J K M A VO . ^ PaOFElKTOH OARL GOEKCH ..... .T Editou WASHINGTON. NORTH CAROLINA, OCT. 16, 1810. ANOTHER REVIVAL. Another religious revival has been started in Washington ami will continue fur two week*. It is being held at the Methodist church and it pomiserx to do much good for our community. There is an interesting: little pamphlet in circulation throughout tin city and it lucidly sets ferth sojue of the things that everv Christian should do toward bringing his fellow men to salvation. One para graph in this pamphlet is especially *4 rung and to the point. I: reads as follows: "Suppose I worn to a blind man unknowingly ap proaching ihe brink of a high precipice, and that I were to frit by without eon corn or any effort to warn or save him from certain death, would I not be as guilty of his death in God's night a* though I had murdered him outright The death of a body, which might have been (but was not) prevented, is a terrible thing, but how about the preventable death of a human soul ? perchance of many souls ? for which God may hold me responsible? If my murder of another's body by negWt i* an unspeakable crime, what shall !*.? said of my murder by neglect of another's soul That paragraph should cause every man ami woman who read it to stop and think. Many of u* are too busy or are too fond of pleas ure to give much though to religious matters, but the least we can do is to attend thesemeetinpf that have for their purpose the salvation of the souls of our neighbors and lend our influence in making the meetings a buccck-. LOSING Ot'R Al'TOMOHILE TAX. An organized attempt is being made to have all of ihe ?pecial auto mobile tax of the state go into the treasury of the the State Highway Commission for the maintenance of j?tate highways. Governor Craig has endors<*l the plan and there i?? much sentiment in favor of it in certain parts of the -tate ? particularly in the west. It i*? pointed out that at present there are far too uian.v varieitcs of road building and road maintenance methods, "almost all bad. and county lines an* often easily discernible by reason of the fearfully bad roads', because of the large number of supervisors ami various methods of road building and road maintenance in the different counties." TUis pmtluiKlv l?C one ?>f tho important Kill* tit lx* brought up at the next session of the legislature, it is up to the citizens of this section of the state to get down behind their representative and their senators and ex press their nmst detenu iner] disapproval of any such measure. If that bill carrier, every county in this part the state will lose their auto fax numey and will not get one penny V worth of help in road building. The bill is unjust to our people and it benefits only those antoists who desire to make long tour* and want to havv "through" roads built, with no attention paid to the local roads. CONTENTMENT AND DISCONTENTMENT. Rev. E. B. Jenkins preached m *trong <<T!in>n at the Baptist church j yesterday morning on the subject i?f Contentment, Mr. Jenkins pointful out that discontentment and dissatisfaction with one's home. j business or surrounding usually meant unhappines* and that the dis contented man wit. not apt to U* a success. There is a time and place for everything and there is alni a time and place for Contentment. If a man lavomes too contented with his affairs, however, the chance#- are that he will never forge ahead in his business affair*. Many of the old men in the country today, who are working for ?mall salaries and have a hard time supporting themselves, are in the positions they hold because they were t< h? contented in their youth. Thtn- probably had positions which paid them a fairly good salary in . those days and they r| id not strive to better either themselves or their positions. One of the greatest obstacles in the way ..f reform in both city and eonntry is this same Contentment. Settlement workers amonjr the rfrjualid tenement district* of New V -rk City have often declared that; the people are opposed to any attempt* to letter 'heir condition- be-! cause of the fact that, thoy are contented with what they have. And the man in the eonntry, who ha* a dirt fb* r in his house, no sanita tion and no comforts. is usually in that fix because he does not rare for better thing*. One of the greatest handicaps in the development of Mexico is the contentment of th? people of that eonntry. If they ran manage to get. enough to eat, that in all they desire. Thev are eontent Ui live like animals and spend most of their time in idleness. But the man who is DISCONTENTED, who "u not satisfied with the position he holds, who want* to lw* something lietter and who is always striving with some fixed aim or ambition in view, ho is of the type whirh comprint the successful mm of our eonntry. INTEREST IN THE BALKANS. During the past week two reports have eomo from the border** <?i Rumania, both of which are of interest to the students of the war. fn thf. first place, the Cermans have claimed a victory over the Ru manian army north of the Red Tower in an inva?ion*i?f Tran sylvnaia. By a rapid flank rmne Von Kalkenhayn cut off thin army and captured the major portion of its supplies, although the bulk of the men succeeded in breaking through the oppr?*ing lines. On the other side of the Rumanian frontier, facing Bulgaria, we remen?b?r the inarch of the Central Powers along the Ilohrudja dis trict. This second report, concern* the cmssing of the Danulio by :i Rumanian anny in the rear of M a ek en son, and between the fortresses captured by the invading army. Whether thin will prove a really j strong column or not is as yet unknown, but the reports are conflicting, j Along the eastern and western fronts there has been nothing of im portance although in general the Allies made slight gains in the west sn*i both si dec alternated with gains along the huge eastern battle line. Macedonia is still quiet ss is also the Italian* Austrian front. T mfcc? rrpvrU minor victories over the Russian- but there is no itn port arwvmit <* than. MM.
