Person County Cream, Egg, Chicken Pickup Schedule, June 2, 1926

Person County Cream Schedule. . . Mr. Warren Gives Schedule for Delivery of Cream, Chickens and Eggs. . . Meet Him, and Save Time

I have been asked to publish a schedule of my route in the Courier. Will say I cannot follow any set schedule as it depends on how much produce I get. When I get a lot of cream to weigh and sample, eggs to count and chickens to weigh it takes much time, and when I stop at a place and find but little, it takes but a few minutes. So here goes a schedule I will follow as near as I can, and if I am not on time and you can’t wait, just turn your produce over to someone who will wait and you will get just the same as if you were there.

Mr. Sam Wrenn’s at 7 o’clock

Jim Moore’s at 7:30

Helena at 8

Roxboro at 9

A.G. Riley’s at 10

S.T. Slaughter’s at 10:30

Allensville at 11

T.G. Davis’ at 11:30

J.E. Montague’s at 12

Will Gentry’s at 12:30

Zadock Slaughter’s at 1

Mrs. Jonah Whitt’s at 1:30

Clayton’s Store at 2

Woodsdale at 2:30

Chub Lake at 3:30

Coffo at 3:30

Concord at 4

L.G. Stephens’ at 4:30

Wagstaff’s at 5

Moore’s Filling Station at 5:30

M.R. Wilkerson’s at 6

E.A. Snipes’ at 6:30

I am going to make this schedule and I will stop at each one of the places just long enough to take up what is there, and I will not wait unless you are in sight before I start off. I want to urge you to be on time, but there is absolutely no use in coming two hours ahead of time and have to wait for me.

--W.C. Warren

K.K.K. Invisible at Charlotte Debate on Evolution, May 31, 1926

Charlotte Evolution Debate Tame Affair. . . Probably 150 People Are on Hand to Hear Discussion But Nothing Happened

Charlotte, May 31—The debate here tonight between Dr. T.T. Martin and Howell S. England on evolution was a tame and listless affair. An audience estimated at 150 people heard the arguments.

If any member of the K.K.K. were present, they did not wear the uniform of the Invisible Empire.

The anti-evolution side of the argument was represented by Dr. Martin, a native of Mississippi and representative of the Anti-Evolution League. Mr. England, the opposing speaker, represented the Society for the Advancement of Atheism. He is a lawyer, of Detroit.

The Charlotte Observer said that no Charlotte or Mecklenburg county school teacher could be located in the audience and that the only local minister present was the doorkeeper. He explained he undertook the task largely as a favor to Dr. Martin, a fellow minister. One physician was found among the hearers.

The meeting was held at Lakewood, a suburb of Charlotte.

“The most conspicuous group in the house,” said the Observer’s story, “was a little group of half a dozen newspapermen sitting on one corner of the hall wishing for something to happen, but hardly expecting it.”

Editor's Note: Why reporters were expecting "something to happen," check out the following stories:

Water Supply at State Hospital for Mentally Insane, Morganton, June 1, 1926

Water Conditions at State Hospital

Raleigh, June 1—Survey of the water supply conditions at the State institution in Morganton and in particular at the State Hospital for the Mentally Insane there, has just been completed by Prof. Thorndyke Seville, chief of the water resources division of the department of conservation and development at the request of Gov. A.W. McLean.

It will be recalled that last year the water supply of the State institutions at Morganton became very low during the drought and in the fall the date of opening the School for the Blind was postponed, as the water usually needed by the school was needed to keep the hospital in operation. It was as a result of this condition that the governor asked this present survey to be made.

Prof. Seville reports that already as a result of the dry weather this spring, the water supply of the State Hospital is beginning to show signs of a shortage pointing to the same conditions this summer as last if steps are not taken at once to provide for an emergency supply.

Several recommendations for the acquiring of this emergency water supply are contained in this report which probably will be followed out in the near future, Governor McLean said.

From page 8 of the Concord Daily Tribune, June 1, 1926

Editor’s note: According to AI, James Lilly was likely carrying a cheap .22 or .25 pocket pistol. A poorly loaded. 22 short or a cheap black-powder cartridge could fail to penetrate the skin, especially if the power charge was weak, the gun was old, the barrel was short, the bullet hit at an angle or clothing absorbed the impact. Thanks for the information, Copilot.

Miss Cross, Valde Wilson Draw Perfect No-Trump Bridge Hand, June 1, 1926

Perfect No-Trump Bridge Hand

By International News Service

Asheville, June 1—Such things as drawing a perfect no-trump bridge hand, while rarer than a hole-in-one, do happen sometimes. It was demonstrated by Miss Aislie Cross, an Asheville visitor, while playing a lively game with friends here.

The player who accomplished the coup has as a partner Valde Wilson, and her opponents were Miss Maude Torrence and “Bud” Fisher.

Miss Cross held the ace, king and queen of spades, hearts and clubs, and the ace, king, queen and pack of diamonds. Her partner held the 10 of spades, the rest of the suit with diamonds, and opened the bidding with three spades. Miss Cross took tre bid at five no-trumps, and, it made be added, made a grand slam.

Miss Cross is a native of Richmond, Va.

Editor’s note: I don’t play bridge so I asked AI if “tre” was the correct term. It said no, it wasn’t. I don’t know what was meant. Maybe someone who plays bridge could explain this to us.
