"Mr. Draper, the president of the
new mill consolidation, u certainly a
great admirer of his associate, Mr,
Charles Iceman. 1 he speaker was
Mr. N. C. English. "Meeting him the
other day," he continued. "I casually
mentioned the fact that I considered
Mr. Iceman the best mill man in the
state. 'Yes,' he agreed, 'there is no
questioning that. Personally, I think
he is the best in the South. Do you
remember when the directors of the
big Malborough cotton mill had him
to pull them out of the hole: I nap
pened to be down there one day when
he was going through the plant in
an etfort to speed up production.
Stopping at a spindle, Mr. Iceman
said to the foreman: "I won't your
production increased fifty per cent.'
'But sir,' expostulated the foreman,
'It cannot be done.' Looking hard at
the man, Mr. Iceman said: 'There
is the door. I know you can turn out
fifty per cent more yarn and if you
think you can t, take the door. ihe
foreman elected to stay, and I happen
to know that he did increase produc
tion fifty per cent, like Mr. Iceman
told him he could.

The Judge's Money-Rack Offer
"Some of the boys are trying to
get me to make the admission fee to
the old-time fiddler's convention on
Armistice dny 15 or twenty cents,"
Judge W. D. Lemmond complained
the other day. "I am not going to do
it," he continued. "The admission wUl
be either $1 and 75 cents, or 75, and
50 cents. The fiddlers and banjo pick

will give a performance fully worth
that amount. Proceeds of the conven

of the celebration. "I'll tell you what

"After the family left home for

that her voice had returned, and was
able to reach the telephone and com

LIGHTEST VOTE IN YEARS
IS INDICATED IN UNION

Thousand, Is Estimate
VOTERS ARE MANIFESTING
LITTLE INTEREST IN ELECTION
Hammer Is Leading Lore By a U i
Margin for Congress Fate of the
Amendment In Doubt, But It is Be
lieved Rural Vote Will Kill Effort
to Increase Salary of Legislators.
A visit to the Monroe nrecincts.
where voters are casting their bal
lots in the general election, revealed
the fact that Union county would in
ill probability cast its lightest vote
today in years. At no time were 'he
voting places crowded. Fiftv-six had
voted at North Monroe a little befoie
noon. Usually the vote at this pre
circt by th's hour ranges from 150
to 200. Fifty-four had voted at South
Monroe, conpared to a usual vote
of around 2)0. It is now estimated
that the democratic majority in this
county will not exceed 2,000.
Thcr is ri contest of any impor
tr.nc rvcopt for Congress and on the!
constitutional amendment that would
increa?) th: salary of legislators
frm $t to $10 per day. W. B. Love
of Monroe, the republican candidate,
is feck ng to oust W. C. Hammer, the
democratic incumbent.
Hammer, naturilly, is leading Mr.
Love by a wide mirgin. The vote on
the amendment is close at the Mon
roe precincts, but it is thought that
the heavy rural vote will swamo ihe
effort to give the legislators more
pay.
Inclement weather and lack of lo
cal interest in "off-year" elections is
assigned as the reason for the small
vote.

BOLL WEEVIL "TRAP" IS
ONE OF LATEST INVENTIO
Contraption Is Said to Eliminate the
Pests Almost Entirely From the
Fields That Are Infested
Much interest has been aroused in
this county by the announcement of
the invention of a unique weevil des
troying device. It is known as the
Ketchmo Boll Weevil Trap and is a
triangular shaped structure, about
two feet high, with th? apex of the
triangle at the bottom. The sides ar?
covered with wir9 screen, slanting
downward to two trough-like gutters
of galvanized iron. The two sideo do
not come together at the bottom, but
leave a sort of slot through which the
trap is placed down over the cotton
row, so that the plant cornea? inside
of the trap. Across the inside of the
trap are bars, from which hang pieces
of metal. The trap is carried along
by hand along the row, and as the
metal pieces strike against the vari
ous parts of the plant, the weevils
are fhaken off and fall into the
trough at the bottom. 'At the end of
the row, the weevils are shaken out
into poison mixture. It is ft--'
that the weevils, when tnmnej by the
metal pieces, immediately fall and do
not attempt to fly away, so that the
'rap fractically rids the plant of all
ike insects that may be on it at the
time the trap is carried over the row.

Novus Homo Had An Amusing Expe
rience Saturday Listening to the
lomment or Folks As They Bought
Books For Their kid Miss Rod
man Gets Thanks of Farmers For
Her Generous Offer.
Waxhaw, Route 1. Nov. 6. Almost
suddenly, the young wife of Mr,
rrank King was taken from him by
the grim monster, death, on Mon
day night, Oct. 30th.
lhese young people were just
sianing out in lite, having been mar
ncn tm.y a lime more tnan a vear,
whi-.i this enemy invaded the home
and cast gloom and almost unbear
able sadness and dispair thereon.
We learn that the immediate cause
of her death was ptomaine poisoning,
and in spite or the skill of both Doc
tors Gouin and Ezzell. together with
the careful attention of many friends
and relatives, the insidious agent
persisted in progressing to the lim
it and blotting out the life of its vic
tim. The young husband and rela
tives have the heartfelt sympathy of
this community in this sad hour of
the-r bereavement.
We learn that the family of Mr. J
R. Jackson is having a severe seige
of sickness. Mrs. Jackson, as report
ed last week, is some better, but the
husband has been attacked and made
bedfast and one son is very low with
pneumonia. It is hoped these good
people will have a speedy recovery,
and ere long be in their usual state
of health.
Regrets Departure of Dr. McCain
The people of the community re
gret very much the decision of Dr.
McCain to leave us and locate in
High Point. However, we understand
Dr. tzzell or Lancaster and Dr
Gouin, who has spent the past sea
son on his farm in upper Sandy
Ridge, will be with us to look after
the afflicted.
Mr. Jas. H. Carter renorts a yield
of more than eighty bushels of sweet
potatoes from one of his patches
measur.ng one third or an acre.
People are beginning to get busy
with small grain sowing and. the
u-mthfr w uital for the n-ork. A
large acreage wifl be planted, and rf
the season is favorable, we expect a
irreat crop.
Mr. T. W. Secrest and a party of
- i . -ii i - !
melius win leave lor r lorma in a
few days. The 'Squire will take his
own car, and says he purposes to
travel about a hundreH miles a day,
and take in the country en route and

way in case he finds anyone needing

The writer was very much amused
Saturday listening to forced purchas
ers of school books at the Wolf Drug
Company. Mr. Wolfe is the book dis
penser here, and he is very obliging
and accomodating, always express
ing regret if unable to supply the
customers wants.
Mr. Gordon Was Glad .'
However, when Mr. A. R. Gordon
came in with a considerable lengthy
book list, Mr. Wolfe expressed doubt
as to his ability to fill same in these
words :
"Mr. Gordon, I'm afraid I haven't
all those." To which Mr. Gordon re
plied, "I hope you haven t.
The writer surmised on this ob
servation that it is sometimes diffi
cult just how to please a customer.
uvtitfrally he wants you to nave in
tock whatever he calls for, and then
:.fain he is better pleased if you
iuven't it.
This book question is a sock-dola-
ger and there is considerable dissat
isfaction both as to the number of
books required and also as to the
price charged for same.
One fellow remarked Saturday,
"when children had to walk and car
ry these multitude of books, even on
short distance, to the truck-line, they
would grow 'one-sided and be a gen
eration of deformed humanity."
It seems to folks who are plain and
only practical that it's very unpatri
otic, and an evidence of a low order
of citizenship that will condone spec
ulation on the books from which the
kids are to receive their initial train
ing in the schools provided for their
free tuition by the tax-money of the
citizenship.
Miss Rodman Gets Thanks
At ihe monthly meeting of the

These proposals were made to

The Ellen Fitzgerald hospital is to
be equipped with an X-ray machine
and an elevator. The cost, $5,000, is
to be defrayed by the city and county,
the former paying $1,500 and the lat

the local hospital on a par with the

It was shown that scores and scores

An elevator was needed .they said,

the steps often subjected them, to
discomfort.
The commissioners verv cenerous-

"I do not believe, as Mavor Vann
told the commissioners," said Mr. R.

left the court house, "that a single

It is for a humane purpose."
