W. Blanks, general secretary of the Cefceord If. fljl, C. A. and director of the tMacoid Y Tours in Europe, was seriously hurt in an accident in Amsterdam Friday, according to a focssage received here Friday after boon. No details of the accident were giv en in the cable from Mrs. Blauks. The message, dated “Amsterdam. 12- I®. 9:45 p. m.” read: "Mr. Blanks seriously injured in accident. Mrs. Blanks.” The mes sage was addressed to F. H. A.lden, local representative of the Metropol itan Life Insurance Co. Mr. Adden stated this morning that Mr. Blanks carries an accident pol icy with the Metropolitan company and he thinks Mrs. Blanks cabled ,hlm for that reason. Amsterdam was oneof the cities on the itinerary of the T Tours party and it is presumed that Mr. Blanks was there with his party when hurt. At noon today no further messages had been received here from Sirs. Blanks and friends of the Y secre tary are taking It for granted that no news is good news. Thh time of the filing of the mes sage of Mrs. Blanks leads many per sons tp presume that her husband was injured late in the afternoon or early at night. * There is a big difference in time between Amsterdam and United States Eastern Standard time. The differ ence is five hours and twenty min utes. The niessage sent in Amster dam at 9:45 p. m. reached Coneord at 5:14 p. m. and was delivered to Mr. Adden a few minutes later. The cable from Mrs. Blanks has caused much agitation in Concord because of the general high esteem and love in which her husband is held by all. Scores of persons have made inquiries at this office for further in formation and many others have in quired at the Y. M. C. A. Every inquirer adds that he hopes the in juries will prove less serious than first thought. It is presumed that no other mem bers of the Blanks party were hurt in the aqcident with Mr. Blanks. Relatives of other persons in the party have beard nothing to indicate ' that any one except Mr. Blanks was • hurt. More than a half dozen North Car olina cities, and various other parts of the country are represented by the 1 personnel of the Blauks party. : .WALTER W. MEDIAN f (From “My Father’s Business.” bul letin of the First Baptist Church) Eayth is poorer and heaven is rich er because of the passing of Brother W. W. Medlin. We shall miss him sorely, and his going is an additional challenge to our church officials and to the entire membership of the church, to try to "fill up the big gap." which his vacancy has made. "Where- . fore by their fruits ye shall know them,” Matt. 7:20„ Our departed Brother proved his loyalty and devo tion to his church aud Lord, by his works—his religious zeal, liberality, regular attendance, his deep sense of responsibility as a church official, his harmonious disposition, his steady, un- ostentatious service, his unquestioned sincerity, his wonderful constancy! Indeed, his memory shall be a rich .heritage of inspiration and encour agement to all who are trying to live , Godly lives, and a rebuke to those . who scoff at the reality of the Chris tian religion. With his bereaved lov- ed ones we mourn. May the tender mercies and grace of God sustain thrtn in this hour of trial. 2 Cor. 12:9; 1 Cor 13:12; 1 Cor. 15:51-58; John 16:33. The fact that he was about his "Father's Business," up to the very last service that he attended will ab ; de as a bright memory. The large circle of friends who attended his fun eral, the unusually long string of au tomobiles, the numerous beautiful floral offerings, was a fitting attesta tion of the high esteem in which Wal ter W. Medlin was field- by the com munity at large.

Ga., on October 27-28. Speakers at -the meet ing will include Republicans of nat ional reputation. “The Southern States Republican League is an exclusively white organ isation of Republican men and wom en and is devoted to the purpose of enlisting the interest and support of southern white people in Rpublican principles.” the announcement of the coming meeting said. “Although sub-divided into State 1 unite, the league is essentially a sec tional organization.” Charles IU Gordon, of Mississippi, former United States postmaster in Chicago, is president of the associa tion.

So he stepped to the blackboard and asked that some one call out a num ber.

The vefy tasty drubbing administered put thd Basinger boys back on both feet an# revived hope among the fans that th* team hasn't cracked, but bent just a little. There were several symptoms in dicatini that the Gingham-Makers have contracted their old winning habit qgain. Johnnie Meador flashed one ofThe best pitching performances of the season, and though he allowed eight hits, he kept them widely scat tered and was always able to tighten u(> in the piuehes. The infield, with one exception, was rock-steady and played their best game of the year. Truej the hitting was fragile, con sisting of only six ringing blows, but, lip«d i«i with three errors by Ka-n uapo'.is, they were responsible for as many runs. Jerry Jackson, Greens boro Patriot, hurling tor the Towel- Makers, was good. Jive of the six hits he allowed were bunched in the fifth and sixth innings, however, and accounted for all of the runs made by Gihson. Kannapolis Seam First Kanflapolis did not hgug back coyly in the matter of scoring runs McClain doubled to the centerfield fence. ih the first inning to score Haynes, who had walked, from first. Then, in the third. Motsingcr beat out an infield hit, was sacrificed to sec ond by Haynes, and scored when Mc- Clain got his second hit, a single to left. From that time until the end of the game Meador wa* a complete puxzle to them, though' they pushed over turn unearned runs in the eighth. Gibson Takes Led# hi Fifth It had begun to look like Kannap olis’ day. Gnly one hit had been made off Jackson for four innings, a single by Belk in the second, and his peculiar delivery Was very worri some td thr locals. Ellerbce got a lucky break to start the fifth, how ever, and stock began to rise. He swung at a bad thlrif strike and missed it. So did Catcher McClain. Ellerbce ran to first and then tn second when Motsi tiger also threw the ball away. Hawkins, new first sacker, provejl his worth by sharply doubling down the third base line, scoring El lerbee with the first Gihson run. Simmons, in left field for his batting strength, seht one ovet second base at a mile-a-minute dip. scoring Haw kins front second and tying the score. Simmons went all the way to third when his hit took a bad hop over Lee’s head. Watts fanned for the first out, but Meador decided it was time for his side to be ahead, so he a beautiful single where There was nobody, in right, and Simmons scampered home with the run that broke the 2-2 tie. Hatley fanned and Meador was forced at second by Bassinger, to end the inning. Jarrett Gets Homer. Kannapolis couldn't do anything about it in their half for the sixth, their auly chance flying away when Meador caught Lee napping off first after he had singled to center. Jar rett just knew that one run wasn't a big enough lead so he calmly soared one of Jackson's hooks lazily over the left fielj fence to begin Gibson's sixth. Belk was safe at first on a bobble by Johnson, and immediately stole second. He went to third on Ellerbee's infield out tind scored when Johnson threw wildly after electing to play for him on Hawkins' tap to short. Hawkins stole second, went to third on a passed ball by McClain and scored on Simmon’s single to left. Watts hit into a double play to end the scoring. Gibson was unable to touch Jackson for another hit, but it was not neeessary. Two for Kannapolis in Eighth With two down in the eighth, Basinger booted an easy tap by Cash ion. The latter scored when Hatley made an error of McClain's third hit, a single, and McClain perched on third. He scored on Lee’s single to center. Watts got them out, finally, hy making a spectacular catch of luintx's foul fly, running against the stands to make the difficult play. Briefs The first play of the game was n thriller. Jarrett made a beautiful running catch of Motsinger's near Texas-leaguer to rob the diminutive second baseman of a hit. In Gib son's half, Lee backed up against the fence for Hatley's hard hit fly. For the first time tliii season Gib son showed strength on first base. Hawkins played as though he were born there, and speeded up the en . tire infield- Gibson would do well , to keep h ; m. Johnnie Meador's pitches were do ing such ridiculous things toward the latter part of the game that the Kan napolis players insisted that Dusen berry take a squint at the bail. Noth- ing objectionable was discovered by the arbiter. Watts’ cateh of Lentz's foul fly in the eighth to retire the side was the fielding feature of the day. .He ght a big band from the stands. With Jerry Jackson, of the Greens boro Patriots on the mound, and Fashion, of the Salisbury Colonials, in right field. Kannapolis came down all primed to win a game. Qishion went hitless an t.-rr.
