CHIN
nt;flror and Empress Dowager Said; to
Ue Caiturcl Russia May Give
Trouble 'one With Whom to f reat,
Isews from China indicates a
good 'deal -of uncertainty. A clis
pateh says the Japs actually
cnught the Emperor and the Em
press Dowager but it seems to
lack confirmation.
. There is a measure of unrest
and uncertainty about the action
of the several powers. Indica
tions are .that Russia would like
to press much further than the
mere rescuing of her citizens.
The wires are suffering some
disturbance so that Gen. Chaffee
has not. been heard from since
Thursday.
The government seems to feel
confident of quiet so that the
consuls may asrain return to
their posts.
All, however, is chaos and the
commanders of the allied forces
have no one to treat with for the
adjustment of affairs.
The Township S.' S. Convention. '
The township Sunday school
convention was a very success
ful event. A number of the re
ports were very encouraging.
. The singing was done by the
' several schools and Messrs C S
Coler, J D Lentz and Z A Mor
ris delivered able addresses.
Mr. Morris was elected presi
dent of the township convention
and is ex-officio vice-president
of the county convention. Mr. D
B Coltrane was made township
Sunday school secretary.
Mr. M B Stickley who pre
sided at the meeting impressed
the great need of securing the
attendance of all children in the
town.
He gave the number of
families of the 'different denomi
nations and the number of chil
dren out of the Sunday school,
saying they "should be brought
in by personal effort and that if
those interested will come to
him he will furnish the names
and locations of all the material
to be won.
At night Dr. Kilgo addressed
a packed audience. The ad
dress was well received.
A summary of the address
might be briefly put, the Sunday
School a disseminator of Bi
ble knowledge, the Bible n
revelation of God's will to man
and God as a living reality, a
personal power ruling and over
ruling the events of the world
Bojs and Teachers Friends.
The students and teachers at
Bingham School, Mebane, N. C,

and are constant associates and
frienas, hence the health, morals
and manners of the boys are al
ways carefully looked after.

"Number;" Jiot "Hello."
I Probably few people know
that in articulating the wore
"hello, "there is a peculiar strain
on the throat. Nevertheless it
is a fact, especially if there is a
rise in the voice in pronouncing
the last syllable. The throats of
the young wonien in the Home
Telephone Company's exchange
have become so affected by ar
ticulating this word so many
times a day, that at the advice of
a physician, Dr. W C Black, they
have abandoned the word alto
gether, . beginning yesterday.
Miss Eudora Martin, who has
been serving the. company for
several years as' operator, is
most affected.
