O. G. "Red" Thomas, automobile
salesman of Charlotte, was acquitted
at Salisbury Saturday night of the
murder of Arthur J. Allen, Concord
piumber, on the night of October 25,
19?1. A jury of Rowan county citi
zen deliberated five hours before
reaching a vedict. The verdict ended
a case which has attracted unusual
interest throughout the state. On the
night of October 25, 1921, Thomas
while out riding with ,Mrs. Robert
Lowe shot and killed a man after
ward identified as Arthur J. Aller,
a pluniber of Concord. The shooting
occurred just outside of Kannapolis
and Thomas claimed that Allen had
approached the car in. a threatening
manner and taking him for a high
wayman, he fired in self-defense.
Tbe state set up the contention that
Allen had been killed because of bad
feeling between the two, and that
Thomas had fired deliberately, when
he was fully aware of Allen's identity.
The case first came up for trial in
January, 1922, at Concord, N. C., a
verdict of second degree mpi'der be
ing returned and the defendant re
ceiving a sentence of 18 years in the
penitentiary. An apeal of new trial
was granted and on motion of his
attorneys based on the claim that
their client could not get justice in
Cabarrus county a change of venue to
Rowan was granted^

Meeting of Civic League.
An interesting meeting of the Civ
ic League was held in the school au
ditorium on Mitaday afternoon, pre^
sided over by the president, Mrs. ft,
0, Ritchie, with the league secretary,
Mrs. Hi G. Carrison, Jr., in her
place.
Mrs, K.'l\ Hagley, of Boston, who
i - a number of the jfi|ialatiV6 com
mittcc of the general Federation of
Women's clubs a$ked permission to
ttddll the league on 'the Towner
Sterling bilLand spoke quite eloquent'
ly on that subjeyt.
The president appointed Mrs. N. It.

A format opening of tiu- now play
grounds will be held Friday. warch
2nd,1, and the play-ground committee
will provide a suitable programme for
the occasion. The play ground ap
paratus has been so enthusiastically
received by the children that an ad
ditional supply will be necessary.
It was also decided to give a mu
sical and flower sale the last week
iVr March. Mrs. 0. JL Yatea was
made chairman of a committee to
make all necessary arrangements for
it.
The league voted to place trash
cans on parks and at both railroad
stations in the near futuru.- Thoso
cans are made of sheet iron and trash
can be burned with perfect safety*
The cost i? $.'t.()0 a can and anyone
wishing to get one for their own
premises may confer with Mrs. Good
ale.
The tree committee reported that
all ornamental and flowering trees
are to be planted next fall, after
the paving is finished. Hut the coun
cil is urged to go forward in plant
ing shade trees this spring and
property holders are asked to co-op
erate by assuming responsibility for
trees in. front of their own property.
The league is doing some fine work
on Library park, planting hedges on
the terrace down, the walk, etc.
Neighbors around the park are urged
to become interested in this matter
and keep chickens, live stock, etc.",
from off the park.- The beauty of this
park will enhance the beauty and
value of adjoining property,
i It surrounds the culture of the
town and could be made a place of
great beauty, lyid claim the interest
of all. Let us enlist this sympathy
and interest them, so that the league
will not have to ask for enforcement
of the law in the matter. We take
it for granted that all Camden people
j are interested, in the city's \velfarc,
progress and beauty and, that the mat
i for need .only be brought to their
mind to claim tl^cir active interest.
The Civic League backed by the city
council is doing a great work for
Camden and an invitation is extend
ed to all to join in the march of prog
ress and be with them when they
reach the goal. Always remember
that it is much easier to criticize than
to execute. It is service that we
want, true loyal service, and there
will be no time for criticism.

would pay for it. I told him to fill

looked on with amazement. The pris

Junior Civic League.
The Washington Celebration of the
Junior Civic League in the audito
rium of the Grammar school last
Thursday afternoon, was an inspira
tion to the large concourse of young
citizens and the few grown-ups that
enjoyed the interesting and instruc
tive program so ably provided by the
President, Miss Ernestine Hateman,
and her assistants, Miss Ada Phelps
and Miss Corinne Lewis.
In honor of the occasion the stage
was fittingly dccoVnted in lovely
flowering plants and palms inter
spersed with dozens of Civic league
flags; and in the center of the stage
a portrait of the beloved hero of
childhood, in Chile, as well as the
United States, George Washington,
first in war, first in peace and first
in the hearts of his countrymen. The
favors were tiny hatchets cut out
by pupils. The piano was presided
over by Miss Corinne Lewis and, aa
the first bars of America were play
ed, after a spirited march had set
tled the young folks, every young
voice loudly proclaimed its citizenship.
The following program was then
smoothly rendered, and generous ap
plause was the just reward of each
participant. | ~ ' ' '

Cotton Seed
Seeing the need in this County of a
better short staple cotton and a cotton
that will mature earlier than the varie
ties now planted Fve purchased 1,000
bushels of the Salsbury planting seed for
distribution. These?seed were grown on
the largest cotton farm in the world ? a
41,000 acre farm where the seasons are
, about two weeks later than our own.
?Therefore, cotton grown from these seed
will mature earlier than if seed were
grown in a warmer climate. This cotton
is extra prolific and grows .staple one and
one-sixteenth inches in length which al
ways brings a good premium over the
shorter lengths. As a money crop this
cotton led all others on tests at the
Mississippi Agricultural College.
