before this matter came up. He
had been a student at the Uni
verSity. and went into the life
insurance business last summer.
His explanation was that he and
other agents had collected
money for the insurance com
pany and failed to turn it over
and that when ii came due he
had TO raise some money. He
also used some of ii to pay his
expenses at school last fall be-
fore the matter was discovered.
He IS brother of the man who
was killed by A. G.. Funderburk,

Anson Court Is Repealed

Messenger and Intelligcncer.
Last Saturday the bill to
abolish the Recorders Court
passed the Senate, having been
introduced by MIR. F. E. Thomas
and passed by the House several
days before. 1t VII, become
effective March lst, and at that
time the court will cease to ex-
jst There was considerable,
bSing against the bill in the
Senate, and at one time petitions
favoring the continuance of the
court were circulated in the
county, but the Senate decided
that, in view of the will of the
people expressed at the polls
that the court be abolished, it
could not do otherwise than pass
the bill. There is some talk of
re establishing the court but it is
not thought that this will be
done.
The bill establishing the court
was passed at the 1911 session of
the General Assembly,, while Mr..
I. G. Coke was Anson'S repre-
sentative, and the first session of
the court was held in March,
1911. Mr.. w. f. Brock was the
first recorder, and Mr.. Frank L.
Dunlap was solicitor. The clerk
OF the Superior Court was the
first clerk, but as soon as posi-
bic this was changed and Mr.. J.
A. Little was made clerk. MIR.

in turn succeeded last month by

Bale of Cotton By Mail.

Monroe Journal, Goth
Mr.. 7. L. Love, who carries
the mail on route two from Mon
roe, always has big loads, for he
has to carry all the pouches for
the two big Unionville routes
and the Unlonville postoffice in
addition to his own But the
other morning he had a piece of
mail that made his eyes jump,
and also made his faithful old
claybank horse turn white, for
that piece of mail was nothing
less than a bale of cotton. 4
bale of cotton on a two horse
wagon is load now, but here
was Mr.. Love with his buggy
already sunk to the hubs with
mail matter-and a bale of cot
ton on top of that. The bale
was perfectly packed, with good
bagging and ties, and came from
TalIapoosa, Ga. But-and this
is what saved Mr.. Love-that
bale of cotton weighed only
eleven ounces. 1t was souvenir
of the buy-a-bale movement,
and was sent out by a news
paper.
Cotton pickers need not apply
to w. S. Lee for any more work
this season. His last weeks ex-
perience was enough. He had
some patches that had not been
picked and some darkies wanted
the job, which he gave them,
telling them to 60 ahead and sell
the cotton in the seed and bring
him his part after paving for the
picking. After the job was over
they figured that after they had
sold the cotton and kept all the
proceeds Mr.. Lee still owed them
some. He decided to quit gath
ering right there.
Mr.. James FunderDurK; ss.i vi
MIR. Wesley Funderburk of
Tradesville, died this morning
in Monroe at the home of his
sister, Mrs. George Porterfield.
He had been sick since last June
and had suffered a great deal,
the disease, which was diagnos-
ed both as tuberculosis of the
glands and as cancer was located
in the throat. He had spent
much time in hospitals, both in
Charlotte and Baltimore. About
eight weeks ago he returned
from John Hopkins, where he
had been told that nothing could
be done for him. He bore his
affliction with bravery and made
a brave fight.
The deceased was 33 years old
on the 11th of last November.
He is survived by his wife and
two daughters. He was getting
along we'll and was a young
man of bright prospects before
his health failed. He lived at
Tradesville, about a mile from
the home of his father. The re-
mains were carried home today,
and the interment will perhaps
take place tomorrow morning.

Its Firat Concert,

A new organization called the New

clearly Indicated by the list of its menu
bers as well as by its first programme.
The members are Carolyn Beebe. piano ;

Mandy, double bass William kincaid,

soon, and Josef Franzl, horn. Naturally
the musicians are not all to be assem-
hled in every number. but are to be
draw upon as required by the compost
tons chosen from the great treasury of
chamber music.
The programme comprised Mo2art's r.
fat quintet for piaro. oboe, clarinet, horn
and bassoon Brallms's clarinet quintet
and Wolf-Ferraris "Kammersymphonie"
in b fiat. opus s, for piano, string quin-
tet, flute, oboe. clarinet. bassoon and
horn. These are three delightful speri-
mems of chamber music. The Brahms
work has long been beloved OF musical
amateurs as one of the most beautiful
compositions of smaller type. The num-
Der of works written for various comb!-
nations of a few instruments is very
large and the new body should have no
difficulty in furnishing agreeable enter
talnment,
The musicians above named are all
players of ability and some OF them are

DAMROSCH'S GREEK
MUSIC Is PLAYED
symphony Society Gives Num-
bers Composed for Margaret
AngIin's Production.
CASALS Is THE SOLOIST

The fourth Friday subscription con-
Hall Yesterday afternoon brought with
IT a novelty In the shape of excerpts
from the Incidental music composed by
Walter Damrosch for Margaret Angiin's
production OF Eurlpides's "Iphigenia in
Aulis' In the beautiful Greek theatre OF
the University of California at Berke-
ley last summer. The portions here
yesterday were the prologue, entrance
OF maiIeus Of Chalcis. melodraina and
dance c'Achilles racing the chariot'),
two brief melodramas, hymn to Artemis.
lphigenia's farewell. and the miracle and
battle song OF the Greeks.
The vocal parts. the prologue and
hymn TO Arieinis. were sung 10y Merle
Alcock, mcz2o-soprano. and the cello
obligato in the farewell was played By
Pablo Casals, who was the soloist Of
the concert. Mr.. Damrosch's treatment
of the music did not include any at
tempt to reproduce Greek melody except
In the ceremonial episodes where he en-
ployed the scale corresponding TO our
common major scale with the fourth
tone sharpened.
His chief endeavor was TO provide
appropriate and expressive settings for
incidents In which action might well lie
accompanied BY music and others which
invited song. Wisely retaining from
attempting too much. Mr.. Damrosch has
made some picturesque numbers. The
prologue has dignity and the chariot race
ne necessary riotous movement. The
two short melodramas are effectively
Instrumental for flutes. clarin-ts and
harp. The hymn to Artemis is very
happy III It's communication of the mood
of the text. while the cello solo is very
well written. and in the hands OF the
c~onsunmate artist who played II was
one OF the most satisfying parts of the
music.
The Instrumentation IS generally good
