I'p to the present time there have been six attorneys retained for Mr. Cole's defense. The correspondent with monotonous regularity twice or n: re a day has made inquiry of these a:t< meys as to any statement that might he made, but none is forthcom ing. The attorneys politely but firm ly decline to have anything to say, other than that 'in due time the pub ic- will gain a different angle ,on the entire affair and feele that Mr. Cole was justified. For it imist be chron icled that on Saturday night, and mostly since, the greater per cent of the sentiment here has been one of indignation at what on its face ap pears to be a brutal murder. JHow ever. a« an offset to -this might be mentioned a remark that Mr. Cole is said to have made in jail, that he was not sorry that he killed Ormond, but sorry that circumstances forced him to. No Special Consideration. Right here it might be mentioned that Bill Cole is not receiving at the hands of ihc county authorities any more consideration than would be given any other prisoner. The report that a plume had been placed in his cell is a mistake, and his food is -the regular prison fare. Nothing has de veloped further in the case. The law yer> for the defense are apparently marking time. Tu this correspondence yesterday it was staled that Mr. Cole and ’his at 'tney. Fred W. BYnuni. went to lia .<-igh to see Ormond last April or May. and that Mr. Bynum went on to Nashville where he got Ormond's sig nature to an agreement wherein he agreed not to further attempt to com municate with Miss Elizabeth Cole or REQUESTS KLANSMEN TO LEAVE HIS CHURCH Rev.

Aug. 18.—(&> —Tex Kiufcard, fight promoter, and Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, each posted $25,000 forfeit this after noon for a Dempsey -\Y ills match. any of the Cole family, and that aftei signing the statement, Mr. Bynum i 6 said to have turned to Rev. A. L. | Ormond and remarked tfiat “this now j settles the entire matter between Mr. Cole and Bill Ormond, and everything is satisfactory.”" It was learned 'to-- day that the time of Mr. Bynum’s visit to Nashville, and securing of •the agreement, was last February in stead of April or May. Ormond has always been liked. He never drank intoxicants whatever, and was esteemed as a strictly moral young man, with no bad habits. His war service was exceptionally good, but in the suffamer of 1018 he was badly gassed while in front and was kept in a hospital for four months. T-pon returning to America, he came *to Rockingham, where liis father, Rev. A. L. Ormond, was sta tioned as pastor. The friendship with Miss Elizabeth Cole gradually ripened into love and their eventual marriage was regarded a«s a foregone conclusion. Father Frowns on Match. Last year, however, it is said that Mr. Cole 'began to frown more and more upon the match, and in fact Miss Cole is said to have told Or mond that it could not be unless he got a good job. stuck to it and gave evidence that he could rise in the world. It is said she told him if he held a job for as much as four months she would marry- him. But the parental objection proved the stronger as between duty and love, and gradually the affair waned. A bitter correspondence during the win ter took place between Mr. Cole and Ormond. Each side contends tha,t -the other was the aggressor in this letter battle; at any rate, along in February it is said Mr. Cole came to Aiis attorney. Mr. Bynum, with a let ter from Ormond and requested his lawyer to accompany him to Raleigh and have Ormond put under a peace -bciul. The two men went to Ral eigh. but found Ormond at Nash ville, at the home of his father. Shoe on Other Foot. Mr. Bynum continued on to Nash ville, leaving Mr. Cole in Raleigh. At Nashville Mr. Bynum took the matter of the letters up wit f u Or mond ood the latter’s father, with the upshot that Ormond in turn showed Mr. Bynum the letters -that Cole had w,ritfen him in which vio : lent and threatening language was ; used. ; The upshot is that Attorney By : num is said to 'nave abandoned all I idea of a peace warrant and to liayc | remarked that it almost seemed that i the shoe might be on the other foot. It was then that Ormond signed the agreement not to see or communicate with Miss Cole, or to further write to Air. Cole; the writing was to be reciprocal. And it was then that At torney Bynum is said to have told | Rev. A. L. Ormond that tfie entire I matter was ended by the signed agree ! ment. Charge Infuriating Letters. !

De.egatcs representing practically all the Chris tian churches all over the world, ex cept the Roman Catholic Church, were iu attendance here today at the •formal, opening of the Universe J Christian Conference on infe and Work. A new feature is the partici pation of the Green Orthodox church, which hitherto has not taken part in similar conferences. The sessions of the gathering will continue through the rcmaindet of this month. The purpose of the con fere nee £ stated in its official <in nouneeruent “is uot primarily to promote the reunion of Christendom. The purpose- is rather to concen trate thq thought of Christendom on the mind of Christ as revealed in the Gospels towards those great social, industrial and international ques tions which are so acutely urgent in, our civilization. Believing that only in Christ’s way of life can the world find healing and rests we desire to discover how best his inessagge may be applied to those problems with which every nation has been con fronted.” Fire on Board Vessel Extinguished.

It take an af !?'* "Ks which was reported in Nunday s paper from Rockingham to arouse the people to realization. The shock would haVe been but little less if the story had told of a preacher of the Gospel, walking, quietly and calmly from the door of his manse and shooting down some individual against whom he might have had grievance, imaginary or real, for few preachers could bear a more • irre proachable” character, or hold higher standing in church and community than was the character of the man who walked deliberately from the door of his business office and shot down an overseas man who was seated in an automobile by the sidewalk, evi dently not suspecting impending peril and iiossibly unaware of any respon sibility for an aroused resentment, even of mild, nature, much less resent ment of so violent a character as to inspire the murderous intent. But it is not to supposed that there was no grievance of any kind. The victim had given mortal offense of some sort, or the slayer must have had some suddenly fatal disturbance of mind. The dead man can say nothing in his own defense; the slay er has elected to make' no statement and the public must await the de-, tails as they come out in the hear ing that is to follow. Perhaps the Rockingham affair is destined to take place as one of the most notable on the state’s murder book. But as we have indicated, it has required an occurrence of this nature to arouse the people into apprecia tion of a condition which has over whelmed society. Dreadful a thing as murder is, it has become almost a matter-of-fact occurrence. Only last week the State board of health, one of whose duties is certification of causes of death, issued statement in which the fact was releaved that dur ing the year 1924, many as 299 homicides stained the records of North Carolina. This is a contribution of “more than the state’s quota to the crime wave,” as significantly stated by the board’s letter. Reference is also made to Chicago's murder i*eeor<J of almost one a day, and regretful ad mission is made that in this particular our state ranks “well up in the fore front.” Some facts are submitted upon which the people of the state might well reflect in serious mood. The letter states that typhoid fever was not -so long ago a large factor in the death rate of .the state. It has been one of the causes of death against which both state and local health authorities have wagej. a ma jor offensive. Xo\V murder and au tomobile accidents each levies a great er annual toll of human life than does this once prevalent and dreadful dis ease. The records show more than double the number of negro victims among the homicides as compared with the white. The distribution is 94 white, 201 negro, ami four Indians. The homicides are divided into four clas sifications. Os the total, 285* were killed With firearms. 47 by knives or ether piercing instruments, six were babies killed closely following birth, and eleven were killed by other means. Oh, the law! the law! Was ever institution more defiantly trampled under foot? For disrespect for the law and disregard for the courts of justice is the foundation upon which the “crime wave” is based. RELIGIOUS EDI CATION NEED OF CHURCH Hope of Religion Rests With Alen Trained in Right Manner. Lake Junaluska. N. C-., August 17, —fAP)—The future of the Church itself is bound up in the success or failure of the present widespread movement on behalf ot religious ed ucation. was the opinion expressed here by Dr. R. L. Calhoun, of Yale University Divinity School, conclud ing a series of lectures on “The Meaning of the I ■’resent Movement in Religious Education.” He. declared that Christian forces must not only “hold to as high standards as are demanded of secular 'education but must develop and complete ■ a pur poseful educational system for morals and religion.” / Dr. Calhoun’s closing lecture was devoted largely to a discussion of re ligious education as it will affect the Church's future. Preceding lectures dealt with the past and preseht. “The only basis, for reasonable forecast always precarious at best, is acquaintance with what has happen ed under similar circumstances”, he said- “And examination of a number of crises through which the Christ ian Church has come gives ground for the judgement that the future success or failure of the Church it self is closely bound up with the success*or failure of the growing ef fort to provide an adequate moral and religious educational system. “Again and again the Church has faced the threat of failure before the advance of secular forces, fortified by secular scholars!} ip. Each time it has found powerful aid in great Christian educators who have met the, challenge of critical and construct ive thinking without the Church by providing for still better thinking within. '■ “In Paul’s day the Church was entangled in threatening confusion over the relation of Christianity to the Jewish ceremonial aw. It was dear, vigorous thinking bn Paul’s part that settled the issue once for all. When the Gospel according to John was written, the Church was trying to make its way among the Greeks who <*<>uld not understand an essentially Jewish conception of the Person of Jesus Christ. John found a brilliant interpretation which both Jews uud Greeks could recognize. “Origeu met successfully the chal lenge of Platonic scholars in the Uni versity of Alexandria; and Thomas Aquinas in the Middle Ages worked out a stupendous theological system to capture fur the Church'" the 'newly re-discovered science and ‘ philosophy of Aristotle. Many a sharp answer is made in blunt language- Our follies tax us seven times as does any lawmaking body. GUNS FAIL Tfl MARK ■ IN lEI YORK TESTS Anti Air Craft Guns Made 19 Hits in 16,000 Shots in Test to Determine Their True Value. x New York, Aug. 18.—OP)—Only nineteen hits have been made in 10.- 000 shots wfiich anti air craft machine gun batteries at -Fort Tilden fired during a test of the ability of coast defense to protect the port of New York from an attack by air. Reproductive F. L. Laguardia, former major in the air service who pbserved the tests, said he would, re port to Congress that the air de fenses here were an absurditli. “The synthetic defense of the port of New York certainly has not the kick of the synthetic gin that I am told is sold on Broadway. Hypo thetical hits, are bunk. Enemies are not defeated that way.” Alajor General Johnson Haygood, who with more than a dozen offiegrs witnessing the test, said practice show ed tremendous advance in anti air craft defense since the war. Others admitted that the teste bore out the assertion of Colonel AVilliam Mitchell, former assistant air chief, that guns on Ignd were virtually useless against hostile aircraft. DISBE BREAKS DOWN DURING MURDER TRIAL Nonchalance of First Days of Trial Gave Way During Day to Tears, Richmond, Aug. 18.—(/P)—The non chalance of Rudolph Disse gave way today to tears. The 20-year-old triple slayer broke down completely and cried like a child as his aged mother took the witness stand in his defense, and was unable to testify, and had to be taken from the court room in a-hys terical condition. It was the "first sign of emotion shown by the' boy who shot and killed his sweetheart, his rival and a police detective, and wounded an automobile salesman here on July 28th last. He wept loud and long, "as did his father, who pre* {•ceded the mother on the Stand as the first witness in his son's defense. Disse was brought; into the Cotryt room jitst before the opening of the day's session of the trial, apparently as cheerful and calm as prosecuting witnesses testify he was 'when he shot to 'death Mrs. Vivian Tomlin Peers, 18-year-bJd Iclpthing nibdH< ! *rid De tective J.

This is historically true. From the discovery of this continent to the present hour there is a single voice making this affirmation.” The opinion pointed to Christopher Columbus, prior to his sailing west ward, obtaining a commission from “Ferdinalul and Isabella, by the Grace of God. King and Queen of Castile,” and reciting that “it is hoped by God’s assistance some of the conti nents and islands in the ocean will be discovered, etc.” Justice Brewer went further and traced other “by the Grace of God” documents, beginning with the first ■Colonial Land Grant.
