fices of the county health department
at the county building on Church j
Street. During the week ending July !
31st he examined and treated no less .
j than 97 patients and the work be did.
I would have cost very nearly S4OO,
if done in a private dental office. j
j Work at the dental clinic wu: go j
;on in full blast until August 41th
at least. Children who have kept ;
putting "off making appointments'
should get in touch with the authori
ties of the health department at once.
It is scarcely a month now until
school opens up and it is very import
ant that all children be examiued and
treated before that time.
Following is l)r. Adams’ report for
last week ;
Total number children examined
for dental treatment —97.
Total number children treated for
dental treatment—97.
Amount and class of treatment
itemized as follows:
Amalgam fillings—Bß.
Cement filling—lo.
Silver nitrate treatments —5.
Abscesses treated—6.

Children's teeth cleaned —90.

ONLY SIX DEATHS IN
CITY REPORTED IN JULY
/Total Smallest Reported in Concord
For the Past Eighteen Months.
Only six deaths ia Concord i« July
were reported in figures given to W.
M. Sherrill, registrar of vital statis
tics for Concord. It is said that j
the deaths of several colored persons
are not included in the total which
does, however, include the deaths of
all white persons who expired during
the month.'
The total, Mr. Sherrill finds, is the
smallest during the past eighteen
months. Seven deaths were report
ed with the July figures but one oc
curred in January and was just being
reported.
Twenty-seven births were report
ed, only ten of them being babes born
in July, however. In this connec
tion Mr. Sherril! points out that Pile
birth reports came from only two
physicians and two mid-wives, so the
total for the month probably would
reach twenty or more had alll physi
cians made their reports.
XW the seven deaths reported five
were of white people. Five of the
dead were females and three of Pile
deats where babes who died at birth.
Os the twenty-seven births report
ed tweuty-one were males. Os the
total sixteen were white children and
there was not an illigitimate birth re
ported in the total.

I iqg Up to Fatal of Mark Simpson. 1
The following ia the story from]
Monroe covering proceedings in the]
| Medlin trial Thursday :
j Monroe, Aug. s.—Argument start-]
ed at 3 o'clock this afternoon in the]
I trial of A. B. Medlin, deputy sberi#]
| of (’abarrap county and policemaji of]
! the city of Concord, charged with thoj
killing of Mark Simpson, in the]
nortern phrt of Union county, on]
I March 25, and it is expected that thoj
jease will reach the jury by noon to-j
j morrow. j
I The high spots in the day’s pro-]
, feedings was the testimony of Med
| lin in M» own defense, in which he]
, attempted to explain the presence of
arms on his iweeon In a neighboring
county, ia which he had no jurisdic
tion, and the story of the slaying as
re'ated by the widow of the deceas
ed. who declared she and ber hus
band were on their way to a ne»g*>-]
borhood store to purchase provisions
and that the . fart that Simpson'*
[ sleeves were rolled up was because
it was a habit be bad aa-quirad while
working is the mills.
The prouectttion attempted to show
that Mediis was • man of excitable
nature, and that he bad beam an dif
ficulties before, one particular in
stance being the occasion of an
alleged robbery in which he and his
brother were said to have participat
ed near the scene of the Simpson
killing. The allegation Officer Medlin
denied emphatically.
At the dose of yesterday's session
the state had put up three witnesses
find rested. The defense upeuod this
morning with near a score of charac
ter witnesses, consisting of the var
ious county and city officials of
Cabarrus county and Concord. Wit
ness after witness, without a single
.exception, testified to the _good
character of Officer Medlin. while
Solicitor Don I*hillips sought in vain
to extmet from them s<«nc expres
sion tending to show that Medlin is
itervons and easily excitable. Failing
j in tins, the solictor guarded the jury
box with bulldog tenacity lest in
competent expressions might be ut
tered before it.
The defendant took the stand and
consumed one hour in relating the
story of the killing and undergoing
a rapid and gruff cross examination.
Briefly stated, the story of defend
ant Medbai is that be went on the
. morning of March 25 from his home
in Concord to his saran in Union
county pursuant to an engagement
made to with his tenant,
Briton Helms, for the securing of
farnt supplies. He went, he said, the
nearest and logical route to «fcp;
' farm. In going he passed the house of,
the man wham he later shot. Mark
Bimpson.
AA’hen he arrived at his farm, he 1
found Helms and his wife planting
onions near the roadside. Near them
were. J. C. Simpson, father of Mrs.
1 Helms and Mark Siuqwon, who was
killed, and Henry Helms, nephew of
the (lead man. After a 15 minutes
: conversation the defendant saw n
car coming down the road in a rapid
and swaggering manner, and he re
marked that the driver must be
drunk- The car. in which were Mark
Simpson and his wife, was driven to
within 30 feet of where the defendent
‘ was standing, and the brake* were
I applied in such a manner ns to wake
; a short stop.
> The man who was shot. Mark
. Simpson, sprang from the car, shuck
i ed his coat and walked rapidly
toward the defendant, rolling his
sleeves. He said, the defendant testi
; fied. “Mr. Medlin, what have you
; been talking about me for?” “I have
i not been talking about you,” Medliai
l said he replied. “You aise ad— liar
and I am going to beat you half to
death,’ Simpson retorted according
- to Medlin.
s The defendant pulled his black
t jack and walked baekwards. Simp
son approached and took hold of the
blackjack. After a scuffle, the de
i fendant testified, Simpson produced
i his knife from his pocket with his
. right fiSnd, and Medlin drew his rc
r volver afid shot him, first in the left
, side, and again over the left kidney.
I Simpson then loosened (he blackjack,
e and fell, dying almost instantly,
e The defendant testified that he
S then cause to Monroe and gave hint
- self over to the sheriff of Union coun-
ty-
J. C. M. Vann, of the defense coun
sel. sought to show that Simpson was
angry with Hffioer Median by intro
ducing into the -vidence the story of
a visit which Medlin had made in
company with prohibition officer
Widen house to the home of Simpson
for the purpose of finding whiskey.
Solicitor Phillips made the defendaut
admit that he had in the past engage
ment in a number of fights. He asked
him of a robbery which he alleged
that he and his brother had commit
ted within 30 steps of -where he kill
ed Simpson. This' the defendaut
denied.
He was theat asked whether the
late D. A. Covington did not defend
them when they were tried for the
offense in Union county. This the of
ficer described as brave man behind
his gun and blackjack.
Officer Medlin made a good wit-!
ness, but was not able to explain j
why be was on Union county soil
with his pistol and blackjack in a
very satisfactory manner. He tried to
satisfy the situation by saying that
it is the custom ofell officers to carry
tbeir arms with them, On being:
pressed he said that he had in his
pocket a warrant ter one by the
name < of Howard, and thought that'
he might run on him In Union and
get the authorities here to arrest him.
"Then did you need your arms if
you were to get the officers here to
make the arrest?" was the queatioin.
Medlin answered that he would have
needed something with which to
carry the prisoner,tq Concord. “Why
dW you not* bring along -your Asa pd
f-offs, or (conn you -haye not gotten
handcuff* the l+eriff lujre?”
Median his fimt

IMUHaincnt citizens from Goose Creek J
ffflmship, neighbors to Mark Bimp

‘fSlpse to prove that the dead man
SEg bully ended in no avail,
j The pathetic scene of the trial oc
tcarred when Mrs. Mark Simpson,
indfiou of the slain man, took the
fagjnd this afternoon, of figure,

{natural and direct route to the store;
