The present house ot worship, now
nearing completion, gives us one of the
bi*<t equipped church for Sunday school
in the entire conference, but in the fu
ture as in'the past, we must recognize
that Methodism's progress is marked by
a succession of revivals. • We will J'Xei
,tlier turn to estimating numbers nor ad
miring ourselves.” Rather let us now
sa.v, "Some trust in chariot* anti some
in horses, but we will remember the name
of the Lord our God.”
The great love of Mary Magdalene for
Christ, formed the basis of pit inspiring
and able sermon by Bishop Denny, who
declarwd that nowhere in history was
there a greater love than Mltry had for
her Jjord. In his sermon Bishop Deuny
brought out forceful arguments to show
the greatness of love aud its kindred
subjects—sympathy, service and kind
ness—and showed that in the final analy
sis people nrc remembered not for their
natural greatness but for their spiritual
qualities. •
The text for the sermon is found iu
the 20th chapter ol St. John, from the
first to the twentieth verses, which tell
of the visit of Simon Peter John and
Mary to the tomb of Christ after'his res
urrection.
The Bible, Bishop Denny declared,
does not contain biographies, but rather
inside facts concerning its characters.
The birth, birthplace aud parents of Bi
ble diameters are not mentioned in most
instances, he declared, showing that after
all -these things are not the important
ones. In the ease of Mary Magdalene
the same is true. The Bible does not
give facts about her that would be con
sidered important b.v many. There is no
mention of her age. il'hich is important
now to all women, Bishop • Denny poiuted
out. Xeither is there taention of her
social standing, her wealth or her family

[ Four Men and Two Officers
Make Up Company.
. Company Ej iConcord's unit in the
National 'Guard fbf Xortli Carolina, left
Concord this mutsipg about 5:40 o'clock
for Spruce Pine, Mitchell county, where
a situation fraught with danger has been
created over the race question. The
company was in command of Cnpt. Ken
ilbtli E. Caldwell, who carried frl wen
and Second Lieutenant Norman Alston
witU him. F
1 The order (filing the Concord mili
tia to Spruce J>ine was received by Gapt.
11 at 1:80 this} morning from
Alajor (Jordon Smith, assistant to Ad
jutant Qeneral Alefts. The cal) came
•after Major Smith had communicated
with General Alet'ts, Oho has been at
Spruce Pine for several days and who
was of the opinion last night that addi
tional troops would be needed in the
mountain town to preserve order today
when negro-convicts were to be returned
to the town to fake up road work halted
last week when all negroes were ordered
from the, town by a group of citizens.
The movement of the Concord com
pany was very swift after Gapt. Cald
well received his orders. The “wild
tat." whistle of the Hartsell Mill, which
can.be heard for miles, was immediately
sounded ami this .notified all members
who heard it, the blowing of the whis
tle being n signal for members of Com
pany E. , .The first members.of thecopl
pany to reach the armory assisted Chpf.
Caldwell and Lieut. Alston in notifying
other members who did not hear ’ the
whistle, and by 2:30 o'clock practically
every member of (he company was in
the armory.!
The fastest work. Ijowevef. was done
by ww.bers cqaWnny went (q>
heir they had]
been called to service. By 3:45 o'clock
several members bad arrived from Char
lotte and Salisbury, and earlier titan that
others had reached the armory from
Kannapolis or their home in the county.
At 5:10 o’clock ('apt. Caldwell stated
to a representative of The Tribune that
he would leave with his company in
twenty minutes. He carried out this
plan-and the train left Concord shortly
before 6 o’clock. •
Members of the company left Concord
on a special train which was sent b.v
the Southern Railway Company from
Charlotte tinder orders of Major Smith.
The train reached Concord about 3:30
o'clock, aud heavy equipment of the
company was loaded at once. Bv the
time the company members had all been
assembled and were ready to march to
the station practically all equipment had
been loaded on the train.
The destination of the train was not
announced b.v ('apt. Caldwell, but .it was
expected that it would run all the way
to Spruce Pine. The train would run
on the trucks of the Southern to Marion
and then switch to the C. C. & 0., which
runs into Spruee Pi«e. The company,
is expected to reach its destination late
this afternoon.
Lieut. Hoover did- liot go'with the
company as he is confined to his home
with illness.
This is the fourth time members of
Company’ E have been called out for spe
cial duty. They first served here dur
ing the textile strike. Next they served
at Aberdeen aud Rockinghdm during the
railroad workers strike, nml later in the
same year they served in Spencer near
the shops of the Southern Railway. It
is believed that no other company in the'
State has seen as much special duty as
has the Concord company. Tlie fact
that the Concord company was called
was explained b.v some by reason of the
fine work done by the. company on the
three other occasions when' it was called
on special duty.

at Spruce Pine, N. (}., care of Company
E, should* reach them promptly.
Story From Spruce Pine.
Spruce Pine Oct. 1 (By the Associat
ed Press).—With two companies of nat
ional guardsmen on duty here, aud with
another expected to arrive here during
the forenoon from Concord, N. ('., this
little mountain town was in an excited
state this morning, awaiting the expect
ed attempt of the military to escort back
to their jobs more than 200 negroes who
were driven out by angry citizens last
week, following an attack by a negro on,
an aged white womnn.
Following out orders of Governor Mor
rison. Adjutant General J. Van B. Motts
was expected to send out troops into the.
surrounding country today to offer pro
tection to the deported negroes, who are
said to |>e in on adjoining eouuty, If
they will return to their work on high
way construction. Troops were in evi
dence about' the town at an early hour,
and it previously had been announced
that all negroeir who returned by train
would be afforded military protection
from the train to their work, and .the
soldiers would continue their guardian
ship if citizens of this cppimunity at
tempted to molest the returning negroee.
Early this morning the parties respon
sible for the firing of a fusHade of shots
late last night tfhich created great e*j
citement, had not been apprehended, al
though the soldiers searched the adjoining

Negroes Not Returning.
Spruce Piue, Oct. I.—First efforts to
bring back negro laborers who were driv
en from Spruce Pine last week had failed
up to noon today and some doubt is be
ing expressed as to whether the negroes
will cail* to take chances with the threats
(hat have been made* against theif lives
should they return. " Word was sent
Saturday to heads of construction gangs
who had moved their men out of the
county but there was no word this morn
ing that any of these were on their way
back.
Tfie first jeering of soldiers from the
crowds occurred Sunday afternoon while
horses for. the Asheville cavalry troop
were being unloaded. There was no out
burst, but occasional "ragging" by young
men who gathered to' witness the work
of th# soldiers.
A deputy sheriff walking near the out
skirts of Spruce Pine last night sudden
ly found himself surrounded b.v a crowd
of about twenty-five men. A spokes
man said “If you are on our side stay
with us; if not, keep going." The dep
uty returned to Spruce Pine and report
ed the incident. ,
Many wild rumors are floating. One
isl that a reward of S3OO had been of
fered by leaders of the mob for any per
son who dispatches Ala.vor Fuller or Col. I
Adams. Another is that a crowd of
150 persons went south to stop any ef
forts to return negroes over the Caro
lina Clinchfield and Ohio Railroad. Peo
ple north of Spruce Pine are reported
ready to cheek any return of negroes
from that direction.
Officials of construction companies
here are conferring with counsel to de
termine whether any Federal procedure
may be invoked following the driving of
negro laborers over the Tennessee line.

"The Beautiful and Damned," F. Scott
Fitzgerald's novel of flappers and gilded
■ youth, scored such spontaneous and in
stant success >as a book that it was quick-1
iy captured for the screen. Warner t
Brothers has made it into a picture, with
Mprie l’revost. the piquant actress of
the silent drama, in the starring role. *
In relating the story of the love and
marriage of Anthony Patch and the-vivid
beauty, Gloria, it reveals with devestat
ing satire a section of American society
which lias never before been recognized
as an entity—that wealth, floating popu
lation which throng the restaurants, ca
barets, theatres and hotels of our great
cities —people adrift on a sea of luxury. I
without the anchors- of homes and the'
rudders of responsibility—people without
roots or backgrounds.
Gloria Gilbert, a young, spoiled so
phisticated. but withal appealing little
flapper, toys with men's hearts until she !
falls in love wfFli Anthony Pateh and j
marries him. Anthony is the grandson
of old Millionaire Adafa Pateh. famil

philanthropist who for many years lias
crusaded against Vice. Literature, Sun

father is delighted with the marriage, for
be is convinced it means the reform of
Anthony, in whom ambition is little more
than a whisper.
But instead of improving. Anthony
does nothing but waste time and ener-'
«V in cabarets. He is completed under
Gloria’s spell and gives up business pros
pects that would take him away from
her: he is satisfied only when near her.
This climax is followed b.v other equl
ly tense situations that show the .-strug

lives before they turn their backs on the
old life.
This great picture will be shown at the
