noon Mr. Black, of the Central bar

calmly along ho waa suddenly sur
prised to hear a- noise resembling the
grunt o a pig esnaaating from dircotly
nnderneath hiarf eet," Ho looked news
but aaw nothing bat the cold ground.!
Recalling the , daya gone by when as
a boy he chased pine rooters over tba
hills of lower. Cabarrns, ho waa posi
tive that erwai too faailiar with the
grunt of a pii not- to be deceived
and he atopped and Iktened. Pres
ently there was another grunt, follow
ed by another and another, and then
came a faint squeal. Then he knew
it was a pig, bat where he could not
tell. Calling Mr. Luther Roger, the
speed king of Cabarrus, who he knew
could take his Interstate and catch
anything on lop of the earth, ha put
him on the trail after the pig under
the earth. An; examination of the
urf ace of the earth revealed an outlet

A colored boy was put to work with
a pole atvoh end of the pipe while
Mr. Boger held a rope with a loop at
the other end.; When the pole and pig
came in contact the latter made a
dash for Mr. Soger's end of the line
and was lassoed in true cow boy style.
How long tha-animal had been under

Drainage Survey in This County.
Mr. J. P. Allison has received the
following ireplv from Conirrenaman
Doughton concerning his letter which
we published a few days ago:
Mr. Jno, P. Allison,
Concord, N. C.
My dear air:! am eendine vou
herewith a letter I received from Mr.
Willis L. Moore, of the Weather Bu
reau, concerning the drainage survey
you wrote me about.
If you could arrange to meet Mr.
Mengel when he comes to Charlotte
and take over the area that you wish
surveyed, l think that there would
be more likelihood of your getting the
survey. I will see Senator Simmons
and Mr. Webb in the hope that we
three together will be able to accom
plish something, i
I am very glad to have this chance
to do something for the people of that
seotion, and hope that you will not
fail to call on me at any time that I
can be of service to you or them.
