' & The Concord Stores Meat Markets, Auto Dealers, whose names were not listed among the business houses that will close on Thursday afternoons, as listed in this paper on last Wednesday, July Ist: We want to tell you, the public, and our patrons, that we appreciate your trade enough to try and serve you to the very best of our ability, by keeping our places of business open as nearly six days of the week as is possible, and at the same time look after the welfare of our employees by letting than have outings and vacations and by carrying Insurance on their lives, etc. We business men know that we must have customers to trade with us, or we will not have any business houses nor employees. We know that there are plenty of places of business open on Thursday afternoons so that you can buy anything you want in Dry Goods, Readv-to-Wear, Men’s Clothing, Shoes, Hardware, Furniture, Automobile Supplies, Groceries, Meats, etc. Therefore, you, the public, who trade with us, come first, before we need any employees, since without customers we cannot run our places of business. 1 A Few Reasons Why We Do Not Close Our Store Except on July 4th, November 11th, Armistice Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas: To the Trading Public who patronize the Concord stores: We have found that by giving one-half day holiday each week that we cannot best serve our customers and close our stores. Our aim is Jo serve the public to the very best of our ability, and to do this we have found that we must keep our store open as much as possible. As to our employees, we try in every way possible to do everything possible for their comfort and welfare. We mention a few things that we do for our employees: We carry Life Insurance on each employee that wants it at the firm’s expense, from $1,000.00 to $2,000.00 each. We carry Accident Insurance on each employee free of charge, in order to protect employees while working for us. ‘ • We give each employee that has been with us for any length of time, a week or so vacation with pay. We serve free Sandwiches, Coffee, Tea, Milk, every Saturday night in order to save employees from walking home when tired, and therefore give better service to our customers. We headed the list a year or so ago to close at eight or nine o’clock Saturday night, in order that all employees in alt stores could get rested for Sunday, as we felt Saturday is a very long and busy day. But some of our fellow merchants who advocate Thursday evening closing would not agree to the Saturday night closing, at eight or nine o’clock—at least they did not stick to this agreement. • We mention these few facts in order that our friends and customers wiil understand that we Want to co-operate in all movements, that are for the good of the largest number of people. We further want to state that we do not want other places to stay open Thursday afternoon because it does not suit us to close. As they have the same right to close their stores as we have to keep ours open. , • • ’ , ~ ‘ , 4 We find that our employees would much rather have their vacation all at one time than a few hours each week. : : " ' .

By JAZZY MOORE * Kannapolis. July 4.—Fresh from two decisive victories over Mooresville the predecing day, the Kannapolis baseball club, strong contenders for state hon ors, ran its string of won games to six. by taking both ends of a double bill from Rockingham here, today, 8 to 4, and 3 to 0. The Morning Game. The forenoon game Was a wild and hec tic affair in which the tired business man lost all the recuperation in the eighth inning that he had gained in the other seven, the local talent finally de feating the Rockingham forces 8 to 4, and incidentally they batted A1 Thomas, star hurler of the Rocks, all over the lot for ten safe blows. It was Thomas’ first loss of .the season. Visitors Support Thomas. Oftentimes spectacular fielding saved the great hurler from other safe blows and held the score down, leaving eight men to perish on the bags. Thomas came near being yanked in the fourth when g galaxy of blows sent a pair of runs across the pan. but he weathered the gale and kept right on pitching. He blew completely up in the eighth frame. Fink Wrecks the Whole Affair. It.started out like a ball game and it went through seven innings of thrilling play, in which the game often hung by a thread, and when either side looked good to wreck the whole affair with hard drives. But on these occasions some fielding on one side or the other made a sensational play stopped a . threatened rally or retired the side without set-ions damage. But Homer Fink, batting' in the cleanup position, did clear the right to the possessor of the encounter when be sent a fonr-ply knock sailing over deep left and trailing three men, that were perched on the bags, in ahead of him. « Locals Score First. The visitors did not score in the first frame, .hut the Kannapolians did better. Saunders opened the scene with a rip pling single. Lapsley sacrificed Saund ers to second. Lee popped out. and Fink, the next batsman, was hit by Thomas. Saunders registered home just before Wood made the last put-out of the semester. Lawrence tied it up in, the second when he scored after getting on base on an error. Hedfern broke this momen tary deadlock, however, by scoring on Ballard’s sharp single. CaraHna Captain-Elect Hits. Again the count was knotted in the fourth. Johnny Johnson, captain-elect of the University of North Carolina nine for 1926, and premier collegiate short fielder of the state, further excelled in home runs. He hit for the circuit with m-attsnfvrvt 08QM coupon he hss plflftd * Lee and Wood brought in the third and fourth runs of the game for Kannap olis while Ballard was responsible for the third marker of the Richmond coun ty aggregation. As stated before. Fink Came through and ended the battle in the eighth. The crowd was yelling at the top of several hundred voiees. The Afternoon Game. The local scored a three to no’thing victory over the Lawrence satellites in the final contest. The superb twirling of Herman Holshouser, the Carolina product whom the New York Giants are sending daily telegrams and scouts toj confer with him to come to terms, was too much for the claimants of the state title. His work on the mound over shadowed everything else, yielding but five badly scattered hits. For the couple of games he has pitched this season he he given up but five bingles, and held his opponents completely scoreless. Johnson saved himself from an error by a beautiful retrieve and magnificent throw. He handled eight chances at short, committting only one fumble. Taylor, of tbe Andersbn club of the Carolina League, joined the Rockingham team Friday night and pitched a fairly good game for them this afternoon. McCain, Helms and Houlsbouser did the scoring.

Mason, veterinary surgeon and Lawrence Bowman, who have been the object of a 10 day’s search by a posse of more than 150 men since their .mys terious disappearance on Rignnl moun tain the night of June 23. were found handcuffed and chained to a tree this morning by Jim Thomas, mountaineer, at 10:30 o’clock. Both men were alive but in ’ serious condition due to their long exposure and insufficient nourishment. TOiey were brought to ChnttanOoga in an ambu lance. i Mason and Bowman after being suffi ciently revived, stated that they had been Het upon the night of their disap pvranee by five hooded men. carried off from Dr- Mason’s automobile and chain ed to a tree. Each night they were blind folded and removed to another place, they stated. y As the two men Were found on a spot that was previously searched by a posse, it is believed that the men were moved each night to a section of the mountain that was searched on the pre vious day by the posse, their discovery being thus prevented. While very thirsty, Bowman was able to talk, according to Thomas, but Mason did not speak. Bow min said that it bad been four days since Mason had eaten, having become augry at held captive and refused to eat or drink on one occasion. The captors then grew angry with M*son, Bowman stated and refused to either feed him ■or give him water. Finding of the men occurred when Thomas, accompanied by his nine-year old grandson, and a German police dog, were seeking hogs that had escaped from hjs farm. He was amazed he mated when he saw Bowman, his face covered with a henry growth of beard, thinking he was an apparition. “I first asked him Jf be was thirsty*” Thomas stated. Ho replied. yes/ I always carry' water on my home as it is impossible to secure on the mountain due to tbe long drought. I fetched him a bottle of water which he grabbed at greedily. I succeeded in twisting it from his frenzied grip, after he had taken about three swallows, as I feared the effects might kill him. “I then turned mjr attention to Dr. Mason who was lying in a stupor and Lawrence said he had not spoken all morning- I forced ths mouth of the bot tle through his lip* and allowed tbe water to go through his teeth. “Presently he began to stow sign of life and began sucking at the bottle. I let him bare about three or fovr spoon fuls but was afraid ’to give him any Three Killed When Lightning Strikes. New Kensington. Pa., July 4.—Three pemona were killed by lightning here to day and two others were injured when a tree under which they had taken abetter in n park during a atorm waa struck. The tree was badly shattered but did not fall. The dead are: Andrew P. King. 38, teis wiffe aim! aavab yearn old, of New Remington. WOttam “Leaving my little grandson with the men I rushed off to the nearest tele phone. I could not find the sheriff’s number, so I communicated with Joe Wills’ stable, where ambulances were secured for them.. “I then realized that I should not have left the boy alone for . bandits might have come back and killed him. as well as spirited the men away. However, nothing like this occurred, the men hav ing been frighteded away. “Bowman told me that they usually kept guard over them some distance away. The son beat down upon them unmercifully, while gnats mosquitos and otlu>r insects preyed on their bodies. “Dr. Mason's wrists were badly cut by the hand cuffs, which I severed with a saw and file J secured at the home from where I called the ambulances. The handcuffs were fastened to a chain, which was wrapped around the tree, Mason was chained the tightest, it being possible for Bowman to raise himself up on his hands and knees.” When news pf the discovery of the men was received in the city Chief Deputy Nick Bush, who had headed the search for the men, leaped into an auto mobile and sped to the sdmit of the I mountain, where he conducted an In vestigation into the affair and sought to ferret out tbe raptors of the men. The news of the finding of the men spread like wildfire. Crowds beseiged the hospitals. By the rime Mason arrived at the hospital a crowd of more than a hundred had almost over run the insti tution. This scene was re-enacted at the sani tarium where Bowman was earned. Crowds and rare congregated for two blocks between hospital and jail. . Following the finding of the two men, Bam Dodsey,' deputy sheriff, ot Be quahatchie county, declared that the disappearance •of the two men “was a fraime-up’’ designed to bring him into 4Wepab. Rf stated that Bowman and Mason had figured that if they could make it appear that they had been killed they could their moonshiniag activities and become rich in selling liquor. Godsey also issued a warning to three federal prohibition officers, K. E. Grubb, Eli and Victor Williams, that he intended to clean up the liquor situa tion on the mountain and charged that Tom Grubb had been selling and trans porting whisky. Sheriff Tom Reiman said tonight that the stories of the men that they had been kidnapped find kept captive ap peared absurd and that be wou’d go to tbe bottom of the affair. 10, and Alice Shearer, 4, the other vic tim* of the bolt were taken to a ho* ** i - File* are too dad to welcome us home.

July 6.—Belgian bricks jire invading the American market. The high prices of common American bricks are bringing competition from overseas. The first 2.000,000 bricks from Belgium arrived several weeks ago shortly after ithe latest increase in the price ot the American article. v A significant feature of the shipment from overseas was that the bricks werq. carefully stacked into the hold of the vessel and they were as carefully un loaded, avoiding the usual loss through bumping and making possible a larger load. The bricks from Belgium or of a size mainly used in the United States, nnd; according to reports, there are 25,000,- 000 more * this size awaiting shipment at Antwerp. The bricks are being de livered where needed in New York City and vicinity direct from the ship. The cargo is part of a quantity of bricks ordered by Amercan contractors who subsequently canceled their orders. The Belgian manufacturers appealed for aid to their Government and tbe of ficials joined them in figuring out. a profitable way of disposing of the material. The sizes were wrong for use outside of America «o they were ship ped here. Belgian Government agents aided tbe movement throughout, und will continue their service until the original 27,000,000 bricks are sold. There is now a good local demand and builders and manufacturers are waiting POPULAR EXCURSION VIA Southern Railway System THURSDAY, JULY lfith. 1*25 V . _ TO ' Florida Points and Retuum ROUND TRIP FARES FROM CONCORD, N.

A.. s<»«>rd, N. <X Charlotte.N/l a. , t - : M ' Monday, July 6, 1925 with keen interest .to see if the success of the Belgian brick sale results in a transatlantic brick trade. The United States produces nearly five billion common brick a year, the product selling for something like $85,- 000,000. An idea of the cost of some of the large office and business buildings may be gathered from the fact that any fnir-sixed structure requires as many as a million bricks. Modern brickmaking is carried on al most entirely by machinery, and as a result the average brickmaker now pro duces over 40,000 per day compared with a few thousand bricks per day under the old conditions. In the process of manufacture, the brickclay is first ground to powder, passed through screens, and thence into the making machine, which applied a pressure 'of over 100 tons ail over. The pressed bricks are then passed into a kiln, where they remain for some days in a temperature of * about 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit.. The process differs some what in various places, and ?ome of the most modern plants can produce the finished articles in much less than the nvernge time. In many remote parts of the country the old method of making bricks by hand still prevails. Among many suggestions put forward to help speed-up building operations is one that bricks should be made of a larger size. It is pointed out mat it would take very little more time to lay bricks which were, say, half as large again as the usual type, and conse quently much more ground would be covered in any given time.
