Horward, Ernest Gentry and John Gentry made speeches and all made mention of how well the children recited their pieces and give them many words of cheer, and a very intelligent lady said that she never saw a place improve like Rock Grove church and Sunday school had In her life considering ithe short 'time that it hid bren in exis- te:icc. One shaker tar.k as his well subject "A little child shall lead them" Isaiah 11:6, and illus trated the subject by referring to a great lecturer who said that everyone had influence, point ing to a little girl sitting by the side of her father, and said that that little girl has influence and the girl's father spoke out and said "yes she has" and after the lecturer had concluded his re marks, the girls father went to the speaker and said I am due you an apology, because when you said that my little child had influence I could not refrain from speaking, and (then related to the speaker how his child had led him from vice and shame, as he started to the gambling den and drinking saloon with his child in his arms and she began pleeding papa do not go and he said that he felt, tear drops fal ling on his face and then he could not go another step and turned and went home. He fur ther explained his subject when he mentioned that a hard hearted mother lost her only child and deposited its little shoes away as a keep sake and it had a leading influence. He threw more light o: his subject when he stated that a little girl by the name of Sindy Gibert, attended Sunday school with fifty other children in a small cabin and Sindy was taken sick, and in her lingering condition she prayed that all fifty of her school mates might be saved and soon after the death of that girl they held a revival and fifty were saved and the oneishe had prayed for, and 6he also left 27 cents, which she wanted used in building a more convenient house in which to hold Sunday school, I and now they have a church with over onethousand members and a Sun day school with two thousand pupils. In the first place a little child led by words and tears. In the second place a little child led by its little shoes and in the third place a little child led by its prayers and 27 cents. At the close of the last speech a good collection was taken for the Thomasville orphanage. Roper. Automobiles Regulated. At the regular semi-monthly session of the board of aldermen held last Monday night the speed of automobiles was regulated, or rather the fine was raised from $5 to $50, and the speed was changed to read as follows: On any street in the city limits the speed must not be greater than at the rate of 10 miles an hour, except Main street, and on Main street the speed must not be greater than 8 miles an hour. Other matters of a routine nature were looked after, the most important being the en forcement of the payment of all the cost of laying sidewalks by the property owners. The tax collector was instructed to advertise at once the property the same as for other taxes and proceeds of the sale goes toward the payment of the work on the sidewalks. Rev. J. C. Owen, missionary to China, and former pastor of East Durham Baptist church, is in the city. Sunday morning he preached at East Durham church, Sunday evening at the Firt Baptist church, and Monday afternoon he spoke to the ladies of the Aid Society of the First Baptist church. II is many friends are glad to shake his hand. Mrs. John Royster, who drank poison by mistake, mention of x-Wp un made in our last issue. is improving and will torn be NEGRO SHOT BY A WATCHMAN. Refused, to Halt When Commanded Bill Walker Received a Wound. While ; attending his regular duties as night watchman at the plant of .the Golden Belt Manu facturing Company, in Edge mont, last Friday morning, Char ley Hamlet shot and seriously wounded Bill Walker. Hamlet was arrested and gave bond in the sum of $500 for his appear ance when the trial takes place. The negrd Walker was carried to Lincoln hospital and everything done for his relief possible, and at last accounts it was thought that he would recover. From what can be learned the particulars regarding the shoot ing are as follows: Hamlet, who is night watchman at the plant above named, has been shot at by some one unknown to him several times, and ha3 been on the lookout for anybody that comes around when he is on duty, j Early Friday morning, Bill Wal ker, who also works for the Golden Belt people, showed up to get ready for the days' work. Hamlet hailed Walker and asked him to halt and tell his business. This Walker refused to do, and after he had refused several times to halt, Hamlet proceeded to shoot, with the result that Walker received a bullet in his abdomen. Walker, it is said does not blame Mr. Hamlet for the acci dent as he had ample opportunity to make himself known. How ever, Hamlet was arrested by the police and gave bond to at tend trial when Walker is able to be out William Jennings Bryan In Virginia. The Virginia State Fair which will be held October 7th, to 12th. at Richntond has made special arrangements with the Hon. William Jennings Bryan to speak at the State Fair on Friday, Oc tober 11th. Many reports have issued pro and con as to whether or not Mr. Bryan will be a presi dential candidate next year, and as the political pot is beginning to boil much significance attaches to Mr. Bryan's visit to Virginia at this time. Mr. Bryan having been twice nominated by the Democratic party and twice de feated, it is interesting to con jecture whether or not he will again be the standard-bearer ot Democracy. There is no deny ing the fact that he is considered by many to be the greatest liv ing exponont of Democratic prin ciples, and the readers of this paper who attend the Virginia State Fair this fall will have an opportunity to hear Mr. Bryan on strictly political subjects, as his address will be political throughout. There is no living American who can entertain the crowd so admirably as Mr. Bryant, unless it be President Rcosevelt, and there is no doubt that Mr. Bryant will receive a warm welcome when he comes to Richmond in October, and while there may be no political significance in his coming to Virginia from his home in Nebraska to give this address, it is certanly interesting in view of the many rumors which have been afloat that Mr. Bryan has declined to stand for the presidential nomination next year. It is thought that he may declare himself definitely and make a public announcement when he speaks in the Old Do minion.
