ation.
For more than a year plans for an
evangelistic movement tct this city
has been discussed by thejnembers bf
the Ministerial association, and it is
declared now that they are well under
way. The entire field of evangelistic
workers was thoroughly canvassed and
it was finally decided that GypBy
Smith, Jr., would make t{ie ideal man
for the city and he was accordingly
chosen.
The large vacant lot to the north of
the New Hanover county high school

building, and the building committee

facilities and freedom from street
noises.

meetings have been nothing short of
marvelous, nothing like them ever hav
ing ocourred In the spiritual life of the
state before, it is said. The churches
of “Wilmington are thoroughly united
in the local movement, and are look
ing forward to a time of great spir
itual awakening.
The Jackson, Miss., daily papers car
ried the following about Mr. Smith
and his work:
"Gypsy Smith, Jr., opened a three
weeks’ engagement in this city on the
night of the Srd instant, preaching
to one of the largest audiences ever
seen in Jackson.
“The audience was made up of all
the Protestaift denominations of the
city with many visitors from surround
ing seoti'ohs.
"It was the first pulpit appearance
here and, he did not disappoint his
hearers, whose expectation was great,
for his reputation had preceded him.
“He is a great preacher, a wonder
ful preacher, considering his age, for
he is* only 41.
"He is an attractive rostrum speaker
and holds the entire platform while'
in action.
His magnetism is extraordinary; it
draws the attention of every one in
his audience.
His personality is great; it is irre
sistible.
"He preaches the simple gospel truths
and in such a manner that all may
understand.
Like Moody, he preaches old-style
religion.
"Like Sam Jones, he carries his au
dience with a look of his bright eye
and the force of his remarks, without
Sam’s shady stories.
"Like Billy Sunday, he Is all action
while speaking without Billy’s base
ball antics.
"Like his distinguished father, Gypsy
is strong, logical and powerful. He
grips you with his first sentence and
holds you spellbound all the way
through.
His language is chaste and beauti
ful, his words fluent and musical, his
methods earnest and sincere.
“His preaching carries (conviction,
stirring the souls of Christians and
sinners.
"No one can hear Gypsy Smith with
out being benefited.”

GUINEA HEN LAWSUIT
PUZZLES THE JUDGE
KINSTON, July 1.—Export testimony
was had In a case here yesterday in
volving Mrs. Mannie Stallings, MrA
Fleta Roberson, Augustus Roberson
and others. Falling Creek persons, and
Mrs. Stallings’ guinea hens. Magis
trate George O. Brown and Kenneth
Fosoue sat in the case. The principals
brought numerous witnesses, charac
ter and otherwise, here with them. D.
W. Wool, a former county commis
sioner, was a witness. Mr. Wood in
the matter of guinea hens said one
could not tell where such a fowl
would deposit its, eggs; they were
given to straying. He knew a man
who bought a “one-legged guinea
rooster” and got ns many eggs as his
neighbors who had guinea liens. It
was when Mrs. turnings gathered the
eggs that her guineas laid on the
premises of the Robersons that bad
blood started. '“A fU3s” ensued.
. Magistrate Brown said the case took
on so many "entanglements” he had to
have assistance in passing judgment.
He called in Justice Foscue- lawyers
were brought in to further muddy the
waters. The Justices have agreed to
give the matter thorough considera
tion and try to placate all concerned.

Quotations-—
Your idea of “quotations” as applied to printing is
prabably a matter of prices. We are always glad to
“quote on a job” when the buyer is seeking something
more than merely the lowest price. Intelligent handling,
skilful operation, a sincere desire to interpret your
wishes, and a constant effort to turn out better looking
work at moderate cost do not inflate our quotations, but
they are just as much a part of the job as the ink and
the paper. In twelve years we have learned a good many
thinngs about printing. So add “experience” as one of
the Wilmington Printing Company5 features which the
quotation does not show.
