NEW ATHLETIC FIELD
READY FOR USE FRIDAY
Gastonia Game Will Be First Played
on Remodeled Ground.—Cost Over
$1,500.
Friday’s game of football between
I the locals and Gastonia will mark the
opening of Concord’s remodeled ath-1
letie field at the high school, Al-*
though no christening ceremonies have I
been planned, it is probable that the[
players will do .their bit toward mak
ing a suitable opening.
The field is now a real A-I ground.
Last year, the first time it had been
put to such use, it was one of the
best in this section of the state. A
naturally hard soil with a fine sand
covering and- excellent drainage insur
ing a dry ground, all contributed to
its above-par condition. "
| There/were some few objections
which Jmve been removed and it is
now 'easily an outstanding field in
high schools of the state.
Running, as it does, adjacent to
Academy street, there was always the
difficulty of collecting money from
spectators. They could step off the
street on field. A cyclone
fence, of the type used for mills and
other manufacturing plants, has been
erected. The fence is string its steel
posts having been placed in concrete
foundations. On top is a protecting
projection of barbed wire to keep off
climbers.
Then too the field has been enlarged.
The hill leading up to the high school
building has been cut back for a dis
tance of almost forty feet giving
plenty of space for a baseball diamond
in the same location it was last year. |
The fence does not run at the foot
of the hill but is placed a short dis
tance up the bill which will mean that
aspiring home run hitters will have to
shoot hard to get one over.
Wide gates will make sufficient en
trance and egress for spectators at the
games. A higher fence at the back
of home plate will allow fewer foul
balls to find a resting place in the !
branch than is customarily the case.
The fence, which is the most ex
pensive item in the newly constructed
field, was purchased at a cost of over
$1,500. It was decided at tile Au
gust meeting of the school board to
erect this fence and work was rushed
to completion.
Although no grandstand will be .
constructed in the immediate future,
plans are underway to build one to j
accommodate spectators next year. |
‘Members of the school board declare
that in several year's time. Concord !'
may boast of as good a field as is jj
found at any place in North Caro- :i
lina.
LOCAL HARDWARE STORE
HAS INTERESTING WINDOW
Stuffed Birds and Animals Make the
Rilcliic-Caldwell's Display Unique. ,
—Pheasant Featured.
One of the most interesting window j
displays which has been seen in Con- i
cord recently is that shown at present 1
in tlie Uitctfie-Caidwell Hardware ! ( I
Store, featuring a number of stuffed ji I
birds and animats.
The scene depicted is a woodland 5
.picture with birds and animals ar- 9
variged in positions very !rii>~ TO* life. X
■the floor of the window is covered Q
with leaves. Playing under an oak .0
sapling is a rabbit, the cottontail half X
covered with leaves and evidently hid
ing from nearby dogs. In another ®
corner of the "W indow is a small covey
of quail, seemingly in the act of feed- 0
ins- j
In the center of the stage, occupy- j 1
ing the position of honor, is a ring
necked pheasant, a bird of. brilliant i
plumage. Around its neck is the J
ring of green and purple feathers |
while the general color of its body 1
is a sort of golden brown. Its tail j
is sweeping, with graceful curves at ,i
the end of the feathers.
This bird, according to M. F. Rit- | (
chie, was killed in Pennsylvania. Al- |i
though a very beautiful creature, it jj
drives out other birds and for that :
reason is little desired iu any sectiou m
by sportsmen. jj
In the oak tree are two squirrels i
while on the stumps beneath are a j 1
hoot owl and a hawk. The persim- ,
men tree has its opossum, as would :i
be expected. A dove is alsq perched j
high on one of the twigs of the oak (
tree. ■ j<
Mr. Ritchie'H first gun. a battered jj
muzzle loader, is lying in the window
alongside some of the newer guns jj
placed there for advertising purposes.
All the birds and animals in the i
window were stuffed for Mr. Ritchie j
by R. L. Patterson, of China Grove. ,

Kannapolis Youth, Killed Sunday in i

Preliminary Hearing.
Funeral services for Overman Uary, i
17-year-old Kannaiiolis youth, who 1
was killed Sunday when motoring on (
the Coneord-Salisbur.v road, were held i
Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock at j
a church in Rowan county near Sal- ,

A negro named. Townsend is held j
in connection with his death, it being i

being the driver of the Cadillac Which j
struck the car in which ltnry was rid- I
ing. A preliminary hearing of the 1
case will lbe held Thursday in Salis- ,
bury, Tewusend being held for this. i
According to reports in Kannapolis, j
the negro declared that he was driv- ,
ing for a wijte man from. Charlotte i
whose identity was unknown. The j
white man lias not been caught. i
Although the racing season in the <
North is drawing to a close, there will 1
be no letup iu the sport during the j
Winter months. Florida, where the -
■sport was introduced on a first-class j
basis last year plans an even more ,
ambitious program for the coining 1
winter, while extensive preparations j
are being made tor the customary i

EDUCATIONAL DAY AT
THE COLORED FAIR
Splendid Address by Dr. N. S. Harris,
Pastor A. E. Zion Chimb <•*
Dr. N. 8. Harris, pastor of the Zion
Hill A. M- E. Zion Church, delivered
a masterful address at the Fair
I Ground^/Tuesday afternoon at one
l o’clock/ '**’
I The occasion was the opening day
J of the third. Annual Fair of the Color
ed Fair Association of Cabarrus Coun
ty. The address was indeed a master
piece, timely, instructive and inspir
ing to the hundreds of negro youths
holding prominent seats in the grand
stand as guests of the association.
Frequent applauses and “Arneas” were
heard from the audience who gave as
sent to the -speaker’s views as he pro
ceeded.
Selecting as his subject “Educa
tion Our Economic Salvation,” I)r.
Harris discussed it under the follow
ing "topics”: Instructive, Speculative,
Operative and Moral Education.
The speaker emphasized the need
of the Negro to think out a plan or
proposition before .acting. “Adtimi
without forethought is like ail un
trained horse rushing into a furious
battle wrthout a rein to guide him."
“Civilization fH the outcome of edu
catiton, whose zenith is enlighten
went.” The speaker then called at
tention among other things to the im
portance of the elementary schools
and the large appropriations made by
tlie state for Negro education. He
would have the colored people . take
advantage of educational opportuni
ties. He saw. further, the need of
[better rural schools, longer /tern*,
