Large Congregations In Attend ance Notwithstanding the Un favorable Weather. The McLendon campaign 1b now in Us third week and "Cyclone Mack” is still doing business under the big tent. The people of Sanford and this section have attended meetings and meetings but never before have they attended a religious meeting that approached in magnitude and Interest the one that has been staged in our midst by the great evangelist from South Carolina. Those who were inclined to criticise him at first, now seem as eager and anxious io hear every sermon he preaches as those who were enthusias tic over his coming. There Is some thing about the man and his mannet of preaching that grips and holds hU congregations as with hooks of steel People will leave their home and gc to hear him preach despite the facl that it may be raining fn torrents. Wc are almost persuaded to believe that they would go to hear him preach.il they had to swim to the tent. Looking out over the big congregation Tues day night while it was pouring rale outside, the evangelist remarked with a smile on his face that he had nevei seen people before who paid so little attention to the discomforts of rain and mud when they wanted to attend preaching. The thing pleased hint Immensely and he showed his appre ciation by saying nice things about the people of the town and community. He said that he had never seen any thing like it. He said that he had rather live in Sanford than any other town that he had been in except Ben nettsville. He predicted that Sanford would be bound to prosper and grow with the spirit our paople show. Maok had nice things to say about the choir and made the statement that it wag about the best one that he had had since he took to the road as an evan gelist. There is no question about the choir being a good one and it is a de light to hear this aggregation of sing ers make music. They have a very McLendon preached to large congre gations Sunday morning, in the after noon and at night despite the lbclem. ent weather. His friend, Judge J. P. Gibson, of Bennettsville. S. C., the home of the evangelist, spent Sunday here. In a short talk before the vast concourse of people, he gave a history of McLendon’s life before and after he was con vented, fie'-tpld of the many crimes that he committed while run a bar room and good people of Bennettsville. He hai watched with interest hie course 1e life since he became a Christian. He said that he was the "biggest wonder’ he ever knew. He told of the esteem in which McLendon is held in his honpe town and said that he could draw a larger congregation in Bennettsville fan than any evangelist that has ever visited the place. He expressed the opinion that McLendon is doing more good than any evangelist in America today. He told how he was using much of tbta money that he is making as an evangelist. He recently gave 15,000 to the Centenary Movement and Is educating a number of boys and girls who will go as missionaries to foreign fields. It was a fine public en dorsement of a man who is doing a great work as a religious leader in the country today. Mack preached a strong sermon Sun day morning on the subject of "Faith." He gave a very clear and comprehen sive definition of faith which is "the counter-sign that will admit you into the inner circle." At the conclusion cf the sermon many pressed forward ind gave the evangelist their hand ln licating their desire to live Christian ives. A number of people have been converted and many re-olaimed since ‘he evangelist began extending the nvltatlon to oome to the altar and leek repentance. He preached again Monday night to the colored people. Many white people attended and en oyed the splendid music made by the colored choir. Tuesday was farmers’ day at the )ig tent. Although the weather was rery uniavorable many farmers and heir families from the surrounding sountry attended services. Some i f the armers brought along their dinner md spent the day here. Mack preach 'd in the morning, afternoon and at light. He also preached to large con legations Wednesday afternoon and light. He preached a soul stirring ermon at night on the scripture text; 'Come unto Me all you that labor and re heavy laden and I will give you Friday night McLendon expects to nlsh ralalng the money to meet the xpenaea of running the compalgn. everybody is asked to go prepared to lelp. -v "Cyclone Mack" will, preach three ermona next Sunday and'will hold hla set aervloe for the colored people on fonday night. He will preach to men nly Tuesday night on the subject: Whatever goes over the devil's back rill oome under his belly. This Is one f his be^t sermons and he is anxious hat every man in the town and com luulty hear It, After leaving Sauford at the close r his four week's campaign, Evange st_ McLendon has decided to go to fadesboro for a month’s campaign Bglnnlng August 10th. He was to have :>ne to Rooky Mount from here, but a has changed his plans and will not »able to go to Rooky Mount for sev •al months yet. It la estimated that the expenses of e campaign here will be about $1,800. ,800 has bass raised CHILDREN CAN'T WC Employment of Children Ci 14 Prohibited In Many LU Modification* May Be Had*? A great many people who ploy boys under 14 aa delivery boya, or in some capacity, are disturbed the State child labor law, in effect. Section 5 of th reads: “No child under the age years shall be employed or mitted to work, in or about connection with any mill, tory. cannery, workshop, factoring establishments, hotel -restaurant, barber bootblack garage, place brick yard, lumber yard, messenger or delivery except in cases and u lations prescribed by mission hereinafter created, Of course it has been u: stood all along that the law hibited children under 14 regularly employed In faci mills, etc., the port being to protect the Child1 ical health, which wc affected by long hours and eli application at some form of woi but to give the child an 9V9 tunity for mental as well as phj ical development. But ih o towns, for instance, many be are employed, during the v tion period, at light tasks, el for a few hours daily, or for tain days of the week. This only gives the boy an op tunity to earn something, teaches him to work, which is; important as any instruction child can have. It is almost impossible a statute to correct pn abuse without working Ship in some cases tl wrong of themselves, to prohibit the exp'.c,. child labor is necessary But it is doubted If if’ intention of the frame] law to prevent childreft at all in any of the mentioned. The Si Welfare Commission, of Dr. E. C. Brooks, Si intendent of Schools, Rankin, secretary 8__ of Health, and Mr. R.F. State Commissioner 0 Welfare, who will look will not be pressed fOr alTegec violations prior to July XS—las' Tuesday. The law plainly givet the commission power (jo make certain modifications and August 5 and 6. in the Capitol in Raleigh is named as the time and place for public hearing as to suggest ed modifications All citizens interested may appear in person or by letter at that time Following the rule of common sense, it is believed that the commission will make modifica tions so as to allow children un der 14 to do a limited amount of light work of an unobjectionable 'character. But nntil the com mission makes modifications, those Who employ children un der 14 in any capacity whatever, in any employment prohibited by section 5, will take chances on being prosecuted. Some who do not believe they are violating the spirit of the law will doubt less take the chance. But it’s a pity the commission didn’t take up the matter of modification be fore the law became effective. Allens doing Home. It begins to look, says a New York dispatch, as though the exodus of 4,000,060 aliens from the United States as soon as emigration restrictions are re moved, might come true. Thirty five hundred aliens, with an es timated average of $2,500 savings each, sailed from New York a few days ago for their native lands—most of them never to return. Many of these men were Ital ians. Each had to be examined to see if he had paid his income tax. Most of them were ship yard workers and munitions men who made big money during the war, in many cases enough to live in comfort and ease in their home countries the rest of their lives American Monuments. Monuments to commemorate the achievements of the Ameri cana in the battle of the Argon ne are being built, details of the work being attended to by differ ent army units says a report from Verdun. A series of concrete monu ments adorned with German machine guns and rifles has beeD put up to mark the front line of a division or to tell of the capture of a certain village by some regi ment. Moat of the monuments are being placed in prominent places near the main roads, when possible, so that they will, terve as guldeposts for tourists risiting the scenes where the Americans fonght their greatest cattle on French soil. The first order from the German [overnment for goods, received at fork. Pa, was for 6;000,000 to 7, 100,000 pounds of tobacco. «J0NE8BOItO NEWS LETTER. Mm.
