Extension Os Lines Os
P. & N. May Miss This
City By Several Miles
ROUTE VIA POPLAR
TENT CONSIDERED
Officials of the Company
Unwilling to Pay Prices
Demanded Now for the
Right of Ways.
* SURVEY MADE OF
THE NEW ROUTE
Land Owners In Some In
stances Are Demanding
Thousand Dollars Acre
For Their Property.
Concord : s threatened with' exclus
ion from the new line of the Pied
mont & Northern Railway. This be
came known Tuesday lyhen officials
of the company came here to confer
with officials of the Chamber of Com
merce who have been working for the
past six months to Ret the extension
of the system from Charlotte to Win
ston-Salem via Conbord.
' The line is to be built. Chamber* of
Commerce officials have been .assured,
but it wifi not touch Concord unles
come landowners in the county are
....convinced that the railway eompany
will not pay, the price they are de
manding for their real estate.
The matter, now rests with these
landowners. They can bring the line
to Concord by offering right of ways
for reasonable sums, or - they pan force
the I*. & N. officials to build their line
through the Poplar Teat neighborhood
by demanding a thousand dollars an !
acre for their lands as they are noV
doing.
It has been learned on good author
ity that the interurbau company now
has its surveyors at work on a line
going direct from Charlotte to Kan
napolis-via Poplar Tent, and this
line will be used unless owners pf the
property along the route from Char
lotte to Concord are willing to make
. eoueession.4.
It has also been learned on author
ity that cannot be questioned that the
line via Poplar Tent would cost less
than the line via Concord, and for
that reason P. & X. officials are in
clined to adopt it. However, at the in
sistence of local citizens, headed by
Chamber of Commerce officials, they
have held the-matter open so that an
effort can be made to secure the right
of ways through Coneortl at reason- 1
able prices.
“The P. &X. is not going. to pay a
thousand dollars an acre for right of (
ways," one Chamber of Commerce of
ficial stated in discusieng the matter. |
"and it is up to the citizens of Oon- !
cord who want to see tlfe line brought
here to persuade property owners to
give the : r land at a cheaper rate. Con
cord is vitally interested in this prop
osition. It means much to the busi
ness interests of the eity, blit we are
goiifg to lose it unless we can get the
co-operation of every one.
"Lack of co-operation has always ]
been a handicap to Concord. The,
growth of the city has been hampered!
by men wbo have been unwilling t?k
make concessions for the common good. I
Surely, in this instance, we are not i
going to let this proposition fall
through because of selfishness."
One official of the P. & X. who was
in Coneotd this week, told Chamber
of Commerce officials that in many
instances property owners had given
the right of way through their lands.
They asked nothing, it was pointed
out, realising that the building- of the
line through their land would increase
its value, and at the same time would
serve to build up the entire section
served by the line.
This official also told Chamber of
Commerce 'officials that several land
owners on the route via Poplar Tent
were so anxious to get the line that
• they had voluntarily offered free right
of ways. Some of these land owners
live in Mecklenburg and some in
Cabarrus, it was said. In no instance,
it was said, had property owners along
this route demanded anything like a
thousand dollars ap acre for their
land. ~
One business man of Concord who
has been untiring in his efforts to get
the line through this city, said it
"seems' to me we should have learned

our lesson from Knnnapolis." ‘
"Kannapolis would be n port o’
Concord today if property ownet-< had
not tried to get unreasonable prices
for their property when the late James
\V. Cannon sought a site for new
mills," he said. "We nil realize now
the great loss that came to Concord
when Mr. Cennon was* forced to sock
property elsewhere. Laud owners
here then nppaijfntly thought Mr.
Cannon had to build here. He show
ed them that lie did not.
"The P. & N. officials are going to
show us 'the same thing unless we co
operate with them in-getting right of
ways. They are not going to be ‘held
up' because they have unlimited re
sources. It will be a distinct reflec
tion on Concord if wc force the P.
& X. to come no nearer to Concord
thau Poplar Tent, which is about
six miles from the city.”
Dr. T. X. Spencer, president, and
other Chamber of Commerce officials
•are redoubling their efforts now to
get the line for Concord, Individ
uals who arc not officers of the Cham
ber hut who want to see Concord grow
and prosper, have volunteered to con
fer with property owners who are de
manding what is described as “unrea
sonable prices,” with the hape that
they can assist in straightening out
the problem that confronts the eity.
The problem is n real one and un
less it is settled in the near future
Coneortl persons de-iring to ride the
P. & / X. or ship freight mid express
over it, will hnve to go to Poplar

POLES TALK OF HAVING KING;
HENRY FORD IS MENTIONED
Others Would Offer Throne to Duke
of York or Some Other Member of
Rlitish Royalty,
Home, Oct. 21.—According to some
l\)!isti politicians who ha,vo been pass
ing through Italy, the Poles find their
republic a heavy burden and are seri
ously thinking of finding a\king. As
usual with Poland, opinions are di
vided as to the kind of-king to seek.
One sect ion of the Nee-Monarchists
wants the Duke of York, or at any
rate, a member of tile British royal
family.
"The other, 'however, is in favor of
an Ameriean business man. Henyy
Ford has been seriously talked of as
suitab'e. His supporters point out
that he would still be able to carry
on his vast automobile business, .as
his presence would not be needed for
every month in the year. And even
,if he retired from car making, lie
could well afford to do it: the honor
of kingship would make lip for any
pecuniary sacrifices.
The Fordites say t'hat Poland is in
stieh a bady way financially that only
a genuis in business can pull her out
of the muddle.

Say Ocean Is Breaking Through East

Kinston, Oct. 20. —Old residents
along the const say the fate scientists
have predicted for the “banks” of
North Carolina is gradually coming
to pass. Geologists have predicted
that within a few generations the
ocean will break through the strip
of beach separating the sounds from
the sea. This is hundreds of miles
long, I«#H than n mile in width at
places, and is already broken by a
number of inlets. Today persons here
from the coast said old-timers claimed
to have, noticed considerable wash
out*, occurring in a few year's time,
south' of Portsmouth and elsewhere.
Animals eating the grass and brush
from the banks are blamed. With
out vegetation to support it, the beach
is washing away. An island near
Ocracoke has lost a third cf its area
within five years. Sheep and rab
bits quartered on the island were re
sponsible.

Arab Says “Needle’s Eye” of Bible
Refers to Wall Gate.
1 Pittsburgh, Kan., Oct. 21 — UP)—
The “needel’s eye” referred to in t’u'e
New Testament is a small gate in the'
Wall of Jerusalem, not a . sewing
needle, at least in the opinion of Job
N’egiem, 23-year-old Arab guide in the
Holy Land, who is studying music at
the Pittsburgh State Teachers Col
lege.
The Biblical passage to which th's
modern Job has adduced a new mean
ing is in Mark 10.-25, wherein Jesus
chided those wlyo “trust in riches,”
saying: “It is easier for a camel to
go through the ejukof a needle, than
for a rich man to enter the kingdom
of heaven.” ,
“The needle's -eye,” says Xegiem,
“commonly misundnerstood as the eye
of a sewing needle, is known to Jeru
salem as a small gate within a larger
gate in the city walls. It is for the
use of pedestrians after the larger
gate is closed for protection. The
gate is eo low that an average-sized
man must stoop low to go through
it.”
