McLendon campaign
In Its Fourth and Last Week
—Great Congregations At
tending.
The McLendon campaign is now in
ite fourth and la«t week and the inter
est seems to grow and increase as the
meeting draws to a close. Great crowds
of people from Lee and adjoining coun
ties have orowded into the big tent
at every service during the past few
days, especially the night service*.
Great congregations heard Mack preach
three powerful sermons Sunday. Per
haps the largest congregation that has
attended any service since he came to
Sanfordj heard him 8nnday night.
There were something like 4,000 peo
ple crowded in and around the tent.
Nothing approaching it in the way of a
religious gathering has ever been wit
nessed in this part of the country.
Men and women sat and sweltered from
the Intense heat and seemed to never
grow tired of bearing Mack blister,
peel and dynamite them for their sins
and shortcomings. Mothers travel
many miles with children in arms to
hear him preach and appeal to the peo
ple to become Christians and live right
in the sight of God.
One of the ablest sermons that the
evangelist has delivered since opening
his campaign here was the one Sunday
afternoon on “The Second Coming of
Christ.” It would help every parent
who has the training of children to
hear that sermon. In this day and
time when there is little discipline
in many homes parents need to be re
minded of their duty towards their
children. The sermon at night was
on the question asked by Pilot, “What
then shall I do with Jesus which is
called Christ.” At the conclusion of
the sermon many went to the front and
by taking the hand of the evangelist
indicated a desire to lead a better life.
Rev. Sylvanus Betts, of Raleigh, who
was present, made a short talk endors
ing the work of “Cyclone Mack.” The
evangelist's father, Mr. Thomas A.
McLendon, of Bennettsvllle, who was
also present, met many of our people.
Mr. McLendon commented upon the
fact that Sanford had met all the ex
penses of tne campaign in a shorter
time than any town in which he has
held a meeting. The expenses were
$1,800 A committee of both men and
women from all denominations in the
town and surrounding country, was
appointed to solicit funds to make up
a purse for the evangelist. The oen
traloomn^ttee Is^as follows: Messrs.
to the evangelist himself.
The last service fOr cdored people was
held Monday night. Many white peo
ple, as well as a great throng of colored
people, attended. The colored choir
rendered splendid music.
Friday will be “Farmers’ Day” at the
tent. Farmers’ day was held last
week, but as the bad weather kept
maiy from attending, it was decided to
give them another chance. Farmers
are invited to come, bring their dinner
and stay all day. There will be three
sermons, at 11 a. m., 4 p. m. and at
3.30 at night. The campaign will close
with three sermons on Sunday and Mc
Lendon will go from here to Wades
boro where he will hold a meeting.
Mr. Frel R. Seibert, the tent man,
has sold a large number of hymn books
and copies of the evangelist^ sermons
since coming to this place. He has also
had a “big run” of a booklet entitled,
“Rescue the Perishing,” of which he
Is author. It is a very valuable pub
lication and Bhould be in every home.
On Tuesday night Maek preached
his famous sermon on “Whatever Goes
Over the Devil’s Back Will Gome Un
der His Belly,” to men only, and at the
same hour Mrs. C. L. iSteidley spoke
to women only in the Methodist church,
it is estimated that about 2,500 men
beard the evangelist preach. It was
by far the largest congregation of men
that has ever assembled in Sanford.
One could not fail to note their great
desire to hear this message. When the
rain falling on the tent made it dif
ficult to hear many moved up closer so
as to oatoh every word of .the sermon.
The scripture text was the 7th verse
of 6th chapter of Gal. “Be not deceiv
ed, God is not roooked; for whatsoever
a man soweth that shall he also reap.”
It was one of the most scathing denun
ciations of sin and vice ever heard and
mnde a deep Impression on all present.
When Mr. McLendon had finished his
sermon several hundred men, lawyers,
doctors, business men, farmers and
others pressed forward and by shak
ing his hand pledged themselves to
live better lives, following are a few
quotations from this great sermon:
You very often hear a man say,
‘•It Is nobody’s business the way I
live.”. Then, I say he is the most con
temptible, low-down reprobate that
ever had brains rotten enough to con
oelve such a statement, and lips vile
eoough to utter.
zuu mean w uy tux is is nutxxly i
business that I am a dirty, contemp
tible, Uoentlous, leprous libertine? You
mean to any that It Is nobody’s business
that that woman Is selling her purity,
virtue and womanhood and spreading
disease and death-over the land? Do you
mean to say that ltlt nobody’s business
that I am a gamble? or drunkard? ^
.You say, "It I am' •alitaed with my
Ufa and the manner In whloh I live,
why do you want to step In and Inter
fere' with my personal liberty?’’ In
these days one hears a good deal about
"Personal Liberty”. These are flae
mouth-ailing wordy and. they do cer
tainly sound Srei rate. Persona! liberty
Is not personal lloense. I dare not ex
trolee personal liberty, ltlt Infringes

BALEIOH LETTER.
Senator Simmons and the Can
didates tor Governor—The
State Fair ThU FaU Will be a
Great Success.
By Maxwell Gorman.
Raleigh, N. C., July 29.
It develops here that "either
through design or in an excuse
3f zeal tor another candidate,
some newspaper writers are
muddying the political waters of
North Carolina with respect to
the candidacies of the three
most excellent democrats and
able men now in the race.”
The above statement made to
this writer today refers to the
attitude of Senator Simmons and
what certain writers are pleased
to term the "party machine,”
prompted by a recent statement
by Senator Simmons carried in
Washington letters to North
Carolina newspapers.
It is explained that the alleg
ed "interference” by the Sena
tor, consisting of the announce
ment that he still favors Mr.
Morrison for nomination in the
primary, was made necessary
because of widespread reports to
the contrary; that Senator Sim
mons, because of his long per
sonal and political friendship for
Mr Morrison, did not think such
an erroneous impression should
gain currency among North Car
olina Democrats without a state
ment of his true feelings and
position.
Lieutenant Governor Max
Gardner was in Raleigh a few
ago. He neither showed nor
expressed any bitterness con
cerning Senator Simmons’ action.
ie declared his canvass was
irpceeding satisfactorily and
hat he expected to win in the
irimary.
Mr. Morrison, who was here
ast week, expressed confidence
n the outcome. Mr. Page has
lot been here recently, but his
riends say he will make a great
■ace.
The burning of the grand
itand at the state fair ground
•eesntly will not interfere with
ihe accommodations for the com
!ort of those attending the fair
in October. In fact, it is planned
to increase seating capacity of |
the bleachers and some buildings
ap aa to provide for more than
proof structure, and while it will
not be practicable to complete
the construction of such a build
ing within 3 months, temporary
provision to an ample extent
will be made before the 3rd week
in October when the great state
fair begins. As this will be the
first fair in two years, the peo
ple, tbe many thousands of peo
ple. wb© look forward so eager
ly to this unequalled state re
union. are hungry for the next
event.
Secretary Pogue . and Assist
ant Denson and President Horne
are warranted in the assertion
that the biggest attendance in
the history of North Carolina
will come to Raleigh this year.
They are therefore bending every
energy to make this event the
most stupendous and meritorious
ever pulled off here.
The United States government
will have a fine exhibit, includ
ing war trophies, and the great
est exhibits ever made at a fair
by the agricultural department
will be made by the state of
North Carolina here this year at
the state fair.
