VOL. XXI. V--- Mea, M Casta a Moat, CONCORD. NC4 TUESDAY. JULY 11. 1911 Single Copy, J Cents. NO. 310 ABDUCTS EI8 OWN CHILD. Takes Us Child to Kannapolis Where E( U AimUi-Matter Adjusted. , Fred Morris, of Atlanta, tu ar teated tbit morning for tli abducting of his owm child, a pretty little two year .old golden haired girl, from her paadparents, Mr. and Mr. Daniel Hunter,, who live on Franklin Avenue. Morris, who is widower, lives in At lanta and left his child here with her grandparents, who claim that he gave the child to them. From what could be gathered at the investigation this morning it-seems that Morris had not been satisfied with the arrangement and wanted possession tt uia child and came back to Concord. This morning about 7 o'clock the tittle girl was out in the yard playing when Morris reached over the fence and -picked her up and started np Franklin Avenue to Spring street, where he entered a vehicle and drove to Kannapolis. Mrs. Hunter saw him pick the little girl up and made a dash after them, shouting for him to stop and bring the child back. Morris failed to heed hi- ri&i auu drove rapidly away. Mrs. Hunter's shouts were heard by the neighbors and for awhile excitement in the neighborhood was at high tension. The officers were immediately noti fied and they sent the word to the Kannapolis officials to be on the watch for Morris. He was arrested immediately upon his arrival there and brought back to the city. In the meantime a warrant for abduction was sworn out against him. Both parties employed attorneys and after going over the matter thoroughly Mor ris agreed to let the child remain with her grandparents provided cer tain conditions were complied with, and a paper to this effect was signed, it being agreed to stop prosecution on the warrant. . Kentucky O. 0. P. Convention. Louisville, Ky., July 11. The Re publican State convention assembled in this city today and was called to order shortly before 1 o'clock this afternoon. The convention will nom inate candidates for governor and for all other State officers to be voted for at the election next November. The official call omits all mention of in structions, for United. States, and the general understanding is that more will be given. Several spirited contests are in sight fo places- on the -State ticket and, it is thought probable that the convention may not complete its work before Wednesday, Judge E. C. 0 'Rear of the Court of Appeals will probably be selected to head the tick, though several other names are mentioned in connection with the honor. Judge O'Rear is urged for the nomination on the ground that he is the strongest man for the place. It is pointed out that he stands well with the farmers because of his sym pathy with them in their contests with' the trusts, and is popular with the temperance people because of bis advocacy of the county unit proposi tion. He is not prohibitionist, but favor, a strict and logical regulation of thliqiior 'traffic. Death of Dr. J. B. Carlyle. Raleigh, July 10 Dr. John B. fVrlvlft. one of the best known college professors of this state, died about 2:30 o'clock this morning at his home in Wake Forest after an illness of some months.

Dr. Carlvle was one of the moving spirits of Wake Forest col !. an institution that he loved dear ly. ' He was active until a collapse came last spring and he was taken to Black Mountain, but it -was too late for the mountain air to throw off the grip of the deadly disease, which had fastened itself upon him. Dr. Carlyle was one of the chief movers in rais ing an endowment of over $100,000 for Wake Forest, besides more than $16,000 for the Alumni building and $9,000 lor anotner., 1100.000.000 for Roads. C Washington, . July 7. Declaring that Brood roads would save the American neoDle $250,000,000 annual lv. while bad roads impose such "mud tax" every year upon the people who haul their Droducts to market over noor i country ', highways, Senator Claude A, Swarison, of Virginia, de livered today a strong speecn in mc Senate in advocacy of his bill for federal appropriations for the im provement of public roads. ' , The Swanson bill provides that the Government appropriate $20,000,000 annually for the next five years for ' improving the post roads and rural free delivery routes used by the Qov ernment.

The crime was committed near Cumnock, on the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad. To newspaper men here the men said they were the parties wanted, but averred they are not guilty of the the crime. They came back because they thought after six years all would be forgotten md no attempt would be made to prosecute the case.' They were in the Hotel Clegg eating breaktast when recognized.

The Greensboro Record says: , "The evening service of the First Presbyterian church, held out of doors on the lawn lias been a great success. Last Sunday evening over three hundred chairs had been placed but these were soon filled and as the crowds continued to come - one hundred and fifty more chairs were brought out. These were all taken and some of the worshipers sat on the grass. The church has made ar rangements' to seat all who come to morrow evening. The pastor 'will preach on the subject of "the work ing man and a Sabbath for rest." Excellent singing added to the at tractiveness of the service and to morrow evening the splendid choir of the First church will be present to lead in the congregational sing- Xtami of Hem from There and Everywhere. Because a girl who had typhoid fever three years ago was allowed to wash milk cans on her father's farm there is an epidemic of the fever in Englewood, a Chicago suburb. The case was discovered by the health de partment. Thirty-four persons taking milk from the girl's father are ill. She is what is known as a "carrier" of germs. A new championship "hope" of the frog family has been found in Chi cago. His name is Jumbo and he has a record of catching and devouring 268 flies in an hour. Cy De Vry, animal keeper at the Lincoln Park Zoo, has the "hope" under his man agement. De Vry says he will back Jumbo against any other fly-eating frog or toad in the country. All the rural schools of Kansas are to have 7-moth terms under the 1911 laws, and E. T. Fairchild, state super intendent, is trying to arrange for all to open the same day. He suggests September 11 as the opening date. If all the schools have a uniform time for opening their progress will be about the same, and it will be much easier to easier to arrange for exami nations. Walcott Gregory, farmer for Au gustus Schermerhorn, of New York, was imprisoned for an hour in a big meat refrigerator in the Gil more Mar ket at Lenox, Mass., Monday, and when discovered, his ears and fingers were frost-bitten. Gregory went into the meat house to inspect meat, and a market man slammed the door shut, Charles Kilmer, a 'meat-cutter, who heard scratching beneath the refriger ator, opened the door and pulled the half-frozen farmer out. While digging a well on his farm, two miles east of Sullivan, Ind., John Alsman found an old hickory tree, 25 feet under ground. One of the limbs bad been chopped in two with some kind of a blunt instrument, and under the limbs was a peck of hickory nuts. The chopping is believed to have been done by prehistoric men. Alsman had dug through hard pan, yellow clay and shale before he reached the tree.. The 'limb. .of the tree fEicn' TmTI&nch"bpped will be sent to the state musenm at Indiana polis. Postmaster-General Hitchcock ad mits that his own investigations lead him to believe that many railroads are paid more for carrying the mails than they should receive. He finds that 278 lines appear to he making money out or their contracts, while 116 lose on the present basis. Favor ing a readjustment of compensation, he expresses the belief that $9,00(1,000 a year can be saved by a more equit able arrangement. He purposes that 6 per cent, profit be made the basis. the losing hires being paid more ana those that are making a larger profit having their pay reduced. It is estimated that the seacoast of New Jersey brings into the State more monev than all of its enormous manufacturing industries and more than the farms. All the way irom Sandv Hook to Cape May the coast is a succession of, sand dunes and bare sandy shingle, here and there divided from the mainland by expen ses of marsh. These marshes have given to New Jersey unrivaled emin ence in the production ol mosquitoes. And yet that forbidding region has been converted into a summer resort which attracts visitors from every quarter of the land and brings a vast wealth to tbe btate.

Appendix Is Better Than Alarm Clock Denver, July 8. John M. Bradley, chief elerk of the passenger depart ment or tbe Colorado Midland rail road, doesn't need an alarm clock to wake him in the morning any more. A few weeks ago, Bradley was opera ted upon for - appendicitis. Previous to that time he always had to get an alarm to wake him, but since the removal of his sppendix, be wakes every morning at 6 o'clock. The on ly faut with the natural alarm is that it is set about two hours too early to suit Bradley. ' He says the void spot will not let him sleep after 6. p. m. Senate Shows Its Intention to Enact Reciprocity Bill Washington, July 10. The Cana dian reciprocity bill emerged nn scratched tonight from the moat ser ious ordeal it 'has yet experienced in the Senate. The series of amend ments offered by Senator Cummins of Iowa and the two offered by Senator Simmons of North Carolina, all seek ing to increase the number of Cana dian manufactured articles that shall be admitted to the United States free of duty, were voted down by large majorities. Senator Simmons contended that even with the reductions upon Cana dian manufactured products given in the agreement the manufacturing industries of the United States Would still be . more adequately protected against Canadian competition than against the competition of Great Britain, France and Belgium.

Child's Buried Body Found By Farmer. Greensboro Record. What seems to be a probable case of murder has been literally unearth ed in the outskirts of Greensboro. A child's body has been' found buried in an out-of-the-way place and the cir cumstancess point to probable infanti cide. Saturday a farmer on the Worth mill place was breaking some ground near the mill, which is a mile south of Greensboro, where he inted ed locating a haystack. He found that the spot had been freshly dug and he investigated. The man came upon a small box. tightly nailed up, and not caring to go further alone in the investigation, telephoned for the police. Chief Iseley and Patrolman Glenn went to the spot and finished digging tbe box up after dark.
