One of the chief of the group of well known women—Nell Rattle Lewis—has already announced her purjiose of supporting "Bob" Reynolds for Tttited States senator. She made the announcement in last Sunday's issue of the News and Ob- ! | server. Miss Lewis has wide ac- i ■ quaintance and influence. There are others all-intent on the success) of what they beiieve is needful legis lation, and they are inclined to be lieve that the women of the state * have a better friend in ■ Reynolds. These women point to the fact that Reynolds has announced his position [ in favor of the secret ballot—one of I the chief demands of organized wom en. Reynolds is also ’heartily in I favor of woman's suffrage. . Has al ways been. lie is standing by the! women in politics. Tabulated reports that have come I to Raleigh from more than fifty coun-1 ties indicate that Reynolds is lending j with a large majority, and these coun ties include several of the larger coun-1 ties in the state.

I BIBLES DISTRIBUTED Work of the American Bible Society Ear the Year 1925.—Reports of Presbyterian Work. Chattanooga, Tenn., May 12.—(4D —Nearly two and a half million more Bibles were distributed in 1925 Chan tin 1924 by the American Bible So teftty, according to Its annual report I prepared for transmission to the gen eral assembly of the Presbyterian Church at Pensacola, Fla., May 20th. To date, 9,069,120 volumes of the Scriptures in more than 180 lan guages and dialeeta have been Issued by the society, the report says. During the year 1925, 1,307,743 more Bibles were issued \by the so- I cicty than in any previous year in the history of the organization. The increase of the year 1924 in the home field, the report adds, amounted to 738,855 volumes, while the foreign field reports issuance of 1.077,966 volumes more than in 1924. "These figures,” continues the re port, “are a source of special satis i faction, as they show a healthy ad- I vanee in both fields, with the largest l gains among the people of the Far East. file China agency broke all previous records by reporting 4,075,- 853 volumes for 1925. The Japa nese and Philippine agencies each doubled their 1924 issues. The soviet government of Russia has given permission to print Rus sian Scriptures on t'ae government presses in Leningrad and Moscow and the society has provided between SIO,OOO and $15,000 for the purpose ,of making new electrotype plates i from which to print these, the report sets forth. This permission comes, j it is said, “after several years of violent opposition to the Bible.” Report cf Publication Committee. Chattanooga. Tenn . May 12. —WD —Every department of t'ae publica tion committee of the Presbyterian i Church in the United States made ■ progress during the fiscal year 1925- 20. says the annual report of that committee prepared for delivery to the general assembly of the church | at Pensacola, Fla.. May 20t1i. | “One measure of our service to the church is the volume of sales in the | book and periodical departments." the report says. . “In both these depart ' ments former records were surpassed. | The total volume of business was $Ol9 000. compared with $504,000 for the previous year.” J Circulation of t'ae committee's 27 j periodicals reached a total of 16,596,- | 483 oopies, a gain of 1.344.055 over ! 1924, the report shows. "We changed I the beginners and primary depart- I mental papers from simple black and ) white pictures to highly artistic il lustrations in five eo'ors,” it con tinues. "The circulation increased more than 400,000 copies as a re sult.” One feature of Hie report is the advocacy of the establishment of a “family altar in the home." "The default of the home in main taining a Christian atmosphere, in exercising control ami discipline ov er children and young people, and in guiding youth in developing Chris tian character and in right living is unquestionably the cause of the surge of crime and moral decadence that is sweeping the world," declares the report. “The church is challenged as nev er before to assume her leadership in the fight against evil. . . No greater purifying and steadying influence can be introduced into a home than es tablishing a family altar. We have given close attention to this feature of our work during the year and added three new leaflets and pam phlets to our list of promotion ma terial.” Bible Clam Study. Chattanooga. Tenn..

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE TALKING ABOUT ROADS. j r Charlotte Observer, f The Concord Tribune is making discussion of the uupaved section of l highway between the Cuh.urus line, . east of Mount Pleasant; and the junc i ture of the Concord and Charlotte . roads on the hill just west of Albe* marie. The whole length of this bigh . way is In Stanly Conntv and is one of . that county’s best types of sand clay! , For all that, it is dusty and danger , ous. It i s put in ev derive by The . Tribune that “the Concord-Albemarle I road la one of the most important in the state. The opening of the toad I from Albemarle to Charlotte, a road . parallel with the road already built, i has not relieved traffic on the old , route. We had occasion to use the . road aeveral days ago and at times it , was necessary Jto come to a halt to i avoid accidents because no one could | see In the dust every time two oars met. Human life comes bfore mon . ey. Something should be done with . th : s road.” The suggestion is that this road be : given a treatment of tarvin. or sand . asphalt, similar to that used in con- I verting other sand clay roads into . dlistless highways, and this brings . to the mind of The Observer a sitna i tion in Cabarrus of exact nature to that complained of in Stanly. It is , the unpaved section of eight miles . across lower Cabarrus on No. 27, t the State highway between Charlotte | and Albemarle, in the cross-State sys , tem to Raleigh. Cabarrus has not . provided funds for the paving of her . part of this highwny and it is in the ■ exact condition of the unpaved sec tion from the Cabarrus line to Albe t marie, on No. 74. The conditions on the lower Cabarrus road, however, are a little more uncomfortable, not l to say dangerous, because the road . runs as straight as a string and dust , hangs over it Fke a pall. Travel on > that highway is heavy, and during the . dry season it is the same as navigat- I ing through a thick fog. i But what can Highway Commis , sioner Wilkinson do about it? Stan ly will not pave toward Concord and , Cabarrus will not pave between Clinr . lotte and Albemarle. The Observer . relating the Stanly side of the situa . t en. might unfold a tit-for-tat devel-’ opment. Because of the unpaved gap between Albemarle and Charlotte. Stanly decided to leave an unpaved gap between its county seat and the Cabarrus County seat. so. instead of [laving toward Concord, let contract to pave toward Salisbury. Cabarrus put up the money to pave to Mount Pleasant and on toward Bear Creek to the Stanly line in expectation that Stanly would meet the paving there, to establishment of a hard surface be tween the two towns. Stanly and Mecklenburg paved to their respect ive lines on No. 27. with expectation that Cabarrus would pave the stretch of eight miles across her lower border. Cabarrus failed Stanly and Mecklenburg, and Stanly failed Ca barrus. Possibly ; f Cabarrus will agree to pave her eight miles on the lower route. Stanly might bargain to pave her 15-odd miles from Albemarle to the Cabarrus line. Why ran not these two counties sit in around the conference table? Doctor Geo. R. Stuart Dead. Charlotte Observer. Dr. George R. Stuart, side partner with Sam .Tones in the famous series of evangelistic meetings wh>h swept over the South 15 and more years ago answered a sudden summons at his home in Birmingham Tuesday after noon. Doctor Stuart is well remem bered by the older people of Char lotte by reason of his activities at the old Tryon Street Methodist Church, back in the 80's, which resulted in the conversion of a number of bankers and business men in Charlotte and erection of the first Young Men's Christian Association hoiu». Doctor Stuart quit the evangelistic field af ter the death of Sam Jones, ar.d en tered the ministry as pastor of a Methodist Church in KnoxviVe going thence to Birmingham, where, for 11 years, he had officiated as pastor of the First Methodist Church. Infor mation of his death was received with many expressions of profound vegret by delegates to the General Confer ence at Memphis, and B'sliop Mouzon properly classed him as "a g 'f at man and a great preacher."

Miss Berry has been edndurting this school for the past twenty-five years. She be gnn with five little ragged boys who didn t know how to read or write. Xow the boys’ high school numbers about 350 students and the Founda j tion school, whit'.i tenches the elemen tary grades, takes care of 130 more. In the girls' school about 250 girls are being trained to lives of useful ness and service. | h Each year Miss Berry has to raise $150,000 to supplement the income | she receives for running the schools. ' Added to this annual task comes the staggering blow of losing the new i dormitory of the Foundation school. l lt had been built to house seventy five boys. This dormitory must be rebuilt at onee, to have it ready for the opening of the term, September Ist. | This additional need la arousing I widespread sympathy among people in various sections of the country.
