C grid iron history, when they met in Char lotte last Friday to play off the tie that resulted when the two teams met on Sprunt field Friday the week be fore. Fhre fall quarters were played but at the ea4 they had gained noth ing. The tame coded in a 6-6 tie. The following ia an account of the game taken from the Charlotte Ob server of last Saturday: Playing a fine brand of football, before more than S.50O interested spectators, Shelby and Monroe again went to a tie, though each side made six points yesterday as against noth ing apiece a week - ago. Frenzied rooters from each town were here in abundance and the playing field re sounded with cheers for the two teams. The strain was intense, and ex citement was keen, but both teams conducted themselves in the most gentlemanly way and played hard, clean football from start to finish. In their anxiety to win, each side was frequently off-sides or was caught at some minor infraction of the rules; but nothing but the finest conduct marked their play, and each team covered itself witfy enough glory to last for the remainder of the season. Five periods failed to gain a de cision. The teams played four frill time periods and then tossed up The coin for choice of goals and played another 12-minute period, all to no avail. They are no nearer a decision than they were when they started two weeks ago and they have played nine periods of football. The teams are as evenly matched as these nine periods of an even break would indicate. Shelby ex cells in some departments of the game and Monroe excells in others; but a grand sum total makes them about even, as far as we were able to judge. Monroe outplayed Shelby In the first half, and Shelby outplayed Monroe in the second half, and they divided honors in the final period, the ball ending up near the center of the field in the possesion of a Shelby man, who had just intercepted a for ward pass. In fact time was up while tie ball was h tbe aie. . - Coach Leyene, of Wake Forest, and Fhil Utley, of the same institution, acted as referee and umpire respec tively while Pharr, of Davidson, was headlinesman. These officials work ed out an unusually good game. They inflicted a lot of penalties; but all of them were called for" and there was nothing but fairness In their inten tions and in our opinion no better officiating has been seen here this year. . Each team had victory within her grasp in the four regulation periods: first it was Monroo who carried the ball to the three-yard line and on the fourth down a back dropped a forward pass in the end zone. The pass was riht in his hands and should nave been held onto. Then it was Shelby who on some three occasions missed easy chances at geld goals, only one of which was needed to win for the club. Henricsse, captain for Shelby, missed by inches a dropkick from the 50-yard line. It was higher than the cross-bar but swerved out side the posts. Monroe scored first when M. Fair ley put the ball within striking dis tance with a 30-yard run around Shel by's left end. It was then carried ov er on the third rush by Laney, who failed at the attempt for a placement kick. ; . In the second period Monroe missed the chance to score on the forwaid pess back of the goal posts, and af ter that Shelby, took charge of the ban for the srreater part ot the lime In the third period Shelby went ovpr for its touchdown. Connor car rvinir the ball and failing nt the Shelby excelled at forward passes. while Monroe had a most exceusni delayed pass through the lino which brought yardage time after time. A sweeping end run with Lane carry-inn- the ball was another rol play executed by ,Monroe, while Shelby pulled off a fine triple pass and several short passes to good gains. It was one of the best nign school games ever played here, and ended just as it should have, for ihjra was not enouzh difference in the two teams to change the score. Monroe ouirht to have had another touch down and Shelby ought to have had a couple of field goals, making it 12 all instead of 6 each; but that's the freaks of the game. Whether the tame will be f layed again, or whether the team- will go around the elimination circuit witn the hopes that one or the other will be eliminated before they get hack, is a question that must be decided by the Chapel Hill committee. The third of the series of games be tween Shelby and Monroe to play off the tie resulting from the game in Charlotte Friday, will be played at Wearn Field in Charlotte tomorrow at 2:30.

W ho Was Elected. Has Moved Away and Will Offer Res ignition Womaa Member? The duty of appointing a county commissioner will fall upon Clerk of the Court Lemmond immediately af- ter the first Monday in December, when the new board roes in. . The newly elected board consists of John Griffith,, A. A. Secrest and Dr W. R. McCam. Dr. McCain has mov ed to High Point to take up the nrar tic left by his brother) .the late Dr, White McCain. He has notified Mr Lemmond that while tie will qualify as commissioner and take part in the organization of the new board, he ex pecta to immediately offer his resiff- nation. Thereupon Mr. Lemmond will appoint a member to fill the un expired term, .which in this instance means a full term. Mr. Lemmond has been informed that there will be presented for hts consideration at least two names. One is that of Mr. W. D. Bivens, former commissioner, and a candidate in the primary. Mr. Bivens had a little higher vote in the primary than Dr McCain, but withdrew in favor of the latter on the ground that he thought that section of the county ought to be represented. Taking this idea of the new situation friends ol dir. J. v.. McCain of Waxhaw. will present hi name as the most suitable man to succeed his brother. So far these are the only two names that have been formally presented to Mr. Lemmond, but there is some indication that the name of some woman as the third member of the board will be brought forward. SENDS BEST WISHES; ALSO GOOD CHECK Mr. G. A. Marsh, Former Union Coun ty Man, Remembers Children Home of his Native County Rev. E. C. Snyder has received the following letter from Mr.- O. A Marsh of Charlotte, which explains itself. Mr. Marsh's friends in the county will be sorry to know that he does not thing his health improving; muc.i. The letter is as follows: "Dear Bro. Snyder: I just want you to know that I appreciate your efforts in behalf of the orphans of Union county, and to assure you of my symapthy and my prayers in this laudable undertaking,-. All orphan nave a warm piace in my neuri, una especially those of my native county. "I am enclosing check for 325.00 to aid you in your great work. "I suppose you know I hav b?jn very sick for the past eighteen months. I do not improve, hut am still extremely nervous. "Your sincere friend, "G. A. Manh." Officer Helms Captured a Home' made Roulette Board Monday morning Judge Lemmond reviewed the exploits of some young man of Nrth Monroe charged with pull ng off a gambling stunt with a homemade roulette wheel in Hub Derrick s hot dog emporium in North M woe. The persons involved were Fred Owcni, Quincey Derrick, Joe li'.ojr.i and Hi 11 Griffin, the latie: claiming that hs was the manufactur er of the b.urd. Judge Lemmond took emm: of his mercy and let them all off w th tl a costs, which amounted to son.e six dollars each, and Chi"f Spoon smashed up the ouija board Hie police had for some time been receiving cmphvits that all was not strictly within the law around the hot cog stand, and they kept their eyes peeled awhile. Last Wednesday night 1 oliceman Helms made a rear and frontal attack upon the place at eight oclotk in the evening and bag ged the gamesters. He approached from the rcai, slipped around to the front and grabbed a boy that was acting as watchman upon the tower, and marched into the front door. The home-made roulette wheel was spinning for a pot made up of a dime from each participant. They were indicted for gambling. Legion Minstrel Tickets. There are two committees selling tickets lor th Monroe Merry Min strels show, which is to be staged by the Legion Friday even'ng at the school auditorium, and the chairman of each is Miss. Mary Griffith and Miss Dorothy Lee. Reserve seat tick ets may be bought at the Union Drug oiure wnere a man ui seats in me auditorium can be seen. The prices are. reserved seats, 51. UU: general ad mission, 75c; and school children's special tickets, 50c. . Dr. Nance Critically III. Dr. G. B. Nance is at his home crit ically ill. He worked last Friday and on Friday night had an attack. Re maining in bed Saturday he had a much severer attack Saturday after noon, from which he has not yet re covered and there.are grave fears for his Condition. An'affection of the kid neys is the trouble. He has suffered intensely and is far from being out of serious danger. Mr. .Archie King, who has been transferred to one of Uncle Sam's big battleships has gone to Constanti nople with his ship, which was order ed to that port last week to protect United , Mates citizens there. It Is not likely that the American Jackies will have to be called upon to do any actual scrapping, further than to quell disorders that may threaten the safety of any American citizen, the fhip being ordered to the Turkish port as a precaution. Waxhaw En- lerpnse. NOW GOOD ROAD FROM MONROE TO ALBEMARLE North and South Traffic la Being Di verted Both ays to New Keute Running Through Monroe The thirty seven miles af road be tween the courthouse in Monroe and the courthouse in Albemarle are now in fine shape, Stanly county having just completed a splendid road from Albemarle to the bridge over Rocky River. This road at present ia better than the union county road to the bridge, it being newer and much wid er. The composition of the1 roads are the same, gravel type, and very much alike. The winding around the great mils, tne long and smooth stretches. gives one almost a mountain-like ef feet travelling over it. For the present north and south traffic is being diverted from two main highways, the one running along the line of the Southern rail road and the one running along the Seaboard. This is on account of work going on on these lines. Trav filers coming from the north by way ot Kaleigh, leave the big way at San ford and come by Carthage. Mt. G lead and Briscoe to Albemarle, and thence to Monroe. This route brings them over two big steel bridges, the one across the Yadkin and the one over the Rocky River. The same thing is true of the highway running north and south along the Southern. Therefore Monroe is 1 kely to see many a car with a tag of some north eastern state bound for Florida. The Albemarle route is now the best one from Monroe to Raleigh.' Mr. T. B. Laney, of the Secrest Motor Company, noticed the other day a New York tag which bore the number 1,010,197, which shows that they have some automobiles in that stats. Mr. Laney says that the tour st who stop at the garages are usually very talkative and social minded. They ask much about the country and are anxious to tell about their own. The Monroe Chamber of Commerce has prepared some leaflets tellings about Monroe and the county wnicn are given to the travellers, Seeing so many cars bound for Flor ida, Mr. Laney asked a man from Vermont why he was going to 1 lor.rta. "Hell," said the traveler. "I can live better in Florida without any job than l can live in Vermont with good salary." MILL.

With A. J. Draper as president and Charles Iceman general manager its success is assured.

I A COLORED YARDMAN IS CRASHED TO DEATH Cm Williaais, While Riding Switch - Eagite is Swept Off the Deck Md Groand to Pieces -Gos Williams, a colored man work ing; at the railroad shopa, was crush ed ttf death under a switch engine Sunday afternoon. The engine ran perfcapa a hundred yards before it waa discovered that he was tinder it and ait bod was taken out, cut and torn' all to pieces, with life extinct Tea accident occurred ia an un uatJ way. A long piece of iron rod, abeU vo and a half inches in diam eterlad been loaded across the front of tt. switch engine and was being carried 'up to the station to be put an I) train." The ends of the rod pro truded .on each side of the engine. Gus was standing on the front of the engine, engineer Hoyt Howie and flreaun Henry Barett were in the cab. As the engine passed the live stock loading stand on the side of the yard one end of the bar struck it and the long bar swept up and across the , engine front like the boom of (great ship, sweeping every thing before it. The men in the cab did nof see that Gus was missing af ter th bar flew off and they did not know .that anything had happened to hi in till a man on the yard be gan to wave vigorously, shouting and polntng under the engine, which was stopped as quickly as possible. A MERCHANT WHO PAYS NO TAXES NOR RENTS Hiram Williams, Lone Engaged in Sowing Wild Oats, Now Doing Bumble Business on Corner Hiram Williams, one of the old time darkies of Monroe, has for some time fceen a merchant. Hiram spec ialize on lead pencils, and he pays no takes and is charged no rent. An humble old darkey who was engaged vigosflusly for some .quarter of a cen- turyM in sowing his wild oats, and now reduced to a wooden leg and a borrowed chair. Hiram Williams.mer chant, perhaps has as many friends and Well wishers in his humble snhpre hs alny other merchant in Monroe, considering the size of his stock and the amount of business which he is ambitious to do. Everybody likes Hi ramf because Hiram likes everybody. ' AB day long Hiram sits at the English Drug Store corner with his wtra stock of roods in his hand and hivng irg on the sidewalk beside him. Un busy days he stays by the job and gets no dinner. He says he cant afford to close up while people are passing and business is. good. N'eal English says that Hiram is a born salesman, and cites as proof of the fart how he cinched a sale with Will Rudge, himself a pencil salesman, and his friend Walt Nor wood, both out for a good joke on their friend Hiram. Some one undertook to kid Hiram about running an opposition to the Drug Store in the' pencil business and asked him if they didn't object to having him sell right in front of their door. "The English Drug Store is srentlemens," replied Hiram, "dis cheer I'm sitting in belongs to dem and Mr. Blair told me to set right here wher I could seepeople comin' both ways and sell 'em pencils." "But you buy your pencils from them, don't you?" he was asked. "'n Rir I hllVQ nnnpila frn,w tha Ionroe Hardware Company, which is also gentelmens, and lets me have 'em at cost." Some months aeo Hiram lost his foot and about the same time he lost something else, he says, which was a taste for booze. He had carefully cultivated that taste for many years but now seems proud to be relived from it. News and Personal Items From Marshville Town Marshvillc, Nov. 21.

SHUTE MUST PAY DAMAGES TO NASH Case Carried to Supreme Court From Union County U Decided Ia Favor of The Plaintiff rnaleirh Newa Obierverl Letting water drip from eaves of a nouse lor 'ii years doesn t neces sarily mean that the owner has a right to let it continue to drip in definitely, according to the Supreme Court, which holds that a Monroe man must pay damages because he refused to keep his water off an other man who built a house on an adjoining lot. J. T. Shute owned the opera house in Monroe, which he purchased from two remaindermen who had inherit ed it in 1911 after the death of J. T. Ezzell, who held it from 1872 as a life tenant. The opera houss was built in 1Sh8, which was 22 years before H. G. Nnsh decided to build his house adjoining it in 1920. Shute claimed an essement to let his water drip and held that advors? possession of 20 years gave him a permanent right to the easement. Judge Clark confirming the lower court says that Shute could not claim any rights acijuired by J. T. Ezzell, the life tenant, fls he got the land from the remaindermen, and explain ed that while the "remaindermen would hava had the r;ht to soe that their interest in the inheritance was protected, the right was not within that priviljge. It was not until 1920 that the water drinninir from th. root negan to damage anybody, and ! l ior to that there could be no claim ii) an easement.

She also makes it clear that she has no right to compete for prize honors in any bathing queen's contest. In this production Miss Mason per forms sme diing and swimming feats that would mark her as a pro fessional aquatic star. She also dis plays unusual ability as a classic dan cer) n.H to mention her feats of horsomsnship. which provide some I'rusual thrill in the production. Miss Mason exhibits innumerable bcau y gowns in her latest picture, in addition t, novl riding suits and bathing ou fits. Her dancing and fencing costumes also display start ling originality. Wallace McDonald plays opposite he star in "Youth Must Have Love." which is a new type of drama for Miss Mason, the story dealing in mys tery and intrigue, with a charming romance running through. The pict ure will be shown at the Strand The tre Wednesday.
