properties in great cities.
Both are owners of considerable
estates in London which, in places,
have fallen into decay and become
almost slums, owing to the neglect
of sub-landlords. Both, now that the
houses are reverting to them under
the conditions of leases for a term
of years, wish to erect modern build
ings instead of the existing dilapidat
ed structures. But both have boon
met with the difficulty of housing old
tenants while re-building takes place.
The difficulty lias been.met by the
erection on the Prince of Wales
“Duke of Cornwall” estate in South
London of the “Old Tenants’ House.”
This has beeii built particularly for
aged women and poor cripples. It
suits their needs so well that many
will be disinclined to quit.
Imagine a quiet quadrangle with
little houses ranged in two stories,
with balcony entrances giving com
plete privacy. In most of these the
tenants are Darby and Joan couples
paying six shillings ($1.50) per week
for two rooms, with lighting free.
Other old women are paying one dol
lar a week for a living room with an
alcove bedroom. The tenants have
complete freedom of action and are
treated as though they were owners
of the highest-priced apartments in
the city.
What Os It?
“Sec the spider, my son spinuing
it’s web." said the instructive par
ent to his small son. “Is it not
wonderful? Do you reflect that lio
man could spin that web no matter
how hard be might try?”
“Well jWlutt of it!” replied the up
to date offspring. -“Watch me spin
this top. No spider can do that, no
matter how hard he might try.”

CABARRUS CAN GROW
BLUE GRASS AS WELL
AS STATE KENTUCKY
County Agent R. D. Good
man Writes About This
Fact From Raleigh Where
He Has Been For Week.
Kentucky may have more thorough
bred horses than Cabarrus but when
it .comes a blue glass this country
will send out just as fine samples as
that commonwealth which carries the
nickname of “The Blue Grass State”.
In other words Cabarrus can have
just as fine pastures as Kentucky,
according to County Agent It. D.
Goodman who writes from Raleigh
where he is attending the meeting of
county agents at State College.
Mr. Goodman went to Raleigh lust
Sunday and returns to Concord this
evening. FTe reports in a communica
tion that the meeting has been a
great success in every respect.
Mr. Goodman writes, in part: “On
visiting the farm of William L. Mor
ris during last May, J. It. Sams, ex
tension pasture specialist of North
Carolina, collected some of the finest
blue grass, he says, lie lias ever seen.
(Mr. Samsjms been in Kentucky and
a number of other states.) Mr. Sains
amt a sample of the grass to the
Western North Carolina Fair at
Asheville, and it was honored with
The prize of being the best blue grass
exhibited, giving Cabarrus credit with
growing blue grass three feet and
four inches high.
“This is an eye-opener, showing im
pressively that blue grass may lie
grown as successfully in the cotton
section as in Kentucky. Perhaps,
a bit of explanation of how easy Mr.
Morris got this grass would be 'iit or
der. He tells me that when he mov
ed to his present-farm about 20 years
ago he fenced up an area \khich sur
face was broken at places with
ditches and on which brooni sage and
briars flourished. The cattle and
sheep pastured within this area. No
eeds of any sort were planted in this
territory by Mr. Morris. . However,
there appeared blue grass and Japan
clover and in places Bermuda grass.
“A pasture can be had more quick
ly by preparing the land and sowing
seed. Any farmer can have a pas
ture if they try aud this is one of
the cheapest ways to care for live
stock. the raising of which tlu* Pied
mont section is making rapid prog
ress."

COLORED MAN’S
BRAVERY RIDS
CITY OF MAD DOG
Courageous Attack Prevents
Hydrophobic Animal
From Chewing Young Rita
Wallace to Bits.
West Corbin street residents may
well be thankful that the dusky skin
of Haywood Weeks eneloses a super
abundance of that quality called
courage.
Quick action on the part of the
colored man relieved that section of
a mad dog and prevented its literally
chewing up Rita Wallace, o-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Troy W al
lure, who is taking I’nsteur treatment
for the single bite on the hand, in
flicted before Weeks saw wlmt was
going on.
Haywood was driving leisurely up
West Corbin Thursday morning,
whistling a nieloncholy tune of blues
and thinking about .the dinner he’d
choose for Christmas if somebody
gave him file opportunity. As be
passed the Wallace home In* smiled at
the scene of evident happiness pre
sented by the tiny girl and the dog.
On closer scrutiny, however, lie read
a look of terror on Rita's face as the
dog jumped at her in a frenzied at
tack.
One bound took Haywood from his
wagon to the street. Another, and
he had picked up a piece of iron pipe
lying nearby. The dog, heariiig the’
uucomihg rush, turned to meet it, hut
:ril in vain. One well directed blow
with the pipe sent the frothing mon
grel to the ground, others broke bis
neck. The head was immediately re
moved and sent to Raleigh and re
ports from there confirm the belief
that the animal was suffering from
hydrophobia.
