WALSH, Oct.
CoT.-all, whom tt'inay I
ia ireaBlTei fo ssbinit «'tew re-
‘mirks' relative to the Blue Ridge
association that.was held in Big
Ivy church October 19 and 20, by
the Moderator, Rev. David Ro-
ten, the clerk, W. A. Blackburn,
together (with the delegatep of
said church and those from oth
er sister churches; and several
other corresponding delegates
and ministers from different as
sociations who were cordially re
ceived with a solicitation to aid
in counsel. I think they were all
ot one accord in all the trans
actions of associational business
so tar as I know. Of It was such
a thrill to see so many ministers
of the Gospel meet and greet
each other in love and unity. No
big “I's'’ nor little ‘‘You’s’’ but
prefering one and other in har
mony and unity of the spirit.
I’m sure the people in general
enjoyed the association, and the
preaching, by the visiting breth
ren and the moderator tor it was
grand, and uplifting to the souls
of all who have a hope in Christ,
which is an anchor of the soul
both sure and steadfast to those
who will hold to God’s unchang
ing hand. There was a consider
able crowd on Sunday and the
sermons by Brother Hayes and
Brother Roten were so thrilling
and soul cheering that surely
every one present got a foretaste
of the Heavenly gift that comes
down from the great storehouse
that furnishes food for the hun
gry soul, which is peace, love,
joy and happiness.
It seemed lliat the love of
God had filled every soul when
the parting old time hand shak
ing was going on and singing of
the song, “Where We'll Never
Grow Old.” I don’t believe I’d be
mistaken if I was to say that
there was a host of bright an
gels hovering over us while we
all were rejoicing together in
the close of the meeting. The
Bible tells us to “draw night un
to God and he will draw nigh
unto us.’’ Therefore I’m made to
believe when we open our hearts
to Him He will come in and sup
with us, and we with Him. Every
service was closed with a hearty
hand shake and a love feast.
Rev. C. C. Siddon, of Joynes,
and Rev. H. H. Bledsoe both did
c.xccllent preaching, also making
it very impressive on all to dis
charge their Christian duty. Now
in conclusion I will say that it
behooves us all to get in closer
touch with our Lord that our
light may shine before the world
that We may be instrumental in
His hands of winning souls to
Him who gave His precious life
for us all that we m.ay have life
and have it more abundantly.

Davis Faces Trial For
Murder of Sheriff Khnball
Statesville, Oct. 23.—Follow
ing a preliminary hearing before
Squire George R. Anderson, last
ing for six hours, Ralph Davis,
25, Davidson county outlaw, was
held tonight without bail for Ire
dell superior court on a charge
of first-degree murder in connec
tion with the fatal shooting of
Sheriff G. C. Kimball, at a ten
ant house, ten miles east of
Statesville, on August 17.
Solicitor Z. 'V. Long led the
prosecution, presenting evidence
to show that Ralph Davis shot
the Iredell sheriff while he and
two of his deputies were trying
to arrest Davis. The defendant,
through his counsel, Fred S.
Hutchins, of Winston-Salem, pre
sented ballistic experts to shoty
that the bullet which killed
Sheriff Kimball came out of the
gun used by Kimball's deputy,
R. L. Gilbert, holding that Depu
ty Gilbert accidentally killed his
chief.
Solicitor Long advanced the
theory, in his argument, that
Davis probably took Sheriff Kim
ball’s pistol, of same kind Depu
ty Gilbert's, and fatally shot the
sheriff with his own pistol. The
sheriff’s pistol has never been
located since his death, the so
licitor stated.
After hearing all the evidence
and argument, the magistrate
early tonight, found probable
cause, and ordered Davis held
for the November term of su
perior court, without bail.
