Blackwell held the at tention of his entire congregation last night at Calvary Baptist Mls-j sion with his forceful sermon from the subject "The Funeral of a Soul.' As a lesson for the night, he read the three instances in which Christ. had raised from the dead the girl, the young man and Lezarus. The girl had only been dead for a few minutes when Christ had been call ed in and ra'sed her from .death. The young man had been dead for 24 hours. Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days. Was it any hard er for Jesus to raise Lazarus than it was to restore v to life the girl whose breath had just fled? Dr. Blackwell stated that the boy or girl who first willfully disobeys God and obeys the devil, at that very time that boy or girl is dead, spiritually dead, just as dead as the harlot or debauchee whose whole life his been spiritually dead. The trouble, he declared, is that we do not believe that they are dead when they first step over the line and that no effort is made at that time to save them from spiritual death. We are on the subject of sanita tion, working every way possible to prevent the death of the . body and spending money to save lives, but the tragedy of death 1b not the death of the body, but "the . death of the soul. We try hard to prevent a fun eral, but do not pay so much atten tion to the yttle beginnings that cause spirtual death. At the first signs of a few degrees of fever, we send for a doctor. Do we send for i preacher to pray over the little hoy or rtI that first shows a few degrees of soul fever, by telling a little falsehood? The trouble is that we do not be lieve that they are dead, that we try to smother it up as the woman does when her husband gets mad and blacks her eye. She ran aeainst the door. We do not think that it will amount to much. Dr. Ulackwell says that he has no sympathy with the I .a., man's Movement to go to the ends of t lie earth and save the sinners within the next 2T years. With the money and facilities they hive in hand, if they really bel eved that anybody's soul Is dead, they could reach all of them within Si) days. This lack of be'ief in the spiri tual death causes more infidelity in the church and does more harm to the church than all of the so-called Infidels, for their kind of infidel ity is less dangerous than that of the mother or father who will not believe that their son' or daughter is dead 1n sin. because they do not show the signs as does the marked and disfigured man or woman whose whole life has been one of sin. Conditions indicate that those who are saved either do not believe that there are others dead, or they have lost their faith in the power of Jesus to raise them from the dead, one of the two must be the case, or they would be more active In bring ing the dead soutg of the loved ones and friends to Christ, who has the power to raise them from death. Heaven will not be i heaven, If It Is not inhabited by some of those that we have led to Christ. The Joy of heaven will not be complete unless someone stops us there and says: "You prevented men from go ing down to a mlserale death, you rol'ed away the stone snd brought lesus In to raise me from that death unto life, you led Christ Into my soul." Dr. niackwell's sermon was a powerful appeal to the church mem bers to become active in the work of saving souls, to go out snd hrlnt? them Into the fold.

BICKETT, who will address the voters of Pasquotank County at the Court House, To-night. October 17, 7:30 p. m. Testifies From . Death House (By United Press) New York, Dct 17 Out of S!ng Sing deathhouse to give evidence that may crush another inmate there, weasel-eyed Gaetno Monti mago testified against Michael A. Rofrano, charged with murder. Rofrano the broken Boss of Lit tle Italy and former deputy street cleaning Commissioner of New fork City, is on trial for kllMng Mike Galmarl, hla political enemx.'.,,.. Montimago says today that Rofra no gave him three hundred dollars and a dirk with which to stab Gnl- marl to death. AT ALKRAMA WEDNESDAY William S. Hart, who is starred by the Triangle Kay-Heff in "The Aryan." at the A'krama Wednesday night plays the part of a ruKSed man of the des-ert, who, having been fleeced of his fortune by vampire women of a lawless town, turns hat fully against the entire feminine nex. How be becomes ruler of a b-.ml of renegades in a minimr camp, utterly despislnp, womert for ensuing years until he Is awakened to the code of his race by a gentle fearless little girl who. trust b him, is the dominant note of tne story. That William S. Hart, the stir of 'The Arynn." is so true to the life of tthe West is because he was rab'i'd on the plains of North Da kota among the Slotix Indiana. Sur rounded by sold'ers at an army post, he had set his heart on becom ing a soldier, but coming East to enter a military academy, he drift ed into acting. Still Believes In Honor System (by United Press) New York, Oct. 17 Out as honor system warden of Sing Sing, Thom as Mott Osborne, is now establish ed in New York as cosulting engi neer of prison reform, giving his service without charge. "I am still convinced riat there are no bad men in the world" he said today, "and I am sure that my method Is right and will one day be the nly Method used.'" "Do you thing that Dr. Arthur Warren Walte who confessed the murder of his wife's parents 1b a ;.,oi , man," he was asked. ' I think Waite waB excessively abnormal. I studied him in the death house. He is un'que. His type is not found even once in a generation. " "Should he die in (lie electric chair?" was asked. ,'l 'would not kill anybody, re-i plied Mr. Osborne. "AVaite should be locked up for life. But his case stands alone.' In all but these lsolat ed the honor system is a complete success. Its enemies cannot hurt it.

Thousands cf peop' from all over North Caro lina are assembl ng here as usual, only a little more so this year, and the indications are for the biggest ciowd and the greatest State Fair in a generation. This week marks the annual reunion of North Caro lina folks. So many Tarheels never get together on any other occasion. They come "from Currituck to Cher okee," and thousands meet each other at the State aFir each year who seldom, If ever, see each other at any other time. Hundreds and probably thousands come here the third week of eevry October largely for that purpose, for the meeting of old acquaintances and congenial friends is one of the real enjoyment of life and a good thing to ndulge in. REPUBLICANS WHO CAN'T SUP PORT HUGHES There has been a great deal of favorable comment on the 'Charley McKesson Letter," In which that fluent and eloquent Republican 'for thirty, years" (as he assures us) an nounces that he is for President Wilson' reflection snd ft We tome mighty good reasons' why he pre fers him to Hughes. Mr. McKesson is not alone in the attitude he takes with respect to the relative fitness of the two candidates for the great est office within the gift of thte A merican people. It Is a long list that the names ot prominent Re publicans who will support Mr. Wil son this, year makes not because they have embraced the Democratic faith so much as because they are convinced thi.t the re-ection of the President will be bes( for the coun try for its best interests and for the whole American people. This extract from Mr. McKes son's ample letter should be Ini pri'ssod upon all who are now open to conviction. It is a dense mind that cannot grasp his point of view. Referring to the Adamson 8-hour jaw, Mr. McKisson says: "Thouglv this master, was dls-i cussed in Congress and the public press for many days, Hughes was a dumb as an oyster about It. 1 he was opposed to It he did not s'ly so. The truth is that if the trlke had come Hughes would have denounced Wilson and Congress for failure to pass It, and ahy man who knowg anything of him knows this is true. "In common with htousnnds of Republicans. I am sorely snd deep ly disappointed in the speaking tour ot Hughes. No presidential candi date of whom I have any know ledge ever made so weak, fruitless evasive campaign as he Is making. His speeches are simply 'a deluge of vociferous commonplaces.' "At best he Is a 'common scold,' and has not aroused the least en thusiasm or uttered a single sug gestion of constructive statesman ship. If he ever had any statesman ship Ideas, they are now In a sterile state of frostv fermentation. Just received, and up to the min ute In style and quality. Ladles Suits and Coats.

TEDDY 1 Oil EOS MID ONE TIME INVINCIBLE SOUTH' PAW WILL ATTEMPT; .TO CHECK DEMOCRATIC GAINS New York, October 17. Repub licanism drew out for plajr- io-itf it's one time treat . southpaw tad sent him Into the box. The Repub lican battery from now until Elec tion will be Roosevelt . and HugheA and Teddy believes he can itrlk 1 Wilson out every time the Demo cratic Idol and home runner comet to the bat. The Colonel left this morning for. his big western trip. He speaks fn, five states on this tour; Kentucky, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado tnd Illinois. His greatest effort will be mde in Kentucky where he is, sche . duled for thirteen stops before swoopin 'down on Louisville. " This tour will be the Colonel'l first real offensive against the Demo crats. Teddy says he will make it ' that way for the Democrats in botH senses of the word. . He returns home from this tour on October 28th. Meanwhile Hughes is blazing ft ' trail of alleged Democratic short , comings across the middle west Bickett Spe$ks ,.: At 7;30 Tonight A big crowd is expected to hear Attorney-General Thomas W. J31ck ett, Democratic nominee for Qoy-t ! ernor, speak at the courthouse here tonight. The hour has been chang ed to 7: 30. Mr. Bickett was heard here by an audience that packed the courtj house to the windows on the occt- sion of Elizabeth City's' last Memor ial Day celebration and so com pletely did the speaker captivate his audience that all who heard him tben will be doubly anxious to hear him again at this their next oppor tulty to do so. Reports of Mr. Blckett's campaign speeches over the state have been most enthusiastic in praise of the nominee's rare gifts as an orator and seem to Indicite that he is more than sustaining the reputation he has already won . and more than meeting the expectations of those who urged h's candidacy before the primary. Statue To Lee At Gettysburg (By United Press) Gettysburg, Pa., Oct. 17 The much discussed monument to Gen eral Robert E. Lee, commander ot the Confederate forces at the Bat tle of Gettysburg, was dedicated on Gettysburg field here today.
