• *
Outcome Came as No Great
Surprise to Those Persons
Who Have Been in Close
Touch With Situation.
The special school tax election he'd in
this county Tuesday to determine wheth
er or not a system of modern high schools
was to be adopted in the county, was de
feated by a majority of about 750 votes,
complete return’s from every precinct in
the county show.
Every precinct reported by noon today
and the figures are carried in full below.
In practically every rural community
in the county the voters showed disfavor
with the plan by casting more votes
against the measure than for it or by
remaining at home and not voting after
registering.’
The outcome of the flection was no
surprise to those persons who have kept
in close touch with the situation and
who have felt for some time that thf tax
would be lost unless the vote for the
proposal in Mt. Pleasant, Kannapolis,
Hartsell. Ilrown and Roberta communi
ties would be unusually large.

THE ELECTIONS MAKE
TRADE IN BRITAIN
Though Times Have Changed Many In
dustries Will Still Profit.
London, Nov. 21.—The prospect of an
earlv general election in Great Britain
a* satisfaction ij} alincst
dertafn nraifHies at teadeTfe which busi
ness has been si >w ever ii*oe the war
and the stimulus which the eloctton will
provide will come a« a relief and provide
temporary employment at least for many
thousand extra workers.
The manufacturers of badges, rosettes
and similar favors are already busy.
Hotel proprietors are expect!rig a rush,
for an army of party orators will descend
on the country districts. The high
price of paper may serve to curtail the
output tof election addresAis, but there
are still millions and millions of ballots,
election notices, etc., to be printed—more
than at any previous election.
Os late years, except the period of the
war, every motor ear in the country is
pressed into service at a general elec
tion. The railways, too, will be more
crowded tha never, and taxfci, scarce'
enough at any time, will be in tremen
dous demand on election day.
Tailors always have rush orders at
election time. It is not to be supposed
that there will be its plentiful as in
these happier days when one could buy
a new suit for fifteen or twenty dollars,
yet even so the tailor will be busier than
usual.
Tiie batter looks back with regret to
the good old days when every candidate
provided himse'f with from two to half
a dozen hats before starting but to ad
dress his constituents. The number de
pended upon the kind of constituency.
If the electors belonged to the working
class tiie destruction of hats, on both
sides was something shocking. It Was
a point of honor to leave at least a njark
of disapproval on the hats of those from
whom you differed politically.

Berlin, Nov. 21.—Saloons and road

forced the price of beer up to a point
which is beyond the conception and
purse of the rural German.
When the price of a stein of beer rose
to one billion marks or more and con

his thirst. Beer prices and the prices of
all sorts of drinks are lower in the

Chamber of Commerce Membership
Is Not Charity but Straight Business.
Some folks have a notion that when they join their CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE and pay their small dues they are “CONTRIBUT
ING" just as much mqney to a certain cause. That’s a mistake, vml
can’t “CONTRIBUTE" to a CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. There is
no earthly way in which you can "GIVE” a CHAMBER OF COM
MERCE a cent. For a CHAMBER OF COMMERCE is not a thing
separate and apart from you; it IS you; it has no business of it's
own to invest in : it IS YOUR Business. It has no lauds that increase
in value, no products to sell, no merchandise to offer; Hie land whieh it
hopes to make more valuable is YOUR land, the manufactured prod
ucts it seeks to sell are your products, the merchandise is your merch
andise. It does not come seeking your job. but it finds a job for you.
CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE just don't live and thrive of themsel
ves. To join the CHAMBER OF COMMERCE means an assumption
of responsibility which every citizen should be proud to meet. For to
be «,ailed on b.v your fellow citizens to do something constructive for
your community is an honor. Get in with the men tiiat arc working to
.organize a Concord CHAMBER OF COMMERCE and by doing so,
you are doing Concord a Genuine Service. We need more Factories,
New Hotels, New Auditoriums aud many other Enterprises that "a
Chamber can give us. Let’* put it over and have an all time Secretary
to look out for the City’s Needs—a real City Salesman for Coucord.

OUR CHARITABLE AND
PENAL INSTITUTIONS
Current Issue.of “Welfare Progress” an
Institutional Number. ,
(By the Associated Press.)
Raleigh, Nov. 21.—The current issue
of “Public Welfare Progress,” the month
ly publication of the State Board of
Charities and Public Welfare, which is
just just off the press, is an “institu
tional number” devoted entirely to the
charitable and penal inotitutions in North
Carolina.
Included in the contents are: a his
tory of these instutions, a table showing
the approprations made them for main
tenance and permanent improvements by
the General Assembly of 1923 and spe
cial stories about each of them. The
institutions discussed are the three State
hospitals for the insane at Raleigh. Mor
ganton and Goldsboro; Samarcand Man
or, Jackson Training School. Caswell
Training School, the Orthopedic Hospital
at Gastonia and the State prison. There
also are stories about the two institu
tions whieh have been provided for bby j
the General Assembly, but which have.
not been built, the Industrial Training
School for delinquent white boys in!
eastern Xortli Carolina) and a similar in- i
stiution for delinquent negro boys. An- I
other story tells of plans of the North !
I’ar.ftiihi*. Fedaratiou. of Colored WoumuLs )
Clubs for an industrial training school j
for delinquent negro girls.
Improvements recently made and
others planned at the State’s charitable |
and penal institutions are described in
the “Progress.” This issue is illustrat-j
ed with pictures of the institutions. |
The leading editorial begins: "On the I
whole. North Carolina.s charitable insti
tutions arc distinctly creditable; well
above the average in most of the states.
Some of the institutions in this state
have been singled out for especially com
plimentary comment by the authorities
who are familiar with the’ best institu
tions in the country.”
The editorial concludes: “The proper
care of its dependents is one of the
greatest problems which confronts the
State. It is a problem that under pres
ent conditions will steadily increase.
Just so much dead wood in the form of
insane and feeble minded the State must
carry along with it in its march towards
i civilization. Just so many delinquents
must be given special advantages if they
I are to adjust themselves successfully to
! society. Until the millenium breaks,
; the insane, the imbecile, the defective‘de
linquent, the pauper, the orphan, the
prisoner, the cripple will be with us.
l “North Carolina may very well cou
gratulate itself on what it has done for
its unforucates—and get its second
wind to do a great deal more that is

ginned to November 14th, compared with
8,869.978 last year was evidently re

which were about in line with bullish
expectations, but it was readily ab

selling, and a more active demand, par
ticularly for January.- The market op
