ANOTHER STANLY VERSION. ‘ Jn discussing the matter of actiop in spending her State Highway ujotiey. The Albemarle Press says: ‘‘We have no grievance against Con cord and Cabarrus county in their de sire to get Stanly county to change her intention of hard surfacing the road which leads through No. 10 township in Cabarrus on to Charlotte, and to build this road through Mt. Pleasant and (‘on cord. The lower route under revised survey will give from five to ten miles shorter travel than would the one through Concord, but Stanly feels that there is more at stake even than this. Os late years. Stanfield. Oakboro, Locust, and. in fact, the entire southwestern section of our county has shown strong tenden- Cy towards fast development along edit- ■ cational and industrial lines, and when “Isinnie" Groves gets his mill started at Oakboro. it is expected that even more will take place than has taken place now. As to the Cabarrus conten tion that the spirit of the law of apply ing the funds to be obtained should lead us to apply it to connecting the county scats of Stanly and Cabarrus first, there is not sufficient essence in this to cause Stanly to turn aside from a plan which would be to her greater interests, if this can be shown, in the employment of the road funds at her eouuuaud. The ques tion of broadest service to the greater number should dominate. But The Press would assure the people of Cabarrus that Stanly county entertains feelings of strongest friendship for them, and whatever course is taken will be as free from selfish control as possible." Concord is going to send a delegation to Albemarle next week to discuss road matters and while it is evident from the above editorial and from other reiiorts coming from Albemarle, that the Stanly people are already decided as to the Charlotte road, we think it is well and good that this matter should be diseuss ■cd by men from the two cities. Stanly citizens who want the road to go to Charlotte favor that road because they thipk it will be of greater benefit to their county than the road to Concord. Con cord people think the road to this city would be of the greater advantage. It is a question that should be thoroughly dis cussed at least. The location of the road will not af fect the friendship of the two counties, of course. Stanly and Cabarrus have always been as brothers and they are going to continue that way. CAVT SEE THE LIGHT. It seems that some people will never ] be able to see the light. In practically i every city in the country today there arc building und loan associations offering safe investments, still wy find many peo ple who would rather invest, their money , in something foolish. The Greensboro it News finds that “thousands of people have lost millions of dollars in the col lapse of New York Curb brokerage eon ■; eerps within the past few days, and bucket-shop victims are still putting up ,a . hpid and desolate chorus. Building anjjk ionn stock yields only a modest per centage per year, sound commercial se- I;, curities not a great deal more. But the money put into such things stays put.” Iff::; Those last two words express the real §st worth of the building and loan associa » tions. of which Concord has three, of the best in North Carolina. When you .in : vest in th«*e organizations your money put’ftanf it is.tfiefe for you. with interest, pf; the time. Peo ple who will invest tb4ir money in curb fe market firms and similar enterprises de fe serve little sympathy when the inevita ble “shock" comes. f Eight new American firm* b»\t l; ffecentfy opened offices in Shanghai. BOY HERO RISES OUT OF THE , CLEVELAND SCHOOL DISASTER Thompson Davis Works Away to - Sup port Five Orphans.—Hundreds Visit Him. Columbia, June 12.—Four weeks ago an Thursday the Cleveland sehoolhouse in Kershaw County, near Camden, burn ed, with the loss of 70 lives. 77 citi zens, men and women and children, and two babies born in the excitement of the moment by expectant mothers, but today a brave community is coming back. A community that for these weeks has been stunned by the horror of it all. is begin ning to awake to a realization of its future, a future of determined work and courage. Back to their *i»lows they are turning, and the men and boys are cul tivating their fertile lands, their hearts, heavy but their hands firm. , Bravest of the brave is young Thomp son Davis. 17-year-old son of a sturdy family of the Beulah section. Ou the night pf the ferrible tragedy he was left at home with his three younger broth ers. Leroy, aged six: Marvin, aged fijur: and Charles Henry. 11 months old, while his mother and his father and his three sisters, Sarah, aged 11: Leila Mae, 14, and Line, nine, attended the commence ment play, "Miss Topsy-Turvy.” in the Cleveland school. The iiareiits and two of the daughters lost their lives in the school fire, only Sarah being able to es cape. > Young Davis .will be 17 ou June 15. and already on his young shoulders haA fallen the burden of educating the fotfr children. This he has set as his first big task, and to this end he is now cul tivating a cotton crop on 30 acres of about as fine land as there is in South Carolina. Two of his brothers, Leroy and Marvin, are staying with an aunt for a short time, until another aunt, Mrs. Quinlin, of Chester, can move her home to the Beulah section, .to he with her or plumed pephew ajld.his little family. The youngest boy was taken kick -shortly, af ter the Cleveland (ire and was moVisl to the Camden hospital for treatment. He will remain there until final 'arrange ments are made for the future home life of the Davis children. In the old Davis home live young Thompson and his sis ter Sarah. Brave young hearts are theirs, and in tune with the beats of these hearts arc pulses of a million of South Carolina men and women. Broadus Thompson, an uncle, has been appointed guardian for the Davis chil dren. Quite a sum of money has been sent to young Davis, front generous peo ple throughout the land, and this has been deposited to his account, over against a day of rain. The boy hero is quiet, he (loos not talk of his past or of his future plans, unless 1 (questioned. ;He says he is grateful for all that has'been done for him by the good people of this state and of other parts of the land. Many people have called on him. Hundreds of automobiles have called at his home since the terri ble tragedy that robbed him of bis par ents, these bringing friendly inquiries and helpers from points in both Caroll ons and Georgia. With the harvesting of hijs crops, young Davis liopes to see his young sis ter and brother enrolled in the new school to be erected at "The Terraces," which is to be a consolidation of several schools and to accommodate the children former ly served by the Cleveland school.

The education of the young man is being financed, by friends unknown to him, and tb th« world, g<K«l hearts who wish their names withheld, but who arc playing the part of guardian apgels to the needy little family. Their generosity is beinf! dis pensed through Mendal L. Smith, of Cam den, prominent lawyer and former jlidge. Young, Davis *is a lovable boy. His friends predict for him a 'brilliant career at college and then in whatever profes sion he may choose. With a brave heart, thrown by necessity dn his own resources, he faces a friendly world, with a deter mination to conquer. All of the children who were orphaned by the Cleveland school fire have been cared for, placed either in the homes of loving relatives oq with people who will care for them and educate them ns their | own. The funds generously contributed I by people of all states, have been handled | wisely and carefully by the Bed Cross and the Camden committee, of which Mayor M. G. Garrison. Jr., is chairman. In such cases as those of young Miller j Mcl-ieod. Vernon McLeod and Eugene j Brown, where whole families were wip ed out, with the exception of the lone child survivor, farm lands have been tak en over by near relatives, to be culti vated until permanent settlement of the situation can be arranged. Piedmont North Carolina. Charity and Children. The praises of this .great section have been sung from one end of the country to the other. It is not only the most populous, but the most prosperous sec tion of North Carolina. Frome Reids ville to Gastonia the Southern Railway runs through the garden' spot of the state. The farmers are perhaps not so skillful or so extensive in their busi ness as those of eastern North Carolina, but they are more thirtfy and indepen dent. The boll weevil does not chew tobacco, and this meanee that threat ens the cotton section has no terror for a Piedpiont fanner. But it is in the minufacturiifg?: business that the Pied mont people 'are supreme. They have outclassed the New "England cotton mill people, and in the manufacture of furni ture, chairs and other lines of hard wood products they have become the wonder, of the world. They have drawn a large j population from various sections of the ; state and from other states, and the, three larger cities of North Carolina, be- j sides many strong and (wealthy towns j make the Southern Railway line re semble the Pennsylvania between Phila-1 delphia and New York. But this we j are compelled to confess; our industrial! ! ii-ogress has outrun the intellectual de- j velopment of our people. Os course] conditions in this respect are steadily j improving. Magnificent school houses! are building both in- urban and rural j : communities, but we have yet a long way to ge before culture of tin; miud will overtake culture of the hand in the Piedmont region. Our people are so busy making money that they have given too little time and thought to the culti vation of the finer things of life. Boys art lured into business life by the time I they finish high school and sometime be i fore that. The pull of the commercial . world is tremendous. Notwithstanding ' our wealth, the proportion of oollege graduates in his favored part of the , state is muca smaller than in many . other communities uot half so strong fi nancially. \Ye must learn the lesson that after all "it is the mind that makes the man,” and that in this world there are many things that are better than money.

Mothers of Famous Men The Mother of David Livingston -1 Agnes Hunter, the girl .who was to marry Neil Livingston and to become the mother of David Livingston, perhapt* the world’s mast famous missionary-ex-i plorer. and certainly one '-of the world’s ideal men, was a typical Scotch girl of the ..humbler classes. She was born in. a humble home and brought up to work; and work hard. Her life had in it none of the softer luxuries and few of the pleasures that most people enjoy: Like the people in Robert Burns’ “Cqt ter’s Saturday Night” her father and mother were sincerely religious people, and trained their daughter in religious thought. When Agnes Hunter married Neil Livingston she had no thought what ever that she was to gain anything ex cept love. She looked forward to a hardworking life, and to a simpfe exist ence. * When her second child was born she named the boy "David,” uot only be cause "David" is a Bible name but also because it is a typical Scotch name. She held the little boy to her breast and sang him lullabies made from the Psalms. She whisi>ered to him bits of Bible story, and in many ways gave him the richness of her love. Nevertheless, her life was a hard one and a.busy one, for money was scarce and every one in the family had to work for a living. Even David himself, who had been sent' to school for a time, had to find a job in the* cotton mill when lie was only a small boy ten years old. In a house hold of that sort a mother's love Is' doubly precious, for it is the susttliner and - the supporter in the midst of hard ships. .Agues Hunter uever lost her serene faith, nor the quiet'dignity of her re ligious life. . Her devotion appeared later in her famous son's untiring work in the African jungles. __ Out of the simple Scotch .home where money was so scarce and where the necessity for hard work was so insistent there came the spirit that sent David Livingston on his long journeys through the Afri can wilderness—a journey iff by the im press of a mother's love and a mother's prayers for her boy. Next: The mother of Beethoven. I’raise For J. P. Cook’ The Albemarle Cress. Mr. James P. Cook, editor of The Uplift, published bp the Jackson Train ing School, was a visitor in Albemarle Tuesday. Mr. Cook has been in the jour nalistic work for many years, and has always wielded a vigorous pen. One would think that The Uplift would be limited in its sphere: but not yo under Mr. Cook's editorship. Cabarrus has some moss backs who should shine ns stellar lights in the educational activi ties : but they are proving a real ob struction in the way of hnlighteued progress. The Uplift has spoken out in meeting, and if Cabarrus is to keep abrest with Stanly county in the grad mi and z-o-operative *ehool work. -Mr. Cook will be singled put as a large con tributing factor. The Jackson Training School is fortunate in having Mr. Cook, and this school owes more to him pos sibly than to any other one living being. It is a chosen work to him. which ties closely to his heart, and the work of reclaiming the criminal youth of our state is a big one. Business goes where it is invited, and stays where it 'is well treated. . CXPCAT | 1 wiaiMC I 1 INSTALLATION I jli Let's get acquainted I I 1| and talk about electric- II ■ I ity.
