(BY JAZZY MOORE) * Kannapolis, Dec. 28.—Jimmy Moord, veteran professional boxer, re tained the unofficial middleweight crown of Cabarrus County when Shag Messimer failed to check him in a four round headliner of a boxing and wrestling carnival held at the Ca barrus Y. M. C. A. The scrap did not appear to show anything more sensational than a few easy punches. There was much infighting and clinch ing throughout the bout. Mobre had ptoviously knocked out 15 pugilistic stars including Shives of Salisbury, and Bailey from Lowell. An estimable attendance of two thousand witnessed this mammoth, show, which was begun Thursday night and came to a successful close today. Gruelling, brutal and sensa tional boxing and brilliant wrestling resulted. Among the most outstand ing tussles and Bashes were: Belk vs. Russell; Watson against Rogers: Marcus opposing DeMarcus; and El liot facing White. * Belk. from Charlotte and New Or leans, and Russell of Concord, prob ably furnished the best tight of the tournament. This pair seemed to have more steam behind their Wows and to show more skill than any two of the entire contestants. Russell won by a shade over the reputed: Belk. according to general opinion. Kidd Elliott, of Salisbury fame, registered the first knockout of the show by putting away Speedy White, local slugger, in the second frame of what was to have been a four round clash. The knockout blow was a ter rific right to the body, seemingly a foul that escaped the referee’s atten tion. Dummy Marcus upset ail dope l.y sending MuriejL DeMarcus down for a count of ten in the open mg round of a scheduled four rounder. The featured wrestling battle was betweeu Rogers, Kannapoliun of wide mat experience, and -Garsie Watson, fresh from the navy. The latter a nip pier lasted but four minutes with the local artist. A half-Nelson hold was used to defeat the Navy champion. An added attraction of this annual evqnt was the delightful music music furnished by the "Frisky Five” or chestra. Card cf Thanks From County Pris oners. Kannapolis, N. C., Dec. 27. 1925. Mr. Editor: We want to take this method of ex pressing our appreciation and thanks to the people of No. 4 township foh the bountiful feast spread for the prisoners of Cabarrus County convict camp on Christmas day. This was one of the greatest treats, we ilare say, enjoyed by any camp in the state. These good people do not do things by halves anil showed a spirit of good will and cheer by the Christion peo ple of the community in and around Bethpage Church. A short talk was made by Mr. Wm. G. Brown. State Highway Engineer and general super intendent of road construction for the highway commission, as well as road supervisor. He thanked the people in behalf of the highway commission ; and prisoners, after which Mr. Petrea asked the blessing or returned thanks i and the boys were told to help them selves. It was a great feast for the prisoners, for which each and everyone of us desire to express our thanks and wish everyone who contributed any thing a very successful and prosperous year in 1920 and through life. We are most iiumblv vours. THE PRISONERS OF CABAR RUS COUNTY CONVICT. CAMP. “Tbe Keper of the Bees.” Brown as a berry ! A nose that tilts up to Heaven like a pansy seeking the morning dew!

And anyone who wants to know just how the “Little Scout” looks in real life can find out by watching Miss Mon- 1 roe. A splendid cast has been direct ed with fineness and distinction by James Leo Meehan, son-in-law of the noted writer, and his wife, Jeannette Porter Meehan, assisted him in retain ing all the color and flavor of the original story.

Plans are being perfected to put ov ed a New Year’s night celebration at the Y. M. C. A. this year which will be one of the best ever given by local Association officials.

Three ball games are scheduled, in formal mass games are projected and a will be on hand to pep it up. All in all, the evening should be a busy one. To begin the evening, the Y varsity will take on High Point in a basket ball match. The two teams are very evenly matched and a battle royal is expected when the locals attempt to regain prestige- lost when the High Point five beat them in a recent en gagement. Following the basketball q line, n volley baTl game is to be heid between tbe local business man’s aggregation and a Salisbury Y team. The volley ball team here has been making rap :d progress in recent months and lo cal fans will find that a smooth work ing team has been developed here. During the course of the evening, the Junior basketball team here will take on a similar five frbm Newells in an exhibition contest. The Methoist lh-Stestant Band has been secured to do their stuff on the musical instruments aud will play at intervals during the eut’re evening. Mass games including pillow fights, cage ball and push ball have been ar ranged and will be used for the enter tainment of the crowd during the hours after the other games are run off. A weiner roast and barbecue will be given on the lawn during the lull in the games, if the weather permits. It is planned to have several speak ers to make brief addresses as the new year is ushered in. These speakers have not yet been chosen. WARMER WEATHER IS PREDICTED FOR CITY Rising Temperatures Indicate Bark of Cold Spell Has Been Broken In This Section. Thermometers which registered 8 above zero at 7:45 o'clock yesterday morning were standing 17 degrees above zero at the same' hour this morning, indicating that the back of the cold wave in this section at least, has been broken. Temperatures were decidedly low again last night but they did not get as near the zero mark as they Sunday night. It is reported that the lowest temjierature of last night was 14 above. A warm sun did much to offset the cold Monday but despite this fact it continued—unusually told. The sun gave the appearance of having heat' anti while it did not cause the mercury to vise very rapidly it made the air seem warmer. Water pipes by the hundreds had to he repaired in the city yesterday There were few homes in which at least one pip*' did not freeze and many homes were without water of any kind. Water in autos froze while the ears were being operated, according to garage men, and many other radia tors which froze during the .night needed attention from an expert. It is believed, from weather reports, that normal weather will be the city's lot by tomorrow. CLINE MABRY KNOCKED DOWN BY AUTOMOBILE X.

The accident occurred on North 1 Church street directly in front of | Mr. Mabry’s home. (Earned Praise For the New Judge. Raleigh Times. The Asheville Times. in' whose community the newest and youngest judge of the Superior Court bus been presiding, has the following comment on Judge John M. Oglesby of Con cord : “Judge John JI. Oglesby, now end ing the last week of his judicial sojourn in Buncombe and the other counties of the 19th District; will leave behind him a splendid reputa tion for diligence in business and un alterable determination to uphold the law and measure out impartial ‘Jus tice from the, Superior Conrt beneh. “The people of Asheville, and Bun combe will especially remember Judge Oglesby for his charge to the gfand jury following the storming of the couYity jail by a mob in search of a negro who, fortunately hnd been removed from the county. Hie Honor on that occasion delivered mi stirring appeal to the .jurors for prompt and fearless dealing with- a lawlessness which sought to tear down and trample underfoot the very structure of (he law itself. Such men as Judge Oglesby are creators and upholders of. North Carolina’s best 'judicial traditions." Not a word too much, either. Judge Oglesby reached the Asheville district. atstrenuous seasons, a parldtis time, and the situation rapidly became more serious.
