Dl England, J. F. HayB, R. R/Deaver, and T. H. Ship man. This is now the oldest bank in Western North Carolina and in all the years of its existence has never failed to pay a dividend. Its stock, is always at a premium and hard to buy as no one likes to part with so good an investment. The present value of the stock, as shown in 'a statement on another page, is |186. This Silver Anniversary will be marked by the opening of bids for the erection of the bank's new home on the teouth east corner of Main and Caldwell Streets.

Two carved panels further ornament the fnont. \ I The vestibule and the lobby, vjflch> is forty feet long, have tnar >le tiled floors and marble wains-, noting.

THE RESOLUTIONS: Resolved that we, the Republicans of Transylvania assembled in Con vention do express our regrets at the death of our beloved President, Warreiv G. Harding and we do ap- | prove of the manhood and .humane feeling of this great man of our party and of our country. We resolve also that President Calvin Cooledge now our firm and statesmanlike leader has the firm con fidence of the nation and that his fair stand in the oil inquiry meets approval, and we endorse him as j candidate for the Presidency to sue- 1 ceed himself and as leader of our j great and glorious party. That we condemn the wild and I extravagant, expenditure of States (mjoney bj* the vDemoeratlic State j government; that we condemn the. I policy of this State government which gived a salary of the State's I (treasury to .subsidize news papers and newspapermen in glutting the I public mind with foul and untruth- | ful propaganda of ^he State's affairs. I / We condemn any person er per- I 'sons in any way. connected with the I "oil scandal" ?nd we back to the last I ditch any person who strives to con- I vict them. Albert Fall; Doheny; Mc- I Adoo and all. We resolve that the record of this J State's machine Is likened unto the | fajl of the Roman Empire, submer-l to the recent tax pollector .pf the J State who -hi shame ,wm buried iA'J his own history and wiped out the! negro question from North Carolina I politics. We point to the Lieuten- j ant - Governor of the State as he j strives and . struggles in the quag- I mires of embezzling despondency ? I robbing the people of our State and I several thousand dollars of State's! money which was placed in his bank | as a favor granted to him by the I flag - flying Democratic Party.

OUR RALEIGH ' COMMUNICATION Kaleigh, N. C., March 10. ? Ev angelist M, F. Ham "rounded out" hiB fourth week in Raleigh yester day afternoon with an able and im pressive sermon on "The Second Coming of Christ." The big wood en temple was packed to the doors with interested auditors who follow ed the preacher closely in his match less discourse upon this wonderful theme. x The manner in which the evangelist treated his subject show< ed deep research, and unquestioned Inspiration from the source of every good and precious gift. He was deeply in earnest and impressed his hearers with the sincerity of pur pose and the convincing way in which his convictions were unfolded unto tAem. It was a wonderful meeting. On more than one occasion, Mr. Ham has made the suggestion- that this is a day of counterfeits and humbugB and that nothing has suff ered more at the hands of the count erfeiter than- pure, unadulterated religion. He thinks that the man with counterfeit religion is the most dangerous of all counterfeiters, be cause he leads to the destitution of ipimqrrtal( souls. Simple confessions do not satisfy, in the opinion of Mr. Ham. Saved by grace and not by works only, is the doctrine he is dispensing in Raleigh. He would have the churches purge themselves of "faithless, graceless, members and present the genuine christian as a shining light to a 'stti sick world groping in darkness. The combined attendance at the Ham-Ramsay meetings the past four weeks is conservatively placed at 90. 000. Witb favorable weather twice that number would have "passed through the portals" of the big tab ernacle. The l}multttudes" are hearing, him gladly He dispenses no loaves or fishes, but hands . out a line of spiritual food which' satisfies* the '"ninety and nine". Monday is rest day with the Ham night Raleigh" listened to thfc opening campaign speech by ,1 1 W. Btfiley: candidate for the dem^-, era tic nomination fair governor. Mr. Bailey Was in a beliggerent frame of mind and let his hearers understand ? that he is not in the fight simply to hear himself talk ' He emphasized the issues enumerated in the plat farm announcing his candidacy two months airo and announced his in tention. of "carrying on" until the last day of the campaign.
