The Walker-Wulslagel meetings now
in progress at the Baptist charch of
this city are awakening wide spread In*
terest and attracting; great crowds of
men and women and children to every
service, regardless of denominational
affiliations. Scores of the colored peo
ple occupy seats in the gallery every
night.
Prof. E. L. WoMagel is ah artist of
first rank as a musical director. His
voice is deep and rich and mellow, and
"throbs with the vital appeal of the gop
pel. His solos are quite an attractive
feature of the meetings. When it comes
to organizing and directing -chorus
choirs, he is a past master. A large
chorus composed of some of the best
singers in. town are assisting Mr. Wol
slagel with the music. A junior chorus
composed of more than fifty voices are
also rendering valuable assistance. The
new song book recently published,
"Make Christ King," is being used.
Dr. W. L. Walker, who is doing the
preaching, has made a very favorable
impression on the communty with his
earnest, straight-forward, forcible ser
mons. Though still a comparatively
young man, he has had experience in
the pastorate as well as in the evange
listic field. His methods, therefore, are
utterly free from the clap-trap and oth
er objectionable features that are some
times seen in such meetings. He
preaches the plain simple gospel in as
attractive manner as possible, and re
lies on that, under God, to do the work.
So far, the burden of his preaching has
been the cleansing of the individual life
and living ona higher plane. He deals
with sin with gloves off, tracing all the
ills of the human family to it as the
real source; and yet he speaks the truth
in love no matter how great the sinner
may be, when he hears Mr. Walker he
feels that he has in him a true friend,
who is trying to help him get rid of his
worst enemy. He has a pleasing per
sonality about him that attracts men at
once.
The early morning hour at 8:30 is
proving quite a popular tinie of meet
ing. The intense heat is avoided, and
it is a time when the wind is most alert.
By a well nigh unanimous vote of the
ladies, the men have been granted the
privilege of abandoning their coats in
church, if they desire, and then be
made as comfortable as possible. The
new style, which is a very Bane oue,
was immediately adopted by Mr. Wol
slagcl. followed by a number of others.
A special service for the children has
been arranged for Saturday morning
8:30. At Which time Mr. Wolslagel
will sing and Mr. Walker will speak.
He requests that every child in town
shall come and bring a nail,
There will be no service Saturday
night.
Services Sunday 11 a. m., 4:30 p. m.
and 8 p. m.
The services will be continued next
week, daily at 8:30 a. m. and 9 p. m.

The Storm.
Loulsbttrg poMlbly the
wont storm ta tatty feara oa bat Sat
d?y evening. Tft cloud was late com
in g up but was making full time and
g?ve food account T>| its presence when
it did krrive. The wind and rain was
terrific breaking in window lights and
blowlag and beating things about. On
ly a small portion of the town had ex
perience of hail, but we learn in the vi
cinity of Mr. 6V N. Kgerton's residence
a heal>' hail storm was also in evidence.
The lightning played around like aa if
it mu*t pay its respects to everything
and aa a result many of our citiien'a are
debating whether or not It was the
lightning or the wind that broke in the
plat* glass front of W ilk ins 6 Stagalls
barber shop. However there is no
question but that the front is all in,
thai is one window, and there were
many people in the bouse who even now
can hardly tell how it happened. Sev
eral aay the front of the shop looked as
if it was on fire when it happened.
Fortunately no one was hurt.
It seems this same storm visited
Toungsville where the residents aay its
equal has never been seen before.
Here U killed a horse belonging to Rev.
Mr. TJolf, and many people felt the
shocks from several bolts.
On Friday evening a heavy storm vis
ited the section of the county bordering
on Gold Mine township. Many trees
were blown around, and much rain
was in evidence. During this storm
Mr. O. W. G upton lost two nice year
lings and a fine milk cow. Some one
In that section, we learn lost a chicken,
killed by lightnnig. We have always
beard that a feathered bird could not be
hurt by lightning but it seems that in
this case'nature is setting aside the old
customs. Wherein, the storms of these
two evenings, the rain and wind was
severe little damage to crops has been
reported.
Hiss Lancaster Honored.
Mies Grace Brown was hostess to
a number of her friends last evening
in honor of Miss Ruby Lancaster, of
Louisburg, N. C., who is the guest of
i^iss Bessie Morris. The guesta were
received on the piazza, which was
biilliintly lighted by Japanese lanterns,
and where delicious fruit punch was
served by Miss Edith Brown. After a
half hour ofNionversation, the guests
were invited into the parlor, which
was decorated with ferns and nas
turtiums, and where ^tables were ar
ranged for cards. After ^Mveral verv
interesting rubbers the tables were
cleared and delicious refreshments
were salved. Miss Delia Carter Wak
ing the highest score, was piesent^
with a little blue-bird brooch, and
Mr. D. E. Massey, making the highest
score among the gentlemen, was given
a book. Miss Lancaster was also pre
sented with a blue-bird brooch. Those
invited were : the honoree, Misses
Bessie Morris, Hazel Morris, Delia
Carter, Hazel Poole, Messrs. Milton
Williams, Tandy Jones, Willie Brown,
Earl Seaborn, D. E. Massey, F. L.

The Nftht Police and the New Clock.
In accordance with an order of the
Board of Town Commissioners the com
mittee selected to purchase and install
a watchman's clock system for Louis
burg to be used by the Night Police
! was perfected and put in operation on
last Friday night. When instructions
were given night patrollman J. Allen
Harris of the new duties together with
the location of the keys he immediately
handed in his resignation effective at
once. The Mayor then proceeded to
tind someone to fill the place which was
a little difficult. However he secured
Mr. E. C. Perry to 6111 the position un
til the next meeting of the Board.
There is hardly any argument against
the use of the system as it will be
found around all large manufacturing
concerns and in some cases is required
by insurance companies. What seems
to be causing the biggest objection up
on the part of those who are acting and
who have been approached is the loca
tion of th% keys and primarily the car
rying the clock as it is a Tittle unhandy
and is calculated to be much in the way
should an officer have to arrest several
unruly negroes late at night. The big
gest objection however is the location
of one key.. There is no question but
that the committee had in mind the ex
act safety of the town in the selection
of the locations as the stations will
show? they being at the crossing of
Main and Franklin streets, intersection
of Naah street by Cedar street and the
intersection of Elm street by N*sh
street and the farther end of the cotton
yard? ttoe latter being the objectionable
locatioi" However the location of the
last key shows also the committe*e fail
ed to axorciaa their judgment for the
safety of the night officer, especially
when it ia aoaaidered he will be expect
ed to go Into this place every hoar dur
ing the Bight after the lights are out.
i
OFFICER CAPTURES 104 PINTS BOOZE
So Far No One Has Made Claim for Packages.
It isn't a question of cowardice or
bravery as past experience has proven
Louisburg has a population that will
laugh in their sleeves at the idea of an
officer having to get ia such a forsaken
place as the farther end of the cotton
yard. In this position the officer would
be entirely at the mercy of whoever
might want to do him harm. We feel
satisfied that the committee has net
aeen the question in this, light and will
hasten to have the location of this key
changed. A good place would be in
front of the depot or at the corner at
Cheatham's priiery, either of which
will be of aa much benefit as at the cot
ton yard, because of the fact that if.
the trouble should be fire or anything
of that nature it oonJA be Been equally
good at either location and in such cases
the only thing an officer could possibly
do would be to turn in an alarm. We
do net believe in requiring an officer to
take too much risk, and do not feel that
either of our Commissioners will do so.

SHORT BEDS AND
NARROW COVERS
Sefmon for Hen Only Sunday
Sunday afternoon at 4:30 [o'clock in
the Baptist cburcb, Dr. W. L. Walker,
of Charlotte^ will deliver his noted lec
ture-sermon on/'Short Beds and Nar
row Covers" to the men and boys of
Louisburg and Franklin county.
This address deals with many of the
practical problems of everyday life, and
appeals strongly to the reason and con
science. It is one of the mosVstriking
and impressive sermons that Mr. Walk
er preaches. He has used it on similar
occasions in scores and scores etties
and towns throughout the Southern
states with very gratifying results.
In the sermon he has something to
say that is of special interest to the
lodge men, and a most cordial invita
tion is extended to them. He answers
the question that is sometimes asked
"If a man is a good Masof? or a mem
ber of any other lodge of the same high
standing, is he not a good christian?"
Prof.WolsIagel will sing one of his
sweetest solos, and will lead the men
in sinking some of the good old songs
of Zion.
A good time is prom^ed the men wlio
come and all are invited.
At the Panacea Hotel.

TAKEN IN BY OFFICER WED
NESDAY.
Warrant Sworn out before J
W- Holllnusworth and Execu
ted by Constable R W Hud
son.
The tint exercise of the search and
seizure law (or Louisburg was made pa
Wednesday morning when three pack
ages containing one hundred and four
pints of booze were seized and tsk'n in
to custody from the Southern Express
Company's office by Constable R. W.
Hudson. .The packages were shipped
to the following persons and contained
the respective amounts as given: "Sam
Yarboro, 36 pints; Charlie Littlejohn
(evidence has developed that this pack
age was ordered by Bob Yarboro who is
under bond (or his appearance At court
to answer to a charge oft retailing) SS
pints; Willie Johnson, 32 pints. The
whiskey arrived on Tuesday morning at
10:30 o'clock and was discovered by
Officer Hudson who is always alert to -
his duties, and an immediate attach
ment was served, and the search and
seizure warrant issued on Wednesnay
and executed. The warrant was execu
ted by Justice of the Peace J. W. Hol
lingsworth, before whom the parties
will appear to make claim to the booze.
This action, as will be noticed was
of the 2nd of July? just one day after
the law went into effect, and our officers
aay that if they do not break up the
practice of the blind tigers in Louisburg
and Franklin county it will be the fault
of the law and not their efforts in en
forcing them.
This being the beginning of the en
forcement of the new law s.rves p.s a
warning to those who haye been in the
habit of ordering so much, and also or
dering in someone else's name, as it
shows plainly what they may expect.
The people generally are becoming
more and more in favor of the breaking
up of such practices and we believe it
is only a matter of a short while when
| it <will be impossible for a violator of
this law to get off before the courts.
Old Soldiers Leave. .
About twenty-two old soldiers accom
panied by many of our citizens left on
Sunday afternoon for Franklinton by
automobile where they took the train
for Gettysburg to take a part in the
celebration of the 50th Anniversary of
one of the greatest battles ever fought
in the history of the world. The best
wishes of the entire community went
with them for a grand and glorious oc
casion. . ?
