Ito. W. A. Brown, of Chicago, one
of the General Superintendents of the
Jnt'^niatiorjil Sunday School Associ
ation, 'NriU mbkc an address. Not on
ly is Mr. Broym a greet master in
the modern Sunday School Movement
as we know it today, but h? is one of
those broad-gauged, statesman-like
leaders of, modern thought and activ
ity, He nade 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 fortanate
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 associetions and in set
ting of City Trailing 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.
Tb« association has been waiting
io get a muster to present tlie new
lines of work to the people, and then
the time has not been ripe for this
work Bntil now. A work of so much
impoj-tance aa the religious education
of the people through the Sunday
School must necesijariiy be a growth
inn its (^svelopmsnt.
The meeting in Burlington Mvill be
held on next Tuesday night at 7:30
o’clock at the Methodist Church and is
for all denominations and all citisens
of our town and the surrounding
commuHy.
The entire country is indebted to
■the acuso to be coii^idered, and we
owe it to ourselves and to the com
munity to help nwtke the meeting in
cight,were learned this morning from
Ibe officers. The man's name was
Claud Sykes. Ho is a son
Sykes, who lives near Efland. He in
tended to get off at Efland, but was
carried by. “Ihe ticket collector tried
to collect 25 cents fare from Efland
to Hillsboro; Sykes refused to pay
this. After a considerable altercatioji
with ticket collector deliber
ately went to the platform and step
ped off. The train was going at full
speed. That he was not instantly
killed is little short of a miracle. He
was found by Mr. Robert Sharpe, who
livep near the railroad, at the point
where it occurred. His head and face
are badly lacerated; his body bruised
and his clothes badly torn. Mr.
Sharps took him to his home and car
ed for him over night, and sent for
his parents. ^ _
The train did not stop until it
readied Hillsboro, though members of
the train crew fenew of the affaw. It
Is something like two miles from
Hillsboro to the place where the boy
was found. The only notice that the
train crew took of the affair was to
report it to the station agent, Mr.
E. H. Due, when the train pulled in.
It was some time after the accident
occurred before the boy was found.
Claude Sykes is not supposed to
be very well balanced, mentally, and
M«bane, Jan. 22.—Report ha? reacn-
ed here of a daring hold-up on the
Hillsboio-Orange Grove road a few
.i^t ago. Thomas Dodson, who
lives near Orange Grove, was the vie-
tiia. Only one dollar wap swured by
the highmy. though he had a right
to expect a much richer booty.
Mr. Dodson had gone to Durham
and Hillsboro with • load of produce,
which netied him quite a neat sum
While in Durham ho made several
pur(diases imd paid several bills. In
Hillsboro he settled his taxes, made
another purchase or two and settled
■everal small accounts it is said. On
staining home Mr. Dodson found that
had just ofie dollar in his pocket.
But ha never dreamed that this re
serve fuaJ, whicb 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
>ie reached home. Such was its fate,
however, for on reaching the top ot
the hill after having crossed Haw Riv-
er, Mr. Dodson was halted by a high-
waynaan 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 v?hich promised to point
to the guiity party.

doubtless relieve the present water

more forcibly than tiie one that a man
is to te ju«ged Oy wiiat he does with
the talents he has.
His mention of Jus father and his
grandfather as total abstainers was
a part of his remarks on temperance.
“in these strenuous New iork 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 haid. They ought to
fee temperate in work. It pays. Mor»

“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, ail that- is changed. Great
corporations wiil 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
»wtd even students are cu;tti:,g the
tlrink habit on the ground that the
mind is befogged by drink.
“I thnk there is less asocial drink
ing in Sew York than formerly. Vet
1 learn that in the oountry as a uhoie

prohibition does not always prohibit.
I Strong dri:ik causes more crime and

Mr. Kockefeiler talked at consider

He scoutcd the notion that young men

Mr. Rockefeller told the meml.*ers
if the class Shat his grandfather and
his father never touched intoxicating
Jitjuor and were total abstainers as a
Mtter c-f principle, and that he him
self. had followed their ci'ample.
His advice and suggestions as to
clean liring and to what every young
man can do toward mitigating the so-^
cial evil were heard with keen inter
est by 200 mombers of the class.
Mr. Rockefeller conducts the Bible
class only occasionally. After his ad
dress Sunday, which was on the sab-
iMt. “Setting Life’s Standards,” he
was urged to lead the class more of
ten.
“To quote the words of another,”
said Mr. Rockefeller, “let me remind
you that ‘success consists of doing
the common things of life uncommon
ly well.’ There is one thing more
needful to this success than ability.
It is will.
“If a man is unwilling to do small
tasks aiid do them weii he ought not
be iwnnitted to do bisr and if
he it permS'ttcd mSstekKBly he it aiost

“We need i.n this country the ki.nd
of chivalry that the kiug;hts of oid
displayed in their best days. Am^-
ican young man are in great need of
chivalry. If they would treat all wo-
men as .they treat their mothers and
sisters a very great deal would be ac
complished.”
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 dilligently and gained
