on the Sabbath. Pastor Cooper of the Cresskill Congregational
church broke all -records as the result , of his forceful " GO TO
CHURCH campaign. vile prepared a sermon that especially ap
pealed to the people in his section, where he play tennis on sum
mer days and where he is greatly liked despite the fact that the
members of the tennis club generally only go to church when iome-.
body gets married or somebody's new baby is christened. ; ''
Of course Mr. Cooper doesn't play tennis Sunday. ' But-his
congregation is composed mostly of commuters, and. Sunday is
their only day of recreation. Thev My they hay just got to play
tennis then. The pastor received help from an unexpected source.

TEX 110 SALES ARB ON.
Almost Unprecedented Sales Being
Coadacted By Ooacord Merchant
Whe art CUealagOnt -Their
Stocks of Summer floods.
Concord merchants bare arises anl
hit tht high eoat of clothing migh
ty swat And that part of lbs well
known and much diaeussed being.
Mr. High Cost of Living, has fallen
here with a loud bang. The local
merchants have carved that section
of mercantile anatomy to the bona
and in plaees l ave scraped the oone.
The result ia that never in the his
tory of the own has there been so
many sales conducted when the price
of goods of quality hare been sliced
and spliced or spliced and sliced,
whichever yon prefer, to such a low
prie. ' y-1 - - -: '
It has reached the point wber one
citizen has remarked: "Ton ran take
a dollar and dress np. This may
bt an exaggeration, but wbeir the
transparency of certain modes of
dress and the. remarkably low prices
are considered, a dollar will eo a
long ways toward dolling up a being.
It ia not one store or one merchant
that is conducting the sale, but prac
tically all the stores that deal in
wearables. Beginning this week the
wles started but today the high tide
was reached. The stores - opened
with a rush and the sales continued
throughout the day. The sales are
not only attracting local people but
are drawing trade from nenrby sec
tions which have long recognized
trading advantages offered by Con
cord merchants.
The merchants are alive and are
inakine ready for their big fall stork
lv cleaning the summer goods. Bv
doing so they are evidencing a far
sighted business policy and their
customers are profiting thereby.
. The sales are offering such induce
ments in low prices for goods of
quality that it is hardly necessary
to refer to that oft repeated line:
"Trade in Concord."
Four Hundred War Ships Reviewed
By King George.
Portsmouth, Eng., July 18. The
ntightiest war fleet ever assembled in
British waters was reviewed today
at Spithead by King Georsre.' Four
hundred warships of the First, Sec
ond and Third Fleets, including twen
ty five great dreadnoughts . .and .be
f cca r sixty a nd" seventy "submarines,
were drawn up in long lines stretch
ing into the Solent, and presented a
niaeniflcent spectacle as the rovel
yacht Alexandria steamed
slowly
through the aouadrone.
The King, who was 'accompanied
ibv Queen Mary and the Prince of
Wales, was received with full naval
honors on arriving here from Lon
don, and , immediately boaded . tihe
aoyal yacht, . The hoisting of the
royal standard was the signal for a
101 guns royal salute, led by Nel
son's historic flagship Victory, whose
wooden hulk looked ridiculous amid
the modern ironclads. - ;
All the ships were dressed rain
bow fashion, and as the Alexandra
passed along the line the crews man
ned the bulwarks and gave ; three
ringing sheers. During the inspec
tion, which lasted nearly two hours,
the ships saluted by squadrons and
the boom of the guns seemed inces

Try Madams Caillaux For Calmotts
Murder.
Paris, July 18. Madame Joseph
Onillaux, wife of the former Premie,
and Minister of France, will go on
trial for her life here Monday in the
Court of Assizes, charged with the
murder of Gaston Calmette, editor
of the "Le Fjgaro."
Mms. Oaillaux's defence, it is said,
will amount to practically a plea of
"Brain storm," that she "acted in
1 moment of folly." .This plea, it
is understood, will lie reinforced by
n denial that Mrs. Caillaux was di
rectly responsible for Calmette's
death, the charge being made t lint

Over Outlook for Crona Bibm ti
Bains of The Past Week. Early !
Cottoa Fruiting Nicely.
Farmers here today are in much
better spirits than they have been
this summer over the outlook for a
good crop this fall. The continued
drought of early summer proved a
seripns drawback to crop and de
veloped a pessimiiitic spirit among
the farmers generally. However,
the rains of recent days have t-aused
vegetation to burgeon forth in u
most encouraging manner.
Farmers state that early cotton is
l uiting nicely now and with a con
tinued favorable season an average
crop will be produced. IjiIc cotton,
however, is yet an unknown iianti
ty. The weed has taken on new br
and vigor since the rains. The corn
crop has also made rapid strides.
From reports the lower part of
the county, in and around George
ville, has been the more fortunate
in receiving showers. Poplar Tent
and adjacent sections has been the
center of the drought but the late
ruins have had a remarkably good
eflect on the crops there and f li--farmers
of that section are much
more encouraged. than a week ago.

Salisbury, July 17. Governor ,
Craig and Superintendent J, $. Mann,
of the State prison, Dr. W. S. Ban

Chairman H. B. Varner, of the pris

works of the Southern Aluminum
Company at Badin, inspecting condi
tions among the convicts employed
on the great works. The governor
was also accompanied by several. Sal
isbury gentlemen, Col. John S. Hen

tor J. F. Hurley, of The Post. Gov
ernor Craig preferred not to give out
his impressions but will make a State
ment later after thinking over what
In saw.
Chairman Varner, of the prison
commission, says the conditions st .
Badin are very good indeed,, f hat tbey
compare favorably with - convict"
camps on railroad works and that .
they are better than the average coun
ty convict camp. The convicts re

alth, food and sanitary conditions
are looked after carefully by the
Stnte authorities. Captain Mann at

vas glad to have the governor and
others go down today and see for

under way by the aluminum people.
A HUNDRED SHOTS FIRED
AND FOUR WOUNDED.
Lack of Ammunition Forces Cessation
of Hostilities.
Fort Smith. Ark., July 19. The
lack of ammunition forces a cessation
of hostilities 'between the striking un
ion miners and the mine guards of the
Mammoth Vein Coal Company at
Prairie Creek. The authorities think
it remarkable that only four were
wounded as a hundred shots were fired
in the battle which was proceeded by
ilynamiting and burning the surface
work of the three mines. The union
miners declared that the trouble start
ed by the shooting up of the union
miners' camp by the mine guards. No
requests have been made for the mil
itia. It beats all how surprised a girl ean
iippear when the question is popped
after she has been preparing for it for
