MeElroy in • Cabarrus Superior Court, 25 Mecklenburg County men reported here this morning for jury duty in the Martin Kpst trial. Upon motion of the defendant Judge MeElroy Saturday ordered a special venire from Mecklenburg for the trial and the men reported to Cabarrus County officials here this morning at !1 o'clock. In his affidavit Bost said that owing to the prominence given 1 his case at the two former trials it was impossible for h : m to get an im partial trial from Cabarrus citizens. It was for this reason that the Meck lenburg venire was ordered by Judge MeElroy. The venire follows: J. N. Hunter, J. W. Owens. W. B. Reid. W. H. Johnston. W, S. Grey, t. S. Bingham. F. T. Purse.

A new thirst-battering ram Al-Oola. a soft drink which became popular in t-'hnrlottc almost overnight, today goes on sale in Concord grocery stores and soda fountains, through introduction by a novel form of advertising Which has been started in The Tribune. Al-Coia is manufactured by Char lotte Pepsi-Cola Company, and is pro nounced by this company as being pure, healthful and an enemy to hot weather thirst. This driuk will become famous throughout the south, in the opinion of its makers, judging from the en thusiastic manner in which it is now j being consumed. The manufacturers, however, are unable to attempt a sec tion-wide introduction at this time owing to limited mechanical facili ties. but are prepared, they say. to install additional equipment just as soon as they have recovered their breath from this unforeseen introduc tory rush. They never dreamed Al- Cola would muke such an instantan eous appeal. Trucks daily will bring Al-Cola to Concord. Concord Theatre Packed Last Night to see “Mike.” * Everyone is talking about “Mike" today. It'* one of the most merry, fast moving, thrilling, and entertain ing films that has been shown here in some time. Moreover it has the inimitable 51»r.sbaU Neilan touch, applied in generous measures, having not only been directed by the gentleman, but conceived by his own brain as well. The story deals with the adven tures es the daughter of a railroad section boss, who is stationed near a small desert town. Wbeu not hold ing their sides from laughing, patrons of the Conco'rd Theatre last night were popped with excitement. The Concord announced that Rex Beach’s great novel of ynkon days "The Barrier” will be the attraction for Wednesday. Rex Beach, writer of red-blooded adveittnre stories has never in his brilliant career written ■ such a breath taking tale as "The Barrier”. Sensation trips on the heels of sensation in -this virile pic ture, with one of the greatest easts you've ever seen. It is the. thrilling tale of a girl alone in the midst of men turned to brutes, and of how, along the road of stirring adventure, she found hap piness at last! Revival at West Concord Baptist Church.

Rla^kwelder. From the mur-.y orcatves or the past an old. weather-beaten. age;iyprs, but, nevertheless interesting, record of almost a hundred years ago haß been found. It was brought to the office of The Tribune several. days ago by R. V. Blackwelder, of 127 South Union street. Though the covers of the book are well-nigh worn away and many of the pages are badly discolored by the ravaging hand of time, the genteel. Spencerian script of the writer still remains clear and one may yuite easily read the accounts and notations that were transcribed there between 1535 and 1840. The ledger was evidently the prop erty of an old firm composed of-two of Cabarrus County's most prominent families, R. W. Allison and Robert S. Young. It is imiiossible to get any accu rate idea of what the accounts in the first i>nrt of the ledger refer to as they were all transferred from a daybook and bear only that information. In the back, however, the personal ac counts of R .W. Allison are shown and also the accounts kept by him as guardian of Robert S. Young. One of these pages, marked “Re turns to the County.” gives a list of notes taken for the hire of negroes and for the rent of land belonging tor R. S. Young for the year 1536. slany well-known Cabarrus names are found on this page. Negro salves were rented out by their owners for as low as $32.00 ]>er year and rarely was more than SIOO.OO for a year. The ledger was found in Mr. Black welder's barn, it is said, and has prob ably been there for many years. It will be on display at The Tribune office for several days for persons who would like to see the methods of book-keeping used a century ago. DIVORCE CASES TAKE U?

Fink’s Pushcar Broken. Local entries did not fare so well in the pushmobile contests on the Char lotte speedway Monday afternoon. One of the axles on the ear belonging to Felix Fink, Concord's fastest entry, was broken just as the truck in which they were being transported entered Charlotte and it was impossible to get |t fixed in time for the races.

Entered in the first heat, Pickard pushed his car into tliirii place, but ns only first and sec ond places entitled a car to race in the mailt event, his efforts were In vain. Who Owns This Land?
