Flooded Lands and Caused Streams to Overflow ThHr Banks. Concord is again in the grasp of a raiu.v spell that seqjns to have no stop ping point.' Despite tlje fact that more than a normal supply of rain has already fallen this month, the downpour contin ued almost unbrokenly over the week-end. Roads in the county are in terrible condition ns is to be expected as a re sult of ten dnys of rnin. in some sec tions traffic is practically impossible and on some of the more important highways chains are a necessary adjunct to travel. Road forces have been unable to work for some time and as a result the roads are at the mercy of the el,'incuts. Streams in all parts of the county are overflowing their banks today. lowlands are inundated and passage on same of the bridges in the county has bee one dau gerous on account of the high wa-er. The ground is so thoroughly soaked that all of the water runs off as fast as it strikes I the ground and this tends to aggravate conditions with the streams. •A number of basements in the city have been flooded, some of them as a matter of fact, having been flooded since the heavy iaius of last week. Pumps are are working overtime in these basements, it is said said, but the water continued to run and seep in. The weather man yesterday promised only showers today, with a prospect lor clear wenther tomorrow. There are few signs today of any clear weather and the reiKirt today calls for uncertain weather.

A PLEA—THAT'S ALL. It is an easy matter to smile when iite snu shines height and all goes well, but it takes nerve to smile when the ship goes down. After almost two years of incessant labor for the benefit of indi viduals and organizations. I feel that now when the good ship Smiles is about to go down t Isa t a plea for support will uok go begging. Friday night at a cost of $150.00 and $15.00 for tlie High School I am bring ing to Concord one of tlie greatest mys tery dramas on the stage. "The Gorilla.” This groat play will be presented by real art : sts. and Concord gets for SI.OO what other cities pay $2.00 for. What have 1 brought this group of players to Concord for? To raise money for the Bible Story Contest. If this is worth while for Concord I ask the sup l>ort of every citizen to come out Friday night and fill the auditorium and l prom ise you a great evening's entertainment. That's all. H. W. BLANKS.

KHB CONCORD TIMES I CONCORD Y PLAYS CHARLOTTE j X BASKETBALL TEAM TONIGHT Salisbury Past Sag* Concord Team One of the Best* Appearing Thre This Sen- Despite the bad weather, it should be well worth the time and inconvenience for aijy one who cares to venture forth tonight to sec the Charlotte team In ac tion against the Concord Y team. The coming battle promises to be one of the liveliest scraps of the season. It is well known in Concord that the Charlotte Y team is one of the best in the state. In past years they have al ways put out teams that were remarkably fast and remarkably clean. This year's team is no exception. It has everything that the others had and perhaps a little more. Charlotte has had a most suc cessful season and are looking to con tinue this sucess in tonight’s fray. Playing for Charlotte are former col lege stain such as Abe Neiman, Bill Yates. Jack Milatead and John Yates, all of Carolina: John Sell click and Dan I Mallory, of Daviddbn, and Hugh Smith, a Y product. - Concord hasn't been playing such bail ball of late and should give Charlotte the time of their lives. The locals have recently developed a system of passing which looked mighty good and worked better against Salisbury. Then too. they have been perfecting their shots and this should be a telling point in their favors. The game with Salisbury Thursday night brought to light the fact that the Concordiaus have one of the fastes teams that hrfs ever been in the city. The Salisbury post had rite following to say about the game: The locals played a good game and a hard game: the kind of playing that would have ordinarily won from the av erage team. But under the fire and barrage of goal shots by file Concord for wards and under the heavy guarding they were forced to face, the locals found that they could not total enough points to win. Not a dull moment occurred in tlie game. The passing of tlie Concord team was well nigh perfect. The boys from Cabarrus handled the ball as if it were ■ a mere toy; tossed it over their heads around them; behind and beyond them, and always into the hands of one of ' their teammates. When they wanted a long pass. Hie sphere would go through space with the speed and precision of a rifle bullet, and again there wijpld be a man waiting for it. The dribbling of Morrison, guard, was one of the features of the game. This lad was as fast ns a streak, and could dribble the ball all the way down the court with his opponents trying their hardest to take it away from him. Dick, the stellar forward, hung up a total ofi eigh field goals and one four for 17 points, the high score of the game. He made several shots from near center of the court and at a difficult angle that were umisually^jfood. Wolff, the other forward, played an excellent floor game and scored 10 points. His work was smooth and pretty. The big center. Bell, tool the tip off when he desired and aided in'pasxing was another good man on .the floor. Coltrane was an effective giiard and gave tlie Salis bury forwards plenty of trouble. The entire team was one of tile smoothest running and most accurate appearing here this year. POSTMASTER W. B. WARD TALKS OF THRIFT WEEK Points Out Advantages of Saving Regu- i larly and Tells One Way This Can Be Done. In commenting on (lie activities of Xa- j tional Thrift Week which began Satur day with “Thrift Day." Postmaster W. : B. Ward points out that it is particular- j ly fitting the postal service should play j an important part in these activities and ; pay tribute to the first and foremost ad- | voeute of thrift—Benjamin Franklin. j Although the first postmaster general j was renowned as a philosopher, patriot. 1 diplomat, inventor and scientist, his name : will no doubt live longest by the impres- 1 sion lie has made as an advocate of thrift. j Many of his writings on thrift have be come classics and will be remembered as long as nor language is read. One of i his most fampys saysing: “Never forget to have a penny when all thy expenses are enumerated and paid,” appears on the leaflet which the post office department is puttiug into every home today. Post master General Nfw in an address de livered tat a 192-i thrift week meeting in Washington said that if you ad to this expression that other oue of Frank lins —“Incur no expenses, except that which does good to others or yourself— you will have said all there is to say on the subject of thrift. Postmaster Ward also would have the patrons of his office more clearly under stand the purpose and functions of the postal savings system, the agency of tlie government by whieh thrift is promoted. While it is a saviags institution iu the proper sense of the term, its similarity to a bank ends at “that point. The de posits received froin individuals are im mediately turned over to local banks af ter bonds to secure such deposits are re ceived from tlie bunks as collateral. The policy of postal savings also dif fers from that of savings banks and other savings isntitutionn. Tlie most humble patron of the office is welcomed at the postal savings window. His purchase of a 10-cent savings stamp or his deposit of a single dollar Is received as kindly and given as courteous attention as the transactions of tbe bolder of a million dollar account at aay bank. And, again, postal savings doe* not look with dis favor on such, of it* depositor* who, bav in gaccumulated a tidy sum, make with drawals for the pwnthase of sound in vestments, n home or a business. It is an educational service and if the lieople can be brought to realize the importance of saving a real service will have been rendered and a definite porpoae accom plished. *At MteTH retires.
