There is no telling to what extent it will spread and swell. .. . 'Ten years ago, when I nrst went on the road, it was the rarest thing '. to find a crooked woman at a hotel. To-day it Is a rare thing to enter a hotel without finding one or more. -Sometime ago, when attending a poli tical meeting in a neighboring town, I saw a gay damsel in the dining room Of the leading hotel. This creature, la line feathers, looked as demure and modest as a canary bird. She had one of the best rooms In the hotel. In public she was the most .careful dame in the land. In private he was as wicked as women get to be. I learned her record. The next week when I returned to Charlotte ahe was registered at one of the local hotels, and she chatted pleasantly with any of the ladies of the ho"une Who would permit her to do so. She had the appearance of being all right, hut ahe makes a business of fooling the better half of the world and liv ing off of the other half. The day has come when it is dangerous for (rood women to travel alone In North Carolina. Newspaper men, hunting personals, dare not print a name from the hotel registers lest they get the wrong person. The hotels are not at fault for. like goody-goody men, they cannot see earmarka - "Men who go about North Carolina know that what I say Is true, and that the conditions are growing worse every day. The disregard for law s rampant. The land is full of sneaks, hypocrites, and Dr. Jekyls and Mr. Hydea Preachers are accused, the accusations are forgotten, they go away" remain quiet for a time, and then so to other fields to labor. With in the memory of young people in this county several Instances of this are fresh: People forget."

Dobyns deliver his studies of the Book of Acts," said Rev. George H. Atkinson of Monroe, as he passed through the city yesterday on his way home. "It is one of the finest Bible studies ever heard." Dr. Dobyns Will probably deliver this study as one of his courses at the Bible conference In this city next week. The subjects chosen by Dr. Dobyns contrast happily with those sent in by Dr. Farr, the other speaker at the conference. The careful, logi cal, explicit discussion of this great historical book of the New Testament will run along well with the doctrinal offering of Dr. Farr on "Christology.' This great theme he will divide up aa follows: 1. Pre-Existenee of the Son of God: (a) In relation to the Godhead (b) In relation to the Creation; (c) Covenant of Redemption; (d) The Angel of the Covenant. 2. Humiliation of the Son of God: (a) The lncarante Logos; (b) The Hypostatic Union; (c) The Threefold Office; (d) The Complete Atonement. 3. Exaltation of ths Son of God: (a) The Resurrection and the As cension; (b) The Advocacy and the Intercession; (c) The Son's Judicial Work; (d) The Son's Millennial Rslgn. These are the two leading courses of study. The others will be, how ever, of equal Interest. Dr. Farr will begin the meetings on Sunday In the First Baptist church n the morning and In the Second Presbyterian church at 4:45 and 7:10 ti. The 4:45 meeting is for all the women of the city.

This sale will give all a fine oppor tunity to evidence their goodwill, and, at the same time, get full value for their expenditures. The Shortest Sermon on Record, The shortest and perhaps most ef fective sermons which have ever been preached In Charlotte are being de livered at Intervals during the day by a gentleman of 15 or 40 years, who Is evidently a Seventh Day Ad ventlat. With voice Of unusual pow er he shouts at Intervals of about a hundred feet: "Friends: Jesus la com lng. Repent. Be sure your sin will find you out. Be not deceived. God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." He might have been a prophet of old, In all but looks, sounding forth Old Testament warnings to the wick ed cities where vice abounded. "He comes mighty near covering the whole ground," said an auditor. There Is no snapping of watches on this preacher. Funeral of Mrs. John Howie. The remains of Mrs. John Howie, of Croft, were .yesterday morning taken to that place, where the funeral services were conducted yesterday af ternoon at 1 o'clock. Rev.
