Newell, who last week assist ed in recovering the bodies of Thomas Terry and Bunyan Thomas from the well in which the two men lost their lives, in Lanes Creek township, re quests that credit be given the Simp son brothers for their heroic acts. Robbie Simpson, who is about 18 years of age. went down into the well with Bunyan Thomas to recover the body of Mr. Terry. Robbie, feeling himself being overcome by gas fumes called to Thomas to climb out. Young Simpson succeeded in reaching the surface and collapsed. Mr. Thomas, too who had proved himself a brave man. perished !u the well. Then Frank Simpson, seeing his brother. Robbie, gasping for breath, hastened into the death cavern, tied a rope around the body of Thomas, and the two were pulled out. A colored man also did a heroic thing. Pan Hamilton went down and secured the body of Mr. Terry. Ail this done in the face of the fact that all three men knew their lives were in imminent danger. Mr. Newell also stated that good neighbors were gathering the crops of Mrs. Terry and Mrs. Thomas, and would continue to do so until all were harvested. This is being done as a service rendered to those in distress. IT ALWAYS PAYS TO USE THE TRIBUNE PENNY ADS. TRY IT. - ! —-*■ "c s '■ * .. . , ■ 4.U— --in and About the city POLICE OFFICERS ARE TO BE CHOSEN SOON Interest Aroused Over Ahlenuank Meeting When Chief and Patrofenen Will Be Named. / With the October meeting of the board of aldermen just a few days off, many persons are wondering if there will be any drastic changes in the per sonnel of the police department when the meeting is history. The October meeting of the board is the set time for the selection of police officers and for that reason speculation is running high. So far as is known, however, noth ing definite has been decided by the al dermen. And who will seek places as chief and patrolmen also remains very much a mystery. That there will be applicants for the place is a foregone conclusion, however, and the Dame known as Rumor says there will be some new faces on the force when the city fathers have cast their votes on the first Thursday night in October. Naturally, tile public is showing the greatest interest in the chief's job. Chief Tnlbirt is expected to be a candidate to succeed himself and it is in connection with his post that most of the rumors have originated. The pay of the chief is such that it attracts men who would not care to be patrolmen, it is pointed out. and with business in many lines none too good report has it that quite a num ber of persons will seek to secure the support of at least four aldermen. Chief Tulbirt's work has been high ly commended by many persons in Concord, but ho of necessity, has made some enemies and it is said these per sons are determined to defeat him if they can. Some members of the board of aldermen supported him two years ago and so far as is known publicly they have not changed their high opinion of him. If there is no change j of mind on their part he will enter the fight with an edge on others who might seek to unseat him. What the new members of the board will do is problematical, says the dame, for although they may have, laid their cards on the table private-1 ly. they have had nothing to say pub-1 licly. As there are six members of ! the board it is possible that a tie could result in the voting and in such a case -Mayor <H. Barrier will hold the balance of power. His attitude in the matter is as deep a secret to the public as the attitude of the board members. Panic Rumor said just after Mayor Barrier and the aldermen were elect ed that they really wanted to clean out the former set of officials and start with a new crowd. That the Panie is not always correct is shown by the fact'that two of the former of ficials were kept by the board—,l. Lee Crowell and C. N. Fields. Borne new faces were seen around the city hall, however, soon after the ne\\\ officials went in and it may be that tile l-uinor that not without some foundation. The filet that all of the former officials were uot kept leads many persons to believe there will be changes in the personnetl of the police deportment. Chief Talbirt is understood to be well satisfied with his present patrol men and it is possible that he may carry the entire force with him if he ; is re-elected. If any of the present i patrolmen contemplate retiring they i have kept the matter to themselves, i The aldermen are certain to be i greeted by a large crowd when they | must meet to decide the matter of | choosing the police officers. It is i characteristic of Concord people to | show unusual interest in those alder i manic meetings which result in the I naming of city officials. The alder ( men can “do their stuff " before slim i crowds for months when only regular | business is to be transacted, but just [ let the time come for selection of offi i rials anil a large crowd is on hand. J It is also characteristic of Concord people, and people everywhere for that matter, to decide matters for city of ficials, and undoubtedly the entire I board already has been chosen by those persons who always picture themselves i as *’on the inside." The fortunate! I thing is that the aldermen always go ahead and do just as they want to, paying no attention in most instances j to the “know nils.” HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN ATHLETIC ELKCTIfiN j | John Mclnnis, Last Year’s Football Captain.

His presentation of claims of au- I thorship are the result of pieces pub lished recently in the papers to the • effect that a phonograph company • was looking for the person who wrote i it in onlcr that they might pay ac crued royalties. ■ Since it came to his attention, he ■ has sent copies of the song as he wrote ■ it to the Y'ietor Company and expects ■ to hear from them within a few days. At the time the wreck of Number , 97 occurred. Lewey was living at Danville a short distance from the ; j place of the wreck. He was then "a ■■ I young sproud” who went round to ■ dances and accompanied his singing with music from the guitar. Immediately after the catastrophe, , he set to work composing the words ; of the song which he set to the tune i of the song "The That Never 1 Returned.” If took him over a month . to complete it. putting in a verse at a time and when he had finished, he - sang it to his acquaintances at the cotton mill at Danville where he work ed then. He also went to Lynchburg, he said, and a number of the snr , rounding cities, where he also sang it for his friends. It became well-known in Danville and although he moved away from that city a short time afterward, it was remembered by the people there. From Danville he went to Alabama and Texas and the song also became . popular in those states. Lewey mov ed to Concord about six years ago and is now employed as a carpenter here. li never occurred to Lewey that his song would be of any commercial val ' ue and for that reason, he did uot | have it copyrighted, lie says. The first he knew of the fact that ! there were people looking for the au t thor came when a friend who had known him years ago sent a clipping from a newspaper which stated that the author was Charlie Noel, of I Greensboro. This friend. George I{. l’lott. of Hillsboro, in writing to the papers said that he had not seen Lewey in years but was certain that he was the author of the song. He added that he thought that la-wry lived in Concord. When Lewey learned that phono graph representatives hud been to Danville trying to settle on the au thorship, lie wrote to them aud sent his version of the song. "The Wreck of No. 97” has been changed since it was written in No vember of 1903. says Lewey. l’arts of "Casey Jones" have crept into it amt parts have been sung differently. It was a better song when he first composed it, he adds. CITY WATER SUPPLY IS STILL AT NORMAL FLOW No One Seems to Understand Just How Cold Water Creek Keeps Run ning at Normal Rate. No one seems to knew just how Cold Water Creek continues to offer a normal supply of water for Concord, but according to L. A. Fisher, head of the water and light department, the stream is doing just that thing. Concord has been about as dry this summer as any other eity in the drought area, yet it has been neces sary to aks the people only for sev eral days to do without their normal water supply, YVhen the curtailed schedule came it applied only to the washing of autos and the sprinkling of lawns. It is true that some of the largest users were asked to cut off their supply all together, but this condition was only temporary anil af j ter the first real rain in several weeks | the creek rose to normal flow and has j been about at that point ever since. I Due to the fact that it has been j exceedingly hot and dry again now for j ten days inquiry was made Monday | to Mr. Fisher as to the condition of jthe creek’s water flow, l "About normal." he said, adding I "and it's hard to understand." | The supply in the creek is so near • ly normal, as a matter of fact, that Mr. Fisher gave no indication of any further curtailed water program. Ap parently it will take several more weeks of drought to stop the creek from doing normal business. At best Cold YVater Creek is but a creek. Many persons seeing the creek in normal conditions for the first time marvel that it can supply Concord. It has been doing it for some years, however, and gives the city about the best water to be found in the state. Some years ago it was reported here that this water taken front its natural source and without being treated, was as pure as that consumed in some cities after it had been purified. “Trip Around the World.” The Luther League of Center Grove Church, near Kannapolis, will give n trip around the world Friday evening, September 25th.

Raleigli, Sept. 21.—Secretary W. N. Everett of the department of state, i today transported Tom P. Jimison, . late of the Wake Forest law school, . to the University where Mr. Jimison , seeks to enter the law school of that great institution. , The entrance into tile University . was not difficult, according to Seerc . tary Everett, who returned tonight from Chaiiel Hill. Mr. Everett found the former mem : her of the conference and fellow Meth odist a very interesting and most i likeable man. The secretary is quite sure that the new law student will find Chapel Hill a hospitable place. No point was raised against Mr. Jimison, who walked light in and will . start to work immediately. Mr. Jimison means to Complete the law course and then to take (lie bar examination. He is aware, of course, that the Charlotte court case in which he paid a fine of SSOO for having fn liis possession several quarts of whis key. may forever.hob up, that objec tion to his getting license may be made before the Supreme Court. But even so. it is believed that the hottest anil most historical prohibitionist on that tribunal will pass his credentials. Mr. Justice Heriot Clarkson always' has thought well of Mr. Tom P. Jimison. and nobody ever did the judge a better turn than Jimison did in 1920. But if the courts should deny lii cense. Brother Jimison desires knowl edge and Cha|>el Hill has it. The procedure of the Charlotte labor editor and former minister is regular. He found his general views a little out of harmony with his church and lie quit. The found hie political views a tritie at variance with the party and he joined LaFollette. He now studies law. Had lie remained at YVake Forest Mr. Jimison would have been the roommate of C. P. Barringer, presi dent of,the State Federation of Labor who has come down to take the course. Wake Forest Turned Jimison Down The Raleigh News and Observer has the following; Barred from entering Wake Forest College because lie was convicted of transporting whiskey in Charlotte last spring. Rev. 3’oin I’. Jimison. La Fol lette elector in the 1924 presidential campaign and former pastor of the Methodist Church of Spencer, was ad mitted to tlie University of North Carolina law school yesterday with out formality. "Our problem is different from Dr. I’oteat s. We are running a public institution and any citizen has aright to come here." said Dr. Chase, accord ing to Mr. Everett. "He has already matriculated and is all ready to go to work tomorrow,” Mr. Everett stated. At Wake Forest it was stated that the refusal to allow him to enter had nothing to do witii a liquor ease at the Y\ ake Forest College summer school in which Jimison was found not guilty. The former Methodist preacher was allowed to enter the summer law school at Y\ uke Forest. He finished t lie .course at the summer school bull "hen he attempted to enter for the college year authorities refused to ad mit him. At Chapel Hill he is entered as a special student in the law school. Governor Morrison has shown a friendly interest In Jimison and it was due to his efforts that a term on the roads was changed to a fine when lie was convicted in Charlotte. Jimi son was arrested with some whiskey in a suitcase. Stanly Woman Gored by Infuriated Cow. Monroe Journal. Sitting in the rear of a Ford tour ing ear. staunching the blood from a long gasli in her side by pressing her clothing against it. Mrs. Clarence Reed, of Stanly county, was rushed through the rain from her home to the Ellen Fitzgerald Hospital by her husband, who drove as furiously through the rain and mud as safety would allow. The wound in his wife’s side had been made by an angry cow, and the gash was some eight inches long and at one point pentertated the abdomen, Mrs. Reed went out to milk yester day evening ns usual, and when the cow saw her in the lot she made a dash for her, made one angry swipe with her horn, then ran away. But that ,oue swijie was enough to inflict a painful and dangerous wound. Mr. Reed placed his wife in hie Ford and came without a moment's delay, but owing to his exeitment was unable to say how long it took him to get here. He was not able to have a thing done for the wound until he got here. At the hospital she was quick ly looked after and this morning was resting comfortably aud there seems to he no danger. She is a spunky little woman, and held the wound like u Spartan. IT ALWAYS PAYS TO USE THE TRIBUNE PENNY AD&. TRY IT.

Specula tion as to what may be in -tore for 1920 appears to be the order of the day. in its current re view the National ltank 01 Com merce of New York approves of the wisdom and restraint shown by mer chants and manufacturers in playing safe by buying from hand to mouth and holding down inventories. It finds that "consistent and successful efforts have hern made to increase profit- by paring costs and by em phasis on rapid turnovers. Determin ed resistance has been offered by manufacturers to advancing prices of raw materials and to demands for wage increase, for the reasons that higher prices of finished products have been promptly refitted in cur tailed demand, while in many lines consumption has made gains on the basis of lower prices." The general reduction of wages in the New England textile mills seems to have been accomplished without great difficulty. In some otner In dustries slight wage reductions have been noted in spots'. The greatest activity appears prominently in building operations, having two chief centres, one in New York City | and vicinity, reaching into New Jersey and along the coast, and in Miami, Fla., and its environs, where a freight embargo has been put on shipments from the North.

Steel mill operations continue at a fair rate of activity, with probably a slight iucrea.se in the present month over August's production. The com paratively heavy output seems to be absorbed quietly by buying for cur rent enecds, and without anticipa tion.. The railroads are expected to resume the buying of freight oars, judging from inquires that have been mane. Rail orders have been placed as tishul. Automobile supplies are in steady demand. Drilling of oil and gas wells will show a slowing down exrcpt in Texas, where moderate winter weather will not interfere with operations. Finished steel prices are pretty steady, though the softening tendency which appeared in March ha- not entirely disappeared. The rise in cotton' prices, follow ing the Government's crop report of the previous week, continued, cul minating. for the time being, in the December option crossing the 25 cent level on heavy buying. Reports from the textile trade last week are said to be the best that have ap peared in many weks. The London auctions of last week brought about a better tone to the domestic wool markets.

Broom says Cleveland and Mexican big boll cot ton have proven the most satisfactory staples for Union county soils and farms. Doubtless more of this is grown than any other variety. The Enquirer would respectfully suggest that fanners generally save plenty of seed of the first pickiug for next year’s planting. By so doing the best and most virile of the entire plant may be bad. It will be recalled that one of the most distressing situations in regard to the starting of {he cotton crop last spring was poor germination. Because of poor quality of seed the present crop will be hundreds if not thousands of bales short. Also if Union county farmers only would save the ! r tine big boll cotton seed, keep them until planting time, and then pool their interests, it is possible they could readily find u mar ket at $1.50 to $2.00 per bushel. Remember, farmers, your best big boll cotton seed have have a real value. Asker: “Why .Is it that Billy Bjones never wears a belt'/” Teller: "He does it so that uo one cau ever hit him below it.”
