The Republicans are hard to sat isfy. Democratic prosperity is not appreciated by the politicians, be cause it minimizes the hopes ana chances of Republican success'ana kefeps them out of the Jobbing busi ness and refutes their stock argu ment that the Democrats do not know how to run the government. At this time tho country Is too prosperous under Democratic rule to suit Republicans who find fault with it and say it is spasmodic and cannot last. The truth is it should not last always, for, if it did, it would turn everybody fool and menace the snfety and perpe tuity of the government. Now that good times stare the disappointed Republicans in the face they cannot stand the gaze, so they turn away and talk about Mexico and the countries at war and the Regional Banks and the Farm Loan Banks and criticize the administration In regard to these, all for the sole purpose of distracting attention and creating dissatisfaction. Hon. Frank Linney, the Repub lican candidate for Governor, spoke in the court house Tuesday night to a large crowd. The Republicans came from all parts of the county to hear their standard bearer. He is a fluent and plausible speaker and had things all his way, as al most everyone docs who has no one to answer or controvert his statements. As a matter of course he belittled what the Democrats had done in the State and Nation. With the hind-sights. the Repub licans could have done much bet ter, but the Democrats were ac- corded meager credit for construct- ive legislation. Mr. Linney had his political friends with him through out hi* speech. Hon. S. M. Gattis of Hillaboro ■poke in the court house Monday night. Before the apeaking a Wil aon-Bickett Democratic club waa organized of which Mr. Arthur P. Williams was elected president. Mr. Qattis majlo-W to a good audience. He apokeyit some length upon State nnd national mat tare, explaining the benefits of the constructive legislation enacted by the Democratic administration. Nor what he said was there any apology —no sn'Ji ia necessary, but on the contrary a matter of congratulation that the people have been delivered from the thraldom of t'.ie "interests." «A prominent poli'ieiin-merchant not a thousand miles from Gra ■ ham, anti-Democratic In politics, it f: the beginning of President Wilson's ~ term of office was going to buy . the farmers' wheat for (0 cents a bushel.

On Tuesday of last week Mr. M. 0. Mcßane was carried to llainey Hospital. Little hope was enter tained of his recovery and he steadi ly grew worse and passed away Sunday night about 10:30 o'clock on the 00th anniversary of his birthday. The retnaing were carried to his home at Manndale Monday where the funeral and burial took place at Mt. Olive Baptist church at 1 o'clock. Tuesday. At the time of his death ho was member of the Hoard of County Commissioners. His busi ness was farming and merchandis ing. He had for years been the stuunchest supporter of the Mann dale school, lie was public-spirited and contributed in a large measure to the uplift of his community.

"We have now searched the Bible from Genesis to Revelation ana have not found one single text au thorising tho observance of the first day of the week as the Chris tian Sabbath. On »h? other hanu we find the seventh day—Saturday —to be the only Sabbath Known to the writers of the Bible; and it was kept by Christ and His followers to the end of their live 3,'' saia Evangelist U. D. I'ickard in the tent across from t'ie court house square. "It is self evident," he continued, "that we must look to some other source than the Bible to find the reason why all the world is keeping the first day of the week instead of the seventh, which was com manded to be kept tfy Jesus Himself. "We are told that the de ciples changed it, yet their writings deny the chiirge. Not one line is found giving the least hint to such a change." "Kev. Edward T. Hiscott, D. P., au thor of the Baptist Church Manual, in an address before a Baptist ministers 'meeting in New York City, reported in The Examiner. Nov. 10, 1893, saifl there was and is a cotomandmont to keep holy the Sabbath day, but that is not Sunday. It will, however, be saio with some show of triumph, that the Sabbath was transferred from the seventh to the first day of the week, with all Its du'ies, and priv ileges and sanctions. Earnestly de siring Information on t 1 is subject, which I have studied for years, 1 ask where can the record of such a transaction can be found? Not in the New Testament—absolutely not. There is no scriptural evidence of the change of the Sabbath in stitution from the seventh to the first day of the week. I wißh to say that this Sabbath question, in respect to it, is the gravest ana most perplexing -luestion connected connected with Christian institu tions which at present claims at tention from Christian people. We are agreed with Mr. Hiscott, that the Sabbath is a grave question, and one that every Christian woula do well to study, for we will have this question f o meet again in the_ Judgment. "When then was Sunday first used as the Christian Sabbath? Chamber's Encyclopedia says, 'By none of tho Fathers before the 4th century is the first day of.the week identified with the Sabbath, nor is the duty of observing it grounded by them, either on the fourth commandment, or on the precept or of Jesus or his apostles/ " "William Domville in his book called Examination of Six Texts, page 291, sayß, 'Centurioß of the Christian era passed away before the Sunday was observed as the Sabbath. History does not furnish us with a single proof or indica tion that it was observed previous to th"e Sabatjal edict of Constantino, A. D., 321."' "Nearly all the lending educat ed men of all denomination agree that Sunday was not intended for the Sabbath, yet nearly all the world Is keeping it, but who are they keeping it to? The one who changed it? But who is t|n? In answer I quote from tho catholic Mirror, Sept. 23, 1893, 'The Cath olic Church for over 1000 years be fore the existence of a Protest ant, by virtue of her divine mis sion, changed the day from Satur day to Sunday.-"' "Again 1 quote from the Doc trinal Chnteehism, the official or gan of the Catholic church, page U. 'Have you any other way of proving that the church has pow er to Institute festivals of pre cept? Had she not such power, she could not have done that jn which all modern religionists agree with her j she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday the first day of the week for the observance of Saturday, the seventh day, a change for which there is no Scrip tural authority.' " "Here is a frank acknowledge 3||oqin.J OMJ A' qpoop oi|i jo )U.iui church, what does (lod say this church would do? 'And he shall speak great words against the most High and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and shall think to change times and laws; ano they shall be given into His hann intil a time and times and the di viding of time.—Uan. 7.25. u Nenrl,v 1000 year* before t!ii» church arose to change Ood's Sub bath, God said she would do the very thing she has done.

The Scripture enforces the religious observance of S.-iturda.v. n Hay which we never sanctified.' It is quite evident then that the Catholic Church tried at least to sanctify Sunday.

A wonderful Blemish Cure. Sold by Graham Drug Company adv ;; Educational Column Conducted j:: by Supt. J. B.Robertson., With this week the column re aumea its weekly vl»it» after a full vacation of absence from ty papers, during the season the schools have not been in ses sion. It willb e the purpose of the column as heretofore to carry vital instruction concerning the school work of the county, and to diffuse such knowledge as will be helpful along the line of all Pub lic School activities. Also the col umn will bear a part of the impor tant school news of the county. All teachers and helpers in the work are asked to send any information that the school public should know to the Superintendent that It may bn put in the column. That the .school work is grow ing, is easily noticed by the casual observer. It is broadening in its scope and being intensified in its several departments. I* shall oe our purpose during the year 1916- 1917 to make the schools of the county render a greater service than in any preceding year. We feel very sure it can be done. We are equally as confident that it must be done. A Democracy that is not sustain ed and supported by an enlighten ed people from whom 'it receives its support and whose guardian protector it is, will find itß own life Jeopardized and the life of the people whom it is intended to prof it. Hence our existence as well as our prosperity depends upon our public schools and the proficiency with which they do their work. "We belive in an education of all the children of all the people.'. We have learned long ag > that the ed ucation that cares only for my child cares least for me and my child and falls utterly to serve the community as it should. No man can afford to send, his children to school and allow his neighbors-to stay at home. When two forces are acting at the same time on any given body, the best that can oe hoped is for the body to take some immediate course below the highest force. We are our brother's keep er lor the sake of ourselves as well as for the sake of the brother. Let us all a full at tendance for the entire year. There is nothing like getting a gooa start for success in anything. Do not decide that to enter the sec ond week or the second month will do as well as entering the first day. There is no day equal to the first day for entrance. There is no other work in the world in which you lose so much to miss as you do in Behooi work. You not only miss the work of the day you are absent but you lose your connection with the day that is past and you do not have sufficient means to grasp the day that Is before. Hngular attendance and regular work we must have if we accom plish the work that is set before There was a new adoption of books last suiiimer but the new adoption will not b* used until the next school year opens in the fall of 1917. The same books that were used last year will be used this year. The first county teachers' meet ing will bo hold the first Saturday in November. WHEN YOU TAKK COLD.

F.lon College News. Cor. of The Oleaner. Klon College, Sept. 30, —The Faculty Music Recital which oc curs early in the year is one of the big events on the Hill. interest centres in this event not only because of the size of the music faculty, but because of the artistic ability always displayed in this historic program. It is customary with reference to such programs always to say that it the finest ever given and cer laiuly this could be said with ref erence to the program given last eveuing. The audience taxed the College Auditorium to its full capacity and every number was apprecia tively received. Encores were frequent and richly deserved. The pt-ogratn was not long, but it was designed to show the scope of the music faculty's varied ability and at the Fame time to portray the individual character istics of the artists participating. Very properly the first numbers of the evening were given by Miss Lots lialrd Davidson who is the oldest member of the music facul ty in point of professional tenure. Miss Davidson has always delight ed her audiences here with her line interpretations. She excelled herself on this occassion. She gave three numbers: Pfeiffer—lnquietude, Liebling— Lolita, Mac Dowel Each of which WHS favorably received, but particularly her Schattonz by MacDowell, the tal ent with which Bhe iuterpretted l'feiffer's Inquietude and I.iebl ing's I.olita made them strong competitors for first place in the estimation of her audience. Miss Mabel Blanche Harris, who has a lyric soprano voice, of flute like quality, gave two numbers, different in conception and thoroughly sympathetic in inter pretation, permitting her to use her lyrical range to advantage. Both numbers were rendered with charm and fluency, but she parti cularly excelled in Dell' Acqua— Chanson Provencale. Her numbers were: CTaugh-Leighter—"My Lover, He Comes On The Skeq," Dell Acqua —Chanson Provencale.' Miss Josephine Atkins, the violinist of the evening, was re ceived with' sincere appreciation in: Neruda —Berceuse Slave, Moskowshi —Danse Espagnole, Op. 12. Her playing exhibited poise, breadth of tone and re markable command of the bow, which responded beautifully to the spirit of the numbers render ed. Mr. Floyd Alexander, always a favorite at Elon, sang with beau itful voice, clear enunciation and evenness of register: Bizt—Aria from Carmen: "Votre toast, je peux vous le rendre." Mr. Edwin Morris Betts, who acted as accompanist for all the lyric numbers himself appeared to splendid advantage in his Liszt— Rhapsedie Hongroize No. 12. He added still further impression of his genuine ability as afi artist. Mr. Belts' technque Is fluent and his interpretation is superb. He is the popular head of the Piano Department. But naturally the chief interest of tlie evening centered in Miss Ava L. B. Dodge, the new direc tor of the Department and teacher in particular of the certificate and diploma pupils ih voice. It was her first appearance here in con cert numbers. She completely won every auditer. Miss Dodge's voice is mezzo soprano. It is re markably smooth, clear and well poised. She excels in the wealth of her tone color as well as in the range of her lyrical declamation. When she had concluped Bemberg —Aria from La Mort de Jeanne d'Arfc: "Du Christ avec ardeur," the spontaneous outburst of ap plause signified the approval of the audience and at the same time confirmed the Board of Trustees in the wisdom of their choice. fsiiss Dodge and Mr. Alexander were heard in a duet remarkable in execution and the perfect blending of tone color, from Mo zart-Dust from LeNozzi di Figaro: "Crudell Perche Finora." This number completely capti vated all.

Many pro gressive landowners, especially those occupying smalt places, have caught the vision of this kind of farming. The corn crop the country over aver 4 ■gas about thirty-five bushels an acre, giving a gross return n6t above $24 and a net profit of about sls.

Naturally the/flrst Idea la to Improve the methods qj'cultiva tion—to rotate crops, buHdup soil fer tility, use groat care with seed and put In a little extra work ail along the line. Those who think of an\mproved sys tem and are determined to get out of the rut will get res Tilts In proportion to their skill and efforts! Expansive Ideas will come with the disposition to do things. For instance. M. t>. Crow of Aqdu bon county, la., secured acreage profits of nearly $l7O by combining corn, rape and hogs as a farm feature. He had formerly raised corn at sls to S2O an acre. Some difference! Just before he laid by his corn in June two years ago he sowed Dwarf Essex-rape broad cast lp ten acres of it, using five pounds of seed per acre. The cultiva tor covered it, and about six weeks later 170 spring pigs were turned Into this ten acre field. They remained there until early winter, when the corn had been cleaned up and the rape kliK ed by freezing. When winter came he found he had a numerous buuch of thrifty half grown hogs with nearly unappeasable apatites and a surpris ing capacity for further growth. He fed them corn, mill feed and tankage until March, when they were sold at $7.50 per 100 pounds, bringing 42,- 040.75. Up t» the time they were.sold these bogs had consumed. 2,100 bushels of corn, valued nt 40 cents per bushel, or $804; also mill feed and tankage cost ing $80.50. Thua tbelr totaj feed bill was $044.60, leaving a profit of sl,- 690.20. As Mr, Crow figures.it. this $1,096.20 represents the returns from the ten acre field of rape and corn, since full allowance has been made for all other feeds. Hence be realized $169.62 per acre from this field. The same kind of an experiment last year brought similar results, so tiut this farmer has demonstrated a method of making his corn return an acreage profit far be yond what people ordinarily dream of. Eight experiments with rape and corn have beep conducted at the lowa station, with results strikingly " like those obtained by Mr.' Crow. By aver aging fhe results of these experiments, using precisely the same values for pork and corn as were given by Mr. Crow, it Is found that the average pro duction of pork per acre was 3,845 pounds, worth at $7.50 per 100 pounds $288; that the average cost of corn and other feeds required to produce this amount of pork was $123 and that the average return per acre waa $lO4 net yie State Fr; October 16-21 In to thegrß»iwkdjs:> ay of agrictrtfural products, livebi jk, women's work and other resource J of the state of North ' Carolina State Fair, October 16-21, is to be a free show worth the time occuoied in a trip to the grounds.

Memory VtrHi, 14, 18—Goldsn Text, Acta xxlv, 16— Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Bte«rne. This chapter gives us Paul's testi mony before the blgb priest and the elders from Jerusalem, at Caesarea, in the presence of the governor Felix, and also some account of one of Paul's talks with Felix and his wife Dru ailla. The peraeoutors from Jerusalem brought with them an orator Who, with flattery for Felix, did a large amount of lying Against Paul, whjch the Jews, indorsed, saying that these things were so (verses 1-0). Paul de nied their accusations and defied them to prove what they said and then stat ed the cade truthfully (verses 10-18). His .confession that he believed all things which are written in the law and in the prophets (verse 14) reminds us that our Lord said that the two \wlth whom He walked to Emmaus were foolish In not doing so, And also that He expounded from Moses and the prophets and tho psalms the things concerning Himself, saying that all must be. fulfilled (Luke xxlv, 25-27, 44). It is counted heresy even now by many supposedly orthodox preachers to look for a literal Israel to occupy the land given to Abraham. Isaac and Jacob, and a literal kingdom of Ood on earth with Israel as a center, who shall, as a nation made righteous by receiving Jesus Christ as their Mes elah when He shall come 1> His glory, then bring blessing to all nations. 1 have been told to my face by a teach er of large Blble classes that the Jews were no more to Ood than the Indians of our country, but 1 am still believing Ood and standing with our Lord and with Paul and expect so to continue by His grace. As to the resurrection of the dead, both of the Just and unjust, when understood In the light of all Scripture, that also is most simple and belpfuL All the dead shall rise; that is. clear not only from lesson verse 15, but also from our Lord's own words In John T, 28, 20, with Dan. ill, 2. That the hour of John v, 28, may, and \vlll, cov er a thousand years Is easy from the fact that the hour of John ▼, 26, has already covered nearly 1,900 years. In Luke xlv, 14, the resurrection of tho Just Is spoken of as a time of reward for the righteous, and I Cor. xv, 23, says "They that are Christ's at His coming." In Bev. xz, 5, 6, It is writ ten that those who do not take part In the first resurrection Will not rise till the end of the thousand yearn. There is no foundation in the Scriptures for the thought that our resurrection takes place when we die or for the Use of the words at a funeral "he Is not here, he Is risen." for those words were used of the literal resurrection body of our Lord. There is no foundation for the thought of a general resurrec tion of all, good and bad, at what Is called the last day. If this sounds strange to any who read, please do not turn away from It, •a I once did, but look Into it bnmbly and prayerfully, with a real desire to know the mind of the Lord, and He will surely teach you. Let us culti vate a conscience void of offense to ward God first and then towards men (verse 16). Felix, having heard both, sides and seeing through some things, decided that the matter be deferred nntil Lysias, the chief captain, could come and advise him more fully. Meantime he tested Paul well as • prisoner, giving him liberty and allow ing his acquaintances to see him and minister to him (verses 22, 23). As we think of Philip and his household and all who heard the word in the home of Cornelius, it is possible that Paul was made as comfortable as a prisoner could be, and, no doubt, be used every opportunity to preach Christ crucified, risen and returning to set up His kingdom. We may infer from verse 27 that the case was deferred for at least two years so that Paul must have had much rest and many opportunities. We cannot think as well of Felix as we would like to, for "he was evidently an up to date grafter and a man pleaser, often sending for Paul to hear him talk, trembling a little sometimes nnder his searching words, but always hoping that Paul would offer him mon ey to set blm free, and keeping Paul a prisoner to please the Jews (verses 24-27). What we call graft, or, as In the Bible, taking bribes, is a very old story, and was forbidden by the law of Moses. Samuel was free from It, but not so bis sons (Deut xvl, 19; I Sam. vlll, S; xll, 8). We must not confuse this with the saying of our Lord, as some do, that the Spirit will convince the world oi sin, and of righteousness, and of Judg ment (John xvl, 7, 8). Our first need as sinners Is a righteousness which will enable us to appear unashamed before God, and tliis.we cannot obtain by any good works of our own. Yet there are many going about seeking to establish their own righteousness, not knowing that In God's sight all la aa filthy rags, and apart from Jeans Christ there la none righteous—no, not one (laa. Ixlv, A; Bom. Ul, 10, 19-24; x, 8, 4; II Cor. v, 21).
