! judgmeut was that the defendant pay
i SSO and cost of action.
M. S. Lewis was charged with vio- :

Mr. Lewis objected to the jtidg- '
ment and appealed to the Supreme

SSO. He was given 45 days to make
up and serve ease on appeal to the
Supreme Court. The solicitor for the
State was allowed 45 days to make
up and serve counter ease or file ex
ception*.
The case of Lewis Allman, charged
with driving a car while intoxicated,
was settled when the defendant plead
ed guilty. Prayer of judgment was
continued for a period of twelve
months conditioned upon the defend
ant paying into the court the sum of

school fund, the cost of the action,
and filing a bond of S3OO. conditioned

MORE THAN QUOTA
FOR RELIEF FUND
HAS BEEN RAISED
Residents of Cabarrus Coun
ty Are Making Good Re
sponse to Plea For the
Flood Victims.
Amiouncviiient was mad<“ today that
tli<* sum of $1,375.26 had born turned
in to the Cabarrus county chapter of
Red Cruris to be sent to the national
chapter of the American Red Cross
to be used in caring for tin* needs
of the thousands who were mqde home-,'
less in the flood areas of the Mis-,
sissippi River valley.
The Cabarrus county chapter of the
Red (Voss, with Mr*. W. A. Foil as
j chairman, was assigned a quota of
SI,OOO to be raised as a relief fund.
Following the announcement of the
quota to be raised the residents of
the county began to respond with
the result that within three days the
quota was passed. It is thought by
the officials collecting tin- fund for
tin* Red Cross that in all probability
Cabarrus county residents will con
tinue to contribute and make the fund
for the county much larger than the
quota asked.
The city of Concqjal has turned in
$1,122.70; Mt. Fleasant has given
$102.50, and Kannapolis has sent in
$156.
“We certainly appreciate the re
sponse that we have received from
the residents of Cabarrus county hr.
making this drive to provide money
to care for the needs of the people
of the flood stricken district of the
country.' *' one of the Red Cross chap
ter officials said today. He stated
that according to reports, from the
flood areas carried in the press that
the number killed and made homeless
was getting larger each day and that
the money contributed here would be
put to use where it would do the most
good.

Forest Fire Losses Big in Other
States.
I Extremely bad fire conditions in
| tlie forests of Eastern United States
affected other slates in as great pro
portions, as they did North Caro
lina. according to reports of various
slate departments:
I’ennsylv.-uiia. one of the nrst
.slates to recognize the importance
!"f the protection of the forests and
which also has,one of the largest and
i most proficient forest services re
ported fire damages of $1.]56,42ti.(i5
! for 1926, tlie worst year known dur
ing the period of records available
here.
Du:' g the same period there
were 1 irted damages amounting to
$1,133,151 in the protective area of
North Carolina. IVunsylvunia tqioiit -
$177,358.41 in suppressing these
lues, while there was expended bv
this State only $23,254.42 in the
same work.
Foresters account for the general
heavy toll of forest fires as the. ex
treme dryness of the weather during
tlie year. As a resu't of this condi
tion, making .the woods' more Mincrn
tible to flames, the same average j
muses naturally resulted in a larger
number of fires. The aim toward
which the various forest services are,
working s the elimination of fires ex
cept through natural causes and a
minimum area and dainuge affected
through the destroyer of forests.

Game Slow But Good Brand 1
of Baseball Played.—Lo-'
cal Team Goes to Char-[
lotte For Game Friday. j
By JOE PIKE ,
In it slow but well played game, j
the (.'uncord High., defeated the Wine- j
eoff Highs on Webb Field to the tune j
of 3to 3. The Wineeoff team as a 1
whole looked very weak in the outfield '
and let several go through that went i
I for runs. Stone played a very good '
game at shortotop and, Misenlieimcr |
pitched extra good ball, striking out j
ten men.
The Concord Highs seems to know i
nothing about the defeat column. They
have won eight, tied oue and lost j
two. The team is hitting everything ;
that comes over the platter and the
majority of them are going for extra ;
base hits. Two home runs by Coch-!
rane and Melebor and two base hits j;
by Kestler and Duke were mainly re- •
sponsible for WineeoffV defeat. Black-1
welder is still out with an injured j
shoulder and Hunter did very well fori
the first time in the catcher's box. j
All pitchers are'in extra good form
and Irvin was very effective yester
day.
The Highs will journey to Charlotte
Friday to connect up with the Char- j
lotte Highs for the district champion-*
ship of the state championship. JVith .
the team working as it has, Charlotte
should not be allowed a smell and we
all hope that they will not. The
winner of this district group will more
than likely determine the western
champion and that is a great honor.
