A STRANGE STORY.
Boyce Funderburk Reaches Home
Early and Tells of Remarkable
Evfcnts.
Y\ adesboro Messenger.
Late last Friday night Mr. Boyce
Funderburk arrived at his home in
Polk ton after an automobi’e trip in
a state of physical collapse and un
ab.e to talk. When he became able
to talk he told a story of being
drugged, assaulted and robbed of SIOO
by two men. He enid that he had
sllO in another pfleket which the men
did not get; that he shot at them
several times, and shot one of them
through the hand. When he reached
home his pistol was fully loaded and
there were empty shells in the bottom
of his car.
This happened somewhere near
Concord, or at least he fe'l in with
the men near Concord, and it was his
impression that they went to several
towns. He thought he was drugged
with a hypodermic needle stuck into
his leg. He is now recovering.
Sheriff J. F. Martin went up to
get Mr. Funderburk’s account of the
matter Saturday* but the ill man
could not talk at that time. Deputy
Sheriff J. F. Tice went up to see
him Sunday, and Mr. Funderbusk
told of the matter. The officers have
taken no action, and it is understood
Mr. Funderburk told them he. did not
desire any legal action
would deal with the men himself.

Stocks, Bonds, Pistols, Cartridges
and Shells.
Asheville, Sept.' 30.—C4*>—Absent
mindedness on the part of H. P.
Eanes, local inventor, today had the
police looking for a brown leather
handbag conta : ning $15,000 worth of
stocks and bonds. The bag also con
tained several pistols, cartridges and
shells.
Mr. Eanes, a firearms enthusiast,
went to the pawn shop vi 11. L. Kink
elstein here late yesterday and ex
changed one of his pistols for another
that tobk his fancy. He placed his
new ecquisition in the bag. locked it,
and remained talking to employees of
the shop for a time.
Suddenly, remembering a business
appo ntment, he hastened out of shop
without his bag. When the loss was
d : «eovered employees of the shop
made a search but were unable to lo
cate it. The police were notified. The

LANDIS TRIMMED,
15-0 BY M. P. C. I.
IN GAME FRIDAY
Wilson and Widenhouse Star
For the Cadets in the Sec
ond Game of the 1927
Schedule.
Slashing end runs by Wilson and
deadly thrusts through the line by'
Widenhouse enabled M. P. C. I. to ad- j
minister a 15-0 defeat to the foot
ball team of the Landis high school
in the second game of the season for
the Cadets at Mt. Pleasant Friday
, afternoon.
Two touchdowns, one each by the
above mentioned backs, one point af
ter touchdown and a safety account
ed for the winning total.
Presenting a taster and more alert
offensive than was shown -in the op
ening game against Concord a week
- ago, Coach Rhoade’s warriors ap
peared to have improved fifty percent.
The line plays worked with a snap
and the sluggishness that has char
acterized earlier workouts were miss
ing. despite excessive heat that forced
many time-out periods for rest.
Landis displayed an overhead at
tack that, for a while, baffled the
Cadete. The Rowan county boys
were unable to make any appreciable
headway through the heavier line they
were up against, and they re*orted to
an open game. Practically all of
thfir gains were made through their
clever passing offensive;
M. r. C. I. will journey to Weav
erville for a game with Weaver Col
lege next Saturday.

Hester Says It Is Very Inaccurate
And Bvtler Says It Hurts Price
Os Cotton.
New Orealsn. Sept. 30—Secretary H.
G. Hester, of the New Orleans cotton
exchange, late today vigorously pro
tested against the issuance by the
bureau of agricultural economics, de
partment of agriculture, of a cotton
carryover statement which he termed
“grossly inaccurate.”
The protest followed telegraphic cor
respondence today between Congress
man J. B. Aswell, of Louisiana, and
Edward S. Butler, former president
of the New Orleans cotton exchange.
It was transmitted to Congressman
Aswell.
The report. Mr. Butler said in seek
ing to learn if such a statement had
been issued-by the department, “is
having a serious effect on the values
of cotton.” He sought the sources
of information from which he bureau
had compiled the statement.
Congressman Aswell replied that
such n statement had been made in a
letter writter by the bureau to the
president of the New York cotton ex

than half a million bales more than

Losses of from three to four dollars

Secretary Hester, protesting that

STATE EXPERT HOLDS
MEET FOR COUNTY
GRAIN PRODUCERS
G. -W. Fant Gives Cabarrus
Farmers Valuable Demon
strations on Removing
Smut From Wheat.
G. W. Fant, of the State College
extension division, has just completed
a week's instruction course iu the
advantage of the latest methods of
removing smut from wheat to the
farmers of Cabarrus county.
With the cooperation of R. D.
Goodman, county agent, Mr. Fant
held four large demonstrations to large
numbers of prominent agricultural
men of this section in different parts
of the county during the past week.
The first meeting was held at the farm
of L. Bowman Barrier, Mt. Pleas
ant, early in the week. Then the
farmers of No. 7 township were in
vited to attend a meeting at ,A. C.
Lentz’s. Following those two, dem
onstrations were held successively at
the farm "of H. M. Black, on the Beth
el road, and of H. B. Emerson, in
N0.,3 township. All of the meetings
were well attended, several hundred
grain growers receiving the valuable
advice from the State expert.
A new copper-carbonate dry treat
ment has been found to be most ben
eficial in eliminating the smut that
has destroyed so much grain in the
Piedmont section of the state during
the past few years. By using the
treatment recommended by the agri
cultural department of the State,
through ' Mr. Fant, when they are
planting their seed, farmers are as
sured of destroying the causes of the
costly smut and of having their crop
grow up clean as the proverbial whis
tle.
Mr. Fant also demonstrated the use
of a certain formaldehyde treatment
on the smaller grain products.
Grain crops in the Piedmont sec
tion have suffered no little damage
this year from the dreaded smut and
it is the hope of the State to reduce
these damages by educating the rural
populace in the methods of planting
and protecting their oat®, barley, etc.
TThe copper-carbonate treatment is
the easiest that has yet been found
to apply, as well as the most effec
tive after application.
The enthusiastic reception accorded
Mr. Fant at each of his demonstra
tions was ample proof of the appre
ciation Cabarrus farmers feel toward
State_ College extension authorities
for their work toward improvement
of farm and crop conditions.

A real estate deal, said to have been
made in June and July of this year,

of Cabarrus Superior Court D. C.

the defendant advised the plaintiffs
that, he wanted to sell 87 acres of
land in N 0.4 township. The de

$7,000 they secured for the property,
or 5 per cent, in case the total was
not as much* as

YE OLDE TIME SCHOOLE
PARTY WAS BIG SUCCESS
Mrs. Edward Sauvain Entertains P.-
T. A. at Home Here.
By MRS. PARIS KIDD
“Ye Olde Time School Party” at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Sauvain on i North Union street, at
which, on Friday evening, the par
ents of the Central grammar school
P.-T. A. honored the teachers*, was a
huge success, both numerically and in
enjoyment.
•After a brief appropriate address
of welcome by the president, Mrs. M.
E. Hansel, in which sne pointed out
the four-fold ideal for which the as
sociation stands, the program for j the
evening was put into the capable
hands of Mi9® Ruth Dry, vice presii
dent of the organization.
The program took the form of a
comical imitation of a day in school.
At chapel the “boys” and “girls” sang
a number of funny pongs set to popu
lar tunes. After this farcical “en
trance examinations” in geography,
mathematics and history. At the
burlesque spelling bee, the contestants
were required to spell their words
backwards, while non-contestants en
joyed their painstaking efforts. The
reading lesson consisted of jaw-break
ing. tongue-twisting sentences to be
read at high speed.
Spirited debates on the question
“Resolved: That an old maid is of
more benefit to a community than an
old bachelor,'” and “Resolved: That
pie is better than cake," formed per
haps the most laughable feature of
the program, since the speakers on
both affirmative and negative made ex
temporaneous speeches at the same
time! Another weighty prob'em to
be solved was “How does the squirrel
know how to find his nuts?” For
solving this difficult problem a lady
was commended for her “nuttiness.”
As an experiment in science, con
testants were required to extricate
themselves, after being t tied together
and given no clue as to how to get
unfastened.’ Their effort® to free
themselves were exceedingly laugh
able.
After an hour or two of fun and
frolic, in which parental and peda
gogical dignity was for the time laid
aside and forgotten, a delicious salad
course was served, and the guests min
g'ed socially for the purpose of getting
better acquainted.
Calanus. a philosopher of stoicism
' in the train of Alexander the Great,
was never ill until he was aeized with
a severe stomach ache at the age of
seventy-three. Believing that he had
lost his health he ordered a funeral
pyre and with composed countenance
expired in the flames.
SALISBURY LICKS 1
CONCORD 6-0 IN THE
GRIDIRON OPENER
Successful Pass in the Final
Quarter Gives the Rowan
Team Margin of Victory
in Contest Here Friday.
Fighting a valiant but losing battle,
the football eleven representing the
Concord High School went down in
defeat before a larger and more ex
perienced team from the Salisbury
High School Friday afternoon at
Webb Field in the local gridiron cur
tain-raiser of the year by a 6 to 0
score.
After playing on almost even terms
through three quarters and a half of
the fourth, Concord’s hopes for a score
less tie were sent skyward when
young Kesler, who., by the way, was
a twisted thorn in their side® all af
ternoon, heaved a beautifully execut
ed 20 yards pas® to Ayers behind the
goal line for the only score of the
game. Concord’s forwards blocked the
succeeding try for goal.
Weather Too Warm.
Neither team can he said to have
been in the proverbial “pink.” To
add to their discomfiture, the weather
man pawned off one of his hottest
afternoons. The chief wonder is that
the men were able to last through the
sixty minutes of p'ay. They did,
however, and comparatively few sub
stitutions were made.
Numerous times—out from minor
injuries and exhaustion caused already
dull to lag even more, Referee Davis,
who, in his local debut, showed a
thorough knowledge of the fine points
of the game, did all In bis power to
speed things along bat, what, with
the excessive humidity and all, it was
impossible. \
The local eleven has developed two
things, if nothing more in the month
of training it has undergone. First,
there is a perceptible team spirit,
than which there is nothing more
valuable to any competitive sport ag
gregation. Then, it has a love for
the game and a true will to win, even
though it has not yet developed suf
ficient mechanical ability to .satiate
said will. • 1 ;<
Team Ambitious and Hard-Fighting.
But an ambitious and hard-fighting
squad can learn much through several
reverses and, in the opinion of the
writer, this Concord eleven that looked
so badly in its first home start, will
add several noteworthy chapters to
the school football history before the
season has closed. One or two more
games, several added weeks of in
tensive training, a few good plays
perfected, and they will aks no quar
ter from any high school outfit in
this section.
Getting back-'to the game yester
day, Concord’s forward wall proved
fully a6 strong as her opponents on
defence —it was 6n offense that it
showed lamentable lack in coordina
tion and concentrated driving power
Few decent holes were opened in the
tight Orange line wall of the Rowan
county boys and when they were, the
backs ran all over each other before
proper interference could be formed.
They piled under and over each other,
always seeming to be just where they
Bad Passing Mars Attack.
The passing from center was al
most uniformly bad —particularly on
the punt and pass formations. On
several occasions Bob Keesler, whose
educated toe did heavy spiral duty
for the locals, received the ball so
late or so out of position that he
I was unable to get it away before be
ing tackled.
In returning punts and on end and
off-tackle thrusts the backs seemed to
forget the value of a well-formed in
terference, and more often than not
were thrown with only orange-jer
seyed men near them.
Kesler Salisbury Star.
Salisbury was little .better, though
it must be admitted that heavy penal
ties for infractions of the rules pre
vented their scoring at least one more
touchdown. Kesler, mentioned be
fore, played bis head off and could
, always be seen in the thick of the ar
gument. A tackle on defense and a
back on offense, this sorrell-tepped
young man just about represented the
difference in the play of the two
teams.
The air attack of the Salisbury
Warriors was superior to that of the
locals and their shift plays ran off
more smoothly than anything Con
cord had to offer.
