There is to be held in Burlington on next Tuesday night a Sunday School meeting of unusual import ance. The matter of organizing a! City" Sunday School Association in Burlington for all denominations for the purpose of later setting up a City Training School, will be before the people of the town and representa tive citizens from other parts of the county. ' Mr. W. A. Brown, of Chicago, one of the General Superintendents of the International Sunday School Associ ation, will make an address. Not on ly is Mr. Brown a great master in the modern Sunday School Movement as We know it today, but he is one of those broad-gauged, statesman-like leaders of modern thought and activ ity. - He made one of the great speeches at the World's Sunday School Convention, held at Zurich, Switzer land, last July, which was considered the greatest religious gathering ever held in the history of the world. Burlington is exceedingly fortunate to have him stop here for an evening For some time a number of towns in the State have been urging the State Sunday School Association, with head quarters in Greensboro, to aid in or ganizing Ciyt associations and in set ting of City Trainng Schools, but the assocation has not until now been in shape to undertake a line of work so constructive and educational in its character and far-reaching in its sig nificance. - The association has been waiting to get a master to present the new lines of work to the people, and then the time has not been ripe for this work until now. A work of so much importance as the religious education of the people through the Sunday School must necessarily be a growth inn its development. The meeting in Burlington will be held on next Tuesday night at 7:30 o'clock at the .Methodist Church and is for all denominations and all citizens of our town and the surrounding commuity. The entire country unindebted , to ' The acuse to be considered, and we owe it to ourselves and to the com munity to help make the meeting in Burlington one of the very best of the whole series of ten meetings to be held in the State.

Thomas Dodson, who ives near Oranee Grove, was the vic tim. Only one dollar was secured by the highway, though he had a right to expect a much richer booty. Mr. Dodson had gone to Durham and Hillsboro with a load of produce, which netted him auite a neat sum While in Durham he made several purchases and paid Beveral bills. In Hillsboro he settled his taxes, maae another purchase or two and settled several small accounts it is said, un starting home Mr. Dodson found that he had just one dollar in his pocket, But he never dreamed that tnis re serve fund, which would have proven a nice nest egg or opened a savings account if he had really needed eith er, was to go the gun route before he reached home. Such was its late, however, for on reaching the top ot the hill after having crossed Haw Riv er, Mr. Dodson was halted by a high wayman who demanded his money. Thereupon the lone dollar was hand ed over. The matter was reported at once to Robert Sharpe, a near neighbor, and a search was begun. But no clue was found which promised to point to the guilty party. certain to fail. The power of appli ' cation is essential in all standards."

After two days and a half spent in the exam ination of 200 talesmen a jury was completed this afternoon for the sec ond trial of Hans Schmidt, the one time priest who slew Anna Amueller, dismembered her" body and threw it in the Hudson river, The first jury failed to agree. Persons who recovered portions of the Aumuller girl's body from the Hudson were, the .first witnesses, call ed by the State. The knife and saw declared to have been used by Hans were admitted into evidence. Several physicians testified as to the cause of death. In general, the testimony was similar to that given at the first trial The New Well Tested. The new well which has recently been sunk near Mr. L. J. Fonville's is now 750 feet deep, It was tested one day last week and has a capacity of 55 gallons per minute. The test lasted 31 hours. It is believed this will give plenty of water for the pres ent needs of the town. This will doubtless relieve the present water situation, but it will only be a ques tion of time before the town will be forced to connect with Stony Creek. Taft Talks of Alien Outrage.

We are in receipt of a copy of The Piedmont Way, published in the in terest of and by the management of the Piedmont Trust Company. The pamphlet is beautifully illustrated showing the photo of Mr. J. W. Mur ray, in ' his office, on the first page. Several interesting articles inter spersed with a few rare jokes are con tained in its make-up. We reprint the following lines which are from this sheet and need no comment to the many people who are acquainted with Mr. Murray: ; Ten years ago the Piedmont Trust Company existed only as an idea in the mind of one man. Today, recog nised as, one of the srtongest institu tions of its kind in the State, number ing its clients by the thousands, do ing business in every part of the State, the Piedmont Trust Company stands as a monument to the aggres. sive and indomitable spirit of its ar chitect and builder. Ten years ago the surplus money of the country was stowed away in old chests and under hearth-stones unproductive and con stantly in danger of loss hy theft and fire. Today thousands of people all over the State rejoice in the posses sion of Piedmont Guaranteed Gold Bonds and the safety and convenience afforded thereby a tribute to the sagacity and foresight of Mr. J.'W. Murray. , Mr. Murray has done many great things for his home city and his na tive State, and has won the admira tion and gratitude of the people among whom and for whom he has labored. But his memory will live longest as founder of the Piedmont Trust Co., and originator of the Piedmont Gold Bonds.

"Many a man does not seem to have discovered his one talent. The thing to do is to jump in somewhere, even if the opening is not promising. -. "i'erhaps the very thing you think you cannot do is the one thing you can do best. All sorts of people carne to see Jesus and He gave no lesson more forcibly than the one that a man is to be juuged by what he does with the talents he has." His mention of his father and his grandfather as total abstainers was a part of his remarks oh temperance "In these strenuous New. York and American days," said Mr. Rockefeller, "when there is so much to do and so much to be gained by doing, many men work too hard. They ought to be temperate in work. It pays. Mor will be accomplished in the lond run. "In the old days when a salesman! applied for a job he was often asked to take a drink of whiskey, and inci dentally he was tested to see how much he could drink and still hold his wits. Usually the man who could drink the most got the job. Now, all that is changed. Great corporations will not employ men who drink, and their emphasis is on total abstinence. I am told that in Germ any, where. beer drinking is supposed to be prevalent, college professors wid even students are cnittino- tho - -a o , drink habit on the ground that the mind is befogged by drink. ; I thiriK there is less social drink ing in New York than formerly. Yet 1 learn that m the country as a whole the consumption of strong drink in creases. This leads me to fear that prohibition does not always prohibit. btrong drink causes more crime and poverty than all the other causes to gether." Mr. Rockefeller talked at consider able length on the subject of the so cial evil and on the necessity for per sonal purity. He said emphatically that there can be no such thing as a aouDie standard of morals, one stand ard for men quite another for women He scouted the notion that young men must sow wild oats.

This morning at about 6:30 o'clock, John Maynor was killed by a southbound through freight train on the Southern. The exact particulars of the accident can not be obtained as there was only one witness, who was an occupant of the car in which Maynor w is killed and he is not able to say just how it oc ¬ curred. Mr. Maynor, in company with Mr. Hill, who he was. taking to hiss work, attempted to cross the railroad track at the crossing near the freight depot. It seems that they were watch ing a shifting engine going north when a through freight headed south came upon them. Mr. Hill,. who was with Mr. Maynor jumped for his life, but Maynor was killed. The car was shattered to pieces. It appeared that he was able to alight from the car but the train struck the ear, which fell upon him, causing almost instant death. The body was terribly mutilated and he lived only a few minutes.

Mr. Rockefeller's advice on friend ship was: . ; "In the earlier times, when people had little more to read than the Bible, the dictionary and an almanac, they perused all dilhgently and gained much," said Mr. Rockefeller.
