INTEREST CI IIEXICQ IS AT FEVER HEAT LIVE STOCK SALES. nXDJXd THE AKBITAL OF SPE OIAL EHVOY LIND. Charge d'Affairee O'Sbanganessy Re fused to Disclose the Object of Hii IBselon, But It It Believed That Ho Oomw to Deliver Personally to Huerta the Demand of President Wilson That Ho Got Out LIND ARRIVES IN MEXICO Meiieo City, Nov. 7, 1:30 p. m. If Special Envoy Lind returned here at Huerta's re quest, early actions did not indicate it. Upon bin arrival he went at once to tlic same hotel where he bad quarters during his first stay here, Mr. O'Sheughnessy called on Gov. lind immediately, and t hoy conferred together for several hours. Gov. Lind refused to make any statement but he did not visit the national palace nor receive any Mexican offi cials. It is believed here that the State Department sent Gov. Lind back here to back up O'Shaughnessy's "verbal representations." Cabarrus rarmera Continue to Buy Elf & Grade Horses sad Mule. Cabarrus fanners' continue to buy good stock. Every fall witnesses the purchase of several carloads of fine mules and horses here. This fall the u m hav been about on par with the sales a year ago. . The chief diff erence has been in the increased num ber of horses sold. Last year and two years ago there were few horses sold," the demand being chiefly lor mules. The dealers, knowing "the trade" supplied it, the result being that few horses were shipped in. This year there has been a change, the demand for horses beins equal to the demand for mules. There have been five car loads of horses and mules sold here todate. Up to this week the sales have been brisk, fourteen cent ccton producing the necessary where-withal to buy the animals readilv. This week the sale : have not been so brisk but the stock men. are confident there will be an in- crease in sales in a few days. One noticeable thing about the horses and mules brought here for sale is that they are all high grade. All of the animals brought here by the expe rienced dealers have bcn good-blooded, young and Strang. One experienc ed live stock dealer in speaking of the sales are said that it was useless to bring second string work horses and mules to this county for sale. The farmers want the good ones, the thin? that look, good and work bet-ter. SEE THE "MOVIES." A Great Crowd of School Children the Guest of Manager Stewart at The Main Yesterday.

In a formal Irt- ter Attorney (ieueral McKeywdd- hus requested the resignation of District Attorney Ilolton and Marshal Ixipan, of the western district, and District Attorney Seawell and Marshal Dock ery ot the eastern district. 1 1119 is in line with the demands made upon the attorney general by the North Carolina Senators. Tho letter of the attorney general has of ourse been treated as ollicial business and therefore confidential, but those who have been permitted to see the official note are amazed at its tenpr. In fact, it is declared by friends that the Republican officials oould not well resign under t he ver biage of the McReynolds letter with out appearing to impeach -the charac ter of their own services to the gov ernment. The letter is said to set forth that the department wishes to effect certain chan-rcs to alter "con ditions" in the districts and to that end desires the resignation of those now holding the offices. None of the officials concerned will resign. On the contrary, they will carry to the White House should that drastic step become necessary and the President may be asked to tell the country what he meant when he de clared thr.t Republicans should ml be removed for purely political rea sons. The attorney general dues not in timate what changes he desires made in the service, nor does he charge that any part of the service has been un satisfactory. Nevertheless hc de partment asks that the resiunalions be so worded as to indicate that the present office holders are effacing themselves to the end t. hat the siiji- Dosilious changes can be made. Asif, before stated, none of those conccrn- td have the slightest idea of resign ing, unless tlM-ir mountain friends arc greatly in error. DON'T HURT MILITIA; THEY!

Concord Merchants Objecting to Light Service Furnished by South era Power Company. !

The merchants are contemplating using other means of ghting their stores if the service is not improved. The unsatisfactory light service not only causes the merchants to. stop business but causes the shoplifters to start "business," the merchant being the loser at two ends.

Can Murphy Come Back? Baltimore Sun. Can Murphy come back! is a ques tion that everybody will ask, and which only time can answer. Cer tainly a political boss was never more thoroughly discredited than he has been by the result of Tuesday s election. Not only has he been sub merged in New York, but his cam paign of blunders has handed over the New State Assembly to the Re publicans. Tammany may think it a good time to put another chieftain in charge. But the public will gaiu nothing by a change in Tammany leadership, unless the spirit of Tam many is changed. The machine it self though hit hard, has not beeu hit as hard as the leader. Such an organization is not easily, dissolved. But if it is to continue as a power in New York.' it must meet the mo dern political spirit with new met hods and new men.- It must assume a virtue, if it has it not, in order to recover its lost power and prestige. .,' ; ,111 ,; I There are Other ways to waste time but one of the worst ways is to tell your troubles. . , ' - - TRADE IN CONCORD. 25 Years JULY 5th, 1888 JULY 5th, 1913 AN ENVIABLE RECORD.
