The new Methodist teachers of the city schools and the new members of the class were accorded or gracious welcome Thursday evening when they , were delightfully entertained at a dinner party given by the Ellen Pem berton class of Central Methodist Sunday school. Upon arriving the guests proceeded at ouce to the spacious dining hall which in itself presented an attractive picture under the roseate glow B>f candles, the tables being tastefully arranged in the form of a hollow square. Before being seated the . guests sang one verse of “America” and Rev. Dr. T. F. Marr asked a blessing. A delicious salad course, followed by an ice course, was served by the young ladies of the inter mediate department. Mrs. W. D. Pemberton, teacher of the class, was the able mistress of i ceremonies. After a brief well chos en expression of welcome, she intro , duced Rev. IV. A. Jenkins, pastor I of the church, who spoke appropriate t ly of Concord’s appreciation of the young women, who have come into our , midst for the winter, and welcomed , them particularly to Central Church. | A. S. Webb, superintendent of the schools, being next railed upon, re sponded with one of his witty, charac teristic speeches, in which he re ferred to the teachers as “his girls” and declared that his usual success in choosing such an able faculty was due to the fact that he selected them , on the' basis of “good looks.” . After a unique roll call an enjoy . able contest was staged. Posters , were shown illustrative of the name of , some guest present and the others I were expected to fit the proper name I to the- poster. For example, wUq . could the happy bride be, other than . Mrs. Brown Phillips? The prizes, i a ruler and dictionary, both useful I in the school room, were awarded to , Misses MoMey and Btttler. » Much singing added to the pleasure of the evening. Many old favorites, reminiscent of days 'gone by, were sung by the company, under the lead i ership of Price Doyle, with Mrs. Les lie Correll at the piano. Other than the teachers, as special guests of the class, were Mrs. Bue, of Louisiana, guest of Mrs. H. W. Blanks; Mrs. * Arnon, guest of Mrs. Stirewalt; Mr. and Mrs, A. S. Webb, Price Doyle, Mrs. Leslie Correll, Rev. W. A. Jenkins, and Rev. Dr. T. F. Marr, presiding elder of this district.

Anthony in 1883, Now N in the Possession of J. B. Sherrill An old scrap book has for raaof people the same fascination that a piece of antique furniture or an old family heirloom holds. It is interest ing because of its age and because of its association. One of, the most entertaining scrap books that has come to the attention of He Tribune is one which was made by W. D. Anthony in the year 1893 and Whieh is filled with intimate items about the city of Concord at that time. It is now in the ossession of J. B. Sherrill and it is the purpose of The Tribune to present clippings from time to time culled from this volume. Many of the items are taken from ■ the Daily Standard Which ♦as at. that time the daily paper of Concord. Many also lire taken from The Times whieh was running as a semi-weekly 1 as it is now. A picture of Concord may be ob -1 tained in part from the account of a . visit which was made to the "city by : a Greensboro man. The following is a quotation from the Daily Standard: "Mr. Joseph H. Fetzer, uncle of ours 1 nobleman by that naifie, having spent several weeks here, went back to Greensboro with a good taste in his mouth and talked to the Record man who rushes into print as follows: “ ‘Uncle Joe’ was much pleased i with his visit to Concord nnd says the town is a place to recruit when 1 one is tired of the noise and bustle of Ea rnilroad centre. It nestles among i the hills and affords beautiful lnnd r dcape views that are very agreeable, i “Concord people are happy In the - enjoyment of their beautiful homes, t with large lawns and terracey along finely shaded avenues. I i “Concord is a place of much busi -1 ness; it has a number of back eoun -1 ties to draw upon. Its principal com f modity is cotton nnd it has several r large factories to consume all that r comes to its market. Xotwithstand ? ing this is said to be its dullest sen ’ son (most of last year's crop of eot i ton having been marketed) there are , no idlers around—every man lias 1 something special to do and seems to -be busy all the time. The young men ate all engrossed with business f nnd leave the young ladies to look f out for themselves, but the ladies are - equal to the emergency—they drive - their own teams aud are quite able to r ‘paddle their own boats.’ Brave, self - reliant, accomplished and beautiful > are the daughters of the city of Con r cord. I “One of the nice things iu Concord . is its Roller Flour Mill. It is new, ' handsome and complete .in every par - ticular and Mr. Crowell, the proprie . tor, is a young man who understands . just how to manage it to produce the ’ best results. It is making a fine < grade of flour and promises to yield 3 the gentleman a handsome return for i his venture. “Bro, J. P. Cook is happily settled - in life with a very accomplished and i elegant ‘wife, and between the Stand s ard and his home pleasures his time 3 is now divided—the latter affording . the more enjoyment nnd doubtless 3 receiving the greater care. Happy i man. , “After a sojourn in Concord one I will conclude that it Is a place of rare > social enjoyment. Its people are hospitable and kind to the stranger . within its gates; they are not spas , fffodically demonstrative in their inter * course, but have a quiet, gentle man . ner which bids you ‘feel at home and . be one with us.’ A good people are they.” [ Politics were a thing of great mo , ment in that day just as they are now. The election created a great deal of BLUEFIELD MOTORCADE TO GET BIG WELCOME North Carolina Cities Making Prepa rations for the Entertainment of Visitors. Preparations are being made along • she line of travel for the entertain / ment of the Bluefield motorcade which is visiting North Carolina Friday and ■ Saturday ofl a goodwill tour in the ' interest of the Lakes-to-Florida high way. The delegation will be entertained , in Concord Saturday morning at the Jackson Training School where they will be served cold drinke and sand wiches. The mayor will make a brief talk and the boys are to present a musical program. Press dispatches from the other sec tions of the state indicate that elab orate plans are being made for tbe entertainment of the visitors. In Winston-Salem the Chamber of Com merce is entertaining at a luncheon Friday. A dinner is to be given in Salisbury at 8 o’clock this eve ning. On Saturday morning a party from Concord and Charlotte will motor to Salisbury to accompany them to Con cord where they will remain a short time and then go on to Charlotte for the exposition and dinner Saturday night. An effort is being made in Concord to get as large a number as possible to go to Salisbury Saturday morn ing tot act as an escort on the way back to the city. It is not definite ly known yet how large a crowd will be on hand to greet the motorists. GOVERNOR’S SECRETARY TO ATTEND THE FAIR Charles H. England Announces In tnation of Visiting Concord.—Post pone* Vacation to Bo Present. Charles H. England, private secre tary to Governor McLean, will attend the Cabarrus County Fair this year, it was learned here today from a let ter written by Mr. England to Major W. A. Foil. He will be Mr. Foil's guest during the festivities. It is said that MK England has 1 been anxious to attend Cabarrus 're anier event since its beginning sev- i e»kl years ago, but did not have the opportunity to do so until this year. He, however, postponed his vacation ' until October no that ho could bo preo- i THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE excitement and when the polls closed on May Ist, 1893. it was discovered that J. Lee Crowell had become may or, winning over Charles McDonald 1® a 39 majority. Under the heading "The Agony Over." the Daily Standard has the following to say about it: "The elec tion is over. Mr. Jns. Lee Crowell, a young lawyer of the town, becomes mayor having defeated Capt. Chas. McDonald by a votP of 39. When the polls closed Monday evening, neither side knew) the result- —it was suspense "Just what effect the circulars by some of the gentlemen Mr'. McDonald selected on his ticket.had on the result can not be told. Many believe, since , the electioti is over and the closeness observed, that these circulars,had no little weight <n the contest. It was a close fight and oue worked for all that was worth.” The reference to the circulars brings . back to tbe older residents of the city the recollection of the secret tickets i that Capt. McDonald had printed and : how a number of those on his list is ' sued circulars when they learned that : their names appeared on them saying * that they would not serve. Among i those thus issuing circulars were D. i B. Morrison, D. F. Cannon, Jno. P. Allison D. R. Hoover. I The Standard has the following to t say about Mr. Crowell: i “James L. Crowell, who was elect s ed Mayor of Concord on May Ist, ' was born in Stanly County Septem ber 26, 1863, and will be 30 years of age at his next birtjiday. * “Mr. Crowell is a son of Mr. T. J. , Crowell, who lives near New London. ; Stanly county. “He studied law at tbe University of North Carolina and ■ was licensed to practice in September. ■ 1888. “In November, 1888, Sir. Crowell I took up his residence in. Concord and t hung out his shingle, “Attorney at ■ Law.” After some months he formed -a copartnership with ex-Judge IV. J. - Montgomery, with whom he is still > associated in business. 3 “Mr. is n quiet, nnassum > ing gentleman, nnd the Standard be [ lieves that he will do all possible for 3 the progress of Concord.” t Strange accidents were reported - then as now. One of those told about : is the following: “A strange fatality , is reported at the home of Mr. Wil liam Cook, who lives near Pioneer I Mills. Within a week he has lost ■ his wife and one of his sons by sud den death. Bqth dropped dead. One I morning last week, as Mrs. Cook was , dressing herself, she dropped dead. - Yesterday her son, Amos, a boy of 10 . years of ago, dropped dead in the s house. The boy had worked the prev > lous day on the farm and had given > no intimation of sickness of any i kind. He was preparing to go to work - yesterday, when he dropped dead.” Some of the shorter items are as I follows: I ‘Mr. R. A. Brown's fine brood - mare gave birth to two mule colts ! Sunday morning. It is not often that 1 a mare gives birth to twins.” > "Theye will be a dance tonight in ' Patterson’s hall complimentary to the visiting young ladies.” * One of special interest at this time : is: “On Wednesday night there was s a 2-inch rainfall.” “Mr. Bell does not deal in bells; ■ neither does Mr. Rice sell rice. This - is an observation never made before.” “We have planted some eggs under l a hen that refuses to do anything but s squat. We have under her 14 double yellowed eggs and we expect 28 spring ■ chickens. If our hen realizes the fame awaiting her, she’ll do her duty : and we’ll be ready for the fair." ent. Mr. England hopes to remain in the city for the entire fair but will at least be here for several days. LARGE BOOTLEG RING IN NEW YORK BROKEN Were Allowed to Operate Months While Prohibition Agents Collected Evidence. New York. Sept. I.—What is re garded officially* as the biggest boot leg ring in the country has been smashed after being allowed to oper ate five months while a regiment of federal agents obtained evidence on which they hope to convict 27 men of conspiracy to violate the dry law. ' Raiders of th* new dry regime of General Lincoln C. Andrews yester day invaded two office buildings simul taneously in the -theatrical district at Times Square and arrested 13 men. Warrants for 14 more remain to be served. The ring, doing business in the guise of a real estate firm, operated in Canada and she United States. Federal authorities lehrned about the ring through the seizure of the steam er Nantisco off Astoria, Long Islandt last April with 500 cflses of liquor after she had come through the coast guard blockade disguised with luber piled on deck. * Thirty agents put on the case found that the ship had been bought at Gloucester Cit, Va., by an agent of tbe ring for $6,000. Tbe trail then led to Irving Wexler, alias Waxie Gordon, a well known crook, author ities said. Wexler evidently got wind of what was coming and fled to Eu rope with Jiis wife a few days ago in a luxurious state room. Three of Wexler’s lieutenants, how ever, were arrested. The ring is said to have maintained purchasing agents! in Nova Scotia, leased warehouses in I the United States and sold choice liquors to Broadway cases and habi tues. Only 27 pints of whisky were' found in the offices. Records of cus- 1 tomers also were seized. He first tour of an organized ■ baseball dub was made through New York State, iu 1860, by tbe Excel-, siors of Brooklyn. How who always depend on luck will soon have' nothing elw to de pend on. i GENERAL MANAGER OF CO-OPS SPEAKS HERE , U. B. Blalock Makes Address at the Court House This Morning in In - tereat of The Association. i Making a strong appeal for the . business men and tbe manufacturers of i tbe community to join in the Co-op erative Movement, U. B. Blalock, Gen eral Manager of tbe N. C: Co-operative , Association, made a forceful address this morning as the oourt house be fore an audience composed largely of farmers from this county. It was [minted out by Mr. Blalock that tbe manufacturers had much to : gain by supporting such a movement. It was necessary, he declared, for the ■ success of co-operative marketing that both of these clnsses support it. In showing that the manufacturers had much to gain by helping the eo -1 ops, Mr. Blnlock said that after three years' experience in the organisation. ■ lie was of the opinion that they had i more to gain by standardization than i anything else. By standardization, i he referred to a standard grade of : cotton, standard method of ginning and a grading according to govern = ment requirements. Such a unifying would enable the * manufacturers to, have a dependable * grade all the time and would' insure ' that they could get what they wanted. 1 Since the Co-operative Association did t n6t sell any cotton that they did not ’ actually have on hand, said Mr. Bla ■ look, prompt deliveries would be cer ■ tain. The more cotton that was controlled by the Association, the more stable would be the priee. Such rapid de clines that bave been experienced re ’ eently would be in part halted. As , the Co-ops got stronger, fluctuations 1 in the market would be limited. In referring to the Association it ■ self, Mr. Blalock declared that the '■ tone, and morale of the organization ' was better than it had been, before. . especially .was this true in the East. 3 Since it was organized. It lias had to 1 1 I Piedmont Limited, , Trains 33 and 34 L Effective October sth, 1925 r d Southern Railway t C J.
