MORG ANTON, N. C, AUGUST 11, 1910, No. 17 i The News-Herald f I IS THB Best Advertising Medium IN THE jj PIEDMONT SECTION BASE BALL AS AN AMUSEMENT. Resolutions Adopted by the Morganton District Conference Recently Held at Forest City. "Reports concerning the vari ous subjects were adopted, and that on Worldly Amusements and Social Evils, ordered to be fur nishedtoThe Sun. The Herald and Christian Advocate for pub lication. This report is as fol lows: "Knowing that Christ's King dom is a spiritual kingdom, they that worship Him right, must worship Him in spirit and in truth, and must have not only form of godliness, but the power thereof, and be lovers of God, rather than pleasure. We, there fore, deplore the evil, damning influences which are so sorely felt in the great body of the church, arising out of the pre valence of some of the popular amusements and social evils of the day. These are slowly sap ping the very life blood out of the spiritual life of the church, and like the vampire bat, they fan the cheek while they suck the blood. These things are evi and only evil in their moral and spiritual effects. "Some of the more common of these, and which we heartily de nounce and plead with our peo ple to discountenance and discon tinue, we enumerate as follows: Card playing, dancing, indecent and clean picture shows, circuses, vaudeville shows, gambling and the very modern and the very popular amusement of "base ball." "All these and other things we might mention, we know from experience and observation are demoralizing in their effects, and distructive to the best interests of the church, and more especial ly to its higher spiritual life. "Wherever these evils abound in the church-life, grace doth not and cannot abound. Wherever they predominate the church is subservient and becomes a Sam son shorn of his locks. ' 'Therefore, be it resolved, that we as a conference deplore, de nounce, discredit and discount enance these common forms of worldly amusement and social evils, which are so destructive to the true and higher church-life of to-day. God forbid that we should be lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God. 'We must continue, as in the days of old, to be a peculiar peo ple, zealous of good works, and separate and distinct from the world. What we need to-day above everything else is the ex pulsive power of a new affection, a power that will drive out from the mind of the church, the love of wordly amusements and social evils and fill it with the love of God." hearts of his friends with sym pathy and sorrow. They had persuaded him to take the pledge of total abstinence, and he had done so. Noticing his distraught condition on the occasion re ferred to, some of these friends became alarmed, and aDDroach- mg him cautiously asked what he was doing. His answer was, T a r i i am trying to nnd a compen sating vice." The Sun has run over the pro scribed list of denounced amuse ments as itemized in the resolu tion of the brethren. We have nothing to say about any of them except the last mentioned. The Sun is on record as having thought that possibly baseball, under proper regulations and these we named was, if not an uplifting, at least, a practically harmless amusement. We gath ered this from the attendance of many good people rather than from any personal fondness for the game. Certainty we had never thought of baseball as de serving to be classed among things that are "sapping the very life-blood out cf the spirit ual life of the church." The love of amusement is a natural one. Asceticism belongs to the dark ages. The church must in some way make itself at tractive. How shall it catch "wid hold and keep the ten thousand young hearts that seek diversion, and believe in their very souls, through natural impulse, that there must be somehow goodness in a smile and religion in a laugh? We have seen much of baseball in the last month. We have seen nothing in it here that would justify such strong expressions as "deplore," "denounce," "dis credit" and "discountenance" nothing "destructive to the true and higher church-life of to-day whatever that may mean. There are men and women, members of the church of the Methodist church at that some of the very best and noblest of all we have whom these bitter words of the resolution will wound. We cannot feel that the resolution is either just or dis creet. Hence these editorial lines. If the church is to charge itself with the character of amusements it should be con structive as well as destructive, What "compensating vice," if it be a vice, will the Methodist church name in place of baseball? Give us something bright and at tractive, helpful and harmless in place of what is taken away even if it be "mumble-the-peg.

Food for Thought. What means all this cotton mill talk of curtailment, of shutting down, of throwing thousands of hard work ing people out of a job? Isn't Taft President? Didn't he promise prosperty to the South? Isn't the tariff high? Didn't the Republicans tell the cotton mill peo ple a high tariff would help them? Didn't the cotton mill operators hear that if they voted the Republican ticket two years ago they would have plenty of work, good wages and a full dinner pail. Hey! And yet be ginning last Friday two and three quarter million spin dles in the South began to curtail their output During the summer the mills have agreed to stand idle four weeks. The men who own the mills say they are losing money on every pound of cloth they make. They say this will be the largest curtailment of cotton goods the Southern mills have ever known. What does it mean? Where is the "full" dinner pail? Where are the good, fat prosperous times we heard so much of from Repub lican spellbinders two years ago this summer? We quire no answer. Lexington Dispatch. re- 6 Victories of Peace, or, the Results of Sanitary Science. "Peace hath her victories no less re nowned than war." Milton. The thunder of artillery, the battle clouds, the ghastly wounds, the crimsoned sod, and theories and shrieks of agony make a pic- Commenting on the above the Rutherfordton Sun says: Elsewhere we publish the pro ceedings of the eighteenth an nual session of the Morganton District Conference of the Meth odist Episcopal Church South which met at Forest City Thurs day last. It is not usual to ask secular papers to publish resolu tions of church bodies. We can not speak for The Herald, but e can for The Sun. It is the first time The Sun has been so honored. The aim, therefore, is Tear and the purpose evident. Among the "Worldly Amuse ments and Social Evils" heartily denounced, we find "card play ing, dancing, indecent and un clean picture shows, circuses, vaudeville shows, gambling, and the very modern and the . very popular amusement of base ball.' " One day poor Tom Hood, whose 'Song of the Shirt" had awakened the consciences of sweat-shop keepers all over the civilized world, was found wan dering about the streets of Lon don looking aimlessly into the show windows. His weakness for drink had burdened the Damage Suit Against Doctors. In New Hanover Superior Court last week the case of J. W. Holmes against Dr. L. H. Love was put on trial. The suit is for $20,000 damages, Holmes alleg-i ing that Dr. Love failed to give him proper attention when his shoulder was dislocated, that the shoulder is still dislocated and the plaintiff is incapable of per forming his usual duties. He is now a clerk in the freight de partment of the Seaboard Air Line railroad at Wilmington, but was a freight conductor at the time of the injury ten years ago. Dr. Love was not present at the trial, having removed to Mon terey, Cal., for his health. The defence admits that the shoulder is still dislocated out contends that it is due to the carelessness of the plaintiff. Suit was filed in Mecklenburg Superior Court last week by Mr. Frank McM. Sawyer and wife, Mrs. Corrie P. Sawyer, against the Charlotte Sanatorium and Drs. G. W. Pressly and J. C. Montgomery, of the Sanatorium, in which they ask $50,000 dam ages for a disease alleged to have resulted from an operation per formed by the doctors March 26, 1909. At the time Mrs. Sawyer underwent an operation and it is alleged that she contracted Bright's disease as a result of the operation. I- you are suffering with Rheumatism, JUumrKo. Sciatica.

Proposed Debate Called Off. Statesville Landmark. It is said that the proposed de bate between a Methodist and Baptist minister, which was to have been held in Salisbury, has been called off. The reverends who proposed to engage in the discussion are designated as Dr. Ditzler, Methodist, and Dr. Jar- rell, Baptist. They must be strangers, as their names are not familiar among those of the reg ular Salisbury clergy. Anyway, Rev. Dr. R. L. Motley, pastor of the First Baptist church of Salisbury, and Rev. Dr. S. B. Turrentine. pastor of the First Methodist church of that city, discountenanced the affair, and - Jr. ;t was dropped.

August 23 Editor Clarence Poe, of the Progressive Farmer, will sail from San Francisco for tour around the world, during which he says he expects to have his eyes especially open for every lesson the South can learn from distant countries in matters of agriculture, manufacturing, race and political problems, conserva tion, religious unrest and com mercial opportunities. He will visit especially Japan, China, the Holv Land and Egypt. He ex pects to reach Raleigh on the re turn some time m January. ture that focuses and holds the attention paralyzed with horror. On the other hand, the quiet, un observed laboratory worker, as he wrestles day in and night out with the forces of Nature for the knowledge that is power, attracts no uncommon attention, until the general educational effect of time brings the masses abreast of the advanced position long since oc cupied by their, then, unknown leader. The leader with battle back ground creates a profound im pression; the leader with scien tific acumen passes unnoticed, but leaves an impression as last ing as the truth of which his life became a part. Napoleon is an example of the first, Tasteur of the second. In 1906 a well-known Paris newspaper made a poll of the French people and Pasteur was voted the greatest French man that ever lived, buch was not the popular estimate of Pas teur during his liletime or im mediately after his death. We have all heard of Hobson, but how few know of the less os tentatious but greater heroism of Lazear and Carroll. Fully real izing what only a few could then realize, and without the plaudits of the public, they exposed them selves to a greater danger than an exploding magazine in order to test the mosquito origin of yel low fever. They gave their lives in the experiment, but, as a re sult, U.UUO lives are saved an nually in Cuba and Mexico alone, the Panama Canal is being dug, and yellow fever is no longer a disease that strikes terror to the heart. It is estimated that the at tempt of the French to dig the Panama Canal cost them 50,000 lives, most of them destroyed by yellow fever and malaria. In 1887, the death rate in the Canal Zone amounted to the loss of 1 person out of 10, or 100 out of every 1,000, per annum. The hospitals were overcrowded, and it is stated on goc ! liUthority that the high death rutc was "the principal reason the French abandoned the undertaking. In 1905, when the United States be gan work on the canal, the death rate per annum was 65 per 1,000 of the population. In four years Colonel Gorgas, the distinguished sanitarion in charge of health conditions there, has reduced the death rate to 25 per annum per 1,000 of the population, and, as there are 12,000 people in the Canal Zone, this means a saving of 4,000 lives annually. Yellow fever, as has been said already, is a conquered disease. From 1850 to 1900 the city of Havana alone averaged 750 deaths a year from this disease. Since the discovery of Lazear and Carroll and the application of this discovery there has been an average of not over 4 deaths per year from this disease in Ha vana. Vera Cruz Province, Mex ico, that had never been free of the disease in fifty years, has not had a single case of the disease in the last four years. And, as in Havana and Vera Cruz, so everywhere else that the very simple remedy for the preven tion of this disease has been ap plied, it has disappeared. Malaria is another disease that has yielded to man just in pro portion to the educational effort directed against this disease. In Italy, one of the most malarious countries in the world, with a very general educational cam paign against malaria, there has been in -the last 8 years a 75 per cent reduction in the malarial death rate. The average annual death rate from malaria before this campaign was 16,000; it is now 4,000; 12,000 lives are saved each year. A large number of cities and malarious provinces in other coun tries have, to varying degrees of effectiveness, adopted to anti malarial measures with results ranging from a 33 per cent to an 80 per cent reduction in their malarial death rate. In Ismalia, a town of 8,000, and in Port Swettingham and Klang, a town of 6,000, where malaria affected about 50 per cent of the popula tion and was evidently sapping the life physical and industrial a i 1 V out oi tnese places, a vigorous anti-malarial campaign has com pletely exterminated the disease. Ask Mrs. Longsworth to Quit Cigar ettes. - Without a dissenting vote the four Christian Endeavor Socie ties of Fairbury, Neb., voted Tuesday that a public request be sent to Mrs. Nicholas Longs- worth, asking her to give up the cigarette habit. It was pointed out at the meeting that the in fluence of an ex-President's daughter would count a great deal with the younger generation in America. This action of the societies came as a surprise. It was the climax of a warm discussion fol lowing the reading of a paper on narcotics. The name of the mem ber who proposed writing to Mrs. Longworth on the subject of cigarettes was not made public at the close of the meeting. Society leaders in general who sponsor the cigarette habit were severely scored during the dis cussion. JUNIOR ORDER U. A. M. Annual Meeting to be Held at Wrights- ville Beach, August 23-26. Members of the Junior Order United American Mechanics are anticipating with keen interest the annual convention of the or der which will be held at Wrights ville Beach August 23-26.

IN 1 ERNALLY Whiskey Baths for J. D. Rockefeller. John D. Rockefeller has t tken to whiskey, but as a batii. The whiskey baths have been prescribed by his physicians to preserve his strength and render him able to withstand the rigors of golf, his favorite pastime. This was learned from a member of his household. Mr. Rockefeller has found the exertions resultant from strenu- t a ous exercises on tne lmKs too fatiguing, and his physicians fear rheumatism will set in unless he bathes in whiskey. In line with his physicians' prescription the oil king has adopted an innovation in his liv ing methods. Instead of sleep ing until 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning he has begun to get up at 5 o'clock. His hour of retir ing at night has been moved ahead by several hours and his day now resembles that of a farmer. After his whiskey bath he dresses, reads the morning pa per and then eats breakfast. From 7 o'clock until 8:30 or 9 mail and business occupy him. Then the rest of the day is spent on the golf links or motoring. STAGGERS SKEPTICS.

Ribbins were sent to a neighbor's house and when he failed to return at night inquiry was made. The Robbins boy would not tell them anything. It was 1hen learned that they had gone to the pond. On reaching the pond they found young Robinson's clothes con cealed under a bush. The pond was searched and his body was found. He and his stepmother were visiting their uncle, Mr. I. A. Litten. His father was notified and reached there the next day. He was buried at Olivet Sunday morning beside his mother, who died several years ago.
