Having qualified as the Adminis trators' of Nancy Benson Sims, de ceased, all persons owing said estate ar* hereby notified that they must make prompt payment or suit will be brought. And all persons having * f *i " j , * % i 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. Four Real Estate Deals Recorded.

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 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. W. Delightful Surprise Birthday Party.

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.

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.
