The lone ar rest was of a man charged with as sault with a deadly weapon. Coaches in State colleges are turn ing their eyes to basketball now that the gridiron season is practically eud ed. Reports indicate a bamier year, with championship calibre quiutets representing several institutions. Marriage licenses were issued Fri day to Jonah Taylor, of this city, and Miss Minnie Furr, of Stanfield; and to Hughie A.

Saturday ill the office of Miss Ophelia Barker, Cabarrus demonstration agent. More than a hundred football fans from Concord saw grid games Thurs day. The greatest number went to Davidson, but there were almost t.s many at Chapel Hill, while still oth ers went to Columbia, S. C., and Hickory. The unusually large amount of traffic on the streets of the city Thurs day produced but one smash-up, two cars colliding at the intersection of Powder and West Depot streets. No one was injured and the damage done to the cars was slight. Temperatures Friday were high but there was a change during the night, the mercury falling about 20 degrees from the highest of Friday. Temper atures Friday were about as high as on Thursday, when the maximum for this city was 74 degrees. Jack McDowall, of N. C. State, and Captain Garrett Morchead, of Caro lina, were given places on the second All-Southern conference team picked by the Atlanta Journal. The first team failed to include a player from this State or from Virginia. Mickey Walker, world's middle weight champion, took every round of a ten-round fight with Paul Ber lenbach, one-time holder of the light heavyweight championship, in Chicago Friday night. Walker narrowly missed scoring a knock-out in the fourth round. Reuben Utley, employee in the com position department of The Tribune and Times, had the misfortune Sat urday to severly burn his left arm. Mr. Utley was handling a “cut,” which had just been moulded, when the accident occurred. Thanksgiving Day in Concord was clear and warm. A rather stiff wind sprang up during the' afternoon but it did not lower temperatures nor blow up a rain as was generally ex pected following the weather fore cast for cloudy and colder weather iu thirt' section. The old Salisbury road, leading out through East Depot street, is beiug repaired now by*t?ounty road forces. The roadbed for some distance just out, of Concord has been plowed up and smoothed, and other changes and repairs are planned for the road in the near future. W. C. Liske, deputy gqme warden, was in Concord this week. He says the people are obeying game law in splendid fashion as a riile, and lie urges local hunters to aecune ttoeir licenses now as quail oan be hunted in Caburrus after December first. Few complaints of law violations hatfe come to him, Mr. Kiske said. Dick Dodson is leading in the close race for point scoring honors in the southern conference, the plunging fullback of the Tennessee Vols hav , ing made 61 points as against 60 apiece for Herdis McCrary, of Geor gia. and Jimmy Armistead, of Van derbilt. Both McCrary and Armis tead haye another game to play, while Dodson played his last of the season Thursday. % THE CONCORD TIMES QUIET TkANKSGIVING IN CONCORD; PEOPLE ENJOY DAY’S SPORTS Union Church Services Dur ing Morning and Evening Here. —Hundreds Flock to Football Games. Thanksgiving was generally ob served in Concord, practically all bus iness suspending and the population enjoying the holiday festivities to the utmost. The day, however, in Concord was comparatively quiet. During the morn ing n union Thanksgiving service was held at the First Presbyterian Church, a large audience being present to hear the gripping sermon of Rev. L. A. Thomas, pastor of St. James Luth eraft Church. Beautiful music was/ rendered along with the service of thanks and praise. Again in the evening beautiful Thanksgiving services were conduct ed at local churches. Rev. G. H. Hendry preached at the union services at Kerr Street Methodist Church, while K. L. Melver delivered an ap propriate message at the Second Pres byterian Church. Flock 1 to Football Games. To the record-breaking attendances at southern football games Thursday, Concord sent its tremendous delega tion of fans. Late Wednesday af ternoon the exodus of fans began and continued until noontime Thursday, the highways teeming with automo biles headed for Chapel Hill, David son, Hickory or other points in and dut of the state. Until the small hours of this morning the football revelers rode home, weary after a day’s celebration but nevertheless happy. Os course, it is needless to men tion about the attention which was given the martyr of Thanksgiving— turkey. Hundreds of these birds graced tables here, being the head line dish w’ith dressing, cranberries, delicious salads and other dishes which overwhelmingly satisfy the epi curean taste on Thanksgiving. There were sundry forms of holi day amusement. Some of the golf enthusiasts spent a full day on the links, while the nimrods took to the fields frantically # in search of any thing that looked like rabbits or squirrels. . The theatre was popular, with the reveters, the playhouses be ing »erow<le<l throughout the afternoon and' evening. No accidents or disorders of any sort were reported to municipal and county authorities. TIPSY DRIVERS IN STATE BIG MENACE, OGLESBY DECLARES Had Rather Give Drunk Man Shotgun on Highway Than Automobile.—Says Work Will Stop Much Crime. • Judge John M. Oglesby, of Concord, presiding at sessions of Buncombe County Superior Court this week, se verely denounced drunken drivers In a recent utterance from the bench. Concerning statements by the Con cord jurist an Asheville press dis patch says: “I had rather turn a drunk man loose on the highways with a loaded shotgun than with an automobile,” Judge John M. Oglesby said* in a Bun combe County Superior Court after a jury had returned a verdict of guil ty against a defendant for driving an automobile while under the influence of liquor. “With a shotgun,” the jurist continued, “he possibly would kill but one man, but iu an automo bile he could kill more.” Pleasing reflections of Judge Ogles by’s observations in Buncome county also were forthcoming at spasmodic intervals from the bench during the trial of a number of cases in the crim inal court. ! According to the jurist. Buncombe county’s moral condition is much bet ter than it was when he last was here tw’o years ago. Solicitor Robert M. Wells, in this connection, added that housebreaking cases were frequent at the beginning of the present year and that automobile thefts during Feb ruary and part of March numbered more than seventy. At the present session of court, it was pointed out, but one housebreaking case has been tried and only two automobile thefts are on the docket for trial. Work, according to Judge Oglesby’s observation, is a panacea for most violations of law. “During my time on the bench,” he said, “I have yet to see a man guilty of larceny who has been regularly en gaged in work.” A great portion of present day crime, he added, is directly traceable to persons not engaged in gainful pursuits, or only occasionally em ployed. CHARLOTTE PEOPLE NARROWLY ESCAPED INJURY IN A MISHAP Car Smashes Into Telephone Pole at the Intersection of Loan and Church Streets About Midnight. Mb. and Mrs. Ike C* Lowe and son, of Charlotte, escaped injury some what miraculuously abqut midnight Thursday when the automobile in which they were riding, crashed in to a telephone pole at the intersec tion of Loan and Church streets. The Charlotte party was returning home from the Carolina-Virginia foot ball game. Except for being badly shaken tip the occupants of the wrecked car showed no signs of the mishap.

One dog. at least, will go to the Dog’s Heaven, or wherever it is mat good dogs go, with the knowledge that it is being greatly missed. The hearts of six small children were sad dened almost to the breaking point late Friday afternoon when a “hit and run” driver struck and killed their best Mutt, a spotted cur. on the Charlotte road several miles South of Concord. The hard hearted driver of the car, a rank murderer in the eyes of the tiny boys and girls, was no respecter of persons or dogs. And so, in spile of the piteous screams of the little childrCTi, he left Mutt* lifeless ano stark on the side pf the road after having made but little effort to avoid hitting him. Mutt had been the friend of, those tiny unfortunates —so young and grief-stricken that they could not ev en teH their own names. They bad raised this little dog through ail its six month* of life. But they had failed to teach him the meannesses of human nature —probably because they did not know of them —and trusting Mutt was easy prey so the “bit and run” tactics of the man in the big brown ear. Their pangs of sorrow became so great that their grief burst forth in wails. Mutt had been a companion to them, a faithful friend and a source of solace and comfort. He had nev er deserted them—and then Mu f t was theirs, had been fed by them, raised by them, taught by them. They knew it was not their fault he had been killed, and also they knew that Mutt was not to blame. And so their sorrow knew no lounds when they recovered from the stun ning blow of the great shock and realized their loss in its entirety. They wept, screamed and made pite ous gestures, inarticulately. * The oldest of the group, a toy of some six summers, was pathetic as he vainly tried to console his play males. He finally Convinced them that Mutt was gone forever and with heavy hearts they prepared for the last rites to their faithful companion. Tears rolled from their faces as they moved the inert body to an ad jacent wooded space and dug the hole into which Mutt was subsequently placed. The manly little leader, with head bared, offered up a prayer in which be made an appeal for the miracle of resurrection. “Mutt has never done anyone harm,” he said. “He was the one bright spot in our lives and we shall miss him terribly if we are never able to see him again. Send him back to us. please.” Despite his evident heart of stone, the killer of the cur would have been remorseful had he seen the genuine love in the hearts of the children- Mutt has gone forever. From his place on the Canine Heights perhaps he realizes that he has not gone to his resting place alone that he has taken a large measure of love and friendship from a group of loyal friends.
