NEW REGULATIONS
IN EFFECT NOW
General Public Warned to
Aid Officials in Efforts to
Prevent a Water Crisis
In the City Now.
The water situation hi the pity is
hourly bacoming. more serious.
In a notiee to consumers this morn
ing, thp order was made that the
use of water be curtailed. The text
of the water and light department's
. ' message was as follows:
f To the general public: Yon are
' hereby notified net to use any water
for the watering of lawns and the
washing of cars and any other un
necessary use of water until further
notice on account of the scarcity of
water, as the situation is serious.
Signed. Board of I.ig'tt and Water
Commissioners.
It hnd been hoped that the cut of
last week when several of tl|e larger
consumers were stopped would be suf
ficient to tide the city over until rain
should fall. During the past two
or three days, however, there has been
a gradual decrease in the flow of Cold
Water Creek, making necessary this
new curtailment.
At the present time, the creek is a
tiny stream in which a thread of water
about three feet wide and about three
fliclics deep is flowing. A rough es
timated by Superintendent I* A.
Fisher, of tlie water and light de
partment, gave t lie flow as 300 gal
lons per minute.
Under ordinary circumstances two
pumps are kept busy during the en
tire day and are shut off • at night.
Only one pump is now running and
it is found necessary to keep it shut
off twenty or thirty minutes while the
dam fills sufficiently for ukout twenty
minutes of pumping.
Speculation has been made as tb
how long it will be until further cur
tailment ill the use will have to be
made if rain does not soon fall. No
rain has fallen since August sth, ex
actly a month ago, and during the
two months previous, there had been
practically no rain at all.
Water officials have been busy con
necting the two artesian wells wliiek
formerly supplied the city with water
so that they may be pressed into serv
ice should there be a continuation of
tbe unprecedented drought. It is
possible that these two would give
sufficient water for the curtailed use.
One of the wells is on the. Central
Graded School grounds and the other
is at llic city pumping station. One
is over 700 feet in depth and the
other is approximately 1,300 feet deep.
Owing to the hardness of the water
from this supply they will not be
used until it is absolutely necessary.
Efforts are being made to conserve
every drop of water at the pumping
station at Cold Water Creek. A
dam of about four feet has been
thrown so that none of the stream
will escape. Dove-tailed planking has
been driven in the sand to eliminate
any seepage in the sand.
Above the dam is tbe tiny creek
winding down the ordinarily forty
foot bed into tre dam which fills part
ly during tbe time the pump is shut
off and draining when it is working.
Below the dam, there is no flow of
water in the creek, pools of water
standing in scattered places.
The visit to the creek was made
during the morning and it was stated
by workmen there that the creek
would be even lower during the late
afternoon. There is generally a
slight replenishing (hiring the night.
Both the city sta
tion are practically fall' at the pres
ent time, but it wottld take only
a short while tUs water

With the Concord Tribune and The
Times putting up over SIO,OOO in big
handsome automobiles and gold and
silver, the great campaign, announced
last Thursday, has not seen candid
dates entering ns they should.
Perhaps it is because the prizes are
so Stupendous that one can hardly be
lieve it all.
Anyway, no matter why, some one,
maybe you, is losing a wonderful op
portunity.
Awards will absolutely be made.
No matter whether there are 100 can
didate or ten candidates.
Now, with few candidates entered,
is the time to cash in, to get a lead.
It is easy now. A worker, one with
real ambition and pep, can take a lead
that will be hard to overcome on the
home stretch. More votes are given
on subscriptions now than later. That,
too, helps.
Opportunity For All.
The pessimist sees only the hole in
the doughnuts while the optimist
well, ycu know the rest. Look for
the beautiful if you would have it—
cash in on the opportunities that are
offered you if you would profit ac
cordingly.
Such an opportunity—the equal of
which has never been offered you be
fore—is now being presented to you.
In a few short weeks from now the
Tribune and Times will reward all the
energetic hustlers of Cabarrus and
surrounding counties, and the oppor
tunity existing for more “live wire"
campaigners to enter the election and
make themselves important factors
and winners of the grand prizes, is
actually aloud. Why, it’s anybody's
opportunity for the big automobiles.
lie js an opportunity surely, for
the man or woman who looks at a
thing from a business standpoint, and
who arrives at a conclusion as to its
merits by the way it appears to them
as a business proposition. Some‘per
sons will earn upwards of S2OO a
week for the next few weeks. How’s
that for a business proposition?
Election Just Opened.
The competition, which is just open
ing, is open to any reputable man.
woman or child in this territory. All
that is necessary to enter the race is
to clip the nomination blank, appear

WOMEN NOW TAKE ACTIVE
PART IN PUBLIC LIFE
What flic State's Problems Are From
a Woman's Standpoint.
Raleigh, Sept. 5. —(A 3 )—For years
North Carolina problems, their so
lution. and the future possibilities of
the state have been discussed by men.
It is only within recent years that
women have begun to take an active
part ia public life.
From the standpoint of a woman
who lias been in public life for the
last twenty years, wlmt are North
Carolina's most important problems
of today? What are the State’s
problems from the woman's stand
point?
They are four in number, accord
ing to one woman who has spent the
lasi twenty years in North Cafolina
public life;
.1. A recasting of our present tax
ing system.
2. Tie reorganization of our pub
lic school system.
3. The promotion of agriculture
through the perfecting of organiza
tions in farm communities for efficient
marketing, reasonable financing, etc.
4. Adequate protection of the ex
isting forests and reforestation of cut
over areas ami barren lands.
Those are North Carolina's out
standing problems of today, in the
judgment of Miss Harriet M. Berry,
organizer of savings and loan asso
ciations, editor of the Market News,
and- secretary of the North Carolina
Good Roads Association.
Some of these problems “can be
remedied with legislation," Miss Berry
says; “others must be worked out by
already existing agencies working
with the people themselves.”
“The solution of our educational
and other problems” depend upon the
recasting of our tax system. Miss
Berry believes. "There should be a
uniform state tax levy on all property,
real and personal, corporate and con
sumers. for the support of a real pub
lic school system. This will have
to be done before the country boys and
girls, constituting from 90 tb 70 per
cent of our people, can have educa
tional opportunities eommensurne with
tile city boys and girls.”
Miss Berry does not favor an ad
ditional tax on farm lands, but n tax
on certain luxuries such as tobacco
products, cold drinks, cosmetics, and
other luxuries.
Tile reorganization of tho public
school should be such as to make
“uniform standards as regards teach
ers. books, and equipment for tbe
country as well as the city children.”
This can come about Miss Berry be
lieves. only as the tax system is im
proved.
“North Carolina's advantages in
soil, climate, and geographical loca
tion should enable her to become one
of the largest factors in the great
eastern consuming etnters,” Miss Ber
ry believes. But to accomplish this
there must be worked out “for each
farm community an agricultural pro
gram which will put farming on a
business-like and efficient basis."
Forest conservation and re-foresta
tion will develop a tremendous source
of revenue in tbe course of 25 or 30
years. Miss Berry says, "but “there
must be a well-defined and continuous
policy of protection and reconstruc
tion."

LARGER RESCUE EFFORTS
FQR MISSING SEAPLANE
Faint Hope For Its Safety Aroused.
—Has Been Missing 90 Hours.
Honolulu, Sept. 5. — UP)— New and
larger rescue efforts are being put
forth by naval forces in this district
in the search for the missing seaplane
PN9 No. 1, which disappeared nearly
90 hours ago somewhere on the broad
Pacific not many miles from the Ha
waiian Islands. Faint hopes for the
safety of Commander John Rodgers
and his four companions was aroused
when the tender AVhipporwills report
ed that three widely separated flares
had been seen on Tuesday night.
A naval scout plane piloted by Lieut.
Peterson was forced dowii yesterday
off the coast of the island of Kaui.
The identity of the plane was unknown
for many hours and led to a report
that it was probably the missing PN-9
No. 1. This was corrected last night
b? naval officers when they identified
the Peterson plane. As Lieut. Pet
erson was able to make effective re
pairs and take the air, leaving his tow
ing sampan, navy officials considered
the incident so light that it was not
then reported to the press.
This is the thirty-fourth season for

Mitchell, air officer of the Bth area,
and former assistant chief of the air
service, today issued a statement de
nouncing the War and Navy Depart

to the Shenandoah and the loss of the
PN-S) No.-1, in the Honolulu High*.
The statement was issued “after ma
ture deliberation and after a sufficient
time has elapsed since the terrible ac
cidents to our naval aircraft to find
out what happened.”
“These accidents are the direct re
sults of incompetency, criminal negli

Shelby. Sept. 4.—From 8.609 peo
ple in 1920 to a population of 8,854 in
1925—that is the official history of
the remarkable progress Shelby lias
made during recent years. An offi
cial census, made by the department
of commerce, completed here this af
ternoon gives Shelby a population
double that of 1920. Five yeaty ago
with over 1,500 people extra. Only
five years ago there were just 8.409 %

about flying and the lives of the air

WRATII OF JUDGE
AROUSED BY JURY J
Jurist Sent Body Home After It Had
Freed Defendants in a Liquor
Charge.
Moeksville, Sept. 4.—When a petit
jury came in and returned a verdict
of not guilty in an illicit liquor count
against J. C. Brewbaker and a colored
man, Charlie Tomlin, Judge Stack
told the twelve men that there would
be no further use for them in his
court anil they could go home after
proving their attendance. So far as
is known it was the first time a jury
here had ever been sent away.
Judge Stack let it be known that
he is thoroughly in smvpathy with the |
enforcement of the liquor law and I
that lie would stand for no pussy
foot ing on the part of juries. Not)
in words did he openly criticize the |
body of men who sat upon the case,]
but his action in dismissing them was j
even more positive than any word!
could have been and it spoke volumes [
to the hundreds who crowded the
Davie county court house.
Judge Stack declared he thought the
case an open and shut one. He said
he thought the jury ought to have
found that such were tile facts. With
these words he ordered the jury to
their homes, first telling them to go
downstairs to the clerk's office to get
tlleir pay, but lie declared his court
had no further use for them as jurors.
