WHILE AT WORK IN MILL
Officers Try to Find dames Byers
Who Is Charged With Firing the
Fatal Shot. ✓
Cabarrus county officers with blood
hounds searched for several hours
Monday in an effort to find James
Byers, who fatally wounded Ceif Staf
ford about 2 o'clock Monday after
noon.
Byers and Stafford, both colored,
were "Working in the Franklin Mill
when the homicide occurred, and of
ficers* were told the shooting resulted
from a quarrel which started Monday
morning when Stafford bumped his
beam truck against Byers.
There was no evidence that Staf
ford tried to start tfie quarrel, of
ficer* state, but Byers apparently did
not easily forget the quarrel, for he
is alleged to have gone to his home
at the noon hour for his gun, and
soon after work was resumed in the
liirn to stop his beam truck and when
afternoon he met Stafford again, told
the latter refused to do so, opened tire
on him.
Byers used a .25 calibre pistol and
the first shot he fired entered Staf
ford's ’heart, death resulting almost
instantly. Byers ran from the mill
follbwing the shooting and although
officers could track him to the creek
which runs close to the mill property
they lost all trace of him there.
Bloodhounds from the Jackson
Training School and from Rockwell i
were used by the officers but die doge j
v ere unable to track the negro farther ,
than the creek. As the city sewer |
empties into the creek it was easy j
for the negro to throw the dogs off
by entering the water, officers stated, j
Coroner Joe A. Hart sell held an j
inquest Monday night, the .Jury ex- j
attuning fo\ir eye witnesses to the j
tragedy.
Officers plan to continue the search |
for the negro in this and adjoining!

STATEMENT BY MR. COLLIE
In Regard lo Red Cross Campaign.
Which Opens Here Today.
The following statement was issued
ttday by Howard Collie, chairntaiv of
the Red Cross membership campaign
which opens here today, explaining
the different kinds of membership and
the disposition that is made of the
money :
‘‘There are four types of meniber
shipte." be stated, "involving $25. $lO.
$5. and $1 membership fees. From
each membership only fifty cents goes .
to national headquarters of the Red
Cross to carry on its national and in
ternational work. The rest of the
money remains in the treasury of the
local chapter to finance the work in
the community. Therefore, from a
$25 membership $24.50 is spent lo
cally. while fifty cents goes into the
National Red Cross treasury. Simi- 1
larly. with a SI ineniber*&ip. fifty L
cents goes to national headquarters!
and fifty cents remains for our chap-1
ter. The Red Cross holds no tag j
days. The Roll Call i* its only means j
of support for either the loeal ac- j
tivities of our chapter or for the work 1
of the national organization.”
Tin* details of organization have!
been completed and all plans effected l
for a speedly solicitation of the en
tire community. Red Cross officials
state that prospect> are good for a!
Vecord enrollment, and they confident
ly expect this year's membership to j
la* a substantial increase over tbat of ■
last year.

New Pastor of Concord First Baptist
Church Conducts Service There, j
Durham Herald. /
"Diamonds in the Rough” was the
subject of a very interesting sermon
delivered at the Angier Avenue Bap
tist Church Wednesday evening by
Dr. C. Herman Trueblood. pastor of
the First Baptist Chore rtf Con
cord. who is conducting a two weeks'
series of revival meetings at "She local
church.
'l>r. Trueblood based his discourse
oil the conversion of Simop Peter and
preached a powerful sermon which lie
applied directly to the church mem
bers. The sinner was likened to a
rough diamond which must be dug
out of the, mire and muck ot sin and
brought, into the kindnin where it
may shine for Jesus. The Con
cord minister gave some good advice J
tM church members relative to soul j
winning and how they should go
about winning lost souls to Christ.
A Bible reading campaign is being
waged throughout this revival spries.
Each evening a report is taken in or
der to ascertain just how many versos
of scripture have been read the pre
ceding day. So far. more than 10,-
000 verses of scripture have been re
ported 2,000 of these being reported
last night.
Services are being held at the local
church each evening at 7:30 o’clock,
and much gratification is being ex
| pressed by the large crowds in at
j tendance at the strong messages
! which Dr. Trueblood is bringing.
1 Good results have been obtained
; during this meeting, mere than 35
I additions having been made to the

Famous Band Director to Be Seen
Here.
By the Press Agent,
j When Murdoch J. MacDonald
[swings his baton as a sigual for his
f MacDonald Highlanders’ band to “be
on their toes,” the audience that will
assemble at the Concord 'Floatre on
Friday. November 18tb. will be trunt

with the duties of a band director,

! If is marvelous to listen to this

i the heaviest of overtures, operas and

laddies, calling for additional instru

the number that Mr. MacDonald and
his Highlanders present with his com
pany of twenty musicians.
This popular band leader lias won
a name fdr himself as being the
smoothest an deasiest going band lead

| no unnecessary gestures iu the person
of Mr. MacDonald when he is direct

Possessing a personality that is

known by his friends, "and that is.

concert I have in mind the fact that

Mystery in Butterflies’ Trek
from Tropics to Arctic
Each year swarms of butterflies,
known as “painted lsdiesi” are seen
Crossing the sea from France to Eng
land on a 4,000-mile journey from I
! rmrthern Africa to Iceland. How
‘ tfley find their way and how fresh
broods appear yearly, although the
butterflies never have been seen trav
eling back from the north, are mys
teries. It has been suggested that
they return in swartps at night or fly
back alone as individuals, thus escap
ing notice, but there is no evidence
of this. Another curious feature of
the migration is that the butterflies
which begin the flight probably are
not the same that reach the northern
destination for eggs are laid on the
way, these hatch into caterpillars and
become butterflies that move, an to
ward the north, maintaining n aort of
1 relay race. They arrive in France in

England, and, still heading north

Switching Battery from Set"~
to Charger
Everyone knows that, a storage
battery should be kept as completely
charged as possible ; to make sure!
this is done, it is necessary that
simple and convenient means be
used to change the battery from the
set to the charger am} back again. A
simple double-throw, double-pole
switch is commonly used for this pur
pose, but is not altogether satisfac
tory, as it is unsightly, and unsafe on
account of shorts. A closed snap
swjtch does not answer either, as it
is not rugged enough and may be
accidentally thrown. An ideal ar
rangement can be made by fastening
two sockets to a block as shown imthe
