While being a sedtlon carved out of Cabarrus, It is bounded by the coun ties ot Mecklenburg, Union and Stan . ly. It Is well watered, and the soil is of more than Average fertility; hence, every variety of rural industry . engages the attention of the popula tion. Religiously, '., the JPreaby terlans, Methodiuta and Baptists , are about ' equals la strength, and the Lutherans, while not strong numerically, have had great Influence. Bethel church is one ' of the oldest Methodist churches in - - the State, and has ranked In Influence , 'with Rocky River and Poplar Tent, of the Presbyterian faith and with ',, 6U ' John, ; the ancient stronghold of JLutheranism, -y Politically, ; the cltl- senship has always - been thoroughly ' independent , but ,v generally ! united, .Fifteen years ago, there was but one white Republican voter In the town 1 ship, as against nearly'300 Democrats. In 1896, McKinley, lor President, re ' ' celved six votes, two of which were I ' cast by white men and four by ne groes; Bryan, in the same election, re- , celved nearly 300 votes, 4 of which s m were cast, by negroea ?: In t the v: last election, the Republicans 'had a raa- Jorlty of bout 30. i But this v spells . , , nothing -Jo : No. ; 10.

For fifty years, at least, there has , been steady outflow of the popula tion to .the States in the West and - - the Southwest - Representatives from - thie' township are holding- responsi- ble positions through all the Southern country, clear to the Pacific. The . grandfather of ' , Clark Howell, he - brilliant editor of The Atlanta Consti tution, emigrated from this township to aeorgla, where he j became rich, and his posterity famous, . Howell's church was named for his. kin, and "Clark'?

And 1 do not have a good opportunity for seeing their old neighbors when they do get back. This year, however, the citlsens of. the township have planned for a "home-coming day," and have . arranged for a grand reception of the returning sons and daughters, '' - August 7th is set apart as the day for this plcnicto be held at the Sher- 1 " rill Mineral Springs, which place is none' other than the, famous Sossa x mon's Springs. The springs are situ . ated at the foot of a bill which is ' covered With a magnificent grove. . The committee on arrangements have 1 made provision for a speakers' and musicians' stand, surrounded by seats , for five thousand guests. Anticipat ing this enormous outpouring in a - rural community, the committee have also provided for the proper -policing of the grounds.- An tnvKation has been extended to the- people of all the - surrounding townships and counties , to jom with the citlaens of No.ao in Worming a reception committee for "V Tecelvln the retujmtfig ones. ; .;.'.: H In the. forenoon addresses will be - ' delivered by representative - sons of v , No. 10 and music- win be furnished by a good band.

( fi:' rcnoe Inioro!! fctriking i , j 1 'inures t'oiiccriJiis Mis Last nijjht in the Sunday echool room of St. Mark'g Lutheran church, the pastor, Rev. Robert C. Holland, D. D., delivered a most interesting and helpful address on missions. . He at tended the recent meeting of the Young People's Missionary Coher ence at AshevlUe, and in the course of his address he spoke of this great movement among young people. - He stated firfist that missions , mean the carrying o f the Gospel to the world Christ was a missionary and the Church . to fulfill His will must be missionary. Some, he said, raise objection to this, but that this objec tion doea -not change the fact. , The missionaries who come back for rest fronu the, foreign fields full, of en thusiasm and seal for their work, say that what discouragement they have ln their work Is occasioned not by the opposition of the heathen, but by the lack of sympathy in the Church at home.. s ' ... - t Speaking especially ef the the con ference at Ashevllle Mr. Holland said the chief object xl this meeting was to nourish in the home Church the splrrf of missions that will result in a spirit of supply for missions a spirit that is so much needed in the entire Church, s "The object . of this , confer ence.; he said. "Is so to foster the spirit of missions in the home Church, especially among the young people as to assure the volunteers In the field thati they will ; be .well sustained. Greater spiritual life is the need of the entire Church at home, v Would that St. Mark's church would receive a spiritual awakening such as. every church needs. Great blessing would follow such an awakening.", Mr. Holland gave a number of in teresting statistics which . show the need of men. women and money in the missionary cause. ; Among these he made mention of the eight or nine million dollars given each year by the United States and Great Britain for missions, which amount ' lacks only about two millions of being the entire amount given throughout the world for this cause.' :f-'.v, '.' At the AsheviUe conference there were 840 delegates from the Southern States, ; and of this number, ' he said Georgia led and North Carolina was second. In denominations the Pres byterians led. He spoke of the help ful prayer services and conferences held, of the acquaintances formed, all o f which , tend to strengthen faith and broaden Christian . fraternity as well as increase missionary activity. The contact with missionaries fresh from the field and with workers In other denominations he said is always helpful' In closing Mr. Holland spoke of the importance of embracing the present opportunity for greater mis sionary activity,, A RABBITS DOWNFALL. He Was Overtaken by an Automobile and Killed in the Road. Mr. Armlstead Burwell and a -party of friends were coming la from Gas tonla, yesterday, ln an- automobile, when a rabbit, attempting to cross the road ahead of them, was killed by the front wheel of the machine. The ac cident to Brer Rabbltt took place 7 miles south of the city, is the auto mobllists moved along at a lively clip they saw t he-rabbit dart into the road and turn tail to the ibig headlight. The lever .wag turned a, little and the auto shot forward at a'terriflo rate. Brer Rejbbit wobbled his nose and bucked his back but couldn't gain any ground. X"Wnoo-woo-oo!",said the whistle. The rabbltt kicked back, ducked his head, and burned the wind, , but the auto was gaining on him. "Whoo-woo-oo!" sounded the gong, but it was too late. Brer Rabbit was killed in h effort to get out of the way, by turning to the left. ' The machine was stopped and the rabbit, gathered in 1 and brought to town. , . .. -" Rev. Dr. Van to Preach Here.

Southerland JEWELER Do Rich Men Need Life Insurance? No. 3.. ' (Continued) ' It is the rich men of the country who are in debt. A poor man can not borrow f 100,000; rich man can. Credit, while the best asset and the greatest opportunity of the rich man, is often his ares test peril, Life In surance will safeg-uard it. With the individual, credit ceases at death. Estate can rerely borrow, and then only with much legal work. Credit is not always a matter of interest and collateral. Fear and favor exercise their influence in the making of loans. Both cease when a man is dead. Every banker and mart of af fairs knows cases not only where death during acute financial con ditions baa ruined an otherwise prosperous estate, but where estates would have been ruined had death occurred before the plans of their owners had matured. Adequate Life Insurance gives peace of mind to the man who la conscious that death would ruin prospects eventually re sulting In enormous gains. There are times when a man will pay any thing for ready money necessary to his financial life. If this Is true of a mgn when living, how necessary Is It to provide ready money at his death! If rich men are worried in arranging for money during : their lives, why should they impose such burdens on their widowi and or phans, who are unfamiliar with business affairs? Surely It is wise for a man to Insure his life for enough to meet his debts. , Moral Insure In The Equitable Life. No company ln the world offers greater certainty of payment than The Equitable, This Is the first con sideration in Life Insurance.
