ELECTION BRIEFS.
The first Congresswoman in the
United States is Miss -Jeanniette
Rankin, Republican, of Montana.
No one has said that she is young,
pretty and rich.
Last week it seemed that North
Carolina had elected a solid Demo
cratic Congressional delegation, but
since, up in the Tenth, Congress
man J. J. Britt appears to be near
reelected. The board of canvassers
of Buncombe meets today to declare
the result.
Oat in California the Republicans
hoped to secure some electors, but
the recount shows quite a difference
between the lowest Democrat and
the highest Republican with the
margin against the latter.
In Orange and Randolph counties
the Republicans elected their county
tickets by small majorities.
In all but four States President
Wilson received more votes than he
did four years ago. In many of
them many thousands more.
The House of Representatives in
Congress will be exceedingly close.
Neither will have a majority of
more than one or two.
The Graham Tribune, our genial
little neighbor, failed to come out
last week to tell the result of the
election. THE GLEANER trusts it
will not abandon its weekly visits
just becauae it lost all itacandidates,
save one in the County, District,
State, and National elections last
week. It has the conaolation, at
least, of knowing that for a while it
waa not the only one scared about
the result.
The "sports" have been paying
their election bets. Some were
Larder hit than others —depending
on their gam en ess, judgment or in
formation, or tho lock of them. We
have heard of one man in the county
who staked his home, hia automobile,
all hia other elfecta—and lost.
Oa our first page we publish some
very interesting election figures.
From the tables can be seen how the
Presidential vote was four years ago
aa compared with what the result
waa on the 7th inst.
It ia proved by the election last
week that New York is not necessary
when it comes to the election of a
President. The same can be said of
several other States with large elec
toral votes.
State Control of Quarantine Dis
eases.
State Board of Health Bulletin.
In describing the management ol
contagious diseases, as scarlet fever,
Infantile paralysis, measles, etc., In
the rural sections of North Caroli
na, in the past, chaos is the woro.
In only two or three counties of
the State, except the counties hav
ing whole time health officers, has
there been any effort at control
worthy the name.
With population increasing. com
pulsory school law, and increasing
attendance In the schools togeth
er with the lengthening school term
makes it an Imperative necessity
that there be systematic control of
quarantine. The older a child Is
before having messles, scarlet fe
• ver, whooping cough, or other so
called diseased of childhood, the
better its chance for recovery with
out complication.
One of the best means at hsna
for reducing the death rate in
North Carolina from this class
of diseases is the enforcement ol
an effective quarantine. Such a
systematic control should spply
with equal force to Cherokee as to
Durham.
Outside of counties having whole
time health officers the only possi
ble system for uniform control of
quarantine must be through the
central agency of the State Board
of Health.
If the next General Assembly will
grant to the State Board this priv
ilege and the means of discharging
the responsibility that goes with
it, then for the first time In the.
history of the State the people may
expect a safe and uniform attempt
at protection that protects from
the mountains to the Sea.
An indiscriminate massacre of
nearly 100 women, children and
Carranza soldiers, who were trav
eling on a train near Contreras,
State of Morelos, Mexico, which
waa attacked by Zapatr followers,

University Lecture Courses-
Cor .of The Gleaner.
Chapel Hill, N. C., Nov. 13.
Within the next month several
noted speakers will come to Chapel
Hill for lectures at the Univeeity
and at least one important con
vention will be held here. On
Wednesday night of this weekrthe
second Beriea of lectures ou
"American Citizenship" will be
bepin by.James A. Macdonald,
editor of the Toronto (Canada)
Globe. Prof. George B. McClellan
of Princeton University delivered
the first series last year. This
lectureship is supported by funds
given by the heirs of Sol and Her
man Weil of Goldsboro, and, like
the MeNair series, has become
one of the big events of the col
lege year.
Mr. Macdonald will deliver three
lectures on "The North American
Idea." On- Wednesday night he
will discuss "The North American
Idea in the American Republic;"
on Thursday "The North Ameri
can Idea in the Canadian Domin
ion" will be his theme; iu the last
lecture he will consider "The
North American Idea aud Ameri
ca's luternationisui." Dr. Mac
donald's fame as a lecturer bolh
iu his own country and the Uulted
States will make these lectures of
national import, especially at this
critical time in the nation's his
tory.
The MeNair Lectures, which
come in February, will this year
be delivered by Hugh Black, now
of the Union Theological Semi
nary, New York, but formerly of
Edinburgh, Scotland. Besides be
ing a famous writer, Dr. Black is
usually regarded as one of the
two or three biggest preachers in
the world. lie has always drawn
immense crowds in New York
City since he began to inake bis
home there. These lectures are
concerned with problems of reli
gion, philosophy and science. Dr.
Black's subject* will be announced
later.
The coming Newspaper Insti
tute at the University, Dec. 7-9,
is already being much discussed
by the newspaper men of the
State, and there are many indica
tions that this gathering will be a
big success both in numbers at
tending and the value of the dis
cussions to all professional jour
nalists. The first session will be
held ou Thursday, Deo. 7, and
the convention will close on Satur
day morning. Out of State speak
ers will be Walter Williams of
Missouri, Talcott Williams of New
York, Don Seitz, business man
ager of the New York World, and
ex-President William Howard
Taft. Such general problems will
be given attention as The News
paper and the Community, News

of the News and Observer, H. B.
Varuer of the Lexington Dispatch,
Mrs. A 1 Fairbrother of "Every
thing, J. Coffin of the Raleigh
Times, and Roger StefYan of the
Durham Sun.
This meeting is for all newspa
per men in the State, not merely
tnembers of the State Press Asso
ciation. The University will pro
vide entertainment and look after
arrangements for the meeting. In
doing this, it is merely carrying
out in a new field the work of its
extension department already be
gun in other directions. The
meeting will incidentally give an
opportunity to many of the editors
of the State to visit their State
University for the first time.
A rather important course of
lectures for the advancod students
of the University will begiu on
Nov. 20. Prof. J. W. Spingaru,
formerly Professor in Columbia
University, will condnct this
soninar.

Hawfiekb and Spring Community
Fairs a Success.
Notwithstanding the low land
ing skies and the threats of the
weather man, the Hawfields ami
Spring Community Fairs were
well attended and were a success,
bespeaking comftiunity co-opera
tion and progress Xor these com
munities. *
The Superintendent mid the
Supervisor went to Hawfields late
in the afternoon the day before
the fair, to aid in systematizing
plans for the entry, etc. It was
beautiful to see the co-operation
that was manifested there that
afternoon. The directors of each
departmeut of the fair, together
with the other members of the
committees, were at the school
building arranging end making
ready for the exhibits on the fol
lowing day. You could see the
spirit of wholesome rivalry as
each department went abont to
excel in the attractive arrange
ment of the articles exhibited iu
his department.
All the departments deserve
special credit. If one were to at
tempt to tnont'on the department
that made the best display, in
every way, I fear he would find
himself at sea. *-
The Depart input of Field Crops
and Garden Products were such
that would vie with the State
Fair. The corn exhibit was not
to be excelled.
The exhibit of Orchard Pro
ducts was such that would make
one look wistfully on.
The Live Stock exhibit showed
no lack of interest in this depart
ment, however, had the weather
been more favorable the exhibit
would have been larger and more
completi.
The Poultry exhibit showed
that the community is awake to
the profl'ableness o(„ pure breed
poultry. The excellent arrange
ment of this exhibit displayed to
advantage the beatiful birds
shown.
The Poultry and Dairy Depart-'
inent and the Sewing Department
for both girls and women had at
tractive displays of good things
to eat, tempting canned goods
laid in store for winter use, and
pretty dainty things for the home
and wardrobe. The exhibit in
cooking by the girls of the Do
mestic Science Class was excellent
and showed the efficiency of the
work done in that department
this year.
The write-up would not be com
plete without making mention of
the splendid school exhibit that
occupied a prominent place in the
exhibit hall.
At Spriug the displays iu the
different departments were very
good. In the Departmeut of
Manual Traiuing a couvenieut
fruit ladder wasshown, also home
made butter mold. We would be
glad to see more interest manifest
ed in this department.
On entering the girls' and wo
men's department many neat,
beautiful and delicious things
greeted the eye. The odors from
the chicken pie aud the other
templing eatables would make one
wish that he had been so fort unate
aa to have beeu judge. There was
a full display in sewing and an
elaborate display in embroidery
and crochet, all of which indicated
that ,"Excelsor" must have been
the motto of these departments.
After the aerviug of a picnic
dinner the comparing and the
judging of livestock, was the ob
ject of iuterest to the owners and
to the on-lookers. The exhibits
of buggy horses and drivers was
next on the program. This was
followed by a loot race by several
of the girls of the community and
by other athletio performances.
As Saturday, Dec. 2nd cornea in
the same week of Thanksgiving
Day and as some of the teachers
want to spend the week-end at
home, it has been decided to move
the first group meeting for teach
ers up from Dec. 2nd to November
25th. tot every teacher take
notice of this change. The pro
grams will be sent out in ample
time for Novenber 25th instead of
December 2nd.

Ram. I, 16—Commentary Prepared by
Rav..D.*M. Stearna.
After carrying three months at Malta
another ship from Alexandria, which |
had wintered In the tale, waa Bailing
for Italy, and on that the; departed
and reached Italy-ln safety, remaining
three days at Syracuse and seven days
at Pnteoll on the way. No donbt the
gospel was preached at both places,
but at the latter place there were be
lievers, and the fellowship must have
been very helpful to all. It would be
a great evnnt for the brethren at
Puteoll to hear from those who bad so
recently come from Jerusalem*4hid to
hear Paul tell of his missionary tours
and rehearse all that God had done by
htm and all that he had suffered on his
tours at Jerusalem must have thrilled
an assembly of believers and Inspired
them with greater seal for God and
his kingdom.
The brethren at Uoine, havlug heard
of Paul's arrival In Italy, came out to
meet him as far ns Appll forum and
the three taverns, aud, having wel
comed him und encouraged him, they
returned to Rome together. I some
times use this Incident as suggestively
Illustrative of our meeting the Lord In
the air and returning with llim when
He shall come to set up Uls kingdom.
Jnst the meeting and returning—l have
no other thought of any analogy In the
Incident (verses 11-15). Another hand
ful of purpose seems to have come
Paul's way in his being allowed to
dwell by himself with a soldier that
kept him (verse 16). That soldier mußt
have learned mflch of Jesus Christ, for
as Paul talked to him privately It was
like pouring water Into a bottle rather
than throwing It at a lot of bottles.
Our Lord spoke more than once to
audiences of one, as in the case of
Nlcodemus and the woman of Samaria.
Having called the chief, of the Jews
together, Paul explained to them why
he had come to Rome as a prisoner,
adding, "For the hope of Israel I am
bound with this chain" (verses 17-20).
There is only one person who Is called
the hope of Israel or the hope of the
church, only one In whom there Is any
hope for either (Jer. xlv, 8; xvli, 13;
Joel ill, 16; I Tim. 1, 1). ills coming
for us is our blessed hope, and His
coming with us In glory- will prove
Him to be the hope and Saviour of
Israel as a nation (Tit ti, 13; Isa.
xrv, 8, 9; Zech. xil, 10; xill, 1). The
brethren at Rome said that they had
never heard anything against Paul,
but tbey would like to bear what he
thought of this sect that was every
where spoken against. A day having
been appointed, many came to his
lodging, to whom he testified and ex
pounded the Scriptures of Moses and
the prophets concerning Jesus and the
kingdom of God, from morning till
evening (verses 21-23).
As they listened to him some believ
ed not They could not agree and had
much reasoning among themselves,
which led Paul to turn to the gentiles
with the good news, quoting to the
Jews what the Holy Spirit had said by
Isaiah concerning them hundreds of
years before in what we call chapter
vL These sayings of the Spirit through
Isaiah concerning Israel's blindness
and hardness of heart are quoted in
Matt xiil, 14, 15; John xil, 39, 40; Rom.
xl, 8, as well as In onr lesson. Jere
miah and Ezeklei were both told that
they must expect opposition and that
their message would not be received
by many (Jer. 1, 17. 19; Ezek. II and
111, xxxlli, 31). The apostles also were
told that they were sent out as sheep
in the midst of wolves and might ex
pect to be hated, put out of the syn
agogue and killed (Matt, x, 16-28; John
xv, 18-21; xvl, 1-3). The most that we
can aim to do In this age is by all
means to save some (I Cor. lx, 22), for
we are nowhere taught that the world
will ever be won to Christ until Israel
shall have received Him at nis coming
In glory, and then when the glory of
the Lord shall have risen upon Israel
and shall be seen npos ber the nations
shall come to her light and kings to
the brightness of ber rising.
Paul continued to preach the king
dom of God and teach those things
which concern the Lord Jesus Christ
for two whole years to all who came
to him In bis own hired bouse. There
were many believers, even In Caesar's
household, and his bonds for Christ
were manifest at Caesar's court as well
as elsewhere, and many of the breth
ren in the Lord, waxing confident by
his bonds, were much more bold to
speak the word without fear (Phil. 1,
13, 14, margin; lv, 22). Tills book of
the Acts begins with the Lord Jesus
speaking of the things pertaining to
the kingdom of God during the forty
days between nis resurrection and
ascension (Acts I. 3) and ends with the
record of Paul's two years' testimony
at Rome concerning the same great
topic. In connection with our Lord's
teaching after He rose from the dead,
we need to notice what- He talked
about on the way to Emmnns and also
that same evening in Jerusalem (Luke
txlv, 27-44) and observe that both He
and Paul used the same textbook, the
Scriptures written by the Holy Spirit
through Moses gnd the prophets, for
all Scripture Is given by Inspiration of
God, and holy men of God spake aa
they were moved by the Holy Ghost
(II Tim. til. IB; II Pet I. 21).
