WOODMEN REST ROOM T
" AT CABARRUS FAIR
Proved of Great Benefit to Many.—
Faggart Wine Guessing Oantoet.
One of the special features at the
big Cabarrus County Fair last p week
was the Woodmen and Woodmen Cir
cle rest room operated by these two
societies and in charge of District
Manager .J. Milton Todd, of Char
lotte and Mrs. Elisabeth Griffin, spec
ial field worker for the Circle, of Char
lotte. Hundreds' of members and
friends made the rest room a visit
and were given a welcome and real
comfort in the way of chairs, cots and
beds for the children. In all it was a
great'help to the visitors duijng the
week. ,
District Manager Todd operated a
guessing contest during the week, clos
ing it at 0 o’clock Friday night. The
.contest was a guess by hundreds as
to the number of Woodmen of the
World coins contained in a fruit jar
and the prise was a two dollar and a
half gold piece which was won .by A.
M. Faggart, of Elm Camp No. 16,
Concord, his guess beeing the exact;
number whjch was 666. The ladles;
in charge of the room enjoyed the lit-j
tie contest very much and the 101--
lowing are the ten closest to the cor
rect number:
R. L. Barnett, Route 24, Davidson,
650; J.-H. Faulkenbury. Route 4,
Concord, -680; R. .M. Wilsop, Rose

/Salisbury, 650; Hardhl Vn.vvault, 260

A Choke Spirit Takes Its Flight.
The UlflHt.
Scores of hundreds, who knew her.
inr-Charlotte. Concord, and elsewhere
in North Carolina, mourn tttp pass
ing Os Mrs. E. C. Register, who,
while -On a visit to her. sister. Mrs.
John B. Sherrill, of Concord, was
stricken with paralysis Saturday
morning last, dying without regain
ing consciousness.
Sirs. LaVinia Montmagery ’Register,
daughter of the late Judge W. -J.
Montgomery, was one of the most i
popular jvomen the state ever pro- ‘
duced. Her popularity was not predi- ]
cated on ability around the card Jtfcle i
or doing spectacular society stunftTor
paying court to the frivolities that oe-,
cupy too much precious time of many,
a matron, but it had its fountain
a golden heart. The most democrat-- ,
ic woman 3 ever knew was Mrs. Reg- a
is.tar—by birth, inheritance and native J
ability She cotildfaud did grace a se,‘J
Wet world, but this did not suffice 1
to make her satisfied. SUP sougfit |
a life of usefulness, and there are j
thousands'who attest her thougbful-. i
ness, her cheery disposition and her
helpfulness. Go ask the Confederate /
soldier; the Old Ladles Home, the 1
orphanage, the crippled and maimed. |
Ask the agencies in social, civic and ‘
religions activities. Her record along !
along these Hues makes a beautiful i
atary of a- heart,««!• soul ittuned. to
WJble service.
This demoeratic woman moved
among folks of all classes—she lived
in a practical acceptation of the
brotherhood of man. The suffering, i
the - maimed and halted engaged her ]
kindly offices. No proposition that i
looked to the betterment of conditions
or the community failed to receive the
benefit of 'her enthusiastic espousal
and her effective support. Her cor
diality and utter freedom of snobbery
and conceit won for her the loving
title of “Sister Register,” and" she,
in turn, recognized "brothers” on ev
ery hand.
She’s gone. Who will take her
place in the land to brighten life, to ■
dispense sunshine in sorrowing and 1
suffering hearts and with a purpose |
set to a life of service to her fellow- ,
man? 3Jhis golden-hearted and charm
ing personality was ts King’s Daugh
ter long before that order came into
existence. / '

KANNAPOLIS BOY
KILLED IN ACCIDENT
- J«-
Overman Racy Dead as Result of
Cotthton and Other Members of
Party Hart. !
Overman Rary, 17-year-old empio.vi
of the Cannon Manufacturing plant
at Kannapolis, was almost instantly
killed Sunday afternoon about four
miles from Salisbury on ths Salis
bu/y-Concord highway when a Char
lotte car, filled wRh negroes, ran into
the car in which he was riding, in
juring his skull so that he died be
fore he could be taken to a hos
pital.
The negroes are alleged to have
made their, escape immediately on
learning of the seriousness of the ae
cidfnt and their identity bad not been
learned this morning.
J. F. Dayvault, O. A. Swaringen,
J. L. Petrea and Joe Green, all of
Concord, and Solicitor Zez Long, all
whom were coming to Concord, stop
ped at the scene of the accident soon
after it happened.
They found the boy practically
scalped where he hit some part of
the automobile and, the otilers not so
seriously injured. Tying up his head
aB best they could,,they sent him back
to Salisbury with Charlie Propst, who
happened to come by at that time.
The other injured persons in the car.
his two brothers and his brothpr-in
law, were also sent to Salisbury for
treatment. The young man died be
fore reaching the hospital. j
Just how the accident happened
has not been made clear Rut as it
happened on the narrow tar road, it
is tßvught that both cars were held
on the road which was too narrow for
them to pass. The car driven by the
negroes was said to be a Cadillac,
from a “for hire” place in Char
lotte.

Chatham county arrived here tonight
from Pitts boro jvith two negroes and
placed them in Gutifoed county jail
for safekeeping. The blacks are ac
cused of whipping a whiff’ man.
3. M. Ragland was the victim.
Some time ago he testified in court
against an alleged manufacturer of
whiskey, Fon Burke, and Burke is
alleged to have gone to the negroes,
named Duck Degacenreid and Will
Farris, and taken them to Ragland’s
home and had them to give ttie man
a severe lashing last night. Ragland’s
home is near Pittsboro.
Burke was arrested also, and placed
in jail at Pittsboro.
Assault charges have been made
against Burke and the two negroes.
There w r as not any mov formed at
Pittsboro, but feeling seemed rather
high and it wag thought best to bring
the men here. Sheriff D. B. Staf
ford, of Guilford county, does not look
for any trouble.
Radium Production Increases.
The Pathfinder.
The fast growing radium industry
in the Belgian Congo is expected to re
duce the price of this precious ele
ment. - Dadium now sells in Belgium
at 1,000,000,000 francs a gram. . This
is more than SOO,OOO. There is a
tendency now. however, for the price
to drop owing to the discovery of fur
ther radium-producing deposits in
Africa. It is estimated that 150 of
the 310 grams of radium now in ex-
I istence were produced by the Belgian
Oongo.\ The medical profession hopes
that there will be a time in the near
futre when the -price of radium will
be sufficiently low to make it available
for use in all hospitals.
Alcohol From Bread. t
An Italian engineer and chemist,
working in Germany, has discovered!
a process of obtainihg alcohol from
bread. Through application of this
method fermenting bread dough can he
made to yield 75 per cent, of alcdhoi.
The alcohol is obtained from the fumes
from the bread during the
process of baking. \

Chat, With
I: Your Gas Man
( | Customers sometimes ask us: jj <

‘ | gas so much higher in summer |
f | time than it is during the cold | i
i | winter weather?” They seem !
J 8 to think that gas like every- ■■

[ ! The fact is that the heating j
t. ; value of gas is actually high- j
1 | er during cold weather than it |
