Etc., Will Likely lie Fur nMied Mt an Early Date. Along with the building or asphalt street and adequate school facilities, the city of Monroe is now casting about to ascertain the nvost satisfac tory and economical way of securing an a b uiida at supply of water for years to come. About one hundred thousand gallons are consumed daily and for some time past the supply has been really Inadequate for pres ent needs until the opening up a few days ago of the new 180-foot well that has Just been drilled and which furnishes forty gallons a minute. The mayor' and board of aldermen are considering several propositions any ouo of which may eventually be decided upou after a thorough inves tigation has been made that will set tle the water question almost defi nitely. One U the construction of a reservoir holding about one and a half million gallons to have fendy for any emergency, especially during the summer months when the consump tion is much greater than in winter. Another proposition that has been brought to the attention of the of ficials is that of bringing a supply from Rocky river, fourteen miles away, but which would prove very expensive. letter From Engineers The following letter has been re ceived from the Carolina Engineer ing Company of Charlotte, addressed to Mayor Vann and the board of al dermen: In connection with your contem plated Improvemeta to your water supply sstem, we wish to offer our services 'as consulting engineers as follows: We would make comprehen sive surveys, investigations and stud ies of the local conditions and re quirements, together with all a ail able ami practical sources of water supply, and will prepare preliminary plans and estimates for developing a water supply system to meet your present and future requirements.

He believes that many more will do so at an early date. Kills His Father in Defense of His Mother Hickory, July 8. W. A. Marshall, 62, was shot ' and almost instantly killed by his son, Fred, at Granite Falls, Caldwell county late Tuesday, July 4th, according to a message re ceived here today.

SUFFERED BROKEN NOSE WHILE PLAYING BALL Happened as Mr. Richardson Was .Making Sensational Slide Mr. Melton Leaes for New Mexico Monroe Route 4, July 10. Crops in this vicinity are looking fairly well, considering the vast amount of rain during the season. However, the boll weevil has made his advent and is beginning to show signs of his des tructive work. L'ncle Billy Griffin, whose indispo sition has heretofore been reported through these columns, is slightly im proving and we hope to see him com pletely recover from the misfortune of getting a leg broke. Mr. D. Jackson Melton will leave in a few days to resume his law stud ies in New Mexico. Mr. Mellon, who attended the University Law School, is a clever young man of exceptional ability and has made an enviable rec ord in his studies. We understand he has been offered a flattering contract with a well-known law firm. Sandy Ridge is proud of this deserving young man and awaits his success, which we think is sure to coma. Mrs. Bright Gay has been sick for the past few days. Quite a number of the young folks enjoyed an ice cream supper at the home of Charlie Carne Saturday night. The annual series of protracted services wiil open at Sandy Ridge Baptist church the second Sunday in August. The pastor, Rev. T. P. Lit tle, will be assisted by Rev. A. Marsh of Marshville. Our community is showing some perceptible sign of progress despite the ravages of the boil weevil. Messrs. T. F. Griffin & Son are increasing their stock of general merchandise, and Messrs. A. H. and John Richard .on, who recently installed a corn mill, are operating it with success. The local baseball fans were some what disappointed Saturday afternoon when the game scheduled between Sandy Ridge and New Bethel failed to materialize, the latter team fail ing to appear on account of rain. Nevertheless, one of the best games of the season was played between members of the home team, and the fans had an opportunity to see the home boys do their best. Melton and Simpson, two of the first line pitchers, were in tine trim and both "shot it by" the boys with seeming easy. The features of the game were the pitch ing of Melton and Simpson and the base running of J. Richardson. Mr. Jonah Richardson, Sandy Ridge's star right fielder, suffered a broken nose while making a sensu tional bare slide at second during the game Saturday. Mr. Richardson was carried to Dr. Garren's office where he was given medical attention, and is doing fine. We are glad to see our progressive neighbor, Mount Prospect, forging to the front. Hurrah for her and Eu ford! We have a high school at lust! Death of Mr. G. A. Wolfe Mr. G. A. Wolfe died Sunday after noon about 3 o'clock at the home of his brother-in-law, Mr. Chas. A.

Mr. Wolfe' had been confined to his bed since las; Ihursiiay of 1.11 acute attack of kid ney trouble ar.d was unconscious for a day and a ha.f before his death. De ceased was "5 years of age and was a son of the late Mr. George Wolfe, who served on the first grand jury ever held in this county which met at LaBatt's Cross Roads, now the Tin die place, in April, 18-13. Mr. Wrolfe had been in bad health for many years and was compelled to give up his farming operations years ago. He was a unique character and was widely known and loved. For many years he had been a consistent member of the 1 Methodist church and was a most (excellent citizen. He is survived" by .urei pout, m . i, n one ui tta.Minw, C. K. Wolfe of Rock Hill. S.

Effort to Connect Missing Links in Highway Mr. J. W. Fowler, chairman of the street committee, and Mr. J. C. S kes, county attorney, will be in Raleigh Wednesday to confer with Mr. Page in regard to work on the links of the Charlotte-Wilmington highway in the city between the underpasses, and be tween the western limit of the pres ent contract one mile west of Bakers and the Mecklenburg line. Work will begin at an early date between the underpasses in Monroe and it is reas onably certain that the connecting I nk will be built between Bakers and the Mecklenburg line. The contract for a double track, concrete bridge across Richardson's creek at Lee's upper mill will be let the 23th of July and will be built by the state as a highway project. It is expected that the bridge across Bearskin creek just northwest of the city will be built soon and when these bridges are com pleted and the links west of Monroe connected up there will be a hard surfaced road all the way from Lee's mill, two miles east of Monroe, to Charlotte and on to Gastonia. The excellent gravel-grit top-soil from Richardson's creek to the Anson line completes a most excellent highway through Union county. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Clayton D. Collins Sunday, a daughter.

I WARNS AGAINST THE BOLL WEEVIL DANGER Says Parmer Should Not Denitne I'anick. Bit Must Put I p a Stnh-U-rn I ight Against t oe By T. J. V. Broom It is r.ot our nurpese to worry th farmers with loll weevil talk, but we do want to impress every one with the seriousness of the situation and the important-; o' tcttw up a fight to save the crop th' year. If we have hot dry weather during July and Au gust the damage from bill weevils will be greatly lessened, but if sea sons continue as we now have them serious damage is sure to result. The first brood of weevils are al ready making their appearance, that is the weevils that hioerr.ated here through the winter have already de posited their eggs in the young suuares and as a result a new brood of weevils are making their appear ance in many fields. If something is not dczi to check this rapid multipli cation there will soon be iv.illinns of weevils in our fields and the crp will soon be destroyed. As we stated last week the most effective rsethed of con'rol, if we are not going to poison, ii to pick un the squares. This, to be effective, should be done every three or four days. It is about three days from the laying of the egg until the grub is hatched and then in three or four days after hatching the square falls to the ground, usually, though they .sometimes hang on the stalk until the weevil emerges. In fourteen to twenty days after the egg is laid the weevil is out ready to start laying eggs for another brood. So we see the importance of picking squares ev evry three or four days. Should we allow the squares to lie on the ground as long ns seven or eight days and the weather is favorable the weevil may emerge before the square is picked. Some farmers are taking comfort from the reports that Texas farm ers are saying nothing about the wee vil and therefore the damage from the weevil is not so great after all. Yet, the truth is that the weevils did more !V'y"ul i P'"" Texas in the year l!?21 than in any previous year. The farm ers have gotten accustomed to weevil damage and quit talking about it. We should not get panicky or frightened over the situation, but use our heads and look at the matter in a commonsense way and we will see it will pay to fight. In order to put up a fight that will be effective it is necessary for us to know our foe, know his possibilities and his limita tions. We are told that an adult fe- ' X JLv-n Tvi 1 1 w isn ? ! 200 eggs average the sum- mer time is about fifty days. If we fight persistently to destroy all punc tured squares made by the first wee vils, and then diligently keep up the work of picking all squares as they fall, or at least until a fair crop of bolls have been set, we will then have won the fight and may expect a fair crop of cotton. We are glad to note that many pro gressive farmers have adopted this practice and are making it a rule to go over the fields every three or four days to gather the fallen squares. Dr. Weaver Attacks Gambling In his preliminary remarks before the sermon Sunday night, Dr. C. C. Weaver attacked the practice of bet ting on baseball games. He condemned il in very strong terms, but made it plain that he is an admirer of clean sports of every kind. He made the statement that there are only three ways of making money one is to beg it, another to work for it, and the third is to steal it and took the posi tirn that gambling in any way is a in m of stealing, and that a "straight" 111 a 1 will not engage in the practice, He further stated that the surest way to kill a ball team is to bet on it. Making the declaration that a man who will bet on a ball game will do anything possible to win, the minis ter said that when a fellow puts 100 up on a bail game he is liable to slip around and hand a player on the oth er side $")0 to give the game away, and that under such practices we nev er know when an honest game is be ing played. Dr. Weaver also states that officers sholud be as vigilant in their efforts to bring men who bet 1 on base hall Kamcs to justice as they highest mounta n east of the Rockies. He also relates a thrilling experience witnessed on the route to the top of the mountain over a road that is just wide enough for one car along side of precipices hundreds of feet below. On the upward journey the party was encountered by two large bulls that had found their way into the road and when the car approached them they made fight at it, as there was no way for them to get out ol tne roaa. ine driver of the car gave them a few hunches with his bumper, however, which started the animals along in front of the car. They were rushed so r tty that they had no chance aner traveling lur uuuuv a unto mcj discovered a trail that could be trav eled by them and appeared very deep ly gratified at the opportunity ol es- - . " . a. . ?. , the . occupants were fuLy as gratified as the bulls. ! PROSPECT PEOPLE BREAKING I SPEED LIMIT DOING THINGS They Crowd M.ire into One Half Day's Work Than Any Folks on Earth, t'orreapttnilent's Views THEY WORK REAL HARD AND PLAY EXCEEDINGLY WELL Says Ingredients in a Man Are Worth Italy Ninety-Eight Cents Racket Price By F. V. Hinoa Waxhiiw, Route 5. July 10. The people of Prospect are able to crowd more duinks in a half day than any other cjtnn. unity of people I know of. tor proof 1 will mention what they actually pulled off last Saturday. First they held a mass meeting and an edu cational raliy and started plans to build an eight-room brick school build ing. Next they w ent to the ball ground av.d crossei !.:.: with the Unity base bull team, v.-.::u:::g by the score of five to twelve, a::er which they moved to the church lawn and sold ice cream to the amount of thirty-two dollars wjrth. All of this was done beginning at two-thirty o'clock p. m. If Judge Lenimor.d doesn't get them for break ing the speed limit he will miss a good chance. Boll weevils are doing considerable damage in seral farmer's fields in this commur.i:y. In speaking to one of our farmers aoout the possible havoc that t!: boll weevil might work this season hi remarked. "Let 'em go. Every bvii they knock off looks like forty cen;s to me." The scribe at "Craw-Fish Hole," has made her a; pearance and explain ed her absence which I am sure is acceptable to all of the rest of the Journal family. We sympathize with her in the loss of her kinsman. What has become of one of route four's correspondents? We are going to infer that he has gone a rat-killing. Tom Sims of the Charlotte Obser ver asks: "What has become of the woman who can cook and rear a fam ily of ten children?" In answer I want to say they have moved to Char lotte. The Value of a Man There are different values to be placed on a man and different ways of reaching a conclusion as to the in trinsic worth or value of a man. A man is usually valued according to the amount of money he controls or amount of property he possesses. But tne mar. ".o aks an interest in his church and school to the extent that he is recognized ns a lender and in whom the public has the utmost con fidence, that can not be valued as to his worth to the community. Now here comes a scientist saying ihat a man is worth no more than the chemicals the body contains are worth. And he goes on to say how much and what the body contains, thusly: Fat enough to make seven bars of soap; iron enough to make a small nail, sugar enough to fill a shaker; lime enough to whitewash a chicken coop; phosphorus enough to make 2200 match heads; magnesium enough for a dose of magnesia; potassium enough to explode a toy cannon, and sulphur enough to rid a dog of fleas. Of course the size of the dog and the number of his tormenters will have to be considered. At any rate the cost of all ingredients amount to the sum total of US cents. Marshville News.
