Great Caverns in Which Skyscrapers Migb be Built. Mammoth caves containing cav erns large enough in which to place a city office building and with natural stone bridges exceed ing in beauty and grandeur those of Utah and Virginia, exists in Northwestern Arizona, according to Prof. Edgar L. Hewett, direc tor of the branch of the School of American Archaeology at Santa Fe, N. M, Stories of the existence of these wondeful natural caverns have been told by Indians of that sec tion for centuries, but they were believed by white men to be mere ly legends of the aborigine. Prof. Hewett, in conducting an investigation in the records con- cercerning bpanisn occupation and control of the Southwest made trip to Spain a year ago, and while there he unearthed written proof of the story of the Indians. Carrying out his determination to explore the region, Prof. Hew ett organized an expedition which started from Gallup, N. M., and, after a 7-day s journey by pack mule the caves were reached. In dians guided him to the spot and conducted him through the gigan tic underground passages. Prof. Hewett, who is m Denver, gave publicity to the story . Professor Hewett will make an other expedition to the caves next spring. He says he has found many evidences of a race of cliff dwellers hitherto unrecorded. The Book Farmer to the Front. The "book farmer" used to be looked upon as a lazy fellow who was trying to avoid work, but wherever you find and up-to-date farmer you'll find a "book farm er" a farmer who isn t satisfied with the limited knowledge acquired by personal experience, but profits by the experience of others. I saw a "book farmer" the other day, a comparatively young man, who started with lim ited means, but he has applied the principles of modern agriculture in his farming methods and with a yield of a bale per acre and 50 bushels of corn per acre he is en abled to improve his home and is arranging to sink a bored well and put in water works on his farm. He never could nave been able to do this with 15 bushels of corn and half bale per acre. It is en couraging to note that we are just entering a new epoch in history as it relates to agricultural condi tions, and the next decade will bring about a transformation in rural life conditions.

LEXINGTON AND OAYIDSON COUNTY. ThomasTllle Preparing to Celebrate onOc tober 2nd. The Southbound Railway. Lexington Dispatch, September 1st. The Southbound railroad is stir rine Lexington life to a faster pace. The first ripples of the tide of local prosperity "have come to town." Strange faces, are seen daily and daily the number of strangers grows. Camps are be ing established along the line and negro laborers are arriving. Con tractor Rhyne has'establishbd his camp on the property of the Southbound Investment Compa ny, back of the graded school. Yesterday Contractor J. J. Shee han 8 force arrived and started fcr Fairmont, from which point they will work back this way Contractor Thomas Sbeehan, who has the concrete work in hand, is making ready to build culverts under the Southern tracks and at Ratts branch,' in this vicinity. Teams are in demand and local teamsters are increasing their equipment. Workingmen are wanted. The town is getting busy. All along the line from Winston to Wadesboro there is gradually increasing activity . Two interesting realty deals took place during the week. Der- moot Shemwell purohased one half in the Development building from his father, Baxter Shemwell, consideration not given ; but the property sold some months ago for $30,000. Dermont Shemwell is now sole owner of the property. Mr. Shemwell also purchased J. W . Noell's residence, corner Fith avenue and State street, the price being $6,000. Mr. Noell has not yet decided what he will do upon the closing out of the trouser factory, but the chances are that he will leave Lexington, which is to be regretted. The board of trade ought to do something to keep this valuable citizen in town. Thomasville is still enthusiastic over the prospects of securing at least one cotton mill in the near future. Dr. J. G. Atkins, a physician and surgeon of China Grove, has moved to Thomasville for the practice of his profession and his office is upstairs over the Corner Drug Store. Tbe sudden and unexpected death of Chas. P. Cox, of East Bend, has thrown the town and community into sadness. He ap parently enjoyed the best of health and while talking to his employer, fell dead at Boyden, near hear on the forenoon of the 15ch. He had for several years been a residenet of East Bend and was held in esteem. He will be missed in our village. Saturday, October 2nd, is going to be one of the liveliest days ever seen in Thomasville. An enthu siastic meeting of tbe manufactur er and business men was held Monday night and committees and officers were appointed to ar range and get every detaik ready for the great day. The programme committee has a long list of inter esting events to be in the pro gramme and every minute of tbe day will be full of interest and excitement. There will be a grand' parade with nearly a hundred beautiful floats, also three or four military companies in dress pa rade, and all the athletes who will take part in the athletic contests, will be in the parade; and all the buggies, carriages and wagons in the county for miles around. Ev erybody in the town is very enthu siastic over the prospects, and nothing will be left undone to make this the most interesting day ever held in Thomasville. The merchants of the town will have something interesting to show you on that day and it will be a great day for bargains. Go With a Rush. The demand for that wonderful Stomach, Liver and Kidney cure, Dr. King's New Life Pills is astounding all druggists say they never saw the like. Its because I thev never fail to enra Snnr fitnm. I ftf.Vv nnnafinolmn T THE FUTURE OF THE UNIVERSE. Di. Mack Outlines Comprehensively Gom ing Events, as Revealed In the Scriptures. "Fifty years ago when tc-was a student at the seminary Dr. Rob ert Breckinridge, one of the great est theologians of his day, was speaking to our class on eschato logy or the things concerning the future of the world and the uni verse. He said : "Ydung gentlemen,. I have read every book that has been writ ten on this subject, I have mas tered all of them . than the authors themselves about But if you live 50 l snow more of the books this subjeot. years longer. you will know more than I do about it." Thus spoke Rev. Dr. J. B. Mack, pastor of College Park Presbyteri an church, Atlanta, to the Second Presbyterian Baraca class room which was crowded with members of the class and others who had come to hear him speak on "The Order of Events." Mr . Mack went on to say that it would have been presumption in any one else to have Baid what Dr. Breckinridge had said. The great teacher's works were true. It is the experience of all students of prophecy to-day that the spirit of God is unfolding it as never before. This conforms with what God said to Daniel : 'Seal up the propheoy until until the time of the end." We think we are the people, in this age in which we live, Dr. Mack went on, bat God deals with the world in ages, and differently in different ages. Past ages have been, and future age?, will be just as our age. We ought to widen our vision to see this. "If I say anything which is new to you, said the speaker, "differ ent from what you have thought, it may be evidence that what I aan,i.trxie. and that ran h&ve beep wrong. It is worth open minded study and investigation. I djon't object if you do not agree witjh me. ,4No man can understand the Scriptures who doesn't understand the doctrine of the ages or dispen sations. Peter speaks of the age up to the Flood, of the age that now is, and of the millenial age to come. "Each age has different charac teristics. Before the flood the span of human life was about 1000 years. Now it is only three score and ten. Then man did not eat flesh. Now he does. Then there was not a written Bible. There was a Bible. Its pages were the blue skies and the Gospel was (and is yet) written in the heav ens in letters of glittering stars. Many of the errors of the church today are nightly contracted in letters of living light One, for instance, is God's wrath upon the evil one and his destiny. I might mention many others." . The speaker went on to refer to the Patriaohal age, from the flcod to Moses; the Mosaic from the Exodus to the Resurrection of Jesus or Pentecost; the Christian, in which we now live, till the second coming of Christ, and tha Millenium, which follows. The Mosaic age was opposed to foreign missions. The Jews were only Gods chosen people.. It any Edomite moved to Judea, his family could not be naturalized until the third generation ; if an Elamite or Moabite, not till the tenth generation. The only way to get into Jewish family was by marriage, as illustrated in the story of Ruth and Boaz. Jesus came only to 'the lost sheep of the House ot Israel.' He sent His disciples only to these. He said to 'the Syrophenician woman : It is not meet to take the chil dren s bread and cast it to the dogs.' This seemingly harsh statement of Jesus is explained by the fact that he was obeying and in harmony with God's purpose for the age in which he was then living. "But the lost sheep of Israel re jected Him. God then turned to the Gentile and began to deal with them and the world in a new dis pensation. Foreign missions is the characteristic of this dispen sation the age of the Chnroh. The appalliug. disobedience and ignorance of the church of the distinct characteristic of their age is seen in the fact that only in the first two or three centuries, and in the last century, have there been any foreign missionary effort worthy of the name. Jas. at the council of Jerusalem summar ized the great purpose of this dis pensation (Acts 15:18-18) when he said it was to take out of the world a people for His (Christ's) name? It is not, therefore, the conversion of the whole world. That is nowhere promised in the Bible to take place in this age. "I think that foreign missions will cease at the end of this age, for Christ, after giving the Great Commission, said: 'Lo, I am with you to the end of the age' (not world). "At the beginning of thiB dis pensation. "1. Christ ascended. "2 . The Spirit of Goddescend ed. "3. The Jews rejected the Gospel, as a race. "4. The Gentiles, who had been in darknesB, began to re ceive the Gospel. "As we are approaching the end of thiB age. "1. The Spirit of God is re vealing future things ('He will show you things to come.') "2. Christians are being aroused and their spiritual life deepened. "3. The Jes are going back to Palestine, the Zionist movement being one of the most significant events cf the present time. 1 4. Nearly all nations "have had the Gospel preached to them. "If we could only realize the importance of mission work at this juncture. Christ shed His blood for me. I accept eternal life from Him as the result of His inconceivable sacrifice, and then give Him, by way of gratitude; the crumbs that fall from my table. One of our Southern Presbyterian preachers sold all that he had and gave it to mis sions. We said he must be crazy and retired him from the minis try. Thus did our own church persecute a man who had a real vision of the meaning of mis sions j Briefly outlining the future, Dr. Mack said, concerning the usher ing in of the next age, the millen ial : 1. There will-be war in heav en Michael and his angels fight ing against Satan and his angels Satan, as the result will be cast down to the earth, 2. Jesus Christ will come from the first heaven to the third heav en. 3. The trumpet of the arch angel will sound. The faithful Christians will be "caught up to meet the Lord in the air." The faithful living ones will be changed, and the faithful dead raised. Then at the judgment seat of Christ they will be judged as to the rewards they are to re ceive for service. 4. With the church gone from the earth, evil will have free play. The personal anti-Christ will come upon the stage. He will have a kingdom. Three others shall be added to him. Finally he will dominate the world. Nobody may buy or sell without having his njark. The concentration of com merce into the. hands of a very few now is the anti-Christian spirit a forewarning of what is coming. 5. The antichrist will make a 7-year covenant or treaty with the Jews, then established nationally in their own country, Palestine, again. In the middle of the term he will go back on his word, and, in the unparalelled persecutions which he will visit on this race they will 'look on Him whom they pierced.' This is the Great Tribulation spoken of by Christ and by New Testament writers. 6. Then will occur the secend stage of the first resurrection. Those who turned to Christ dur ing the tribulation, and died in i martyrdom 'will be raisad. The Jews had the first fruits, the har vest and the gleanings. The book of Ruth Wfiaves this into its beau tiful history. The Old Testament saints were raised with Christ at the time of His resurrection the first fruits. The harvest- comes at the resurrection of the raptured saints (as told in 1 Thess. 4:13-18). The gleanings oome in the resur rection at the end of the Great lribulation. This completes "the first resurrection." The second resurrection precedes the judg ment of the great white throne. 7. Then will be the judgment of the nations, the rebuilding of the Temple, in "the millenium. The old temple of Solomon was the most magnificient building the earth ever saw . The second will far surpass it. It will be over a mile square. Here all the world will worship Israel willingly and the nations of the world willingly or unwillingly, for this is the time of which it is prophesied, "He shall rnle the nations with a rod of iron" Peace will prevail on the earth. 8. After this Satan will be lib erated from the bottomless pit, where he was chained at the begin ning of the millenium and will gather a great army to fight against Jerusalem. He will be taken and cast into the lake of fire where the antichrist and his coad jutor, the false prophet, were cast at the beginning of the millen ium. 9. Then will occur the second resurrection, and the judgment of the Great White Throne. The "wicked dead" now rise and those who were only saved "So as by fire." The last are cast into the lake of fire. 10. Then there come the new heavens and the new earth. SPENCER ITEMS. . Esquire W. L.
