thing of Enthusiastic Con
vention in Durham.
Rev. Calvin B. Waller, pastor of tho
First Baptist church, returned to the
city yesterday from Durham where
he delivered the annual sermon before
the Baraca-Philathea convention Sun
day afternoon. Mr. Waller was very
enthusiastic over the convention, he
said this morning:
"Such a representative body of
young people, I have scarcely ever
seen together. The number of dele
gates and visitors was about 1500. All
the sessions during the day Sunday
and yesterday were greats but I think
the greatest inspirational scone that 1
have ever witnessed was .Sunday after
noon, when the Baraca and Phila
theaa of the state, augmented by the
local delegations, formed In line of
march stretching for many blocks, and
led by three brass band marched to
the Academy of Music for the annual
sermon. Thousands lined the streets
(o witness this march of Sunday school
young men and women. The Academy
of Music, estimated to seat nearly
3000, had every available space taken,
and hundreds were unable to get In."
"It was an inspiring sight to h ok
upon that great audience of the Old
N'or'h State's noble young people; and
It was a great hour for the Kingdom
of God."
Of this servico. and Mr. Waller's
permon on "Tho Christian's Chief
Task," the Durham Dally Sun said
yesterday :
"The convention mass meeting at
the Academy of Music at 4 p. m. yes.
tcrday was a tremendous occasion In
itself, aside from the street parade
and other meetings of the day. Long
before the doors opensd crowds gath
ered about tho place and when the
doors were opened there was a rush
for seats. The auditorium was pack
ed, first floor, balcony, gallery, stag'i
and all. That vast audience was held
spellbound for over an hour by the
eloquent discourse of Dr. Calvin B.
Waller of Asheville."

ASHEVILLE IS NOW IN
Just 120 Loads Trash Re
moved, Showing a Spirit of
Cleanliness Year Round.
During last week, which was ob
served as "clean-up" week In Ashe
ville, the people of the city displayed
a greater enthusiasm In the offaclon
than ever before, but the amount of
trash removed by the sanitary depart
ment was Just a little over one-fourth
as much as was moved in the same
period last year. This Is evidence con
clusive that the city Is becoming
cleaner year by year and that the cit
izens are taking more pains to keep
their premises clean the year round
than has ordinarily been the -case In
the past
In 1912 the wagons of the city san
itary department removed over 600
loads of trash from the city during
"clean-up" week. Last year about 400
loiuls were hauled out. This year the
total was only about 120, In addition
to the 200 loads collected on the regu
lar dally rounds. Sanitary Inspector
Bird states that the city Is cleaner
than It ever has been, which state
ment proves that a greater spirit of
cleanliness is prevailing here the
year round.
The fact that "clean-up" week Is
past and over has no visible effect on
the operations of the Civic Betterment
league, however, for the members
continue to pounce on vacant lots
that do not appear In nice, fresh
spring garb and clean them up. Yes
terday afternoon, under the direction
of Mrs. Whlteford Smith, Mrs. T. P.
Reynolds and Mra J. A. Sinclair. The

It Is claimed that someone living
next door to the lot objected to the
cleaning with epithets, cold water and
stones, but these objections were
overcome by tho appearance of po
lice officers and the work went for
ward as planned. .

Not a Very Big Bluff.
There Is a story of a men from ont of
town who came to New York and fell
not among thieves, but liars. He lis
tened to the tales of those who haled
him about the city, and they came at
last to Spuy ten Duyvll. The Palisades
were pointed ont to him, and he heard
that the Hndaon river scenery was the
most beautiful In the world. He turn
ed away and was not Impressed.
"Hut," tbey remonstrated, "those
bluffs of the Palisade are 800 feet
high!" j
"Well," he returned sadly, "J
learned to know that that isn't a very
big bluff In New York."
The story does not go on from there,
but it ought to add, as If It were a
moral, that that man knew New York
very well for a stranger. New York
