IN AND ABOUT THE CITY ■ CABARRUS CANDIDATE IS SWEPT INTO OFFICE a Judge Oglesby Ran With Leaders on ► j Ticket 4n Cabarrus and Throughout 1 j the State \ ► | For the second time in the history I of the State a Cabarrus man has been elected on a statewide ticket The ! j successful candidate is Judge John i Montgomery Oglesby who was swept into office on the tide of the Demo -1 i cratic vote rolled up in the State I Tuesday. In Cabarrus county Judge”’Oglesby i ran well with the leaders on the Deni [ erratic ticket. The complete vote on the State ticket will not be available j until the vote is canvassed tomorrow | but it is known that all State can didates received about the same vote as the candidates for county offices. Unofficial returns from ,the votiug in Cabarrus show that Judge Oglesby will have a majority of about 900. This is higher than some of the coun ty candidate and lower than rhe lead er. Ik. V. Elliott. Judge and Mrs. Oglesby are spend- j ing the week at their home here. He- i ports received by him from friends; ami party leaders in various parts of! the state show that he has been elected j over John L. Kandelman by a big majority. Congressman Doughton and Solici tor Zeb V. Long also have been re j elected, early returns iudicate, and their majorities are so large that fbeir election is assured even on the face of incomplete returns. Judge Oglesby was appointed to the bench by Governor A. W. McLean to serve the unexpired term of the late j Judge Ren F. Long, of Statesville. As j a result of his election Tuesday the Concord judge will serve for eight j years. Superior Court judges being chosen for terms of eight years. NEGRO STILL IN JAIL; DETECTIVE ON CASE Officers Doubt Whether Negro (’an Be Able to Direct Officers So as to Find Relatives. The negro Jim, arrested here Tues j day morning when found in a freight car at the Southern freight depot, is I still in the county jail. Convinced j that the negro is feeble minded offieers : an* uncertain now as to his fate. Railroad detectives have been called on the case, it is said, and they will j make an effort to locate relatives of f'.ie negro, who says he is about 17 or IS years old. In conversations so far Jim has not been' able to give any j definite information about himself and for this reason officers may not be i able to locate his home folks. Tin* j negro talks about coining from “down in Virginia” but he does not Know the j name of the town he started from. : If it is established that the negro is feeble minded he may be sent home if his *aome can be learned. Other-] wise an effort may be made to enter j him in some institution where ne can be cared for. At Hotel Concord.

It t is said the loss is entirely covered ■ by insurance. ■ Many boxes of goods were opened in the store Tuesday afternoon, it was said and the boxes and packing were ■ placed near the warehouse door. A’ i j cigarette or cigar butt smoldered in ■ the trash nil night or a rat carried ' a match to’the trash are the explana ■ tions offered for the origin of the fire. ■ When the firemen reached the w are ! house, which is connected with the !] main part of the store, they found the ■ room tilled with smoke and a blase . j eating into the ceiling. Without causing much water damage to the room the blaze was extinguished. The ceiling and one wall were ; burned and the entire room somewhat j damaged by smoke: Several boxes : of bottles were burned, and the 1 Kittles : broken and two large bottles of amonia were smashed. This was about the extent of the actual loss, and it is ; understood that the loss is covered by insurance. I STANLY IS DEMOCRATIC.

Reports sent out from Albemarle 'early Tuesday indicated that the Re publican candidates hud been elected ; by about 200. but reports this morn ' ing show that the eutire Democratic ticket was elected.

As a matter of fact the (kmomits carried the county and Concord, the Democratic vote not in-, eluding Kannapolis showing a major ity for each of the candidates. Furr without his Kannapolis ma jority of 722. ltad a majority of 40 Vote-: McAllister in Concord and the comity had a majority of 106; Miss McEacbern.had a majority of 228out sldc of Kannapolis ami Elliott had a majority of 539 before the Kannapolis votes were i-ounted. All of the other Democrats hud majorities of like pro portions. Some Republicans also laid claim to the Kannapolis vote, while others said the vote there would be about even None of the Republican lead ers apparently, had any idea that the Democratic majority there would be anything like 764, the average. Tito Republicans showed their big gest gains at the Hartsell and Brown mills, where they have always been strony They carried Ward 5. Box 2, Ward One, hut showed practically no gain in either. Before the elec tion Ike (i. O. P. leaders were claim ing Township 11, Box I. Township 9. Township 6. and Township 10. The vote in all of these was close and at the Roberta Mill, another Republican stronghold, the Democrats held their owbt. Instead of carrying Townships 0 aud 9. the Republicans saw u ma jority iu each for the Democrats. Hie vote in the county was unus ually heavy in spite of the fact that this is an "off year." The total vote showed an increase of about 600 over two years ago in tlie county with the Democrats getting an even break in the increase. The Democrats inadel increase in Ward 4 and Ward 2. I In Ward 4 three more jieople voted tbkiAweve registered. This wall a<*' counted for by the fact that t'trcr per sons hud become of age since the registration luniks dosed. 1 leniiM-ratic leaders were esiweiully gratified with the vote iu the county, where the Republicans had centered their forces for the most part. ATI sorts of talk about high taxes had beensmadc and the promise of a 10 tier cent, tax reduction offered by the Kt-pablicnns. yet tile Democratic vote in tK« county showed strength every where . "This shows that the |>eople want progressive people at the helm ill the ('minty," one man stated. "We can’t have lax reductions and progress and tlie people are willing to pay when tlie taxes mean better roads and bet ter sgfioois.” During election day the Republi cans apparently lost hope of electing anything like their full ticket and sought to get in their candidate for sheriff . It is known that Democrats in all parts of the county were asked to scratch Caldwell for Cline, the Re publicans offering to vote for Elliott in exchange, apparently in the knowl edge that they had no (fiance to de feat the register of deeds. Most of tlie scratching, however, was done by Republicans as is shown in the Elliott-Housel vote. Elliott hud the largest vote and Housel the smallest. Democratic leaders have been gen erous in their prise of tfie Kannapolis leaders wTio polled such a handsome vote. Six years ago Kannapolis was Republican by several hundred but by hard work tlie Democrats there have cliaug 4 the complexion of things afid tlie "t ".el city" is now safely in tlie lii iuoi in:i<* column. There was little betting on the elec tion. most of Ike liets being placed on majorities. It is said that several Democrats bet that the lowest man on the ticket would pilfl a majority of at least 390. There was no even money bet #n the outcome, it is said, The official vote will be canvassed tomorrow morning and Is not cd to show any great change from the unofficial count carried in ia table in this paper today. > TODAY’S EVENTS Wednesday.

THE STATE I’SK TWO ACTO LICENSE I‘LATENT t Only - Three States Now Cling to the One Plate Plans. Tl*H>une'Bureau. / L Sir Walter Hotel. • Ualeigh, Nov :t.—-—Otic of the first • qurtWinn svhiHi veteran and newlr j elected member* of the next General Assembly will have to wrestle with • will be the quest km of whether the state will Continue to use only one 1 automobile license plate, or whether | it will adopt the double license plate | system, now in use in virtually all at ) the state in the county, with the ox , ception of North Carolina. South , Carolina and Texas. I’p until l‘Jl7. this state qsed the dopble license plates, but owing to the high cost of t steel during the war. but oue plaiC , was used, and system lias been , in use ever since. Now. however, uw-, I ing to the increase in the number of automobiles iq the state, and the confusion which results when motor ists from North Carolina go into other states where the two-platit ’ system is used, serious consideration ’ being given to the return to the ; dual plate plan. At present North Carolina is pay [ ing a little over fimr-and-a-bulf cents for its license plates, or to be exact, $.047 each. More than 400.000 11- 1 cense plates will be used thin year, ' and next year 515,000 plates are ti» ' be ordered. The only increase in cost would be mtt more than five - c ents fore tile extra plate, so that the 1 two plates could be provided at h 1 total cost of not more than $25,750 ■* for the entire staate. and perhaps a slight increase ill postage, which - would be absorbed by other savings, s jn the opinion of Sprague Silver, ai • rector of the Automobile licence (li c vision, and who m in favor of the double license plate system. ■ It is known that the Caro ina I Motor club ami other allied motor > trades associations are going to throw their entire influence behind ■ the move to secure the double license i plates, and it is not expected that | much serious opposition will develop, i because of the obvious desirability of t tbe system and its advantages to all - concerned! 5 There are some who w ill object to I it on the grounds' that it will eu , courage the shifting of license plates . from one car to unotber, or the J operutiug of the ears under t one license. But those familiar with tbe dual plate system pfllnt out that this is impossible, inaesmueh as,the opera tion of an automobile without both plate* in place, front and rear, in equivalent to its operation with’ uo license whatever, and may <-ou6e . quently bo atopped by pqlicc or de ’ putiiy to secure an explanation and tor examination of the driver’s license cardi . U,,f. c Law enforcement officer*, especial r ly motorcycle police, are unanimous , in I heir endorsement of the proposal. 1 in that it wDV make the detection of ■ stolen cars add of speeders much easier, whfu license plates are car • ried on both tbe front and rear df. • uutomobflee. - • Altogether, an interesting time in the ;Gen«*l Assembly may be cx,- pacts# wbep the question of the *; double licence plate comes up, as it ,liß 1 waa spec* L «Wfl3gy • • His* Vise wanted to go home* f to he's mot Her. q t Tsm— k .. . . t Jith—He wm, takiog her'there. : 1?
