Mack Will Fight Here On Thursday Night; Big Bout Returns Fight fans of Shelby are assured • big evening Thursday night, Sep tember 23. In addition to having an interesting fight card of their own radio concert of the Dempsey Tunney championship bout will be broadcast at the ring side. Arthur Sides, matchmaker, an nounces that Bennie Mack, well known fighter, will meet Kid Coats, of Charlotte, in the main bout at the old John M. Best stand on South La Fayette street.

Bennie Mack has appeared in one bout here and is a big favorite 9* •SSSH? with fans of the squared circle. Mis opponent for the evening’s enter uinment comes with a tine record and is confident of kayoing the speedy Mack—which of course is to be doubted by Shelby fans un til they see it. The evening’s bill comes under the auspices of the Cleveland Ath let club and Matchmaker Sides guarantees every fighter on the card to appear. Nevertheless it will be one time when boxing fans would rather hear it than see it and many of the crowd expected will be there with the big idea of listening in on the radio particulars of the Dempaey Tunney. go. But, of course, while static gets in a few punches ar.d j while there are waits for ringside 1 done from Philadelphia, the boutsi will afford good hetween-curtain' amusement. And Sides says they will be good, radio or no radio. Smoking By Women Is Boosting Prices On Tobacco Markets, Report Declares Raleigh.—That the increase in smoking by women is at least par tially responsible for higher prices i of tobacco this season is a theory j Which is not denied by officials of the Cooperative crop reporting ser vice of the North Carolina and j United States departments of ag-1 rlculture. “Two causes for the great in-! crease in price are (1) increased consumption (smoking) and (2) decreased probable productive < farmer's sales.) The tobacco stocks on hand are much lower than usual,” declares the report on the August mUm in North Caro lina. The good prices, which may or may not be caused by the break ing down of feminine antipathy to the weed that soothes, are partial ly offset, according to the report, by an anticipated smaller produc tion than last year. The report declares that the average yield per •ere in North Carolina will probab ly be from 80 to 00 per cent lower than the average yield of last year. 4; Prices are approximately 36 per cent higher than last year. The Average per hundred pounds on North Carolina markets during at was $24.78 as against an ge price per hundred pounds $18.23 during August 1025. 'otal producers sales during t, 1926, were 9,983,510 or almost two million less than the total produe sales in August, 1925, which to 11,812,188 pounds.

County Boy Goes Good With Deacons Wake Forest—The most phenom inal rise of any man on the Wake Forest football squad is accredit ed to one Hal Bridges of Lattimorc Bridges, until spring practice some six months ago had never played any football at all. Deciding that some expedience along this line would be valuable to him in obtain ing a job teaching, he went cut for the spring try-outs. He developed and when the final practice game of the season took place Bridges was on one the regular guard pos sitions. Now he is a regular guard on the second team, and seems to be going strong for a berth. Coach Baldwin is well pleased with the showing made by him and evi dently plans io use him some during the year. They Left Her Miss Etta came over with her holiday order: “I’m after some j more of your fine chickens, Aunt | Lucy.” But the old lady emerged from the cabin and hung over the fence. “Why law, Miss Etta! Didn’t yo know dere was a preacher’s confer ence down this way ? I ain’t got one chicken left. Dey’s all done enter | ed the ministry.” ! - III THE MOVIES - The Webb theatre is advertising today two shows that are boosted as the best of the day—“Subway Sadie’’ and “Lady Windermere’s Fan.” Of these two “Subway Sa die,” which is a comedy featuring Charlie Murray, Jack Mulhall ar.d Dorothy MaeKaill is now playing to packed houses in New York. It is due at the Webb today. It is straight comedy with love interest. Jack Mulhall is the sub way guard and Dorothy McKaiil the strap hanger. He tells her to watch her step, and the fun starts. Women will be interested as an aside in the glimpse the play furnishes into the exclusive New York shops. “Lady Windermere’s Fan” is starred by four players to make the theatre-goer sit up. They are, Ronald Colman, Irene Rich, Muy McAvpy and Berty Lytell. Here are two paragraphs which furnish the keynote of this cele brated drama by Oscar Wilde: Good women may have terrible elements in them—mad moods of recklessness, assertion, jealousy, sin— “Bad women—may have in them sorrow, repentance, pity, sacri fice.” Lady Windermere was a so-call ed “bad woipan.” The Princess has planned a ban ner week for the local fans this week. Read the following list of whnt’s coming: Monday: “When the Door Opens” a James Oliver Curwood story. Tuesday: “Up in Mabel’s Room” with Marie Prevost—a big one. Wednesday: “Pij comacy” with Blanche Sweet and Neil Hamilton. Thursday: Thomas Meighan in “Tin Gods”. Friday: Gloria Swanson in “Fine Manners." That is the biggest week’s schedule the Princess has ever advertised. Practically all the players i scheduled in the performances are local favorites, the greatest of I which perhaps is Gloria Swanson. It will be the first time, by the way, that glorious Gloria, has graced the local screen in some months. Tomorrow’s picture “Up in Ma - bel’s Room” is one of the big pic tures of the time—advertised ev erywhere as a wonderful piece of comedy. It is an A1 Christie pic ture, and as they say in the street, you kfiow Al. Today’s offering “When the Doer Opened” is splendid wholesome 1 drama, featuring Jacquelipe Logan. Harr’s And Wall Will Do Kicking ' ii i Third Grigg -May End Worry Over Line Substitutes.'High Prep For Opening Game ! With only one more week or practice before the opening gain!! J Loach “Casey” Morris is planning j on using E. Harris and the wiry i litt'e Zeno Wail for his kick jpg duties. Gold, hefty full back, will hardly be able to perform in the entire game this week owing to a ! strained ligament, and if he is out j of the line up Harri" a p I Wall ! .vill bo counted upon to get the , puts across the field. Harris, a clever running hack j and also adept at quarter, has de veloped a likely Jacking toe and by the start of the elimination series should be punting with a vim. Walt considered too light as yet for football, will make all tlje backs work to keep him out of a regu lar berth for despite his light weight tho youngster is one of the cleverest performers on Morris’ srmad. He can punt and drop-kick with the best, is speedy and elu ivive carrying the ball and com , bines with it all quite a bit of ! nerve. His value as to skirting jthe ends m close places can al lready be seen, for with his speed to get away and his twistihg, twirling style of running he is unusually hard to stop. In the meantime the high coach has worked cut another solution for his line when substitutes are needed. Billy Grigg. the third of the passing Grigg to wear a Shel by uniform, in last week’s prac tice was shifted to center to re place Gardner,, who was moved to a guard berth. This combination gives the local mentor another way of plugging up in case of ac cidents. With Gold out of the line up in recent practice frays “Shor ty” Whisr.ant has been getting his ■ ,'hance and his drive almost equals i that of Mauney, the year’s find. | Anyway, there’s little use for Shel | by to worry about hackfield men | this year with such a formidably array of speedy and driving youngsters as Tom Kerr, Ed Har* ris, Ralph Gillespie, Mauney, Gold,! Wall, Rippy, Bridges, Lutz, Whis nant, Suttle and others. In the line he has three or four players who are capable of becoming real j hackfield threats. They are Lee, 1 Cline and Moore, but with a short j age of line material it is impos i sible to use them other than in the | line. Provided another substitute com bination or so con be worked out to replace the present line, Morris Phas one of the best elevens of his ^career. Potentially speaking he ! has a hackfield with few equals in I high school football, and his reg , ular line will equal any group of .forwards in the state, but substi 1 tutes on a par with the regular [line are not found. Officer* Needed And Not Nervous Killer* Of Men (Upton G, Wilson in Winston Salem Journal.) The need for a well-trained state police force was never more clear ly demonstrated than in the shoot ing to death, at Raleigh, a few days ago, of J. B. Vickers, escap ed convict, by Rev. George Wood, a so-called deputy sheriff. And while Wood claims that he shot Vickers accidentally, it is not to be forgotten that his gun was pointing toward Vicker’s belly when it went off. Had Wood kept the weapon in his pocket or point ing some' other way, Vickers would still be living. But Wood was a novice at offi cering and naturally he would pull his gun and threaten. That’s the first thing a packleg officer thinks of, the pulling of his gur,. Exper ienced officers know better. They make no display of their weapons until forced to do so. This sticking of a gun into a man’s midriff is no way to arrest him. It merely In flames a man and leads to exact ly what happened in the Vickers case. Somebody gets killed. Often times it is the inexperienced offi cer himself. This time it was the other fel'ow. lo Dcgin with, moreover, ,Vvooo had no business being charged with the responsibility of convey ing Vickers to prison. Vickers was an escaped murderer, a potentially dangerous man, while Wood was e preacher, a man without exper ience in handling criminals. Yet some trustful official gave Vickers into Wood’s keeping and sent the two off to Raleigh. This official, furthermore, whoever he was, should be jointly with Wood for resoo: sibility for Vicker’s death. He set the stage for exactly what happened. It does not appear moreover th-t even ordinary pru dence used. It seems that Vickers might at least have been handcuf fod ah'! fastened in Wood’s ear, but if this was dan" no mention was made of it. Wo"d was a preacher and had do, e welfare work among prisoners, therefore, one is to suppose, he was counted rar>abie rf taking a dangerous crim inal to prison, unaided. Perhaps it was presumed that Vickers would offer no resistance to i dispenser of the g spe! ar. 1 thai this same dispenser of the gosnel "’■Milrl offer no violence to Vickers, Wood hod no sooner reached Ral eigh than Vickers hopped out of the preacher's car ord leered it away from there, with the preach er in pursuit. Shortly Vickers was cornered, what haqqened then is not exactly clear. Reports vary. It has been stated .however, that Wood called Vickers a, “dirty dog” or some such name, stuck his gun in his belly and pulled the trigger. Vickers got something in his ab domen that he didn’t swallow. Wood claims, however that he didn’t mean to shoot Vickers. He was excited and his gun went off. Exactly. It was by no means the first time that an inexperienced officer has let his gun go off. Green officers have a way of letting their guns go off and for novices they manage to make a surprisingly large number of fatal hits. But there is a reason for this. They usually have their weapons pressed aqainst some vital portion of the body of the person they are seeking to arrest when their guns are accidently fired. If they’d be a little more care ful, however, in pointing their guns. Which is precisely the reason the State of North Caro lina needs a trained police force. It is time to quit arming every Dick, Tom and Harry with the ability to slay as they will. We need officers, not nervous man killers who shoot and then make all sorts of infantile excuses for loir.g so. And the officer, moreover, who sticks his gun in a man’s midriff pulls the trigger and then whines out a tale to the effect that he didn’t aim to shoot and is sorry his gun went off, etc., is deserv ing of about as much considera tion as the fellow who sticks his gun in a citizen’s face and com mands him to hand over his noney. New Serial Story Begins Next Monday “The Man Nobody Knows” is the Next Great Serial to Appear in The Cleveland Star. The Star will follow its present serial story "They Never Knew” with one more serious, a story of Jesus Christ a,^ a human being, written by Bruce Barton, a 20th century business man. The Star’s readers being a religious people, this great story shor*4 appeal to them for it is fervent and eloquent, and breathes conviction and sin cerity. Dr. Zeno Wall, pastor of the First Baptist church who has read the new story in book form says it is great and he commends it as a story well worth yo«».- Ume in read ing. There may be thoughts with which some may disagree, but in the main the story is one of the j greatest ever written. Some of the' biggest papers in the United States are running the story now, so The Star is fortunate in securing it for its readers. It would cost you in book form, the price of a year’s subscription to The Star. Bruce Barton’s discovery of Jesus will undoubtedly set every one to intents thinking. It gives the business man who usually walks by the church door, a Jesus that he can understand, that speaks the same language he does today. It opens to others a far deeper, far more intimate view of Him than they are likely to have had. Minis ters of all denominations, prom inent business men and lavmen ail over the country have endorsed the story. Rev. John M. Pearson of Madison Avenue Methodist church, New York city says "Barton has drawn a picture of “The Man” that is intelligible to our people of to day. He has presented Him in such a way as to relate him in His pui pose and work to our times. Get set to start reading this se rial next Monday. The present story “They Never Knew” ends on Friday of this week. You’ve no doubt laughed heartily over the ex periences of Tom Sim’s character*. Carlot Shipments to August 30.

I met Cam MacRae and Dick Gibsor, of Concord on the street Tuesday night. Cam MacRae told me of a speech Pete Murphy made, in western North Carollina, to an audio: ee than was largely Repub lican. He knew the community was deeply religious, and this fact gave him his cue to how to attack the high tariff. “Do you know,” he asked the crowd, ‘"that the Re publican congress has actually put a tariff tar: on your Bibles, while there is no levy on playing cards. Yes, my friends, Matthews, Mark, Luke and John have to pay a tar iff, but High, Low, Jack and the Lame come in scot free!” EXPECT TO TEST 30,000 CHICKENS THIS SEASON Inspectors of the state depart ment of agriculture began inspect ing and blood testing breeding flocks of the state from which baby chicks are sold, on September 1. i his work was started last year in the state for the first time, and more than 12,000 biros were inspect ed and blood tested. It is a very popular work and in great demand. Applications covering nearly 20. 000 birds for this season have been received and it is expected that around 30,000 inspections and tests will be made. The department of agriculture has revised its regulations cover ing this work and decided to as sist in covering the'cost. The to tal cost to tno iiock owner is now 10 cents per bird and in order to keep it at this reduced figure it is necessary for the department to receive the full cooperation of the flock owner. i i;c oioou test which is applied to each bird is for the purpose of determining whether or not it Is in fected with bacillary white diar rhea, an infectious disease that is transmitted through the egg to the baby chick, which causes heavy death late. The disease is very prevalent and causes enormous losses each year. The department believes that this disease can be eradicated by the methods that have been adopted.
