Resolved that Moses was a greater leader than the Apostle Paul. What you say to that? Which side of the query do you want? IVell. Moses got the laurels by the help of Ed Brattlier. Paul was mighty popular with all hands and especially with McKissiek & .Tiniison. who fought valiantly to “whip the question." Preacher Sims tried to look awful ly sanctimonious while P. D. Herndon brayed like a hungry mule and Elmer honked like a fat hog and Preacher Black shook like a tin bucket over a boiling tea kettle. Fletcher Hord grinned like a basket of ’possum beads while the ladies giggled gleefully. Wayne Ware and Joe Xeisler bubbled over with joy while the Old Man Page joined the rest of the white folks in a genuine old-time break down hilar ious spell. The negroes enjoyed the meeting to full measure and espe cially when they snared the silver net around “our white, friends” and be gan calling for shekels like the twin auctioneers trying to market a hard lot. Preacher Sims soon quit his foolish ness and every time the speaker would address the "gentlemen of the jury" or “Mr. Foreman and yer follerin’" he would boil over like a pot of soap when a drop of water strikes it. When we came out I’.rother Sims wiped his weeping eyes and said to me, “Brother Page. I owe you a debt of gratitude that T can never pay without eating dinner with you some time.” Preacher Black said "It is the rich est thing I ever got into in my life.” When the collection got up to SB.OB it struck a snag. The damsel who had started it off with a dollar and a spiel -had long ago turned the auction eering over to Brtcher and McKis sick, who had yelled themselves hoarse. And the harder they yelled the harder the other sang. Finally j McKissiek addressed Brtcher saying “Are you gwine to terminate the eol- J lection here?" Whereupon Bratcher! answered and said in many tears and I a doleful swing of the head, "I did i want ten dollars but it looks like I shall have to terminate without it.” I This moved Elmer, who is cashier ! of the bank and has plenty of money. I and he spoke up to the white folks j and said "Boy, they ought to have it. I late give it to.’em." Then our folks shelled out again and when silence' was again had and the count was made, it was determined that over eleven, dollars had been laid on the table to help pay the debt off of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church and the negroes were overflowing with joy and glad ness and sang the songs of Zion with a fegvor and made many addresses of gratitude to the good white folks, i This was all done last Friday night. The colored folks out at Mt. Olive, just beyond the underpass on the Battleground road invited Rev. J. C. Black “To come out and bring several of his most important members and a few deacons to help decide whether Moses or Paul was the greater.” The matter was to be discussed in debate stJrßhto the members of the congre gatfon. of the speakers didn’t 1 show np. In fact most of them were I conspicuous by their absence. But you can’t down a hunch of ne- ! gross when the collection depends up- i on.a program. So Ed Bratcher agreed Ito take the part of Moses without a I bit of preparation. Jim ison agreed to THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE | “1 am a six to eight hour tisten- I er-in each day.” explained “Miss I i Radio" upon being crowned queen \ |of the DX fans. “I set the alarm ' j clock to call me to my radio for 1 any program in which I am in- t | terested —night or day. I have i an extension cord for my loud < speaker which permits me to move ( It from room to roam as i do my l i housework.” i "Miss Radio’s” new ambition is to be a broadcaster of radio pro- < grams, now that she has excelled i at receiving them. Her interest ] in radio began when she was con- l fined bv illness to her bed. and told i by her physician that she never I would be well again How she ’ cnervri«e4 biro the recalled! I =szri-~ - - tni-c~,- switch from Moses to Paul and Mc- Kissick agreed to do a turn for the Apostle. Preacher Black was asked to name a set of jury from his flock prespnt while Plato pumped up the lamp to make a brighter light. G. G. Page, P. I). Herndon, A. H. Sims, El mer Herndon and D. F. Hord were appointed but Elmer wriggled out and put Preacher Black in his place. So j we sat in judgment. Bratcher was first to the bat. He said that he couldn’t make any sort of beginning until lie knew he had his crowd with 'aim. So. he lined out two stanzas of "Moses and the Lamb" and they all sang gloriously. Then he could speak. And did. He made the fur fly as lie recounted the great work ‘ of Moses in leading the children out og Egypt and the writing of the ten ! commandments, etc. He showed great knowledge of the Scriptures and beat lots of learned white folks we have seen undertake similar jobs. He wound up by assuring the gentlemen of the jury that he would gather up \ some pints and do better on the sec ond round. George Patterson was j called and failed. Jimison was next up. He too must get the folks with him. So. he asked I all present to sing with him. “Must Jesus Bear file Gross Alone.” snying that was the hymn Paul and Silas sang in prison and was a great fav-j trite with the Apostle whom lie had come to defend. He would detract nothing from Moses’ claims but put Patti in n different grade of leader-1 • ship. He made some fine points in; favor of his man and declared that he believed that he would “whip the I ease.” Then McKissiek took the floor in favor of Paul and in great fervor de-j fended him against all comers. He j said he was a little bit tongue tied but ; if the gentlemen of the jury would I listen close they would find out what j he was saying. lie said the negroes! could'listen if they wanted to but lie; was up to convince the jury that Pail!! was greater than Moses. He said in great heat “Am gain’ to down Moses." j "The ease explains itself in spite of .all the knowledge," he declared confi dently to the jury. He made a fine j defense and sat down declaring that ; he believed ’lie had won out. Ed Bratcher pomes again to the | claims of Mooes and says "I feels a | right smart better now." He sets the i woods afire to the extent that McKis- I sick arises and asks that the query he again stated in order that Bratcher may know what to talk about. But | Bratcher knew what to talk about and j went to it. He had been piling up i the "good pints” all this time and was' ready to go at it with gloves off. He was only a few minutes showing that Paul wasted the first half of his life fooling around and -persecuting the church while Moses was always a good boy and applied himself to wor thy undertakings. Each of these speakers had obvious ly passed ttieir half century mark and spokes a* men who were fully con scious of the fact that they must soon pass out to meet their records. Neith er wanted to say anything about eith er Paul or Moses that they would be ashamed to meet them with on high. At times they grew grave and serious and brought forth “amena'r as big as gallinippers from all parts of the house and Brother Sims would swell 'up and tears as big as huckleberries; would roll down his cheeks like little | boys sliding down a potato hill. Pres-; ! ently something would come along to j 1 wipe away all tears and set the whole I house in tumult. I The speaking closed and the Jury' retired to the ante-room. Preacher “1 forgot my condition through the thrill 1 got frojr radio. Soon ] was gaining strength each day, Within the four walls of my home I have heard every thing human ears could hear—operas sung ay if bv my bedside: orators whose eloquence held me still: statesmen discussing the nation’s needs with me: baseball games with thrills sot each score. “I heard the aeroplane broad casting 4.500 feet above Chicago and also the deep sea diver taih from the bottom of the ocean. Even the Liberty Bell tolled for mo on New Year’s Eve. 1 have listened’ by radio to travelogues and havo visited all corners of the earth through them.” Sims was elected foreman and a deci sion declared in favor of Moses. Brother Sims made the announcement and commended the negroes highly for their splendid knowledge of the Scrip tures and took no account of the ref erence that had been made to Lot as . the grandson of Moses and nephew of . Aaron. | Now, after all is said and done it | was a good meeting. The negroes have an air of devotion and sincerity about their worship that the white folks know nothing about. I don't know but they get n little closer to the throne too. Rev. M. A. Osborne talking Camp Meeting. ; T. B. Laney in Monroe Journal. ! The Rev. M. A. Osborne, from out at Waxhaw, was in town this morn ; ing and called by our place and it seemed like renewing old aequaint anee for he is a Union county product and nearer than that he is from Bu , ford. He is home folks and one who vent and made good just like all | other Union county folks. Throw I them into a jungle and they will come out with honors. Look at the good preachers that left from I'nion county and went to other places and made good: Sam, George, and Darling Belk, George Moser, M. i A. Osborne, Tom Rogers, and E. K. MeLarty. Steve Stewart. Sneed Og burn. George Stevens. James, Ed and Sam Jamg and many others. And every one of them stands right at the top and the people look upon them as successful men and as 1 say, throw them anywhere, Japan, ! China, Mexico, or Africa, or any civi lized place, they will come through with honors. Why? They are the j class of people that go out to make good and will make good regardless. : Rev. Mr. Osborne wfis talking camp I meeting and lie says the aim of the I ministerial folks and the good people is to have the best camp meeting ever, land have Dr. Sam Belk and By rum there to wade in with gloves off, knock sinners right and left, and the Rev. Mr. Osborne to back atop, and with every base full, and Dr. Sam Belk at the bat, and when he knocks a home run the Pleasant Grove camp ground will score the biggest success in the history of camp meetings. And all the good folks will be there and file ones not so good and the order of the day will be the hand shak ing of old friends and the meeting of loved ones and the* revival and the rekindling of the good spirit and the old fellows and sisters will peep through the entervening veil and see themselves happy on the other shore. And it will be a Union county meet ind by Union county people for Un ion county people. Not Permitted, But Is It Stopped? Raleigh Times. “Absolutely not,” wires Pardon Commissioner gink to the Florida authorities seeking information as to whether Nqrth Carolina permits the flogging of convicts in penitentiasy or on chain gang. And unquestionaly Mr. Sink Is right in hie etatement that it positively is not permitted. The Supreme Court of the State of North Carolina in the case of the State against Nipper several years since said the same thing, holding that the section of the Constitution forbidding “cruel and unusual pan-1 ixhment” positively prohibited the use of Black Aggie, as the strap which 1 floggings were administered was called. .

M. Register quit Tillery for Raleigh be cause he would not assist at such functions. From time to time cases have been brought in court charging convict guards and supervisors with inhuman ity which took the form of flogging. Only recently Judge Sinclair presided at the trial of such an offender and imposed a prison sentence on a guard. There is'under indictment in Stanly county now a supervisor-charged with flogging and worse. . The State Constitution and for the past few years the bulk of sentiment which the people have vocalised have absolutely forbidden the usd of the laßh. In hns official pronouncement Mr. Sink speaks truly for North Car olina. But the State will indeed be fortu nate if the Supreme Court, Judge Sin clair and Governor McLean have* real ly convinced those haring the custody of convicts that the practice must be abandoned. Burbank’* “Beliefs.” Charlotte Observer. • s* r - Luther Burbank, known to I™** ** the “plant wisard," recently “jined” the Maeons and was graduat '«• In the thirty-third degree. Last week Mr. Burbank gave the people la modified thrill by reason of a pub lic statement that he belongs to the classification of the “ton* infidel,*’ and th»t he does not believe in the God 1 f-, '7 ■ of Moses and Isaiah. When state ! ment of that kind went forth, Bome.of ! Burbank's Masonic friends made i prompt apiwoach with the rather ein : barrassing question as to how he . “squared” his belief with hia member ■ ship in the Masonic Order—for the i Masons believe in God and the Bible. Naturally, the great plant grafter was i momentarily set-back, but pretty soon eaugbt his stride. He explained, that . his eoneeption of Masonry as to the Supreme Being was in accordance i with his beliefs aDd ideals. While he I is at variance with the creeds and dogmas of revealed religion and in the persistence of personal identity i after death, he does not believe in a I supreme being of some kindfi bnt he i accepts it as spiritual and not “an thropomorphua” In any sense. From it might be inferred that Mr. , Burbank does not believe in anything : he says he believes in. Cook and the Pole. Charlotte Observer.
