ADVENT OF SUMMER TODAY; SPRING WAS VERY COLD AND WET' Summer Season, According to Calendar, Begins Offic ially Today.—Much Rain During June. Summer begins officially today, and the Spring season, ending Tuesday, j goes on record in Cabarrus county as -probably the coldest spring hi many i years'. Particularly the weather has j been cold and rainy during the cur- i rent month. An unofficial record shows that it lias rained at some time each of 17 days of the 22 days of June. Rainfall marked the dying hours of J Spring Tuesday night, and the ad- j vent of summer finds a temperature not at all becoming to the season of 1 the year. The recent precipitation is believed to have overcome the defic iency noted early in the Spring sea son. The rainfall has been plentiful and now fair and warm weather will help much in the growth and maturity of | the cotton crop. PASSES SOME HITS TO THE DANt'ERS Charlotte Preacher Tells His Con gregation About fevik k l4Hle Stepping and Pussy Footing. Asserting that the modern social dance is useless, indecent, immodest and in some respects, immoral. Rev. A. f.. Stanford, pastor of Tryon Street. Methodist church, spoke bold ly against "side-stepping and pussy footing" from his pulpit Sunday night, says the Charlotte Observer. A congregation composed mostly of young people filled every avail able seat in the church auditorium and listened to the denunciation of dancing "as it is indulged in today." "There is nothing wrong in th<> sight of God in our seeking pleasure and the right kind of entertainment,” Mr. Stanford declared. "The Ford did not say that his deseiples shohuld go through life with a long face, "But." he said, "earth pleasure is a delusion.” Churches, school, social chibs and various other organizations were de nounced for permitting "educated feet" to glide across the bail room floors. "IVliat will a preacher say In the time of judgment'who sidesteps and pussy-footsV" he said. "AA’e are sending our youth vto schools and colleges to get themselves educated, but even in church schools emphasis is being placed on the edu cation of the feet." he declared. Mr. Stanford gave a number of objections to the dance, declaring that it was opposed to hygiene, re ligion, and to human activity. “It is opposed to every recognized law of hygiene. It undermines the health and saps bodily strength. It is contributing to the aimlessness and selfishness of the age." he declared. So mall can come home from a danoe and read his Bible in the same consecration.” he said. "If he says he can he is either a superman, or not a man. or a downright liar." "Statistics prove." Mr. Stanford said, "that the dance is one of the main factors in the growing number of delinquent women. "Many men of questionable char acter are found on the ball room floors. Many a wife is jealous when she seen her husband engaging in the dance with uncertain women.” he declared. "If you did not dance with any one except your wife, or husband, or sister or brother, as the ease may be, we wquld be preaching the funeral of the dance within thirty days." Mr. Stanford said. "There is no church that authoriz es dancing, he said. The Catholic and Episcopal churches have opposed it and “the Baptist and l’resbyterian churches are side by side with us in opposing the danece.’’ he added. “You can't jolt# a church and en gage in the modern social dance without opposing your vows at the altar,” Mr. Stanford continued. The dance was originated by the Greeks during the time Greece was at Its lowest ebb morally, the pas tor said. It has passed down the cen turies and accepted by the social world. , “Tlie theory that a young person will be ostracised if he does not en gage in dancing is false and rotten to the core," he said. George Carpentier has been asked to referee the world’s middleweight championship .tight between Mickey Walker and Johnny Milligan, which ie to be held in London June 30. THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE POLICE OFFICERS WILL REPORT ALL ACCIDENTS HERE It 16 Thought That hy Re porting Accidents That the Number Will Be Greatly Reduced. I’olice officers of Copcord along with the officers of the other cities of the State of North Carolina will, begin ning July Ist. make a detailed report of all motor car aeeidents that occur here. L. A. Talbirt, chief of police, said today: The report of the accidents will be made to R. A. Doughton, commission er of revenue, and he will keep a com pete file of all accidents that occur] in the state. Mr. Doughton has expressed the opinion that this law of making a re port of the accidents will materially reduce the number of accidents in i this state and will teud to safeguard ; human life. A letter received by Chief Talbirt I is as follows: The last legislature enacted a law requiring all motor vehicle accidents resulting in personal injury to be re corded in this office. (Section 5, chap ter 122, public laws 1027). 1 am mailing you a supply of forms No. 1000-A which you are requested td use in reporting accidents that come to your attention. This report should be forwarded to this office as early as imssible after an accident as you can | conveniently prepare it. For your information and couven j ienee the motor vehicle bureau will j maintain a record of character and location of the accidents of each in dividual. Upon request you will be ! furnished a report oil any particular driver as to the number of aeeidents in which he or she may have been involved. In eases of arrest this in formation would enable you to ascer tain whether you are dealing with a chronic violator of safety laws or a mild offender. ! It is suggested that you use two of ; these forms in making out a report, j retaining the carbon copy for yoUr i own files. J It is felt that a strict compliance with this law will materially reduce the number of accidents in this state | and will tend to safeguard hunutu life. llt follows reason that a driver will 1 lie more careful when he knows that ! each accident will be recorded against [ him and that the courts have author ity to deprive him of his license to drive an nutomobile and will doubt less do so when shown that lie is (i menace to the safety of the public. DIVORCES LEADING MARRIAGE BONDS IS REPORT MADE HERE Present Term of Civil Court jjl Has Granted Five Divorce Decrees. Divorces In creasing Rapidly. AA’ith five divorce degrees granted at the s]ieeial term of civil court now in session here with Judge Nat A. Townsend, of Dtiiiii. presiding, con siderable interest had been manifested in the rate of the increase of divorces in the county and state. Definite figures on the number of divorce decrees for the county of Ca barrus were not mailable and there fore it was impossible to make a com parison with the number of marriage licenses issued here during the past few years. | It lias been estimated by the United ! States Department of Commerce that divorces are increasing at a faster percentage rate in North Carolina than marriages. Figures for the state were compiled by the Department of Commerce along with those of the other states of the Union. The figures given are as follows: In the compilation for 1H25 the I number of marriages in the State j was 23,337, compared with 23,100 ! for the preceding year. The gain was ] 147 marriages, less than one and onc ! half per county, on an average, and the gain per cent was six-tenths of one per cent. Divorce figures for the State show 1.176 for 1025, roniiiared with 1.468 for 1024, a gain for 1025 of 108 divorces, a iiereentage gain of seven and four-fourths. Thus it is seen that while marriage during the year was gaining less than one per cent, divorce was guiniug more than seven per cent. In exact figures, the gain ill divorce, on a percentage basis, was twelve times us great as 1 increase in marriuge. Some States actually show a de crease in number of marriage, in the comparison between 1024 and 1925. In Georgia where marriuge be came. according to figures, more un popular than in any other State, there were 2,008 less marriages in 1924 than in 1025. and the percentage de crease was 13.5. The District of Columbia showed a gain in divorce of 25.4 per cent. I'tah led the States in gain in divorce, with 22.9 per cent increase Nevada, with the <*ity of Reno, supposed to be a paradise for those seeking divorce, had an increase of only tout anti three tenths per cent.

Tlie Tribune Bureau Sir AA’nlter Hotel Raleigh. June 22. —Despite the fact that Ruicigli will profit more from a State Fair than any other one locality in the state, sentiment here still seems to be luke-warm for the $75,000 bond issue which is to be voted upon July 26th, and upon which the State Fair hinges. For. under the act of the legislature. Raleigh and the State Ag ricultural Society must jointly pro vide $200,000 for buildings before the state will set aside a 200-aere tract for the fair. And in order to meet these conditions, the city of Raleigh iqust authorize a bond issue of $75,- ' (100. Despite tlie fact that the newspa per* and civic organizations are doing all they can to arouse interest in the fair anil get the people interested, Raleigh's characteristic, almost stolid indifference continues to prevail. , “Although the amount of money that would be spent in Raleigh by the people who attend the .fair in one day would probably amount to more than the $75,000 which the city is asked to vote in bonds, a large number pf the people in the city arc still uninterested,” said a member of an active civic club in discussing the fait. “And there seems to bo no way to bring them out of their leth ergy. And it is this very attitude which continues to keep Raleigh, the capital of the state, a small town, in stead of becoming a city.” Unless Raleigh seizes this oppor tunity and makes the State Fair a reality, some other city that is really progressive and not afraid to under take something new, even though it may cost a little money, such as Greensboro. Winston-Salem or Char lotte, will independently hndertake a fair that will become a state fair, whether fostered by the state or not, many believe. ] But the Raleigh people do not seem to be 'worried. For although aH its . population ipy not be Scotch, a ma- i jority of them seem tfc have Scotch tendencies. i I Would Spend fiMD'OOO on Roods. 1 1 .Houston, Miss.; ifunkaJ.—(lNS) ' Chickasaw county will-go to the Ml* 1 July 8 and Vote on a bond issue to J spend $659,000 for improvements on roads and highways in Its boundaries. | i If tis.

June pi.—The Hust lers gained a commanding lead in the , early frames to defeat the Concord Weavers. 9 to 7, here this’afternoon. Both teams walloped the hall un mercifully in the first four innings, after which thi' melee developed in- I to a hurling match between Parker ] and Newbyry. relief pitchers, re- ] spretively, of Statesville and Con- i cord. , ■ , Lefty Bond went to the mound for; the visitors remaining only a lew, innings before he was ejected by the Weaver manager in favor of New- i berry, cast-off liurler. of the Kail-| napolis Towelers. Newberry took the 1 situation well in hand but he was too late to hold down the Hustlers score. ' The locals emerged into the leader ship in the fourth iniiiug, pushing five tallies across the p’ate. Con cord in the third inning had rushed seven markers home, successive hits enabling the Weavers to pile up such a large score. Aside from the home run by Harry Watts, Weaver catcher, the other predominating feature of the ordeal was furnished by Hoard, clever and swift Concord shortstop. Twite this youngster of King Mountain raced back of third base to scoop up sure hits and tcSs out the runner at the fii^t corner- Hoard accepted eight chances without a bobble, and slup ped out two hits out of five times at the bat. Morris who went to the outfield for Concord to fiill the place of Hovis, recently released, collected three hits, one a triple, iti four times at the plate. Morris is a pitch er by profession, but 'he knows how to field ’em in the outergarden. Statesville will play a return game with Concord Saturday at Gibson Park, beginning at 4 o'clock.
