mix-up like a flock of fighting Irish cops. The whole Con- In the Concord backfield Capt. Sanders and Lawrence Verble were in the thick of the battle, and proved themselves the most consistent ground gainers. Before the season grows much older Verble is sure to develop into one of the best backfield stars Concord has boasted in many a grid iron season. The line-up and score: Concord (0> Vs. M. P.C. I.
