Gaston Means denies all the state

The late news dispatches say that

A missionary to China In writing of
the difficulties confronted by the
Christian preacher and teacher, says
that these men and women are con
fronted by a constant backfire of
questions from the alert Chinaman
of today. Among these questions are:
"How do you explain the miracles?
Doyou believe the divinity of Jesus
was from within or without? Explr.in
Jesus' consciousness of divinity? How
can the death of one man really save
anyone else from sin? Are heaven and
hell concrete or abstract and how do
you know? How can you prove it?
In the light of the present situation
In the West, how can you prove the
efficiency of Christianity in develop.
Ing a moral and spiritual civilization?
How about the oil scandal and Chris
tianity? How about modern business
and Christianity in China? How can
you prove Christianity is adapted to
the Chinese mind?" It is very evident'
that only men and women who are
well established in the faith, and so
well equipped intellectually that they
can give a reason for their faith, need
go to China as Christian missionaries.

It Is easily possible that to answer
some of the qijestlons conscientiously
would become exceedingly embarrass
ing. No doubt we need the missionary
work about as bad or worse than
the heathen. Certainly we have less
excuse for doing wrong.

Police J E. Taylor in Thomasville in
April, 1921_ was captured in El Cajon,
California Sunday by Warden S. J.
Busbee. who left Raleigh a week ago
for California upon information that
Peacock was practicing medicine in
a little town near Los Angeles. His
family was living with him.
Extradition papers signed by Gov

The trail of the fugitive has led
agents of the State prison all over
America, to Cuba and to Mexico In
the tw0 years since Peacock swung
himself to freedom from the third
story of the prison here, with five
bed sheets strung together after he

AJTEKK'AN BAR ABROAD
(By W. M. Person)
After leaving Hyde park we went
to St. Paul's and attended evening
services. This is an Imposing struc
ture and one of the historical monu
ments of English genius. Its numer
ous naves, transcrepts and chapels
are like an open book with the names
and monuments o f the men and women
that have so great a place in the an
nals of the past On Monday, aftersee
ing the endless sights of thl^great |
city, the long streets, with buildings
averaging five stories in height, many
of them centuries old. We were struck
with the absence of Jews and Jew
names over the store doors, and'aslt
ed where all the Jews were, and were
told that all of them had gone to New
York. Some of the stores have been
run in the same name and place many
generations. Many of them date back
three hundred years. The De Wars
distillery has been running in the
same place and by the same family
350 years, and making the same erarfp
of Scotch whiskey. No one seems to
want prohibition in London. The hard
est thing to get there is a good drink
of water. "Its water, water every
where and not a drop to drink," but
bars and beer gardens, everywhere
well patronized, at about the same
prices as in the States twenty years
ago. Many of the stone buildings are
black, soiled and dingy with age.
Only one skyscraper In London and
that was built by an 'American and
is called his folly. On Tuesday the
22nd, we went out to Wembley and
isaw the exhibition of Great Britlan
and all of her colonies, the most uni
que and wonderful show ever seen,
covering several hundred acrea. Each
colony is represented. Each one oc
cupying a large and commodious
building of its own. In the Canada
building we saw a life size eques
trian statue ol the Prince of Wales,'
made entirely of butter, with all the
surroundings also of same material
enclosed In a glass room and kept
at freezing point. The most wonder*
ful exhibit of the Flora Fauna fruits,
minerals, arts and science ever seen
in one collection. Landscape paintings
on waving canvass portrayed the na'
tural beauty of mountains, plains and
sea "coasts. A visit to one of the build
ings and seeing the exhibits was just
like a visit to the colony ItBelf. We
were so Impressed that we paid three
visits r to 'Wembley. We gazed upon
the gorgeous beauties of West Cana .
dian mountains scenery, revisited the
wonders I saw in 1922, and then went
to Australia our Antipedes filled with
gold cattle and kangaroos, the land
of fruits where the trees shed their
bark instead of leaves. This is a con
tinent as large as the United States,
with a population of 7,500,000 and one
| third live in Sydney, its princiDal citv.
We then went to 8outh Africa, saw |
the diamond mines of Klmherley at]
work with the native Kaffina and
Zulus. Raw the beauties and fortifi
cations of Cape Town then saw all
the animals that Roosevelt shot and
discrlbed in his African game trails.
We saw the natives of every tribe
from the pigmies to the cannibals,
captured and brought to be shown to
the world. We went then to India and
Bnrmah Ceylon and Hong Kong all
with wonderful exhibits. Then New
Zealand with Its native maorl types,
with a cinema showing the scenic
wonders of the Islands. 1 was more
attracted by the exhibits, of wild
animals from the Ugandl and Mom
boKA so thoroughly described by that
wonderful natural historian Theodore
Roosevelt. On Tuesday night your
scribe with about 100 American law.
yera dined at Cray's Inn, an ancient
centre Und Tmple of the common law,
the Invitation coming from the Trea
sures and Benchers of the First Inns
of Court and tbe President and Conn- 1
dl of the Law Society. At tbla dinner
we met the leaders of the Knglleh and
Canadian bara, and after a most ela
borate fire course dinner, we >11 drank
from a large loving cop to "The Plooa,
Qlorloua and Immortal memory of
Good Queen Bees."

Earl of Birkenhead la one of the
brightest men In England. He haa been
Lord Chancellor, which office change*
with the mtnletry, when the outgoing

made In it lor the past 300 years.
, . Earl Birkenhead was the son of a
blacksmith, and by virtue of bis tal.
ants attained the highest rank in his
profession. None of the English men
We heard were in his class as a clear
thinker and talker.
; -Wednesday afternoon we attended
? garden party at Llncolu's Inn Gard
ens with 2000 present, with everything
to eat and drink that American ap
petites could suggest. When we left,
we knew we hadbeen in the Halls of
our Kin and Friends. That night we
went to a dinner and reception given
bjy the Mayor of Westminister and
mayoress at Caxton Hail ? Councillor
Ettgar Home, J. P. Mayor. After re
ception, dinner and concert we were
shown the Westminister Abby Plate
2W.years old, wlth a large silver lov
lag cup given In 1688 with a lot of
maces, badges and snuff boxes. Then
we., saw and had explained 112 oil
paintings, illustration of the history
ami topography of the city. This was
onjrof the grandest events that passed
in rapid succession during our stay
in this great city. But the greatest of
all *as appointed for Thursday even
ing. We received an invitation in the
following words: "The Lord Cham
berlains is commanded by their ma
jesties to Invite Mr. and Mrs. W. M.
Person to an afternoon party In the
garden of Buckingham Palace on
Thursday the- 24th of July, 1S24 from
4 t*?6:30 p. m. (weather permitting)

hbflbl four acres of silk hats, In fact

The King, Queen and Prince of
Wal? were presented at the pavilion
until 6 o'clock when 'they sthrted to
the palace between Upesof visitors
on each side to see thekn. The King
is a small man about, the size of Dr.
W. W. Staley, and the Queen about
four inches taller, very handsome and
looked a Queen. We were standing
about half way to the palace and as
Queen Mary paired by she come over
and shook hands with the scribe, and
with a gracious air, said she was glad
to welcome me to her country. .
Thursday night We attended the last
of the receptions given at the Grocers
Hall, presided over by Sir Ernest M.
Pallock, propt. K B. E. Grocers Hall
was first founded in 1180 and the pres
ent building Is the fourth on the same
site. At this great reecptton all the
notables wore their decorations. Gen
erals, Admirals, Chancellors, Lords,
Dukes, and Coithts and their wives
all met and greeted us as brothers of
the same blood, as well as brothers
in the law. Hfere wines, brandies and
good fellowship flowed and mingled
until midnight when we bade good
bye to our learned and noble hosts

glishmen, with their accomplishments
are the greatest people on earth. The

FAIRS ?
The one big outstanding point In
fitting any class of livestock for
show Is feeding. Other things are
Important but If animals are hot prop
erly fed and conditioned, no amount of
grooming and preparation will make
them look their best in the show-ring.
It is essential to condition an ani
mal gradually.
Of course no one should have dairy
cattle fat when taken to the fair. This
will not only cause them to look beefy
but may Injure their future usefulness
as breeders. But there Is a lot of dif
ference between fat and proper flesh.
Ing. Dairy cattle should carry enough
flesh- to make Ihem full and smoth
and show at their best, but never fat
enough to look beefy ihd patchy,
Hhow Tour Animal 1
Last but not least, show your ani
mal. Keep It posed from the time you
enter the ring until you tie It Bp
again In th? barn. The Short time you
spend In the ring Is what you hare
worked tor In getting your animal
in condition. Ton owe It to your animal
your breed and yourself as a breeder
to keep your animal showing to ad
vantage all tha time. Never take your
eye from your animal. Concent >-ate on
your job even when the judge is look
ing oVer somebody else's animal.
When the ribbons are placed, lead
your animal from the ring with Its
head up and showing at Its best. Prob
ably some prospective purchaser or
some man who Is Interested has plac
ed your animal higher In his own
mind than did the judge. Don't disap
point the ringside, but lead your ani
mal out with the same confidence you
led It in.
Let's take our exhibits to the fair
this year In the best shapepossible.
Then let's show them for all we are
worth You'll get more out of It than
ever before. B. W. KlI/JORE.Jr.
