THE RELATION' OF CHRISTIAN!
TV TO THE WAR
By Roy Cox).
We depended upon Christianity to
prevent wars. It was natural enough,
we thouc-ht. for heathen nations to
m in warfare, but araone Christ
iaa people it was impossible. We had
permitted ourselves to cherish the de
lusion that Christian fellowship
would cause nations to beat their
swords into plowshares.
It ia iuite natural, then, that we
should be shocked that Christian re
ligion instead of being invoked as a
preventive of war was invoked as an
joani ration for it.
The leading nations on each side
ia this titanic struggle feel sure that
God is with them. The Uennans ieei
that because God is on their side it
will be easy for them to crush the
enemy. Emperor William counts sure
It on the divine aid to carry uie
Fatherland to a righteous victory.
The French, the English, the Rus
sians and the Serbians are equally
sure that God is on their side and
that they are fighting for Christian
eivilizfttion against German militar
ism. "God is with us" they say,
hence there is no other possible out
come than the crushing defeat of the
Germanic allies.
The Turks and the Japanese are
ot such Dharisians as the Christians.
Tfcey are fatalists fighting on their
own responsibility and accepting
whatever may come as the will of the
Almighty.
Our conception of God will not per
mit us to believe that he will give
victory to the one side and wreak
venc eanee and destruction on the
titer. Either one side or both are
wrong in believing that the Divine
Messing will favor their arms. "Thou
shalt not tall" is one or tne com
ntandments which all Christians
must obey; yet millions of men are
killing, believing that tney are doing
it la a divinely just cause. They have
a reason to give why the wholesale
slaughter of thousands ia not Just aa

It is also of interest that at tnis

Dr. Craven passed over tne nyer, xne
Old Brack' stock is well evidenced
by his active grandsons. Editor
George B. Craven, of Chase City, the

"THE BEAUTIFUL BOY"
Dr. Prince E. Burroughs, of Nash
ville, Tennessee, recently delivered an
address in the First Baptist church,
High Point, on the "Beautiful Boy."
The eminent speaker declared that
he had never, in the literature of
many languages, found a stronger
picture of "clean, sweet, unsullied, and
unblemished boyhood and manhood"
than that of the Scripture character
of Daniel. He showed how Daniel
did not drift with the current, but had
a good purpose of his own which set
him apart as an unusual individual.
Continuing the doctor said that the
best defence of a country lies not in
great forts, men-of-war, nor giant
guns, but first, last, and always in
the integrity of its young manhood;
in fact, he thinks the greatest wealth
of any country is true manhood. He
further said: lhe best chance a
boy can have is to have no chance,
the best capital a boy can have is no
capital, the best backing for him is
no backing. The speaker then re
ferred to Thomas A. Edison, John
Wannamaker, and John D. Rocke-1
feller as a few of our exeat men who ,
beean life at the bottom of the ladder,
He said the foreigner almost told the !
truth when he remarked: "Nearly i
all your great men were born in log
cabins." Rich men's sons onlv in-
herit soft white hands, gold, and cares,
s;ua xne nocior, wmie tne poor Doye
mnerit muscles and sinewv frames,

boy, and often turned to look at them
as they passed on the streets. How
ever, he didn't mean "the boy who
thinks he's pretty, who turns up his
trousers when it doesn t ram, who
parts his hear in the middle, and says
'dontcher know.'"
The seriousness of early training
waa very graphically presented.
I was passing once upon a time
where some men were busy digging,
and when asking the reason was told
that a b uilding was to be erected on
the spot. It was n earing winter, and
in answer to my doubt that it would
or could be finished lb afore winter sat
in, the overseer said: "True, but ws
want to lay the founds tioa bafora
stormy weather sets in." "So." drew
the moralist, "the proper foundation
laid ia childhood enables maabootf
and womanhood to stand safaly Is
stormy weather."
He spoke of the numerous times
physicians refer to "resisting force."
He said bs ones had a sick frvead af
whom the doctor remarked, "yur
friend can't live. Nine-ten tha af the
people in a similar eonditioa would
get well. He's got no resisting power."
"Dr. J. Frost tells of a torrifle
storm which once visited Selma, Ala.
Ia a park there were some auurnifi.

old. these had their limbs threshed
and broken, and nearly every tree

THE NEW PRIMARY LAW
One of the vigorous workers in the
House of Representatives tor a Mate-
wide primary law was Representative
A. A. F. Seawell, of Lee. Asked to
give his views as to the law passed
Senator sea-.veu saia:
"The Weaver-Hobgoood primary
bill as it finally passed is tar from
being an ideal law, but it is a tig step
forward. The bill suffered diminution
in strength in the Senate, and was the
subject of violent attack in the House
with a view to still further reduction.
However, after the smoke of battle
has cleared away, it will be found
that the bill waa much strengthened
in the House, the Senate after con
ference adopting the House amend
ments.
"The loss of the 'oath feature,' the
test of party loyalty upon challenge
is more than compensated for by th
amendment permitting challenge
the time of voting and providing a
way of deciding the challenge, and
the amendment requiring a different
set of boxes for each party. 1 he secret
ballot provision was somewhat weak
ened by an amendment, the only ma
terial advantage (rained by the o
ponents or the Weaver-ltoigoort Din
m the House.
"This, however, is only by i m plica
tion, and I think enough remains ir
the bill to make it fairly effective in
preventing inierierei:e im lire vui

"The law . when published, will show
the popularity of the 'legalized pri-

The referendum feature of the bill
brings in many others.
"I should 6ay that the law needs
strengthening especially at these
ooints:
"1. Let the Qualification of the
voter be stated more explicit
ly.
"2. Make the provisions plainer
and the machinery better to
exclude those who have n
right to participate, and per
mit only those to vote who do
m in good faith. Acquire an
sath oa challenge as to pres
ent party affiliation and gooo

go farther than to declare the

DIGGERS SEARCH FOR GOLD IN
GRAVE IN MONTGOMERY
COUNTY
Every one who has crossed the Pee
Dee River at Lowder's Ferry immedi
ately below where the Uwharrie Kiver
flnwa into the Yadkin and after the
confluence the river is called Pee Dee,
knows David Lowder, who has been
ferrvman at the ferry on the river be
tween Montgomery and Stanly coun
ties, nearly thirty years, living on the
Stanly aide of the river, and now 2
years old. Mr. Lowder tells a story
to the Stanly Enterprise about dig
ging for gold in a grave, which we
quote as follws:
"On Wednesday night of last week
when the moon waa shining in all its
glory, the grave of DeLamont, a
Frenchman, buried some 75 years age
on tne . Montgomery aiae, upiw'
Lowder's Ferry, was dug into oy cer
tain parties who obviously searched
for cold, long reputed to have been
buried with DaLamonfa body. Mr.
Lowder tells us that this searcn was
within hia own memorr. the third one
aiade for the old man's gold, at his
grave. It is needless te say that bo
gold waa found.
"On the night that the -grave was
dug into there was a spelling-bee at
nirlc villa school house, and a number
of boys- and girl from the Montgom
ery side attended. Kron Lowder, a
son of Dave Lowder. served as ferry
man that niirht. After the match was
over he and another young man set
the party of young people over mi
their home side. Kron, noticing
certain young men standing idle on
the Montgomery shore, asked aa
they were there foe. One feilew
said. "I ain't going to tell you now.
Your daddy will know eoon enough.
Those idle fellows, had worked in a
field near the grave during ine oay,
and naturally their actions had
aroused suspicions.
It remains to tell something ox IJe-
r xin rama Tram r ranee
about the same time that tha late
Doctor Kron came with his two
daughters, Misses Elizabeth f.nd Ad
die Kron, DeLamont being rich
bought much land both en the Kon-
gomery ana aianiy siuea i m
kin. Before he died, having no rela
tives in America, he willed his prop
erty in Stanly to the Krons. For
some reason a la.vsuit ere long fol
lowed, and Dr. Kron, rather than lose
his property, willed it to hia daugh
ters. These two lived on the estate
until each in her turn passed into the
silent land. What became t DeLa
mont's money will probably never be
known until the sea gives up its dead.
Let us hope though thi-.t his ashes
will never again be disturbed."

FOR PERFECT REGISTRATION
North Carolina Soon to be Recogniz
ed as a Registration State.
North Carolina will soon take hcr
rightf ul place among the states of the
Union as a registration state. Ttu's is
all due to a law just passed perfect
ing our registration of births and
deaths. Hereafter, upon the death of
any person in the state, the undertak
er person acting as socn wia be
obliged to file a death certificate with
the local registrar in exchange for a
bunal permit, within seventy-two
hours after death or before the burial
of the body. Heretofore, in the coun
try, ten days were-allowed for filing
such death certificates after the burial
of the body. As a result a large por
tion of deaths in the country were for
gotten, overlooked and nnreerder, and
our vital statistics, particularly for
rural districts, are of very little value
and in many cases worthless and even
misleading.
These conditions were so self-evi
dent that the Federal antheritiea re
fused Jind rightly, to recognise North
Carolina as a registration state er to
give our statistics a place beside the
statistics of other state with peeper
laws. It is not knows if North Onr-
elina will be recognised aa a regfatra-
tion state for 1915 or not- as avaost
one-fourth of the year will have pass
ed before the tav can be put iate ac
tion, but there la no doubt that our
figures for 1916 will be accepted ny
Federal authorities. After that North
Carolina will be favored with emi
grants seeking healthful climes who
now have no means whatever of
knowing whether North Carolina is a
healthful state or not. ,
