(With Apologias to Venus of Faith) Kannapolis, Dee. 2.—We have been gaddin about quite a bit lately, Last Tuesday we spent about an hour ia the office of John S. Carpenter, the genial secretary of Cabarrus Y M. C. A. He told us some of the funniest j stories we ever heard. Mr. Carpenter has three personalities: When he i, plain “John Carpenter’’ he is just a, common ornery cuss; when he is j "John S. Carpenter” he is quite a jov ial fellow, but when he is “J. Samp < sou Carpenter” my! my! he its a pol ished gentleman of high degree. | Froffi there .we went over to the Cannon Y'. M. C. A. and visited Mr. Edward Shari>e, the secretary of that institution. We found him in a very friendly moot! and said he was high- Ily honored in having Venus call on him. He told us about making a lius- I iness trip to Imml is last week, lie j had a tine time in spite of the fact that he had two punctures and a blowout. He is planning on taking a I trip to Cook's Crossing the first part of next week. He is very fond of I traveling. We like Mr. Sharpe be cause our cousin Zeb has red hair and he is one of the finest fellows in |lk world and we all love hitu. Then we visited Bert Durham’s meat market and had a fine visit with Bert. Bert is now making a special ty of raising potatoes on his farm. He showed us a potato weighing 9 lbs. 4 ounces. If you can beat that for potatoes trot out your potatoes. Just as we were coming out v,-e met our old friend. Hank Barton, who ask ed us to take a r : de with him to Con cord in his new Ford. Hank used to be in our Sunday School class. In Concord we spent most of our time in the five and ten cent store, buying Christmas presents for our friends. We always like to buy things at the 5 and 10 cent store, for then we know what we are getting. Tom Widenhouse raised seven and a half acres of corn this year and he invited about thirty of hi> friends to a husking spree last Friday The day was spent tin undressing and pulling the huir out of the ears. There was fun galore but the funniest incident was when Walter Yost started to the ham with a load of corn. The old gray horse got scared because sopie of tiie ears were bigger than his own and ran away. No damage was done ex cept the strewing of the corn for about a mile. A fine dinner was served including hard cider. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Lady, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Yost. Dr. and Mrs. Trout man, Mr. and Mrs. C. M. I’owell, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Taylor. Mr. and Mrs. John Halstead. Dr. and Mrs. Parks. Dr. and Mrs. Nolan. Mr. and Mrs. J. Sampson Carpenter, Mr. and Mrs. I>. A. Jolley. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Sharin', Mr. and Mrs. Bert Durham. Mr. and Mrs. Burley Beaver. Dr. Bernard. Jazzy Moor*’ Mrs. Lois Earnhardt, and Venus. The first prize was won by Dr. Ber nard for pulling the jiair ami tindress ing the most ears. The King’s Daughters held a pie soo : al at Mrs. John Halstead’s last Tuesday night. The ladies took dif ferent kinds of pies. Mrs. I’owell i took gooseberry pie because she put up sixty pints last summer and want ed to get rid of them, and Mrs. Cline took a delicious pot pic. A large crowd was present. Mr. R. I{. Alli son won the prize as the champion pie eater. The affair nettl'd the society a handsome sum. Miss Julia Willett is so disappoint ed. She put on her best silk, dross to have her oicture taken to send to her beau and when the picture came it looked just like she had on a gingham dress.

Dec.’2—A preach er's “heart-breaking” story of how he was .duped into taking an automo bile ride with a strange woman, of how he wrecked the machine and now is lying in a hospital with a broken leg, ■ with bin resignation to his varioius churches accepted and waiting to be sued by the woman’s “sweetheart” in* whose machine they took their ill-fated ride, was told last night in a local high school by Rev. J. H. Broom, pastor of ( the Bonlee Baptist Church, and several other churches in that section, says an article in the Winston-Salem Journal. Propped up on two pillows and with a heavy growth of beard, the minister related graphically his tragic story, touching lightly on the slender brunette beauty who lured him into his present predicament. In the afternoon he was iu a hotel in Greensboro und hoard her playing a piano. She played splendid ly, it seemed to him. Some of the pieces were melodies he had henrd in boyhood, some were impetuous marches anil others were rhapsodies which set his pulse leaping and his heart quivering. One selection she finished in it wave of passion. “Play that over again!” he plead ed whimsically. Site smiled and obligingly com plied, Before he knew it he found him self in conversation. She talked easily and without effort. After they had become fairly 'friendly he observed that, it was about time for him to go. ”So must I.” she acknowledged. "YVbere are you going?” To Winston-Salem, he told her. "Oh. that's good ... So am I. Gome along and we'll go together. I have a heavy stock roadster, and will be glad to have you.” Before he knew exactly what he was doing, the preacher, on the spur of Jhe moment, accepted the invita tion. last night he admitted he was convinced lie had made u mistake and that if he had it to do over again he certainly would not. Heading towtird Winston-Salem they found a street, closed. “Why didn't you tell me we couldn't get out this way?” "Because I didn't know," he re plied. She appeared annoyed at the loss of time in finding the right route. "I have a date with a man in Winston-Salem’ at 2 o'clock and I must get there by that time.” minister told newspapermen thut then he realized everything was not quite all right, but rliere was nothing left for him to do but to go through with it. It was 1 o'clock and they had. onlj an hour to get to Winston-Salem. "Oh, I’ll drive some for you if you want me to," he offered, “I used to have a car- of this make- I know it thoroughly.” She had an injured arm, said tlie ministetr, haring just come out of the hospital, and lie felt under obli gation to assist. After traversing a number of miles sho stopped the ''machine and asked him if he would mind taking the wheel. Rev. Air. Broom got out of the ear and walked around, getting in on the driver's side. Everything went smoothly until be drove up be hind a bus. "I never could stand to ride be hind a bus or a Ford,” she objected, with slight irritation. “Well, if that's so,” he consented, "we'll try to pass. But I can’t pass now. There's another ear coming." Immediately after the oncoming ma chine droned by the bus and the ma chine in which Rev. Mr. Broom und the strunge woman who had become so friendly with him were riding, he drove obliquely across the road as lie hung on the hub of tiie bus. step ped on Hie gas and was passing when he felt the rear wheels skid and the sickening impact of their machine against the bus. Realizing their dan ger, he instinctively terms! the steer ing wheel to the left to pull it away from the enormous monsted Os de struction roaring (leafeningly alongside their car. "Tile wheel had too mueh play in it. he told the reporters, running his hands reflectively through his dark shock of hair, and lifting bis head higher from the pillow. "She had told me it didn’t, but it did. * » Anyway, they said afterwards, the cur bit u telephone pole. I don’t remem ber anything about it. I understand the woman pulled on the emergency brake ami jumiied out. Os course, if she did, that left me helpless, i I couldn’t do a thing. She was only slightly injured.” Again with much perplexity and apparent worry he run his fingers through his hair. “As for die woman—well, she came up here last Sunday, walked in, ami after' inquiring bow I was getting along, announced boldly, *bu»ines.s is very good!’ * * I knew then what- I she was.’’ | Kcv.
