IN AND ABOUT THE CITY
NO MORE MAD DOGS
REPORTED IN CITY
Two Dogs Were Killed Tuesday Night
and Three Yesterday by the Local
Police Officers.
No more mad dogs have been re
ported to local police since they killed
three yesterday. The dogs killed
yesterday were said to have been
bitten by a scrubby looking dog which
came into town Tuesday from the
Harrisburg section, bit two children
and a number of dogs and was finally
killed Tuesday night. The dog was
raving mad, according to persons who
can detect the disease.
One dog bitten by this mad dog was
killed by police officers Tuesday night
and tile other three were rounded up
yesterday morning after officers were
advised that they too. had been bitten
by the mad dog.
It was reported here in one of the
many l-umors created by the presence
of the dog that twelve hounds in one
yard had been bitten. This could not
her verified, but if they were bitten
the police have not been notified.
Tile daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.
E. Peele, who was bitten by the dog.
while near her home on Xortji Spring
street, is reported as resting very com
fortably. The pasieur treatment is
being given to her by a local physi
cian and it will not be necessary for
her to go to Raleigh as was formerly
the case.' The child was bitten on
the nose, but her nose was not as bad
ly lacerated as was first reported.
Police officers arc keeping a sharp
watch for stragglers among the canine
family and nil dogs that seem to be
without home will be taken up and
shot. Officers are determined not to
let a mad dog scare be created here
if they can avoid it. and dogs found
running about without a vaccine tag
and without apparent destination will
be killed.

EXPLAINS WORKING OF
SCHOOL FUND MEASURE
Term of Schools M ill Not Be Over
Six Months at Regular General
Public Expenses.
High schools proposed under the
re-organization plan of the county
board of education cannot operate
longer than six months ea> - h year with
money from the general tax levy, ac
cording to Prof. .1. B. Robertson, su
perintendent of public schools of the
county, who calls attention to a dis
crepancy which appeared in Tbe Daily
Tribune Wednesday in regard to the
plans for a new system of high schools
in the county. Prof. Robertson ex
plains that the term of the spiiools
cannot and will not be over six months
at regular general public expenses, a
special fund by local tax or other
source being necessary before the six
months term, the constitutional pro
vision. can be exceeded.
Prof. Robertson explains further
that since the high school grades are
a legal part of the public school sys
tem, high school buildings and such
transportaion as is necessary in car
rying out a high school program for
six months is a legitimate part of the
public school budget to be provided
| by regular county levy, but any such
program beyond a six months term
cannot be had under tbe general law
and constitution as now written.
However, Prof. Robertson added, it
is the fond hope and expectation of
the board of education, that, as soon
as the buildings are erected and the
organization set up, provisions will
be made for a minimum standard term
of eight- months for every school and
every child in the county.

THE CONCORD DAILY tRIBUNE
N. A. BLACKWELDER
‘ RETURN’S TO HIS HOME
( (Continued froth Page One)
I neighbors later. On inquiring from
one of the local policemen when he
could catch a bus 6o Salisbury, be
I was interrupted by a tonrist inquiring
* the way to that city. The policeman
1 asked the tourist if he would not car
-1 ry Mr. lilackwelder who would show
- him the road. This was I agreed to
| and Mr. Blackwelder vanished In a
car with a Tennessee license,
i Tlie fart that he did leave in a
tourist's automobile gave rise to all
, sorts of strange rumors in Concord
when it was learned that Mr. Blaek
, welder had disappeared. One man
, even went so liar as to declare that he I
i passed him on a road just at the
North Oarolina-Tennessee line. His
, family feured that he might have met
> with foul play.
. When he left the eity there wad in
his pocket, only seventy dollars. He
, is one of the more prosperous fanners
in the community but believed that
. would be sufficient to take him to Mo
> line and keep him till he had secured
; work.
Going to Salisbury, be there pur
: chased a ticket direct to Moline by
way of Chicago. Food was high on
• the so he ate but little.
However, when be reached bis desti
i nation, he procured a good boarding
place which gave good meals so he
lived h : gli while there,
i After a day's stay in Moline. Mr.
‘ Blackwelder. in pursuance of his plan
‘ to see the west, went over to St,
1 Louis where he remained a day.
1 Then he returned to Moline where
' three days were spent in looking for
1 work. The nearest he could come to
' getting a job was a promise of work
1 on the week following but this seem
ed too far away so he pulled out and
went to Indianapolis. From Indian
apolis he went on to St. Paul, where
he eventually ran out of money and
wired home to .relatives for money
with which to return home.
“ As Mr. Blackwelder took no bag
gage. he had to purchase underwear
and shirts as lie traveled, and lie also
- procured a small hangbag in which to
carry the soiled ones.
Leaving St. Paul Monday night, he
reached Salisbury in the middle of the
afternoon and as there was no train
till night, he rode a bus to Concord.
1 His daughter had been in the city
lookuig for him but when lie did not
come in on the train, she went back
home. As soon ns he could get to a
telephone, he called the home and told
them to come get him.
TL grandson. Elba Faggart. a boy
in his teens, reached his grandfather
first. The two shook hands and Mr.
Blackwelder said: "Hello Boy." He "
then resumed his conversation with
the people gathered around. His
daughter. Miss Vernie Blackwelder.
next came up and they shook hands.
"Well, pa." she said, "aren't you
glad to get home?"
"I don't know." he repelled, "not so
j glad. I guess."
I Later, the family was all seated on
the porch of his home and the eon
,l vernation was only partially concern
ed with Mr. Blackwelder’s trip. Mrs.
| Blackwelder told of her journey to
, I Texas and (Alabama. She was in
terested. however, in learning übout
his food and water. He declared that
, the water was almost as good as it
■ was at home except for the fact that
it was "awful warm." He just didn't
- see how they could feed like they did
. fov what they charged. Why. lie
| said, he could get a square meal for
35 or 40 cents anywhere and it was
just a plenty. They had chicken but
he did not eat that because he want
l ed something he didn't get at home.
Only onee did he eat a drum-stick.
On h:s trip, ite was lost a number
of times in the cities but it was easy
to get right, he declared, because he
would ask a policeman who was al
ways nice about directing him. Ev
erybody was friendly, said Mr. Black
welder. and helj>ed him on his trip. It
seemed like he had known the people
he met all his life, they were so nice.
He wouldn't live in any of the cit
ies if he had a chance, he added.
They were just too dirty and crowd
ed. And it was so easy to get lost.
St. Paul was an old. dirty place, he
said, in recalling incidents of his
journey. Indianapolis was u clean
place with wide streets and he was
only lost once.
Had lie not lost his nerve, he would
have gone to New York. He had al
ways wanted to go there but he was
just a little afraid to try to get
there.
Mrs. Blackwelder wanted r to know
if he had enough money for the re
turn trip. “I sent him $3 more than
lie asked for in his telegram." she
said.
She then told of how on the Sat
urday afternoon when he left, she
looked for him about dark but eon
eluded that he must have waited for
some of the neighbors, who were re
turning late. Once a ear stopped at
the foot of the hill and she thought
he iiad come back. When he did not
come, she sent two of her children to
look for him, thinking he might have
hud a stroke of apoplexy. When he
failed to come back by morning, in
quiries were begun and it was d:s
covered that he had disappeared. And
all the time Mr. Blackwelder was
gone, we were that worried, said sbe,
that there was hardly a tiling eaten.
All the pies just had to he thrown
away and the chicken would last a
couple of days.
Mr. Blackwelder, on his part, said
lie was feeling fine and declared that,
as soon as he had a bath and put on
dean clothes, he would be all right.

FASHION SHOW
IN “BORN RICH”
Maay Expensive Gowns Worn by
Claire Windsor in New Motion
Picture.
What is one of the most vital fac
tors in the production of a motion
picture? A mere man would never
be able to answer that question no
matter how many "guesses" he' is
given. As for the women—well,
we’ll supply the answer.
It is the star’s or the leading
woman's gowns.
An incrdible nraount of time and
study is given to tfie dresses to be
worn in a picture, and there are
several good reasons why producers
are obliged to go to such pains. In
the first place, the women in the au
dience would feel "cheated - ’ if they
were not treated to the sight of sever
al stunning creations of the inodist’s,
art. Secondly, those in charge of
overseeing the costuming must never
lose sight of pile fact that fashions
change almost overnight.

WOMEN AND SMOKING.
Many women, apparently, do not
believe tlie Xo-Tobacco Conference'll
warning that one-sixth of a drop of
pure nicotine will kill a man appliea
to their sex. Tp feminine equal
rights program seems to' aid at free
dom to smoke in public as well as
in private.
At Xantasket Beach, Mass., benches
have been marked "Reserved for
Women (Smoking Permitted)” as a
result of many requests. Detroit
itreet car lines announced that men
and women would be allowed to smoke
on the ears but there was such an
uproar in the city council that a ban
was placed .on all smoking on street
cars. Some time ago a Long Island
railway provided a smoking car for
women byway of experiment but it
was so poorly patronized that the car
has been taken off. “Sure, they can
smoke,’’ said Chief of Police Jones,
of Terre Haute, Ind., when he re
ceived complaints that girls were seen
smoking in autos.
The sight of so many women smok
ing in restaurants, etc., has led the
Catholics Daughters of America and
some other organizations -to join in
the war against ieigarette. smoking,
especially by young womeu. Figures
presented by the internal revenue bu
reau show that women are a large
factor in disposing of the 73,000,000,-
000 American-made cigarettes con
sumed each year. Many mamifae
trers now cater to women with silk
nipped, iierfumed and other brands.
The anti-tobacco interests are as
sailing Kecretary of Agriculture Jar
(Jine for his advocacy of tobacco. Dr.
Jardine refers to Lady Nicotine as
Van attractive and loyal friend.” He
pledges his support to the domestic
tobacco industry because it is “a
major source of income” for over
450,000 farmers.
“To encourage the tobacco indus
try is a short-sighted policy, unworthy
of a nation of our intelligence,” com
ments Dr. D. H. Kress, vice-presi
dent of the Anti-fMgadptte’AllMhce of
America. He wants that “the'to
bacco habit is threatening the future
of America.”
