Again. Lot told Sodom and Gomorrah that their cities were going to be destroyed by fire. Tlicy refused to be lieve it. And so on, all along the ages, the carnal man lefuses to believe God, but this does not change His Word. “King Pharoah did not believe, not withstanding the ten plagues of Egypt that were sent upon him. He did noi recognize tho hand of CJod. U he had, he never would have followed the Is raelites, and been drowned in the Red Sea. His heart was hardened, we are told. 'I'liat might have been by and ihrouf-’h the very fact of removing, each time, these various plagues. He would see that the ))lague was remov ed. I'ossibly the scicntis'ts of that day would explain this to him, that it was natural, and that everything was done by natural lav , and the consequence is, he did not see the invisible hand of the Living God. dealing with him. And so today, we have scientists and l»hilosophers-. wjio explain eveiything ny natural order and naturallaw, and 11'.ey never see God's band in it. ‘‘Take the boll weevil that has reduc ed the crop of Louisiana from l,00t,- nOO bales of cotton, which they raised only a few years ago, to something like 2r)0,uut) bales this past season. This is just as much a plague sent by God as the plagues of Egypt, still the peo- l)le do not believe it. . “At the close of .fknuary 1st, this past year, we wore short in Charlotte approximately nine inches of lain. Since January 1st we are approximate ly short six inches of rain. Read the accounts of the West, and s-ee how the rivers and the sjirings have gone dry. Still the people do not see God s hand. God’s word did not state that it would no rain at all, as people mock ed and said that 1 said. I have no right to say t. word about it, as 1 am not a prophet, and do not claim to be. but I do know the Living God, and 1 do know what he ha? s-hown me m His Word. And you ne^d not dobut but that His Word in the 107th Psalm, :>3- 34 will be literally tulfillel before our nation will get back to good times again, which is a blessing from God^. The industiial situation in the North and South is now ^oing through very gloomy times. The cotton situation m Texas^ Oklahoma. Louisiana and Mi^ sissippi is suffering from boll ^’^^vil and drouth The wheat section of the country is suffering from the poor demand, and the flour mills are in hard straits. So our whole nation is sorely affected and it iS' because we have forsaken the Living God, and ..lone after Baal, and 1 do not believe the situation v.ili improve until the ])eople repent and turn to God. “'I he higli cost of living, the distress ing cotton mill situation, the low con dition of the rivers all over the coun try. the very small rain fall, the boll and drought in the West—these things are sim])ly a fulfilling of God’s W'^ord, and Hik- loving hand is trying to get this nation to turn back to Him. “There is a movement on foot to spend $-100,000, to connect, Cliarlotte with the Cd.tav,ba river, in order to get water. This is a great expenditure of money and will be uselessly spent at this time, for the reason w'hy the stream from which we are getting our water now is . 'v. is. because aS' God’s Word says, of the wickedness of the people.,and so it is sin that is drying up our water system, and the same God that can dry up Briar creek, c^n dry uj) the Catawba river, and I firmly believe that if the people will turn to God. that we will have plenty of water without spending .$400,000.’’ Farmers Favoi Farm-Life School Much Interest Bting Taken in Eveiy Part oj County in the Proposal to Start Farm— Lije School in This County, Universal interest is displayed by farmers from every section of the county in the mass meeting to be held at the court house’ next Saturday to consider the establishment in this county of a farm-life school. The opinion prevails that Mecklen burg should have such a school and every one seems to think that now^ is the time to secure it. A number of ])rominent farmers were heard discuss ing the matter today and they were confident that not only will there be a large attendance at the meeting next Saturday, but that there will be a unanimous sentiment in favor of the school. Said one inteligent and progressive farmer: “This is a proposition that we can’t afford to turn down. The time has come when Mecklenburg county needs, and needs badly, such a school as that proposed, and espec ially ought the projeci meet with fa vor when the establishment and main tenance of such a school will not les sen the usefulness of any other schools already established, but will be suple- mentary and additional to them. “Mecklenburg,” he continued, “needs this school to promote the agricultural interests of the coun y and keep farm ing methods abreast of develot>ment along other lines. Other states, espec ially several western states have ex perimented with the farm-life schools and found them of incalculable bene fit. In fact, many of them rate these schools asx the most valuable asset in the states’ welfare. There is no reason why North Carolina shouldn’t reap the same results and there is no reason why Mecklenburg county shouldn’t be a pioneer in erecting and profiting by these schools. Every line of industry has progressed as to expert Uiethods of operation, more than farming and it is high time experts were being turned out for running farms. I’m heartily.In favor of the farm-life school. I’ll be there next Saturday and will take all my neighbors if they’ll go.” President Diaz, of Mexico. Wigg—“Bjones is the laziest person I know.” Wagg—“That’s right; Bjones would kick about going to heaven un less there is an elevator.” THE SOLDIERS ISBOOCn San Antonio, Texas, March 18.— That the division now in camp at Fort Sam Houston expects to remain here for many Aveeks was shown this morning when local merchants were asked to bid on commissary sup plies amounting to $150,000 to be ready for delivery April .5. The ar ticle desired consist of half a million pounds of flour, 120,000 i>ound of sugar, 40,000 pounds of beans. 20,000 pounds of rice, 24,000 pounds of lard and in smellier quantities toma toes, prunes, soap, candy, matches, tobacco, salt, cheese, etc. This is about a month’s supply for the men now in camp. This is being purchased despite the fact there is now stored in freight cars in the yards here food supplies of even a larger quantity. That on the cars is kept in readi ness to move on short notice. Every company now In the division camp is being filled to war strength. It is estimated that by the end of twenty days the army of the United States will be practically up to the limit allowed by congressional act. The fact that the Mexican govern ment has suceeded in releiving Chi huahua, trains now being operated between Mexico City and that point and north to 'El Paso has greatly lessened the chances of armed inter vention. The vigorous activity of the Mexican government within the last six days has done much to bring about pace in Chiahuahua. The only alarming reports are of rebel activity in Tamaulipas, Durango and Nuevo Leon, with authentic accounts of raids in the Yaqui river valley by the Yaqui Indians, ancient and for midable fighters agaiflst the Mexi cans. The Americans in Sonora are said to be fleeing to CaliforniR., many of their estates having ben raided by the Indians, who are said to have 5,000 men in the field. Another Explosion OJ Ammonia By Associated Press. Chicago, March 20.—Another explo sion of ammonia occurred today in the burning ruins of the Monarch Refrig erating Company where last night doz ens of persons were keeled over uncon scious. By the latest act three men re ceived hurts but as in the case oi' pre vious victims there was no fatality. Estimates of $S;00,000 loss, chiefly in butter and poultry are confirmed. Mr, Plylefs ^Brother To Preach Sunday Rev. M. T. Plylor, presiding ehler of the lOlizaheth City district, will oc cupy the ])ulpit of Trinity Methodist church next Sunday. Mr. IM.yer is the twin brother of fiev. A. \V. I’lyler, pa.s- lor of Trinity. .'I'hey ai'e perfect pro totypes of each other. But for this no tice the 'rrir,ii.y ])eople would not, per chance. know tliat their own minioLer wa;s not. in th.e jmljiit. When the hookkeo])er loses his bal ance he naturally feels upset about it. Mrs. Ed, C. Kirk, of Albemarle, who has been in the Charlotte Sanatorium for several weeks, returned home very much improved. Some people believe what they see, and keep their eyes shut half the i time at that. Kimooa Sale! We are going to place on sale Wednesday Morning, 10 a. m.
