No. 124 r t t I. h n k ' r ! r n DINNER TO THE VETERANS. - A Large Number of Them Present To , day, the Anniversary of Jefferson Davis' Birthday. One hundred and fifty Confederate Veterans of Cabarrus county were the ' guests of the Daughters of the Con j federacy at the dinner today at the ' court house, the occasion being the an niversary of the birth of Jefferson Davis, the only president of the Confederacy. The veterans began to arrive at an early hour this morning and op to noon they continued to arrive from . the many various townships and near- by towns. All during the forenoon the veterans gathered in litfle groups on the streets and told of their experi ences while in battle arid camp dur ing the time iihey were following the banners of the immortals, Lee and Jackson. At 12 o'clock all assembled at the court house. Bev. T. W. Smith in voked God's divine blessing upon the gathered, after which each and every veteran was served with a tray con taining many good things to eat. Each tray contained sandwiches, beef, pick les, biscuit and ice cream, which was served by a number of young ladies of the city. They also served lemonade and cigars, the latter being the gife oj Register of Deeds Harris. The Woodman band played many lively airg that seemed to thrill the very souls of the veterans and num bers of them did not hesitate to give vent to their feelings, by clipping off a few jigs or shouting their approval. The Veterans Choir sang as only the Veterans Choir can sing, their songs . arousing the veterans to the highest " pitch of enthusiasm. A reporter asked Mr. A. M. Hinson if he remembered what he was doing on this day 46 years ago. He prompt- ' lv replied, "Fighting the Yankees on Cold Harbor battlefield near Rich mond." When Mr. G. W. Blackweld , . er, of Mt. Pleasant, was asked the , same question, he replied, "Was nurs ing a wound I received on June the 1st." Mr. John Hatchcock was also , ,6in this battle. Mr- Henry Cress, of No. 8 township, and Mr. H. W. Mc Clara, of No. 2 township, could not re sist the temptation of cutting a few fancy steps down the. aisles and they proceeaea to uo bo, waue meir com rades stood by and cheered them on. i Cant; IL JB. Parks and the Woodman band ran in opposition to each other for several minutes in earning the at- Vtention of the crowd but finally the ' , sonorous voice of the Captain subdued the patriotic strains that weraemana ting from the musical instruments and - requested each veteran to register as thev passed out. The longer the gathering lasted the greater the enthusiasm and the men who are looked upon as the quiet, re served men of affairs threw off their quiet manners and with the glories of the 60s still about them and their man hood triumphant still made one more charge, but not upon the serried hosts of anv foe but into the arms of their beloved comrades." It is very prob- able that if the meeting had lasted a few more minutes such reserved vet- 1 erans as Messrs. H. W. Lmdwig, D. B. Coltrane and . D. Barringer would have also tripped it on the nght fan- - tastie toe, as they had already formed a single line near'tho stove and were 'Watehinsr their comrade . as they ; danced gleefully by. At the close of y r the meeting a vote of thanks was ex tended to the Daughters of the Con federacv and the Woodman Band, af ter which th rebel yell was given and the ratherinz adjourned. ? Mrs. W.

A Chalmers-Detroit touring car, oc cupied by two ladies and two gentle men and Jbeing driven at top speed, collided with a telephone post about a mile from the city last night be tween 9 and 10 o'clock, almots com pletely wrecking the car and throwing the occupants into a nearby ditch. The accident happened at a sharp turn in the Dowd road and must have been due to the darkness or the unfamik aritv of the driver with the road. Going at the estimated speed of forty mUes an hour, the car struck the post squarely in the centre,' tearing the hood off, seriously damaging the engine and. wrecking the"other parts. Both ladies and men were burled sev eral feet into a ditch, but mervelonsly escaped any serious injuries. One of the men may be noticed with a slight from severe bruises. The automobile will have to be rebuilt, y Junior Order District Meeting. Order of this district will be held ta this city June 22 and 23.

Aycock, subject to the ratification 'jof the Democratie van- vention to be held in Charlotte on July 1, 1910. L. C BAGWELL. ; (Raleigh, N. C, May 5, 1910, A GREAT FEAT. English Channel Crossed and Re- crossed in Wright Biplane. The Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls, captain in the London section of ;the army motor reserve, driving a Wright biplane, vindicated Anglo-Saxon ; ae ronautics by crossing the English Channel twice Thursday evening without alighting. He made the round' trip between Dover and Calais in 90 minutes. While two Frenchmen, Louis Bler- iot and Count Je Lesseps, have cross ed the channel in an aeroplane, it re mained for an Englishman in am American machine to perform the double act. The distance across' be tween the two points is 21 miles, so that his over water flight of 42 miles establishes a new record. Capt. Rolls left Dover at 6:30 o'clock. The atmospheric conditions were excellent. He lost no time in maneuvers, but after describing a circle headed toward the coast of France. In anticipation of the flight, torpedo boats steamed at full speed across the strait, but the pace of the aeroplane was swifter. Captain Rolls sent his machine to a great height of 800 feet, and at that altitude he skimmed through -the air like a great bird. The motor worked perfectly. The crowd that matched the start confidently awaited the re turn, and it was not long before the speck, whch those who had telescopes saw disappear on the French coast, reappeared, giowiog larger every min ute. When finally the aviator became vis ible to the naked eye cheer after cheer arose from the enthusiastic spectators ,and as he giacefully soar ed toward the landing place made fa mous by Bleriot he was given an Ova tion. He alighted at 8 o'clock at al most the same spot as Bleriot, show ing little signs of the strain of his magnificent flight. The Davidson Glee Club. The entertainment by the Davidson College Glee Club at the Central graded schol building last night (was a most creditable performance in ev ery way and deserved a larger audi ence than was present. Each young man performed his part in a ory clever manner and caught the audi ence from the very beginning of the program. All of our people who wit nessed the performance are enthusi astic in their praise of th.' Davidson boys. The boys of the glee club are a set of manly looking y--n? men and conducted themselves as such during leir stay in Concord and we regret very much that the audience was not as large as their performance de served. Walking from Atlanta to New York. D. F. Pierce, a pedestrian walking from Atlanta to New York over the National Highway, spent several hours in the city this morning on his way north. Pierce made, the trip from New York to Atlanta in nine weeks and is now on his return trip, which he expects to complete in six more weeks. He left Atlanta on May 13. Pierce reports that the roads from Charlotte to 'Concord are the best he has encountered on his jour- nev back north. He is a native of Atlanfa and was formerly employed as a cotton mill operative. More Cotton Planted.

Spectators Grew Wild at Foul Flay in a Wrestling Match Between King and Humphrey in Charlotte. Wth two wrestlers glowering at each other, surrounded by several doz en enraged spectators, and the chief of police and his men in the midst of the scene, what narrowly missed be ing a serious riot and general mix-up occurred on the platform where A. L. Humphrey, Charlotte s crack pitcher in the Carolina League, and Frye King, a professional wrestler from Washington, had gust concluded a bout which was awarded to Hum phrey because his opponent had used the strangle hold on him, after con tinued warning from the referee at the auditorium in Charlotte Thurs day night, says a Charlotte corres pondent in today's Raleigh News and Observer. The referee had warned King to cut out his fouling tactics on the mat, while the spectators were growing ex cited and more angry at the manner in which the' baseball man was being handled by King. Finally, the ref eree slapped King on the back as a sign that the bout was forfeited, and then tried to pull King off Hum phreys. Immediately the chief and several officers were over the ropes and in the ring, while Humphrey, rising to his feet, stood ready to make a lunge at King, this time not for a fall, but for a fight. The crowd surged in, and pandemonium reigned for five minutes, while the crowd yelled and a general riot seemed im minent. King was then quickly led from the platform and the manager announced that the match was award ed to Humphrey, although no fall had been made, after fifteen minutes of lieree work on the mat. At the last moment, when the men turned on the mat, and King's fingers and hand were seen covering !his opponent s throat, the crowd, already excited to the limit of their powers of restraint, made a dash for the platform. The excitement was of a dangerous quality and that no further serious trouble ensued was by a hair's breadth. The presence of the policemen doubtless avoided the incipient riot;. Dr. Caldwell to be Married June 15. Invitations have been issued to the marriage of Dr. D. G. Caldwell, one of Concord's leading physicians, to Miss Camille MoCorkle, of Moores- ville, which will take place on the evening of June 15 at 6o 'clock at the First Presbytenan church an Moores- ville. This announcement will be re ceived with much interest by a large circle of friends of both Miss Mc- Corkle and Dr. Caldwell. Good oRads in No. 11.
