FREE COURSES IN
BUSINESS OPEN FOR
EMPLOYED GROUPS
Several Vacancies in Short
- hand and Typewriting
Classes Offered by State,
Through SchooL
Six or seven more persons are need
ed at once to take advantage of the
free business courses in shorthand and
typewriting offered several days ago
by the authorities at the Concord pub
lic schools. ,
About a half-dozen applications
have been made since the announce
ment Tuesday last. In order to se
cure the support of the State Voca
tional Training Department at least
ten business people must register, and
any number from ten to fourteen is
recommended by the State.
Under the able directiqn of R. V.
Broomfield, who is in charge of the
business courses in the High -School,
this class is expected to be the fore
runner for many other vocational
training courses that can be secured
at the expense of the state if the
proper interest and enthusiasm is
shown. '
Comparatively few requirements
are made on the people registering for
the shorthand and typewriting in
struction. Nobody under fourteen
years of age will be admitted. The
entrants must be employed by some
firm or office in the city or county and
must furnish their own books.
The classes will be held in the
business rooms of the Concord High
School each morning between 8:00
and 8 :45 o’clock. Later, if it is the
wish of the students, other hours may
be arranged. No high school pupils
will be eligible for admission.
Starting with a single class, similar
to the one contemplated by the local
school authorities, several towns in
North Carolina have had such a hearty
response from their employed people
that they have been able to enlarge
the scope of their work until it is
possible for knowledgeseekers to se
cure training in almost any subject
they desire, at the expense of the
State. Salisbury and Greensboro have,
from meagre beginnings, developed
large departments in vocational trail
ing.
It is hoped by the educational lead
ers of Concord and Cabarrus that
local employed classes will take ad
vantage of the opportunity for ad
vancement and learing offered and co
operate with them in starting this
city toward bigger and better teaching
facilities.
Vocational training was a direct
result of the World War. In order
to help the returned soldiery the
United States Government established
schools of training to give them the
background necessary to every success
ful business career. It worked so well
that it was extended to the schools ,
and to the working classes.
Those persons of the city who have ,
desired a commerical course, but who
have been unable, for any reason, to
take one, are requested to get in
touch with A. H. Jarratt, principal
of the high school at once. After the
full class has been arranged it will
be necessary to complete negotiations
with George Coggins, State Supervisor
of Vocational Training. It is hoped
that everything will be ready within
another week or two to announce the
opening date.

WOULD PLANT NEW
SHRUBBERY ABOUT
IMPOUNDING DAM
L. A. Fisher Hopes to Have
Border of Crepe Myrtle,
Cedars and Dogwood Trees
About the Lake.
The city’s impounding dam, called
Lake Concord, is a natural thing of
beauty but it’s appearance will be
greatly enhanced if plans of L. A.
Fisher, superintendent of the water
and light department, can be carried
out.
Mr. Fisher stated this morning that
he hopes to be able soon to plant a
border of crepe myrtles, dogwoods
and cedars around the lake, giving it
a border of green, white and crimson.
The plans, he said, are still in their
infancy and cannot be carried out
immediately, but he hopes they will
be a reality within a year or two.
If possible Mr. Fisher hopes to
plant alternating crepe myrtles and
dogwoods around the edge of the lake,
with stately cedars, which remain
green the year around, as a back
ground. The dogwoods and crepe
myrtles bloom at different seasons,
he said, and this plan would give to.
the lake a border of blooming shrubs
the greater part of the year.
It is five miles around the lake,
however, Mr. Fisher explained, and
the task of seeting out the border
would be a rather difficult and expen
sive one. He let it be known that
he hopes to get the trees at reduced
cost snd appropriations sufficient to
complete the entire length of the lake
with shrubbery in two or three years.
It would be impossible to set aside
sufficient appropriations at one time
for the shrubbery, he believes, but he
thinks the money could be secured
from year to year so the job could
be completed within two or three
years.
Built in a natural basin, with coves
in many directions, the lake is one
of the natural beauty spots of the
county but Mr. Fisher believes much
would be added to its appearance if
his shrubbery plans can be carried
out.
WAR MOTHERS
Interesting Meeting Held by Cabarrus
Chapter of War Mothers During the
Week.
The September meeting of the Ca
barrus chapter of War Mothers was
held Tuesday afternoon at the home
of Mrs. John L. Miller on South
Spring street. Those entertaining with
Mrs. Miller were: Mesdames J. A.
Ritchie, H. Lenta and Parish.
The meeting was called to order by
the president, Mrs. R. E. Ridenhour.
Mrs. Bingham read Psalms 95, after
which Mrs. Fink offered a prayer in
behalf of those members of the chap
ter who have been sorely afflicted dur
ing the past month. The thirty mem
bers present joined in the War Moth
ers’ Collect the American’s Creed,
Salute to the Flag, concluding with
the singing of America, Mrs. Bingham
at the piano. The outstanding fea
ture of the meeting was a talk by
Mm. Lilly Blanks, who has recently
returned from Europe, in which she
urged the Mothers to promulgate a
doctrine of peace. She urged all to
exercise their voting power in the
right direction and to uphold the Con
stitution with all our might.
The various committees and the
treasurer made their reports, after
which a tribute to our recently de
ceased member, Mrs. Hendrix, was
read. The meeting concluded with
the Mutual benediction, after which a
social hour was enjoyed, the hostesses
serving sandwiches and iced tea.
CORRESPONDING
SECRETARY.
A Tribute to Mrs. J. M. Hendrix.
They said that our friend had left us.
As the evening shadows fell,
The angel of death had called her,
But we know that with her ’tis well.
Past are the pains that distressed her,
Past are all earth’s sorrow and
cares,
She’s home in the many mansions
Which God for His loved ones pre
pares.
We miss her presence so gentle, r
Love-filled words and deeds ever
kind,
Her smile like a benediction
Still lingers o’er those left behind.
Loved ones, through your night of
sorrow,
The bright light of hope shine on,
You will meet again in Heaven,
She only before you has gone.

HOUSEHOLDERS ARE
CONNECTING WITH
CITY SEWER LINE
City Engineer Reports That
About 20 Connections Per
Month Have Been Made
For Six Months.
Owners of homes in Concord are
connecting with the city sewer sys
tem at the rate of about twenty
houses a month, Capt. Q. E. Smith,
city engineer, reports.
For the past six months the aver
age of twenty connections a month
has been maintained, Captain Smith
said, and he predicts that it will not
be long at that rate until all con
nections have been made.
Within the past eighteen months,
it was stated, sewer lines have been
laid in all sections of the city under
authority granted by the aldermen
who likewise ordered that all houses
near one of the sewer lines shall be
connected with the line.
Householders as a rule have been
anxious to comply with the law, Cap
tain Smith said, but there have been
a few cases where the law had to
be enforced before such connections
were made. Only last week warrants
were sworn out for six persons who
had failed to comply with the law
and judgment was suspended for 90
days to give them another chance
to make the connections.
Captain Smith expressed the belief
that these six connections will be
made in the allotted time and that
it will not be necessary hereafter, ex
cept in isolated cases perhaps, to issue
warrants.
When all possible connections in
the city haVe been made, it was said,
Concord will have one of the most
complete sewer systems of any city in
the State.
SERIOUS SPLIT IN A
CHURCH MAY OCCUR
Pastor and Two Stewards Pass Rot
Words.-—Endowment Starts Row.
Albemarle Press.
Unless a large vat of smoothing oil
is poured on the trouble waters a
serious split in the Central Methodist
chnrch is likely to take place. Sev
eral threats have been made, and only
a miracle can avert certain disaster.
In order to get a dear view of the
whole matter it is necessary to go
back into history a good many years,
and it will be found that in tne minds
of some philanthropic churchman a
vision came that finally produced the
Superannuate Endowment fund which
was established to take care of Meth
odist ministers who had given their
lives in service and were no longer
Able to support themselves. It has
been the custom during the past few
years to assess each church in the
conference * certain amount to apply
on this fund, and on last Sunday the
Central Methodist officials made the
drive in an effort to raise their as
sessment.
Dr. Marr, pastor of the church,
felt that he needed help in the mat
ter of handling the subscriptions
since they were to be given from the
floor and he first called mcar H.
Phillips to the front to list the sub
scriptions. Then the doctor announc
ed that he was going to call on the
three best looking men in the congre
gation to come forward and announce
the subscriptions from the three dif
ferent sections of pews- Careful con
sideration of these facts will enable
one to get the immediate causes of the
row. It will be noted that the doc
tor got Mr. Phillips to the front be
fore he made the “best looking” state
ment, and authorities feel that he
used more than rare judgment in do
ing so. The pastor then quickly called
for George P. Harris and Harris L.
Horton to come forward, and then a
moment of hesitation laid the ground
work for a serious misunderstanding.
While some hesitancy was shown in
the last selection, a large number of
friends felt that W. Frank Snuggs
was the logical man and that Dr.
Marr had made a wise choice.
The drive was made, and while
there was some bitter feeling on the
parts of some of the other handsome
men nothing resulted until Dr. Marr,
W. Frank Snuggs, and Ambrose C.
Lentz met in Allen Clothing store on
Mondoy morning. Mr. Lentz im
mediately asked the doctor why he
hesitated before selecting Mr. Snuggs.
and the doctor replied that it had
been a hard matter to choose between
Snuggs and Lentz. Lentz retorted
that the doctor was suffering from an
aggravated case of poor eyes, and
Sjiuggs declared that he would had in
his resignation as a member of the
board of stewards and chief usher.
Lentz immediately . added that he
would not only resign from the board
of stewards and give up his position
as church treasurer but would also
refuse to sign a check for the pas
tor’s salary for September. Dr. Marr
replied that he felt that such steps on
the part of these two stewards would
be the best thing that had happened
to the church in well-night 30 years,
and that he already had their suc
cessor picked. While no blows were
struck the air was charged with
electricity for some time after the
words were passed.
It is understood that Dr. Z. Paris,
who is scheduled to hold quarterly
conference here Sunday will use his
influence to pacify the injured feel--
ings of the local churchmen.
Os Interest to Eastern Star.
The secretary of the local chapter of
the Order of Eastern Star has re
ceived the following invitation for"
the chapter to visit Mizpah chapter

Weekly Cotton Review.
New York, Sept. 30.—Rallies from
the low prices touched on the recent
break, were promoted by reports of
heavy cold rains in the southwest
with the price of December contracts
in the cotton market here selling up
to 22.22 Wednesday. This made a re
covery of approximately two cents a
pound from the low price touched
September 23, which was evidently,
sufficient to attract increased offer
ings or realizing with the reappear
ance of warmer temperatures. The
selling became more active and about
half the advance was lost, but after
selling down to 21.07 for December
Thursday, the market steadied up to
day on prospects for a renewal of
rather unsettled weather in the south
west
Four of the private epd-month
crop reports had appeared before the
close of the week, but they did not
seem to have carried any general
conviction as to the probable show
ing of the approaching government
figures. In a general way the average
of the private condition figures show
ed a falling off of about four points
for the month while the reports also
indicated some reductiion in indicated
crops as compared with a month ago.
Discussion of the statistical posi
tion was revived by publication of
details of a recent estimate of the
world’s carry-over of American cot
ton, but as a market influence it ap
peared secondary to the uncertain
ty of the coming crop estimate and
the Character of the weather news.
'Hie first October notice day was
without any particular feature so far
as fluctuations were concerned. No
tices representing about 177,000 bales
of cotton were issued. They caused
some liquidation, but there seemed to
be plenty of demand for October at a
discount of 34 to 36 points under De
cember. Predictions of freezing weath
er in parts of the southwest were not
realized, but temperatures have been
low, particularly in northwest Texas
and Oklahoma and in connection with
heavy rains are supposed to have de
layed the maturing of late cotton.
