MEASLES MENACE IS STILL RAGING ABOUT SECTIONS OF COUNTY Between 30 and 40 Cases Have Been Reported Over Week-End Unprece dented Number of Cases. Measles ! Aleaslos 1 AieasltV- 1 An unprecedented number of mea sles eases exist in Cabarrus County at the present, giving light that there is no possible decline in (he epidemic soon. Over the week-end. • when King Winter overdid itself. IS new cases were reported, and during the early hours this morning between !•*> and 21) more new cases were brought to the attention of the Cabarrus County Health Department. The telephone at the health depart ment quarters has been doing doub’e duty lately as reports of new meas les eases are given to officials. In the past two weeks the epi demic appears to be reaching its peak a* more than 2<>J> cases developed in that time. The peak is yet to ra* readied, it appears. (In the averagt of IS cases are reported lroin t.ie various sections of the e unity daily. Despite tin* rage of the disease it has never been at such heights as to seriously interfere with school work. Xo school in the enunry nus been suspended.

Wiggling, lloudini-like. through the rear window of his ear Sam Surrey, young Kanapolis man swam from tin* clutches of a watery grave after a side-swiping collision with an uuliglit ed and unidentified. Ford had sent his locked Chevrolet coach hurtling into the atrifieial lake at Kannapolis last night. Except the severe chill from the icy water, the only injuries suffered by Surcey were cuts to his hands, sustained in making an open ing through the glass window. The young man's car, completely submerged in the fifteen or more feet of water at the spot where it took its nose-dive, was hoisteYt out by two work trucks this morning. it is reported that Surcey was driving South, well within the speed limits, when the unlighted Ford hit his car a glancing blow, sending him careening into the hedges and wire fence, which, collapsed with the force of the blow. Poor Articulation Was Cause of Con fusion. Moorcsville Enterprse. Way back in the happy days of hand composition in print shops it was not an infrequent qnervy that was yelled out from the stand where stood some young printer who indus triously worried over some word that he could not make any sense out of; for in those days everything was either written with a running hand or rather a mark would be made fol lowing the first letter and it was up to the compositor to make sense put of the “take.” The question was this: “What in the ’ll is this word!” After going over the “copy” with the fore man and then with the editor, the answer sometimes would Ik* "damfi no.” All of the above* bit of remi niscence was recalled by an incident at tin* Farmers’ Warehouse and Oil M’’]ls one day last week. A man brought a load of cotton to the gin and when Robert Brawley asked the fellow his name, he mumbled sonje thiug very indistinctly, and did so re peatedly. Robert wrote the name on the ticket just as it sounded to him. It was carried to the main office where Mason Brown has charge of the books. He was banded the ticket, but when ihe read ‘ the name, he Hushed and called for Mr. Brawley. The latter was questioned us to the name on the ticket and in replying to Mr. Brown, said the only thing he could make out of the fellow's name as he gave it was “Bygod" Black. Jason Deaton, one of the men who knows everybody, was called into the conference and he explained that the man’s name was “Beauregard” Black, a well-known negro who is said to boa good tenant of a farm not a great ways from the city.

U. —Dun's tomor row will say : . The last month of a 'year seldom is marked by important new trends in business and such changes are not to be ex pee ted at present. Ex/ cept in retail lines, this is a nor mal time for a s’aekeuing of ac tivities, inventorying and various re straints incidental to the period largely diverting attention. 1 * in many in stances, from other , operations. With such a phase prevailing now. a general commercial expansion ob viously is not to be anticipated. There are, however, several encour aging signs in the existing situa tion. which tend partially to offset some unfavorable factors. December began with a sudden turn to colder weather in different sections, includ ing the east, and this gave, impetus to the movement of seasonable goods to consumers, which lias been re tarded this fall by unusually high temperature? over area. The backward demand in that quarter naturally had lias a deterious effect in some other directions, but this condition (is being ameliorated in some degree now, and there is an ex pectation of a heavy turnover of holi day merchandise.

Lesson From Mark Twain. Thrift Magazine. "Merry Christmas to you ! I wish to God 1 could huvo one myself be fore I die." This was the concluding sentence of a letter written in the lute 80’s ljy Mark Twain to a friend. At thsjit time he had won recognition and fume as a writer that reached around the world. Few men have ever gained greater plaudits based an real merit than were Mark Twain’s at thjjt period. The sale of his books lnjd netted him more than $1,000,000. Yet the despairing sentences at the close of this letter told the story of a man who. having acquired fame and fortune, having brought lnipiness into millions of homes, having virtually shaken the sides of humanity with laughter, was himself deep in the slough of despair. The publishing business in which he had invested liis entire capital had failed. The great writer was pressed on every hand by creditors. Others scrupulous than lie. might have wig gied through and let the creditors hojd the bag. Ru Mark Twain was a man of honor. 1 i his code of ethics there were no h words as evasion ai)d chicanery. It is to be said to bis everlasting credit that, notwithstanding the fail ure of bis company, be saw that every creditor was paid every penny due. Care in the handling of funds is a lesson all should learn. No matter how brilliant one may be in other re spects. bow experienced or bow re sourceful in developing an income, all will come to naught unless one's af fairs are administered in a thrifty manner. j Thrift often is more generous in her gifts than Genius.

Bright sunshine brings moderating weather today after an overwhelming demonstration of Winter's icy forces during the past four days in this! section. -Climaxing the period of severe! weather here, a driving sleet-storm, propelled by a brisk northeast wind, raged throughout tii,e v morning hours of Sunday, blanketing the section under an inch of ermine. Tempera tures began sinking to new low lev els for the season early Saturday night, and at midnight rain was turned into sleet. Even the old-timers do not recall j such unusual weather for this vi cinity. The dying days of Xovember were marvelous, the weather being similar to Springtime, but as De cember began its trek across the sands of time, Winter, belated, rush ed forth to demonstrate its powers. Cloudy weather existed as Decem ber arrived. Rain began falling, con tinuing almost uninte rrup te d throughout Thursday night, Friday and Saturday. A driving northeast er joined the elementary frolic late Saturday afternoon, whipping the rain about in tornado-like style, and drenching most anybody who hap pened to be out regardless of the pro tection of their storm raiment. - With amazing rapidity tin* mer cury began tumbling t y low areas Saturday night; and a driving rain spent its fury unchecked. Saturday night being the worst evening people recall here in many months. As mid night made known its arrival tin* temperature had reached sub-freezing points, sleet falling from % then until the late hours of Sunday morning. The unheralded touch of the Ice King caught the population here un prepared in many respects. The ma jor trouble, however. was to "leaking roofs." The steady rain and the sleet-carpet sought the flaws in housetops, meeting with surprising success, as tin shops and other linns versed in the art of roof repair werfi swamped in calls for immediate help to stop the flow. ■ The firms advised the callers to rest at ease until the weather had brightened up and repairs could be done. The sleet-carpei provided a stage for several near-tragic accidents in tin* city and county Sunday, the most serious of which occurred early Sun day night when •Sam Surrey drove a couptv in. ,the artificial hike at Kan napolis. The youth extricated him self from the coupe in In-iVxvt wajtcr, by smashing out the rear glass win dow and swimming ashore. News qf this accident travelled swiftly, anfl many wild rumors were going the rounds in this city. One'rumor de clared that an enclosed car ha|.l plunged into the take, at least fiv ( e persons having been drowned, and that the lake was being drained to permit recovery of the dead. Survey’s car ploughed through tl\e lake guards and into the pool, after his vehicle had been siweswiped by another car on the highway which runs alongside the water. Several small accidents were re ported, quite a number of auto fen ders being damaged but there were no reports of serious injury to any per sons. The rainstorm, which ultimately developed into a sleet storm with its fierce breath from the northeast, covered, the whole of North Carolina, extending from coast to the moun tains. In the mountain regions anil further east snow and sleet fejl while as the storm advanced tovvarfl the coast, winds reached gale-like pro portions, endangering many vessels along the Carolina coast. Two persons are known to have frozen to death in Central-Carolina from the severe cold. Four men are believed to have lost their lives at sea off the Carolina coast. The Funds That Men Forget. Thrift Magazine. A New York business man opened his morning mail recently to find a dividend check'for some mining shares that he had forgotten he possessed. After a loug search the certificates were found hidden away in a box in his attic at home. Ten years ago he considered them worthless and during the intervening time lie had never counted them among his assets. Literally millions of dollars—it would require no stretch of the imagination to make it hundreds of millions —lie idle in this country to day largely as the result of sheer neglect and carelessness. When .John Skelton Williams was United Stales Comptroller, 'several years ago. it was computed that 3.3 per cent of all the savings account* in the country were dormant. In the rural districts alone, it was said, there were no less than 800,000 accounts, totalling $22,000,000 being held for missing owners. In New York alone, there are more than 30.000 dormant accounts, one survey shows, with ag gregate balances running high into the millions. In January 1823. Johanna Murphy came into possession of two shares of the stock of a New York bank. What has since become of Johanna no one knows. Since the day, 102 years ago. when she bought the stock, the bank lias declared 107 dividends and with each declaration it has advertised for Johanna to come and get her mouey. Rut neither Johanna nor any of her progeny has ever come to claim a dividend. Added to the amount, of capital tied up in forgotten savings accounts, un redeemed securities and uncashed in terest coupons, there is probably not far from $300,000.000 of actual money hidden away in crooks and crannies. | Thousands of persons have saved this , tremendous wealth only to hoard it as the miser hugs his gold. • CONCORD COTTON MARIvLT j Cotton 19 Cotton seed .00 ( BEDDING TO INDUCE early purchasing im bedding, we’re offering a spedal vd,. \vi nh ' dl t (It ,! , ‘‘lit This is your opportunity u> ] av ■ at prices considerably lower than Vii Ur weeks hence. - \ - ; jc a't a i(^ Cotton * Blankets W 00l Mixed Double- _ !
