The special school tax election held in Cabarrus county last week to deter mine whether or not a system of modern high schools was to be adopted in the county was defeated largely by the rural districts and by more than one-third df the voters that registered bat stayed at home. The Tribune says that those in touch with the situation felt no sur prise at the outcome. It was within the province of some of the larger and more enlightened communities to carry the election for the tax. but it is known outsidei of Cabarrus rtliat there is a strong prejudice in those communities not only against the tax, but also against a change in the school system now under operation. It is passingly strange that the very people who should be most in terested is a comprehensive school sys tem are the very ones that oppose it most bitterly. Even under operations, there are so many who refuse to co operate fully in getting the broadest good from our schools, and many who actually remain hostile to any broad edu cational plan. In fact, it is hard to bring the rural idea up to a point that even a six?months school is popular, to say nothing of a longer term. While it can be said of Stanly that we have a splendid and modern system of schools, there are a lot of folks to be converted to the advantages as yet. and in a few spots we have some very hostile patrons. But the idea is growing and gaining in favor. Instances can he named where., patrons recognize the value of the longer terms, under the consolidated system of schools, and results arc just now being manifested where children of certain lo calities are showing fine progress under the training they have received. Soon er or later, Cabarrus will take the step, and once taken will go with leaps and bounds. THE OLD HOME TOWN BY STANLEY C , fSisaP"] STY (is it FE(t) ) T * „ A TO** OLD 1 -THAT AST ■tj rUj j?

FARRAR HOLDS CONCERT IX MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM Crowd Greets Famous Singer Banned By Atlanta Churches. i Atlanta. Ga.. Nov- 30.—Geraldine J Farrar sang in Atlanta tonight, but not in a church. After two church audi- I toriums had been closed against her, i eleventh-hour efforts of her managers j obtained the use of the Municipal Audi | torium for her concert, i Charles J. Foley, manager of Miss 1 Farrar's concert tour, conferred with | local attorneys today regarding a pos sible damage suit against the autliori- I ties of the Wesley Memorial Methodist | Church, who cancelled their contract for : the use of the church auditorium, j The publicity occasioned by the j church authorities' refusal to allow Miss l Farrar the use of their auditorium prov ed a stimulus to the seat sale and the ! diva was greeted by an audience of j several thousand persons. | Arriving this morning from Birming i bam, Ala., where she sang last night, j Miss Farrar refused to comment on the ! action of the church authorities. The supporters of the New York- Pennsylvania baseball league express themselves as well satisfied with the suc cess of the organization's first season, which has closed with Williamsport the winner of the pennant and York as run ner-up. . Nearly 50.000 cricket fans sought ad mittance to a recent match at Bradford. England, between the Yorkshire- and Lancashire teams. Os this number about 20.000 were turned away because the ground would not holid them. The fashionable dress for the women of Egypt 0,000 years ago was a fight fitting dress to the ankles, with tight sleeves- IN AND ABOUT THE CITY EVERYBODY DOING IT • NOW, SO HERE GOES All-State Team is Chosen by Tribune With Aid at Concord Men Who Have Seen Number of Games. Ends—Faison. Davidson; Carter, Trin ity. Tackles—Matthews and Mclver, Caro lina. Guards—Poindexter, Carolina; Bostlan, State. Center—Simpson. Trinity. ! Quarterback —McDonald. Carolina. Halfbacks—Greason, .Wake .Forest; Bonner, Carolina. Fullback —Shipp, Trinity. Football in North Carolina this year did not rise to the height it obtained last season. There was no “wonder team" such as Bill and Bob Fetzer trained at "The Hill” last year and aside from local interest, which is maintained on campuses and in home towns in even the leanest years, there was little excite ment aroused by the elevens of the lead ing institutions in the State. Fans iu surrounding state found no grid machine in North Carolina to arouse their inter est or lay claim to district titles, and the season must be classed as a mediocre one when compared to the one of 1922. | And as the calibre of football has been [ beiow the standard, there art few out-' 'handing stars to be placed wh the myth- J ieal elevens being chosen in almost con-1 fusing regularity in all parts Os the j State and being captioned “All-State” j teams. Fir this reason the task of i fflioosing such a team is less complicated. I although under any circumstances it is dangerous. In fact, as one scribe puts it. next to lighting a match to see how much gasoline is in the tank, the most hazardous occupation is to survey the college elevens and select an all-State machine. But the public is not bound by the decision and every one will go on just as before in selecting their “all stars" and pointing out the weakness in the eleven chosen by the other man. There was no outstanding end in North Carolina this year, although a number j of the wingmen played consistent ball j throughout the season. Capt. Morris, of Carolina, Capt. Faison, of Davidson, • Carter of Trinity, and Pegano, of Wake ‘ Forest, seem the best quartette, with lit-1 tie to choose between them. Faison is j selected, however, for one end because of his steady, consistent playing, and; Carter gets the other end. Capt. Mor-! ris started off the season in good fashion. \ but somehow after his illness he was, never the same player he was last sea- j son. He was taken out of the Virginia ' tame and seemed to lack the snap and j >ep that characterized his play last sea son. Cartter is aggressive, fast on j nqnts and about the average as a re- j celver of passes. The tackle positions in the state were 1 filled by a number of good men but of ; them all the best were Moran. Wake j Forest. Matthews and Mclver, of Caro-. ina, and Cox of State. The Carolina j ine was by far the best in the State | and Mclver and Matthews played an im portant part iq its efficiency. They are ' •hosen as the tackles. Both men played stellar bail in the Virginia game. Eller bee, of Wake Forest, is another mau who leserves special mention. At guard Poindexter, of Carolina, was j lecidedely the best in the State. As j his running mate we choose Captain Bos- ' ian. of State, a center by trade, but a dayer of ability who could fill in ad mirably at guard. Botli men are power ful and consistent. Beatty, of State, Johnson, of Wake Forest. Baker, of Elon, ind Taylor, of Trinity, all deserve credit for their season's work. Simpson was easily the best center in the State this year. Iu fact, he would have starred anywhere else, we believe. In addition to playing the role of center to perfection, being spectacular on both the defense and offense. Simpson did the drop kicking for his team, called signals in several games and handled rhe punting assignment in other games. He was good in each role and is recog nized as one of the outstanding figures ; n the abreviated cons-tellation of stars brought out this season. Emerson, of Wake Forest, played good ball at cen ter. bnt was not so good as Simpson. Choosing a quarterback and field gen eral for this eleven is an easy mat ter. McDonald, of Carolina, led the field by a wide margin. He is the nearest thing to a triple-threat man the State produced this year and was easily 75 per cent, of the offensive strength of his team. Greason. of Wake Forest, and Bonner, of Carolina, have shown up as well as any backs in the Staty- this year. Ben ner was McDonald’s chief assistant in the Carolina attack and Greason made many of the gains registeded by the Bap tists. Jonston, of State, and Rackle.v, of Wake Forest, were good back in this season which showed a dearth of back field material, but we pick Greason and Bonner before them. Shipp is selected for fullbuck. Weigh ing but little more than 150 pounds Shipp bus been the star of the Methodist at tack throughout the season and he would make an ideal running mate for the speedy Bonner and Greason. Shipp would be the fastest man iu the back field, and although light he has shown ability to pick holes when made for him. Iu addition to running with the ball he 'V&uld be valuable gs a punter, as he alternated with Simpson in the kicking game for Trinity. There was no out standing fallback in the State. This team should really be designated as the Cancord “all-State" selection, as a number of.the most prominent gridiron followers of the city added their advice when the selections Aere made. 'These men, with the writer, have seen every team in the State in action, and have I seen several of them in two games. Ins TM WKST COLirfijT— T" PAYS | SSSuir CItEAMERY' I CQWAy’k Concord, N.

An audience that taxed the capacity of St. James Lutheran Church witnessed the rendition of the pageant, “Songs of Grateful Hearts,’’ by the members of the Light Brigade of the Church Sunday night. An attractive feature of the pag eant was the singing of a Japanese song in the foreign language by little Miss Re becca Nortpan. daughter of Rev. and Mrs. C. E. Norman, returned missionaries from Japan. After the pageant, Bov, Mr. Norman spoke to the raemberg of the Light Brig ade about the kindergarten work in Ja pan. especially noting the good influence the young Japanese children have oa their parents. These Lutheran kiudev gartens are supported hi' the Light Brig ades of the Lutheran Church in Ameri ca and it was with much enthusiasm that the children listened to Rev. Mr. Nor man’s descriptions of the work in which they are so interested. At this service Mrs. Jno. M. Ceok. the leader of the Light Brigade, presented to Mr. Norman a pin in the form of a cross, a sign that he is now a life member of the Women’s Missionary Society of the United Lutheran Church of _ America, having been made so by the Light Brig ade of St. James Lutheran Church front whose midst be went to the foreign field. Rev Dr A. G. Dixon Preaches Here. Rev. A. G. Dixon, D. D„ president of the North Carolina conference of the Methodist Protestant Church, held the first quarterly conference for the First Church here last Saturday night, at which time reports were read of the dif ferent phases of church work. Dr. Dixon occupied the pulpit of this church Sunday morning, and preached a very practical sermon. He was heard by a large congregation, as he is very popu lar here where he has often visited and held' services. He congratulated thp pastor. Rev. Lawrence Little, and members on the fine record that has been made since Mr. Little was assigned to this pastorate for a month. At a meeting with the pul pit supply committee, which is composed of Mr! D. A. McLaurin. chairman of the board of stewards, and Messrs B. F. Waddell and L. H. Sides, Mr. Dixon stated that lie had not as yet been able to secure a regular pastor for this church, and appointed Mr. Little to serve for another month. Mr. Dixon held ser vices at Allison’s Grove at 3 p. in. and Mrs. Dixon made an address to the con gregation at the Roberta church last night at 7 o’clock. Former Concord Man Edits Antl-Klan Paper.

Record Editor is Fbev«. Hickory Record. j To those sitbseribers who failed to see an account of the trade week finish, the Record owes an explanation- The information was gathered in the course of a day, but the postoffice would not permit it to go through the mails. The Record it not criticising anybody for that. Hie local postmaster obeyed in structions as he interpreted them. There were numbers in the article and ether matters, ft is true. The ar ticle gave results. On Sunday morning the' same post office department that would not permit the results of trade week' to go through the mails carried newspapers that told how the owner of Zev waged $(13,000 that his horse would win over My Own' and In Memorian. The Associated Press went into detail as to how the chances ran. There was more detail about the three separate wagers that Zev’s owner made than there was. in the Record’s account of the trade week results. It is perfectly proper to announce that bets are being placed on bail gnmes and to show whnt the odds, if any, arc on any given team.- That is something elNe that is bard for the Record to. understand in con nection with the throwing out .of the mails of copies of this newspaper. We trust that copies of this news paper will reach the postoffioe depart ment at Washington, along with copies of yesterday's paper. The Record knows that it can print' horse races, gambling, prize fight gambling, but it is given to understand thut postal regulations will not permit it to announce results of an . incident here that are far more interesting And these local doings cannot be classed as gambling. We should like to know what the postoffice department has to say about these things.
