Storm Kills One And
Causes Some Damage
Robert Rowland Killed
When He Became En
tangled in Charged Pipes
During Storm.
MT. PLEASANT
STORM CENTER
Chimneys Blown Down
and Trees Damaged by
High Winds.—No Dam
age Here.
One person was killed and consider
able property damaged in Mt. Pleas
ant Monday afternoon during a wind;
and eleetrical storm which struck that
town about 4:30 o’clock nnd moved
on southward to wreak further dam
age in tile county.
Robert Rowland, sixteen-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. John Rowland,
was killed during the storin when lie
became entangled in some charged
water pipes, it being presumed that
the pipes had become charged during
the storm. His body was badly
burned at places where it came in
contact with the pipes.
During the storm, according to re
ports from Mt. Pleasant, a motor in
the ice plant of the Tusearora Mills
caugiit afire, presumably from light
ning. Young Rowland started from
the mill to get a bucket of water to
throw on the motor nnd struck the
highly charged pipes, it was reported,
dentil being almost instantaneous.
The deceased was a grandson of
James Rowland, of Concord, and
James Lefler, of Mt. Pleasant.
Chimneys on the homes of \V. J.
Moose and .7. L. Lefler in Mt. Pleas
ant were damaged by wind during
the storin. nnd according to roportH
received here, roofs on several barns
and outhouses in the town were blown
off or badly damaged by ttte wind.
Several trees in the town were
snapped off near the roots and large
limbs were torn from others.
It is generally believed that Mt.
Pleasant was in the path of a whirl
wind, this theory being advanced by
those persons who noticed that the
wind blew in a southern direction
between here and Alt. Pleasant and in
a northern direction in the town prop
er. At several places between Con
cord and Alt. Pleasant the highway
was strewn with pine needles and in
each case the needles lind been blown
in a southern direction. However.
In M». Pleasant the direction of the
wind had changed to the north and
the cohverging of the winds near there
is believed to have caused the severity
of the storm as no damage from wind
was reported anywhere in Concord
nnd the vicinity of Concord.
From Mt. Pleasant the storm
moved south to the Barrier mill
neighborhood, where it is reported the
wind was accompanied by consider
able hail. Barns, trees and outhouses
in this community wore damaged by
wind, it was reported.
The rainfall in Mt. Pleasant was
no heavier than it was in Concord
although, according to reports, there
was much more lightning there than
herme. The storm lasted only about
twenty minutes in this city and there
was no wind at all. The rainfall
iiere was negligible as it was in Mt.
Pleasant.
Several Concord persons who were
on the highways north of this city,
reported on their return home that
they had run into several hard rains.
It was reported here that a heavy
rain fell between China Grove and
Salisbury.
While several buildings in Mt.
Pleasant were badly damaged luring
the storm no one was injured except
young Rowland. The tower on the
Kindley Mill was blown off and large
tree limbs tossed about, but fortu
nately the falling timbers struck no
one.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
Week of October 10 to 14 Set Aside.—
Plans Now Being Made.
Raleigh. Sept. 8. —OP)—The week of
October -4th to lOtli lias been set |
aside as Fire Prevention Week in
North Carolina, Stacey W. Wade, in
surance commissioner, has announced.
The governor is expected to issue a
proclamation shortly officially desig
nating it as such. Mr. Wade stated.
The department is already at work
making plans for Fire Prevention
Week, and getting in touch with mu
nicipal officials and civic organiza
tions, through which the fire preven
tion program will be made effective,
Mr. Wade says.
The commissioner has written the
civic organizations and clubs through
out the state, asking their co-opera
tion. Pointing out Hint “3411 lives
and five and a half millions lost in
property is too great a toll for one
state to pay,” the letter continues:
“Our citizenship must be impressed
by the fact that five and a half mil
lion dollars has to be paid out of
North Carolina's resources, and that
unless the men big enough to take
Hue lead in civic activities take the
proper attitude toward the rigid en- j
forcemeat of our building laws, bet
ter construction, better equipped fire
departments, safe eleetrical installa
tion, better and safer school build
ings, dormitories and hospitals, we
can reasonably expect this enormous
toll to increase from year to year. It
is indeed a challenge to every civic
organization in North Carolina.”
MITCHELL’S CASE TO
ARMY INSPECTOR GENERAL
Investigation and Report Will Be
Made For Army by the Inspector.
Washington, Sept. B.— o4 s ) —Col.
Mitchell’s latest criticism of the ad
ministration’s air service policy was
referred today to the inspector general
of th# army for investigation and re
port.
The action of the War Department
will not be determined until this re
port has been received. Should grounds
for disciplinary action be found, act
ing secretary Davis will then decide
whether court martial proceedings
shall be initiated.
Major General Helmick, the in
spector general, presumably will call
upon Col. Mitchell for the facts. On
receipt of a statement from the Col.
onel that he did make the charges
against army and navy officers, con
tained in tile statement issued at San
Antonio Saturday, General Helmick
would be in a position to formulate his
recommendations.
Sees Little Improvement in Conditions
in 20 Years.
Wilmington, N. C., Sept. 8. — UP) —
After 20 years in the office of the
Clerk of the Superior court of New
Hanover county, Alajor W. N. Har
ris, now clerk of the court, sees little
Improvement in eondittions during the
' two decades he has been in the office.
One exception was noted by the vet
-1 eran officer. “Before prohibition was
i enacted, there were usually five mur
i dey trials on the docket to every one
i now," he snid. “Otherwise, I do not
see much improvement. And he
pointed out that now there are more
' cases other than murders on the dock
et than ever before.”
i Major Harries entered the office 20
• years ago as deputy clerk. He be
• came clerk six and a half years after
i entering the office, and has held the
' position ever since.
The betting in New York lias been

THE COTTON MARKET
After Opening Generally Steady at
Decline of 1 Point to Advance of
4 Points, Market Fluctuated.
New York, Sept. 8. — UP) —The ac
tion of the cotton marked early today
suggested that accounts had been fair
ly well evening up before the holiday
and that traders were willing for the
government crop report. Apnrcntly
there was no change in sentiment sh I
to the probable showing of the official '
figures on either crop prospects or gin
nings, and after opening steady at a
decline of 1 point to an advance of 4
points on all months except July which
was 12 points higher, prices fluctuated
within a range of 5 or (5 points dur
ing the first hour.
Some hedge selling was reported
here, but it seemed to be about offset
by trade buying and orders on the
whole were well divided. Reports of
high temperatures in the South over
the throe-day adjournment probnbly
had a sustaining influence which off
set the effect of a slightly easier mar
ket in Liverpool.
Cotton futures opened steady; Oc

TEACHING NORTH CAROLINA
Numerous Requests Being Received
For Maps am. For Other Informa
tion.
i Raleigh. N. Sept. B.—(P)—That,
teaching North Carolina is going to
be quite popular in the public schools
this season is indicated by the num
erous requests for maps and other
information about the statp received
by the Department of Agriculture
during the past few days. Numbers
i of teachers have applied for copies of
■ the agricultural map distributed by
i the department and for copies of
i "North Carolina, the Land of Oppor
-1 tunity.’! _. _
The calls indicate that teachers
- throughout the State seem interested
- in teaching tile rising generation facts
. about North Carolina, with especial
- emphasis on the state's agricultural
E opportunities. A number of calls,
- however, have been received by the de-
I partment for “anything of interest
. about North Carolina.”
i These requests for information come
- from all sections of the state. Inter
est is confined to no one locality.
i From a teacher in a town near Win
ston-Salem, came a rquest which;
I read;
"A few years ago you sent me a
map of North Carolina that I used
very successfully in teaching. I am
I writing to ask if I may have another
to use in the same way. The chil
■ dren seem much interested in the
: geography of the home state when a
good map is before them.”
Another teacher wrote: "Please

Rains of M< st» te _ ~
It Possible tb Lift Ban on
Water Consumption.
CREEK FLOWING
VERY FULL NOW
While Very Little Rain Fell
Here, There Was Heavy
Fall Along Watershed,
Causing Creek to Rise.
Once again the residents of the city
of Concord may use water freely with
out having a guilty conscience.
Heavy rains in the vicinity of Lan
dis and Kannaj>olis Monday after*-
noon resulted in a rapid rise of Cold
Water Creek and converted the tiny
rivulet of water into a raging torrent
for a short while, leaving the city in
much better shape in regard to its
supply than it has been for weeks.
So much improved is the How of
water that Supt. L. A. Fisher today
lifted the embargo which had been
placed on the excessive use of water
last Saturday and declared that per
sons might again use the precious j
liquid as they pleased.
In a statement issued early this |
morning. Air. Fished announced that j
the restrictions which had prevented
people from watering their lawns or
washing their cars would no longer
be binding unless there was a resump
tion of the drought. In the latter
eventuality, a proclamation would be
issued similar to the first one, it was
said.
The rains in the upper part of the
county and in lower Rowan were!
much heavier than in Concord. Around i
Landis, which forms the upper part
of the watershed, the downpour con
tinued for a considerable length of
time.
Water in the creek began to rise
before nightfall and by seven o'clock
it was running through the piping at
the top of the dam which had been
thrown up during the drought to keep
from losing any of the water during
the drought.
Between eight-thirty and nine, the
negro watchman at the pumping sta
tion called Mr. Fisher and informed
him that the dam was about to be
washed away. Mr. Fisher rushed out
but before he reached the station, it
had gone. When the water reached
the top, there was a sudden swish
and the whole thing disappeared, ac
cording to the negro.
The planking which had been driv- I
en in the sand below the dam to pre- |
vent seepage was also torn loose, the j
force of the water being sufficient to
break the boards off and wash them j
downstream. At is height, the water |
half filled the ( channel of the creek.
Although the water is down tins
morning to what it is in ordinary
times, it is sufficient to warrant the
lifting of the restrictions.
It was the concensus of opinion
among the officials of the water and
Light Department that Monday’s
showers were an indication that the
drought had broken and that there
would be more or less general rains
from now on.
