Coming through Fayetteville he brought with him Dr. Horrift, county health officer of Cum berland county. A* the colored church waa two mites away, the colored men had been assembled on the outside of the church arhere, through ths wide open doors and windows, they could view the screen.

Foreign Exchange la In The Cellar Again In Foee of Largest Geld Import Movement of Year, SterBag Falls to 93.4« 1.8 New York, Sent. 11.—In the face of the largest gold Import movement of the year, the local market for for eign exchange was more severely un settled today. Remittances to London declined to lowest quotations ia six months, with coaeorrsat weakness of rates to leading continental European points. Heavy offerings of bills, which pro bably represented sales of grains and cotton with aa admixture of specula tive offerings, forced sterling down to M-O 1-4 or two and one-half cents under yerterday'a beet quota tion and soma 10 cents under that of a few weeks ago. Tojtay’s minimum price is the low ort for British exchange since the early part of last March, but cousid orably above that of Fabroary 4. when international remittances were in a state of demoralisation. The British rate then fell to 98.18. aa againrt a normal or prewar rate of approximately 34.8«, Implying a or over as per cent, white French, Belgian and Italian bills were at discounts extending from At to 77 per cent with virtually no bid for laarks e» German ex change. Bankers and international broken professed to be without InforaaMoa »• U> the cause of the recent reaction except to ompkasixe this country's predominant trade position. The seri ous industrial unaettlomeat now re- ' Preted by conditions in Kagisnd and 1 July else was regarded at a more Urns sentimental factor. WIU. BAPTISTS TO HOLD STATE MEETING Kiaoton, N.
