The Cgbarrus tjounty Pair for 1926 could be held next week as well as in'October insofar as the condition of the grounds and buildings are con cerned. Dr. T. N. Spencer, secretary, and 1 H. W. Caldwell, vice president, are supervising the work now being done, op the grounds and they state the work could be easily completed by- Monday if it were necessary for the grounds to be used that soon. ME Caldwell is supervising the large force of hands at" work on the. ! roluiS within the grounds. He has about completed the new entrance road and has had all ’of the interior roads reworked. As a matter of fact this work is kept up the year around with the result, that there is little to be done now. Another force of hands is at work cutting she grass and weeds in all parts- of the. grounds. Hie location of the shows has been cleared off, as has practically all of the groupd near the exhibition halls. Workmen Thurs day' were cutting the weeds and grass on tho v various parking arefts within the grounds. Carpenters are Working now on the ! new entrance gate which replaces the one recently burned. The new gate is 30 feet wider than the old one and offers three entrances for cars and two for pedestrians. This year all persons entering must come through this gate its the lower gate will be used exclusively as an exit gate. Of ficials think this plan will work to the advantage of the ticket , takers and- persons who desire to fix easy exit from the grounds. The office which stands near the entrance gate has a new location this year. It has been moved back farther from the gate, so as to give more space at. the entrance, and is also placed sd that persons on the second floor can watch <h« horse races without their view being ob structed by the grandstand. A porch hits been built to the office. All of the new stalls for the stable have been completed and workmen al so are finished With the new hog barn. Due to the fact that the hog show at the local fait is expected to be the biggest in the state an additional house had to be erected. The new house is next tO' tike old one. Fences and trees on the inside of file grounds will be whitewashed with in the next two weeks, all wiring will be examined to see that it is in good shape and other steps taken to see that- the grounds are ready several weeks before the dhte for the opening. Official* of the. fair refuse to wait un til tile last minute to get their busi ness in order. ‘ Fprm exhibits this year are expect ed to be more numerous and better than at any fair yef.bcld lipre. ‘.This is the first year the farm people '.lave had anything like « normal season.” •one farmer stated recently "and w« are going to offer some real exhibits this year.'’ Dr. Spencer staged that several community clubs which have not offered U*h bits heretofore have re-1 served space for-the fair this year. KANNAPOLIS SCHOOL IS BEING ENLARGED North School Building Will Be Al most Doubled in Size.—School Will Open September 13th. An addition to the North School at Kunnapolis is being erected now. work having been started last week. It is planned to have the work cum- 1 pleteil by December first. The ,T. A. Hudson Construction I Company has the contract for the work and a large force of hands has been put on the job. The new ad dition will almost double t'.ie size of the school plant. It is said in reports from Kan nap- j olis that class work in the school will | not be interrupted by the Construe- j tion of the addition, ! The 1926-27 term for the school is j 1 scheduled to begin September 13th at ' !' 8:30 a. m. and all pupils up to the | sixth grade of the community served by the.sciool will report at that time.! The North School is located ill Row an county and is under the supervi-1 sion of the Rowan county superin tendent of schools. A Great Picture! By the Press Agent Here's a great picture!—a perfect screen story that cuts deep into the human heart; a story of thrills, humor and tenderness A magnifi cently spectacular production, and a beautifully directed east. I “Hell-Bent Fer Heaven” is the I picture. It opened today at the Coa | cord Theatre. It is a screen version I of the famous Hatcher Hughes play I which won the Pulitzer Prize for I 1923, and was produced for the Warners by J. Stuart Blackton. I ,In screen form "Hell-Bent Fer Heaven" retains all the stirring sus pense of the original play, and al though for a quarter of a century Commodore Blackton has been asso ciated with notable screen successes, he has never turried out a picture as compelling as this 1 one. Patsy Ruth Miller, in the leading feminine role of Jude, the yonng mountain girl, gives a remarkably convincing characterization of cour ageous and lovely girlhood. John ! Harron, as Sid, her sweetheart new ly returned from the war only to j find a family feud awaiting him, is } excellent, catching the spirit of the | gay. dare-devil young hero of the story. | Gardner James, whose portrayals | of "queer'uns” is known to all pic ture-ggoers. makes Bute, the religi t ous fanatic, a striking figure, and I Gayne Whitman gives • a fine per ! formauhe as Andy, the hot-tempered j brother of Jnde. Evelyn Selbie and 1 Wilferd North play Sid’s parents J with sympathy and understanding. L and James Marcus makes old gram! father Hunt the kindly, shrewd old L soul whose comment about Rufe, [ “I’ve never seen a man so hell-bent [frt heaven as he «,’* tfro, the story I ' V Afeslfiif it tHfi CONCORD frAti.Y TRIBUTE 1 CABARRUS TEAMS WIN FROM .ANCIENT FOES i Gibson Team Defeats Fayetteville While Kannapolis Is Winning From Mt.

Mr. MeGrhw, who was driving, was not hurt, but fjis ear was badly damaged. The Ford, with the exception of a bent front fender, was not damaged and Choate drove it off later. He and his sister were in the car. Both Choate and McGraw laid tlie blame on the other fellow. Choate said he turned west on Franklin Ave nue in an effort to avoid a crash, he being headed north on Spring street jat the time.

Ed. M. COOK DIES AT HOSPITAL HERE Had Been in 111 Health for Several Years.—Funeral Services Sunday Afternoon. Ed. M. Cook, of near Kannapolis, died at the Concord Hospital this morning. He hail been in ill health for more than two years, and his con dition had been so critical for several weeks that his death was expected. lor fifteen years Mr. Cook was in the mercantile business in Concord and Kannapolis, and also was one of the most successful and best known farmers in the county. He is surveyed by hite wife, ten children, two orothers and three sis ter*. The Children are: Mrs. fi. S. Lowder, of Cortilyon, Ala., Mrs. M, A. Clayton, of Asheville, and R. M„ H. E.. M. \V.. (’. b„ Henry. Frank M.. and James Cook and Miss Helen took, of this county. The surviving brothers are J. M. Cook, of Charlotte, and ( . H. Cook, of Kannapolis, and the Sisters arc Mrs. A. Crowell, of Concord. Mrs. M. O. Barringer, of iHabsbury, and Mrs. Maggie Coon, of Kannapolis. Funeral services will be held Snn day afternoon at 2 o’clock at Center Grove Lutheran Cbnrch, of w+ich he had been an officer tof number of years. Interment wilt be in t'ue cem etery of the church. The condition Cook, who suffered a stroke of aiioplexy last week, shows little improvement. He IBROM N WILL HECIpE ‘ W deserted BABES fate vaitigatfd Cas*. I j*|tickie.'' blue-eyed, rosy-cheeked kafie left bv tin unknown person at s the iome of Dr. J. S. Laffrtty here i Wednesday night, will remain in Con cord until J. H. Brown, county wel i fare officer, has had opportunity to I investigate the ease and decide what - should be done with him. This became known Thursday wfien - *,.,*cman from a children’s home in i the Btate asked for permission to take tite-ohiid to the home. Permission *tea| dought from I)r. S. E. Buchanan, iroupty health officer, who advised the ■ woman that nof.iiug wonld be done In ■ the case until Mr. Brown, now re ■ ruperating from a recent operation, I had time to investigate the case. Mr. Brown’s condition is reported i today as improved but it is almost certain that he will not be able to | leave his home before Monday at the earliest In the meantime he is con ; ferring with local officials who have started an investigation and he hopes to be in position by the first of next week to make some disposition of the ease. While officers are trying to learn something of his former home, the baby is doing nicely at the 'Concord Hospital, where he was taken soon af ter being found in the Ijiffetty home. Nurses in the hospital have shown great interest in the babe and he has received attention fit for a royal off spring during his sojourn here. It is rumored that several Concord people are willing to adopt the baby in case Mr. Brown decides to take that course. However, no formal ap plication for adoption has yet been made and it is probable that none will be mgde until Mr. Brown returns to his office ami has conferred with those persons who are. willing to give the child a home. The woman from the children's home, the name of which was not given by officers who talked with her, was in ('uncord at a rather early hour Thursday and asked that the child be scut to the home she represents. Stic was in Concord on business for the borne, she intimated, and while here heard about the desertion of the child. It is understood that she told Mrs. Laffertv she would take the child anil later told Dr. Buchnnnu the same thing. Officers have been unable so far to get any definite cine that wonld aid j in solving the mystery of the babe's parents. Although clothes left with the riiihl hear the laundry mark, “J. N.'H." officers have been unable to, trace this mark due to the great num ber, of laundries and the fact that many of them may use the same mark. It is tlie opinion of officers that if the parents arc ever known the fact will be brought out not through the marks on the clothing but through the love of the child's mother. They are hoping that despite the fact that she deserted the child the mother in stinct will yet compel her to claim ♦WSbabe. j LUTHER LEAGUE MEETING SOON AT CHINA GROVE Sixth Annual Convention of the Lath er League of the State Lutheran Synod.
