The Fourth of July lias taken on
a new world meaning. In England

world has ever seen.
II Russia shall keep up the pace
shown for the past week and the
other allies shall hold their own as
they have done, we do not believe
that there will be any Kaiserism left
at the end of another 12 months,
notwithstanding some high authori
ties have predicted that tlio war may
last yet five years.
Not so many subma'ined ships in
the past week, but all too many. The
waste is appalling. The allied
powers by combination should sweep
the seas. The task would he hazard
ous and costly, but, successfully
done, would end the most dreaded
and moat destructive engine the
Germans have in operation, and in
the end would save hundreds ol
lives and ships and millions of wealth.
The country has heeded the call

"jifaoomprehonuble, but it means that
an exceaa of 10 bunhela to every

will be produced orer and above tho

STUDENT AND TEACHERS' RE
UNION.
Held at Cross Roads, Patterson Town

Reported by Prof. J. B. Robertson
On July 4 there was held at
Cross Roads school house, Patter

former student* and teachers.
Mr. R. Alec Coble, as chairman of
a local committee, planned the
(lay to have a general reunion of
the students and teachers and
friends at Cross Roads on Inde
pendence day.
Many responded to the invita
tion. People love to go back to
where they spent their school days
and be again where they were in
days gone by and feel again that
old fraternal fellowship of friend
ships formed in youth.
Dr. J. D. Gregg of Liberty, a
former student, and I'rof. J. B.
Robertson of Graham, a former
teacher, were the speakers of the
day.
Roll calls back to the days of
sixty was an interesting feature.
A few answered that were more
than three score and ten. Squire
Sylvester Spoon, who is more than
90, though hale and hearty, was
present and gave some most inter
esting information and incidents
of the good old days of the long
ago. Many others told of thddays
"when I was here." , .
Ij. M. ShofTner prepared a paper
giving a runuing history of, the
school siuce its beginning about
1930 to the present time that was
much enjoyed.
Sqme of the former teachers of
this school and of the county, to
not mention those of more ancient
days, are David Thompson, Eliza

furnished by h local string band
and it was good music, boo.
People were there from Graham,
Ilurlington, Greensboro, Liberty,

The day at Cross 1 toads was a
spleudld occasion, thoroughly en
joyed, and resolutions were passed
to make such n reunion an annual
gathering.
Motor Cars and Revenue.
In 1010 there were 1,007,332
more motor cars registered iu the
United States than iu 1915. This
was an increase of 4,'S pur cent.
The gross total of registered cars,
including commercial cars, was
3,612,990; the number of motor
cycles registered was 250,8-0. The
several States collected iu regis
tration and license fees, including
those of chauffeurs and operators,
a total gross revenue of $25,806,-
309.75. -Of this amount 92 per

directly to construction, improve
ment, or maintenance of th»pub
lic roads iu 43 States, according
to llpures compiled by the oftlce
of public roads of the United
States Department of Agricul
ture.
Iu 1917 the increase will prob
ably be as great as lost year.

Commission to Study Taxes.
Got. Bickett has appointed the
tax commission of five who will
make a study of taxation and re
port to the General Assembly their
findings as recommendation for
changes in the State's system.
The men are Frauk A. Linney,
Republican opponent of Governor
Bickett in the 1016 campaign;
Henry A. Page, Aberdeen, uiein-i
ber of the General Assembly; W.
Vance Brown of AshevUle; J.Zeb.
Green, editor and lecturer for the
Farmers' Union, and James 11.
Pou of Raleigh, attorney.
Four of tiie appoiutees are
Democrats, says the Raleigh cor
respondent of the Greensboro
News, and the fifth is the Repub
lican State chairman. Gov. Bick
ett was not required by the act
creating the tax studying commis
sion to appoint a Republican but
it was his own idea that the mi
nority party should have repre
sentation in sifting the most vex
atious question that the State
government has to meet period
ically.
Bombs Dropped in German Territory.
The allies have been dropping
some bombs on German towns. A
dispatch from Berlin says in addi
tion to bomb dropping near the
front, there were encounters in
German territory. Enemy avia
tors dropped more than 100 in
cendiary bombs in the Westpba
liau industrial region and at other
points, but no military damage
was done, it is added.
A roport from Amsterdam says
that ffve persons were killed and
several houses were destroyed dur
ing the bombardment of. the Ger
man city of Essen, home of the
great Krupp works, Friday night.
A correspondent says bombs were
dropped on the Krupp works,and
that reports of damage inflicted
are conflicting. Estimates of the
number of attackers vary from 15
to 40. The official French state
ment of Saturday night Baid one
French airplane raided Essen,
dropping bombs on the Krupp
factory.
Hopeful of Russia.
The Russian people will futflfi
their tank of establishing a repub
lic, in the opinion of Charles Ed
ward Russell, member, ot tne
American mission to Kussli. Mr.
Russell has issued the following
statement on the observations he
has made in Petrograd since his ar
rival some weeks ago.
"I venture to appeal to my fellow
democrats in the United States ami
Great Britain for a more sym
pathetic attitude toward,the strug
gling democracy of Kussia. 1 ap
peal to editors not to print wild
eyed stories of impending ruin ana
to newspaper readers not to be
lieve such stories if printed.
"There is no anarchy here. There
is only a limited amount of disor
der. The people of Russia under
the most trying conditions in his
tory have given an example of dig
nity and self restraint.
"it is well to face the facts frank
ly, but it is also well to look be

basis of Russian development. Every
phase of the present situation is a
logical and normal outcome of nat

Text of tho f.twon, II Chron. xxx, 1-18.
Memory Vorooo, 11, 12—Golden Toxt,
Hob. xl, 6—Common to ry Proparod by
Bov. D. M. Stoarno.
The story of Hezeklab, oon of Ah**,
who reigned twenty-nine years In Je
rusalem and who did rlgtt In the sight
of the Lord, working good and right
and troth before the Ldrd bis Ood
and doing it with all his heart, ao
that there waa none like him among
all the kingo of Jndah either before
him or after him In tbe matter of
touting in the Lord Ood of Israel (II
Chron. xxlx, 2; xxxl, 20, 21; II Kinga
xvlli, 0), occupies eleven chapters of
Scripture (H Kings xvlil-xx; II Chron.
xxlx-xxxll; Isa: xxxri-xxxlx). When
we consider that these kings were
spoken of as sitting on tbe throne of
the Lord, to be kings for tbe Lord their
Ood (I Chron. xxlx, 23; II Cbron. ix,
8), we see more clearly tbe monstrous
sin of A has and tbe great contrast In
bis son, whose name signifies tbe
strength of Jehovah and which be so
well Illustrated during the greater part
of bis life. Our lesson chapter tells
of the great passorer which be kept
for all Israel from Dan to Beersbeba,
nnd this feast always points us in
three directions—to the nlgbt of the
nation's birth, to Christ our passover
crucified for us and to the rebirth of
the nation in tbe future when they
shall be gathered from all nations and
the passover shall be fulfilled In the
kingdom of God.
•Let us look a little at tbe rest of
his story before we take up the day's
lesson. He began his good reign by
opening tbe doors of tbe house of the
Lord, which bis wicked father had
closed up, and by cleansing tbe temple
of its filtblness, which occupied them
sixteen days (xxlx, 8-6, in. IJe set
the priests and Levltes to Work with
the inspiring and encouraging words
of xxlx, 11, and, having restored the
vessels which his father bad cast
away, he made atonement for all
Israel and bad the true worship re
stored with praises and gladness and
rejoicing (xxlx, 24, 80, 86). Then they
kept the great passover, sending invi
tations throughout all Israel and Ju
dah urging all to turn to tbe Lord
God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel and
yield themselves unto tbe Lord (xxx,
1-®).
, Although gome laughed the Invita
tion to scorn and mocked, there were
' those of Asher and Manasseh and
" Zebulun wlio humbled themselves and
came to Jerusalem to keep the feast
(xix, 10-12). They found such Joy In
- keeping the feast of unleavened bread
r spake to the heart of all the Levltes
r and the priests praising the Lord day
by day and teaching the good knowl
l edge of the Lord, and Hezeklah so
, spake to the heart of all the Levltes,
l that the whole assembly took counsel
to keep the feast seven days more,
which they did with gladness; and
! there was not so great Joy In Jerusa
* lem since the time of Solomon. The
■ praise and prayer were heard In
heaven, the habitation of Ills holi
ness (xxx. 21-27). The contrast be
tween this and the sin and unbelief
and rebellion of Alias's reign helps us
to understand Just a little better the
contrast between Israel's present un
belief and * suffering and the time,
drawing ever nearer, when they shall
obtain Joy and gladness and sorrow
and sighing shall flee away (Isa. xxxv,
10; 11, 11).
After this great pasaover and time
of-rejolclng there followed a cleansing
of the land as far as -possible from
Idolatry and Idols, and the brazen ser
pent which Moses bad made in the
wilderness and which Israel was now
worshiping as an Idol was destroyed
(xxxi, 1; II lyings xvill, 4). Such a
turning from Idols to God to serve
the Living and True (iod (I Thess. 1-0)
was too much for the devil to take
and so he stirred up Sennach
erib and his hosts to go up against
Jerusalem and with great blasphemy
defy the Living God, the God of Is
rael. Hezeklah encouraged his princes
and people with the words of chap
ter xxxli. 7. 8, saying, "With him Is
an arm of flesh, hut with us is the
our God to help us and to flgbt
our battles." Hezeklah, the king, and
the prophet Isaiah prayed and cried
to heaven as they spread the wicked
letters before the Lord and asked the
Living God so to work on behalf of
His people and because of His naflte,
which had been so reproached, that
all the kingdoms of the earth might
1 know that He was the Lord God, and
i He only (xxxll. 20; II Kings xtx, 14-10).
Note the same great desire on the
part of Joshua aud David (Josh, lv,
24; 1 Sam. xvli. 40, 47). That God
may be glorified should lie the one and
constant aim of every believer (Phil.
, I, 20: I Pet. lv, 11). That night the
prayer of the king and the prophet
was answered by T the angel of the
Lord passing Over the Assyrian host
and taking off the earth 185.000 men.
. Bennacharlb returned to Nineveh and
waa slain by bis own sons (11 Kings
xtt, 35-37). The rest of Hezeklah'*
story I* not ao honoring to the Lord.
He became sick unto death and waa
told by Isaiah that his time had come
to die. But he prayed to the Lord
with sore weeping, and the Lord added
to his life fifteen years and gave him
a wonderful algn on the aundial (laa.
xxrvilL 1-8). Bome of bis words on
this occaalon are very memorable.
