Alonzo Anderson, was given the limit of the manslaughter law, twenty years | at hard labor in the State .neniten tiary, Thursday by Judge I*. <A. Mc- Elroy. For the first time duHng flie trial the towering mountaineer showed signs of emotion.. His face flushed up and he frowned. rjAen turned to hold a whispered conversation with his father, equally a*i large a man as "Big Bob" but \vith the swarthy com plexion and high cheek bone® of an American Indian, in sharp contrast to the fair hair and fair skin of his ginnt son. Throughout the whole of the trial, "Black Bob" never moved from the side of his son, sitting there with no emotion, sentiment or sympa thy expressed by his stoical features.

Kan napolis, for the past two weeks are having an enlarging influence upon j the town and community. The aud ; - | Ourium of St. John's Church has been amply large enough to seat the large j crowds that have been attending the J | services. I The evangelistic party consists of I Evangelist R. E. Johnson, who has * held many Mg tabernacle meetings throughout the United and i Canada for the past 25 years; Bible t teacher ami worker among young peo- - pie; Miss Nora Killian, whose influ ence/is being greatly felt, especially ! among the Women and young people; and song leader and pianist Mr, and j Mrs. Jesse 11. Thomas, who are both | splendid musicians. The entire party is entirely consecrated and is giving I Kannapolis an evangelistic campaign : of a very high order, j In addition to the regular audi | ences. the following delegations have attended one of the services in a body : Patriotic Order Sons ofoAmer- j MISS KILLIAN fjMjl i> „ y\ m |3|||i|p <n|'4 p-A*.; jqliicp Who is assisting in Revival at Ivan- j napolis iea, the Boy Scouts, the Red Men, the Woodmen of the World, and the Men j and Women Bible Classes of the I Methodist Church. Thursday night the high school attended in a body and took an active part in the service. Tonight the ’ Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Kannapolis Lodge and also members of the Concord Lodge, will attend in a body. On Sunday night, April 26th perhaps the largest delegation which has yet attended, will be present. We are not allowed < to say what delegation will attend the 1 Sunday night service, but the general ' public is invited to come and see. i One of tht fine features of this cam paign has been the large children's : chorus that has been conducted by i Mr. Thomas. He meets the children on Tuesday* and Fridays and they oc- i cupy seats in the gallery at the eve- 1 ning services and are a valuable help in the singing. • Another fine feature of the cam paign has been Miss Killian's work in ' 1 supervising the cottage morning pray er meetings and her talks to the I young ladies. These efforts will have lan abiding effect upon the entire I community. 1 Mr. Johnson's messages are clear • and simple and filled with the very spirit of God. \ Every' afternoon Mr. Johnson speaks at 3 o’clock and Miss Killian con ducts a Bible half hour at 4 o'clock. • Service every evening at 7:30. Sun day will be a great day in the cam paign. Sunday school will be held at 9:30 a. m. At 10:30 Mr. Johnson will speak. At 3 :00 p. m. Mr. John -1 son will speak to the men at the Y and Miss Killian will speak to the women at St. John's Reformed Church. As this service will not conflict with the services -in other churches people for this surrounding section should at tend these services Sunday after j noon. At 6 :45 Mr. Thomas and Miss I Killian will meet the young people, j A great service will be held at the I Church Sunday evening at 7:30. The j services will continue through Mon- I day night. The public is urged to take advant- I age of these services. P. Effort For Naught. Salisbury Post. Evidently the Republicans have i been making every effort to hold Charles A. Cannon to the; senatorial : engagement to widely they nominated him without his approval. Mr. Can | non rally not be old in years, but wise j enough in the head to know for a certainty that an empty honor gets | no'.’hing, while the party conferring j the honor would be glad to use such j an upstanding young man of mind and | wealth to prize the grand old party ' a little better on the up-grade in the state. The nominee As able to. see and to think straight and to be hot: over come with delusions. His conduct rather indicates that he is better sen atorial timber than the aforesaid party really suspected; better sena torial timber than eandidating putty. Some pretty well set up plans arc thus put to the pot. The Naval Academy track and field team meets six opponents this season, closing with the annual match against the Military Academy ;on May 29.
