COUNTY HIGHWAY FORCES
BUSY SMOOTHING ROADS
Wet Weather Gives First Opportun
ity to Drag Roads Roughened Dur
ing Drought.
All equipment of the Cabarrus
county, road forces is busy today drag
ing Ihe roads in an effort to smooth
out the buinpg which were made dur
ing the dry Weather this summer and
which could not be eliminated until
wet weather softened the road bed.
Drags are being used on all roads pos
sible. Especially is this true, ac
cording to W. G. Brown, county en
gineer. in regard to new roads. It
was impossible, says Mr. Brown, to 1
do any smoothing of newly construct
ed highways when the drought con
'tinqed and, for that reason, many of
them have never had this necessary
operation performed.
Only one road project is being
worked at present, it is said, which is
the link between Watt's crossroads
and Gold Hill. As soon as this is
completed, the road forces of' the
county will go into winter quarters.

FIRE IN MT. PLEASANT
THREATENS TOWN FOR TIME
Originated in Audßorium From a
Poorly Put Up Stove.—Concord
Truck Called to die Scene.
A fire in the auditorium, which for
a jime threatened the entire business
section of Mt. Pleasant late Saturday
afternoon, was extinguished by a
quickly organized bucket brigade be
fore any great damage was done.
Although one of the local fire trucks
was called to the scene, it was of little
use, the flames having been extin
guished before it arrived.
: The blaze started in the auditorium
I which is direhtly above Cook and
Foil’s store. ' A lyceum number was
to have been staged there on Satur
day night and on Saturday afternoon
a stove was brought up and a stove
pipe erected. Shortly thereafter a
fire was built in the stove and the per
son making it left, thinking every
thing safe.
Some time later, it is thought that
the stove, which had been put up in
securely, fell and started the fire. As
there was no one in the building at
the time, (he flames gained headway
unnoticed and it was not until clerks
in Cook and Foil’s store noted the
fire cowing through the ceiling, that
It was known that the building was
ablaze.
An alarm was hastily turned in and
thW work of the bucket brigade began,
soon having the fire under control.
Laffr, it Was discovered that the part
between the ceiling of the auditorium
and the roof was burning and it was
found necessary to cut holes in the
roof to put this out.
The lyceum number had to be given
in the Semina.v auditorium following
the series of blazes in the auditorium
uptown.
It is thought that the damage to'
the building will not exceed several
hundred dollars.
“A SON OF JUS FATHER"
HAS A CAPITAL CAST
Bessie Love, Warper Baxter and
Raymond Hatton Featured in New
Film.
“A Son of His Father,” Harold
Bell IVright’s first novel to be pro
duced as a Paramount picture—a
Victor Fleming production which
opens a two-days rim today at the
Star Theatre, has a capital t-ast of
principal players.
Bessie Love, Warner Baxter and
Raymond Hatton are featured in the ;
leading roles of the production, which ;
was Written for the screen by An- I
thpny Coldewey.
In “A Son of His Father,” Bessie ;
Love, in the role of the Irish miss,
Nora O'Skeaii. who, after the death of j
her mother, journeys to Tucson, Ari- j
zona, to live with her brother on a !
ranch, plays a part superior to any- j
tiling she has ever done before. It |
was in this type of role that Miss j
Love made her first appearance. Ac- |
cording to advance reports you'lll fall j j
in love with Love in this picture.
'Warner Baxter appears for the first
tipie in a western role,in this pii-tu,re. j
Npt, however,, in a wild aud wooly
cowboy role, but rather as a west- ]
terner really is.
Raymond Hatton—you remember
him in “Adventure" and “In the ]
Name of Love”?—as Baxter’s college I
chum, Charlie Grey from Philadel
phia, has a part of unusual import- |
anee—a part that enables him to be i
even funnier than the fas found him
in either of the two aforementioned
pictures. ,
Waller McGrail stands out at tbe 1
head of the strong supporting cast in ]
a more or less “heavy” role. Charles I
Stevens. Carl Stockdale, Billy Eu- ]
gene, Valentina Zemlua and George
Kuwn all have true-to-type roles.\
It was Victor Fleming who direct
ed (lie first Zanc Grey-Paramount
production, "To. the Last Man.” You 1
know what he did with that! Now
set* how he has handled Harold Bell
Wright’s latest and finest story of the
ever-changing _\vest.
ALLEGED “DOPER” CAUGHT
IN CLINE’S PHARMACY
J. F. Spratt Held After He Is Al- !
leged to Have Entered Medicine 1
Cabinet In Drag Store.
J. F. Spratt, who is said to have
been living in Concord for several
months, was arrested in Cline’s Phar
macy Sunday afternoon about 5 1
o’clock after he is alleged to have \
opened a medicine cabinet and taken
some medicine. He was detected by
Hiram Catcn, .Tr„ an employe of the
pharmacy, who held him until police
officers were notified.
Spratt is believed to have been seek- !
ing drugs, but the cabinet lie opened
contained nothing in the drug line.
The cabinet was not locked, it was
reported. but Spratt apparently
thought it was for he pried open the
door with a long, rusty spike.
According to employes of the phar
macy Spratt entered the store one
night last week and on some pretext
went to the rear of thq store. After J
his departure employes saw that the i
medicine cabinet door was partially 1
opened, but nothing was missing. ]
When Spratt entered the store I
again Sunday afternoon Caton lie- ]
came suspicious and watched him \
through a hole in the partition which i
separated the front aud rear of the 1
store. Wlien Caton saw the man J
reach in she cabinet he slipped around 1 i
the partition and seized him. j
Police officers reported this morning i
that Spratt was arrested here one day 1
last week wlien lie appeared ill a
drunken condition on the streebs.
However, after his arrest no liquor
could be foujnd on his person aud no
liquor odor was detected on his breath.
It wgs presumed by tlie officers then
that he had been “doping.” Tbe same
zipike lie bad when arrested Sunday,,
was fotipd on bis person, along wltji
a small claw-hammer.
Spratt will be tried for larceny.

, MBS. LILLIAN DUKE
*» DIES fr N. Y. HOME
First Wife of Late Junes B. Duke
Succumbs to Cerebral Hemorrhages.
i New York, Oct. 25.—Mrs. Lillian
N. Duke, who was divorced twenty
years ago by the late tobacco mag
nate, James B. Duke, died late last
night in her music studio on West
Eighty-Eighth street. She has been
unconscious since October 22nd, when
she suffered two cerebral hem
orrhages.
Since the death of her former hus
band on October 10th, Mrs. Duke had
been greatly depressed, according to
her attorney. Miss Lillian Pugh, who
said Mrs. Duke’s condition was un-!
doubtedly complicated by lack of food.
She had refused to accept loans fromj
friends, her attorney said.
The tobacco man's first wife died:
in penury, although twenty years ago
she was. mistress of a fortune then!
, estimated at $100,000,000. At the
time Mrs. Duke presided over her
husband’s mansion in New York and
: Newport ♦ in recent years she had
i been reduced to giving music lessons
to a handful of pupils. She had
studied at one time under Jean De
Ilteszke.
Miss Pugh said Mr. Duke knew of
his former wife's financial difficul
ties before his death. In his will,
filed for probate on October 23rd, he
made no provision for her, but left
the bulk of his estate, now estimated
hi $150,000,000* to his second wife,
Mrs. Nanaline H. Duke, and to their
daughter, Doris.
Watched Procession.
Mrs. Lillian Duke stood on a knoll
in Central Park and watched, with
| tears streaming down her cheeks’ the
' funeral procession of her former Jius
band on its way down Fifth Avenue.
She had several fainting spells af
ter returning to her studio, but con
tinued to give music lessons for sev
eral days without regard for her con
dition. One of her few remaining
pupils found her after the first hem
orrhage and called a physician and
obtained some food. After the second
hemorrhage, Mrs, Duke became com
pletely paralyzed on the left side and
lapsed into a coma.
Before marrying Mr. Duke in
Camden, N. J., in 1904, She was Mrs.
William E. McCreedy. wife of a New
York broker, by whom she was di-
vorced.
. A year after their marriage, Mr. 1
Duke brought suit for divorce, nam- |
ing ag co-respondent Major Frdnk T. ]
Huntoon, a former officer in the Old j
Guard and head of a mineral water j
concent - ‘
It was said at the time the divorce j
was granted that Mr. Duke made a ]
settlement on her’ of $500,000, but J
Miss Pugh recently denied that Mrs. 1
Duke received any sum from the to- ]
baeco man after the divorce.
| Three years ago Alfred E. Lind- ]
say, a broker, was sent to Sing Sing j
prison so» swindling Mrs. Duke of |
$325,00Q in cash and $50,000 in jew- I
elry. J
' Mrs. Duke brought suit last May j
to have her former husband’s divorce j
j invalidated on the grounds that at
! the time she had refused to recognize
j the New Jersey courts. Her applica
| tion was denied. Miss Pugh said ,
J Mrs. Duke Has about to file an ap
peal. N
Girl Indicts Wils Oats Type of Young
Man.
Editor New York Mirror: X have
read the letty by “Sophisticated" in
which she states that the modern girl
receives proposals sooner than the
home loving type. I have not yet !
met a clean, wholesome modern young
man. The fellows nowadays don’t
want a steady girl. All they want
is one that will sow wild oats with
them. I have never seen a man
lead a girl to the altar after she had
sown her wild oats with him. No,
there isn’t a fellow that will do this,
but they are all too ready to help
lier sow her wild oats.
