I CONCORD STORES ARE IN
READINESS FOR CHRISTMAS
Shots at City Filled to Overflow!**
With Gifts Which Range From
Staple to Moat Costly.
With Christmas less than two weeks
Off, the stores in the city of Concord
, are in full blaze of glory (or the Yule
, tide Season. In particular are the
windows in the city attractive hi their
| display of goods suitahle for gifts at
this time.
Every shop, from the smallest to
• the-largest, has made preparation this
> year for one of the best year’s trade in
i some time. From hardware to gro
cery, from clothing to stationery, every
store is prepared for business.
; The added attractiveness of the
windows is shown by the manner in
- which the children, on their way home,
from school, gaze in through the plate
glass at the articles on display Inside.'
As far afil the children are eoneern
! ed, the toy and grocery stores hold
chief Interest. They watch with un
divided interest the manner in which
the moving toys operate. A train, or
some moving animals, or anything
which has some device to cause it to
run or waggle always brings a crowd
. of open-eyed youngsters.
The children are not the only inter
ested spectators in watching the toys.
Grown-ups regard these “new fangled”
‘ contrivances wistfully and recall the
\ days when they played with th.e few
toys which Santa had brought and
had the most glorious experiences.
.Grocery stores have also become cen
ters of interest, showing luscious
fruits and tempting nuts, together
with the other foods which are a part
of the holidays. On their way home
from school, the boys and girls often
stand and select their part of what
fruits they wish. A few of the more
fortunate, with some loose change, are
the envy of their playmates when
they are able to make purchases.
Other stores are not lagging behind
the toy and grocery stores. The jew
elry shops, for instance, have out in
their windows beautiful watches and
bracelets, handsome toilet sets, and
the little novelties which, are calculat
ed to catch the eye of the love-sick
swain.
I Clothing stores are urging that “sen
sible gifts” be presented this year,
and to back their offer
clothing iu most attractive boxes and
in most' attractive cases. Men are
urged to get their wives stockings,
hand made scarfs or one of the dozen
other things. Women are told that
all the men wish for their Christmas
is a box of seeks, in curious weaves
especially for the holiday trade, or a
necktie or handkerchiefs.
'Oien there are the five and ten cent
stores, with their windows tilled to ov-,
ertiowing with the thousand and one
little things. Or, there are the furni
ture stores, presenting for purchase the
eostly suite of furniture or the less
costly- lamp and odd piece. The drug
stores have stacks of candies for the
the boys to give the girls and are
featuring perfumery ns the kind of
gift most appreciated.
Hardware stores have wagous and
bicycles, silver and tools, they too ary*
advocating useful gif(s.
AlVin all, the stores in Concord ate
well equipped to do the work of sup
plying the people of the city with
gifts for the holidays.
COLDER WEATHER FOR
' CITY IS PREDICTED
Concord Will Likely FeCl Effects of
Snow Storm That Has Swept West
ern States.
Weather forecasts call for colder
weather in Concord during the week,
1 beginning taday. It is predicted that
the lower temperatures here will come
as a result of the snow storm that
swept over several western states, in
many instances reuslting in tile heavi
est snow fall of the present winter.
A steady rain/fell in Concord for
several hours Monday, halting late in
the afternoon. Again" this morning
u light rain fell, but temperatures
dropped decidedly during the day, with
more prospects of snow than rain late
in the day.
Local merchants have welcomed the
eolder weather. It is hard to sell
winter goods when there is little win
ter weather and with the coming of
the cold snap they expect an increase
in the sale of seasonable goods.
Many local persons have been heard
to remark that they hope the western
part of rite state will be visited by
either a heavy snow or rain this week.
This hope arises as a result of a rumor
here that the Southern Power Co.
may have to curtail its power pro
gram again unless there is an appre
ciable fail of water in the western
1 part of the state. Conditions in the
; Bridgewater plant of the power eorn
i pany have never resumed normalcy
following the summer's drought, it is
said, aivl with little rain recently, it
was feared she power company would
; find it necessary to halt operations in
1 local textile plants more than one day
a week. •
The making Qf the rubber cushions
• of billiard tables is a matter of the

t the factory front the Amazon iu
large blocks, the rubber is first cut

going through a washing mill that
at the same time grinds out all the

IH6 CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
RAT CONQUERS SNAKE
I IN CAGED FIGHT HERE
I Rodent, Although Struck Three Theta
i By Snake, Proved Best Fighter In
Week’s Battle.
i Ip a fight for their lives, staged in
I a cage here in the Di** Case, a rat
• and a rattlesnake locked horns for a
s week and today the rat is victor.
• Contentedly this morning he was
: munching on the rattles of the snake,
which died Monday after a week’s on
i slaught by a varmint generally agreed
t no match for him.
t The rattle/ was brought to Con
■ cord about three weeks ago after be
• ing caught near Hickory. He was
placed in the eage in the case where
> life was pleasant enough until I. B.
i Morris, owner of the case, decided to
s. see what chance a rat would have
i, with him. He decided to make the
test after reading in the newspapers
■ where a rat had conquered a snake.
i The rat was no sooner in the cage.
■ Mr. Morris stated, that the snake
i struck him. causing the rodent to cry
■ ont with all the strength of a tiny
; mouth. The rat answered the chal
-1 lenge by biting the snake on his rat-
I tiers, and in turn the snake again
struck the rat.
Soon after, the snake got the rat
• in his mouth and all hut succeeded
in swallowing it. Never giving up
1 the fight, the rat squirmed and twist
-1 ed uijtil freed and then hinged at the
i head of thev snake, inflicting an -ugly
wound. For the third time the snake
■ strnck, sending the rat into cries of
i agony.
’ By this time the rat was all fight
; and he again lunged at the head of
1 the snake, making larger the hole
i started with bis first head-on attack.
: The snake seemed blinded, for altlymgh
1 he repeatedly struck at the rat he
! could not reach his mark, and the rat
continued his nibbling tactics.
For a week the snake and the rat
fought on. the battle ending Monday
when the rat succeeded in driving his
teeth completely through the hole in
the snake’s head.
During most of the week, according
to Mr. Morris who had watched the
fight closely, the rat nibbled at • the
rattlers of the snake every time he
had a chance. This morning he finish
ed the job for nothing remains of the
eight rattlers but a tiny stub on one,
and the rodent was quietly knawing at
it. ,
The rat seems quiet enough when not •
prodded with a stick or something. ]
He walks to tlie edge of his cage for J
■bread but once something j
him lie dives back at the snake, seem
ingly unable to realize that the three- j
foot monster is ills prey.
ANOTHER HUGE REPTILE v
KILLED AT ROCKY RIVER j
Rattle Snake Measuring Six Feet Is j
Slain by Woodman.—Third Rattler
Found Recently.
Cabarrus County continues to put
forth its best foot in an effort to ob- '
tain the crown as the best breeding :
ground for rattle snakes. Another I
monster reptile, measuring an even !
six feet, was killed this morning uqgr j
tlie Rocky River bridge on the Cji*r J
lotte-Concord highway. / ‘
This is the third snake which has I
been found in the vicinity recently, the *
first having been discovered and kill- i
ed ten days ago. It measured six J
feet, five incites in length. There j
were 22 rattles. The second was )
found dead by the farmers in the vi- |
cinity but was not measured. j
The Inst snake, killed this morning, j
hi. just a few inches shorter than the -
first one but is considerably younger. v
It had only fourteen rattles. Per
sons who know about snakes, fcowev- I
er. saw, that these two reptiles were ]
of different varieties. The last- one is j
a diamond back.
The conqueror of the. snake is not j
known. It was brought to the city i
by J. F. Canup. who happened to be, j
passing the bridge shortly after it had
been killed. He did not know the
name of the man who had killed it, ,
he said. i
According to the story told by Mr. 1
Canup. this man had been chopping ,
wood’near the bridge and found the 1
rattler lying near his p'le of wood. j
Evidently, the cool weather had numb- i
ed it,"because it put up no fight when 1
he approached. Just after he had cut ,
off its Canupt drove by and i
asked for the rattles. The woodman 1
gave him the entire snake and he (
brought it to the cits where he had it 1
on display.
When "the first snake was killed in <
the same locality a short time ago, it j
put up a hard fight, Chaimiug Fink
