THE DOGS.
The town authorities should enforce
the ordinance on dogs or repeal it al
together. There are scores of worth
less canines in town that should be
kept off the streets, to say the least.
Every man of course thinks that his
dog is a'right but the public that is
annoved don't think so

SWEPT AS BY FIRE
The Gr eatest Religious A wak
ening in History of the
Town.
The greatest religious meetings
in the history of the town were held
Sunday at the Anchor warehouse
under the preaching of Rev. George
Stuart; People gathered from far
and near and it was the opinion of
all who expressed themselves that
they had never seen so much of
the good work crowded into one
day
Notwithstanding the rain jes
terday morning the warehouse was
almost filled. Mr. Stuart took for
the basis of his remarks "Home
Authority." God chose Abraham
because he would do what God
wanted him to do. The home
question, Mr. Stuart said settled
all things. Isaac got his training
at home. The preacher made a
strong appeal to the parents to be
gin and carry on the work in the
homes. With a force of conviction
that almost carried the audience
as by fire. Mr. Stuart brought
out the results of the home for
good and evil.
THE CHRISTIAN'S INFLUENCE.
"I met Talmage soon after he
returned from a trip to tbe old
country. I told him how I should
liked to have been with him, and
adcfed that I shouldn't have cared
to see the old ruins of castles or
such.but some of the living things,
the great statesman Gladstone, for
instance. Mr. Talmage remarked
that his stay with this kingly old
man was the greatest thing of his
trip. The beautiful Christian sur
roundings of this noble old war
rior. Gladstone said that, after
all, there is only one question that
will settte international strifes, and
that is Christianity. I have sat at
the table of Christian characters
occupying the highest' place of
trust in their city and State, men
like William J. Bryan and others
and it is a great thing to see what
Christian influence does.
Christian influence must be fol
lowed by Christian example. The
way to decrease drunkards is to
quit raising them. The way to
stop liars is to quit raising them.
At this point Mr. Stuart with em
phasize and power demonstrated
to the parents that they must set a
good example to their children.
He said he had never known a
child lost where all the conditions
at home were f ullfilled. He said
that he made this assertion once
in.presence of Dr. Atkius who in
sinuated that he was talking too
soon, that he might have to lake
it back. Mr. Stuart said that he
meant it that if any of his flock
got wrong he would go home, get
them right and begin again.
AFTERNOON
The afternoon servicep were
specially for the ladies but all were
invited. The sermon was an ap
peal to the women to be strong
that' they might fullfill the great
duties God had set before them.
NIGHT SERVICE
The meeting last night was the
most wonderful in the experience
of those prssent. The ladies had
been asked to remain at home in
order that the men might have
the room, By 7 o'clock the ware
house was nearly filled. By the
time the service began there were
at least 3500 men present. Most
of them had their coats tS , it was
hot, and Mr. Stuart finding that
the- men were thus making tlierq
selves comfortable, ' decided he
would do the same. He started
in close to the hearts of his hearers
and got , closer as he proceeded.
He took Daniels decision to do the
right thing under trylngand fiat
tering circumstances for the
ground work ot h's structure and
it was 1 great effort. Mo man
could have made a greater one.
We will not go into the details. At
the close 1500 Christians, men
Christians. pledged for a more con
secrated life. After that an invita
tion was given to the unconverted
and 500 responded. Never was
such a scene in High Point and
every one present felt the power
and influence of it.
Mr.Stuart should remain in High
Point a week longer if possible.
STUART MEETINGS
Notwithstanding the fact that
the first part of meeting Tuesday
night was given over to the con
cert, starting later than usual, it
proved to be the best meeting that
has been held.
The song service led by Mr.
Hunter was soul stirring and put
the congregation in a good frame
of heart when Mr. Stuart began
preaching. Tne sermon was said
by many to have been the strong
est the Evangelist has yet preach
ed. He chose for his text "What
soever a man sowetn tnat snail ne
also reap. '' The presentation of
this truth in all of his phases was
strong and the effect of the preach
er's words was felt throughoutjthe
entire congregation. Mr. Stuart
is able in illustration and on this
occasion he reached the hearts of
the people with what Mr. Jones
terms a "straight shot." When
an invitation was given to the un
converted there was a spontaneous
movenjent and many asked for
prayers of the Christian people.
During the service as many as 40
or 50 it seemed made professions.
Interest ii the meeting is increas
ed every day .and so large is the
attendance especially at night
that many people go out before
dark in order to secure seats.
Mr. Stuart is leading a good
movement for our town and we
hope that he will remain as long
as possible.
MEETING THURSDAY NIGHT
The Anchor warehouse was
filled Thursday night to hear Mr.
Stuart, the attendance estimated
at 2000. As usual the singing was
good although there should be
twice as many singers on the ros
trum. Mr. Stuart preaching on
"Hiding Sin" taking his text
from Genesis where it is recorded
how our first parents hidafter their
fall. Mr. Stuart drew some very
striking pictures from life illustrat
ing the gradual down fall of a man.
How we begin with a little thing
and after the Devil gets a hold on
us leads us out into deep waters to
perish. His whole discourse was
based on a simple little story of a
boy edging in on a cherry pie
while his mother was away. F'irst
there was a small lump of sugar on
a cherry that stuck out of the top
of the pie. After eating that, he
took the cherry. Then another
cherry disappeared. After a while
he got his conscience- seared
enough to cut a slice out of the
pie and on he went, until he had
devoured the whole pie. A simple
story, plain 10 all and served the
preachers purpose in pointing out
a great truth. No man ever in
tends to fall when ' he starts out.
The lesson was a most impressive
one and at the close the results
were seen by at least 60 people
going up v and asking the prayers
of the Christian people.
. A GREAT MEETING
' The meeting at the warehouse
Friday sight was the greatest of
week. There were perhaps 1000
more people present than on the
night previous and Mr. Stuart was
at his best if we can make any
distinction at all because all of
his discourses are good. The
main point in the sermon was a
strong presentation of a man's
life influence. Everyone has an
influence great or small for good
or evil. Mr. Stuart emphasized
the fact that the young people did
not follow in the foot steps of the
fallen. No boy would follow a
drunkaid. It was the man who
drank a little but did not eet
drunk; the man that attended the
theatre, but not the worst the
man who played cards but did not
gamble. These kind of people
were the ones who as a rule were
dangerous examples to young
people. The preacher seemed to
feel every word that he uttered and
with force a jd eloquence tried to
burn this truth into the hearts of
the people. He preached for over
an hour but it did not seem half
so long, throughout the vast audi
ence there was wrapt attention. As
far as we could judge there were
perhaps 75 people who responded
to Mr. Stuart's invitation.
D. H. Baker is building a nice
residence for himself at his farm
two miles from town on the A rch
dale road.
Mr. Lea who has been laid up
for six weeks with rheumatism left
yesterday for Hot Springs, Ark.
SICELOFF ENLARGING
Messrs. Pickett and Welch
have given contract for the en
largement of the store occupied by
Siceloff Hardware & Grocery Lo.
Another story will be added run
ning back 107 feet which will
double the capacity of the store,
The Siceloff Hardware -Co. is do
ing a splendid business and the
enlargem nt of house is necessitat
ed by their increased trade.
THE TRUTH ABOUT WAR
Truth about war cannot be told.
It must be seen. The living his
tory of Port Arthur is no longer
veiled in the mist of words, but
the sublime panorama itself, sub
lime because it is the actual scene
of Sublime daring, heroic sacrifice
and diabolical ingenuity, will be
unveiled at the exhibition of Ly
man H. Howe's new Lifeorama ic
Auditorium on Sept. 25th.
It is a spectacle that attracts be
cause here clashed the resources
of two empires; here the hearts
throbs ot great people raged like
the wind from two seas swept into
a typhoon of gore and grief. Here
in brief, is the truth of war as it is.
DANVILLE'S WHISKEY
PROBLEN
A prominent citizen of Danville,
Va., who was a Charlotte visitor
Saturday, gave the Charlotte News
man some interesting news con
cerning the wet and dry election
held in that city last week.
The gentleman referred to above
is too modest to allow his name to
appear in this article. He is also
a prohibitionist and belongs to the
crowd that was defeated. But, he
is positive that no contest will be
made and that the "wets" will be
allowed to open saloons provided
they live up to the requirements of
the city council
And, right here is where the
gentleman from the city by the
Dan, smiltd a broad and knowing
smile. The council of Danville is
as dry as a powder horn and the
members of that body will see to it
that the men who secure liquor
license will have to open wide their
pocketbooks. While it is not ex
pected that the tax rate will be
placed so high as to shut out all
would-be-dealers in liquors but
there "will not be near as many
rum mills in Danville as there
were before the city voted to rid
itself of the bar rooms.
The Board -'of Aldermen will
make a-mistake to continue the
fight after the polls are closed.

strictions were announced recently:

Effective at once, trains Nos.

and Florence, Ala., will be tem
porarily discontinued.
WHAT SULLY SAYS
E. J. Sully has issued the
following circular and sent
throughout the South. Hear his
argument:
Conditions unparelled, but ab
solutely legitimate, have forced
upon me the conviction that the
time is opportune for an extensive
Bull campaign in cotton.
Having received many requests
to organize a Bull Campaign, I
have, after mature, deliberate, and
careful consideration of the condi
tions that surround cotton this
year, decided to accept subscrip
tions for that purpose, believing
that advantage should at once be
taken, at present prices, to secure
a large-. pdVtion oft- the inevitable
advance in cotton, which is sure
to occur between now and March
1st, 1906.
In 1903, unknown, unaided and
alone, I proved to the world that
my convictions were sincere, and
J that courage was not )acking to
freely and fearlessly expound the
knowledge I had derived from
careful study of the situation.
What I accomplished two years
ago, I bel(f ve I can and will do
again, aided by experience of the
past, the conditions as they exist,
the knowledge at my command ,and
the necessary capital.
Being convinced that no better
opportunity has ever been offered,
where the possibilities were so
great, and that a profitable cut
come will be the result.
Being convinced that there nev
er was a time, when the demands
or the world for cotton were so
great, as they are at present, and
being convinced that every bale of
American cotton now in sight, and
every pou d produced this year,
will not meet the requirements of
the world's spindles for the com
ing season. Cotton must advance.
If the people over there honestly
voted in whiskey give it to them.
Make the license high enough but
prohibitive. It would hurt the
prohibition cause in the end.
MRS. DR. BURTON
CRITICALLY ILL
Mrs. Dr. Burton who has been con
fined to her room for several days
with kidney affection hasbeenerow
irg worse since early this morning
and the report from the house at
2 o'clock is that she is critically
ill and her physicians fear the
worst. Much anxiety is felt by
our citizens' generally on account
of the condition of this good wo
man and hope yet that they may
be a change for the better.
GO AFTER THEM
Notwithstanding the ordinance
about sweeping paper and other
rubbish on the streets it is done
every day. Is there not a way to
stop it?
