The "King's" downfall .resulted from some "projlcking," as Uncle Remus would have called It, with the lire companies. He got the firemen to sell tickets for him In the mud and slush for a whole week and at the end there of reckoned up the fire department's part of. the profits as 435.

' Tlie Southern Power Company to Have Plenty of Juice.

The plant will generate 80,0(10 of electrical iborsepower from a head of 0 feet. "At Great Falls just below the 32,- 000 horsepower plant and at Rocky Creek, which Is hardly more than a tie from Great Falls, is another 32,-. 000. horsepower station, making, with this Fishing Creek development, ap proximately, .-.lftojjoo or ,, electrical horsepower generate at this one point.

I missed the formal welcoming ad dresses delivered Thursday night and I failed to hear the addresses sched uled for Friday, but I was informed that they were all unusually good. I got 'in in time .for ttie masterly ad dress of Hon. R. Slmms at the Bap tist Tabernacle Friday night. His subject was "Why Baraca-Phllathea?" He did not fail to tell "why" and hie address aroused that great convention, thrilled and inspired every man and woman who heard him. You know there has been consider able 'talk in certain quarters, especi ally among our good Baptist brethern to the effect that the organized classes working under Baraca and Philathae charters, are not close enough to the rest of the Sunday school and to the church, and the Baptists have started an organized class movement of their own, naming their classes "Berean and "Fidelis" classes. Mr. Simms Is teacher of the firBt Baraca class In the South. He organized it at the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Raleigh IT, years aso and is still its teach er. Mr. Simms completely demolished the opnosition to Baraca-Phllathea and showed ttiat if the classes had drifted away .from the church and Sunday schools anywhere it 'was due to poor leadership in that particular church or Sunday school and to nothing else. I was invited to igo to Meredith College for the recital given by the advanced students of Miss Marie Day, Meredith's great teacher of vocal mus ic. I greatly enjoyed every minute ot it All of the singers were far above the average but the bright par ticular star of the entire class was Miss -Kate Johnson, daughter of Mr. and 'Mrs. Archibald Johnson, of Thom asvllle. " Miss Johnson was easily the favorite. The majority of those who filled the Meredith auditorium were Raleigh folks and they had heard Miss Johnson many times. Their cheering. UUeret)eated?enooresand. the rapt attention they gave .her was proof posi tive that Raleigh folks are very mmch In love with the young lady. Miss Johnson san? at the Sunday morning services at the Tabernacle and made a deep impression on the great throng that heard her. She has a voice of rare charm and one of the nicest things about her singing was that it was perfectly natural. Her enunci ation was perfect. You could under stand every word that she sang. in the average man and because you receive a statement Is no reason that we haven't absolute confidence In your honesty, but business ie (business.
