There- have been many and various suggest ions concerning the course Concord should adopt in connection with the lnterurban, but a proposed line from here to Albemarle via MU Pleasant ap pears worthy of serious consideration by the people of this vicinity. ' The distance is 25 miles and the country along. tha route is full. of great and wonderful resource. . Our progressive neighbor, Albemarle, has already signified a strong desire to connect' with the main line of the in terurban, by sending a delegation of citizens to Charlotte to tha big inter- urban meeting, and such a line would be gladly welcomed by Mount Pleas ant and all other places along the route. This would bring Concord in closer touch with these towns and this irreat section of country, and also give connection with the Southbound rail road. Albemarle would get 4ho inter nrban and equally share with the ben efits to be derived Crom coming in closer relation' with such a section. The hne would also connect with the proposed Salisbury to Monroe railroad at Mount Pleasant, if this road is eon- struoted. - ' '."

It u so arranged that if a nickel is dropped into the slot it will tborw out a bottle of coea cola or any other soft drink kept in it. An les box Is arranged in the machine so that three kinds of drinks can be kept at the same time. One of the most attractive features of the ma chine is the fact that it cannot be manipulated with a lead nickel. A piece of iron strikes the nickel imme diately after it passes through the receptacle with such force as to bend a lead nickel to such an extent that it will not pass far enough to success fully work the machine. .
