Cabarrus County Commission Spat Ends Quietly After Shout
Debates between rival street delegation members during a county meeting devolved into a cross exchange as an attorney defended a side. The scene ended without damage. In Cherokee County a schoolhouse blaze killed one boy and burned a girl, with others shocked. The interior was largely destroyed and escape seemed miraculous. A separate local quip references a phrase about heaven in a transcript discussion.
