Dec. 31.—Two huge stiHs both of a thousand gallons daily capacity, werje found and destroyed near Ridge way lust Saturday by Prohibition Agent r /L C. Ramsey. accompanied by Constable Robert Gauldiu and Officer G. T. Wyatt, of Ridgeway. The stills were located two miles south of Ridgeway and not | far from the North Carolina line. Both were models of the same kind. Steam was generated for use in the distilling process and there were present all the fixtures and equipment that could be thought of. One of the stills had not been op erated for four or five months, but the other was in full operation and a run had very clearly been made in it the bight before. Near at hand the officers found 5.000 gallons of beer prepared for the next run. This had a forty horse powet boiler engine to furnish steam on which it was to run. A 000 gallon cool er was destroyed as well as numerous boxes and barrels whk.l) had berti used in preparing the mash. The stills were run very much like dis tilleries were run in Henry county before the days of federal prohibition. twenty gallons of whisky was found at the ac tive distillery. This was poured out. Near at hand, hidden in a ground house, was fourteen gallons of malt. Close by THE OLD HOME TOWN BY STANLEY Trump A!

The pe tition filed with the budget committee iu which the several State institutions and departments asked for large increase in appropriations, has brought out some suggestions that seem to indicate that the colons will hold the purse strings tightly. Governor Morrison has i aid that the time has come for us to act t alniiy in the matter of expenditures. Governor McLean is thought to feel the same way. in fact is known to so feel. Democratic Chairman John Dawson has issued a warning in which he says that we must go carefully, and other iudientitous are not wanting. Mr. E. \V. Pharr, of Mecklenburg, who is to be Speaker of the House and have the appointment of committees, has said that the matter of taxes will be the most important subject for consideration. But members always go to Ualeigh with the expectation of be ing economic. This expectation, like the one that the Legislature will adjourn in. 3 days, often vanishes after things get going. However, there will certainly be nothing like extravagance practiced this year. They can’t get the money. THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE { in AM) ABOUT THE QTY jf STOLE A DRESS BUT COULDN’T GET AWAY But It Took Kurd’s Big Force. Part of —Poliee Force and Bystanders to Pre vent It. After stealing a dress at Efird’s store, Ernest Simmons, colored, proved to be an elusive quantity and all but made his e-senpe, despite the tact that the entire force of Efird’s, employees, part of the police force and numerous bystanders made desperate efforts to catch him. It was one of the bystanders who finally captured and held the bandit. Ernest was in Efird’s looking over the dresses on display Thursday morning ami had stepped behind one of the stands in order to conceal his choice of garments when a saleswoman noticed him in the act of putting it under his overcoat pock et. Siie called to A. E. Harris, manager of the store, and he came immediately, capturing the negro. While Mr. Harris was telephoning the police station, Ernest decided that it was time to go and made a break, dashing down the stairs and in to the main part of the store with Mr. Harris following closely in the rear. Several of the men clerks in the shoo department gave chase and one grabbed him by the coat but the burly black shook loose and continued his race. Round ing several tables to circumvent a shoe clerk who stood in his path armed with a chair, Ernest did a dash for the door. By this time, Mr. Harris .had caught up with him and the two hit the door with such force that the plate glass panel was broken, but Ernest got out. | Gn the street. Officers Robinson and Widen house were engaged iii a parley witli an offender of the No Left-Turn law. Hearing the shouts, they made haste to leave the motorist. Their efforts to halt Ernest were unsuccessful. Ernest was. in the parlance of his colored brethren, ’’doing a mean piece of running." Finally, however, sheer weight of num bers caused the capture of Ernest. In terested spectators gave chase and one of them caught him and both officers, taking no chances, escorted h ; m to police headquarters where the dress was taken over by the law and Ernest was thrown in the county jail. The case will be given a hearing in the' next recorder’s court. TURKEY SUPPER LAST NIGHT FOR GUARDSMEN OF CITY Annual “Feed" Attended by All Com pany Members and Number of Their Friends. The annual "feed" for members of Company E, local guard unit, was held last night and Turkey and other things that taste especially good when served • with this fowl, were offered in abund-' ance to the members of tile company and u few invited friends.

The "eats" were served in the room for merly occupied by the H. It. Wilkinson Funeral Home. Captain Norman Alston, commander of tjie company, was in charge of the fes tivities. ami a snappy program was car ried out during the meal. Members of the company gathered at 10 o'clock for the “feed" and at mid night they were marched to the lavra of the Y. M. ('. A., where they sounded taps for 1024. and welcomed 1025 with a ride salute. The occasion proved one of unusual in terest; for members of the company and others who were invited to "sit in” by the officers and men of the company. Funeral of Mrs. Eliza Jane Simpson.

New Year's Program at the Y. The New Year's program at the Y on Wednesday night was very successful and whs attended by a large number of iii jterested spectators. After the basketball game at 8 o'clock, a very tine exhibition was given in the gymnasium, consisting of gymnastic stunts and feats. Interspersed iu between acts were a number of humorous per formances by the children present. The oyster roast was the event of tile evening, with John Goodman and Howard Collie doing the opening. This was fol lowed by a short New Year’s talk by Rev. T. F. Higgins and a prayer by Rev. William A. Jenkins. i When the clock reached til emiduigbt hour, the local military company fired a salute, after which the crowd dispersed. Communion Service at the New Gilead Church. The Holy Communion will be celebrat ed the first Sunday of the New Year in the New Gilead Reformed Church at 11 o’clock a. m., and in the Kclle* Reform ede Church at 3 o’clock p. m. J, P. MAJSDER, Pastor. I Paperweight Husbands. Mary Ann. a buxom, -o«y cheeked girl I from the country, was visiting some city friends. and volunteered to look after a I neighbor woman’s family of boys and girls, to allow the mother to attend a meeting. \ , When she had wutdred and brushed;and put to bed her charges, thi 'mother re-1 turned and asked: “Well, miss, how did you get along with the kids?” •’Not so badly,” replied Mary Ann, “but I bad an awful job with tbe old est boy—the red headed one.

DODGE BROTHERS ARE ~ BUILDING A COACH g —— / s Attractive New Five Passenger Car Be- - Ing Displayed First Time at Auto S Show. 2 An attractive tu*w Coach has been jg added to Dodge Brothers line ef’passen- 3 ger cars and is on display for tiie first 3 time at the New York automobile show. 3 “Characteristically Dodge Brothers," g is the comment most frequently made by 2 persons examining it. 2 Careful regard for quality as well as X beauty is evident in every detail of con- S ntruction and uppointjjient. ~ The graceful lines are set off to ad- 3 vantage by the lacquer finish in Dodge “ Brothers bine, yvith a body stripe of car- g touche yellow. Shroud and belt are blaek 2 and the artillery Wheels are' blue. Doors EE and windows are exceptionally large, of- fording a clear vision on all sides and 12 permitting passcugers to enter and leave '3 the ear with the greatest ease. Each of 2 the two doors is equipped with a bull-to |;8 handle on the Wilding, greatly simplify-|2 ing the closing. The ear is locked by a ; 2 high grade lock on the right door. The two front seats tilt forward, add- 1 25 ing further to the convenience of occu- : 3 limits. The rear seat is spacious and 3 comfortable, affording ample room for g three adults. The upholstery is dark 2 brown, attractive and of excellent wear- 3 ing qualities. The equipment also includes a rubber 2 mat in the forward section and a carpet 3 on the rear floor, dome light, foot rest, 3 mechanical window lifters, transmission 3 lock and automatic windshield wiper, g The latter is controlled by a \xi Ive on the s instrument board and is regarded as un- «s usually efficient. The windshield is of g the one-piece, self-veutilating type and 3 carries a fixed visor. Equipped with balloon tires and a non- 3 rumble roof, and built tm Dodge Brothers g standard chassis, it rides smoothly and 2 comfortably over any roads. There is every reason to believe, ac- g cording to Foil Motor Co.. Dodge Broth- 2 ers dealer, that demand for the Coach = will quickly reach exception proportions. 3 "The sturdy construction and smart- 3 ness of the lines and interior appoint- 2 ments. not to mention the proven depend- 3 ability-of the chassis, make it difficult to 5 believe that this coach could be’sold for & $1,095 f. o. b. Detroit," he said. "But 2 that is the price—and la ill certain the 3 public will like it." Y Team Beats the Polarines. Iu turning the tables and winning for ■ a change the Y team beat the I’olarines S from Charlotte last night by a score of 3 30-19. It was a good game. The locals S showed more form than they have in S many a recent game and, although they 3j were unable to shoot yvith a great deal of 9 accuracy, put up a mighty good exhibi- 9 tion. The Polariues played a good, dean 5 game but were unable to break through 3 Concord's defense effectively. They were gi also a little off on their shooting, it ap- Jj pea red. Best, appropriately enough, £ played the best game for the visitors. 5 Very' little starring was in order on S the Concord team wjgtjj the possible ex- 'S (■option of John ('ookV l who as a substi-19 lute for Wallace Moore, played the best a game on the floor. Cook broke up a' 3 number of passes, kept the Charlotte .3 team from shooting effectively and made '£ a few baskets himself. The rest of the g team showed their Inck of practice. 5 The Y team takes on another Char- S lotto league team next week, the game 3 to be played at the High School gymnas- § ins, 2 i s The climate of the Channel Islands E south of England is so mild and land is ** cultivated so intensively, often under glass cover, that an acre suffices to sup- port a family.
