Throngs crowded t&e stores by 10 o’clock and at 12 the clerks were still as busy as bees. The shoppers, evidently failing to take heed to the many “shop early” warnings, were all trying to make their purchases at the last minute and have all the gifts from- Santa, Claus on hand by Christmas morning. Despite gloomy predictions by cer tains of the local merchants to the effect that last Saturday would be the “biggest” day of the pre-Christ mas shopping season and that- this week would be dull, if looked this morning as though today would easily eclipse last Saturday in volume of sales. Although many of the people from the county came in on Saturday, many more were back again today doing just as much shopping as before. The people from Concord .too, despite the fact that they have had ample oppor tunity to procure their present ear lier, were busier than ever. Flags made their appearance on the street, supposedly in celebration of the fact that it was the day before Christmas. As is usual with Christmas crowds, the majority of the shoppers were good-natured and had their faces wreathed in smiles. There was much joking and swapping of ygyns among those who were standing round wait ing. One did not have to be intro duced to start talking. Judging from the good omens which could be seen on all sides today. Christmas in Cabirrus county will be on# of the happiest and merriest in many a year. PARKS-BELK CO.

And folks do things and say things at such times that they are hardly •re sponsible for. Many are wondering whether the unfortunate trouble which'took place last night between young Bay Smiggs, one of the fire man. and policeman Vance Lowder, and which implicated others, which came very nearly causing serious trouble, was not the result of this dispqwition on the part of many, to get unduly excited in case of fire. After the alarm had sounded anjd the membersV of the fire fighting force, had arrived .with the big file trudk. ‘ Smiggs ran to the fire-house for truck Number ?. which carries, two large chemical tanks. This was iu accordance with standing instruc tions in once of fire iu the business district, according to the fire de partment chief. As the young fireman attempted to turn (he square where officer Ixiwer was directing traffic, he was stopped by the officer and forced to return the truck. Smiggs claims that Lowijer used very severe language to him. After he had re turned the trucl, he mentioned tlih matter to Policeman Lowder. who claimed that he did not use tho lan guage which Smiggs said he unrtet stood him to use. A dispute arose and the lie was passed, whereupon Imwder dragged the young mail to the city hall tinder arrest. At the city hall one or two other were drawn in to tlie dispute which cuilie very near ly taking on serious proportions. Snuggs was then released. It was reported early this morning that officer Lowder had resigned, but a conference with Jlayor Harris proved this report to be without foundation. slnyor' Harris stated that he had not received Mr. Loa der's resignation.
