It is believed that cigarettes and liquor were the cause of the recent Albemarie fire. No good is ever traced to such sources, while great harm cones, there from. This town has had sufficient demonstration to show that it needs a good system of water works and a fire department. The property owners have right's that need to be safeguarded, and and a step in this direction can not be taken to soon. Rev. R. L. Davis, State organ izer of the Anti-Saloon" League, preached a missionary sermon in the Baptist church Sunday morn ing, and in he evening delivered a stirring lecture on the temper ance question in the Presbyterian church. At the close oi the last service the following resolutions were almost unanimously adopted Whereas we, the citizens of Albemarle, have recently learned that thejgood people of Salisbury are agitating the question of a local option election ; and where as the Salisbury saloons are a source of great trouble, crime and sorrow to our people throughout Stanly county, doing much to de stroy the usefulness of our proba tion laws : Therefore we, in mass meeting assembled, petition the good peo ple of our neighboring city who love liberty and good government to rise in their strength and the power of God and destroy the awful liquor traffic, and license system now obtaining there. To this end we pledge them our pray ers and. moral support; and as sure them that after they have driven out the traffic we will the more gladly visit their town.

Bennett, of Charlotte, is em ployed by Sheriff Green, For sometime it has been looking as if the bondsmen of Mr. Green would have to pay quite a short age. However, expert account ants are looking closely over all the accounts, and the friends of Mr, Green are hoping that he will pull through with little if any loss to himself and sureties. The Enterprise now has its tem porary offices in a room under the Central Hotel. Work- of re-con structing our burned printing of fice began on the third day after . the fire occurred. J.

Edwin Wyatt, who has been in a critical condition for some time, suffering from nervous prostra tion, was taken to the asylum at Morganton last Thursday by his brother Alex Wyatt and Sheriff J. L. Sheek. It remains for the Republican party to put the whole country in the hands of a receiver, for the clearing house system ot paying checks means just that and noth ing more. The cotton farmers are being coddled by Wall street speculators for the purpose of getting them to sell their cooton so that they may reap a rich benefit therefrom. Believe them not, for they are a set of thitves and ought to have been in the penitentiary long ago. Mr. and Mrs. W. A, Weant and daughters, Misses Rowena and Berly, returned home Monday from a visit to Jamestown, Wash ington and other points of inter est. They report a pleasant trip. Sheriff J. L. Sheek went to At lanta Saturday night to get the man Lang, who is wanted here and who's time expires in prison there this week. He is one of the men who attempted to rob the Bank of Davie here several years TT 111 - . . ago. Me win oe tried nere at tne next term of the Superior Court. W. B. Angell, of near town, and one of the most : prosperous and progressive farmers in the county, tells us that he had a field of corn containing 8 acres from which he harveted 451 bushels of corn this year. This is average ot hlty-six and three-eighths bushels to the acre. This shows what the land around here will produce when given proper attention. His en tire crop was 658 bushels. News comes from Walnut Cove of a serious accident which oc curred Mondayafternoon on the Dan .river, a few miles northeast of that place. Peter W.

On Monday! morning of last week the timbers were standing green in the f rests. On Saturday night the walls of the building had been well-nigh restored and the timber placed in shape for kthe roof. Such has been the rapid work of the men engaged in this rebuilding. We go to Greensboro to-day to ship The Tar Heel outfit, and to con vert a plan that created such a stir in the Republican ranks un der Mr. Blackburn into work on a bona fide country newspaper of a different political faith. Strange things happen, and Mr. Dorsett, of Spenser, the genial gentlemen from whom we purchased the out fit, gave as his only regret for the exchange that The Tar Heel types would be called upon now to print Democratic news. A new engine is on the road, and we expeot it to be less than a month when we are once again a full-fledged print ing office. It shall be our effort to not miss another issue, and we but ask you to bear with us in what is the best we are able to do i under the circumstances, Preached by Rei. W. W. Rowe, at Lower Stone, Sunday. November 17th. The following sermon was preached by Rev. W. W. Rowe, pastor of the East Rowan Charge of the Reformed church, at Lower Stone, November 17th, 1907. At the request of many people, who heard him on that occasion, the sermon is hereby published to be preserved for future reference. Mr. Rowe preached at Bear Creek- church, in Stanlycounty, for two years and a hall ; organized Boger congregation; and is now pastor of Lower Stone, Ursinus and St. Luke congregations, near Rock well, in Rowan county. Acts 19 :21, -"I must also see Rome." Next to Jesus Christ stands the Apostle Paul as a great mission- ary. we never tninK oi nis lire s work, without thinking' of his three famous missionary tours. During these missionary journeys he visited many places. He tra versed the island jf Cyprus and several provinces of Asia Minor. Herisited many important cities, Ephesus, Athens, Corinth and other places of minor importance, preaching the gospel, establishing and strengthening the charches. Towards the close of his third tour, "when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia to go to Jerusalem," realizing that the most important city of the world at that time had not been reach ed, he said, "I must see Rome." Rome, being the strategic center of the world at that time, and Paul being the leading mission ary; it was very necessary that he should see the place and preach the gospel there also. Paul re-. ceived his great zeal for mission ary activity from the original and sole master missionary. This person is our Lord Jesus Christ, and as Lord of his king dom he has put his own divine commission upon his followers. It is, "Come." "Go." Two commands in one. "Come learn of me." "Go preach tbe gospel." Discipleship and spostleship are one and inseparable. As Phillips Brooks interprets it: discipleship, which sits at his feet to learn, and apostleship, which goes out into the world to work. We learn but to teach ; we know of Jesus, but to tall of Jesus. We commune with him, but to com municate him. Even so are we sent as he has been Bent. The church is a coin from the divine mint. One side shows the likeness of its Losd ; the other side the map of the world. To efface either destroys it. The world itstelf is to be finally shap ed into that divine likeness, Christ is at once Authority and Pattern, Inspirer and Organizer, Author and End of missions. Apart from him we can do noth ing. Through hiin we can do, and teach aH men to do, all things which he has commanded us We should rem m her that missions are no discovery, or rediscovery of what was lost in the 4th or 9th century. There have been times of f orgetfulness, stagnation and corruption. Many false methods have been emDloved. Yet the golden thread has not been broken, the prophecy has not failed. The sway which Christianity "exercises in the world todav is the result of over nineteen centuries of contin uous effort and achievement. There has never been , a time since the world-wide commission was given when its appeal has ceased to ring in the ears and find response in the hearts of some of Christ's follow ers, when at least individual mem- I C iL . 1 L I j 1 0JBV1 tu0,uui,uu0,D uu planing or winning fresh conquests for.him. "inis gospel of the Kingdom snan do preacnea in an the world unto all the nations, and then shall come the end." Thus he announces that his efforts shall be continuous. And the great apostle with that burning in his heart exclaimed, ' 'I must also see Rome."

It is an in flexible, implacable enemy to suc cess, which ever succumbs to its onslaught and which it buries in the dust of despair never to rise again. Poise is necessary for the well being of man. It develops and at the same iime controls and keeps thie lever of mental equili brium soadjusted in its proper place that the balance wheel will not get out of running gear to the wrong, side. The man who worries never is self-centred, never balanced, never at,his best. Mental anxiety takes away vitality and push and leaves lassitude and languor. It de prives manhood of virility, where as the self-poised man has confi dence in himself to dare and do ; never wobbles or staggers from side to side, but pushes right ahead in a stra.'fcL course, keep ing his destiny ever in view. They who believe in themselves, who are conscious of - their own force of oharacter,'of brain, and of body, touch the wire of infinite power and can accomplish what would be impossible to those who lack the vital energy which waits on self-concentration of this vital energy wasted in useless, harmful worry to run all the affairs of the world. Troubles, sorrows, misfortunes arid gloomy f orbodings come home to roost ; they love a dark perch and this they can find readily in the bxain that is given to worry. jLoatnsome creatures, such as toads, lizards, beetles and vipars, love dark cellars and avoid the sunlight; let the health-giving, disease-destroying, bright and beautiful rays and they scamper to their holes, there to remain in the darkness until the light is gone. Let in the rays of light, of hope, of trust, of confidence to your brain and they will dispel the ill omened ghouls of worry which have taken up their abode there; they will lighten it and brighten it, giving birth to har monious, healthy thoughts which shall invigorate both mind and body and clear the way of every obstacle which lies in the path of success.

Another Fire at ThomasTille. Superior Court Puts Damages on the Southern. Lexington Dispatch, Nov. 20th. v One night last week the saw knill of John Holt was burned three miles from town on the place of J. G. Walser. The en gine and boiler were saved. Mr, Holt had $300 insurance with E. B. Craven, agent. Treasurer Jii. a. Kothrocx says - B that Churchland High School has been given the first $250 asked for to supplement a like fund raised among the people, and that the state" authorities have under consideration the second request for 250. It was thoifkt at first that the school would . have only $500, half from the state and half from the people, but the people decided to raise an additional $250. Reeds also has applied for $250 for a high school there. Court helduntil the last minute on Saturday. Quite a number of cases were disposed of. The casb of Mathew Bosoh excited the most interest. He sued the Southern for $26,000 damages for injuries and got a verdict for $8,000. This was commonly considered exces sive and Judge M. H. Jusfice in timated that he might set it aside at Rowan court this week". The estate of Joseph Carrick, colored, who w-& killed on the Southern near Lin wood, was settled for $450, The clerk's judgment was confirmed in the case of W. H. Philipps, admr vs Lee Westmore land, Dorset and Grimes received judgment for $550 for damage to horses cn the Southern, There were other minor cases. Bob Black, who cut his son dur ing a row at thair home in the country, was brought here last week by E. D. Kennedy, deputy sheriff, and placed in jail in de fault of $250 bond. It is stated that bail will be furnised soon. John L. Black, who was cut. is said to be getting well. Last week, Dr. J.- H. Mock, of Thomasville, through his attor neys, made answer to the com plaint filed by Winston Fulton, who, it will be remembered al leges, that Dr. Mock estranged the affections of Mrs. Fultob. The complaint makes specific charges against the physician, all of which he denies in his answer, and says that they are false and are made for the purpose of blackmailing and extorting money from him. The case was not touched at this court, out win prooaoiy come up in February. It promises to be one ot the hardest tought legal battles in sometime. There is an array oi very a Die lawyers on each side. On account of the sen sational nature of the suit, which is for heavy damages, great in terest will be manifested. They say now that one of the potent causes of the tightness of money was this. In New York wealthy men, who had as much as a half million dollars, some more, others less, foreseeing that they could make a fortune by creating a stringency of money, withdrew their deposits, hundreds and thousands and millions -of dollars, and then sold the cur rency at a premium. One man sold $200,000 in currency at a premium of $8,000, took a certi fied check and then loaned the check at high rates. The banks say they know the folks who did this, and will spot them in the future, when they ask for accom modation. Thus itjs shown how m 1 . 1 j 1. a tew ricn men can tnrow tne whole country into a turmoil.

Montgomery, who re cently moved to town, spent last Wednesday and Thursday at his arm in Cool Spring township gathering his crop of corn. The corn was piled in the barnyard and after engaging a number of hands to meet him there next day to shuck it, Mr. Montgomery re turned to his home in town. Friday morning when he returned to his farm he found that the ladies of the neighborhood held a surprise corn-shucking Thursday night and shucked the entire lot of corn. Dr. J. J.

Franoes Bost, of No. township, found Thomas Wash- am, of No, 8 township, lying on the side of the road leading from the publio road to his home with his buggy upturned and one wheel esting on Mr. Washam's stomach. He was then alive and conscious, and asked Mr. Bost to take him to R. W. Yost's, who was formerly neighbor iin No. 3. This Mr. ost did, and Mr. Washam was givon every attention by Mr. Yost and his family. The night be- ore was very cold, and Mr. Wash- am was maced before the firo and thorougly warmed. About 1 o'clock p. m., Thos. Yost started to his home with him in a buggy. When he got to M. A. Emerson's he got out of the buggy to telephone to Coddle. B.
